Chapter 128: Dream of Red Mansions and Reality
The reason why I think of the Dream of Red Mansions is that I still feel that the scene in front of me is too close to how the Jia family died little by little in the Dream of Red Mansions, and it can even be said that the matter of one family is a metaphor for the rise and fall of the world.
It is easy to compare these families who don't know whether they live or die with Dream of Red Mansions, and when something goes wrong externally, the family is faced with two choices, either to cut expenses in the case of fighting for new sources of wealth, or to mix one day until they can't mix it anymore.
But it's hard.
Asked Jia Baoyu, who secretly ate in his sisters and sisters every day, to go to the border to brave the wind and snow, is it possible, and asked him to do things solidly, is it possible.
Ask Jia Baoyu, sisters, don't do it anymore, let most of the servants around him be laid off, and save a little life, is it possible.
There are elders from the future world who have come to lift the table, and they are destroying the foundation of the existence of these nobles and Confucians in a bold and rapid manner.
In later generations, the aristocracy was already a point of ridicule, no matter what kind of background, even if it was originally regarded as a ninth-rate actor, he dared to buy hot searches and claim to be nobles, what kind of emperor Gegege, etc.
And the scholars who studied the Four Books and the Five Classics in the past, the landlords who existed, are gone.
Landlords are such a social structure, they take root in the rural grassroots, rely on hard work, or frugality, or rely on the number of people to take advantage of the plunder, and gradually accumulate family wealth, in order to protect themselves, etc., began to invest in their own sons, let them study, take the imperial examination, climb up from a pass, and the child to Xiucai is almost a college entrance examination, and Xiucai is almost 30 to 50 people choose one person, such a hit rate, is no longer 10,000 people across the single-plank bridge, but live in the gladiatorial arena to slaughter each other.
As for going to the imperial capital to take the exam, the palace exam will be examined, the pressure is much less, the key is that when they reach a certain age, people are not willing to go to the imperial capital to suffer, objectively, when they are lifted, there are countless people who dedicate themselves to it, and it is not a dream to become a tyrant.
Under such a model, countless young people consume their youth on these bad things, behind a successful jinshi, it means that hundreds of people have been brushed down, this number is still a conservative number, fifty-year-old Tongsheng, fifty-year-old Xiucai, are all victims of this game.
But for the rulers, these young people who could have been trained and organized to drown any neighboring country can only be used in this way, but it is not difficult to understand, you think about it, the countries around China, all the poor ghosts of the poor ghosts, in the past robbery benefits less than the cost, these young people, in the end, let them be idle at home every day, maybe a guy is very bored, and start to stir up some kind of rebellion, chaos or something.
Just like in Europe and the United States, after the end of expansion, young people either fly leaves every day, or shoot cannons, in short, they don't do a good thing, and the government even guides behind the scenes, even if it is a variety of recreational activities, for fear that they will have nothing to do after they are full, and suddenly remember something, let's just play the game of overthrowing the American government.
Do those rulers know, know, and even understand that if this continues, they will turn China's elites into rotten goods from generation to generation, but for the sake of their own rule, they have to do it, and Zhu Yuanzhang may be forced to do this?
But now, everything has changed.
The construction of railways has made the transportation of agricultural products more convenient, and the grain from the main grain-producing areas can be transported to the destination.
If it was in the past, the peasants who couldn't get by could only stay in their hometown and wait for death, but now, the train is there, buy a ticket, where do you want to go, what are you afraid of?
And these people, whether they are aristocrats or Confucian scholars, do not understand that their former role in helping to stabilize society has been lost.
In the new era, what is needed is entrepreneurs, scientists, all kinds of professional workers with a clear division of labor, soldiers, civil servants, teachers, doctors, as a force to stabilize society, entrepreneurs open a small shop, hire people to work, maybe the salary can not make people rich and expensive, and it is impossible to dig coal to become a coal boss, but at least give people a life sustenance.
In the new era, it depends on how many people and how many things you influence.
For example, a hot search may be able to pick up a star, although most of the people are disgusted to see it every day, a certain star cut short hair and kept long hair, and a certain star appeared at the airport again to take pictures, so although disgusted, there are always some comrades with unsound minds, and the fans are brain-dead, and the people who have this hot search mechanism can almost be said to be the king of the world.
He can on you, even if it's fake, it's true.
Wu Dalang was originally a tall and mighty man with both ability and political integrity, but he was hacked into a ......
Uncle Liu Huang was originally a fierce man who killed seven and killed eight, but he was hacked into a ......
This is a later story, but it is still very sad to see that the original two pillars of the Ming Empire, the characters represented by Confucianism and aristocracy, are biting each other here, and they don't understand their fate at all.
Sen Changyi kept inviting witnesses, all of whom were residents of the imperial capital, and some of them were even retrieved from Tianjin, which shows how far-reaching the intentions are, but under such actions, Zhu Xiaoneng's black history has also been stripped away little by little.
Zhu Xiaoneng can only endure a lot of the time, there is a saying that the law does not blame the public, it is all the work of the former Ming Dynasty, in other words, as long as it is a son-in-law, who does not bully people, what kind of son-in-law brother does not bully people.
But when the last witness came up, he couldn't stand it anymore, and patted Gu Meimen next to him hard, signaling him to make a move.
Gu Meimen also pointed to the witness and said: "My lord, this is a bit outrageous, this witness can be said to have nothing to do with the proprietor of my family, not only has nothing to do with it, but even when he was beaten a few months ago, the proprietor of my family was still in the elder's detention center at all, what does this mean, you know the public funds of the imperial court, it is impossible to waste it on people like you." ”
Mori Changyi smiled proudly and said, "No, no, no." ”
He clasped his fist at Yuan Fang and said, "My lord, ordinary people, it is true that my last witness has nothing to do with the Zhu family, but it was done by one of his friends, what does this mean?" Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, our prince of Chengguo, what he looks like on weekdays, you can see it by looking at his friends. ”
Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Go on." ”
"Yes, my lord, now, everyone can understand what the defendant's growth environment is like, he has been pampered since he was a child, and as long as he copes with the control of the family every day, he can beat and scold people outside unscrupulously, for them, morality is always an act that others are required to abide by, as for themselves? You only need to rely on the power given by your ancestors in the past and bully others, then you can completely bully people. ”
Taking two steps back, Sen Changyi took out a stack of papers and said: "Here is what we have collected, the testimony of the people of the imperial capital who were bullied by these rich sons on weekdays, many times, these rich sons bully others, not even for money and women, but purely like to watch beating people, watching others suffer, being proud of themselves, and laughing, this is not a minority." ”
A thick stack of testimonies was sent to Yuan Fang, he had been in the imperial capital for many years, purely because of the political turmoil in the last years of Chongzhen, which allowed him to do it little by little as a person, and he knew too much about the situation in the imperial capital.
The old imperial capital of the old Ming Dynasty was dirty, dusty, and full of all kinds of poor people, and the powerful walked proudly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with their oppression of the good people.
There is no need for this chief to send evidence in one fell swoop, he can say it himself, so much so that he can't even remember it.
But so what?
The person who can get the so-called aristocratic son must also be an official, if he wants to kill that evil boy, he will inevitably invest a lot of energy and consume political resources, and the evil boy is not without the strength to fight back, but he has done so much, just to get justice for a fart people, which is too much.
You must know that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Rui was the only one who could really be said to have the ability and perseverance, and wanted to ask for the lives of the people and anger the powerful and even the emperor.
Just this goods, there is not much power as a backing, how can it be possible to deal with these powerful people?
"This is only a small part, I am waiting to visit the imperial capital, this is not the case, but any one of the people, can tell a lot, as for those who have been killed, their families are ruined, and those who fled out of the imperial capital are not counted, and these are the actions of the powerful represented by Zhu Xiaoneng! If you can enforce the law strictly, you will definitely be able to settle the hearts of the people and win the favor of the court, which is a beautiful thing. ”
Li Xiangqian listened to it on the side, his heart moved, as if he had figured out something, smiled, and typed to Wang Jian: "This guy named Sen Changyi is not simple, powerful, it can be seen that we plan to engage these nobles, at least stink them, and the result is to build momentum here." ”
But he still shook his head, this guy's approach is a bit risky.
Relying on the accumulation of the past, in the new city of the imperial capital, the original nobles are still very rich, although you don't want to think about it, but after all, the accumulated wealth is enough, and it has not been looted as in history, although it is constantly losing blood, because it is used to bullying and dominating the market, and at the beginning, it was also hit by the elders who had already settled their minds in turn, but after all, they are still rich masters, and the money in history has largely belonged to "my Qing Dynasty", after all, even if Li Zicheng is really tortured and looted, it is impossible to put the fields, rents, maids, Let's take it away from the shop.
These are the real wealth, and who do you think these things will go to in the end?
But this Sen Changichi actually saw through the meaning that the elders would do something to them sooner or later, at least to make a stink first, and be the first to open fire, which really made him very happy, such a clever person, can be used, but it really takes some courage to do such an offending thing.
Yuan Fang sweated slowly, he felt that he was not going to deal with those nobles by himself, although he also felt that the elders were not willing to get too close to these people, but such a statement was too radical.
Yuan Fang didn't want to be tortured like this anymore, and said, "Do you still have anything to say?" ”
Gu Meimen suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, here is a self-defense of the proprietor of my family, and if you don't dare to be arbitrary, please ask the adult to submit it." ”
Yuan Fang took it, this small character is written with a brush, and the above is a self-described word, which is about the son of Yansheng Gong that Zhu Xiao can hear before he started at that time, what is he talking to someone, it seems to be some political event, he suspects that the person is the remnant of the former Ming Dynasty, so he did this, please be aware of it.
Yuan Fang's head hurt, in this conversation, it was obvious that it was an elder at that time, and it seemed that his status was not low, and he casually said the next big deal, and it also involved the arrangements of those nobles......
Damn, this new situation, almost no one said it before.
Whether it is the above file, the testimony of the plaintiff and the defendant, they are all very interesting and do not talk about this, even at this time, Zhu Xiaoneng also said vaguely that that person may be the former Ming Yu sin, and he was angry when he saw someone talking to the former Ming Yu sin......
Yuan Fang said quietly: "Okay...... Withdraw from the court and announce the verdict at a later date. ”
The retreat from the court was also rapid, and Mori Changyi sent his proprietor away, and walked out quietly, only to find that someone was waiting for him at the door.
"Sir, my master asks you to come over and talk about it."
"Ah, today I have to go to the proprietor's house to discuss things, if there is a case for me to contact, you can go to my house, my family has its own apprentice to receive it."
"Go ahead, my master doesn't like to wait." This person was wearing civilian clothes, but he was well cut, obviously not an ordinary person, and suddenly exposed an object around his waist, and Mori Chang immediately knew what to do.
That's a repeater gun!
It has always been the habit of the common people in the imperial capital, a firearm is fired, then it must be tinkered with for a long time before it can be fired, the real repeating gun in history is an unlucky egg made for Kangxi, and Kangxi cut off the troubles, and deliberately distributed this unlucky egg.
But in the new time and space, there are many cases where the elders are issued pistols to their subordinates, and the armed forces of various bureaus, the kind of people who are of higher grade and are reused, are also more and more equipped with such easy to carry and conceal, and can be taken out at any time to make your things.
Countless gangsters have drunk and snatched it, and it has also given this kind of gun a great name and deterrence, but those who can hold this kind of gun still look like a small guy, inviting people to make appointments for others, naturally it is impossible to be ordinary people.
Different from the splendid places imagined, the place where Li Xiangqian invited people to go was the restaurant.
After a long time, he has long found that the dinner table is a natural place to see a person clearly, personality, preferences, mood, all at a glance, no wonder in Chinese history, so many famous banquets, Hongmen banquets are all trivial. 2k reading web
