Chapter 1072 New Jiangnan
After burying Qian Qianyi, the grief in Liu Rushi's heart gradually subsided.
This sorrow is for Qian Qianyi and for Chen Weizhong. She was so painful that she died and was seriously ill, but when she is alive, these will eventually pass.
Afterwards, she felt confused and found that she had lived for men in her life. Now all the men she had entangled with were dead. If she was asked to be just a widow who was widowed at home, she could do it. She felt that it was a pity that she had learned hard.
Liu Rushi wanted to think about it, and planned to take a man's font and write a book, but hesitated when he started writing.
When she thought of the Qian Mansion, which was transformed into academy, she vaguely felt that the talent of the topic and the King of Jin, who is the best in the lyrics world, did not appreciate it at all.
This made her feel dissatisfied and unwilling. She finally put down her pen and fell into deeper confusion.
A few days later, the maid who followed her out of Qian Mansion said that a new virtuous temple was built in the east of the city, which also housed Chen Weizhong's tablets.
Liu Rushi thought about it, changed into men's clothes and went out again.
She pulled her hat very low and put a fake beard on her side with caution along the way, for fear that she would come across a widow, a widow, to show her face.
When she arrived at the Xianliang Temple and sacrificed the tablet of Chen Weizhong, she was about to leave when she heard a few words of discussion coming.
In fact, at this time, she had also heard several people who were saved by Chen Weizhong during the fire in the east of the city praising Chen Weizhong's kindness. But those few comments fell into her ears at this time, which were particularly harsh.
"Ha, it's ridiculous. As a governor, he was the head of the civil servants in Nanjing at that time. He could not stop the unrest and watched the thieves set fire to the people. He was a great man who went to the streets to put out fires. He was fine if he died, but he also implicated others. He was worthy of being called a virtuous person?"
"Chen Wozi is not an official who does practical things. He has some talent for poetry and has become famous by using prostitutes. He is good at speculation and is the first to submit to Zhengshuo and barely hold a high position. He really makes it difficult for him to do things for the people."
"It's a pity that I finally found a high-ranking official and didn't know how to keep useful people and ask for help. It's so stupid to do something that is not worth the loss..."
Liu Rushi lowered her head and listened, and looked at her eyes and saw that it was three scholars dressed up with sarcastic smiles on her face.
She was not very happy, and wanted to come forward to say something, but also worried about her identity. If she really stood up, she would be afraid that she would still cause criticism for Chen Weizhong, so she finally endured it.
But I feel it's not worth it in my heart.
She was worthless for Chen Weizhong, saying that she was planning her position and working hard to do it, and finally ended up with a reputation of being "unable".
And she vaguely felt that those people were right. She did not agree with Chen Weizhong's arrival in Dongcheng that day. There was a lesson in Wu Min's tax resistance. He knew that there was danger there. In the end, he went there, so how could he make up for it?
Liu Rushi lowered his head so much, and waited for the three scholars to leave before leaving silently.
However, as soon as she left the ancestral hall, another conversation came into her ears.
"Did Brother Ji Nong hear what those three scholars said just now?"
"I really don't agree with it when I heard it." A middle-aged man replied, "If you ask Governor Chen's death and what kind of benefits are the country's benefit? I think his death is the beginning of the reform in Jiangnan."
"What does this mean?"
"Jing Geng also knows that I am now a Nanjing Promoter. A few days ago, I received a case. Someone forced a robbery of a private girl and beat her husband to death. But I don't know how to judge this case."
"What's the hard way to judge this?"
"The murderer has a different identity. He was a soldier in the vanguard battalion of Qin Shuai's army. He was injured and retired from the army in the Dabie Mountains battle. His brother is still a personal guard next to the King of Jin... In addition, the victim is unwilling to pursue the case and begged me to turn the big and small matters into small matters. After all, if the people are not promoted, the officials will not investigate."
"That is the old law, now it is the new law. The new law does not care whether the people are pursuing it or not, and murder will be punished."
"The case happened before Nanjing issued the new policy. The murderer was extremely regretful, saying that it was... In the past, he had never seen such a beautiful Jiangnan beauty who had been living in remote areas of mountains and villages. He could not hold back for a while, and promised not to commit it again. He also gave the victim a large amount of compensation, but the matter did not make a big deal."
"I am blunt and frankly, if Brother Ji Nong blinks one eye and closes one eye in this case, this is the first step for you to compromise. He said he would never commit it again. If you let him go this time, he will know that the profit of power and money will surely emerge again in the future, which will be even better than the past."
"I might as well tell Jing Ge, I had the intention to retreat. However, it was just that I saw Chen Fuzhang's affairs. Today, I decided to follow the four words "only loyal to the people" in the ancestral hall, so I decided to follow the governor Chen to plan his politics in his position. Therefore, I think the beginning of the reform in Jiangnan was not the issuance of the new policy, but the implementation of the new policy. However, who will implement it? Jiangnan has been corrupt for a long time, and the trend of selfishness is deeply rooted. It is not enough to cure serious diseases without taking strong medicine. Chen Fuzhang knows this truth and is willing to use medicine to guide me. Why should I cherish this body when I Jiongong?"
"Chen Fuxun did not retreat when encountering problems, and brother Ji Nong did not retreat when encountering problems..."
The middle-aged man with the words "Chen" was hesitating, as if he was pondering something.
They had turned into a long street and were not on the way with Liu Rushi. But Liu Rushi followed without hesitation and continued to listen to their conversation.
"What's the hard thing you have to say?"
"I have encountered something recently. At this moment, I think it is a dilemma, or something I have encountered with Brother Jimin."
"What's the difficulty of learning the imperial edict?"
"It's Xingxue. You just said what was the beginning of the reform. I think the most important thing about the reform is the word "Xingxue". As long as the people of Nanjing are 50% wise and literate, officials will not dare to deceive their superiors and conceal their subordinates as they used to."
"Yes. What's the difficulty of promoting education?"
"There is a grant from the imperial court, and it's easy to say... But, does Brother Jimin think it's true?"
"Let's not talk about right or wrong, have you encountered a difficult situation?"
"Yes, the people of Nanjing are extremely disgusted with this matter and think it is injustice. However, the imperial court's instructions were placed there, and I was not willing to force the people, and I was afraid that the superiors would blame me. So someone gave me an idea... and buy some servants to pretend. When the King of Jin leaves Nanjing, the supervision in the future will be less strict than now. Then the women's school will not be done if it is not done."
"Jing Geng just said that what he did was to prevent officials from deceiveing his superiors and subordinates, but how should he be the one who deceived his superiors and subordinates first?"
"It's wrong to let a woman enroll..."
"Are we thinking right or wrong, or pros and cons?" Jiang Jinong suddenly asked.
"It's right or wrong."
"I think it's a pros and cons. In the ancestral hall, those people mocked Governor Chen, why? Because of what Governor Chen did, he avoided profits. Those people thought, "If I were Chen Weizhong, I should keep this body and make a splash." Therefore, they mocked him for being "unable to reach". We said that it would be a bad habit to let a woman go to school, but is it really a bad habit, or is it the interests of our men?"
When Jiang Jinong said this, he sighed and said, "This is what I said. The selfishness of Jiangnan is deeply rooted. This is why Governor Chen would rather die in his post than take a step back. Everyone was talking about public intentions and talked about doing things for the people. But when the interests of the people really came, everyone hesitated. It seems that it is far from enough to die a Chen Weizhong. When should we be alert to the public?"
"Brother Jinnong, don't say that, I just hesitate occasionally..."
When Liu Rushi heard them talk about this, he stopped and stopped following.
She seemed to have figured out something.
Qian Qianyi, Chen Weizhong, and Wang Xiao, these three people are the most accomplished in the world's literary world in her heart, but she seems to have understood the difference between their realm and abilities.
Why did Chen Weizhong ignore the danger? Why did Wang Xiao easily cut off Qian Qianyi's head... She has answers to these questions.
Then, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked back in the direction of Qian Mansion, and murmured.
"Nanjing Women's University..."
