"Are you too a student?" Fang Tingshi was inevitably surprised.

One student can understand, but more than 20 students come all the way to Guizhou.

Chen Dong said: "We beat the drum and knock on the que, and shout for Mr. Zhu. was first imprisoned by Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, and then expelled from Tokyo by Taixue. Although the fame is removed, he is determined not to forget, and he came to Guizhou to study, just to serve the country and the people one day. ”

Fang Tingshi sighed: "All gentlemen are righteous people! ”

Not only the county order asked, but the county officials were also watching, Guizhou had never seen so many students.

Oshiji hurriedly asked the official to make tea for reception, while the chief bookkeeper Fu Huan inquired about the incident and wanted to know all kinds of news about what happened in Tokyo.

All the beings were tired and sat down in the county office to rest.

Fu Yuanheng said: "From Shandong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are thieves in the heavy grain tax areas. Grain from the two roads in Shaanxi should be exported to the newly opened border areas. The two roads in western Beijing are flooded and drought, and this year the hungry people have fled to Kaifeng. When we left Beijing, the white rice in the capital was 2100 Wen and one stone. ”

"More than 2,000 wen and one stone of rice?" Fu Huan felt unbelievable, Guizhou was only 300 wen and one stone.

Lei Guan said: "The grain that is now shipped out is supplied to Gyeonggi by the four roads of Sichuan Gorge, and the army of Tongguan is fed by Jinghu and Guangxi. Cai Jing's Fang Tian Decree before the dismissal of the prime minister made the people of Shu miserable, and Wang Huang abolished it immediately after he became prime minister. But taxes are still unusually high, and the treasury is still empty. The imperial court actually minted a large number of iron coins and passed through the two roads of Jingnan Road and Shaanxi. We came from Jingnan Road, where the market was already chaotic, and the merchants were at a loss with iron money. ”

Fang Tingshi listened stupidly, in the copper coin use area, the forced issuance of iron coins, which little clever ghost made a decision?

At the same time, it also reflects how embarrassed the Great Song Dynasty has become!

Guo Wangzhi was not interested in these things, but asked: "The princes beat the drum and knock on the que, have you ever seen Your Majesty?" ”

Wei Liangchen shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen the official family, the Dengwen Drum Court and the Dengwen Procuratorate have all refused to accept the complaint, or the Imperial History has accepted it." But he asked us to go back to study, saying that Mr. Zhu had been assigned to Guizhou. ”

Fu Huan asked: "How did Mr. Zhu anger His Majesty, how did he manage Guizhou?" ”

Fang Tingshi was also very curious, it was impossible for Di Bao to write clearly, and Zhu Ming did not answer specifically about it.

Chen Dong took out a few pieces of paper from his bag, took out one of them and said: "This is Mr. Zhu's "Public Security Sparse", which is admired by the officials and people of Tokyo. ”

Fang Tingshi took it over and read it, Fu Huan and Guo Wangzhi also leaned close to their heads.

After reading it, the three of them were shocked.

scolded the emperor, reprimanded the six thieves, and cried out for the prince. Any content is enough to drink a pot, and Zhu Ming actually wrote it in a note at the same time.

No wonder it has to be removed from the list!

Chen Dong handed over another piece of paper: "This is Mr. Zhu's "Song of Righteousness". The six thieves ordered the jailers to be tortured, and the emperor also forced him to write a letter of repentance with stabbing and coercion. Mr. Zhu was unwilling to give in, so he wrote this "Song of Righteousness" to show his heart. The jailer was so frightened that he did not dare to torture him again. Li Gong, the secretary of Dali Temple, was also moved by Haoran's righteousness, and did not want to harm the people with lofty ideals, so he resigned and returned to his hometown on the same day. ”

When Fang Tingshi heard these deeds, he read "Song of Righteousness" carefully, and while his blood was boiling, his eyes were sour and he wanted to shed tears.

Lei Guan said: "Our bachelors gathered outside the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City, sat quietly and sang the "Song of Righteousness". Haoran righteousness is full of heaven and earth, the forbidden army does not dare to humiliate, the traitors dare not bully, and the people all eat pot pulp to help. How could that Wang Huang villain, ignoring Haoran righteousness, actually put me in prison. In his capacity as prime minister, he expelled us from the list in violation of the law. ”

The identity of a student is a kind of fame. As long as he enters the inner house, the prime minister has no right to remove the name, and must consult the emperor.

Wang Hao's expulsion of students is illegal!

The upright minister was already impeaching, but the emperor did not react, and clearly acquiesced to Wang Huang's foolishness.

Guo Wangzhi asked the scribe to bring pen and paper and quickly copy "Public Security Shu" and "Song of Righteousness", which are very rare in Guizhou.

After a break and chatting for a while, Chen Dong asked, "May I ask where Mr. Zhu is in charge?" ”

Fang Tingshi got up and said, "All the gentlemen come with me." ”

took a group of students to Zhu Ming's temporary residence. There were no servants hired here for the time being, and Zeng Xiaoduan heard the sound and came out to open the door.

In the introduction of the courtyard, all the students collectively made a gesture, and the disciples greeted him: "Student so-and-so, meet Mr.!" ”

Zhu Ming was also surprised: "Why did you come to Guizhou?" ”

Chen Dong briefly said.

Zhu Ming didn't expect these students to be so upright, and couldn't help sighing: "But it hurt you." ”

Fu Yuanheng said: "Sir, don't blame yourself, we just seek benevolence and get benevolence. My family is a big clan in Wu County, first robbed by thieves, and then extorted by officers and soldiers, and there is no one in ten family property. This is not a family's experience, the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are like this, so they will exterminate the rebels, and Zhu Mian's father and son will also make a comeback. Only Mr. can sweep away the whole world, and we will follow him to the death! ”

Lei Guan said: "My family was also plundered by thieves, and my floating wealth was lost, which was caused by Wang Huang's raising of Kou. If you don't get rid of the treacherous Wang Huang, it will be difficult for the world to be peaceful! ”

Wei Liangchen said: "Your classmates have already discussed, and they will study with Mr. in Guizhou, waiting for the opportunity to go out of the mountain to help Sheji. ”

The students were talking to each other, and the words became more and more intense.

Fang Tingshi was shocked to hear it, since he was awarded the rank of Jinshi, he had only returned to Tokyo once, and he had always been an official in a remote area, and he didn't know how bad the situation in Tokyo was.

This year, when the green and yellow were not in success, more than 100,000 hungry people poured into Gyeonggi, and the imperial court only selected Qingzhuang to recruit 10,000 troops. The rest were left to fend for themselves, causing the Gyeonggi Prefecture to be infested with thieves, and the bones could be seen in the wild a little further away from the city.

In and around Tokyo, people starve to death every day because of high food prices.

Even the low-level officials in the capital are about to be unable to afford to eat, so they all rely on the monthly distribution of rice to survive. To raise more relatives and servants, you have to find a way to buy food, often borrowing money from relatives and friends.

And the powerful and wealthy businessmen are still singing and dancing, Fan Lou Pan Lou, and the excitement is still there.

Where can people who have not been warm-blooded and have a clear conscience be able to watch?

These students are not hot-headed to knock on the que, but the anger that has accumulated for a long time needs to be vented.

Zhu Ming entertained them for dinner, and Fang Tingshi said: "There are many living beings, and it is difficult to find a house for a while, so I am afraid that we will have to squeeze it." ”

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "Just find two houses, my study can still live in people, and I can sleep a few in the bedroom." When spring begins, we will move to Qixing Mountain. ”

Cai Yi's side has already contacted some rich people.

When they heard that they were going to build a college, most of them were willing to donate money and materials.

Zhu Ming bought some tools, and the next day he took his entourage and students to work at the foot of Qixing Mountain in person.

"Self-cultivation is not just meditation, labor can also exercise the mind," Zhu Ming said with a hoe, "Recite with me, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and ......bones."

"The heavens will descend on the people, and the people will ......"

For a time, at the foot of the Seven Stars Mountain, the voice of "Mencius" sounded.

Directly let the students do manual work, maybe some people will resist, but with "Mencius" is different, all living beings are in full swing.

They don't know anything else, digging pits to move soil, leveling the land, but they don't need any skills.

The rest was left to the craftsmen to do, and Zhu Ming took the students to cut down trees at the foot of the mountain and reclaim the wasteland. He plans to reclaim a piece of land, and in addition to lecturing, he will work with the students.

It was the end of the year, and the weather was neither hot nor cold.

After many days of hard work, only a few people were unaccustomed to the water and soil, and their bodies were weak and diarrhea, but there were no serious diseases.

"Public Security Sparse" and "Song of Righteousness" quickly spread in the state and county yamen, and then spread to the state and county schools, and gradually even the folk gentry heard of it.

Officials and civilians continued to come to visit and saw Zhu Ming taking students and working hard at the foot of Qixing Mountain, and they suddenly admired it even more in their hearts.

The students also brought "University Chapters and Sentences" and "Moderate Chapters and Sentences" and lent them to visitors to read and transcrib.

As soon as these two books came out, Zhu Ming was instantly regarded as a great Confucian, the principal of the state school and the county school, and they all respectfully performed the disciple ceremony.

The reputation spread, and there were more wealthy families who were willing to sponsor them, and they sent good timber and sent a large number of people to help.

During the Chinese New Year, dozens of thatched huts were built, and beds, tables and chairs were built for them.

Zhu Ming occupies only two thatched huts, one bedroom and one study.

A place to eat, drink, and share with the students.

"Hang the sign!"

Zhu Ming stood in front of the house, commanding the sign to follow, and a wooden board with a brush to write "Qixingzhai".

As for the sign of the academy, it reads "Seven Star Academy".

Zhu Ming now belongs to the management of seclusion, and he has to give himself a name, "Seven Star Zhai Master" is not bad, and he can also be called "Zhu Qixing" in the future.

Lingui celebrity Huang Yiqing, who was not admitted to the examination this year, came to watch the ceremony with many scholars.

At this moment, I saw that Zhu Ming and the students were all wearing cloth clothes, and although they were dressed shabby, they were all in good spirits. Dozens of thatched huts are scattered, obviously simple and abnormal, but they seem to be blooming.

Looking up at the plaque of "Seven Star Academy", it is an ordinary wooden plaque, and I didn't even find a craftsman to engrave it, I just wrote it casually with a brush. But it's breathtaking, as if it contains endless truths.

"The mountain is not high, there is a fairy name, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual......"

Huang Yiqing muttered: "This Qixing Mountain will open up the cultural context of Guizhou for hundreds of years, and we will witness the grand event at the right time!" ”

The local scholars nodded their heads, they had never seen such a scene.

It doesn't matter if he was posthumously ruined, whether he offended the powerful, if he doesn't come to the Seven Star Academy to study now, when will he wait?

Huang Yiqing tidied up his clothes, stepped forward with many scholars, and said respectfully: "Student meet Mr!" ”

Zhu Ming smiled: "If you want to be a scholar, you can go to register and take classes after the beginning of spring." Are all the Lingui scholars here? ”

Huang Yiqing said: "There will be a provincial test next year, and everyone will go to the capital. ”

"It's okay," Zhu Ming instructed, ""The Tao Strategy", "Zhu's Sutra", "University Chapters and Sentences", and "The Mean Chapters and Sentences", you can copy them, and you can use them after the beginning of the semester. ”
