When Liu Xi returned to the palace, it was already midnight. Today he went to the countryside of Luoyang to see the situation of the people in various places. Generally speaking, the people around Luoyang were still living a good life.
There are also many elders. The number of elders can exactly represent the prosperity of this place. If the people were not wealthy, there would not be so many long-lived people who could be visited by the emperor.
After returning to the palace, Liu Xi stretched his body and sighed. He was a little tired. He had been working hard for several days, which was unprecedented before. As soon as he walked into the house, he saw a faint sound in the distance.
In the candlelight, Lu Ji was sitting in front of the desk, knitting something, carefully and concentrating on it. Liu Xi smiled softly and walked behind her, "What is my little queen doing?"
Lu Ji heard his voice and was about to hide the things in her hands, but Liu Xi stretched out his hand, grabbed her wrist, and sat in front of Lu Ji. Liu Xi raised her hand and frowned.
After looking at it for a long time, Lu Ji asked, "What is this??" Lu Ji blushed slightly and said, "I wanted to give it to you after I finished knitting it..." Liu Xi laughed and looked at it carefully.
The shapeless fur ball in her hand.
"This...this...what is this??"
Liu Xi looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't see what it was. Lu Ji frowned and said, "Can't you see??" Liu Xi was shocked and said with a smile, "Oh, look.
It came out, I saw it...this is...isn't this what it is...I can't remember the name for a moment..." Lu Ji glanced at him and said: "This is the cloak...
I can't knit well..."
Seeing that she was a little disappointed, Liu Xi laughed, took the fur ball from her hand, and said: "What a good cloak, who said you can't knit it well? Look at this line, this feel,
Hey, who in the world can weave such a cloak, unprecedented!!" Liu Xi admired, put the fur ball on the desk, and said: "You had knitted it earlier, I will wear it to see you.
Where are the officials!"
Lu Ji couldn't help but laugh. Under the light, her beautiful face looked even more moving.
Liu Xi smiled and blew out the candle nearby.
...........
The next day, Liu Xi was sitting in the Hall of Houde, while Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were sitting in front of him, and the other officials in the East Palace were sitting behind them, which seemed a bit crowded.
Liu Xi frowned and said: "It's already November, next year is about to come, and we can't show off our skills in this winter. But to implement the strategy, it's best to think of it now, and next year, we can put it into full force."
...I have read your report yesterday...Kong Ming, I have thought about what you said all night, and I think it makes sense..."
The emperor said, looked at Sima Yi who was aside, and explained to everyone: "Kong Ming's memorial requires all plans to be implemented before they can be implemented. In the memorial he gave me, he asked to set goals, big and small. The first thing was to write a book
Regarding the matter, Kong Ming reported that within one year, 30,000 copies of the Jianning Stone Classics should be printed...distributed to various places...I thought about it, with the rise of printing technology, this book and official learning should indeed be
Put it first..."
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and said: "What your Majesty said is very true, but just printing the classics must not be enough. Your Majesty, within the official school now, only the classics are taught, with a small amount of agricultural assistance. However, during the assessment,
But there are four subjects to be tested. Now that we have printing technology, why not print a large number of agricultural books, arithmetic books, criminal laws... and send them to official schools, so that when children grow up, they can also learn the other three subjects..."
"Whether it is farming or counting, it is extremely important. If it is not implemented early, there may be many talented people with this kind of talent who will be forgotten in the countryside..." Sima Yi said, and everyone started talking. Nodding their heads, everyone felt that what he said made sense, except Zhuge Liang, who was not surprised at all. It seemed that he had thought of this a long time ago. Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "What Zhongda said is not bad, but... we have enough A sacrificial wine?"
"Even if there is no sacrificial wine, just putting the books in the official school so that young children can borrow them is a good idea... In addition, a large number of books can be transported to the official school, and through the official school, they will gradually spread to the world , what do you think, Kong Ming?"
"It coincides with me. In this case, it may be possible to set up a department to be responsible for printing, print a large number of books, and distribute them to the world... In any case, books are the most precious, and there are a large number of books among the people. , can open up the people’s wisdom.. Talents emerge in large numbers... What do you think of Zhongda?”
"Oh? It coincides with me. Then my plan is to open the doors of the north and south schools. Anyone in the world, as long as they can pay money, can enter the school to observe. They cannot disturb the teaching. They cannot When you ask questions, you can only listen to the lectures of the great Confucians and read the books. In this way, it will not only change the situation that there are many talented people in the Taixue disciples, but there are no students in the South and the North, it will also open up the literary style and make the world enjoy the saints. Daodao, what do Kong Ming think?"
"It coincides with me..."
"Ahem, wait a minute..." At some point, Pang Tong stretched out his head and looked at these two people...no, he looked at these two geniuses and said helplessly: "We are not talking about a year. Can so many things be completed within one year??"
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi turned their heads at the same time, looked at Pang Tong, and said in unison: "Yes!"
"Okay, okay, then you continue..."
Looking at the bickering between the two people in front of him, Liu Xi no longer knew what to say. He vaguely remembered that when he was still very young, his master gave a lecture and they argued like this. It was fine at first, but later he was completely disappointed. I didn't understand. Then it was Master who drew his sword, and the two people stopped. Now it's like this again, but to be honest, Liu Xi felt at ease and wished they could quarrel for a while... It felt like if they quarreled for three days In three nights, I can completely decide on my great man’s century-old strategy!!
Liu Xi said: "Kong Ming, Zhongda, I think your plan is very good... In this way, you can write down for me what you just said... and all the gentlemen...", the emperor saw Looking at the other ministers, he said: "In this first year, we will start with books and official studies, and strive to complete these as early as possible. Official studies represent future talents and the future of the Han Dynasty. I don't want to be like my father. , take care of several things at the same time...distribute manpower, and everything cannot be done to the extreme..."
"I will gather all the power of the world and concentrate on one thing until everything is done. I believe that by that time, I, the Han Dynasty, will usher in a prosperous age of a thousand years...the world will be united..." Liu Xi said seriously.
The ministers held their hands in succession and said: "Sincerely!"
Liu Xi chatted with his close ministers until very late, and then everyone left. When Pang Tong and a few others left, they were still a little reluctant to leave. Liu Xi knew that they also had their own plans. Pang Tong's crazy plan was to support powerful families. , to encourage handicrafts, obtain raw materials from foreign countries, produce goods in large quantities, and then sell them to these foreign countries to obtain countless profits. This plan is a bit crazy, and Liu Xi still has no confidence to implement it.
The same is true for Fazheng. Fazheng also has his own plan. He believes that the Han Dynasty should focus on the sea, build ships on a large scale, encourage sea navigation, explore overseas, and exchange for more capital, territory, and population for the Han Dynasty. This can be implemented, but you must first get things done at home before you can focus on overseas. The prince obtained countless wealth for the Han Dynasty overseas. If he does it himself, he will definitely be able to bring back more wealth.
Zhou Yu reported that his proposal was to establish a formal garrison outside the Great Wall. The so-called garrison outside the Great Wall meant that the Han Dynasty left military brigades in foreign countries to protect them from attack... Just like what Xu Rong did in the Northeast, Xu Rong, Dian Those people in Wei are now stationed in many countries outside the Great Wall to protect the merchants of the Han Dynasty. However, Zhou Yu wants to station his army in Guishang and Anxi. The emperor feels that this is a bit too much...
Let’s not talk about how to maintain control over them, but how to solve the logistics problem? Is it possible to build a Chidao from Dahan to Anxi?
The emperor smiled and shook his head, how is this possible?
Cao Pi, Sun Quan, and even Yuan Shang all put forward their own views on governing the country, and the emperor thought they were all good.
With these people in the temple, Liu Xi was helpless. They were talented, but their ideas were too scary for people to accept.
...
Taipu Mansion.
Hua Xiong put on brand-new official uniforms and walked from stable to stable, looking at the livestock under his control. These were all livestock belonging to the emperor. Several officials followed behind him and said all kinds of flattery. Hua Xiong nodded and enjoyed the words. When he arrived at the stable, he stretched out his head, looked at the horse inside, and asked: "Is this the horse that pulls the emperor's carriage???"
"exactly..."
"Hey! How can a horse be raised like this?" Hua Xiong shook his head, turned over and jumped into the stable. The officials under his command were frightened and shouted, and quickly opened the door. When they entered At that time, Hua Xiong was stroking a horse and wiping its body. Everyone shouted: "Hua Gong, no, you are Jiu Qing, how can you do this yourself... This place is too dirty... "
"Hey, what you said... Your Majesty, aren't you just raising horses for the emperor? You don't know what I do for the sake of doing this. In the past, I raised horses, cows, sheep, and dolphins for the powerful men in my hometown. , I have raised them before, but you are too unprofessional. These horses cannot be kept in a cage. Sometimes, they have to be let out for a walk. You know, and why is this place so dirty? It needs to be cleaned on time. , otherwise you will get sick..."
With that said, Hua Xiong was about to clean up the place in person. The other officials could not stop him, so they had no choice but to follow him and clean up together. There was horse manure everywhere, exuding an unpleasant smell. The officials were really Unable to stand the smell, he almost vomited it out. Hua Xiong sat aside, looking at their appearance, laughing loudly. He shook his head and said: "You are still an official who raises horses? You can't even stand this? Haha Ha ha!!"
You are the official who raises horses. We are servants and subordinates. How can we do this ourselves?
Hua Xiong looked at the newly cleaned stables and the horses running wildly in the courtyard. He couldn't help but smile. Tomorrow, he would go to herd sheep. By the way, there seemed to be some books about animal husbandry in the library. He had to If you study hard, you may be able to write a book about livestock. In this way, you will have made a huge contribution. If Cao Cao dies, his position will be yours!
Hua Xiong couldn't help but grinned as he thought about this.
