With a "bang", Pan Chong threw a bamboo slip on the desk and said angrily: "See for yourselves, what kind of system it has become now." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the study, there are only Deng Shi and Zuo Er and Zhuo Er are fat and thin.

The second from the left and Zhuo Er looked down at the bamboo slips.

The fat man said from the left: "Now the etiquette is bad and the happiness is collapsing, many royal officials are living among the people, and private learning is rising, as long as you hand over a string of bacon, no matter how high or low, you can go to school, and it is normal for students to have all kinds of discussions." ”

"Now, the world is in turmoil, all countries are vying for power, and many monarchs hope to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and strive for hegemony, so they compete to recruit talents, so that many people abandon agriculture and become soldiers, just to be an official in the court in the future, or to show their ambitions. Before they entered the palace, they lectured everywhere, discussed the government and politics, and criticized each other, just to attract the attention of the people and pave the way for entering the palace. The thin man Zhuo Er said.

The fat man from the left continued: "Although these remarks recorded by Jian Shang are insulting to the Taishi, I think that the Taishi only makes the sound of mosquitoes and flies, so there is no need to pay attention to it. ”

"The sound of mosquitoes?" Deng Shi asked rhetorically: "Do you know where these mosquito and fly sounds come from?" ”

The fat and thin guests looked at Deng Shi and didn't make a sound.

"The sound of mosquitoes and flies you call comes from the countryside!" Deng Shi said.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the schools of the Western Zhou Dynasty were divided into national studies and township studies. Chinese studies and township studies are the main channels for cultivating officials at the central and local governments.

Guoxue is a school for the children of the upper class of nobility, which is divided into two levels: primary school and university.

Township school is a local school that enrolls children from 6 townships in the suburbs. According to the establishment of 6 townships and 6 sui in the "Zhou Li", the suburbs of the royal city and the capital of the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty were townships, and 6 townships were set up, including home, bi, lu, clan, party, and state; The suburbs are wild, and there are 6 homes, neighbors, li, drunk, contemptible, and counties. The commoners living in the 6 townships are called Guoren, and most of them are scholars or Shu, and their children have the right to enter the township school and receive education. And they dwelt in 6 and were slaves, and they were called savages. 6 There were no schools, and therefore the children of slaves were deprived of their right to education.

Due to the weakness of the Zhou regime and the depletion of financial resources, it was not easy to maintain the school, resulting in the scattering of academic officials, leading to the decline of academics and the rise of private learning.

The education of the Chu State imitated the Zhou system but was different from the Zhou system, and it was both rural and private learning.

"Wangcheng's township school was supposed to train talents for the government, but now it is discussing national politics and slandering the Taishi, which is to mess with me. If Taishi wants to grasp the power in the future, he must win the hearts of the people. But look at it, what Taishi doesn't care about the people's livelihood, for his own selfishness, and extorts violently...... Indulging in official corruption and bribery...... Prison Litigation Darkness ...... Wait a minute. Deng Shiyan said angrily: "Once these poisonous and confusing discussions spread, it will make the prestige of the Taishi plummet. ”

"If this is the case, we can arrange our own celebrities to pretend to be people to go to the township school to argue on the spot, and wash the pollution for the Taishi, anyway, a hundred schools of thought are contending, and we can also try to become a family." The fat man said second from the left.

The thin man Zhuo Er then said: "Moreover, we can also find someone in the township school to pick out Yin Chengjia's shortcomings and discuss it, and splash sewage on him, how about it?" ”

Pan Chong said with a gloomy face: "Talking about the government is also a doctor's business, and it is not the turn of these untouchables to talk nonsense." ”

"Taishi means ......" The fat man looked at Pan Chong and stopped talking.

"With Zhuo Er's method, it will only become a long-lasting scolding war, maybe it will be Chengjia's trap." Deng Shi said: "Only by using the power of the sword and blood to deter these people who don't know the height of the sky can the Taishi quickly calm down this matter." ”

"If this happens, it will arouse the resentment of the people, and maybe it will attract Cheng Jia to send troops to protect the people, which will raise Cheng Jia's prestige among the people." The fat man left was a little worried.

"I also think that this matter is inappropriate, some monarchs set up a special school palace, let people write books and establish schools, and argue with each other, if the Taishi slaughters the township school with blood, I am afraid that it will incur the reproach of various countries, and when the time comes, I am afraid that even the king of Chu will come forward to blame the Taishi, and the gains will outweigh the losses." The thin man Zhuoji also objected.

Hearing this, Pan Chong was also a little hesitant at this time.

Deng Shi smiled slightly and said: "It's okay for a hundred schools of thought to contend, but you must make up your mind: the Taishi is the only one!" This requires the strategy of the second from the left, arranging their own celebrities, pretending to be students to go everywhere to study and debate, and establish prestige for the Taishi. ”

Deng Shi took a breath and continued: "Isn't Zuo Er worried about arousing public anger and sending troops to Chengjia?" This requires our ingenuity! First find a few death row prisoners, put on the armor of the soldiers, and kill them when they enter the field, and we will say that someone has rebelled. The scene deliberately omitted the fragment of the Jin State Script, what is written on it, the second left and Zhuo Er can do their best.

Now, there are many scoundrels in the city, and there are few evil people in the alleys, and they are so brave and light to death, which is just for my use. Give some copper coins, let them provoke and fight in the crowd, breed troubles, and use soldiers because the township school has become a violent and wanton place that endangers the people, and what is the crime for the people?

In addition, you can also leave some weapons of the Jin Kingdom in the township school. We said to the outside world that the Taishi received a secret report that someone had rebelled, so he sent troops to quell the chaos. ”

As soon as Deng Shi's words were finished, the room was speechless.

Pan Chong immediately rewarded two Meiji and went with Deng Shi.

The prison lawsuit in which the musician in Chengjia's mansion killed the coachman of Pan's mansion has not yet been resolved. The musician did not admit to killing Pan Chong's coachman at all, so he stayed in Doufu all the time.

Although this musician does not have a high status, he is deliberately protected by Cheng Jia. Cheng Jia just wanted to take advantage of this matter and clearly tell Pan Chong that although you got the position of secretary, the judiciary of Chu State has not yet reached the point where you can cover the sky with one hand.

The general public regards the prison lawsuit between Doufu and Panfu as ornamental entertainment, because they are living too hard now, and they are helpless in front of the power of Cheng Jia and Pan Chong, and their resentment is difficult to express.

Because of the weakness of the king, the people became the meat of the powerful ministers.

At that time, the taxation laws of the Chu State were very imperfect, there was no separate legislation on taxation, and the fixity was not very strict. Taxation is obviously compulsory and gratuitous, it is difficult to do it regularly and quantitatively, and it is done entirely according to the will of the ruling class, without legalization. This gave the ministers an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Cheng Jia declared that agriculture is the supreme benefit of the country, and business is the small profit of private individuals. It was easy for merchants to make money, causing farmers to not plough the fields and tending to merchants, so the city tax in Wangcheng was doubled. And encourage the businessmen who denounce the theft and omission, and for a time, the businessmen who speculated a lot of money got a lot of people's wealth.

Pan Chong's eyes were red, and he secretly ordered the tax collector in charge of Tian Fu to increase the field tax. At that time, there was a difference in taxation. "Fu" means collecting money from the people for military spending. Pan Chong's "tax" was that the peasants paid agricultural products to the rulers in exchange for the protection of their land and personal safety.

Since the lion of the "central leadership" opened his mouth, the officials below were not far behind, and they all wanted to make money. What "tribute", "donation", "rent" and so on began, all kinds of complicated charges.

However, Zhong Wuregret Mingsong hurried and ignored the increasingly fierce battle between Cheng Jia and Pan Chong, he did not change his usual style, and still asked Doosan to go to the Qinglou for recreation.

As soon as they arrived at the door of a green building named "Yixin", they heard a man's roar from inside: "Do you pay this silver?" ”

A crisp female voice said: "I don't have what you said on my body, why should I pay the '** fee'?" ”

At this time, a slow voice said, "You're the girl who picked up the customer, right?" Although you don't have a ** on you, but, that thing, sometimes you don't have it, and there is, right? So the '** fee' we charge has been halved for you, and you should be content. ”

Zhong Wuregret and Doosan took a look when they entered the door, and saw two soldiers holding swords arguing with a girl in the "Yixin" building. There were several little girls standing behind the girl.

Seeing Zhong Wuregret, the girl rushed to him like a savior, hugged his arm and said: "Lord Zhong, you are here, you come to help us evaluate the theory, Yixinlou has just paid the 'donation fee', and now, what is the '** fee' for the two of them to ask our girl, how can there be such a reason in the world?" ”

Zhong Wuregret asked the two soldiers: "Who said that there is any '** fee' to be charged?" ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other, and knelt down for Zhong Wuregret with a "poof": "The little ones have no money to buy food at home, so they want to find some extra money, and I hope that the adults will raise their noble hands and spare the lives of the little ones." ”

Zhong Wuregret didn't want to get along with these two soldiers, he took out dozens of copper coins and handed them to them: "Take it and walk." ”

The two soldiers took the copper coin and thanked them and left.

Zhong Wuregret and Doosan had just gone upstairs with the girl from Yixin Building in their arms, when they heard the following shouting: "Mom, give me some tea money." ”

Zhong Wuregret took a look and saw a few so-called "Luxiang boys", which are now called gangsters, as soon as they entered the door, they asked the bustard for copper coins, and the bustard quickly took out a dozen copper coins and sent them away.

Zhong Wuregret saw this situation, and he didn't have the heart to stay with Doosan any longer, so he left in a hurry. Anyway, he asked Doosan to come out mainly for contact, and now that the matter has been done, there is no need to stay in the Qinglou.

Zhong Wuregret wanted to go to the market alone to learn about the people in Wangcheng today.

When Zhong Wuregret passed by a rural school, he heard a noisy argument coming from inside, he used to pass by here very quietly, because of some reason for a quarrel, he wanted to go in to see what was going on.

Anyway, it's okay, since he passed by the township school, Zhong Wuregret also wanted to learn about ancient education by the way.

When he came to the township school, he saw a large group of people surrounding the township school, and several people were fighting for blushing and thick necks.

One person said: "Now there are thieves outside the royal city, it is because the minister of state and the prince are expropriating violently, forcing the people to survive. ”

Another person said, "A gentleman should be courteous, know righteousness, and be loyal." Don't take risks just because you have corrupt officials. People cannot do anything to undermine the general interests of the state for the sake of losing their personal interests. ”

The person who spoke earlier continued: "We all like the strength and prosperity of the Chu State, and we like the strength of the Chu State because the strong and prosperous Chu State can bring us a comfortable life. But now, my family property has been looted by these officials, and I can't even eat enough, so what does it matter to me no matter how strong the Chu State is? ”

Someone in the crowd said, "We don't have enough to eat, but the Taishi's dogs eat better than us." ”

Another reckless man in the crowd said loudly: "It's difficult for us to find a woman, but the beautiful women in the Taishi's family are like clouds, and I can only ...... harm."

"What can I do?"

The reckless man muttered, "I can only find a sow to solve it." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, some people were a little dissatisfied with the casual talk of others, and said: "The township school is a place where students are taught the six virtues of knowledge, benevolence, holiness, righteousness, loyalty, and the six virtues. ”

"Well said!" Someone replied. Zhong Wuregret saw that there were two people who looked like doctors in the crowd.
