Pei Xingjian finally breathed a sigh of relief, with the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and this time he went back to face the ancestors and ancestors, and he could be regarded as having an explanation.

None of the villagers dared to go over and ask all of a sudden, like the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who were like heavenly soldiers and generals, why did they build a simple wooden house, even the most respected old lady in the village, looked at this scene and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Just now, someone was sent over to ask for their opinion, but before they could finish their words, they assumed that they agreed, and then the scene in front of them began.

The villagers, who had nothing to do on a snowy day, watched the Tang soldiers in full swing dragging the trees one by one with dozens of war horses to the open space, and a group of people borrowed a broom slightly better than the branches tied to the villagers' houses and swept out a large open space.

As the villagers saw these soldiers working, they talked and laughed one by one, and the nervousness and fear in their hearts gradually disappeared.

When people don't know an unknown piece of food, they often choose to hide and then observe, just like a beast in the mountains.

But when you observe and understand the habits of these people, and feel that you will not hurt yourself, or when you face these beasts and have enough self-protection ability, you will become more and more bold.

In less than an hour, the villagers began to dare to gather around the open space to watch the Tang soldiers build wooden houses, when they knew that these wooden houses were the future schools, some of them showed excited looks on their faces, and some were still hesitant, unwilling to let their children come to school.

"You dead ghost, why did you agree in the first place, why don't you say it if you don't want to, now that people have built a school, you can't let you go, you see, a wolf like a tiger, you dare to provoke?" A middle-aged woman kicked the calf of the man next to her and snorted dissatisfiedly.

My family has little labor, and the fields have been cultivated a lot last year, and the four children, one is younger than the youngest, and the first two years are the eldest and second, none of whom can help in farm work.

Now it's hard to pull into labor, and I can help the family do some farm work, but unexpectedly, someone put a bow and crossbow around the neck and went to this broken school.

What is the use of learning to read? If you can't eat it as food, and you can't grow crops, can you recognize a few words, and the crops in the field don't need to be planted, they can come out of themselves.

"If you don't say a word, why don't you say it? People are holding that black and cold guy, why don't you say it when you shrink in the corner? The man habitually patted the robe on his leg, which was already full of footprints, and said impatiently.

Some people quarreled and some people were curious, and after watching these soldiers who laid down their weapons and picked up the planks were not as terrible as they imagined, they began to test the soldiers who were working hard, and they had nothing to say.

"Big brother, why did you help those two people build a school? Who are they? ”

"yes, why do you want to help them? They've been living with us for a while. ”

"Didn't you come to get them back to the city?"

"What do you catch and go back to the city, this looks like the son and lady of the rich and noble family, and the school is also for our good, if you can't get it, it's the Xingyang County Order."

"It's good to build it, but who will learn it? You can't let my husband travel 30 miles to come to us to study, right? ”

A few families are happy and a few are worried, and the family has a lot of labor, and after being able to eat and solve the problem of food and clothing, they will pin their hopes on the next generation, hoping that the next generation can be admired like Mr. Neighboring Village.

But no matter what the villagers asked, none of the soldiers who were buried in their work were willing to answer their questions.

Pei Xingjian is also full of questions in his heart, it is a good thing to build a school, but who will learn it? You can't send the students of Chongwen Hall here, right?

"You can go back to Xingyang early tomorrow morning, bring me the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and I will try to see if this method is feasible." Li Hong hugged dozens of people around him, and slowly walked along the stream to the open space here.

"Yes, Your Highness, when I go back tomorrow, I will bring someone in person." Pei Xingjian didn't understand what Li Hong was going to do, but he also replied firmly.

"You don't want to come, a dignified Shangshu Provincial Right Servant shoots, and you don't feel tired of running these trivial things every day. Tomorrow, in addition to the head of the Zheng family, it is best to bring a few gentlemen who can learn to come. ”

Pei Xingjian understood this time, but after thinking about it, he said with some concern: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, right?" Now the Zheng clan in Xingyang is a clan of guilt, so let ...... go. ”

"Who said they were going to be spared? Aren't they unwilling to be weakened by me because of their influence among the corporal of the world? Then I will give them another opportunity to like to teach and educate people, so that they can have enough of the addiction of liking to worship the corporal of the world. Li Hong pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth, stood next to the clearing, and looked at the thick tree trunks, which stood up as pillars.

The people who had been watching the excitement in a circle around the open space, but when they saw the new villagers approaching surrounded by everyone, dozens of soldiers suddenly ran over and stopped them on the other three sides of the clearing, leaving an open side, and let the new villagers stand with another middle-aged man.

At this time, even if the villagers of the mountain village were stupid, they knew that this new villager could not be a villager, let alone a house slave who secretly ran out with a maid.

The rumors were naturally self-defeating when Li Hong stood here, but what was the identity of the new villager became a question mark in the hearts of the villagers.

So while watching the construction of the school, he would secretly glance at Li Hong and the others from time to time, and guessed in his heart which noble son Li Hong was.

Li Hong faced Pei Xingjian's still somewhat worried expression, and explained lightly: "Naturally, it is impossible to let them study in the name of Xingyang Zheng, they are all guilty bodies, how can they be famous?" Right? Therefore, no matter who comes here to study, he can only come here to study in the name of the East Palace Chongwen Museum, not only his Xingyang Zheng family, Boling Cui family, Taiyuan Wang family, can do this, oh, by the way, all the expenses of the school are also funded by them. ”

Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up when he listened: "Your Majesty is so scheming, in this way, the newly cultivated scholars and literati will only know the Chongwen Pavilion of the East Palace, and will not remember him Xingyang Zheng Clan, but you have firmly bound them with their self-proclaimed duty of teaching and educating people for the people of the world, and made them a part of the Chongwen Pavilion, completely dissolving their own influence, so that they can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis in the future, and they can't say anything about their suffering." If there is any more dissatisfaction, it is not a gentleman's doing. ”

"Hehe, that's what it means, in this way, ten years later, when there are new scholars and literati in the world, they will only remember the kindness of the imperial court and Chongwen Pavilion, as for their five surnames and seven wangs, they are just one of the East Palace, and their influence is ...... With the financial resources spent, how much will be left? Li Hong smiled like a "traitor" Cao Cao, and said triumphantly.

"But what about ten years from now? What should they do when they can't make ends meet? At that time, they will not be able to learn as sinful as they do today, and it will not even take a few years for them to start to be dissatisfied. Pei Xingjian, like everyone in this period, will think about it once and for all after getting a good idea.

And in their thoughts, just like the thoughts of the rulers of the upper and lower 5,000 people, they always think that the generation of a law and a law is eternal, and no matter how the court or the society changes, these laws and laws should not change.

For them, adaptation is a denial of the greatness of the emperors and sages, a disrespect for the decisions of the sages, and a betrayal of the ancestors.

Li Hong looked at the hot scene, and then looked at the villagers who would normally greet him, nodded to them with a smile, and then motioned for Pei Xingjian to leave.

"As a decision-maker, you should always be confident that every decision you make is the right one. In the same way, you must always be able to listen to the suggestions and suggestions of your subordinates with an open mind, and when practice proves that your decisions are completely wrong, you must have the courage to admit your mistakes, you must have the courage to assume the responsibility of the decision, and you must have the courage to set things right, so that you can control the decision-making body you are in. What's more, everything in this world is changing, nothing is static, flexibility is the characteristic needed to become a successful superior, on the battlefield, people dig trenches to stop your cavalry, you know that it is flexible and roundabout, why don't you know how to be flexible when it comes to the national affairs of the imperial court? In three or five years, the five surnames and seven hopes will exist, but no one knows for sure whether they will exist in their current form. Li Hongchang imagined that in his grand plan, he found a way to truly weaken the five surnames and seven hopes, and felt happy from the inside out.

"Your Highness taught me, and the minister wants to know, what to do when it comes to the five surnames and seven wangs, or the Xingyang Zheng family?" Pei Xingjian made a disciple salute to Li Hong and said.

This made the villagers, who were not far from them, almost drop their jaws when they peeked one by one!

In the era when the elders were respected, a person in his fifties actually bowed to a person in his twenties! This...... Who the hell is this new villager? How can it be so powerful! So honorable!

"Xingyang Zheng family should be the youngest of the five surnames and seven wangli, but its influence is still not comparable to other wealthy nobles. Therefore, in ten years, if their financial resources cannot support it, then they will play a document to the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Court, and then the Ministry of Rites will be ordered by the Imperial Court to allocate money, and the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang will die in less than ten years, what should I do next? It doesn't matter, the imperial court and the Ministry of Rites will cooperate with them to choose a head of the family and let him serve as the head of the family for five years, if it doesn't work, it won't change again, so that the cycle won't last a few years, and the court can even send a humanistic person to take over the Zheng family in Xingyang, so ...... At this time, is the Xingyang Zheng family still the Xingyang Zheng family? ”

"With teaching and educating people as the criterion, let the financial resources and influence of the Zheng family in Xingyang disappear after being absorbed by the imperial court, and then the imperial court will allocate funds to support it? The head of the family is in the hands of the imperial court, so ...... Isn't it that the Xingyang Zheng clan has become the Xingyang Zheng clan of the imperial court? has it become a different kind of Chongwen Pavilion in the hands of the imperial court, Hongwen Pavilion, and Guozijian? Pei Xingjian was shocked, His Royal Highness is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and if the Xingyang Zheng family is drained, there will be only one skin left.
