Prefect Hu summoned his confidant to discuss overnight and quickly discussed the regulations.≥w. The first thing to do is to ban books with radical ideas, which are not allowed to be sold in bookstores or read in school.

Because there are books in various provinces, especially Liaodong, Shandong and Songjiang Prefecture, he was planning to issue documents and ask the various provincial governors to help clean up. As for the bookstores in the capital, Shuntian Prefecture can issue an edict. Any books with great rebellious words are not allowed to be sold. If anyone does not abide by them, the store will be closed at the least, and the law will be handled at the worst.

The government has always had routines in doing this. Almost every dynasty is the same. While explaining to the owners of each bookstore, they report the titles of the book to be filed for investigation, they ordered the constable to wait for open and secret investigations everywhere, and to catch a few birds to scare others. This is called grabbing both hands, and both hands must be strong.

At the order of the prefect of Shuntian, people from below flocked out, including the subordinate counties. In fact, there were bookstores everywhere, and it was impossible to completely investigate the ban on the prefect Hu alone. However, a notice was issued by the capital, so there was no need to worry about causing a series of chain reactions in the officialdom in various places. When the bookstore found out, it naturally did not dare to sell books.

The problem is that the constable knows what books are forbidden and what books are not forbidden? It is simply that new books from all these years are not allowed to be sold.

The number of bookstores in Jinling was the best in the world, and most of them were concentrated around the Gongyuan. In the Ming Dynasty, it was not profitable by selling books alone. Most of the bookstores in Gongyuan made money by selling poetry and exam questions for the imperial examinations. However, the imperial examinations only once every three years, and the poets were not cabbages, so their business was sluggish most of the time.

Many bookstores are required to introduce a few new books, and there are a few that are very impressive, such as "ugly Ming people", "Ming Dynasty is about to collapse", etc., and newspapers from various provinces are sold to maintain their daily livelihoods, which is not only one day.

Some people live by selling new books. The new books published in the store since the first year of Hongxi are all in all styles and colors. They have whatever they want. Every day, there are big characters to promote on the pink and white walls, which states that the store has books specially used for schools.

How many students can the Imperial College have? At its peak, it is only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. New students are taught without any distinction. They are indeed down-to-earth. They can not only learn some of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also learn some useful knowledge. For example, a few private schools even offer subjects such as carpenters, blacksmiths, and bricklayers, similar to skilled junior colleges in later generations. There is never a shortage of flexible speculators in this world.

Even if you don’t send your children to school, buy a few textbooks such as basic arithmetic natural history, and study at home. Families in the Confucian civilization circle have always attached the most importance to education. So they have attracted countless customers all year round, and gradually you will buy them too. I will buy them too, and it has become a trend. Everyone has to have a few books, otherwise they will lose face and make the bookstore overwhelmed and the business will be prosperous.

The business is particularly good this year. According to rumors, after the death of the emperor, the new emperor intends to increase the proportion of new students in the imperial examinations. The best of new students may be able to become officials.

For a moment, all kinds of new books were sold out. The people in the cultural circle were so happy that they couldn't stop counting money and cramping. Unexpectedly, a group of officials rushed in and drove away all the customers who bought the books without saying a word. They searched everywhere on the shelves and saw a book that they didn't like. They took it and left.

I didn't finish taking the book away, but I grabbed the owner or the accountant in the store and dragged it away. I didn't forget to take the account book.

In Xiaojia Village, the official officers who came out of the capital took all the bookstores to the Jiangning Prefecture Office. The prefect thought that this was created by Shuntian Prefecture. I didn’t have to wade into this muddy water and refused to accept it. I ordered the delivery to Shangyuan County for supervision.

When he arrived at the county, the county magistrate had to accept it. He immediately investigated it. There were fifteen large and small bookstores under his rule, and there were a total of twenty or thirty people who brought it. He ordered to be temporarily detained and reported to Shuntian Mansion immediately.

According to the current intention of Prefect Hu, since the matter has become a big deal, he might as well punish him, and the Ministry of Rites agreed.

However, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel spoke, saying that certain new books were misleading people's children and should have been prohibited from selling them, but the court did not issue a notice in advance to the people. How can those who sell books know? After the instructions were issued, they gave a list of **, which was strictly prohibited, even those books such as lewd lyrics and erotic songs. If they were not followed, they should be re-run according to the law, which would also be convinced by the people. If they are not taught at present, they would be punished without any advice.

Prefect Hu argued: "Those books are all ruthless, such as women equal rights, separation of powers, ending the whole family of one family, and so on. Those who dare to sell these books with great rebellious remarks should be re-run by such bookstores."

The minister couldn't help but get angry when he heard that he had to do it. Aren't you just relying on the prince? My court was not guilty for his words for less than twenty years, and you would be more incited than the Hongwu court? Can scholars still criticize current affairs in the future? Therefore, he said angrily: "The prefect must do it, so I ask you to do it, but I don't agree with it and will definitely write a letter to object."

Although the prefect Hu was a celebrity of the prince, the minister was his superior, and he didn't listen to what he said. He felt that the minister was angry and had to soften his wits. He ordered the owners of bookstores in Shangyuan to order the owners of bookstores to never sell reverse books. Violators would re-issued them and allowed them to be bailed.

All the searched books were placed under the lobby of Shuntian Mansion, waiting for the prefect Hu to read them personally, and then burn them to destroy them all.

After Xu Hao learned about this, he said intimately that what should come finally came. He didn't expect that suppressing progressive ideas would start with the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. He would have to burn books, so he would not be sure to "bury scholars" at any time.

Xu Hao ignored this. This was a normal natural law. Just as no dynasty could completely suppress people's thoughts, he did not intend to take the lead in fighting. Of course, he did not forget to write the name of Prefect Hu in Xiaohei's book. From then on, you will be our political enemy.

Seven days later, Shuntian Mansion burned a group of books with banned ideas and placed a list. Xiaoyu's students. According to these **, if they buy them mistakenly, they will surrender themselves and present them to avoid their mistakes. If they do not surrender, once they are found out in the future, they will not only be expelled from the church, but also be punished severely.

There are about four or five hundred books on the list, and almost all books are available in various ways, such as radical ideas, innovative ideas, equal rights ideas, Lao Tzu's idea of ​​governing inaction, restoring the nine-rank Zhongzheng family, and other things, such as Taoism, Buddhism, green religion, and absurd and unofficial novels.

Who doesn’t have many such books? Under the pressure of Shuntian Mansion and the intimidation of the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the supervisory and the students had to leave them out and destroyed them one after another. The parents all had a good time. Who dared to violate the king’s law and was kicked by a donkey in the head?

It is unknown to other provinces. In short, the vigorous ** incident in Jinling has come to an end for the time being. However, Prefect Hu failed to run various bookstores, which made the printed books and the author go to justice. He felt very regretful. This was undoubtedly a major flaw in this case and he was worried about it.

Of course, this matter was praised by Prince Zhu Zhanji and widely praised by the government and the country. Fortunately, the new school has not yet touched the interests of the feudal class, but has been more safeguarded, the national strength is booming and talents are emerging one after another.

The enlightened and tolerant atmosphere since the Hong Xi Dynasty would not be killed as long as there was no rebellion involved. After all, there was a lesson from the Jinyiwei. Nowadays, no one realized what these emerging things mean. The Ming people in Mongolia had their confidence and tolerance of the world, which was even better than in previous dynasties.

Prefect Hu is more about his own face. How can he not do things perfectly? Because the mere minister's words were said by a mere minister, it was really hurting his self-esteem.

It just so happened that one of hiss was Huang in the same year, and he was also from two lists. He has always been an aide to the Eastern Palace. He was just promoted by the prince to the Minister of Justice. Prefect Hu invited the other party to come to the banquet and asked him to help at the banquet. He had to run a few bookstores to save face.

The official position of Huang Shilang was recommended by the prefect Hu to the prince for him. Now that the same year has asked him to do things, how can he not do anything? Moreover, he can also use this matter to show his face.

After returning, Mr. Huang immediately sent someone to major bookstores to search for him. Even if there was a backer behind him, he would not dare to compete with Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice. Besides, no one could afford the crime of disobedience. Now he was so scared that he didn't even dare to sell any new books.

Even if some book shops still sell them, they dare not take out the slightly annoying books, for fear of being reported, and they have the momentum of the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty.

Prefect Hu was very happy. Finally, he made it so well that the people knew how to respect the authority of Shuntian Prefecture.

In recent years, the atmosphere of running schools has been booming, and the quality here is also uneven. From elementary school to university, there are those who graduated from six years, some who graduated from three years, some who run schools seriously, and some who cheat money. Various majors, even politics, law, and finance have emerged. It is unknown what is the relationship with Xu Hao here.

Most schools claim that if the school is completed, the court will definitely value it in the future and become useful people. The provinces send students to communicate with each other, just like modern students. Inland provinces like to send students to coastal provinces to study. Like traditional official scholars, those sent out by the government can be called official student, and those who spend money on their own can be called self-paid student.

When the government sent out, the local government sent officials to lead the way, and everything was better to take care of. Only a few fellow villagers took care of each other and formed a small group.

In the past two years, there have been quite a few people going to Liaodong to study, but with too many people, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad people. Some of them do not like to study. Some of them take advantage of the opportunity to study to go out to play, and some use the name of studying to deceive their parents, hoping to take out their family’s money for him to squander them.

When is this kind of person inevitable? Therefore, many young people who are unreasonable follow suit. When they come to Liaodong, they are so slogans that they spend their hard-earned money. They keep saying that I want to be the pioneers of the motherland. We are the masters of China, and they look like I am a new student and a pillar of the country. In fact, they have not learned anything. They are proficient in eating, drinking, betting and gambling.
