When Concubine Tian heard this, she couldn't listen anymore. She frowned and turned to look at them and scolded, "You group of scholars, who are serious and do not do anything, will you compare these things with each other?"

Fang Zhenghua and Liu Xingzuo couldn't stand it, but they didn't say anything due to their identity. At this time, they heard the imperial concubine speak, and they turned their heads one by one, staring at the scholars over there, with a bad attitude.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned around and looked at them with his hands behind his back.

When the scholars heard this, they turned to look here. They naturally realized that Concubine Tian was dressed as a man. They were surprised at first, and they were a little surprised at Concubine Tian's beauty. However, they also realized that these people were not easy to mess with, so they did not dare to get angry.

One of the scholars in the lead replied with a smile: "Young Master's words are wrong! It is precisely because we are all scholars that we like elegant things. Drinking fragrant tea, using exquisite utensils, and wearing exquisite clothes is a great pleasure in life!"

"Yes, yes, these are the most popular things in my Ming Dynasty right now." Another scholar immediately nodded and agreed, "Su, Yang and other places are even more serious. If I don't wait for these decent things, I can't even leave!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned again. He immediately said, "Your thoughts are all used here as a scholar? Not only are you, but all of Jiangnan?"

"It seems that this young master has just come from the north, right?" Another scholar immediately continued: "You can tell that what we say is true when you walk around Jiangnan for a long time. And it's not just us scholars, including the children of officials, merchants, even peddlers, etc., all of us pay attention to such decency. In fact, it's just that. People rely on one face and ignore anything else. This is a must."

"That's right, our countryside places are pretty good." The scholar who spoke at the beginning also added, "Young master is looking to go to Suzhou City. You can see wherever you go. Go out. This is the most important thing in terms of face."

Speaking of this, he stopped and gave an example: "Every household must have a set of clothes that can be worn when going out, and even if you don't have money, you must have it. Not to mention having money, you will spend your time comparing others in this outfit. You will feel embarrassed to go out to a restaurant for a meal and place it there if you don't order a few more. If you have weddings at home, then the dishes and other varieties at the banquet must be better than others to become..."

These scholars talked freely and took turns to speak, making the people on Emperor Chongzhen silent, so the conversation seemed to be stronger. The scholar closest even added: "That's true. Craftsmen had no status in the past, but now, as long as they have unique skills, such as these clothes, such as porcelain, etc., as long as they can make excellent things, they can become distinguished guests of wealthy families! Haha, in short, our south of the Yangtze River is different from the north!"

As he spoke, he seemed to be in a moment of indulgence, and he showed a sense of superiority, which faintly brought the unique meaning of Jiangnan to the northerners in the Ming Dynasty to the countryside.

Liu Xingzuo immediately felt it and couldn't help but look angry. He felt that Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about their conversation with these scholars, so he shouted: "You are so luxurious and depressed, can you know that the people in the north are not full or warm in food or clothing, and they all starve to death? Do you know that the Jianlu is raging, can you know..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a scholar interrupted him and said in an indifferent tone: "So what, what does it have to do with us? We can spend our own money as much as we want. The matters in the north are the affairs of the court, so what does it have to do with us?"

"Yes, we spend our own money as much as we like. Even the government can't say anything, right?" Another scholar followed suit.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face darkened and said to them: "You scholars can sing the national anthem? Do you remember the lyrics? "

"What's that thing? Whoever loves to sing will sing!" Or if you feel the bad things here, a scholar is not happy.

Fang Zhenghua knew that the national anthem was the emperor's proud work, and it was promoted in government offices, academic management and other places across the country. The national flag must be raised and the national anthem must be sang. Unexpectedly, these scholars were so rude. He was angry and took a few steps forward and was about to teach these scholars who did not know how to be rich.

"What do you want to do? You still want to hit someone?" Several scholars changed their faces and stood up one after another. One of them said, "My uncle is the headmaster in the Suzhou yamen. I would advise you northerners to do nothing, so as not to sue!"

Haha, it's just a small head-in-chief. The Suzhou magistrate said wildly here. If we fight, we will beat him. What else can we do? Fang Zhenghua thought so, but he didn't stop, and even posed with his hands to hit someone.

"Stop!" A light shout sounded. Although the sound was very low, Fang Zhenghua immediately stopped and turned around and walked back obediently. There was no way, the emperor spoke, but he dared not ignore him.

When those scholars saw this, they looked a little scared and did not dare to stay anymore. They packed up their things and hurried away. When they walked outside, the man just shouted loudly into the inside: "Don't you stand with us? If you have the ability to go to Suzhou City, there are too many places to go there, and if you have the ability to hit people!"

The Jinyiwei outside was not sure about it, but when he heard them shouting at the emperor, he immediately put down everything in his hands and surrounded them. He was so scared that the legs of these scholars were trembling, and one of them moved out of his uncle.

Fortunately, the plainclothes on the Jinyiwei saw their commander gesture to them and let them go. However, these scholars did not dare to speak anymore and immediately dispersed.

"Master, I should have let the villain teach them a lesson just now!" Fang Zhenghua felt that it was hard to breathe, so he said to Emperor Chongzhen.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at him, and said with a serious expression: "They have nothing wrong with saying that they say is right. They spend whatever they want! They can't beat them just because they can't sing the national anthem."

Speaking of this, he turned around and looked at the scenery in the distance, and after a while he was silent, he slowly said: "I have also heard some of the situation in Jiangnan. I have personally experienced it, but I have other feelings. Let's take a look. If it is true, as they said, the Jiangnan atmosphere is indeed the case, then the court has a responsibility, and it is necessary to take advantage of the situation, change this atmosphere, and change this situation!"

In the late Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan was full of money, while the north was in dire straits, but it seemed that the two were not in the same country and had nothing to do with each other. In the end, the bandits entered Jiangnan and Jianlu entered Jiangnan, and no one was left out of the matter.

I went to socializing tonight, and I came back late, and this is the only chapter. Thank you for the reward of the six bags of apples!
Chapter completed!
