Compared with the other scholars under the drum tower who were still struggling with the matter of the meal, Xiong Bolong was thinking more.

Of course, most of these ideas are based on surprise and shock.

If he heard it correctly just now, what this Luo Shuban said was that Liu Ge Lao planned to promote universal education in Huguang Province?

Is this to let everyone read, who will plant the field, who will do the weaving and silkworm raising?

How have I ever heard such a strange thing since ancient times, if you really want to follow Liu Ximing's approach, what use can you be for these scholars in the future?

At that moment, Xiong Bolong immediately asked these questions.

On the drum tower, Luo Yongshou looked at Xiong Bolong's eyes full of appreciation.

"This Xiong Shengren does think long-term, but the problem you are worried about is not a problem in the eyes of the elder of the pavilion."

"As I said just now, the reason why the world is not peaceful is because of the inequality of people, so that the wise bully the stupid, and the strong bully the infirm, and the implementation of universal education is to bridge the intellectual gap between people."

"As for Xiong Shengyuan's concern that there are too many scholars in the world, Liu Ge has long pointed out that the reason for the development of the world is that the rulers are important, but those who are proficient in hundreds of jobs are equally important."

"For example, all the scholars in the middle of the world want to be an official, no matter how this official position is assigned, it will not be enough, and if there are more scholars in the future, they can go to study hundreds of jobs, business travel, music theory and other things, so that everyone can make money, isn't it happy."

"Bastard thing, how can I be confused with a pariah like Baigong when I read the sage book!"

Luo Yongshou didn't say anything, but as soon as he said this, many scholars under the drum tower were even more angry.

"Fuck your shit!"

Suddenly, a shocking and angry scolding came from outside the crowd, which directly suppressed all the voices outside the drum tower.

The gentleman who had just spoken out was suddenly flushed with anger, and he directly blushed and looked around violently.

"Who, who dares to speak wildly?"

A big road suddenly branched out in the crowd, and Liu Ximing, who was dressed in a big red python robe, strode out majestically under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, and He Tengjiao and several other Huguang officials followed behind him.

Liu Ximing had a gloomy face, and as soon as he entered the crowd, he directly said angrily:

"Fang is what the official said, what are you going to do?"

it!

The scholars under the drum tower, including Xiong Bolong and others, all hurriedly bowed down and bowed, "The scholars of Wuchang Mansion pay a visit to Liu Gebu. ”

The face of the gentleman who opened his mouth to scold angrily instantly turned from red to pale, and he was stunned for a while.

Liu Ximing glanced at him dissatisfied, snorted coldly, turned to look at the onlookers and said:

"What this official scolded was not aimed at him, but the absurd words in his mouth, what is the meaning of all the industrial and commercial brigades are untouchables, according to what you say, the Yellow Emperor invented the car, Shennong tasted all the herbs, and the Suiren clan invented fire, these are all untouchables, so are they all untouchables?"

"According to what you say, all the people of China are inherited from the Yellow Emperor Yan, then we are all untouchables, what qualifications do you have to be domineering here!"

Liu Ximing's angry expression made all the scholars present tremble, only to hear him continue to say angrily:

"One or two at every turn is what to read the sages and learn the policy of governing the country, I bah!"

"Now that the court is full of people like you, has this country been governed? Now that corruption is rife all over the world, has anyone remembered the way of the sages they have learned? ……”

Liu Ximing scolded for more than ten minutes before stopping, but he was happy, and the faces of the onlookers around him were like pig's liver.

This overseer and assistant minister is so ruthless!

Fortunately, Liu Ximing also knew that today was mainly a matter of official reform, and after scolding, his face finally returned to calm and said:

"These words are not aimed at you personally, this cabinet was also an aspiring young man before he became an official, but officialdom is a dung pit of fame and fortune, which is enough to dye everyone into a foul smell."

"It is precisely because of this that this pavilion has high hopes for you, and it is inevitable that the tone of the speech will be heavier, or that sentence, Hu Guangsheng still has a lot of talents in the eyes of the cabinet, you can rest assured, this pavilion will never pit you because of the reform of the official rule, you can rest assured to apply for the exam."

After Liu Ximing finished speaking, there was a hint of difficulty on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"The cabinet also knows that after all, the students from wealthy families are a minority, and now many students have difficulties in making a living, in order to reflect the heart of the cabinet's cherishing scholars, all the students who have been successfully admitted to the cabinet, the cabinet will squeeze out some money and food from the military expenses, and issue a special allowance of about two dollars for each student."

"Is the elder serious?"

As soon as Liu Ximing said this, many students all asked with joy and surprise on their faces.

Even some people who didn't care much about money and food all smiled, which shows Liu Ge's sincerity.

Liu Ximing put his hands behind his back, and the aura of the cabinet deputy assistant was full.

"As the chief assistant of the imperial court, how could this pavilion do such a broken word and gain weight? You can rest assured. ”

"Wow"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Looking at Liu Ximing and the others who turned around and left after speaking, Xiong Bolong looked up at the Drum Tower and fell silent.

He looked at several friends around him, Tan Fengzhen, Tan Mingjin, Zhang Sanyi, and Zhang Luru.

"Brother Ming Jin, Brother Lu Ru, what do you think of this recruitment of examiners?"

Zhang Sanyi was the one who had left a place for Xiong Bolong and others in the crowd before, and when he saw Xiong Bolong asking, he smashed his mouth and said:

"You don't really want to report to this Laoshi Zixu official, with this kung fu, wouldn't it be better to worry more about the imperial examination?"

Xiong Bolong was about to speak, when he suddenly looked at the other students around him who were watching and discussing, and pulled Tan Fengzhen and Zhang Sanyi out of the drum tower.

Several people tossed around a few times to the vicinity of the Yellow Crane Tower, and sat down at a tea stall with few people.

After the owner of the tea stall came up to serve tea, several people told him not to disturb him, and chatted while drinking tea.

"I can't hide it", Xiong Bolong took a sip of the coarse tea bowl, "Foolish brother thinks that this imperial examination is not necessarily reliable." ”

Zhang Sanyi took a cool breath, "Hey, how do you say this?" ”

But before he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw that Tan Fengzhen also had a deeply approving expression.

Zhang Sanyi's face immediately showed a look of horror, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiong Bolong and stammered:

"Isn't it, don't you think this court wants to ......?"

"Finished?" , Glancing around again, Zhang Sanyi leaned his head in the direction of the table, and said in a cautious whisper.

"It's not that we think it, but that's the case right now," Xiong Bolong sighed again.

"Now the thieves are king in Henan, and it is said that a while ago they have defeated Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, and now they have most of Henan and Shaanxi, and they are still advancing to Shanxi."

"As for the south, Zhang Xianzhong, a traitor, is also king in Changsha, Nanhuguang, and most of Jiangxi are occupied by him, how do you look at this situation, it is also a typical troubled era, at this time, what kind of excitement do we have to go to the imperial court?"

"But, but, didn't Liu Ge Lao only defeat the thieves, and he also held Wuchang City? Doesn't this mean that the imperial court still has a chance? ”

Zhang Sanyi still couldn't accept the fact that the imperial pill was still a little, and immediately subconsciously retorted.

Xiong Bolong showed a wry smile on his face, "Liu Ge Lao is indeed a genius, but it is said that although he resisted the thieves and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, he has no strength to counterattack now. ”

"But thieves are different, now there are people who can't eat enough all over the world, Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves can pull up a vote wherever they go, otherwise how could they suppress thieves for more than ten years, but the thieves are getting stronger and stronger?"

"Brother Fool hadn't thought about it before, but after Zhang and Li became kings in a row, they suddenly found out that the world had become dangerous."

Zhang Sanyi suppressed the panic in his heart, and said strangely: "But in this case, shouldn't we even more take the exam for this Xu official, if the first-class thief comes, then won't we become ghosts under the knife?" ”

Tan Fengzhen, who was silent on the side, suddenly smiled and answered: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you are confused." ”

"That's right, right now, Liu Ge's old subordinates don't have enough soldiers and horses to counterattack the Liukou, but now in addition to him in the Central Plains, the feudal official still has soldiers and horses in his hands, he can't beat the Liukou, but the Liukou can't beat him, Huguang at this time is the most peaceful."

"In addition, haven't you seen today's events, then He Junmen is the governor of a province, but he is submissive in front of Liu Gelao, I think, this Huguang will be surnamed Liu sooner or later."
