The debate in South Seeker Tabloid escalated step by step.
In the beginning, the tabloids were still arguing that novels should conform to benevolence, justice, and etiquette,
Or out of their own preferences.
As waves of sects and celebrities appeared one after another,
The speed of the evolution of the topic increased sharply. It was like a snowball rolling.
People had already begun to argue about the yearning for love and the acquisition of wealth,
Whether the request to enjoy wealth and so on was legitimate.
Further, for example, Sun Lisheng, who had returned from the Western Hemisphere, clearly opposed the restrictions of etiquette,
Emphasizing agriculture and light commerce. He did not shy away from freely obtaining wealth,
How important was it to protect one's personal property when one's freedom was not restricted, when one's freedom was not restricted.
There were also fierce scholars,
Such as Li Baiquan and the others, who openly said, "What 'parents are there, selfless wealth'. What ruler and minister, father and son,
It's all bullshit! It's the root of father and brother fighting each other! "
And with the appearance of people from the imperial court, Doctor Wang of the Ministry of Rites, published a draft to reprimand "Stink of Copper Industry and Commerce, no ruler and no father",
This time, the argument.
Was like adding oil to a raging fire,
Had reached an extremely dangerous point.
The speed of this advancement,
It was as if … as if someone was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
Lin Daiyu was worried about this,
She tossed and turned uneasily.
However, when she mentioned this matter to Lin Ruoshan, Lin Ruoshan was stunned.
Lin Ruoshan just smiled,
He comforted her, "Daiyu, don't be afraid.
Just write your novel, write what you want to write, and say what you want to say. Don't worry about anything else. "
Lin Daiyu looked at her uncle's nonchalant attitude and seemed to understand something.
Not long after, someone brought up the topic of land rent in Xiaoxiang's last novel, "Immortal Song". It was unknown who the alias was, but it was directly pointed out:
The reason why people in the world are in pain now is because of etiquette, land rent, and no freedom. And the emperor was the head of all the evil in the world, the biggest parasite in the world, the biggest landlord.
One wave raised a thousand feet of waves.
In the imperial court, from dusk to dawn, overnight, the noble ministers, from the Prime Minister to the seventh-rank officials, all submitted memorials.
Among them were Jia Shi, Wang, and Xue of the Four Great Clans. They all presented a considerable amount of evidence that the Southern Merchants had long had the intention of rebelling and had colluded with the rebels.
Apart from the South Seeker tabloids, there were also a large number of Xiaoxiang's novels, as well as a survey of his novels. His "crazy and rebellious" novels could only be so widely circulated with the support of the Southern Industry and Commerce Bureau.
After reading the "evidence", the emperor flew into a rage. He ordered all businesses to be restricted, and anyone who was involved would have their entire family wiped out and their property confiscated.
All of a sudden, all the merchants felt threatened.
Starting from the capital, as far as the dynasty could reach, merchants with a slight background in the south who showed the slightest bit of opposition to the officials' extortion were sent to the guillotine in an endless stream.
At the same time, the South also responded.
The Short-Haired Ghost, the most powerful rebel army in the south, had become much more powerful overnight. It was unknown where they had obtained a large amount of resources and wealth. There were also many literate people who sought refuge in the army.
The most extreme among the reformists, such as Li Baiquan and the others, even abandoned their brushes and defected to the rebels. Their entire families defected to the rebels.
Many places in the south had things happening in just a few days.
Inside the town, the citizens and businessmen, from the wealthy businessmen to the lowliest cart drivers and pulp sellers, were constantly holding "clamor", "scrambling for rice", protesting the money laws, protesting the shops, protesting the market, and gathering people to make trouble.
The local officials did not care at first. That was because the starving people in the city, the commoners, due to their poor lives and high taxes, often caused trouble. However, they were just a mob.
However, this incident became bigger and bigger. The soldiers who went to suppress them were all beaten to death. Among the rioters, there was actually a fully armed commander.
Under his command, the cities rioted, and the rioters attacked the government office and hanged the local official.
The soldiers wanted to report to the county next door, but outside the city, the rebels were already eyeing them.
Organized and premeditated insurrections of this kind were incessantly raised in many towns.
As for the Provincial Governor defecting to the enemy, half of Yunnan fell.
It was as if the situation had changed overnight. Surging undercurrents surged out, turning the earth and sky upside down.
The world was in an uproar.
Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, had a feeling that the dust had settled.
She raised her head and looked out of the window. The cheers outside shook the heavens. On the streets, those thin and weak commoners were crowding around wooden cages.
The shackles that usually bound the criminals and rebels were carried on the neck of the county magistrate who was captured alive.
The wind started to blow. The wind blew away the dark clouds, and it also blew away the black veil hats on people's heads.
She stared deeply at this scene.
That year, she was 17 years old.
