Chapter 1330: Fewer Honest Officials, More Corrupt Officials

After hearing what Zhang Shi said, Shen Ging was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

As a high-ranking official in the imperial court, there are many things going on here, and many things are in his position and can be known.

Song Ting was in power for a year, how many people will die in the world, how many people died of natural diseases or died of life, but the number of people who died because of various man-made disasters is indeed not a small number.

Every year there are famines in places, floods and droughts occur in places every year, these senior officials just want to have a happy birthday, but they can't get it, and they are very sad to have a happy birthday.

At first, he was still shocked by the number of dead people, thinking that this was a huge disaster, but as time passed, he seemed to become numb, and he felt that there were only so many people dead, it was no big deal, it was normal.

Are you numb?

Or don't care at all?

Shen Gai couldn't tell the difference.

So Zhang Shi shook his head.

"Haven't counted? Mr. Gong, let me do the math for you. Based on the data released by the Revival Association, the number of high-class people killed through public trials and other methods during the revolution is about 11. Back and forth It was this number that killed them in total.

And what about scholar-bureaucrats?Mr. Xianggong, in the floods caused by the Sanyihui River, which one killed less than 11 people?Every year, natural disasters often bring a large number of deaths, and how many of these deaths are caused by man-made disasters?
Not to mention anything else, the snowstorm the year before last, the imperial court ordered officials from all over the country to open warehouses for disaster relief. They were worried that there would be insufficient food in the local area, so they specially allocated food. What did the officials from all over the country do in the end?They sold the disaster relief food for money, and watched the people starve to death. As a result, a little statistics show that at least 20 people died of starvation in two months in the three roads to the southeast. "

Shen Gai was silent for a long time.

"People are born to die. This is fate. There is no escape, but sooner or later."

"If that's the case, the Ming Kingdom is right."

"…………"

Shen Gai looked at Zhang Shi rather angrily, pointed at him and shouted in a low voice, "Can the foolish people be compared with the scholar-official?

"Scholar-bureaucrats are just stupid people who have read books."

Zhang Shi slapped back without hesitation, making Shen Ging even more annoyed.

"Jingfu, let me tell you bluntly, without those ignorant people who suffer and suffer, where would high officials and riches come from? If there were no ignorant people to eat bran and vegetables, where would the big fish and meat come from for you? The world is so big, and the output is So much, if you let them eat a little more, you will eat a lot less!"

"So you know it very well."

Zhang Shi looked at Shen Gai up and down, and smiled: "I thought Xianggong would go around in circles with me and not tell the truth until the end. Since Xianggong is clear, can you just say no? Let's just say that the scholars in Hangzhou city just want to tell the truth. Being a high-ranking fish and fleshy people, there is no ideal of great harmony in the world, isn't it enough?"

"There is a fart in the world!"

As if completely provoked, Shen Kai overturned the dining table in front of him at once, ignoring the guards who rushed to draw their swords and pointed at him, pointed at Zhang Shi and shouted angrily: "Early after Wang Mang died, the whole world would be a mess. Datong is dead! There is no Datong in the world!

What is the purpose of studying hard in the cold window?What is Hao Shou Poor Sutra for?What is the purpose of wasting half your life taking the imperial examinations! ?Jingfu, you are not from the imperial examinations, you have a good father who can give you a good reputation!You can be an official without the imperial examination, but this is you!

do you know?Most people don't have your condition. They can only try their best to take the imperial examination. They have no other way out except to take the imperial examination!Soldier?Are you in business?Or do something else?There is no way out! "

Zhang Shi was also outraged.

Standing up all of a sudden, Zhang Shi pointed at Shen Gai and shouted angrily: "So what? Can you fish the common people? Is ten years of hard study for the imperial examination just for the sake of the common people? Are there only male thieves and female prostitutes left?!"

"Otherwise? For what? Begging for the life of the people, and then being relegated to the ends of the earth? Then died of miasma? Dead of mosquitoes? Died of poverty? A stupid woman? Hahahahahaha!"

Shen Gai laughed a little crazy and said, "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard, second only to Datong in the world, Zhang Jingfu, let me tell you, you have never suffered from the imperial examination. , if you have suffered, you will not think so.

Thinking about asking for life for the people, thinking about the great harmony of the world, and then being hit head on, you should know whether your ten years of cold window are worth cherishing, or whether it is more important to ask for life for the people. Haven't experienced it, so you don't understand.

I'm not arguing with you, you kill me, I have bowed my head to the Ming Kingdom for three years for power and other things, but I got nothing, this is the end, I know what my end is like, I He will never yield to Su Yonglin. "

Zhang Shi looked at Shen Kai's resolute expression, like a fighter who was generous to his death.

But what kind of bullshit fighter is he?

A fighter who defends the freedom of the imperial officials to exploit the common people?
Pooh!
Zhang Shi shook his head.

"So, what the chairman said is right, it's not just the criminals who are guilty, but the whole evil system, the system that was born only for oppression and exploitation, and it's not just the common people who are oppressed, but It's everyone."

Shen Gai was stunned.

"what are you saying?"

"I'm talking about this system, this system in which the imperial examinations serve as officials for the emperor, everyone is a victim, the common people have no status, and they are brutally exploited. Just a speck of dust in this vast bureaucracy.

It’s not easy to join forces, let alone go upstream and stick to one’s original intentions?You still need a certain status and power to join forces, otherwise you are also worthy?Not to mention sticking to the original heart and going against the current, that is the only one in a hundred people, most people just follow the trend.

Therefore, in the past dynasties, there were many corrupt officials, few honest officials, and even fewer honest officials that can be remembered, because this system has not allowed such people to exist from the beginning. If such people exist, it will be a thorn in everyone's eyes. The thorn in the flesh must be removed and then quickly. "

Zhang Shi let out a long sigh, bent down and picked up a bun that fell on the ground, tore off the dirty part, and took a bite.

"I corresponded with the chairman and asked him why there are so few good people and many bad people in Hangzhou, why there are few honest officials and more corrupt officials, he said that it is a miracle that there are still good people in Hangzhou. There should be all evil people, but now there are still one or two good people. , is God's mercy.

Did I say that people like me are God's mercy?He said that my existence is a miracle, so he cherished me very much, cared about me very much, and asked me to protect my original heart, not to waver, not to fall.

You said that I am not from the imperial examination. The chairman also mentioned it. He said that this is indeed one of the reasons why I have never fallen, and this highlights the sin of the imperial examination even more. the truth?
Since such a thing has happened, it means that this system, the system that constitutes the Song Kingdom, is fundamentally wrong and extremely sinful, so the chairman decided to overthrow this system and create a new system. "

Shen Kai seemed to have come back to it, and seemed to understand what Zhang Shi meant.

But he didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to accept it.

"So, what can Su Yonglin do? Being an official is not for himself, but for the people. Will there be a good result? Will there be a good end? Will he not be suppressed again and again? Can he stand out?"

--------

PS: I remember that after the college entrance examination, I immediately made an appointment with a group of classmates to sing KTV and started a carnival trip. At that time, I felt that the world could no longer limit me, and I was extremely excited.

But at that time, I didn't have the actual feeling of graduation, until I saw a few female classmates go home quickly and put on makeup and changed their clothes. The shock of seeing them wearing school uniforms suddenly after seeing them wearing school uniforms made me feel Really realized that I graduated.

At that time, everyone looked forward to growing up and getting rid of the shackles of their parents, but after so many years, I still miss the days when I was still in class.

In a blink of an eye, ten years, old age~~~
