Mrs. Hu convened his henchmen overnight to discuss, and soon discussed the charter. The first thing is to ban radical books, which are not allowed to be sold in bookstores or read in schools.

Because all provinces have those books, especially Liaodong, Shandong, and Songjiang Prefecture, he is going to send documents to the past, and ask the political envoys to help clean them up. As for these bookstores in the capital, the Shuntian Mansion can issue an edict, and all books with great contradictory rhetoric are not allowed to be sold, and if anyone does not comply, the store will be closed at the least, and the law will be punished at the worst.

The government has always had a routine for doing this, almost every dynasty is the same, while explaining to the owners of each bookstore, reporting the title of the book for future reference, and ordering the arrest to wait everywhere to investigate and secretly visit, catch a few birds to scare and scare others, this is called grasping with both hands, both hands should be hard.

As soon as Yin of Shuntianfu gave an order, the people below flocked out, including the subordinate county seats. In fact, there are bookstores everywhere, and Hu Taishou alone cannot completely ban them, but a notice issued by the capital does not worry about causing a series of chain reactions in officialdom in various places.

The question is, do you know what books are banned and what books are not? It's just that the new books over the years are not allowed to sell.

Jinling bookstore is more than a lot in the world, more than half of them are concentrated around the Gongyuan, the Ming Dynasty does not make money by selling books alone, most of the bookstores in the Gongyuan rely on selling Shiwen poems, selling the examination questions of the imperial examination to make a fortune, and only once in three years, the poets are not cabbage, so most of the time the business is weak.

Many bookstores have to introduce a few new books, and there are a few books with sensational names, such as "ugly Ming Dynasty people", "Ming Dynasty is about to collapse", etc., and there are newspapers from various provinces that are sold to maintain their daily livelihood, which is not just a day.

There are also some people who specialize in selling new books to make a living, and the new books published in the store since the first year of Hong Xi can be described as full of colors, and they have everything they want. Every day, there is also a large-character propaganda written on the pink and white wall, indicating that the small shop has books specially used for the school.

How many international students can there be in Guozijian? At its peak, it was only one or two thousand. Xinxue is under the slogan of teaching without class. And it is indeed down-to-earth, not only can you learn a little bit of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also learn some useful knowledge, such as a few private schools even open carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers and other subjects, similar to the later generations of technical colleges, there will never be a shortage of flexible speculators in this world.

Even if you don't send your children to school, buy a few textbooks such as basic arithmetic and natural history, and study them at home, families in the Confucian civilization circle have always attached the most importance to education. So it attracts countless customers all year round, and gradually you buy it. I also went to buy it, and it became a trend, everyone has to have so many copies, otherwise there will be no face, and it is really to overwhelm the bookstore and the business is booming.

This year's trading is particularly good, according to the grapevine, after the death of the saint, the new emperor intends to increase the proportion of Xinxue in the imperial examination. The best of the new school may be able to become officials.

All of a sudden, all kinds of new books were selling like crazy, and the people in the cultural circle were happily closing their mouths, counting the money and cramping. Unexpectedly, a group of officials rushed in, and they couldn't help but drive away all the main customers who bought the book, searched everywhere on the shelves, and saw a book that was not pleasing to the eye. Take it and go.

It's not enough to take the book away, and the owner of the store or the bookkeeper grabs and drags it away. I didn't forget to take the account book.

Here in Xiaojia Village, the official messenger who came out of the capital took all the people from the bookstore to the yamen of Jiangning Mansion, and the prefect thought that this was made by Shuntianfu, and I couldn't make a mistake in this troubled water, so I didn't accept it, and ordered it to be handed over to Shangyuan County for care.

When he arrived in the county, the county magistrate couldn't help but accept it, so he immediately checked it, and ruled a total of fifteen bookstores, and a total of twenty or thirty people, and ordered him to be temporarily detained and reported to Shuntianfu immediately.

According to Hu Taishou's current meaning, since the matter has become a big problem, then simply punish it, and the Ministry of Rites also agreed.

However, a servant of the Ministry of Officials spoke, saying that it is true that some new books are misleading to people's children and should have been forbidden to sell them, but the court did not issue a notice in advance to inform the people, so how can the book sellers know? And after the instruction is given, a list of forbidden books will be given, and even those books such as obscene lyrics and songs will be strictly prohibited, and if they are not complied with, they should be re-handled according to the law, and the people will be convinced.

Hu Taishou was in a difficult position and argued: "Those books are all rebellious, what kind of equal rights for women, separation of powers, the end of the family with one surname, and so on, those people dare to sell these books with rebellious remarks, and these bookstores should be reopened." ”

When the squire heard that he had to do it, he couldn't help but get angry, aren't you just relying on the prince? It has only lasted less than twenty years that my dynasty has not been convicted for words, and you are going to make a lot of noise than the Hongwu Dynasty? Will the reader be able to criticize current politics in the future? Therefore, he said indignantly: "Taishou must do it, so please do it, but the official does not think so, and will definitely write against it." ”

Although Hu Taishou is the prince's celebrity, the waiter is his boss, and what he says is not easy to listen to, feeling that the waiter is angry, he has to soften, and orders the Shangyuan counties to order those bookstore owners to never sell reverse books, and the violators will be re-applied and allowed to go back on bail.

All the books that were searched out were placed under the lobby of Shuntianfu, waiting for Hu Taishou to personally see them, and then they were burned and all destroyed.

After Xu Hao learned about this, he secretly said that he should have finally come, but he didn't expect that the suppression of progressive ideas would start with Shuntianfu Yin, and what kind of book burning would be done, and he couldn't be sure when he would have to 'pit Confucianism'.

Xu Hao ignored this, this is a normal law of nature, just like it is impossible for any dynasty to completely suppress people's thoughts, and he does not intend to take the lead in the struggle, of course, he did not forget to record Hu Taishou's name in the little black book, and from now on you will be our political enemy.

Seven days later, Shuntianfu really burned a bunch of books with forbidden thoughts, and placed a list of all Xiaoyu's students. According to these forbidden books, if they are bought by mistake, they are allowed to turn themselves in, and the books are taken and destroyed, so that they are not at fault; If they do not turn themselves in, once they are found out in the future, they will not only be expelled from the court, but they will also be severely punished.

There are about four or five hundred books on that list, and there are almost all kinds of books, such as radical thoughts, innovative ideas, equal rights thoughts, Lao Tzu's ideas of ruling by inaction, the restoration of the Nine Grades of Zhongzheng Gate Valve, and so on, Taoism, Buddhism, green religion, Christianity, absurd and obscene novels.

Who doesn't have a few such books? Under the pressure of the Shuntianfu, coupled with the intimidation of the superintendent and the teacher, they had to hand over the books and destroy them, even if they were unwilling, the superintendent had to clear themselves and went to the students' homes to move out and destroy them for them, and the parents were all very cooperative, who dared to violate the royal law and be kicked in the head by a donkey?

Other provinces are still unknown, in short, Jinling's vigorous ban on books has come to an end for the time being. However, Hu Taishou failed to bring to justice the bookstores and bookstores, so that the printers and authors of the books went unpunished, and he regretted it very much, which was undoubtedly a major flaw in this case, and he was worried about it.

Of course, this matter was appreciated by the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, and also won universal praise from both inside and outside the government and the opposition. Fortunately, Xinxue has not touched the interests of the feudal class, on the contrary, it has been more safeguarded, the national strength is thriving, and talents are emerging in an endless stream.

The enlightened and tolerant atmosphere since the Hong Xi Dynasty, as long as it does not involve rebellion, will not really be killed, after all, there are lessons from Jinyiwei's past. At the moment, few people realize what these new things mean, and the Ming people, who defeated the Mongols, have more self-confidence and an inclusive mind than ever before.

Hu Taishou is more out of his own face, how can he not do everything perfectly? It hurts my self-esteem too much to stop because of a mere squire's words.

It just so happened that one of his surnames in the same year was Huang, who was also born in the two lists, and had always been a staff member of the East Palace, and had just been promoted by the prince to be a squire of the Criminal Department. Hu Taishou invited the other party to come over to the banquet, and asked him to help at the banquet, so he had to run a few bookstores to save face.

Huang Shilang's official position was recommended by Hu Taishou for him in front of the prince, and now that he is entrusted with doing things in the same year, how can he not contribute? And he himself can take advantage of this to show his face.

After going back, Huang Shilang immediately sent people to major bookstores to search for banned books, even if there was a backer behind him, he didn't dare to compete with the Shuntianfu Criminal Department, and it was still a crime of disobedience that no one could afford, so he was so scared that he didn't even dare to sell any new books.

Even if some bookstores still sell them, they don't dare to take out the books that are slightly eye-catching, for fear of being reported, and they have the momentum of the Manchu Dynasty's great literary prison.

Hu Taishou was very happy, and finally the people knew how to respect the authority of Shuntianfu.

To say that in the past few years, the atmosphere of running a school is in the ascendant, and there are good and bad things here, from primary school to university, there are those who graduated in six years, and there are those who graduated in three years, some who are serious about running schools, and some who are trying to cheat money, all kinds of majors, even politics, law, and finance have come out, and it is unknown what is the relationship between this and Xu Hao.

Most schools claim that if they complete their studies, they will definitely be reused by the imperial court in the future and become useful people. The inland provinces like to send students to the coastal provinces to study, and the traditional exchange of official scholars, the government sends students to be called official students, and those who spend their own money can be called self-financed students.

When the government went out, the local government sent officials to lead it, and everything was taken care of. At their own expense, only a few people from the same village took care of each other and formed a small group.

In the past two years, there have been quite a few people who have gone on study tours in eastern Liaoning, but there are too many of them, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and there is no distinction between the virtuous and the foolish, and some of them do not like to study, taking the opportunity of study tours to go to other places to play, and some of them have coaxed their parents in the name of studying tours, hoping to take the family's money out for him to squander it wantonly.

When, such people are inevitable, so many unreasonable young people, see the same, to Liaodong to see those slogans, peace of mind to spend their parents' hard-earned money, open and close the mouth I want to be the pioneer of the motherland, we are the masters of China, I am a new talent, the pillar of the society, in fact, I have not learned anything, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling is proficient in everything.

How could Zhu Qiaoqiao not welcome these guys who spent a lot of money? Who cares if you become a talent or not, just leave the money in Liaodong, and you will definitely be issued a graduation certificate in a few years, Xu Hao sighs every time he looks up to the sky, in vain?
