When Wang Hao heard this, he immediately became even more angry. He was already furious just now, but now he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to his own house.
When the servants leave and you can’t buy anything with money, have you become the public enemy of the world?
"I don't believe it anymore. There is no room for reason in this world. He Liu Jin can cover up the sky with one hand."
Wang Hao was furious, feeling that Liu Jin had made all this happen against him.
The business firm he invested in has to withdraw its shares, the factory built by his family, the ship owned by his family are also targeted, and his servants have all left his house. Is this like a tree falling and a wall falling?
He is not dead yet, he has only lost his official position. Liu Jin is going to kill him to death.
"Prepare a car for me, I'm going to visit Mr. Liu Ge."
Wang Hao was furious and was going to go to Liu Jian. Li Dongyang and the others would talk about their experiences. He wanted to contact all parties and fight back against Liu Jin hard to let him know how powerful he was.
"Sir, the coachman has gone home."
Wang Xuan looked at Wang Hao and said helplessly.
"Who of you knows how to drive? Go and drive out now."
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, and walked outside.
Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Wang Hao was still angry and habitually picked up the newspaper on the carriage and started reading.
Today's Mingming Morning Post used extremely sharp words to describe this incident on the most conspicuous front page.
This is depriving children from ordinary families of their right to education!
The Ming Dynasty Morning Post described in detail the purpose and original intention of Liu Jin's new school. Liu Jin did not run the school for himself, but to enable more poor children to go to school to read, learn some useful knowledge, and know
Some basic principles of life and work are also to cultivate the thoughts and values of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
When Liu Jin had money, he did not enjoy it for himself. Instead, he generously ran a school and made a wish that one day every child would be able to go to school to learn and read.
Such good deeds are now criticized by people, who believe that the new schools run by Liu Jin are harming the country and the people and shaking the country and the country. This is the biggest unprovoked insult and attack on Liu Jin.
The Ming Dynasty Morning Post even pointedly pointed out that the sour and rotten scholars represented by Wang Hao want to monopolize knowledge and education, and deprive children from ordinary families of the right to study and receive education.
Since ancient times, the cost of studying has been very high, which is simply beyond the reach of children from ordinary families. Only wealthy families can support a child to study.
For children from ordinary families, if they want to get ahead, the best way is to study. Only studying can change their destiny.
Liu Jin collects millions of taels of money from himself every year to run schools, provide free education, and provide lunch. This is so that countless children from poor families can have a chance to turn over and get ahead.
And their requirements are very simple. They are not competing with you for places in the imperial examinations. They are just to read, read, and acquire knowledge so that when they grow up, they can have skills, get a good job, and live a prosperous life.
It's that simple.
However, such a simple thing, such a great act of kindness, was criticized by Wang Hao as useless, and it even escalated to the point of causing harm to the country and the people, and shaking the country and the country.
…
"That's nonsense~"
Wang Hao looked at the Ming Dynasty Morning News, and the more he read, the more angry he became, and he tore the newspaper into pieces.
I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let children from ordinary families study, and I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let them take the imperial examination.
I just said that these new-style schools do not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but only focus on heresy. This is putting the cart before the horse and should be closed down and rectified. I did not say that they want to monopolize the power of knowledge and education.
Of course Wang Hao didn't understand. He came from a scholarly family, and his father was a county magistrate. Needless to say, his family background meant that there would be no problem in supporting his education.
He simply doesn’t understand how difficult it is for a child from a poor family to study. The tuition fees required to attend a private school and the filial piety paid to teachers during holidays are all small, but any one of them is enough to break the camel’s back for an ordinary family. .
What's more, the books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc. required for studying, as well as taking exams to study, and each exam costs a lot, making friends, classmates, paying homage to seniors, etc., etc., where do you not need to spend money? Which place can be cheaper?
When it is a problem for ordinary people to have food all year round, there is simply no extra money and food to support their children's education.
Even now, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, people's incomes have increased, prices have become cheaper, and many people can provide for their children to study. However, providing a child to study and take the imperial examination is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is enough.
The key is that the operation of the Ming Dynasty court was slow and the population of the capital expanded rapidly, but there was no corresponding increase in schools and private schools.
Only Liu Jin has been constantly building schools and recruiting students for free, so that children from many families can read.
Of course he, Wang Chao, doesn't understand, just as how can the ministers who hold high positions in the temples in this era understand the sufferings of the people.
Just like the children of wealthy families in later generations, they think that being poor means having a house, a car worth RMB 700,000 to RMB 800,000, and a deposit of RMB 1 million.
Little do they know that even though they think they are poor, they are already an unattainable goal for ordinary people.
Naturally, the ministers above the court do not understand the poverty of the common people and how difficult it is for ordinary families to provide for their children to study.
So Wang Hao felt that the newspaper was full of nonsense.
Soon, Wang Hao's carriage arrived at Liu Jian's house, but Liu Jian was not at home and had not yet gone to court. He must have been left by Emperor Hongzhi to discuss state affairs.
With no other choice, Wang Hao had no choice but to go back home. Halfway there, he saw a restaurant called Yuhualou.
"Stop~"
Wang Hao wants to go to Yuhualou to try the mutton hot pot.
He used to come here often. In his opinion, Yuhualou's mutton hot pot is the best and most authentic in the whole capital. He selects the tenderest lamb of the year, cuts it into thin slices, lightly rinses it for a few seconds, and then dips it in it. Add the sauce, taste the ultimate deliciousness, and the taste will make you forget to leave.
"Come to a private room~"
Walking into Yuhua Building out of habit, the butler Wang Xuan said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay~"
Shopkeeper Zhang was only halfway through his good words, but he soon saw that it was Wang Hao and recognized him immediately.
We are all old customers, how could we not know about this Lord Wang Chaowang, the Minister of Civil Service?
"I'm sorry, sir, all the private rooms in our Yuhua Building are full today~"
Shopkeeper Zhang changed the subject and said.
"Then just find a table."
Wang Hao thought for a moment and said, "We've come here. If we don't have a private room, we don't have a private room. Anyway, many servants have gone away and there is no food to eat."
"I'm sorry, this table is also reserved. I really can't entertain you."
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled again and said.
"You think we are blind. There are empty tables everywhere here, and you actually said that they are all booked. Do you not want to do business?"
When Wang Xuan heard this, he immediately became angry, grabbed shopkeeper Zhang and said.
"Oh, how dare I do your business?"
"You are all high-level gods who drink the wind and absorb the dew. Why do you need to eat like us ordinary people?"
Shopkeeper Zhang pushed Wang Xuan's hand away, and the sarcasm in his words was already obvious.
His shopkeeper Zhang's child studied in the new school run by Liu Jin, and he felt that the children handed over from the new school were very good. His son learned very well. He was not only good at arithmetic, but also sensible and knew a lot of things.
Now this Wang Hao actually wants to close these schools. As the Ming Dynasty Morning Post said, this is to make ordinary people like them unable to stand up. They will be illiterate for generations. Only in this way will they be stupid and be fooled by them.
Man rules and governs from generation to generation.
"Walk!"
Wang Hao finally heard it, and immediately left Yuhua Tower with a gloomy face. If he stayed any longer, he would be asking for trouble.
"Bah~"
"What the hell, Mr. Liu runs a school that doesn't cost money and teaches useful knowledge. Yet you say it's causing harm to the country and the people and shaking up the country."
"Bah, old man, why don't you die early?"
Watching Wang Hao and Wang Xuan walking outside, shopkeeper Zhang spat at their backs in a loud voice, making it clear that he was talking to Wang Hao.
"You~"
Wang Xuan was angry. He, a dignified official, should be insulted by a common man like you. How could he bear this tone? He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fix this shopkeeper.
"Come on, come on~"
"Are you afraid of you~"
"Everyone, come and have a look. Come and have a look."
"This person is Wang Kuo, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He said he wanted to close the school so that children from ordinary families like us would not be able to study. He wanted to make us stupid people from generation to generation and cut off our hopes."
"I just said a few words to him, and now he wants to hit someone."
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at it, but he was not afraid at all. He started shouting at the top of his voice. Suddenly, everyone around him gathered around and looked at Wang Hao and Wang Xuan.
"He is Wang Suo~"
"So it turned out that he was the one who said he wanted to close the school and cut off the hopes of ordinary children from our families?"
"Yes, that's him. He said that new-style schools are harming the country and the people, shaking the country and the country. These schools are running properly and teaching people to read and write. Just because they don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, they want to close these schools."
"Why are there so many schools and thousands of children who want to study? He will destroy them all just by opening his mouth. It is really abominable!"
"So you are Wang Hao. If my son can't go to school or have a good job, I'll have to throw stinky feces all over you!"
When a shrew heard this, she couldn't help but pointed at Wang Hao and said.
"Yes, if our child can't study, he won't be able to live well."
When other people heard this, they immediately started shouting.
As for Wang Hao, he was completely frightened when he saw the angry crowd.
