I read that newspaper, it was written that my "prodigal son" was transported at his own expense and how he was loyal to the country! Who could harm his family's wealth like this...ah? Ah!

Build momentum in advance and publicize it. Zhu Youxiao naturally understands it better than anyone else.

What is "killing scholars and burying scholars"? Looking at the bad deeds of many rural eunuchs, they are no different from local gangsters and bullies, and they are simply evil forces in the local area.

Guangkong said it was not OK, so he had to list it one by one, slap your face and pull your fig leaf.

"The Qing Jin was still unrestrained and moved to the Qin trap to threaten the superiors. When the gentry came to the country, they were afraid of him like a son. There were rich people who were visiting a banquet for Shuli, and one or two scholars would be invited to sit in the seat to prevent accidents."

It turned out that the child was hiding out for a prostitute and was still hiding the feast. Now, not only did he not fear rumors, but he also escorted the gentry. What kind of fun is it?

"At the beginning of the country, some people who were promoted by students often complained and complained, such as serving heavy duty. The academic rules were very strict, and all students stayed in the fasting houses, and had a course every day and night, and they could not rest for rest. People thought it was a hard time. At that time, the teacher's way was very dignified... Now the teacher's way is replaced day by day, and disciples regard their teachers as if they were friends, and there are some people who joke about them."

In the past, students and scholars knew how to respect teachers and education because of their strict learning rules. Now, the status of teachers and students has changed, and many students are not diligent. Where can they still have the ambition to manage their families, govern the country and pacify the world?

"Since I was poor, I was a scholar who was in charge of the imperial examination and asked for books from the county officials to collect the fields of relatives and students. If the original name was only 100 mu, and the floating to 2,000, and the silver was 300 taels, the person in charge of the number would be ordered to supervise the household to complete the grain every day... As soon as the scholar got his origin, he would enjoy 200 mu of silver without silver."

The serious arrears of money and grain in Jiangnan are related to the exemption and tax evasion of students. Not only do they evade taxes themselves, they also take over money and grain from wealthy families and swallow the money and grain that should be paid. Under the sanctions, they have such a greedy face in tax evasion.

"When the people started a lawsuit, everyone knew Confucian scholars and was directly in the court. So Wuzhong insulted each other and said, "hiring scholars to beat you."

Students often make trouble in civil litigation, bringing lawsuits and seeking benefits. Hiring scholars to beat you reflects the advantageous position and bad behavior of the child in lawsuits.

The Ming Forum published articles in succession, listing facts and examples, with sharp words and deep words, making all the illegalities of gentry students public.

This public criticism played a great role. Those who were illegal have a worried and lost their faces; those who were wronged are ashamed and silent; those who abide by the law are vigilant, and those who are more and more self-righteous in their study and follow the rules.

"I'll pay back all the money, there's no hidden secrets, right?" Wu Changshi asked the housekeeper again, and after receiving a positive answer, he breathed a little relieved.

Xia Yunyi shook her head with a wry smile, feeling that Wu Changshi had been scared and had become a mistake. He was honest and "not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

The latest laws of the court have indeed hit the key points of the students and gentry. They have eliminated fame and reputation, and the reputation of gentry, and are not allowed to enter the imperial examination for life. They are even more powerful than killing them.

Why can't the arrogance and illegality of gentry students in the past be in modern terms is that "the cost of crime is too low."

Now, it’s good. Not only will you punish severely, but you will also get rid of your trust. You are not a student, a gentry, or a commoner. It depends on how good you are, what else can you do?

Not to mention the government, the gangsters, and even the common people who bow their heads and bows can help you. The gap is so huge that it is not something that ordinary people can accept.

Then who can you blame for all this?

The court has issued warnings several times, compiled yellow books, fish scale books, checked fields, and cleaned up hidden leaks. This was a work that started several months ago.

You think the court will not be serious; you think the local government is still as weak as before, and even in conjunction with the crowd; you think you are not the only one who has committed illegal acts; you think...

Well, what you think has not happened. Although the court's punishment is heavy, it cannot be considered "punished without teaching"; the argument of "killing scholars and burying scholars by mistake" was also diluted by the fines and confiscations listed in the newspaper.

This is the same way as dealing with Li San, and killing people is even more heartbroken.

Look at the property of those confiscated rural officials, which one is poor.

Not to mention wealth, he is also a top-notch family, but he is still greedy and shameless. He still misses tax evasion with the privileges, so how can he deserve sympathy?

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

After bowing, Xia Yunyi said, "The so-called learning of a gentleman is more important than knowing the times; what is urgent for the times is to be afraid of the future. Therefore, in the lower class and Chen people, Xu Angong will go to the capital to study. I wonder if Brother Wu is willing to travel with him?"

Wu Changshi thought of the few heads that were cut off in the capital, and his face changed a little. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "I want to study hard, so I will not study with you."

Xia Yunyi didn't care, and persuaded him: "The common scholars are the past rather than the present, and they can pick up the beauty and abandon the reality. It is better to travel a thousand miles than to read thousands of books and experience it outside, and may benefit a lot."

After pausing, Xia Yunyi added: "Besides, the court has also opened new schools to cultivate talents that are 'maintaining the world and making money', so it's better to go and have a look."

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

Xia Yunyi smiled and said, "Everyone has ambition, how can you force me? Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye."

Wu Changshi stood up and saw him off, and sent Xia Yunyi straight to the door of the house before turning around and returning.

In the cold wind, Xia Yunyi tightened his winter clothes and accelerated his pace. He felt strange that Wu Changshi became so dull and withdrawn.

But soon, he thought about the matter of the imperial court starting a new school.

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

Why can you learn how to use the world by studying? As a student, what contributions will it make to the country and the people? Are you feeling at ease to enjoy the court’s excuses?

These three questions may not seem difficult to answer at first glance. But when you think about it carefully, you will feel a little guilty and you cannot be ashamed of it.

When you arrive in the capital, see, hear and think, you can answer all the questions in your heart, right?

Xia Yunyi exhaled a white breath, showing an expectant look, and his footsteps rustled, stepped on the frozen road and ran towards the distance.

This time, the most active advocate of going to the capital to study was actually Chen Zilong. He was from Huating, Songjiang, and Xu Guangqi was from Fahuahui, Shanghai County. In later generations, they all belonged to Shanghai.

Chen Zilong admired Xu Guangqi's personality and knowledge very much, praising Xu Guangqi for "fulfilling his ambitions, studying all his knowledge in life, and focusing on practicality. As for farming, he is especially dedicated to it. He thinks it is the source of people's education and the foundation of prosperity and strength of the country."

In history, Chen Zilong compiled the draft of "The Book of Agricultural Sciences" left by Xu Guangqi, and made 60 volumes of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Sciences" and expressed his own social and economic propositions.

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

Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi were also troubled by the actions of the court in recent times. They were sincerely invited by their friends and went there together.
