Chapter 82: Sneer

I don't know whether the three old men, Wang Shouren, Luo Qinshun and Wang Tingxiang, have been back and forth for several rounds. Cao Muwen doesn't know exactly when Luo Qinshun wrote to Wang Shouren for the first time, before or after he came to the governor's mansion as a servant. He thought of his other identity, that is, as a brocade guard, at least he was given more or less a task, that is, to monitor Wang Shouren's daily movements, specifically to see if he had any "incongruly" movements. Cao Muwen and his superiors don't need to worry about this. Wang Shouren can be said to be loyal. For the world of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty, they still have more bad intentions. Although Wang Shouren, Luo Qinshun, Wang Tingshang, as well as many scholars and Confucians in this era, there are tens of thousands of scholars and scholars. He wants to seize the world by himself and be the emperor by himself. Everyone is very simple and real. They just want to "dive the world". Since then, that's all, and there is nothing else. Cao Muwen knew Wang Shouren's real thoughts sitting opposite him, as well as Luo Qinshun, Wang Tingsang and the possible mathematically knowledgeable Hongru. Isn't that the expectation in their hearts also the same? No matter how profound the knowledge is, how obscure the point of view is, isn't it the simplest and most primitive point to return to these four words? All roads lead to Rome. Although there are countless ideas, there is only one point and only one destination. This is just the people of the world.

Cao Muwen looked at Wang Shouren and felt that he became more and more sincere. Ha ha..." He cleared his throat and wanted to ask questions about Luo Qinshun and Wang Tingxiang just now, but he didn't know where to start.

Wang Shouren broke the embarrassment at this time. "Wang Shilang, although I have different views from him, I still have a common view on this chaotic situation." Wang Shouren said softly.

"What?" Cao Muwen asked.

"You don't know, but it's not a big deal. I also know Wang Shilang's idea, which is also a matter of a few days. In fact, I received an order from the Ministry of War to gather the army and sort out the military training. There are more or less reasons for this Wang Tingxiang."

Say this naturally aroused Cao Muwen's interest. Wang Tingxiang was appointed as the servant of the Nanjing Military Department last year. Although the power of Nanjing's six departments is very small and they have no rights in most cases, at least he still has the right to speak. After all, the position of a waiter will still play a role in the military department of the Beijing Division. If the Ministry of War itself has such a plan, it will be more helpful.

Considering this, Cao Muwen asked, "Your Excellency, dare to ask, the army department ordered you to train troops here without immediately sending you to the front line to suppress bandits. What has happened in the past few months has more or less played the role of Wang Shilang of the prime minister of the royal court?"

"Haha, that's not it." Wang Shouren said, "It's too powerful to say that it can achieve such a role in a book, but he did put a plea to the Ministry of War, which he also mentioned in another letter with the debate. I have known it for a long time." Wang Shouren returned in a low voice and picked up the dishes as he spoke.

Cao Muwen was a little white. It seems that although Wang Shouren has been fighting with the other two for a long time, the master is ultimately a master. Even scolding the street is also scolding at a good level, which is self-restraint. Wang Shouren seems to be fighting with the other two, but in fact it is the same, but it's more than that. In particular, Wang Tingxunang, as a servant of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is in a high position. Although he has little real power, he "standing high and can see far". After all, in Nanjing, one of the two major officialdoms, he also assumes the official position of a waiter. Naturally, there is a high level of things. Perhaps in some situations, there will be convenience that Wang Shouren is not easy to find. Fortunately, Wang Tingxiang is naturally not a small-bellied person, but everyone. Although he has different views, it will not prevent everyone from appreciating each other and becoming friends with each other. Although Cao Muwen doesn't know whether Wang Shouren and them are like this, they have reached an agreement only from the perspective of what Wang Shouren is doing now. Cao Muwen meditated.

"Now it seems that there have been a lot of chaos in Jiangnan provinces, and ordinary people will really feel that the world is in chaos. In fact, although the world is chaotic, it is not out of control. Otherwise, there will be no work for us literati. Wang Shouren said and laughed to himself.

Cao Muwen understood and asked, "It seems that you and Mr. Wang Shilang have talked about these things in his heart a long time ago. Moreover, it seems that you and he have reached an agreement.

"Well, at first, I only discussed the reason for the banditry in Jiangnan in the content of the letter of mutual questioning. I didn't think that the deeper the conversation, the deeper the conversation, the deeper it became. As we talked, which accounted for a large part of the content of the letter. And..." Wang Shouren said as he picked up the bowl and motioned Cao Muwen opposite to eat together. The latter nodded and was no longer restrained at all. After a few mouthfuls of food, Cao Muwen asked before Wang Shouren continued to talk, "It seems that the adult and he have not only discussed a lot of the bandits in several provinces, but also have some countermeasures?"

"Actually, the so-called countermeasure has never been used." Wang Shouren pondered, "If you knew the word '*', there would be no current banditry. This is the best countermeasure, that is, to prevent banditry from happening."

"But it has happened. Although it is difficult to admit, some dog officials have squeezed the people and run rampant in the countryside since ancient times. It has been like this since ancient times, and it has been used in all dynasties. What can we do? As the saying goes, 'Why did you have to know today'?" Cao Muwen was straightforward for a moment and blurted out. As soon as he said it, he immediately regretted his unscrupulous words.

Wang Shouren was not unhappy when he heard this. He smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong. It's the same when I was a child. I also specifically asked my father why some farmers always rebelled if they didn't farm well. Why do you rebel against a good life? At that time, he was really young and ignorant. Wang Shouren said with a self-deprecating smile. In fact, everyone is like this when they are young, and it is also good to be young and frivolous, so that people will not regret being timid when they are young when they are old. It doesn't matter. My father didn't give me any answer at that time, but stroked my head and smiled and said, 'You will understand in the future.'

Cao Muwen is also funny to hear this. This Mr. Wang Hua is really the same as all Chinese parents, saying "I will understand in the future" to prevaricate. Cao Muwen was the same when he was young. Who hasn't asked any "difficult to answer" questions? At that time, it was really difficult to answer, but in fact, some things need not be said. It is only until the child grows up, and there is no need to explain.

Wang Shouren continued: "Corrupt officials are like 'unior rich and poor'. They all know that this thing is not good, and they will always fantasize about how good it would be if there were no corrupt officials in the world. Everyone has their own land, and everyone has enough food and clothing. Who would rebel? What about it? This is the case in most dynasties, but various ills will appear over time. Corrupt officials are just one example, but they seem to be the most difficult and important. Corrupt officials can't be without it, just like 'both rich and poor'. As Wang Shouren spoke, his tone became a little heavy and seemed to be distracted. Cao Muwen heard it clearly from one side and saw it clearly. He knew that it was inconvenient to interrupt him, and he was also very interested. As if he had not even felt the surge of ** for a long time, he also listened to Wang Shouren.

The three words 'both rich and poor' are written in less than 20 strokes. They are simple to write, easy to read, and look fascinating. But...hum." Wang Shouren suddenly laughed softly, and his tone was not at all. Cao Muwen naturally understood that the so-called "averaging the rich and the poor" is really an unrealistic dream of most people in China for thousands of years, and this dream continues, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the era hundreds of years later, and even intensified. Compared with each other, the former is actually a small witch. If you want to say the word "jun", which era can be compared with that "great" era? But is this really possible? Is it feasible? Because we are human beings, "econtain rich and poor" has always been our unforgettable dream. Because this is a dream, it will never come true. Cao Muwen has always had such an idea, just like the classic interpretation of the law by the founding father of the United States: "If everyone is an angel, there is no need for the law. If everyone can intuitively abide by the law, there is no need for a government to comply with the law." But after all, people are human beings, not angels, let alone human beings, so "the rich and poor" can never be achieved. If it is really realized one day, then we will no longer be "people", not "angels" or "devil".

Wang Shouren poured another glass of wine and said, "Although it is impossible to 'beginally rich and poor', it is necessary to live and work in peace and contentment. But the old things of the past dynasties are always repeated as usual. At the beginning, living and working in peace and contentment soon turned into a mirror. The people have no field, and the people who watch the sky and eat have no 'heaven' and no 'land'. There may be relief from the court waiting for them. But at this time, some of the corrupt people discussed before will appear and cut off the last life of the people. In this way, no matter who is, they have to consider the worst strategy for their own way to live. Wang Shouren said as he spoke, his tone was getting heavier and heavier.

"Alas..." Cao Muwen is also suitable for a long sigh, "As the saying goes, 'officials are dog officials, civil unruly people'. Since the official is already a dog official, let the people do it, or even be a 'mb'!"
