Li Dongyang felt that Fang Jifan was targeting him.

Even though Emperor Hongzhi was calm on his face, his heart skipped a little.

Why do you sound like mocking me?

Fang Jifan seemed very serious.

The three words "not knowing the people" are his greatest feelings for the monarch and ministers in the court.

Which of these people is extremely smart?

But people always have limitations. How could a person who grew up in a deep palace and a mansion understand what a villain who is in a remote place and has no place to stand on his feet is thinking?

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is indeed a wise man, but how many Confucian scholars in this temple know what these people who don't know big words look like? Not to mention that these people are arrogant, living in the capital, and being isolated from the people. Even the gentry and scholars in this place are afraid that few people really care about the thoughts of these common people."

Fang Jifan sighed: "Wang Shouren, a disciple of the son minister, has always emphasized empathy. How many people learned the word "sameness" from books, but in fact they still have no idea about this sameness. Some people proposed to publish more newspapers so that the people of the world know the benefits of Your Majesty's inspection."

"But the problem is that many people forget that more than 90% of the people in this world are ignorant of big words and ignorant of the people. They neither understand this mansion nor are they interested in reading it. It is because they are too far away from the temple, as if they are in the sky. A group of such people hope to use mansion to enlighten them and let them know the quality of Jingcha. Isn't this a matter of seeking fish from the wood?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang showed a look of shame.

Li Dongyang is such a smart person, but after all, he is a human being, and there will be blind spots in his thinking. In fact, this is no longer a matter of IQ, but because of his status and situation, he could not think of this at all.

There were countless smart people in ancient times. The articles and methods they wrote were so dazzling in this splendid river of history that people in later generations felt ashamed of themselves.

But as long as you are a person, you will have limitations. With limitations, you will have deviations from the perspective of looking at the problem.

Li Dongyang was not a narrow-minded person. At this time, he nodded calmly and said, "Yes, this method is indeed wonderful. It is admirable that the Duke of Qi practiced this method. But... is it useless to report the mansion?"

"The diary is useful." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "But... the diary is still on the official side after all, and it must be meticulous. This... is for officials of all sizes in the world to see. Officials can find the emperor's intentions from cautious and serious words, but for the vast majority of people, it is useless."

"The problem to be solved now is that officials and scholars can report the national policy of the court and the emperor's intentions through the residence, but no one except them understands it. Therefore, how to interpret the national policy and the holy heart has become the affairs of officials and scholars."

Fang Jifan said this and smiled with a deep meaning: "In the long run, the problem arises. There is only one emperor. Although the Sacred Heart is so merciful to the people, the people who are responsible for implementing and implementing the national policies and the Sacred Heart to the people of the world come and go, and there are always such people. Even if it is the Four Books and Five Classics, the interpretations are endless. During the Warring States Period, there were eight Confucian schools, which were also a work of the Analects of Confucius. The interpretations of the eight types of people were completely different. What’s more, it was His Majesty’s will?"

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was shocked. He suddenly realized that Fang Jifan had mentioned a fatal problem.

He looked at Fang Jifan with a tense face and said, "Continue and continue talking."

Fang Jifan said, "So, over the years, a terrible thing has happened. Any decree of the court and something harmful to the scholars will not be done. Not only will it not be done, but it will also be criticized. The scholars regard it as tyrannical. The censors opposed in the temple will follow one after another, and there are many parents and officials in the local area who distort the decree. Some of these are clearly beneficial to the people, but under the clamor of these people, they have become evil policies in the eyes of ordinary people."

"But if the decree is beneficial to scholars, everyone will praise it. Even if it is beneficial to ordinary people, it is actually harmful to ordinary people. However, ordinary people are willing to be taught by various missions. For the past 150 years, after Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen, did Your Majesty think that because of this, he complies with the will of the people, no one follows it or is opposed by others. The will of preferential treatment of scholars is thoroughly implemented. The court has taken the heart and treated them preferentially so that they do not have to pay taxes, making them rich in the local area. Over the years, with so many conveniences, the annexation of land has reached how many refugees have caused at the beginning, but it is still not enough. The preferential treatment given to scholars in the past is not missing, and it is still not enough. What they want... more!"

Emperor Hongzhi listened very seriously. Fang Jifan's words gave him great warning and made him tremble with excitement.

If you think about it carefully, isn’t that the case?

The scholars gradually evolved from the beginning of inheritance of poetry and books to become increasingly larger and larger gentry. They could be on par with local parents and officials and master public opinion. The court exempted taxes. Others had to pay money and grain and were responsible for corvee labor. Once the disaster year was in the year of disaster, they could not even eat. However, the scholars, because they did not need any cost, they relied on a large amount of savings to purchase a large amount of land at a low price.

Now, aren’t these trends that are too big to lose?

But...so what?

The emperor and the scholars ruled the world. Can Emperor Hongzhi leave these people? Without these people, how can we stabilize people's hearts and ensure local stability...

This is actually a very tangled issue, and Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were lit and dark.

Wu Jiawang, who was standing behind Emperor Hongzhi, was shocked and looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.

Fang Jifan naturally felt Wu Jiawang's gaze. He didn't care about this dog at all. It sounded scary, right? He just wanted to scare you to death.

"Since... that's the case, why not let the people who suffer in the world truly understand the holy will in this way? This opera troupe combines education and entertainment. Any measures that Your Majesty can love the people can be compiled into operas, and order the opera troupes everywhere to sing, so that the common people know what is right and who is wrong. The so-called education, Your Majesty can do it by himself... Why do you have to pass through others?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought of a detailed question and frowned: "Is it necessary to have a lot of money?"

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "In fact, there is no need to be too many. Let the Jiaofangsi recruit some musicians, a county troupe, and dozens of people are enough. These are all allocated by the court. From now on, if Your Majesty has any major strategies, let the Jiaofangsi specialize in collecting and editing the script. The script is very simple, as long as it is easy to understand, and then... I will ask someone to arrange the music and send it to various theater troupes for performances. The performances of the troupe can be free, in the county or

Wandering in the countryside, even if it is a place to dry the grain, you can go on stage. In addition, some people who are skilled in this way will be appointed as the officials of the troupes and let them inspect the theater troupes in various provinces, prefectures and counties. This will allow them to conduct some simple training for the theater troupes, and at the same time, let them rehearse new books. What your Majesty is thinking, what your Majesty wants to do, and why your Majesty wants to do these things, then... the people in this world can see it at a glance just by watching the play."

After pausing, Fang Jifan said again: "In addition, the troupe needs to be educated. They can compile some scripts about loyalty and filial piety and order local theaters to perform. The lives of the common people are already difficult and there is a play to watch, and they cannot be sought. I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. During the watching process, I generally know how Your Majesty loves the people, and I also know the benefits of this national policy. I use this method to pass on the government orders to the most remote places, even if it is...even if it is..."

Fang Jifan said, glanced at Zhao's mother not far away: "Even if it is a rural villager, the elderly women can make them understand what Jingcha is, and so... If someone tells them how Jingcha harms people, they will not believe it."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes also fell on Zhao's mother with Fang Jifan's eyes.

Zhao's mother was still happy at this time, and she was still muttering something to Zhao Er, and she was still addicted to the content of the drama just now.

Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously looked at it, and almost everyone was like this.

Just such a scene does not cost much.

But it made thousands of people suddenly attracted and talked about it, but the impact was far-reaching.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "It's so good, just think that's it. It's not bad. I don't know the people. Now I just know one or two. Jifan, you usually don't go out of the main gate and don't go out of the second gate, but why can you come up with these strange things?"

Fang Jifan said righteously: "Your Majesty, what I said is, my son... have the same opinion. The people in the deepest part of my heart are the people."

When Liu Jian and Li Dongyang heard this, their expressions were a little strange, and they always felt that they were strange when they heard this.

The Hanlin Wu Jiawang looked even more gloomy and wanted to say something at this time, but he didn't dare to say it, so he kept holding it in the end.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a better mood and couldn't help but smile and said, "Everyone said he loved the people, but I am the only one who followed the vassal to know the people. The pride of the people who love the people is like a crucian carp across the river. But the one who truly loves the people is the people who know the people. If you don't know why, you still say that you love the people, is not ridiculous? This method is good. If the troupe wants to build, the silver will be distributed by the treasury... The Jiaofangsi is responsible for this matter and recruits the people. I have nothing to be reluctant to give up the money. I just rely on the show just now to let people know the benefits of the Beijing inspection. For me, it is a thousand gold coins."
