Zhang Mu looked at Zhang Rui, and then slowly got up.

stood straight in front of Zhang Rui, and then bowed, "I've seen the teacher!" ”

Zhang Rui looked at Zhang Mu: "Okay, good, you still know etiquette!" ”

Zhang Mu smiled and said: "I respect you today because you are my enlightenment teacher, and I judge you today because you oppress the people and fish and meat in the township!" ”

Zhang Rui couldn't help but be stunned, he originally thought that Zhang Mu would not interrogate him, but now, ......

What did he just say?

I tried you today because you oppressed the people, and you were in the fish and meat country?

For a while, Zhang Rui glared at this Zhang Mu angrily: "Zhang Mu, you are also a scholar, have you read this etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith to the dog's belly?" ”

"Teacher, you said I was a thief, have you ever thought about why I became a thief?"

Zhang Mu looked at Zhang Rui in front of him calmly, and just sneered: "Five years ago, my family was quite wealthy, and the three brothers could still study, but now? Our whole family has no place to stand, and we are destitute, and if I am not a thief, I will starve to death, and my whole family will starve to death! ”

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, but just sneered: "Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of festival is a big matter!" ”

"What do you mean, teacher, that I'm a woman?" Zhang Mu laughed.

"You're not even as good as a woman!" Zhang Rui just sneered: "You are a brute, when you are studying, I will teach you, the father is the son, the king is the minister, the husband is the wife, and I also teach you benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, have you forgotten all these things?" Did you read it all into the dog's belly? ”

Zhang Mu just smiled calmly and said lightly: "The king is a minister, the king is not right, and the minister votes for another country. The country is the people's program, the country is not right, and the people attack it. The Father is the Son, the Father is unkind, and the Son goes to another country. The Son is the Father's hope, the Son is not righteous, and the righteousness destroys the relatives. The husband is the wife, and if the husband is not right, the wife can remarry. The wife is a helper to the husband, and if the wife is not virtuous, the husband will be divorced."

"You ......" Zhang Rui subconsciously took two or three steps back.

And Zhang Mu just said coldly: "Dare to ask Master Zhang, the country can't let us live, what should we do?" Let the court starve us to death? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu's voice suddenly became louder: "You ask the big guy, do you agree?" ”

"Disagree!"

"Disagree!"

At first, the voice was scattered, but in the end, the voice came together.

Thousands of people burst out in unison.

Zhang Rui subconsciously took two or three steps back, and the sound rose into the sky, like thunder, and it was also the roar of more than 1,800 people who broke out at the same time.

Zhang Rui, who was shocked, was trembling in his heart, liver and lungs.

Zhang Mu's voice became sharper and sharper: "The imperial court has raised taxes year after year, and we have no place to stand, what about you, Mr. Zhang?" The imperial court will raise taxes, but it can't be added to your head, we have to go to be forced labor, to send grain to Liaodong, to build a palace for the imperial court, Master Zhang, you can sit at home and read the book of sages, now, we can't live and are forced to be thieves, you can poke our backbone and say, Qingben is a beautiful woman, but what is a thief? ”

"You, you ......" Zhang Rui's voice trembled: "I have today, I am enrolled in the book of sages, I am the imperial court to take the imperial examination, this is the imperial court's preferential treatment of scholars, you yourself are not good at studying, you can't take the imperial examination, can this also blame the imperial court?" ”

"Master Zhang!"

Zhang Mu said lightly: "You are also a scholar, today, I will give you a good account!" ”

"Reckoning?"

Zhang Rui was stunned.

"Yes, settle the score!"

While speaking, Zhang Mu raised a finger and said slowly: "A volume of "Mencius" requires twenty taels of silver, we have worked hard in the fields for a year, can we buy a copy of "Mencius"?" ”

"Let's talk about apprenticeship, my three brothers will ask for ten taels of silver each, this is just a bundle, and there is also a repair gold, you have to give the teacher enough silver every year, respect as an important embodiment of respecting the teacher, and another sum of silver, I will study with you for a year, and the family will take out fifty taels of silver, yes or no?"

Zhang Mu only studied with Zhang Rui for a year, and later, all the resources in the family were tilted towards Zhang Xin.

There's really no way, this book can't afford to read.

"You took our family's money and bought land, so that your family's land is getting more and more, but my family's land is getting less and less!" Zhang Mu looked at Zhang Rui and said calmly: "You are highly respected and sought after in the village, dare to ask Master Zhang, what should we do if we don't have money to study?" We can't take the imperial examination, so what should we do? ”

Zhang Rui's face changed slightly.

Zhang Xin said lightly: "You want us to respect our teacher, you took so much money from our family, do you deserve it?" ”

Zhang Rui's eyes widened, pointed at Zhang Mu's nose and said angrily: "You, you, you are deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

"Heaven and earth do not allow it?"

Zhang Mu just sneered and said lightly: "Master Zhang, are you spending a lot?" Do you also want to continue to take the exam and become a lifter? You also need to study, you also need to buy books, and the travel fee for the imperial examination also costs money, and you still want to take the exam, right? Your son Zhang Ming is also a Xiucai now, studying at Huazhou College, he has to take the exam, and he also needs to restrain other teachers, repair gold and frugality, and it is more expensive, right? ”

mentioned this, Zhang Rui also had a burst of pain.

Although he is a teacher in Zhangzhuang, he also has a lot of land and can get a lot of silver, but the expenses for his son's study are not ordinarily large.

"Let us have no money to buy books, no money for the imperial examination, but on the other hand, we don't study well and can't get preferential treatment from the imperial court, is this deserved?" Zhang Mu just sneered: "Master Zhang, why should I respect you and respect you?" ”

This remark is also for the villagers.

It is an exploitation of education.

What does Zhang Rui need to do?

Teaching can easily make a slightly wealthier family like Zhang Mu willing to take out a lot of silver, and even sell the land on which he depends.

Even if Chongzhen raises taxes vigorously, they have to let Zhang Xin study.

Zhang Rui teaches, because he shouldn't give money, but the question is whether he should or shouldn't he ask so much?

Someone else said: "My family is a lowly family, I can't study, I can't take the imperial examination!" ”

Zhang Rui just gritted his teeth: "This is your natural cheapness!" ”

"What did you say?" But the man was angry: "I was born cheap? ”

In the past, he might have endured it, but now, after coming into contact with Zhang Mu's thoughts, his whole perception of the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

I am poor and miserable, it is not that I have not worked hard enough, it is not that I am not industrious enough, but because of exploitation.

The bulk of his income was taken away by the landlord.

I worked and worked hard in the fields, but the landlord didn't need to do anything, he only needed to hook his hands, and he could easily take it away.

How do you be cheap?

Now Zhang Mu's propaganda idea is an idea.

Labor is the most glorious!

It is the laborers who should enjoy the maximum profits.

"You fart!"

But the peasant became angry: "How can I be cheap, I work with my own hands, I need to work under the sun every day, when I go home, the sky is full of stars, I dare not rest, I eat bread every day, I dare not eat more, I want to work in the field hungry, how can I be cheap?" ”

Zhang Rui was stunned, and for a while, he didn't know how to refute.

I heard the farmer continue to scold angrily: "What about you? You don't need to do anything, you just need to teach every day, you can earn a lot of silver, you still have 500 acres of land at home, you can also hire tenant farmers, when the grain harvest is abundant, you have to raise the tenant rent, we refuse, you have to take the tenants, the court to raise taxes, to levy labor, naturally can't get your head, let us go up! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, the farmer simply roared out and said: "You can say that we are cheap now, but don't forget that you are living so comfortably now, that is our support, you now say that we are thieves, we are thieves, we are thieves now, but we are not cheap, you, you are the most lowly goods!" ”

"Yes, you're the bitch!"

"What the hell are you after eating the grain cultivated by our lowly peasants?"

Zhang Rui subconsciously took two or three steps back, not knowing how to refute.

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, Confucian classics, under the questioning of this peasant, there is no power to refute.

Many people were also angry: "Yes, Zhang Rui, don't you often say that the people can carry the boat or overturn the boat on weekdays, now, why do you start to say that we are lowly people?" ”

"Eighty percent, this people who can carry boats, are not us farmers at all, but their so-called scholars, what are we? We are cows and horses! ”

"Grass, you grandma!"

Zhang Rui was stunned, at this moment, even if he had thousands of sages in his belly, he was speechless.

He couldn't answer why he could sit back and enjoy his success and earn one or two hundred taels of silver a year comfortably.

Although Zhang Rui was also full of complaints, feeling that the group of guys in Huazhou Academy wanted too much, Zhang Rui could not tolerate this statement, he was a vested interest group.

All of a sudden, Zhang Rui's breathing began to become heavy: "Zhang Mu, you are deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors!" ”

"You're wrong, I'm not deceiving my teacher and destroying my ancestors!" Zhang Mu glanced at Zhang Rui, and said very seriously: "The country is for the people, the country is not right, and the people are attacking, I want to completely destroy an unreasonable and unfair old world and create a new world!" ”

Zhang Rui's breathing became heavy, and he only felt a pang of cramping in his heart.

Zhang Mu continued: "What about Ming Taizu? ”

Zhang Rui's eyes widened, Zhang Mu smiled, and said lightly: "You said that we were cheap, Zhu Yuanzhang used to be as cheap as us, and in the end?" ”

"You!" Zhang Rui glared at Zhang Mu, suddenly, coughed violently, and suddenly with a wow, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the whole person fell to the ground unconscious.
