Xin Yanque drank the last mouthful of noodle soup in the bowl, patted his belly, and expressed that he was very satisfied, and he was really satisfied.
"From Lin Ye's point of view, we are considered peers."
Xin Yanque put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "You are his Uncle Chen, and I am half his master, so I won't beat around the bush when I say something."
Old Chen nodded repeatedly, and then shook his head endlessly: "How can I be the same generation as His Majesty? Your Majesty is the oldest."
Xin Yanque said, "If you treat me like an outsider again, then I won't say anything. Xiao Gu, let's go back to the palace."
Gu Xiujin stood up and said: "I obey the order."
Lao Chen was frightened and a little at a loss. In his inherent knowledge, being polite to others must be right.
Even though Lin Ye is already a general and a duke, and his own son is already the master of the temple, he is still the same old Chen who only smiled when he was bullied, just like he was in Yunzhou.
He also didn't expect that it would be wrong for him to be polite.
Seeing that he was at a loss and unable to say anything, although Xin Yanque didn't like this kind of character, he still felt a little distressed.
To be honest, if there was no relationship between Lao Chen and Lin Ye, Xin Yanque would definitely not come, and if he came, he would definitely not stay for so long.
This is no longer a question of whether he likes it or not, but that he really hates this character.
For a person with this kind of personality, if he is wrong, he is wrong. If he is right, if you speak louder, he will still feel that he is wrong.
But what mistakes would someone like him make?
He's just not lovable.
Xin Yanque said, "I'm here because I have something I want to ask you to do."
Lao Chen quickly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty's orders are all. As long as...as long as I can do it, it will be fine."
Xin Yanque said: "Little Ye Zi has been fighting in the north, and he probably won't be able to come back in two or three years. The same goes for the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. I thought, we can't let them feel that their family doesn't care about them.
So I want to send some people to work in the north."
Gu Xiujin was afraid that Lao Chen would not understand, so he explained: "Your Majesty means, please go to the army and make a bowl of noodles for the soldiers."
Old Chen remembered that Chen Weiwei also said they were in the north. In his opinion, since Chen Weiwei and Xiao Zizi were both in the north, they must be in the same place.
So he immediately nodded: "I am willing to go."
Then he said a little cautiously: "But I can only make a few hundred bowls of noodles a day at most. I really can't make more."
Xin Yanque sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "That's enough, I'm not just letting you go alone."
"Okay, okay."
Old Chen nodded repeatedly, and then asked impatiently: "When will we go?"
Xin Yanque said: "This matter cannot be decided right away. We have to let the people in the office discuss how many people are going to go, how many supplies and what they are going to bring. It will probably take a while to get a result.
, I will let Xiao Gu tell you when the time comes."
Gu Xiujin was slightly possessed: "I will bear this in mind."
Xin Yanque thought for a while, then turned to look at the Chen family servants who were following behind cautiously.
"Do you know who I am?"
Who am I? Do they still know who I am?
The group of people nodded repeatedly, and most of them were so frightened that they did not even dare to express their anger. They were just servants, and they never expected to see His Majesty the Emperor one day.
"Since you know who I am, you should know that my words are my will. If you don't listen to my words, you will resist my will and disrespect it. You should also know what the consequences of resisting and disrespecting my will will be."
The group of people nodded again.
Xin Yanque said: "From today on, none of you can talk too much. Let him go wherever he wants to go, and let him do whatever he wants. If anyone talks again, I will ask the Ministry of Punishments to send someone to deal with it."
You are all taken to jail."
As soon as he said this, the group of people all knelt down.
Xin Yanque looked at Lao Chen and said, "Look, if you are tougher, they will
Afraid of you."
Lao Chen didn't dare to refute, but what he was thinking was, because you are His Majesty, they are afraid of you rather than me.
Besides, if you get tough...for no reason,
Why should I scare others?
Xin Yanque could probably tell what Lao Chen was thinking, so he simply didn't say more.
He just suddenly felt a little sad about his misfortune and angry about his misfortune. Although he also knew that these eight words were inappropriate for this situation, he could not find a more suitable word.
On the way back, Xin Yanque remained silent. Gu Xiujin knew that His Majesty was not in a good mood, but it seemed that Lao Chen could not be blamed entirely.
Some people just do their jobs honestly, but they don't know what's going on, and they are indeed not lovable.
But you can't blame him for that.
Just as Gu Xiujin was about to speak, Xin Yanque suddenly said four words.
"He has a responsibility."
Gu Xiujin was slightly startled. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't immediately figure out what His Majesty meant by these four words.
It took about two or three breaths for him to wake up and ponder for a moment before nodding: "Yes."
He was always thinking just now, people like Lao Chen are just unpleasant, but how could they make mistakes?
But these four words from Xin Yanque woke up Gu Xiujin and made him realize that Lao Chen had indeed made a mistake.
Chen Weiwei has this character now, and Lao Chen has certain responsibilities.
Xin Yanque said: "You know, it's not because I don't like him that I say he is responsible."
Gu Xiujin said: "Originally, I thought he was just too dull and honest. After listening to what Your Majesty just said, I understand that if a person has an enlightenment in his life,
Sir, there is no doubt that they are parents."
"Old Chen was too honest when he was in Yunzhou. Being too honest is not a reason for anyone to bully him, but being too honest will make the first lesson his children learn is wrong."
Gu Xiujin is a very good talker, but he also knows that what he said just now is not accurate.
"I guess so."
Xin Yanque seemed to not want to worry about Lao Chen anymore.
"Chen Weiwei won't be back for about half a year. Remember to tell Ning Weimo that the labor force heading north will leave in four months."
Gu Xiujin leaned over and said, "I will go see Master Ning after I return, and Master Ning will make arrangements."
Xin Yanque hummed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Don't go back to the palace now. Let's go to Fengyu Watch."
Gu Xiujin hesitated.
"Leave it to me."
Xin Yanque looked out the window and said to himself: "In a while, I might not be able to see anything even if I want to see it."
He leaned against the window and said, "Man, there are only three words I want in this life... to be decent."
"Whether it's spiritual dignity or material dignity... Lao Chen chose not to do anything when he was in Yunzhou, and he just smiled when he was hurt. Maybe he thought that was his greatest dignity.
"
"I want to go to Fengyu Temple, and I also want to take a look at Fengyu Temple while it is still more respectable. Even though, in fact, the respectability in the hearts of Shangyang disciples is not really respectability."
"I used to see people at the lowest level rolling up their sleeves to show their tattoos, drinking heavily and swearing loudly. They couldn't even afford a better meal. Three or five people might not be able to scrape together a tael of silver. They would choose a food stall to get it.
The worst kind of wine, swearing and shouting and drinking... I think that is really unseemly."
"Later I realized that that might be the most decent life they could offer. I understood it, but I just understood it. In the final analysis, even if I am not the emperor, I will teach my children not to be so decent in the future."
"Some are self-righteous and decent, some are right, and some are wrong. This is the case with Lao Chen, and the same is true with those low-level Jianghu people I just mentioned..."
When Xin Yanque said this, he let out a heavy breath.
"Let the next generation understand what body is
It is really difficult to know what is right and what is wrong... Ning Weimo wrote a letter before saying that he would try his best to run rural schools well. I replied to him and said that the imperial court has not had the energy and money in the past few years...
...."
Xin Yanque was silent for a long time and then said: "I always thought that I was just a passerby, so I was perfunctory and contemptuous of everything. But after meeting Lao Chen just now, I wanted to understand one thing..."
"No matter what
Do you agree or not? As an emperor, I have to worry about being a parent for a day. Lao Chen looks pitiful, but in fact it is a bit hateful. However, after reflection just now, I realized that I am not Lao Chen when I am emperor.
?」
"So when I want to go to Fengyu Temple, I want to pick out some people. Try to choose those who are knowledgeable and have good conduct. Although Fengyu Temple has a bad atmosphere now, it's not like I can't pick out everyone...
"
"You pick one person after another. They may not be willing to get involved in the dispute, but once the curtain rises, they have no choice. They can't really kill a whole boatload of people with one shot..."
Xin Yanque looked at Gu Xiujin and said, "I've talked a lot today, so just listen quietly. You don't have to worry about how to deal with me. I just want to say something."
Gu Xiujin said: "I know it."
Xin Yanque continued: "The selected people will be sent down as far as possible to study in the countryside, in the village, to teach and educate people..."
"This matter cannot be delayed. I was wrong before. I always felt that fighting is more important than anything else. Fighting is important because fighting is for the future. Educating children...is also for the future."
"Now that I have awakened, I don't want to do something in this short period of time to leave a mark in history, but I want to do something."
"Just two things."
Xin Yanque stopped when he said this, as if he was considering whether the two things he wanted to do were right, or how big they would be.
What impact does the disadvantage have?
In the end, he chose to follow his heart and leave the rest to others.
"The first thing is what I just said about teaching and educating people. Send someone to call Ning Weimo, Yao Xinyuan and others to Fengyu Temple right now. I want to tell them in front of them."
"Those who are willing to go to rural schools and villages to learn to be teachers will be paid by the local government according to the salary of a seventh-grade official. The local government will not have money for other things, and this money cannot be withheld."
"But you can't talk about this first. You have to select people first. Those who are willing to go, then tell them this..."
Xin Yanque rubbed the corners of his eyebrows.
"This year's autumn harvest is very good, and the summer grain storage is also abundant. Although it is deserted, I have seen everything that needs to be seen. Some grain can be specially set aside in the local area for distribution to teachers and students in rural and village schools."
"No matter what happens in the future, when I am still in office, when I am still in office, we should not ask for tuition fees from the people when we study enlightenment in villages and villages. Wealthy places are in charge of food, and poor places have no other choice, so they will waive tuition fees."
"That's all I'll say about this for now. After all, my mind isn't that flexible. When Ning Weimo and the others arrive, you guys can add more together."
Gu Xiujin leaned over and said, "I obey your order."
After waiting for a while, His Majesty did not say the second thing. Gu Xiujin asked softly: "Your Majesty, what is the second thing?"
Xin Yanque closed his eyes slightly tiredly and said, "We'll wait until we get to Fengyu Temple."
About half an hour later, Xin Yanque walked into the main hall accompanied by Gu Xiujin and a group of priests from the Fengyu Temple.
This was the place he was most familiar with.
After waiting for a while, Ning Weimo hurried over with a group of people bent over.
"Xiao Gu, please tell Master Zaifu and all the ministers about what I thought of on the way."
"I obey the decree."
Gu Xiujin came back to his senses, stood up straight, and told Xin Yanque's thoughts in detail. Ning Weimo and others all frowned.
To be honest, this is not easy to handle.
It's not that difficult to handle.
Your Majesty can understand everything in one thought
, but the courtiers have to put all their efforts into it. It sounds so simple, just running a school, but the expenditure of financial, material and human resources involved is really not a small amount.
"You guys can discuss it."
Xin Yanque said: "Xiao Gu will just inform me of the outcome of the discussion... Well, the second thing is, I have decided that Gu Xiujin will handle the matter as the imperial study's Bingbi.
As an assistant, supervise the running of the school."
Xin Yanque ignored those people whose faces changed with fear, and ignored their frightened eyes.
He was just thinking... Big pot, based on this alone, I am not inferior to you.
