Zhao Yun smiled and said: "When Qin Shihuang was still alive, he probably would not have believed that anyone in the Qin Dynasty would dare to rebel. His legacy will be passed down to the second, third, and eternal generations. But what will be the result?"
Chen Guiyi understood what Zhao Yun meant, looked serious, and listened carefully.
Zhao Yun continued: "If we want the descendants of Genghis Khan to abide by the covenant, the only way we can rely on it is that we, the Song Dynasty, have sufficient counterattack capabilities. If not, then this covenant is no different from a piece of waste paper."
Chen Guiyi raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear whether the new law will proceed to the next stage."
"Yes, the farmland-to-household law has been fully implemented. The court has gained the trust of the people. After they have enough food and clothing, they will have the ability and intention to educate the next generation. The second step of the new law will follow. We will
Implement the compulsory teaching law nationwide.”
Chen Guiyi was surprised. The compulsory teaching method means that children from ordinary families have the opportunity to study for free!
Children from poor families are not only sons and daughters, but also important free laborers. As long as they are fed until they can walk and move, they will have to take on the tasks of taking care of their younger siblings, helping with housework, and working in the fields. Even though they are only half-grown children,
children, but they are already an important force supporting the family.
Therefore, children who can study usually have good family conditions and do not need to contribute to the family, or their parents have to support them at all costs.
Ordinary families would not think of sending their children to study, because they are worried that it will affect family life and the food harvest, and that the family will not be able to survive. At this time, even if there is no money to study, they may not send them.
But now, because of the farmland-to-household law, each family has been allocated thirty acres of land. Living conditions have been greatly improved, and there are guarantees. The compulsory teaching law has been implemented. This condition has gradually matured.
Zhao Yun stopped and pointed at the people coming and going outside the palace, including palace maids, small yellow gates, and imperial guards in front of the palace. Zhao Yun said: "Many of them are illiterate. If I give them handwriting
I believe not many people can understand an edict. If there is any important matter, it will be delayed or even counterproductive. The same situation applies to the whole army and the whole country."
Chen Guiyi deeply agreed and admired Zhao Yun's long-term vision. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise. This is why China has survived for thousands of years. Cultural inheritance is the foundation. If every child can understand literature,
Hyphenation means that, on the one hand, Chinese culture will be passed on endlessly, and on the other hand, in our Song Dynasty, talents will emerge in large numbers, the country will be prosperous, and we will be able to make the country rich and strong and have a strong military."
Having said this, Chen Guiyi added: "However, training students does not happen overnight. Your Majesty must have long-term patience."
"Hehehe,,,"
Zhao Yun laughed a few times and said: "I have said long ago that reform is not something that can happen overnight, nor is it something that can be done by one person or one place, so why should we be impatient? It is best if our generation can complete it. If not,
The next generation will continue to implement it. In a word, you and I, our monarchs and ministers, will fight to the death against this stubborn disease."
Chen Guiyi was excited and solemnly raised his hand to Zhao Yun and said: "It is a great blessing for me and the whole world to have your Majesty like you."
Zhao Yun happily held Chen Guiyi's wrist and said to him: "I also send this sentence to you. It is my luck and the world's luck to have a minister like you."
After leaving, Chen Guiyi immediately found Chen Longzhi and Li Zongmian and relayed Zhao Yun's words to them. After listening to them, they were both excited.
Chen Longzhi said excitedly: "The courage of officials is rare in ancient and modern times. If all the children in the world can read and understand the righteousness, our Song Dynasty culture will be brilliant and prosperous, and our national power will also explode."
Li Zongmian was also convinced. He clapped his hands and praised: "This move by the officials will not only broaden the people's wisdom, but will also give birth to a prosperous era. It is not far away that the Song Dynasty will regain the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
The three of them were excited and immediately began to study how to implement the compulsory teaching method. There were many details and they needed to be considered one by one. It would not be perfect in a short time, but the three of them were full of enthusiasm and high interest.
As for Zhao Yun, after Chen Guiyi left, he also took a rare break. He went to Cixiang Hall to talk to his mother for a while, and then went to the pond to fish and relax.
"Gao Shi, send Zhang Chu to see you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi agreed and quickly went to summon Zhang Chu in person.
Soon, Zhang Chu came, "I have met Your Majesty, young one."
Zhao Yun did not look back, he still looked at the fishhook, and said in a calm tone: "Zhang Chu, the Imperial City Division is in the Kingdom of Jin. Is there a branch office in Mongolia?"
Zhang Chu was stunned, and then reported the truth: "Back to Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division has some people in the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, but they have not yet established a branch office. If Your Majesty feels that it is necessary to set up one, I will start to handle it immediately."
"Of course it must be set up, and we must try our best to penetrate into the top management of the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, so that we can obtain important information. The sooner the better, don't be afraid of spending money."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I must select capable generals as soon as possible so that the Yamen of the Imperial City Division of the Mongolian Kingdom of Jin can be opened as soon as possible."
"Well, let's go down."
Zhang Chu hesitated on his face and did not leave.
Zhao Yun was slightly surprised, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?"
Zhang Chu knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Secretary accidentally found out some information about Wang Shuyun and Wang Mei's family, but I don't know whether I should report it to Your Majesty."
"explain."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are rumors that the eldest brother of Wang Meiren wants to be the governor of Fuzhou, the second brother wants to be the governor of Yangzhou, and the third brother wants to be the governor of Quanzhou. He can only take office after Wang Meiren gets married to Your Majesty. It is said that they are like this
The distribution was decided by drawing lots. I sent someone to find out about this matter, and it is indeed true."
Zhao Yun was surprised. These people really didn't regard themselves as outsiders, and they still used lots to determine the candidates for the three important governors. What did they think of the government?
What worries Zhao Yun even more is Wang Shuyun's character. As the old saying goes, if you don't belong to the same family, you won't be a family. If her brothers are like this, she probably won't be much better.
If a woman marries the wrong husband, she will end up with the wrong life. If a man marries the wrong wife, it will affect three generations, which is all suffering.
If Wang Shuyun was like her brother, it would be really difficult to handle.
"knew."
Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and then said to Zhang Chu: "Zhang Chu, go find a censor and ask him to hand over a report on the matter of Wang Meiren's brother."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will go and do it."
"Well, let's go down."
After Zhang Chu left, Zhao Yun fished for a while longer, but because of Wang Shuyun's incident, Zhao Yun was no longer in the mood for leisure. In the end, he simply put away his fishing rod and went back to his study.
