The next day, all the officials arrived at Shangjun's courtyard one after another. →?八→.?八**Read??Books,.↓.o≥
This time, they were not deceived or forced by Li Shui, but completely voluntarily.
After all, what Li Shui said makes sense. Only by understanding the people's thoughts can we be able to govern with ease, and then gain His Majesty's favor and be promoted to a higher position.
Of course, important officials in the court such as Wang Wan, Li Si, Chun Yuyue and others did not come.
First of all, these people respect their status and come to Shangjun Courtyard to learn how to be an official. Not only is it a bit embarrassing, but it is also easy to make their subordinates uneasy.
In addition, these people can be important ministers in the court, so they naturally have their own way of being an official, and there is no need to go to Shangjun Courtyard to learn.
Therefore, most of the people who came to Shangjun's courtyard on this day were middle-level courtiers. There are many lonely ghosts above the court. Such people are the most insecure and the most eager for promotion.
When these people arrived at the gate of Shangjun's courtyard, as usual, they were yawning and collecting money.
The courtiers were already accustomed to Li Shui's style, so they were not surprised and directly handed over one hundred thousand yuan, or jewelry of equivalent value.
After entering, a child with a snotty nose led them to a large courtyard.
But when they were at the door, the children received another 10,000 yuan each, saying it was tuition fees.
With the previous 100,000 yuan ticket as a comparison, the courtiers suddenly felt that this price was quite fair. So they paid the money one after another.
After entering, the courtiers found that there was nothing in the courtyard, not even a straw mat in sight. The courtiers had to stand there with depressed faces.
You spent 110,000 yuan to learn how to be an official in a place like this?
Previously, courtiers had fantasized about drinking fairy wine, eating iron pot stir-fry, listening to Gao Jianli's music, and drunkenly learning something.
The lecturer hadn't arrived yet, so the courtiers had to stand there bored.
It didn't take long for them to whisper to each other. Many people said with emotion: "How simple was it to be an official in the past? It was nothing more than farming and war. If the soldiers could collect enough food and win the war, then they would be a good official. In addition, it was just a matter of court. A battle in the hall. As for Qian Shou, who takes them seriously?"
Someone echoed: "Yes. In the past, those in Guizhou were just farming in the fields, providing food for the court, or joining the army, marching and fighting. Or doing labor, building palaces and cities. These people kept their own rules and were quite good. Use. But since the banished immortal arrived, everything has changed."
Someone nearby said with deep emotion: "Yes, these Guizhou leaders are getting bolder and bolder. They read books and gather in Xianyang City to cry at every turn. Sooner or later, they will gather in Xianyang City to cry. One day, they were playing with fire and provoked His Majesty to kill them."
Another man stroked his beard and said: "No. From what I see, your Majesty has killed enemy soldiers, criminal courtiers, and scheming alchemists, but he has never killed the head of Guizhou. As long as they don't go too far. , if there is no act of rebellion, His Majesty will probably not punish him severely."
The surrounding courtiers nodded slightly.
The man added: "In fact, the words of banishing the immortals are very reasonable. Now the world is unified and the four seas are unified. From conquering the world at once to ruling the world at once, the methods of the past cannot be copied."
"Why do I, the Qin Dynasty, dominate the world? Is it just for the rich and powerful to enjoy glory and wealth? Obviously not so, but for the people of the world to share peace, and the people of the world naturally include Guizhou."
"They are human beings just like you and me. We can no longer treat them as animals that only know how to farm and fight, as we did in the past."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone nodded.
One person laughed and said: "Your Excellency's words are clear in logic and elegant in wording. They are much better than yesterday's lofty speech about banishing immortals."
The man chuckled and said: "The elegant words are just to pick up people's wisdom. Although the words of the banished immortal are rude, they are every word precise and admirable."
The courtiers chatted for a while, and then a bell rang outside. Then, the child with a snotty nose said: "Class is about to begin, please stand up."
The courtiers were a little speechless: Are you just standing like this?
Soon, the far door opened, and an old man walked in with his hands behind his back.
Everyone knows this old man, he is Cang Fu, the housekeeper of Shangjun Villa.
Cano smiled slightly and said to the courtiers: "My lords, today I will tell you what the poor like most and what they fear most."
Cang Fu smiled honestly: "What I like the most is of course getting married. I heard that the adults in Xianyang City pay attention to the love between the two when getting married, and they also have some preferences for women, those with fair skin and good looks. In our case For poor people, it’s much easier, as long as it’s a woman.”
"Because we poor people don't want to be happy with each other, but to continue the family line. If we don't have children, we will starve to death in bed when we get old or sick. If we don't have children, we will be bullied by our neighbors. If we don't have children, we will die in the future. , there is no one to pay homage to him, so he can only be a lonely ghost. It is really miserable to starve while alive and continue to starve after death."
The courtiers were all speechless after hearing this. People's hearts are made of flesh, and what Cano said was sincere and sincere, so it was impossible for them not to be touched at all.
Soon, Cano smiled honestly again: "Actually, we poor people really can't tell who is beautiful and who is not? It's just that the family is poor and it is not easy to find a woman, so we don't distinguish anymore. If there is If you have the ability, I still hope to choose.”
"This year, all the villagers in our small village have made a fortune thanks to the help of the banished immortal. The girls we have now married are all very beautiful."
Many courtiers nodded with emotion.
Cano went on to say: "What we poor people like most is getting married, and what we fear most is doing corvee service..."
For a whole day, Aofu talked about everything from marriage to corvée. From war to farming. What he said was unstructured and his language was not elegant, but it was very true.
Those courtiers seemed to have opened a door during this day and saw another world.
What Cano said recently was just a general picture of the conditions of the poor. Next, there will be dedicated poor people who will talk about their lives in detail.
When the red sun turned to the west, the courtiers took their leave one after another. They were all thoughtful as they walked on the road. It was obvious that what they saw and heard today had a great impact on them.
When they passed by the gate of Shangjun Courtyard, they saw Li Shui. Li Shui was counting money with the calf.
Many courtiers stopped consciously, saluted Li Shui, and said sincerely: "In the past, we always thought that those who banished immortals for their misdeeds were the devils of the world. Only recently did they know that banishing immortals is the real righteousness and benevolence. people."
Li Shui glanced at them and said calmly: "You've only been here for a day and you feel sad? It shows how closed-minded you are usually. Let me tell you, understanding the poor is only the first step. The most important thing is how to let the poor live. Live a good life. If after understanding it, you remain indifferent and just add some themes when you recite poems and compose poems, that would be shameless."
The courtiers nodded.
Li Shui waved his hand: "Let's go."
The courtiers left.
Li Shui looked at the backs of the group of people and muttered: "There are so many people here, more than I expected. I only charge a tuition fee of 10,000 yuan, am I too cheap for them?"
Niu Dao said coquettishly next to him: "Sir, there is a way for the villain. When they come tomorrow, let's say that ten thousand dollars is just one day's tuition. We will charge them again. The other thing is, let them stay. Have lunch here. The food cost can be a little higher."
Li Shui said seriously: "It's so shameless to charge 10,000 yuan a day and also charge for food."
Niu Calf laughed dryly: "Yes, the villain is a little shameless."
Li Shui said: "Let's do this, charge them 10,000 yuan a day. As for food expenses, we allow them to bring their own dry food. If they want to eat our meals, they will be charged according to the standards of the Banished Immortal Tower."
The calf happily agreed.
Li Shui looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said with a touch of sadness: "With my net worth, do I still need to make money? I don't love money at all. I am just seeking benefits for the poor. To help the world, we need to There is really a lot of money.”
…………
In Wu Yue Mansion, their group got together again.
Everyone looked confused and asked the people next to them: "What should I do?"
Wu Yue sat in his seat. After a long time, he said quietly: "I heard that the banished immortal is doing some xueban to teach the way of being an official. How about we go and learn? This is a disguised form of giving a generous gift to the banished immortal. "
The others laughed bitterly and said, "Is it useful?"
Wu Yue was silent. He also felt that it was useless. This time, the banished immortal was offended to death. The banished immortal did not cause trouble for everyone. Did he not want to pursue the case? Or was he thinking of some weird punishment?
No matter how he thought about it, Wu Yue felt that it was the latter.
Finally, one of the courtiers said: "Why don't we accept the punishment ourselves? We should bear the blame and ask for forgiveness from the banished immortal."
Wu Yue frowned: "Is it useful?"
The courtier's method was not approved by Wu Yue, but it finally inspired others.
The courtiers discussed one after another and said, "Why don't we take the initiative to seek punishment from His Majesty and go to the Western Regions to open up frontiers? We are only impeaching and banishing immortals. It is not a mortal sin. I believe His Majesty will agree."
Wu Yue's heart trembled: "Isn't that why he was exiled?"
The courtier said: "No, it is said that there are many mineral deposits in the north. As long as we find one, we will have made a great contribution. By then, we can come back openly."
Wu Yue hesitated for a long time, then nodded slowly: "That's all, let's do it. Tonight, I will write a memorial."
At the same time, Wu Jiao was in the Shangjun Courtyard and curiously asked Li Shui: "Sir, why don't you punish Wu Yue's group?"
Li Shui chuckled: "Wu Yue's group is too weak in combat. It's shameful for me to suppress them. They made the wrong mistake and abandoned me at the critical moment. I don't need to retaliate, I just need to ignore them." That’s good. After all, in my current position, I have to be somewhat self-restrained, and I have to pretend to be more generous."
Wu Jiao said with emotion: "People like Wu Yue are so lucky. After provoking adults, they can escape unscathed without being punished. This is the first time." 11 Baidu search "I was in the Qin Dynasty Read the latest chapters of "Shengunjiezhong Literature" for free as soon as possible.
