Seeing this young scholar being slapped by his own Lao Tzu, many people present also shook their heads secretly.

There are so many people here tonight, almost including most of the officials and gentry in Zhenjiang Mansion, their knowledge and knowledge are not as good as that of a young scholar? Didn't you see so many old and serious people who didn't speak, but you jumped out, and you are really a nerd who is stupid in reading.

After the gentleman scolded his son, he bowed his hand to Yang Feng and said: "Lord Yang, the dog has inadvertently contradicted the adult, I hope that the adult Haihan will not worry about the dog, the old man is here to make amends to the adult for the dog." ”

"Daddy...... It's obvious that he is talking nonsense...... "The young scholar was unconvinced and wanted to speak, but as soon as he said that, he received another slap in the face on the other side, this time it made the middle-aged man angry, and pointed at the scholar and shouted: "You rebel, you dare to talk back, do you really think that I don't dare to practice family law?" Why did I, Feng Anjian, give birth to such an idiot as you. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and wanted to hit someone again.

"Okay, Feng Yuan is angry!"

Yang Feng stopped Feng Anjian's actions with his words: "Feng Yuan, stop it, this official wants to have a good chat with your son." ”

After speaking, Yang Feng turned his head to the scholar and said, "Looking at this son's dress, he should be reading, right?" I don't know what to call it? ”

Although this scholar was beaten by his father and his face was a little swollen on both sides, he was still very unconvinced, and after hearing Yang Feng's question, he stood up straight and said proudly: "No, Feng Youlun, last year, the township test was a mistake for the Zhenjiang Mansion. ”

"Oh...... It's actually lifting people? ”

Yang Feng was a little surprised at this time, seeing that this Feng Youlun was only twenty-three or four years old, and he already had a reputation for being a person, which was very rare.

However, Yang Feng was only slightly surprised, glanced at Feng Youlun up and down, and found that this guy was tall and had good facial features, and the important thing was that he also had a national face.

As the saying goes, Yang Feng has been a thousand households for several months, and he has dealt with Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, for a period of time, plus he trained soldiers and horses every day and led a large army to fight with the Japanese Invaders today, and killed dozens of Japanese Invaders with his own hands, even Yang Feng himself did not notice it, he had unconsciously cultivated the majesty of an official and the iron and blood of a soldier, when he looked at it seriously, Feng Youlun only felt a great pressure enveloping his body, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Just as Feng Youlun was clenching his hands and his face gradually turned a little pale, Yang Feng spoke, "Feng Youlun, you just said that this official is a group of nonsense and gossip, I don't know what basis you have to say this?" ”

Feng Youlun endured his nervousness and said in a trembling voice: "This is the case, I want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in all directions, and its territory is vast. But the adults said that my Ming Dynasty only occupies a small corner of the world, and there are so many countries outside that are comparable to my Ming Dynasty, this is not nonsense, what is it to confuse the public? ”

Yang Feng shook his head helplessly, stared at Feng Youlun and said, "This official once heard a sentence, that is, without investigation, there is no right to speak. This means that if you don't know something in detail or see it with your own eyes, you'd better not talk about it.

What you said about my Ming Dynasty and the surrender of the Heavenly Dynasty is just you scholars sitting at home and closing the door to your own obscenity, in fact, I am now in the midst of internal and external troubles. Not to mention anything else, in the northeast today, the thief chief Nurhachi has occupied most of Liaodong, and a few days ago occupied our Shenyang City and renamed it Shengjing, and now it has changed its name to Houjin and openly fought against our Ming Dynasty.

There are thieves and bandits on the coast, and the Dutch and Spaniards occupy Dayuan (Taiwan) on the sea, and there are displaced people everywhere, can such a Ming Dynasty also be able to say that the four sides of the Heavenly Empire surrendered? ”

Hearing this, no one present made a sound, and Feng Youlun lowered his head and did not speak.

After all, this kind of thing is well known, and they can't deny it head-on, but Feng Youlun still mustered up the courage to say.

"Lord Yang said so, it's hard for you to be to these places?"

"Of course, the official can tell you clearly that the official has been to these places." Yang Feng said confidently while comforting himself psychologically, my brother had watched it on TV.

"At the age of eight, he went to sea with his family and blocked the attack all over the world. Whether it is England, Franco, France, the Netherlands, or Portugal, they have all left the footprints of the official, and the map was drawn by the official by hand for more than ten years, and the official can tell anyone that all the countries on this map are real. And Feng Gongzi stood up and questioned the official's words just because he had read a few books, but you can tell me, who is talking nonsense? ”

"I ...... This ......"

Feng Youlun was forced to ask so much that he couldn't speak, his face flushed for a while, and some people who originally thought the same as Feng Youlun were also dumb, they have already said it, they have seen it with their own eyes, what else can you do? You can't close your eyes and deny it.

Yang Feng continued: "My generation of scholars, we can't just sit at home and read, but also go out to see the world and see what my world is like, otherwise we can only do it behind closed doors, and in the end we can only read and become fools." Today's world is not the same as it used to be, in the distant Obarro, where the people are still poor, but they dare to take risks and fight, dozens of them dare to drive a small boat across the vast sea for months or even a year to take adventures thousands of miles away.

Those Francos and Dutchmen, they bought porcelain and tea from our Daming, and after returning to their hometowns, they sold them for ten times and dozens of times the profits, and then they trafficked spices, glass, clocks and other items from their hometowns to our Daming to sell. It was with this adventurous spirit that they built one powerful nation after another. On the other hand, we hold the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, and believe in what half of the Analects rule the world, even if such a person is admitted to the Jinshi and becomes an official, he is just a confused official, don't be unconvinced. ”

Seeing the disapproving looks in the eyes of many people around him, Yang Feng said to Feng Youlun: "Feng Gongzi, now that you have the fame of raising people, according to the rules of our court, you also have the qualifications to be an official." Then this official asks you, if the imperial court delegates you to be a magistrate at this moment, and your county has suffered a disaster this year, and the grain harvest in the county is less than half of that of previous years, how should you deal with it as a local parent? ”

Hearing Yang Feng say this, the people in the hall were stunned, Yang Feng's question was very realistic. And some friends who are the same age as Feng Youlun or some talents and lifters can't help but start thinking about what they should do if they change themselves.

Feng Youlun didn't expect Yang Fengfeng to suddenly attack him, he hesitated for a while before saying: "If this is the case, the student should write to the imperial court to ask the imperial court to reduce taxes, and there are ...... In addition, he asked the imperial court to allocate relief food to help the people survive the famine. ”

"Hahaha......"

Yang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he laughed so loudly that Feng Youlun was a little red-faced, and even a little annoyed.

He said angrily: "Lord Yang, why are you laughing, could it be that there is something wrong with what the student said?" ”

"No...... You're quite right. Yang Feng stopped laughing and waved his hand: "It's just that if it's true as you say, in the event of a famine, you only know how to reach out to the imperial court to ask for tax reductions and exemptions, ask the imperial court to allocate disaster relief food, and do nothing else, this official is too easy to be, let alone a person who is a scholar, even if we are martial artists who can only dance knives and guns, we can also be a prefect of the county, so what's the point of waiting for ten years of hard work?" ”

"This ......"

Feng Youlun was a little dumbfounded, he looked around and found that some of his friends and young people also had puzzled expressions in their eyes. Yes, if the official is so good, why do you still read so many books, as long as you have studied in a private school for two years, you can be completely competent.

Zheng Toniang, who was sitting in a corner of the hall, looked at Yang Feng, who was standing in front of the map and talking, with a strange look in her eyes, and when she heard Yang Feng ridiculing Feng Youlun and other readers, a pair of big eyes bent into two rounds of full moon with a smile.

When Feng Youlun couldn't see the answer from his friend's face, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to his father again, but this time Feng Youlun found that his own Lao Tzu had a thoughtful look on his face.

In fact, when Yang Feng's question was raised, even the officials of Zhenjiang Mansion, such as Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou, were a little stunned, because the proposition thrown by Yang Feng was too big, let alone Feng Youlun, even if they asked themselves, they couldn't answer this question.

The people in the hall fell silent, and a crisp voice rang out.

"Lord Yang, if the government does not ask the imperial court for tax reduction and relief in the event of a famine, what should it do? As far as the slave family knows, the government has always done this! ”

Yang Feng turned his head and glanced in the direction where the voice came from and sighed lightly: "Zheng, everyone asked well, this is the problem." Our Ming officials have always been officials for the sake of being officials. Before becoming officials, everyone studied hard all day with a subset of scriptures, and they had no leisure until they were admitted to the Jinshi, but then they were sent to the local government by the imperial court, but they found that the books they read on weekdays did not help the local government at all. Those officials who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains do not know how to govern the local area after they take office, so that many officials are just like this by the small officials below, which is a major drawback of today's officialdom. ”

Hearing this, many people and officials showed emotion on their faces. After most of today's Ming officials took office, they found that the Four Books and Five Classics they had read before were actually not helpful at all for how to govern the locality. They also have to learn from scratch, not only how to collect taxes, how to persuade farmers and mulberries to deal with the officials below, but if they are not good, they will be overridden by the people below.

Up to now, Yang Feng has become the protagonist of the banquet, and unconsciously the rhythm of the banquet has been grasped by him.
