Chapter 708: Collected Works of Wei Gongliangchen
To a certain extent, Eunuch Wei is a man who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong.
This is also human nature. After all, the conflict with the Donglin Party is a conflict within the people. Eunuch Wei hopes to ease the problem in the future. For this reason, he does not want to bear the reputation of killing the king of Tota.
Let it go. I heard that King Li was dancing in Suzhou City at this time, so it depends on what he could jump out.
Eunuch Wei is now fearless, with five thousand soldiers in his hands. The officials in Nanzhili had to consider whether he had the strength if he wanted to move.
The most important thing is that the imperial edict has not been issued for a day, and the officials who want to touch him, Eunuch Wei must consider what his Majesty the Emperor means.
These days, the governor of Yingtian, Cao Shipin, said ruthlessly, but he did not see his soldiers crossing the red line drawn by Eunuch Wei.
What does this mean?
This shows that Cao Shipin was unsure and didn't know what to do.
It’s best not to move. Eunuch Wei is not afraid if he moves. His only worry now is whether Shouning’s mistress bribed her father. Will his cheap father-in-law agree to the proposal to set up a special zone in Wusongkou?
Eunuch Wei is not in the camp now, so he goes to pick up the people from the Nanjing garrison yamen.
The Nanjing Governor's Marine Office and the Admiral's Maritime Office belong to the same company. They are also local snakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the central government guards are the leaders of the southeastern half of the country. Therefore, the Wei naturally cannot be too arrogant, and he must show more enthusiasm.
For this reason, Eunuch Wei specially asked Zheng Duo to go to Shanghai County to invite a few girls.
.....
Gu Dazhang complained, but Xu Xianqing didn't have time to take on this conversation, because if they couldn't clear the pile of stones at night, they would have no food to eat.
Originally, when they were on the canal fleet, the people in Donglin were having a better life. Perhaps because they were worried that there were many people watching on the shore, the manager was quite kind to them and the food supply was good.
But since I called Wusongkou, the treatment was instantly reduced, making people unable to complain.
The teachers and students from Donglin were in groups of three, burying their heads to carry the stones on the roadside. They were so tired that they were sweating profusely. Many of them had their hands and feet blisters, and their waists were so sore that they couldn't straighten up. They wanted to take a break, but the supervisor who was holding the whip would not let them rest. If they had to say a few words, the whip would be ruthlessly whipped up.
This made the Donglin teachers and students very angry. You must know that most of them are fame and fortune!
Since the founding of this dynasty, there has not been such a ridiculous thing to encounter!
Mr. Jing Yi really couldn't do it anymore, even if the disciples around him shared a lot for him, he couldn't do it. When a person is old, his body is not as good as a young man, and he can't do it even if he doesn't accept his old age.
Seeing that Mr. Jing Yi could not do anything, the two disciples hurriedly asked him to sit down first.
Gao Panlong nodded and sat down on the ground, but as soon as his butt landed, a sharp voice came from his ear: "Who, who asked you to do it!"
The one who came was Song Sibao. He had just finished brushing the slogans and came over with a tin tube to motivate scholars to do their best, but he saw that someone was lazy.
Gao Panlong could no longer hold it back. He threw the basket in his hand on the ground in anger and scolded: "I am a Jinshi, but you, the minions of the eunuch, want me to be this coolie. How could you harm me!"
"So what about the Jinshi origin?"
Song Sibao recognized the old man as Mr. Jing Yi. He had a high prestige among the Donglin teachers and students, but this did not mean that Mr. Jing Yi could break the rules set by Eunuch Wei.
"Gao Panlong, my father-in-law said that everyone is equal in front of labor. Don't say that you are a Jinshi, even if you are a top scholar, you have to work honestly!"
Song Sibao's voice was loud, deliberately asking everyone to hear it clearly.
His words were really what Eunuch Wei said, because Eunuch Wei did not regard Gao Panlong as a Jinshi as a major event. It should be noted that before Mr. Gao resigned, he was just a small clerk from Jieyang, Guangdong, and even a seventh-rank official was not.
Therefore, several Jinshi graduates, including Gao Panlong, only had a resume in the eyes of Eunuch Wei, which was equivalent to having studied at a university. As for Juren and scholars, he didn't take it seriously.
"Don't do it!"
Gao Panlong hates eunuchs the most, and his beard is so angry that he has a slight tilted.
Song Sibao yelled: "Mr. Jing Yi, my father-in-law has taken special care of you. Otherwise, how could I ask you to do this easy job?"
Gao Panlong really doesn't want to do it anymore. He can't stand the shame and said flatly: "If you have the courage, you can beat me to death. I will not do anything today!"
"It's almost dark, Eunuch Wei said, you can't clear the pile of stones before it's dark, and you can't have dinner." Song Sibao didn't dare to really beat Mr. Jing Yi to death.
"If you don't eat, don't eat it. I will never make a cow or horse for the castrated thief!" Gao Panlong became more arrogant and ignored it.
Song Sibao was not happy to listen to this: "Mr. Jing Yi's words are wrong. Why are you doing cattle and horses for my father-in-law? The teacher is obviously working for the people of dozens of miles. You must know that if this road is repaired, it will benefit the people."
"Don't be too verbose!"
Gao Panlong roared, "Today I want to fight, and to kill, and to kill, so don't even think I will give another part of my strength to the eunuch!"
The roar made the Donglin teachers and students around him put down the tools in their hands and looked at Gao Panlong with admiration.
"Mr. Jing Yi, that's sorry. If you don't have any rules, you always ask yourself." Song Sibao's face suddenly turned dark. He waved his hand and ordered him to the left: "Come on, please ask Mr. Jing Yi to learn and transform!"
………………
Scholars all understand the truth, but understanding the truth does not mean that they should be separated from workers and become a privileged class above workers.
Eunuch Wei does not like the Confucian theory of self-cultivation and family management and governing the country and pacifying the world.
Although, he is a scholar himself.
He believes that only by going deep into the working people can scholars understand greater truths. Otherwise, the truth they understand is that they have limitations and are limited by class.
This principle is good for scholars, but not for ordinary people.
Confucianism says that if you want to make a clear sense of virtue in the world, you must first govern the country; if you want to make a country, you must first consolidate the family; if you want to make a family, you must first cultivate your body; if you want to make a body, you must first correct your heart; if you want to make a correct mind, you must first sincere intention; if you want to make a sincere intention, you must first realize your knowledge, and you must first realize your knowledge in studying things.
What is a study?
Eunuch Wei clearly stated that investigating things is not about exploring things, but about labor.
Only by working can we study things and lead to knowledge.
Only by working can one know the truth, and only by knowing the truth can one be sincere. If one has the sincerity, one has the right heart. Only by being upright can one cultivate oneself. Only by being upright can one manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world.
The more scholars who are free from labor understand, the worse they are to the people.
Anything, any truth can be discovered in labor and can be realized through labor.
Therefore, labor reform is an effective way to correct the pedantic and superior thoughts in the minds of scholars.
Therefore, Eunuch Wei specially arranged for the Donglin teachers and students to work together, but he was very dedicated.
Of course, if Gao Panlong hadn't encouraged the academy to worship Gu Xiancheng on the first seventh day of Gu Xiancheng, Eunuch Wei wouldn't have been in such a hurry to transform the teachers and students of Donglin.
According to his plan, these people must at least take care of them for a while to ease their nervousness and adapt to a new lifestyle.
The most critical link in labor reform is not labor, but transformation.
"Get in!"
Gao Panlong was pushed into a small room by two minions. There was only a wooden bed and a table in the room, and there was a bench beside the table.
"Study your father-in-law's selection of writings well, reflect carefully, and change your self-righteous habits!" Song Sibao said outside.
Gao Panlong then noticed that there was a book on the table, which was written on it. It was a collection of Wei Gongliangchen.
What kind of collection of essays can a dog eunuch have the face?
