Idle courtiers

Chapter 211 I have been in a bitter canteen for a long time

The first trap is that the central idea of ​​the petitions submitted by the students is only to talk about the imperial court sending mine supervisors to collect taxes, which is to compete with the people for profit.Scholars in ancient China advocated governance by doing nothing, and advocated a big society and a small government.For taxes or something, the lower the tax rate, the better, and the fewer taxes, the better.

When a tax comes out, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is good to subconsciously oppose it. This is the ancient political correctness.

If you object, you can object, even if it's a few words of motherhood, it doesn't matter.

But Zou Yinglong hinted that the students aimed their guns at the cabinet, saying that there was a villain in the cabinet.So, who is this villain?
It's very simple, whoever came up with this new policy, whoever sent the mine supervisor, is a villain.

Although the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty held high positions and powers, they still had an important responsibility to be scolded by others, and they were impeached by the officials several times a year.When encountering this kind of thing, the elders of the pavilion will smile to show their self-restraint.

Therefore, Zou Yinglong reminded everyone not to be afraid of offending the elders and speak boldly.

But here comes the problem again, the mine supervisors sent by the imperial court are all the fathers-in-law of Ouchi, and the elders have no right to send them.If scholars are allowed to discuss, the topic will eventually lead to Emperor Jiajing who likes to spend money everywhere.At that time, when the emperor was furious, Lu Zhizhou would be in great trouble as a magistrate, and a comment that slandered the emperor's father was naturally in the emperor's heart.

The second trap involves the question of what crimes Lu Zhizhou will be convicted of once he offends Wan Sui.Zou Yinglong's sentence "But there are bad and chaotic policies around you, you can talk about it" is obviously encouraging everyone to find fault with Lu Zhizhou, making Mr. Lu blush and sweat.

Being an official, no matter whether it benefits one party or harms one party, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. It will always touch someone's interests, or someone simply doesn't like you.

Not doing well is good, doing less is less wrong, doing more is more wrong, is it not easy for others to find fault with you?

This Zou Yinglong took one step after another, calculating to the extreme, it was really powerless to resist.

Zhou Nan had already expected this. When Zou Yinglong was speaking, he was paying attention to the students below.

As soon as Mr. Zou finished speaking, he saw a scholar in the crowd who moved and was about to get out of the crowd.Obviously, this person was already arranged by Zou Yinglong, and he wanted to be the first to attack and ignite the fuse of dissatisfaction with the imperial court and the state government.

How could Zhou Nan allow him to speak, and suddenly grabbed the gavel on the long case and slammed it hard.

The voice was crisp and clear, echoing endlessly, the scholar's body trembled, and his footsteps paused unconsciously.

Zou Yinglong was furious and squinted at Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan yelled at the crowd: "You are right in the matter. Why do we study books? To cultivate one's morality, govern the family, govern the country, and the world. We can't blindly study and read dead books. The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading is in your ears; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs , Care about everything. Speak boldly. Whoever wants to speak out about the traitors in the court, even if there is a bad government around him, he must also say, Jia Xuezheng, are you guilty?"

Just now Jia Xuezheng heard Zhou Nan say, "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything concerned."

He is a good-natured person. Whenever students make trouble in the state school, he would comfort him softly and make peace with him.In fact, he also thought about the prestige of the Beijing Guozijian and the provincial school officials, who would spank students if they disagreed with each other, and even expel students from their honors.

If you don't want to, you can't.

He didn't have a Jinshi degree, he was just a nine-rank sesame mung bean official, and his students were all scholars, who had read as many books as he did, and their achievements were comparable.In this kind of place where intellectuals gather together, if you want to convince the public, you must first rely on diplomas, and second, you must rely on extraordinary knowledge.Sorry, he doesn't have these two things, so he can only be a good old man.

Today, Jia Xuezheng can see clearly that Zou Yinglong came to Lu Zhizhou.Regardless of Master Lu's life or death, he can continue to be an academic officer in peace, and he should be a spectator.

Zhou Nan stopped drinking, and it took a long time for this honest man to raise his head in confusion: "Zhou Xingren, what is the crime of being an official?"

Our Zhou Xingren sneered: "You are guilty or not, I don't care if I say it, and it doesn't matter if you say it, it's up to the students to decide."

After speaking, he glanced down.

"Yes, what Zhou Xingren said is true." A scholar came out and said loudly: "Everyone, Jia Xuezheng is harming the students of the state school. I have been waiting for a long time. Today, in front of the three adults, we should get rid of this beast." .”

"Murting state school students?" Zou Yinglong and Lu Zhizhou put down their opinions at the same time and took a breath.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together. Famous scholars are the cornerstone of the ruling class, the backup force of the civil service system, and talents of the world.Therefore, the imperial court gave scholars many privileges.

Now that someone is actually killing students, that's okay.

Even if Jia Xuezheng was confused, he knew what this crime meant, and immediately shouted at the scholar: "Gu Xiucai, I have always been lenient to the students. You said that I have harmed students, which is really ridiculous. What crime are you suing me? Is there any evidence?"

Gu Xiucai clenched his fists and yelled angrily: "Do you still need evidence? Master Jia, let me ask you, according to the imperial court system, students in schools at the county and prefecture levels and Jishi School have to eat fish and meat once a month, three meals a day There must be enough. But look at what we eat, aren't you deceiving?"

Jia Xuezheng: "Everyone knows that the school eats fish once a month and meat once a month! As for the amount, my lord can give enough. Gu Xiucai, are you going to sue me for being greedy for your food? I really want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."

Gu Xiucai: "Yes, it is true to eat fish once a month and meat once a month, but they are all salted fish. Let me ask you, what about fresh fish? As for the meat, it is all lean meat, what about fat?"

"Don't say that there are enough meals for three meals a day. Is that something for people to eat? It's the same as pig food. Xiaosheng is also from a poor family, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but the food in the cafeteria can't be eaten no matter what. If this continues, Xiaosheng will starve to death."

Seeing the students talking about school food, Zou Yinglong suddenly felt uneasy and was about to speak.

Zhou Nan yelled again: "Jia Xuezheng, the food in the school is rough, and the students look disheveled. Isn't that cruel to scholars? What else do you think about the kitchen? Tell them boldly in front of Zou Geshizhong and Lu Zhizhou. The old man will naturally give you justice."

Hundreds of people have a variety of tastes, in any era, the canteen of the unit canteen cooks in a big pot, the fancy style remains the same for thousands of years, and who can afford to eat it every day.Besides, sister-in-law Jia's cooking skills are really terrible.

The students had complained about her for a long time, but now that Gu Xiucai was the first to attack her, the anger in everyone's hearts was completely ignited, and they shouted in unison: "Zhou Xingren is right, my generation has been in the bitter canteen for a long time, and the three adults will wait for me." Make the decision!"

Zhou Nan: "It is said that Mrs. Jia came to confront the students."
