Chapter 198 The death of the society, scraping the bones to heal the wound

After the merchants left, Li Han asked about it.

"They were inspired by my sincerity." Yang Xuan said cheekily.

This person is shameless, even thicker than King Wei... Li Han said: "Businessmen love money, and they love to have both sides, but I think they want to take root in peace, why?"

The old thief just laughed.

Naturally, Lang Jun's ingenious plan cannot be shared with others.

Of course, the second child is an exception.

Li Han gave up trying to investigate this matter, "Zitai came back just in time, take me to the county school someday."

Yang Xuan was surprised, "I said it last time, if you want to go, just go."

Li Han said dissatisfiedly: "The manager in the county school is domineering, with an ugly face, and it is difficult to enter the door. He said, idlers, unless they have your handwriting, they are not allowed to enter."

"That man is a madman." King Wei also went that day, "This king reported his identity, and the madman became more and more indifferent."

"Tomorrow, I will take you there tomorrow."

Yang Xuan was exhausted from the journey.

After dinner, Yang Xuan took a bath. Seeing that he was tired, Yiniang ordered, "Si Niangzi, hurry up and make the bed. By the way, sir, I have a letter from you."

The letter turned out to be from Bao Dong.

Yang Xuan entered the room and lay down on the bed to read the letter.

Bao Dong mentioned the Guozijian and his current situation in the letter.

The court's attitude towards Guozijian is gradually changing, becoming more indifferent.Moreover, the positions of the students of Guozijian who became officials are getting worse and worse.

Bao Dong complained in the letter, saying that if this continues, he will definitely choose to do business.

The sales of Huichun Pill in Chang'an are pretty good now, Bao Dong was quite proud when he mentioned this matter.

Yang Xuan thought of the workshop in the city, it should be about the same now, but the people who bought the medicinal materials have not come back yet, so they can only wait for the time being.

Compared with Huichun Pill in Taiping City, Bao Dong's one is like a child playing around.

Ha ha!

Yang Xuan chuckled and accepted the letter.

He yawned, pulled on the thin quilt, turned his head to blow out the candle, and happened to see Zhang Siniang standing beside him.

The candlelight was flickering, Zhang Siniang's face was flickering, like...

"There's a ghost!"

Get up the next day, wash up.

Zhang Siniang handed over the things with a stiff face.

"Didn't sleep well?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"I dare not say."

"Go ahead."

Yang Xuan almost uttered the words heard in the scroll: I forgive you for your innocence.

Zhang Siniang lowered her head, "I'm guilty of scaring Mr. Lang last night."

!!!

Yang Xuan was not that timid, last night he thought Zhang Siniang had gone out, and suddenly saw a face that was flickering, and the contents of ghost stories and ghost movies rushed out of his mind.

"Nobody heard it?"

Thinking of how he exclaimed in surprise last night, Yang Xuan felt a little ashamed.

Zhang Siniang hesitated, "Probably not."

Cao Ying left the bedroom, "Mr. Wang got up really early."

"Yes!"

The old thief came out.

"Morning sir."

"morning."

Yi Niang also came out.

Everyone looked as usual.

Looks like I didn't hear anything last night.

Yang Xuan felt relieved.

The same is true for Zhang Siniang.

Wang Laoer rubbed his eyes and left the bedroom.

"Yi Niang."

"What?"

"I had a nightmare last night."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that Lang Jun bumped into a ghost and was screaming."

The dead Yang Xuan took Li Han and Wei Wang to the county school, Zhang Siniang rushed into the bedroom, lying on the quilt and muttering, "I have no face to live."

"Get up." Yiniang came in.

"You all heard it."

"Ok!"

"Yiniang, do I look like a ghost?"

"Not like."

Yiniang comforted her with a few words, left the bedroom, and sighed: "If it were those women in the palace back then, when they heard Langjun's exclamation, they would have already taken advantage of the situation and pretended to be a little bird to depend on him, and threw him down. ! Still don’t have the talent to compete for favor.”

The three of Yang Xuan came to the county school.

Li Wenmin came to welcome him after hearing the news.

"I have seen Ming Palace."

He saluted Yang Xuan very respectfully.

"I have seen the king, I have seen Li Langjun."

Then it seemed a little perfunctory.

Damn!

King Wei held the handle of the knife, really wanting to kill this madman half to death with the back of the knife.

"I'll take them in and have a look."

"Mingfu, please."

The four entered the county school together.

"It's more luxurious than the place where the king lives." The place where King Wei lives can be called simple.

Li Wenmin held back the harsh words that were about to come out, "The Ming government said that the school building should be more luxurious than the government office."

fault!King Wei glanced at Yang Xuan.

He has accepted a concept since he was a child: the world belongs to the emperor, that is, the royal family.After arriving in Qianzhou, he realized that the officials were also like this... This place belongs to the official, both the land and the people.

But Yang Xuan told him in this way: what belongs to the common people belongs to the common people, and what belongs to the officials belongs to the officials.

He vaguely felt that there was something in this attitude that made him feel throbbing. Taking advantage of Yang Xuan and Li Wenmin talking in front of him, he asked in a low voice: "What does Yang Xuan mean by this? How does this king feel?" Is he belittling the officials?"

Li Han nodded, "Yes and no. I think...you think about the conditions he gave to those businessmen this time."

"Taxation is not a problem, and it is not a problem that the store does not pay rent. He has prepared those properties for the merchants, hiss!"

"Understood?"

"He regards officials as a group of people who work for the people and businessmen!"

The sound of reading is loud in the school building.

Li Wenmin said in a low voice: "Our Taiping children are almost illiterate, so everything has to start from the beginning, literacy, interpretation, and teach other things after knowing hundreds of characters."

"good."

Standing outside the school building, Yang Xuan felt relieved to see the children inside chant along with him.

This is his foundation!
After the children are literate, slowly teach those knowledge.

Li Han was somewhat disappointed as expected, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait half a year before I can read."

"You want to teach?" Wei Wang saw through his plan at a glance, "Your temper, I am worried that you will teach a group of foxes."

"Better a fox than an idiot."

King Wei said coldly: "It's not that there are too few smart people in Datang, but too many. If there are more stupid people, I believe that Datang will not be what it is today."

After looking around, Yang Xuan went back satisfied.

King Wei returned to the next door.

Huang Ping was waiting for him.

"My lord, there is news from Qianzhou."

King Wei took the envelope and opened it.

After a long time, he raised his head, with a look of ridicule in his eyes.

"Aye spends money lavishly, and even Han Shitou next to him has become a rich man, and now he has a mansion near Miyagi."

He handed some pieces of paper to Huang Ping, "Read!"

"Someone wants to come to Taiping to replace Yang Xuan. He seeks some connections and thinks he will succeed." Huang Ping thinks this is an idiot. When he took over, this one was sick, and that one was crazy, and they were avoided. Now they are flocking to them.

The old man is here to ask you today, do you dare to go to Taiping to be the county magistrate for three years?If you dare, I will toast immediately. "

"That man is from the Chunyu clan, his face immediately turned ugly, and he said what he did."

"Luo Cai was furious. He just threw a teacup at him and scolded this person for being shameless. However, under Luo Cai's rage, he went to the memorial and bluntly said that Chunyu was shameless."

When Luo Cai's memorabilia entered the palace, the emperor was noncommittal, and even said with a smile: "Luo Cai's anger has grown a little bit."

Luo Cai immediately took off his crown and begged to leave. The emperor's face was livid, and he was about to reprimand him, but the left minister got up to persuade him.

Luo Cai left a sentence: "Your majesty is in charge of Tang officials, not a family of servants with five surnames!"

"Excellent!" Huang Ping sighed, "It's a pity that the old man is not here, otherwise I would definitely applaud Luo Gong."

The Chunyu clan was furious when they heard the news, and there were rumors in the market that the Chunyu clan definitely wanted Luo Cai to look good.

A few days later, Luo Cai's grandson was found having an affair with a woman.

Datang didn't have the restrictions of Chen Guo's on matters between men and women, it was very loose.But such things that corrupt morality are still shouted and beaten by everyone.

Someone from the Chunyu clan sent a message, intending to make Luo Cai bow his head.

Luo didn't reply.

On the second day, he personally took his grandson to the gate of the victim's house and broke his grandson's leg with a stick.

Chang'an was shocked.

Just when everyone was shocked by Luo Cai's righteous killing of relatives, he appeared outside the gate of Chunyu's family.

One sits outside.

"Today is all about death!"

All Chang'an's eyes were focused here, waiting to see a family of four surnames slap the emperor in the face.

——What does the emperor think of loyal courtiers being suppressed by the powerful?
Chunyu's family stayed behind closed doors, and the emperor sent someone to persuade him, but Luo Cai only said that he was guilty.

He is guilty, so what about Chunyu?

He sat outside for a day, but the Crown Princess Chunyu Yanjiao couldn't sit still and sent people home to spread the word.

——Everyone in the palace is saying that Chunyu is going to usurp the throne!
The Chunyu clan dispatched a steward, swearing that the matter had nothing to do with the Chunyu clan.

Huang Ping finished reading.

King Wei: "What a Luo Cai!"

Yang Xuan received this news from Zhao Sanfu's letter two days later.

"Someone wants to come for gold plating, ha ha!" He laughed contemptuously.

"Luo Cai can be considered to know people and make good use of them." Cao Ying said with emotion: "When Luo Cai was an official in the local area, a wealthy family annexed the land, and the local officials took the benefits to cover it up. Until some people went to the county before fleeing Crying, Luo Cai then found out about this."

"Then came the big case, and almost no officials in the county were spared. Someone begged for mercy, and he was stern, and the begging person was also taken down."

This……

Such a person didn't fall in the officialdom?This is not scientific!

Yang Xuan wondered, "No one messed with him?"

"Yes." Cao Ying said with a smile: "Someone was working hard in the official department, and the official department was about to drive Luo Cai to the southern border. The late emperor knew about this, and slapped more than ten people with a slap, and then called Luo Cai back. Chang An asked."

"The first emperor asked Luo Cai, you have wiped out all the officials in the county, and no one is doing anything. Why don't you leave some people with minor mistakes?"

"Luo Cai said: "Keep small mistakes, this is to tell the people in the world that it doesn't matter if you make mistakes and violate the law, as long as I can be used by the court, I will be safe and sound.Your Majesty, this encourages officials to err. ""

"Your Majesty sighed at the time, saying that although Luo Cai was a bit sharp, he could be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials after a bit of tempering. Luo Cai had a safe journey. Later, Emperor Wu was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

It turned out that Luo Cai was still in such a daze...Yang Xuan couldn't help thinking of that kind old man, "After the Tang Dynasty, there will be a bone scraping to heal his wounds."

Yang Xuan said: "When I was reading the history books, I found a problem. The more the people struggled to live, the more unscrupulous greed the officials became. I pondered for a long time...but I couldn't figure out the reason. Then I saw the small nest under the eaves, It was only when I saw the raindrops falling inside that I woke up..."

He said slowly: "Water dripping through stone is not a one-day achievement. The same is true for the corruption of officials, and the corruption of officials often coincides with the decline of the dynasty... When the country was founded, it was clean, and gradually deteriorated. In the end, it rotted. The same is true for the dynasty, which was strong at the beginning , then flourished and declined, and finally collapsed, at the same time as the administration of officials.”

……

Yang Xuan and Cao Ying were discussing the relationship between the administration of officials and the rise and fall of the dynasty, while Yue Lao Er was guarding his cloth stall.

As Taiping City became more and more prosperous, and there were more and more merchants, Yue Er Er's business was also getting better and better. His wife kept busy at home all day, and completely dumped Yue Sanshu to him.

Yue Sanshu was sitting in the back, blocked by the trolley, looking at a very dull child.If you look carefully, it is almost the same as Yue Er's expression.

Two men came over.

Yue Er glanced at it, but remained silent.

The leading man picked up the cloth and looked it over carefully, then asked, "What's the price of this cloth?"

After the two sides bargained for a while, the man pointed to the shop under construction on the side and asked, "How long will it take to fix it?"

"Probably a month or two."

"Tsk tsk! I really want to rent one." The man scratched his head, "I'm afraid the price is too high."

The man next to him said: "Last time someone said that if you are doing business that Taiping does not currently have, the rent can be reduced a lot! Brother, why don't we take a look?"

The man sighed, "You have to think about it. By the way, old man, what kind of wood is this used for? If it is not strong enough, we dare not do business."

"Brother." The man beside him shook his head, implying that he should not leak the secret.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield!

Yue Er turned around and glanced at the shop, "It's good wood."

The man asked again, "Do you know what kind of wood it is?"

Yue Er shook his head, "I don't know."

If you don't buy things and ask questions, unless you are extremely bored, who has the time to talk to you.

The man smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me."

"polite."

The two went forward, Yue Er asked, "What did Erlang hear?"

Yue Sanshu was only six or seven years old, he leaned against the cart and thought for a while, "They want to lie to Aye."

Yue Er smiled with wrinkles all over his face, "Good son. By the way, you follow and listen to what they have to say."

"Oh!"

Only then did Yue Sanshu stand up from the back of the car and followed.

He followed behind the two men, neither far nor near.

This section of the road is bustling and there are many stalls. The two men looked at the goods from time to time and asked a few words.

A man suddenly turned around with sharp eyes.

Yue Sanshu was still walking.

It wasn't until he bumped into a man that he raised his head blankly.

The man asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yue Sanshu said dully: "I didn't find anyone."

"Why did you come out?"

"Yeniang is fighting, it's so fierce, no one cares about me."

The two men looked at each other.

Fight, I'm afraid it's a goblin fight.

Six or seven-year-old children are thrown outside, aren't they afraid of being abducted?

"Who won?" the man teased.

Then I regretted it, thinking that this was an extra problem.

Yue Sanshu said in a daze, "Aniang won."

In this kind of fight, the ultimate loser is the man.

The man smiled, "How do you know?"

I talked too much again... He patted his forehead lightly.

Yue Sanshu said: "There is a lot of blood on Aye's head."

Later, Yue Sanshu returned to the stall.

"Ayer, they asked about lumber and paint and why no one looked at the shop."

Yue Er, who had only wrinkles but no blood on his forehead, said with a sinister smile: "This mother is not a liar, I'm afraid she wants to set fire to her!"
