Chapter 724: The Emperor's Helplessness
Chen Ming will not be sensual to a young tooth, what kind of cultivation plan to play; He will not be excited because he has met historical celebrities, he has already seen and killed too many historical celebrities. What's more, Wang Zhenyi is not very famous in later generations, and she is not a stunning beauty, if it weren't for the appearance of this woman's name in some clear clothes, Chen Ming might not know who she is.
But isn't his status the same?
Naturally, the perspective and angle of looking at the problem will be different.
In Chen Ming's memory, Wang Zhenyi is a woman who works hard and has perseverance to study mathematics and astronomy. In the comfort of the Manchu era in history, she can achieve good achievements, if she is given a more relaxed environment, what kind of energy will she burst out?
Chen Ming also specially asked people to investigate Wang Zhenyi. Wang Zhenyi, who is not very young, has always been known as a talented woman in West Lake Girls' School, with a strong personality and liveliness, but as a girl, she likes to ride horses and shoot arrows, and she also likes to read books very much. This shows that although the living environment has changed, Wang Zhenyi has not been crooked.
Chen Ming has been advocating for women's schooling, but China's thousand-year-old tradition has been rigidly weighed on his head, making it very inconvenient to promote women's education in China. At this time, there needs to be a hero, an outstanding woman who is superior to men in some fields, and who is comparable to men, which can bring a great influence to the society and can also bring a lot of motivation to women all over the world.
So who else is more suitable than Wang Zhenyi?
Chen Ming is confident that he can train a group of excellent soldiers by himself, but he doesn't think that he can train an excellent female scientist if he wants to train a female scientist. Or it requires too much wealth and energy, and there is a big, big risk of failure.
If the plan fails, it will affect Chen Ming's predetermined strategy, and it will have a bad impact on the social change of the whole of China. The losses brought by the latter are even greater for Chen Ming.
And Wang Zhenyi, that is the existence that weakens everything to the lowest bottom line. At least Chen Ming has more confidence in her in his heart. Because historically, in worse and worse circumstances, she succeeded. Of course, Chen Ming would choose her.
It's like in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, cultivating Li Qingzhao; In Daoguang's later years, he went to find Fu Shanxiang; This woman's chances of becoming a talent are definitely greater.
No one would let go of a child named Hua Luogeng and ignore it, and go to cultivate a little kid named Zhang San, right?
And Wang Zhenyi's sense of Chen Ming at this time has also changed from the initial hatred to the love of the center.
The original annoyance was because Chen Ming went to Hangzhou to busy Wang Xichen, so that Wang Zhenyi's twelfth birthday was gone; And now I like it because Chen Ming transferred her father to Nanjing. In the future, she will not have to be separated from her family while she is in school.
When she heard the news, not to mention how happy Wang Zhenyi was, she began to worry about parting in the future after spending half of the happy vacation, but when she heard the news, her heart was really a stone to the ground. Not to mention that she happily and sadly wrote a post to her little sisters in Hangzhou to 'part', just said that her father Wang Xichen didn't have time to say goodbye to his relatives and colleagues in Hangzhou, so he quickly packed a few clothes and some simple daily necessities, and rushed to Nanjing with the holy car.
Wang Xichen has been an official in Hangzhou for more than two years, and some of the properties he has placed are all handled by the Wang family.
Shops, Granges, mainly these two.
I also ordered someone to take the post to the Wang family's distant and near friendship in Hangzhou to send an apology, there is a reason for the incident, please bear more responsibility.
However, plans are not changing quickly.
Within a few days, several of the Wang family's industries have not been completely taken off, and there is good news in Nanjing, Wang Xichen did not enter the cabinet secretariat, but went to the emperor's side of the secretary and supervisor, although the grade is still the fourth grade, but this is a world of difference from the weight of a Hangzhou prefect.
It's like a rabbit here, an ordinary city-level cadre, of course, is coaxed at the local level, but in the imperial capital, where is the director of the General Office of the Central Committee who has face?
In the blink of an eye, the situation faced by the Wang family was different.
has become overwhelming people who come to give gifts, and it is also beautiful for its name Cheng Yi. Although no one dared to send gold and silver treasures, the Wang family received several carriages for the local products of Hangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. That's the difference. In the past few days, even the servants of the Wang family have a look of honor.
But Li Xiaomei has been uncomfortable these days. Taking the opportunity of Xiao Li's family to see her, Li Xiaomei instructed: "Let my brother explore the details of the Wang family more." ”
"The emperor has been talking about that little girl for a long time, and I am panicking when he said it."
"That little girl is three or four years younger than Ding'er, and when she can get married, Ding'er will be twenty!"
The wrinkles on Li Xiaomei's forehead and brows can trap a mosquito when she speaks.
Xiao Li, who suddenly heard the earth-shattering news, was stunned and speechless, "The queen mother, don't say anything." Isn't this a curse for our prince? How unlucky...... "At that moment, she was really scared that she was a little bit of a masterless, a child of a fourth-grade official. What is the emperor doing?
Back at home, Xiao Li was also a little flustered. She said to her mother-in-law, "How do you think that this emperor thinks that one place is another? There are so many noble girls in Nanjing City, he has to choose a daughter of a fourth-grade petty official......"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sighed at each other. No one could understand what the emperor thought. Do you want to learn from Zhu Ming? The queen and the crown princess are only selected from small private households?
can see the emperor's cultivation of the princes and princesses, and he mixed a lot of people together early, and there is no connection with it. It doesn't look like that, right?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were completely confused. But they can't help but think about it carefully. Because it's time for his children to get married. The emperor's plan is also related to Li Hao's marriage to a certain extent. Li Hao is three or two years older than Chen Dingke. Now you can get married.
Of course, it is not only the Li family who is concerned about this matter, but the Xiao Huang family of the Chen Gang family is also worried about their children's marriage.
But Chen Gang went to Annan and brought his son with him.
The marriage was entrusted to Xiao Huang's to deal with in Nanjing alone, but Xiao Huang's was afraid, even if what Chen Gang said made sense, she didn't believe it all, and after Chen Gang went to Annan, she closed her door and didn't go out easily.
Now that's even harder.
The large Western table clock in the hall was just 11 o'clock at noon, and the servants had already pinched the bell when it rang.
In addition to Xiao Huang, who was standing in front of the desk copying scriptures, there were also two big maids and a grandmother guarding one side.
Xiao Huang is not young, he is almost forty years old, and his eyebrows are very peaceful, unlike ordinary sad women who always have a touch of meanness on their brows. Wearing a crimson regular dress, his body has no undulating curves, and there is no gold or silver on his head, but his sideburns are also oily and smooth, and there is no trace of messy hair.
She had a very serious face, and she glanced coldly at the maid servant, which could freeze people to death.
At this moment, she copied the scriptures there with her waist on her back, and after writing this chapter, she put down her pen and turned to sit on the couch, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then exhaled a breath.
Copying scriptures is to pray for the blessings of the elders, and it is to carry filial piety. There can be no casual and disrespectful gestures. Xiao Huang just wanted to turn around and twist his waist, so he had to leave the chair and walk out of the table first.
Xiao Huang doesn't have big skills, but she is stupid and stupid, and she knows how to show her filial piety. Copying scriptures is old-fashioned, but as long as it works.
Put down the teacup and continue to go back to copy the scriptures, and only after copying this volume did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The old lady in the palace, as well as the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother, who have been back in Beijing for a few months, are all things she wants to die for. Don't ask the palace to give her own children a good marriage, Chen Han doesn't like this anymore, Xiao Huang just wants to get a clear word.
Xiao Huang's plan for the morning was completed, and the time was already half past eleven. At this time, the maid in the house moved, a big girl went out and called the little girl to fetch hot water to come in and wash Xiao Huang's hands and face, the mother in the house helped Xiao Huang to sit down on the couch carefully, and the rest of the big girl knelt on the couch to gently rub Xiao Huang's shoulder.
Xiao Huang closed her eyes and rested for a while, Mama had been looking at her with concern, and only when she opened her eyes did she come forward and ask, "Madame, will you get up now, or will you rest again?" ”
"Get up, let the kitchen pass the meal, and I'll copy another scroll when I'm done." Xiao Huang washed his face with a hot hand towel, cheered up and asked the big girl to pass the meal.
Mama said distressedly: "Madame, let's take a nap after eating." Xiao Huang copied the scriptures with his body, his back and shoulders were the most tired, he copied two volumes of scriptures a day, and his arms were swollen at night.
Xiao Huang shook his head disagreeingly, "This is my filial piety, how can I be tired?" Besides, I'm tired like this, so what can I say if there is anything more pious? "There are also different methods and postures for copying scriptures, not to mention the blood book, such as the kneeling copying scriptures. The difficulty of its construction instantly killed the current Xiao Huang.
In China, whether it is in the current era or in the future, in the minds of the Chinese people, it is logical to equate the difficulty of copying scriptures with the sincerity of the scribes to their elders.
It's a ridiculous definition, but it's firmly in the minds of Chinese.
Xiao Huang is not unable to copy on her knees, but she is afraid that people will say that she is famous for her filial piety. There are also people in the palace copying scriptures, whether it is a concubine or a princess, many people are copying. Everyone was sitting and copying, but she was the only one who knelt and copied, which would offend many people.
The method of copying scriptures was very popular in the imperial palace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and this method was also extended to the Chen and Han dynasties, but the copying books were not limited to Buddhist scriptures, "Tao Te Ching", "Four Books and Five Classics", and various anthologies and anthologies were among them.
Of course, the old ladies and empress dowagers in the palace all believe in the Buddha, and copying Buddhist scriptures also carries the meaning of praying for blessings, making it more popular than others.
This is also the way for some concubines to pass the time, and it is also a way for some princes and princesses to prepare gifts.
After a while, lunch was brought in the kitchen, and a table was set up with cups, plates, dishes, and bowls. Xiao Huang's own meal is not allowed to support a large table, she sits on the couch, the small kang table in front of her is her favorite food, and the table under the couch is also full, but she almost can't even move a chopstick. The child didn't come, and other people naturally ate with their mothers, and she was already old and used her own food. This is the rule set by her man, Chen Gang. And what about Xiao Huang himself? There is also a rule. It is to cook a lot of dishes during meals, eat only what you like to eat, and give the rest to your subordinates after meals.
It was a rule she didn't know when she had learned, and she felt that doing so would deepen the bond between her master and her servant.
In Xiao Huang's eyes, it seemed that she could gain the loyalty of the servants more by 'eating the leftovers' than by adding vegetables to the servants.
……
At this time, Chen Ming was reading a note sent by Yunnan, about the resettlement of the mountain people in Yunnan.
Maybe it's because the ripe fan that is easy to place has been carried out.,It's the turn of the raw fan that has less contact with the outside world.。 Progress in the first half of the year was far from ideal. As for the Shufan, which has been resettled in the plains, the school-age children go to school very low, or the school-age children in Yunnan as a whole are very low.
It is the only province in the country where there is a surplus of educational resources.
That is, there are forty people in a class, and even the standard number of people is not satisfied.
Yunnan is the only case, not Anton and Lelang.
In a sense, this may seem like nothing, but this situation must affect the sinicization, because in this way, the promotion of Chinese Hanzi becomes difficult.
This phenomenon broke out in Yunnan last year, and the local government in Yunnan has now introduced new measures to 'adapt measures to local conditions'. They use interest-free loans as 'carrots' to attract young people to send their children to school. Because in addition to the low-interest loans stipulated by the state, the local government in Yunnan has also prepared a sum of money, which is completely interest-free to lend to those who are willing to send their children to school and are willing to borrow again.
If you send your school-age child to school, you will be eligible to apply for an interest-free loan.
People do not see rabbits and eagles.
Before you see the real benefits, no matter what you say, no matter how many promises you make, not many people will believe it.
The Yunnan Provincial Government has now submitted an application report, hoping that the central government can give some support to this policy, and they have many other ideas, but the school is a new thing, and the attraction of the people is just that.
I want all people, regardless of raw and familiar, regardless of young people and Han people, all of them are eager to go to school, and I am afraid that it will take time to change.
This is even a long time, and it will have to wait until the people open to the school and experience the benefits of it, and there must be a strong contrast, so that they will be enthusiastic.
Just like outsiders who work and do business in inland and coastal areas, many are willing to pay more for their children to go to school in their cities.
Isn't it because there are countless familiar examples that influence them? Before that, most of the people did not agree with the school, and they recognized the traditional academies, private schools, and the Four Books and Five Classics. But after seeing one example after another in reality, they quickly changed their minds.
For many people, 'reading the Four Books and Five Classics' is the same as 'reading the national language, mathematics, and nature', and in essence, they are both for the purpose of achieving higher achievements in the future. That's a ladder for them to change their lives.
After listening to Liu Zhixie's report, Chen Ming sighed.
"You go and tell the Cabinet, I'm done." Liu Zhixie was originally the No. 1 person in the military industrial system, but now that he has entered the secretariat, he has been recognized by Chen Ming in his work. In the future, he will appear in a more important position in the military-industrial system or the General Logistics Department.
There is no way to do anything about Yunnan.
The people would not want to. Chen Ming couldn't force the cow's head to drink water. We can only see the effect of this policy in Yunnan, and on the bright side, we should be able to make progress next year.
It's just a year to wait, Chen Ming can afford to wait for this time!
The same thing is happening in North Korea now......
