Chapter 261:

Xue Tingyan's words fell, and there was silence.
He seemed to be shocked by what he said. Not only the scholars, but also some local officials who accompanied Xue Tingyan, as well as the ordinary people who came to watch the show with anecdotes.
Some people in the crowd praised: "This is good. I usually get tired of watching big shows in theaters. Let's also take a look at this debate. Recently, because of the New Deal, there are rumors everywhere. Is it good or not, since the adults who are sent by the court are willing to talk about it in front of the people of the world, we will hear whether it is really good or fake. "
"We haven't seen this kind of scene, it must be very lively by then."
For a time, the onlookers were all talking.
Those officials and scholars looked extremely ugly, especially those who sat on the ground, they boasted about their style, but they had no manners. Finally, the old man had to sit on the ground with him.
In fact, everyone knows why they are not up, but it is just a form of intimidation. To put it bluntly, it is shameless. There is quite a posture that you will not get up if you do not agree.
The plain-headed people still sympathized with them, and the public opinion was also on their side. However, after this outing, seeing the magnanimity of the people, and seeing that the people from Henan did n’t seem to be cheating. stand up.
However, their behavior of watching lively is not so big as watching lively.
Most of the local people in Suzhou City are businessmen and workers, and they do not point to farming to support their families. Naturally, they cannot empathize with those with passive interests.
How could these scholars not realize their embarrassing situation, but they did not look back at the bow when they opened their bows.
Now that Xue Tingyan gave the order, things were quickly settled.
Bu Yanli wanted to take it, but was rejected by him, but ordered to give Jin Yiwei. Obviously distrusting local officials makes the local officials even more embarrassed.
It stands to reason that Xue Tingyan should also leave, waiting for the next batch of people to arrive, but he did not choose to leave, but let people set up tents on the spot, intending to stay with these people.
Fortunately, the site in front of the Suzhou Gongyuan is wide, and it can accommodate two thousand people. Tents are set up next to each other. Those who don't know what this is doing.
Xue Tingyan disregarded Guanwei and came to sit with the farmers.
Sitting on the ground, the peasants were frightened, but they were pressed down by him. They were just nagging.
As a result, the rare sight of Dachang appeared.
In front of the gate of the majestic and holy tribute, it was divided into several places, surrounded by tents, and two groups of people sat in the center of the site.
A group of scholars who were all wearing student shirts, all unkempt, with haggard faces.
On the other side were some countrymen, and in the middle a senior official wearing a robe. They talked and laughed, laughed, and people who didn't know thought they hadn't seen them in the same country for many years.
The red sun was sinking, and a team of government officials appeared here.
They held large wooden barrels and bamboo baskets in their hands, which seemed a little awkward to see.
A man dressed as an official came to Xue Tingyan and smiled and said that Master Zhifu invited Master Xue to eat, but unfortunately he was rejected by Xue Tingyan.
The official's face was embarrassed, but Jin Yiwei, who was staring at him next to him, didn't dare to be entangled, so he left in vain.
These bureaucrats provided meals for the scholars. Since the incident of taking the test was called out, local officials were unable to persuade these people, and they were afraid that something might go wrong.
The scholars were already hungry and thirsty, especially in the face of these mud legs, they had to maintain their demeanor as a scholar, and sat upright all afternoon. Seeing that the tea is coming at this time, some people did not care about gaffes and hurriedly approached.
Someone got anxious and fell with a soft leg, while others grabbed buns in the past and gnawed.
The voice of a little baby suddenly sounded: "Grandpa, how can they eat so urgently."
It is Tian Bo's little grandson donkey egg.
Tian family left Tian Bo and donkey egg, Tian Bo was going out, and he didn't worry about losing his grandson at home, so he took it with him.
Tian Bo stroked his grandson's head and said kindly: "They are hungry."
"Isn't it like the last time there was a famine? Without meals, my father and mother are away, and there are only donkeys and grandpas?"
"Yeah, Auntie's Auntie is away, and after a while, she comes back to see the little egg."
This side is not far from that side. As early as when the donkey and egg were talking, some people's movements froze.
They were so ashamed that they looked so cold that they made the countryman read the joke. But the conversation between the grandfather and the grandson followed, but a few people were stunned.
When there is famine, when you go far away, what is left of this old, small and small?
Some people hungry at the fat white buns hungry, while others eat in small bites, while others suddenly cannot eat any more.
It was already dark, and Xue Tingyan invited these farmers to enter the tent, but did not invite these scholars. In fact, the tent they prepared was enough for these people to live, and there was no one at all.
It's just that these scholars are so tired that they will inevitably think in their hearts that since this officer wants to calm things down, he might be a good person.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
Until the peasants all went to rest in the tent, Xue Tingyan came to this group of people.
"You are all scholars, you read the books of the sages, and you know everything, the officer will not say much. Some of you have even done things for your father, and you are responsible for it. The officer is looking forward to the debate coming soon, I can also tell you what is wrong with you. "
In the crowd, someone said: "Master Xue is ridiculing students and so on? The difference is not conspiracy, students and so on are just asking for help from the world."
Xue Tinglan laughed: "The official does not ridicule you, but sincerely hopes that. You have perseverance is good, but you should also look up at the outside, not just indulge in the sage book, the more people read the book Being pedantic, ignorant of the affairs of the world, ignorant of people's livelihood. People like you, even if you pass the exam, are just like those of others, who are fooling people, acting like tigers, and people who are fish and meat, might as well be an official. "
"You can do what you say, do it yourself."
When he had finished speaking, he turned away, his back in the light of the torch, and it looked unusually tall.
In the dark, some people are whispering about something, others are thinking about it in silence, and no one knows.
The darkness receded and the dawn came.
As time passed, more and more people came.
There are people in other places, as well as people in the southern part of Jiangnan. These people gathered in front of Gongyuan, like a bazaar in the countryside, noisy and noisy.
Although they didn't know each other, they chatted with each other, chatting about crops, chatting about harvests, and talking about the New Deal, and they suddenly felt like fellows they hadn't seen in years.
Compared with the growing team on this side, the team of those scholars is a little bit more unsightly. Although scholars came to join in these two days, it was obviously not as good as others.
Over the past few days, Dachang has been discussing one thing, that is, the Suzhou Gongyuan ’s discussion on the New Deal debate.
As time passed, more and more people knew that the scholars of the Suzhou Gongyuan had stopped the exam, and more and more people knew that Qincha was holding a debate in Suzhou Gongyuan for this matter.
All of this is indispensable for the help of the Tailong ticket offices around the world, as well as Wang Ji Cai Xing and Hua Fang. Through these channels scattered around the corner of Dachangjiao, the news is like a tornado, known from south to north.
What does Xue Tingyan want to do?
Countless people said so.
Even in the capital, the six divisions and even the Jiacheng Emperor are saying so.
While talking, some people were happy and some were panicked, but unfortunately they couldn't stop this from happening.
...
More and more people gather in Suzhou City.
There are farmers, scholars, businessmen, and even civilians, many of whom are literati and hermits.
Although these people did not enter the dynasty as officials, they have always cared about the court events, and they have great influence in the folk, including some contemporary great Confucians.
In view of this, Xue Tingyan deliberately delayed the start of the conference and released news that the conference will start in ten days.
During this period, more and more people joined the two sides.
The gaunt-faced scholars changed their earlier decadence and talked with the people who joined later. And on behalf of the party supporting the New Deal, in addition to more and more farmers coming, there are also some people with lofty ideals who care about the world and care about people's livelihood.
It's a pity that as the time nears the end, the number of people who leave the school is not increasing but decreasing, but it's the people's side, not changing the previous momentum at all.
Another day when the sun rose, the New Deal debate finally opened in front of the Suzhou Gongyuan.
Unlike those lectures and conventions, there is also a venue, and everything is simple here. There are no tables and chairs, no ceremonies to decorate the face, just a layer of red felt on the ground for the seats of those attending the conference.
With Xue Tingyan saying that everyone can speak freely, the conference began.
There was no one to preside over it, and the scene was chaotic and chaotic.
They don't seem to be in a debate, they seem to be sitting together with each other, and the crowded heads on the ground make the onlookers simply amazing.
The city of Suzhou is also empty, and it seems that everyone has gathered here.
The situation on the scholar's side is not good. The other side is already crowded. If you meet a scholar, it's okay. Everyone at the same level can speak clearly to each other. However, if you meet those crop farmers, it is really Xiu Cai who met the soldiers, and it is unclear.
You and other people are also concerned, they do not understand, let you speak vernacular. When you finally speak the vernacular, they will not listen to your so-called petition for the world's scholars, but they will look like the days before you, what will happen after the New Deal.
While nagging with you, while smoking a dry cigarette, there are people who pull their feet, anyway, how come they are comfortable. You are to be cautious, others are eclectic, you are full of ambitions, others are hesitant, you can't talk about it, you can only run away.
The conference lasted for three days and two nights, countless people came to watch, and countless people dispersed again.
If you are hungry, there will be a supply of dry food, and if you are thirsty, you will have water. Countless people were said to be ashamed and fled to hide their faces, and many people were so angry that they were stunned and stunned.
So, when it comes to quarrels, sometimes the readers are really inferior to the countrymen.
If you say it well, then say it well. If you swear, they will scold the mother and it will change color. More serious, do you dare to do it? You don't have the power to restrain chickens, and people's fists are so big as to squeeze the bowl, enough to teach you to be a human being.
These seemingly unscrupulous peasants, they are humble and lowly, and they can bear it even if they scold them. As long as they can live, their endurance is beyond imagination.
But if they touched their food, they dared to work hard with you to maintain riots, but it was because they had the idea of ​​persuading these students to persuade the New Deal to benefit the people of the world.
These people represent tens of thousands of farmers all over the world. They are the cornerstone of Dachang. As long as they have their absolute support, no one can turn the storm.
Therefore, the words of those scholars who asked for the readers of the world were nonsense in front of them.
From the beginning of this conference, these scholars were destined to lose. The reason why this kind of scene will be formed is that some people are using this to announce to the world--
The people who want to do so are overwhelming! You guys still rest!
...
Located on the second floor diagonally opposite the Suzhou Gongyuan, there were several Confucian scholars wearing scribes.
One of the old men said, "Actually, we can not come on this trip. This Master Xue is really a wizard. Since ancient times, people who have been popular with the people have been overwhelming, but there are not many people who can really use people like this.
"Fortunately, this man has justice, and if he is a traitor, all people are worried." An old man next to him caressed his beard and his eyes stayed in the dazzling scarlet color of the decentralized crowd.
Xue Tingyan did not leave, but entered the field as a commoner.
He said at the end of the game, regardless of the identity of the participants, only the queue, regardless of winning or losing, will not be investigated afterwards.
Unfortunately, no one is an opponent. In the past two days, anyone who has debated with them has been silently ridiculed by them, hiding their faces.
After three days, I haven't met the enemy. It's a humanoid weapon.
"You two are not in official positions, but the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs."
Seeing the two friends just smiled, the wild-looking scribe was surprised: "Did you change your mind? You are also going to be an official, but you are so old ..."
This person really can't speak, pointing at the monk scolding the bald donkey, is this all right to find fault. Fortunately, these two have been self-cultivation for many years, and they are also familiar with the old friend's temperament, and they have not bothered with him.
"Although I haven't spared people for years, but fortunately, there are a few students, which can be of great use. In the early years, they were not allowed to join the official career because of the chaos and chaos in the central government, they were unwilling to join in the pollution, and they could not guarantee the glory Yue. Now it seems that Master Xue is a man with great wisdom and compassion, and the future is definitely not just about this. If he follows him, he will certainly be able to do a great job, benefit the people, and do not waste them reading a book. "
Wen Yan, several middle-aged scribes all nodded, but the wild scribes were stunned.
He looked at the two old friends, and then went to see the students standing next to them. In the past, he would only ridicule the two of them.
Among the three, he was unruly by nature, and Xianyun Yehe never received any students impatiently. In order not to let the two old friends compare, he has to accept a student or something?
...
The New Deal debate ended before sunset.
In fact, in the end, almost one-sided situation, how many people have been arrogant, and returned home in disastrous defeat.
As a result, the people won a victory.
Seeing the last team leaving in shame, Xue Tingyan laughed, with a smile of enthusiasm and a heart of laughter.
He bowed his hands to the few scribes in the field: "Thank you for your help, I can't say much about the words of gratitude. In short, Xue someone thank you for the world."
In a few days, his throat was hoarse, but he was completely out of his body and dazzling.
The civil servant pays attention to restraint, and Xue Tingyan has always kept it, but this time he let all the things he has collected for a long time, all released, especially hearty.
"Master Xue is more polite, I didn't wait to come here for the sake of fame, but I couldn't bear the suffering of the people. In fact, I didn't make much effort this time, or these old men were powerful."
The scribes looked at each other, and one of them said that their gaze rested on the countless peasants who were smiling and full of admiration.
Living old and learning old, they can be regarded as open-minded today. Originally, I still thought that I would turn the tide, and when I came here, I realized that a drop in the sea is really not enough.
"Since the matter is over, I won't stay any longer, so I will leave."
"If it weren't for the official to have official duties, he must be accompanied by fine wine."
"There will be opportunities in the future."
After a brief greeting, these scribes from the south and the north drifted away.
Xue Tingyan put his eyes on those peasants. After thanking them, he ordered his men to place them well.
After all the things that should be ordered were finished, Xue Tingyan felt a sense of emptiness.
He looked up at the sky and didn't know what to think. Until Hu San came to his side, he was like a big dream at first, and he just woken up, but it was shaking for a while.
"Adult." Hu San supported him.
He waved his hand and smiled, "I'm fine, I'm tired."
Xue Tingyan stayed for a whole day before slowing down, and then he was busy again.
He came here to calm down the tribute of the tribunal. Now that the matter is over, the re-examination of the township examination must be put on the agenda. It is important to know that there are some scholars who leave the exam, and some are waiting to see what happens. This matter can not be delayed.
On the other side, the examiner in the tribute courtyard was already anxiously grayed, but the court did not give an order, and they could not leave the tribute courtyard. They did not relax until they received the examination again in half a month.
At the same time, Xue Tingyan had not forgotten the basket that Si Lijian poked out. Although he did not do it, the increase in business tax is also included in the New Deal, and he has to clean it up.
He asked people to go to the Suzhou government office to file a case, and ordered people to search in many places, so he had a general idea of ​​the ins and outs of the matter.
The only thing that made him feel troublesome was that the captured weavers and workers were legally speaking, these people were very sinful, they dared to gather in riots, and not killing was not enough to relieve hatred. But in terms of human feelings, although some of these people are for personal gain, it is indeed Li Jinzhong who is not a thing.
And these people represent all the people in the textile industry in the whole Suzhou area. If these people are really handled, I am afraid that the people will be unhappy.
Xue Tingyan thought for a night and left the matter behind his head, intending to treat it as if he didn't know about it.
Anyway, he wasn't caught by him either. Even if he cleaned up the mess for the ceremonial supervisor, it was also a matter of cleaning up the additional business tax. As for those who have been arrested, it has nothing to do with him. Whoever catches is responsible.
Because of his irresponsible thoughts, people who secretly wait for a missionary response are all uneasy. I didn't know what to wait for, but it was surprising, but it was a matter of course.
With his current thriving presence in Suzhou, Xue Tingyan raised the matter of commercial tax again.
His method is very simple, rectified on the basis of the tax office, and posted a notice outside the door.
The notice contained in this notice is a classification of the increase in business tax and its implementation measures. It is said that the increase of commercial tax is actually not very high, and it is more than before, but in general, it does not let those weavers and merchants hurt.
In fact, what happened before, in retrospect, those weavers, workers and even merchants are also afraid. Waiting with anxiety all the time, who had thought about the New Deal happening again, delayed many days.
Now that I see Chincha is not investigated, and I have defaulted on this tax increase, which is also a surprise.
Seeing that everything was scheduled to stop, Xue Tingyan planned to return to Beijing to reinstate.
Now that the township tests in various regions are not over yet, and the reformists who are not able to stay in Beijing are left behind, he is always afraid that there will be moths born there, so he rushes back to Beijing.
He ordered people to pack up and set off, who knew Bu Yanli was coming.
Since coming to Suzhou City, Xue Tingyan has not had much contact with local officials.
I also intend to keep these people cold and do not want to deal with them.
This Suzhou governor Bu Yanli had only met a few times and had very few conversations. The other party had invited him to the banquet many times, but he was very busy with his official duties.
Who ever wanted the other person to come in person today.
"Master Xue came from afar, in any case, you must let Xiaguan fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Otherwise, Xiaguan will be in North Korea afterwards, but there will be no face to see the adult again."
When it comes to this part, Xue Tingyan is not good enough to push it.
It is not advisable to establish more enemies as the officials in the DPRK and China. Xue Tingyan is not willing to offend Bu Yanli before the enemies and enemies have figured out.
Then he went to the banquet with him, wine and food, until the treetops on the moon.
Because he drank too much wine the first night, Xue Tingyan got up a little late the next day, and was planning to start the journey. How could Su Song, governor Wu Heren, come to the door personally.
Almost the same as Bu Yanli's remarks, since the feast of the Zhifu went to the party, and the unreasonable governor's feast did not go, Xue Tingyan could only stay for another day.
It is already the first time for Huadeng to wait until the wine is over. Xue Tingyan couldn't help but think that no one would come to invite him to the banquet tomorrow, he could finally set off.
When he returned to his residence, he was about to order him to leave tomorrow morning, but Wei Yunjie came in a hurry.
"what happened?"
"Sir, there may be something wrong with the capital."
Xue Tingyan looked at the other party.
Wei Yunjie looked dignified and said, "Jin Yiwei leaves Beijing for a business trip. According to the system, he needs to contact Beijing Zhongzhong to report the situation every three days. Especially when accompanied by Chin's business trip to Beijing, it is frequent to the daily.
Xue Tingyan was not surprised at this, because Wei Yunjie never concealed him every time he sent a secret letter to Beijing.
In fact, it is not that he has not concealed it, but after that time, Guangjicang did not hide, and it was considered a friendship between the two. And Xue Tingyan was also very interesting and never asked. Once he had nothing to say to others, second, he believed that if something was not suitable for Jiacheng Emperor to know, Wei Yunjie would definitely imply him.
"However, this time the xiaguan contacted Beijing and China, and had not received a secret letter from Beijing and China for several days, and the people sent out had never returned."
Xue Tingyan immediately became an agitator, and the wine suddenly woke up.
"How many days?"
"It's almost ten days. Sometimes there are times when Jingzhong doesn't reply, but Xiaguan sent three groups of people to Beijing, and none of them came back. This is a bit strange. Either Jinyiwei had a hatred and was halfway down. Interception, or something happened in Beijing, these people were detained in Beijing. "
How can Jin Yiwei have a family of Qiu, even if there is a family of Qiu, who is so powerful that he can hold three groups of people, then there is only one explanation, something happened in Jingli.
A hurried footstep sounded outside the door, and it was knocked immediately after the door.
"Thousands of adults." Hearing the voice is a subordinate of Wei Yunjie.
Wei Yunjie went to open the door, and Jin Yiwei who came to report was pale.
"Adult, Li Yaozi is back, saying that the nine gates of Beijing are not under martial law. He is going to leave when he sees something wrong, but he was killed by sniping. Master, Li Yaozi is seriously injured, so please go and see."
