Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 329 Get Ready
The teenagers are not familiar with the government, and they seldom go to the city, so how do they know which way the gate of the government opens?
But the people are born with awe of the government, and believe that it is the place to advocate justice for the people.

So when Jiang Huzi finished speaking, let alone other people, even Liu Xuegui felt full of confidence.

"Ding Shi, why don't you speak?" Zhang Zhong noticed Ding Shitou's quietness and asked in surprise.

"I'm listening to you." Ding Shitou smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and then spoke.

"You are all very reasonable. The combination of these information is almost a countermeasure. That is..."

No one will be accepted this year, and more new students will be accepted next year. Whether it will cause trouble or not depends on the thoughts of the scholars of the Xia family.

It would be good if the Xia family didn't care about it, but if they did, it would depend on whether they were looking for faults openly, or making killer moves in secret.

Xia Jiaxiu wants to take the exam, so he must cherish his feathers.

But one possibility that everyone missed is, will the Xia family use their status as a scholar to make friends with the government, and the government just won't favor them from the countryside?

Ding Shitou smiled at the sad faces of the teenagers who were frightened by her words, and just wanted to tell everyone some practical problems through this incident.

Through this kind of thinking and coping, they can also grow rapidly. Don't think of the world too simply. Be upright but not too naive.

"Things should be within our expectations, then..."

"Next, we should also prepare early. Brother Huzi is right. Being weak and giving in will only make people think that we are easy to bully, and the bullying is even worse."

"Therefore, we can't give in. Let's hold on to the truth first. If people take good care of their feathers, that's fine. If not, what we have to face is at most the most serious consequences."

Scholars colluded with the government to suppress the village schools through social and even financial interests. At the least, the Jiujiu School was shut down, and at worst, they were put in prisons.

When she said this, everyone looked solemn, and even Jiang Huzi frowned into the word Chuan.

"This is the worst plan, but it's not a deadlock." Ding Shitou changed the subject and expressed her thoughts.

"I have experienced wars and ruins, and naturally, recuperation and prosperity of scholars are also the focus."

"You should have heard of this to some extent. The imperial court encourages marriage, farming, and scholarly studies. If someone stops studying, it is a violation of the imperial court's good governance."

"I don't think the Xia family should have gotten too complacent to compete with the court's political opinions. Even if there are corrupt officials who break the law, you should remember that the prefect is in charge of the local area, and the prefect is in charge of law and order."

"If there is an unjust case against a scholar, there is not only one yamen, let alone a government school. If the head of the mountain knows, the future of the Xia family and his son will be difficult to predict."

Since the Ming Dynasty emphasized literati Confucianism, this matter is a double-edged sword, depending on how it is used.

These things haven't happened yet, Ding Shitou believes that if the scholars of the Xia family are not too arrogant, they should also understand the pros and cons, and they will definitely not turn things into such a serious situation.

Moreover, Ding Shitou felt that the Xia family father and son should not be in the mood to start a school to teach. After all, they will go to the government school to study at the beginning of next spring at the latest. Their goal is to strive for a good score in the township examination.

But this is just what she thinks in her heart, and it is not good to guess it for everyone.

But regarding the possible consequences of offending the Xia family, she still wanted to let everyone know how to deal with it in case something like this happened.
