In the third year of Tianji, the servants of the Rite Mansion shot on the service of the middle stage, discussing the matter of etiquette and teaching, Zheng Yi's performance this time, immediately caused a sensation in the middle of the service, Zheng Yi was probably the first time to put this matter in the open side to discuss the minister, and he did not just give an empty suggestion, he also handed over the enlightenment books compiled by Wang Su to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was surprised after reading these materials, the ministers gathered in the Houde Palace, at the same time, Zheng Yi was also called by him to the meeting of the service platform.

Zheng Yi has always been qualified to enter the service platform, but, because the Son of Heaven does not like this person very much, Pang Tong did not bring him to the service platform, Zheng Yi was also a little confused when he was brought here by the Yellow Gate, he had also come to the Houde Hall before, but he had never seen such a scene, the ministers sat side by side, and behind them, there was a Yellow Gate recording the content of their words.

The Yellow Gate is the handwriting of the prince of Wang Fu back then, the prince was originally in order to restrict the hundred officials from discussing the government, so there were more than three ministers to discuss things, and it was necessary to have the Yellow Gate on the side of the record of the regulations, it is because of this provision, the prince is also hated to death, for the temple sages, this is the distrust of them, is disrespectful to them, however, the prince does not eat that set, forced to set.

In today's set of supervision system set by the prince, it has played a big role, every time the service of Zhongtai is discussed, there is a record of the Yellow Gate, and the content of the record is given to the Son of Heaven to see, Zheng Yi looked at these, slowly sat in the last seat, everyone smiled with him and saluted, except for the identity of the minister of the Zhongtai, in the official position, these people are still the same as him, all of them are servants.

Even Lu Fuji, who had not been promoted for a long time, was also sitting here, and after everyone arrived, Pang Tong said: "You have also seen it, today, we invited Zheng Jun over, and the performance table that you saw before was played by Zheng Jun... Our main purpose today is to discuss this matter.."

"If you have anything to ask, you can ask now."

First of all, Liu Yi looked at Zheng Yi and asked, "Zheng Jun, are all the books you sent your works?" It's very well written, and I think it can be circulated in the government school... However, you have brought a dozen books, and you can't put all of them in the official school, do you have any ideas of your own? Hearing Liu Yi's inquiry, everyone also looked at Zheng Yi eagerly.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "Liu Linggong, those are not written by me, they are all written by the son of the prince, Wang Su Wangjun. ”

"Wang Su ???"

Hearing that it was written by Wang Su, everyone was a little surprised, they had also heard of Wang Su's name, but they were all notorious, didn't it mean that this person was good at reading, but he had no talent?

"It is indeed written by Wang Jun, and in addition, I have never thought of putting these books in the official school." , Zheng Yi said seriously: "My idea is to expand the printing house, or simply set up a book house to be responsible for the circulation of books in the world, and the books written by private individuals must pass the review of the book house before they can be released.

"Of course, this is not the focus, the main thing is to be able to use the power of the temple to play a role in the promotion of books, it is best to make more people can read books, and they are excellent books as I submitted.... If this matter can be handed over to my court, I will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty. ”

Zheng Yi said seriously, but the full favor on the side nodded, and said: "It is indeed time to set up a similar institution, I have recently confiscated a lot of books, tampered with history, smeared the sages, and even someone wrote a biography of the prince, saying that the prince was born after the adultery between his mother and others...", the full favor looked very angry, this old-fashioned minister, frowned, and said sternly: "For these people, they should be punished heavily!" ”

Zheng Yi nodded and said: "It should be so, but it can't be generalized, gentlemen, before, I also hated these books, poems, and music, but when I went to observe carefully, I found a problem, today's prosperous era, different from ancient times, this is an unprecedented prosperous era, the people have food and clothing, this point, three generations of the Son of Heaven has been completed for us, and today's people still need more food and clothing for the soul..."

"I think that for books, you can classify them, and for some legendary plain words, we don't need to be too strict, of course, what Xiang Manjun said, smearing talents, deliberately detrimental to the family and country, should not be approved, but also heavily punished! The books of the Han Dynasty, all the monarchs should know, the art of war, Confucian classics, and even some agricultural books, like the legendary stories that are in circulation today, are a unique product of the Heavenly Chronicle..."

"And these books, and some poems, I initially thought they were worthless...", Zheng Yi paused, and then continued: "But I later realized that in fact, the people can't understand any classics, and they don't want to read history, and the art of war is even more impossible, but these books with strong stories and easy to understand are more popular among the people.. If we can review these stories and books, and select more nutritious books that promote benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the people will also love to read them, it will naturally help the religion of etiquette. ”

The more Zheng Yi spoke, the more excited he became, and the ministers first thought that this person was going to make up some etiquette, and they didn't care, but listening to Zheng Yi quickly say many thoughts in their hearts, they also fell into deep thought, what Zheng Yi said was something they had never thought of, and everyone had never been touched, but Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't sit still, his eyes were full of joy, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't interrupt Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi continued: "Not only can we not restrict these books, we also have to encourage the people of the world more, more such creations, if these books can be turned into the people's spiritual food and clothing, this is also a good thing, in addition, for poetry, music is also the same, review and management, do not publish privately, select many excellent works, the temple can also reward these people... By the way, in addition, I thought of a little... Bookstore. ”

The so-called bookstore, that is, the place where books are sold, has been there since the time of Emperor Xiaowu, however, he does not belong to the jurisdiction of the temple, and it is generally spontaneously copied and sold by the people, and the quality is not too high, Zheng Yi said with a smile: "Why don't we set up a bookstore in the temple, which is different from the bookstore, the bookstore is some classic righteousness, and the bookstore, we sell some legends, stories, poems, musical scores, words and the like..."

"In this way, it can not only play a role in promotion, but also make the author profitable, as long as it can profit, there will be more and more authors..."

"For these authors, we will also set up an institution to govern..."

Through Zheng Yi's words, the ministers understood that this was not a separate etiquette education at all, but a huge innovation, which needed to involve a lot of aspects, probably involving all the folk entertainment, Zheng Yi thought very much, just like that, he probably said for more than two hours, during which the ministers rested twice, and when Zheng Yi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

This is just an answer to Liu Yi's inquiry, it took two hours, so how long will it take to negotiate this matter?

However, no matter how much time it takes, Pang Tong will not let everyone leave easily, he also became interested in what Zheng Yi said, and kept asking, asking about poetry, music, and in the end, even asking about games, everyone was a little confused, games and play, can this also be regarded as a courtesy? Zheng Yi looked at Pang Tong eagerly, as if he had found his own colleague, and he said seriously: "Game play is also a kind of this... It is better to encourage people to do some sports, such as horseback riding, riding a car, swimming, etc..."

"Organized by the temple to reward the winner!"

At this time, the ministers were already a little incomprehensible, except for a few people, nodding their heads from time to time, and they couldn't help but listen.

"What about the official school?" , Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Official learning, it needs teaching materials, it can't be such a long story, it must be a strict teaching material, explain benevolence, righteousness, filial piety, etc., so that students can understand what these are, why they are like this, this can be regarded as education!" , Zheng Yi said seriously, "Not only in the basic official school, but also in various schools, in different schools, there must be prescribed etiquette." ”

"For the aspect of official learning, I have begun to write it myself, you can rest assured, within three months, I will come up with the corresponding textbooks, for different ages, different schools, need different textbooks... In my opinion, it takes at least 20 copies to meet the demand. ”

"Zheng Jun is talented!" , Zhuge Liang said, everyone also thinks that many ministers who have disdain for Zheng Yiduo on weekdays are a little ashamed to bow their heads at the moment, Zheng Yi doesn't feel anything, he looks at Pang Tong, and naturally wants to continue the negotiation.

Pang Tong looked at everyone and said: "Since this is the case, then we have to bother everyone to come to the formal discussion, everyone, Zheng Jun said this, and the opponents raised their hands!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two people raise their hands, one of them was Liu Ba, and the other was Gu Yong, Pang Tong motioned for Liu Ba to get up and speak, Liu Ba said seriously: "Zheng Gong's idea is very good, but if you want to implement it specifically, you still have to come up with a specific amount of money to spend..."

"The canals are being built at the temples, and the roads are being improved, so there is really not much money."

Liu Ba is still a matter of money, as for Gu Yong, he is a servant of the printing house, and the reason for his opposition is also very simple, that is, the expansion of the printing house, the current printing house is already big enough, if it is expanded again, and a few more departments are added, then you have to move out of the county, the county is overcrowded, and they can't squeeze in this house, these are all small problems, and then everyone continued to discuss.

successively decided to set up a library house, and felt that the name was inappropriate, Pang Tong personally named it the Cultural House, and then made Zheng Yi say it to a certain extent.

The efficiency of the work is indeed very high, and it is busy until the middle of the night, and most of the things have been decided.
