Meeting room.

Soon after Xu Shu sat down, Wang Lin brought a cup of steaming fragrant tea, Xu Shu took it and took a sip, and was immediately scalded.

Xu Shu was reluctant to put down the hot teacup, he held it with both hands to keep warm.

Next to them, Wang Lin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others looked at Xu Shu with curiosity in their eyes, they were curious why Jiang Xiaobai was so polite to the young man in front of him.

Soon, another servant came in from outside, still holding a brazier in his hand, and set it aside in the hall, and then withdrew respectfully.

With the current strength of Jiang Xiaobai, Zhang Fei and others, they are not afraid of this cold winter, so there are few braziers for heating in the mansion on weekdays.

"It's too cold."

This was the first thing Xu Shu said after coming to the mansion.

The weather was bitterly cold, so cold that Xu Shu's mouth was not good, and there was a sense of stiffness when he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and moved the brazier to Xu Shu's side.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"You are here this time to solve the danger of adults." Xu Shu said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xu Shu in some surprise: "Listen up." ”

"My lord, do you know whose world this world is?" Xu Shu asked.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't speak, he looked at Xu Shu quietly.

"Nature is the king's world."

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the king is the son of heaven, located above tens of thousands of people, under the king is the minister, and under the minister is the people." ”

"The king, the ministers, and the people go down in turn, and they are the world."

"But that was before, and now there is one more in the world, called the Shi family."

Xu Shu said: "The clan is above the common people, and the status is equal to that of the courtiers, and it is under the king. ”

"The family and the courtiers are in a relationship that goes hand in hand, the family comes from the courtiers, and the courtiers come out of the family."

"Whether it is a family, a courtier, or a high king, they are all the same kind of people in the final analysis, and they are the people who stand on the heads of the common people."

"The common people are ignorant and foolish."

Xu Shu said this, and before he could continue, Zhang Fei next to him interrupted him: "You are fucking ignorant!" ”

The rough roar, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, startled Xu Shu, the teacup he was holding in both hands shook slightly, the tea overflowed from the cup and fell into the brazier in front of him, and suddenly there was a sizzling sound.

"Who is this?"

Looking at Zhang Feihu's arrogant appearance with a bear's waist on his back and a sideways face, Xu Shu's heart was shocked.

"Your grandfather, my name is Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, and I am a Yan man." Zhang Fei said proudly.

"A eunuch?"

Xu Shu frowned slightly, a little difficult to speak, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise: "My lord, there are eunuchs by your side!" ”

Zhang Fei: "??? ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Yuanzhi misunderstood, this is my third brother Zhang Yide, he is from Zhuo County." Jiang Xiaobai laughed.

Wang Lin, Zhao Yun and others next to him also laughed one after another: "Second brother, don't say that you are a Yan person in the future, it's too easy for people to misunderstand." ”

Zhang Fei: "......"

"Lao Tzu was originally a swallow man."

Zhang Fei said viciously, and when he spoke, he also glared at Xu Shu.

"It's the fault of the concubine, and I also invite Brother Yide Haihan."

Xu Shu stood up and saluted Zhang Fei, and then he continued: "Brother Yide, you may have misunderstood before, I am not targeting you. ”

"You're targeting all of us, then." Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

Xu Shu: "??? ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei and Xu Shu were about to pinch each other, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Yide, don't make trouble, and listen to Mr. Yuanzhi." ”

In fact, what Xu Shu wants to say, Jiang Xiaobai already knows that Xu Shu just wants to say that the relationship between the monarch, the courtiers, the family and the people is like a pyramid, the spire is the monarch who is high above, the bottom of the tower is the people of Li who exist like ants, and the middle is the courtiers and the family.

As far as the common people are concerned, whether it is the monarch at the spire, or the courtiers and families, they are all rulers.

And the people who are ruled are ignorant.

This ignorance does not refer to stupidity, but to short-sightedness.

Because people are conscious creatures, and their actions are governed by thoughts, if they want to make the common people of the world bow down to their ears, they must seal the ears and eyes of the people, so that they lose the idea of committing rebellion, so that those in power can rule.

In the eyes of the rulers, the people of Qianshou are donkeys, and the best way to deal with them is not to tie them up or kill them, but to blindfold them, imprison the donkey's mind, and make it grind and turn around there.

A donkey that is tied up will resist and struggle.

If the donkey is killed, it can no longer be used.

And the donkey who pulls the mill and turns in circles lives happily.

"The common people are limited by education, so they are ignorant and ignorant, but now, my lord, you fund private schools, claiming that there is no class of education, so that the children of the common people can also read and write."

Xu Shu looked at Jiang Xiaobai cautiously: "My lord, you have the grace of edification for the people of Youzhou, but your move will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the country, it is nothing in a short time, but if after a few decades, all the common people are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, what kind of scene will it be?" ”

Xu Shu's words did not continue, he knew that Jiang Xiaobai must understand what he was talking about, some words could not be said, and it was a great crime of disrespect to say them.

"What would that look like?"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed softly: "If all the people in the world receive cultural education, if there is really such a day, it must be a glorious and prosperous world, a paradise in a dream." ”

"Your ......, my lord"

Xu Shu was shocked and couldn't speak, he couldn't believe that Jiang Xiaobai would say such a thing, he originally wanted to say that Jiang Xiaobai popularized everyone can read in the Youzhou area, this move undoubtedly moved the interests of the ruler of the current dynasty, and he was unharmed in a short time, but once it was known by the imperial court, it would inevitably bring death to Jiang Xiaobai.

"Yuan Zhi, I know what you are worried about."

Jiang Xiaobai quietly changed his name to Xu Shu, calling him by the word, which means that the relationship between the two is closer, after all, Xu Shu is here to remind him that he is kind.

"Yes, I'm going to anger a lot of people, but so what?"

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "In the past few months, I have funded hundreds of private schools in Youzhou, costing 30 million yuan, Yuan Zhi, do you think that with such a big movement, Luoyang will not receive the news?" ”

Hearing that Jiang Xiaobai had invested so much money in culture and education, Xu Shu's heart set off a storm, and he was deeply shocked by Jiang Xiaobai's courage.

You must know that Jiang Xiaobai is just a Youzhou pastor, he may be transferred away at any time, if the imperial court comes to transfer him out of Youzhou tomorrow, won't the 30 million money be wasted.

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's question later, Xu Shu subconsciously shook his head, which was also something he couldn't figure out.
