Chapter 35 Current Affairs

Caring about current affairs is Wu Fanhui's habit, before the crossing, he had to browse the news on the computer every day, carefully read every piece of news that he thought was very important, and make his own understanding of the analysis, after the crossing, his habit was intermittent, almost unable to continue well, without him, the information of this era is too closed, not to mention that he is still a grassroots cloth people, even if it is the most prominent He family in the county, I am afraid that it is impossible to know a lot of news from the outside world.

This kind of closed atmosphere is very beneficial to the court and the government, the common people live in a small pitiful circle, they don't know what is going on in the outside world, there can be no comparison, the people around them look similar, no one's life is much better, and there is a lot less imbalance in the heart.

Despite being in such an atmosphere, Wu Fanhui still tried to understand the news of the outside world, of course, he wanted to know the information of other provinces and even the south and the capital, which is unrealistic, the key is that not many people in Mizhi County know that the entire Wu family has been to the capital is Wu Mianqing.

To be able to go to the capital this year is a great honor for the people of Mizhi County.

Wu Fanhui believes that this is very useful, on the one hand, to help him have a deeper understanding of the actual situation of this era, and on the other hand, he can also analyze the future trend of the situation according to the information he has learned.

Wu Fanhui does not agree with the practice of ignoring things outside the window and only reading the books of sages and sages, I don't know how many people who read, it is because of this belief that they did not achieve fame in reading, and they themselves became pedantic, and they simply became wasted.

The county exam is imminent, Wu Fanhui's preparations are almost complete, with Wu Mianqing's frequent reminders and occasional counseling, plus his own efforts, there will be no problem in passing the county exam.

As the boss of Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu, and Wu Mingfeng, Wu Fanhui deserves his name, Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu and Wu Mingfeng are all members of the Wu family, although their parents do not have a prominent position in the family, but they all know about some things that happen in the family, especially Wu Fanhui's father Wu Qingchao has become the head of the family account and has become the person with real power in the family, and the whole family knows about it. It is also something that has caused a certain sensation in the family.

Wu Mingkun and several other children are very happy, they congratulated the boss, after all, they are children with pure minds, they do not have the attitude of tending to be inflammatory, that kind of happiness comes from the heart, the eldest Wu Mingkun, after the school opened, united with the other four people, specially invited Wu Fanhui to the inn to have a meal, looking at Wu Mingkun and the others at a young age, they raised the wine glass to congratulate him, Wu Fanhui was indeed moved in his heart.

Having experienced some things in the family and some things in Ma'anshan Village, Wu Fanhui knows that this era is even more complicated, and the relationship between people is simple and simple, and it is also very complicated.

Wu Fanhui strictly supervised the study of Wu Mingkun and others.

Nearly half a year has passed, Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng, all of whom can skillfully recite "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", even Yan Qi feels strange, his husband has never tried his best to teach students, these little dolls can skillfully recite "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", it is not simple.

After more than half a year, Wu Fanhui finally figured out the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty readers' learning, no matter how old you start reading, the first thing you come into contact with is the enlightenment textbook "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Character Text", after being able to memorize and write proficiently, you will begin to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, the so-called ten years of cold window, accompanied by the Four Books and Five Classics.

Confucian culture is broad and profound, a person spends his life, and he does not dare to say that he has learned the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, but from the perspective of studying the Four Books and Five Classics for the imperial examination, there is really a significant difference, and the results depend on your ability to write Bagu Wen, the better you write Baguwen, the better you learn. Of course, almost all of the two rank jinshi, after the imperial examination high school, decisively abandoned the Baguwen, and they also knew that this thing had no effect when they were officials.

After the opening of the Wu Academy, Guo Yanqi's mood has changed a lot, which Wu Fanhui is looking at, after all, as the head mother of the Wu family, the Kuang family, has been expelled from the family, and the Kuang family has some relationship with the Kuang family, maybe when he will be implicated, although Wu Mianqing, who served as the patriarch again, warned almost all the people in the family not to exclude people of the opposite sex in the family because of the relationship between the Kuang family, but this influence is more or less existing.

It was at this time that Wu Fanhui reached out to help, in fact, in the Wu family, his status was higher than that of his father Wu Qingchao, Wu Mianqing was very attentive to his suggestions, about not excluding people with different surnames in the Wu family, Wu Fanhui also specifically mentioned the Qin Dynasty Li Si's "Book of Expulsion of Guests", that the Wu family needs to develop and grow, that is, to absorb more talents.

Wu Fanhui invited Yan Qi to eat and drink several times, and the status between the two changed subtly, Yan Qi became very polite, and Wu Fanhui seemed to have become the master.

Wu Fanhui is by no means a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, no matter whether Yan Qi is messing around in the Wu Academy, but Wu Fanhui still has a certain kindness to him, especially when he rushed to the county seat from home to inform him of the upcoming trouble, if there is no timely notification from Yan Qi, and help send a letter to Wu Mianqing, Wu Fanhui will definitely not be able to participate in the county test that will start soon, and he may bear a notoriety that is difficult to wash, and he may be ruined for the rest of his life.

Through many contacts with Guo Yanqi, Wu Fanhui can conclude that Guo Yanqi is unlikely to pass the township test, and it is impossible to have much success in this life, he privately compared Guo Yanqi with Wu Mianqing, and found that the problems of Guo Yanqi are obvious, he did not learn from others' strengths, nor did he work hard to study, he has a high confidence in his own knowledge, and there is almost no measure to absorb external knowledge.

However, Wu Fanhui still learned a lot about the situation in Mizhi County through Guo Yanqi.

These situations include the county government, county seats, villages and towns, and many other situations, especially what Yan Qi saw and heard when he returned to Taohua Town for more than a month.

Because of the serious famine, Mizhi County has been in turmoil, all over the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, there have been peasant rebellions in many places, although there has been no large-scale peasant rebellion in Mizhi County, but those rich households in the local area are already frightened, always thinking of moving to the county to live, so as not to be robbed by poor and crazy farmers, lose all their money.

The scene described by Yan Qi made Wu Fanhui have a certain psychological preparation, he is familiar with history and knows the direction of history, but after crossing over, he is in the whirlpool of great historical changes, first of all, to ensure that he and his family are not injured and not swallowed up by the whirlpool of great changes.

Taohua Town, one of the villages and towns with the best conditions in Mizhi County, has also had a big problem, many people have completely run out of food in their homes, and they have no way out, and some peasant households have joined the ranks of the displaced people, and some peasants have even heard that there are peasant rebellions in Fugu, Yichuan, and Ansai, and have gone to these places to take refuge.

The main energy of the government is concentrated on the cities and important villages and towns, and it almost ignores other places, and after several years of famine, there is no tax at all, and when the common people face the famine, they first sell their fields, and then sell all the valuable things in their homes, and in the end they are desperate, and even sell their wives and children, and finally when there is nothing to sell, some peasant households who are not willing to wait for death can only rise up and rebel.

When Yan Qi talked about these situations, although he did not describe them in detail, the expression on his face was still a little unbearable, of course, he did not have any specific ways to solve them, it was nothing more than that he thought that the county government and the government should write a letter to the imperial court, and asked the imperial court to come up with money and grain to relieve the people, so that the people could tide over the difficulties.

Wu Fanhui did not get a lot of discussion about the current situation from Yan Qi, and it was only the famine suffered by Mizhi County, and even the peasant rebellion in Fugu and other places not very far away, Yan Qi was not so clear, but he heard that these peasants who had gone crazy hated the government and the local rich households, and to rise up to rebel was to rob these rich households.

But from Yan Qi's words, Wu Fanhui has got a very accurate information, that is, Yan'an Mansion is about to be in chaos, not a long time, the whole of Shaanxi will also fall into chaos, once the peasant uprising reaches a certain level, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress, at that time, the situation of the common people will be even more miserable, because the army of the Ming Dynasty is almost the implementation of the military household system, the army of the guards around the country has formed the main force of the army, and these guards are almost to feed themselves, When they go out on the expedition, the local government has to provide money and food, and the places under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, which are extremely barren, how can they take out how much money and food to maintain the expenses of the army, and this burden will inevitably be passed on to the common people at that time.

The common people can't bear it anymore, and I'm afraid that more people who are forced to helpless will rise up and rebel.
