Chapter 234: Not Only Revenge For The Imperial Academy’S Wine Sacrifice, But Also Revenge For The En
Recalling the results of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but snorted:
"Hmph, six million stones?!"
"Then you underestimate them too!!!"
"After confiscating all their homes and annihilating their clans, they confiscated more than 33 million taels of property, which is more than half of the current total annual income of the imperial court!!!"
It was precisely because of the seizure of more than 33 million taels worth of property that Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more angry towards Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others!
After all, under normal circumstances, with their own rewards and their salaries, the nine clans of their respective tribes would have at most a property worth several million cloth and grain.
But now, all nine of their respective clans combined have confiscated property worth more than 33 million taels. From this, we can know how much they have embezzled!!!
And this was the result after many of their family members had participated in Yan Changqing's previous colored glaze auctions and spent millions to buy some colored glazes that Zhu Yuanzhang now considered worthless.
If this part of the money is added, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be surprised if property worth 40 million taels is found.
Hearing the amount mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang, even Yan Changqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
The property and property worth more than 33 million taels is truly astonishing.
But if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable.
After all, Hu Weiyong's previous wave of rebellion coerced two-thirds of the top, middle and lower-level civil servants, and about one-fifth of the middle- and lower-level military generals and nobles to join his rebellion.
After Zhu Yuanzhang captured these people, he didn't show any mercy at all. He directly ordered the execution of all nine clans of the two-thirds of the top civil servants and the one-fifth of the military generals and nobles!!
Together, these people are equivalent to almost half of the civil and military nobles of the day!!!
If the combined wealth of half of the nine noble families in the dynasty did not amount to tens of millions of taels, then Yan Changqing felt that Zhu Yuanzhang might have really wronged a good person.
Yan Changqing shook his head and didn't pay much attention to these things.
After all, money is not important to him. He is not short of money. If he wants to make money, he can reasonably and legally make money that can rival the country in minutes.
Not to mention other aspects, in addition to the previous glaze firing technology, he also developed the technology of making cement.
Today, more than 60% of the buildings in this agricultural college are made of cement.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, don't seem to realize the importance of cement yet.
As long as he points out the importance of cement and then sells the cement technology, if nothing else, he can at least earn tens of millions of taels of silver.
Immediately, Yan Changqing frowned slightly and said:
"Since there is no problem with money and food, the remaining problem is how to find someone with strong credibility to overturn the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man".
"After all, both Your Majesty and Your Highnesses are essentially the judges of this world, and it is not suitable to go directly to the court to overturn (bheb) "Theory of Induction of Heaven and Man"
"As for other people with strong credibility, most of Tian You are from Confucianism."
"After all, if you want to be a person with strong credibility, it means you have to be a person with a high status."
"People with high status often receive Confucian education and culture."
“It is not easy for such a person to come forward to overturn the Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man.
"You might even bite back on the spot and take the initiative to lose to the Confucian people who discussed the theory of the connection between heaven and man. It is also possible to further strengthen the correctness of the theory of connection between heaven and man."
Hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the ten princes including Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di also frowned.
Indeed, as Yan Changqing said, the more noble a person is, the more likely he is to be a knowledgeable person from a certain perspective.
The more knowledgeable he is, the deeper his Confucian imprint is and the more he agrees with Confucian cultural concepts!!!
It is not easy to get such people to actively cooperate to overthrow the Confucian "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man", and it is indeed risky.
At least Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, were also worried that such a person would superficially agree.
When the time comes to truly discuss the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man", he directly proves the correctness of "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" by dying.
At that time, facing that situation, even Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes will have numb claws and headaches.
Just when everyone was frowning, thinking about the suitable candidate to overturn the "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man".
The eyes of King Yan Zhu Di inadvertently glanced at Yan Changqing who was standing at the edge of the podium, and then his eyes lit up and he said:
"I know someone who has strong credibility and is suitable to overturn the "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man"!!!"
Yan Changqing, Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Tan and other princes all focused their attention on Zhu Di.
Zhu Di said excitedly:
“You must have strong credibility, and be extremely familiar with the Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man, and be able to overturn the Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man under the pressure of Confucianists. Such a person
Mr. Yan is the most suitable person!!!"
Yan Changqing looked at Yan Wang Zhu Di, raised his eyebrows lightly and said:
"I agree with what I said later, but the first point - strong credibility, I don't meet the requirements.
Although he received extremely high attention from Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and his credibility was comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang to some extent.
But this kind of credibility was only effective in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.
Among the civil and military officials in the court, among Confucian students, literary students, and the people of the world, he did not have such strong credibility. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was an unknown little player.
Faced with Yan Changqing's self-denial, Zhu Di shook his head and said:
"Mr. Yan may not have such strong credibility now, but in a few days, my father will personally lead all the civil and military officials to harvest potatoes from the field, which will yield at least 20 shi per mu."
"At that time, Mr. Yan will put on a mask and become Saint Yan who discovered, planted, and promoted potatoes with a yield of at least 2,000 kilograms!!!"
"When it comes to credibility among civil and military officials and the people of the world, it is estimated that it is only inferior to my father!!!"
"At that time, Mr. Yan, who became Saint Yan, will take the initiative to question and overturn the theory of the induction of heaven and man."
"Wait until a few years later when potatoes will really be promoted to the whole world."
"After the people of the world know that the person who questioned and overturned the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" is Saint Yan who brought them potatoes, they will become even more convinced of the falsehood of "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man"!!!"
"Therefore, no one is more suitable than Mr. Yan to come forward to question and overturn the theory of the induction of heaven and man!!!"
“Besides, hasn’t Mr. Yan always disliked Confucianism?!!”
"This is a very good opportunity to slap Confucianism in the face. How could Mr. Yan miss it?!"
"Instead of sitting back and watching others slap Confucianism in the face, why not Mr. Yan personally slap Confucianism in the face, throw Confucianism's face to his feet and trample on it, wouldn't that be fun?!"
At the end, Zhu Di's words were full of confusion.
After listening to what Zhu Di said, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and other princes, their eyes lit up.
Then they all looked at Yan Changqing, and finally nodded, saying that Zhu Di's choice was very reasonable and suitable!!!
Yan Changqing on the podium was slightly stunned, but I have to say that what Zhu Di said is indeed very reasonable.
Moreover, the fact that he personally slapped Confucianism in the face really interested Yan Changqing.
After all, he had always remembered the fact that the Imperial Academy offered wine to Kong Kebiao and kicked him out of the Imperial Academy.
It's just that I have never been too lazy to take revenge before.
In other words, his revenge was not revenge against Kong Kebiao, but revenge against Confucianism as a whole!
But now there is an opportunity to retaliate not only against Kong Kebiao personally, but also against Confucianism as a whole.
Yan Changqing thought about it and felt that he really had no reason to refuse.
So Yan Changqing nodded, looked at Yan King Zhu Di and said:
"I didn't expect that I would sell myself out before I knew it."
"But I really have no reason to refuse. In that case, it will be up to me to overturn the "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" when the time comes."
"Like the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony, the contemporary head of the Confucius family, and other messy Confucian celebrities in the world, please invite everyone you can.
"At that time, there will be a discussion meeting on "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" directly at the market center of Yingtianfu. In front of all the people, we will completely overthrow the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man"!!!
