Not long after, Shen Shixing raised the law book in his hand and sighed and said, "Shoufu, everyone, it seems that Wu Ningbo relies on this!"

When everyone heard this, they all leaned over to watch, and after a few glances, they saw the doorway. Zhang Siwei couldn't help but sigh for a long time and said, "What a demon-like character! It's up to the people below to fight for it."

The other pavilion elders also had blank expressions when they saw the law book in Shen Shixing's hand, and when they heard Zhang Siwei's words, they each sighed and went to get busy, as if this matter had not happened at all.

The elders didn't speak, but the people below were all active, asking around for news and seeing the reaction below.

By the next day, the entire Jingshi had been completely boiling, needless to say, they had seized the opportunity, and now the people sent out were almost all rushing to Tianjin, so those who stayed in the Jingshi feasted and drank with each other every day, imagining the scene of a large amount of silver coming into the account in the future, very happy!

And the people's reaction is still very flat, after all, the opening of the sea is too far away for them, the small people of Shengdou, it is just an increase in the talking point. Some of them think that opening the sea is a good thing, and maybe they can make an extra living. And some people think that opening the sea is a bad thing, maybe it will really attract the Japanese robbers, and then it will be themselves who are unlucky! ap.

On the civilian side, the reaction is much more complicated. A large number of people wrote to deal with Wu Ningbo and oppose the opening of the sea! The reasons range from the beginning of the ancestral system to the fact that it will attract Japanese invaders! But everyone did two things in unison, the first thing was to send someone to Xungui's house, and even go directly to Tianjin to inquire about the specific situation of Kaihai, and then to write a letter to the clan to spread the news, asking them to send someone of weight to Beijing as soon as possible.

In particular, those officials and scholars who were born in the Jiangnan wang clan even spoke out and demanded that the imperial court prohibit the opening of the sea. Some people even directly said that Wu Ningbo's move was to cover his collusion with pirates, preparing to attack Jingshi from Tianjin, and wanted to change the dynasty!

However, there are also many officials and scholars who are in favor of opening the sea! They enumerated all kinds of benefits after the opening of the sea, lobbied the officials everywhere, preached everywhere, and did their best to open the sea! Therefore, once the opposing sides get together, it is inevitable that there will be a debate!

And the most important thing in the capital is officials and scholars, so the restaurants, green buildings and brothels they often haunt are full of voices debating each other! But fortunately, everyone is a scholar, and it hasn't escalated to a physical attack, but "his mother" can't say a few more words!

This is what the building looks like at the moment! Two groups of officials and scholars debated with each other! Interestingly, at this moment, the hall on the first floor is like a war, and the walls are tightly divided into three factions! The faction on the left is the officials and scholars who oppose the opening of the sea, while the right side is naturally in favor of the opening of the sea. As for those in the middle, they are centrists who don't have many ideas, but they are relatively small!

What's even more interesting is that Lu Tianhua, who was the most active opponent of Liu Haojia in the past, has now become his supporter, and he is saying in the whole river: "...... Besides, the canal, which has gone through several dynasties since the Sui and Tang dynasties, has long been seriously blocked! And now that the country and the dynasty are more and more prosperous, the canal has long been overwhelmed! If the sea can be opened, some of the goods in the south will turn to sea transportation, especially the grain, and I don't know how much capacity can be saved? How can it be said that there is no benefit in opening the sea? At the time of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the grain transportation to Dadu was by sea, and the cost was very small! That Da Yuan is so useful, how can I not use it now?"

His words were immediately supported by a group of people around him, who cheered him loudly! Praise Lu Gongzi Bo Enqiang again and again!

And at this time, Shi Shiran, who was in the group of scholars, stood up and said, "What Brother Lu said has some truth, but he is still against opening the sea!" Let's talk about the canal problem first, this canal does have all kinds of problems that Brother Lu said, but it is very simple to solve, just silt up and dredge! Moreover, there are only tens of thousands of people who eat on this canal around it, and if you count your families, you are afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands! If Caoyun is changed to sea transportation, how will the livelihood of these hundreds of thousands of people be solved? If there are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's disciples who raise their arms and shout, they are afraid that the world will be poisonous! Besides, Dayuan Caoyun does use sea transportation more, but I don't know if Brother Lu has checked, how many ships capsized and how many people died every year during Dayuan? It is important to know that the sea is not as calm as the waves on the canal, even if there is an accident, everyone can do it

Escape to shore! But where is the place where there is a foothold on the sea? Once something happens, yin and yang are separated, and letting the people die in this way is against the way of the saint's compassion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him also applauded loudly, admiring his profound knowledge and understanding of the way of a saint!

Lu Tianhua was just about to stand up and speak, but he was held down by a scholar beside him, and then this person got up and arched his hand and said, "Although what Brother Zhou said seems to have some truth, it is actually a bit biased!"

The scholar on the other side arched his hand and said, "Oh, please ask Brother Huang for guidance!"

The scholar surnamed Huang waved his hand and said, "I can't talk about pointing, it's just communicating with each other! However, what I want to say next is that the silting of the canal is not a day's cold, and if the imperial court had enough money, I am afraid it would have been cleaned up long ago! After all, the princes of the imperial court are not wine bags and rice bags, and they can't see the importance of the canal, so it can be seen that the imperial court still has difficulties! But if the sea is opened, and Caoyun goes directly to the sea, won't it even save the money for dredging the canal? As for the capsizing of ships at sea and the death of many sailors, this is also something that cannot be helped! In fact, there are quite a few deaths in the canal every year, so we can't choke on food! So if we should go by sea, we still have to go by sea!"

His words drew applause from his companions, who were naturally not to be outdone, and one of them stood up and argued with him. The two sides come and go, quoting scriptures, but they are comparable, but Xiaozhu who is hiding behind the curtain is bitter, listening to his eyes like mosquito coils, and he can't tell who is right and who is wrong!

So Xiaozhu simply stomped his feet, turned his head and went upstairs directly. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw a few people being led through the back door by a rough woman. She took a closer look, and it turned out that it was Qin Niang Kang Miao and Xie Jianniang who came to visit with their maids.

As soon as Xiaozhu saw them, she threw what she had just heard out of the clouds, and she rushed over in surprise to give Shi Li. Seeing the direction she was coming from, Kang Miao knew that she was going to listen to the root of the wall again, so she smiled and said, "It seems that our little ear report god must have eavesdropped on the soldiers downstairs, and we will let her learn the tongue for us in a while!"
