Recently, Chengdu Mansion is the most lively, and the most lively places are no more than three:

The Huitong Qianzhuang General Village outside the Houzai Gate of the Shu King's Mansion, the stock trading place spontaneously formed in the back street of the Longwang Temple, and the location of the Fuxue: Wen Weng Stone Room.

Huitong Qianzhuang is a place where silver comes in and out, and it has been very lively since the day it was established.

Since the stock market boom, the flow of people here has become more and more dense. Because real money is not easy to clear and deliver in the stock market, speculators probably only use silver banknotes. In order to catch up with this big ship of fortune, people who come here every day to exchange money for money have to line up on the streets.

In order to maintain public order in the Houzaimun area, Huayang County specially borrowed a gatehouse in the head office of Huitong Qianzhuang and hung a wooden sign of "Huayang County Police". Later, according to the research of historical experts, this police shop was the first police shop in Shu and even in the Ming Dynasty.

The spontaneously formed stock trading place in the back street of Longwang Temple is even more lively.

It is crowded with people and has become a sacred place in the hearts of many people who aspire to get rich overnight.

People from all over Shu abandoned their past identities and beliefs and threw themselves into this strange but frenetic gamble.

A wooden table is set up along the street, and it is an exchange. The big speculator puts the sign with the stock on the table, and always counts a pile of silver bills in his hand, indicating his identity as a banker.

Many more people don't have tables, no stalls. They linger here from morning to night with envy and unwillingness, just to test their luck or explore the way to make a fortune.

There are people who make a small fortune from the corner of the street to the end of the street; There are also people who walk from the end of the street to the corner of the street and leave the house.

However, there are people who are in the middle of it, but they are not participating in this zero-sum game of buying and selling. With the help of this treasure land, which could produce gold and silver, they made a fortune in a different way.

There are teahouses everywhere in Chengdu Prefecture, and the back street of Longwangmiao is no exception.

At the intersection of the back street and the front street, there is a very small tea shop facing the street, so small that there is no trade size, so small that there is no fixed tea house.

A couple of siblings who were exiled to Chengdu from Zhongjiang County a few years ago: Jia Sufen and Jia Degui, started their legendary lives here.

The siblings, who used to work as domestic workers in the neighborhood, keenly noticed that people in and out of the street could simply be divided into two types: one that made money and one that didn't.

Those who have made money have made a lot of money, and they are sweating with excitement; People who don't make money are in dire need of information, and their lips are dry with anxiety.

Heck, that's exactly the place to sell tea!

Jia Sufen and Jia Degui's sister and brother slapped their thighs and them!

They took out the sweat money they had worked hard to accumulate over the past few years and rented this small shop in a hurry. On the sidewalk on the side of the street, there were seven or eight simple and crude tea benches.

Jia Sufen boiled tea on the water, and Jia Degui greeted and entertained. A bowl of tea in a tea house sold for a full twenty wen, and it was full from morning to night. During the peak hours of morning and afternoon trading, many people who do not have seats also gather here to exchange ideas.

The customers who stay here, even if they don't order tea, can't let it go in vain!

So the two siblings quickly developed a new business for these huge number of low-end users: big bowl tea.

A bamboo bowl without a seat for tea is only charged one copper coin.

The flow of people inevitably leads to the flow of information. The financial section of the Fuxing newspaper discovered the wonders of this place and set up a permanent interview and sales point here.

The flow of information in turn promotes the expansion of people's thinking. The two sisters and brothers have become an authoritative stock critic in the back street of the Dragon King Temple in just a few months.

There are more and more inputs, and the money is coming faster and faster.

In the dead of night, Huitong Qian Zhuang provided a door-to-door service to the Jia siblings. It is said that the copper coins hidden in the tea shop almost crushed the carriage carrying the money!

……

However, hilarious is not the same as hilarious.

The academy, which is supposed to be a pure place, has also been bustling recently.

Located in the south of Chengdu, the Wenweng Stone Chamber is almost on the same east-west level as the Nandu Temple (Note 1), the Temple of the Six Sages (Note 2), the Wenchang Palace, the Chenghuang Temple, the Sichuan Gongyuan and the Fengning Cang, the grain reserve center of the Sichuan Domain.

There is a cloud in Shu language: "Li Bing controls the water, and Wen Weng turns Shu".

Wen Weng Stone Chamber, a academy founded by Wen Weng, the county shou of Shu County in the Han Dynasty, is the longest and uninterrupted academy in China that has never been relocated. It created the style of study and literature in Shu and was the founder of Shu studies for thousands of years. Therefore, this horizontal line is the cultural landscape of Chengdu and even the entire Shu region.

It's a pity that this cultural landscape has recently gone bad and has become a cultural landscape. And the Wen Weng stone room, where literati gathered, became the center of the fermentation of unstable factors.

The front yard of the Wen Weng Stone Room is a spacious courtyard decorated with a large hall, a side hall, a canal, a square, a torii, a stone monument, and green trees and flowers. But today, many students have come to the courtyard at once, making this courtyard very crowded.

In the middle of the courtyard, a sweaty talent jumped onto the three-foot-high podium in full view of everyone. The podium shook under the impact of gravity, causing the people below to feel their hearts ache.

But that Xiucai has clearly practiced acrobatics. I saw him dangling on the lectern with one foot, and a golden rooster came first, and then he fixed the plate and stabilized his figure.

As the beginning of the speech, Na Xiucai pulled the sleeve tube of the green cloth cotton robe decorated with patches, and then spread his five fingers, stretched out his arms, and swept the world at the ordinary people below.

It's just that this classic and powerful gesture was halfway through, when it suddenly rebounded and stopped awkwardly in mid-air.

It turned out that because there were too many patches on the sleeve, his arm was dragged by the sleeve, which had been severely narrowed.

In the laughter of the audience, a scholar dressed in bright women's clothes asked in a strange voice: "Li Jiande, your mother still wears a cotton robe on a hot day!" Where's your wealth? Did you lose all your belongings in the stock market? ”

"Definitely! This show is a family heirloom, and will never speculate in stocks! Li Jiande blushed and retorted with hatred.

In order to get rid of the embarrassment, Li Jiande struggled to pull the sleeve so that the two upper limbs could move freely. It's just that he was impulsive, and the gauze robe was too unbearable. I only heard a crisp sound of "squeak", and the sleeve tube of the right arm was cracked longitudinally, hanging under the ribs and becoming a shaking cloud.

Li Jiande had no choice but to untie his clothes on the stage and perform a live wide clothes.

The laughter from below was louder. Another voice sarcastically said: "Li Jiande, you have lost your ancestral business, and you have fallen into the field where you have copied and written and still had bad debts, what kind of face do you have to put on the stinky shelf of Huayang's three talents?" Get down as soon as possible, let me wait to hear what the four young men in Chengdu have to say! ”

Seeing that the platform under his feet was not safe, Li Jiande couldn't help but be angry. He threw the tattered green robe into the audience, then clenched his five fingers, popped out his flexible arm, and threw a heavy punch at the sky, and loudly countered the noise of the audience:

"Yes, Ben Xiucai's ancestral business has been lost! Not only that, Ben Xiucai still owes a bad debt that he can't pay off in eight lifetimes! As long as Ben Xiucai earns the money to buy new clothes, there will be demons in the palace who come up to rob them, saying that those who do not repay their debts must not spend high! ”

"The palace is really too deceitful!"

Someone shouted encouragement, and Li Jiande immediately regained the feeling he had back then:

"Yes, Ben Xiucai's ancestral business has been lost! However, Ben Xiucai asked you: Ben Xiucai lost his ancestral industry, is it a loss of morality? Is it a vice? Is it a violation of the law of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"What is immorality to argue with the lowly servants of the palace?"

"The evil slaves of the palace are domineering, and the officials of the palace are colluding!"

"We stand up for the saints and educate all directions for the saints, we can't say anything, we can't fight for anything!"

"Now it's Brother Kong Fang who is on top and Uncle Yin is in charge! The government is going to get rid of all these reading seeds that I am waiting for! ”

"This autumn, I heard that the subjects should be divided into arts and sciences. In addition to the subset of classics and history, the liberal arts also need to add history and law; What physics and chemistry are added to science...... By the way, there is also the ...... of business and finance"

"In addition to the liberal arts and sciences, there are also public classes! Nature, Mathematics and Politics are all compulsory in each subject! The Shiwen shop on the street has already produced teaching materials...... Ben Xiucai ordered the little guy to buy it yesterday, and it was sold out! Damn, those Zhao Qian and Sun Li are moving faster than I wait! ”

"Doesn't this equate Qiu Yu with that Shu Kao?"

"I didn't expect that the grand event of the imperial court would become a ...... for the pair of dog men and women to teach crooked reasoning and heresies"

"Who can bear it, who can't bear it!"

The people in the audience, some are angry, some shake their heads and sigh; Some are stunned, and some are ready to fight.

Li Jiande was condescending and saw all this in his eyes. However, succeeding in arousing the sympathy of public opinion was not his fundamental purpose at all.

"Autumn is a laurel, you are still dreaming of the spring and autumn season!"

Li Jiande's two sharp finger swords poked the hearts of the people in the audience again and again.

"What the Shu Wangfu wants, not your fame! What the Shu Wangfu wants is a beautiful wife and concubine in the good field mansion of your family!

Don't you see the misery of us?

The three dignified talents, not to mention being bullied by the evil slaves of the palace, were scolded by Wu Jishan as something inferior to pigs and dogs.

What a shame!

Ben Xiucai is telling you:

If you don't reorganize and fight hard, this Xiucai's today is your tomorrow!

Either you will join the palace and become servants or slaves, and your children and grandchildren will be lowly forever;

Either he was conscripted into the Protector Army, and he was in the company of those Qiu Ba, and he was killed by thieves and eaten!

In short, you and other thousands of family wealth, sooner or later, will be occupied by the king's mansion. At that time, you will wait for this group of proud sons of the sky, eat, drink urine, and watch your beautiful wives and concubines rejoice under the crotches of those evil slaves in the palace! ”

"Fuck you! Li Jiande, your dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! ”

Some people were scolded so much that their eyes were spewing fire, and they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to rush up and beat Li Jiande.

But Li Jiande is worthy of the reputation of Huayang's three talents. He was not afraid of danger, and his two sharp finger swords fiercely forced those classmates who wanted to commit violence, and froze them in place.

"This is the autumn of life and death! Wait, wake up quickly! Li Jiande, one of the three talented sons of Huayang, ended his speech with a deafening aphorism, and jumped off the podium in his underwear.

"I want to get a bus to read books and carry signs to parade through the streets!"

Wang Xiangzheng, the second of the three talents of Huayang, lost no time in occupying the podium and shouted loudly with his fists raised.

"It is necessary to spread the post widely and expose the truth about the evil government of the palace!"

Zhang Buyao, the third of the three talents of Huayang, hurriedly slapped his face at the bottom.

"Don't forget the little prince of the palace and his mother-in-law!" An eerie voice suddenly rose in the corner of the crowd, "Today I want everyone to see: Ben Xiucai was arrested by the royal mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve, what did they do!" ”

"Su Guansi of the Imperial City Dam!" A student who knew him suddenly exclaimed, "Didn't the government post a list saying that you died and threw yourself into the evolution field?" ”
