Xie Jin didn't go to the Academy today. After breakfast, he came to find Fang Xing. They paced outside together.

"Everbright suddenly left, which makes people sigh!"

Xie Jin is one year older than Hu Guang. They can write a book about what happened between them, from brothers to colleagues to no contact.

Fang Xing didn't say anything. Although Hu Guang's position was different from his, he didn't do it. This is very rare.

"Before he left, I looked at him. He was very thin, but his eyes were bright and wide. I also talked about you."

Xie Jin seemed a little sad: "he said you were redundant. Without you, there would not be so many twists and turns in the court. Without you, his highness TAISUN would not change, which made him feel strange..."

"Is that a compliment?"

Fang Xing shook his head slightly: "in my eyes, Daming shouldn't be invariable. Running water doesn't rot. if it doesn't change, it will stink, and then it will become the holy land for those who chase away the stink."

Xie Jin sighed: "he also said that at this time of the Ming Dynasty, there were frequent wars with foreign countries, businessmen gradually came out, and people's hearts were not ancient. After a hundred years, there must be a cross flow of material desires, no morality, and full reading of poetry and books is no longer something people yearn for..."

Fang woke up and said, "yes, if it goes on like this, it will really become like this in a hundred years. Material desires will flow and morality will decline. If it is not regulated by law, this Daming will become like the herd. Chiguoguo's interests are first, and someone will shout at last."

Xie Jin puzzled and said, "since you can see it, why support it?"

Fang Xing nodded slightly at several farmers who were dredging the ditch, and then said, "if you don't support or act, what's the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the former Song Dynasty? The thing of hiding from the doctor has come several times in the former Song Dynasty. Those reform factions finally stepped down, and then the former Song Dynasty began to sink."

"What is the original intention of the reform school? Are there people with ulterior motives? Are the following officials effective? We don't argue about these, but they ignore one point, that is, if any reform does not take improving the people's life as the benchmark, it will eventually be unpopular and will inevitably fail!"

Fang Xing's eyebrows wrinkled slightly and stood with his hands down. He looked a little dignified.

"To improve people's lives, the first is to increase their income. The second is to provide opportunities for choice and provide them with channels to rise. This is the fundamental."

When the upward channel is cut off, this Daming is abnormal!

At present, the only channel is the imperial examination!

Zhang Juzheng's reform seemed to strengthen the Ming Dynasty, but when the imperial power did not go down to the county, he offended the "ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty" squires and officials at all levels.

You Zhang Juzheng forced you to clear more than 100 million mu of land at once, but who will pay the millions of liang of silver each year?

Will those squires and officials be willing?

Of course not, most of them can only be pressed on the heads of the people. So if Zhang Juzheng doesn't die early, he will definitely end up nowhere.

Why? Because he touched the cake of Daming's biggest interest group!

The silver is ours!

Whoever moves will die!

Fang Xing looked up at the rising sun, and the frown was tighter.

"Now your majesty is the Lord, and your control over Daming is stronger than ever. If you don't start to innovate gradually while your majesty is here, Mr. Xie, then this matter can stop! I will take my family away and never set foot in Daming again!"

The sun gradually rose, and the sun was warm. Xie Jin rubbed his face with his hands, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"I thought I could travel through heaven and earth, but my understanding of Daming is not as good as you. I'm ashamed! But since you want to be crazy, what's the pity for me, an old man who has one leg in the coffin!"

Fang woke up and smiled, then stretched out his hand.

Xie jinleng for a moment, then laughed and clapped his hands.

"Ha ha ha!"

……

Muhua was at ease on her first night at Fang's house. She got up at dawn and waited for the call at the door.

Zhang Shuhui is a little tangled. On the one hand, Muhua is from Yingzhou. On the other hand, she is too young.

Among rich families, the age of servant girls is never a problem. They have small jobs.

But Fang's family is different. Fang Xing always doesn't like to show his momentum with a huge team of servants and servant girls.

So Muhua stood outside for an hour. Zhang Shuhui felt more and more uneasy, so she quietly found Huang Zhong.

Accompanied by mother Qin, after listening to Zhang Shuhui's question, Huang Zhong pondered and said, "madam, I also know something about uncle. I think this wood flower is just a comfort given to me by uncle. Don't worry."

"Comfort?"

Zhang Shuhui frowned and said, "my husband is upright. Why do you need these things?!"

Huang Zhong said with a wry smile: "I also thought of these after sorting out uncle's experience in Korea and Japan."

"Uncle has acted fiercely in Korea and Japan. Although he has no regrets, he still has some... That syndrome."

"War syndrome!"

Fang Xing mentioned the word several times, so Zhang Shuhui was impressed.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong studied Fang Xing's behavior in recent years and felt that the owner was more and more amazing.

"Uncle, after all, I can't bear to invade the enemy country. Naturally, the means is to..."

Huang Zhong didn't want to scare Zhang Shuhui, so he said briefly: "one side is the interests of Daming, and the other side is uneasy. Finally, uncle accepted Muhua..."

Zhang Shuhui already understood. She nodded and stopped Huang Zhong from explaining. She got up and said, "let's call it a day!"

Back in the inner room, seeing Muhua's low hair outside the door, Zhang Shuhui said, "don't stand foolishly after Muhua. Go and help look after rhubarb and bells."

Muhua looked up in surprise, then knelt down and said, "thank you, madam."

In the inner courtyard, if you have no work, you will be despised or even excluded by others.

Why do we all have to work and just hang around all day?

This is still a little girl!

Zhang Shuhui nodded slightly, and then went inside. She just saw Xiaobai puffing her cheeks and desperately swallowing food.

"Xiaobai..."

"Madam, I was wrong. I didn't eat much..."

Muhua got up lightly, listened to Xiaobai, who was taught by Zhang Shuhui, playing a coquettish role, pursed her mouth and smiled, and then went to find rhubarb.

Fang Xing stood in the corner of the inner courtyard and looked at the wood flowers with deep eyes.

Regret it?

Fang Xing shook his head. He didn't regret it. He just felt that he had become weak!

"Master, masu is looking for you."

Fang woke up and nodded, threw away his thoughts just now, and then went to the study.

"Teacher, there has been improvement in Suzhou mansion, but some poor children can't afford books."

Ma Su has grown up a lot recently. During Fang Xing's expedition, Xie Jin married her and finally married her daughter-in-law into the house.

Fang Xing frowned and said, "this matter can't be underestimated. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up money, but I can't give favors indiscriminately. Should you understand the truth?"

Masu nodded and said, "the disciples know, so they just let them copy by themselves. We just provided the worst paper and pen and ink."

Fang Xing said happily, "yes, it's a very appropriate disposal. Outsiders can't talk about it! It seems that you can be alone."

After marrying a daughter-in-law, men will have more sense of responsibility and gradually mature, and masu is no exception.
