Zhang Duan paused word by word, for fear that Su Shi would not understand.

"What's that...... If Zhou Dunshi succeeds, our days will not be over, no matter what, we must ask Master to go out of the mountain! ”

"Is it important?"

Zhang Dian nodded vigorously, "Very important!" ”

"Is it more important than the brown panda?" Su Shi said casually.

"What brown panda?" Zhang was puzzled.

Su Shi explained, "That's right, my sister said, half a year ago, a brown panda was born, and in a lot of black and white, there was a colorful ...... Did you know? My brother-in-law is happy, staring at it every day, writing records, and he is going to study it, the mystery of the brown panda...... Therefore, if there is nothing to do with the court, don't bother him. Actually, I also want to go and see, Brother Zihou, are you going? ”

"I'll you!"

Zhang Dian was crazy, "Su Zizhan, is your brain in water?" Science launched Zhou Dunshi, they are not well-intentioned, if they let them take away the council this time, it will be a bad thing, how many times do you have to say it before you can understand? ”

Su Shi rolled his eyelids, "It's strange if I can understand?" Zhangdun, four years ago, my brother-in-law handed over the power to you, and also established the New Political Society, and now the political affairs hall, the six departments, all the provinces, up and down, are all your people...... Zhou Dunshi is just a bad old man, what is he capable of? You are even afraid of him, my brother-in-law is really blind, how can you cultivate a bunch of waste rice buckets? Tell me, what can you do well? Do you still have the face to sit in the position of the heavenly official? I see you get out of here as soon as possible, don't be ashamed! ”

This stinking scolding made Zhang Dian stunned.

Seems to make sense!

Zhou Dunshi is not an official anymore, and he is old, what's the big deal...... No, it's not!

Zhang Dian shook his head again and again, his expression was solemn, "Brother Zizhan, don't pretend to be confused, the current Great Song Dynasty is different from before...... Over the years, the number of readers alone has increased by 30 million, and you should understand that if you read more books and know more truths, it will be difficult to manage! ”

"It's not easy to bully, is it?" Su Shi scoffed.

Zhang Dian didn't debate with him, "You can say whatever you want, so many scholars, from the bottom up, this force is too great, if science is mastered by the people, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

……

Su Shi has been in the local area for so many years and has witnessed too many changes with his own eyes, can he not count in his heart!

A lot of things are unexpected.

For example, at the beginning, Wang Ningan promoted education for all, and after Su Song succeeded him, he continued to increase investment, and now he spends as much as 80 million yuan on education every year, not counting local investment.

As a result, the literacy rate of the Great Song Dynasty exceeded 60% in one fell swoop, approaching 70%, and according to the population conversion, the number of literate people should be almost 100 million.

What is this concept?

At present, in the world, except for the Great Song Dynasty, all literate people add up, I am afraid that there are less than 10 million, or even lower!

For example, many Arab princes, who were illiterate, managed their territories and handled official affairs, all relying on specially trained Mamluks.

As for Europe, the English language has only been around for more than 100 years, and it wasn't until 300 years later that the British royal family's library had three books!

Let's just put it this way, we have Tang poetry, English has appeared in the West, we cultivate Yongle the Great, and the British king only has three parchment scrolls. The difference between civilizations cannot be reasoned with.

Of course, no matter how great the ancestors are, if the descendants don't use them, they will lose the family business...... It's just that the appearance of Wang Ningan has widened the already huge gap.

Isn't this the realm pursued by sages?

It should be a big book and celebrate happily!

Don't be busy!

It's not that simple.

There are many literate people, even if only one percent are interested in the law, and they study the criminal law, find out the rules, and protect themselves...... The servants of the imperial court no longer want to arrest people casually, and they don't want to be powerful.

If anyone does it, someone will immediately publish it in the newspapers, and then there will be a public uproar...... Of course, this does not mean that there is no nonsense, in some remote places, including conservative villages, people are still afraid of the imperial court and the fear of being officials, but in the big cities, it is clear that the situation has changed a lot.

In a word, it is more difficult to govern, and it is countless times bigger! It's heavenly!

When you face a group of illiterate people, you can beat and scold them and force them to obey...... But in the face of a group of readers, it is necessary to reason and convince ...... But the problem is that people can talk better than you, which is embarrassing!

Zhang Dian was very helpless, "Brother Zizhan, the imperial court has done a lot of things in the past few years, but it can do a lot of mistakes, do less mistakes, and don't do it well...... Since things have been done, it is inevitable that there will be controversy. Those newspapers are accustomed to talking nonsense, digging through and attaching them, and doing their best to sarcastically ridicule. You know, we're in a pretty difficult situation. ”

Su Shi sneered twice, "What's so difficult, to put it bluntly, it's just that the people's hearts are not on your side, you are afraid!" Su Shi criticized unceremoniously, "I said a long time ago, a few years ago, I had to find an official who could do things, but then I had to find an official who could do things best...... But the problem is that you don't listen, you close the door, you feel that you are amazing, you are in a high position, and you are full of words. Your Majesty is out on the expedition, and my brother-in-law is not in the capital, so no one can take care of you, so you will be tossed by your temperament...... Okay this time, got into trouble, right? No tricks, right? I still want my brother-in-law to come out and take the blame for you, dream! Even if I could, I wouldn't help! Do your own sin, find your own way! ”

Zhang Dan's face was red and white, the muscles at the corners of his mouth kept trembling, and he held back a sentence for a while: "Su Zizhan, you are not as good as before!" ”

"It's not as foolish as it used to be! See you later! ”

After speaking, Su Shi picked up a piece of chopsticks and mutton, soaked it in the sauce, swallowed it all, there was nothing left, turned around and walked away, when he left, he even had the urge to sing a song, it was really happy, and finally came out of the evil anger!

Zhang Dan was left crying.

What made him cry even more was still to come, after Zhou Dunshi entered Beijing, he only rested for two days before he went to the altar to give a lecture.

The old man's voice was loud and coherent.

On the first day, he mainly talked about his own articles, expounding a lot of them, such as Wuji, Taiji, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Movement and Quiet, Main Quiet, Sincerity, Desirelessness, Hue...... and so on.

To be honest, there are really not many people who are interested in these things, but they can't stand the old man's fame, so they can only listen.

But on the second day, the energetic one came, and on the basis of the first day, Zhou Dunshi began to explain the royal road, benevolent government, love the people, and simple government, and there was no lack of criticism of the imperial court's practices.

On the third day, the old man threw off his arms directly, and he attacked strongly, believing that the imperial court did not conform to the changes of heaven, acted wantonly, robbed the people's wealth, abused the people's power, had strict laws, and harmed living beings...... Under Zhou Dunshi's attack, the entire political hall was almost useless.

Fortunately, the old gentleman was quite restrained, and Zhao Shu's foreign troops were not counted...... Obviously, he also knew that he could attack the political hall, but the emperor must not touch it!

Not only could not be touched, Zhou Dunshi also praised Zhao Shu for opening up the territory and expanding the territory, which was better than the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty...... Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he should take over the power, appoint virtuous ministers, be considerate of the people, take care of the people, rectify the dynasty, and turn the tide.

Zhou Dunshi's opinion, under the impetus of well-intentioned people, spread rapidly, and the speed was unprecedented.

There are also many people who have also written articles exposing various problems, and pointed their fingers at the political affairs hall and the New Politics Society.

For this wave, Su Song saw it very clearly.

"Over the years, there have indeed been some things in our governance that have not been delicate enough, and sometimes we are eager for quick success, and we always rely on strength to push ...... Also, we ignore propaganda and education, thinking that we have done a good job and cover up all the ugliness. As everyone knows, there has been too much resentment and dissatisfaction among the people, they may not support science and Zhou Dunshi, but they hope that someone will stand up, scold us, and vent their anger for them! ”

Zhang Dian was very helpless, "The prime minister is right, but the problem is that if Zhou Dunshi and Lixue grasp this popular sentiment, our situation will be very difficult." ”

At this time, Lu Huiqing spoke, "Your Majesty's intention is to tend to set up a council...... But who will be in command of the council and how much power it will have is still undecided...... In any case, however, the Parliamentary Assembly must conform to the will of the people, and if we let the science of science grasp the trend of public opinion, and they stand on the moral high ground and wantonly criticize it, it will be very difficult for us to govern, and it will even affect the overall situation. ”

"That's why I suggested asking Master to go out of the mountain, only his old man can suppress Zhou Dunshi!." Janden suggested again.

Sima Guang waved his hand, "Impossible, at the end of the year, I went to visit the master, he even wanted to push off the matter of the New Politics Society, how could he take over the political meeting, isn't this asking for trouble?" ”

Sima Guang didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew that the council represented the people, the emperor, and the imperial court were natural opponents, Wang Ningan and Zhao Shu, and everyone present were teachers and students, could he run over and go against his students?

"Alas, if Master doesn't come, then who can do it? How about the husband of the couple? Zeng Bu suggested.

Su Song shook his head, "Xiangfu has always been in poor health, and he is concentrating on legislation and policy, and he is unwilling to wade into troubled waters." ”

Everyone looked around, but there was no suitable candidate.

At this time, Lu Huiqing, who had the most ghost ideas, suddenly thought of someone.

"What do you think of Wen Xianggong?"

"Wen Yanbo?"

Big guy, look at me, I'll look at you...... This old guy can hold down Zhou Dunshi, but will he raise a tiger for trouble?

……

"Erlang, this is the old man's latest learning experience, take a look."

Wen Yanbo sent a thick stack of paper to Wang Ningan.

Wang Ning'an held the brown roll in his arms, and simply used the little guy's round back as a desk, looking at what Wen Kuanfu wrote, and the little thing made a choking sound from time to time, as if in protest.

"I said Brother Kuanfu, I can't even stand it, you are so old, why do you have to join the New Politics Society?"

Wen Yanbo probed his body and said with a straight face: "The old man used to be an official and govern, and there were too many omissions, and I joined the New Politics Society to start from scratch and be a new person!" ”

"What if I don't agree?"

"I'm going to keep going!" Wen Xianggong was more resolute. ...
