Han Yan and the first year of the summer of the fifth month of Renchen (twenty-seventh).

After spending a few days in Ganquan Palace, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin returned to Chang'an.

Riding in the heavily protected palace car, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin both opened the curtains and looked at the market situation outside the window.

At this moment, in Chang'an, there are scholars everywhere talking about and whipping the immorality of slavery.

After being occupied by the Confucian scholars and mastering the right to speak in public opinion, the nobles and the powerful have no one who can fight.

This 'abolitionist movement' can be called the first great unity of all Confucian factions since the Han Dynasty.

The Ram School, holding high the banner of Dong Zhongshu, waved "Spring and Autumn", and vigorously whipped slavery and land annexation.

By the way, take out the businessman who is not benevolent to the rich, and step on it again 10,000 times.

And the Guliang school held high the banner of 'benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness', 'people-oriented' and 'not competing with the people', and by the way, it whipped the slaves.

Even the Simeng School took the opportunity to start preaching its own doctrine, following behind the Ram and Big Brother Gu Liang to gain some fame.

Since the Warring States Period, since Mencius, the various schools of Confucianism have never reached such a consensus on a certain matter.

Liu Jin was excited, his face was full of passion, and he felt that this was what a reader should do.

However, Zhang Yue was a little worried.

He didn't even know whether his act of instigating Gong Yu and others this time was right or wrong?

But one thing, he can be sure.

Literati and doctors, through this campaign, will realize their own energy.

From now on, they may be even more active.

That's not a good thing.

Once there are careerists, after participating in and mastering the power of the student movement and public opinion, it is difficult to guarantee that these scum will not evolve into the Donglin Party or something.

So......

"The thread of Taixue can't be broken!" Zhang Yue told himself in his heart: "Instead of letting others grasp and monopolize the right to speak in public opinion, it is better for me to control and guide!" ”

In other words, he had to make a greater effort academically.

Preferably, make yourself an academic leader.

Otherwise, it is not enough to monopolize and control public opinion.

……………………………………

The palace car drove into the Weiyang Palace.

In front of Simamen, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin got out of the carriage.

Gong Yu, Wang Ji, Yang Wangzhi, Zeng Sheng, Sang Jun, Zhao Guo, Hu Jian, Chen Wannian and other subordinates who were waiting here immediately rushed up and bowed respectfully: "The ministers and others welcome His Royal Highness and the servants back to ......Beijing."

"Please wait for the ......" Liu Jin stepped forward very happily, helped everyone up one by one, and said, "Qing and others have worked hard!" ”

"Don't dare!" Gong Yu and others were also full of excitement, and the 'abolitionist movement' that was clamoured this time has developed so far, and has exerted enough public opinion pressure on the powerful nobles in the entire Guanzhong.

Whether they are willing or unwilling, the major tycoons, nobles and three princes and nine kings have to comply with the call of public opinion and begin to release some slaves and maids in an orderly manner.

In just a few days, in Chang'an City alone, thousands of slaves and maids were released.

In the entire Guanzhong, the number of slaves and maids who have been released is probably close to three thousand.

Although, at least half of these freed slaves and maids are old and weak, women and children, and there is not much value for exploitation, and there is even no value for exploitation.

But it's still a great victory! An unprecedented victory!

With their own efforts and their own sweat, they have won justice, saved the world, and corrected people's hearts!

This is something that Dong Zi has written many times to complain about, but he can't do it.

Naturally, everyone is excited, excited, and uplifted.

So much so that many students are now starting to flutter.

But Gong Yu and others still maintain enough modesty.

Because they know very well that their efforts will not succeed without the support and acquiescence of the top.

Zhang Yue looked at these excited students and sighed in his heart.

He was a little unsure whether he was freeing a devil or an angel who might save the world.

But at this point, he can only take one step at a time.

"It's man-made, maybe I can take a different path......," Zhang Yue thought to himself.

Everyone embraced Liu Jin and Zhang Yue, entered Weiyang Palace, and then entered the Feige Pavilion of Weiyang Palace, and entered Jianzhang Palace.

Along the way, Gong Yu and others happily introduced to Liu Jin and Zhang Yue, introducing the changes inside and outside Chang'an City in the past few days.

Talking about the aristocracy and the powerful began to release slaves and maids, everyone was even more excited.

Liu Jin was also very happy, and discussed with them, looking forward to a future in which the state began to restrict slavery and land annexation under the advocacy of the 'righteous people'.

One by one, their eyebrows fluttered, thinking that victory was close at hand.

Zhang Yue listened to the side and shook his head secretly.

How can it be so simple?

Sang Jun and other officials also bowed their heads and remained silent.

Fools know that the aristocracy and the powerful can reach the current point is already the limit.

Want them to give in again?

Hehe......

No way!

Sang Jun even felt that the victory of the Tai students and Confucian students might not last long.

Because......

The freed slaves and maids had no property at all.

I'm afraid they won't even be able to guarantee what they'll eat tomorrow.

The choice of the vast majority of slaves and maids is probably to continue to go back to their masters......

Zhang Shizhong...... Zhang Shizhong, why are you so depressed? Zhang Yue's abnormality finally made Liu Jin notice, and he asked, "Aren't you happy for those slaves and maids who were released?" ”

"Of course the minister is happy for them......" Zhang Yue bowed his head and said, "However, the minister is also worried about them......"

"Huh?"

"It's the middle of summer, and when the green and yellow are not ......available," Zhang Yue said in a deep voice: "The slaves and maids who have been released, except for a few who can be greeted by their families, the rest are all lonely people, without relatives and ...... for no reason."

"They have no wealth, no skills, no wealth...... Ragged and hungry things......"

"Where does Your Highness think they can go?"

Liu Jin listened slightly, and Gong Yu and the others were even poured a plate of cold water.

They were so happy that they forgot that the freed slaves were probably in a worse situation than being slaves.

Especially those who are old and weak, women and children.

Will they be able to find a place to live? Can I have something to eat?

However, most people, including Gong Yu and Liu Jin, have forgotten this.

At this moment, when Zhang Yue pointed it out, they couldn't be happy immediately.

"In Qing's opinion, what should Lone do?" Liu Jin thought for a moment and asked.

"Let Shaofuqing post a notice...... Zhang Yue sighed: "If you have no family and no support, let Shaofuqing take them in properly, and then find a way to arrange to find a job in Shanglin Yuan......"

This is also the best ending for these freed slaves.

This is also due to the relatively small number of freed slaves.

Otherwise, Shao Fuqing may not have much to do.

Especially those old and weak women and children, who have no exploitation value, I am afraid that they will starve to death and freeze to death in this summer.
