Compared to the other scholars under the Drum Tower who were still struggling with food, Xiong Bolong thought more.

Of course, these ideas are mainly based on surprise and shock.

If he heard it correctly just now, what Luo Shuban said was that Mr. Liu planned to promote and popularize education in Huguang Province?

Is this to let everyone study? Who will plant the fields, and who will weave cloth and raise silkworms?

Have you ever heard of such a strange thing since ancient times? If you really follow Liu Ximing's approach, what else can you do in the future like these scholars?

At that moment, Xiong Bolong immediately asked these questions.

Above the Drum Tower, Luo Yongshou looked at Xiong Bolong with admiration.

"This student Xiong really thinks about the long-term, but the problem you are worried about is not a problem in the opinion of the cabinet."

"I just said that the reason why the world is unstable is that people are inequality, so that the intelligent bullies the stupid, the strong bullies the weak, and the popular education is to eliminate the intellectual gap between people."

"As for the problem that Xiong Shengyuan is worried about too many scholars in the world, Liu Ge has long proposed that the reason why the world develops is important, but those who are skilled in all kinds of craftsmen are equally important."

"If the scholars in the lower world think of becoming officials today, the official position will not be enough. In the future, if there are more scholars in the future, they can study all kinds of crafts, business, travel, music theory, etc. In this way, everyone can make money, wouldn't it be fun?"

"A bastard, how can we confuse people like the untouchables like the sages when we read the books of sages!"

It would be fine if Luo Yongshou didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, many scholars under the Drum Tower became even more angry.

"Don't let your mother go!"

Suddenly, a shocking curse came from outside the crowd, directly suppressing all the sounds outside the drum tower.

The scholar who had just spoken rudely suddenly turned red with anger, and he blushed and looked around with a fierce look.

"Who dares to speak wildly?"

A big road suddenly appeared in the crowd. Liu Ximing, wearing a big red python robe, walked out majestic under the escort of his personal soldiers. He Tengjiao and several Huguang officials followed behind him with timidity.

Liu Ximing had a dark face and said angrily as soon as he entered the crowd:

"I just said, what are you going to do?"

Damn it!

The scholars below the Drum Tower, including Xiong Bolong and others, all bowed and bowed to salute, "The scholars of Wuchang Prefecture paid a visit to Liu Gemen."

The scholar who had just started to curse suddenly turned from blushing and pale, and he was stunned for a moment.

Liu Ximing glanced at him dissatisfiedly, snorted coldly and turned to look at the onlookers and said:

"What the official scolded was not against him, but the absurd words in his mouth. What do all the business and business travelers mean? According to what you said, Huangdi invented a car, Shennong tasted all the grass, Suiren Shi

Inventing fire, these are all done by untouchables, so are they all untouchables?"

"According to your words, all the Chinese people are inherited from Emperor Yan Huang. Then we are all untouchables. What qualifications do you have to be arrogant here!"

Liu Ximing's angry expression made all the scholars present frightened, and he could only hear him continue to angrily:

"One or two are always reading sages and learning the policy of governing the country, I'm gonna!"

"Now everyone in the court is full of people like you. Has this country been governed? Now the corruption is prevalent all over the world. Does anyone remember the way of sages they have learned?..."

Liu Ximing cursed for more than ten minutes before he stopped, but he felt relieved. The group of onlookers around him looked like pig's liver.

This supervisor and assistant minister is so ruthless!

Fortunately, Liu Ximing also knew that today was mainly about the reform of the administration. After scolding, his face finally returned to calm and said:

"This statement is not directed at you personally. Before joining the court as an official, our cabinet was also a young man with ambition. However, the officialdom was a pit of fame and fortune, which was enough to dye everyone a foul smell."

"It is precisely because of this that our cabinet has high hopes for you, and it is inevitable that it will be a little heavier tone. As the same goes, Huguang students still have many talents in our cabinet's mind. Don't worry, this cabinet will never cheat you because of the reform of the administration. Don't worry, just go and apply for the exam."

After Liu Ximing said that, a hint of difficulty appeared on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"This cabinet also knows that wealthy students are a minority after all, and many students now have difficulties in their families. In order to reflect our parents' desire to cherish their scholars, all the students who have successfully passed the exam will squeeze out some money and grain from the military expenses and give each student a special allowance of about two cents."

"Teacher is serious?"

As soon as Liu Xi ordered this, many students asked in surprise with joy.

Even some people who don’t care much about money and food all smile, which shows that Mr. Liu is sincere.

Liu Ximing turned his hands behind his back, and the cabinet's second-in-commissioned aura was full of energy.

"As the prime minister of the court, how could this court do such a move that goes against your word? Don't worry."

"Wow"

"Thank you, my elders, for your kindness!"

Looking at Liu Ximing and others who turned around and left after saying that, Xiong Bolong looked up at the Drum Tower and fell silent.

He looked at his friends, Tan Fengzhen, Tan Mingjin, Zhang Sanyi, Zhang Luru.

"Brother Mingjin, Brother Lu Ru, what do you think about this recruitment of officials?"

Zhang Sanyi was the one who had previously left a place for Xiong Bolong and others in the crowd. Seeing Xiong Bolong ask a question, he smashed his mouth and said:

"You don't really want to apply to this Lao Shizi clerk. Isn't it better to have this skill and worry about the imperial examination more often?"

Xiong Bolong was about to speak, but suddenly he looked at the other students around him who were watching and discussing.

Tan Fengzhen, Zhang Sanyi and others came out of the Drum Tower.

A few people walked around the Yellow Crane Tower and sat down at the tea stall with few people.

After the tea stall owner came to serve tea, several people told him not to disturb him and started chatting while drinking tea.

"It's true," Xiong Bolong picked up the thick tea bowl and took a sip. "Brother I thought, this imperial examination might not be reliable."

Zhang Sanyi took a breath and said, "Hiss, what do you mean?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Tan Fengzhen's expression of deep agreement.

Zhang San immediately showed a look of horror on his face, and pointed at Xiong Bolong and stuttered:

"Can you think the court wants..."

"To be finished?" Zhang Sanyi looked around again, leaned his head towards the table and spoke carefully and whispered.

"It's not that we think, but that's the truth right now," Xiong Bolong sighed again.

"Now the trespass has become king in Henan. It is said that he had defeated the three-sided governor Sun Chuanting a while ago. Now he owns most of Henan and Shaanxi, and is advancing towards Shanxi."

"As for the south, Zhang Xianzhong, a traitor, also became king in Changsha. Most of Nanhuguang and Jiangxi were occupied by him. No matter how you look at this situation, it is a typical chaotic era. At this time, why should we join in the court?"

"But, but, didn't Mr. Liu defeat the bandits several times and defend Wuchang City? Doesn't this mean that the court still has a chance?"

Zhang Sanyi was still unable to accept the fact that the imperial pill was still a little bit, and immediately subconsciously retorted.

Xiong Bolong smiled bitterly, "Old Liu Ge Lao is indeed a genius, but it is said that although he blocked the bandits and lost tens of thousands of troops under his command, he has no spare energy to counterattack."

"But the thieves are different. Now there are people in the world who can't eat enough. Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits can raise a group of people wherever they go. Otherwise, how could the bandits be suppressed for more than ten years, and the bandits will grow stronger and stronger?"

"Brother Yu hadn't thought so before, but after Zhang and Li thieves successively became kings, they suddenly realized that the world was in danger."

While suppressing the panic in his heart, Zhang Sanyi said strangely: "But in this case, isn't it even worse to take the exam for such a clerk? If a thief comes, wouldn't we become a ghost under the knife?"

Tan Fengzhen, who was silent on the side, suddenly smiled and continued, "Old Zhang, Lao Zhang, you are confused."

"That's right, now Mr. Liu doesn't have enough troops to fight back against the bandits, but now in the Central Plains, the chief official in the border area still has troops and horses. He can't beat the bandits, but the bandits can't beat him. At this time, Huguang is the most peaceful."
