With martyrdom or seeking fame and other various mentalities, starting from February, a large number of famous scholars and celebrities set off from all over the country, hired cars or rented boats, and rushed to Huaiyang one after another.

Thanks to the Huaiyang Business Company's greed for money, many of the carriages running on land have been changed from two wheels to four wheels. Although the four wheelers are shaking on the official road that has been disrepaired, the carriages equipped with steel or wooden shock absorbers are still much smoother than the two wheels that are directly on the axle. Passengers will not feel exhausted even if they sway inside for a whole day.

But the rent of this kind of four-wheeler is several times that of two-wheeler. This makes the renter more determined in his heart. Even if he tries five steps to splash blood, he must reveal Zhu Tuhu’s “equality” lie and expose his true face to the world.

As for passenger ships running in the water, many of them have been replaced with thick cloth sails. It is easier to adjust and the speed of the ship has increased a lot. It is just that the sailboats can no longer be the boss of the ship. They must pay a separate fee and the salary cannot be too low. After all, this thing cannot be played casually. If the operation is wrong, it may be the end of the ship being destroyed and the people being killed.

Therefore, the tragic disaster caused by the replacement of hard sails by some boat charterers has also become one of the crimes of Zhu butcher. He took human life in order to make money, so how could such a evil thief have the face to accuse the Mongol court? Although the Mongol court killed a little when he was founded, it did not use small profits to tempt the people to seek death. Moreover, the Mongol court has been respectful of the wise and nobles since the time of Emperor Shizu, and used "Mr. Luzhai" to establish the national principles. However, Zhu Chongjiu openly stepped on the way of Confucius and Mencius. (Note 1)

Under the jurisdiction of Huaiyang General Administration, after the beginning of spring, except for a small-scale battle with the local governments of the Mongolian Yuan in the south, the rest of the other places were stopped. Therefore, the checkpoints in and out were very relaxed. For passing vehicles and ships, they simply looked through whether there were long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and then they decisively let them go. They didn't care whether the passengers were local celebrities or found various excuses to blackmail. This made those who came from afar, in addition to being depressed, and involuntarily picked a thumbs up in their hearts. They felt that although Zhu Zhe Chongjiu was acting wildly, he had some tricks to control his subordinates, at least not like those in the Mongolian Yuan, who allowed corrupt officials to run rampantly.

However, the good impression was not maintained for a few days. When they arrived in Yangzhou in a row, their mood immediately became worse. The entire Huaiyang General Administration Office did not arrange anyone to come forward to receive famous scholars from all over the world. The only Jixian Pavilion was also full of "scendants" who came to join the General Administration Office, and no longer opened to scholars and celebrities who did not recommend them. Instead, all kinds of inns in the city welcomed the gentry from afar. However, the smiles on the faces of the inn owners and the friends seemed to have just picked up a big fat sheep butcher, which made everyone shudder.

The price of inns in the city is indeed very bitter. A set of houses with inside and outside rooms starts at 200 yuan per day. Even for a shabby room, regardless of the inside and outside, it costs more than 130 yuan per day even if it is a shabby room with inside and outside. As for the yard with garden, it is as high as the day. It really treats scholars from all over the country as idiots.

However, the chicken feather shops on the outskirts and docks are very cheap. You can rent a single room with only fifteen big treasures every day, while the shops are only one penny. But how could a famous scholar with ambition to die live in the same yard with a sweaty hawker stick? Isn’t that insulting his elegance? Even if he finally scolds the thief and dies, how can he meet the Master with lice?

Therefore, many scholars and celebrities, before they could find a suitable opportunity to "martyrdom", were beaten to death by the huge inn rent in Yangzhou City. However, those who were not very poor in their pockets settled in the inns in the city, were angry and found that they had no chance to see Zhu Tuhu.

Although Zhu Tuhuo kept saying in his declaration that "everyone is born equal", the gate of his Grand General Administration was not open to anyone at all. Even like Zhou Tingzhen and Zheng Yu, two long-famous Shilin Qiaochu, personally handed over the famous posts, did not receive the courtesy they deserved. Just a few words from Lu Peng, the mountain leader of Jixian Pavilion, came out to ask for a few questions and asked about the purpose of the visit, there was no reply at all. (Note 2)

"Since Zhu Zhe Chongjiu dares to talk about equality, he should have the courage to accept the questioning of Scholars in person. If you shrink like this, aren't you afraid that the people in the world will laugh at me?" Immediately, a scholar started to clamor at the door of the General Administration, asking the thieves inside to come out and listen to public opinion. As a result, after shouting twice, a large number of soldiers wearing black clothes, wooden sticks and scars on their faces were attracted, and they surrounded everyone.

At that moment, someone immediately remembered that Zhu Chongjiu was a thief. To reason with the thief was equivalent to seeking death. He was so scared that he had fought with bloodless faces. Some noble people knew that the time of martyrdom had arrived. He immediately cleaned up his clothes and recited the poem he had prepared in advance. As a result, both the two thiefs and the ones who were willing to die were busy for a long time. The group of soldiers wearing black clothes, either missing arms or few eyes, were full of murderous aura, but they didn't move at all...

The leader of the man in black looked quite gentle. He brought a sign and told everyone very seriously that there should be no noise around the Grand General Administration Office. If there is any public opinion, you can go to the relevant departments in Yangzhou County to submit a post, and then wait for the county and government offices to approve it step by step. If it is a strategy for governing the country, you can write it first and go to Jixian Pavilion to submit it. If you simply want to read your views on current affairs and the Grand General Administration Office in public, please follow the instructions on the wooden board and go straight south. There is a political park on the bank of Baoyang Lake in the north of the city, with a special podium and seats in it for everyone to roar.

"Don't deceive each other with false words. If we run to the north of the city and talk to the lake, isn't it equivalent to telling ourselves? Since your chief manager claims to be "not guilty because of his words", why should he pretend to be deaf and make a joke?..." The famous scholars were dizzy when the man in black said, but because the other party held a stick and treated each other with courtesy, he at least called Zhu Chongjiu, the "Your Chief Manager". But he was even more indignant of the latter's behavior of stealing the bell.

Although the leader of the man in black had one arm, he seemed to have read a book for a few days. Hearing this, he raised his hand and saluted everyone, and then added with a kind look: "Please rest assured, everyone, the government affairs park in the north of the city has been open for a year and a half, and it is definitely not specially designed for you. If you really have the intention of helping the world, you might as well go over and take a look first. The rules inside are very clearly written. As long as your proposal can convince most of the people present, and you can get a joint sign for one thousand people every day for five days, you can directly send it to Su Changshi..."

"Is it Su Mingzhe? He is a man?" Someone among the scholars immediately spoke rudely. But soon, he was woken up by his colleagues from behind. This was in Yangzhou. Although Su Mingzhe was a gentleman, he had been stole as the chief of the General Administration for many years. He was Zhu Chongjiu's number one loyal dog. The letter of war was sent to him. Zhu Chongjiu must not be deaf and dumb anymore.

But it is not easy to get a joint signing of a thousand people every day for five consecutive days. Although there are thousands of scholars and celebrities who are dissatisfied with the harsh rule of Zhuzi, they can fight to Yangzhou and bear the high inn rent in Yangzhou, only seventy or eighty people are left. And these seventy or eighty people want to motivate ten times their followers in a remote yard? If they are not satisfied with it, they will not receive any response except for the sound of waves on the lake.

But as soon as this question was raised, it was laughed at by the men in black. "Hahaha, do you think that only you are reading and literacy? They are really a group of frogs in the well... Please, you should go and take a look before talking. Don't be blind, but you say it's dark..."

"If you go, go, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it..." How could all the scholars and celebrities be looked down upon by a group of soldiers with few arms and eyes? Immediately, I waved my swinging sleeves and prepared to rush to the Yizhengyuan in the north of the city. The man in black, who led the lead, kindly called them. "Don't be anxious, listen to me. There are public carriages in Yangzhou. Although they squeezed a little, there are two people going to the Yizhengyuan every quarter of an hour. Go to the pavilion in front and wait under the long pavilion in front. Then look up at the ringing bell on the cross street clock tower. At ten o'clock, it was the original Si Shi halfway point, and there should be a carriage coming. The one painted with green paint on it is, as long as a Tongbao, anyone can sit on it, and leave when it's full..."

"Hmph..." The scholars and celebrities frowned in anger. Wouldn't it be a shame to let scholars and peddlers ride in the same carriage? However, the other party was considered to be kind-hearted and could not put on too much airs. They had to thank them on the surface and then discuss where to rent a carriage.

Fortunately, in the Yangzhou city, in addition to the large public carriages painted green, there are also many four-wheelers who are driving private life. Seeing so many people gathered together, they knew that there was a big business to do. They all moved along the streets and transported them to their respective destinations one after another.

Not to mention the uneasiness and curiosity along the way, when we arrived at the Political Consultative Park, the scholars and celebrities immediately became angry and their eyes were filled with anger. There were platforms for everyone to speak generously in public, and there were more than one. Each was also equipped with a dedicated iron horn, for fear that the speaker's voice was not high enough. But what were there on the stage? Those with patches on their shoulders, those with straw sandals under their feet, and those who were bored and stopped with vegetables, and those with calluses in their hands were actually regarded as figures and started to discuss current affairs.

In an instant, many scholars forgot their original intentions and began to whisper. "If you don't even look at what you are, you actually want to give advice on Zhu Butcher Zhu... How can this military and national affairs be discussed by Bai Ding, the leader of Guizhou, betrayed?"

"Isn't it? It's said that Zhu Chongjiu is doing things in a wrong way. I think this is clearly a self-deprecating depravity. Throughout history, how can those who want to accomplish great things be blind?..."

While furious, I heard someone on the platform closest to everyone, shouting through the iron speaker: "Dear fellow villagers, they are all neighbors, so I don't talk much nonsense. Everyone knows that in Yangzhou, there is almost a lot of money in the fields. But no matter how much money is, we Yangzhou people have to make money first, right? But since last year, hundreds of people have traveled from south to north, and in the countryside and valleys, have been crowded to our Yangzhou every day. And when we come, we will not leave, and we have to pick and choose shops and workshops. We old Yangzhou have almost lost our jobs. How is this fair? If you want to tell me, we have to hand out a note to the prefect's office. If we are not locals, we can't come to the city to find things... Yangzhou is Yangzhou, which is from Yangzhou, not where anyone wants to come? You guys, am I right?"

"Yes...Boss Zhao, you're right..."

"Yangzhou is Yangzhou from Yangzhou. Get out of the countrymen, get out of the way..." The people waved their arms around and responded. For a moment, they were like thunderbolts in the clear sky, making people's ears buzzing.

"Is this also a discussion on politics?" Just as the scholars and celebrities had seen such a bustle somewhere else, they were stunned when they heard it. At this moment, on the nearby platform, another person raised the iron trumpet and shouted loudly: "Dear elders and fellow villagers, don't worry first, don't worry first... Everyone think about it, our General Manager Zhu is from Xuzhou. Our Prime Minister Luo is not from Yangzhou. If it weren't for them, everyone wouldn't say it now. To make money, some people don’t even have to beg for the hot food... This person cannot forget his original intention when he shakes himself. What’s wrong with the foreigners? Are the foreigners no longer humans? Their willingness to come to Yangzhou means that our chief manager wins the hearts of the people, and our Yangzhou people are righteous. The old saying goes, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. Our chief manager will definitely be the emperor in the future. We cannot make more money for our own pockets, which will ruin his big affairs..."

"Brother Liu is right..."

"Yes, General Manager Zhu has great kindness to us Yangzhou people, so we can't cause trouble for him..."

"Boss Zhao, why do you want to drive General Manager Zhu out?"

There was another echoing sound around, which made the bystanders dizzy.

The boss Zhao looked at his supporters, and was instantly pulled half of them away by the other party. He was so angry that he jumped up and shouted, "My man surnamed Liu, why are you bullshit? When did we say we wanted to drive General Manager Zhu away? You bastard, who doesn't know that your family took over half of the streets of Nancheng in the past year? Didn't you just want to rent a few more houses out? Why are you pretending to be thinking about the whole world..."

"You're just shit? Who doesn't know that you, Boss Zhao, have been cheated on your work and cheated several times?"

"Damn it, you dare to slander me. I beat you to death..." Boss Zhao was exposed in public, blushed. He immediately jumped off the platform, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to fight for Liu Er.

Liu Er was not a good person. When he saw that he wanted to use force to find Boss Zhao, he also lifted up his robe and jumped into the stands. He led a dozen minions and rushed towards the boss of the Zhao family and his accomplices.

Seeing the two sides fighting together, fists and shoes flying around. At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly rushed in, and the gong in their hands was as loud as the sky, "Dangdang, Dangdang, Dangdangdang... Then Zhao Daliu Er, don't let go? If you fight again, you will send you all to dig a ditch. Grandma, you haven't become a prescription yet, so you won't be allowed to speak. If you two become an official, how can you have a way out?..."

Note 1: Mr. Luzhai, who is Xu Heng, a native of Jin, advocated that "the country cannot be abolished in one day. If the superiors do not fulfill it, we ordinary people must also fulfill it.

". Later, he was highly valued by Kublai Khan and formulated the "national outline" for the Mongol Yuan. He also misinterpreted the Analects of Confucius, ignored the reality that the Mongol Yuan court divided the people into four levels, and came up with the strange theory that "the barbarians entered China and became China." This left a disaster for thousands of years.
