Chapter 685 How could this be?
When the checkout left the teahouse, there were no guests downstairs, and the shopkeeper looked at the back of the departure, and said loudly to the guy: "Remember the appearance of these people, next time they come again, they will not be allowed to enter the door." This kind of person's business, just don't do it. β
The guy agreed and said simply: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, the little one has long been written down and can't be forgotten." β
The sound was very loud, like an awl, and it pierced the hearts of a line of people. Subconsciously stopped, Du Dengchun came back angrily, stood at the door and roared: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean?" "The previously suppressed dissatisfaction and anger, his father couldn't hold it back, so he had to explain it to the shopkeeper of this teahouse.
The shopkeeper sneered: "You are scholars, you are masters, naturally you can't be provoked, so it's better to hide." I am a trader, the wind comes and goes in the rain, I get up early and are greedy for profit, and I can't compare to the ten fingers of the old man who do not touch the spring water. I have a scale in my heart, and I am also doing business, before Chen Gebu came to Jiangnan, although I didn't have to pay commercial taxes, but all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes continued. The business of the eldest master's family, naturally there is no need to worry about this, those of us who do small business can be regarded as suffering. And now? As long as you pay the taxes in full, you won't have any other troubles all year round, and you can do your own business with peace of mind and live your own kid's life. You want to go back in time, we don't. β
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the faces of the group turned blue, and at this time, the guy standing on the side also spoke: "Everyone, let's go, don't make trouble here." We are all ordinary people, not to mention that life is better now, but to say that this family has no family or relatives, and has a big belly disease and was cured by the hospital opened by Chen Gebu? How many people in Jiangnan have the immortal tablet of Chen Gebu's family, do you know? This hospital not only treats diseases, but also tells everyone how to prevent diseases, and there is no medical team to go down to the fields to treat the people one day in these years. Help kill the snails? The money for the potion alone is gone. These are all the silver from the Chen Ge Department, ladies and gentlemen, who will care about the life and death of our ordinary people? Look at those factories again, how many people's daughters can go in and do a job. Earn a piece of silver to help support the family, without Chen Gebu, can you have a good life today? I don't know if you have a conscience, but my parents taught me since I was a child that you have to have a conscience. β
The young man is not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old, and his sharp words are speechless. There is no comparison between Jiangnan in the past and Jiangnan today. It used to be a good life for the old man. In the same way, the people ate chaff.
After the guy finished speaking, the shopkeeper made up the knife again: "It's not too early, don't talk nonsense with them, hurry up and prepare, the bag bearers on the dock are coming to lunch." They have time to spend with this, and we still have to earn money to support our families, so don't ask the owner to reprimand them when we go back. β
The group went silently, and the father and son of the Du family looked lost and depressed. When he comes, the young talent who is proud of the spring breeze is faltering when he walks. Wu Meicun and Chen Zilong's expressions were also solemn. It's not hard to see how they're feeling at the moment.
At this time, the coachman hired by the Du family's father and son appeared, put down the two silver yuan after saluting, and said lightly: "I'm sorry everyone, you don't do your business, it's not that you don't think the silver is too little, but I'm worried about doing your business." In the future, he was drowned by spitting stars in this new Huating New District. Then the coachman departed, returned to the carriage, and drove the horses away.
The group fell into a stupor from which they could not extricate themselves, how could such a thing still happen? Seeing this, Xia Yunyi stepped forward and sighed: "The county government is not far away. Let's go rest first, and I'll arrange the carriage and horses later. β
Today's events, the blow to these people can be described as heavy, the group of people can't lift their spirits, in the past in the countryside to call for wind and rain, high up, but today was sprayed by a group of lower riba people. And there is no room to fight back, I really can't understand how these subordinates who should be submissive to them dare to treat them like this?
What's wrong with this world?
When walking along the wide and smooth road to the county office, the officials who followed behind did not have a good face for them, and looked at their backs coldly, as if they had a grudge against these big men.
"If there is no carriage, there is no sedan chair?" Du Dengchun was young after all, and complained.
Xia Yunyi looked at the young junior bitterly after hearing this, and said lightly: "There is a carriage in this county, but it has been arranged to send those teachers." The virtuous nephew worked hard for a few steps. "That being said, it's noon, and walking in the scorching sun of late summer isn't really a good thing. The sun at the end of June was poisonous and could kill people, and after a while, everyone was covered in sweat. Xia Yunyi, who was in official uniform, was calm, and seemed to be used to such things, and the others were a little unbearable. Wu Meicun raised his hand and said, "Take a break and take a breath." β
Xia Yunyi turned back to the official and said, "Come on, go to the ice drink shop on the side of the road to buy some ice to eat." A reluctant, muttering and complaining and leaving, the order given by the team leader, it is really not good not to go. Unexpectedly, the complaining face of this official went, but when he came back, he had a smile on his face, and said to Xia Yunyi: "Back to the eldest lord, the shopkeeper of the ice drink shop said that he would not do the business of these lords." "It's a good thing not to go out! What happened in the teahouse, in less than a moment, the entire Huating New District shop pΓΉ seemed to know, did the people who did business stop doing their business?
When did the dignified old man who read become a street rat in Daming? The group was stunned again, they couldn't imagine such a result at all, how could this be, how could it be like this? This is Jiangnan, the place where the gentry power is the most powerful.
"These pariahs, how dare they do this?" Du Dengchun was furious and roared. Du Linzheng immediately scolded: "Shut up, Shaft, have you caused less trouble?" The group continued to walk forward, and it took half an hour before and after to reach the county office, and the whole distance was only three miles, which indirectly reflected the length of the streets in Huating New District and the ability of these old men to walk.
"Brother Yi Zhong, how long is the street in this Huating New District?" Chen Zilong has been coming down, and his focus is different. For Xia Yunyi, he also used his brother. In fact, the relationship between the two has always been good, and they are both members of several societies. Today, Xia Yunyi took the risk of offending Chen Xie and came in, and everyone was grateful in their hearts. As for Xia Yunyi, he has a backbone, and his discipline value is also full, even if he has nothing to do with Chen Xie's affairs today, he will not stand idly by. Some of you here may not think so. Looking at the ten-mile long street, Xia Yunyi said lightly: "When the new district was first built, it was the main street of the ten-mile long street when it was planned, and it has been continuously extended in the past two years. β
Chen Zilong silently looked at the far end of the street and said with emotion: "In the past, it was just a barren beach and reeds, but today it has become a bustling city. Traveling all over Daming, only Dengzhou can compete with Huating New District. Chen Zilong still said this, he had traveled to study all over the world, traveled a lot of places, and witnessed the difficulties of the lives of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.
"Wozi, don't be emotional, let's go in." Xia Yunyi rarely smiled, Chen Zilong is not a sour person, he has always admired it. Chen Zilong suddenly said at this moment: "In the second year of the first emperor, Chen Sihua was born since then, and wherever he walked, the people all thought of him. Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Jiangbei, Huguang, these places have been to Xia and have learned about the local people's views on Chen Sihua. Since the Yang Ming Dynasty, the direction of education has gone to extremes, blindly paying attention to self-cultivation, all of his own virtues, and ignoring the suffering of the world. Stealing is contrary to the teachings of the saints. Today, the words and deeds of Xinghai are all in line with the needs of the saints, the world is the same, and everyone is public. β
Chen Zilong is really a kind person, this will remember the Book of Rites in the "Avenue of the Journey, the world for the public, the selection of talents and ability, the letter and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, not only sons and sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, widows, lonely and disabled people are all raised; Men have a share, women have a home, the goods are evil and they don't have to hide in themselves, and the evil ones don't have to come out of the body and don't have to be for themselves. β
In fact, Confucius also said: "If the Tao is not good, take the pole to float in the sea." The meaning of this is, in the vernacular, that we can't play here, so we will go out to sea by boat and go somewhere else to continue mingling. is at odds with the world, and it can be seen that there are many contradictions between Kong Lao Er. Just as on the one hand, he clamored that there was no class, and on the other hand, he was ruthless and ruthless.
The group was stunned again at the moment, silently thinking about the content of Chen Zilong's words in their minds. Just like that, in fact, everyone's mind is different. Confucianism has always been good at change, and the Confucianism of the late Ming Dynasty has long been not the original meaning of Confucius and Mencius, and many words have been distorted according to the needs of reality. To put it mildly, even the officially recognized "Mencius" is an abridged version, can you still believe that there will be an original flavor?
Without pandering to the rulers, how can there be "dethroned Confucianism"? Lu Ru in the early Han Dynasty, how bullish he did not give Liu Bang face, Liu Bang, who was born as a hooligan, when he came to visit with the army, he knelt down collectively and coaxed.
Under the scorching sun at noon, some people are sweating coldly, and some people are surging a hot current in their hearts, if you can seize this opportunity to explain from Chen Zilong's point of view, can you incorporate Chen Gebu into the so-called Confucian system and become one of them?
Really don't underestimate the progress of Confucianism! The biggest feature of this thing is that it is very adaptable, I haven't seen Du Nima in the 21st century, are there still people frying Confucianism's cold rice? It's nothing more than catering to the will and coming up with some new Confucian interpretations.
Discipline and thinking, many times change according to the needs of the times. (To be continued......) R1292
