Chapter 226: Turning the Face

Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Zhuming is the first year of Hongzhi second-class jinshi, in the officialdom for nearly 30 years, is now 60 years old, if nothing else, will eventually return to his hometown in this post.

Zhu Ming is a very traditional Confucian reader, and it is hard to say that it is rigid and stubborn, thinking that all the learning in the world comes from Confucianism and belongs to Confucianism, and except for Confucianism, all learning is rubbish!

King Yong set up a school in Huzhou to study miscellaneous schools, and this old stubborn sneered at him more than once, and he didn't have much affection for Wang Shouren, who was determined to become a saint.

Now Wang Shouren is on the orders of the Son of Heaven to inspect the school and supervise the world's learning, if the teaching is pure Confucianism, then Zhu Ming will not have any opinions, but the Son of Heaven said that Confucianism is the mainstay, supplemented by miscellaneous studies, which has caused Zhu Ming's strong dissatisfaction.

Of course, Zhu Ming also knew that he had almost come to an end in his career in this life, and it was impossible to change the will of the Son of Heaven with his strength, so he was helpless except to complain.

But he didn't expect Wang Shouren to come to Nanzhili at the first stop of his school tour, and he compared his heart to his heart, and Zhu Ming felt that if it was him, he would definitely choose Henan or Hubei.

The reason is very simple, there are too many scholars in Nanzhili, and it is not a big problem to want to promote Confucianism in Nanzhili, but the newly established school, Confucianism and miscellaneous together, where will there be so many people to let their children go to learn miscellaneous studies that cannot be examined!

After Wang Shouren got up to salute, Zhu Ming replied with a dark face: "Wang Xunxue was ordered to supervise the world's academic affairs, how could he have time to come to the household yamen today?"

Wang Shouren sat down and said with a smile: "I want silver."

Zhu Ming almost squirted out the tea that he had just drunk into his mouth, of course he knew that Wang Shouren was here to ask for silver, but he never thought that this guy could ask for it so directly.

"No money." Zhu Ming directly put the teacup aside.

"This year's summer tax is being collected, how can the household department have no silver?"

"If the official says no, there is no, is it possible that Lord Wang still plans to check the accounts of the household department!"

"The lower officials don't dare." Wang Shouren smiled indifferently: "The lower officials are in accordance with the will of the Son of Heaven to promote the world, and now they need to build a wide range of township schools, and they also need to buy books, pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and invite the master to teach their studies.

"So what?" Zhu Ming took the case and said angrily: "Wang Shouren, don't forget, you yourself are also a famous disciple, and this official doesn't believe that you can't see the purpose of learning the world today!"

Wang Shouren raised his head and looked directly into Zhu Ming's eyes, and said, "Today, I don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a school, what's the matter?" When you come to the adults, the purpose is not pure? ”

Zhu Ming laughed: "The purpose is not pure? Confucianism has been inherited for 2,000 years, and the kings of all dynasties have not promoted Confucianism and Confucianism, but now they like to make craftsmen, good businessmen, treat clans harshly, abolish salt politics, conduct business taxes, abuse the people, and have no image of a holy monarch! Now the revival of the world, nominally Confucian-based, in fact, is just to promote miscellaneous learning, now the effect is not good, can wait for more than ten or twenty years, then miscellaneous scholars all over the world, who dares to say that it will not endanger my famous Taoist system! At that time, you, Wang Shouren, will be an accomplice and a sinner of the famous religion! ”

"Rotten!" Wang Shouren got up and snorted coldly: "The Holy Son of Heaven abolished the feudal kings, so that there was no more disaster of the feudal kings in the place, and in your mouth, it turned out to be the Son of Heaven who treated the clan harshly, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no one questioned it, which shows that this government is in line with the Confucian concept, you are good, and you think that only you are the one who understands."

As for the pros and cons of the salt administration, it is even more ridiculous, because the annual tax collection of the salt administration is less than 3 million taels, and the local salt merchants and the government collude with each other, so that private salt is rampant and the corruption of officialdom is flourishing.

Now the salt farm is contracted, the merchants are beneficial, the people benefit, the private salt is cut off, and the annual income is more than 20 million taels, and now it is directly allocated to the household department 5 million taels, so the financial abundance, the royal family no longer needs to be supplied by the household, and it has become a harsh government in the mouth of your rotten Confucian, and it is a mistreatment of the people, which is ridiculous.

I am afraid that the implementation of the new salt policy has cut off your financial route.

As for commercial taxation, you think that the cabinet ministers are blind, you think that you alone can see clearly, and the princes do not strongly oppose it, which naturally shows that the policy of commercial taxation is conducive to the Ming Dynasty, but you slander commercial taxation between the lines, what can you do in addition to the loss of interests?

There is also the revitalization of learning, and now the wisdom of the people, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty has books to read from now on, and what is cultivated is the seed of the reader, the seed of Confucianism!

As for miscellaneous studies, business bachelors can prosper from business, craftsmen can prosper from business, medical scholars can save lives and help the wounded, after the county school, what to learn depends on the autonomy of scholars, the imperial court is never reluctant, and the imperial examination is still the imperial examination of Confucian scholars!

In addition, township and county schools can also reduce the burden on the common people, but you turn a blind eye to such good governance, do not listen to it, and make alarmist remarks, which is simply ridiculous! ”

"You...... You...... You are arrogant! Daring! "Zhu Ming was trembling with anger, in terms of background, he was a Jinshi in the first year of Hongzhi, Wang Shouren was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, he was a senior!

In terms of official body, he is a second-grade scholar, and Wang Shouren, who doesn't know the so-called school tour, is a second-grade scholar, he is a Shangguan!

In terms of age, he is one in sixty this year, and Wang Shouren is only forty years old, he is an elder!

But this post-graduate who doesn't know the height of the sky and tries to become holy dares to directly rebuke him, where is the system! Where is the official respect!

Wang Shouren snorted coldly: "This official is a school tour, holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, he has the right to cut first and then play, and has the right to take taxes from all over the country to run schools.

"Chop first, then play?" Zhu Ming laughed rampantly and said: "There has never been a shortage of martyred scholars on the road of defending the road, although Zhu Ming is old, he is willing to use this blood to alert the corporal of the world!" Wang Shouren, if you don't have any money, you just have to take it! ”

Wang Shouren's eyes froze, he did hold the Sword of the Son of Heaven and had the right to cut first and then play, but it was not just anyone who could kill him, at least he couldn't kill high-ranking officials at the level of Shangshu and Shilang, if he really wanted to kill Zhu Ming regardless of it, then his reputation in Confucianism would be completely ruined.

He is an existence determined to become holy, how can he ruin his reputation on the road to sanctification because of an old horseman!

And Zhu Ming himself was obviously so confused that he directly forgot about this, and in the face of Wang Shouren's threat from the will of the Son of Heaven and the sword of the Son of Heaven, he actually put on a posture of sacrificing himself and martyrdom.

Wang Shouren, who calmed his mood, spit out a breath of turbid air and sneered: "The adults think that if the household department does not allocate money, the official will not be able to study? Don't forget, there is an emperor's money in this world, and there is also the silver of Yanzheng that can be withdrawn by the official in advance! ”

After saying this, Wang Shouren brushed his sleeves away.
