Chapter 676: Revolt Caused by Cuts

Xinfeng Underworld began to cut expenses, and this time the cuts were aimed at the yamen in the former Longxi Kingdom, especially the wealthier places around Qi'an, which caused many people to be dissatisfied.

Although no one spoke out against it in the early days, not long after this order was issued, it caused a violent commotion.

The commotion originated from the government academies around Ji'an.

The country of Longxi was wealthy, attached great importance to education, and had government-run colleges in every place. The government-run colleges are not only colleges for teaching, but also subordinate county, county, and township colleges.

The government-run colleges are funded by the imperial court, and the subordinate sub-colleges use the government-run colleges' own funds and win over the local gentry and wealthy families to jointly run the schools.

Once it comes to the appropriation of the imperial court, there will be dirt in the money, the power of the government-run academy is large, in charge of the appropriation of a place, often with the local gentry, the relationship is complicated, such an environment will inevitably give birth to a lot of cats.

I heard that the government-run colleges in various places are very rich, not only the faculty and staff such as the dean and the gentleman, but even the students in the government-run colleges are as extravagant as they are with the funds of the imperial court.

Most of the students in the government-run colleges are from official families or wealthy families, and the people of Longxi have a strange phenomenon, that is, no matter how rich and powerful the family is, their goal is still power and money, as if no matter how rich and powerful they are, they are not enough, and they are greedy to the core.

As soon as Chenguang came to power, he ordered a reduction in the funding of the government-run colleges, which not only affected the interests of the faculty and staff of the government-run colleges, but also the interests of the students, and once the funds were insufficient, they could no longer study as luxuriously and comfortably as before.

Not long after the funding cuts were ordered, student protests began to erupt in several places around Koan. There were frequent incidents in various localities where students went to block the entrance of the yamen and reasoned with the magistrates.

Compared with other places, Qi'an is even more intense, because Qi'an is the capital, there are three government-run colleges, and there are tens of thousands of students in the three colleges, and more than half of them frequently go to the official road to stop officials, even Chang Xi has been stopped once, and a small number of people are even bolder, and they actually gathered at the gate of the palace, wanting to write to His Majesty to ask for the restoration of the funds of the official college. That's right, they are going to write to His Majesty.

Those students said that it was okay to cut the funds of the Yamen, but they should not cut the funds of the government colleges, because the students of the government colleges are the future pillars of the country, and they need to be trained with sufficient funds.

A group of young and vigorous young people with inexhaustible strength tossed around in the city of Qi'an, at their age, all with a boiling momentum, not even afraid of death, every day is running for their ideas to be recognized, in fact, their ideas are equivalent to the benefits they want to get.

If there are too many people, once they interfere, it will turn into large-scale repression, and the rash use of repressive means will cause chaos.

A group of male students didn't go to school properly, and jumped up and down on the ground endlessly, which made Chenguang's heart burst into flames.

"Pillars of the nation? They just want to take the money to go to the flower street to find the girl! Prostitutes are common in the official academy, thinking that holding a girl and drinking a few obscene poems is a great talent? The books are all in the dog's belly! Such a person is also a moth when he enters the yamen in the future, and he is embarrassed to say that he is the pillar of the country! "In the Dawn Palace, Chenguang was furious because of the trouble caused by the students of the official academy, and the teenage children were the most terrifying, because they could do anything.

"Kill them all!" Chang Xi was just stopped on the street yesterday and was already impatient.

Si Qian glanced at him: "If you kill all of them, you have to kill all the people of Longxi Kingdom, otherwise the incidents provoked will be higher and higher, how can it be so easy." ”

Chang Xi glanced at him and didn't speak.

Chenguang set his eyes on Mu Han, who was also standing in the main hall but didn't say a word:

"What do you say?"

"The students in the government academy are young, and if one of them makes a fuss, the others will follow suit, saying that they don't listen, and the only way is to punish them, and they will all be imprisoned and locked up, and they will be taught a lesson, and they will not dare next time." Mu Han half-hung his head and replied softly.

Chenguang raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to her answer.

At this moment, Si Qi walked in from outside the door, came to Chenguang's side, and whispered a few words to Chenguang.

The people in the hall vaguely heard Xu Maode's name, probably because Xu Maode had returned from the border city.

Chenguang nodded at Si Qi, Si Qi retreated, and Chenguang returned the topic to the student trouble just now.

"I don't believe that there is no incitement behind them." She said summing up and glanced at Mu Han.

Mu Han didn't move, she didn't speak, she still lowered her head like just now and didn't speak,

The incident of the student disturbance did not come up with a good solution.

After Si Qian, Chang Xi, and Mu Han withdrew from the Dawn Palace, Mu Han walked forward first, leaving the other two people behind.

Chang Xi stared at her and said to Si Qian:

"You say, why did Your Highness call her too? Her Highness killed her father, will she still obey His Highness's orders? This woman is also strange, it stands to reason that she doesn't look like someone who will be close to His Highness, but when His Highness treats her as a close minister, she still does it well. She doesn't look like a spineless person, why do you say she's? ”

"If you have time to think about these things, why don't you go and drive all the students sitting outside the yamen home." Si Qian didn't want to have this useless conversation with him.

"If you can't go back, Your Highness is right, there is someone behind the instigation. There must be someone behind every unreasonable thing, otherwise a few students can set off such a big storm? This time, the important thing is not that His Royal Highness has reduced the appropriation of the official academy, but that he has reduced the interests of the yamen, and the dismissal of those officials who have eaten vegetarian meals has also moved the interests of some people, so this time there is such a big move. ”

Si Qian glanced at him, didn't respond, separated from him, and strode in one direction.

Seeing that he left without a sound, Chang Xi's face turned dark, he glared at Si Qian, turned around, and went in another direction.

Si Qian and the others had just left the Dawn Palace with their front feet, and Xu Maode came in with their back feet.

After he recovered from his injuries from the border city, he directly penetrated the former plague-stricken area in the central part of Longxi Country on his return journey, and showed Chenguang the climate among the people of Longxi after the disaster for a long time, which led him to come back this time, although he came to see him after carefully grooming himself, but he was still as gray as a potato.

"Greetings to Your Highness!" Xu Maode walked in with his head down, knelt down and said hello first.
