Xia Wanchun paced to the edge of the newsstand, looked inside, and saw the latest newspaper, when he saw the news on the cover, his eyes suddenly burst out, and the person's movements became extremely fast, almost snatching the newspaper over.

In the past, his favorite thing to watch was the Nandu Weekend, but in recent years, it has gradually changed and become a people's livelihood bulletin. In his own words, if he looks at Nandu before the age of eighteen, it is a person who is not enthusiastic and vain, and if he does not look at Nandu after the age of eighteen, it is impossible for a person to live in his imagination forever.

The world is by no means black and white, sometimes it is gray, sometimes it is purple, but a single black versus a single white is hard to find.

Xia Wanchun remembered that this sentence should have been said by Yu Guozhen, who went to visit Yu Guozhen with his father that time, and Yu Guozhen had commented on Confucianism when he talked about it. From this evaluation, it can be seen that Yu Guozhen does not reject Confucianism outright, but he will never fully agree with it.

What attracted Xia Wanchun was the headline news in today's People's Livelihood Express.

"The son of the previous day, Chongzhen, arrived in Nanjing yesterday, and the commander Yu Gong personally went to the dock to greet him."

Xia Wanchun followed Xia Yunyi to Yicheng more than once, so he personally visited this Chongzhen Son of Heaven a few times, and on the whole, this Son of Heaven gave him a pretty good impression, elegant conversation, profound knowledge, and profound insights. Sometimes Xia Wanchun also has some regrets, if Chongzhen is given another chance, he will definitely be able to become a generation of famous monarchs. But in this era, it is enough to have Yu Guozhen, and there is no room for other generations of celebrities to play.

"I actually came to Jinling...... "Xia Wanchun bought a newspaper and didn't leave. Just by the newsstand and started looking.

The preparation of "Minsheng Express" is quite sufficient, so in addition to describing Chongzhen's arrival in Jinling, this article also deliberately leaves a page to show Chongzhen's life, including the content that he was rescued by the Huaxia army. This is also the first time that the Huaxia Army has publicly admitted that when Li Zicheng attacked the Beijing Division, they specially sent a team of men and horses to rescue Chongzhen.

It couldn't be more appropriate for this matter to be made public at this time. Those who want to use Yu Guozhen to replace the Zhu family to attack him and his subordinates must weigh it in the face of this situation. The people all have a rod in their hearts, and they naturally know that Yu Guozhen, who still mobilized troops to save Chongzhen under the siege of Li Chuang's army. Not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous people.

The newspaper also contains some accounts of Chongzhen's life in Yicheng over the years, such as his love for gardening and fishing, and his ability to ride a bicycle. He even wrote a manuscript called "The First Half of My Life". There are also interviews with Chongzhen himself, especially when he was in Shanghai after circling the East China Sea, commenting both on Huaxia's overseas territories and on Yu Guozhen himself.

Chongzhen's evaluation is very direct, with both praise and criticism, for example, in the criticism of Yu Guozhen, he said that he "occasionally has the kindness of a woman" and "tolerates people too much". As for "Confucianism is ugly, jumping the beam inside", Xia Wanchun knew at a glance that it was indeed what Chongzhen said. When he and his father visited Chongzhen, they heard him say similar things.

In addition to selling newspapers, the newsstand also sells some miscellaneous foods, snacks and the like. Business is good, just as Xia Wanchun was reading the newspaper, several Confucian people happened to pass by, and they were also very excited when they saw the newspaper, and each of them bought a copy.

Just glanced at it a few times, and some Confucian students scolded: "Yu Guozhen dog thief dares!" ”

"Shhhh Whisper, whisper, now this city is in the hands of that dog thief. ”

"You see, he actually manipulated the Holy Lord, forged the Holy Oracle, and attacked Rulin—this dog thief really wants to cancel the privileges of us scholars!"

Previously, in the five-year unified plan, it was clearly stated that some economic privileges of scholars should be gradually abolished, such as not paying taxes, sheltering tenants, and so on. According to the regulations, the Jinling small court should have completed this work a year ago, but it must be admitted that this work involves too many people and has offended too many people, whether it is Qian Qianyi or Ma Shiying, they are unwilling to bear this infamy, so the delay has not been resolved so far. But now that Yu Guozhen has taken over Jinling, and at the same time, the working group he sent is also rushing to various places under the escort of the Huaxia Army to take over various places that were originally controlled by Xiao Mingting, then the next step will be to rely on the strength of the Huaxia Army to forcibly promote this matter.

"Reversing black and white, referring to the deer as a horse, this Yu Guozhen is really a character like Zhao Gao and Wang Mang!"

"Even Zhao Gao and Wang Mang will not be as mad as him......"

Xia Wanchun shook his head when he heard this, these scholars scolded Yu Guozhen behind their backs, but what is the use of this kind of scolding, and it is completely out of their own selfishness, if Yu Guozhen does not cancel their economic and political privileges, I am afraid that they will be eager to sing praises for Yu Guozhen one by one.

They definitely did such a thing, if Yu Guozhen said that the major factories under his control would be distributed to them as scholars, they would definitely claim to praise Yu Guozhen Yao Shunyu soup again and again.

Sure enough, Xia Wanchun heard a scholar say angrily: "Yu Guozhen, this guy, controls countless factories and mines in his hands, and in the future, he will have the exclusive benefits of salt and iron, he will scrape the fat and ointment of the people of the world to consolidate his treasury, and rob the treasures of the four seas to fill his play, and I can't see our little tax exemption, really, it is really greedy and insufficient, and it is difficult to fill the desire!" ”

"That is, he should have distributed all the factories and mines that made money to the people of the world, and he shouldn't compete with the people for profit!"

"I heard that someone will jointly write a letter, asking Yu Guozhen to practice benevolence, such as the Juntian system of the Tang Dynasty, and share all the factories and mines under his control with the people."

Xia Wanchun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, these people's so-called "sharing with the people" is only afraid that they are sharing with themselves, at least with those Confucian scholars and Qingliu who have mastered the right to speak and public opinion, as well as those wealthy businessmen who collude with them behind their backs.

Even if those factories and mines are really distributed to the people, which people have the energy and ability to run them well, it is not necessary to hand them over to those who "have skills", and these "skills" people will inevitably have selfish thoughts. As far as Xia Wanchun knows, among the people who shouted for the joint letter, many of the supporters behind them are even some of the chief officials in Yu Guozhen's factories and mines.

They see the huge profits that these factories and mines bring. When the world is in turmoil, for the sake of peace, they can endure for the time being, but now that the world is peaceful, their minds will inevitably move. If these money-making businesses can be distributed among them, how much wealth can they bring!

"There really is. If he can really do this, Yu Jimin will live up to his name and revitalize the country and help the people. Hehe......"

Hearing this big cake, the Confucian Sheng, who had just scolded Yu Guozhen, suddenly changed his words. Xia Wanchun shook his head again, and the Confucian Sheng happened to see it. Glaring at him, Xia Wanchun immediately stood up and glared back.

Like his father, he has a generous and heroic spirit, although his ideal of joining the Huaxia Army has not been realized, but he has not been less tired of his body over the years. He is convinced that when the country employs people, it is also the time for young people like him to make a difference. Therefore, as soon as he stood up, he obviously overpowered the Confucian student.

The Confucian scholar first took a half step back. Then he sat on the ground and was so scared that he couldn't look like it. Xia Wanchun saw that he was so virtuous, but he didn't bother to care about it.

"A bunch of waste, if the government is up to you, the whole country will be a gelding." Xia Wanchun said with a sneer.

And then. And he departed. When he was there, none of the Confucian scholars dared to speak out, but after he left, several Confucian scholars were so angry that their faces were flushed, one scolded "inhuman", and the other yelled "It's really Sven sweeping the floor". The one sitting on the ground scolded even more.

It's just that Xia Wanchun has already walked away, and he can't hear their scolding at all.

The news of Chongzhen's arrival in Jinling brought a great shock to Xia Wanchun, and he didn't know if his father had already gotten the news, so he hurried to report the matter to his father.

Xia Yunyi naturally resigned a long time ago, and now lives in Jinling City, occasionally writing some articles and earning some manuscript fees to make ends meet. Hearing the news brought by Xia Wanchun, Xia Yunyi was overjoyed: "Is this really the case? ”

"The news on the "People's Livelihood Express" will naturally not be fake, at most it is just a discount." Xia Wanchun said.

At this time, the "Minsheng Express" had not yet learned the ability of later newspapers to praise the merits and virtues of the horses, but the recent articles in Nandu Weekend had a tendency to develop in this direction - but the level of literati shooting horses was higher than that of the old coarse, and the handwriting of a famous artist like Hou Fangyu was even more splendid.

Those who can scold people and have no integrity often slap people's ass, as it has been since ancient times.

"That's right, Wanchun, you go out and summon a car, and we'll go to your majesty together!" Since he knew that Chongzhen had come to Jinling, Xia Yunyi felt that he had to meet him no matter what, so he instructed his son.

Now it is convenient to hire a car, and after a while, the father and son were in a tricycle, and there was nothing on the way, Xia Wanchun told Xia Yunyi about those rotten things, and Xia Yunyi said after listening to it for a long time: "Yu Jimin is not easy." ”

"Why did the boss say this, Yu Jimin is now obedient to his fate, the Huaxia Army is loyal to him, and the subordinate officials and officials who have cultivated him are all capable, why is it not easy?"

"There is a counterattack on the outside, and there is a division on the inside, which is more difficult than the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield back then. Yu Jimin has far-reaching ambitions and has a long plan, if he is just a saint emperor who comes out once in a few hundred years, he can do it now, and it is always no problem to manage and protect this new court for two or three hundred years. But...... Two or three hundred years later, not even two or three hundred years, about a hundred years, when the technology of muskets, steam engines, etc. spreads, at that time China will no longer have a technological advantage, how to suppress the periphery? ”

"What the boss said is a bit too much, there are heroes in the country, and the Han Dao has prospered, so why worry about Hulu?"

"It is on the word Han Dao, how to go in the way of China, Yu Jimin finally found out some clues, but ...... Now, those maggots can't wait to jump out and want to share the feast! ”

Speaking of this, Xia Yunyi's eyes closed slightly, and tears came out of the corners of his eyes: "If it's too peaceful today, and the people have some hope, they can't wait to jump out and scream...... Look at what they say, those who can make money must be divided with them, otherwise they will compete with the people for profit, and those who cannot make money but spend money should be managed by the court, otherwise they will be faint kings...... They have ruined the Ming Dynasty like this, and now they want to destroy Huaxia...... I am proud of China, why are there so many difficulties and difficulties! ”

Xia Yunyi is old, and although he sees that things are far-reaching, he can't help but be a little pessimistic, but Xia Wanchun clenched his fists and shook his head: "Don't worry, my lord, Yu Jimin won't let them succeed, and I will never let them succeed!" ”

This is the first time in Xia Wanchun's heart that he wants to join the Chinese political system and use his own strength to protect the path explored by Yu Guozhen in the future. Maybe this road may not be absolutely correct, maybe this road may not be without setbacks, or maybe this road itself is paved with mud and thorns, but after all, this road has made Xia Wanchun see the hope of China's rise.

He is convinced that there are not a few people who think the same way as him. (To be continued)
