Hu Cunyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said to Hu Chun: "In that case, while Dongchang is still just a father, you should leave China as soon as possible and find a vassal country to stay in! Never come back! Unless, the world spreads Only when the emperor collapses can he come back."
"Father! I..."
Hu Chun was quite shocked.
But before he finished speaking, Hu Cunyi interrupted him and waved his hand: "No need to say more, unless you are like Gu Ningren and others, who only know that the world is for the public, but do not know how to treat everyone in the world!"
Next.
Hu Cunyi was taken to the Anti-Corruption Department of Dongchang by people from Dongchang.
In today's Ming Dynasty.
Scholar-officials would have to face two choices.
Either choose the concept of governing the country and bringing peace to the world and practice it.
Just like Gu Yanwu, he has the ideal of "the poor will become richer, and the rich will not be poor".
Or choose to maximize your fame and wealth.
Just like Hu Cunyi, he actually wanted to get involved in the government-owned industry and change its color.
In history, the scholars during this period also faced two choices because of the chaos in the world and the Manchu Qing taking over the Central Plains.
Either choose to follow the moral principles in your heart, refuse to cooperate with the Manchus, or even die for the Ming Dynasty out of despair for the world.
Either for the sake of wealth, or unwilling to give up the wealthy life, and become an official in the Qing Dynasty.
Although they are all scholar-bureaucrats, they have different choices. Naturally, this is because people have different needs.
All this is because the imperial examination is the only way for scholars in this era, whether it is to achieve fame and wealth or to realize their ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the world.
But now, there are too many scholars, so to get the first place in the imperial examination is to have thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.
And some people, naturally, go to any lengths in order to get the best rank. Just like a capitalist would sell the rope that strangles him because of the pursuit of profits, many scholars competed with each other in the imperial examinations for fame and wealth. To form a family, he did not hesitate to violate the law and commit serious crimes, but also bribed the examiners and bought connections.
For example, in the sixth year of Chongzhen in history, Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe Society, held a banquet in Suzhou for Wen Zhenmeng and Xiang Yu, and openly asked them to help Yang Weishu and Wu Zhongluan be elected to the Huiyuan Council during the examination.
In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Wu Weiye and Xia Yuehu secretly negotiated and manipulated secretly, and finally allowed Sun Yijing to win the title of Huiyuan.
Wu Weiye himself was able to become a senior in high school because Zhou Yanru and Li Mingrui had a good personal relationship with his father.
Therefore, the scholar-bureaucrats who really only had the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but were not obsessed with fame and wealth, could not succeed more or less because they were unwilling to adopt too inferior means.
Therefore, among the middle-ranking Jinshi, there are fewer and fewer scholars who truly want to govern the country and bring peace to the world.
Fortunately, in today's Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, the number of places for the national examination and the provincial examination has been greatly expanded, which has resulted in many scholars who are more willing to choose to govern the country and bring peace to the world as their lifelong belief.
Especially powerful figures like Gu Yanwu who left their names in later generations were directly noticed by Zhu Youxiao during this era, and were able to quickly become officials and work for the Ming Dynasty.
In history, people like Gu Yanwu always failed in the imperial examinations because of their pure minds. Therefore, they kept preparing for the imperial examinations and wasted years until they failed to pass the exams many times and saw clearly the filthiness of officialdom and worldly affairs. , only then did he wake up and stop clinging to the imperial examinations. He felt that he could help the world and save the people without being an official, so he wrote books and eventually became a great man. In later generations, his reputation surpassed those of his contemporaries who had achieved fame and wealth. A person from Taige Gongqing.
As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao also chose the concept of "the poor getting richer and the rich not poor", rather than just letting the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
This also led to the imperial court actively intervening in the free development of the market economy in the Ming Central Empire.
Therefore, people who only pursue fame and wealth will not be happy in the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the imperial court asked them, who only pursue fame and wealth, not to pursue profit arbitrarily, but it also did not allow them to live a luxurious life.
The imperial court indeed wants the poor to become richer, but the already rich cannot return to poverty.
Because the imperial court wants everyone in the world to be rich.
Therefore, the court is now forcing these wealthy people to stop spending money like water by prohibiting land rent increases and land transactions.
The great-grandson of Xu Jie, Xu Niancun lived a luxurious life and often loved fighting for wealth and extravagance.
But Xu Nian Cun was not fond of reading since birth, and in his current generation, the Xu family was no longer particularly powerful.
Therefore, if Xu Niancun wanted to maintain his luxurious life, he could only sell off his land or increase the land rent.
His ancestors annexed and left a lot of land. Even after clearing the land several times, his Xu family still has a lot of land.
Xu Niancun was able to maintain his luxurious and wealthy life by selling off his land and increasing land rent.
But now, the court does not allow the transaction of land, nor does it allow land rent to be increased, and even sets a reference price for land rent, making it impossible for Xu Niancun to maintain his luxurious life through these two events.
This made Xu Niancun very depressed.
"Damn it, this court is really in charge of everything and people's shit and farts now. I'm not allowed to sell my family's own land. I want to ruin my family. What does it have to do with your court!"
Xu Niancun even cursed at Bei because of this.
But Xu Niancun did not dare to really disobey the imperial decree and sell his property privately. He could only mortgage his family's property and real estate to the Ming Dynasty Bank on the grounds that his family was in a difficult situation and he wanted to start a business, and then got a large loan.
However, after Xu Niancheng borrowed this large amount of money, he did not actually start a business, but still used it to gamble and drink to maintain his luxurious life.
Therefore, it didn't take long for him to spend all his money again, so that he still owed the court a large sum of money.
The people in Dongchang had no choice but to confiscate the Xu family's home and confiscate their property and registration.
However, the Xu family's property can only be regarded as principal. Xu Niancun has defaulted on the contract for a long time. Therefore, Xu Niancun still needs to pay back a lot of interest to the court.
Therefore, Dongchang reported the matter to Zhu Youxiao.
When Zhu Youxiao found out, he said: "In the future, dishonest people like Xu Niancun, if they cannot repay all the money they owe, will be taken to work in government-run mining areas in various places, and their rewards will be used to repay the debt until it is repaid." .”
Therefore, Xu Niancun was arranged to go to Australia to mine iron ore.
After the Ming Dynasty discovered Australia, it had mobilized its forces to exploit iron ore frantically here. After all, the iron ore in Australia was indeed of high quality and easy to mine and smelt.
"I'm not going! I'm not going!"
After Xu Nianxun learned that he was going to Australia for mining, he collapsed and started struggling desperately.
"This is not something you can do whatever you want, take him away!"
After the people from Dongchang told him, Xu Niancun was dragged into the car.
Xu Niancun felt even more aggrieved for a moment, and couldn't help but cry: "What's this? I've ruined my own family, and ended up owed money to the court, and ended up having to repay the debt to the court!"
When Xu Niancun arrived at the Australian workers' dormitory, he couldn't help but become even more desperate: "Is this a place for people to live?!"
As he said that, Xu Niancun shouted: "I want to go home! I want to go home! Let me go back!"
The supervisor of the place took over Xu Niancun from the people in the East Factory and took Xu Niancun to the canteen first, saying, "Let him eat first."
Then, Xu Niancun saw that the food in the canteen was either potato chunks, potato slices, or potato shreds. Almost all of them were potatoes, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I won't eat it, I won't eat it. How can I eat something that pigs and dogs don't eat?" ?!”
