Chapter 1294: Impressive
Zhu Houzhao's words always make people feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi was no longer surprised by Zhu Houzhao's strange words.
He knows what kind of virtue his son is. Everything is good, but he always makes amazing words and says something irrelevant.
In the past, Emperor Hongzhi was always angry about this. He was always talking nonsense regardless of the occasion. This was awesome.
But after fighting for so many years, he still has not made any progress. Obviously, he can't change it anymore. He won't change it, but he can't even beat it, so he can't fight it anymore, so he simply... had to compromise. Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi would automatically filter out any strange words of Zhu Houzhao, as if he had never heard of it.
But when Emperor Hongzhi heard that these White Lotus Sect bandits were trying to assassinate Fang Jifan, Emperor Hongzhi was very scared and trembled a little. His hands couldn't help but clenched his fists. His face became stern, he narrowed his eyes and looked down on Zhao Da, and snorted coldly from his nostrils.
"What a courageous thing. I treat the people as my sons on weekdays. Although I have some shortcomings, I have a clear conscience. You are so bold and reckless, it is extremely hateful." As he said that, he couldn't help but remain silent for a while, and then asked again.
"You are so rampant and crazy that you don't even want to kill the imperial officials. Is it because you have any injustice?"
Zhao Da was silent for a moment, his eyes were a little vague, but when he glanced at the prison officer who was escorting him, he shivered and said, "The villain was just an ordinary farmer before. Because of his piousness, he was always served by the leader, so he was promoted by him all the way. Planting crops was too hard, but there were people in the church to offer them."
This is the truth.
No other issues anymore.
Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to ask anymore, frowned in disgust, and said coldly: "Take him down, hand him over to the Jinyiwei, and send him to the imperial prison."
The prisoners did not neglect and took them down.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little anxious about Zhao Da’s answer. After all, there are many ambitious people in this world. As long as they can motivate the people, they can leave their production and use various banners to be appointed officials and make wishes within them. There will be deluded people who will support them.
After Zhao Da continued to escort, Emperor Hongzhi breathed a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh: "I think this is the so-called human heart."
With a sigh, Emperor Hongzhi continued to say.
"Therefore, the court still has a long way to go. Today, the White Lotus Sect will be destroyed. Tomorrow, there will be other Taoist sects to replace them. Although they cannot cause any rioters now, once the way of heaven changes, they will have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the prince and felt a little worried. He was in power, so these people were not harmful to him, and his son was a little bit like that. I think that even the White Lotus Sect could not make trouble, but what about his grandson and his great-grandson?
There are so many variables in this.
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel a little scared. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around everyone, and asked.
"What do you think of it?"
Mou Bin was standing aside, feeling ashamed to speak.
The Grand Jinyiwei is better than the Shuntian Mansion to capture the imperial prisoner. What else can I say now?
When Emperor Hongzhi saw Mou Bin beside him silent, he couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan with anticipation.
Fang Jifan said slowly: "Your Majesty, in addition to the prisoners and Xincheng Military Police, this people have also provided a lot of help. If they did not inform them and spy on the abnormalities around them at any time, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to capture these sect bandits."
Fang Jifan paused and said, "The Taoist sects like the White Lotus Sect are emerging one after another. If you want to solve the problem, the fundamental way is my ministers. Naturally, this education is not the same. In the past, the imperial court educated the people and only talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but how many people could understand it? In the opinion of me, reading can make sense. The so-called education is not something that can be done by relying on a few articles of benevolence, righteousness and morality to declare to the public. It is not a test of a few scholars and a few students in the prefectures. The fundamental way is to allow more people to enter school and study, and reading can make sense of ambition and reason, so naturally it is not easy to be deceived by others."
Emperor Hongzhi felt thoughtful when he heard the words, and then nodded again: "You continue talking."
Fang Jifan said: "In the past, scholars could only go to the imperial examinations. Therefore, for the common people, the route of the imperial examinations was really too narrow. In three years, how many Jinshi, how many Juren, or how many scholars could be admitted in the court? Such people are rare, and the people are poor, so naturally they dare not let their children study."
"Therefore, to promote this kind of education, the first thing to do is to do. The sons think there are three things: one: to vigorously build office schools and try their best to reduce the fees for studying; the second: to make the people richer, able to eat and wear well, and can barely support their children to study; the third is the most important thing is to let people truly see the benefits of reading. If it is just a kindness, righteousness and moral education, but not to tell people what they can get from studying, they think it is inappropriate. In the new city, people have developed a style of reading. It is not because they can participate in the imperial examinations, become scholars, and become juren, which will shine. Instead, there are too many positions in the new city and people need to do literature and ink. People who have read books not only have relatively leisurely work, but also have a large salary. Therefore, everyone is willing to let their children become such people."
"Your Majesty, the people of the Ming Dynasty are the most realistic. They never dared to have too high expectations and never had too high ambitions. For them, the matter of titles on the list is far away from the sky. What does that matter that is far away from the sky have to do with them? Only the real benefits of being close to the sky can make them make up their minds. Since His Royal Highness took charge of Shuntian Mansion, he has always regarded education as a top priority. In the capital, more than 100 primary schools and more than 30 vocational schools have been set up in the capital, and the functions of these prefectures and county schools have been changed to recruit scholars who want to learn great knowledge, and even introduced Xishan Academy to the old city and new city to open a joint school. Now, there are 130,000 children, young people and young people who are enrolled in Beijing."
Two hundred and thirty thousand people...
This... Emperor Hongzhi never paid attention to.
But now it sounds like this number is really scary.
Almost 40% of these people of the right age have entered school.
This requires a lot of money.
Emperor Hongzhi secretly planned in his heart, but had no answer, so he asked.
"Then how much money does it cost?"
Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness and the sons of the Crown Prince have also been bothered by this, but... the effect is pretty good. The Crown Prince and the sons of the Shuntian Mansion have allocated a group of people to unify the textbooks and manage the public schools. If the textbooks are unified, the books can be printed directly. There are many children entering the school. One teacher can lead dozens of people. Although it is not as good as a private school, it is actually the cost of the money being evenly distributed."
The reason why education in this era is expensive is not only because books are valuable, but also allowing children to study without production and lack of labor at home. Another problem is that there is no real public school or a unified standard for education. Once a standard is set, a teacher, with dozens of children, can give more opportunities for children to study.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "So that's the case. I don't know, is this the prince's idea or yours?"
Fang Jifan said: "Of course it was the result of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His hard work for education. His Royal Highness often told people that Shuntian Prefecture in Northern Zhili is the place of mercy and is at the foot of the emperor. If even here, there are few people who study, then it is the dereliction of duty by the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. His Royal Highness spent a lot of effort on public school affairs, and even every textbook was carefully selected by him."
Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little disbelief, but he couldn't help feeling relieved.
This was something that had never happened before. I didn't expect that my son would be the prefect here and he would actually do it.
Although Emperor Hongzhi didn't know how effective it was, the White Lotus Sect was destroyed in the backhand, which shows that the prince was somewhat capable.
The most important thing is that the prince can think of promoting education by promoting public schools. This itself means that the prince has a loving heart to the people and has gradually mastered the way of governing the country.
Emperor Hongzhi said with great interest: "What teaching materials are you going to take me to take a look."
Zhu Houzhao seemed a little embarrassed, standing still as if she was like a wooden stake.
However, the clerk of the ritual office standing in the corner in the hall hurriedly picked up a textbook.
Emperor Hongzhi saw that this was an extremely ordinary primary school book.
Emperor Hongzhi turned the first page, hey, there were illustrations on it.
In the painting is Zhu Houzhao riding on a horse, drawing a bow and drawing arrows.
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
Forget it, the prince is used to this kind of virtue.
Page 2.
Or illustration.
This time, Zhu Houzhao was holding a wrench next to the steam locomotive.
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
This is a bit unbearable, it's you again.
Emperor Hongzhi was patient and turned another page, why is it still you?
The third page is Zhu Houzhao knitted a sweater.
Page 4... Zhu Houzhao holding a scalpel in the silkworm chamber.
Page 5... Zhu Houzhao, who was farming, was serious and focused.
Page 6... Zhu Houzhao stroked a plowing ox and smiled, as if there was a dark connection between him and the ox. This page seemed to declare that Zhu Houzhao was a person who loved ox, and oxes were always related to agriculture.
Every page is full of Zhu Houzhao, either heroic, elegant, or focused...
Emperor Hongzhi took a breath, and he felt his heart was a little blocked.
Then he looked up at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was happy to him.
