Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 144 0139 [Trouble at the door]

Lin Xun from Guangxi also closed his book at the moment, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to listen to the lecture.

His grandfather, Lin Jingyuan, was a poor man with a white head, and he only passed the Jinshi examination 12 years ago.He lived in Quanzhou when he was young, and moved to Hezhou with his father. (Lin Jingmo, the Xiaolin scholar in "Shao Song", is Lin Xun's third uncle, who is over 60 years old at this time. If he could meet Zhao Jiu, he would probably be in his 75s. He should be called Old Lin Xueshi.)
Lin Xun agreed with what Chen Yuan said, and he was even more radical!
Qin Hui was also fascinated, and gradually squeezed into the crowd until he reached the front.

Scholars are all here to take the exam, they are all the best in the country, and they are all arrogant and talented. The "self-centered theory" is in line with their aspirations, "I" is the foundation of the country, and "I" can assist the king to create a prosperous world!
Ordinary people prefer "Taoism" because it is in their interest.

"Square Moment Theory" is recognized by everyone, thinking that their own ruler is square, and those who oppress them are curved.

"Scatter, all scatter, don't get in the way!"

The city management officers in blue shirt uniforms came. They belonged to the Street Division and were called "Street Division Soldiers". By the way, they also worked part-time as sanitation workers and firefighters.

These old men usually bully small traders, but at this time, the people who listened to the lectures were examination candidates and Kaifeng citizens.

They yelled for a long time, but no one paid any attention to them.

In desperation, the urban management could only ask my father to sue my grandmother, and try to clear a way.

However, it was useless, but seeing a wealthy businessman passing by in a sedan chair, he was also attracted by Chen Yuan's lecture content, and directly asked his servants to stop the sedan chair where it was, completely blocking the road by the river.

Chen Yuan is so popular not only because of what he said, but also because no great Confucianist would give lectures to the public directly on the street.

For the first time ever, most of the citizens were watching the fun!
After trying hard for half an hour, the urban management staff gave up completely.

Anyway, there are other bridges that can pass, and the other side of the river is not blocked, and pedestrians in a hurry can go elsewhere.

After talking for a full two hours, Chen Yuan couldn't continue because there were more and more questions.As soon as he uttered a word, more than a dozen people asked questions, and the voices came one after another, as if they were in a vegetable market.

"What a great Confucian!" Lin Xun sighed.

Zhu Ming smiled and asked, "Brother Lin agrees with this statement?"

Lin Xun said: "The princes of the court are so mediocre. We, the scholars, should rise up and help the country. Today, I suddenly heard the theory of 'I am this', as if Hong Zhong Da Lu shocked people's hearts!"

Zhu Ming deliberately said: "My Song Dynasty is full of flowers like a brocade, and it looks like a prosperous and prosperous Henan. How can I use it to help the country?"

"Confused!"

Lin Xun criticized: "You only see the blooming flowers, but you don't know that the Song Dynasty is in crisis."

Zhu Ming asked, "Where are the dangers everywhere?"

Lin Xun said: "The first is agriculture, and the second is soldiers. Today the farmers are poor and lose their jobs, and the soldiers are arrogant and cannot be driven away. The hungry people flee and die, and they are like thieves. If the agriculture is not prosperous and the soldiers are not prosperous, where did they come from?" Fengheng Yuda?"

Zhu Ming smiled and asked, "How to solve it?"

"Restore the system of the well field!" Lin Xun said suddenly.

Ju Ming was almost stunned, and asked, "How can the well field system be restored?"

Lin Xun explained in detail: "This dynasty can't help but merge, and it is of course impossible to suddenly restore the well field system. But you can choose to abandon the land, or buy it from the landlord, and distribute the land to the farmers. A male can divide 800 mu of land. The big landowners who have land are not allowed to buy and sell land. The landless peasants and idlers are allowed to cultivate the land. The tax will also be reduced, and the tax should be reduced to a tithe. Sixteen males will be grouped into one Wells, there are [-] wells in a land of a hundred miles, which can collect [-] yuan of tax and grain, and [-] yuan of tax money. If there are two soldiers and one horse in each well, you can get [-] soldiers. Three thousand four hundred people and horses..."

Lin Xun talked more and more vigorously. He probably had this idea long ago, and even calculated the data of money, food, soldiers and horses.

Zhu Ming listened for a long time, this is not to restore the well field system, this is to restore the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin Xun really offered advice to the court in this way.

It is estimated that Zhao Gou also thought it was too outrageous, and threw him to Guizhou to be the secretary of Jiedu Zhang, out of sight and out of mind.

After listening to him, Zhu Ming asked, "How much property does your family have?"

Lin Xun said: "Not much, just over a thousand acres."

His hometown in Quanzhou is very wealthy, and he is doing business and accumulating land.

But Lin Xun and his son have moved to Hezhou, and they really don't have much land property. His father is mainly engaged in business.

Zhu Ming asked again: "If there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, if they are prohibited from buying and selling land, will these people easily submit?"

"Catch if you have to, and kill if you have to!" Lin Xun gritted his teeth.

Zhu Ming asked again: "Great families often collude with local officials. Will local officials listen to the court?"

Lin Xun was stunned for a moment, and said: "First rectify the administration of officials, and deal with corrupt officials according to the law!"

Ju Ming felt very relieved. Although this man was talking nonsense, at least he had radical ideas.

If you don't even dare to think about it, it's called a pool of stagnant water.

Guessing that it was almost noon, Zhu Ming decided to order takeaway and asked the restaurant to deliver food to everyone.He said to Bai Sheng: "The price will increase in the afternoon, and if someone asks the price of mushrooms again, they will say 200 Wen per catty."

"Didn't they sell 80 wen in the morning?" Bai Sheng asked confusedly.

Zhu Ming said: "There were not many people asking about the price in the morning, and it was tempting to buy it back for 80 renminbi, attracting neighbors from the neighborhood. People who come here to buy things mainly buy salt and cloth, and there are very few people who even buy tea. How can we not attract targeted customers at low prices?"

"Then someone asked why the price was raised, what should I say?" Bai Sheng asked.

Zhu Ming said: "Let's say that rare things are more expensive. Haven't we already sold three catties? As we go forward, there will be less and less left, so the price will increase."

Bai Sheng scratched his head: "Can you still do business like this?"

"Whatever it is, if you really can't sell it, just sell it to a restaurant." Zhu Ming came to reflect life, and he didn't intend to make money in business.

There are a total of more than a hundred catties of dried shiitake mushrooms, how much do you earn if you sell them all?

It was sold cheap before, and I just wanted to sell it out early, but I found that there were few people asking for the price, so I just raised the price and waited slowly.

Zhu Ming ran to order takeaway for his friends, but the delivery boy hadn't arrived yet, but a few people from the Imperial College came.

Guozijian and Taixue are nearby, and Chen Yuan lectured for two or three hours, so it would be strange not to alarm them.

Guozi Siye Chen Xun and Guozijian Cheng Gao Shu, with a few teachers, walked out of the crowd silently.

After listening for a while, Gao Shu asked confusedly, "Which school of thought is this?"

Chen Xun didn't understand either: "I don't know."

Both of them are new talents promoted by Cai Jing, and they also have knowledge, after all, they were born as Jinshi.

But the first, second and third class Jinshi are not, and their knowledge is really limited.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no strict distinction between A, B, and C subjects, and the main division was grades. Most of the time there were fifth-class Jinshi, and sometimes there were sixth-class Jinshi.The situation was so chaotic that historians couldn't make sense of it, and even Su Shi's Jiadi had different opinions.

Before the Baoyuan period of Song Renzong, the Jinshi Department even used the elimination system.

If you fail the first poetry test, you will be eliminated immediately, and you will not be allowed to take the next few tests.

Chen Xun and Gao Shu continued to listen, but they still didn't understand.

A teacher from the Imperial Academy behind them said: "I know this man, Chen Yuan, a southern swordsman, whose teacher is Yang Shi, who studied Yichuan studies. His uncle is Chen Guan."

"Heir of Luo Xue? Or Chen Guan's nephew?"

Chen Guan offended Cai Jing terribly, and Luo Xue was also a thorn in Cai Jing's side. Isn't this a chance to please?
Chen Xun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately acted angry: "Such audacity, how dare you spread Luoxue in Tokyo, tell Kaifeng Governor quickly, and arrest this person to wait for punishment!"

Gao Shu asked, "Does this matter belong to the Kaifeng government?"

"Even if Kaifeng Mansion doesn't care, Sheng Zhang will." Chen Xun said.

"Indeed." Gao Shu agreed.

Sheng Zhang is the current governor of Kaifeng, and he will never let go of the opportunity to curry favor with Cai Jing in order to gain profits by any means.

After Cai Jing came to power, he ordered the prohibition of "Yuanyou Book", that is, the prohibition of Luo Xue and Shu Xue.Even Cheng Yi was forced to move out of Luoyang, announcing in a high-profile manner that he would no longer give lectures, and told scholars from all over the world not to come again.

Of course, this stuff can't be controlled, except for the official schools, who will control the private academies?

In the past, no one had the guts to come to Tokyo to spread the word "forbidden learning", but now he doesn't know who to arrest Chen Yuan.

Shengzhang, the prefect of Kaifeng, is not sitting in the hall at the moment, but is listening to the Taoist preaching.

Wang Laozhi, a Taoist priest from Shandong, faced a bunch of officials and dignitaries, and he talked about Taoism and Dharma.There were more than 200 people who listened to his preaching, including relatives of the emperor, civil servants and generals, and even eunuchs.

A Zuo Mu official from Kaifeng Mansion tiptoed in, walked up to Sheng Zhang and whispered.

Sheng Zhang's eyes lit up, he stood up and cupped his hands, and left with a bow.

This guy was ordered by a servant of the Qi government government, and personally led people to kill Caihe, yelling aggressively: "Arrest!"

Scholars and common people were listening with gusto, and were frightened by those officials and hurriedly avoided.

Qin Hui also ran away in a panic, fearing that he would be implicated.But he felt ashamed, so he took a few steps back and stopped to observe how the other scholars reacted.

Chen Xun and Gao Shu exchanged a few words with Sheng Zhang, and then pointed at Chen Yuan together.

"This person is bewitching everyone with his gossip, arrest him quickly!" Shouted Sheng Zhang.

Ling Guxu and Bai Chongyan were the closest, and they both protected Chen Yuan. Li Hanzhang, Min Zishun and others were also rushing here.

Chen Yuan asked: "I am spreading the knowledge of sages and sages here. Is it against the law here?"

Sheng Zhang sneered: "The imperial court banned Yuan You's book, and you are here to promote Luo Xue, isn't it a violation of the king's law?"

Chen Yuan and Zhu Ming had discussed the plan a long time ago, and now they asked: "Who said I was spreading Luo Xue? What I taught was obviously the new learning of King Shu (Wang Anshi)!"

Guozi Jiancheng Gao Shu stepped forward and scolded: "You still dare to quibble!"

Chen Yuan pointed to Zhu Ming: "This is my first apprentice, let him break up with you, but I don't bother arguing with Xiaoxiao."

Zhu Ming's imperial examination and classics are "Book of Changes". If you want to do well in the exam, you must read Wang Anshi's "Yi Yi", and use "Cheng Shi Yi Zhuan" to answer the questions.

Chen Yuan knew Ju Ming very well, knew that he was always good at sophistry, and he was the best person to deal with emergencies.

"Who are you?" Gao Shu asked.

Zhu Ming arched his hands towards the north: "I am a scholar of the Eight Elements of Yangzhou, and I decline Zhu Ming and Zhu Chenggong, who your majesty wants to enlist!"

There was an uproar at the scene, especially the scholars who went to Beijing earlier, who had been in Kaifeng for many days, and had heard of Ju Ming's eight poems.

Even if they had never heard of Ju Ming, they all looked at him with reverence when they learned that he had refused to enlist.

Chen Xun, the son of the state, took a closer look and said, "The sage dares to refuse the enlistment. It seems that he must be an arrogant person!"

Zhu Ming said: "I have little talent and learning, and I happen to also read "Book of Changes", so I use Shu Wang's "Yi Yi" to prove that what Mr. Chen said today is a new study. It is impossible, you are even banned from new studies, right?"

Min Zishun, who had already run over, couldn't help looking at Chen Yuan when he heard the words.Isn't their faction a branch of Luoxue?Why did you become a new student again?

Bai Chongyan also had question marks in his head, can this school still jump around repeatedly?

Of course not in the past, it is very serious to betray the master.

But now it is possible, because Cai Jing has completely turned the academic circle into muddy water.

No matter which school you belong to, you have to use new learning to answer questions.You don't need to learn new things, and you can barely do it, but you can't conflict with the ideas of new learning.

Therefore, many scholars first learn new learning, and then apply for Luo Xue or Shu Xue after passing the Jinshi.Even the disciples of Luoxue should avoid the contradiction between the theory of this school and Wang Anshi, otherwise it will be difficult to be admitted to Jinshi.

It even happened that Taixue students learned from Wang Anshi during the day, and watched Ercheng and Su Shi secretly at night.

Locally, schools of thought are clearly distinguished because no one cares about them.But in Tokyo, government schools and examination rooms, there has long been a state of academic chaos, and Chen Yuan and Zhu Ming happened to fish in troubled waters.

Chen Yuan stood with a smile, waiting for Ju Ming's performance, the time has come for Daoyong to become famous!
