Chapter 1759 The road to whitewashing is really bumpy
"These are His Majesty's exact words, and you want me to tell them to you!"
Gu Chong said solemnly: "Your Majesty also said that the Imperial College is a school for a country, and its purpose is to cultivate talents for the country, who can use what they have learned to contribute to the rejuvenation of the country, to promote cultural exchanges, realize the prosperity of literature, and let a hundred schools of thought contend. But now it has become a trend.
The vanity fair of pursuing fame and fortune!”
The sound is deafening!
Some people felt ashamed and bowed their heads secretly, while the person who had questioned him quietly retreated.
Yes.
I don’t know since when, their original intention of studying has changed. They have lost their original intention and studied for the sake of fame and fortune.
They hang around here, no longer seeking practical knowledge, but begin to seek shortcuts, cling to relationships, and thus lose themselves.
What this Imperial Guardsman has brought is His Majesty’s explicit statement, which is sobering and shameful.
But some people didn't wake up and instead became resentful because of it!
A student stood up and said directly: "Serve the imperial court? Become a pillar of the country?"
"Now that the country is no longer a country, why should we serve?"
The person who stood up was a young man in his mid-twenties who spoke angrily.
"Keep your business!"
Someone yelled in a low voice, trying to pull him back.
It turned out that the person who stood up to question was the civilian scholar Chu Jiang Shouye, and his teacher was Zhang Wenli, the former left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was killed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Therefore, he had a desire to resist, but now that he was expelled, he was completely released.
This is quite scary to say.
To say that the country is no longer a country is a serious rebellious statement.
"What did you say?"
Gu Chong stared at Jiang Shouye closely, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Under this gaze, Jiang Shouye felt fear in his heart, but he already stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Did I say something wrong? Either kill me, or you can't stop me."
"You will get your wish."
Gu Chong waved his hand, and several people immediately came forward to arrest him.
"If anyone else is dissatisfied, feel free to speak out."
No one stood up anymore, and there were only a few people who really dared to express their opinions. Most of them cherished their lives.
"Okay, it seems no one is dissatisfied, then you can leave the Imperial College."
Gu Chong turned to Wu Hai and said: "Master Wu, Lao Guozijian will handle the matter of canceling your student status. You won't disobey His Majesty's order, right?"
"No, absolutely not."
Wu Hai shook his head hurriedly.
When a large number of students from the Imperial College were being expelled and expelled, the city of Shangjing was filled with excitement because of an announcement!
Recruitment order!
As long as you are a candidate, no matter what year you win the examination, no matter what your background is, as long as you show detailed certificates, you can apply and become an official naturalization official.
Of course, there are also hard restrictions such as age.
It's hard to walk even if you are seven or eighty years old, so of course you can't take it.
The announcement is very detailed. Those who are interested can go to the official office to sign up. There is already an application office there.
As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately aroused countless heated discussions, and many people hated themselves for not being a candidate.
Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.
Why is reading high?
It is because of studying that one can become an official.
Nowadays, regardless of origin or seniority, one can become an official by selecting a candidate. This condition is already quite generous. What's more, the newly promulgated Yuanwu official system has greatly improved the salary of officials. This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
No one expected that when the new dynasty was first established, it would not usher in a major examination of Enke, but would usher in a big move!
This announcement was not only made in Beijing, but also quickly spread to surrounding places.
Juren are also scholars. They also resisted some measures taken by Guan Ning before he came to the throne, but now they have all subsided!
I study just to pursue an official career and become an official. Now that I have such an opportunity, how could I miss it?
All the nonsense about book business and all the messy codes are left behind.
No matter how harshly they scolded them before, they are now so grateful because Guan Ning gave them a way out so that their hard work would not be in vain and there would be a result...
Liang Mingzhi was from Shangjing Suburban County and lived at the foot of the Imperial City. However, he was not a rich man. Instead, his family was quite poor. Both his parents were tenant farmers.
What is a sharecropper?
They are farmers who rent land from landlords. Their families originally owned land, but it was occupied by others. They were unable to resist and take it back. Instead, they had to rent their own land for farming. It is really ironic.
After a year of busy work, there was not much left after paying the rent, and after paying various corvee taxes, I still had to pay back.
There are many people in the same situation as his family. There are fertile fields around the capital and at the foot of the imperial city, but they have all been occupied by wealthy nobles.
If you don’t plant, you won’t have anything to eat, and if you plant, you won’t have anything to eat. Life is getting worse day by day, and there is no hope at all.
It was under such a family environment that Liang Mingzhi passed the examination.
His parents really supported him with their blood and sweat, and the whole family was reluctant to eat or clothe him and support him in his studies.
It is said that the poor are rich in literature and martial arts, but for poor people, studying and studying is also a luxury.
His father wanted him to study and become an official, and then get his family's land back. This was the old man's lifelong wish.
He lived up to expectations, passed the examination, and became a master of the examination. Then he went to acquire land, and the result was outrageous.
Not only did he not get his land back, but he was beaten up, and he was promoted.
As a result, the other party's light words can lead to great success?
It was obvious that he, a master of civil society, was unable to compete with those noble men.
He gave up completely. So what if he passed the exam?
If he wanted to serve as an official, he still had to become a vassal of these honorable relatives, not to mention that he couldn't do it.
He is already thirty-seven, how much longer can he hold on?
The world is like this, what can he do?
Now, hope has come!
He looked at this announcement and was extremely surprised. He was going to apply for the army, he was going to be an official, and he wanted to make sure that no one else would have to endure the suffering he had suffered.
He wants to realize his ambition.
Liang Mingzhi took the notice and went home to announce the good news.
When your parents find out, they will definitely be very happy to finally be able to come forward.
As soon as he walked into the dilapidated courtyard, he saw two people in official uniforms questioning his parents.
Liang Mingzhi looked panicked. What were the officials doing in this poor place?
Did something happen?
He ran over in a hurry and asked cautiously: "Sir, what's going on?"
"Son, it's a good thing, a good thing!"
My mother's face, which was always frowning, rarely showed surprise.
"These two officials are here to confirm the land with our family. The land that has been occupied will be returned to us."
"Ah, really?"
"It's true, it's true!"
The father happily picked up a piece of paper.
"Isn't this the land deed? The official said that no one can occupy our land in the future. This is what His Majesty Yuanwu requested. He said that the land should be returned to the people."
“Return the land to the people?”
