"Running a bookstore? Guang'er, the people outside who want to meet you are almost lining up outside the city, and you are actually nesting in the room ready to do business? Tang Shunzhi was not too surprised when he heard about Zheng Guang's grand career, he originally wanted to congratulate Zheng Guang, congratulate Zheng Guang on his great reputation, which is very good for the future, but he didn't expect to hear Zheng Jiang's barbell-like laughter as soon as he entered the house, Tang Shunzhi was very surprised, and after asking, he knew Zheng Guang's overall plan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's right, running a bookstore is not only elegant, but also the court does not collect taxes, it is actually the best foundation to gain fame and family inheritance, as for those people, they just want to transfer the land under their name to me to reduce taxes, if the whole Ming Dynasty follows the trend like this, within a hundred years, the court will have no agricultural taxes to collect, and the disadvantages are so great that it is difficult to describe." Zheng Guang thinks so.

And Tang Shunzhi is much more experienced, and he also has a deep feeling for the harm of officials and nobles not paying taxes, but since this is a rule set by Emperor Taizu, and it is also a privilege that all officials rely on, if it is hastily canceled, it will inevitably become the enemy of all officials.

Not to mention this, Tang Shunzhi heard Zheng Guang's plan, although his eyes lit up and he thought it was feasible, but he still raised a lot of practical problems: "Running a bookstore needs to be recognized by the government, if you run a bookstore in Suzhou Mansion, without the approval of the Suzhou prefect, it is absolutely impossible, although you are the head of the case that he personally ordered, but can he agree?" ”

Zheng Guang hadn't told Tang Shunzhi about his relationship with Fan Qing yet, and he only said it at this moment, which surprised Tang Shunzhi: "There is such a thing?" Oh, now, this level is passed, you kid, the luck is really good. ”

However, a big problem then caused Zheng Guang a big headache, and there was a slight deviation from what he expected, which made Zheng Guang worry.

Tang Shunzhi asked: "Selling books is very beneficial, you can see it, others are not stupid, naturally you can see it, your workbook is easy to use, there are many people who buy it, and naturally some people are red-eyed, how sure are you that no one will pirate it?" Not to mention Suzhou, the land of Jianyang is a famous place for piracy, and the booksellers of the whole Ming Dynasty hate it and are helpless, how can you get them? Those who are well cultivated will also use this trick to sell their own creative problem collections, and those who are not well cultivated will directly use the power to take advantage of the power, and the southeast land, this water, is very deep.

I don't participate in these things, so no one is against me, but the so-called hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is driven by profit, once it comes to these yellow and white things, there are many people who don't want to die, and there are many people who eat ugly looks. ”

Zheng Guang had already thought about these questions, so he quickly replied: "This is where students need the help of the teacher, the teacher must know many erudite Confucians, if the teacher can help students introduce those erudite Confucians, the students will have a way to say that they will work together to contribute money to the students' book shops, everyone can take out a little money to put it in, and everyone will share the dividends together, as long as the more power gathered, then, the more comprehensive this foundation can protect, they dare to start with the students, But he definitely didn't dare to attack so many famous Confucians. ”

Tang Shunzhi was surprised: "You not only want to count the teacher, but also all the friends around the teacher?" ”

Zheng Guang smiled embarrassedly: "The student believes that the teacher will not stand idly by!" ”

Contrary to Zheng Guang's expectations, Tang Shunzhi did not show the usual helpless smile after being pitted, but said with a really wry smile: "Guang'er, some things are not as easy as you imagined, many things, you have not experienced them, you just rely on imagination, but imagination is the most unreliable thing, as a teacher is not as good as you think, and they are also heart learners, and they may not necessarily help." ”

Zheng Guang was puzzled: "Can't the people of the Heart Sect be in the same breath?" Instead of killing each other? ”

Tang Shunzhi shook his head and said to Zheng Guang seriously: "Guang'er, do you know the specific situation of the Xinxue Sect at present? ”

Zheng Guang has never been exposed to these serious political issues related to the future, and Tang Shunzhi has never told him about these dark sides, it seems that now, Tang Shunzhi is going to explain some things, Zheng Guang realized it, sat upright, and said: "The student doesn't know, and ask the teacher to teach." ”

Tang Shunzhi said with a serious face: "Since the death of Yang Ming Gong, those Taoist scholars in the court have never relaxed the attack and oppression of us, they have gathered together in large numbers around Jinshang, and they can send their ideas to Heaven Hearing anytime and anywhere, and Yang Ming Gong's knowledge has been achieved in the border area, and it is difficult to reach Heaven Hearing, although there are also supporters and sympathetic people in the court, but its power is difficult to oppose Cheng Zhu Limen.

They persuaded Jinshang to ban and destroy the academies that teach Xinxue in the world, forbade us to spread Xinxue, vigorously suppressed officials who believed in Xinxue, and tried to completely eliminate us.

Why did the teacher abandon his official position and go into hiding? The world only knows that the teacher made a mistake, went to meet the prince, and committed the taboo today, so he was expelled, but they don't know who made it to the prince as a teacher! As a teacher at the beginning, he was also young and vigorous, and he couldn't think of these links at all, he was angry at the country's sluggishness, and his mind was dizzy in anger, so he fell into the road, and he was born in the Hanlin Academy, and he was qualified to worship the prime minister in the future.

But since then, the situation of the Xinxue sect has become more and more bad, and now even Xia Guixi's position as the first assistant is not very stable, Yan Fenyi has coveted the position of the first assistant for a long time, and he knows what he thinks today, Xia Guixi is a gentleman, how can he be the opponent of the villain? Once Xia Guixi goes to the prime minister, our situation is even worse, the teacher has a great reputation in the southeast, and can help you, but once you go to Beijing, once you are mentioned by the villain, the teacher is really worried and will hurt you!

What's more, the help you hope for, the mind scholar may not agree, it is really a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect himself, how can he protect you? Guang'er, they are all incompetent teachers, but if you have an official and a half position as a teacher, you can also help you, but now...... As a teacher, I can only hope that after you go to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination, you can meet a capable teacher who can protect you and protect you, as for the sale of books, don't mention it for the time being! ”

A heartfelt remark made Zheng Guang silent for a long time, Tang Shunzhi's words undoubtedly pulled him back from the fantasy world to the real world, yes, he was a little careless, just came back from the cruel battle, did he unconsciously indulge in false peace? The blood and fire, conspiracy and betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty have been forgotten so quickly? Comfortable life has been lived for a long time, and it has fallen so quickly? Forget that you had to sleep in armor and sword in your hand, dealing with the pain of the Assassins?

For the sake of profit and life, the closest people can also betray each other, so how can you find allies in this profit-oriented officialdom and vanity fair, where there are not enough interests as temptations? It's too naïve, too naïve, to think that you can achieve it with just a passion and a lofty goal.

Now Zheng Guang suddenly realized that during the years of the Great Song Dynasty, he had never used any means of profit to induce more people to follow him, and Kublai Khan could not defeat Zheng Guang on the battlefield, but he was always able to divide and break his alliance, repeatedly causing civil strife in the ranks, and finally burying the great cause of resisting the Yuan.

Now I realize that the biggest mistake I have made, I have never been able to distinguish between interests and feelings, Zheng Guang has always believed that interests can be covered by feelings, and the firmest alliance is definitely born in the most sincere feelings, and now, Zheng Guang suddenly realized that there is no alliance born from feelings, the strongest alliance is definitely oriented to interests, and the solidity of the alliance is to see how strong and lasting the consistency of the interests of both parties is!

People can be emotionally oriented and eventually united, but it is impossible for any group to be united with another group purely emotionally, because people are fickle!

Kublai Khan lured Zheng Guang's most trusted people, several times put Zheng Guang in an extremely dangerous situation, Zheng Guang asked the reason, all of them were fame and fortune that Zheng Guang could not understand at that time, in Zheng Guang's heart, the national righteousness of the country is above everything, but now Zheng Guang realizes that not everyone will think like this, and even, few people will think like this, they always only focus on their own interests, and the national righteousness will be paid attention to under the premise that their own interests are not harmed.

Citizens can die for the country, provided that their families will be taken care of well, although their patriotism cannot be denied because of this, but how many people can really give up their families for the country?

"I see." Zheng Guang opened his mouth to say these four words, and the guilt and helplessness in Tang Shun's heart deepened, and he was just about to say something, but he heard Zheng Guang continue: "Even so, it doesn't matter, teacher, can you introduce these virtuous Confucians to students?" There is no need for the teacher to do anything, just take the students to meet them, and that's it. ”

Tang Shun was stunned: "Guang'er, what do you want to do?" ”

Zheng Guang opened his mouth and said, "Alliance." ”
