There were about five or six thousand scholars who went to Beijing together, and naturally these people could not live together, so they were scattered in various guilds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Fortunately, it is not yet the time for the examination, and there are still many vacant rooms in the assembly halls, which are enough for the scholars to live.

The hall where the son is located is the Songjiang Hall, located in the Xuanwumen half of the alley, because the Songjiang place is rich, the scholars who enter Beijing to take the exam are relatively rich, so the Songjiang Hall is also built magnificently, not only has the courtyard of the five entrances and the triple courtyard, but also has a meeting hall, which can be used for 500 people to feast and drink at the same time, as well as the temple of sacrificing to the gods, worshiping the Kui Xing, and sacrificing the village sages, plus the garden and verandah, it is simply a miniature palace.

Liu Ruyi took Xu Laosan to the door of the hall, the gate of the hall was more than a zhang wide, and there were two majestic stone lions squatting in front of the door, and all kinds of flowers and plants were planted. He was praising the construction of the guild hall, but when he saw the two scholars arguing loudly, their eyes were red, and they looked indignant, they couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Everyone, seeing that Wei Zhongxian has fallen, it is the time when the whole country is jubilant and participating in the grand event, why are you arguing?" ”

A scholar turned his head and saw that it was Liu Ruyi, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are Liu Gongzi's close and friend, but you don't know what happened?" ”

"Isn't it the son who did the right attendant of the Yizhou Prefect and the Military Department? He told you a long time ago that if the way is not working, you can only float on the sea, and you know that. ”

"We naturally know this, but at the beginning, the prince said that he would take us to set up a 'village council', so that ordinary scholars would also have the opportunity to become officials, but now the emperor only allows 200 scholars to be officials, saying that he wants to carry out some kind of 'pilot', and if it is done well, he will continue to do it - but everyone knows that this show of talent as an official is a great violation of the interests of raising people and scholars, and if it cannot be rolled out in an all-round way, this pilot will sooner or later become a 'dead spot'!"

Liu Ruyi was a little speechless when he heard this, he didn't know the emperor's thoughts, most of the emperor felt that he had to give an explanation to the scholars of the world, and on the other hand, he did not dare to violate the ancestral system and offend the jinshi, so he had to engage in such a nondescript "pilot project" to allow the "village council" to be carried out in 200 villages. It's just that this is actually a two-pleasing thing - the scholars feel that the emperor is stingy and stingy, and they are reluctant to pay for their merits, and the scholars and gentry feel that the emperor wants to cut them!

After thinking about it, Liu Ruyi had no choice but to say: "Gongzi promised you, if you are willing to go to Yizhou with you, everyone can have a hundred acres of land, and if there are more people in the back, you can still be officials, why don't you go?" There are only 200 places in this pilot, and it is estimated that it may not be your turn, but if you go to Yizhou, you can mix at least 100 acres of land! ”

"This-" The two scholars who were arguing loudly suddenly stopped talking, they were silent for a while, and one said: "This Yizhou is too far away, I heard that there is also the red-haired Yi, all of them are blue-faced and fanged, copper-headed and iron-fronted, and eat people without blinking...... and the other said: "I go to Yizhou, I don't know when I can return?" It's better to prepare well for the imperial examination, maybe you will win this year! After saying that, the two did not quarrel and went on their own.

Liu Ruyi looked at Xu Laosan embarrassedly, and said softly: "I'm really sorry, let Brother Xu see the joke." ”

"It's okay, it's okay" Xu Laosan waved his hand three times: "I guessed that it would be like this, in fact, I came mainly to meet Liu Zhuangyuan, as for these non-line literati who only know speculation, I can't look down on them!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Liu Ruyi sneered and continued to enter the house with Xu Laosan and the others.

Childe was already sitting in the house drinking tea, and the emperor's dispatch to the deserted barbarian land did not seem to affect his mood, he was leisurely dressed in a white coat of large velvet cocoon, looking at the steam slowly rising from the small stove, looking thoughtful.

"Childe, we're here." Liu Ruyi walked to the door and knocked on the door frame.

"Ruyi, you're here." Childe smiled and got up to greet him: "It's just in time, I have something to say to you, who is this?" He looked at Xu Laosan.

"This Brother Xu is a businessman in Jingshi, and he has admired the name of his son for a long time, so he came to visit." Liu Ruyi stretched out his hand to introduce it, he saw that Xu Laosan's face was a little red, he seemed to be a little restrained, and he was also a little inferior, which is understandable, although the son did not become a Beijing official, but after all, he was the royal champion, and he was famous in the world, and his status was so high that he didn't know where he was compared to a businessman who was full of copper smell.

"Mr. Liu, the little one greets you!" Xu Laosan was about to kneel down and salute as he spoke.

"No, no, it's all friends!" Liu Xu personally helped Xu Laosan up and said loudly: "I, Liu Xu, like to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, and my family is also full of friends, all of whom are guests!" If you want to make friends with me, take these meaningless gifts as soon as possible, and if you must do it, then our friends will not have to do it! ”

Liu Ruyi looked at Xu Laosan, this businessman seemed to have never received such a high-status civil official, so his expression was very excited: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Liu Lixian is a corporal, I only thought it was a legendary story, but I didn't expect this thing to be true!" As he spoke, he suddenly said solemnly: "Mr. went to Yizhou to pioneer, this businessman must be indispensable, if Mr. uses the small one, the small one is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

When he said this, Childe's eyes seemed to light up, and he only listened to him say slowly: "In my place, there is no level of municipal agriculture and industry, everyone is a class, and they are all striving for the ideal of Datong - oh, you may not have heard of this ideal of Datong......"

"Datong, the world is for the public, the selection of talents, the cultivation of faith, the completion of etiquette; Datong, revitalize agriculture, tithe, build water conservancy, and rectify the acres of land; Datong, support industry, attach importance to technology, invention subsidies, patent exclusivity; Datong, encourage commerce and trade, strictly collect taxes, clear accounts, and eliminate fraud......" Before Gongzi finished speaking, Xu Laosan recited endlessly, obviously reciting these words often.

These are the "Datong Theory" drafted by Gongzi himself, which talks about the development of Datong society, which has caused a certain repercussion in Daming, and Xu Laosan recited the first part of "Datong Economy".

Seeing Xu Laosan so familiar with his treatises, Childe seemed very happy: "It seems that you are a person with a heart!" That's it, I'll take a rare treasure out to test you, if you say it well, let's cooperate, and you will definitely have a chance to make a lot of money in the future! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Ruyi, who was used to seeing the world, was a little curious, what is the "rare treasure" in the child's mouth? (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
