In the summer of the first year of Yanhe in the Han Dynasty, Renchen (27).

After staying in Ganquan Palace for several days, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin returned to Chang'an.

Riding in the heavily protected palace car, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin both lifted the curtains and looked at the market conditions outside the window.

At this moment, scholars are talking about and whipping slavery everywhere in Chang'an.

After being occupied by Confucian scholars and gained the right to speak for public opinion, there was no one who could fight.

This "abolition movement" can be regarded as the first great unity of various Confucian factions since the Han Dynasty.

The Gongyang School held high Dong Zhongshu's banner, waved the "Spring and Autumn Annals", vigorously whipped slavery and land annexation.

By the way, I took out the rich and unkind merchants and stepped on them again 10,000 times.

The Guliang School naturally held high the banner of "benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness", "people-oriented", and "not competing for profit with the people", and at the same time whipped the slaves.

Even the Si Meng School took the opportunity to start promoting its own doctrine, following behind Gongyang and Gu Liang's elder brothers to gain a reputation.

Since the Warring States Period, since Mencius, the Confucian schools have never reached such a consensus on a certain matter.

Liu Jin was excited, his face full of passion, and he felt deeply that this was what scholars should do.

However, Zhang Yue was a little worried.

He didn't even know whether his actions of inciting Gong Yu and others this time were right or wrong?

But there is one thing he can be sure of.

Literary and doctors will recognize their energy through this exercise.

From now on, they may become more active.

This is not a good thing.

Once there are ambitious people who participate in and master the power of student movements and public opinion, it is difficult to ensure that these slags will not evolve into the Donglin Party or something.

so……

"The line of Taixue cannot be broken!" Zhang Yue told himself in his heart: "Instead of letting others master and monopolize the right to speak on public opinion, I should control and guide you!"

In other words, he has to make greater efforts in academic terms.

Best, make yourself an academic leader.

If this is not the case, it is not enough to monopolize and control public opinion.

……………………………………

The palace car drove into the Weiyang Palace.

In front of Sima's gate, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin got off the carriage.

The news had already been received. Gong Yu, Wang Ji, Yang Wangzhi, Zeng Sheng, Sang Jun, Zhao Guo, Hu Jian, Chen Wannian and other subordinates immediately rushed over and said respectfully: "I welcome your highness and the minister will return to the capital..."

"Please get up..." Liu Jin stepped forward with great joy, helped everyone up one by one, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"I dare not!" Gong Yu and others were also full of excitement. The development of the clamored "abolitionist movement" has put enough public opinion pressure on the powerful nobles in Guanzhong.

Whether they were willing or not, the major tyrants, nobles, the three nobles and nine ministers had to adapt to the public's call and began to release some of their slaves in an orderly manner.

In just a few days, thousands of slaves were released in Chang'an City alone.

In the entire Guanzhong, the number of slaves released is probably close to 3,000.

Although at least half of these released slaves are the elderly, weak, women and children, and they have no great value for exploitation, or even no value for exploitation.

But this is still a great victory! An unprecedented victory!

They used their efforts and sweat to win justice, saved the world and correct people's hearts!

This was something that Dong Zi couldn't do after writing letters and shouting loudly back then.

Naturally, everyone is excited, excited and excited.

So many students are now starting to be in a state of ejaculation.

But Gong Yu and others still maintained enough modesty.

Because, they know very well that without the support and acquiescence of the superiors, their efforts will not be successful.

Zhang Yue looked at these excited students and sighed.

He was a little unsure whether he had released a devil or an angel who might save the world.

But now that things have come to this point, he can only take one step at a time.

"It's up to man, maybe I can take a different path..." Zhang Yue thought to himself.

Everyone hugged Liu Jin and Zhang Yue and entered the Weiyang Palace, and then entered the Jianzhang Palace from the Fei Pavilion of Weiyang Palace.

Along the way, Gong Yu and others happily introduced the changes inside and outside Chang'an City to Liu Jin and Zhang Yue over the past few days.

When talking about the nobles and powerful people, they began to release their slaves one after another, everyone was even more excited.

Liu Jin was also very happy and discussed with them, looking forward to the future of the future of slavery and land annexation under the advocacy of the "just" people".

They all looked at each other, thinking that victory was approaching.

Zhang Yue listened from the side and shook his head secretly.

How can such a simple thing be?

Officials such as Sang Jun bowed their heads and said nothing.

All fools know that it is already the limit for nobles and powerful people to reach their current level.

Want them to give in?

hehe……

impossible!

Sang Jun even felt that the victory of Tai students and Confucian scholars may not last long.

because……

The freed slaves have no property at all.

They may not even have any guarantees about what they eat tomorrow.

The choice of most slaves is probably to continue to go back to find their master...

"Zhang Shizhong...Zhang Shizhong, why are you so depressed?" Zhang Yue's abnormality finally made Liu Jin realize it. He asked, "Aren't you happy for those released slaves?"

"Of course I am happy for them..." Zhang Yue lowered his head and said, "But I am also worried about them..."

"Um?"

"It's the middle of summer and the green and yellow are not around..." Zhang Yue said in a deep voice: "Except a few of the freed slaves can be greeted by their families, the rest are all lonely people, without relatives or reasons..."

"They have no things in their bodies, no skills in their bodies, no wealth in their bodies... they are ragged and cannot fill their stomachs..."

"Your Highness thinks, where can they go?"

Liu Jin was slightly stunned when he heard this, Gong Yu and others were poured a plate of cold water.

They were just concerned about happiness, but they forgot that the freed slaves are now likely to be in a worse situation than being slaves.

Especially those old, weak, women and children.

Can they find a place to live? Can they have something to eat?

However, most people, including Gong Yu and Liu Jin, have forgotten this.

At this moment, when Zhang Yue pointed it out, they immediately couldn't be happy.

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.

"Let the Shaofuqing post a notice..." Zhang Yue sighed: "If all the slaves who have lost their homes and no support, let the Shaofuqing take them in properly, and then find a way to find a job in Shanglinyuan..."

This is also the best ending for these released slaves.

This is thanks to the relatively small number of freed slaves.

Otherwise, the young master would probably have no choice.
