Chapter 299

Wang Xijue, who was waiting for Jin Yiwei to let him in outside the mansion compound, also frowned at this moment and looked at the common people who came in and out of the jewelry store opposite, and shook his head and sighed.

"The people don't observe the etiquette, and forget the old system at the beginning of the country. As soon as they enter the city, they blindly buy gold and silver, eat, drink and play, and don't know day and night. This is a romantic affair of a noble family, and the common people are like this. I always feel that it is not good."

After Wang Xijue entered the mansion compound and came to see Shen Shixing, he talked about it.

After hearing this, Shen Shixing asked with a smile: "Why do you think it's not a good taste?"

"Uncomfortable!"

"A kind of uncomfortable feeling that elegance is invaded by vulgarity!"

"It's like making tea around a stove. It's an elegant thing for scholars, but I saw people in short clothes and soap shirts making tea around the stove!"

Wang Xijue told Shen Shixing very frankly that after seeing how many people poured into the capital for consumption these days, he asked Shen Shixing: "After seeing so many people from the countryside pouring into the city these days, don't you feel this way?" ?"

Shen Shixing said at this time: "But Zhang Zuo, who is in charge of Chongwenmen's taxation, just went up and said that yesterday's taxation suddenly increased to 560 a tael!"

"What does this mean?"

"It means that if so many new commoners enter the capital every day, Chongwenmen's annual income will break through to 20 taels!"

"In addition, it also proves that the wealth of Xiaomin is quite impressive!"

As he said that, Shen Shixing asked Wang Xijue: "Do you still feel uncomfortable now?"

"Sure enough?"

Wang Xijue was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly asked Shen Shixing for confirmation.

Shen Shixing nodded: "Your Excellency is now a cabinet bachelor, you can go back to the cabinet to read this chapter."

"That said, I don't feel so uncomfortable in my heart."

After Wang Xijue said something, he suddenly thought of tea, picked up the tea, and said with a smile: "I feel better immediately!"

"The servant is just like you!"

"After seeing so many common people scattered, but did not go out of the city, but wandered around for fun, I also felt a little uncomfortable."

"Although there is no hunger and hunger in the prosperous age, there is no need for farming and weaving; but I always feel that the people in the countryside are stranded in the city like this, causing some extravagance and comparison. I am afraid it will not benefit the country. It may be more beneficial to the country to spend more time in the city.”

Shen Shixing said at this time.

Wang Xijue nodded: "Seeing the little knowledge, the grand master's ten-year achievements are all reflected today, no wonder the country wants to benefit the people!"

"That's right!"

"How do you and I feel, is it important to have benefits from the country?"

"Personally, what is it compared to these national funds that can be increased without taxation?!"

Shen Shixing patted his knees resolutely and asked about Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue sighed: "Yes, selfish desires can't be compared with public interests."

"My servant finally understands why Mr. Ouyang Wenzhong wanted to share the fun with the people, not only to show his integrity, but also because of this, but it should be for you and me to emulate the ambition of practicing!"

Shen Shixing continued.

"Happy with the people."

Wang Xijue read a word silently, then nodded, and said: "I almost forgot the business, I came to see you today because of one thing."

"There is no need to ask this matter again!"

Shen Shixing didn't wait for Wang Xijue to ask, and replied with a serious face.

After saying that, Shen Shixing said: "For the sake of peace in the world, they must be ripped apart!"

"What does this have to do with the peace of the world?"

Wang Xijue hurriedly asked.

Shen Shixing looked at Wang Xijue: "The hearts of the people are in turmoil. Once ignited, it is easy to start a prairie fire and cause disaster!"

"So once the people change, we must pay attention to it, and we must shed blood!"

"Either the blood of the people is shed, or the blood of those who instigate the uprising, or someone will die because of the uprising!"

"For the stability of the state power, it is the bottom line of our rulers not to coerce the people; just like your majesty who seeks to seek the country is endless, and the grand master cannot be denied is the bottom line!"

"The younger generations don't know what to do, thinking that mobilizing the people can force the court to make concessions and trample on the law, but the rulers can't let this trend grow and spread!"

"understood!"

Wang Xijue nodded, and then suddenly sighed: "Ru Mo, you have changed, and you have a heart of iron and stone."

"is it?"

Shen Shixing smiled slightly, and then explained: "Perhaps it's because the Grand Master's will is still alive, and His Majesty is so wise and resolute that the servant is not discouraged."

"At present, the powerful are still in power in the court, and the science and ethics are suppressed. Scholars can't be impulsive. If they are not in their positions, they will not seek their own politics. Since the princes are in their positions, it is inevitable that they will become powerful."

"Understandable."

Wang Xijue replied.

Shen Shixing suddenly said seriously: "But I haven't changed my old ambition!"

Then, Shen Shixing softened his tone and said to Wang Xijue: "Those who are dissatisfied with the government should bother you to see me again!"

"Although they have always regarded me and other ministers as thieves, but I and other ministers have not regarded them as thieves. I still hope that the civil servants of the world and Your Majesty can be as one, work together, and do a few major things that Your Majesty wants to do!"

"Because the Son of Heaven wants to be a king of action, but a subject cannot be a subject of inaction!"

As Shen Shixing spoke, he looked at the continuous spring rain outside, and didn't say anything else.

"Don't worry! Who hasn't been young and angry?"

Knowing that he was tired, Wang Xijue said goodbye.

……

Clang!

After the tea splashed, the teacup that flew out of Wang Xijue's hand fell to the ground and turned into flowers.

Gu Xiancheng, Li Sancai, and Li Zhi who were invited by him all looked at this scene in shock.

"Why do you show us this way of admonishing your family?"

Li Zhi also asked in a cold voice because of this.

"The people can use it every day but don't know it; don't you know this truth?"

Wang Xijue didn't answer Li Zhi, but asked the three people directly.

Gu Xiancheng took the initiative to nod: "I know."

Wang Xijue asked: "Then why do you incite the people to stop the holy will and participate in the government; the people's movements are like smoke, you don't know it!"

"Every insightful person in the world dare not encourage the people. You are so lucky, but you continue to do so! You think you have mastered some good strategy, and even I hide it from you. Thanks to my tireless efforts to help you."

After Wang Xijue said that, he waved his sleeves with a serious face.

"Thinking that today's officials care less about scholars and love the people, so I think this is okay."

Gu Xiancheng explained.

"But I've never seen such a stupid person!"

Wang Xijue said something straightforward, then looked at Gu Xiancheng, Li Sancai, and Li Zhi, and asked with a sneer:

"Now that I see the result, do you still feel that you are very smart and can save people under the condition of the holy will, and even feel that the world is better than me?"

"I didn't need to crack the car, but because of you, it's self-defeating!"

Wang Xijue waved his sleeves and turned his back to the three of them again.

Li Zhi panted heavily and couldn't help standing up.

Li Sancai held him back.

Gu Xiancheng said at this time: "But they also incited the people."

"Yeah, they incited it too."

Wang Xijue said with a smile, then turned his head to look at Gu Xiancheng: "But don't you think this is more embarrassing than making yourself appear?"

"One is not being cautious. Even though you think that you are not directly involved, you just disclose it to the broker, and you can be safe, but you don't know that they may have their own people among the local ruffians, so let them know in advance what you are doing."

"Secondly, it is unwise. Knowing that the new policy is beneficial to the common people and not beneficial to the gentry, yet despise the common people, thinking that the common people are ignorant, and take advantage of them; but forget that the officials you despise are familiar with how to mobilize the common people. It's far above you and me! Otherwise, how could they be promoted step by step during the restructuring? Do you really think that they are just good at making money?"

"The third is not to be afraid. People who mobilize the common people know to let His Majesty know first, but you have never thought that such a major event must be known by your father. Even me, you have to keep it a secret!"

Wang Xijue carefully analyzed for these three people.

Li Zhi seemed unconvinced after hearing this, and breathed heavily.

Gu Xiancheng lowered his head with a calm expression.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Sancai stood up and bowed to Wang Xijue:

"The public blames it! We are too self-righteous. We only think that we are smart people, but we are often too smart. We regret it ourselves!"

Wang Xijue glanced at Li Sancai, then softened his words, and said: "I have already asked for you at the cabinet, and the ministers have no intention of getting rid of you quickly; but in the future, you all think about it carefully, if you still If you want to be an official, you should follow the trend and change!"
