Chapter 2294 The life of a scholar is not easy
"This is probably more criticized, but I said at the beginning that if those powerful people can go overseas, they can calm some of the dispute."
Huang Zhong went to the academy and the two were studying the meaning of the Queen Mother's words.
Xie Jin became more and more immortal. He stroked his beard and said, "How many powerful people have been since Emperor Taizu Gao to the present? Emperor Wen has successfully cleaned up a lot of them in Jingnan, but in the end, there will only be more and more generations. Not to mention those royal relatives and vassal kings are a big problem."
"This time I just cleaned up the gentry and honorary relatives, but the vassal kings did not move. Mr. Jie, all the vassal kings in various places are reporting..."
"Show loyalty, cry poor?"
Xie Jin tapped the table with his finger and said disdainfully: "If you encounter Emperor Wen with such a method, you will probably issue an order, but Your Majesty is a junior of the royal family and it is difficult to take action."
Huang Zhong pointed outside and smiled and said, "Isn't there another royal elder in the capital?"
Xie Jin smiled and said, "Yes! That's a good mess. Who dares to mess with him?"
...
"Smash!"
A big man stood outside a restaurant, waved his right hand, and a group of servants rushed in behind him.
After a crackling sound, a man with black cheeks ran out from inside, looking like the shopkeeper.
He ran to the man and knelt down and shouted, "Your Highness, the young man is so confused! I don't know if it's you, I deserve to die!"
The big man was Zhu Gaoxu. He slowly let go of his hand and the horse whip in his palm slowly hangs down.
"beat!"
The horse whip was flying, and the screams quickly made a group of people gather around him.
"It's the King of Han."
"Tsk! This is bullying people with power!"
"The King of Han relies on his own as the emperor's uncle, and the city of Beiping is not enough for him to leave. This is just a fight. It is his blessing if he doesn't use a knife."
Several scholars muttered indignation, their voices rising and falling, and were heard by the people beside them. A short man squeezed over and whispered: "You are talking bad things about Your Highness!"
Damn it!
Several scholars who were struggling for the shopkeeper regretted the cunning expression when they saw this person.
"The small one doesn't want much, two hundred..."
The short man stretched out his hand and said proudly: "Otherwise, when His Highness the King of Han learns that someone is scolding him behind his back..."
Here I was so angry that I paid the money, but there was almost demolishing the restaurant there.
The shopkeeper had been beaten and covered in bruises. Zhu Gaoxu took the whip and scolded: "You dare to give me the soup that others have eaten. You are so brave!"
Well……
Some strange things seemed to have entered the scholars, and everyone was embarrassed.
"Disgusting! This restaurant was a mess last time. The hot pot that someone else had finished eating was brought in the kitchen. That was a saliva!"
Zhu Gaoxu's reputation is not good, and everyone is afraid, but in the end, there is a young man with a strong spirit who speaks justice.
Since hot pot became popular from south to north, most businesses have been studying how to make their own taste better.
But there are always many greedy people in the world, and some of them take the wrong paths.
Naturally, there is no need to take care of the clear soup, but the spicy soup base is worth a little money, so some merchants recycle the spicy soup base that customers have eaten, and then sell it after a little treatment.
It's disgusting!
Separate meals are still popular in many occasions, so when I think of myself as having someone else’s saliva, many people are shouting that they are good at beating.
This was the first time that Zhu Gaoxu was called to be beaten well, and his vanity was extremely satisfied.
He actually bowed to the onlookers, and then took a group of "evil slaves" out of the city.
Many people heard the mutterings of those scholars just now. As soon as Zhu Gaoxu left, the people dared to make fun of them.
"Hey! Didn't you say that Your Highness is cruel? Why don't you dare to stand up for the shopkeeper? You just dare to say that your mouth is more effective than swords and guns!"
"Swords and guns? Their mouths can call swords and guns as molten iron, widows as sluts, and whites as black, which is amazing!"
A man in blue shirt who had probably read books but had no good feelings for the scholars group saw that the scholars looked unnatural and was about to leave, so he said, "I do nothing all day long, and I'm just like those lingering women."
The scholars coughed a few times, and then went out with a shelf.
Of course, the crowd didn't dare to stop them, just making fun of them.
Two men on the roadside were watching this scene, one of them said: "Now scholars have become rats crossing the street, and I don't know when it started."
"Since science, the cleanup and contribution were completely stripped off their masks. The people naturally wanted to ridicule them. The phoenix that landed on the ground was not as good as a chicken!"
"Hey! Fortunately, we didn't take the imperial examination road, otherwise we would be like them."
"It's good to do business! Now even Your Majesty says that merchants are the blood of the Ming Dynasty, which is of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty's wealth, and their lives will only get better and better in the future. Sooner or later, those guys who study hard all day will not be able to support themselves to beg for food!"
...
"The biggest benefit of this cleaning is to ruin the prestige of the gentry. Even the fools in the countryside dare to make fun of them. His Majesty just issued an order to ask local governments to manage the countryside below and not to be in a formal way..."
Huang Zhong was introducing the background of the cleaning, as well as various changes and means in the dark to Tudou and Ping'an.
After he finished speaking, Tudou said, "This matter is easy to understand. After all, the gentry has controlled the countryside, and the tax situation has deteriorated. Where have they gone? They must have swallowed it up."
Ping'an also said: "Brother, they will have to suffer any consequences if they swallow it, so they have to bribe officials. Corruption of administration is also unrelated to them."
Tudou nodded and said with relief: "You have a good look at it carefully. It is true. Those gentry are afraid of taking the money and food. If the officials keep holding on to these things and wait for the opportunity to take action, they will be to confiscate the family and destroy the clan! So it is best to pull them into the water together, so that everyone's bodies are wet and they are all in the same group. Who would say it?"
The two brothers discussed it themselves, but they didn't know that Huang Zhong was smiling bitterly.
Fang Xing teaches his children to play with you when he was a child. As long as you can study hard at that little study time every day, you really ignore you when you go to the room and remove the tiles.
Then he entered the academy. The two brothers of the Fang family were not very good at the academy and their grades were not outstanding.
But Huang Zhong knew that Fang Xing often taught his two sons alone, teaching everything, and even the ghosts in the human heart.
He had advised him that the child was too young and they knew about those mischief, and they would probably follow the example when they grew up.
But Fang Xing didn't listen to his advice at all, and he still did his own thing.
Now that I saw that the Tudou brothers saw it clearly, Huang Zhong felt that he was still a little pedantic back then.
How could the two future counts be able to read books until they are not familiar with the world?
At this time, someone came outside to report, looking a little scared.
"The King of Han is coming down."
"Where are potatoes? Where are the potatoes?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu broke in without hesitation.
This is the front yard, so you can come in and wait for a good relationship. But it is rare for Zhu Gaoxu to come in and find someone by himself.
As soon as the three of them got up, Zhu Gaoxu stepped in, then glanced over, walked to Tudou, and slapped him.
"Hahahaha! I didn't even lie down, okay! Fang Xing taught me the good son!"
Tudou's body shook a few times, and saw that there was a cold feeling in Ping'an's eyes, so he bowed and said, "Your Highness has kept it, you're lucky."
Huang Zhong asked someone to pour tea, and then asked Zhu Gaoxu to sit down.
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have a cold and intimidating expression. "Fang Xing had to come back in autumn at the earliest. I heard that you are both literary and martial, so I would like to learn the method of fighting with me?"
Tudou was stunned, then bowed and said politely: "Thank you, your highness, you are naturally willing, but my father..."
This is a polite word. No matter what aspect, Tudou did not directly refuse, nor even the qualification to refuse Zhu Gaoxu's request, so he wanted to delay it and make plans after he woke up.
