sixty-eight shocked
...
"Several people, what's the point of doing!"
Jiang Ze and his group just entered the newspaper. Smelled the unique atmosphere of the paper and swept the noisy crowd in the newspaper. When they were about to walk towards a table in the newspaper lobby, they were stopped by someone who looked like a businessman behind him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze said to the man: "Brother, I really have something to do, I dare to ask..."
I didn't expect that when the businessman heard this, he interrupted Jiang Ze without hesitation: "If you want to do things, go to the back line. Want to go to the line? Do you understand the rules! You are really uneducated..."
The disdainful attitude of the merchant immediately made Jiang Ze blush with anger. He immediately said to the merchant: "Your Excellency, I have something urgent to discuss some important matters with the head of the here, so why do you make a retort?"
When the businessman heard this, he immediately showed a look of disdain and said to Jiang Ze: "What you said is really funny. It's really important that you come here to have something to do? We are all idle and have nothing to do? Don't ask, which one of the queues here has no need to deal with? Let's go line up..."
The businessman's words attracted the attention of those around him who came to the newspaper office to do business. Everyone looked at Jiang Ze and his group with a strange look, which made Jiang Ze extremely embarrassed. He had to stop talking and lined up with everyone with calm face.
At this moment, several schools came to teach the teachers outside the newspaper. After Jiang Ze saw them bowing to a key official in the newspaper, the key official took them to a case desk to handle the relevant procedures.
"Don't you all have to queue up? Why are they the exception!" Jiang Ze was already angry when he saw all this, and at this moment he could no longer help but raise his voice and questioned loudly.
Unexpectedly, the noisy newspaper immediately calmed down, and everyone looked at him with incredible expressions on his face.
The businessman in front of Jiang Ze couldn't help but turn back and said to him: "Are you here to make trouble or do things? Do you understand the rules here? Those teachers come to pick up books for students to read, of course you don't have to queue up!"
Jiang Ze looked dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that anyone has to queue up for doing things? Why don't you need to teach a teacher? He has something important, is it that we all have nothing important?"
Jiang Ze's words were extremely loud and instantly reached everyone's ears. Even the teachers looked at him with confusion, as if they were looking at monsters.
"Sir, what's the point of doing?" At this moment, a young man in official uniform stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Ze and asked, "Is there anything you need to help?"
Seeing that someone was paying attention to him, Jiang Ze immediately put away his irritable attitude and said to the official seriously: "I heard that everyone in your newspaper has to queue up for their affairs, but why don't those teachers be used? Isn't this inconsistent with your rules? Please explain it to me!"
The newspaper clerk was displeased when he saw Jiang Ze's arrogant attitude, but he still explained to him patiently: "Sir, you must have come from another place. You can understand that you don't understand the rules here. According to the order of the Military Governor's Office, you can collect any printed books in the newspaper without having to queue up to collect them in advance.
What's more, these teachers greeted the press two or three days in advance, which is not inconsistent with the rules. Now the new semester is about to start, and all schools are busy. The teacher should also understand that, after all, the Military Governor's Office stipulates that students' academic performance is the priority."
The important officer explained this very politely, but Jiang Ze still refused to give up. When he heard that these teachers were from the school, he couldn't help but sarcastically: "Haha, what are the faces of a group of guys who only know how to teach some school children?
Look at those who are only in their early twenties at most, they even have the dignity of calling themselves teachers. I am really not afraid of making people laugh!”
This was a mess. Jiang Ze's self-righteous remarks were full of disdain for the students in the school, but they also angered the people who were queuing up to work in the newspaper office.
After hearing Jiang Ze's extremely slanderous remarks, a middle-aged man who looked like a member of the school immediately cursed at him: "Can you be a country bumpkin speak? You dare to speak rudely and insult the school teachers and students? What a courageous!"
Another person waiting to do business also said: "I didn't expect that there are such things in Hanling City that are so ugly that I can see people in it. It's really uneducated."
"That's right, looking at the guy's clothes, he doesn't expect to say such vulgar words. It's really ridiculous..."
"Do you understand the teachings of saints? Do you understand arithmetic? Do you know how to speak nonsense? Have you learned astronomy and geography? These people also teach in schools. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with some money!"
"I saw this guy not going well. Since he entered the newspaper, he has been showing off his bad face and slightest eyes. I think he is not here to do business at all, but is looking for trouble sincerely. He should ask the security department to arrest this troublemaker and live in peace after a few days of jail..."
"With my love, I sent my son and daughter to school to study and read, or was it wrong? Tell you, if my child delays his studies because of you, I will not deal with you well!"
In the newspaper hall, everyone accused Jiang Ze of words and words, which made Jiang Ze's face pale. He wanted to show off his identity, but he didn't want to be exposed too early, so he could only silently endure the accusations from everyone.
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, the important officer immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, please calm down. Let this matter be handled. Please don't make any noise again, so as not to delay your important affairs..."
Soon, at the request of the important member, the newspaper hall gradually became quiet. Everyone looked at Jiang Ze and his party with contempt, making Jiang Ze and his party feel extremely uncomfortable.
After the order in the newspaper hall was restored, the important member said to Jiang Ze: "Sir, you should swallow your words back to your stomach. Hanling City respects teachers and teaches the status of teachers is extraordinary. I think you are the first offender, and I will not report to the Security Department this time, otherwise you will suffer from the flesh and blood..."
Jiang Ze was about to say something else, but was stopped by Wu Sidao on the side, and then bowed to the important officer: "This official, I have arrived at the precious land for the first time. I hope to forgive me if I don't handle it well in many places. I'll come to the newspaper today, but I'm just a little curious."
As he said that, Wu Sidao took out the "Far East Times" and said to the important officer: "I heard that this newspaper can be changed to tens of thousands in one day. We are very curious about this and want to ask about it."
Hearing this, the important officer gently tilted his lips and did not directly answer Wu Sidao's questions. Instead, he pointed to a counter with seven or eight people sitting, and said angrily: "If you have any doubts, please go to the consultation office to ask about the newspaper information. What you are in line with is the place where merchants publish newspapers for advertisements, so don't occupy other people's positions..."
Jiang Ze and Wu Sidao looked in the direction pointed by the important officer. Sure enough, there was a wooden sign of the "Consultation Office" in front of a counter with seven or eight people. They suddenly felt a little blushed. After a big relationship, they were in the wrong position.
With the contemptuous eyes of everyone around, the group left the team and came to the consultation desk.
In order to avoid Jiang Ze being impulsive again, Wu Sidao took the lead in coming to a gentleman who looked to him, holding the newspaper and asked: "This guy, please answer some questions. I hope you will tell me..."
The young official knew that this group of people was the one who caused trouble just now, and he had no good face, but seeing Wu Sidao was humble, he said politely to him: "Sir, if you have any questions, I will tell you all the ones you know..."
Wu Sidao nodded and said, "I wonder if this young man is like a rumor, is this newspaper tens of thousands a day? I look at the newspaper below and I am clear, like a fire. Can you tell me that something is wrong?"
Hearing this, the important official said with a smile: "Sir must be an outsider. I don't know that printing is understandable. This is not a human copy, but a printing effort. A newspaper rubbing will be made in just a moment..."
"Printing art? What is this?"
When Jiang Ze and others heard this word, their minds were full of questions and they were extremely puzzled.
The important officer then explained: "With this printing technique, any book and document can be widely popularized on a large scale, and even if you don't believe it, read it..."
As he said that, the important officer took out two more copies of "The Secretariat of the Saint" and put them in front of Jiang Ze and Wu Sidao, and let them compare and watch them themselves.
"It's so magical. Even if the same person copied it, the handwriting may not be exactly the same, but these two books can't find any fault..." Wu Sidao kept exclaiming as he flipped through the pages.
Jiang Ze also had a gloomy face and carefully searched for the differences in the texts on the two books. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any fault.
"Everyone let it go..."
At this moment, the teachers who came to receive the books before each took a cart of new books and walked out of the newspaper under the guidance of the important staff. Wherever they passed, the pedestrians voluntarily gave way and left a passage for them.
Jiang Ze keenly discovered that the covers of the new book on the car were the same prelude, and then compared the "Sage Exercise" in his hand, he immediately fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Jiang Ze suddenly discovered something extremely terrible and couldn't help but feel scared and sweated.
"If this printing technique is really as the newspaper said, and it can print countless books with the same content in just a short time, then it won't take long to see the intellectual advantages of my aristocratic family collapse.
At that time, ordinary people could read and write. Even if they were not as proficient as the children of my aristocratic family, they could not resist their large numbers. At that time, would those poor children who had studied still obey the rules of my aristocratic family and be at my mercy?
Liu Ce, what are you planning to do? Do you want to change the Central Plains scholars and commoners have other etiquette systems? As long as I, Jiang Ze, are there for one day, your conspiracy will not be achieved!
How can anyone read? Common people should work honestly and obey the instructions of my aristocratic family. Why do you have to fight for knowledge and fame? Hum..."
This is Jiang Ze’s most true thought in his heart, and it is also the most true thought of the major clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For the poor children who want to study and change their destiny, he will always only stay verbally in support. Once he really starts to threaten his position, he will try different ways to suppress it.
In the final analysis, it is that the old aristocratic family led by Jiang Ze is unwilling to change the current situation, because once it changes, it means that the status and resources of the gentry must be redistributed, which is a situation that almost the entire gentry does not want to see.
