"Some took a boat to the southern part of Liaoning, some went to the shipyard, and many went to a place called Xilin Academy, where many scholars and children would be taken to study, which was the academy built by Uncle Guo in the name of Xichang."

The merchant replied.

"Xilin Academy."

Shang Zhouzuo became even more curious after hearing this, and asked again, "Where is Xilin Academy?" ”

"They say, where Donglin Academy is, Xilin Academy is there."

The merchant replied.

Shang Zhouzuo felt more and more incredible, how could he say that where Donglin Academy is, Xilin Academy is there.

Shang Zhouzuo now had to go back to the house first with a stomach full of doubts, and after learning that his own land was also cleared, he didn't say anything, what made him glad was that his family did not owe the court taxes and grain, and the housekeeper obviously listened to him and did not owe the court taxes and grain.

Next, Shang Zhouzuo didn't stay at home for a few days, so he took his fourth daughter Shang Jinghui to Donglin Academy.

He was eager to know what kind of academy his uncle Zhang Guikai's Xilin Academy was, and why even the merchants in Shaoxing knew about it.

But because Shang Zhouzuo only knew where Donglin Academy was now, he also came to Donglin Academy first.

"Call me! Fight to the death! ”

When Shang Zhouzuo first came to the outside of Donglin Academy, he saw Gao Shitai drinking and ordering the slaves to hang several peasant households on trees and beat them with wooden sticks.

Seeing this, Shang Zhouzuo hurriedly came over and asked, "Hui Zhan (Gao Shitai's character), why is this?" ”

Gao Shitai saw that he was an official of the same class as him and knew him in the old years, so he changed his humble attitude, saluted, and then changed his face to disgust, looked at the tenant farmer hanging from the tree and said: "Teach a few uninteresting tenants!" dared to run away and secretly went to Xilin Academy to work as a worker, but forgot that he had signed a deed of sale. ”

As he spoke, Gao Shitai shouted again: "Keep fighting!" Kill directly! Let his family come to collect the corpse, and then let the tenants of Donglin Academy come to see it, this is the fate of the escape! ”

"That's it, after all, the academy is a place of education, so why criticize the people so harshly."

Shang Zhouzuo persuaded.

"How do you know that if these treacherous and cunning people are not killed, they will only make the good people affected by them, so this trend must not last, and it must be killed to make an example, which is the way of education! This so-called etiquette is not inferior to the people! ”

Gao Shitai Road.

Shang Zhouzuo was not easy to persuade again, because he happened to see Xilin Academy on the opposite side at this time, so he crossed the river and crossed the bridge.

"This day, this is the earth, this is the country, this is the home, this is the clan."

Shang Zhouzuo was coming here, but he saw a scholar teaching a few farmers how to read, and pointed to the words on the ground and read them.

Shang Zhouzuo therefore asked: "This descendant, you actually want to teach farmers to read?" ”

The scholar got up and arched his hand and said: "This old man doesn't know, the late student is a student of Xilin Academy, and the academy allows us to freely choose the homework of the practical class, and the later student chooses the homework of literacy for the farmers in my hometown. Therefore, I came to teach them literacy, and in order to complete my practical class homework, I also gave them incentives, who wanted to know more than 100 words, and gave them 10 cents for later students. ”

"It's still the ministers of Xilin Academy, who not only help us with farm work but also teach us literacy, we know words, and give money."

"That is, the key is not to circle our fields for learning fields, but also to open workshops so that we can work and earn money."

"It's better than the Donglin Academy next to it, the Donglin Academy still has to be supported by us by paying rent, and sometimes we collude with the government to enslave us!"

At this time, these farmers also followed suit.

"Don't enclose people's fields, don't enslave the people, and there are so-called practical classes."

After hearing this, Shang Zhouzuo became more and more interested in Xilin Academy, so he hurried to Xilin Academy, and as soon as he came here, he heard the sound of lectures in the courtyard.

"A gentleman is a learner, a clear way, and a salvation. Need to learn ...... useful"

Shang Zhouzuo listened.

At this point, Shang Zhouzuo stayed here for many days before continuing to sail north to Beijing.

……

During the period when Shang and Zhou Zuo went north, Zhang Gui opened Xilin Academy next to Donglin Academy, and Gu Qiyuan and others made many officials in the imperial court who were disgusted with the new policy know about it in the form of private letters.

Many courtiers and civil officials were also deeply shocked by this.

"What a national uncle! would even think of taking away the status of my Donglin Academy in the literary world! Such a method is really vicious, but I am afraid that now the public opinion of Jiangnan Shilin has long been controlled by me Donglin! ”

Shen Yongmao said to his colleagues at this time.

Gu Gong said in the letter that they had organized a lot of poor and poor people who were unwilling to do so, and they had already publicized some of the unbearable things found in the process of recovering the levies and asking for acres of land, and they also directly organized some people to preach the new policy to the merchants and ordinary people in the market, so that the people knew about it! We really underestimated this uncle Guo. ”

Gao Panlong couldn't help but say at this time.

"Must join him! Especially this Xilin Academy, it can no longer be allowed to exist, existence will only mislead people's children, how can there be a reason for relatives to run the academy, this should be my Wenchen's special affairs! ”

Shen Yongmao said.

"Agreed!"

Gao Panlong replied, and said: "But now even the transcript of Yang Gong's impeachment of Yuan Keli will be left behind, and it is useless for us to impeach Uncle Guo." ”

"It works!"

Huang Liji, who was secretly in collusion with the civil officials in Jiangnan because he was dissatisfied with the new policy, said at this time, and said:

"Although today's son is brutal, he is not a faint king, and he will never really ignore the changes in the court. If we impeach Uncle Guo and Yuan Keli and others, it seems that the manuscript will be left behind, but in fact, Your Majesty knows very well which people are on the music and what they are, as long as we have enough music on it, they all say that the new policy is very bad, and it is best to present the map of the displaced people, and the Son of Heaven will know that there are not many people who support the new policy of changing the law, and for the overall situation of the imperial court, he will have to give up the new coup d'état law, or stop continuing the reform, withdraw the Department of Planning, and no longer implement the new policies such as clearing the acres of land and recovering the levies to the whole country. ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

"This is reasonable, but who should be dedicated to the outcasts?"

Shen Yongmao nodded.

"Naturally, it is Shen Gong, Shen Gong, you are a native of Suzhou, and you are the head of the temple after Shen Gong, only your ideas can represent the will of Jiangnan people, and Your Majesty will have to believe it."

Huang Liji said.

Shen Yongmao nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, the contemptible people will offer the map of the exiles, and then, please keep going to this uncle Zhang Gui!" ”

"Do your best!"

At this time, Huang Liji, Gao Panlong, Miao Changqi and others all returned.

So, next, the impeachment of Zhang Guijian's Xilin Academy's chaotic tricks, as well as the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, flew into the palace like snowflakes.

At the beginning, Apocalypse did ignore these notes and left them all in.

But as Huang Liji expected, Tianqi was not really an emperor who ignored the imperial court, and on this night, he suddenly asked Wei Zhongxian to take these left-behind pieces to his bedroom and read them one by one.

"So many impeachment of Zhang Gui!"

After seeing it, Tianqi couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, and then showed a contemptuous smile that was not easy to be noticed, and said in his heart: "I am not so easy to scare. ”

As he spoke, the apocalypse said: "Spread the decree, tomorrow it will be called a big rise!" ”

Soon, the apocalypse will be called tomorrow, that is, the will of the great court will be known to the officials in the capital.

"Sure enough, as Huang Gong expected, the Son of Heaven is really going to start meeting the ministers, and he must have been really shocked by the large number of performances that the Manjing officials said that the new law change was very bad and that Uncle Guo was very unpopular."

Miao Changqi said to Shen Yongmao and others at this time.

Shen Yongmao smiled and said: "It's not just the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid that Zhou Zuo, the proud protégé of Han Puzhou, will also refuse this marriage because of Uncle Guo's behavior in Jiangnan, and he will also oppose the new policy." ”

"That is, the merchant is a Dashi clan in eastern Zhejiang, and he must be very uncomfortable because his field has been cleared."

Huang Liji followed.

The next day, at the court meeting, as soon as the apocalypse asked the courtiers to discuss the matter, Shen Yongmao stood up and took out the map of the exiles and the impeachment of Zhang Gui and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached his uncle Zhang Gui for implementing a new policy in Jiangnan, committing lawlessness, opening academies without permission, and misleading people's children, causing the people in Jiangnan to boil over and evil spirits!"

"Another cool official, Zhao Yan, is even more embarrassed with Uncle Guo, making the people miserable in Jiangnan!"

Therefore, some Jiangnan celebrities painted a picture of the displaced people to present to His Majesty, and the intention was to let His Majesty know the tragic situation of the people in Jiangnan, and not to let his relatives and cool officials use the so-called new policy to harm the people in Jiangnan. Your Majesty, please take a look! ”

Tianqi pretended to be surprised when he heard this: "There is such a thing? ”

Shen Yongmao said: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the merchant of the military department who has just arrived in Beijing, he just came to Beijing from his hometown in Zhejiang, and he can be impeached by the minister!" ”

At this time, Shang Zhouzuo suddenly took the initiative to go out and said, "Your Majesty! The minister impeached Taichang Temple Qing Shen used Mao to bully the king! In addition, the minister also impeached him for slandering his uncle and minister of the court! Even more disregard for the facts, and an attempt to discredit the good governance of the imperial court in Jiangnan! The heart is not bad! ”

Shen Yongmao looked at Shang Zhouzuo in astonishment.

Many civil officials also looked at Shang Zhouzuo, their faces full of incredulity: "You actually say that the New Deal is good governance? Hasn't your field been cleared?! ”
