In the evening, the setting sun was like blood, shining brightly on the Qinhuai River, sparkling with charming charm.

The Qinhuai River has been lifted, and it is already crowded before it gets dark. The boats are like dragons, endless, laughter and joy rippling.

The brothels and choirs are filled with music, singing, laughter and laughter, and the sound of silk and bamboos lasts for more than ten miles.

Many scholars who have been admitted to the current subjects have been admitted to the tribute school, which has become more and more lively.

However, there is a "ban" that has always been in the hearts of almost everyone. It was posted by Qian Qianyi before that anyone who violates the ban on the court is prohibited from imperial examinations and enters the officialdom!

In the entire Ming Dynasty, many people said they had never visited brothels or hired prostitutes?

After this ban comes, at least 80% of people will be blocked outside.

"Brother Chen, how are you doing today? Did Lord Qian see you?"

"No, Brother Liu, what do you say on the Governor's Office?"

"Mr. Xu has never seen me wait. I heard that I am busy with the 'new policy' now, and I have handed over all the matters to Mr. Qian..."

"But, Lord Qian didn't wait for me. He has not shown up for the past few days. In previous years, the academic government has already given us a lecture."

"What should I do now?"

The group of people were worried. Although they were sure that the court would not really turn them out and would not allow them to enter the imperial examination, they could not feel at ease and remained uneasy without a day of determination.

Everyone was talking, arguing, even quarreling as usual.

On the one hand, some people think that the court is just symbolic and will not take serious action. After all, the emperor has never made a big fight in Nanzhili. On the other hand, some people think that the court may really forbid some people to kill chickens and warn monkeys. On the other hand, a small number of people are frightened, thinking that the court will take serious action and block all those who violate the ban.

After such a quarrel, everyone was uneasy, worried every day, and couldn't sleep. They were obviously here to wait for the imperial examination, but many people sneaked to the Qinhuai River to find comfort, sleeping in the flowers and willows, and never return home at night.

More than a dozen people were quarreling as usual, without any result, and they became more and more uneasy.

"Brother Yu, what do you think?" Suddenly, a man looked at the young man seventeen or eighteen who had been quiet not far away and was reading a book alone.

The eyes of a group of people suddenly looked over, and someone immediately continued, saying, "Yes, Brother Yu, you have always been keen on your eyes, I wonder what you think?"

"Brother Yu, let's talk about it, so that we can rest assured."

"Please give me advice from Brother Yu!" Everyone came over and said extremely politely.

"Brother Yu" who was watched by everyone was named Yu Chenglong. He participated in the imperial examination at the age of 15. Although he was defeated repeatedly, his talent was recognized. He often had unique insights into things, and many people were familiar with them.

Yu Chenglong was thin and fair, and he was surrounded by everyone and his expression was still calm and calm.

He turned a page of the book and said with a moment of contemplation: "I don't know."

Everyone was stunned and asked one person: "Does Brother Yu say "I don't know"? Does the court want to come to the real or fake?"

The group of people looked at Yu Chenglong with their eyes.

Yu Chenglong shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

The hearts of more than ten people suddenly fell to the bottom, and even Yu Chenglong could not guess, so they were even more dangerous.

"No, we must continue to go to the dear, and we must ask Lord Qian to come out and give us an explanation!"

At this moment, there are no high-ranking officials because they are all busy getting a piece of the "New Policy" and are breaking their heads into it. Nowadays, there are some small businessmen, gentry, etc. who cannot compete for the benefits. At this moment, they can only find some things to entertain, or drink to drown their sorrows.

"Han Junwai, I heard that the court wants to sort out the world's taxes. The tax and grain collected by us are not counted, and even the minimum rent for tenants..."

"I heard that it's not over yet. The Governor's Office has just established the Dutian Department, and is preparing to remeasure the land acres and register household registration..."

"Tax and grain are all good. I heard that the Du Taxation Department is planning a 'one tax law' to register all business registrations and collect taxes, and one tax of ten taxes is required!"

"Ten taxes are one, is there such a high tax? Is the court going to suppress merchants again?"

"No, the disaster is serious now and the treasury is empty. I must have tried every means to make a clever name and compete with the people for profit..."

"Hey, we have no choice but to do anything about these things. If we can't get a job, we may not have a peaceful life in the future."

"Haha, what can we do? So many old men and wealthy families, how could it be our turn? Wait. It won't take long before the Governor's Office will attack us."

"No, if this continues, our property must be confiscated. You said, can we be like the salt merchants, too..."

"Don't think about it, don't say that we don't have the strength of salt merchants. Even if we really have it, those old men will not sit idly by. Besides, the governor's yamen will definitely not allow a second time..."

A group of people on the table whispered and sighed.

Not long after, the "Auntie" led a group of young girls aged 16 or 7, and the atmosphere of the group suddenly became fierce, as if she had left everything behind.
