Chapter 611 I Let You Do What You Do

Thank you Liuyun Buchang for the 20,000 Piaohong!

...

After seeing off the disappointed Xu Jingchang, Fang Xing went to the academy to have a look.

As the actual person in charge of the academy, Xie Jin didn't have many things to do at ordinary times and was very free, so when he saw Fang waking up, he said depressedly: "Dehua, why don't you arrange more class hours for the old man?"

Fang Xing shook his head, and said sincerely: "You are highly respected, if I'm not here, I have to rely on you to support the academy, I dare not tire you!"

"You, you! You really don't even let the old man take advantage of any loopholes."

Xie Jin shook his head and sighed. He just wanted to add a little more class time to Confucianism, but Fang Xing was the first to seal the hole.

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, I'm afraid those students will learn too much Confucianism and become little masters, then I can find a rope to hang the beams of the house."

"Knowing how to advance and retreat, is it not good to be sensible?"

Xie Jin was still a little unwilling to give up. He felt that he could have more class hours, and then train these students to be modest and gentlemen, as gentle as jade.

"It's not that it's bad, what should I say?"

Fang Xing rubbed the armrest of the rattan chair, "Da Ming does not lack this kind of superficial gentleman. Morality can be restrained by rules, and rules of conduct can be instilled from childhood, but I don't want these students to lose their initiative and aggressiveness. It will be a disaster for Fang Xue."

"Confucianism just wants to turn people into a mold." Fang Xing looked at Xie Jin with piercing eyes and said, "Lao Tzu said to keep the middle, Confucianism said to be mean, they are all things for cultivating the mind, but these are not what I think need."

"Look at the students of Guozijian, how many years have they been influenced by Confucianism? But those who should go to the Qinhuai River still have to go, those who should eat honey and swords still look like gentlemen, and those who should be ungrateful for profit are still impassioned, so let's say, I think Confucianism is teaching people how to pretend to be an upright gentleman, thinking too much about human nature."

"A child's character building is actually mostly shaped at home, and the rest is his own polishing outside. In school, with all due respect, it is better to teach skills. As for morality, it is cultivated by personal practice, isn't it? taught."

Thinking of all the strange scenes in those schools in the future, Fang Xing felt that it was unreliable to blindly rely on schools for morality.

"Using rules to constrain, and then slowly becoming a code of conduct recognized by the whole people, this is the morality in my heart."

Xie Jin sighed: "What you said is good, but it is difficult to realize it. Castles in the sky!"

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know if you don't do it?"

"You are a Legalist!"

Xie Jin was a little surprised by Fang Xing's pessimism about morality.

"Not really, I just think..."

"What is it?"

Fang Xing saw Xiaodao standing outside the door, so he asked.

"My lord, Your Majesty invites you into the palace."

Why did Lao Zhu ask me to go?

"Dehua hurry up, don't delay."

Xie Jin had suffered big losses before, and after accumulating a lot, he was finally kicked into prison by Zhu Di.

After Fang woke up in the palace, he realized that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Zhu Di was losing his temper, and there were more broken things on the ground.

"Zhu Yong is incompetent! It doesn't matter if he is incompetent, but he is being manipulated by those salt merchants. Who will go to Yangzhou Mansion?"

Zhu Di's eyes swept over Fang Xing's body, but Fang Xing stood there expressionless, and didn't intend to invite Ying.

Zhu Di snorted coldly and looked at the other Wu Xun.

The current situation in Yangzhou Mansion is a bit weird. Zhu Yong sits there, but the salt merchants use some means to make him enjoy the tenderness all day long.

According to Zhu Di's character, he should directly send troops to take people. But not currently.

The salt merchants talked about cooperating with the reform of the salt administration, but secretly reduced the supply, and the market immediately responded by raising prices!

It would not be impossible to suppress it firmly, but after losing the salt merchants, the government will not be able to take over this huge market for a while.

If the salt is cut off by then, hehe! Zhu Di could imagine what kind of chaos the entire Daming would turn into.

But Wu Xun's methods of handling things are tough, but they lack flexibility and tend to mess things up.

Needless to say, civilian officials, without the guarantee of force, it is just a waste of effort.

These people are challenging me!

A gleam flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he nodded personally: "Fang Xing, you have been to Yangzhou Mansion twice, you go, take Jubaoshanwei with you."

Fang Xing sighed in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, what can I do?"

As soon as this question came up, Zhang Fu secretly admired it, but Hu Guang and other civil officials frowned.

At this time, Yangzhou Mansion must be full of celebrations. After they found that Zhu Yong had left in disgrace, there came a so-called "magnanimous" Xing He Bo...

No one knows exactly how those salt merchants will react, but they will definitely not give Fang Xing a good fruit to eat.

Zhu Di's eyes are full of murderous intent. What he hates the most in this life is being threatened by others, and those salt merchants are actually telling him through Zhu Yong: Your Majesty, you have to give us a way out...

"As long as there is no shortage of salt in the market, I will let you do what you want!"

I'm going to die!

And many people will die!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xing took the order, and then Zhu Di urged: "You hurry back and organize the army, and leave tomorrow."

After Fang woke up and left, Zhu Di sneered and said, "Xinghe Bocai will be assassinated, and the two servants in the palace will be killed. Today, I am waiting for someone to inform those salt merchants."

His cold and stern eyes swept across the ministers, and everything he passed was downcast.

This is Zhu Di!

What kind of bullshit is the harmony between the monarch and his subjects, a king without deterrence will only be despised by his subjects!

There is harmony in the barrel of a gun!

As soon as Fang Xing left the palace, he asked Xin Laoqi to inform Lin Qun'an, but he went to Taisun's mansion himself.

Yu Jia still had an amiable smile, and while welcoming Fang Xing in, he smiled and said, "Uncle has not been here for a long time, our family misses him very much."

Fang Xing said lightly: "Why do you miss me?"

Yu Jia was still smiling: "Uncle is knowledgeable about heaven and man, and those of us who have been sentenced to death also admire us very much. We all want to learn something from you."

Fang Xing laughed and ignored him all the way to the study.

After arriving at the study, Yu Jia went to report, Fang Xing stood outside, and saw a woman coming out of it not long after.

"I met Xing Hebo."

The last time Fang woke up and saw this woman was the night of the Lantern Festival.

Fang Xing turned sideways to avoid it, and said flatly, "Don't dare."

After entering, Fang Xing saw that Zhu Zhanji's face was flushed, and said in a deep voice, "What happened to Zhu Yong?"

Not knowing how Zhu Yong fell, Fang Xing really felt a little uncertain.

Zhu Zhanji signaled Yu Jia to go out, and then said: "Cheng Guogong took in a few women, and then took some property, and indulged in women's sex all day long. After the current salt merchants have joined hands to reduce the supply of salt, it's already gone." late."

"He didn't do it?"

Fang Xing felt that Zhu Yong should kill a few salt merchants to scare him off.

Zhu Zhanji sneered and said: "Kill him, but the Yangzhou government has also spread the news that he accepted women and property. He is in such a mess, how can he still take on the big responsibility!"

"Fortunately, he is Wu Xun!" Fang Xing didn't know whether to feel sorry for Zhu Yong, or feel lucky for him.

If such a scandal broke out among civil officials, Zhu Di's first reaction would probably be to ransack his home, behead his head, and exile his family.

"Brother Dehua, you must be careful on this trip, those salt merchants are going crazy."
