Chapter 108 The transformation of the county magistrate
Not to mention Su Qian being strange, Xu Qing was also confused!
In the past, Magistrate Su always felt that he would plot something against Su Qian, and he was so nervous that he wished he could stay with him when he slept.
Are you leaving so happily tonight?
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said, "Maybe there is something unfinished in the yamen."
Su Qian nodded when she heard Xu Qing's words and sighed: "Since he offended the Xu family, my father is much more cautious and more tiring than before."
Xu Qing said: "It's not an option to live under the threat of the Xu family all the time. When we make enough money in the future, we might as well change our lives. Then the sky is high and the road is far away and the Xu family can't do anything to us."
Su Qian shook her head after hearing Xu Qing's words and said: "Even if you and I are willing, my father is afraid that he is not willing. I am afraid that he will not give up just now after ten years of hard work in exchange for the county magistrate."
Prince Xian's Mansion
between meals
After Xiao Ruxue finished eating the food in the bowl, she looked at the Xian Wang and said: "Father, father!"
The Xian Wang raised his head and looked at Xiao Ruxue and asked, "What's wrong? Xue'er?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Can you ask the court to issue a law?"
After hearing Xiao Ruxue's words, the wise king suddenly became serious and said: "The law is the foundation of a country, you can't mess with it!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Then if the law is not perfect, if suffering cannot be complained, and if grievances cannot be redressed, then should we let it continue to develop?"
King Xian heard Xiao Ruxue's words and asked curiously: "Who taught you these words?"
As a father, he knew about his daughter's educational level. Although he said that since he had a bookstore, his daughter had become a lot more diligent and her homework efficiency had improved a lot, but she was not yet able to say such a thing.
Xiao Ruxue said: "Xu Qing taught me this!"
When King Xian heard that it was Xu Qing, he laughed and said, "It turns out to be Xu Qing. What does that kid have in mind?"
Who would have thought that at this time Xiao Ruxue pouted and said: "Father is partial! Father is partial!"
The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue and asked curiously: "Where is my father being partial? My father loves you the most at ordinary times. How can you say that my father is partial?"
Xiao Ye, who was cooking rice at the side, couldn't help but nodded: "That's right."
He has experienced the partiality of the wise king. It is not partiality, but his heart is directly attached to Xiao Ruxue!
Princess Xian smiled at the side and said nothing. She was used to watching this scene quietly and naturally.
Xiao Ruxue pouted and said: "What I told you is just nonsense. What Xu Qing said is just an idea. Am I your daughter or is he your daughter..."
The wise king was also happy when he heard this. It turned out that just because of such a sentence, his daughter was really jealous of anything.
The wise king smiled and said: "Okay, okay, my most precious daughter is naturally Xue'er."
Xiao Ruxue's pouted lips showed a smile when she heard these words, and continued: "Today, someone published our book without our permission! But they did not break the law, but Xu Qing and I broke the law when we went to argue with him.
Isn’t it too unfair to us if the law has been violated? Those words were clearly written by Xu Qing, so why should someone else publish them?! Isn’t this too unfair to us?!”
The wise king also began to think deeply after hearing these words. It is undeniable that what his daughter said does make some sense, but is it too childish to add a law based on such a trivial matter?
Xiao Ruxue looked at the unmoved look of the wise king and continued: "If the nearby bookstore prints other people's works at will, who will write a book? The master also taught his daughter and Xiao Ye a lesson the other day, what he said is Although the "Commentary on the Analects of Confucius" written by Zhao Xiu was written by him, other bookstores rushed to publish it without permission. Because Zhao Xiu spent several years writing the book, it also cost his family money, and he ended up in poverty. , if everyone is like this, will anyone still comment on the classics passed down by the sages?"
If this incident had occurred in a mere one, the wise king would not have had the intention to add a law at will, but once it came to the way of sages, the wise king could not help but be careless.
The imperial examination is an important part of the country! It is an examination for selecting talents for the imperial court! It examines the way of sages.
The great Confucian annotated the classics of the sages, but he himself did not get any wealth. On the contrary, the bookstore next to him made a lot of money. In the long run, who will write books and commentaries on the classics? Inherit the sages?
The wise king said seriously: "Xue'er is right!"
Then he glared at Xiao Ye: "You traitor, you should learn from it! Now Xue'er can detect the omissions in the law in time, but you are doing nothing day after day, don't you feel ashamed?!"
Xiao Ye muttered: "Didn't Brother Xu discover this omission?"
"How dare you talk back, you rebellious person?! Are you asking for punishment?!"
Xiao Ye: "..."
The Xian Wang looked at the silent Xiao Ye and said, "Why don't you speak anymore?! Are you ashamed or mute?!"
Xiao Ye's eyes widened: "Didn't you tell me not to tell you?"
"You talk back again! Go back to your room and let me think about it in front of the wall!"
"..."
Walking out of the dining hall, Xiao Ye's eyes were filled with resentment. It was wrong to speak or not to speak. The palace could not stay any longer! He, the crown prince, really had no status in the palace!
Xiao Ye made up his mind, and when he had saved enough money, he invited Brother Xu to become a knight-errant and realize their common ideal.
This prince, it’s not appropriate!
In the dining hall
The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue and said: "Xue'er, the law is a serious matter and cannot be touched or changed lightly. Moreover, the court officials have never made laws because of the act of writing books. Since This matter was brought up by Xu Qing. You can ask Xu Qing tomorrow and ask him to sort out a few relevant directions first so that the court officials can formulate them according to this charter."
King Xian had no choice. When it came to book regulations, Xu Qing, who had published the most books, probably had some experience. Of course, King Xian had no intention of writing any legal provisions, which was too difficult for the two of them.
The wise king just asked him to put forward a few ideas first, and then handed them over to the court to brainstorm and supplement and improve them at the court meeting. This could also improve efficiency and was a good choice.
next day
After learning that printing books was not illegal, the shopkeeper of the Liu family became even more unscrupulous. Now that Su County magistrate protected Qingxue's study, he did not dare not supply himself with paper, so he began to publish a large number of scripts privately, especially Qingxue. Storybook of Snow Study House.
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore is not only not afraid of the revenge of Qingxue Bookstore, he even has some expectations. It would be better to destroy half of his store in anger and injure two clerks. At this moment, he is a person who knows the provisions of the law. This time I have to let Qingxue Study House compensate for my losses!
Let Qingxue Study Studio's revenge be more violent!
