When Jin Yiwei's report was sent to the capital, Zhu Youxiao was reviewing the teaching materials of the new-style school with the ministers. Zhu Youxiao said: "Everyone is tired, then take a rest, and the clerk, you can read the report and listen to it." ”

The clerk reads: "...... Jiannu slaughtered more than 100,000 grainless people, and some people who did not meet the conditions of grainless people were also killed as grainless people because of their abundance of food, and then their grain was confiscated. ”

"The ministers and others dispatched all the Jinyi guards in Liaodong to spread the news that Jiannu was going to slaughter the people of Wugu, but the believers were smeared, and there were only more than 30,000 people who fled Liaoshen with us. Some Hermes-Epitek also whistle-blowers to Houjin, resulting in the loss of three small flags of our Jinyi Guard. ”

"Master Lu led the first division to surround Anshan Station, killed all the Houjin people and hung them on the city wall, and wrote the words "blood for blood" and "slaughter the city if you don't surrender" and then retreated to Haizhou."

After the clerk finished reading, Zhu Youxiao was silent for a long time and said: "This is a typical foolish people. The people can make it happen, but the result of the unknowable is like this. ”

The ministers also fell into deep thought. After a while, Zhu Youxiao said: "The reason why I want to add the subject of general knowledge is to let people know some of the most basic knowledge, let people know the concept of the country and the nation, and let the Ming people know that we are descendants of Yanhuang and Miao, and the people of China." We are civilized people with the beauty of uniforms and great etiquette. These people actually want to cooperate with barbarians like Jiannu, such a number of people who have forgotten their ancestors, I am ashamed to be of the same clan as such people. ”

Ye Xianggao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have only now understood His Majesty's painstaking efforts to open a common sense subject. The old minister is willing to follow His Majesty's words as Guigao and compile this common sense textbook. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "I already have a draft of the general knowledge textbook, and it depends on Master Ye for polishing. In addition, you should also take a closer look, one person is short, and I have not taken into account some opinions, and then add them, and everyone will work together to improve the general knowledge textbook. ”

All the ministers said yes together. At this time, Xu Guangqi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this draft of common sense says that in the event of a dispute, you should first negotiate, and then turn to the court officials if the negotiation fails, will this weaken the dignity of the court?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This passage needs to be changed, this is the case among the Ming people in China, and for outsiders, they must also negotiate first, and if the negotiation fails, they must start first." ”

Xu Guangqi's face is full of black lines, isn't that what I mean? Where did you go? He looked straight at the Emperor and remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao understood what he meant, and said: "Sir, don't worry, I think it is necessary to negotiate first, because this will make everyone good at communication, and it can also reduce the burden on local officials, so I wrote like this." ”

In fact, the most important problem is that Zhu Youxiao feels that the premise of contract theory is, of course, negotiation, and mutual compromise is the basic quality that normal adults should have.

Xu Guangqi shook his head, always feeling that the emperor's answer was a bit evasive, but he was not very good at asking. He pointed to another sentence and said: "Your Majesty, men are eighteen years old, and women are sixteen years old before they have a mature body and a mature mind, so they should only get married after reaching this age. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I also know that I can't implement it, at least not now." That's why I didn't use the law to restrict it, but just put it up in the general knowledge textbook, and I asked a few medical students to explore the structure of the human body, and they should soon be able to come to a more scientific conclusion to prove that this statement is justified. I put it forward now, but I hope to let some people know the disadvantages of early marriage, doesn't it point out that the proportion of women who marry early is much higher than that of mature women? This should make some people take this into account and postpone the time of marriage. ”

Xu Guangqi was very puzzled, probing the structure of people's bodies? Justifying Late Marriage? How to find out? He didn't expect the emperor to have students dissect corpses, otherwise, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground in fright. Although he is a scientist, he is first and foremost a traditional Chinese.

Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, why do you wash your hands before and after eating, because there are bacteria on our hands that we can't see, but we can't see them, so how do we know if there are them?" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Even if it wasn't because of bacteria, it should be clean." The bacteria will soon be able to see it, and it will never be wrong to write like this, because I have seen it. ”

Fang Congzhe didn't understand, since he could only see it later, where did the emperor see it? However, he did not dare to ask more questions on this question, and instead asked: "Your Majesty, it is only a bit inappropriate to say here that every adult is an independent individual who can decide the direction of his own life. In the matter of marriage, pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, and there is no way for you to make your own decisions. ”

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "I don't think there's any problem with this, isn't it good to make your own decisions about marriage?" ”

This stabbed the hornet's nest, Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, be cautious." I rule the world with filial piety, and this matter must not be done. ”

And Ye Xianggao, Xu Guangqi, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others also said together: "Your Majesty, the matter of marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The gift of China should not be wasted. ”

This made Zhu Youxiao a little blind, he wanted to advocate the emancipation of human nature, and he didn't want to meet the opposition of all the cabinet members in terms of the first goal, freedom of marriage. With a little expectation, he asked, "Is this absolutely not feasible?" ”

And they all said no. Ye Xianggao explained: "Your Majesty, the father and son of the monarch and the minister, this is the three outlines, after Dong Zhongshu put it forward, it has been applied to all dynasties and generations, and Your Majesty cannot change it. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought he had seized the loophole and said: "Since it was only proposed by Dong Zhongshu, it is not necessarily right, and it is not proposed by a saint." ”

Ye Xianggao replied with an embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, the sage also put forward the theory of kings and ministers in the Analects, fathers and sons, and Dong Zhongshu just inherited the sage's theory and further developed it. He couldn't directly say that the emperor didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, so he had to say it in a tactful way, so as not to embarrass the emperor.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you have always advocated only the words of the sage, in fact, this can also be exquisite, we can reinterpret the words of the sage, just like the people can make it last time, isn't it also a redefinition of the words of the sage?" ”
