There is also a lot of autumn rain in Changsha, the weather is still sunny in the morning, and it is cloudy at noon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a large mansion in the city, the incense is burning in the upper room, and the owner of the Confucian crown robe looks at the rain outside the door. When I stroked the long scroll, read a book and watched the scenery, and had all the feelings in my heart, I picked up the pen and wrote some words on the paper. The comfortable life that scholars dream of in this era is just like him.

A book, a painting, a person, a pot of tea, looking at the heavy rain outside the door, pedestrians in the market running to escape for a living, but scholars can improvise poems from afar by the railing, this is a picturesque beauty. Until a sudden chaotic footstep broke it all.

A few uninvited guests wearing hats and robes broke through the rain curtain and rushed through the beaded curtain and broke directly into the upper room. The scholar was not surprised, but looked down at their feet. Most of those people were barefoot, and the muddy water stretched from the feet to the calves, and they were filthy.

A few people entered the house, regardless of the disregard of taking off the hat and clothes and putting them on the mahogany Taishi chair, people sat on it at once, stretched out their hands to find tea, but grabbed a vacancy, and scolded: "What's the matter, I didn't even prepare tea, or it's not a person?" ”

"So you rich people have the worst thoughts, you drink Songfeng by yourself, but you are reluctant to give hot soup to the poor, if it weren't for Brother Zeng to teach us the truth and tell us how to resist, we would have been bullied by you for the rest of our lives."

The scholar didn't mind scolding back, "My Songfeng is for tasting, not for feeding cattle." Do you know how to taste tea? Don't spoil my tea, and if you're thirsty, go outside and drink rainwater! And next time remember to put on your shoes and come in barefoot, my wife will beat you to death! How's it going? ”

"Don't mention it, everyone has caught the brocade cell, we have nothing to do with each other, it's not easy to visit. Or just rob the prison. ”

"The key is that Liu Wu wants to tie up with the Zhang family and use the chicken feathers as arrows, the guards are very dead, and we don't even use sending silver in. Looking at his thoughts, it seems that he is going to make things bigger...... How did this happen, inexplicably, a few scholars let things get corrupted to such a point. ”

The scholar shook his head and said: "Gao Xiuqing prides himself on being wise, but he is actually a half-ass. He had read nothing more than one or two military books, and he couldn't talk about strategy at all. Originally, it didn't matter if it was a game to cheat a thousand or eight taels of silver, even if it was seen, it was just a slap in the eye, and it was not the same thing. But he wanted revenge...... This is nothing short of extraneous. Lao Song is the most responsible in this matter, if he hadn't contacted Zhu San, things wouldn't have been so bad. ”

"Don't blame Lao Song, you also know, how did his daughter die? If she hadn't committed suicide after being ruined by King Ji's son, she would have given birth to a son to Gao Xiuqing now. Lao Song has a daughter, since her death, Lao Song's whole person has been like this, if he hadn't thought about revenge, he would have gone down to accompany his daughter a long time ago. If you don't let him move, it's sadder than killing him. ”

"Zhu San is too, he has no name in his twenties, and his brothers treat him as his subordinate, and the woman he likes eventually becomes his sister-in-law...... His thoughts of revenge were deeper than those of Old Song. ”

"These people have entered the yamen, I don't know if they can live well?"

The scholar said: "Zhu San...... They shouldn't dare to fight, although Shopkeeper Song and Xiuqing don't know martial arts, but people's bones are very hard, even if Jinyi Wei tortures, they won't betray everyone, so there is no need to worry. What I'm worried about now is that those books ...... Originally, it was turned around in Chongren Bookstore, but now that it is in the hands of the government, it is very troublesome. ”

"Think of a way, you scholars, there is a way after all."

The scholar sighed and said: "You have too much misunderstanding of the reader, and you blame us for everything, and we are not immortals." This matter can be big or small, if it is a matter of the local yamen, it is easy to deal with, I am afraid that the Zhang family will bite it. Now we can only hope that the gods and Buddhas will bless them, they are just going through the motions, after all, there are so many books in the bookstore, and the banned books account for seventy percent. If they treat our books as general forbidden books, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that ......, everyone should be prepared for the worst and inform Brother Zeng that Changsha still doesn't come. Send a few more people to find out who broke our game this time and ruined our big business. We can admit it, this account will be settled. ”

The location of Chongren Bookstore belongs to the disputed area of Changsha, which can be regarded as both the land of the palace and the administration of the Yamen, which is the most normal state in the Ming Dynasty, and no one cares much. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was very lax in the management of books, although it seems that there are some regulations, but in practice they will not be implemented.

In the Ming Dynasty, the book was most interested, and it was those celebrities and eunuchs, such as Fan Jin's favorite embroidered portrait of the Water Margin, and the books that were really good were in the hands of the bureaucrats or celebrities, and the status of those people was higher than that of the officials in charge of the raid, and the book ban naturally could not be enforced.

Because they don't care much about books, this bookstore prints and sells books, but no one actually cares. If it weren't for Fan Jin's request and Zhang Sixiu's endorsement, Liu Wu didn't want to list Song Chongli, the shopkeeper of Song, as the target of the investigation. Even fraud is difficult to criminalize, and the most likely thing is to punish some money, and the matter is fooled. However, when Zhang Sixiu made a request and raised the nature of this case to a small sect murdering a large sect, Jin Yiwei could not fail to investigate, and when Jin Yiwei became serious, the problem was naturally investigated.

When Fan Jin arrived at the bookstore, the Zhang family brothers and sisters had already arrived. Liu Kanzhi was not present. The Ming Dynasty's banned books are actually a pocket, the standard is very wide, any book may be a banned book, from novels to scriptures, it may be a banned book. But at the same time, this pocket has no bottom, and banned books are only banned in name, and it is common for people to buy or read them. For example, the fact that the state-owned Baowentang Book Company printed the White Lotus Sect scriptures is no longer a secret.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty and even ordinary people, as long as they knew how to read, also took pleasure in reading forbidden books. This is probably people's rebellious psychology, the more they are not allowed to see anything, the more they want to see something, so they often buy thick coins. Chongren Bookstore, a bookstore that doesn't care about the place and the background of the palace, is simply sorry for itself if it doesn't sell banned books, once it is serious, it will naturally be like this.

And the banned book itself,It's also divided into several levels.,From the book called the forbidden book, everyone can actually read it.,To the highest-level anti-book.,It's divided into several levels.。 The reason why Liu Wu invited everyone here was that he found some very important forbidden books, which made the nature of the whole incident a little serious.

Liu Wu's face was quite embarrassed, and he pointed to the books in front of him and said, "We never thought that there were so many forbidden books hidden in this bookstore. It seems that what Fan Gongzi said is very reasonable, there are great drawbacks in this bookstore. In some of the goods that had not yet been sent out in boxes, military books were also found, which were sent to Xiangxi. ”

Military books were not considered forbidden reading materials in the Ming Dynasty, but sending them to Xiangxi was a problem. There are many toasts, thieves are rampant, barbarians and bandits are difficult to distinguish, and the situation is similar to that of Luoshanman in Guangdong. The way the Ming Dynasty treats these toasts is nothing more than a combination of grace and power, on the one hand, it uses things such as official positions to envelop it, and on the other hand, it implements a material embargo, especially when it comes to military materials, and the control is stricter.

Barbarians basically rely on instinct to fight, there is no organization, although people are fierce, but they are not difficult to deal with. With such a thing as the art of war, the barbarians must never be allowed to learn it, otherwise once the barbarians have an organization and learn tactics, the pressure on the officers and men will be greatly increased.

Chongren Bookstore has its own printing workshop, and is also responsible for exporting books, and because it is backed by the palace, no one will generally check him. This investigation actually found privately printed and sold military books, which made Liu Wu feel that the situation was not good. In addition, what is even worse than the military book is the real demon book, that is, the kind with the highest specification among the banned books: anti-books.

Several books called "Da Qian's Fortune" were placed in front of everyone, and Liu Wudao: "The lowly subordinates are all rough blanks, and they really can't understand this thing." The lowly Wenmo is also bad, and he doesn't seem to understand it, but he feels that there are a lot of unbearable words in it, and he hopes that the second son will see if this is a demon book. ”

Several people each picked up a book and flipped it casually, Fan Jin first quickly turned a few pages, and saw that there were no illustrations or welfare chapters in it, so he first gave a bad review in his heart. When I read the content carefully, I had a plan in my heart: it seems that this time I really hit the big board, and I had a casual fight in the bookstore, and I actually made a big mess.

It's really enough to be on the standard of banned books and demon books.,It's definitely not the kind of reading that Water Margin fan-like.,That thing found out is a fine at most.,If the quality is good.,You can also ask for a spare.,It won't be too much of a problem.。 The demon book that can really attract the attention of Jinyi generally has two elements, the first is the disaster in the current dynasty, and the second is the disaster for future generations, this "Great Dry Fortune" is of this nature.

The text of this book is not deep, and it can be understood by most of the small people. The content is first of all a summary of the disaster record, which records in detail the natural disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty from Jiajing to this time, as well as the resulting deaths and material damage data. You must know that the current officialdom is lazy, and the local officials do not have practical experience, so the work of disaster statistics is simply perfunctory. God knows where the author's data came from, but if it is true, it can be used as a reference for the government.

It's just that the following content is more terrible. In analyzing the causes of these disasters, the author of the book bluntly said: All natural disasters are due to the number of gases. The reason why there have been so many disasters in recent years is that the Ming Dynasty has exhausted its qi, and it inherited the fire virtue, and now the fire is exhausted, which is when the water virtue is prosperous and the fire virtue is extinguished. If the country does not make changes, there will be more disasters in the future, and another serious study is based on the fact that the appearance of water and virtue should be in Xiangxi......

This kind of writing, which does not give out benefits, but also engages in doomsday prophecy, and finally mixes doom and rebellion, in Fan Jin's opinion, it really has to be called a demon book. You must know that it is still an era of superstition, and the emperor and officials are also superstitious about the induction of heaven and man, saying that whether it is a flood or an earthquake, most of them will be blamed on traitors and misguided countries.

Due to the speed at which news spreads, most people only know about the disaster that has occurred in a certain village around them in their lives, and they are basically unaware of what is happening outside. As long as the luck is not too bad, and you can't experience a few natural disasters in your life, the malice of the imperial court is not deep.

But if there is such a book, which publishes the natural disasters of the country in the past 100 years and shows it in front of ordinary people, its shocking power can be known regardless of the question.

Even in Fan Jin's previous life, a movie called 2012 came out, which can scare some people into believing in the existence of the end of the world. In this backward and ignorant Ming Dynasty, the common people have little information, who can withstand this kind of strong indoctrination, and those who are slightly lacking in intelligence will most likely agree that the Ming Dynasty will be finished and the dynasty will be changed.

In the last part of this demon book, he also promoted the idea that the new dynasty would be better for the people than the Ming Dynasty. The rest is to exempt the land from grain, the rich and the poor, and eliminate the vassal kings of the world, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, no one can ride on the head of the people and suck blood, and other common slogans of rebels, although it is a big rebellion, but there is nothing new, and Fan Jin has no interest.

The girl was also putting down the book at this time, slapping it hard, and said a few words in her brother's ear, Zhang Sixiu nodded, and said to Liu Wu: "Liu Baihu, if you can't see that this kind of book is a banned book, I don't think you need to be on this errand!" You called us here because you thought that you were a petty official and did not dare to get involved in such a big thing. I'm going to say a few words to you, it's your duty to investigate the illegality as a Tiqi, no matter how big the case is, there is no reason to shirk and evade. Tell me, what are you going to do with this difference? That's right, I'll call the shots for you. ”

Liu Wu smiled, "If you go back to the second son, I think that there is only execution." The third son of the king of Longyang County is not easy to play, and those lettering wordsmiths and printers, as well as Song Chongli and Gao Xiuqing, can always play. The surname Gao is a showman, but with such a thing, the fame will naturally not be saved, and the fame will be changed and then calculated......"

The girl surnamed Zhang shook her head, "This is not appropriate." ”

Fan Jin also said: "This person even printed the anti-book, but I'm afraid that he can't be dealt with as an idle thief, and he needs to think of a way." Of course, the first step is to use the punishment, but if they refuse to recruit, they have to have a follow-up move. I have a way here, but this method has to take risks, and if it is not handled properly, it may lose my wife and lose my soldiers. ”

The girl looked at Fan Jin, "Brother Fan, you might as well write your thoughts, and the little sister also writes a way, let's compare them and see whose method is better?" ”

She said that she would do it, and immediately ordered someone to take the four treasures of the study and start writing, while Zhang Sixiu frowned and looked at the two, not knowing what to say. Zhang Maoxiu, the third brother who came with him, watched from behind, thinking to himself; Brother Liu is also a strategist, but he has to quarrel with his sister every time he meets, but he rarely has such a deed......
