"The treasury is empty!" Xia Yuanji said very surely, it seems that the treasury can already run mice: "Now the country uses money everywhere, roads need to be repaired, bridges need to be built, and rivers need to be dredged, which one can be done without money?"

Also, all the taxes in Jimo County will not enter the treasury within five years, where does the treasury get the money to give to what Yansheng Gong? Otherwise, let them make up all the taxes on those people's land! ”

Xia Yuanji said a word, Zhu Laosi's face on the dragon chair was a little darker, and when Xia Yuanji talked about the Mintian tax, Zhu Laosi's face was already too dark to see.

I still can't refute Xia Yuanji - that family is really not angry, can these bullshit things still leave the account book as evidence? It's a brainless model!

Besides, Zhu Laosi originally didn't intend to refute Xia Yuanji.

Just like Zhu Zhanji has been pitted to death by Yang Shaofeng but is happy to do it, Zhu Laosi is actually very helpless against Xia Yuanji, even when Xia Yuanji doesn't give money during the war, Zhu Laosi never thought about killing Xia Yuanji, at best, he threw Xia Yuanji in the edict prison for a few days, and turned around and got angry by himself.

At a time like now, since Xia Yuanji is willing to be the first to jump out to support the removal of the lord, and bite the family to encroach on the people's land to evade taxes, then it is up to Xia Yuanji to go, anyway, it is the dynasty that will benefit......

Fortunately, Jinjiang 3,000 small slings don't read historical online texts, otherwise Zhu Laosi's sentence "Xia Yuanji loves me" before he died doesn't know what to interpret it into.

After Xia Yuanji finished spraying, Zhu Laosi's face became even more gloomy, and there was a strange tranquility in the entire court.

For those bigwigs who are similar to Xia Yuanji, such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, the Department of Households, which is in charge of the money bag, must not be offended, and no one can provoke Xia Yuanji.

For those officials who are not in sufficient status, first, they can't provoke Xia Yuanji, and second, they really can't find a reason to excuse that family.

Besides, these things have been stirred up by Tang Sai'er and put on the bright side, and the people are now rumoring that Kong Sheng's old man's face is about to be lost by the so-called Yansheng Mansion, so no one is willing to stand up for that family anymore.

The final result was naturally similar to what Yang Shaofeng expected.

In addition to the lord, the ceremony of sacrificing Confucius was performed by the Ministry of Rites, and the title of Yansheng Gong was no longer established from now on.

In addition, what Yang Shaofeng can think of, Xia Yuanji can naturally think of - after all, there is Zhu Zhanji secretly passing on the news, so Yang Shaofeng's proposals such as renovating the Yansheng Mansion and opening the Confucian Mausoleum were also put forward by Xia Yuanji.

The transformation of the Confucian Forest and the opening of the Confucian Mausoleum for the world's scholars to visit and worship is to respect Confucius in another form, and the transformation of the Yansheng Mansion is to collect tickets......

As for the cost of renovating the Yansheng Mansion and Kong Lin, Xia Yuanji said that there is a shortage of everything in the treasury, that is, there is no shortage of money, so the treasury pays for this matter.

In line with the guiding ideology that whoever builds will collect money, the income collected in the future, such as ticket money and incense money, will definitely also belong to the state treasury.

Of course, the money is not simply returned to the treasury, but the treasury is ready to take out this part of the income and invest it in the construction of the school.

After all, if the money earned by the saint is used to promote the edification of the saint, the saint will definitely not be angry, right?

……

Yang Shaofeng is also convinced of this thoroughly - some people dare to think, some people dare to mention, some people dare to criticize, some people dare to do it, and in the end, this thing has been done......

I don't know how many of those projects in later generations are like this......

It's just that, compared with these things in the court, Yang Shaofeng is obviously more concerned about Jimo's affairs.

The road of Jimo must be repaired, the school of Jimo must be built, the people of Jimo want to make a fortune, and the children of the people of Jimo want to enter the school, not counting those trivial things.

If you don't have a headache, it's basically.

What gives Yang Shaofeng the most headache is the people's expectations and resistance to letting their children study.

Yes, it's not just expectation, it's anticipation with resistance.

Some people may say, if you have the opportunity to study, will you still resist? Isn't this a head with a bag?

But that's the way it is, there are expectations and resistances.

The reason is very simple, even if the Central Plains Dynasty has paid attention to reading since ancient times, even the emperor has personally persuaded him to study, but there is actually a very fucked up problem here.

Since ancient times, reading has been a luxury.

Before the advent of papermaking, reading books basically relied on bamboo slips or silk, and these two things were bulky and the latter were precious, and they were all disposable, and there was basically no way to use them a second time, and the cost of books became the first factor restricting the popularization of reading.

After the advent of papermaking, the cost of books did drop a lot compared to bamboo slips and silk, but the reason why it was necessary to use engraving led to the fact that the cost of books was still not acceptable to the common people.

Of course, the Central Plains Dynasty has always had a problem.

In the history of other peoples, when faced with floods, they prayed to the gods, while the people of the Central Plains Dynasty controlled the water by themselves.

In the history of other ethnic groups, most of them looked forward to the afterlife or prayed to the gods when they couldn't survive, and most of the people of the Central Plains Dynasty chose to overthrow the emperor.

The cost of bamboo slips and silk is high, so we make paper, and the cost of engraving is high, so we toss movable type printing.

There is no problem that cannot be solved, even if it takes hundreds of years to solve, the problem that should be solved will still be solved.

There is only one problem that cannot be bypassed in any way, at least until the productive forces and the means of production are greatly abundant.

Poor.

For ordinary people, letting their children go to school means that there is one less laborer in the family - even the smallest children can always do work such as mowing the lawn, right?

With one more laborer, the family's land can be cultivated a little more, and a few catties of grain can be harvested.

And in many cases, these few catties of food are often the key to whether a family can survive.

Therefore, these people often gather the strength of the whole family to provide a child with education, hoping that this child can get ahead, and then drive other brothers to make a fortune together in the future, so that future generations will have more opportunities to study.

In some respects, this concept is very similar to the concept of the first rich to lead the later to become rich, and at least it is the safest approach.

Including later generations, in the sixties and seventies, there were still many families in the countryside who gave birth to a few children, but only the eldest or youngest went to study, and the other children went to work.

However, the situation of Jimo is different from that of later generations, and the situation of other states and counties in the Ming Dynasty is also different.

First of all, Zhu Laosi exempted all the people's taxes, although the gentry in many places quietly added this part of the taxes exempted by Zhu Laosi to the rent, but Jimo County, or the whole Shandong, where is there any gentry now?

Secondly, now these young people who work on the construction site have wages to pay, and when the duck egg business starts to get on the right track, these people can make a fortune just by raising ducks and selling duck eggs.

In other words, the people of Jimo are not short of money, nor are they short of those children who are a few years old as laborers, but the difference is that these people's concepts have not changed.

What really needs Yang Shaofeng to solve is actually the concept problem of these people.

And more importantly, how to get these people to agree to let the girl study.

A woman's lack of talent is virtue, this kind of bullshit statement, those gentry and nobles scoffed, but the common people are convinced.

Because the gentry and nobles knew the benefits of letting girls study, but the common people didn't know, or knew, but they didn't want to admit it, and would rather think that they didn't know - let the girls weave two more pieces of cloth and sell them for money, is it still hot to spend?

The most important thing is that there is a general belief among the people at this time, which even extends to the flower planters hundreds of years later: if a girl does not study, she will eventually marry into someone else's family, and the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled......

These two issues are not big or small, but they are not small.

In Yang's Zhuangzi, Yang Shaofeng is the sky, Yang Shaofeng is the earth, and the Yang's Zhuangzi is not big, as long as Yang Shaofeng explains the benefits of the girl's study to the villagers, even if the farmers are dissatisfied, they will not oppose Yang Shaofeng's decision.

And can Jimo County and Yangjia Zhuangzi be the same? How many households are there in Yangjia Zhuangzi, and how many households are there in Jimo County? People just don't want to let the girl go to school, what can Yang Shaofeng do?

"Headache," hatefully threw "Zuo Biography" aside, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help complaining: "It's all habitual stinky problems, I don't know how good a temper I Yang is, and I was bullied like this by these people!" ”

"Isn't it?"

Zhu Zhanji held a copy of "The History of Confucianism" in his hand, turned a page calmly, and then continued: "I told you a long time ago that it is not easy for you to let all the male children study, and now you still want the female children to study, so it is still easy?" ”

Yang Shaofeng snorted and said, "It's obviously for their good!" It's a good thing to let the girl study, I said this truth in Yangjia Zhuangzi, you also know it? ”

"I know, but the people don't know, and they don't really care about it."

Zhu Zhanji said: "The most important thing is that you have the final say in the Yang family Zhuangzi, although Jimo is also up to you, but after all, unlike the Yang family Zhuangzi, this matter is annoying." ”

Yang Shaofeng said hatefully: "Otherwise, I will raise taxes for them?" In the future, if anyone has a baby who doesn't study, whether it is a boy or a girl, I will collect their education resource tax and punish them to death! ”

"Are you stupid?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but mock: "The emperor's grandfather has exempted the people from paying taxes, and you will increase it?" Isn't it stupid? Can those Imperial Historians let you go? ”
