Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 133 Introduction to salt, the clouds in the capital are moving
Soon, in the trembling hands of the craftsman, the layout was quickly arranged.

after one day……

Su Xian came to Gewu Yuan again and looked at the first "Gewu Daily" that had been printed one after another.

The first batch prepared by Gewuyuan was the wooden type movable panels. If the copper type movable panels were poured too slowly, so after confirming the "Salt Introduction", they also worked all night. With a four-page page, from right to On the left, from top to bottom, the newsletter is divided into four parts, neatly falling aside.

There are four major pages, each with a theme.

It was enough to spark public discussion for a while.

Thinking like this, there was already a sharp light in his eyes!

He looked at the busy craftsmen below.

"What are you waiting for? Let's start... sending!"

"I will contact the owners in various cities right now."

After arriving outside the door, sure enough, the little beggars I had seen before were scattered around.

Su Xian knew what they were looking at. Although these children didn't know why they came outside to beg, there must be someone watching behind them.

Before she finished speaking, the older boy quickly said: "Her name is Xiaotang, the little one next to her is called Xiaohu, and his name is Xiaolu..."

Newly taken back?

"You have done something, why are you still calling me a beggar?"

The boy nodded and quickly ran over again. When he told several friends, they all laughed.

"Gewu Express, approved by His Majesty, those with talent will have the opportunity to be admitted to the hospital every month!"

……

"However, please do me a favor and distribute some things to other people. After the distribution, they can come and get their wages. One day is..." Su Xian thought for a while and said based on the current salary environment: "Ten copper coins ,How about it?"

"Express report! Express report! Express report! The first newly opened report, no charge, free delivery!"

The girl turned around and said, "My name is Zhi..."

The two middle-aged men suddenly stopped talking.

The two middle-aged people were talking, and an elder in the middle suddenly said:

"Wait a minute." Su Xian stopped him, "It's too slow. Your Majesty only gave you three days. It's already been three days. You guys just wait, I'll come as soon as I can..."

Seeing the group of children running away with the Gewu Express, Su Xian crossed the threshold and returned to Gewuyuan.

Hearing this, the eyes of several children showed disappointment at the same time, and the expectant eyes of the girl immediately dimmed.

"Sure, let's help you!"

"Gewu Express, covering everything from temples to rivers and lakes, astronomy and geography!"

Su Xian waved his hand, and soon, a boy about nine years old ran over...

at the same time.

Ok?
Su Xian was confused.

"Go and ask."

"There are no meat buns or meals today." In the past few days, Su Xian asked Gewuyuan to prepare some for them when preparing meals. He had the right to drive them out of this "shelter" when Gewuyuan was established. An act of kindness.

"We are beggars, begging! Do you know what begging means? We are not workers, so what should we do for them? Do we get paid?"

"..."

Su Xian looked behind them and saw several adults and beggars looking this way...

"We all have names like this. When we take it back, we will name whatever we see..."

"Brother!"

"Gewu Express, a new product is coming out, I will introduce it to you, and I invite you to enjoy it!"

……

At the same time, Su Xian was also keenly aware of the other four words.

Seeing Su Xian coming out, the girl who was familiar with Su Xian ran over quickly, and the other children also walked quickly.

Su Xian nodded, distributed some "Gewu Daily" to them, and taught them how to shout. Seeing them about to leave, Su Xian suddenly asked:
"By the way, what are your names?"

But I saw the child with no front teeth grinning and pointing at the child on the other side: "Her name is Xiaoxiao, his name is Xiaorou, and my name is Xiaobao..."

The current world environment is like this. Su Xian has not yet determined to make the world free of beggars. Everyone has his own set of rules of conduct, and beggars also have beggars.

"Let's do it. The boss wants us to settle down for a while these days. He has to throw out a few culprits. It's right to have a good relationship with him for the time being."

Seeing them leave, Su Xian murmured: "Tanghulu? Little meat buns?"

While thinking about it, Su Xian quickly walked out of Gewüyuan.

The girl blinked and looked behind her.

The timid voice of the little girl sounded, full of expectation.

Lu Shan said something and was ready to take action.

Candied haws, small meat buns... They were very fast and shouted as they rushed into the busy street.

As for the passing crowd, they only heard the word "Gewu" and the fact that it was Gewuyuan not far away. They reacted instantly and stepped forward quickly.

"Anyone can enter the grid?"

"Of course!"

"Bring me a copy, no charge?"

"I don't want the first one!"

As figures came one after another, these children scattered in other streets. After a while, the Gewu Express in their hands was snatched away.

"Is it over so soon?"

"Let's ask again..."

Either the children were honest in their work. In just half an hour, Su Xian saw them leaving and returning. First, he kept them for a meal, and then sent them some dispatches and asked them to deliver them in other directions... …

However, what Su Xian never expected was that as soon as the news came out, the reaction would be greater than he imagined!

……

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, there is the Moon Tower.

This place is not far from Gewuyuan, so someone got the Gewu Express immediately.

"Gewuyuan is taking action so soon? There is a new condiment, it seems to be called MSG! Hiss! The most delicious in the world? You are really confident. Whoever takes this can open a restaurant?"

Someone who knew how to read was quickly surrounded by many people and asked to stand on the table and read to everyone.

"Stop talking about it to yourself, tell us quickly, what's in the recruitment letter above? I didn't even go to the Imperial College last time. I heard there was a question, and I solved it. Who knows how much time has passed? …”

"Stop bragging and saying that someone else's copper ball has been replaced with a new one. How can you explain it? You're just giving yourself the gold."

"Don't talk, let me tell you..." The scholar at the table saw someone competing with him and shouted immediately.

"This Gewuyuan will publish a new report every month from now on, which will contain the progress of technology... and this MSG, and there will also be an enrollment announcement. By the way, the answer to the copper ball that was just answered is still valid. Go quickly."

As soon as he said this, the man's ears turned red with shame, and the others also laughed.

"Didn't you say the fourth edition? What is the fourth edition? It seems to be some kind of current policy theory."

"Don't shout, let me take a look..."

The young man laughed and quickly lowered his head to read. However, when he saw it, his smiling face suddenly froze.

"Why don't you speak?"

"The fourth page is...is..." The young man raised his head and didn't know what he thought of. His voice was trembling and his eyes were fearful, but he still shouted out under the urging of the people around him:
"Salt Introduction!"

……

At the same time, Guozixue!

"Salt Introduction!"

As a loud roar sounded, all the students here, four or five people, gathered in a group, all looking at the words on the last page.

"The Yanyin system may not have cultivated a public spirit for the country and the people... Under the huge profits, selfishness is at work. Some people enrich themselves for personal gain. Such people should be cut into pieces!"

"Salt merchants raise the price of salt, and the common people have no salt to use. Government and businessmen collude, and private salt is rampant? Shanxi merchants are becoming powerful... and are selling salt?"

"The salt policy of our Ming Dynasty is not a policy that benefits the country, but is actually a disaster for the country's destruction!"

Compared with ordinary people.

After all, the students of Guozixue are elites from all over the world.

At this moment, they have not yet entered the officialdom, and they are all excited. When someone thought of this, they could not help beating their chests and shouting: "Who did this...who did this? Why is Gewuyuan so bold? Haha...so cool!" "

"And there's more... and there's talk about private relationships!"

"If it is really for the country, private salt is also a huge profit. Why can't I, the Ming Dynasty, take advantage of private salt?"

"The benefits of private salt? Who is this person? Everyone knows that private salt is hidden among the people, and when it comes to benefits, it is probably even worse than official salt. The government openly attacks, but it can only be done in the city, and it can go deep into the countryside. folk?"

"Okay! It's good if you dare to talk about private salt! I'll tell the truth. I've seen government officials and businessmen turn official salt into private salt!"

Among the students, they came from all over the world, including the sons of officials and poor people.

The person speaking at this moment was Han Shi.

"This is the first place I've seen that dares to openly talk about the salt policy? Gewuyuan? I thought it was a place where people lose their minds and play with things, and use strange skills and tricks, but they didn't want to show us this for the first time. Such a great gift?"

"Hahaha! I want to go too!"

"Brother Liangyu, why don't you come with me?"

Some people are excited.

Some people also talked about the end of this salt introduction.

"Everyone, I still have a question: If we give up the salt guide, is there any other way to attract people to reclaim the border land? Or transport grain and grass to the border?"

"Is...are you asking us?"

"The government uses merchants to transport goods, so naturally it has to give them sweetness. If there is no salt, it can just give other sweetness..."

"And the most shocking final question: everyone, listen up."

"The last question is asking the world, asking me about the Ming Dynasty!"

"Putting the lifeline of a country on a mere salt guide... Can a piece of salt guide really hold up the weapon of the Ming Dynasty's military and state?"

Swish!
In an instant, Guozixue became completely silent.

There seemed to be thunder and lightning striking down, hitting all the students, and their heads were buzzing?
Everyone's eyes were blank, but a tall young man among them was the first to react.

"This question...the purpose behind this piece of "Salt Introduction"..."

"Is it necessary to abolish the salt introduction system?"

His voice just fell.

Rather than saying that the thunderbolt just now made everyone confused, this time, it was completely silent.

Being in Guozixue, they know very well that the Yanyin system is now the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration.

The transshipment departments and salt transportation envoys in charge of various salt routes, down to the provinces, prefectures and counties. Going up, it involves the now powerful Prime Minister Hu of Zhongshu Province!

As soon as this unabashed "Introduction to Salt" came out, it almost slapped Hu Xiang's face...

"But it is a fact that there are too many common people who cannot afford official salt. If this argument is based on the common people, there is nothing wrong with it."

"The salt inspection system can be established as soon as possible!"

"It's just a private profit? Who can get it?"

"And one last question, can a piece of salt lead me up to the Ming Dynasty?"

The more he talked, the more silent he became. Finally, all the students couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

They were not too scared to speak, but actually put themselves in their shoes and started to think...

……

"It's thrilling! It's thrilling!"

Song Mansion!

Song Lian, Fang Xiaoru, Liu Lian, and a group of old friends and students gathered together. During this period of time, they originally wanted to spend more time with Song Lian in the capital, and then wait until the "rumors in the capital have passed" to send the teacher away!

At the same time, Song Lian was also inviting great Confucians to accompany him to remote and cold places in the Ming Dynasty to promote Confucianism and explain the meaning of the classics.

And this kind of behavior naturally aroused the thoughts of many great scholars and prepared to go with him.

At the same time, everyone can't help but feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died. Song Lian has been following His Majesty for twenty years since he was in Zhengzheng. Now he is expelled from the capital...

What's more important is that if the rumors cannot be dealt with, they may even be killed.

Liu Lian already regretted it and used drunkenness to apologize several times.

But now...

Several people were already awake, looking at the express report in front of them.

"I'm wrong! I'm wrong!" Song Lian looked at the "Introduction to Salt" in front of him, his eyes trembled, and his tone was extremely excited.

"I'm afraid this is what Qilinzi did again. It's shocking! I thought I was abandoning the basics for the sake of the last, and immersed myself in the art of making tricks, but now that this theory of investigating things comes out,..."

"What is a sharp weapon? This is a sharp weapon!"

"Compared with this, how inferior are the methods used by you and me to fight with Prime Minister Hu in the court? He started a war among the people. As soon as this theory came out, it directly penetrated Prime Minister Hu's life!"

Song Lian couldn't help but stand up, his beard trembling:
"Yan Yin? People all over the world are asking for refined salt but can't get it, so they can only devote themselves to private salt."

"The last question seems to be asking the world, but in fact it is trying to sway Prime Minister Hu!"

Fang Xiaoru was also dumbfounded, "Why didn't this boy follow us in the first place and make a fool of himself in the imperial examinations? But today..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he remembered when Hu Weiyong approached Su Guiyuan in the Wenhua Hall.

"I'm afraid this is what happened."

He murmured, and then added quickly: "But teacher, the Yantie Official Camp has been passed down since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established it, and it is even more unshakable than the imperial examination!"

"Although Su Xian's theory raises questions, what can it say about the mountain like Hu Xiang?"

As soon as this question was asked, several other people also looked at each other, deeply aware of the difficulty.

But Song Lian took a step forward!
"No! Don't ever think like this!"

"What you want to see is not the court, but the people of the world... The hearts of the people are floating. This theory came out and opened the way with salt. Do we see that it is only aimed at Prime Minister Hu?"

"But what the people in the world see are not the necessities that are related to one's wealth and life, the daily needs, and the things that people strive for day and night but can't get?"

"This is the seed!"

“What is sown in the heart grows from a tree.”

Song Lian's voice trembled sadly: "People's hearts are changeable. The change of one person is cunning. The change of ten people and hundreds of people is for selfishness... But the change of millions of people in the world is a great trend!"

"B!"
