Chapter 351 Since ancient times, who wants to give up on fame and wealth? They have always been wrong!
Hanlin Academy.
Xia Zhibai has gone back.
Zhu Biao's episode had little impact on him.
Now we have just barely made a start, and it will take a long time for it to really come to fruition.
However, his proposal did solve the problem of alien law.
A country cannot have two 'laws' that must be obeyed at the same time. This will not make the world a better place, but will only breed corruption. Moreover, some of the punishments in "The Great Edict" are too bloody and cruel, and they are not very good in themselves. Reasonable. Although this is related to the excessive corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty, punishment alone cannot solve the problem.
In the end, it still comes down to education and correction.
It is obvious that Ming Dynasty is completely lacking in this aspect.
From the imperial court to the local level, no one has this awareness. Regarding corruption, once it is provoked, it will be punished with thunder and violence. Punishment with violence is an attempt to use killings to scare the world away from committing the crime. However, the final result is exactly the opposite. Corrupt local officials had to be more cautious, and it became increasingly difficult for the court to supervise them.
To a certain extent, it also increased the burden on the court.
However, it is not that easy to establish a standardized and reasonable system in the world, especially from a 'ruin', it is even more difficult.
Nowadays, let alone court officials, even local people do not have this awareness. The court keeps preaching that people should be "loyal and filial", but behind the scenes, people are always keen on scolding officials. The two are strangers, you say? Yours, I scold mine.
Killing is more like a situation that all parties are willing to accept.
Xia Zhibai shook his head.
He withdrew his mind and didn't want to bother about it.
Let Zhu Biao worry about the establishment of political parties.
As for what it will eventually evolve into, Xia Zhibai is not sure. It may become the ultimate 'royalist party', or the ambiguous 'princeling party', or the 'imperialist party' under the imperial consciousness. , or something else.
This was not what Xia Zhibai could have expected.
This decision-making power rests in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands from beginning to end.
But Zhu Yuanzhang cannot decide everything. It is true that he is the emperor with great power, but it would be a bit fanciful to say that the emperor can do whatever he wants. The court has always been a battlefield for games, even if it is for thousands of years. The emperor is also not exempt from vulgarity.
The governance of the world relies on tens of thousands of officials.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang still uses these scholars and officials, he will have to make some concessions.
But if Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly "changes his mind" and decides to criticize and educate the world's system and some officials, he would still be very happy to see it. However, this situation becomes increasingly impossible as Zhu Yuanzhang reigns longer.
Xia Zhibai raised his head and looked out the white window, his mind a little wandering.
"Since ancient times, whoever wants to give up fame and wealth has always been wrong."
"Officials play life and death in the court, and merchants use strategies for silver."
"Farmers walk in the fields at five o'clock, and workers catch the traffic at four o'clock."
"The stage actor."
Xia Zhibai whispered softly, withdrew his gaze, and devoted himself to reading day after day. Only reading could keep his restless mind at a certain level of peace and calm. Now he also feels that his thoughts are getting more and more... Radical and increasingly restless.
This is not a good sign.
Be quiet when things happen.
Doing things requires more quietness.
In a corner of the Hanlin Academy, Liu Sanwu sat alone.
Now he is considered 'isolated' by the entire Hanlin Academy. Following Xia Zhibai's last meeting, he was directly kicked out by Xia Zhibai without any shame. Now he can only deal with some insignificant memorials, which makes his heart feel sad. The arrogant Liu Sanwu felt really aggrieved and uncomfortable. He went through troubled times and then came to be valued by Zhu Yuanzhang. This was the first time in so many years that he was so humiliated.
And it's unabashed.
He was Liu Sanwu, a celebrity who had long been famous all over the world. However, in the young eyes of Xia Zhibai, he was not as good as the students of the Imperial College. Xia Zhibai would rather use those Imperial College students than bow to him. Allow yourself to write a book again.
He originally thought that Xia Zhibai just wanted to scare him. After a few days, he would apologize to himself and then respectfully invite him back. But after so many days, Xia Zhibai seemed to have really forgotten him and simply I never thought about seeing him, let alone looking for him, not even looking at him.
It seemed as if he had been completely abandoned.
This sense of disparity made Liu Sanwu feel like he was struck by lightning, and he was depressed for several days.
He couldn't understand why Xia Zhibai didn't know how to 'respect teachers and respect morality' and respect someone as 'highly respected' as himself. After reading so many books, Xia Zhibai shouldn't not understand these basic etiquette, nor should he He didn't know how to deal with others, but the fact was that Xia Zhibai really didn't care.
In Xia Zhibai's eyes, he had no aura, only disobeying orders.
While Liu Sanwu was grinding his ink, he looked at the others absentmindedly. These people were talking very little at the moment. They were all immersed in sorting out various books, summarizing some experiences and conclusions, and then having a discussion, and then concentrating on discussing whether to Add these to various books.
He had made secret observations.
Under Xia Zhibai's deliberate guidance, even though he was not proficient in arithmetic, he gradually realized that Xia Zhibai seemed to have established a relatively complete system, and now he was just filling it with knowledge from various ancient books.
And once this 'Mathematics' is compiled, it will definitely become famous.
Xia Zhibai will become famous again because of this, but as a senior bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he did not even participate, let alone leave his name on it. This is an unacceptable thing for Liu Sanwu.
His pride didn't agree either.
I thought about it for a long time.
Liu Sanwu also calmed down.
Since Xia Zhibai refused to come to him, he would go to Xia Zhibai himself. He believed that if he opened his mouth, Xia Zhibai would definitely agree, because he had already given Xia Zhibai enough face, and also given Xia Zhibai enough face. White enough steps.
Think of this.
Liu Sanwu put down his pen, straightened his clothes carefully, and walked towards Xia Zhibai's position.
But before he could get close, a clerk called Liu Sanwu.
Liu Sanwu frowned and said dissatisfied: "What do you mean? I have something to see the bachelor."
There was a trace of struggle in the scribe's eyes, but he still shook his head and said: "Scholar Liu, the grand master has told me before not to disturb him easily when he is reading. Moreover, the grand master has also specifically told him that if it is Mr. Liu, you go to him." , will never be seen.”
"Without rules, there is no circle."
"You were the one who insisted on quitting before, Bachelor Liu, so you should do it simply and don't regret it later, otherwise it will only make people more shameful. If Bachelor Liu is looking for other things, Bachelor Xia would also prefer you to find Bachelor Fang Xiaoru."
Liu Sanwu's face turned dark when he heard the clerk's words.
He glared fiercely for a few times and snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I bow my head to Xia Zhibai? It's just that I have been feeling a little unwell recently and wanted to take a few days off to recuperate. I just wanted to inform him. Since he doesn’t appreciate it, I don’t bother to say anything.”
"Tell him this and let him take care of himself."
Say it.
Liu Sanwu waved his sleeves and left.
The scribe shook his head, not even reporting.
He is still very discerning. Liu Sanwu is the 'chicken' in 'Kill the chicken to scare the monkey'. Comparative?
