Iron Dynasty

Chapter 476 New System

Outside Qingzhou City, Taihe Village.

Hundreds of villagers discussed after the reporters finished reading the newspaper.

"These scumbags are really hateful. Our life has only been stable for a few years, and they are just tossing about it."

"That's right, if it weren't for His Highness's decree, how would we have had a better life, we mustn't let these scumbags confuse the public to make His Highness believe their words."

"Yes, drive these people out of Fengguo and let them go to other places to harm them. Xie Ziyun's home is in our village. Let's go and ask his parents how they raised such an ungrateful person. Things, if His Highness hadn't returned the land of the noble family to their old Xie family, where did Xie Ziyun get the money to study, let's go!"

"..."

The villagers, you say every word, the more you talk, the more excited you become.

The leader of the people was the captain of the village. As soon as he waved, the people of Taihe Village followed them to Xie's house.

The dying Xie Ziyun who was beaten yesterday was sent back to the Xie family. It was because of taking care of his son that Xie Dongyi didn't go to the newspaper today.

While he was cursing the beater, the villagers stormed into his house angrily.

"Xie Dongyi, take your son out of Fengguo, there is no such humiliating family in our village." A villager said angrily.

"That's right, if people from other villages know that Xie Ziming is from our village, and they don't know how to scold our village, it will be too embarrassing for us."

"It's not just shameful, it's called being ungrateful, eating King Qi's meal against King Qi, bah, I really can't stand it anymore."

"..."

Xie Dongyi was dumbfounded by the scolding, and he shouted: "What are you talking about, I don't understand, it's just that you don't sympathize with my son's injury, why are you still humiliating him like this, you really treat me like me Is it bullying?"

"Bah, it's such a pity that no one was killed." A villager roared.

Xie Dongyi's face immediately flushed red. Xie Ziyun is the pride of their family. Just last year, he met a lot of high-ranking officials in Chang'an. This was the capital he boasted. The hoe on the side is about to hit someone, "Li Er, try again."

At this time, some villagers responded and shouted: "Xie Dongyi didn't go to the newspapers this morning, your son's name can be published in the newspapers now, he dared to bring some Confucian scholars to the gate of the palace to make trouble, openly opposed His Highness, and demanded His Highness abolishes the Bowen Academy and restores the previous system of the fief."

Hearing this, Xie Dongyi was suddenly dumbfounded, and he said in disbelief, "You are talking nonsense, you are jealous of my son, he can't do this!"

"What are you doing, the reporter is still at the head of the village. If you don't believe me, go ask him," said a villager.

Xie Dongyi's expression was wandering, and finally he decided to ask for an explanation. He dropped his hoe and ran to the center of the village. After a while, he walked back like a wood carving.

"We didn't lie to you." The village captain sighed. Seeing Xie Dongyi like this, he obviously didn't know what his son was thinking about all day.

Sitting on the ground, Xie Dongyi burst into tears, "You son of a bitch, I'll go to work early in the morning to cultivate the fields for you to study, but you don't study carefully to serve His Highness, yet you humiliate His Highness like this. If you don't have His Highness, can you continue to study? woohoo woo..."

Xie Dongyi cried sadly, and the angry villagers couldn't bear it. One of the villagers persuaded: "Xie Dongyi, you...let's figure it out for yourself, but our village can't tolerate him anymore, he's too talented, we can I don’t want to be implicated one day.”

Hearing this, Xie Dongyi's face turned ashen, looking at his second son, third son and youngest daughter, he silently made a decision in his heart, he said, "I beg everyone to let him heal his injuries first, and then I will cut off from him. The father-son relationship made him leave Fengguo, and from now on, I won't care whether he thrives or starves to death on the side of the road."

The villagers fell silent when they heard the words, they looked at each other and left.

After everyone left, Xie Dongyi returned to the house. At this time, Xie Ziyun was lying on the bed. Although he was beaten by many people, the attackers kept spare hands, and the injuries on his body were not too serious.

Looking at Xie Ziyun who was already awake, Xie Dongyi said, "You have heard everything outside. You can leave when you are healed. The villagers can't tolerate ungrateful people, and our Xie family can't tolerate ungrateful people either."

Xie Ziyun's fearful eyes were filled with anger, and he said, "Father, it's not my fault, I've been studying for so many years, but I'm not qualified to enter the officialdom in Fengguo, why! After all, King Qi is just a foolish king. , he doesn't look down on us poor disciples at all, and doesn't give us a chance."

"Nonsense!" Xie Dongyi said angrily: "All the students of Bowen College are eligible to take the exam, why didn't you go to Bowen College? It's not because Cui Hao is the examiner of the imperial examination in Chang'an, and he is afraid of being contaminated with Bowen College. Can’t you enter the officialdom in Chang’an? Aren’t you and those scholars who claim to be Confucian scholars with higher hearts than the sky? Don’t you despise the officials of Fengguo?”

Xie Ziyun was suddenly dumbfounded, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Knowing the son is like his father, for Xie Dongyi, whether it is an official in the Fengguo or in the court, this is a path, but now Xie Ziyun's behavior has touched the bottom line in his heart.

No one in the village now understands that they must support King Qi in order to keep the present good days. They have seen those refugees from Jizhou, and their miserable appearance is still fresh in their memory. They do not want to be as miserable as those refugees.

After a pause, he said: "There is a public school in the county town, and the county government said that anyone with children at home can go to the public school to study, and the public school can go to the Bowen College after reading, and after reading the Bowen College, the country will be sealed The talent of the pillar, Dad is going to let your second and third brothers go to study."

"Father, the second and third brothers are going to study, do you have so much money to offer?" Xie Ziyun argued.

"Your Excellency doesn't want money." Xie Dongyi sighed, "You don't want to work for such a good Highness, why on earth are you?"

When Xie Ziyun heard the words, he fell into silence.

While he was thinking about it, those Confucian scholars who followed him in the downtown were also faced with a similar situation. Many people were just bluffing. After learning the benefits, they wrote letters of repentance and handed them over to the government, and promised not to do it again. And they have also applied for Bowen College.

This time, the turbulent actions of the merchants, the common people, and the craftsmen completely frightened these Confucian scholars, and the decree announced by Xiao Ming was not opposed by anyone.

News kept coming, and Xiao Ming was very satisfied with the responses from all parties. He did not expect to take advantage of this opportunity to completely establish his own talent training and selection system.

Just when he was proud, the craftsman from the glass workshop came to the palace and gave him a telescope.
