Although the mining profits brought by subscription coupons are not really large, fortunately, they are legitimate income and not gray, so they can be used to improve the quality of life with more confidence, and even be passed down as an asset to future generations.
Therefore, Shi Xing was really worried that all the mining profits would be nationalized, so he changed his attitude and became angry when Zhao Nanxing was about to expose himself.
While Shi Xing beat Zhao Nanxing violently, he also encouraged other civil servants, saying: "If we are loyal ministers, let's do it together!"
A few civil servants who also bought subscription tickets were eager to give it a try and clenched their fists.
"Shi Gongchen!"
"A truly loyal minister should know how to abide by the rules."
"No matter how bad Zhao Bulang is, he is also an official of the imperial court now! No matter what, it is not your turn to deal with it! You are showing contempt for the king's law!"
Shen Shixing shouted and said: "Stop!"
Shi Xing stopped, and said with a stern face: "Everyone is responsible for what he does, and the court wants to punish him. I am willing to be punished, but I still have one thing to say. I have no sworn relationship with the treacherous ministers and traitors who have no regard for my father." !”
Zhao Nanxing's face was covered with blood at this time, and his skin was broken in several places. He sat on the ground feeling aggrieved for a while, looked at Shi Xing, cried and asked:
"Are you still a civil servant?!"
"Is it Wenchen?!"
"ah!"
After Zhao Nanxing asked, he continued to scold Shi Xing.
Then, Zhao Nanxing sobbed again: "You are so ungrateful and behave like a rude martial artist."
"He should be beaten to death if he alienates the civil and military forces!"
At this time, Wang Zhiyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Finance, did not think it was a big deal and shouted.
"That's right!"
Immediately afterwards, Ni Guangjian, the general envoy, also responded.
Zhao Nanxing turned pale with fright when he saw this.
Snapped!
Suddenly, Shen Shixing slapped the table hard and asked: "Who are you beating to death?! Is Wenhua Hall a place for beating and killing people?! How do you behave like this!"
After Shen Shixing asked, he quickly asked the people from the two cabinets to help Zhao Nanxing up.
Wang Zhiyuan and Ni Guangjian then stopped, and Shi Xing didn't have another attack.
Shen Shixing also looked at Zhao Nanxing: "Although it is indeed wrong for him, Shi Gongchen, to hit someone, his words are correct. Why does the Duke sympathize with the Zhou family and his son? I still need to explain it, so as to avoid misunderstandings by the officials and impeach the minister. "
"I'm not sympathetic, I just think the torture is too much."
Zhao Nanxing replied.
In order to strengthen his character of complaining for the emperor, Shi Xing raised his fist again: "Is this too much?"
Zhao Nanxing hurriedly waved his hand: "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Shen Shixing glanced at Shi Xing, and then said to Zhao Nanxing, "Keep talking."
"I did not consider it carefully and made a mistake in what I said. They are right! Your Majesty is very merciful by blaming his clan for not having them bully you."
After Zhao Nanxing said that, he looked at Shi Xing and others carefully.
For him, the current court is really terrible.
There are really many shameless villains.
To be fair, it's easy to get beaten up.
"That's fine!"
Shen Shixing didn't bother anymore, looked at the civil servants present, and continued:
"Let's get back to business. As my servant just said, do we ministers want to ask the emperor to use internal funds to show our virtue of thrift?"
"If we really want to do this, then we will not only advise the emperor to be frugal, but everyone should also be frugal. First of all, the atmosphere of scholars must be correct!"
"So, even if you use legitimate income such as salary, silver medals, and bonuses to build a mansion and raise a daughter, you shouldn't have to do it anymore, and it should be considered extravagant!"
"Once discovered, when you pass the exam, you should also be listed as having bad morals and bad morals. Tingtui, Huitui, Nianli, and Xingtui must all be promoted if you can, and don't use it if you can!"
"In addition, when an official impeaches someone for this, they must be dealt with strictly!"
"After all, we can't just ask our father to be frugal while not being frugal ourselves. Wouldn't this mean that the world's society will be ruined because of us scholars?"
"Then are we still worthy of being scholars?!"
After Shen Shixing said that, he asked the civil servants.
“This is not difficult, it can still be done.”
"Scholars should follow the teachings of saints and take the world as their own responsibility!"
Hai Rui said something at this time, and added: "Therefore, when a scholar becomes an official, he should serve the common people in the world, not a beautiful lady in a beautiful house. A gentleman should also uphold frugality and restrain luxury."
"I have always practiced the teachings of the saints, and I believe all gentlemen do the same."
"Except for those given by the emperor, I now wear common clothes and kerchiefs, and eat simple food and food. However, I can still live to the seventies and give birth to children in my old age. Although I have concubines, they are only for the sake of my children, and I don't spend a lot of money to support them. , but there was no disharmony in the backyard.”
"It can be seen that if you really want the world to be one for the common good, you can do it, and you can also live longer."
Hai Rui said.
After Hai Rui said this, all the courtiers present were speechless.
"Bad luck! I've never found Haigangfeng to be so annoying!"
"This Hai Rui is also an arrogant man! He means that His Majesty should suffer like him without any sense of decency!"
“It’s so shameless, you have gone to such an extent to seek fame and reputation!”
…
However, secretly, some civil servants could not help but underestimate him, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with Hai Rui.
But the civil servants were dissatisfied, but they didn't know how to refute it. After all, the saint's principles cannot be directly denied.
Shi Xing was eloquent after all, so he spoke first and said with a smile:
"Of course we can do it. I believe all gentlemen in the world can do it. It's okay to have a simple meal and make our family and friends suffer some hardships and suffer some grievances."
"But we can't let Mr. Jun be wronged!"
Shi Xing shouted excitedly as he spoke.
Wang Zhiyuan also followed and said: "Yes, how can you let your father be wronged because of this! Your father uses his internal funds to treat relatives and friends favorably and keeps his inner garden harmonious, which is beneficial to the health of the dragon and the peace of the country!"
Yu Shenxing also echoed at this time: "All the subjects in the world are your Majesty's subjects. The whole world is like a big family. Your Majesty is the parents-in-law, we ministers are the wives, and the people below are the sons and daughters."
"We can wrong our children, but we can't wrong our parents-in-law!"
"Therefore, in difficult times, even if you suffer the people, you cannot suffer your Majesty; of course, in order to show love and benevolence, you should not wrong your children when you can. It is best not to wrong anyone!"
"If you really want to be wronged, then you should wrong yourself first, followed by your children, but in any case, you cannot wrong your parents-in-law, otherwise it will go against the principles of integrity."
"The internal money is your Majesty's monthly money. You can spend it however you want. To care about your Majesty's internal money at this time is to make your Majesty suffer. It is indeed unbecoming of a minister!"
"Yes, as a minister, you should try your best to add more internal funds to your father to show your loyalty and filial piety. How can you still take care of the internal funds?"
“Actually, it’s not just the king and father, the gentlemen and virtuous ministers who work for the country should also be able to work for the country without being wronged. They should use their legitimate income to build a garden as a place to return to in the future, and to raise some theater troupes for entertainment purposes, so as to recuperate and recuperate. , and to serve the country better in the future, it is not considered unfrugal. In fact, there is no need to be too strict in passing the exam, and one should not be too harsh on the use of just income, rather than giving preferential treatment to the wise and the gentleman."
It is clear.
Not many civil servants supported Hai Rui's idea of advocating absolute public ownership and officials willing to become servants of the world together with the emperor.
Shen Shixing also glanced at Hai Rui.
Hai Rui sighed and said nothing more.
