Chapter 566 Suddenly I discovered that there was a 25-year-old among them

It was not until dark in the afternoon that Dean Geng opened the gate of the academy and let the students from other schools go home. He also warned them again and again not to cause trouble, saying that the academy would not be responsible if any trouble happened to anyone.

Although many people are dissatisfied with President Geng's approach, they can only swallow their dissatisfaction.

Although President Geng did not say that he supports the new policy, everyone with a discerning eye knows that he does. It is impossible to ask him to take the lead in writing a letter.

Moreover, if anything happens to the students of the academy, Dean Geng will not take care of it. He has already made his attitude clear, and it is useless to ask for help further.

Gui Ge'er caught Sun Shan and immediately took over his bookcase. He rolled his eyes and whispered, "Brother Shan, it's so chaotic outside. We should go home early."

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Yes, don't go out these days, don't go anywhere. As for the orchids in Qingliang Mountain, ignore them for now and let Uncle Dali come back first."

Sun Shan was most afraid of running into people protesting on the street. If the government mistakenly thought he was participating in a protest, he would have no place to appeal for justice.

Sun Shan took Gui Ge'er to buy a lot of food, thinking that they would have enough to eat without going out.

The next day, when he returned to the academy, Song Junhua said in a panic, "Brother Sun, something big happened. Yesterday, Duke Xu's army fought with the tenants of the Wang family."

Sun Shan's face changed and he asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Another student immediately replied: "I heard that more than a dozen tenant farmers died, and a soldier also died."

Everyone's faces turned pale. They had never imagined the situation was so serious that people would die, and so many of them.

Song Junhua said anxiously, "I heard that Duke Xu was here in person today to measure the Wang family's land. It seems he will not give up until death."

Sun Shan and a group of students were very nervous. Who was Duke Xu?

Ruthless! Anyone who can climb to such a high position must be either ruthless or even more ruthless.

It seems that the new policy must be pushed forward, no matter how many people die.

One of the classmates asked, "My father also plans to let the tenant farmers guard the fields. If the government officials come to measure the land, they will fight back."

One classmate said this, and another classmate also said: "My father is the same. My family's land will never be measured by anyone. My father even said that he would go there himself, and whoever measures it will have to step over his dead body."

Everyone looked at the classmate at the same time, thinking that the father of this family was really ruthless, actually taking part in the battle personally.

Others were all tenant farmers, but his family was different. The first one to come out was actually the "big boss" behind the scenes.

Song Junhua also wanted to say that his grandfather and father were going to use their connections to have the senior official write a petition asking the emperor to revoke the decree and not implement these bullshit policies.

If the new policy is implemented, it will be like cutting into the flesh of their family, making their future life very difficult.

Song Junhua asked Sun Shan: "Brother Sun, tell me, can this new policy be pushed forward or withdrawn? If it continues like this, many people will surely die."

Sun Shan shook his head, then nodded and said, "I think the emperor will definitely push the new policy forward. As for the death of people, there will definitely be deaths, but we don't know who died."

One classmate asked directly: "Brother Sun, if your land is measured, what will you do?"

Sun Shan said very straightforwardly: "Then let's do whatever the government wants to do. I fully support it."

Everyone was stunned and stared at him with wide eyes.

Suddenly I discovered that there was a traitor among them!

Sun Shan said calmly, "We are small people, how can we fight against the imperial court? The new policy was issued by the emperor himself. The emperor is serious and will never take back the decree he has issued. If we insist on fighting, we will only become a stumbling block to the emperor's new policy, and the emperor will crush us without hesitation. Now Duke Xu represents the emperor, and what he does is what the emperor wants to do."

After a pause, he said earnestly, "Don't resist. Nanjing is the emperor's home. To put it bluntly, the emperor is a local boss in Nanjing, even more so than you. You can never defeat him."

Sun Shan looked at Song Junhua and whispered, "If you were in the remote countryside in the southwest, you wouldn't have listened. Imperial power doesn't extend to the countryside. But you are in Nanjing. If you don't listen, you'll die."

Sun Shan thought that they should give up the futile resistance because Nanjing was too close to the center of power.

As the saying goes, "Success and failure are both due to Xiao He."

When everyone heard what Sun Shan said, their faces turned pale.

In fact, they had thought of it a long time ago, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.

After hearing what Sun Shan said, they finally put their minds at ease.

Everyone kept silent and stopped talking. As for what to do at home, they didn't know either.

As his teacher had asked for leave, Sun Shan could only go to the library to read. However, he could not concentrate on reading. Finally, he told the guard that he was not feeling well and wanted to go home.

The guard was looking at Sun Shan, so he let the student in who had "complained" to the dean.

After all, Sun Shan is on the same page as the dean and is not the kind of bad student who would cause trouble.

Sun Shan was walking on the road and saw a noisy group of people. He was so scared that he quickly hid in an alley.

He waited until the crowd had passed before he dared to poke his head out.

I was looking for a small path to go home, and as I was walking, I wanted to turn off the main road and go back directly, but suddenly a group of people rushed out. They were obviously farmers, holding hoes, sickles, and axes, and they were walking towards the Yingtian Prefecture government office with great momentum.

Sun Shan was shocked. It was a big taboo to bring iron tools into the street.

Sun Shan was afraid of a riot, so he dared not walk on the main road. He turned many turns and finally appeared at the doorstep of his home, sweating and panting.

When Gui Geer opened the door and looked, he asked curiously, "Brother Shan, why are you leaving the hall so early?"

Sun Shan ran into the yard without saying a word and asked Gui Ge'er to close the door tightly.

Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali asked anxiously: "Ashan, what happened?"

Sun Shan felt relieved when he saw that all the Sun family members were there. He drank a bowl of water and told them what happened on the street.

Gui Ge'er said nervously, "Brother Shan, this is just like the villagers fighting for water. They all brought hoes and machetes. If they get excited, they will definitely fight and someone will die."

Gui Ge'er still remembers that when he was a child, the village chief led the villagers to fight for water from the neighboring village. As a result, they were beaten to a bloody pulp and he was so scared that he started crying.

However, ever since their Sunjia Village produced scholars and juren, there have been no incidents of water grabbing.

Sun Dali also said fearfully: "What should we do? What are those people doing in the government office?"

Sun Dali has been in the flower garden and has no idea what is happening outside.

He only knew about the new policy, but how could he, an illiterate farmer, know the specific content?

This morning, Gui Ge'er rushed over and told him to pack up and go home, not even to worry about Lanhua.

Sun Dali was very distressed. The orchids in his Sun family were growing well, and if they were not taken care of they would suffer a huge loss.

However, Sun Dali had no choice but to follow Sun Shan's orders.

The Juren master is much smarter than a peasant like him. There must be a reason for him to do this.

Sun Dali thought that he must listen to the advice of smart people so that he could avoid taking detours.
