"Ah, that ......"

Ouyang Xiu suddenly came back to his senses: "The general outline has been written. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"That being the case, why is Uncle Yong at a loss?"

Wen Yanbo frowned and asked. He thought to himself, "Why are these two always wandering tonight...... Could it be that there is too little effort?

Ouyang Xiu opened his mouth, hesitated several times, and stopped talking.

Sima Guang persuaded him: "Lord Ouyang, this is the budget outline drawn up by the five of us together, even if there are troubles, it should be in the same boat through thick and thin, if you think there is a mistake, why not speak out?"

"I didn't find any mistakes,"

Ouyang Xiu's heart was hot, he clenched his fists, and said seriously: "However, since there is still a surplus of the additional money and silver, I want to ...... Is it possible to use some of the money for education?"

"Juniors seconded it!"

Sima Guang immediately responded: "This money is enough for 150,000 yuan, which can be used for the expansion of Taixue." ”

Taixue was a national university in ancient China. The name of Taixue began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Taixue was still the highest institution of learning, subordinate to the national superintendent, and the number of students was very small, and only the children of officials above the seventh grade were accepted.

Ouyang Xiu bowed slightly.

Wang Anshi interjected: "Lord Ouyang, since you are cultivating talents, the younger generation has another suggestion. ”

When Sima Guang heard this, the corners of his eyes tightened, and he stared at Wang Anshi fixedly.

Ouyang Xiu did not know about the previous debate between the two about whether to build a staff dormitory. He only knew that Wang Anshi was also a talented person and had reliable ideas, so he smiled and said, "It's okay to say it." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ouyang. ”

Wang Anshi thanked Ouyang Xiu, and he did not shy away from looking at Sima Guang, with the same sharp gaze.

"The students of Taixue are all the children of officials above the seventh grade, and their families are all good in terms of the court's wealth. This money is just icing on the cake for Taixue. ”

"Hmm......" Ouyang Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What Jie Fu said is reasonable, according to what you said, how can it be a charcoal in the snow?"

The younger generation suggested that the money should be used to build as many Mongolian schools as possible to teach the people of Li to read and write for free. ”

As soon as the words fell, they attracted Sima Guang's angry reprimand: "Ridiculous, Shengdou citizens, what's the use of literacy?"

Wang Anshi retorted without giving in: "How can the citizens of Shengdou be useless in literacy?"

"Then you can tell me, what is the use of Wang Erniu who ploughs the fields? What is the use of Liu Dazhuang, who sells vegetables? What is the use of the guys in the Babao Tea House who are literate? It's a waste! The money and silver should be used for Taixue, compiling and compiling historical classics, for future generations of students to study!"

"If a vegetable seller can read and write, he may not be able to learn to keep accounts, and he may not be able to do better! As for the guy at the Babao Tea House, if he is literate, wouldn't it be more effective to memorize the menu? How could it be a waste?"

Wang Anshi retorted unceremoniously one by one.

He bowed his hand to Ouyang Xiu again and said, "Lord Ouyang, if the people can read and write, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely have infinite possibilities. Besides, if there are more literate people, won't there be more talents available for the imperial court to choose from? The matter of compiling and revising historical books and classics mentioned by Master Sima will also be easier. ”

Sima Guang also bowed his hand to Ouyang Xiu and said: "My lord, this is a mistake! Money and silver are used for Taixue, which is to strive for perfection; compiling historical classics is a matter of merit and benefit for the future!

Ouyang Xiu looked left and right.

He felt that what Wang Anshi said was true, but what Sima Guang said was also reasonable.

For a while, it was really difficult to choose, so he had to look at Liu Xin with hesitation and distress. I never thought that Liu Xin and him had the same look.

On the contrary, Wen Yanbo decisively ordered: "This matter will be discussed later!"

"Lord Wen?"

"Lord Wen!"

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang called in unison.

Wen Yanbo said impatiently while sorting out the bookcase: "There should always be a priority in everything, ......what is the reason for what Le Lang said?"

He thought for a moment, patted his head, and said, "Important and urgent!"

He pointed to the draft in his hand and said: "This annual budget is important and urgent, and it must be done first! As you said, the money should be used for Taixue or Mengxue, although these are important, they are not urgent -- even if Uncle Yong agrees that it is good to put any of you in the court, it will still be discussed again and again, and it will not hurt to discuss it again and again in the future." ”

Such a neat and decisive Wen Yanbo, even Liu Xin is not often seen, and he was stunned for a while.

Wen Yanbo also said: "Nowadays, we have more important and urgent things. ”

Something more important and urgent?

Everyone looked at each other.

Wen Yanbo looked at the sky outside the window, and said with a little excitement: "Elder Ge, Uncle Yong, as soon as the time arrives tomorrow, we will go to Yao's Mansion." ”

"Yao Mansion?" Ouyang Xiu was puzzled.

Wen Yanbo nodded heavily: "Yes, go find Yao Hongyi!"
