Chapter 730 The Prince full of fighting spirit
Chai Rong's move can be called a thunderbolt.
From Guo Wuwei, dozens of officials were arrested, including the chief minister Wang Pu, who were angrily denounced by the emperor several times, asking him to rectify the administration, which was particularly important, and to return the pre-collected taxes to Hedong Farm. In addition, to abolish the "hezhu" and the court's procurement of supplies must be settled at market prices.
No matter whoever is exploited or bribed, they will be investigated to the end and will never be tolerated.
In addition, Chai Rong let go of the incident where the Yuma was fed poison and did not continue to investigate. What is even more surprising is that Zhang Yongde was named Zhongxin Bo, with a status of the same as Zhao Kuangyin. Obviously, this is compensation for the inspection after the inspection.
Moreover, Chai Rong was still on the morning court and smashed the stone tablet with the "Inspection and Being the Emperor" into pieces.
Facing his ministers, Chai Rong made a heartfelt statement that could be called a theory of gold and jade.
"I inherited the foundation of the previous emperor, raised a three-foot sword, wiped out the north and south, and unified the world. I safeguarded all the people, conquered the barbarians, and responded to the heaven and the people. I have a god and I will bless the great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of generations. The prophecy theory is not enough to represent the destiny of heaven. People with a heart will use the devil to deceive people's hearts and frame loyal and kindness. Their hearts will be punished! From now on, anyone who has made a monster to offer heavenly books, river maps, stone tablets, wooden boards and other monsters will be killed!"
His Majesty the Emperor's voice and harsh words finally set a tone for the chaotic court situation.
The civil officials did not dare to move around, and the military generals also calmed down.
It seems to have returned to a harmonious atmosphere.
But Zhao Pu knew clearly that some things would never be able to go back.
Champion Hou offered advice to His Majesty, but Chai Rong did not accept it.
This is the first time in many years!
No matter how many measures Chai Rong takes to make up for it, it cannot change the fact that His Majesty the Emperor no longer obeys the rules. Two powerful people will eventually conflict.
Only when they conflict can others have a way out.
Zhao Pu kept thinking in his heart that the only thing Chai Rong had not changed was to continue fighting... Should he write a letter now to support His Majesty in using troops against the Khitan?
There is no doubt that writing a letter at this time will definitely win the favor of the emperor, but it will inevitably offend the champion Hou. Ye Hua's current power can easily crush any minister, even if he is a heavenly official, he is just a bigger ant!
To be stable, be sure to be stable!
Zhao Pu knew that if you want to profit from the two tigers, you must have excellent patience, otherwise there will be danger of becoming a tiger poop... Three more days passed, and suddenly, news came from the palace that Chai Rong went to Ye's mansion to celebrate the birthday of Lao Fengjun!
Old Mrs. Ye is already 85 years old and can be regarded as a lucky person.
His Majesty the Emperor personally brought gifts to celebrate his birthday.
"I really didn't expect it! The emperor actually bowed his head first!" Zhao Pu shouted for luck. Fortunately, he didn't rush to write a letter, otherwise it would have been unimaginable. He secretly wiped his cold sweat and became more careful...
In Ye Mansion Flower Hall, Chai Rong was tasting the dark red wine with a smile on his face.
"The grape wine from the Western Regions, accompanied by a luminous cup, the wine and the instruments are beautiful. I haven't drunk so comfortably for a long time." Chai Rong smiled and said, "What's more, I have a thousand cups of wine when I meet my confidant, Ye Hua... Do you know why I don't want to set up a cooperative according to your method?"
"This... I am stupid." Ye Hua lowered his head and said respectfully.
Chai Rong snorted, "You are still pretending to be confused. I might as well say it clearly. I can't take care of it. I suddenly add so many officials. Although it's just a small village, if you do evil sincerely, it will be enough to destroy the people's families... I will not promote it without sufficient preparation."
“What about the pilot?”
Ye Hua suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, I seem to be too hasty to propose to establish a cooperative. But if you pilot it first and then promote it after success, is it feasible?"
Ye Hua paused and added: "Your Majesty, not only fighting against the outside world, but the population of Kaifeng has exceeded 2 million. So many people gather in the city, if there is no sufficient supply of food, there will be problems. If a cooperative is formed, the court can sign a supply and marketing agreement with the cooperative. In a good year, the grain prices will not plummet, and in a disaster year, the grain prices will not soar. In short, the scattered small peasant economy really cannot undertake huge tasks, whether it is fighting against the outside world or developing industry and commerce!"
Chai Rong pondered for a moment and smiled silently: "How could I object to Ye Qing's words of planning the country! Where are you going to pilot it, and who are you going to let this matter promote it!"
"Father!"
Crown Prince Guo Zongxun suddenly appeared in the flower hall, and he bowed and said, "If the father agrees, my son is willing to do this!"
Chai Rong frowned and glanced at the prince who was still slightly tender.
"This is a big matter that concerns the country. How can you, a child, do it?"
Guo Zongxun raised his head and thrust his chest, "Father, I am not a child anymore, and I have my own ideas!"
"Oh?" Chai Rong said: "Tell me, let my father see, how good are you?"
"Father, the son minister has been studying in the school and has followed Mr. Qi to increase his knowledge. Mr. Qi encourages the son minister to understand the world and be addicted to the knowledge of books. He has no idea about the people's livelihood and benefits, and is just a nerd."
Guo Zongxun is really different from before, and the little guy talks happily.
"The court not long ago, it was going to spend a lot of money to build schools and cultivate more talents. My sons thought that although the intention was good, it might not be as satisfactory as possible."
When the prince suddenly mentioned that he was studying hard, Chai Rong was really interested. He nodded and said, "What are the flaws?"
"Father, if you want to build a school, it is not enough for the court to pay, but the people are willing to send their children to school. For example, in a village, half of them are willing to let their children study, and the remaining half are unwilling to let their children go to school for various reasons. Perhaps in this village, they will not be able to set up a school."
Guo Zongxun is really not nonsense. Even though Qi Tongwen has such a great reputation and the treatment in the school is pretty good, there are some stubborn parents who arbitrarily believe that their children are not material for studying. Instead of wasting pen, ink, paper and inkstone and going to school to study, it is better to herd cattle at home, cut pig grass, take care of their younger brothers and sisters, and share their worries for their parents.
What else do you have to expect for a child in the countryside?
Just work for a few years, save some money, get married, and then your son inherits his father's business and continues to farm.
For thousands of years, ancestors have been through this. Some people want to change their families, but some people don’t want to!
It is very satisfying to be able to keep farming and have stuttering... Of course, with the development of the times, fewer and fewer such people will be, but it is undeniable that even in later generations, it will still exist, let alone the Great Zhou today!
"Father, if you set up a cooperative, you can use the collective balance to build a school, or let three or five cooperatives run a school together... In this way, the whole family can truly enter the school. Otherwise, no matter how much financial and material resources the court has put in, it will be just duckweed and cannot take root among the people!"
Guo Zongxun's discussion surprised Chai Rong quite a bit. He couldn't help looking at Ye Hua, "Is it that you gave it to him?"
Ye Hua waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I don't have it. This is what the Crown Prince thinks himself!"
Guo Zongxun hurriedly said, "Master forgot that he had asked his disciples to go to the vegetable market, and he felt that he had benefited a lot. In recent years, the school has been constantly arranging activities. Last year, the disciples went to the countryside to be a teacher for half a month to teach children in the mountain village. At that time, the disciples found that many parents believed that class was a waste of time. Even if the children were willing to study, they refused harshly... and no matter how the disciples said, they just refused."
"So Your Highness wanted to use the cooperative model to promote education?" Ye Hua asked Xinran.
Guo Zongxun nodded, "Disciple thinks that the countryside really needs to be completely changed, otherwise it will become a drag."
Chai Rong did not nod immediately, but just waved his hand and asked the prince to retreat.
Then he said to Ye Hua: "What do you think of the prince?"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "As a teacher, I think the prince can get out of the army!"
Chai Rong snorted, "Just rely on him, it's far from it!"
"I don't think so." Ye Hua insisted: "The so-called teacher leads the door and practices depends on the individual. As a teacher, what we need to teach students is learning methods. Wherever the book is placed, anyone can read it. Only by mastering the methods can you truly control the knowledge and use it for me. Otherwise, if you only know how to memorize, you will become a book that will breathe!"
No parent doesn’t like teachers to praise their children, even Chai Rong is so arrogant.
"Ye Qing, since that's the case, I will set up a state and experimental cooperative. Let the prince take charge, and you can check it out for him... As for the personnel needed, please find it from the school!"
With Chai Rong's words, Guo Zongxun's eyes were lit up excitedly. A few years ago, my uncle went to Khotan to comfort the Han people in the Western Regions. He could only study in school, and now he finally has the opportunity to show his skills!
Although it is only a state, it is a rare opportunity. No matter what, you must achieve results and make your father admire you!
"Your Highness, these are three prefectures and counties with better conditions, Songzhou, Daming Prefecture, and Chanzhou. If your Highness is not satisfied, Suzhou and Hangzhou are also fine, and you can also go and have fun!" Zhao Er said with a smile.
Guo Zongxun shook his head like a rattle, "I'm going to do things, not to go to the mountains and rivers. Besides, who would like to change the wealthy places easily?"
Guo Zongxun's eyes were wandering back and forth on the sand table, and finally landed in one place, "I'll choose this!"
Zhao Er looked at him and was stunned, "Your Highness, this is the poorest place in Hebei. He has just suffered a disaster! I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
He looked at Ye Hua as if asking for help. At this time, Ye Hua also walked over and looked at the place where Guo Zongxun pointed...Yecheng!
In an instant, Ye Hua's pupils shrank and he smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, Yecheng is not only poor, but also veterans everywhere. Even officials are not sure!"
Chapter completed!
