After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 33
Han Ruqing laughed and came uninvited. He sat down uninvited and looked like a madman. "Don't be surprised. I was implicated in the timber case and went to jail. And because of my sensitive identity, I was picked out as a pawn to criticize my actions." The distant second uncle of the Prime Minister. My grandfather was always worried and worried. He only hated me for bringing down the entire branch and wanted to kill me to please my second uncle. My father had many concubines and concubines, so it didn’t matter if I lost one of them. Remove my name from the family tree. Now I am the authentic Xianyun Yehe——"

Xu Yinxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What about your father?"

"My mother died a long time ago. She died in childbirth when she gave birth to me." The young man mentioned his mother's death casually. There was no emotion in his eyes, but he just smiled, "So I, a descendant of the Han family, am just a shell. "

Silence for a while.

Han Ruqing, on the other hand, waved his hands indifferently, "Don't talk about these unhappy things. Girl, please continue. I just said that the entire society does not allow women to be officials. I didn't understand it before. Dare I ask what society is?"

"Heaven, earth, people born in heaven and earth, and the collection of various relationships composed of people."

“What is productivity?!”

"The fruits of labor produced per unit of material. For example, eight hundred kilograms of grain produced from one acre of land, ten pieces of clothing washed by one person in a day, and the area irrigated by a water tanker at one time."

Han Ruqing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she spoke faster and faster, "Then what is resource monopoly?"

"A thing is restricted by social rules and is only allowed to be given to a certain person or a certain group. If other people want this thing, they must get it from this person. The price, output, and how to buy and sell are all decided by this person. For example, common salt, minerals, iron, and educational resources——"

Han Ruqing was very puzzled and immediately shouted: "This is wrong, there is no monopoly on educational resources -"

"Naturally, it is a monopoly in the hands of the scholar group. If you want to obtain knowledge, you must find a way. Anything that requires energy and money, cannot be easily obtained everywhere, and can only be found among specific groups of people, I define it as a monopoly . Think about it carefully, do educational resources meet the necessary conditions for monopoly?"

Han Ruqing retorted: "But if a person wants to obtain knowledge, he must learn from the scholars...group..." Han Ruqing seemed not to be used to Xu Zhenying's words, "That's just because knowledge belongs to the scholars. If you don't If you look to scholars to obtain it, who else can you turn to? According to your logic, then you must require scholars to impart knowledge to others regardless of remuneration, in order for it to be considered a monopoly?"

"I'm just saying that knowledge is in the hands of a few people. If others want to obtain it, they must find a specific group of people. Monopoly is inherently accompanied by interests, and it does not mean that people talk about it. It's like if I want to eat salt first, then I have to go to the salt dealer, and the price is determined by the salt dealer. Then if I want to study, I have to go to the scholar group, and the conditions are set by them. Salt and educational resources form a monopoly."

"This..." Han Ruqing felt something was wrong, but couldn't put it in words, so she scratched her ears and cheeks in discomfort.He subconsciously felt that it was indescribably weird to tie the words "Book of Sages" and "Profit" together.

Xu Zhenying ignored his confusion, tilted her head and asked Xu Yinxi, "Where did you just say?"

Xu Yinxi coughed lowly and felt extremely ashamed when he thought of his heroic words just now.Oh my God, she, a woman, was actually tempted to say such outrageous things as being more powerful than her own father.If any bystander listened, they would probably scold her for being disrespectful to her elders and disrespectful of ethics.

"I just talked about...ahem...about women being officials."

"Oh, yes. As I said, if a society has advanced productivity, cheap and accessible educational resources, and a good and open social atmosphere, then it is not difficult for women to become officials."

Han Ruqing jumped up with excitement and raised her voice, "You put it simply, but the yield per mu is thousands of pounds, the people have enough food and clothing, pens, inks, paper and inkstones are sold at low prices, and the country allows women to take the imperial examination. I have read all these things one by one in the history books. You have never seen a corner of this prosperous age, you are... simply talking nonsense! A madman is talking nonsense! This is impossible! Tell me, how can you do it with just a thousand catties per mu?"

"Popular education, cultivating agricultural production talents, allocating experimental land at the state's expense, cultivating fine varieties, improving agricultural tools, accurate perpetual calendar——"

Xu Zhenying studied chemical engineering and did not understand agriculture, but she also knew that Grandpa Yuan Longping's hybrid rice could produce about a thousand kilograms per acre.

"Agricultural production talents? Do you want those talented people to help people farm?" Han Ruqing's expression changed, and then the light in his eyes dimmed instantly. He seemed to wake up from the feverish state just now, and then he even felt incredible and laughed. "You ask those scholars who have studied hard for decades to abandon their great future and run into the fields with their backs to the loess and their faces to the soil? Paradox! Do you know that the children of poor families spend their entire lives with only the strength of the whole family? In order to get rid of the fate of farming, now you can knock a family back to their original position with just one word, how cruel your heart is!"

"Crazy! You are deceiving the public with your monstrous words!" Han Ruqing seemed to have been greatly deceived. She stood up and walked away, "I thought she really had some wisdom in the world, but I only met a crazy female who talked nonsense! What kind of mother?" Giving birth to a thousand catties, having enough food and clothing, and taking the imperial examination for women are ridiculous—"

Xu Qingying certainly didn't want to explain the diversity of talents to Han Ruqing. In the Zhou Dynasty where Confucianism was respected, scholars always had only one purpose, to become an official.Because only the gentry could barely be regarded as human beings, scholars had almost no other choice except being an official.

Han Ruqing suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed, as if he had seen a ghost. He was sweating profusely, and felt that his breathing was an inch shorter. He gasped and looked at Xu Zhenying, "You are trying to destroy my Confucian heritage!! Your intentions are sinister! , his crime deserves to be punished!"

Xu Yinxi, who was listening in the audience, turned pale when she heard this. She knew how big a crime it was, and immediately shouted: "Master Han, don't talk nonsense, don't bully my two sisters for being given such a big label at a young age! Not to mention when the Zhou Dynasty Being punished for your speech? Even if you are, it’s not your turn, an exiled person, to say it!”

Han Ruqing calmed down for a moment, realizing that he had lost his composure. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed over his hand in a good-tempered manner: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I didn't mean to embarrass the two girls, but I just got excited and said something indiscriminately. Please forgive me, two girls."

Xu Zhenying glanced at him and seemed not to notice his gaffe at all. Instead, he smiled lightly: "What's the crime? It's just a discussion under the moon. The Zhou Dynasty was not guilty of speech. What you and I say today , is nothing more than a good hope for the future society. Just like the discussion about the commonality of the world in the "Book of Rites", Confucius's ideas also transcended the society at that time, but no one has ever accused Confucius of deceiving the public with his evil words, right? "
