I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 31 Can His House Be Stealed?
After reading "Kong Yiji", even Han Yu, who has always been spicy, couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. This author is really too bold.

Although he has also scolded the emperor, everyone knows what to say and what not to say. He is still very measured, just like what Lin Qian experienced in his previous life. It would be said that I am too perfectionist, which always causes things to not be completed on time...

My biggest shortcoming is that I work too hard and don't know how to balance work and life. I used to stay up late and work overtime, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill...

It's the same reason, he can scold the emperor, he can scold him, he can't scold him, and he dare not say it, otherwise, he can only travel around the world like other semi-sages, and spend his love in the mountains and rivers.

He is not greedy for glory and wealth, but he wants to help more people with a useful body. He believes that as long as he teaches enough students, one day he will be able to change the current ills.

But this "Kong Yiji" has already hit on the ills of this era, showing him naked in front of everyone.

Now, some people should jump over the wall in a hurry!

The article "Kong Yiji" is very short, but the author did not start with the story, but described the spatial layout of the tavern in detail, which naturally has deep meaning for a writer who cherishes words like gold.

The layout of the tavern, in Han Yu's view, is the basic structure of the current Daqian.

Outside the counter is a place where short-clothes gangs stand and drink, which naturally refers to the hardworking people, while inside the counter are merchants and rich people. As for the next room, it is a place where long-clothes customers sit and drink, which of course refers to the rich and powerful.

It's not like a counter, it's just separated by a simple wall, and the common people can fight wits and bravery with merchants across the counter, such as monitoring whether the buddies have mixed the wine with water, Han Yu has indeed heard of such things, and it is even said that there are some Unscrupulous merchants add something special to the food, or use inferior materials to cut costs, etc...

But the room next to it is a mysterious and unknown space for ordinary people, and it is difficult to pry into it. They don't know how the people in it live, speak, or think.

The shopkeepers are only merchants. Although they have money, they have no power, so they need to please the dignitaries in the room, so naturally they take special care and hospitality.

As for why the dignitaries in the next room don't care about it?

Of course Han Yu knew that dignitaries don't drink that kind of wine, they are all special food and wine, so naturally they don't care if your common people's wine is mixed with water or not.

At the same time, this can also intensify the conflict between merchants and common people, so naturally no one will have the energy to pay attention to them.

Reading further, Han Yu felt the author's boldness more and more.

In the article, the author strictly distinguishes long gowns and short gowns. Whether they are ordinary people or merchants, they are all short gowns. They respect people who wear long gowns.

On the surface, short shirts are ordinary people, and long shirts are scholars, so everyone respects scholars.

But the appearance of Kong Yiji broke this cognition. He had studied, but failed to pass the exam. He extracted the identity of a scholar from power and money, and no one respected him anymore.

"When he talks to people, he talks about everything."

This mouthful is also the embodiment of scholars, and those scholars in long gowns must also talk like this, so everyone can laugh at him wantonly, because his culture has no gold or money content, so the books he reads are meaningless.

So everyone's respect for people in long gowns is not that they have read books, but their power and money!

Reading this article made Han Yu break out in a cold sweat. Isn't this the case for today's scholars?

Are they pursuing the ancient way of sages?
What they pursue is to be an official through the imperial examination, and what they pursue is nothing more than money and power!
This may be the reason why the author wrote this story without using it, and it can be regarded as the author's response to the rough writing of his articles "The World Is Too Narrow" and "The Immortal".

There is also the real identity of the boy who is the main perspective, which is also a bit intriguing. The boy is obviously educated, and the person who recommends him has a lot of sensibilities. This does not mean that he has a prominent background, or has been prominent.

This reminded Han Yu of the prevailing fashion in Chang'an today. The current imperial examinations are unambiguous. If you are born in a famous family, or you have gained a great reputation before the imperial examination, it is self-evident that it will help you to get a successful imperial examination.

Han Yu could only call him a good guy. This author has offended scholars and dignitaries all at once. If his identity is exposed, he may not have a place to stand in this big business.

Although Wen Gong can be anonymous, but with his height, he naturally knows countless ways to find out this anonymous person. Now it is just that the behemoth Dagan has not noticed this little author. Can't live.

Concentrating on his worries about the author, Han Yu continued to study.

When people said that Kong Yiji stole books, Kong Yiji just blushed, arguing that stealing books could not be considered as stealing.
But when people asked him why he failed to pass the exam, he immediately showed a depressed and restless look, and his face was covered with gray. This shows that in Kong Yiji's values, failing to pass the exam as a scholar is more embarrassing than stealing books much.

This made Han Yu think of some stories he had heard before. Stealing books in order to study was regarded as an "elegant thief".

Although inevitably influenced by this idea of ​​stealing books, Kong Yiji is still an upright and kind person. He never defaulted on debts in taverns. He also taught children to read and write. Even if he was poor, he was willing to give food to children. However, he always insisted on the idea of ​​"a gentleman is poor". He still hoped to climb up the right path through the imperial examination, and he never thought about using any means of profiteering.

But in the process of copying books for the adults, he felt unbalanced. They were all reading and wearing long gowns. Why did they become powerful and powerful?

Books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone are the tools for reading and writing. Ding Juren and his like can still be dignified without these things. They are just decorations in their homes, and they don’t want to use them by themselves. They even spend money to hire people to copy books at home. He needs to rely on books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones to live, but he does not have these things.

His heart felt that these should belong to him, and even though he knew that there would be no good end to stealing these things, he still wanted to steal them.

"Stop scolding, stop scolding, it would be impolite to scold again!"

Han Yu smiled wryly, isn’t it just them? They know that offending the powerful will not end well, but they still can’t help touching those iron walls with their heads and declaring war on the powerful. They are so stupid that they are unbelievably stupid. A fate that can only focus on mountains and rivers.

Ding Juren and others are so rich, why would they hang up and punch Yiji if they lost a little book and paper?
They didn't deplore their property, but they were really angry. They managed to occupy a high position and could eat people, but Kong Yiji showed contempt for their authority. A beggar-like person dared to rebel, and of course he would die Hit!
As the people in the tavern said, "Is it possible to steal things from his house?"
