Look at the newspaper, it is written that my "son of a loser" how to ship at his own expense and how to serve the country loyally! Who can do such a thing as a loss of wealth...... Yes? Yes!

Build momentum in advance and spread the word. Zhu Youxiao naturally understands better than anyone else.

What is "killing soldiers and pit Confucianism", look at the bad deeds of many village eunuchs, they are no different from local ruffians and bullies, they are simply local evil forces.

It's not enough to say that it's not enough, I have to list them one by one, slap you in the face, and pull your fig leaf.

"The young people are in a hurry, and they will be threatened by the Qin pit, and the squires will be afraid of them like a son, and there will be wealthy people supporting Shuli banquets, and one or two scholars will be invited to sit down to prevent accidents."

It turned out that the students were still hiding from the prostitutes, but now they are not only not afraid of rumors, but also escort the squire, what kind of play?

"At the beginning of the country, there were people who were born and resented each other, such as serving heavy labor. The rules of the school are very strict, all living beings live in the dormitory, there is a process of schoolwork day and night, and there is no rest, and people think that it is bitter. At that time, the teacher was also very dignified...... Today, the teacher is changing, and the disciples regard their teachers as couples, and there are those who slander each other. ”

In the past, because of the strict academic rules, the former students and scholars also knew to respect teachers and value teaching, and they also knew how to study hard. Now, the status of teachers and students has changed, and many students are not diligent, where is there still the ambition of the Qi family to govern the country and level the world?

"Since the poor Confucian puppet Kedi, he asked for books from the county doctor, and took over the old fields of relatives and protégés. If the person whose name is only 100 mu and floats to 2,000, and the silver is 300 taels, then the person in charge of the number will be ordered to finish the grain on the day...... As soon as Xiucai was born, he enjoyed 200 acres of silver-free fields."

The serious arrears of money and grain in Jiangnan have a lot to do with the exemption of students from military service and tax evasion. The students not only evaded taxes themselves, but also took the money and grain of the wealthy and secretly swallowed the money and grain they should pay. Under the sanctimonious appearance, there is such a face of tax evasion and greed.

"To the people's lawsuits, each Qian knows Confucianism, and the court is straight. So Wu Zhong insulted each other, and then there was a saying of 'hire Xiucai to beat you'. ”

In civil litigation, students often create trouble, raise lawsuits, and seek benefits. Hiring a showman to beat you reflects the dominant position and bad behavior of the students in lawsuits and lawsuits.

"Daming Forum" continuously published articles, listing facts, giving examples, sharp words, and penetrating into the bones, making all kinds of lawlessness of the squires public.

This public opinion attack has played a great role, and the lawbreakers are worried and disgraced; to silence the aggrieved in shame; Law-abiding people are vigilant in their hearts, and they are more and more self-conscious and follow the rules.

"It's all cleared and paid, and there is no hidden illegality, right?" Wu Changshi asked the housekeeper again, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Yunyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that Wu Changshi had been scared out of the way. He is upright, but he is "not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night".

And the latest decree of the imperial court has indeed hit the key point of the gentry, removing the fame and the name of the gentry, and prohibiting them from the imperial examination for life, which is even more powerful than killing them.

In the past, the reason why the arrogance and lawlessness of the gentry and students could not be stopped, in modern terms, was that "the cost of crime is too low".

It's good now, not only is it a heavy punishment, but it also knocks out your confidence at once. It's not a student, it's not a gentry, it's just a common man, look at how good you are, what else do you get?

Not to mention the government, the ruffians and hooligans, even the common people who originally bowed their heads and waists can dominate you. The gap is huge, and it is not acceptable to ordinary people.

So who are you to blame for all this?

The imperial court had already given warnings several times, and the work of compiling the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book, and checking the Zhangtian Register, and clearing up the accumulated arrears and leaks, had begun several months ago.

You think the court won't be serious; You think that the local government is still as weak as before, and even in the same way; You are not the only one who thinks you have committed wrongdoing. What do you think......

Well, what you thought didn't happen, although the punishment of the imperial court was heavy, it was not "punished without teaching"; Even the discussion of "killing people and cheating Confucians" was also diluted by the figures of fines and confiscations listed in the newspapers.

This is the same way as dealing with Li San, and killing people will be punished.

Look at the property of the confiscated eunuchs, which one is poor.

Not to mention that the family has a lot of money, it is also a high-class family, but it is still greedy and shameless. With preferential exemptions, how can you still evade taxes in concealment, how can you be sympathetic?

"Brother Wu." Xia Yunyi raised his voice before he called Wu Changshi's soul back, but his eyes were still a little dull, and he looked at him stupidly.

Arching his hand, Xia Yunyi opened his mouth and said: "The so-called gentleman's learning is more valuable than knowing the time; The time is urgent, and the need is to be afraid of the future. It is to go to Beijing with Chen Renzhong and Xu Yangong to study, I wonder if Brother Wu is willing to go together? ”

Wu Changshi thought of the few heads that were cut off in the capital, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his head and said: "If you want to study hard, you won't study with the ranks." ”

Xia Yunyi didn't care, and persuaded again: "Vulgar Confucianism is ancient rather than modern, and it is gorgeous and practical." It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and you may benefit a lot from going out to see it. ”

After a pause, Xia Yunyi added: "Moreover, the imperial court has also opened a new school to cultivate talents who are 'used in the world', so it's good to go and see it." ”

Wu Changshi still shook his head and said: "I still think it's better to take the right path of the imperial examination, and please don't be surprised by Brother Xia." ”

Xia Yunyi smiled and said, "Everyone has ambitions, how can they be reluctant?" That being the case, then I took my leave. ”

Wu Changshi got up to see him off, sent Xia Yunyi straight to the door of the house, and then turned back.

In the cold wind, Xia Yunyi tightened his winter clothes and quickened his pace, feeling strange in his heart that Wu Changshi had become so dull and withdrawn.

But soon, he thought about the opening of a new school in the imperial court again.

This is the notice published in the newspaper, and there are a few simple and simple words that touched him a lot, including Chen Zilong and Xu Fuyuan, who went to Beijing together.

Why do you study to learn the power of the world? As a student, what contribution do you make to the country and the people? Enjoy the preferential treatment of the imperial court, do you feel at ease?

At first glance, these three questions are not difficult to answer. But after thinking about it carefully, he replied a little weakly, and he couldn't be ashamed.

When I arrived in Jingshi, I had seen and heard and thought about it, so that I could answer all the questions in my heart, right?

Xia Yunyi exhaled a puff of white air, revealing an expectant look, his footsteps staggered, stepping on the slightly frozen road, and running into the distance.

And this time I want to enter Beijing to study, the most active advocate is actually Chen Zilong. He is a native of Songjiang Huating, and Xu Guangqi is a native of Fahuahui in Shanghai County, and in later generations, they all belong to Shanghainese.

Chen Zilong admired Xu Guangqi's personality and learning, and praised Xu Guangqi for "bearing the ambition of the world, learning in life, studying heaven and man, and all of them are practical." As for farming, I pay special attention to it. It is the source of the people's education and the foundation of the country's prosperity."

Historically, it was also Chen Zilong who sorted out the draft of the "Book of Agriculture" left by Xu Guangqi, which was completed into 60 volumes of the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", and also expressed his own social and economic ideas.

This time in Beijing, Chen Zilong's main purpose was to visit Xu Guangqi and ask him for advice on "the affairs of the world".

And Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi were also troubled by the actions of the imperial court recently, and they were sincerely invited by their friends, so they also went together.
