Chapter 1038: Jishi-sang

With the "Daming Election Law" read through the third time in the Constituent Assembly and submitted to the Daming Palace for a holy ruling, Jiangnan Shilin, which was not stable in the first place, finally boiled. The scholars published a long article in the newspaper they controlled, citing scriptures to explain that they were shouldering the great responsibility of establishing the lives of thousands of people, so they must not allow traitors in the court and China to hand over the power of political affairs to businessmen who only know only profit.

After seeing that Emperor Zhu's attitude was more restrained, even more excessive rhetoric was also spoken, and now some people have shouted the slogan of "Scholars' Parliament", which wants to change the existing Constituent Assembly and local public bureaus into the so-called "Scholars' Parliament", and the Shilin leaders will control and exercise the power to assist the emperor in governing the country and the system and laws...... Of course, the reason is very magnificent, when you are an emperor, you should not speak for profit or fight for profit, and be a holy king.

At the beginning of the 10th year of the liberation, the protests of the scholars and doctors finally began to spread to the bureaucracy, and a group of middle- and lower-level civil officials led by Li Hongzao, a bachelor of the university, Sun Jianai, an academician of the Hongru Academy, and Xu Gengshen, an academician of Lin'an Zhi County, successively wrote to impeach the Constituent Assembly, asking Zhu Jishi to dissolve it. After the failure, Li Hongzao, Sun Jianai and Xu Gengshen took the lead in resigning in protest, and immediately became the leader of Shilin who was worth a hundred times, and the group of imitators, thousands of them for a while, although the Jiangnan officialdom was not empty, but it was also an unprecedented situation since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

And Luo Zenan, who presided over the court bureau after Zuo Zongtang went out of Beijing to do business, was at a loss for the development of the situation. He did not dare to stand on the side of the scholar and put pressure on Zhu Jishi. did not dare to order the magistrates of Yingtian, Nanzhi and Zhejiang to suppress the scholars...... In fact, that's what he ordered. The magistrates below may not dare to do so. The Ming Dynasty practiced that locals were local officials. Those Jiangnan magistrates below the prefecture level are simply members of Jiangnan Shilin. How dare they do such a thing that offends the township?

In short, at the end of the ninth year of the liberation and the beginning of the tenth year of the liberation, the scholars and doctors in Jiangnan have made the greatest efforts to protect their vested interests for thousands of years. Of course, some of these scholars sold themselves to Emperor Zhu, but as a whole class, their position is still very firm - their class. It is not yet completely declining, and it is actually natural to fight for one's own special interests. And the class that Zhu Jishi believes can be cultivated to restrain them, of course, must have the courage to stand up at this time. Zhu Jishi's bayonet could wash Jiangnan Shilin in blood, but there was no way to turn China's emerging bourgeoisie into a powerful political clique with bayonets, and it could only cause the military to soar and dominate...... Since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jishike has been working hard to control the expansion of military power. In his thoughts, it is best for the army not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he will once dominate Bintian. If this Ming country can't do it well, it will become the world of guns.

Therefore, in this fight with the Jiangnan gentry group. Zhu Jishi really doesn't use much force. Oh, the crowd beating the crowd doesn't count. It is said that it is a misunderstanding for this good guy to fight a good guy, it is right for a good guy to fight a bad guy, and it is useless for a bad guy to beat a good guy, as for the bad guy to beat the bad guy...... Well, it looks like that's going to happen now!

On the Bund, the most prosperous and expensive city in Shanghai, on the north bank of the Wusong River (where the Shanghai Mansion is now located), there is a luxuriously decorated five-story building with the sign of "Jishi Alumni Association". This is probably the most awesome and richest class reunion in the world!

The Jishi University opened by Zhu Jishi 12 years ago is now really full of peach and plum in the world, and there are more than 10,000 Jishi students who have graduated, and nearly 8,000 are in school. Don't look at the small number of people, but the energy of these Jishi classmates is really unimaginable, at least beyond the imagination of Jiangnan Shilin and the Ming ministers, probably only their "eternal principal and mentor" Zhu Jishi knows how much power these people have. 10,000 Jishi classmates are enough to overturn millions of scholars in the entire Jiangnan to the ground and step on them again.

This estimate is not an exaggeration at all, just look at who these early 10,000 Jishi students are - more than half of the senior managers in almost all Western-style commercial banks in Daming are Jishi students; The best lawyers in Daming are all from Jishi University; Seven or eight out of ten of the best doctors, engineers, and directors of large factories in Daming are also classmates; The senior Chinese teaching and research staff in the Western-style universities, junior colleges, and colleges of the Ming Dynasty are almost all Jishi students; Daming's not very large team of scientists is also composed of Jishi classmates. It can be said that if these 10,000-year-old Jishi classmates suddenly disappeared from the Ming Dynasty, the industry and commerce of the Ming Empire would be paralyzed immediately, and the whole country would return to the Qing Dynasty overnight. And if those hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan scholars disappear...... The poor middle peasants in Jiangnan don't know who to give their rents to?

In short, Zhu Jishi did not train his Jishi classmates to become revolutionaries to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but gave them the best university education in the world in this era, and educated each of them into a real elite - of course, the elite, always those nasty guys with eyes on the top of their heads, who no one looked down on except themselves and Emperor Zhu. The top figures among these classmates gathered in the Jishi Alumni Association today are even more so, and in their eyes, the hundreds of thousands of scholars in Jiangnan are completely stupid poor ghosts and stupid frogs at the bottom of the well.

"What? These poor sours want to set up a council of scholars and ride on our heads, what do they know? Do they know what is in the world, will they develop industry, develop the economy? Do they really think that they can rule the world by relying on half of the Analects? ”

"Snort, even if it's not worse than the Analects, who can't memorize it? Just know this kind of big truth, but these people can't get in and out, they are completely stupid, and now they have to govern the world, isn't this to let the people of the world be stupid with them? ”

"These people are a bunch of fools, poor ghosts! I can't even pay a tax of 10 yuan, and I have to pay 12 yuan a year to buy a carriage. If these people don't hurry up to New Oriental and Lanxiang to learn the ability to make money, they still want to rule the world, there must be something wrong with their brains! ”

Looking at a group of angry classmates, Pan Zuyin, Wang Tao, Liang Jingquan, Xu Yingqi, Li Duandi and Zhao Liewen, the leaders of the six classmates who had a hard backstage exchanged glances with each other. Although there are less than 500 students in this hall, none of these students are fuel-efficient lamps, and with their support, a Western-style political party can emerge in the blink of an eye...... And it's about money, money, and people!

With the net worth of these people, a donation of 10,000 silver dollars is not a big deal at all! With the human resources they control, it is not a problem to mobilize 100,000 people to fight against Jiangnan Shizi! If all the forces of Jishi students are mobilized, tens of millions of donations and millions of people can be mobilized immediately. The entire Jiangnan Shilin, compared with them, is a joke!

Pan Zuyin picked up a bell, shook it lightly, and said loudly: "Students! As you all know, our country is at a critical juncture, and some corrupt scholars who are about to lose their political and economic privileges have organized themselves to challenge our country and our emperor, and to drag China back into the closed, dark, corrupt, and hopeless Middle Ages.

Of course, our Emperor and Headmaster had enough strength to crush them, but he didn't, because he wanted to see us, Jishi-san, his students and the foundations of the mantle, step up to defend our country and our future! If we fail to do this now, retreat in front of those ignorant, ignorant, and weak enemies, how can we claim to be classmates of the world! (To be continued......)
