Chapter 306, Benefit

The intensity of this debate competition is no less than the scene where the emperor summons those ministers in the outer study, it may be that the crowd facing is different, or it may be that the scholar is not afraid of tigers, these people dare to speak one by one.

"No, the root cause of the demise of the two Song Dynasty is that they emphasize literature and light military force, this is the first, second, the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the loss of this natural barrier, the iron horse of the northern nomads into the Central Plains is like entering no man's land; Third, the tax of the two Song Dynasty was high, but all the silver taels were handed over to the household department, and the local government had no accumulation, so that when the foreign enemy invaded, the local government was powerless to defend itself, and could only wait for the imperial court to rescue, and it was easy to delay the warplane; Fourth, the lack of war horses, fighting in the north, mainly cavalry, but the northwest and Saibei that can produce good horses are not in the hands of the two Song Dynasty, and it is reasonable that the two Song Dynasty will lose, and they have little to do with their commercial development and indulgence in pleasure. ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, someone soon picked up, "I don't dare to agree with this brother's words, according to your words, whether it is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, whether it is all handed over in silver, or even the lack of war horses and the loss of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, these four points boil down to only one reason, I don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and the main culprit of this situation is that business is too prosperous, and it is precisely because of business prosperity that they are obsessed with enjoyment, only seeing the prosperity in front of them, and not seeing the potential risks, If they had used this abundant tax to buy war horses to nourish their army, would the two Song Dynasty have perished so quickly? ”

"This brother Tai said to the point, it is these words, be prepared for danger in times of peace, there are ready-made lessons here, we can develop business, but at the same time, we must also remember to be prepared for danger in times of peace, can we avoid the tragedy of the two songs?" Someone else stood up.

Next, the hot spot of the crowd turned to how to develop commerce, some people proposed to vigorously develop the handicraft industry, the handicraft industry can only bring the circulation of goods, without commodities, what to prosper commerce?

Some people also proposed to moderately open the sea ban, whether it is the goods that go out or the goods that come in, you can collect a tax, which is one of them, and the second is that the opening of the sea ban can also communicate with each other and promote the development of handicrafts; Third, the opening of the sea ban can bring in some high-yield crops from overseas.

However, there are not many students who are in favor of opening the sea ban, because the southeast coastal area has been harassed by Japanese pirates all year round, and they are afraid that once the sea ban is opened, more and more sea pirates will come ashore.

Some people are also worried that once the sea ban is opened, the advanced skills of the Great Zhou will be stolen by others, after all, the Chinese civilization has a long history, and those foreigners who have just come out of the Ru Mao blood drink have an unparalleled advantage.

And so on and so forth.

This debate went on for more than an hour, and not only Zeng Rong, but even Zhu Xu, Zhu Heng and others also felt benefited, but the depth was different.

After the debate match, Zhu Xu did not rush to take Zhu Heng away, but took a turn under the guidance of Guozi's sacrificial wine, and met several students of the family on the way, Zhu Xu and Zhu Heng were recognized, but fortunately they did not cause a sensation.

Zeng Rong pushed Zhu Heng to visit the statue of Confucius, and also visited the classrooms and residences of the students of Xia Guozijian, all of which were strange and new to him.

"I like the atmosphere here, quiet, simple, and far-reaching, being in it, can cleanse people's souls, and can also wash away the lead on the body, which is really desirable." Looking at the green vines crawling on the outer wall of the classroom and the tall ginkgo tree in the middle of the courtyard, Zhu Heng said abruptly.

"No, how many people here are dedicated to learning and can truly be desireless? Who is not looking at ten years of hard study, once famous in the world, otherwise there would not be that poem, 'The spring breeze is proud, once see all the Chang'an flowers', so ah, the one who can really cleanse the soul and wash away the lead has to be said to be the outsider of the temple, and it is difficult for us and other worldly people. Zeng Rong replied.

"Scholars should take the world as their own responsibility, and it is their duty to save the world, which is not related to the escapism of the temple monks, why should it be compared?" A voice came from behind.

Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng looked back, and it turned out to be Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu also heard that his father was coming, so he hurried to meet him, and happened to meet Zhu Heng first, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Is that you? Are you, are you the palace maid? Zhu Wu recognized Zeng Rong.

To be honest, looking at this little figure from behind, he really thought it was a certain eunuch beside Zhu Heng, although he didn't agree with the little eunuch's words, but this little eunuch should have read a lot of books if he could say this, at least there was no such person around him.

"The lower official greets the Third Highness." Zeng Rong let go of the wheelchair and curtsy to Zhu Wu.

Habitually, she forgot that she was wearing a eunuch suit, so Zhu Wu couldn't help laughing when she saw that she was wearing a eunuch suit but did a nondescript curtsy.

Zhu Heng was unhappy now, he already thought that Zhu Wu had disturbed their relationship, and when he saw Zhu Wu laughing at Zeng Rong, he didn't like it even more, so he lost a cold look.

Zhu Wu received his brother's signal, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Second brother, third brother is not rushing at you, it's this little eunuch." By the way, little eunuch, aren't you the female historian next to your father, why did you come to the second brother's side again? ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Wu suddenly put Zeng Rong on the number, it turned out that Zeng Rong was the little palace maid who accompanied Zhu Heng on the Queen Mother's birthday, and she was also the little palace maid that his mother asked him to pay attention to.

Unfortunately, she escaped that day.

Later, when we met, it was this little girl who caught the fish bones for her father, and originally thought that her father would reward her, but she was punished for kneeling for two hours, and he thought that his mother was too loud, a little palace maid, and it was worth her attention?

Now it seems that he underestimated this palace maid.

In just a few months, she became a female historian next to her father, not to mention, she actually became the second brother's new favorite, and in order to take her with her, she actually changed into a eunuch uniform, fortunately he ran into it, otherwise, he was almost hidden from them.

Zeng Rong saw that Zhu Wu's eyes were a little inquiring, and he hurriedly bowed and replied: "Back to the Third Highness, the lower officials are ordered by the emperor to take care of the Second Highness. ”

"The third brother is here to see his father, right? Father is over there. Zhu Heng pointed to the left front.

Zhu Wu glanced in that direction and shook his head, "Father can go back to see him, the second brother rarely comes to the Guozijian once, and the third brother accompanies the second brother around." ”

Zeng Rong heard what the other party said, so he had to take a few steps back and give up the wheelchair to Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair, leaned forward while walking forward, and introduced to Zhu Heng one by one the architectural style and layout of Guozijian and its historical origins.
