The Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

"The text carries the Tao, and if the text is not written well, what is the Tao to talk about?"

A soldier stood up and shouted.

"Yes, you have to take the art test, no matter which subject is for the country, it is to govern the people, and you can't even write an article How to govern the people? What is the use of literacy and arithmetic? The art of making is the culmination of all texts, and everything is written after the eight-strand essay is written, and it is simply ridiculous that the eight-strand essay is not examined in the imperial examination. If you can't write well, you can't compare to a liberal arts scholar, but you must be able to write, and you must write smoothly, otherwise wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to be an official? ”

Another representative of the scholars also stood up and shouted.

All the scholars agreed.

"Then what other people are selected for each imperial examination? Just let you show your talented master to take the test! ”

A merchant representative sneered.

"What are you talking about? The imperial court changed the imperial examination to benefit the four people, not for us! ”

Another representative of the scholars stood up and said.

"If you want to take the Bagu Wen test, we also have to take the Farming test for the liberal arts! Since it is for the four people, then we can't just listen to you, we also have to make a request, you must take the Baguwen in each subject, then we must test what we know in each subject, this is really fair! ”

A farmer representative said.

"Then you don't need to divide the subjects, just take the five subjects together, do the five papers together, all have the same highest score, and finally take the total score, so as to save money for the court!"

A representative of craftsmen said with a smile.

Then except for those scholar representatives, the others laughed, and it was obvious that according to this test method, the poor talents were almost all useless. It is said that after staying in Nanjing for more than half a year, the vast majority of the representatives of the four people have lost their original purity, after all, this city is comparable to a dye vat, and a high school student entering college for half a year is enough to be reborn. Even in the eyes of those peasant representatives from poor and remote areas, the talented old men were nothing worthy of respect, and in fact, after understanding the essence of the latter, they were full of contempt for the scholars.

"Mess around!"

A scholar said disdainfully.

"Then you're not messing around?"

A merchant representative said: "It's right that you want all other subjects to take the Baguwen that you understand, and we want all other subjects to test what we understand is nonsense?" Your mouths are so big! Let your family say it, and we are not stupid, you must take the eight-strand essay test in each subject, so you are asking who can write that smoothly except for Zhong Xiucai? You're all learning this in the first place, so naturally it's no problem, which of us can write? If you want to take this test, you will drive away all the others who go to the test, and then you will take the test in all subjects, so dare you say that you are not messing around? ”

"How can you be an official if you can't write articles?"

The representative of the scholar said.

"If you can't write articles, you can't be an official? Then Emperor Taizu was illiterate at the beginning! Why wait to lead troops to fight the world? ”

A representative of craftsmen said.

"Taizu, Taizu is a genius of Tianzhong, could it be that those who take the exam are also geniuses of Tianzhong? You compare these people to Taizu, what are your intentions? ”

Shizi represents a counterattack.

"I just said that if you can't write Baguwen, you don't necessarily can't be an official!"

The craftsman's representative hurriedly said.

"Then please read this official document and explain the meaning of it!"

The representative of the scholar took out an official document and said with a sneer.

"Who can read these things of you?"

The peasant representative blushed and said with a thick neck.

"If you don't learn no skills, you don't learn no skills, don't think that you can read and write, my ten-year-old children can still read and write poems! But you can't even read a single official document, and if you are asked to govern the people, won't you starve all over the wilderness? ”

Representative Shizi sneered.

"I can build canals, I can select seeds, I can compost, I know how to increase grain production, why can't I let the people under my rule not have enough to eat?"

said the farmer's representative.

"Then you understand this official document!"

The representative of the scholar said.

"I ......"

The peasant deputies were speechless.

He really can't read it, the official documents written by these guys are usually quoted from the classics, plus for the sake of gorgeous rhetoric and easy to shirk responsibility, they are all covered with clouds and mountains, and they can't understand simply literacy.

"What if you can't read official documents? It's a big deal to find someone who understands it, and if you can't read it, you can learn it, not to mention that Emperor Taizu advocated that official documents should be as vernacular as possible, and even the holy decree was in the vernacular, but I think Taizu did the right thing. In the future, this official document should be as simple as possible, no rhetoric, no dictionaries, since it is an official document, it must be understood by the common people, and this is not a fuss, what is the use of the official document that the common people can't understand. ”

Said a representative of a businessman.

In fact, among the representatives of agriculture and industry, the main force is the representatives of merchants, but these representatives of merchants are not wealthy families like salt merchants, and the vast majority of them are actually small merchants. They were slightly better educated than the peasants and craftsmen, and they were more open-minded and eloquent these days, and likewise they were more disdainful of the poor, for these useless fellows were not worthy of respect in their eyes.

"Do you want to make a word into the law and change the pen of the world?"

Representative Shizi sneered.

"Since Emperor Taizu can write a vernacular holy decree, why can't you write a vernacular official document?"

said the farmer's representative.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this stylistic discussion can be discussed separately."

A representative of the scholars hurriedly reminded that there was a bit of a crooked building now.

"You used official documents to embarrass us first!"

The merchant said with a sneer.

"Putting aside this official document, why do we require all subjects to be tested for the arts, the key is that the most important thing for officials is morality, and those who write well in the arts are full of the books of sages, understand the righteousness, and have noble morals enough to be worthy of their positions......"

The representative of the scholar said.

"Those corrupt officials are all Jinshi! Xiong Wenju is not more knowledgeable than you? ”

The merchant representative scoffed.

Then the representatives of agriculture and industry laughed.

The face of the representative of the scholar turned red instantly, and I have to say that it is useless to study well, no matter how full they study and then export the chapters, they can't do the poisonous tongue of the market vendors, he just wants to talk about what morality is unbearable, and as a result, the family is blocked by a word. Xiong Wenju was born as a scholar, and he was arrested for corruption and bribery, and you are a broken show to blow a fart here, as if we really don't know what kind of goods those well-educated officials are, no matter how much you read the Four Books and Five Classics, shouldn't you be greedy?

"Xiong, Xiong Wenju is just an example!"

Shizi represents struggle.

"For example, the number of Jinshi in the Jinyi Guard Prison can't be counted by one, right?"

The representative of the merchant said with disdain.

"Humph!"

The representative of the scholar snorted coldly and sat down.

He disdained to debate with these uneducated people.

"I have read the books of the sages! There are a bunch of people in the traitors in the north who are full of books of sages, so Chen Mingxia is still Tanhua! The result is not the same, and the thief is the father? It can be seen that this character has little to do with how many books you read, and even if it is your sage, then Zhu Xi is not the same as the rumor that he has the name of picking up ashes? ”

A representative of craftsmen said.

This sentence was more ruthless, and the representative of the scholar on the opposite side immediately blew up the nest.

"You dare to slander Zhuzi!"

"It's just a big rebellion!"

……

A group of scholar representatives stood up one after another, pointing at the craftsman representative and angrily reprimanding.

"I didn't make it up, I read it in the newspaper, you have the ability to find the newspaper, and according to the newspaper, this is still the Song Dynasty Imperial History impeached him, if you want to find it, you have to find the Imperial History, Zhu Xi himself has not cleared the suspicion, what qualifications do you have to accuse me?"

The artisan representative continued to stimulate them.

It is said that in recent years, the Daming newspaper industry has developed, and all kinds of celebrity anecdotes have indeed been rampant, and the gray man is also very valued as a sage, and his anecdotes have long been picked up by the tabloids. It is more likely that the matter of picking up ashes is made up, after all, it is still too sensational, in fact, the earliest incident was made up by those tabloids in the Song Dynasty. And the tabloids of the Song Dynasty dared to imitate Cai Jing and forged a letter of apology saying that he was a traitor, forcing Cai Jing to stand up in person to refute the rumors, so it is indeed very possible to fabricate a rumor about Zhu Xi's dusting. But if he was impeached by an imperial historian who had a grudge against Zhu Xi, unless the person concerned came back to life, at least it would be difficult for future generations to really clear him.

But to say it at this moment would be pure provocation.

This is equivalent to picking up the ancestral graves of these scholars, scolding people and not revealing their shortcomings, and beating people without slapping their faces, Cheng Zhu Lixue is the foundation of the Bagu Wen, and all the Bagu Wenxiu talents are regarded as the ancestors.

"Moral decay! I'm at odds with you, a thief! ”

A scholar shouted in mournful delegates.

He then picked up his boot and smashed it at the craftsman's representative, but his accuracy was so poor that it hit the head of a peasant representative in the second row behind. The peasant deputies were so gifted in language that they didn't know much about what they were arguing about. After all, it is still difficult to fully learn a language other than his native dialect in less than a year, especially if he is not good at words, and as a result, he was listening to a big head when he suddenly received a boot.

"What did you do to beat me!"

He stood up and shouted angrily.

His dialect is still very heavy, and the scholar representative didn't understand anything else, but he understood the word poor sour, which was the title they hated the most.

"You rammer!"

He pointed to the peasant representative and shouted.

The peasant representative immediately quit, picked up the boot and smashed it back, his precision was high, and he smashed the scholar representative in the face, and the blood in the latter's nose immediately flowed out, and the surrounding scholar representatives shouted angrily, and then more boots flew towards the peasant representative. There were also more people who were injured by mistake, including the representative of the craftsman who caused the conflict, more boots and the like also flew towards the representative of the scholar, and a representative of the merchant estimated that he was not full, so he brought a bag of salted duck, and directly took it out and smashed it at a representative of the scholar who he had long been displeased with......

There was a scuffle in the Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

Many representatives of the four peoples who did not like each other took the opportunity to throw things at each other, while others dissuaded, watched, and cheered, and the scene developed more and more towards a certain island.
