While eating, Yunxi said to Wenyuan: "Wenyuan, I went out with my father in the afternoon and went to the Jingchuan Marquis Mansion, the Imperial College, the Martial Arts Hall, and the Meishan Iron and Steel Factory and various workshops outside the city. What do you want to say?
of?"
Just as Wen Yuan was about to answer, Min'er interrupted: "Dad, did you take your second brother out again this afternoon?" Then he loudly said, "Dad, you didn't take your daughter out!"
"Min'er, dad is going to various yamen today, so I can't take you with him." Yunxi explained immediately.
Min'er put her chopsticks aside and was about to speak when she heard Xiyao scolding: "Min'er, you are eating, how can you put your chopsticks on the table!"
"Mom, my daughter is wrong." Min'er immediately admitted her mistake and picked up the chopsticks to put them on the bowl. Xiyao stopped her again: "I have already put them down on the table, how can I put them on the bowl again!" She stretched out her hand and took the chopsticks away from her.
She took it in her hand and handed it to the maid serving behind her. The maid took a new pair of chopsticks and put them on the shelf next to Min'er's bowl.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull at this time, Yun He quickly made some jokes and made the atmosphere better again, but Min'er did not dare to speak anymore.
Yunxi ignored her at this time and continued to ask Wenyuan: "You went out with your father in the afternoon and went to so many places. What do you want to say?"
"Dad, my son went to the Imperial College and heard the sound of reading. He felt that the reading atmosphere here was very good. He wanted to study in a place like this every day. Looking at the gentleman who taught them in the Imperial College, he felt that the standard of this gentleman's teaching was also good.
Very good. Although you shouldn’t talk about your husband, you are better than a teacher who teaches your son.”
"But the Imperial College is too cold. Even in the public room where the imperial wine is held, my son still feels a little cold, not to mention the students' dormitories and classrooms. My son always feels that they should be kept warmer," Wenyuan said.
.
"This father has made a decree to have the Imperial College lay the ground dragon as soon as possible." Yunxi said.
"When I went to the Wushu Hall, my son felt that it was really a good thing for his father to let the generals in the Wushu Hall study. When Mr. Luan was teaching, he said: 'The reason why military generals in the past dynasties are not as reliable as civil servants is because they don't study, so their loyalty is not as good as that of civil servants.
Now the emperor allows the military generals to study, so that they know loyalty and righteousness, which is a thing that will serve the present and benefit the future.'"
Yunxi frowned. The reason why civil servants are more reliable than generals most of the time is simply because they have no soldiers and cannot build them. You may say that it has nothing to do with whether you study or not, but it basically has nothing to do with it.
"Then the father took his son to the workshop in Meishan. Father, the son dared to ask his father why he paid so much attention to the craftsmen?"
"Father, although craftsmen can make useful weapons, the type of weapons the soldiers hold is not the key to the victory or defeat of the war. The most important thing is to cultivate moral governance. The army conquered Annan. Although the Hu family in Annan used fifty or sixty troops
There are still dangers in the mountains and rivers, but the throne was obtained through conspiracy to usurp the throne, so the ministers were not loyal to him, and he was quickly defeated by the army. This shows that virtuous government comes first. There is no need to pay so much attention to craftsmen."
"Of course, if the warehouse is practical, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. The soldiers must also be well fed and clothed." Wenyuan added.
Yunxi had already raised his head and looked at him when he mentioned the word 'virtuous government'. When he finished speaking, he asked: "Is this what you thought about yourself?"
"Father, this is what Mr. Luan taught me. My son thought it made sense, so he told his father," Wen Yuan said.
'You must let Luan Wei go home and eat his own food later!' Yunxi thought to himself: 'You, a teacher who teaches enlightenment, how can you teach your children what to do like this!'
Having settled the matter in his mind, Yunxi looked at Wen Yuan, thought for a while and said: "Wen Yuan, what Mr. Luan said makes some sense, but it is not complete. If the war can be won by cultivating moral government, then why did Song Dynasty be defeated by the Jin Kingdom first?
They were defeated and later destroyed by the Meng Yuan Dynasty? Could it be that they treated the people of the Central Plains better than the Song Dynasty?" There are arguments that can be refuted, but no argument is as good as giving an example directly.
"Father, my son hasn't learned this yet. Mr. Luan just briefly talked about it when teaching "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames"." Wen Yuan suddenly frowned and said.
"Father forgot, after hearing you say so many words, I thought you had already taught me this far. You can ask Luan Wei about my words tomorrow and ask him if he has any opinions," Yunxi said.
