After sending off the old master Kong, Han Wangran didn't have time to rest, and a messenger ordered the Yingchuan County Shouxun to ask to see him outside.

"Xuan!" Han Wangran knew that Xun was mostly coming to report to him.

Unexpectedly, Xun Kuang opened his mouth but first talked about the matter of Old Master Kong. "Your Majesty, Mr. Kong didn't offend you, did he?"

Seeing Xun Jing's nervous expression, Han Wangran couldn't help but smile and said, "The widow is also a person who respects his teacher!" Mr. Kong is highly respected, so how can he be offended! ”

Xun Guo breathed a long sigh of relief. Han Wangran immediately asked, "What?" Xun Aiqing has been guarding the palace gate? ”

Xun Jing nodded, and said helplessly: "The king also knows that when he was young, he asked Mr. Kong for advice and served as a disciple. Mr. Kong's temperament could not be clearer. Although the people behind the discussion were not gentlemen, Mr. Kong was indeed a little old-fashioned. The minister was afraid that Mr. Kong would offend the king, so he stayed outside the door inch by inch. ”

Han Wangran couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Self-denial is benevolence, and Aiqing deserves this benevolent word." Speaking of which, you masters and apprentices haven't seen each other for a few days, and when Old Master Kong went out, why didn't you go with you? ”

Xun Guo smiled bitterly and explained: "The king can know that although the minister is from Confucianism, he has learned a lot of things, and he is involved in Legalism, Mohism, and farming. Mr. Kong is an orthodox Confucian, and he disagrees with some of the ministers' ideas. ”

Han Wangran heard the distress in Xun Jingyan's words, and comforted: "The times are developing, and it is no longer practical to copy the old ideas. The widow thinks that Xun Aiqing's proposition is the proposition for the benefit of the common people in the world, hehe. ”

Xun Guan bowed, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. Is there anything more important for a courtier than having his ideas appreciated by the king?!

Han Wangran personally helped Xun Qian up and said, "The widow sent someone to invite Old Master Kong from Qufu this time. but for the edification of all nations. Aren't you Confucians paying attention to the people fighting without teaching, are you abandoning them? This is true for military affairs, let alone civilians. What a world! There are too many illiterate people. Adults are just that, those children always have the right to learn knowledge! ”

Speaking of educating the people, Xun Qian's interest also rose, "The king asked Master Confucius to be responsible for educating the people." This responsibility is heavy! ”

Han Wangran smiled, and said in his heart that if the responsibility is not heavy, Master Kong may not be willing to accept it!

"But", Xun Jing's tone changed, and he said: "Educating the people is a great cause for a thousand years, and Old Master Confucius doesn't have enough manpower, right?" ”

Han Wangran nodded, and immediately came up with his plan. When Xun Guo heard that Han Wangran planned to build a school in each village, Xun Guo's face was even more surprised.

"Your Majesty, will three years be too short?"

"Will it?" Han Wangran asked suspiciously. The memory in my mind tells me that there will be a school in the village in the future generation! Even dynasties like the Tang and Song dynasties. There are also a lot of schools.

"Today, there are 3 million people in South Korea, half of whom live in villages outside the city. According to the calculation of 300 households in one village, there are 1,000 villages. If there are two gentlemen in each village, there will be two thousand gentlemen! The king knew that Confucius had 3,000 disciples, and these 3,000 were not all willing to educate the people. Mr. Kong has fewer disciples, only more than 100 people, and the gap here is too big. ”

After hearing this, Han Wangran realized that he was thinking too much. No, it's thinking too little! How can I encourage the talents of the recruitment hall? This huge gap cannot be filled. King Han immediately calculated the resources that could be mobilized in his hands, five hundred, and he could only summon a maximum of five hundred people without affecting the normal selection of officials. It seems that there can only be one school in two villages.

"This matter is indeed inconsiderate of the widow, but fortunately, the widow has not yet told the whole country. Xun Aiqing. If you want to have a school in your village within ten years, you should be able to do it, right? ”

Xun Jing nodded and said, "Seven or eight years is enough." However, the king will definitely expand his territory in the next few years, and the newly occupied land will not be able to keep up with this policy. It's still hard to say. ”

Han Wangran laughed and quipped: "You are so confident in the widow? The widow may be friendly with the Six Kingdoms and not use the sword! ”

If this is the case, the minister wishes he had thought about it more. However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and South Korea is located in the land of four wars. I'm afraid that even if we want peace, we can't ask for it! ”

Han Wangran thought so, and asked instead, "How is the new law being implemented in Yingchuan?" The heavy snow for several days in the past few days has delayed a lot of time, right? ”

"Indeed, as the king said, the progress has fallen a lot. However, in another half a month, the snow should melt, but it won't take a month, and the time should be in time! ”

"That's good! There are many mountains in Shangdang, which are not as good as your Yingchuan. As long as you can accomplish it, the widow's heart can be put down. ”

Xun Guo hesitated three times, but still asked, "Does the Great Gift King of Tomorrow really want to do this?" ”

"What? Isn't it possible? Han Wangran asked with interest.

Xun Guo sighed and said, "Now whether it is the Qin State, the Zhao State, or the Qi State, they are all emphasizing the supremacy of royal power. The king is so courteous and virtuous, and the ministers are afraid that the kings of the countries will laugh at him! ”

Han Wangran waved his hand and replied very cleverly, "Mencius has a saying that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." What is the use of a widow who wants to rule the world with Dr. Qing and put himself in such a high position! ”

Xun Guan knew that he couldn't convince Han Wangran, and after chatting about Yang Zhai's customs for a while, he could only say goodbye and leave.

Han Wangran thought for a while, and said to the eunuch Ling beside him: "Go and invite Lord Lang Zhongling!" ”

"Whoa!" The eunuch ordered to retreat cautiously.

After a while, Meng Fu walked in and saluted, "Your Majesty!" ”

Han Wangran nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Meng Aiqing, tomorrow is the New Year Hall, are you ready?" ”

"Your Majesty, as soon as you are ready, you can only have an auspicious time tomorrow."

"The guests who are responsible for guiding the nobles and ministers must not make any mistakes!"

"Don't worry, the king will tell them later!"

The next day, the sixth day of the first lunar month, is the annual Chinese New Year ceremony in South Korea. It is said to be a ceremony, but it is actually a banquet. At the feast, the king encouraged his courtiers for their hard work over the past year. The reward that should be rewarded, the punishment that should be punished, and then the king put forward some hopes for the coming year, and finally the king and the ministers rejoiced.

However, this year's Chinese New Year celebration in South Korea is a little different than usual. First of all, Han Wangran revealed that hundreds of officials can bring their female dependents, that is, their wives, to participate. reminds me of Han Wangran's appointment a few days ago when he crowned the wife of a hundred officials as Mrs. Decree. Where do the ministers know. Han Wangran wants to improve the treatment of women. In other words, I want to bring Queen Ji Miao to the banquet openly.

According to the usual rules, the queen may or may not participate in this New Year ceremony. However, this time, since the king released his words, the ministers naturally wanted to bring their own wives with interest. In this way, the atmosphere of the family banquet is stronger. If you can get closer to the queen, you can naturally get along with the king more harmoniously.

The ladies of Xinzheng were very busy during this time, because of the opposition of some Confucian scholars, only women and villains were difficult to raise, and they also opposed women attending this ceremony, and the ladies blew a huge pillow wind. It made the officials miserable. It was not until the Confucians were defeated that the turmoil in Xinzheng calmed down.

Shin Shi, Han Wanggong.

The ministers greeted each other warmly outside the hall, and the number of people in the flat air was doubled, and it was very lively. Lang Wei on the side was a little worried about maintaining order, but all the people present were powerful, and if there was a little chaos, it might cause trouble. Fortunately, the ministers and noblewomen knew that the ceremony was imminent and were able to restrain themselves.

"Prime Minister. Why don't you open the door today? According to the usual custom, we should enter the temple early to wait for the king. Look, this hour is almost here! An official inquired about Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping smiled inscrutablely. comforted: "Zhou Changshi, you'll know later." The king's action must have meant a lot! ”

Zhou Changshi was confused and nodded depressedly. When did the prime minister become secretive.

Just when the ministers were waiting a little anxiously, the voice of the eunuch order sounded: "The king has a decree, the ministers enter the palace!" ”

Entering the main hall, the ministers found that Han Wangran and the queen were standing next to the case. But he didn't sit down. There are fifteen seats on each side of the left and right sides. The ministers wanted to salute, but Han Wangran smiled and waved his hand and refused. When I look at it again, Prime Minister Zhang Ping, Imperial Doctor 'Zhang Lu', where does the Taiwei Violent Kite have the meaning of saluting. The ministers were even more puzzled in their hearts. What was even more puzzling was that Taichang Wang Fang actually walked to Han Wangran's side, and Han Wangran nodded slightly. Taichang stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please invite the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Changxin to sit at the table!" ”

Zhang bowed and sat down calmly in front of his seat under the leadership of Lang Wei.

King Taichang did not change his color, and continued: "The king invites the Imperial Doctor and the Marquis of Wenxing to the table!" ”

Fan Sui also saluted, and his own Lang Wei took him to the designated position, followed by Taiwei Tyrant Kite. Although the rest of the ministers were shocked, they felt both honored and excited in their hearts when they saw that the three princes were so calm. What an honor it is to have the King invite himself to the table! All the ladies also felt very embarrassed, and even a little scared.

Next were Jiuqing, the four county guards, the county lieutenants, and the four viscounts, and all the officials with a rank of more than 2,000 stone or more than the rank of viscount were invited to the table by Han Wangran one by one. During the whole process, Han Wangran and the queen did not complain. Just when the ministers thought that there were more seats, Taichang Wang Fang said loudly again: "The king invites the dean of Yingchuan Academy, Kong Shang, to sit down. "The king invited the professors of Yingchuan College - Mo Jia Lu Xun, Legalist Su Kui, farmer Zhang Kun, merchant Hu Yan, and Zongheng Jia Li Zheng to sit at the table."

Before the words fell, Han Wangran actually took the queen Ji Miao to take the initiative to salute and said, "Gentlemen, you have worked hard! ”

Although Kong Shang, who was at the forefront, was a little dissatisfied with Han Wangran being so polite and virtuous, Han Wangran already respected himself so much as a literati, and he really couldn't say anything without pretense. What's more, the literati have a good name, as long as the New Year Hall today reveals a trace of news, the world is bound to envy themselves. Therefore, some old masters who admired vanity entered the table under the leadership of Lang Wei.

After everyone took their seats, Han Wangran and the queen sat down under the guidance of Lang Guan. Han Wangran looked around and said calmly and competently: "Today is the annual Spring Festival ceremony, here, I would like to thank all Aiqing for their hard work and hard work for the country in the past year. Mencius once said that the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. The widow doesn't want the widow to regard the widow as a countryman and a revenge. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but Han Wangran spoke a lot more funny.

Han Wangran continued: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Although my South Korea is not as good as Qin and Chu, it is a country of thousands of miles after all. It is not enough for a few people to be alone in this vast land. This requires the joint efforts of all Aiqing! In the Spring Festival ceremony every year in the future, the widow will wait for the public Aiqing to sit in front of the seat to express the gratitude of the widow. ”

Speaking of this, Han Wangran looked in the direction of Old Master Kong on the left-hand side and said, "If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you believe partially, you will be dark." All of you are talented. Coming to South Korea from thousands of miles away, I must have the same goal. The widow is not the kind of king who can't listen to the people, you gentlemen have the mission of educating the people and cultivating talents in Yingchuan College, and you have more opportunities to contact the people of Li! The widow wants to say here that if you have heard of the people's suffering, you must tell the widow. In this way, the widow can hear the voice of the lower class of the common people and benefit the common people. ”

Everyone nodded yes. Many of the ladies saw Han Wangran for the first time, but when they heard Han Wangran's thoughtful and non-dignified words, they were convinced in their hearts, and their relationship with Han Wangran suddenly became much closer.

"In the past year, Zhong Aiqing helped the widow to recover Nanyang and Wuguan, and won 100,000 households, and our South Korean national strength has increased greatly. Mid-autumn even helped the widow to quell the rebellion of the nobles and maintain this hard-won peace. Thereafter. Promote new laws and reform the old system. The widow was very glad. There are such talents, why should the widow worry about the instability of the country, and why worry about the invasion of other countries! ”

"May I die for the king! Die for South Korea! The ministers below offered their words.

Han Wangran waved his hand, preventing the ministers from continuing to sing praises for themselves, and said with a smile: "Although my Korea is located in the land of four wars, it is peace-loving. (King Qin Zhao hears this.) After forming an alliance with Zhao, Wei, and Yan, his prestige was greatly enhanced. However, it is just unsustainable, and the water is full and overflowing, if any of you Aiqing thinks that there are no internal worries in South Korea at present, and there are no external troubles. The widow will exhort him to resign and go into hiding! ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd smiled kindly.

"The truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace, being born in adversity and dying in peace, the widow hopes that all Aiqing can keep it firmly in mind." Han Wangran's tone was no longer joking.

"The ministers take it to heart." The faces of the ministers also became solemn.

Han Wangran nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Prime Minister, you are the head of the hundred officials, and I will leave it to you to summarize last year's affairs." ”

Zhang Ping stood up, nodded calmly, and said: "The king is wise, and he personally led the army to recover the whole county of Nanyang, which is the first great luck of the country; Second, to eradicate rebellion and eliminate unstable elements, everyone applauds and applauds, and the people believe in it; Third, the new law was fully implemented, and now the two counties of Sanchuan and Nanyang have all operated in accordance with the new law, and everyone has passed on the benevolence of the king. In Yingchuan and Shangdang counties, the implementation of the new law was also extremely smooth. In order to promote the new law, 78 officials with less than 600 stone were investigated and punished, and 21 people were investigated and punished with more than 600 stone and less than 1,000 stone. Presumably, in a few days, all the money that should be recovered can be collected from the state treasury and used for the state's use. ”

Han Wangran knew that Prime Minister Zhang Ping couldn't help but praise himself, but fortunately, in this brief report, last year's major events were described clearly enough, and Han Wangran didn't bother to forcibly correct it. This guidance work is protracted! Waiting for the ministers to enter the table in person today startled the ministers, except for Zhang Ping, Fan Sui, and Storm Kite, who had been prepared for a long time, no one else expected that they would win this award!

"Regarding this year's mission, the widow wants to set it here!" Han Wangran said slowly.

After hearing this, the ministers were in a daze, summing up that last year's plan for this year was Han Wangran's new style, and even the county guards below had to go back to Xinzheng to report on their work, which shows that Han Wangran really wants to blow this wind up.

"The top priority of this year is the thorough implementation of the new law in Yingchuan and Shangdang, without affecting the spring ploughing!"

Everyone nodded, this was not completed last year, and it should be supported.

"The second thing is to train the new army! Increase combat effectiveness! Han Wangran had a face that could not be objected to.

The ministers were taken aback, why did they suddenly want to train a new army! You must know that South Korea now has two new armies, and the first one is the second of the Tigers. Although the total number of people is small, it is 16,000 people. Moreover, in this era, the emphasis is on semi-farming, how can there be money to feed so many people.

"How does the king plan to train the new army?" The captain asked cooperatively.

"The new army is naturally new equipment and new tactics!" Han Wangran's answer was concise and clear.

"What about the conscripted soldiers, do they need to be retrained?" Shaofu Chen Sui is concerned about how to train the 'old army' who occupies the main position. After all, the prevalent in countries today is half-peasant and half-soldier.

"The widow knows that farming is not wrong, so in this way, the standing army will begin to change its clothing and armament in three days, and it will be fully cooperated under the notice of the Shaofu! As for the conscripted soldiers, after waiting for the farm to be busy, they must also change their clothes and tactics! The times are advancing, and many people will be killed if they follow the old methods of warfare. ”

Liu Guang, the historian of Zhisu Nei, quickly summed up in his heart, and now South Korea's professional soldiers, that is, the standing army, are only 50,000 people, and this includes the two new armies of Yulin and Huben. There will be 30,000 sets of spare Hu clothes in Shaofu, and Yulin and Huben have already changed their clothes, so there is a gap of several thousand, and it should be in time.

"I think it's possible!" Liu Guang was the first to agree.

"Dare to ask the king, the new military uniform is the kind of Hu suit of Zhao State?" A voice suddenly rang out.

Han Wangran smiled brightly and replied, "That's true! (To be continued......)

PS: I'm going back to the company next week for a week's mid-term meeting, and the update will be unstable, but I will grit my teeth and insist! Still a more 5,000 words!
