"Sure enough, sir, you are very thoughtful." Wang Yuanji agreed with a smile.
Han Du became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, dancing and dancing, "First suppress them with force. The natives who dare to rebel must die! Kill him until his head is rolling, and his blood will flow like a river, and then he will be comforted. Only by beating and pulling in this way can the Governor's Mansion be restored."
Let’s settle down for a long time.”
"By the way, what happened to the riot in the Governor's Mansion this time?" At this point, Han Du asked subconsciously.
"The reason was that the governor levied excessive taxes on the local area in order to make money, and forced the natives to mine copper mines desperately, which resulted in the death of many natives and caused the natives to resist." Wang Yuanji briefly explained the cause to Han Du.
When Han Du heard this, he sneered at the governor's behavior and cursed, "These officials who came from the Imperial Academy, don't talk about the breeze all day long. But as long as there is an opportunity to make money, they are more ruthless than anyone else."
, they can do anything no matter how vicious it is."
Wang Yuanji also had a puzzled look when he heard what his teacher said. He asked in confusion, "Sir, what you said makes sense, and the students are also very surprised. Most of the corrupt officials who have been dealt with in recent years were from the Imperial College, but they were from the academy."
There are very few. Why is this?"
Han Du smiled, glanced at Wang Yuanji indifferently, and asked, "Isn't it you, the chief minister of the cabinet, who is protecting them?"
"No, no!" Wang Yuanji waved his hands quickly and explained quickly, "It's not that the students are covering them up, but that they really haven't taken bribes. The students even paid special attention to the situation of their classmates and found no corruption.
signs.”
As he said this, Wang Yuanji looked up at Han Du with a puzzled face and asked, "The students are also very curious about this. Sir, do you know why?"
Han Du smiled slightly, paused for a moment and asked Wang Yuanji, "If you resign and become an ordinary citizen now, what would you most want to do?" ??
Wang Yuanji was stunned, he didn't expect that his husband would ask him like this.
Suddenly, Wang Yuanji laughed and sighed, "To be honest, sir, the student has really thought about it. When the student resigns one day, he most wants to go overseas and see how big the world is."
"Unfortunately, the student mentioned it to the emperor several times, but the emperor rejected it. To be honest, the student doesn't know if he can wait until the day of resignation. Even if he waits, the student doesn't know if there is still a chance to go to sea."
Wang Yuanji looked out the window and sighed heavily.
Han Du glanced at Wang Yuanji, paused and said, "In addition to the emperor not allowing you to resign, I'm afraid you also want to use your current position to protect the officials who live in the academy."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanji nodded helplessly and admitted this.
Han Du shook his head and said, "In fact, you don't need to worry too much. You have protected them for so many years and have done your best. What's more, this is not your responsibility."
"Sir, you were once" Wang Yuanji said immediately.
Han Du waved his hand slightly to interrupt Wang Yuanji and said, "I asked you to protect them once because they were just starting out and had not adapted to the officialdom. But after so many years, they have already adapted. Those who have not adapted can only be
They are not fit to stay here."
"Just do whatever you want. Don't have too many scruples. What's more, the young eagle always has to rely on itself.
Only by yourself can you spread your wings and fly high, you cannot protect them all your life!"
"Students understand." Wang Yuanji nodded with a smile. It could be seen that his smile came from the heart and was very cheerful.
Han Du looked at Wang Yuanji's relieved smile and felt more and more satisfied with this student. Just because of his words, Wang Yuanji has been carrying this burden for more than ten years without ever complaining, which is very commendable!
Back to the topic.
Han Du continued to ask, "Since you want to go overseas after resigning, but you have no salary after resigning, where will you get the money? Whether you go overseas or live in normal life, it is necessary
Money."
"Isn't this simple?" Wang Yuanji laughed and said, "Students have been working as first assistants for so many years, and they still have some savings. And students don't have any big expenses, so saving a little is enough."
"What's more, sir, are you looking down on your students too much?"
"Why did I underestimate you?" Han Du smiled faintly.
Wang Yuanji smiled slightly, straightened his back and said, "No matter what, students come from colleges. Even if they are not officials, it is not easy to make money. If nothing else, just buy some securities at the stock exchange.
You can eat it for a lifetime!"
"Bah, bang, bang!" Han Du smiled, clapped his hands, and said meaningfully, "That's the reason!"
"What's the reason?" Wang Yuanji was stunned, not understanding what the gentleman meant.
Han Du then explained to him, "People who come out of the academy, I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to making money, they are never weaker than others."
Wang Yuanji nodded slightly, it was true. From the first day they stepped onto the threshold of the academy, the academy told them that whatever they wanted, they had to work hard to get it themselves.
And there are no restrictions on their methods. As long as they don't steal without knowing it, they can cheat and kidnap. Moreover, the students in the academy have a broad vision, and all kinds of novel ideas are constantly colliding in the academy. The students in the academy dare to think about things that no one dared to think about before;
Academy students dare to do things that no one dared to do before.
Dare to think and dare to do it! Are you still worried about not getting money?
"So in fact, most college students don't pay too much attention to money." Han Du smiled at Wang Yuanji and continued, "Just like you, no matter what situation you encounter, you can find a way to make money.
I won’t worry about my future life at all.”
Wang Yuanji nodded repeatedly as he listened. He had such confidence.
"But the people in the Imperial College are different." Han Du changed the topic and said, "Look at them, apart from being able to read the Four Books and Five Classics, they can't carry their shoulders or lift their hands. How many of them can't even take care of themselves. They must
There are servants to take care of them. If there are no servants to take care of them, they can only starve to death while guarding the rice vat."
"Such people will naturally regard official position as everything to them. They have read so many Four Books and Five Classics, and the only thing they can get is this official position. Without official position, they have no value at all."
"But who can say clearly what things will be like in the future? What if they are laid off in a few years? How will they be able to survive at that time?"
Following Han Du's words, Wang Yuanji gradually understood why the officials of the Imperial College were keen on corruption.
