"What do you want."
Li Ang did not follow the other person's words and looked at Ya Jiu and asked directly.
Jiao Cheng's case involves the Chang'an Ghost Market and the Tomb of the Sword Immortal. The other party can collect good information silently and show that he is not afraid of the academy's retaliation. What he is planning must be quite big.
It won't be mundane things like money.
"Unleash kindness."
Yajiu smiled slightly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, releasing the sound isolation technique to seal the conversation between the two.
"I am not a disciple of the academy. To be precise, I am a failed student of a certain academy."
Yajiu smiled and said: "At that time, a doctor from the academy, Jun Qianzi, your teacher's junior brother, found me and gave me an opportunity to be an apprentice. He led me to the path of cultivation and saw the world.
Magnificent and magnificent.
Our two teachers are as close as brothers. As brothers of the same generation, you and I should naturally support each other."
Li Ang stared at the other party quietly without saying a word.
"Of course, I admit that it is really not good to invite you out with this kind of personal threat. But after all, you are now the uncle of Jianguo County, and you still have the talisman given by Lian Xuanxiao on you, so it is not good to 'invite'."
Yajiu spread his hands and said casually: "Anyway, I really want to ask you out of the city just to have a good chat. If I want to harm you, I can write an anonymous letter and give it to the Zhenfu Secretary.
Or just write the investigation results on pieces of paper and spread them to Chang'anfang City at night, right?"
"..."
Li Ang looked at the other party and paused for a moment. Jiao Cheng and others were all scum, so he would just kill them if they were killed. With his title, he could get away with it.
Even the prince and the dignitaries of Kaifu Yitong and the Third Division would not be able to think of overthrowing themselves in this matter.
But hiding alienated objects privately, or even using alienated objects to pass the academy examination and obtain the title of No. 1 Scholar is another concept.
Given the rigorous and conservative atmosphere of the academy, there is no telling what will be done.
Li Ang said: "What do you want to talk about."
Yajiu smiled slightly: "Looking at the expression on your face, it should be that Pu Liuxuan didn't tell you about my teacher, right?
Oh, Mr. Jun Qianzi is a very interesting person. He is strict with himself, lenient towards others, kind-hearted, gentle in character, dedicated to academics, adhering to the purpose of the academy, and benefiting the people of Yu State.
He has presided over the construction of bridges on Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, the construction of river dams and seawalls on Jiangnan East Road, and the locust disaster relief in Tongji Province...
Just like what you are doing now."
"Oh."
Li Ang replied indifferently. During this period of time, he also read some past information about the academy in the library.
The names of Pu Liuxuan and Cheng Juxiu were seen in some written archive records.
Cheng Juxiu is fine, but there are obvious traces of modification, erasure, and deletion in Pu Liuxuan’s information. The personal information is incomplete.
Generally, this happens to those who defect from the Academy, or cause heavy losses to the Yu State, and are eventually expelled from the Academy.
Combined with the fact that Pu Liuxuan left Chang'an fifteen years ago, it is not difficult to imagine that he was most likely involved in some kind of turmoil and ended up in such a narrow place.
Considering that Pu Liuxuan voluntarily sealed his cultivation and ran away, and the mountain chief finally let him return,
Pu Liuxuan was probably not the culprit or the main player in that turmoil. It was very possible that he was only incidentally implicated.
As for who is the culprit...
The text file that Li Ang read had been completely deleted. No one in the university wanted to mention it, including Su Feng, a doctor of science, who had the best personal relationship, and Chao Wenyuan, a doctor of mathematics.
"Junior brother, I'll just call you Risheng. I heard your friends call you that."
Yajiu smiled and said: "Ri Sheng, who do you think has the worst life in the Yu Kingdom?"
"Huh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, and the topic of Ya Jiu suddenly jumped, which seemed a little baffling.
Who lives the worst...
There is no daylight in the mine, and the laborers are working hard.
His appearance and bloodline are the same as those of the Yu people, but because he is a foreign national, he has no personal rights and has been a slave of the nobles for generations.
Children who were trafficked, harvested, mutilated, and later became disabled,
The land was annexed and the refugees were forced to leave their homes...
Yajiu caught Li Ang's slightly paused expression and said with a smile: "Look, you are not a young man from Wuling who came from a noble family in Chang'an. You have seen the miserable situation of the people at the bottom of the Yu Kingdom.
A fishing family with a daily income of 80 Wen - this should be very common in Zhenzhou.
There are fishing boats and fishing nets, and a family has lived on the boat for generations, fishing hard every day and night to earn money for the family to maintain a normal life.
Such a family can only eat light food or eat pickles. Their children will never have the opportunity to attend private schools in their lives. They cannot read words, and the closest moment to learning is.
It’s the annual temple fair where Mr. Hearing and Reading lectures.
Such a family has no savings, no future, no hope, and no chance to turn over for generations.
A natural disaster, a heavy rain, an exploitation by evil officials, or even just the collapse of a board on a fishing boat,
It’s enough to leave this family without a place to die.
But to be fair, are they the worst off? At least they still have fishing boats as a permanent asset."
Yajiu said calmly: "Farmers living in the mountains have a more difficult life.
Corrupt officials, evil officials, harsh government, fiercer than wolves, tigers and leopards,
Whenever the weather is bad and farmland production decreases, farmers have to cut back on food and clothing, and even kill family members to save food rations.
If farmers encounter a natural disaster, they will eat everything from bean crumbs to chaff, bark and leaves, and oak flour.
Living is the greatest luxury."
Yajiu paused for a moment and continued, "There are also slaves. The Yu State prohibits the keeping of slaves, but it does not prohibit the keeping of slaves who do not have the nationality of the country.
In those wealthy families, there is a kind of slave family that has been passed down from generation to generation.
They live in the mansion forever, and will never step out of the mansion for several generations. From the time they are born, they are instilled with the concept of being a good slave and serving a good master.
They are no different from the Yu people in appearance and blood, but they always live in the woodshed and sleep on the floor. Their owners can beat and scold them as much as they want and vent their anger. Even if they torture and kill the slaves, no one or organization will ask questions.
Responsibility.
Decades ago, there was a general named Xiahou. A slave in his family stole a pinch of salt from the kitchen in order to keep his son alive. After the incident was exposed, General Xiahou ordered flies and insects to be caught and fed to the slave and his son.
.
In terms of experience in torturing slaves, General Xiahou is still far behind the real [nobles].
The most ironic thing is that in order to allow noble families to obtain slaves from generation to generation,
Those honors are occasionally exchanged."
A cruel smile appeared on Yaojiu's face, "Ri Sheng, you should understand what this means, right?
A family or several slaves can easily give birth to children with congenital defects.
Mutual exchange is necessary to prevent close relatives from getting married.
Haha, the theory of non-marriage with the same surname proved by the academy was used by these nobles to circumvent the law of Yu - as long as both parents are slaves, then the children born are also congenital, slaves of foreign nationality."
Yajiu shook his head and said: "In addition, there are also Jiaofangsi, Pingkangfang and women who have fallen into prostitution in various states;
An old soldier who was disabled and abandoned;
Workers in workshops in Luoyang, Yangzhou and other places...
Risheng, you should have seen how those workshop owners who leased the Academy's patents exploited their labor, right?
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have voluntarily given up the sky-high buyout fee when licensing the patent.
Instead of adding a bunch of cumbersome conditions to protect workers that are completely unnecessary in the eyes of others."
Seeing that Li Ang remained silent, Yajiu then smiled and said: "Is the Academy good? It is indeed very good.
Compared with the pre-Sui and even older eras, with the Academy, the survival of at least tens of millions of people can be guaranteed.
No matter how miserable and poor you are, at least you still have a chance to survive.
But Xuegong, can’t we do more?
Monks and bureaucrats with academic backgrounds are spread throughout the Yu Kingdom.
On the surface, Zhenfusi and Xuegong are competing against each other, but everyone knows that Xuegong's degree of penetration into the Yu Kingdom's court is far beyond what Zhenfusi can compare with.
The Academy as a whole can easily decide the national policies of the Yu State, amend the laws of the Yu State, eliminate one or a group of opposing ministers, and even replace the emperor at will if necessary.
Imperial power, to put it bluntly, is just power and status.
Whoever possesses these two things will be the ruler of Yu State.
But Xuegong didn't do this.
Of course, those doctors, priests, and priests can proudly tell their disciples that it is the academy's pride and self-control to not interfere in government affairs.
But is it right that this has always been the case?
Obviously, it only takes a few internal meetings in the academy to unify opinions, and the incompetent Yu State court can be reshaped.
We can save those people who live at the bottom of the Yu Kingdom and whose sufferings are not seen by anyone.
Xuegong always fails to take action because of his damn pride and self-restraint.
Even if the Holy Queen massacred the Li clan, court officials, and scholars who wrote objections,
Even if some Yu emperors before the Holy Queen were fatuous and incompetent, they were greedy for pleasure and caused greater suffering to the people of Yu State.
The court of Yu State and the Emperor of Yu State are just bullshit,
A monk in the Zhuxiao Realm can play a greater role on the battlefield than ten thousand warriors.
If you go for assassination, except for a few people in the world, there is a possibility of death.
The Academy is like a giant who has no power but allows his authority to be manipulated by children.
If you fail to take what God has given you, you will be punished by God."
Yajiu's emotions were excited at first, then calmed down, and he said calmly to Li Ang: "Risheng, as a disciple of the academy, you should have read a lot of books, right?
Du Gongbu lived in poverty for a period of time in his later years, and had to join the ranks of the poor who ate Taicang rice at reduced prices.
A friend treated him to a meal of "Chang'an's winter jasmine is sour and green, and Jincheng's earth is as crisp and quiet as prune", which actually made him express his emotion, "I just want to have enough to eat in my remaining years, and I just hope we can see each other more often."
Du Gongbu is my favorite poet, but the poor people who are more miserable and difficult than him have never had the opportunity to speak out. They cannot read or write, so naturally they can only speak out by breaking out before death.
.
My teacher Jun Qianzi believes that the Academy clearly has the power to change the current situation of Yu State, and if it does not use it, it would be a breach of responsibility and injustice."
"So he defected from the academy?"
Li Ang finally asked, his tone was a declarative sentence.
"The process is a little more complicated."
Yajiu nodded and said: "His status in the academy was not low before, but he realized that continuing to invent and create like Su Feng, a doctor of science, is just giving wealth to the rich and powerful.
Let them eat their profits better and more efficiently,
It is difficult to benefit the people at the bottom and effectively improve their living environment.
Instead, like the workshops that have sprung up like mushrooms in Luoyang, Yangzhou and other places, they will try their best to exploit and exploit workers, causing more people to suffer.
He tried to promote changes within the Academy, but the resistance was too great.
Not everyone is like him and thinks that the academy should be used to improve or even completely replace the Yu State court——
For the many doctors in the Academy, they only need to stay in the Academy to enjoy the resources provided by the entire Yu Kingdom and have status and power. Naturally, they do not need to take risks to overthrow the imperial court.
Including the use of Dongjun Tower - Dongjun Tower contains alienated objects collected by the Academy over the past three hundred years, of which countless alienated objects can be used to improve people's livelihood.
But all of them were sealed because of old-fashioned ideas.
Only a few alienated items such as [Close Insect] and [Chang'an Scenery] can be used.
He was so disappointed with the academy that he finally decided to defect. In the process, his teacher Pu Liuxuan was implicated."
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if what Yajiu said was true.
If it is true, then according to Pu Liuxuan's idea, he will definitely break with that Jun Qianzi.
"The final result of the defection was that my teacher fled out of the Yu Kingdom, was seriously injured, and was on the verge of death.
And because your teacher failed to stop Jun Qianzi, he was angered by the Yu court and was forced to seal his cultivation, leave Chang'an, and return to his hometown in Zhenzhou."
Yajiu said: "Let us not mention the rights and wrongs and grievances of the previous generation for now.
Risheng, what I want to know is, are you willing to join us?"
"Huh?"
Yajiu uses the term "we".
Could it be that Jun Qianzi is not dead and has even recruited more people over the years?
"The Taoist sect of Haotian only knows how to worship unintelligent idols, the imperial court of Yu State only knows how to maintain itself, the bureaucrats of Yu State only know how to fish and feed the common people, and the Academy only knows how to stay out of it."
Yajiu smiled and said: "Only we can truly change the world."
"Who are you?"
A flash of light flashed in Li Ang's eyes, and Yajiutu realized that everything he did and said before was all to recruit him.
But even from the perspective of personal interests,
As the founding county uncle of the Yu State and a disciple of the Academy, he would need at least a very high price to persuade him to surrender.
"You can call us, Zhao Ming."
Yajiu smiled and said: "My teacher, Jun Qianzi, who is already a high-level monk in the Zhuxiao Realm, is just one of them.
The power we possess is beyond imagination, the future we can create is far beyond the imagination of the world, and the benefits we can bring to you will never be lower than those of the Academy."
