Chapter one hundred and forty-eight

In fact, it is not difficult to ask the Qin family to help promote rural education, because the Qin family is now under the intentional or unintentional suppression of the Shu family. Although the family has a deep family, all industries are now suppressed by Qin Yong. Especially after Qin Yong took advantage of the convenience of salt to cooperate with the major families in Shu, the invisible accumulated connections even exceeded the total number of Qin's family's foothold in Shu for so many years.

In order to gain a greater living space, before not being able to take out something as profitable as fine salt to resolve the current predicament, the Shu family could no longer rely on it. If the Qin family wants to find another way out, they must cooperate with the court like Qin Yong.

Although Guo Jia didn't know that Liu Xie wanted to start the three learnings, he suppressed the Qin family through Qin Yong, and gradually isolated the Qin family in Shu. He finally gained this strength. This was the strategy formulated by Guo Jia at the time, but now it happened to be the right time to use the Qin family.

Guo Jia and Qin Yong naturally could not come forward. This matter must be discussed with the Qin family through the court. If the Qin family wants to benefit from the court, it is OK, but it must help the court start building a rural school in Shuzhong. As for the bookstore, it is not necessary yet. The court plays the bookstore card in high-profile to attract poor talents. However, there is no need for this in Shuzhong. Although it will be dissatisfied by the Shu family, it will not be directly suppressed like the Central Plains.

The Qin family has been operating in Shu for hundreds of years. Perhaps it is now suppressed by Qin Yong's advantage of salt transportation. However, the trade network that has been operating for hundreds of years has penetrated into various parts of Shu. This business network is the foundation of the Qin family. Even if Qin Yong has business talent, it is impossible to make up for it in a short time.

Although the action was postponed for two months, Guo Jia's action did not stop. The top group of people in Jizhou did not notice that recently, the prices of private goods in Yizhou began to soar inexplicably. Just as the aristocratic families led by Wu Yi and others were constantly competing with the new forces led by Zhang Song, the people in various places had already begun to make a slight disharmonious voice. Although there was no complaint, if there were people with higher horizons, it would not be difficult to find that this public grievance was constantly accumulating as prices gradually increased.

Unfortunately, the talents in Shu now focus on the struggle between the two factions and the dozens of hometown schools created by the Qin family, and have not noticed these discordant places.

...

On the other hand, Chang'an, as the gathering of scholars and even scholars from all over the world, has continued to be implemented in an orderly manner as Liu Xie has not been in charge of the government for nearly two months, but the local books and village schools in various places seem to have not been affected at all.

Yesterday, Chang'an Bookstore published a new commentary on Zheng Xuan's Six Classics. As soon as it appeared, it was sold out. Although there were many children sent secretly by aristocratic families, there were also many poor scholars who came here to see it.

In fact, the books listed on Chang'an Bookstore every day will be sold out in a very short time. Even though the bookstore has given new purchase restrictions, one person can only buy one, but it cannot withstand many people.

The Ministry of Industry's output per day is only 800 books. Even if the output has increased a little after proficiency in the business, it is only 1,000 books, and the supply is still in short supply.

Early this morning, before the bookstore was opened, a large number of people were already crowded at the door of the bookstore. These people were not all scholars. In addition to the people dressed by scholars, you can also see many people in coarse cloth and linen waiting at the door with a nervous look on their faces. Although the crowd was crowded, if you look closely, it was clearly divided. Among them were luxuriously dressed scholars and small hats. At first glance, they were servants dressed by the subordinates of the aristocratic family, and there were also poor scholars who were dressed as scholars but were relatively simple. In addition to these people, there were also many peddlers who were dressed as scholars here, including farmers, craftsmen, blacksmiths and even those who were talking about books. These people were divided into their own small groups. The scholars of the aristocratic family obviously disdained to speak with those peddlers, and even if they had not wanted to buy books, they were ashamed to be with these people.

And those peddlers were conscious that in front of these scholars, they seemed a little nervous, both in their aura and mental outlook, and took the initiative to distance themselves from each other.

"I heard that the one sold today is Mencius." A poor man smiled and said to his companions around him. Although he was from a poor family, he maintained a certain demeanor even in front of his aristocratic families, and was not as timid as others.

"Oh, that's a pity." The other people showed disappointment on their faces when they heard this. They hoped to buy some more profound books to study. As for Mencius, although it was not as ordinary as the Analects of Confucius, basically, even poor people were not unfamiliar with them. Many people even copied them from their homes. When they heard that it was Mencius who sold today, they were immediately disappointed.

"Brother doesn't know anything." The person who spoke before smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Mencius sold today is different."

"Oh?" His words immediately attracted the attention of many people, and he hurriedly urged: "What's the difference?"

"I chatted with the store yesterday and learned that Mencius was sold today, but Mr. Bo Yi's note was worth money?" The man smiled and said, "It is also the reason why Zi Rendezvous is today, so that we can have the opportunity to take a look at Mr. Bo Yi's works. Otherwise, let's not say that we are the poor men, even those noble families, who may not be lucky enough to take a look at them in their lifetime. But some people used this as a reason to stop Your Majesty from doing this for thousands of years, and it would be really a big deal in the world!"

His voice was extremely high, obviously he was deliberately letting the children of aristocratic families not far away hear it.

Many people turned their heads and glared at him, but the poor man stood proudly and looked down upon these people's glare.

"Why should this guy say something directly? It's not a gentleman to hide his head and tail like this!" Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows in the crowd, looked at the young man with a bit of demeanor in the crowd, and said coldly.

"What I said below, what's wrong?" the young man said coldly without fear.

Yang Xiu frowned. He came out today to relax. Since Sima Yi left and Zhong Yao died, the four attendants who were recruited into the palace by Liu Xie also disbanded. Yang Xiu was outstanding in talent and was recruited by Liu Xie and sent to the local area as the county magistrate. Ding Yi also went to Zuo Fengyi as the chief clerk. This time, he was recruited by the family and resigned and returned. He was dissatisfied. At this moment, he felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this person's cold words.

"We scholars do this to maintain stability in the world. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, this has always been the rule of scholars and officials. Moreover, knowledge is a noble matter, so how can we share it with peddlers and barons?" Yang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"It's really funny." The young man sneered: "Four hundred years ago, my ancestors may not have been from prominent families. They are also peddlers and barbarians, killing chickens and dogs. What qualifications are there to despise others?"

Yang Xiu's eyes turned cold and said in a deep voice: "However, after four hundred years, our ancestors have worked tirelessly and tested hard, and they have today's status. You are just opportunists who rely on our breath, but now they want to use the power of a generation to compare the savings of our ancestors for four hundred years. How ridiculous is it."

"During unremitting efforts?" The young man raised his head and laughed: "Yes, after four hundred years of efforts by your ancestors, the world of the Han Dynasty was broken down. If it weren't for the wise and outstanding talent today, I'm afraid that after the change of dynasties in the Han Dynasty, you would have shamelessly welcomed the new lord. After four hundred years of unremitting efforts, the new dynasty would have also been destroyed."

"Random!" Yang Xiu did not speak, and everyone around him was already yelling. These remarks were heart-wrenching words. I am afraid that no aristocratic family could stand it. Many people have commanded the followers in the crowd to surround the poor scholar.

"What?" The young man Huo drew his sword in his hand, and while he looked around, he felt a bit of unspeakable sharp aura, which made the surrounding family members feel timid.

The young man looked at everyone and sneered: "If you can't speak, do you want to do it?"

Yang Xiu's face was extremely gloomy, as if water was about to drip into it. He looked at the young man coldly and said in a cold voice: "If you apologize now and take back your comments just now, I can do nothing! Otherwise..."

"How?" The young man said proudly with a bit of rebellious aura in his expression: "So what can you do?"

"Take it!" Yang Xiu took a deep breath and said coldly.

"Who dares!" An angry shout sounded from the crowd, but Shi A and several Hu Ben Guards came forward, and a pair of cold eyes swept across the blue-clothed servants, instantly making these blue-clothed servants silent.

These aristocratic families have suffered a lot from the Hu Ben Guard, especially Shi A. As a sharp blade for Liu Xie to maintain public order, no one can save face except Liu Xie's orders. However, if there are children of aristocratic families who dare to cause trouble in Chang'an, Shi A will definitely detain them without hesitation. Although they usually make small fuss and make small mistakes, it is not easy to go to jail after entering the Hu Ben Guard's yamen, and it is inevitable that they have to keep them on the bed for more than ten days.

"So it's General Shi!" Yang Xiu felt a stern when he saw Shi. This was the person Liu Xie personally recruited.

"Dezu?" Shi A frowned when he saw him: "You are not your county magistrate in Baling County, how could you be here?"

"This..." Yang Xiu said a little embarrassedly: "What happened at home. I will resign and return after being ordered by me."

"Since you have resigned, you don't have the right to enforce the law." Shi A snorted coldly and glanced at the blue-clothed servants who were shrinking their heads and minds: "You should know what crime is that abuse of lynching."

"General Shi, this person is talking nonsense first, you should arrest him!" A child from a noble family said angrily.

"Oh?" Shi A glanced at the young man: "Can it be a humiliation or incitement to the people to rebel?"

"This is not the case, it's just that he insults the aristocratic family..."
