Chapter 113 Grasp the rhythm

Seeing this young scholar being slapped by his own son, many people present shook their heads secretly.

Tonight, there are almost all the well-known officials and gentry in Zhenjiang Prefecture. Is their knowledge and knowledge not as good as you, a young scholar? Haven’t you seen so many mature and polite people not speaking, but you just jumped out. You are really a nerd who is stupid in reading.

After scolding his son, the gentleman bowed to Yang Feng and said, "Mr. Yang, the dog son is young and contradicted the adults in vain. I hope he will not bother with the dog son. I am here to apologize to the adults."

"Dad... it's just him talking nonsense..." The young scholar was still dissatisfied and wanted to speak, but as soon as he said that, he was slapped in the face again on the other side. This time, he made the middle-aged man so angry that he pointed at the scholar and shouted: "You rebellious son, you dare to talk back. Do you really think I dare not be a master? Why did I, Feng Anjian, give birth to you such an idiot."

After saying that, the middle-aged man reached out and wanted to hit someone again.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, please calm down!"

Yang Feng stopped Feng Anjian's actions by saying a word: "Still stop Feng, I want to have a good chat with the noble master."

After saying that, Yang Feng turned to the scholar and said, "Look at this young master's outfit, he should be studying? I don't know what to call him?"

Although the scholar was beaten by his father and his face was swollen, he was still very dissatisfied. After hearing Yang Feng's question, he stood up straight and said with high spirits: "I'm not talented, Feng Youlun, the general education and government minister of the provincial examination last year was wrongly loved by the juren of Zhenjiang Prefecture."

"Oh... Is he actually a juren?"

Yang Feng was a little surprised now. Seeing that Feng Youlun was only twenty-three or four years old, he had already achieved the reputation of being a Juren, which was very rare.

However, Yang Feng was just a little surprised. He looked up and down at Feng Youlun and found that this guy was tall and upright in his figure. The important thing was that he also had a face with a national character. You should know that being an official nowadays depends on his appearance. The national character face is recognized as the most suitable face for an official.

As the saying goes, Yang Feng has been a thousand households for several months and has been engaged in a period of contact with the emperor Zhu Youxiao. In addition, he trains soldiers every day and fights with the Japanese pirates with a bloody battle with the Japanese pirates. Even Yang Feng himself did not notice it. He had already cultivated the majesty of an official and the iron-blooded spirit of a soldier without realizing it. When he was seriously focused, Feng Youlun felt a great pressure on his body and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Just as Feng Youlun held his hands tightly and his face gradually turned pale, Yang Feng spoke, "Feng Youlun, you just said that this official is a nonsense and confusing the public. I wonder what evidence do you have to say this?"

Feng Youlun suppressed his nervousness and said, "That's what it is. I want my Ming Dynasty to surrender to all directions, and its territory is vast and boundless. But the master said that my Ming Dynasty only occupied a small corner of the world, and there are so many countries outside that are comparable to my Ming Dynasty. Isn't this nonsense and confusing the public?"

Yang Feng shook his head helplessly and stared at Feng Youlun and said, "I once heard a saying, "No investigation, there is no right to speak. It means that if you don't understand something in detail or witness it with your own eyes, you'd better not say anything casually.

What you said about me, the great Ming Dynasty, the vast and vast Tian Dynasty surrendered to you, but you scholars were just sitting at home and closing the door. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is now in the midst of internal and external troubles. Not to mention anything else, in the northeast, the thief chief Nurhaci has occupied most of Liaodong. A few days ago, we occupied our Chenyang City and changed our name to Shengjing. Now we have changed the country name to the Later Jin Dynasty and openly compete with our Ming Dynasty.

There were pirates along the coast, and the Dutch and Spanish on the sea occupied the high-ranking officials (Taiwan), and refugees were everywhere. Can such a Ming Dynasty be said to be surrendering to all directions?”

Hearing this, no one was present, and Feng Youlun even lowered his head and refused to speak.

After all, this kind of thing is well known, and they cannot deny it with the nerve to bite the bullet, but Feng Youlun still mustered up the courage.

"Mr. Yang said this, it's hard to have you been to these places?"

"Of course, I can tell you clearly that I have been to these places." Yang Feng said confidently while comforting himself mentally that he had watched it on TV.

"I followed my family to sea at the age of eight, blocking most of the world. Whether it is England, Florence, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, they have left the footprints of my official. The map was drawn by me for more than ten years. I can line up my chest to tell anyone that all the countries on this map are real. Mr. Feng stood up and questioned me just by reading a few books. You should tell me who is talking nonsense?"

"I...this..."

Feng Youlun was forced to speak, and his face turned flushed for a moment. Some people who originally had the same idea as Feng Youlun were also dumb. They had already said that they had witnessed it with their own eyes. What else can you do? You can't close your eyes and refuse to admit it.

Yang Feng continued: "We scholars cannot just sit at home and study, but also go out to see the world and see what my world looks like, otherwise they can only work behind closed doors and end up reading and becoming fools. The world today is no longer different from the past. In the distant Obarot, although the people there are still poor, they dare to take risks and fight. Dozens of them dare to ride a small boat, spend a few months or even a year, and travel through the vast sea to take risks and take risks,

Those Folang Ji people and the Dutch people bought porcelain and tea from our Ming Dynasty. After returning to their hometown, they sold them ten times or dozens of times the profit. Then they sold spices, glass or clocks from their hometowns to sell them. They built one powerful country after another with this adventurous spirit. On the other hand, we hold the Four Books and Five Classics all day long and believe in half of the Analects of Confucius to rule the world. Even if such people pass the Jinshi and become officials, they are just a confused official. Don’t be dissatisfied."

Seeing the disapproving look in the eyes of many people around, Yang Feng said to Feng Youlun: "Your Madam Feng, now you have the reputation of being a juren. According to the rules of our court, you have the qualifications to be an official. Then I ask you, if the court has given you a magistrate at this moment, and your county has suffered a disaster this year, the county's grain harvest is less than half of that of previous years. How should you, as a parent in the whole place, deal with it?"

When everyone in the hall was stunned when he heard Yang Feng say this, Yang Feng asked this question very realistically. Some friends or scholars who were about the same age as Feng Youlun couldn't help but start thinking about what they should do if they changed themselves.

Feng Youlun did not expect Yang Feng to suddenly attack him. He hesitated for a while before saying, "If this is the case, the student will write to the court to request the court to reduce taxes, and... and ask the court to allocate food for disaster relief to allow the people to overcome the famine."

"Hahaha……"

Yang Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He laughed so loudly, making Feng Youlun blush and even became angry.

He said angrily: "Mr. Yang, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with the student?"

"No... you're right." Yang Feng stopped laughing and waved his hand: "But Ruozhen what you said, when you encounter a famine, you only know how to reach out to the court to ask for tax reduction and exemption, and ask the court to allocate food for disaster relief, and do nothing else. This official is too easy to be a juren, let alone a juren and a Jinshi, even we martial artists who only know how to dance swords and guns can be a magistrate. What's the point of waiting for ten years to study hard?"

"this……"

Feng Youlun was a little stunned. He looked around and found that some of his friends and young people also showed a look of confusion in their eyes. Yes, if you are so easy to be an official, why do you still study so many books? As long as you have been studying in a private school for two years, you can be competent.

Zheng Tuoniang, sitting in a corner of the hall, looked at Yang Feng, who was standing in front of the map, with her small mouth open and her eyes showed a strange look. When she heard Yang Feng teasing Feng Youlun and other scholars, her big eyes were even more smiling and turning into two curved full moons.

When Feng Youlun couldn't see the answer from his friend's face, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to his father. This time, Feng Youlun found that his own son had a thoughtful look on his face.

In fact, when Yang Feng's question was raised, even Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou and other officials of Zhenjiang Prefecture were stunned, because the proposition raised by Yang Feng was too big. Not to mention Feng Youlun, even if they asked themselves, they could not answer this question well.

Everyone in the hall was silent, and a crisp sound rang out.

"Mr. Yang, what if the government does not ask the court for tax reduction and exemption of taxes to allocate disaster relief food? As far as I know, the government has always done this!"

Yang Feng turned his head and looked at the direction of the sound, sighed, "Well, Zheng, you are asking well, this is the problem. Our Ming officials have always been to be officials. Before becoming officials, everyone studied hard all day long with their sub-games, and only had their spare time after passing the imperial examination. However, after being sent to the local government by the court, they found that the books they read on weekdays were of no help in governing the local government. Those officials who were not diligent in four bodies and without distinction did not know how to govern the local government after taking office, so many officials were so slapped by the officials below. This is a major drawback in the officialdom today."

Hearing this, many officials showed emotion on their faces. Most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty only realized that the Four Books and Five Classics they had read before did not help at all in managing the local area. They also had to learn from the beginning, learning how to collect taxes and how to persuade farmers and farmers to deal with officials below. If one is not good, it will be overshadowed by the people below.
