Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Lin Wenliu stood at the gate of Shuntian Mansion Yamen, looking at his fellow comrades who were roaring like waves and waves behind him, his heart became more and more complacent, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He is 40 years old this year, and as early as ten years after he passed Juren, he lived with his father-in-law in the capital to prepare for the exam.But in a blink of an eye, the Three Realms Society tried to pass, but it failed again and again.He can also see clearly that he has no life to be an official.

When he was in Baoding that year, he was considered a celebrity of medium size, and his grades in the college examination were also very good. Later, he went to Beijing to take the provincial examination, and he passed the Juren smoothly.At the beginning, he was also full of ambition and decided that he was a first-class talent.

But once he took part in the general examination and competed with scholars all over the world, he realized that, in fact, in the whole country, he was only at the lower middle level, and he was nothing at all.

With my own knowledge, even if I take the exam another 100 years, I will still fail.

The ideal is so full, but the display is so skinny.

After the path of the imperial examination was shattered, it is said that he should spend some money to go to the Ministry of Officials to manage, no matter what, he can get an official from the seventh rank, and Juren is qualified to be an official.

Helpless, he is only a collateral child in the Lin family, and the family will not pay this money at all.And he was already so poor that he could only rely on his husband's family to earn a living.

However, after two years of calling himself a mountain man, he gradually gained some fame and was regarded as a talented hermit.

People under the eaves had to bow their heads.After being a parasite in my husband's house for so many years, my husband is okay.It's just that my brother-in-law's complexion is getting darker day by day, and what he says is getting uglier day by day.After all, he needs a lot of money to walk and socialize outside.And all this money will go to the father-in-law, and if you spend more today, you will get less money for your brother-in-law in the future.

In a sense, he, Lin Wenliu, was parasitic on his brother-in-law.

This kind of feeling of being dependent on others is very bad. Fortunately, the house of my husband's family happened to be demolished recently by Shuntian Mansion, which gave Lin Wenliu a chance.

According to the compensation standard of Shuntian Mansion, the Yamen had to accompany the husband's family with more than 100 taels of silver.

The husband-in-law's family is still very satisfied. Not to mention the high compensation standard, with the money, they can build a new house instead of cramming the whole family in the 100-year-old house.

The problem is that this demolition, the family members will rent another yard outside to live temporarily.According to the temperament of the brother-in-law's family, Lin Juren would definitely be kicked out.

Lin Wenliu was anxious, and immediately came up with an idea.After communicating with my father-in-law for a long time, I decided to let him come forward to argue with the government, to see if I could hit Shuntian Mansion hard.After getting the silver, except for the more than 100 taels of compensation, he will take the rest to buy officials.

Lin Juren had a good idea. Now he offered a sky-high price of 2000 taels, and gathered a large group of scholars to make trouble.These 100 people are all well-known. If you throw a stone, you can accidentally hit a master, and the worst is a scholar.

This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule, directly controlling the direction of public opinion.

As long as these more than 100 scholars surround the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, the matter will become a big mess.Nowadays, all the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty were born as scholars. The scholars in the world belong to one family. When it comes to truth, the envoys and officials will definitely stand by their side.

At that time, if the Shuntian Mansion does not bleed heavily, it will not be possible to calm down this incident.

This matter has two advantages for Lin Wenliu.

First of all, in the past few years, he spent a lot of money in the capital, and he was already very poor.Once this huge sum of money is in hand, it can solve the urgent need.At that time, if you spend money to go through the door, you may not be able to find a good job. If you operate properly, it is possible to get a real shortage of Qipin.

Buying and selling officials this year has a clear price tag, and the money is also valuable.

The governor of a province in summer and winter gave only 3000 taels of ice and charcoal fire to the cabinet elders. Once the 2000 taels of silver is sold, if it is not done well, the county magistrate in the prosperous Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces will be able to take up one term and get two books. Ridges are back.

The key is that being an official is fun!

Didn't scholars always regard being an official as their highest ideal in the ten-year cold window?

Furthermore, once this matter gets bigger, Lin Wenliu's reputation will be resounding all over the country. He is a well-known celebrity, and Qingliu's reputation will be obtained.These days, the style of writing is at its peak, and reputation is money!

So, after thinking about it for a few days, after convincing his father-in-law and brother-in-law, Lin Wenliu sent out the posts like a snowflake, saying that Shuntianfu colluded with the factory guards to violently demolish the house and harm the people.As a result, dignified people are about to sleep on the streets, which is a great challenge to the seeds of study. I hope that the gentlemen in the capital will join him in advocating righteous actions and ask Shuntian Mansion for an explanation.

Famous scholars in the Ming Dynasty had already become a privileged class, and this group of people did not need to pay any taxes whether they were farming at home or doing business.Moreover, most of these people serve as local patriarchs, librarians, and yamen secretary offices. If there is any problem in the local area, as long as it is not a murder case, they can solve it by themselves.

The Ming regime did not go down to the county, and the basic organization was basically in the hands of this group of scholars.

Moreover, scholars think highly of themselves, as masters, naturally they cannot be the same as ordinary people.For this dispatch, ordinary people compensated 100 taels. How can we say that it is ten times more than that, so it is not considered as tarnishing the identity of scholars.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Wenliu's post was published, several scholars who knew him well were outraged.

So these people posted another post to spread the voice of justice.

Positive energy diffused in a fission manner, and soon, hundreds of Confucian scholars gathered at the gate of the Yamen in Shuntian Prefecture.

If this situation were placed in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, the factory guards would have wiped out it all, and then followed the vines, ransacked the house, and decapitated the beheaded, it may not have caused a major case.

But now is the Hongzhi period, and the civil service group has formed an interest group that can influence the public opinion of the government and the public, and grasp the country's major policies. The policy for scholars and adults is even more favorable than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.Once the scholars make trouble, the imperial court will only find problems from themselves and the system at the first time, and then offer conditions to appease the scholars.

The development trend of the matter was exactly as Lin Wenliu imagined. When Shuntian Mansion encountered this incident, it closed the door tightly and dared not talk nonsense to them.

As for Jin Yiwei, he didn't even dare to drive his opponent over.Only one ordinary Jinyi guard who spoke softly was sent over for a while, and then scurried into the yamen.

The scholars were still cursing, and more than a dozen scholars came here one after another to join the team of justice.

Lin Wenliu smiled even more happily when he thought of the bright prospect of his fortune and fame if this matter could be resolved smoothly.

But a poor scholar in his early fifties who was acquainted with him next to him said worriedly: "Brother Lin, the weather is really too hot. Even if the delay continues, more and more scholars will come to support, and the momentum will become more and more serious." It is also good for us to grow up. But people's hearts are the most difficult thing to figure out. I am afraid that everyone will not be able to stand the heat and will lose their temper. Shuntian Mansion hangs a free battle card, which is clearly a procrastination Word tactics. As long as it is delayed until dinner, everyone will go home to eat when they are hungry. It will be difficult to recruit so many people.”

The man's name was Liao, and he was an old friend who had been in Shilin with Lin Wenliu, and he was as poor and destitute as he was.Before this matter, Lin Wenliu promised to give him 30 taels of hard-earned money.

There is an only daughter in Liao Xiucai's family, who has already married her.But because of the lack of ability to buy a dowry, this procrastination dragged up her daughter's age, and it became a joke in the eyes of neighbors.

With these 30 taels of silver, it can be regarded as solving this big problem for him.

Therefore, Liao Xiucai was the most enthusiastic about this matter and was Lin Wenliu's vanguard.

There were also two other scholars who received Lin Wenliu's promise.

Hearing what Liao Xiucai said, the two of them whispered at the same time: "Wen Liu, the night is full of dreams, think twice!"

As far as they are concerned, it is best to finish a vote as soon as possible, take the money and leave.

The weather was too hot, and the scholars were in poor health. After two hours in the sun, they couldn't bear it.

It has been two hours since the group of Jinyi guards hid in the Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

The scorching sun was in the middle of the sun, and people were sweating all over.

Hearing what Liao Xiucai and others said, Lin Wenliu couldn't help but look around.It was only then that I realized that everyone pulled out their folding fans and fanned them vigorously. Everyone was exhausted and couldn't take it anymore.

Even those in poor health had already hid under the shade of trees on the side of the street one step earlier, and began to drink the herbal tea brought by the dealer in big mouthfuls.

This is noon, and the sun is even stronger in the afternoon.

Judging by the situation, there is no longer any delay.

That's okay, the people are almost here, so let's make things worse!

Lin Wenliu couldn't help asking: "Brother Liao, do you have a plan to teach me?"

Liao Xiucai: "I have treated scholar-bureaucrats kindly. Since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he has been generous and weak. He has always focused on comforting him when he encounters problems. What he seeks is a harmonious and stable situation. But there are limits in everything, and excesses are not enough. People who are dedicated to harmony The result is that the government is timid in dealing with affairs and has no responsibility. In this way, all officials have inherent complaints, and the common people are also disrespectful. Even if we make things big, the imperial court will only punish Shuntian government for mishandling it, and it has nothing to do with us .Besides, if there is no law, there will be many. What will they do with me? It is impossible to set up a big prison and arrest these more than 100 scholars, right?"

Hearing what Liao Xiucai said was reasonable, Lin Wenliu bit him, jumped up the steps, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone in the same year, fellow students, today I, Lin Wenliu, was persecuted by Shuntian Mansion and factory guard thieves. It's my family business. But I, Lin Wenliu, is also a disciple of a sage. I have achieved great fame in my generation, and the seeds of reading are important weapons of the Ming Dynasty. Today, the court of Shuntian Prefecture can persecute me, Lin Wenliu. If you don't speak up, tomorrow you will be a traitor People will find you. In this way, I have studied for so many years and gained fame, so what is the difference between me and ordinary people? You say, do I just wait for death like this?"

This sentence immediately ignited the anger in everyone's chest, and they shouted at the same time: "No!"

Liao Xiucai and others beside Lin Wenliu immediately took this opportunity to raise their arms and shouted: "I waited for the seeds of education to read the sage books all my life, and I only pretended to be righteous. Now that the Shuntian government government colludes with the factory guards, it is no doubt that I am a villain. Today, I shall rush in and seek justice from the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in front of him. Is there any person with lofty ideals who is willing to join us in doing justice?"

"I'm willing to go with you and break down the gate of Shuntian Mansion!"

Immediately, hundreds of scholars rushed forward at the same time, pounding on the gate vigorously with their fists and feet.

The entire Yamen of Shuntian Mansion trembled in this burst of rumbling.
