Chapter 252: Suffering from Inequality (I)

For the case of thousands of people, the trial would have ended long ago, but now: it has just begun, and a large number of people have discussed it, and they are even more happy when they win the lift

Sun Baoya walked blankly on the street, her legs were weak.

He was born in a family of eunuchs, he was born in a local noble family, his grandfather was a magistrate, and his father was also admitted to the exam.

When he was young, he traveled and absorbed a lot of new ideas and political views, because of his excellent talent and learning, so after the township examination, he gradually gained a reputation, and when it came to the examination, he actively contacted people from various provinces, and gave speeches and conversations.

Gradually, hundreds of people gathered around him, and there were sixteen people in the core, and the scenery was infinite for a while, so there were thousands of people who wrote to change the law.

But unexpectedly, after a decree from the imperial court, his fame was completely removed, and there were four words on it, "never hired", which means that not only can he not be an official, but it is impossible for any official organization to hire him in the future

Li Ya, Zheng Taoyi, Wei Pei, Yang Ya, Jiang Yuxuan, etc., who were excited to consider changing the law that day, saw him, as if they had seen a ghost, politely smiled awkwardly, bowed their hands as a courtesy, and only didn't see it politely

It's hot, and there's nothing worse than that

However, how can I go back and explain to my family?

At this time, it was already early summer, and after walking on the street for an unknown amount of time, Sun Baoya realized that it was noon, he subconsciously touched his sleeves, and there were three silver tickets of ten silver yuan, as well as two silver yuan

This bit of money. In the country. Available for the first half of the year. But in the imperial capital. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for ten days.

Sun Baoya was hungry. I found a noodle shop at random. I ordered a bowl of noodles.

A moment later. A girl came up with a big bowl of egg noodles. Sun Baoya looked. I saw that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Wear a moon-white dress. The pulp is washed cleanly. The face is quite beautiful.

It's on the surface. Sun Baoya gulped down. I heard shouting outside, "Sell newspapers." Sell newspapers. Today I will try to come out! ”

In fact, there have been newspapers in China for a long time. This is Di Bao

It was founded more than 2,000 years ago in the early Western Han Dynasty. Regularly convey official documents such as the emperor's edicts, edicts, and ministers' recitals, as well as relevant political information such as court events. This is the background of the birth of "Di Bao".

Originally copied by the imperial court, and then posted in the palace gate, the public copied, so it is also called "palace gate copy" and "Yuan door copy", to the Song Dynasty, there was a special copy of the newspaper, and printed, in order to sell the profit-making merchants. Officials are willing to spend some money to buy it in order to save trouble.

As early as the time of the Changzhi Emperor, movable lead printing was widely used to publish, publish and deliver Beijing newspapers

However, the real news newspaper only appeared after the new emperor ascended the throne in the past few years, and it was not run by the emperor, but only set up an information bureau to manage the newspaper, which changed from a private to a semi-official background

With open permission, news newspapers flourished in recent years, and five newspapers competed with each other at once

When Sun Baoya heard this, her heart ached, but she still shouted: "Come on!" ”

"Okay, this gentleman, two pennies a piece!" The newspaper seller hurriedly stepped forward, Sun Baoya found two copper plates on his body, threw them up, took them out and looked at them carefully, turned them over, and found them.

The newspaper published the before and after of this book, and included the opinion of the place of disposition, and his name was prominently listed on it.

I saw it, I was at a loss, now everyone knows it, everyone avoids it, what will I do in the future?

After eating the noodles, putting away the newspaper, and giving the money, he paced down the street with a somewhat dull gaze, looking calm on the outside, but he knew that he had lost his bearings.

When the rain fell, he came back to his senses, and realized that it had become cloudy at some point, and the dark clouds were rolling above, and the sky was dark and dark, and the people in the streets had fled one after another.

He also hurriedly took refuge under an eaves, and before he passed, he saw the rain falling.

I heard the shopkeeper shouting from afar: "It's raining heavily, close the windows quickly, hurry, don't get wet!" ”

Sun Baoya breathed a sigh of relief, under the eaves couldn't avoid the heavy rain, the wind blew the rain on her body, and she shivered for a while, and half of her clothes were wet

At this moment, there was a sudden "huh" from the other side: "Sun Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

In a blink of an eye, it was a young man, holding an oil umbrella, but it was Yang Hongling, who he knew before

Treat the people of Beijing very enthusiastically, invite a few banquets, can also say some literature, some poems, although Sun Baoya was polite on the surface, in fact, he still looks down on it, but now he ......

Sun Baoya moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but the self-esteem of the scholar stopped him, but his heart was blank, with some embarrassment.

Yang Hongling stepped forward, stretched out the oil umbrella to block the wind and rain, his expression was a little gloomy, and he muttered: "I have already read about Sun Gongzi's affairs in the newspaper...... Sun Gongzi, you are indeed a little wrong, the major affairs of the court should be in accordance with the rules...... In fact, it's just that you are reading the book yourself, and there is nothing, how can you gather thousands of people to read the book? Is this playing the emperor, or persecuting the emperor? Besides, the emperor is only seventeen, and he is young and vigorous......

Hearing this, Sun Baoya was like being pricked by a needle, a spirit, woke up, seemed to understand everything in his heart, he trembled slightly, and was distracted by the rain, and only after a while, he said: "That's true, I've lost my sense of proportion!" ”

But the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to regret it, so I was stunned, and I heard Yang Hongling say: "The matter has come to this, I don't know what Sun Gongzi has planned?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, he said sincerely: "Sun Gongzi is talented, we all know, if there is no such thing, a Jinshi and the first must have, late born without talent, there are two sons, it is the time of enlightenment, Sun Gongzi has nowhere to go for a while, why don't you come to my house, I will let my son toast, and then make plans later?" ”

Generally, enlightenment teachers are not really teachers, they are hired to teach, they are considered tutors, but they are completely different when they toast with their teachers, they are really teachers, teachers for one day, fathers for life, and the main family is on an equal footing, which is not insulting.

At this time, there was still someone to take care of, Sun Baoya's heart was hot, and she said with a reluctant smile: "I didn't expect that there would be Brother Yang at this time...... Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

"In that case, Mr. Sun, please come in together!" As he spoke, he pointed to a carriage.

In the rain, the two got into the carriage and disappeared into the street in a blink of an eye.

There was a rain in the imperial capital, and it seemed that the heat of early summer had disappeared, but it only brought coolness

Prime Minister Dafan is a product

Dafandi's working hours are seven o'clock, there is a meal in the imperial court at noon, as for the cabinet, there is a special kitchen to serve, and in the afternoon, Qin Haozhong does not have to stay in the cabinet.

Qin Haozhong returned to the house, the soldiers in front of the door saluted, and in the gatehouse, there happened to be a steward Zhang, seeing the sedan chair falling, he hurriedly opened the sedan curtain for Qin Haozhong and helped Qin Haozhong out of the sedan chair.

Qin Haozhong asked casually, "Has anyone been here today?" ”

"There are no important people, it's just that in the morning, Xu Shuyu and Uncle Xu have come!" Steward Zhang waited and said, "He didn't say anything, so naturally we didn't dare to ask more." ”

While speaking, he arrived at the second gate, Zhang's father, the housekeeper Lao Zhang greeted him, this is the old man in the house who grew up with Qin Haozhong since he was a child, although he is a domestic servant, in the end the relationship is different, he smiled at him and said: "You are also seventy years old, you don't have to be like this, you can give more work to your son in the future!" ”

"Yes! This is the grace of the Lord! The housekeeper Lao Zhang bowed and said, "Master, Uncle Xu has sent you a gift for your sixty-sixth birthday, you should take a look." ”

Qin Haozhong was stunned, he should be the prime minister, neither is it the clearest, the water is clear and there is no fishing, nor is it greedy, greed is easy to get into trouble, besides, his status and strength do not have to rely on "receiving gifts" to make a fortune

Generally, the gifts are handled by the housekeeper Lao Zhang, and if he wants to see it, it is a heavy courtesy, and he wants to decide whether to return or not.

When he arrived at the study, the housekeeper took out the gift list, and Qin Haozhong frowned slightly

White fox skin, white sable skin, sable skin, ruyi, rice paper, jade belt, Su silk, Dongzhu, deer antler, ginseng, as well as a complete set of gold and silver utensils and wine utensils, as well as He Jin

When Qin Haozhong saw this list, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and fell into a deep groan.

The housekeeper is a little strange, although this list is bigger, but it won't make Xiangye so dignified!

After a long time, Qin Haozhong woke up and asked, "How much money is in this list?" ”

"Back to the old man, it's about 100,000 silver yuan."

"100,000 silver yuan!" Qin Hao's center moved, suddenly brightened, and asked casually: "Then how much money does this Xu family have?" ”

This question is ridiculous and rude, and the housekeeper was stunned for a moment and said: "The old slave doesn't know, but the Xu family is an earl, and it has been a hundred years since the establishment of the knight, and there are many businesses, and there are always tens of millions of silver yuan!" ”

Qin Haozhong listened, put the list down, and said, "You bring me the Analects given by the emperor." ”

"Yes, sir!"

When the thin Analects was brought, as soon as Qin Haozhong took it, he found a page and read: "Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety. There is no poverty, no widowhood, and no inclination. If the husband is like this, so people from afar are not satisfied, and they will repair Wende. If it comes, it will be safe. ”

I suddenly understood it completely.

Here, "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality, not suffering from poverty but suffering from insecurity", it is not a sorrow about the gap between the rich and the poor in society, but the increasingly unbalanced distribution of power between the court and the aristocracy

A mere Xu family, but it is an earl, and the heirloom is only a hundred years, and it is 100,000 silver yuan as soon as it is sold, and the family wealth is at least tens of millions of silver yuan, not to mention other aristocratic families?

You must know that although the imperial court has an income of 95 million silver yuan, it is necessary to raise soldiers, officials, and soldiers

The real emperor himself only has about one million silver yuan at his disposal every year, and the rest is fixed

With this kind of disparity, it is no wonder that the emperor is worried, what is the difference between this and land annexation?

Thinking of this, Qin Haozhong already understood what the emperor meant, his face was solemn, and he walked on the study (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
