Section Two Hundred and Sixty-Fourth Western Han Dynasty Yuan Longping
Finally finished this class.
Zhang Tang felt his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the teapot and started drinking.
"Brother Zhang Shi!" Ning Cheng came over and cupped his hands and said, "I've finished the inspection over there. Today, there are four boys who can completely write the first chapter of "Cangjie Pian" with six crosses!"
Another person from the house also came over to report: "Zhang Sugeng, there are only three people here!"
Zhang Tang nodded after hearing this. At the same time, he looked helplessly at the manor behind him and shrugged his shoulders. To be honest, Zhang Tang felt that the prince wanted them to have a rank of more than 400 shi, come from a famous family, and be a dignified prince.
Sir, coming here to teach the descendants of farmers is really a bit...well, ridiculous!
Didn't Dr. Jia Yi Jia say that at the beginning?
The punishment is not as good as that of an official, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man!
Mud legs and whatnot, just farm hard, what do you want to study for?
As a Legalist, what Zhang Tang values most is the social class order, the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.
This is also a common problem among Legalists.
Otherwise, the twenty-first-level military merit lords of Qin and Han Dynasties would not have completely different social status and privileges between each level.
However, as the prince is the lord, the Legalist ministers must execute the lord’s orders even if they understand them, and they must execute them even if they don’t understand them!
Not long after, other subordinates also came back to report their respective results.
After listening to this, Zhang Tang ordered: "Everyone, write me a detailed document about what you learned and the results of today's teaching. In addition, you should also hand in the lesson preparation records. I will meet with my family and submit them to you later!"
"No!" Everyone bowed and each handed over a piece of white paper. Zhang Tang put the first piece of white paper together with his own.
Although Zhang Tang denounced the prince's order.
However, Zhang Tang was very interested in studying the teaching system created by the prince.
According to the order of the prince, the Ministry of Affairs, the Ministry of Menxia and the Ministry of Zhongshu took turns coming to this village to give elementary school lessons to the children.
The textbooks are all the same "Cangjie Pian".
In addition to the three ministers including the Crown Prince and the Tutor, everyone else in the palace must come here at least once a month to give lessons to the children.
Usually, there are about ten people at a time, one bishop and nine auxiliary teachers.
The bishop is responsible for explaining and teaching. The assistant teachers are responsible for the children in a "class". If the children do not understand something, they must do their best to answer and teach.
In addition, both bishops and assistant teachers must submit lesson preparation records and class records after each class.
The entire system is connected back and forth, ensuring classroom discipline and teacher ethics to the greatest extent. At least now, Zhang Tang has not found anyone who is lazy or slacking off.
Because all records will be submitted to the prince. It is said that the prince will review the submitted records every day.
In this way, anyone who dares to be lazy and slippery is undoubtedly the prince.
Zhang Tang even heard that some people would make elaborate preparation records and class records, using this method to save the country and gain a sense of presence in front of the prince.
Not to mention, someone actually succeeded...
Yan Yi and one of his subordinates named Zheng Shi were praised and rewarded by the prince for their good preparation and class records.
Each person was also rewarded with ten pieces of silk.
Although the reward is very light, it is of great significance. This further arouses many people's desire for competition and fame.
Even Zhang Tang spent a lot of time last night thinking about how to prepare lessons.
There is no way. In the officialdom, if you don't like you, there are many people who are willing to flatter you and flatter you.
The prince is also a human being and his energy is limited.
Pay more attention to others and less to yourself.
In the uterus of the prince, if you want to survive, you may even want to keep climbing up.
Just fight!
Compete with Yan Yi, compete with Ji An, compete with Ju Meng, compete with all competitors!
"I'm going to see my teacher..." Zhang Tang read all the lesson preparation records and class records. Good guy, everyone has put in a lot of effort. Like Ning Cheng, he even started to borrow words at the end of the lesson preparation records.
The experience of educating students began to explain their own political ideas and concepts.
Zhang Tang's face twitched slightly but he said nothing.
He knew that with his position as a leading commander and one of the provincial supervisors under his command, many people were watching him, and Ning Cheng was no different.
only……
"This is a good idea. I should learn to order it next time..." Zhang Tang thought to himself, silently put away the roll paper and walked towards Zhuangzi behind, giving instructions as he walked: "
You send all the children home according to the regulations, and you must watch them go home with your own eyes!"
This is also one of the prince's rules.
Each assistant teacher is responsible for sending his or her students to their parents.
Zhang Tang knew clearly that this was the prince's intention to build a memorial arch for his kindness.
It is also an opportunity to establish the image of the prince.
………………………………
Looking at Zhang Tang's retreating figure, Ning Cheng waved his hands and said, "Let's go, let's go. Let's all go and send the students home!"
So, the remaining nine people, each carrying twenty or thirty children of different ages, walked out of the Imperial Manor.
At the entrance of the Imperial Manor, the guards on duty carefully checked the entry and exit talismans of everyone, including the children.
To enter and exit the royal territory of the Han Dynasty, you need to have a registration certificate.
Because the boys did not have official palace registration and only had permission from the prince, they used bamboo talismans made of bamboo.
Their names, home addresses and parents' names are written on them.
What Ning Cheng got was a formal high-level copper talisman.
Not only is his name and place of origin written on it, but also his official position and apprenticeship. In addition, it also states the time when the bronze talisman was issued, the person who issued it, and the issuing department.
All of this is a strict system inherited from the Qin Dynasty.
Ning Cheng looked at the bronze talisman in his hand, and then at the remaining Qin Dynasty buildings in Shanglin Garden.
He sighed in his heart: "Qin is so powerful and its system is so perfect, how could it perish?"
However, he could only sigh in his heart. At this moment, the world belongs to the Liu family, and it will no longer belong to the Ying family.
While he was thinking this, the bamboo talismans of the children he brought with him were also tested - this kind of thing was just a procedure, just a false story.
So, Ning Cheng took his nearly thirty students and got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago. He began the escort work.
This was the first time Ning Cheng had done this job in his life.
To be honest, Ning Cheng felt very uncomfortable!
In the past, when he was working as a government servant in his hometown of Nanyang, when he went out, farmers and the like would respectfully shout: "Ning Husband" or "Ning Dalang" when they saw him.
No one dared to prance in front of him.
But at this moment, when he got on the carriage's shaft, all the students in the carriage immediately bowed respectfully: "Teacher!"
Ning He frowned slightly.
He worked so hard to come to Chang'an from Nanyang, passed the examination, passed five tests and defeated six generals, not just to be a nanny for a group of weak-legged children!
But there is no way, who said this is the prince's order?
Ning Cheng coughed and said with a straight face: "Everyone is seated..."
"No! Teacher!" the children bowed in unison.
Ning Cheng saw two boys who looked to be only four or five years old in the crowd. They had big, clear, black eyes blinking on their red faces.
For these ten or twenty days, these boys were able to eat one meal every day in the prince's palace.
Therefore, basically my face became radiant and my body gradually became stronger.
"What a good life..." Ning Cheng looked at these children and thought to himself: "When I was studying, my family was well-off, but I could only eat cold meals and dishes brought from home by the teacher every day. It's not like that.
Not only do they have corn and rice every day, they actually see some shredded meat and small fish every now and then!"
Thinking this way, a feeling of jealousy began to ferment in Ning Cheng's heart.
"What are your names?" Ning Cheng looked at the two children and asked suddenly.
"Disciple Zhao Shiqi..."
"Disciple Zhao Guo..."
The two boys bowed their heads obediently and obediently handed over the two bamboo talismans they were holding tightly in their hands.
"Zhao Shiqi lives in the south of Sixian Garden. His father is Zhao Wu and his mother is Wang. He is eight years old..."
"Zhao Guo, in the north of Sixian Garden, his father is deceased and his mother, Shao, is seven years old..."
Ning Cheng looked at the words on the bamboo talisman, and for some reason, the temper he wanted to have suddenly disappeared at this moment.
"You are not brothers..." Ning Cheng muttered and returned the bamboo talisman to the two boys.
Ning Cheng knew very well that the prince was in the manor, and that the prince paid special attention to these children.
Although he looked down on these people, whose status and titles were countless levels lower than his own, it was just a matter of luck that he ended up in the Prince's Sixian Garden, so he could study. Otherwise, these two children would never have touched a book in this life, let alone
Not to mention now, as long as there are classes, at least I can manage a full meal!
"In reply to the teacher..." Zhao Shiqi, who was older, did not notice Ning Cheng's face and expression at all. He lowered his head and worshiped respectfully: "I am from Qoyi. The year before last, my family suffered a disaster and the house was damaged by stones.
Buried, the local county magistrate thought our family was pitiful, so he asked my family to come to Shanglin Garden to cultivate land for the emperor..."
Another younger one, Zhao Guo, was obviously much smarter than Zhao Shiqi. He politely bowed slightly and said in a cowardly tone: "Sir, my disciple is from Changling. His father passed away years ago and his mother is older."
The body is weak, but fortunately Shibo is a police officer in Changling, and he allows his disciples, mother and son to find a living in Shanglin Garden..."
Zhao Guo looked young but looked mature.
Ning Cheng's eyes bulged out.
"Are you from a scholarly family?" Ning Cheng immediately saw from Zhao Guo's words and deeds that this child was obviously different from the children around him in his speech, behavior and sitting habits.
It is obvious that he has received a good upbringing and at least knows etiquette.
Don't think that only Confucian scholars value etiquette.
In fact, many people may not know that Legalism is more crazy and extreme than Confucianism when it comes to etiquette.
Well, to be more precise, Confucianism and Legalism actually have the same origin. The original founders and advocates of Legalism drew nutrients from Confucianism and grew up.
At the time of Li Kui's reform, Zixia was Wenhou's teacher.
Wu Qi once regarded Zixia as his teacher...
Later Shang Yang was also more or less influenced by Zixia's thoughts.
Another example is Xunzi in the late Warring States period. Among his disciples were Li Si, Han Fei, and a large number of Confucianists.
It can only be said that Confucianism, Legalism, etc. are actually a kind of knowledge and thought that serves the ruling class. No matter how beautiful the packaging is, it is still intended to rule other classes. There is a bright side, and naturally there is a dark side.
There is an advanced side, and there is definitely a backward side.
Most of the differences among various schools of thought may actually lie in whether to use a dull knife or a soft knife to cut flesh, but in the end it is necessary to cut flesh. It is to rule and drive other classes.
Therefore, when Ning Cheng looked at Zhao Guo at this moment, he was as excited as if he had discovered an oasis in the desert.
Ning Cheng, who was born in the Legalist family, immediately changed his attitude towards Zhao Guo 180 degrees at this moment. Although Zhao Guo is now of low status, he has a good background and is a scholar, so he is one of his own!
……………………………………………………
At this moment, Liu Che was flipping through the list of outstanding boys presented by Zhang Tang.
Looking at the names one by one, Liu Che didn't see any famous figures from later generations.
Until a person's name came into view.
"Zhao Shiqi..." Liu Che smiled slightly: "Isn't this Xiaozhu's later lost general?"
This guy is quite interesting. He followed Wei Qing out of the fortress several times and led the army alone, but he still got lost. Alas... I can only say that he is a road fool!
In other words, geography is taught by the physical education teacher...
Then, the name that followed made Liu Che's pupils dilate.
"Zhao Guo????" Liu Che held his chin: "Do they have the same name?"
He was a little unsure.
So I opened the information of this boy named Zhao Guo.
"His father's name is Zhao Yuan?" Liu Che looked at the father's name recorded in the document suspiciously. He was actually dead.
According to the information, the death was accidental.
This Zhao Guo also had a mother, but his mother seemed to be sick, so she was a silkworm worker who took care of Liu Che's mulberry garden in Shanglin Garden.
Just looking at the information, Liu Che felt that he still couldn't tell whether this Zhao Guo was the famous Zhao Guo in history. The one who ruined Xiaozhu's family and was able to immediately regain national power in just a dozen years.
Historically, it was the efforts of this guy named Zhao Guo that enabled the Han Dynasty to regain its strategic attack capability against the Huns during the reign of Emperor Zhao. By the time of Emperor Xuan, the country's national power was at its peak and it defeated the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there had not been a guy named Zhao Guo, it is still unclear whether the Zhaoxuan rule would have occurred.
After all, in the later period of Xiaozhu's rule, the rule of the Han Dynasty was actually on the verge of collapse, and large-scale peasant uprisings and noble rebellions occurred in many places.
The so-called Sinji Edict was promulgated in that context.
However, judging from the information, this Zhao Guo's age seems to match that of the later Zhao Guo!
Almost fifty years later, this guy named Zhao Guo almost jumped out of the stone. His appearance instantly reversed the agricultural decadence of the world at that time and almost revitalized most of China.
According to later statistics, during the four or five years that Zhao Guo was in charge of grain control, the grain output of the Han Dynasty almost doubled!
Well, Zhao Guo is Yuan Longping of the Western Han Dynasty!
However, there is no detailed information about Zhao Guo in the history books, only a few notes record it.
In later generations, Liu Che often complained about this man's situation.
In Liu Che's view, there were only three and a half people in the entire Xiaozhu Dynasty who could truly be respected.
Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Zhao Guo, and half of them were Sang Hongyang. Well, if Sang Hongyang wasn't so greedy...
In fact, Liu Che could also guess the reason why there was so little information about Zhao Guo.
He must have been involved in a political struggle and was retaliated against!
Liu Che really doesn't have such long-term ideas about things fifty years from now.
However, now, when the name Zhao Guo appeared in front of him, Liu Che undoubtedly became curious about it.
"Anyway, I'm still free today, why not go and see Zhao Guo?" Liu Che thought, stood up and said to Zhang Tang: "You go and do your work first!"
After Zhang Tang left, Liu Che immediately asked Wang Dao to prepare horses and entourage. Under the guise of going on a trip, he galloped out of the manor on horseback, followed by dozens of horsemen.
The princes of the Han Dynasty were basically not very honest when they were young.
Even if he became emperor, he would not be able to go anywhere.
Not to mention the rebellious kid Xiaozhu, Liu Che's imperial grandfather once tried to drive a carriage down a steep slope hundreds of meters high. He was playing at the speed of life and death, but fortunately he was stopped by Yuan Ang.
Therefore, the cavalry guards following Liu Che were all extremely nervous at this moment.
Fortunately, Liu Che did not make them too nervous. He kept walking on the road and had no intention of running towards dangerous mountains, forests or rivers. This gave the cavalry responsible for protection some comfort.
Well, at the beginning, King Huai of Liang fell from his horse and died. The Han Dynasty buried a royal concubine, Jia Yi, and King Huai of Liang's escorts and eunuch maids, all of whom were sentenced to various punishments. King Huai of Liang's personal bodyguards
, and all of them were sentenced to death.
Thinking about this past event, no one dares to take it lightly.
Liu Che didn't think so much, he really enjoyed the thrill of riding a horse and galloping.
This makes him feel free.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Liu Chele stopped in front of a mulberry forest.
The rumble of horse hooves has already alarmed the surrounding people and the Shanglinyuan officers assigned to manage and supervise here.
"Home!" Although Liu Che is not wearing his crown prince's crown clothes now, and is wearing clothes that are easy for riding, but who else can be so indulgent in Sixian Garden, besides the prince?
As a result, the surrounding people and officers quickly bowed and paid tribute.
Liu Che dismounted, and the cavalry behind him also dismounted quickly.
Liu Che waved, and the steward of Sanglin immediately ran over. He knelt down and asked, "What's the errand at home?"
"You have a woman named Shao here. Where is her home?" Liu Che asked.
"Going back to my family, the Shaw family lives in Beili, a mile away from here..." The man knelt down and said with a smile on his face. Who doesn't know about Liu's hobbies?
When I was the crown prince, I often hunted wild food in Shanglin Garden. This is not an unheard of thing.
That Shao was recommended to work for him a year ago. She was pretty good-looking, with fair skin and a slim waist. It was obvious at a glance that she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
There are not just one or two people who have ideas for her.
Not one more prince!
When Liu Che saw the guy's expression, he knew he had no good intentions, so he raised his hand and whipped him, making him roll on the ground.
Then, without bothering to talk to him, he got on his horse and headed straight towards the houses in the north.
To Liu Che, beating people was nothing.
Even, to put it bluntly, except for the court ministers, he would flatten whomever he wanted and beat whomever he wanted, and the one who was beaten would even feel honored!
The prince beats you personally to give you face!
Thank you quickly!
"I'm not so impatient yet..." Liu Chexin said.
Having been a man for three generations and the king of a country in his previous life, Liu Che's appetite became very picky.
Just being beautiful, sexy, etc. will not impress him.
Of course, there are exceptions like Sister Lin Chiling...
…………………………
When Liu Che rode his horse to Beiyili, he found that Ning Cheng was also there.
He saw Ning Cheng standing at the door of a house from a distance, seeming to be talking to the people inside.
Liu Che rode forward.
The sound of horse hooves startled Ning Cheng, who was chatting with someone. Ning Cheng looked back, his face was suddenly startled, he immediately turned around and paid a respectful salute, saying loudly: "I have seen my lord, why are you here?"
Liu Che dismounted in front of the inner gate.
The urban residences of the Han Dynasty were measured in units of miles.
In accordance with the policy of registering households to equalize the population, every household and every person in the household is recorded.
Each building has strict security and access control policies.
Although Shanglin Garden does not belong to the city, as a royal garden, it also has the same system as Chang'an.
Seeing Liu Che entering Beili, the person in charge of Beili and other people immediately came forward to greet him, knelt down and said: "I'm waiting to see the prince! Ask the prince Jin'an!"
"Gu'an!" Liu Che nodded with a smile, helped the people up one by one, and said, "Gu'an just walks around casually. My fellow villagers won't need to be so polite in the future..."
Liu Che always remembers to position himself correctly.
In front of ministers, he must be serious and dignified.
But in front of the people, you can be as cordial as you can be.
This is based on his experience as a vassal king for more than ten years in his previous life. Using this measure can effectively strengthen the stability of his rule and give the people hope.
Even if something happens, the people will think that it is the officials who did the bad things. The emperor is a good person...
I have to admit that Chinese people are so cute sometimes.
After Liu Che helped the people up, he came to Ning Cheng and said, "Ning Cheng, are all the boys in Beili under your name?"
"Yes, sir!" Ning Cheng bowed.
"There is a man named Zhao Guo, do you have any impressions?"
"Go back home..." Ning Cheng looked at the short private house in front of him and said, "This is Zhao Guo's home..."
At this moment, Ning Cheng's heart was pounding, and he was a little scared.
At this time, two women in plain clothes led a seven or eight-year-old boy with a braid. They came out. They paid homage to Liu Che: "The famous daughter Zhao Shao (Zhao family) pays homage to the family."
, I would like to send my best regards to Jin An!”
The boy also bowed and knelt down in a decent manner, and said: "The boy Zhao Guogong asked Jin An..."
When Liu Che saw it, he found it interesting. Such details in answering gifts are not something ordinary people can cultivate.
This set of etiquette is definitely not practiced by aristocratic families, or by families with a title of Zuo Shu Zhang or above.
Because this is the authentic etiquette for meeting the royal family.
The ability of the two elders and the younger to perform the rituals so smoothly had to make Liu Che deeply suspicious.
He squinted at the three people and suddenly asked: "Shao Zhao, raise your head. Let Gu take a look!"
Why do you say that?
The reason is very simple. When Liu Che looked at this woman's figure, he suddenly felt that she was indeed very similar to sister Zhiling!
Of course, in order to prevent it from looking like a devil from behind, but it turned out to be a ghost from the front, Liu Che decisively gave the order.
The woman was very frightened when she heard this and raised her head tremblingly.
"What's the errand at home?" Zhao Shao's face was a little pale, maybe because he was nervous or because he was in poor health.
However, her face shape is almost a perfect oval face. She looks like she is in her mid-twenties, and her face is fair, unlike other women of the same age who had turned yellow and had various symptoms due to farming and busy work.
The spots can be described as flawless.
What attracted Liu Che even more was that she didn't use any popular cosmetics at that time and wore plain clothes, giving her a fresh look.
In addition, she has a plump figure and her plump breasts are shaking due to nervousness or fear, which makes Liu Che feel like he has discovered a little freshness.
Such beauties are rare even in later generations, in a world with advanced plastic surgery technology!
Liu Che chuckled and asked: "Zhao Shao, who are you, Marquis Dongling?"
When Zhao Shao heard this, he lowered his head in fear and said, "Go back to your family and tell me, my late grandfather, please let me know!"
"The queen of a famous family!" Liu Che smiled, he already got the answer in his heart.
Dongling Hou Shaoping was the only representative of the peasant family who was active in the political arena of the early Han Dynasty.
It is not impossible for his great-grandson Zhao Guo to inherit his legacy and carry it forward and innovate.
You have to know that the watermelons grown in Shaoping were originally designated as melons by the Han Dynasty.
Even today, the melons carried by the descendants of the Shaw family are the favorites of the nobles.
As for why Liu Che knew that Zhao Shao was related to Shaoping, the reason was very simple. In Liu Che's previous life, a friend who had forgotten his name and even his appearance once told him that the Shaoping family had a unique beauty specialty.
The secret technique is said to be able to achieve a radiant complexion without applying makeup.
One look at this young woman's face and you can tell that she must have used the secret beauty technique developed by Shaoping to be able to look like this!
Liu Che took a step forward and asked, "Although the Shaw family is in decline, it's not like that, right?"
"The commoner's wife eloped with her late husband..." Faced with the prince, Zhao Shao did not dare to hide it, because as long as such a thing was investigated, he would definitely find out!
"Oh..." Liu Che nodded: "That's it!"
The folk customs in Guanzhong have been open since ancient times, and elopements and the like are commonplace. However, although the Shaw family has fallen behind in officialdom, the family is really not accessible to ordinary people, so it is naturally impossible for such an elopement to be approved by the Shaw family.
"Since your husband is dead, according to Han law, Zhao Shao, you can return to your natal family and remarry..." Liu Che asked playfully: "Do you know that according to Han law, if you don't remarry within three years, you will
What happened?"
"Either you pay an extra five cents in taxes every year, or the government assigns you a husband!" Liu Che said seriously: "You should know this rule. What makes you fall in love with this?"
Unlike the Song and Ming dynasties, the Han Dynasty not only did not prevent widows from remarrying, but strongly encouraged them. Not only that, if a widow did not remarry for three years after her father's death, she was guilty and would be fined. If she could not pay the fine, then don't blame the government for forcing her to marry him. Matched.
According to Han law, a woman who does not remarry is committing a heinous crime!
At this time, society never discriminated against widows who remarried.
The late Emperor Taizong Xiaowen issued an edict before his death, which ordered that all concubines who had no heirs be released from the palace and allowed to remarry.
It’s okay for the emperor’s women to remarry, and that’s no exception for nobles and civilians!
And all this is only for one thing, to increase the population! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
ps: Well, there is too little information about Zhao Guo, so basically I can only make up my mind~
Of course, regardless of whether there is Zhao Guo or not, the protagonist will definitely carry out feudalization of agriculture in the Western Han Dynasty. Well, yes, feudalization, because before Zhao Guo, the level of agricultural technology in the Han Dynasty basically stayed at the Warring States Period, or even the earlier Western Zhou Dynasty... Ahem... It seems that something like intensive farming has just begun...
