First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 256: The truth of farming and reading heirloo

Popular recommendation:

Soon, Song Gui, the magistrate of Jiangning, was brought in.

"Song Gui, why didn't you try Han Xiuniang's case?"

"Because..." Song Gui also trembled, "Because the circumstances of this case are complicated and unethical, it will be difficult to handle for a while!"

"The case is complicated? It's complicated! Are you serious about asking? Or do you believe it when you listen to what the people below say? Or maybe you take advantage of it, shirk the blame, and deceive the other?"

Hearing this, Song Gui was so frightened that he quickly said: "Fu Zun, the official is really wronged. The Xiaguan has understood this case, and there are many complaints from the people, so I had to submit it to the Fu Zun and ask the Fu Zun to deal with it..."

"shut up!"

Xia Yu immediately interrupted Song Gui and asked again, "You said you understood, who did you understand? Where do the complaints from the people come from?"

"speak!"

Faced with this situation, Song Gui was in a chaotic situation, and could only say: "If you go back to Fu Zun, the lower official has consulted a few famous scholars in the scholarly forest, including the elders of Deqi... well, there is elder Wei!"

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. This clerk surnamed Wei bought the clerk, and the clerk left and right the county magistrate. In turn, the magistrate asked the surnamed Wei for advice... The logic closed the loop directly.

Xia Yu only felt that his scalp was numb, and frankly, he had already made the worst plan, but when he asked this, he still shuddered, beyond expectations.

If it doesn't stop here, it's all up to the surname Wei.

He peeked at Li Xi, Li Xi had already vaguely understood what was going on, and he was also uneasy, but he really didn't have the courage to stop there.

Li Shanchang has already expressed his stance on this matter. When facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he can talk freely and say that he is dedicated to the overall situation, but in the face of Li Shanchang, put away these nonsense as soon as possible, Li Xiangcai will not eat this!

"Check...Continue checking! Song Gui, write down the names of those famous scholars and squires and elders! Arrest these people and confront them face to face!"

With Li Xi's words, Song Gui can only do it. When the list is listed, Xia Yu and Li Xi have read it again, and their heads have grown a few times... Bad thing, several of them are known to them. Even if you don't know it, you've heard the name.

What should we do now?

Grasp!

What else can I do but catch it!

This time, the situation was special, Guo Ying took the shot directly, and the troops of the Gongwei Division were dispatched, and quickly brought in a dozen or so gentry and elders from Jinling.

Tell me, what happened to Han Xiuniang's case?

"Three principles and five constants, heaven and earth are the most logical. Women shouldn't come out to do things. If the door is not opened and the door is not opened, how can there be such a big disturbance at home? We defend the right way, speak up with justice, and have a clear conscience!"

Xia Yu frowned and said angrily, "How dare you lie? You didn't take advantage of the Wei family, so how could you be angry with them?"

"Where the Tao is, where the righteousness is! Xia Fuzun, you are also a scholar, don't you even know this truth? When you entered the school, your husband didn't teach you well?"

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

Xia Yu was speechless, these old guys were about to point their noses at people, saying that they had insulted the teacher. And what's worse, they really have the right to speak when it comes to seniority. .

In addition, Xia Yu could vaguely guess that these people did not lie, and most of them really did not receive the benefits of the Wei family.

But the problem is that they are both from Shilin and have been in touch with each other for a long time.

The case has reached this stage, and it is a bit out of the investigator's control. Even Li Xi, he can't make the decision.

"It's almost noon now, let's take a break for half an hour, and then interrogate in the afternoon!"

This shows how old Li Xi is. If he directly announces his retirement, he will most likely be dissatisfied with it. He can only use the name of rest to delay it.

Sure enough, he said it was a break, but he didn't leave. Isn't it just a lunch? People won't starve to death. Let's see, how will this end?

Li Xi and Xia Yu hurried to the second hall. As soon as they came, Zhang Ximeng and Li Shanchang were waiting here.

"Li Xiang, Zhang Xiang, what should I do with this matter? I really don't know how to end it?"

Li Shanchang remained calm and looked at Zhang Ximeng, "Zhang Xiang, what do you think?"

Zhang Ximeng said lightly: "Brother Li, there are two layers here, I can solve one layer, and the remaining layer, I'm afraid you will have to work hard."

Li Shanchang understood and immediately smiled: "Well, I just happened to listen carefully to Zhang Xiang's high arguments."

They chatted briefly, and they didn't wait for half an hour, and so many people were watching!

Zhang Ximeng and Li Shanchang ascended to the hall together, and now there are four adults sitting in the hall, which is really shocking.

The first person to speak was Zhang Ximeng, he smiled, "When I was talking about it, I talked about Gangchang, and I said that women shouldn't come out to do things. I can hear that this is some doubt about myself. At this moment, I want to hear it. Listen to what the big guy means."

Zhang Ximeng said, stood up and walked forward.

Those famous scholars still wanted to argue with Zhang Ximeng, so they clenched their fists and made a fight... Who knew that Zhang Ximeng had passed them and walked to the entrance of the hall, facing the people of Jinling, smiling and saying: "Folks What do you think, tell me, is it appropriate for women to come out and do things?"

Zhang Ximeng pointed at a middle-aged man, "You said, is it suitable?"

The middle-aged man shrank his neck in fright, "I don't dare to talk nonsense, I'm afraid of being beaten by my mother-in-law!"

In a word, it attracted laughter, but she was still a strict wife.

"Everyone said, after all, this is something that is going to fall on your head, even if you object, as long as it makes sense." Zhang Ximeng asked for a while, but no one came out to object.

There was even a person who dared to say: "We came to listen to this case, just want to know, in the future, can the mother-in-law come out to make money, and can she subsidize the family?"

Zhang Ximeng immediately said, "Are you willing to let Madam Zun come out?"

"Yes! My family has a lot of children, there are eight in total. If you can earn more, a fool won't want to!"

"What about the past? Madam Zun just doesn't do anything?"

"No, it's not! My mother-in-law can spin thread, embroider, and do some work, but she doesn't earn much, and she may not always have work to do."

After the man finished speaking, several other people stood up and said similar things.

The reason why Han Xiuniang has attracted so much attention is that most people are concerned about a most basic thing. Can women still come out and do things in an open and honest way?

In fact, no matter what the rules are, they are worthless in the face of survival.

Just like many women in rural areas, women in Jinling City also have to do things. Most people are not qualified to lock themselves at home and enjoy a comfortable life.

Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly when he heard the big guy's words, which was basically the same as his judgment.

Most of the women, it is not that they do not participate in labor, but they are unable to participate in labor with dignity.

Zhang Ximeng smiled and turned around and returned to the hall, "Li Xiang, you have seen it too, things are very clear... Poor people generally hope that women can come out to do things, but these scholars, squires and elders, are basically against it. This is a big thing. It's interesting!"

Li Shan said: "Zhang Xiang is wise and should be able to solve the puzzles of the big guy!"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "I can't talk about the confusion, I just want to say it, everyone can take a look... It is said that men farm and women weave, men lead outside, and women lead inside. In a family, women have less burden than men? I'm afraid Not necessarily, it is the husband and wife who join hands and shoulder the burden together to make life more prosperous and prosperous. Since most people are like this, they give women land, let women study, and go out to do things. Women can also stand up and support Family business seems to be a matter of course, at least earning a little more money and making life easier is always right."

"I'm just curious, why do well-educated people with virtue and elders hate women so much? Could it be that there is something hidden here, or maybe it's simply because of Gangchang's habit... Then you might as well ask one more question, how did this Gangchang come about? ?"

Zhang Ximeng's cadence became more and more sharp, and his words became more and more sharp, and he began to break through the complicated appearance to the core.

Li Shanchang, Li Xi and the others couldn't help but cheer up. Zhang Ximeng can speak amazing words at times like this. Today, I happened to experience his awesomeness!

"Let's think about it, if you don't give land to women and don't treat women as adults, does it mean that there must be men at the head of the family?"

"Let's first assume a situation where you have thousands of acres of fertile land in your home, and you need fifty tenant farmers to help you farm it, and give you half of the harvest every year, so you can sit back and enjoy it and live comfortably... At this time, what you think is What? Do you want these fifty households to be tenant farmers forever, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com will never change? Men farm the fields, women manage the housework at home, men have to take care of their wives and children, and cannot leave the family. To be a tenant farmer all your life, even from lifetime to lifetime, is like this!"

"But what if women can also stand up and support the family business? Every year, apart from plowing the fields and harvesting, men can go out to work, earn some money, and improve the life of the family. Or simply, the men stay behind. Farming the fields, taking care of the family, women going out to make money... No matter what, this family will get better and better. With more money accumulated, you can buy land or send your children to study. After a lifetime of hard work, the next generation may be able to change families... everyone Come to think of it, who would be the last to see this result?"

Before Zhang Ximeng could finish speaking, Li Shanchang took a deep breath and his face changed greatly. To be honest, he also knew that the gentry were not willing to promote the status of women.

But it was really hard for Li Shanchang to explain the truth.

However, after Zhang Ximeng's analysis and analysis, the big guy suddenly realized that there was a deep calculation in it.

Instead of granting land to women and tying women to the house, in fact, women and family are used as a shackle, and in turn, men are tied to the land, and the men are fixed on the ground, allowing them to work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and face each other. Facing the loess with his back to the sky, he cares for the flawless.

In the end, it was natural that the gentry possessed a large amount of land.

Interestingly, the scholar-officials advertised farming and reading for heirlooms, but how many of them actually went to the fields to farm?

You honestly cultivate the fields and support me to study comfortably. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the heirloom of farming and reading!
