Chapter 338 Please see me

When we first arrived in Chen, the teahouse located near the Imperial College was already full of guests. It was very close to the Imperial College, and even walking could only take a cup of tea. And just across the wall from the Imperial College to the east was the Confucian Temple of the Capital, which enshrined the works of Confucius and Meng Sheng.

Sculpture tablet.

Therefore, the teahouse opened here is not only frequented by the supervisors of the Imperial College, but also other scholars who are happy to come here. There is nothing more than wanting to get closer to the saint.

The teahouse here is different from ordinary teahouses and restaurants. Not only does it not appear noisy, but even the tea doctors inside are literate people. When welcoming guests, they do not wear a philistine smile, but are very calm.

After asking clearly what kind of cakes and teas he wanted, he turned around and went to prepare.

Scholars still fall into this trap. If you are too enthusiastic, they will look down upon you. If you are more indifferent, they will think you are quite dignified.

In the tea shop, acquaintances sat together, drinking tea and chatting with each other, but they all glanced at the stairs from time to time.

It wasn't until three bells rang at the Confucian Temple that someone knew it was already three o'clock in the morning. After a while, a teenage boy came up with a big cloth bag slung around his waist. He shouted loudly when he came up.

: "The freshly released People's Daily. This issue contains articles by the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Crown Prince, Taifu Wang Shu and Wang Budang. The price is six cents a piece. If you want to buy it, please hurry up. It's first come, first served."

Before the young man started shouting, many people had already started taking out copper coins from their arms. By the time he finished shouting, almost everyone had taken out coins and put them on the table.

If you go to a few shops in the capital to buy this newspaper, it only costs five cents, but if you wait for people to come over and sell it with newspapers like now, it will cost one cent more.

It's only a penny, but no one cares.

Those who bought the newspaper couldn't wait to read it. The first three issues were articles by Mr. Liu Ge, Mr. Li Ge, and Mr. Xie Ge.

Now it is another article written by Wang Shu, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel.

Many people were stunned in their hearts, secretly speculating that this newspaper was probably run by the imperial court, otherwise how could they obtain these articles from the big shots in the DPRK and China.

No one doubted the authenticity of this article. No matter how courageous the newspaper printer was, he just casually got an article from somewhere and titled it with the name of the minister of the DPRK.

If you let them know, your skin will be peeled off.

Now that this has reached its fourth issue, and we haven’t seen the big guys trying to skin anyone yet, it’s obvious that this article is true.

What's more, the three cabinet ministers have all served as examiners for the general examination. Every time before the general examination, their articles are eagerly purchased by all the candidates.

Many people in the market have read it.

The first three issues, just based on the style of writing, are undoubtedly written by the elders.

The newspaper has five pages and is folded from a large piece of paper. The front page is about the promotion of stamps. Some people read about the promotion of stamps, and some people just skip it.

, turn the page and read Wang Shu’s article first.

Soon, someone praised him: "Wang Budang is worthy of being a great Confucian of the Sanyuan School. He devotes himself to knowledge and this should be his true meaning."

Some people raised their eyes for a glance, then immediately looked back, secretly curling their lips, and kept talking nonsense. The Sanyuan School originally respected the dedication of one's mind to the intellect, and Wang Shu was a representative figure of the Sanyuan School. You don't regard his articles as the true meaning.

,whose?

But these words seemed to open up the conversation, and another person said: "The imperial court is going to issue stamps, what are these stamps?"

"The writing on it is so clear that it is used to send letters, so that people can express their love for each other. People bought this stamp and put it on the letter, and then they can send it to the post office of the inn."

"The Master said: Virtue is popular, and orders are conveyed faster than the postage. This stamp and the post office are probably named after this. Now that the imperial court has established this matter, it is indeed a benevolent policy."

A scholar snorted coldly and continued: "Benevolent government is indeed benevolent government, but is this how the post station is used? Emperor Taizu Gao had already established the law. The post station was established to convey military and state affairs, and the rest was not allowed for private use. But now the country is in a bad state. Is it a blessing for the country and the dynasty to follow the example of our ancestors?"

"What kind of inventory tickets and accommodation tickets are actually issued to merchants? The post house was originally the residence of officials of the imperial court and the central government, but now merchants can stay and store inventory in the imperial court inn. How is this?"

"Yes, the Guochao Posthouse was originally used by officials, but it opened the door to merchants and was tainted with the smell of copper."

"Where is the face of the country and where is the dignity?"

After hearing this, many scholars present began to agree. Not to mention breaking the ancestral method, it was particularly uncomfortable for this inn to be used for merchants. It was as uncomfortable as if one's daughter-in-law had let others sleep with her. .

What kind of place was that inn? It was a place where officials from the DPRK and Central Government stayed when they were out on business. It was a place where officials slept. It was where scholars like them would sleep in the future. Now, even merchants could sleep there.

This is not like this.

Someone said angrily: "I don't know who made this suggestion to Your Majesty and the imperial court. It is so shameless. Is such a person worthy of living in a temple?"

"There is also the matter of road construction in the Ming Dynasty a few days ago. This is a real benevolent and good governance, but it is left to the merchants. When will the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty even merchants be able to participate? This must be the central government. He has become a traitor and slandered his father."

Everyone was talking a lot, and the dissatisfaction about road construction a few days ago broke out again. The scholar who spoke just now was even more enthusiastic. He slammed the table and shouted: "If I know who these two people are, I will eliminate thieves for the country!" "

"Hmph, these two new policies are both related to merchants. They are exactly the same. There is no guarantee that they were not created by the same person."

Hearing this, someone's body trembled, "If it is really the same person, then this person is really hateful. Is it a blessing for the people that such a person lives in a temple?"

"It is a good and benevolent government, but it is linked with businessmen. It is really tarnished."

"It's a shame that I'm not in the temple, otherwise I would have to remonstrate with your father, even if I die, I would have to stop this."

A group of scholars became angry again. In fact, such scenes were too common in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of strategies to govern the country, and to lead the troops to Anbang, none of these people may be useful, but if they are trolling people, there is really nothing to worry about. Who passed.

The tea doctor and the waiter in the teahouse didn't take it seriously at all, they just looked at the excitement. These people were just having fun, and this is the behavior of all scholars.

This kind of scene happened once a few days ago. After a while of scolding, it stopped, and then it was as if nothing happened.

Just as the crowd was raging and everyone was blushing, the scholar climbed onto the table on a stool, his face already flushed, and he said with a pinched neck: "Everyone, please listen to me!"

Hearing someone shouting, everyone present stopped and turned to look at him.

"Everyone, now there is a treacherous traitor in the country, and the princes in the court turn a blind eye to this. Below, I am a supervisor of the Imperial College, and I have received great favor from the country. The princes in the court have not been able to give advice, but how can I look at it with cold eyes?

I'm going to ask your majesty to see you. If you are willing to go, you can go with me. If you are not willing, I will never force you."

"."

After saying these words, the air seemed to be dull, and soon someone stood up and shouted: "Okay, please see me!"

"Yes, please see me!"

"Please see me!"

Immediately, the words "please see your majesty" were echoed one after another. In this atmosphere, everyone agreed.

Then dozens of people in the teahouse took newspapers, and people poured out.
Chapter completed!
