In the fourteenth year of Jianning, summer

Nine years have passed since the government school system was implemented in the fifth year of Jianning, and during this period, five groups of young children have come out of the official school, totaling more than 400,000 people, and the number of literate people in the country has increased greatly.

They are likely to cause very serious consequences, and they are also waiting for these official students to have an accident, so that even if they catch the handle of Wang Fu, they can easily sanction Wang Fu in the future, which is an act that harms the world of the Han Dynasty, but it has been so long, and there have been a lot of rebellions in various places, but only these students have made trouble.

These students, more than others, respect the Son of Heaven more, they are familiar with the Han law, have the courage of the ram, and they are even called the folk imperial history by the officials, because he often supervises the officials, and has also killed some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people who dare to kill officials with swords are simply unheard of.

Because it was He Xiu who compiled this book, therefore, his fame among the people, reached a new height, and the people began to compare him with Confucius and Mendong and other sages.

However, things are not smooth after all, after these young children grow up as people, there is a part of everyone who has disdained to continue farming, they also look down on the farmers around them, they are enthusiastic about the pursuit of study, hoping to be able to realize their ambitions through the scientific examination, Wang Fu does not seem to expect such a situation to happen, and their parents and relatives are also supporting their behavior.

I hope they can get ahead and become the pillars of the family, so suddenly there are nearly 100,000 people in the Han Dynasty who are not doing anything, reading and studying all day long, and only want to pass the assessment, Wang Fu is very worried about this matter, he is afraid that it will cost a lot of people's power, and he will take this as a business for life, shaking the agricultural foundation of the Han Dynasty, in order to solve this matter, Wang Fu asked to convene a court meeting.

Of course, before this, Wang Fu had already played a lesson to the Son of Heaven and explained the harm of this matter.

The Son of Heaven is very concerned about this.

Held a court meeting, Wang Fu was a little worried, the hundred officials had never seen him like this, seeing him like this, he was secretly proud, and vaguely knew that it was definitely Wang Fu who made some mistakes, it seems that this mistake is not small, otherwise, Wang Jiexin, who has always been arrogant, how could he become like this, heh, your Wang Jiexin also has today, God has eyes!

Baiguan guessed in his heart that when he heard the attack, his health gradually improved, and he began to go to court.

When he saw Wang Fu's appearance, not only was he not happy, but he was a little worried, could it be that there was some mistake in foreign trade, if so, wouldn't it be in vain that so much national financial resources were spent? He thought to himself, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

The Son of Heaven came, and the officials saw it.

Wang Fu also got up directly and said: "Nowadays, among the people, there are as many as 400,000 students who have learned from the government, and a small number of these students have studied in Menzi and Taixue, and some have become officials, but most of them do not do anything with agriculture all day long, relying on the family and parents to raise them, hoping to be officials and officials through assessment, and they are afraid of shaking the country's foundation for a long time!" ”

Yuan Feng frowned, thinking, this matter is not easy to do, and Wen Ren Attack first breathed a sigh of relief, but also quickly thought about it, among the hundred officials, but most of the people are a little gloating, they finally caught the handle of Wang Fu, shaking the country, this crime is not small, they raised their heads a little happily and looked at Yuan Feng and Wen Ren, hoping that they could open their mouths to sanction Wang Fu.

However, contrary to what they expected, the two men had no intention of opening their mouths at all.

The Son of Heaven frowned, agriculture is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, although it is only a few hundred thousand people now, it seems that it has no fundamental impact on the Han Dynasty, but you have to think that there will be millions of students in the future, or even tens of millions, if all these people are like this, then the Han Dynasty will not die? Without food, without food, the Han will collapse in a moment.

It's no wonder that Wang Fu is so worried, it involves the country, this matter has become a big problem, Wang Fu obviously didn't think that there would be such a problem, if it is an official school alone, it will be counted, but there is also an assessment, so that these students have changed their thinking, this is different from what Wang Fu thought in his heart, he wants to increase the wisdom of the people, in order to be able to better manage the people, for the sake of the Han!

Yuan Feng and Wen Renxi both saw the importance of the matter, raised their heads, looked at the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven pursed his mouth, obviously worried in his heart, they thought for a moment, but still didn't know what to say, at this time, suddenly a heavy minister got up, looked at the Son of Heaven, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What is Qing's plan?" ”

"Please cook Wang Jiexin, as soon as Wang Jiexin dies, then ban official learning and assessment, everything is worry-free..."

"Someone!!" Before the Son of Heaven could finish speaking, he roared angrily, and several guards suddenly rushed in on the side, and the Son of Heaven pointed at this person and shouted, "Pull this thief out and cook with me!" Several guards were stunned, raised their heads, looked at Wang Fu, and walked directly to this person, pulling them out, this person refused to bow his head, and kept scolding Wang Fu.

"Your Majesty!" Cai Yong hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, cooking with raw people is definitely not done by Ming Jun, only Xia Wei Shang did this!" Cai Yong raised his head and stared at the eyes of the Son of Heaven, who was already angry, and pointed at Cai Yong and roared: "Are you scolding me?" Do you think I'm a businessman?? ”

"You still want to welcome King Wu into Beijing, don't you? Someone, arrest him! ”

The guards immediately stepped forward, stood behind Cai Yong, heard the attack and Yuan Feng got up, bowed to the Son of Heaven, and said: "Your Majesty will also arrest us, if Your Majesty wants to execute Cai Gong because of today's anger, we are willing to die with Cai Gong." ”

The hundred officials got up one after another, stood behind the two of them, and said, "I am willing to die with them." ”

Only Wang Fu sat indifferently on the seat, looking at the hundred officials.

The Son of Heaven looked at the officials coldly, stared at Cai Yong for a long time, and then said: "Cai Gong, you have the sage of the Gan, but I will have the remnants of business?" ”

Cai Yong bowed and said: "The minister lost his words, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, but I hope Your Majesty will not give orders to cook people." ”

The Son of Heaven thought for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Dismiss his official body, drive him out, wait until you get up, continue to discuss, if you can't solve this matter today...", the Son of Heaven looked at them coldly, and everyone thanked them and got up.

The Son of Heaven gradually calmed down, but this matter has not been resolved, and they still need a headache, after the intimidation of the Son of Heaven just now, these important ministers do not dare to take the opportunity to spray Wang Fu anymore, after all, the stakes are very high, and the Son of Heaven is worried about this matter.

Yuan Feng frowned, thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, if you ban official learning, is it feasible?" ”

"No!" The Son of Heaven shook his head and said.

Since the implementation of the official school, the people have changed greatly, especially during his northern tour, the situation he saw, it is even more pleasing to the Son of Heaven, the people of the world are literate, many government decrees no longer need to be delivered by the powerful in the countryside, in this issue, it has effectively curbed the power of the powerful forces in the countryside, in addition, the people are smart, no matter what profession they are engaged in, the effect is stronger than before.

No one can imagine how excited the Son of Heaven was when he saw some farmers in Dahan holding agricultural books in their hands, reading and plowing at the same time.

The Han is in the countryside, the execution has been decreasing, the family and Haoqiang, have become the thorn in the heart of the Han Emperor, the people reading, is a heavy blow to the monopoly of knowledge by Haoqiang and the family, and strengthened the notice, not to mention that these people who read, that is quite respectful to the Son of Heaven, they all unswervingly believe that the Han is in response to the mandate of heaven, He Gong's thoughts, is shining on them.

"Then there will be restrictions so that the children of the farming people cannot participate in the assessment," one person proposed.

Of course, this was immediately vetoed by the Son of Heaven, if it is treated like this, not only will their original ideas be frustrated, but also that it will not allow more people to break away from Nongsang, and even cause a civil uprising, so different treatment, is not the consistent style of the Son of Heaven, when today, even the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Qiang people in the territory of the Han Dynasty all love, how can they not love the most important cultivators of the Han Dynasty?

"Then increase the money needed for the assessment, so that students from poor families are not able to participate in the assessment," suggested a high-ranking minister surnamed Wenren.

This point is no different from the previous proposal, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to do such a disguised act of supporting the family.

The hundred officials discussed for a long time, and there were no good policies, the Son of Heaven looked at Wang Fu, Wang Fu as the maker of these policies, it was a little difficult for him to change his own policies, you know, these policies were completed by his efforts, to change his own policies, that is, to change his own views and thoughts, Wang Fu was silent for the first time in the court meeting.

Seeing the prince's silent appearance, the Son of Heaven was even more anxious.

"Your Majesty—" Suddenly, a man slowly got up.

The Son of Heaven saw it, but it was the prince who gave up Xun You.

Xun You thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty might as well set the number of assessments, from then on, each candidate, can only participate in one assessment, after that, can't, in addition, after reaching the age of thirteen, can not participate in the assessment for more than six years, otherwise the qualification will be cancelled, so that after the students participate in an assessment, if they can't pass, they can only go home to farm." ”

"In addition, for students who fail to pass the assessment, there should be preferential agricultural taxes, reduce their taxes, and guide them to farm...."

Xun You said what he thought in his heart little by little, the hundred officials listened quietly, even Wang Fu was a little stunned, he really didn't think of this method, if he acted like this, although it was also a little unfair, if there were times when there were many talents, everyone participated in the assessment, it may make a lot of virtuous ministers leave the people, but this method can solve the current dilemma.

The Son of Heaven's eyes were also a little hot, and he listened carefully to Xun You's thoughts.

Laughing, his mood became a little happy, he looked at the ministers, and asked, "Xun Gong has this policy, what do you think?" ”

The officials nodded one after another and said, "Good! ”

He looked at Wang Fu again, Wang Fu thought for a moment, and said, "This matter can be...", he turned to look at Xun Yu again, and said with some emotion: "Xun Gong is a great talent, comparable to me!" ”

Although Xun You always felt that something was wrong when he heard it, this was the first time that Wang Fu praised a colleague, which already made him extremely happy, he bowed to Wang Fu, and the Son of Heaven clapped his hands and shouted: "Just act like this, Ling Shangshutai ordered, Yuan Jun, you talk to Gong Daduo, and then order!" ”

"Yes!"

The Son of Heaven praised Xun Youlai again, and one after another was difficult to understand, what "I left the marquis", what "the three dukes can be expected", etc., which caused all the officials to chuckle, and the inside and outside of the hall were filled with happy air.

Xun You was a little proud, turned his head to look at Jia Xu on the side, for some reason, he had always regarded Jia Xu as his competitor, but Jia Xu did not have any surprise on his face, he lowered his head indifferently, silent, Xun You thought in his heart, could it be that he had a better suggestion, but he didn't speak???

This is the end of the court discussion, the final solution, is also the adoption of Xun You's policy, when all the students can only participate in the assessment once after the spread of the matter, Taixue and Menzi suddenly turmoil, many of the students who failed the list last time angrily began to gather to crusade against Xun You, the thief, so that Xun You was a little afraid to go to the street anymore, and stayed in his study all day.

When the rural students heard this, they were not too excited, no one felt that they were inferior to others, they would fail in the assessment, and there was always a chance to take the assessment, which was not a big deal.

Xun You stood in the courtyard and sighed softly, since his suggestion was adopted, he was a little afraid to go out on the street, too many students and disciples hated themselves to death, especially those students who failed last time, they regarded themselves as great enemies, cursed all day long, and tried to find themselves many times, fortunately, their courtyard is relatively remote, not many people know about it, and it is safe to come.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Xun You was shocked, but after all, he was still young, and he was not too afraid and worried, so he calmly walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Gongda, open the door, I'm your uncle!"

Xun You hurriedly straightened his clothes, slowly pushed open the door, and bowed: "Meet the clan uncle." ”

Xun Yu stood in front of him with a smile, saw him salute, squinted his eyes and nodded, suddenly jumped up, pointed at Xun Yu and shouted: "It's this guy who will make us regret it for the rest of our lives and beat him to death!! Four or five students suddenly appeared behind him, not in a big grade, but all of them were from big families, and they rushed towards Xun You.

Although these people are not very old, most of them are his elders, there are marriages between several families, they are all familiar with each other, and there are relatives, Xun You is young, looking at his elders rushing towards him, Xun You hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, slow down, listen to me!" ”

"Xun Gongda, I am your clan uncle, how dare you judge my future?!" The little guy Xun Yu shouted, jumped up and pounced on Xun Yu.
