Nanming's Donglin Party was preparing to cause trouble, but Liu Yu did not know.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Right now, the Han Dynasty's energy was all focused on the internal affairs. At the very least, they had to stabilize the four provinces within a month.
Although the policy of equal land and tax exemption was supported by the common people, no one would rebel.
However, it had harmed the interests of many people. In these four provinces, the ones who were the happiest were not the landowners or merchants, but the scholars.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were all spoiled by the Zhu family.
As long as he obtained an official rank, even if he did not become an official, he would be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Now that the Han Dynasty's policy was out, how could scholars who could not differentiate between five grains be able to stand it?
The commoners were the ones farming, and they were lying on the commoners to suck their blood.
Now that the common people had their own fields, no one would farm for them.
Who was stupid?
Instead of planting their own land, they ran to their doorstep to be exploited.
As a result, the scholars of the four provinces gathered together and started to cause trouble.
This was a tradition in the Ming Dynasty. Scholars were very active and liked to cause trouble when they had nothing to do.
Moreover, he even used the slogan of serving the country and the people.
Even if there was no slogan for the country and the people this time, they still thought of a new slogan.
He violated the laws of nature, disturbed the laws and regulations, did not follow Confucianism, did not respect saints, and violated the ancestral system.
Aren't you, Liu Yu, a relative of the Han clan?
Didn't you build the Great Han Dynasty?
How did your Liu Clan's ancestor treat the scholarly faction? How did you, Liu Yu, treat the scholarly faction? What you're doing is deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors!
During the Han Dynasty, your Liu family's ancestor 'eliminated all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.'
Why is it that when it comes to you, your stance is that you want to 'depose Confucianism and praise the Hundred Schools of Science'?
Every day, outside the Forbidden City, at the entrance of the Meridian Gate, there was a crowd of scholars.
These scholars all had a stance that if Liu Yu didn't retract his order, they would die here and let him go down in history.
There were even some scholars who ran to the entrance of Mo Gong Palace and Hundred Craftsmen Palace to curse at the craftsmen inside.
After all, Liu Yu treated these Master Blacksmiths too well.
With this comparison, these scholars felt that they were inferior to a craftsman. They could not stand this grievance.
Liu Yu knew that it was not that he did not care about these things, but that he was waiting.
This group of scholars had been causing a ruckus for a week.
The reason why Liu Yu hadn't been there was because the Royal Guards who had gone to various places to count the troublemakers had yet to return.
The Han Dynasty had just been established. The Jinyiwei, East and West Chambers had yet to be established.
Therefore, the only way to gather information was to let the Royal Guards do it.
"Li Ji, where do you think I should throw these scholars?”Liu Yu leaned back in his chair and said to Li Ji.
"My lord, I think we should treat these scholars differently.
Those scholars who came from big families or official families should be severely punished.
As for those scholars from poor families and merchants, they were given light punishments.
In this way, not only could they divide the scholars, but they could also attack the big families from the side. At the same time, they could secretly raise the status of the merchants.”
Li Ji thought for a moment and suggested an idea.
Liu Yu shook his head. Although what Li Ji said was right, those scholars had committed the same crime, but the punishment was different. It was not good.
Besides, these scholars were all spoiled to the point of being sick.
Even if the punishment was light this time, those scholars would not be grateful. Instead, they would hate you in their hearts.
"That's not right. Instead of keeping these scholars who study eight-legged literature until their brains are damaged, it's better to directly wipe them out.
How about this? I'll lock them up first. After two months, after I defeat the people from Jiangnan, I'll send them to the North together with the people from Jiangnan.
I plan to make a move on the Manchu and Mongolian after the autumn harvest. At that time, I can send them there and let the Manchu and Mongolian learn the eight-legged script.”
Liu Yu thought for a moment and finally decided to treat everyone equally and completely eliminate these scoundrels.
What if there were no scholars?
It was so simple. He just had to cultivate it from the beginning.
Whatever Cheng and Zhu Confucianism, they would be burned directly. Whoever learned it would be sent to the frontier.
It was like dog shit that kept justice and extinguished human desires.
Was there anyone in the Dong Lin Party who could do it?
It was not that Confucianism could not be learned, but one had to learn the earliest version, such as the Analects of Confucius.
As for the future citizens of the Han Dynasty, they would have to learn mathematics, agriculture, and agriculture. Chemistry would have to wait.
After another three days, the scholars became more and more rowdy and even began to block the yamen entrance.
At this moment, the Royal Guards returned and handed the list of troublemakers to Liu Yu.
"Since everyone is here, let's arrest them.”
Liu Yu looked at the name list in his hand and said coldly.
Following Liu Yu's order, a large number of soldiers from the four provinces under the Han Dynasty's control moved out at the same time.
These soldiers were all wearing black armor, with rows of black metal plates that looked like dragon scales. Under the sunlight, they shone like black jade.
The black armor looked like a work of art.
These soldiers were all ink-armored heavy infantrymen trained by Du Yao.
Only 200,000 ink-armored heavy infantrymen would have enough manpower to capture people in the four provinces.
" Let me go, I have a reputation, you can't capture me…Pa…"
" My Confucius, Liu Yu is crazy. He wants to exterminate…Pa…"
" You fools, let go of me! I'm the disciple of a Saint, not you…Pa…"
No matter how these scholars shouted and scolded.
At this time, they were all knocked out by the Black Armored Heavy Infantry soldiers and dragged away.
The actions of the Great Han Dynasty could not be hidden at all. Liu Yu did not want to hide it either.
However, such a large-scale arrest of scholars seemed to be an attempt to capture all of them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, when they saw the Han Dynasty's actions, the Donglin Party in Jiangnan began to tremble.
No, he couldn't wait any longer.
They had to think of a way. This Great Han Dynasty could not be left alive. Otherwise, they would all die.
Although the Dong Lin Party had no moral integrity, they still had some dignity when they were together.
But now, in order to deal with Liu Yu, the Donglin Party couldn't care less anymore.
"Contact the Tartars outside the pass and attack together.”
"And Mongolia, give them iron, tea, and porcelain as long as they send troops.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Also, give Zhang Xianzhong the throne of a king with a different surname. We can even recognize his Great Western Empire and let him send troops.”
It could be said that in order to fight against Liu Yu, the Donglin Party had resorted to all means.
