Trials are a time-consuming and laborious matter in any era, especially under the conditions of antiquity, and even more protracted. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is also the reason why ordinary people are reluctant to go to court, because just the cost of time will completely drag down a family, not to mention the ubiquitous eating and taking buckles.

For Wen's interrogation work, it was originally very simple, Zhao Lao Er just planned to hold Wen accountable for the crime of dereliction of duty, but Wang Bingchen, these civil officials, wanted to get rid of Wen's trouble once and for all, so that the charges also increased significantly.

However, it is impossible to fully implement these charges in a short period of time.

Who knew that during the first interrogation, the presiding judge was vomited three liters of blood in anger, and seven days have passed, and Wang Bingchen is still recuperating in bed.

In no way, Zan Jurun and Wu Tingzuo had no choice but to take over the work of interrogation, a small trial in three days, a major trial in five days, and all the civil officials worked together to offer suggestions, but in the end they worked hard and in vain.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

Wen's method of dealing with interrogation can be described as simple and crude, and non-violent non-cooperation has evolved into a violent and all-military practice.

Just as the civil officials were full of sorrow, brainstorming again, and preparing to find a new breakthrough, Wen was roaming on a tender cucumber in the greenhouse in Guanlou Village.

"Lao Zheng, this cucumber is good, don't you want to taste one? You know, in this season, cucumbers are a rare vegetable, and if you don't hurry up and eat one, you will have to send them all to Baihualou. Hearing that Zheng Zhutou was frowning there, he accosted.

Zheng Zhutou smiled bitterly and said: "My good lord, you are still in the mood to eat cucumbers, and those civil officials who killed a thousand knives are going to eat you." ”

Wen Hehe said: "I'm afraid they don't have such a good appetite!" There is a way that is delicious and indigestible, and I will make them pay the price, sir. ”

“........”

For Wen this kind of optimism, Zheng Zhutou really has no way to describe it, when is it now, and there is leisure to think about revenge in the future, whether this level in front of him can be passed, there are still two words.

This is also not in a hurry, now the family has moved to Guanlou Village, and the whole family is counting on the smell of life, once the smell is missing, the whole family will suffer.

"Hey......." Zheng Zhutou sighed deeply, looking extremely helpless.

Seeing that Zheng Zhutou was depressed, Wen was relieved: "Old Zheng, sir, I will tell you the truth, you just put your heart in your stomach and promise to be fine." ”

Although Zheng Zhutou saw and heard that he was serious, he still shook his head slightly and said: "Sir, if you don't make it clear, Lao Zheng, I really don't have a bottom in my heart." ”

Wen sighed softly and said: "There are some things that should not have been told to you, but you have always been so sad, and it has been almost half a month." This has seriously affected my appetite, sir! Today, I will leave the words here, Lao Zheng, don't worry, it's absolutely fine. ”

Zheng Zhutou now wants to strangle Wen, and he originally told the truth, but after a long time, he still didn't say anything.

Zheng Zhutou was nervous in his heart at the moment, because Wen Jiang Wang Bingchen's vomiting of blood had offended the entire civil official group, coupled with the recent interrogation, Wen was in the public court at every turn, and staged an all-military act, which made the civil officials lose face.

If you want to say who the civil officials hate the most now, it is simply unheard.

If all the generals are interrogated in the future, and all the generals deal with the interrogation according to this example, will the civilian officials still be able to reprimand Fang Xuan in the future?

From the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the status of civil officials is getting lower and lower, and military generals can claim the king and hegemony at any time. Only civil servants are treated like dogs, and in the long run, civil servants will completely lose their rightful status.

Zheng Zhutou stared at Wen with resentful eyes, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Wen said helplessly: "I'm afraid of you, let me tell you the truth, the reason why the civil officials don't want to let me go this time is not because of any other reason, but because of movable type printing." ”

"Movable type?" Zheng Zhutou wondered.

Wen sighed and said, "Yes, I have just figured it out from these interrogations." ”

"Why, what a good thing movable type printing is! The original engraving printing was time-consuming and laborious, and it took a year for the positive printing to produce a set of books, even if the negative printing was faster, it would take half a year. Zheng Zhutou wondered.

Wen smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because it is a good thing that it is hated by others." Lao Zheng, you think, because of the scarcity of books, doing knowledge is the exclusive property of wealthy families, but now because of the emergence of movable type printing, the printing cost of books has been greatly reduced, and the poor will also have the opportunity to read books, so that there are more competitors of wealthy families, can they not be in a hurry? ”

According to the current printing technology, the price of printing a set of yang edition books, that is almost a sky-high price, is the imperial court, where the manpower and material resources are incomparably rich, within a year, at most a few sets of yang edition books of about 1,000 words, plus more than a dozen sets of yin edition books, this is already all the productivity.

The reason why borrowing books and copying books in ancient times was very popular was because the printing level was extremely backward, which led to the emergence of many manuscript books that have been handed down today, many of which are handwritten by many people.

"But sir, I still don't understand? What kind of competition is this, don't they shout all day long that they want to teach the world? Zheng Zhutou wondered.

Wen Wei snorted: "Teach the world? They are just shouting, these moths will not give up their vested interests in vain, once they really teach the world, their advantages will completely cease to exist. ”

"Advantage?" Zheng Zhutou said slightly puzzled.

"Nowadays, students, if they want to read, read, and study, they have to go to the homes of wealthy families to borrow books, and many books are unique books, not among the big families, there will definitely be no collections, don't you know this?" Wen Wei snorted.

Zheng Zhutou sighed with emotion: "Sir, what you said is right. At that time, it was because my father in the family suffered a big loss of illiteracy that I planned to choose a clever one from among our brothers for him to study and become an official.

It's a pity that there are no books to read!

The gentleman in the private school only teaches some of the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is okay to be literate, but if you want to be an official, it is difficult! The imperial court selects scholars, and there is no chance at all for this book content.

Later, there was really no way, so my father used the money he was going to give me to study, and got me an errand as a servant in the county government.

But what does this have to do with movable type printing? Zheng Zhutou sighed, and finally wondered.

Wen snorted lightly: "The relationship is big, with this technology, the cost of books in the future will be infinitely reduced, and books will be spread all over the world." Lao Zheng, tell me about the collection of those wealthy families, can they still be valuable?

If they can't monopolize books, they can't monopolize learning, they can't monopolize learning, they can't monopolize official positions.

You say, can they not be in a hurry? ”

Bi Sheng, the saint who first invented movable type printing, is not an exaggeration to say that he is a saint, and it is because of this technology that he was falsely imprisoned by those wealthy families, sent to hell on earth like Salmon Island, and finally starved to death.

Zheng Zhutou was surprised: "What does the lord mean is that those wealthy families want to harm you?" ”

"yes." Wen sighed lightly.

"Sir, how is this good?" When Zheng Zhutou heard Wen's confirmation, his heart became even more sad, which offended not only the civil officials, but also the supporters behind them.

"Kill them." Smell the right way.

"Sir, you must know that the first generation of Holy Emperor Tang Taizong also thinks so, and in the end, it is not a failure." Zheng Zhutou said with a bitter face.

Wen said angrily: "Lao Zheng, what do you mean?" Li Er failed, but didn't Wu Meiniang succeed? You mean, sir, I'm not as good as a. ”

"But they finally came back to life!" Zheng Zhutou continued to strike.

“......... Lao Zheng, if you don't tell the truth, you can die! You can die! Sniff roared. (To be continued.) )
