Chapter 653 Isn't it a troubled world now?

ps: Thank you to the book friend "Ai Chen Nan" for your reward, and thank you to the book friend "Yuan Xing" for your monthly vote.

After this, the scholars there no longer had the interest to drink again. They stood up and bowed to each other and left each other.

The old and the young left the store and walked slowly on the street.

The boy pointed to the crowd on the street and said to the old man: "Dad, please see, Hangzhou is far more prosperous than the capital."

The old Taoist hummed, "Hangzhou Prefecture and surrounding prefectures are originally important places for taxes in the Ming Dynasty, and it may not be his contribution to this prosperity."

"Dad said this a bit biased. After all, Hangzhou Prefecture was occupied by the Qing army for more than a year."

The old man turned his head to look at the young man and said, "It turns out that the girl is a big girl but a big girl. For him, you actually disobeyed the father's intention?"

The boy covered his mouth and chuckled, "My daughter just said a fair word. But Dad clearly admired him in his heart, but he showed hatred of him everywhere, for some reason?"

"No, how can you appreciate him for your father?" the old man denied his beard and glared.

"If he was as unbearable as Dad said, how could Dad have betrothed his daughter to him three years ago? Daddy would never believe that Dad would push his daughter into the fire pit."

The old man was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "In terms of vision, being a father is not as good as you, and even worse than your uncle and your brother."

The boy shook his head, held the old man's right arm and said, "No! Dad's vision is far better than Uncle Jiu, his brother and his daughter. If Dad hadn't had a keen eye for him, how could his brother and his daughter be related to him?"

The old man laughed and the young man said with a sniff: "Ghostly spirit, I just disobeyed your father and came to flatter you again."

The two of them walked slowly while talking and laughing.

The old man looked at the prosperity of the journey and sighed: "If he could be willing to be a loyal minister and a good general, my Ming Dynasty would be really expected to be revived."

The young man said, "Don't Dad understand that even if he wants to be a loyal minister and a good general, His Majesty may not be able to tolerate him... Today, his mind cannot tolerate others and is not broad enough."

The old man glared at the young man, but nodded and said, "This is a sentence after all... the truth is, but Your Majesty is indeed not a mediocre king. He has the intention to be enterprising..."

"But there is no enterprising talent!" The young man said, "Dad, now in a chaotic world, being powerless for the king is actually a sin. Having the king of Lu is a clear proof. Having the king of Lu has not seen through it yet? Your Majesty may be a wise ruler in a peaceful and prosperous era, but he cannot be a hero in a chaotic era."

The old man was silent for a long time and said, "It's a pity that his surname is not Zhu!"

The young man said: "Is the surname Zhu really that important? Taizu was born in a poor family and expelled foreign races, did he also establish the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the country for nearly three hundred years?"

"Of course it is important! Since ancient times, the elders have not passed on to the young, and the legitimates have not passed on to the concubine. Do you think this is just a bad habit? If you can covet that position as long as you have the strength, then will there be wars in the world every day?" The old man sighed, "Just like you, although you have not been able to formally marry him, you are his wife after all. Whenever you have something to do in the future, no matter whether it is good or bad, you are the legitimate son. This is the rule! Only when the rules exist in the world can peace be expressed!"

"What if there are no rules?"

The old man said with a heavy expression: "Without the rules, rituals and music will be destroyed, the weak will be prey on the ground, and killing will be everywhere, just like hell on earth."

"Like it now?"

The old man was shocked. He stared at the young man in a daze and said, "Now? Our dynasty occupies Nandu and there is an emperor in the dynasty. How could it be a chaotic time?"

"The mountains and rivers are broken, and the lives are tragic. If he hadn't recovered the twelve palaces, where would the Qingtai Dynasty and the Yixing Dynasty come from? The three massacres in Jiading in ten days... Isn't it just a chaotic world? Why bother...?"

The boy finally didn't say the four words "deliberately pretending to be asleep".

But when the old man understood, he suddenly burst into tears.

At this moment, a cavalry suddenly rushed over, waving the flag and shouting: "The General is in triumph... The General is in triumph."

The old man quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears in the corners of his eyes and said, "Go... Go back!"

....

Baiyang Pond in Genshan Gate.

Baiyang Pond, also known as Nanhu, is surrounded by three miles and is unfathomable.

To the south of Baiyang Pond is the tribute courtyard.

The Gongyuan was originally a provincial examination and an imperial examination, and was the place where the imperial court selected talents.

Since the Qing army entered the pass and the Ming Dynasty fell, it has not been held for several years since it was held to recruit scholars.

The tribute court was thus deserted.

But now, in the Gongyuan, the sound of reading aloud is coming one after another.

At the order of Wu Zheng, he wanted to open a new school and encouraged his father Wu Bochang to be the principal.

Now the Gong Academy has been renamed "Jiangnan Academy", which accommodates 3,000 teachers and students.

He specially recruits children aged 6 to 10 in eastern Zhejiang to teach, hires scholars from Shaoxing and Hangzhou, and more than 100 juren to serve as teachers and assistants. In addition to the necessary classics and history, what he learns is patriotism and loyalty to national education. Yes, he is loyal to the nation - the Han people.

It is hard to imagine that a person who is not even loyal to his own race is talking about being loyal to the world and being loyal to the world?

That's simply the funnyest joke in the world.

Young China said that it was listed as the first lesson of admission, and all students could memorize it backwards.

Zhou Simin stood outside the school and watched Wu Xiaomei walk over among dozens of children, reciting the text.

This shocked Zhou Simin. Originally, a woman could live like this.

She was a little envious of Wu Xiaomei, and she wanted to live like this too.

Although he is a first-class lady, Zhou Simin feels boring like a bird in a cage.

She even missed the days of running away from north to south because of this. Although she was in a hurry, she was free!

But Zhou Simin also knew that she was afraid she would not be able to get what she wanted, because she was married and she was the first-class lady of the imperial edict.

After Wu Xiaomei finished class, she ran into Zhou Simin as soon as she came out and asked in surprise: "Simin? Why are you here alone?"

Wu Xiaomei has never called Zhou Simin a sister-in-law or sister, not because Zhou Simin is Wu Zheng's side room, but because Wu Xiaomei doesn't want to call him that.

When Zhou Simin first came to Wuzhuang with Zhu Mai, Wu Xiaomei had been accustomed to calling her name directly. She was first "Xiaoman" and then Simin, but she has not changed her words yet. Zhou Simin was obviously used to calling her, and she felt that she was kind to her.

It is rare for my sister-in-law to be able to achieve this.

Zhou Simin replied: "My husband is in triumph, I will report the news to my father-in-law."

"My brother is coming back?" Wu Xiaomei was overjoyed and cheered, "It's still coming back. Dad has been talking about it many times. I heard that my brother was trapped in Pinggang Mountain before. Dad was worried for several days and couldn't eat. He kept shouting to go back to Wuzhuang, saying that if there was a chance, it would be better for my brother... Well, fortunately, these school children were there, and I was intimidated by Dad, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stop him."

Zhou Simin understood, she really understood that there was no eyebrow on the battlefield, so why wasn’t she worried?
