Chapter 8 POV: Liu Ruyi's Fuxue incitement
Fuxue pays attention to "food is silent, sleep is silent", so Liu Xu did not speak again after greeting Liu Ruyi to sit down. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Five people gathered around a small table to enjoy their breakfast quietly.
Fuxue's cafeteria was by no means as good as Liu Xu said, and he clearly saw that the three people who came with Liu Xu frowned tightly, as if they were surprised that there was such vulgar food in this world. Yes, these children of Jiangnan families usually go in and out of the fat horse house, and there are beautiful maids and scholars in their daily lives, and their diets are all anointed with fat meat, how can they stand the food of the house. However, although Liu Xu is gorgeously dressed, he eats the food of this school with relish, and he doesn't feel sorry for his identity at all.
"To be able to enjoy happiness and endure hardship, to be both above and below for others, this Liu Xu is not simple." Liu Ruyi silently speculated in his heart about the identity of the comer, and Liu Xu's style reminded him of a legendary creature.
It can not only ride the six qi, drive the clouds, enter and exit the green underworld, and enjoy the universe, but also can lurk in the ravines, drink mud, lie in the body, wait for the opportunity, and the hidden dragon out of the abyss.
It's a hidden dragon.
Liu Ruyi became more curious about Liu Xu's intentions.
Breakfast doesn't take long, after all, the food here can only ensure the food and clothing of the students, and other enjoyments will have to wait until some of them are lucky enough to be promoted and jinshi. As for those students who can't pass the exam for the rest of their lives, they won't have too advanced enjoyment in the rest of their lives.
After breakfast, there was a morning class, and Liu Ruyi took the four of them to the front of a small classroom. This classroom is so cold in winter that it can freeze the ink in the inkstone, and in summer it is so hot that even flies don't want to come in, but this room is the hope of Liu Ruyi's family. Only by studying here can he get the food supply, and only by studying here can he hope to be admitted to the Juren and Jinshi.
This house is dusty on a sunny day and rainy on a rainy day, not hateful in his eyes, on the contrary, it is lovely.
He couldn't help but chant softly: "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the cold people in the world are happy, and the suffering of the cold people is the same in ancient and modern times." ”
This was originally a self-talk, but it was heard by Liu Xu, who has a sensitive ear. Liu Xu smiled lightly: "Brother Liu said that the Han Shi is suffering, the Han Shi is naturally bitter, this Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, 1,400 counties and 600,000 students?" The dynasty only takes two or three hundred scholars every year, how many can be officials? Life is still difficult for most students. It's just that my brother has only seen the suffering of these 600,000 people, but have you ever thought about the suffering of the 20,000,000 people in the Ming Dynasty? ”
Liu Ruyi didn't expect Liu Xu to be able to report such an accurate figure, he was stunned, thinking of his father who risked going to sea to fish in order to repay his debts, but drowned in the sea and couldn't even find his body, thinking of his mother who was seriously ill and looking forward to his return home day and night, and his younger brother who was lured astray, tears suddenly flowed.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
"You said that the people are bitter, I don't know, but this Yao Shunyu is less than three generations, the people are all bitter, and it is better to meet the virtuous king, the holy king, and the peaceful and prosperous times, once the troubled times come, it is 'better to be a peaceful dog than to be chaotic and leave people'." Liu Ruyi gently wiped her tears with her sleeve and muttered: "I'm not a smart person, I've read so many sage books and haven't found a way to make everyone not bitter, since you know so much, is there a way to make everyone not bitter?" His eyes sparkled, a light of hope.
Liu Xu frowned and did not speak.
Sure enough, you can't do anything like a hidden dragon. The flickering light in Liu Ruyi's eyes dimmed suddenly.
"I have the way, but no one wants to believe me. If I follow my method, I dare not say that no one suffers, but there are people in this world who can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Liu Xu thought about it and finally spoke.
"Do you have a way?!" Liu Ruyi didn't expect his voice to be so sharp, this voice pierced the tranquility of the morning of Fuxue, startled a few sparrows jumping on the ground, and made many students look at him angrily.
"Insulting Sven."
"Noisy and yelling, what kind of system!"
He heard someone rebuke him like this.
But he didn't care, because the system couldn't make people have enough to eat, and he couldn't let girls not be sold to the Qinglou. He was like a traveler who had been thirsty for days and finally found an oasis in front of him. Even if it was a mirage, he had to run hard.
"I have a way, but no one wants to believe me." Liu Xu's voice had confidence in it, but there was also a hint of helplessness.
"Then, I believe in you, can you take me to do it? Use your own way. Liu Ruyi didn't know why he believed in this Liu Xu like this, he was never a gullible person.
Zi said: "I am also a person, listen to his words and believe in his deeds; Now I am also a person, listen to his words and watch his deeds", I just listened to a few words, and I haven't seen his specific actions, how can I believe this guy?
Maybe it's because this person has a kind of charm that people believe in, a kind of confidence that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
"Will you trust me?" Liu Xu was a little surprised: "I didn't say anything!" ”
"I believe in you, no matter what you do, count me in, as long as it can make everyone's life better, I am willing to do anything." Liu Ruyi thought of many people, the widow Wang who often made steamed buns for herself at the head of the village, the girl of the Yang family who loved to smile at the door, and Liu Lichang, who often helped everyone apply for deferred tax payment, they were all good people, but they were all too hard.
The king's widow did not survive the last winter, but fell ill and died; The girl of the Yang family was sold to the Goolan brothel in Yangzhou City, and the poor girl she bought since she was a child was called 'Yangzhou Thin Horse'; Liu Lizheng was ruined because she paid too much rent and tax for everyone.
Everyone is living too hard, too hard.
Liu Ruyi's nails were deeply embedded in the palm of his hand, and a few drops of red blood stabbed out, drop after drop, dripping on the dry earth.
"I promise you, my method, starting today!" Liu Xu glanced at Liu Ruyi deeply and walked into the classroom with his head held high.
Although he is very tall, his figure is not strong, but it is this slightly thin back that walks to the classroom step by step, with firm steps, without regrets, suddenly like a god.
There are already a lot of people in the classroom, they have the money to live in the dormitory of the school palace, and they spend less time on the road every day, so they can save a lot of time to study books. The sound of books in the classroom made Liu Ruyi feel a sense of security.
This is a sense of belonging, no matter how hard life is, there are always sage books to read.
But that feeling was shattered right away.
Liu Ruyi saw Liu Xu striding into the classroom, and said loudly: "In Xiasongjiang Liu Xu Liu Boyang, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, ask all the senior brothers!" ”
After a pause, Liu Xu continued: "This is Wang Zhen, lifting people; Su River, lifting people; Xu Fuyuan, although he has not yet been lifted, but Brother Xu's literary name is more important than Jiangnan, and he can be an example of contemporary scholars, I think everyone knows it, and the ancestor of his family is Xu Shoufu back then! ”
The other three people were faintly led by Liu Xu, who just smiled and arched their hands with everyone, without saying much.
This means that everything is up to Liu Xu.
Liu Ruyi was a little shocked, sure enough, these four people were not ordinary people.
Then he heard Liu Xu introduce himself: "As for this Brother Liu, we are 'white-headed as new, as old as ever', as soon as we meet, we will be introduced as confidants, I think we often study together, and we know each other well, so I won't introduce much." ”
It was very disturbing to be interrupted while reading, but when they heard the origin of the four people, many people immediately restrained the anger on their faces, and some even showed flattering smiles. Liu Ruyi understands them, and now there are so many people in Jiangnan who read like a cow, and most of them have to invite famous teachers to socialize everywhere, and it is difficult to support them without hundreds of taels of silver every year. If you can make friends with these children of the Jiangnan family, the imperial examination will reduce a lot of trouble in the future!
Seeing Liu Ruyi being introduced as a confidant by Liu Gongzi, many people showed an unbelievable look in their eyes, and there were familiar expressions of Liu Ruyi, such as disdain, such as annoyance; There are also those he is not familiar with, such as envy, such as jealousy.
Liu Ruyi looked at his nose and his nose and his heart, and he decided to brake with static.
Liu Xu spoke, his voice was not particularly good, not to mention the tone of the capital and a little hoarse, but his voice had a kind of incendiary magic: "You are studying in the school palace, in order to govern the country and level the world, the younger brother is extremely admired." It is precisely because of you that I have become a T-day. The kingdom of court, the state of etiquette. The little brother is new to the city, if there is anything bad to say, please bear with me! He arched his hand in all directions, a warm smile on his face.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Liu is young and talented, and if he is only weak, he will have to be lifted, and he will definitely be able to go straight to Fengchi in the future!"
Thousands of clothes are worn, but horses are not worn, seeing Liu Xu so humble, the students are half flattering and half sincerely flattering.
"Since you senior brothers don't care about the younger brother's young and thin morality, the younger brother will speak straight if he has something to say" Liu Xu suddenly changed his words, and his voice became cold and hard: "You study hard every day, this is extremely hard, but in this way, you can be an official, manage the government of the people, and even enter the prime minister, and go down in history?" ”
His questions were extremely acute, and they pierced the most secret worries in the hearts of many students, causing many students to change color.
Liu Ruyi clearly knows that there are too many students in the Jiangnan region, especially in the Nanzhili area, where the literary style is gathered, although I don't know where Liu Xu's 600,000 students come from, but he does know that there are too many people in Nanzhili, even if they are masters, there are many people who can only be local squires and not officials, not to mention the students?
If you don't get into the Jinshi, you won't be an official, but in the past three years, there are only two or three hundred Jinshi, where are the hundreds of thousands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty enough?
"What does Liu Gongzi mean by this, could it be that he bullied me because he was a young man?" A student with a big temper immediately stood up: "Reading the imperial examination is originally the way of the ancestors, and being able to pass the exam is the accumulation of virtue on the ancestors, and failing to pass the exam is because you are not good at learning and art, you don't want to be complacent because you wait one step ahead of me, you must know that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people and be poor!" ”
The students are clamoring one after another, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, many people are in the countryside to take up lawsuits, bullying men and women, although they can't be officials, but they are also local tyrants, although they are not as good as the family brocade and food, there is no problem with food and clothing, but Liu Ruyi has never been able to bear to oppress his neighbors, so his life is so hard.
For a while, the crowd in the room was excited, and the students crossed their arms, as if they were going to beat Liu Xu.
If someone is beaten by a student, the student will definitely not be good afterwards, but Liu Xu is estimated to be beaten in vain. Liu Ruyi was a little nervous, he decided to protect Liu Xu, even if it was a few hits for him.
"How dare the junior brother bully the juniors?" Liu Xu's eyes widened, and his expression was full of innocence: "Little brother, like you, feels that this student's path to advancement is too narrow, and it is extremely difficult to be awarded an official if he is not a jinshi!" ”
The members of the group were in a hurry, and they didn't want to fight.
"The little brother is here this time, I really have a plan to discuss with you, I don't know if you are willing to give the little brother a face."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Brother Liu came from afar, let's listen to it."
Liu Ruyi saw the joy flashing in Liu Xu's eyes, the kind of joy he had seen before, such as his father would have this look when he saw the fish enter the net.
"The younger brother thought, our life is really not good, needless to say, the monthly allowance is so much money, Songjiang is rich, there can be eighteen taels of silver every year, if it is a poor place, you can't even afford to eat and dress! What's even more bitter is that there are 40 students in the government, 20 in the county, and there are hundreds of students in this attached school, and most of the people here have no confessions, although I have not personally experienced this kind of day, but I think it is not very rich! As for lifting people, although the situation is a little better, but you still can't be an official! Usually, we can't get on the table when the county order treats, and when we meet Jinshi, we will be dwarfed! Let's think about it, the national dynasty only takes two or three hundred jinshi in each subject, when will it be our turn to take the exam one by one! We have been studying since we were children, and we have studied hard for more than 10 years, more than 20 years, and more than 30 years, do we want to stay up until our hair is gray and then become officials? When that time comes, you won't be able to eat and drink, you won't be able to drink, and you won't even be able to serve your concubine when you marry, what's the point of living like this! ”
Liu Ruyi didn't know why Liu Xu's words were so infectious, he clearly saw that many people quietly clenched their fists, and there were words in their mouths, thinking that it would not be a good word, and some of the older students had tears flashing in the corners of their eyes.
"Brother Liu, you and I hit it off at first sight, although I can't know all about your suffering, but I can also understand one or two, do you want to tell everyone?" Liu Xu said to Liu Ruyi.
"Huh? Me? Liu Ruyi is not like selling his own suffering, but he is unwilling to refuse Liu Xu's request. Deeper, perhaps even unaware of it, there is something called hope.
Let me give you a hand and show me how far you can go.
"Hello fellow brothers, in Liu Ruyi, everyone knows me. What Brother Liu just said is true, the hardships of our students have all been experienced by themselves, and naturally there is nothing false. I'll tell you about my suffering. Liu Ruyi began to tell his suffering, he never thought that he would have such a good eloquence, he couldn't stop as soon as he started talking, he thought while talking, he thought of many people, there are fathers, mothers, younger brothers, widows, Yang family girls, Liu Lizheng......
To Liu Ru's surprise, the students did not show their usual disdain, they were really listening to him, and they really showed sympathy for his suffering, for the suffering of those around him.
"Isn't this Liu Xu really a natural saint king? How can a rebellious scholar be so obedient? Liu Ruyi's heart was full of questions.
Liu Xu listened quietly, wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief from time to time, obviously emotional. After a pause, he chose a pause to interrupt Liu Ruyi's words: "After listening to Brother Liu's words, I knew that the suffering of the students had reached this point, what I said before was still too optimistic, Brother Liu, if there is rudeness, please forgive me." After speaking, he actually bowed to Liu Ruyi.
"Ah, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Liu Ruyi hurriedly returned the salute, his heart was chaotic, there was a sense of accomplishment, and there was a sense of confusion, although he was clear about his suffering, but he didn't know how to do it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, "Yi" said, 'Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement', and some people say, 'Self-help is heaven', although I have taken the exam ahead of you, but I also have to be despised by Jinshi, and our dignified scholars, the head of Shinong Industry and Commerce, actually lived such a miserable life, and when he went to the countryside, he had to suffer from the anger of the local tyrant and the inferior gentleman, and Dong Qichang was angry and died of a living member is not the best example?" Liu Xu paused, and looked at the students with burning eyes: "Everyone, everyone! But any man who is a little temperamental and has a little self-esteem, tell me, are we still living this kind of bird life? ”
"But, not so!" Wang Zhen and the three suddenly shouted loudly, facing the students who were looking at each other underground, they shouted: "We don't want to rebel, we are all scholars who have studied for many years, we are looking for the imperial court for official positions, for the government for silver, and for the local tyrants and inferior gentry for land!" ”
Official position! Silver! Land!
Liu Ruyi saw that the eyes of many students emitted green light, he had also seen this kind of light, he had once walked in the dark one day, and a wolf who followed him far away had this kind of light in his eyes.
"But, no!" Finally, a student began to shout, the one who questioned at the beginning: "Lao Tzu Li Fengtian, Baile Village, Songjiang Mansion, Lao Tzu is not affected by the bird's anger of this scholar, Lao Tzu wants to find the imperial court for an official position, to find the government to ask for silver, to find a local tyrant and inferior gentry to ask for land!" ”
"Yes, I want an official position, I want silver, I want land!" With the one taking the lead, one person began to shout, two people began to shout, three people began to shout, and soon, as if the flames had finally begun to burn, everyone was immersed in the fiery passion: "Nothing more, nothing more! Find the court for an official position, find the government for silver, and find a local tyrant and inferior gentry for land! ”
"I want an official position, I want silver, I want land!"
"I want an official position, I want silver, I want land!"
"I want an official position, I want silver, I want land!"
The sound spread far away, as if it was about to collapse the beams.
