Chapter 944 Let the people read books
The room was very quiet, the whole family was staring at Cheng Zheng, and the clothes outside were swaying, obviously a woman was listening.
Isn’t this common knowledge? Cheng Zheng was only fifteen years old, and shrank his neck, "These...we all know this in school, Ah Weng, why are you so surprised?"
Cheng Zhijie blushed slightly, "Only aristocratic and powerful families would think about these things..."
"You can know it in school."
Cheng Zheng felt that it was strange that the whole family made a fuss, "The upper level blocked the upward passage of the common people and treated the common people as cattle, sheep and animals. It will explode, and all seemingly high-ranking groups will be reduced to livestock, cattle and sheep in the hands of the people, and the heads of people will be killed..."
Huang Chao came once, and the Jin people came once during the Song Dynasty, and the courtiers sent them out on their own initiative; let alone the Ming Dynasty, the heads of the people who were killed were rolling...
"Zhenger!"
Princess Qinghe, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, came out with a pale complexion, "You can't say such things!"
Cheng Zhijie coughed dryly, "Just talk."
What a princess... cowardly as a mouse!
Cheng Zheng always liked to show off, and with the support of his grandfather, he said triumphantly: "Sir, I asked a question: What did the ancestors of those high-ranking families today do? They were also farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen... But after a sudden change , they began to despise the identity of their ancestors, this is called counting the classics and forgetting the ancestors!"
Xiao Jia...too sharp!
Cheng Zhijie couldn't help feeling a fever down his spine.
"Mr. also said that times have changed, and those in power are desperately trying to block the passage for the people below to go upward, but they themselves don't know the truth that stagnant water will inevitably rot."
Cheng Zhijie asked encouragingly: "Then what do you think of our family?"
"Our family is also a pool of stagnant water." Cheng Zheng has long thought about this matter, "Ah Weng is famous, but the more famous he is, the more cautious he is. I think it's better to be calm... If you want to join the army, you can join the army. Just Congwen... the important thing is not to get together with those families."
Cheng Zhijie suddenly shuddered.
"Holding together..."
"Yes." Cheng Zheng seemed lazy, but he never let go of what he should learn, "Ah Weng, what the emperor fears is never a single family name, but those families that are huddled together."
He glanced at Cheng Chuliang, "Aye used to say that you can be strong only by hugging together, but this strength is just lingering. It has continued the wealth of the Cheng family, but the wealth is earned by yourself, relying on holding groups with other families... that and the eldest grandson What's the difference between Wuji and those people?"
Cheng Chu came up with a slap.
How dare you accuse Lao Tzu...Earwax won't kill you!
Snapped!
Cheng Chuliang jumped up, and a water glass at his feet shattered.
Cheng Zhijie scolded: "Where is the child wrong? The Cheng family is like this. At the beginning, the old man thought that he could preserve the prosperity and wealth of the Cheng family, but now he thinks about it. It seems to be rich, but he is a wealthy idler, and even an emperor. A thorn in my side..."
Damn it!
The old man actually ignored this point!
is intentional!
Cheng Zhijie knew that he had ignored this on purpose.
He was worried that after he left, his children and grandchildren would not be able to carry the banner of the Cheng family, so he could only seek allies... His wife was from the Qinghe Cui family, so this is the best candidate.
After he left, the descendants and grandchildren would be able to become vassals of those families through the Qinghe Cui family, so the wealth and honor would naturally be preserved.
But it is a pool of stagnant water!
Cheng Chumo said angrily: "Zheng'er said it lightly, but if they don't form a group, who will guarantee the future of the Cheng family?"
Cheng Zheng blinked, "Why do you want to guarantee it? Isn't everyone's future made by themselves?"
The family can help, but the most important thing is that you have to be capable!
Such a simple truth, why doesn't the family understand it?
Cheng Zheng noticed that the eyes of those relatives had changed.
became a little strange.
"Let's all go."
Cheng Zhijie looked a little tired.
Cheng Zheng followed his parents back.
"You, you!"
Princess Qinghe said with a headache: "Just after learning a little superficiality, he speaks nonsense. From ancient times to the present, which family has not sought allies?"
"But that's a pool of stagnant water!" Cheng Zheng poked his neck and said, "Mother, a small group of people control knowledge in a country. This is not a long-term solution. Meat eaters are despicable. In the eyes of those people, the interests of the family come first. So how can the country and the country be the most important? Such people hold power for a long time, which dynasty can last for a long time?"
Cheng Chuliang walked in front, and suddenly stopped and said: "I remember Jia Ping'an said something, saying that after the common people become officials, they will be more greedy than anyone else when they suddenly get rich..."
"That requires the use of laws to check and balance them, not just giving up because of choking."
Cheng Chuliang: "..."
Princess Qinghe covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
Cheng Chuliang couldn't hold back his face anymore, "Let go of the passage for the common people to come up, how can there be so many official positions for them?"
"A person who is short-witted, a commoner who reads well and knows how to calculate things and arithmetic, how much more wealth can he create than a commoner who is ignorant and only knows how to farm?"
Cheng Zheng gave an example, "There is a student named Zhang Meng in our school. His parents are hard-working, and he does low-class work. But Zhang Meng worked hard, and now he is very popular in the Ministry of Industry...
If he also goes to wash dishes with his father, Aye, think about it, a commoner who only knows how to wash dishes, or an official who can build for the Tang Dynasty and save a lot of money and food for the Tang Dynasty, which one do you think is better? "
Well!
Cheng Chuliang coughed dryly, "Hurry up... go eat first."
Princess Qinghe couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
"Mr. said the term demographic dividend. If most of the people in Datang had read books and knew how to calculate things, they would be able to create more wealth. As personal wealth increases, the wealth of the country will also increase, and Datang will become more and more prosperous. The prosperity of the small river... This is called the small river swollen and the big river full, and the small river without water and the big river dry up."
The young man was full of enthusiasm, and his voice was sonorous and forceful, "The Tang Dynasty should allow an outstanding craftsman to counterattack and become the minister of the Ministry of Industry, allow an outstanding farmer to counterattack and become the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and allow an outstanding sergeant to counterattack and become the commander of the army. …Flowing water does not rot, when the talents of Datang come out continuously, who is still the opponent of Datang?"
Cheng Chuliang intentionally stayed behind, and after Cheng Zheng entered, he said to Princess Qinghe: "Although these words are harsh, I thought about it carefully, but I couldn't find anything to refute... Zheng'er used to be a **** at home. Dude, flying eagles and horses all day long, I have long given up hope, I never thought that after entering the new school, I would learn such skills..."
Princess Qinghe said quietly: "These are the words of the temple, and the insights that the prime ministers can only have, but they are flooded in the new learning..."
"Jia Ping'an has filled the streets with this knowledge..."
Cheng Chuliang thought it was absurd, "If those common people read books, will they look at us respectfully in the future?"
…
"...running water does not rot?"
In the early morning of the second day, Li Zhi received the dispute from the Cheng family yesterday.
"yes."
Shen Qiu took the opportunity of the emperor's bewilderment to touch his hair, "Cheng Zheng said that the Tang Dynasty should allow an outstanding farmer to become the secretary of the household department, and allow..."
Li Zhi is listening.
Suddenly he felt that breakfast was not delicious.
"Your Majesty."
The queen came with a big belly.
Li Zhi looked quite startled, "Be careful."
After sitting down, Wu Mei asked: "Your Majesty seems to be out of order, but is there something wrong?"
Li Zhi said: "Do you know Cheng Zheng, the grandson of Duke Lu's family?"
"A dude."
Wu Mei has also paid attention to the descendants of the old men, but none of them can be of great use.
"Yesterday, Cheng Zhijie convened a discussion with his children and grandchildren, and mentioned the future of the family. Cheng Zheng came back from school and said that the biggest problem with the Cheng family was not causing the emperor's taboo, but Cheng's being with those families... This is what makes the emperor taboo."
Wu Mei was surprised, "This dude actually has such insight?"
"I'm going to ask your younger brother." Li Zhi didn't know whether to be happy or angry, "Do you know what he taught in mathematics? What Cheng Zheng said yesterday not only mentioned the aristocratic family He even compared them to carnivores. He veiledly accused me of blocking the upward passage of the common people, so that the upper class of the Tang Dynasty was a pool of stagnant water..."
"It is those aristocratic and powerful families who block the upward passage of the common people."
Wu Mei frowned, "There are so many benefits, those people are naturally unwilling to let the common people share them. Moreover, the common people are ignorant, how can talents be produced...not right!"
Li Zhi looked at her, "You know it too. Your younger brother is giving me advice in disguise... If you want to break the current deadlock, the best way is to let the people read books. When countless people who have read books appear, All civil servants, military generals, and great craftsmen will continue to emerge."
Wu Mei gritted her teeth and said: "If you have something to say, can't you just say it? You have to go around the corner."
"Who will listen to him if he doesn't go around?" Li Zhi understood Jia Ping's painstaking efforts, "Those people don't want others to share the benefits. All the important ministers prevaricated him by saying that there is no money. But he did not give up, saying that there is a mountain of silver in the Wa country. Mei Niang, if he really found the mountain of silver, who can refuse when he proposes that the court subsidizes the people to study?"
Wu Mei gasped, "This little **** has such a far-reaching plan..."
Her eyebrows were raised upside down, "Shao Peng, go and call Ping An."
Xiao Jia is going to be unlucky... Shaopeng hurried to go.
"People in the world are afraid that they will be restless."
Wu Mei's complexion changed slightly.
"After the people read books, they will know many things, and it will be difficult to drive them at will."
Li Zhi nodded, "But what kind of Tang Dynasty do I want?"
He was thinking.
"If this Great Tang is still controlled by those aristocratic families, powerful and powerful, and the people are still like cattle and horses... Meiniang, such a Great Tang may prosper for a long time?"
Wu Mei shook her head, "No. The former Han Dynasty is an example. After the Han Dynasty and Wu Dynasty, the former Han Dynasty declined and eventually collapsed. Of course, it was because of Emperor Wu's extravagant spending, but those dignitaries couldn't escape the responsibility. After Guangwu Zhongxing, it still gradually went downhill. ...the aristocratic families, the powerful and powerful ruled the Han, and the people were like cattle and horses...In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore...The yellow scarves made chaos, and those aristocratic families took advantage of the situation to disrupt the Han Dynasty..."
Li Zhi sneered and said: "Look at the chaos before the fall of the big man. Who are the people who are waving the flag and shouting, who are biting the big man? Those are the families, powerful and powerful. Those people are all gluttonous. Under the face, there is a desire that can never be satisfied..."
Jia Ping'an is here.
The Empress looked... something was wrong with her expression!
Jia Ping'an muttered in his heart, and saluted very honestly.
Wu Mei looked at him, and suddenly sighed: "You are getting more and more promising."
Well!
Jia Pingan didn't know, so he could only pretend to be a dead dog.
Wu Mei asked: "You taught a social lesson in Xinxue, what is it teaching?"
"The structure of the Tang Dynasty."
Jia Pingan did not expect this to be the problem, "Students want to have a clear understanding of this world, astronomy and geography are only one aspect, the most important thing is to let them know the structure of the Tang Dynasty, so that the whole world can no longer hide. Only then can the eyes be clear and the heart clear, and there will be no more confusion."
"Did you know that Cheng Zheng's words shocked the Cheng family just last night."
Well!
What did that dude say?
"He said…"
Jia Ping'an became more and more surprised the more he listened.
"Sister, these are common knowledge!"
Wu Mei gritted her teeth and glanced at the gate of the palace, "Ask those officials, how many of them know this? This kind of secret knowledge is well known in Xinxue, you..."
Jia Pingan knew that he was negligent, but he did it on purpose.
Later generations have a lot of knowledge about social structure, which can be seen in various media, making it clear at a glance.
But this is from Datang!
Jia Pingan said: "Sister, the seniors of the new school have traveled all over the world, and have seen the poorest people and the most arrogant nobles. The people are like cattle and sheep, and the nobles are like gods...they have seen them The rise and fall of the dynasty."
"Those seniors are confused by this... They are also struggling to find a way to crack it."
"People?" Wu Mei asked.
Jia Pingan nodded, "Why can't the people of the world integrate into the world? Why let a small group of people control the power and wealth? Looking at the history books, those people enjoy the glory and wealth, and they will only become more greedy and short-sighted. They are in charge A dynasty will only decline in the end."
Meat eaters despicable!
This can only be deeply understood by reading more history books.
"Xinxue believes that human nature should not be underestimated. People are inherently evil and greedy! A kind person will be infected with a stench after a few laps in this circle of fame and fortune, and no one can escape... Those who can ignore fame and fortune How many people are there?"
"There are so many people in the world, why can we only choose talents for governing the country from a small group of people? Is it true that talents can only come from such families? No, I think that talents are more among the common people. And To make these talents stand out, the only way is to...read books!"
He detoured for many years, planning step by step for this, and finally came to today.
Let the people read books!
When people know the root of all things in the world through investigating things, when they know the structure of the world through social and other disciplines, when they can easily calculate those numbers...their vision will suddenly open up.
"After the common people study, they will think about how to make the fields richer, how to make the utensils stronger and sharper, how to make the seemingly inconspicuous steam work for me, and how to better defeat the enemy..."
"Your Majesty, there are countless talents in the world. In the past, the emperors also sought talents from the countryside, but that was more of an act. I also came from the countryside. Your Majesty values that I can stand here now. I am grateful for my sister's care. But if I don't have talent, I'm just a jester today!"
He bowed and left.
I’ve said the method, it’s up to you whether you do it or not.
Behind him, the empress looked deeply.
Jia Ping'an then went to Gao Yang.
Xincheng is also there, and the two women are talking about going to play horses tomorrow, and go to spring in the day after tomorrow.
"Does Xiao Jia want to go?"
Jia Pingan wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but Li Shuo said loudly, "Aye, you promised me..."
Huh!
Jia Pingan thought it was true.
"good."
Li Shuo happily said, "Then I'll go and bring my things."
Children also have many gadgets, Jia Pingan said with a smile: "I will help you."
The father and son were busy for a while, Li Shuo was sweating profusely, and said happily, "Aniang, let's go today."
Gao Yang couldn't help but smile, "I'll go the day after tomorrow."
Why!
The little doll sighed, and Jia Pingan rubbed the top of his head.
After having lunch here, Jia Pingan was going to Qujiang Pond, thinking on the way.
Why did Li Longji walk into a dead end?
On the surface, it seems that the reduction of land caused the collapse of the prefectural military system, and the recruitment system triggered the vassal town. But from a deep perspective, it has an inescapable responsibility with the ruling class.
"uncle!"
The elder nephew actually left the palace.
"Uncle!" Li Hong happily waved, and Jia Pingan rode over.
The accompanying thirty guards looked around vigilantly, and Jia Pingan asked, "Why are you leaving the palace?"
"Aye asked me to come out of the palace to see the people's sentiments."
Is this the emperor's response?
To let the people read books... first understand what the people are thinking.
This is a positive sign.
But the accompanying Zhang Song, Jiang Feng and others obviously disagreed.
"The prince should study." Jiang Feng was very melancholy, thinking that the emperor was letting the prince go.
"But this is the advocator who made the prince go out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments." Zhang Song pointed his chin at Jia Ping'an's back.
Jia Pingan joined in, and Zhang Song and others found that their status as the leader had changed, and they had become subordinates.
"Let's go outside the city, the city is at the foot of the emperor, what you say is not representative."
"Why?"
Li Hong was puzzled.
Jia Pingan said: "Where are the most people in the world?"
Li Hong didn't even think about it, "Countryside."
"Then we should go to the countryside to listen to the voices of the people."
"good!"
The prince looked serious.
The group bypassed Jiajiazhuang and Zhuangzi in Li Yifu, and Li Hong asked some questions.
Going further, it is far away from the water canal, and the land is a little barren.
A village leisurely appeared in sight.
"Just go here."
…
Ask for a monthly pass! !
Good night!
