Ms. Teshiro took a deep breath.

While turning the long breath that made his flat chest bulge into a faint sigh, he quietly slumped his shoulders.

"Just because of this incident, I hate Itakura Hirahiko. I also have no good impressions of the group of Confucian scholars who were very familiar with Itakura Hirahiko."

"Although I don't know why that group of Confucian scholars hang out with a shameless person like Itakura Hirahiko... But I guess they want to curry favor with the rich and powerful Itakura Hirahiko in order to make profits.

."

"Although he is the second son in the family, Itakura Hirahiko is also the son of Wakatoshi."

"With just a word of mouth, a white person can immediately become an official in the shogunate - this statement may be a bit exaggerated, but with a powerful figure in the family like Itakura Hirahiko, it is good to find an official position,

Whether you get promoted or make a fortune, it will become much easier."

Before she could finish speaking, Miss Teshiro turned her head and turned her gaze back to the group of Confucian scholars from Shoheizaka Academy not far away, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

"Look at that group of people... they are crazy about wanting to be officials."

"Every time I get together, I either lament that I was born at the wrong time and have nowhere to show my talents, or I complain about everything. One moment, I say that this person does not deserve to be transferred to the right, and the reward is not worthy of merit, and he is not worthy of being an official; the next moment, I say that person

He is a mediocre person, his cauldron is thundering, his corpse is eating nothing."

"In recent times, hasn't Nioh Tachibana Aoden been promoted frequently due to his extraordinary achievements? Those people are so jealous that their eyes are almost glowing red."

"Whenever they get together recently, they always make fun of the King."

"What to say: The benevolent king only knows how to wield swords and spears. How can the shogunate promote such a reckless man and ignore the true talents who are proficient in the study of saints?"

"A treasure from the ocean, a precious jade covered in dust, and so on... Sigh, my ears are almost getting calluses when I hear it."

Teshiro-san swallowed hard to moisten her throat that was dry due to the long speech, and prepared to continue.

But at this moment, an impatient shout suddenly pierced Miss Teshiro like a sharp arrow.

"Ah Li! What are you doing? Why are you chatting with the guests all the time? Have the tables over there been wiped?"

Miss Teshiro's expression suddenly froze, and her delicate body shook vigorously a few times.

"Ah, ah! Boss!" Miss Teshiro turned her head reflexively and said urgently to the middle-aged man who was leaning half of his upper body out of the kitchen door curtain, "Hug, I'm sorry! I'm going to clean the table now!"

"

After saying this, Miss Teshiro turned her head, clasped her hands together, and bowed slightly to Qingto and the others with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, I can't chat with you anymore. If we continue to chat, the boss will be really angry. If you want to add food or have any other needs, just call me again!"

Tokugawa Iemo nodded and smiled slightly:

"Well, you can go and do your business. It's us who should say 'I'm sorry'. I'm sorry that we have pestered you for so long."

"You're welcome. I'm the kind of person who likes to chat with guests. I'm very happy to have chatted with you for so long."

After leaving a string of hearty laughter like silver bells, Miss Teshiro held the tea tray and walked quickly towards the dirty tables not far away.

After watching Miss Teshiro's leaving figure for a while, Qingto turned his attention to the group of young Confucian scholars who were only one table away from them.

——A student from Shoheizaka Institute of Studies...

After traveling so long to this era, this was the first time Qingdeng met a Confucian disciple who made it his mission to study Confucianism in the true sense.

The spread of Confucianism to the east began when the two countries were in contact, that is, during the Han Dynasty. Later, Japan carried out major reforms and further learned from Confucian culture in Chinese politics.

Although the cultures of the two countries have had many exchanges in history, Confucianism has not been accepted by Japan. It is only a cultural exchange among Japan's upper-class nobles or policy provocations. Such provocations often do not take into account Japan's national conditions.

So most of them fail later.

Until the Edo period, after Tokugawa Ieyasu established his rule, out of the urgent need to maintain the ruling order of the Tokugawa family, there was an urgent need for a strong ideological culture as the official basis for rule.

Previously, the mainstream culture in Japan was Buddhist Zen culture. Generally speaking, it was the opposite of the government. Whether it was the massive propaganda of Buddhist culture or the large absorption of labor and national wealth by the temple economy, it was not conducive to the shogunate's future rule expectations and society.

Stable.

Therefore, Confucian culture, which has developed continuously in China and brought practical benefits to the development of Chinese society, became the first choice of the "political and cultural spokesperson" of the Edo shogunate.

Under the leadership of the Edo shogunate, Confucianism began to truly flourish in Japan. Confucianism was truly integrated into Japanese social life and penetrated into all walks of life in Japan.

Being jealous - Qingdeng has long been used to this kind of thing.

So when he learned from Miss Teshiro that this group of pretentious Confucian scholars often complained that he was "unworthy of his moral integrity", Qingden felt no emotion at all.

In the past, Qingdeng might still feel unhappy, but after going through many storms, his mood has become much calmer.

Now, when faced with the slander from the "Red-Eyed Monster", Qingdeng's thoughts are roughly as follows: Let others speak loudly, so let them have their say! I can't control the other person, anyway, I just need to be myself.

However, although he did not care about the arrogant behavior of the group of Confucian scholars Gu Panzixiong, Qingden was inexplicably interested in another activity that Teshiro-san mentioned that this group of people often did at gatherings - criticizing the current ills.

Aoshito wanted to hear for no reason what kind of views and opinions the Confucian disciples who studied in the highest Confucian institution under the Edo shogunate had on the current situation of Japan.

It's a coincidence that Qingdeng is not the only one who is concentrating and preparing to listen carefully to the discussion of the group of Confucian scholars.

Tokugawa Iemo, Tenzouin, and the two sisters all acted in the same manner as Ayoto.

Although the behavior is the same, the purpose is different.

Qingdeng was just out of curiosity.

Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin, on the other hand, had a serious attitude of asking questions with an open mind, and wanted to listen carefully to whether these Confucian scholars could really say something convincing that would make them nod.

As for the two sisters... they are pure fun-loving people. They just wanted to kill time because they were bored and had nothing to do, so they both showed eager expressions on their faces as if they were ready to listen to storytelling.

A group of people sat in rows, drank tea and listened to the lecture.

But who would have thought - just when Qing Deng raised his ears, he was shocked by a series of shocking and violent remarks that made his eyes black.

"Everyone! I believe that if we want to correct the evils and clarify the world, we must restore the well field system of the pre-Qin Dynasty!"

The person who said this is a tall, thin man.

——Ida?!

Qingdeng almost wondered if he heard it wrong.

In the nine years of compulsory education in the previous life, anyone who took junior high school history classes seriously should not be unfamiliar with this term.

The well-field system: the land state-owned system in ancient Chinese society, which appeared in the Shang Dynasty and matured by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, roads and channels crisscrossed the land, dividing the land into squares shaped like the word "well", so it was called "well fields".

The well fields belonged to the king of Zhou and were allocated to the common people. The lords forced the common people to cultivate the well fields collectively. The lords were not allowed to buy, sell or transfer the well fields, and they had to pay a certain tribute.

By the Spring and Autumn Period, due to many reasons such as the emergence of iron farm tools and the popularization of ox farming, the well field system gradually collapsed.

In a nutshell: the well-field system is a land system that has been eliminated for more than two thousand years.

Before Qingdeng could recover from his intense shock, he heard the idiot continue to speak excitedly:

"I believe that the current shortage of money and food for the shogunate and the three hundred princes is due to the shortcomings of the land system!"

"Local tyrants use their power to oppress others, use clever means to plunder and seize land."

"The rich have endless fields, but the poor have no place to stand!"

"Now the Western Barbarians are knocking on the pass, the country is trapped in war, the expenses are huge, and taxes are increasing day by day."

"At this time of national crisis, the wealthy family still does not change its nature of being greedy for husband and wealth!"

"Those who have a lot of money will have nothing to lose; those who rise to the top will be penniless."

"The taxes that should be levied cannot be collected, and the food that should be collected is not available."

"To this day, this matter is almost irreversible! If things continue like this, the country's situation may become out of control!"

"If we don't change the law and strive to become stronger, I'm afraid the society will change in the future and things will be even more difficult!"

"Ya Sheng said: 'Those who do not have permanent property but have perseverance can only be qualified by scholars. If you are a common people, you will not have permanent property because you have no perseverance. If you do not have perseverance, you will spend time to ward off evil and do everything for yourself.'"

"There are no more than a million fields in the world. There are no more than tens of millions of people in the world. If the tillers can have their fields, the diligent have their industry, and the hard workers have their gains, then why worry about no taxes to levy and no grain to harvest?

"

"If we are determined to innovate and reshape the pre-Qin minefield system, there is hope for the country's rejuvenation!"

As soon as Ma Ganer finished his impassioned speech, cheers and cheers suddenly sounded around him.

"Not bad! Well said!"

"Restore the well-field system of the pre-Qin period... Well, that makes sense."

"Hirose-kun! Your idea coincides with mine!"

"That's right! If you want to revitalize the country, you must start with the reform of the land system!"
