"The difference?" He Yinzin smiled faintly and said, "There is no need for Your Excellency to say the difference, we naturally know it." The inmates of Guozijian only know how to play and have fun, do not practice the principles of sages, and do not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can they compare with the people of our Xun Literature Society? ”

"Fart!" Jiang Xia said this again.

He Yinzhen finally couldn't help it, his brows tightened, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Then please tell Brother Jiang how we can't compare to this group of prisoners of the country." ”

"Humph! There is basically no place where you can compare. Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yunqing and said, "Aren't you known as one of the five great talents?" Don't you want to compare? Let's compare. ”

Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Wenbo, "Wenbo, you compare with him!" ”

Wang Wenbo was slightly stunned, he was very good at learning in the heavenly class, but if he wanted to compare with Li Yunqing, I am afraid he still had a long way to go. Wang Wenbo looked at Jiang Xia with some embarrassment and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, this"

Li Yunqing smiled lightly, dusted off his sleeves and said, "Okay, then please ask Brother Tai to listen to my Shanglian." ”

"Wait a minute." Jiang Xia suddenly stopped.

"What? I don't dare to compare. Li Yunqing sneered.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "What else do you have besides pairs?" Who said they were going to match you against each other? I want Wenbo to compare with you the "Daming Tax Law"! ”

"Daming tax law?" Wang Wenbo's eyes lit up when he heard this, he is the grandson of the household servant, and he is really familiar with the Daming tax law. Hearing Jiang Xia say that it was better than this, Wang Bo suddenly gained confidence, and his whole body puffed up his chest.

If you don't compare the pairs, even if you compare the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Li Yunqing will not be afraid of the prisoners of the Guozijian, but suddenly heard Jiang Xia say that the tax law is better than the Ming Dynasty, Li Yunqing suddenly felt a little difficult, where does he know what the Daming tax law looks like, the so-called two ears do not listen to things outside the window, and only read the sage books. Where does he need to worry about paying taxes at home?

"What? Don't dare to compare? Jiang Xia turned his head to Wang Wenbo and said, "Wenbo, you first tell him a paragraph of the Ming tax law." ”

"Okay." Wang Wenbo nodded: "My Daming Tian Fu implements the two-tax law, that is, according to the land contained in the Yellow Book, the tax is levied according to the mu, and it is paid twice in summer and autumn; The summer tax shall not exceed August, and the autumn tax shall not exceed February of the following year. The so-called yellow book is based on the unit of li, according to the amount of grain in order"

Speaking of the Daming tax law, Wang Wenbo immediately began to talk eloquently, and his words were clear. Speaking of the latter, Wang Wenbo even filled in a few sentences of his own views on the tax law of the Ming Dynasty on a whim, and pointed out that the implementation of the two tax laws has not been able to keep up with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's taxation, and it is in urgent need of innovation.

Hearing Wang Wenbo say this, Jiang Xia was taken aback. He knows the Ming tax law, and the current two tax laws are due to the collusion between officials and landlords, and the lack of updating of the enslavement code, so the Ming Dynasty is now very serious in tax evasion. This problem was alleviated by Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" in the following Wanli years.

"Alright." Jiang Xia stopped Wang Wenbo from continuing, he turned his head to look at Li Yunqing and the others and said, "How? Which of the five of you can come up and compare? ”

"Also, don't you want to compare? Liang Wenhan, you came out and told them about the six major positions of the Ming Dynasty, and also told them what their respective responsibilities were. ”

"Yes!" Liang Wenhan was excited, as the grandson of the servant of the ministry, he was very familiar with such a question, because basically these are things that he has been exposed to since he was a child. Liang Wenhan stood on a red and swollen pig's head, straightened his waist and walked up and said: "The six parts are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry.

Like Wang Wenbo, Liang Wenhan also spoke in a clear manner, and the people around him understood what it meant as soon as they heard it.

Halfway through his speech, Jiang Xia stopped him from continuing, and at the same time, Jiang Xia looked at Li Yunqing, He Yinzin and the other five and asked, "How?" Do you want to compare? ”

"This talent competition, has always been compared to poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can there be anything like these?" Li Yunqing said unconvinced.

Jiang Xia laughed twice, shook his head lightly and said, "Let me ask you, where do you come from?" You don't need to answer, I'll tell you for you. To be noble, it is called asking for the people's lives and seeking the well-being of the people. To put it bluntly, it is to be an official.

You people, you are good at learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are also very familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. But is it possible to become an official in this way?

None of you understand the tax law, so how can you tax after becoming an official? One by one, you don't know the duties of local officials, and you don't understand the subordinate relationship between the top and bottom of the Ming officialdom. So how do you know what you should and shouldn't do after becoming an official?

I seem to have seen what you look like after you became officials, one by one, you indiscriminately levied harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and all day long you only knew that you were going to play and sing poems against each other, which made no contribution to the society and did not benefit the people's livelihood. I would like to ask all the fathers and fellow villagers present, do you want such an official? ”

"I don't want it, I don't want it" The people around him had already been attracted by Jiang Xia's reasoning of advancing layer by layer, so they shouted one after another.

Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry are nothing more than a joke in their leisure time for the people, and they pay more attention to taxes and people's livelihood. Now that Xun Literature Society is comparing with Guozijian, it is obvious that the people of Guozijian know these things better. At this moment, the people who originally came to join in the fun slowly had an object of support, that is, the prisoners of the country.

Jiang Xia's hands were pressed weakly, and the shouts of the people slowly lowered.

Jiang Xia pointed to the people behind him, and said solemnly: "Listen, you so-called talents of the Xun Literature Society. These people standing behind me are the future of Daming and the hope of Daming. When you are learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to win a smile from beautiful people, and when the Bosch people are named talents, these people behind me are silently learning the Ming Dynasty taxation, the Ming criminal law, and the Ming official positions.

They have never competed with you for fame and fortune, and they have never told the world about their hard work. They still insist on what you say they are scum and never refute it. What is this for? Because they know that everything they do is meaningful, and they are working hard for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

You bullshit geniuses still dare to come to the Guozijian to challenge, and you will order some sour poems and songs, so I think it's amazing. I can say very responsibly, you are not worthy of lifting shoes for the prisoners of our country, if the future officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is all people like you, what hope does the Ming have for it? What is the guarantee for the livelihood and well-being of the people in the world? ”

"Get out!" Jiang Xia roared, stretched out his hand and pointed to the three big characters of "Jixian Gate" on the plaque behind him and said: "You are not worthy to stand under these three words, get out of me!" ”

"Get out! Get lost! Roll"

The prisoners of the Guozijian have finally broken out. They have never felt that they are so great for a moment, and they have never thought that they are the real Ming future. Entering the Guozi Prison, these prisoners originally just wanted to be gilded with a layer of gold, so that they could blend into the officialdom and become an official in the future. In the hearts of the prisoners, they actually knew that they were inferior to academics like Xun Literature Society.

But now through Jiang Xia's words, everyone felt that they had been injected with a breath of qi in their hearts. In particular, Jiang Xia said how noble they were, never fighting for fame and fortune or refuting them, but just silently studying and dedicating silently. Ah, I was moved by myself, and the prisoners thought silently to themselves.

At this moment, the prisoners of Guozijian looked at Jiang Xia's back, and suddenly felt that the back was so tall and so admirable.

Liang Wenhan stood beside Jiang Xia and held Wang Wenbo's hand tightly, and he said excitedly: "Wenbo, never, never, I have never felt that I have ever been so useful." It turns out that those so-called scholars are just bullshit, what Brother Jiang said is too right, letting them be officials is a scourge to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang Wenbo also nodded excitedly, his lips trembled and said, "I think so too, what Brother Jiang said is really good." I really hate myself for meeting him so late, I think what he said I suddenly opened, I decided, from today onwards, I must work hard, strive to do what Brother Jiang said, work hard for the future of the Ming Dynasty, and seek the well-being of the people. ”

"That's right! Jiang Xia is right, the students of our Guozijian are the best, and what we teach is not a group of gentlemen, but the real future of the Ming Dynasty. Si Ye Ma Chao was also excited, and even with that group of doctors, he was also high-spirited.

At this moment, not only the prisoners of Guozijian are telling the people of the Xun Literature Society to get out, but even the surrounding people are telling them to get out. Everyone thinks what Jiang Xia said is too reasonable, can poetry and poetry govern the world? Can Qinqi, calligraphy and painting reduce taxes?

Only those who know how to pay taxes will reduce their taxes, and only those who know what they have to do will do things well. The people don't understand any big truths, but they only need to understand these simple truths.

The people of the Xun Literature Society had not yet reacted to how they had offended the anger of the people, and they left like lost dogs under the shouts and pushes of the people. And the girls who were still watching before sighed: "I think that Jiangxia is really good, it turns out that we have always misunderstood the people of Guozijian before, it turns out that they are the real talents." ”

"That's right, but I think I'm already concerned about Jiangxia. Only a man like him is what I dream of, who can recite poetry, is proficient in Danqing calligraphy, and can also support the community and work for the well-being of the people. Ah, he's so perfect. ”

Hearing this exclamation, Jiang Xia immediately looked over with a slightly melancholy look, and at that glance, he found that the person who said this was actually a close relative of the second senior brother of Wu Neng, Jiang Xia quickly shrank his head and said loudly: "Brothers, let's go back to the school and continue to study hard!" ”

"Yes! Study hard! The prisoners of the Guozi Prison shouted in unison.
