Chapter 173

"What do you think of this hospice?"

In the old house of the Huang family in the south of the city, Yang Shangjing walked with a group of village sages, his face was full of divine brilliance, loving and benevolent, like the most compassionate Heavenly Father, preaching his own teachings.

A group of villagers looked at this nursing home, and felt that their hearts were dripping blood, and a small part of it was because of the destruction of the owner of this house, and they rushed to a little bit of rabbit death and fox sorrow; The rest seemed to see the money and food that they were forced to donate, in short, it was very painful.

Then Yang Shangjing sprinkled a handful of salt noodles from the Changlu Salt Field on their wounds: "If it weren't for the help of all the village sages, even if the county had a heart, it would be powerless." ”

This Nima ...... A group of village sages listened to Yang Shangjing's pretending tone, looked at his indifferent expression, and wanted to rush up to kill him in an instant and eliminate harm for the people, but looking at the archers of the inspection department who followed him, they were still cowardly, these original hermits even cut down the widows, and they asked themselves that their necks were not as hard as the armor of the widows, so they should be cowardly, and they should be patted on the back.

I heard Zhang Yi'an, the eldest son of the Zhang family, smile and said: "The county respects benevolence, so that the widows, widows, lonely and sick people in this county can be supported. ”

After all, if the Zhang family didn't grit their teeth and knelt too fast, so that Yang Shangjing grabbed the handle, their group of townsmen would not be so passive, they donated money and food, and even the tea house was unlucky, and then Yang Shangjing, the county order, had not yet appreciated it.

However, the Zhang family can't beat Yang Shangjing, but there are also people outside who are officials, and it's no problem to beat them, so they still have to be ninjas, so the two of them had happy smiles on their faces, and they began to follow the sycophants, and for a while, compliments such as "county respect for wisdom" and "county respect for benevolence" were endless.

Yang Shangjing nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and smiled: "We are all people who read the books of sages, and what we are talking about is 'establishing a life for the people and opening peace for all generations'. ”

Then these townsmen were shameless and slapping horses, what "high wind and bright festival", what "bowing and doing their best", the outstanding literary talent makes people extremely numb, Yang Shangjing estimated that these townsmen really want him to "die".

After all, Yang Shangjing took the villagers here to see the almshouse, not to find out if there was a heavy taste in the sages, but to press these townsmen to the ground and rub them, and rub them vigorously, so that they spit out some "ill-gotten gains", so he sighed and said leisurely: "The holy master once said that 'old age has an end', and this county deeply thinks so, so it builds this sanatorium......;

As he spoke, Yang Shangjing had been observing the faces of the villagers, and sure enough, when he mentioned the words "education without class", all the villagers present had their faces changed, and their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.

Knowledge changes destiny. Knowledge is power.

These two sentences are definitely not just slogans, but real truths that can no longer be real.

Monopolizing administrative power through monopolizing knowledge, and then setting up privileges, such as "those with meritorious names are exempt from paying taxes", monopolizing the land, and even further monopolizing knowledge, holding power and money in their hands, such as the inspection system, the expropriation system, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, such as the terms and conditions in the imperial examination system, blocking the upward channel at the bottom, and blocking the businessmen and others from the door of power.

If you have the right, you will naturally have money, and then you will naturally have people, and then you can formulate a system, and with the guarantee of the system, exploitation is a reasonable and legal existence. From the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the real emperor who was born with mud legs is also a Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of this dynasty, Liu Bang is the kind of goods who don't read, he was also a pavilion chief before the incident, and his wife is also a big family, otherwise why should a group of famous families and noble bloodlines accompany you to play with a mud leg?

As for business...... The mud legs who don't know anything can only carry the burden to be a merchant, how many items can there be a day? Earn a few dozen pennies, pour blood mold and meet a ruffian, and have to pay a protection fee, the real money, you have to know how to settle accounts, you look at the income of senior accountants in the 21st century, you know the value of this kind of talent.

So when I heard that Yang Shangjing wanted to play "education without class", open a school widely, and let a group of mud-legged people have the opportunity to receive education, it is conceivable why the faces of these villagers are like this, a group of mud-legged people and themselves to grab money, can this be endured?

Then Yang Shangjing slowly dropped another bomb: "The day before yesterday, Chen Zhangyi in the ceremonial room mentioned to the county that although it is not a great line of education in the county now, there are also so many people who can read and write, and there are still many people who can study for the imperial examination, and they can just come to teach literacy to the villagers, so as to demonstrate the benevolence of the holy teacher." ”

The old head of the Chen family who gave him the tea garden was trembling, and almost knelt down directly, without him, Liu Zhangyi in the ceremonial room was a member of his family, so that the sages must think that their family is flattering, and take out the interests of the landlords and scholars in the county to Yang Shangjing, and they will not play with him, their Chen family is a midstream family in the county, and the Zhang family is 108,000 miles away, and they are isolated...... That's a dead end.

Sure enough, a group of village sages stared at him with murderous eyes, and at the same time dealt with Yang Shangjing in silence, even the earliest Zhang family who knelt did not dare to open their mouths to respond, this is no longer a matter of compromise, once Huangyan County began to teach the fools of Qianshou to read, what did the county next to them think? Do you want to play with them? When the time comes, all kinds of pressures will come, Yang Shangjing can be said to be "the townsman mentioned, and the boat was pushed down the river", and he stayed out of the matter, and he may have to make a note in the history books, they are a group of townsmen...... Let's go for the dead ball.

The distance between righteousness and actual interests cannot be calculated.

Of course, Yang Shangjing knew about this problem, and his mention of Chen Zhangyi was just a means to divide the villagers, and he couldn't let the villagers form a community of interests under his high pressure, so that they would be suspicious of each other, which was the right way to ensure that his absolute authority was not undermined, so he smiled, changed his words, and said: "However, this county feels that it is still too early to promote education at this time, after all, ...... The county is far from being able to live and work in peace! ”
