Chen Yi raised his head curiously, looked at Chen Fangtian beside him and asked.
A smile appeared on Chen Fangtian's face, and he rubbed Chen Yi's forehead with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of action. What he wants is not for you to offer him incense, but for you to go to school well. When you grow up, you can help His Highness the Crown Prince govern the world!"
"Not bad! The talent His Royal Highness wants!"
After Chen Fangtian said this, Luo Xi happened to hear it. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, he raised his head, looked at Chen Fangtian and said.
"This brother is very knowledgeable and seems to have read a book! I don't know what to call him?"
After hearing what Luo Xi said, Chen Fangtian quickly saluted Luo Xi in front of him with a hint of apology on his face.
"Don't take it seriously, Teacher Luo. I, Chen Fangtian, only had a relatively well-off family when I was a child. My father had some money and paid some money to help me go to a private school and take classes for a year or two. I can't even say that I have read a book. !”
Chen Fangtian smiled bitterly and said to Luo Xi who was standing aside.
Luo Xi said with some emotion to Chen Fangtian in front of him: "Brother Chen is too humble. These days, there are not many people who are literate, let alone those who have attended a private school and received an orthodox education!"
Hearing Luo Xi's words, Chen Fangtian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"My good nephew looks smart and lively, he must be a good scholar!"
At this time, Luo Xi looked at Chen Yi who was standing aside, with a smile on his face, and said to Chen Fangtian in front of him.
"Chen Yi, call the teacher quickly!"
At this time, Chen Fangtian quickly said to Chen Yi.
"teacher!"
Chen Yi looked at Luo Xi in front of him curiously, and then said loudly.
"Hahahaha! It seems that I, Luo Xi, am quite lucky! I have accepted such a good student just after I came here!"
With a big smile on her face, Luo Xi said to Chen Yi in front of her.
"Chen Yi, I'll leave it to you!"
With a hint of respect on his face, Chen Fangtian said to Luo Xi in front of him.
"Don't worry! By helping Chen Yi study, I am helping myself! I will do my best! Not just Chen Yi, as long as there are students who have some academic potential and are willing to work hard, I will treat them equally!"
Luo Xi said slowly with a smile in her eyes.
"Thank you teacher!"
Chen Fangtian said quickly.
After saying that, Luo Xi turned around and went busy.
Looking at Luo Xi's back, a trace of trance flashed across Chen Fangtian's eyes.
My heart is full of complicated expressions.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings.
"father!"
Chen Yi next to him called him a look.
"Let's go back!"
Chen Fangtian sighed slightly and said to Chen Yi beside him.
"Okay, Dad!"
Of course, Chen Yi couldn't understand the complexity in Chen Fangtian's eyes. He just felt that he was very happy now.
Shandong was undergoing reform in full swing.
Some news about Shandong was constantly reported back to Jiangnan through the Huangming Bulletin.
It attracted the attention of the entire Jiangnan Shilin.
Some people felt that they were being humiliated by the imperial court's unified education for the people. They felt that they were being educated like mud-legged people. This kind of thing made them feel that it was degrading to be polite.
There are those who are against it, and there are naturally those who are in favor.
An article by Gu Yanwu was published in Jiangnan Shilin Newspaper, praising the prince's move.
"... Therefore, it is extremely important to enlighten the people's wisdom. Confucius once said that there is no distinction between education and distinction. This is the choice that Confucianism must follow. Among poor families, there are still saints like Yan Hui. Why should we discriminate against the people?
Those who discriminate against the common people think they are superior, but in fact, they are just a mayfly in the vicissitudes of life."
This article by Gu Yanwu instantly caused huge controversy.
The whole Jiangnan Shilin was noisy, but generally speaking, most people agreed with His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior.
Even the Donglin Report agreed with His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior. The only thing he opposed was his strong opposition to the unified payment of grain between officials and gentry implemented by His Highness the Crown Prince in Shandong.
Qian Yiqian even criticized it fiercely.
"This is bad government!"
Throughout the Jiangnan scholars, there were many people who criticized this article, and many officials and gentry also pointed their finger at this article.
But there are also people who argue that Shandong is now on the front line against intruders, and the power of intruders has basically cut off the distance between Shandong and Jiangnan.
His Royal Highness’s supplies can only be delivered by sea.
Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince had no choice but to do this!
There is still a lot of quarrel about this matter, and no one can convince anyone.
Everyone is arguing.
"What Gu Yanwu said is really good!"
Chongzhen looked at the Jiangnan Shilin Newspaper in front of him and said with some emotion in his eyes.
"He's actually a student of the Imperial College! Not bad!"
Chongzhen put down the newspaper in front of him, with a smile in his eyes.
These days, Chongzhen has basically developed the habit of reading newspapers.
"Wang Banban, is there any other news from the prince?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen who was standing aside.
"His Royal Highness, there is another news..."
Wang Chengen said, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"What??"
"The situation at Shanhaiguan may change dramatically?"
"What's wrong??"
When Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen's words, he was stunned for a moment. There was a puzzled look in his eyes as he looked at Wang Chengen in front of him.
"The Qing Dynasty sent Hong Chengchou to Shanhaiguan. It is said that he promised Wu Sangui a prince and ten thousand taels of gold."
"Prince!"
Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen was slightly shocked. This condition was a bit high!
"Higher than the duke we gave him! Is Wu Sangui really ready to surrender to the Qing Dynasty??"
For some reason, Chongzhen suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.
He always felt that if the Manchus were allowed to enter the Pass, the entire north would be exposed to the iron hoof of the Manchus. How would the north be recovered in the future?
How to regain Shenjing? How to regain Shanhaiguan?
Chongzhen frowned tightly, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Chongzhen suddenly thought of something. He quickly said to Wang Chengen in front of him: "Wang Banban, what other trump cards do we have? What should we do if Wu Sangui surrenders to the Qing Dynasty?"
Wang Chengen remained silent and did not speak.
He is an honest person, but sometimes he is too honest and cannot do things well.
Chongzhen's expression changed for a while, and finally he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"We can only wait and see what the prince does!"
Chongzhen sighed!
Regarding the public opinion turmoil in Jiangnan Shilin, Zhu Cixiang was in no mood to pay attention.
At this time, his eyes were fixed on Shanhaiguan, paying attention to every news from Zhu Er!
These news are both good and bad, but everything seems to be developing in a direction that is detrimental to Zhu Cixiang and the entire Ming Dynasty!
