Min Ruoying waved his hand to rebuke the guards, the palace people, and left the Ming craftsman alone, he felt that this was an opportunity to get to know the Ming people well. From the intelligence of the internal guard, from those officials of his own, what he can get is always half a claw, like seeing flowers in the fog, and from the mouths of those officials of the Ming Kingdom, he will never get the things he wants to know, those who read are very cunning!

He never understood why Qin Feng was able to make such a big cause in a short period of time, swallowing and destroying Qin, and now he has become the biggest opponent of Qi State, and he has faintly become the atmosphere of dominating the world.

He Min Ruoying is the emperor's nobleman, he has received the most systematic education since he was a child, and he has set up a desire to dominate the world since he was a child, and for this, he does not hesitate to give up everything, including family affection. But in the end, he ended up in the embarrassing situation he is in.

How did Qin Feng do it?

The person in front of him, although he is a craftsman, is an official of the five grades of the Ming Dynasty, but he does not have the cunning of those scholars, so it is a good opportunity to understand the Ming people, or to explore something that he never knew before.

He sat on the wheel of the carriage casually, beckoning the craftsman to approach, the craftsman was a little uneasy in his heart, this time he followed the envoy to the Chu State, mainly to ensure that there would be no problems in the installation of this super luxurious carriage, where did he ever think that he would encounter the emperor of the Chu State?

Although he is an official of the five grades, but the people who get along with him are basically the same craftsmen as him, and the officials he comes into contact with are the most people from the Ministry of Industry and Construction Department, he has only seen the emperor once in his life, that is, he took a few apprentices to study the iron thing that was finally named the Lu's flywheel by the emperor.

"In your Ming Kingdom, can craftsmen easily become officials?" Min Ruoying asked casually.

The tension in Lu Song's heart relaxed slightly, the emperor in front of him didn't look very scary, just like His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty he had seen, when he talked to someone like him, he was soft and kind.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not like this, in our Ming Dynasty, if a craftsman wants to have an official status, he must make a very outstanding contribution." Lu Song said: "Just like a petty official, it was because he invented the four-wheeled carriage and solved the steering and control problems of the four-wheeled carriage that he was awarded the official body, and this time because of the invention of the flywheel, he was exceptionally promoted to a five-grade master."

"Is this what it is?" Min Ruoying spun the flywheel in her hand.

"Yes!" Lv Songdao.

"How many teenagers have you read?" Min Ruoying asked.

Lu Song's face flushed: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiaguan's family was poor when he was young, where did he have spare money to study, and if he was a little sensible, he followed the master to learn the craft, that is, after receiving the official body by the grace of His Majesty Daming, I invited a gentleman to teach Xiaguan to read and write, and now I can only barely understand official documents."

Min Ruoying smiled and said, "Are all your craftsmen like you?"

"Basically!" Lu Song said: "But now we are Ming, even the dolls are literate, we are also officials, and it is really unreasonable to be illiterate, so even if it is painful, we have to learn hard, Your Majesty said, if we are illiterate, then how can we pass on our knowledge?" How can you write a book and make a name for yourself?"

"You also want to write a book?" Min Ruoying wanted to laugh a little, people who had just learned a few words, did they know what it was like to write a book?

"Your Majesty doesn't know." Lu Song said with a straight face: "Our Emperor His Majesty said that the books we are going to write in the future are not allowed to talk about any literary brilliance or any other things, but how to invent these things and how to make these things clear and understandable, so that people can know what is going on at a glance, so that we can be literate, smooth and smooth, and make the questions clear, as long as we achieve this goal, we will be able to leave our name in history."

Min Ruoying couldn't help but be moved: "These are the guys you eat, you wrote him into a book and spread it, wouldn't everyone know about it, wouldn't it be for your children and grandchildren?" You know, with this one thing, your children and grandchildren will have no end in food and clothing."

"Don't you dare to think so!" Lu Song said with a smile: "Without our Emperor Majesty, how can we have such a good life now, His Majesty the Emperor said, only better things, no best things, our things are spread, there will be smart people who will improve them better after learning, better things appear, we can be more prosperous, but we dare not delay the future of our Ming Dynasty for their own selfish interests." Besides, don't say that people like us, like important ministers like Lord Shu, have now opened medical schools to teach their own medical skills, and those miracle doctors in the Ming Dynasty are all lecturing in medical schools, each of which is making his most proud medical skills public, and printing them into books for others to learn, what are our little insect carving skills?"

"So that's what you think?" Min Ruoying looked at this craftsman who had not read a book with some shock, the reason seems to be very simple, but how many people in the world can really do?

"Shouldn't you think so?" Lu Song looked at this Emperor of Chu State a little strangely, he thought it was very simple and reasonable, why would the Emperor of Chu State be strange?" I am for all, all for me! I do this, of course, I have to do better, I build the carriage, I want to make the carriage more comfortable, so that people can sit more comfortably, the agricultural officials have worked hard to cultivate new good seeds, just to grow more food, feed more people, iron and steel smelting steel better, can build better weapons and armor to protect us, even if it is used to make agricultural tools, it can also be used better, so that people can save more effort."

"Do you all think so?" Min Ruoying asked a little heavily.

"That's not necessarily the case, of course, there are also people who think for themselves, there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, how can they all be the same idea? But most people think about it. We people, we have suffered a lot in the past, suffered a lot of losses, that is, after the founding of our Ming Dynasty, people like us have a bright day, and only then did we live a life without worrying about food and clothing, how dare we not cherish our current life! Now, there are still Qi people who are eyeing us and want to take away our good days, so everyone wants to work hard in one place, and they have to defeat the Qi people, so everyone can feel at ease!" Lv Songdao.

Min Ruoying was silent for a moment: "Then our Da Chu, is it also one of your potential enemies?" Your Majesty the Emperor, didn't you think about dominating the world?"

Lu Song was stunned for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty, aren't Da Chu and Da Ming a country of in-laws, our queen mother is the eldest princess of Da Chu, how can they fight?" We are allies now, we have a common enemy, that is, the Qi country, aren't the two of us fighting together now?"

Min Ruoying smiled, the craftsman official in front of him probably didn't really think about this kind of problem, although he was an official, he was still looking at the problem from the perspective of a lowest-level common people, but this was not a bad thing for Da Chu.

"Yes, yes, you are right, Da Chu and Da Ming are the country of in-laws, like your brother of Ma Junshou of Changyang County is the first assistant of our Da Chu!"

"Ma Gong's subordinate officials know, that is a model for our Ming officials!" Lu Song was also a little excited, "Xia Guan didn't know that Ma Gong's elder brother was actually the first assistant of Da Chu."

"So we are two countries and one family!" Min Ruoying smiled: "By the way, what is the matter with the dolls of Daming who are all studying?"

"Oh, this is the holy decree of our Ming Emperor, when the children reach the age of six, they all have to be sent to the school to read and write, if the parents don't send it, they will have to pay taxes! You think, that dare to disobey, now most of our villages in the Ming Dynasty have schools, I heard that our Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mr. Xiao is in his early seventies, and he is still working tirelessly to run around, determined to make every village have a recitation, every family has a reader, His Majesty the Emperor also said, Mr. Xiao really has to do this, he is a hundred years later, His Majesty the Emperor will personally help him to send the coffin!"

"Every village has a reading voice, and every family has a reader!" Min Ruoying silently read it a few times, and a burst of fear involuntarily arose in her heart, Old Man Xiao He knew, that was a famous scholar in the world, that is, in the Chu State, it was also a famous person, such a person could actually put down the shelf and run around for Qin Feng all over the world, does this Qin Feng really have such a great charm?

"Now we have a primary school, a middle school, a university hall, children start from reading and literacy, step by step upward reading, to the middle school hall will begin to be classified, according to each person's different interests, there are different gentlemen to teach different knowledge, children grow up, they will not worry about livelihood."

"It costs a lot of money to educate a child, right?"

"The elementary school doesn't cost money. Even Mr.'s salary is from the imperial court! It is only when the middle school hall is that it starts to be charged, but with the current income level of our Ming people, it is more than enough for our children to study." Lu Song said proudly.

Min Ruoying was talking to Lu Songpan in the east and west, and she didn't notice that in the distance, Yang Qing, the commander of the internal guard, had been standing there for a while, but he was stopped by the eunuch, so he didn't come over.

"What will Your Majesty say to that craftsman again?" Yang Qing asked the eunuch anxiously.

"I don't know!" The eunuch shook his head and said: "Commander Yang, Your Majesty seems to be very interested, you better wait for a while, otherwise you will make Your Majesty angry, Your Majesty has been in a very bad mood for the past few days."

Yang Qing nodded. Thank you father-in-law for the point."

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yang Qing finally saw Min Ruoying walking over slowly, on his face, full of stunned expressions, Yang Qing actually saw a touch of fear in the emperor's eyes.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how could a small unpopular craftsman make His Majesty the Emperor have such emotions?
