Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 847, unable to move an inch

"It's unreasonable~ It's unreasonable!"

When Wang Jia heard this, he immediately became even angrier. He was already on fire just now, but now he didn't expect such a thing to happen in his own house.

The servant left, and the money couldn't buy anything. Did he become a public enemy of the world?

"I don't believe it anymore. There is no reason to be reasonable in this world. He, Liu Jin, can cover the sky with one hand."

Wang Jia was furious, and felt that Liu Jin had people targeting him for all this.

The firm I invested in wanted to withdraw my shares, the factories built by my family and the sea-going ships I owned were also targeted, and my servants all left my house.

He's not dead yet, and he just lost his official position. This Liu Jin is going to kill him.

"Get me a car, I'm going to visit Mr. Liu Ge."

Wang Ji was furious, and was going to talk to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang about what happened to him. He wanted to contact all parties to fight back against Liu Jin and let him know how powerful he was.

"My lord, the coachman has gone home."

Wang Xuan looked at Wang Jia and said helplessly.

"Which one of you can drive, go and drive out right now."

Wang Jia was taken aback for a moment, then said coldly, and the man walked outside.

Sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, Wang Jia was still furious, and habitually picked up the newspaper on the carriage and read it.

Today's Daming Morning Post described this matter in extremely sharp terms on the most prominent front page.

This is depriving the children of ordinary families of the right to education!
Daming Morning Post described in detail the purpose and original intention of Liu Jin's new-style school. Liu Jin ran the school not for himself, but to enable more poor children to go to school to read and read, learn some useful knowledge, and know Some basic principles of being a person and doing things are also the thoughts and values ​​of cultivating loyalty and patriotism.

Liu Jin does not enjoy his money when he is rich, but runs a school generously and makes a wish, hoping that one day every child can go to school to read and write.

Such a good deed is now being criticized by people, who believe that the new school run by Liu Jin is harming the country and the people and shaking the country. This is the biggest insult and attack on Liu Jin for no reason.

The Daming Morning Post pointed out even more sharply that the sour and stinky Confucians represented by Wang Jia want to monopolize knowledge and education, and want to 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 not affordable for children from ordinary families. Only a well-off family can support a child to study.

For ordinary family children, the best way to get ahead is to study. Only by studying can one change one's destiny.

Liu Jin asks for his own pocket every year, and spends millions of taels of money to run schools, free education, and lunch. This is for the children of countless poor families to have a chance to stand up and make a difference.

Moreover, their requirements are very simple, and they do not compete with you for the places in the imperial examinations. They are just for reading and writing, acquiring knowledge, and being able to have a skill when they grow up, to be able to get a good job, and to live a prosperous life.

It's that simple.

But such a simple thing, such a great act of kindness, was criticized by Wang Jia as useless, and it even rose to the point of disastrous to the country and the people, shaking the country and the country
……

"A bunch of nonsense~"

Wang Jia looked at the Ming Morning Post, and the more he read it, the more angry he became, and he tore the newspaper into pieces.

I didn't say that children from ordinary families should not be allowed to study, and I didn't say that they should not be allowed to 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.

Of course Wang Jia didn't understand, he was born in a scholarly family, and his father was a county magistrate, needless to say his family background, there is no problem in supporting him to study.

He simply doesn't understand how difficult it is for a child from a poor family to study. The amount of money that needs to be paid to go to a private school, and the tribute to the teacher during the holidays are still small, but any one of them is enough to crush an ordinary family. .

What's more, the books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc. needed for studying, and to take exams for studying, and each exam costs a lot, making friends, classmates, honoring seniors, etc., where do you not spend money?Can the cost of that place be cheaper?

When it is a problem for ordinary people to eat throughout the year, there is simply no extra money and food to provide for their children to study.

Even now, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the income of ordinary people has increased and prices have become cheaper. Many people can provide for their children to study, but it is a bottomless pit for a child to study and take the imperial examination. No amount of money is enough to spend.

The key is that the operation of the Ming court is slow, and the population of the capital is rapidly expanding, but the number of schools and private schools has not increased accordingly.

Only Liu Jin has been building schools and recruiting students all the time, which is still free of money, so that children from many families can have books to read.

Of course he, Wang Jia, doesn't understand, just like the ministers who are high in the temple in this era, how can they understand the sufferings of the people.

Just like the children of rich families in later generations think that being poor should mean having a house, a car worth [-] to [-] yuan, and a deposit of several million yuan.

Little do they know that what they consider to be a poor person is already an unattainable goal for ordinary people.

The ministers above the court naturally don't understand the poverty of the common people, and they don't understand how hard it is for ordinary families to provide their children with education.

So Wang Jia felt that the newspaper was talking nonsense.

Soon, the carriage in which Wang Ji was riding arrived at Liu Jian's residence, but Liu Jian was not at home and had not yet gone to court, so he should have been left by Emperor Hongzhi to discuss state affairs.

There was no other way, and Wang Jia had no choice but to go back home. Halfway there, he saw a restaurant——Yuhualou.

"Parking~"

Wang Jia wants to go to Yuhualou to try the mutton hot pot in Yuhualou.

He used to come here often. In his opinion, the mutton hot pot in Yuhualou is the best and most authentic in the whole capital. He selects the most tender fat lamb of the year, cuts it into thin slices, rinses it lightly for a few seconds, and then dips it in Serve the sauce, taste the ultimate deliciousness, and the taste will make you linger.

"Come to a private room~"

Walking into Yuhua Building habitually, the butler Wang Xuan said to the shopkeeper.

"Good~"

Shopkeeper Zhang only finished half of his good words, and soon saw that it was Wang Jia, and recognized him immediately.

They are all regular customers, so how can they not know about this official minister Wang Jiawang.

"I'm sorry, guest officer, all the private rooms in our Yuhua Building are full today~"

Shopkeeper Zhang changed the subject and said.

"Then just find a table."

Wang Jia thought for a while and said, "Everyone is here. If there is no private room, there is no private room. Anyway, the servants at home have left a lot, and there is no food to eat."

"I'm sorry, this table is also reserved, so I really can't entertain you."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled again and said.

"You think we are blind, you have empty tables everywhere, and you actually said that they are all booked, you don't want to do business anymore?"

When Wang Xuan heard this, he immediately became angry, grabbed the shopkeeper Zhang and said.

"Oh, how dare I do your business."

"You are all high and mighty gods, you all 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 children are studying in the new-style school run by Liu Jin, and he thinks that the kids from the new-style school are very good. His son is doing very well. He is not only good at arithmetic, but also sensible and knows a lot.

Now this Wang Jia is going to say that these schools will be closed, just as the Daming Morning Post said, this is to make ordinary people like them unable to turn over, forever, forever, and generation after generation, so that they will be stupid. Human beings have been ruled and managed from generation to generation.

"go!"

Wang Jia finally heard it, and immediately left Yuhualou with a gloomy face, and staying any longer would be boring for himself.

"Bah~"

"What, the school run by Mr. Liu doesn't need money, and it's all about imparting useful knowledge. You say it's a disaster for the country and the people, and shakes the community."

"Hey, old man, why don't you die sooner."

Seeing Wang Jia and Wang Xuan walking outside, shopkeeper Zhang spat at the backs of the two of them, speaking very loudly, making it clear that he was speaking for Wang Jia.

"you~"

Wang Xuan was furious. His lord, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, should be insulted by you, a common man. How can he bear this tone? Rolling up his sleeves, he wants to repair the shopkeeper.

"Come on, come on~"

"You are afraid of you~"

"Everyone come and see, all come and see."

"This person is Wang Jia, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who said that he wants to close the school, prevent us children from ordinary families from studying, make us foolish people for generations, and cut off our hope."

"I just said a few words to him, and now he wants to hit someone."

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at it, but he didn't have the slightest fear. He opened his throat and started shouting. Immediately, everyone around gathered around and looked at Wang Jia and Wang Xuan in unison.

"He is Wang Jia~"

"It turns out that he said that he wanted to close the school and cut off the hopes of our ordinary family children?"

"Yes, that's him. He said that the new-style schools are a disaster for the country and the people, and shake the country and the country. They run schools well, teach people to read and write well, but because they don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, they will close these schools."

"There are so many schools, tens of thousands of children want to study, and he will destroy them all with one mouthful. It's really abhorrent!"

"It turns out that you are Wang Jia. If my son can't go to school or have a good job, I'll throw you all stinky shit!"

When the shrew heard this, she couldn't help pointing at Wang Jia and said.

"Yes, if our child can't read, he won't have a good time."

As soon as the others heard it, they immediately started shouting.

As for Wang Jia, looking at the angry crowd, he was completely frightened.
