"Oh, it turns out it's the Nian shopkeeper. I wonder why the Nian shopkeeper came to listen to this hygiene class?"

Just as Ma Qiang explained to Liu Xie, Yang Biao and others were not idle and began to talk to the people around.

"Hey, the newspapers said that it's time to live and learn until you are old. There is no harm in learning more, and you won't be able to suppress your skills.

Besides, this night school is the most lively. After class, everyone chats together, which is much more interesting than at home.”

Yang Biao still knows what the newspaper is, but what Yang Biao didn't expect was that the shopkeeper, the merchant, would also read the newspaper.

"I see that the shopkeeper in New Year is wearing a body shape. The family should be very wealthy. Is there no beautiful wife and concubine at home?"

The shopkeeper Nian smiled and pointed outside and said, "Yes, my wife is learning math there. When I came to the night school, she brought me there. She said that most of the math classes were men, and she came alone to be afraid that others would gossip.

In fact, who would talk about night school gossip? This is a place to learn things and can't tolerate those dirty things!"

"Learn math? Why?"

"Oh, it's not that I don't have the talent to learn mathematics. Although I hired an account, there is always someone at home who knows mathematics? My child is stupid and is not as good as me in mathematics. I can only rely on my aunt.

In fact, it’s not just me. Now, as long as you have time, who won’t come to night school to study? Otherwise, during the day, you will not understand what others are saying even when you talk to others.

Look, if someone spits everywhere tomorrow, he will definitely be laughed at and doesn’t come to the class, and maybe he will be scolded even if he spits!"

"So that's it, but since you are a businessman, you probably have to get up early during the day. Are you not afraid of delaying your business when you go to night school?"

"I'm a guy, what are you afraid of? Besides, I have to take the exam if I want to enter the Chamber of Commerce. If I can't study some books in the night school, I'm still afraid I won't be able to get it!"

"Chamber of Commerce? What is that?"

"You... aren't from Hebei, aren't you?"

"Oh, I am Hongnong."

"I said, it turned out to be Hongnong, no wonder he had to do with the earth... Cough cough... I mean, it's okay to talk to you. This chamber of commerce is an association composed of merchants. All members of the chamber of commerce can communicate with each other in the chamber of commerce and discuss some issues.

For example, I am in the cloth business, but I am not doing this cloth business alone. There are too many people doing it. If we don’t communicate, then you will lower the price for the sake of the good business, and I will also lower the price, and in the end, no one can make money."

"Then...if you all discuss raising prices together, will the people suffer?" Yang Biao asked.

"Who dares! There is a Commercial Supervision Bureau! If we raise prices together, it's just a hoarding market. It would be fine if there is a suitable reason. If not, the fine will be small, and if it is serious, it will be beheaded!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper Nian made a knife and made a cracking move towards his neck.

It turns out that it's not that it can't work...but it's not that I dare...

Yang Biao suddenly thought of something, but the thought flashed and could never be captured again.

"So everyone should discuss a price that will not be punished, but will also make a profit.

There are also regulations, such as what kind of cloth is good and what kind of cloth is secondary. In case of conflicts, the Chamber of Commerce will also need to help communicate and resolve it. In short, after joining the Chamber of Commerce, it will be more convenient for us small merchants to do business."

"Hey, Mr. Yang, it's getting late, let's go!"

Yang Biao turned around and saw Ma Qiang taking Liu Xie to leave, so he bowed to the shopkeeper Nian and followed Ma Qiang and others to an inn to have a stay and rest.

Tomorrow they will return to the team and continue to advance towards Jinyang.

In the inn, Yang Biao couldn't sleep no matter how hard he wanted to seize the inspiration just now.

Suddenly, he sat up suddenly, and he finally thought of what his inspiration was.

Excited, he couldn't sleep any more, so he simply got up and walked out of the door and came to the yard.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Xi, Chunyu Jia and Han Rong all in the yard. The four of them looked at each other and smiled, sat on the stone bench in the yard and began to speak.

"The general is indeed extraordinary. Hospitals, primary schools, night schools, electric lights, cement roads, deep well excavators. The ancients said that you can tell the whole leopard with a glimpse. Today, we only walked into one county, and there are so many strange things. I dare not think about the Guangzong and the plains. "Han Rong said first.

He had also received a letter from Han Fu to him before, and there were many praises to Ma Qiang. He used to disdain, thinking that Han Fu was praising Ma Qiang, but now he felt that Han Fu was still too conservative.

"Yes, I see that the people here are very worried when they talk about the General's Mansion. The General is so restrained by the people... You said..." Chunyu Jia looked worried and thought about the emperor.

"Be careful!" Han Rong looked around and then whispered, "This is his territory, be careful of the ears of the wall!"

He knew that Ma Qiang had secret spies such as the Jinyiwei under his command.

Chunyu Jia hurriedly covered his mouth and said that he didn't dare to continue talking.

Yang Biao said, "What Chunyu Gong said is reasonable. We are all people who eat Han Lu in the world. Are you going to watch the story of Tian Shi Dai Qi reenactment?"

When several people heard the four words "Dai Qi in Tian's family", their faces were filled with worry and helplessness.

But they have no soldiers and the court has no real power in Hebei. What should they do?

Yang Biao has been thinking about this issue these days.

But the chamber of commerce that the shopkeeper mentioned tonight reminded him of it.

In the past, Liu Hong was slandered by eunuchs, saying that their scholars had formed a clique, which led to Liu Hong's party and corruption again and suppressing the gentry. If the Yellow Turbans had not been in chaos later, the party and corruption would have probably not ended.

As the leader of the gentry, Yang participated in this history throughout the whole process. Therefore, Yang Biao knew that the real cause of the Party and Prison disaster was not the eunuchs' slander, but the reason why the gentry supported the foreign relative Dou family before the Xinhai coup and made Liu Hong feel dissatisfied with the gentry from the bottom of his heart.

This made Yang know the majesty of imperial power, so he made up his mind that no matter what the world was, the Yang family would be loyal to the family purpose of imperial power, and at the same time, it also made Yang Biao vaguely understand the power of scholars to form cliques.

Because even if the scholars do not have real cliques, the imperial power must be used to use all means to suppress the scholars.

Then...what if the scholars really formed a clan!

At that time, I am afraid that the imperial power will not be able to suppress the scholarly party!

Yang Biao whispered, "I think that if we can save the Han Dynasty today, we are the scholars and Confucian scholars!"

"Duke Yang, we have no soldiers and no power, how can we save the Han Dynasty?" Zhang Xi asked.

"When the Party and the Criminals in the past, we had no soldiers or power. What do we rely on to fight with those eunuchs?"

The few people looked at each other and said two words together.

"Clean discussion!"

"Yes, it's the Qing Dynasty's opinion that our Confucian scholars can kill people with their pens as their swords, and their tongue as their swords can kill their hearts!

Ma Ziyu was afraid of my prestige of Yang and dismissed my official position. I could imitate Kong Rong, start school and recruit aspiring people, echoing the government and other governments.
