Chapter 133: The Fall of Jiaozhou
Overnight, an important event occurred in the seventeen counties under Yangzhou's rule. A troop rushed directly into the government office, took two documents issued by the Huiji Academy and the Assassin's Office, and found the newly appointed county commander (chief) or county officer.
"Expulsion!?" Zhang Sheng, who had just served as the county magistrate for a few months, looked at the man in front of him incredulously.
"Your incident has happened! This is a document issued by the county guard and approved by the Yangzhou Assassin Mansion, from now on, you are no longer the magistrate of Zhang'an County, and we will arrest you at the same time! Because of your behavior, after the review of the Huiji Academy, you will also be officially expelled from the school, and you will not be a graduate of the Huiji Academy from now on! The man in black was the captain of the dark guard, and he handed Zhang Sheng the score.
"Why do you ......" Zhang Sheng looked at these two documents in disbelief, he wanted to refute a few words, and even said "My dean is not engaged in Yangzhou", but after seeing the two documents, he suddenly became depressed.
In the first dismissal approval, he almost listed the actual evidence that he accepted bribes, concealed land conditions, and even helped local wealthy families suppress the Yue people here in Zhang'an County. He had nothing to say in front of these data.
"Your dean is disappointed, he has cultivated you for so many years, and you repay him like this! There is nothing going on on with the children of the family, anyway, there is a problem with you, and now someone has proposed that in the future, the Huiji Academy will no longer recruit the children of the poor family, and those poor scholars in the Huiji Academy will be in an embarrassing situation now, do you know? That's all I have to say, you can come with us! After the man in black finished speaking, the subordinates around him quickly controlled Zhang Sheng.
"Is there anything you want me to bring back?" The man in black asked.
Zhang Sheng...... Ashamed of the dean's cultivation ...... "At this point, all the glory and wealth have become a thing of the past." Zhang Sheng seemed to have an epiphany, then lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Even so, the mistakes he made will not be washed away by apologies.
A few days later, after a trial, the 17 county officials or county officials were all put on display, and their crimes and evidence of their corruption were made public. What is embarrassing is that in this group of people, there is not a single child of the family.
The poor man has no virtue! Such remarks began to spread, and Li Ming didn't even need to investigate to know that those families were promoting the 'family-only theory'. If you don't leave it alone, those who are in high positions in the future will no longer have a cold family.
"Ill-intentioned!" Li Ming found Zhu Jun, and after the latter reprimanded him, he inevitably counted Li Ming down. Some of these poor families come from the Yue people.,There's a problem with sinicization itself.,And let them study directly.,The follow-up moral education is not done well.,In the end, the ability is learned.,But there is a problem with virtue.。
"Fortunately, it's not too late!" Zhu Jun paused, "You can set a little rule, for the Yue people and other naturalized ethnic groups, you must meet a certain standard to be eligible for school." This condition can be a factor such as paying taxes, or having parents serving in the military. Even if they have the qualifications to go to school, they must be educated separately, taught Chinese etiquette and writing, so that they know how to be grateful, and only after graduation can they enter the Huiji Academy.
For those poor scholars, you can also train for one to three years first, whether it is enlightenment or moral education, this cannot be forgotten. The officials cultivated in this way have at least a seventy percent probability, and they should know how to seize the opportunity to climb well, rather than patronizing the prosperity in front of them. The remaining thirty percent can only rely on the law to restrain it. ”
"Disciples are taught!" Li Ming gave up, and Zhu Jun's proposal was very meaningful.
Not long after, there was an additional courtyard outside the Huiji Academy, which was specially designed for scholars from poor families and Yueren students for a period of about one to three years of enlightenment and training. Guan Ning agreed to concurrently serve as the dean of the other institute, and Cai Yong would also give lectures to students.
Zhu Jun publicly criticized the behavior of the poor scholars and the children of the family who were mixed in the female dormitory of the casino. More than 30 students from families and poor families were punished with warnings, and three of them were placed on probation.
After this time, the study style of Huiji Academy has improved a lot, at least it is not so 'smoky miasma'.
Kan Ze and Pan Lin, as representatives of the Yue people and the Hanmen, were soon promoted as models. Kan Ze is erudite and well-informed, known for his hard work, and usually reads books; Pan Lin is a native of Yue, his father Pan Bao is currently serving as a lieutenant in Fujian County, he entered the army, although he is still a general, he is not complacent, and his daily training is overdone.
With these two cases, coupled with the bad news that the government deliberately suppressed it, the behavior of splashing dirty water on the Hanmen was finally curbed, but it also made Li Ming a little less confident in the group of Hanmen children in Huiji Academy.
At the same time, far away in Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, among the government offices of Panyu, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Xie was entertaining a special 'guest'. It's special because it's not a person at all, but a huge snake.
"Shixie, if your ancestors weren't taken care of by the South Yue Kingdom, they would just be ordinary broken households. After 400 years, can you really think that you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Jiao Snake looked at Shi Xie playfully, and actually spat out people's words.
"You can't represent the South Yue Kingdom, you are not even a descendant of the Zhao family!" Shi Xie snorted coldly and fought back directly.
"Haha, does this matter? Now I am the rightful king of Nanyue, and my identity can be exposed at any time. Do you think that if the emperor of the Han Dynasty knew that your ancestors were also remnants of Nanyue, what would he think of you? Besides, look at it, what is the situation in Jiaozhou now, Dahan has not sent anyone to help you until now, it seems that you have been abandoned! The snake said slowly, with a strong sense of demagogy in his tone.
"......" Shi Xie was silent, the imperial court had not responded, and the South Vietnamese State had already set up troops on the border and started a war at any time. Nowadays, many gentry and ancestors in Jiaozhou have a little to do with the South Yue Kingdom, and many people are wavering.
It can't be said that he supports it openly, but as long as he passively cooperates, it has made it difficult for him to cope with the current situation.
"Join the South Vietnamese Nation! I can give you eternal life, let us lay this world, and enjoy the prosperity of the world forever! Yes, and your brother! The snake raised its claws and patted it, and a small spirit beast-level python crawled in.
"Shi Yi!?" The python looked at Shi Xie very humanly, and Shi Xie quickly realized something.
The python couldn't speak, at least not humanly, so he could only nod.
"This is just a spirit beast-level python, and it can't be said in the mouth, but Shi Yi's soul is inside, and it will continue to cultivate in the future, and it may be possible to grow into an existence like me." Jiao Snake said slowly.
"Shi Yi, is it really you?" Shi Xie looked at the python in disbelief, and the latter only nodded, but finally stuck out his tail and wrote the word 'brother' on the ground.
"You see, I'm merciful, right?" Jiao Snake looked at Shi Xie with a smile, "Power, money, and even immortality!" Shixie, what are you still here? ”
"Shixie...... Willing to submit! Shi Xie hesitated for a long time, and finally replied dejectedly, and the last four words almost drained all the strength of his body.
"You won't regret it!" Jiao Snake narrowed his eyes, at this moment, the entire Jiaozhou is equivalent to not fighting.
