Chapter 384: Suicide in line, Shizi wakes up!
Wu Weiye now wants to kill Liu Hongxun.
And it's a little uncontrollable.
Therefore, when he looks at Liu Hongxun now, his eyes are full of fire!
His family in Sichuan has long been liquidated because of its attachment to the puppet dynasty, and the land, shops and other industries have been confiscated.
Now that the court has not pursued him, he has felt content, and naturally he does not dare to complain.
Only in this way, the part that led to his property was only in Beijing.
But now these properties have been handed over to Liu Hongxun by him to buy the Wang family's shares, but now Liu Hongxun tells himself that the stock price has plummeted and fallen to a situation where it is not as good as the treasure banknote!
This undoubtedly shows that the stocks in his hand now are a pile of waste paper, and then he Wu Weiye is obviously going to live a life of eating porridge with his family, and he can no longer go to Fengyue Tower, and look at the stars and the moon with his confidante from poetry and poetry to the philosophy of life.
Therefore, Wu Weiye is now angry with Liu Hongxun and hates Liu Hongxun for cheating him.
But Wu Weiye finally resisted the rush to kill Liu Hongxun.
After all, he is a literati, and it's okay to write and scold people.
Killing, he still doesn't dare.
Therefore, Wu Weiye just left Liu's house in silence.
He needs to be quiet now.
Wu Weiye also walked to the river outside Yongding Gate.
These days, there are many officials and gentry and Confucian people who jump into the river outside Yongding Gate.
They were either disheartened by the situation in the world because of the complete failure of the southern puppet dynasty that restored the ancestral system and the status of science and science, believing that it would be difficult to return to the previous era when their scholars could oppress the common people at will after the great changes in the world, and they committed suicide by jumping into the river because the stock price of the Wang family, which had suddenly plummeted recently, could not bear this blow, and wanted to die to avoid the high debts, or both.
The financial activity of speculating in the Wang's stock has been prevalent among the people of the Ming Dynasty during this time, almost at the same time as the rebellion in the south.
It was only because the imperial court was mainly focused on suppressing rebellions in the south and cleaning up internal opposition to restructuring and implementing a new system, so it did not have time to pay attention to this kind of private financial activities.
In addition, most of the people involved in this financial activity were rich and powerful powerful businessmen, and these people seemed to be deliberately concealing it, rather than wanting the imperial court to participate in this matter.
Therefore, the financial activities of speculating on Wang's stocks have been happening.
What's more, the intervention of the imperial court also needs an opportunity.
Now that the West Factory is intervening in this matter, it was only after Li Fuming took the initiative to confess that he used the two million taels of military money to speculate on the Wang family's stocks, and then he took the initiative to go to Wang Dayuan, who issued the Wang family's shares, to conduct an investigation.
As a result, it directly caused the mysterious disappearance of the Wang family and the sharp fall of the Wang family's stock.
As a result, the two bureaucrats Liu Hongxun and Wu Weiye also suffered heavy losses.
"Get out of the way! I am Taichang Temple, higher grade than you, let me jump first! β
Because of the double failure of politics and economy, there are now many bureaucrats and Confucian scholars who come to Yongding River to commit suicide by jumping into the river, which can almost be described as queuing, so at this time, when Wu Weiye was about to jump, an elderly official who claimed to be Taichang Temple Cheng pushed him away, and then stood on the bridge first, looking up to the sky and shouting: "From now on, science will never be the best!" β
After speaking, this Taichang Temple Cheng jumped down with a plop.
Wu Weiye was very stimulated by the behavior of this Taichang Temple, he couldn't help but admire the spirit of dedication to science in this Taichang Temple, and when he thought that he had been staying in this dim court that did not take science as the body and did not govern the country by virtue, and now because of the corruption of the hearts of the people in the world, he ended up with all his wealth and debts, so he was ready to commit suicide, thinking that he admired the science of dedication, and then shouted: "Science is difficult to prosper, benevolence is difficult to survive, it is better to go!" β
"Humph! What does Xingli do to continue to let hypocrites like Wang Wenkui and Zhao Shichun harm the people of the world?! β
"This kind of outdated learning should be retreated to the deep mountains of the study, instead of being used by villains as a tool to accumulate wealth and enrich themselves!"
"You obviously committed suicide because you couldn't rely on the promotion of science to take power, but you have to say that you can't change your suicide because science is not prosperous and the world is bad! In my opinion, you hypocrites are dead, and no one will feel sorry for you! β
Lu Zhangzu, who was transferred back to Beijing to serve in the military department, couldn't help but squirt when he heard what Wu Weiye said before he was about to jump into the river when he passed through the Yongding River.
Wu Weiye was furious when he heard this, and turned his head to look over: "You dare to say that we are hypocrites?!" β
"If you are a true gentleman, why should you abandon the country and abandon the king?"
Lu Zhangzu asked directly.
Wu Weiye couldn't say bluntly that the country in front of him was not what he wanted, so he only asked: "I see that you are also a civil servant, do you like the current situation?" β
"Why don't you like it? I love it now! β
Lu Zhangzu replied without thinking, and directly concluded: "This is the world of justice and great rule!" β
Wu Weiye was quite annoyed when he heard this: "How can you say that? Where is this world of great governance? The people's hearts are not ancient, the world is declining, up to the princes and princes, down to the common people, everyone is light on virtue and profit, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and there is no style of ancient saints! In such a society, the prohibition is that the charm is rampant, and the demons are in charge! β
Lu Zhangzu shook his sleeves and sneered: "Gong obviously didn't go to the Southern Puppet Dynasty at the beginning, and he didn't see how he Wang Wenkui and Zhao Shichun were so bad that people were worse than ghosts, so he had such an idea." I used to be like you, and I thought that it was a place where the real sages and gentlemen gathered, and the morals were noble, but when I went, I found that it was all full of copper smell, and I opened my mouth to pay filial piety and closed my mouth to be filial, forcing the people to starve to death batch after batch, forcing scholars like me to live like grass mustard, and this kind of restoration of the world of science is not restored! β
Lu Zhangzu's words still stimulated him very much.
So after Lu Zhangzu left, Wu Weiye didn't think about suicide anymore, but subconsciously, he seemed to begin to believe what Lu Zhangzu said, because he felt it, the hatred in Lu Zhangzu's eyes for the southern puppet dynasty was not pretending, but really hating, just like when he went out of Sichuan before, he saw the eyes of the slender man along the river looking at the evil officials along the way.
Lu Zhangzu was indeed educated by the iron fist of science, and he is very sober now, especially after he found that he returned to the imperial court and could be promoted by doing things seriously, and even many rebels could eat enough relief food to fill their stomachs immediately after being captured, he realized with more certainty that he was really wrong before, and that restoring science was the destruction of this world, and the great prosperity of practical learning was to create a prosperous world.
LΓΌ Zhangzu has now completely given up the illusion that he can enslave the Han people and live a superior life like the scholars and doctors in the past, and has become a staunch supporter of the reform of the law and the system.
After Wu Weiye gave up committing suicide, he returned to the capital city, and came to Xiyuan Fuque with the royal relatives, powerful and bureaucrats in the city who were defrauded by the royal family's stocks and lost their money, and cried to beg the emperor to administer justice for them.
Small kiosk
Because they really lost too much this time.
When they thought that investing in the Wang family stocks could make a fortune, they didn't want the imperial court to get involved, but now that they realized that the royal family stocks were a big scam, they naturally hoped that the imperial court would administer justice for them.
These imperial relatives, powerful bureaucrats are like giant babies, they reject the imperial power when they think it is profitable, and they don't want the court and the emperor to know that they are making a fortune, just like they didn't want the emperor to know that overseas trade is more profitable, and only let the emperor and the court put leverage on the peasants.
But when they suffered a loss, they hoped that the imperial power would uphold justice for them, so they began to cry and ask the court to call the shots, without thinking about being responsible for their actions.
One of the problems that Tianqi is facing now is whether to take care of this matter, and therefore asked Zhang Gui, Han Yi, Yuan Keli and others: "You say, should the imperial court take care of it?" β
