Wen Genying ran out of the house on impulse, but everything was going well at this time, but he gradually calmed down, and he ran out like this, which seemed to greatly anger his father, and originally thought that someone from the north was going to come to extort and coerce, but who knew that after meeting, he found that it was far from the case.

People have no interest in door-to-door blackmail or anything like that, at least Wen Genying understands it, and his interest in matching men and women who elope is very big.

How does this make a woman who has not yet reached the end of her life deal with herself? Anyway, I guess it's very scary.

Li Xiangqian was also thoughtful, and two "married" women sent her back, and he didn't care about the rest of the matter.

"Actually, I don't care about being demonized at all."

Li Xiangjun was actually very tired, but when Li Xiangqian finished his speech and came back, he still cheered up and chatted with the man: "What did you say?" ”

"The vast majority of people, because they have not undergone real training, so those things that are unfavorable to them have to go through the five stages of denial, anger, compromise, depression, and acceptance, and when they will make up nonsense to attack people, it is often between anger and compromise, at the beginning, they know it, but they are indignant, so they begin to make up nonsense, what can't afford to eat tea eggs, use love to generate electricity or something, this stage is a kind of emotional venting, to the back, began to pin hope on, For example, if the Americans don't eat or drink, they don't want to die, come and help me get promoted and get rich. ”

Li Xiangjun said: "That's lying to yourself." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled: "Aren't people just lying to themselves and living, we have a joke in the later life, when the poor students were poor students, they took rice bowls and went to the restaurant near the local tyrant to eat, smelling the taste of other people's food to eat, ah, of course this is a joke, but we are really deceiving ourselves, even the monks in the temple made vegetarian food into fish and meat, saying that it was a vegetarian dish, and it was okay to eat it, but in fact, it was not self-deception." ”

Li Xiangjun said: "Those monks are indeed skinny. ”

"It's not about the skin, the Ming Dynasty is at this moment, under foreign trade, we sold a lot of silk and porcelain, and returned back the silver as high as the mountain, but there are few corresponding channels that can let them consume, so they degenerate, eat, drink and have fun, and send it to the temple, pray that they can be prosperous and rich for generations, in fact, the Buddha himself can not protect himself, in the birthplace of the Buddha, and the place where it once flourished hundreds of years ago, after being slaughtered, people have nothing to do, play as usual, If they co-author, they will bully those who believe in them. ”

"This is the ideological crisis of the Ming Dynasty, the manifestation of the lack of goals of the people, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, well, of course, the people in Jiangnan arranged us, it has been shown that they are easy to deal with."

Li Xiangjun said: "The people of the Wen family, whether we give a gift to comfort us is also ......."

Li Xiangqian thought about it, but there is an uncle who is messing around in Suzhou, and it is really not good to offend people to death, killing chickens to show monkeys and killing a person is nothing, and there is indeed a problem with too many enemies.

"You know, these scholars, every day they have nothing to do, they just think about it, and they don't have anything useful for the country, and I have the impression that someone reminded a corrupt relative and sent a letter with only a handful of tea leaves and a few grains of salt in it, what does this mean? People actually reasoned out, tea (check) salt (salt tax) empty (deficit), you talk about it, maybe I don't want to do things, I may scare a person to death, and these Ming scholars, use their skills on this, is it possible not to lag behind. ”

Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "After all, they are familiar with the local people and have high prestige. ”

Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "There is one point, Xiangjun is only afraid that he is a fan of the authorities, and it is also the reason why the local people are afraid of the gentry...... For the Ming Dynasty, what was the purpose of the imperial examination? ”

"Recruiting talents?"

"Wrong, there are many ways to use people, just like in my Great Song Dynasty, it is to calm people's hearts, there were people who passed the examination and entered the palace examination, but after being brushed down, the hope was too great, and the disappointment was too great, and in a fit of anger, he directly took refuge in the Xixia people, and since then the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial examination has reached the level of the palace examination, and it will no longer fall behind, this is political wisdom."

Li Xiangjun thought for a while, "The heroes of the world have entered my net." ”

"Almost, there was also an incident in the Ming Dynasty, the North-South List Incident, as a northerner, I have to be fair, Lao Zhu used the North-South List to divide the number of people in the imperial examination, and he also had his considerations."

Li Xiangjun said: "What Lang Jun means, these gentlemen ......"

"The imperial court relies on the imperial examination system, relatively fair election of the gentry, these gentry are equivalent to the cushion of the imperial court, as long as the gentry are there, they will take the initiative to maintain local security, which can be regarded as a degree of stability, and as a lubricant, the relationship between the gentry and the people is actually very complicated, not only the relationship between water and fish, in short, the reason why the court values the gentry is because they can influence the direction of the people, and the reason why ordinary people trust the gentry is just to not be bullied. At least you won't be afraid of a lawsuit, and if you make a move, you can almost go sideways. ”

Li Xiangjun thought for a while and said, "In other words, it seems that people like the Wen family have now become a tree without roots?" ”

"That's right, I think he is a descendant of a legendary character, and he may treat him differently, but this family has wasted firewood to this extent, a letter expressing friendship, he is suspicious to this extent, even if he wants to use them, I don't dare, so you see, if you choose watermelon, you also have to choose thin-skinned sand, this Wen family, I'm afraid I can't support my status."

Li Xiangjun pondered for a moment and said: "What Lang Jun means is that if you reuse the Wen family and stabilize people's hearts, you are actually helping the Wen family." ”

"Yes!" Li Xiangqian was extremely satisfied: "Ordinary people, how do you know who is rich? For example, I appointed someone from the Wen family as an official, which seems to be to win over the morale, but if we don't pay attention to this morale, it actually has no effect on the minds of the masses. ”

Li Xiangjun sighed: "Pity these scholars, the things they rely on for survival are so fragile, do you have to use those spears to sprint to govern the country." ”

"How can it be, Confucianism, it's just a crutch, when we just learn to walk, it's a support, and when we reach adulthood, we should throw it away and start learning to run, but some people are still holding it, and naturally there will be problems, of course, even in the future, the civil government is absolutely necessary, but there is no Confucianism in the content of the exam."

However, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, I still want a spear, I have one on me, the best treasure gun that has been produced and maintained for more than 20 years, do you want to try it?" ”

Not to mention the happy time at night, when Wen Genying replied at home, no one even found out about her "disappearance", and there was finally a sentry at the door, and she was afraid that the legendary imperial capital would come to capture her, and when she found that someone was coming, no matter who it was, she screamed loudly.

When Wen Genying shouted to open the door, went back to the inner house, and handed over the small note to Wen Tao, they still hadn't slept, and were nervously discussing countermeasures.

"Ying'er, how dare you go out without permission at this moment, if not...... I have to ask for family law! ”

Wen Tao took the note, this word is much worse than before, but the content is completely different.

He immediately asked, "What is this?" ”

"My daughter just went to the Humble Administrator's Garden to ask to see her, and the adult was very generous, saying that since it was inconvenient, he would not come to the door."

"Ahh A man dressed as a literati next to him heard this and exclaimed, "Could it really be that I came to see calligraphy and painting!" ”

Wen Tao is also suspicious, but her daughter goes out privately, and it can be said that her reputation is a big loss, and she said: "You go back to the inner house first, dare to go out at will, and punish you to go to the ancestral hall!" ”

Although Wen Qiang was busy and tired, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Dad, it seems that this is true, the person who delivered the letter before seems to have gone to the lake to see the scenery, and there are not many people around, not like a fierce god, and the people who can't keep it are really here to see the treasure." ”

Wen Tao looked at a scholar and said, "What is this?" ”

The scholar looked a little flustered, and said: "It must be that he is treacherous and difficult to succeed, so he pushes the boat down the river, it is so, you don't see, the thief just arrived in Jiangnan, he killed a person alive, a official, this is still not personally brought to the troops, the county officials around the country are already rumors, dare not stop it, sir, I don't think you can take it lightly, you know, thieves are all rebellious, rebellion, how can there be credit." ”

Wen Tao's face was sad, and he said, "What do you mean, this is a lie to us?" ”

The scholar nodded continuously and said: "Yes, Wen Lao, it is better to be sooner rather than later, don't fall for the thief's delaying tactics, he sent this letter, it is nothing more than dragging your family to dare not leave the county, and then you can come to the door to loot, I think, just flee quickly." ”

Wen Tao groaned: "This emperor is from the capital, since he is also a big member, he should be trustworthy when he speaks. ”

The scholar said bitterly: "My big brother, what years are they, you forgot, the northwest thieves a few years ago are a typical example of capriciousness, forcing the government to the end, and the thieves who surrendered are all killed, if you want me to see, it is better to publish famous posts, gather the gentry, and ask for thieves, these people are only dozens, they dare to show off their power in Jiangnan, not everyone is timid, dare not make a move, but once someone rises up, it is like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the world is shaken, and it also makes people understand that I Jiangnan is not so bullying." ”

Wen Tao trembled, this matter is too big, and said: "This kind of thing, I'm afraid that it will last for a long time, and I have to do it all day long, and people see that it is about to arrive a moment ago, how can I do it in time." ”

Wen Qiang suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Dad, when is it, still talking about this, do you think people will do so much if they are really unfavorable to us, and let us come and go, although the little sister is reckless, but after the past, she will also take a good picture of the maid and send it back, this is a polite number." ”

The scholar said, "Polite? If you don't know the number of courtesies, do you come to the door, it must be the villain's ambition, so you ......"

Wen Qiang suddenly picked up the post, pointed to it, and said: "Look at it yourself, this letter said by itself, it is to admire the calligraphy and painting left by the ancestors, begging for appreciation, the reason why it is so abrupt is also because of busy official business, it can't be delayed, people come from the imperial capital well, and they don't bring a single soldier, although they are not close to our Jiangnan gentry, but there is no offense, speaking of which is still our lack of courtesy, Hou Fangyu, it is all you who make a lot of nonsense and say some slanderous words, but let my father do something wrong." ”

Hou Fangyu seemed to be very excited, and said: "I really didn't expect that I was full of enthusiasm, but in exchange for such suspicions, I am for the good of your family, just let me go." ”

Wen Tao is not young, but he doesn't have an idea, seeing that this "nephew" who came to travel and borrow is about to leave, he hurriedly stopped: "Chaozong, don't be angry, you are also for the good of my family, but you have suffered such a catastrophe, I don't have an idea, the dog doesn't know things, if everyone blames them after listening to others' advice, then there is no one in the world who has an idea, however, people don't seem to have malicious intentions, which is a bit ......"

Wen Qiang is younger, and he wants to come up with a play: "Dad, you still don't understand, people are at least a person who admires my family's style and poetry books, and wants to see calligraphy and paintings, which is a good thing to find nowhere to find with a lantern, but my family pushes out, I want to say, get up early and go to the Humble Administrator's Garden to return the gift, it's best to take calligraphy and painting, go and make amends, such a good opportunity, if you don't grasp it, then it's ......."

Hou Fangyu looked at him, but said viciously gloomy: "Good brother, you have really made progress, but I don't know when you plan to open the city gate and welcome the thieves into the city." ”

Wen Qiang was annoyed: "You are spewing blood, how can we be like this, but isn't the form of the world like this now, is it wrong to pay some respects to others?" ”

Wen Tao said: "Don't say it, these people from the imperial capital, although they are arrogant, but in the end, Bingfeng can't even see the Yangtze River, what are they afraid of, it's just fooling away, don't live in Wu County in the future, the family is separated in the countryside, it can be regarded as a retreat." ”

Wen Qiang smiled and said: "Father, don't be like this Hou Gongzi, he has read too many sage books, and he has lost his mind and gone crazy, not to mention anything else, the ship from the imperial capital of the people can come to the mouth of the Yangtze River smoothly, and the various northern goods that are transported every day are countless, and the goods can be transported, I think, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that in a few days, the army of people will be killed, and our Wu County is here, where to run." ”

Wen Tao's face changed, and he scolded: "Where do you make you bewitch the public, and you can also talk about this military affairs?" ”
