In the huge teahouse hall, dozens of scholars gathered together.

There are not only scholars who live in the capital, scholars who are preparing to take the college entrance examination, scholars who have studied here, and students who are studying in the Imperial College, which can be said to be "a mixture of fish and dragons".

But they all belong to the category of scholars and they all take this incredible scene into their eyes.

No one expected that the passionate men who just now pleaded for the people would have staged a somewhat ridiculous drama by a group of rascals.

Praying for the people has always been the responsibility of their scholars. When will they bother these rascals who have caused trouble to the people to act as a scoundrel? Isn’t this going to ruin their jobs?

After discovering that they were deceived by three hooligans, the scholars felt anger in their hearts, but their attention was almost attracted by the young man who was also a "fakeman".

Lin Qingran was born in a poor family and was born in a state of six consecutive years. With less than five years of entering the officialdom, he had already reached the third rank of Shuntian Prefecture, and has become an idol of all scholars in the world.

"The young son Zhang Wanrong has met the prefect!"

"The late-school Liu Zaihui has met the prefect!"

"The late-child Chen Mingjing has met the prefect!"

...

After many scholars learned about Lin Junran's identity, they seemed to see a star. Their eyes immediately showed light, and they surrounded them, all scrambling to introduce themselves.

Just one meter away from the table, there were dozens of scholars. If there weren't any guards in front of them, they would have snatched to Lin Qingran's feet and licked them regardless of the image of a scholar.

Wang Jun, Shen Tao and others exchanged glances. Although they had known that their teachers were deeply admired by scholars all over the world, they never expected that these scholars would be so fanatic.

Lin Weiran's face remained humble, stood up and gave a gift to the scholars, then caught a very active scholar just now and asked, "Are you Liu Sheng?"

"I'm not talented, I've seen the prefect!" Liu Sheng was wrapped in front of the enthusiastic scholar and could not leave at all. At this time, he looked nervous and said.

The scholars were confused and looked at the scholar named Liu Sheng enviously.

Lin Weiran saw him through at a glance, immediately stared at Liu Sheng's eyes, and asked with a calm face: "Just heard you shouting that you would jointly submit a memorial to restore the old salt administration, but that's the case?"

When the scholars heard that they were talking about the important matters, they also closed their mouths and turned their eyes to Liu Sheng.

"Students think that Yan Maoqing is doing harm to the people in the local area, so they should abolish his evil policies and restore the old rules to the Huaihe River!" Liu Sheng replied with a sharp look in front of Lin Yanran.

When the scholars around him heard this, they nodded and looked at Lin Qingran to show that they also thought so.

It has to be admitted that in the current concepts of many people, once they determine that this person has a bad character, they will arbitrarily think that what the person does is also very despicable.

Little did they know that many things had to be treated separately. Even though Liu Jin, who was regarded as a traitor by later generations, did a lot of bad things, he once wanted to rectify the military camp, and rectifying the military camp was actually a good way to save the Ming Dynasty.

Although Wu Shan openly made a statement at the Jiuqing Financial Management Conference, this kind of news was considered relatively secret, and many officials intend to downplay it, so too many scholars in the capital were unaware of it, so naturally they would not know Lin Yanran's position.

Lin Xuran was not surprised by this answer, but took the initiative to meet the attention of everyone and immediately spoke: "You gangs of scholars are the pillars of the future of the Ming Dynasty, but they still don't have a comprehensive understanding of some things! You said Yan Maoqing

This person should be severely punished, and our government agrees deeply. This person's character is despised by the world. However, the matter of salt administration is not that the court takes one point of profit, and the people lose one point of profit. Instead, the court takes one point of profit, the salt merchant

If you gain eight points, the people will lose nine points. This year, the court will take two points to profit, and the salt merchants will still take eight points to profit, so the people will lose ten points. At present, local salt prices are rising, and the crime is not the court, but the salt merchants are actually the salt merchants."

There is no too much subtleness, nor is there any roundaboutness, and the spearhead is directly directed at the salt merchant. If Lin Junran is still unclear about his attitude towards the salt administration, it would be a waste of scholars.

The reason why he made a statement in public was that Lin Weiran thought about it carefully.

As Wu Shan made his position, not to mention that he was the actual advocate of rectifying the salt administration, with his close relationship with Wu Shan, the officialdom would naturally classify him as an "opposition".

Now Xu Jie is deliberately ignoring their side and still proceeds with their plans step by step to restore Huaiyan to the old rules. If they don’t take any action, the matter will soon be finalized and it will be difficult to turn around again.

room for .

Lin Junran chose to make a stand here, first, take the initiative to enter this whirlpool of struggle surrounding the salt administration, and second, to disrupt the public opinion of the Xu Party and the Shangyan Salt in the two Huaihe Rivers.

After all, political struggle is not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of public opinion. The reason why the Xu Party and the salt merchants in Lianghuai chose to build momentum was to blind public opinion and thus naturally restore the old system.

this……

After hearing this, not only the scholars around him were shocked, but also the tea that came to deliver tea, their mouths were slightly opened, and a surprised expression appeared on their faces.

Everyone thought that the rise in salt prices was due to Yan Maoqing's "tyranny", but they did not expect that the one who was doing bad things behind the scenes was the profit-oriented salt merchants in Lianghuai.

"Prince Lin, you have no evidence to say this. Students think you are talking nonsense?" Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and questioned.

Huh?

Wang Honghai and others turned their eyes to Liu Sheng, and they had already discovered that there was a problem with this scholar, and the scholar next to them looked at Liu Sheng even more fiercely.

Lin Xuran saw Zhang Jun going to attack, so he raised his hand to stop him. Instead, he sneered at Liu Sheng's gaze: "The gangsters just now were lazy and encouraged to restore the old system of Lianghuai. They clearly claimed to be people from the capital, but they said they were from Huguang.

Some people have necks as big as water tanks, so you ask them for evidence? Why do you think that this prefect is making a fuss and asking for real evidence?”

"this……"

Liu Sheng was immediately refuted and suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was not a person who could easily provoke him, and his words were like a knife.

"I think he is so active, it's clearly their group!"

"Just just now, I saw him and the three gangsters in the alley, and then they sat in separate tables after they came in!"

"It's so clear that things are so clear! He and the three gangsters are in the same direction, deliberately singing and reconciling, which makes us all think of their words!"

...

These scholars naturally stood aside with their idols and began to re-examine the scholar named Liu Sheng. After some scholars came forward to expose Zhang Sheng's face, they pointed the finger at Liu Sheng.

The matter is already obvious. It is impossible to achieve the problem with Wang Houzi's three gangsters without laziness, but they need a scholar to cooperate. Chen Sheng is undoubtedly their accomplice.
