Chapter 226 Stay away

"Huang Shiren? Yang Bailao?" Zheng Tuoniang asked casually, and Chen Xie waved his hand quickly: "It's nothing, in America, a pair of good friends. I want to drink and take a bottle of wine. Don't move the rest. It's not easy for me to bring it from afar."

Chen Xie still has restrictions and cannot be too casual. However, these women are like red singers in today's society, with great influence and great influence. In Chen Xie's opinion, they are very valuable. Many things are spread through them, which is so fast.

When Zheng Tuo Niang went down, Chen Xie smiled at the two opposite him, "Tuo Niang's three good sisters come to play with her. Two should have two. One is Liu Rushi, the other is Gu Xi, and the other is Li Shiniang."

When they heard these three names, they both showed admiration. These red cards were really not something that poor scholars like them could see. Chen Xie looked at their expressions and smiled and said, "Wait a few days ago, the next newspaper will come out. Please invite some authors whose manuscripts are selected to come to the party. The location is on the Qinhuai River."

At this moment, both of them were moved and wanted to go back to write something. They continued to drink wine and the conversation continued. Chen Xie was a good listener. The young people performed strongly, so they were all talking, Chen Xie listened with a smile. It was different to dealing with them and a few women. These two things need to be guided rather than fooled.

Two scholars who failed the provincial examination naturally wanted someone to listen to it. As a result, the wine was good. After drinking a few cups, they blushed and talked too much. They talked endlessly, and they gave advice on the country, inspired words, and complained about bad luck in the imperial examination.

Before I knew it, I drank until two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Both of them were drunk. Chen Xie asked someone to help him and rest without mentioning it.

As soon as he woke up, it was already dark outside the window. Gu Jikun opened his eyes and looked around. His friend Gui Zhuang Xing was not there. When he got up, a maid came in behind the curtain at the door. Wanfu said, "Young Master is up!" He said, "Young Master, you are up!" He put down a toilet, opened the lid and stepped out, and the curtain was pulled up. This arrangement was really considerate. Gu Jikun released it. As soon as he stopped, the maid's voice came from the door: "Young Master, can I come in?"

The young man thought that he could hear clearly outside just now, and he couldn't help but blush. He quickly packed up his clothes and said, "Come in."

Two maids of fifteen or sixteen years old came in, wash the shelf, iron basin, mouthwashing glass, warm water, and combing. Gu Jikun was like a puppet, and had never been served like this. These were girls trained by fake women, and they were only popular. The methods of serving people were trained by specialists. After staying in the Ming Dynasty for so long, Chen Xie had no more integrity left. He felt no pressure in this way of sending maids to serve guests. Originally, they were relying on this to make a living. If you want to liberate women, they would be able to fight with you and say you would harm her.

"Sihua, do you want to build a good club?" Chen Xie, who was busy at the desk, couldn't help but turn back and ask, "No such meaning, why do you think so?" Zheng Tuoniang put down the book in her hand and said slowly: "These two are members of the club."

"The restoration society takes it as its mission to inherit Donglin's will. There are many people in the Donglin lineage who have served in the officialdom. If you are observing your ideas, it is not difficult to find that the Donglin lineage has no political achievements. You can teach and organize, speak up and speak up, dare to advise you, and become famous all over the world. Almost this is the way, and then you will be called a good minister in governing the world. It is ridiculous! After the Ming Dynasty reached this point today, after the late emperor ascended the throne, if it were not for the Donglin masters who cut off the many wealth resources of the court for their own personal interests, what is the current tax of the court? Commercial taxes, mining supervisors, tax officials, and other oppositions are not an important source of financial resources for the court. To put it bluntly, they are not as good as Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs."

Zheng Tuo Niang was frightened by this and quickly reached out to cover Chen Xie's mouth: "Sihua, be careful of your words."

Chen Xie nodded, sighed and lowered his voice, "I know, I just vent a few words in private. If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, few of these people will die in the country. The reason is very simple. If the dynasty changes, they will have to rely on them to govern it."

This sentence broke out in Zheng Tuoni's mind. She believed that Chen Xie was telling the truth, so she was so shocked. These moral gentlemen who spoke of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues were so unbearable.

"Sihua, can you say it carefully? I don't understand very well." Zheng Tuo Niang is not a strange woman with the heart of the world, and she doesn't have the ability. She is nothing more than caring about Chen Xie and worrying about his future.

"It's very simple. Looking at the situation of a country, the first thing we look at is finance. Things in the world cannot be separated from the word interests. The good financial situation of the court shows that the court is one mind. Why did the late emperor believe in the eunuch party? It's a very simple truth. Such a big country requires a large amount of financial sources as support. What is the Donglin Party doing? They are constantly cutting off the financial sources of the court, and the cut sources have all entered their private pockets. What about the country? The huge state institutions have been spending. Donglin cannot solve this problem. They will not do anything except attack others. Why is this happening? The reason is still simple, because of their respective backgrounds.

It decided that they would only do this. But the court needs silver, Liao salary, Jiubian, and the salary of the capital officials. Which one does not need silver? The problem they cannot solve is that Wei Zhongxian can solve. Who would you trust if you are the emperor? Even if you put aside the financial problems, look at the time when Donglin was in charge of the government, he was helpless in the face of external troubles and civil strife. Therefore, what a person said is not important, you have to see what he did. Since as a court official, the minimum professional ethics is that the purpose of work is for the interests of the court. Who is the interests of the court? Who represents the court? What I said does not need to be understood, just remember it, wait and see it slowly in the future."

Chen Xie's ending was the same, and Zheng Tuoniang couldn't help but worry: "Sihua, I am just a woman in the world. If you don't come, you have to laugh on the Qinhuai River. I have no other thoughts, but I just want you to be safe."

Chen Xie knew her worries and also knew where Nanjing was. So he smiled and comforted: "This worry is unnecessary. I didn't think about opposing these people within ten years. Stay away from them! Even if there are many arguments in Donglin that are neither ours nor villains, what can a group of scholars do to me?" (Author's note: Huang Zongxi is a representative figure, and his views are very clear. Donglin's lords are gentlemen, and those who hold different tunes are all villains. This man is famous and has a particularly bad influence. Xia Yunyi said: Donglin's high-profile arguments are always in charge of border control of bandits. Huang Zongxi refuted: The fact that the border control of bandits is just relative to the gentlemen and stay away from villains. Psychological, narrow-minded, and incompetent!)

Donglin is such a group of people. At the beginning of the Apocalypse, the country's finances in the Ming Dynasty were deteriorating rapidly, and they made great contributions.

Chen Xie's trip to Jiangnan has been consciously avoiding members of the Restoration Society. Gu Yanwu was just a small accident.

If you have to find one or two people from Fushe who Chen Xie thinks are pretty good, Gu Yanwu calculates one, Fang Yizhi calculates one, and Chen Zilong also calculates one. Of course, at this time, Chen Xie will not take the initiative to interact with Fushe.

In the Ming Dynasty, the influence of a free newspaper was very great, especially among scholars, and the clues soon emerged. The next day, at noon, Chen Xie gently broke free from the entanglement of his jade arm, got up to wash, and quietly went to the next door.

Liu Rushi, who was in a workaholic state, was already busy reading manuscripts in the editor-in-chief's office. When he saw Chen Xie, he complained, "Brother-in-law, there are too many manuscripts, hurry up and help me read some." Chen Xie was slow, and called the maid to bring tea, and put it on the table for her, saying, "I will always go back to Dengzhou, you have to get used to this rhythm of life."

Pouting, Liu Rushi continued to read the manuscripts, all of which were written by poetry. With Liu Rushi's level, he could deal with it.

After leaving the door of the editor-in-chief's office, Chen Xie was helpless when he saw that the editorial department next door was empty. It seemed that he had to stay for a while when he was traveling to Nanjing. He always put the editorial department on the shelf to get away. Liu Rushi was okay in his appearance, but she really had to manage newspapers or something. So, the other personnel had to be fully equipped.

When they arrived at the yard of the guest room, Gu Jikun and Gui Zhuang Xing were talking in the yard. Chen Xie came over and nodded with a smile: "Good morning."

"Mr. Sihua, there is a back door here, and there are many students who contribute to the articles." Gu Jikun said embarrassedly that he was leaving. Chen Xie smiled and said, "Mingpao's editorial department has not yet recruited personnel. Two of them are interested in becoming the first and third pages of the editor."

"How can this make Nanjing City so talented, and we wait for the last generation to learn, how can we take on this important task?" Gu Jikun was obviously very moved and looked polite. Chen Xie looked at it and found it very fun.

"Actually, it's nothing. The first page editor mainly copies the news from the newspaper and then interprets it in vernacular language, and does not need any comments. Remember, everyone in the world can know about the affairs of the world. Don't comment, it is to objectively tell the readers the facts. If there is feedback from readers, you can choose some articles appropriately and publish them in the newspaper. This is what the editor should do. Even if you have opinions, don't express them in the newspaper. The current affairs content of the newspaper must be objective. As for the second page, there are some sources of articles outside, and the editor just selects them. The third page is personally responsible by Editor-in-Chief Liu Rushi, and the fourth page has a dedicated person to write the story."

"We need to discuss it." Gu Jikun looked back and Gui Zhuang Xing smiled and said, "No need to discuss it, I agree." As he spoke, his eyes kept looking inside. Chen Xie turned around and saw Li Shiniang and Gu Xi waving. The feeling of failure was unexpectedly strong, and it seemed that he was not as attractive as the two beauties.

"Wait!" Chen Xie smiled and walked over. Gu Xi said, "Brother-in-law, we are leaving. Can you continue reading the story next time?" Chen Xie nodded, and Li Shiniang said, "Brother-in-law, can we come to find Sister Zheng often?"

Chen Xie nodded again, the two women looked at each other and smiled, each of them was blessed: "Thank you brother-in-law."

Chen Xie didn't understand very well when he watched the two leave. Later, he realized that it was difficult for these women to come to the high-gate courtyard to come out. (To be continued...)
