Chongzhen Undergraduates

Hong Chengchou blushed with embarrassment, but Kong Yinzhi seemed indifferent, and answered: "This is what the ancestors said, from "The First Chapter of Kaizong Mingyi" in "Book of Filial Piety."

"Oh, it turned out to be here. I don't know what this sentence means?" Hauge stared at Kong Yinzhi, waiting to see how he would explain it.

"Heaven and earth are kings, relatives and teachers, the king is great. A little hair, just cut it just right, but it's troublesome." Kong Yinzhi replied without a trace of hesitation.

"It's really shameless." Hong Chengchou cursed in his heart. He recalled that when he surrendered, at least he still had some backbone.

"I also heard that the Confucian government has strict regulations: monks and son-in-law are not allowed to enter the Confucian family tree, right?"

"There is such a rule. However, I still have braids." Kong Yinzhi still acted as if nothing had happened, and even moved the tea bowl that was a little far away for Hauge.

Seeing Hauge embarrassing Kong Yinzhi, Hong Chengchou couldn't stand it anymore.He got up, ready to leave this uncomfortable place.

"Where is Mr. Hong going?" Hauge continued in a contemptuous tone.

"I, I want to relieve myself." Hong Chengchou turned around and saluted helplessly with a blue face.

"This is the territory of the saints. If you want to pee, you have to go to Tai'an. How can you insult the holy place."

Hong Chengchou was sure that Hauge must have obtained the previous rhetoric that the Confucian government blocked Li Yan's army from passing.

When he was thinking about how to answer Hauge, Hauge stood up and said loudly: "I want to take a shit, where is the toilet in Yanshenggong Mansion?"

"My lord, this way please." Kong Yinzhi got up quickly, and by the way called the servant to wait for Hauge to go to the toilet.A Confucian man with a newly shaved head was waiting behind Hauge in a panic and cautiously, with a very respectful appearance.

Hong Chengchou urinated, and he held back abruptly.

In the city of Qufu, on several venues in the Confucian Mansion, the entire Confucian Mansion took out family banquet dishes and was doing its best to entertain these vulgar soldiers with bald heads like them.

The exquisite dishes of the so-called Confucian family banquet were completely ruined by these barbaric soldiers. Altars of good wine from the Confucian Mansion that had been preserved for many years were constantly flowing into the mouths of these people.

Confucian family banquets are naturally graded, like the table in the inner hall, which is naturally the highest grade.There are more than 130 dishes on each table for this level of banquet, and there is a famous name called "Confucian Mansion Banquet Yan Vegetable Feast".Also known as "high banquet". "Gaobai" is a unique decoration on the Yancai banquet. It is one foot high, made of glutinous rice flour, and has a cylindrical shape with a thick mouth. It is placed on four large silver plates.The light in the middle is a pattern, just like embroidery.

Kong Yinzhi introduced the names and allusions of each dish in the first "welcome banquet" hosted by the Confucian Mansion for Hauge.

Hong Chengchou ate the so-called first taste of chopsticks: the gold hook and silver bar, and then thought about it, never wanting to take a second bite.It turned out to be nothing more than a plate of fried shrimp with mung bean sprouts.

"It is said that your Kong family is the best in the world, and it really deserves its reputation." Haoge blushed a little after drinking, even if he was from Liaodong, he couldn't stand the persuasion of a bunch of well-known people from the Kong family.

"Where. The number one family in the world is naturally the royal family." Kong Yinzhi didn't dare to trust him, and hurriedly took cover.

"Is it the hypocritical Zhu family?" Hauge's eyes slanted, he was completely out of alcohol.In terms of the prosperity of the royal family, Aixinjueluo is not very good, at least it is very average now, and it is not even comparable to the scale of some small families in the Central Plains.

"Of course it's the royal family of the Dajin Kingdom." Kong Yinzhi said quickly, and he also felt that he had missed the point.

"Oh? Tell me, is it because your Kong family has a large population, or my Dajin Royal family has a large population." Hauge was a little angry when he saw such a big family. There is no harm if there is no comparison. As a royal family, he naturally thinks so prosperous.

"What I said is that ten thousand years from now, the royal family of the Dajin Kingdom will surely have prosperous descendants." Kong Yinzhi's horse clapped resoundingly.

"The imperial decree is here!" Just when Kong Yinzhi was trying his best to achieve the state of enjoying the guests and the host, there was a loud shout outside the door, and everyone was stunned.

At this time, the imperial decree from the capital was related to the life and death of the Confucian family, and the army was at home, and Kong Yinzhi's heart was already in his throat.

The central door of the Confucian Mansion was wide open, and all the ceremonies to welcome the imperial decree were of the highest standard.Hong Chengchou didn't know what to do, he didn't know how Dorgon would treat the Kong family.

Hauge was sitting on the chair in the middle, holding the handle of the knife with his hands. He even hoped that Dorgon would kill the Kong family. He was very disgusted with the luxury of this room.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: The emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom granted Kong Yanzhi the No. 60 fourth-generation Yan Shenggong, a hereditary title, hereby!"

Kong Yinzhi took a deep breath, and immediately relaxed more than half of his body.

Chapter 2 and Six: Public Opinion

According to folklore, the sun on the sixth day of June is the most poisonous.

Every year on the sixth day of June, the common people will take out the quilts, thick clothes and old grains used in the winter at home and expose them to the sun vigorously.This is said to kill bugs and keep things from getting moldy.

Ever since Emperor Zhu Youjian suppressed the Chuang army from Huguangqing, the mental outlook of the entire Ming Dynasty has changed, and the haze that used to hang over Nanjing gradually began to feel like it was drifting away.

Shi Kefa, the Minister of the Ministry of War, finally stopped being in a dilemma and moved around.Shi Kefa, who has been taking a bath for a long time, plans to ask Zhu Youjian to take a leave of absence on June [-]th, so that he can have a good rest at home.

When people reach a certain age, they always get up early habitually, especially for people with strong self-discipline like Shi Kefa.

Although it was Hugh Mu, he woke up early this morning on time, and went to the street to buy some food himself, ready to enjoy it.

"My lord, this is the residence report sent by the imperial court."

"Di Bao? Why did you send me here?" Shi Kefa felt strange.The institution that issued the Dibao in the Ming Dynasty was the Department of General Administration, which was a central institution that specialized in inspecting internal and external memorials and appeal documents, and was responsible for the government affairs of the imperial court.

Recently, the emperor Zhu Youjian, on a whim, merged the General Secretary into the cabinet, and appointed a new general envoy - Huang Daozhou. All the documents of the entire cabinet and the court were handed over to the General Secretary. An independent printing workshop was established, and the printing speed was greatly improved by using letterpress printing.

Under normal circumstances, the residence newspaper is to inform the local officials of the latest government decree, and Shi Kefa, a high-ranking central official, naturally does not need to receive the residence newspaper.

Out of a serious attitude towards work, Shi Kefa decided to take a look at this item.

With just one glance, Shi Kefa felt the difference.This so-called mansion newspaper was a little different from the ones he had seen before: first of all, the paper had changed, it had become a little grayer, it was no longer the yellowed paper.Second, this residence newspaper is a bit thick, not in the folded style of a memorial, but a few large pages.

The first thing Shi Kefa saw was a striking term: "Daming Daily".Daily, what is this?

Looking further down, Shi Kefa found a line of small characters next to the name, which printed the current date: Chongzhen Dynasty Yiyou Year, Renwu Moon, Jiawu Day, Sunny.

Shi Kefa basically understands that this thing is one serving a day, and it seems that it will be available every day in the future.He is no stranger to the new things that Zhu Youjian created.

Then looking down, a big title first came into view: On the teacher.Shi Kefa was very curious. This kind of nondescript article was obviously not a palace newspaper of the imperial court, but more like a book.

The article emphasized the importance of teachers, mentioned the past of Confucius, and finally called on everyone to learn from Confucius and be a good teacher.

Shi Kefa is in a good mood, at least today.Based on his understanding of Zhu Youjian this year, it can be said that Zhu Youjian agrees to praise the sage of Confucius on this kind of thing, which can be said to be very exceptional.

This is the first newspaper officially launched by Zhu Youjian in the news industry.Newspapers are not something that can be done just by doing it. First of all, you have to have a reading group.Many novels write about this, such as printing one hundred or one thousand copies.

In this era of layout printing, it is estimated that the price of [-] copies will not be much cheaper than [-] copies.Literati in this era cherish words like gold, and the articles they publish are all short stories, and it is only two copper coins to publish a collection of poems.

If you dare to publish a million-word novel, you may lose your fortune.Just the manuscript fee for writing the article is a big expense.In the famous "Book of Ming" case, Zhuang Tingyu hired 16 famous scholars including Wu Yan and Pan Tanzhang to rewrite the history of the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty at the price of 30 taels of silver per thousand words.Think about it, 30 taels for a thousand words!Get rich. ([-] words are omitted here, haha.)

Not to mention the cost of printing, which is definitely not affordable by ordinary people.Not to mention that it can be printed and distributed in large quantities. In Daming, those that can be printed into words are very precious.

But this Mansion Newspaper is sold openly in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, and the price is not too expensive, about equal to the price of a meat bun.

On the issue of pricing, Huang Daozhou asked Zhu Youjian to play.Zhu Youjian thinks: the price of a steamed bun is just right, and the low-level people save money. They would rather eat steamed buns than eat steamed buns. They don't care much about national affairs.

People who can read and write are concerned about saving face, and they are afraid of being left behind. Even if they don’t eat it, they will save money to buy it.

Scholars in Nanjing, in fact, do not focus on the profession of teachers at all. They are happiest when they hear someone praise Confucius.

From the perspective of Confucian scholars, as long as the emperor praises Confucius, it means that the court honors him. This is the situation that Confucian scholars are most willing to see.

As a result, the first day's "Da Ming Daily" sold well.
