Chapter 11: The Appearance of Officialdom (3)
No matter how the government prohibits it, this "Officialdom Appearance" is still widely spread, because in fact, human beings have a rebellious mentality, and the more the government prohibits it, the more people love to watch it at times. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info especially those various secrets of the government, many people like to read this kind of thing. This government ordered the search of this officialdom appearance, so it promoted the dissemination of this "officialdom appearance" to a certain extent. Maybe the government can search those big books, but some people can even make this book a pocket book, really to hide anything.
In this way, those officialdom appearances still exist in various forms. The government has searched for a copy, and there will always be another way. For example, the cover on the outside uses a different title, but the internal content is indeed this "The Appearance of Officialdom". All of a sudden, this "The Appearance of Officialdom" spread rapidly in various forms, and even in this situation where there is no copyright and copyright is not protected, the spread is even more crazy and unscrupulous. Those businessmen in the printing hall make money printing whatever books, they don't have any shame at all, and they just start pirating without any pressure. As a result, in less than 30 days from Shanghai, this record of officialdom spread throughout East China. Everyone in the entire East China region is asking who this Chen Dingtian is, and even some middle and low-level bureaucrats. They were amazed by Chen Dingtian's understanding of the inside story of officialdom. This Chen Dingtian actually knows so much about the internal affairs of officialdom, so that many people also want to go to "apprentice" as soon as possible!
Even many middle- and low-level officials have used this example in "The Appearance of Officialdom" as a guide to becoming officials, and even plan to follow the method of "The Appearance of Officialdom" to become officials. However, there are also some so-called "people of insight", who saw the decay of the Qing Dynasty from this "Officialdom Appearance", and began to ponder in their hearts how to save this "Qing Dynasty".
And at present, no one knows, this officialdom appearance is like a test of people's hearts, and some people feel very frightened when they see this thing, especially those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who feel thorns in their backs. Some people were very desperate for the Manchus, and once people despaired, they either killed themselves or took revenge on the society. Of course, the way to take revenge on this society is nothing more than rebellion. Therefore, seeing the situation in this officialdom appearance, many educated "people of insight" have begun to have a poisonous weed of "rebellion" in their hearts, although this poisonous weed is not deep at present, but once someone provokes a storm of rebellion in the future, perhaps a group of educated and high-quality people will be willing to join in overthrowing this imperial court.
Of course, there are also some people who want to revise this situation, and they have a naΓ―ve dream, hoping that the imperial court can give an order, sweep away the entire officialdom, and clear up the situation. Of course, all kinds of people have different ideas, people with different identities, and different positions. This officialdom has had a greater impact on the society of this era.
"It's horrible, it's horrible, it's horrible!"
Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, Lu Jianying, who is the Governor of Liangjiang, looked at the appearance of the pirated officialdom presented by this subordinate, and his hands trembled. Lu Jianying thought that he had been in the sea for many years, and he should have been a person who had collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his face did not change. But now, when he saw this officialdom appearance, he suddenly recalled the dirty and unsightly things he had done since he became an official, and even all kinds of dirtiness found similar examples in this officialdom appearance.
Lu Jianying knew very well that this officialdom appearance record almost exposed all the dirt and dirt in the officialdom to this people. In this way, the people can clearly see what kind of true colors they are for these corrupt officials, and even this will definitely cause many people to be dissatisfied with the Manchu court, which is not good for them. Lu Jianying knew that once this officialdom was widely circulated throughout the country, the future of the Qing Dynasty would be worrisome.
"Immediately, I will hurry up to 800 miles, and send this sample book and my recital to the emperor and the court officials to read. And, let this thing be judged by the emperor. And, immediately go and collect the information of this so-called author Chen Dingtian for me, and you must check the eighteen generations of his ancestors for me. Then, arrest this Chen Dingtian for me, I must not be able to let him go! Lu Jianying said viciously.
But the master next to him said, "My lord, no! Yu Longguang, the magistrate of Qingpu County, also said that this Chen Dingtian has been staying in the concession and refuses to come out. But they didn't dare to go in if they caught it fast, so they didn't catch that Chen Dingtian. That Chen Dingtian has the protection of foreigners, and we have no choice. If you rush in, it will involve foreigners, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate. β
"Foreigner, bastard!" Lu Jianying also scolded a swear word.
If this Chen Dingtian was somewhere else, any catcher could arrest him. But it was actually in the foreigner's concession, so they had to be careful. You must know that foreigners are not easy to mess with, and everything related to foreigners is a big matter, and the central government must contact them, and local officials are not qualified to interfere. So this Lu Jianying knows, I'm afraid that this matter must be ordered by the imperial court center to be able to do it.
"Okay, but we can't do nothing. Otherwise, it will not be appropriate to investigate it when the time comes. An order was immediately issued to ban and destroy this so-called "Officialdom Appearance", and then anyone who dared to hide it privately would be severely punished. Whoever dares to know and not report it will be severely punished. In addition, those who take the initiative to report can be rewarded by the government. Lu Jianying said.
With the personal order of Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, the entire Jiangsu and Jiangxi regions in East China also began a large-scale search for this "Officialdom Appearance". Of course, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely not miss this opportunity. They slandered, they took this opportunity to slander the ordinary people, to extort them. This is a large-scale search, and this is certainly a very good opportunity, which can be used as an opportunity to loot money, or even extort money from the people.
And this literal hell, if you can use the literal hell as an excuse, it's enough to extort a lot of things. You must know the Manchu literary prison, but everyone is afraid, so it can be blackmailed too much, and those who want to avoid the literary prison will not hesitate to take out their families from bankruptcy, so as to avoid being implicated in the nine clans. Therefore, this makes those corrupt officials and corrupt officials make a lot of money.
Shanghai, Chen Dingtian's villa.
"Mr. Chen, this time in the Liangjiang area, it is really a lively "Officialdom Appearance", this "Officialdom Appearance" is even more exciting than your "Officialdom Appearance"! Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, ordered the search and destruction of this "Record of the Appearance of Officialdom", and those subordinate bureaucrats went up to the prefect and county to the officials such as the inspectors, down to the ordinary masters, scribes, and catchers, all of whom were full of food. They took the opportunity to loot and extort the people and abuse their public power. And the people all kinds of requests, pull relations, and even all kinds of dirty. The means of streaming have also been used. Even some people do not hesitate to sacrifice their daughters and wives in order to take them out. The horror of this Qing Dynasty's literary prison is known to everyone, and they are afraid that they will be implicated in the literary prison. So they are really crazy, those corrupt officials are really staging a "Officialdom Appearance". β
"There are already many people who have begun to despair about this Qing Dynasty, and if it weren't for this "Officialdom Appearance", they still don't know how rotten this Qing Dynasty has been. But with your "Officialdom Appearance", and then combined with the appearance of the officials in extortion and extortion, it is really a comparison. In this way, as soon as "The Appearance of Officialdom" was played, "The Appearance of Officialdom" in reality this time is really much more exciting than the one in your book! β
Even, some people are secretly estimating which characters in the book correspond to in this reality of "The Appearance of Officialdom". As you can imagine, there are too many terrible things in it, and everyone is extremely afraid. β
Hearing Fu Shanxiang's words, Chen Dingtian was not surprised. He is very clear about the conduct of these Manchu bureaucrats, and if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to extort money, then I am afraid they will not be Manchu bureaucrats. This kind of thing cannot be completely avoided even in future generations, let alone this era.
Chen Dingtian's "The Appearance of Officialdom" is really seen by those people, so that they can correspond to the characters in this "Officialdom Appearance" one by one, so that they also have sufficient comparisons. But the Manchu bureaucrats didn't care about this, they only had silver in their eyes, and nothing else. In addition, this is likely to set off a text prison, which makes them all extremely scared. The more frightened the people were, the more ruthless the extortion of officials became, and all sorts of situations came out. What to send money, to beautiful women, to give daughters and wives, and so on. Therefore, a real version of "The Appearance of Officialdom" has also begun to be staged, even more bizarre, more terrifying, and more absurd than Chen Dingtian's "The Appearance of Officialdom". Sometimes, reality is far more terrifying, crazier, and more absurd than imagined.
"If Heaven wants him to perish, he must first make him crazy. The Manchu officials were so crazy about blackmail and extortion, which was enough to make many so-called 'people of insight' who had followed them despair of the Manchus. In this way, these educated, knowledgeable, and ideal people despair of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they will also go crazy after complete despair. Either choose to commit suicide to escape this world, or choose to shatter this old world and build a new one. I think that the impact of this officialdom is no less than that of an atomic bomb. Perhaps, in the future, many people will begin to despair of the Manchus and embark on the road of anti-Qing. At that time, I could be regarded as making some contributions to the China of this world! Chen Dingtian thought.
After Chen Dingtian plagiarized and plagiarized this "The Appearance of Officialdom", he already knew that it would definitely cause turbulent waves, and if it didn't cause turbulent waves, it would be a strange thing. The corrupt Manchu bureaucrats would have hated themselves to the core, and would have even banned and destroyed the book's dissemination. But Chen Dingtian was not afraid, because he knew that the more books the so-called imperial court forbidden, the more often they were circulated. Since ancient times, there have been many books banned by the imperial court, but there are still many things that have been passed down tenaciously.
Especially novels, those novels that are forbidden by the government, such as "Dream of Red Mansions", and "Golden Vase Plum" or something, these novels banned by the government often end up with very strong vitality. Because of the novel, whether it is a high-ranking official or a lower riba, they will like to read it, and it is a thing shared by the elegant and the vulgar. He is not like those poems and songs, and the scope of circulation is relatively narrow.
Although novels were looked down upon in ancient times, the books that the grassroots people liked were the books that were really the most vigorous. If it is a really powerful novel, it will be difficult for the government to ban it completely, even if it wants to. Novels are shared by elegance and vulgarity, can the government search every household? Obviously not, this is why many books with niche themes have been banned and destroyed, but novels can often survive tenaciously.
Chen Dingtian still doesn't know that the storm of this officialdom is far more than these, and it will even set off even greater storms in the future.
"Dada......"
A cavalryman who was ordered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty used the fastest speed of 800 miles to rush to the capital. He held this sample book of "The Appearance of Officialdom" and the twists and turns about Lu Jianying, and they spent a relatively fast time, changing people and horses along the way, striving to send it to the capital as quickly as possible, and asked Emperor Xianfeng, who had just ascended the throne, to make a parent-child approval ruling.
"Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited, Lord Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited recital, and the emperor personally approved the big thing!" "Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited, the governor of Liangjiang, Lu Jianying, Lord Lu, came to the eight hundred miles to expedite the twists and turns, and the emperor asked for the emperor's personal approval!" β¦β¦
The Manchu cavalry who were responsible for passing the folds shouted desperately in the capital, and along the way, people kept getting out of the way to avoid being hit by this, especially blocking the transmission of this eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork.
Soon, this recital of Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, was sent to the palace overnight, asking Emperor Xianfeng to personally approve it.
