"What do you want to ask?" Yun Xi looked at Wen Yuan with a serious expression, and his expression became a little solemn.

"Father, Shicai's father said that he met a businessman surnamed Xiao and asked him about it. Father, although the merchant is also one of the four people, he is the last of the four people. Although according to my father's teachings, there are few merchants in the country, and merchants are also used in the imperial court, why should my father speak to the merchants himself? If there is something to be ordered, just let the officials do it. ”

"Both, the father, and the son felt that it was not appropriate for Aunt Anqiu to treat the common people, or the barbarians of the frontier. The reason why the father asked Aunt Anqiu to treat the local barbarians in the southwest was probably to appease the locals. But the gentleman in the (royal) school said that there should be dignity and humility, and Aunt Anqiu treats ordinary people or barbarians, is it a little out of character? Wenyuan said.

Fumigaki has been studying at the Royal Academy since last year. In the Royal Academy, no, in any of the Daming schools at this time, in most schools around the world at this time, 'etiquette' is the focus of the content, Chinese have to learn Confucian etiquette, Europeans have to learn to face nobles or nobles, and Christian etiquette, Indians have to learn etiquette to treat people of different castes, and cannibals have to learn Tianfang religious etiquette.

The etiquette of all countries in the world has a strict distinction between the inferior and the inferior, so Wenyuan feels that Zhu Xiancai should not treat ordinary people; In Chinese etiquette, although the merchant has always been counted as one of the four people, it is much stronger than the lower nine streams, which are not even counted as the four people, and has been despised since the Zhou Dynasty, and the status of the Spring and Autumn Warring States in the troubled times is higher, but with the completion of the unification of Qin, the status is lower. Therefore, Fumigaki, who had undergone an etiquette education, believed that as an emperor, he should not speak directly to merchants.

'I've been in the royal family since I was a child, and I've been thinking about these issues since I was a child, and although it's almost just a duck copying what Mr. said, it's not simple. Could it be that the royal family of all generations is like this? Yes, in history, Zhu Di led the Northern Expedition, and for what reason Zhu Gaochi couldn't look at things, so he asked Zhu Zhanji, who was only nine years old, to go to Fengtianmen every day to see things, at such a young age. ’

'It seems that the curriculum for children under the age of twelve should be curtailed, so that their ideas cannot be limited from an early age, and I do not have time to go to the Royal Academy all day to teach them. Their etiquette class gentleman is also going to be replaced. ’

Yun Xi thought about this for a while, then came back to his senses and looked at Wen Yuan's eyes full of doubts, and said to him: "Whether it is Shinong Industry and Commerce, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the emperor, but there are elders and young, Wen Yuan, are you right?" ”

"Yes, father."

"How, then, can elders be distinguished by the distinction of their people? Wenyuan, you have to remember that in your eyes, no matter the farmers and the industrialists, they should be treated equally, and they are all your people. ”

"The gentleman who taught you, or the people who thought that the merchant was the last of the four peoples and thus looked down on the merchant in the past dynasties, may be because they have seen the evil things that the merchant has done, of course there are many such things, but there are also some people because of profit. The reason why they look down on businessmen is to exalt themselves by belittling them. ”

"You may not understand the matter of interest now, but it is good that you know that it exists. After a few years, when you are more than ten years old, my father will tell you in detail. ”

"In addition, the earliest establishment of the four people's division of Shinong industry and commerce was the Spring and Autumn period of the generation of sage Guanzi, when the pipe first created this system, but did not separate Shinong industry and commerce, but treated equally, the 'shi' at that time and the current 'shi' refers to the people are not the same."

"In short, you must remember that all the farmers and businessmen are your people, and you should treat them equally."

"It is indeed not etiquette for Xiancai to see a doctor for the people. But this can be an excellent restraint on the people's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Think about it, as an ordinary person, but he was treated by the noble county lord, how could he not be very grateful to the court and the emperor? ”

"Besides, Wenyuan, what do you think you should do as a clan?"

"Governing the country and leading troops to war." Fumigaki replied.

"But not everyone has the talent to govern the country, and many don't even have the ability to govern a place. As for leading troops to fight, the same is true, even if my father let all the children of the clan practice martial arts seriously, and they are willing to fight bravely when they fight, but they are only generals, and what is needed to lead the army to fight is handsome. ”

"Then what are these clans that can't govern the country and can't lead troops to fight, they are all eating the court's money at home and waiting for death? At present, although the annual taxes collected by the imperial court are still sufficient and rich, the number of children of the clan will continue to increase, and sooner or later, the imperial court will not be able to support so many people who eat idle meals. ”

"So these people have to be given something to do. If you like to study medicine, let them study medicine, if you like calligraphy, let them learn calligraphy, and if you like to learn painting, let them learn painting, that is, to contribute to the country, but also to make yourself worry-free. Wenyuan, do you understand? ”

"My son understood." Wen Yuan hurriedly said.

But Yun Xi was a little disappointed when he heard his words. It's just an eight-year-old, so you can't ask too much. ’

"Wen Yao, Wen Qi, the same is true for the two of you, you must remember and understand what your father taught you." Yun Xi said to the two of them again.

"Yes, father." Wen Yao and Wen Qi hurriedly agreed.

After Yun Xi finished teaching his three sons, because the carriage was not cool, he lifted the curtain to let in the wind, and at this time there was a slight southeast wind, which was cooler.

After a while, the carriage came to the palace of Princess Zhongshan. Menzi was still a little arrogant looking at these two very ordinary carriages, but after seeing the faces of the accompanying guards, he immediately became nervous, went up to ask who was coming, and hurriedly ran to the house to report.

Hearing that her brother came to visit her, Yun Lan immediately sat down and walked to greet her. When she met Yun Xi halfway through, she hurriedly took the next step to salute him.

Yun Xi also hurriedly stopped her: "Second sister, if your brother accepts a gift from you on weekdays, it would be fine, but you are pregnant now, but you must be careful, you don't have to bow down." ”

"Since the royal brother said so, my sister will not salute my brother this time. After my sister's child is born, I will return all the gifts owed these days to the royal brother. Yun Lan smiled. In the past, Yun Xi didn't care about the etiquette of his family in the palace, but Yun Lan knew that he was not fake politeness, so she accepted it.
