In June in Kyoto, there are two things that are hotly discussed in the government hall.

And both of these are related to Li Yuzhen.

Because both bills were submitted by her to the government hall.

If it is just a Shangshu right servant shooting the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Shi - the upper chapter of a deputy prime minister, it will not let the three Dazai of the political affairs hall pay attention to it at the same time, hold a court meeting, and discuss it intensively, and there is no "procrastination" This symptom that even the political affairs hall cannot completely avoid appear--Of course, this delay is often because of the entanglement of various interests, and there is no result of the game in private, and it is rarely caused by personal work procrastination, and the ministers who can enter the cabinet will not commit this kind of easy to make political enemies and imperial history attack and say" physical energy is limited, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the burden of governing" - because this deputy minister still has the title of future prince, and at most two years later, this future prince will be "the crown prince in charge of state affairs", as long as he thinks that he can continue to do in the political affairs hall, he will not neglect the big proposals submitted by him, and after the future prince once clearly expressed his disgust with "procrastination", it is not surprising that the political affairs hall has been discussing for days.

The first bill is the proposal for housing loans for the common people.

After this proposal arrived in the capital on the first day of June, the government hall completed the discussion of this important proposal that was wisely raised to the status of "related to the national economy and people's livelihood" by the prime ministers in four days with extremely efficient efficiency, and initially agreed to try it out in Guangzhou. Those who are in charge of housing construction should give the construction price budget will be supervised, and the military department with experience in bidding will draw up bidding regulations, etc.

A few days later, the second bill was discussed in the government hall.

This second bill was sent to the capital on the third day of the sixth month, and because of Li Yuzhen's seal, Du Jinju Division did not open the seal as usual, and directly submitted it to the Shangshu Ling Wei Chongrun Public Housing. However, after reading it, the prime minister did not immediately submit it to the court, but pressed it for a few days, during which he ordered the servants to enter the Taiyi Department and ordered the emperor to be stored in the public house twice, and met with the officials of the household department and the Taifu Temple respectively, and only submitted it to the government hall on the sixth day and asked the prime minister to discuss it in the court.

Cui Xizhen, Pei Chang, the two Dazai and Zhang Yizhi and other young rulers all showed meaningful eyes and tacit expressions.

At this time, the prime ministers of these families had already learned about what happened in Guangzhou through their respective news channels - the princess of Qin went to Baiyun Mountain in the rain. What is it that needs this person to brave the rain? In addition, the thundershowers in the summer obviously do not last long, and they can't wait for even half an hour. If it is a really humble and virtuous corporal like the crown prince, I don't think it is strange, or if he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, he can also do this kind of thing, but this highness is humble? Hehe; Corporal Lixian? Hehehe; Fish for fame and reputation? What's more, I don't even bother to pretend. Moreover, I didn't go to Sanyuan Palace for more than ten days in Guangzhou, so I suddenly remembered that I should brave the rain to visit Dao Xiaozi to show my sincerity? Hehehe, the heads of the family said that the weather was really good.

The spies of the family are still dedicated and capable, and soon found out that the princess of Qin State went to Sanyuan Palace to see the Yuan Taoist, and it was a "visit to ask for advice", although it is impossible to find out what the two talked about, but it can be deduced that Her Royal Highness the princess traveled in the rain after meeting the imperial physician Cheng Hu Rulin, and this imperial physician Cheng is making a said "big plan" with the Guangzhou Medical Bureau...... As a result, the whole thing was quickly found out by the spies, and Shen Qingyi's copy of the note soon appeared on the desks of the prime ministers of various families.

The only exception may be Shao Chonglian, the deputy minister from a poor family and a subordinate Zuoqing - although the Shao family is also a three-generation official family, but the background cannot be compared with these five or six hundred years of families, and Shao Chonglian is a native of Hongzhou, Jiangnan West Province, far away from Lingnan, even if he is a deputy minister for four years, his hand cannot be stretched out to Lingnan, and of course there is no convenient channel for what happened in Guangzhou. However, there was no surprise on his face, because Wei Chongrun had already communicated with him before, and compared to other prime ministers, he also had an additional copy of the submission of the princess of Qin State's comment recommending this sparseness.

Wei Chongrun pressed this bill for a few days, first, although this bill is important, it is not urgent, and second, it is to give himself time to understand and think, and of course, to give other prime ministers time to think. The bills that can really be put forward to the court are actually in the hearts of the prime ministers, and submitting them to the court is just a game of interests for all parties - whether it is beneficial to themselves and their families; Benefit big, or small; How much of a share can be taken from it, and so on. There are very few people who really consider the interests of the country and the people, and even fewer of the prime ministers of the family.

Of course, the prime ministers have this vision, but "beneficial to the people of the country" has never been the primary consideration of these prime ministers' decision-making, but the interests of each family, and the civilian housing loan bill happens to have this value - tens of millions of construction bids are a pie of interests, which prime minister does not want to take a bite? Even if these family-run businesses did not involve masonry carpenters in the past, it is not easy to set up a temporary house-building firm with huge financial resources and talents. Perhaps before the introduction of the decree on the naturalization of house builders and the decree on the examination of qualifications for house builders drafted by Taifu Temple, the builders of these families had already helped build them, and they were only waiting for the government to review and register.

This is also good for Wei Chongrun, although the family is out of interests, but under their interests, the small craftsmen in the city will get the opportunity to work and make money, and the landless farmers in the countryside will also have an additional way to work as small construction workers to support their families, and the newly built civilian low-cost houses will also be guaranteed in efficiency and quality because of the strength of the family contractors. Therefore, what he paid attention to at the beginning was not whether the bill could pass guò - because the Maison would definitely let it pass - but to extract meat from the mouth of the Maison and strive for measures to benefit the small people, such as forcing contractors to establish construction site safeguards, and compulsory measures to ensure the personal safety of craftsmen, which only the big builders formed by the Maison could afford to do, and for example, limiting the minimum wage of craftsmen and reducing the exploitation of contractors...... The four days of the quarrel in the hall were actually the dispute between the prime minister of the family and the dispute between Wei Chongrun's "picking meat" from the family's mouth.

And this second bill is not as easy to get through as the first one.

Because unlike the first bill, there is enough interest for the Maison.

To be precise, this bill is in favor of the common people, not in favor of the family, or rather, it is not of much interest.

Wei Chongrun had to think about how to convince the government. And Li Yuzhen didn't think about this, she handed over the proposal to Wei Chongrun, that is, he was responsible. As the future monarch of the empire, if she needs to consider the promotion of bills, what else does the prime minister do? Among the ministers in the political hall, the only one who can really promote the proposal out of the interests of the people is Wei Chongrun; Shao Chonglian is also counted, but his public heart is mostly in the interests of the imperial court, and he does not have the same personal experience of the suffering of the small people as Wei Chongrun and takes improving the people's livelihood as his own responsibility, and he does not have the prestige of Wei Chongrun's rule for more than ten years, as well as the ability to compete with the prime ministers of various families, and his role can only be auxiliary.

The timing of Wei Chongrun's submission of this bill was also very good, just two days ago, the government hall had just discussed a decree of conferral and the last edict of merit - for those who had made meritorious contributions to quelling the cholera epidemic. There was only one person's name on the edict, and because her merits needed time to be verified, the edict was intended to be awarded three months later, after the doctors and other pharmacists of the Daomen who had come to the aid of the Imperial Medical Department.

She is Shen Zhiyuan.

The sage used a red pen to cross out the prefix identity of "Mrs. Prince of Liang Guogong" and the name "Shen Qingyi" on the report of the political affairs hall, leaving only the identity of "Zhiyuan Taoist Master", and added "Dharma disciple of Mr. Xuansun of Daci Puji Miaoying Dao".

——"Daci Puji Miaoying" is Dao Xuanzi, which is the honorific title issued by the emperors of Gaozong, Muzong and Zhangzong, in recognition of Dao Xuanzi's compassion and rejuvenation, and the people's urgency, Puji is the act of the living, and this honor is well deserved, only Dao Xuanzi was the first to advocate the establishment of gynecology and pediatrics, and compiled two monographs on gynecological midwifery, infant care and emergency preparation, which saved the lives of countless women and infants in the Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that the population of the Tang Empire is full of the merits of Dao Xuanzi. Because there are fewer children who have had difficult births and died young. The "Dharma disciples" approved by the sages in both the Tao and Mo schools refer to the disciples who inherit the Dharma decree, that is, the disciples of the mantle of Buddhism, which is very different from the meaning of other disciples.

Of course, the prime ministers all noticed the sage's Zhu Pi, and realized the different meanings in it.

Wei Chongrun, of course, is among them.

Although the prime minister of the poor family did not know the game of chess played by the sage, and with his identity, he had not yet reached the level of touching this secret, but it did not hinder his keen observation and sense of smell - in the previous court discussion, Cui Shizhong and Pei Zhongshu sang and harmonized, and the original "Zhong Dafu" was mentioned to "Taizhong Dafu" and promoted by half a level, and although Zhang Yizhi and Zheng Zhizhong, the two deputy ministers of the family, did not agree, they did not explicitly oppose it, and it seemed that there was a vague unusual meaning for the disciple of this medicine king Mr. Sun.

Wei Chongrun hasn't figured out the joints yet, but this attitude is beneficial for the later discussion of Shen Zhiyuan's sparseness. After the edict was issued, Wei Chongrun went to Pei Chang's public house, and the next day he went to Cui Xizhen's public house, of course, to try and mediate...... These two had a vague attitude, but they did not explicitly oppose it, only saying that it should be properly considered - being able to say "consideration" means that there is no resolute refusal, and Wei Chongrun has two more points in his heart.

The beginning of the church meeting was tepid.

As a rule, the hall officials read the bill first, and then retreated, and Wei Chongrun, as the submitter of the bill, needed to make a statement first.

He said: "What is the public health system? ”

This is the core of Shen Qingyi's upward sparseness, and it is also the name of the new system.

The system, not just one system and one decree, but a collection of several institutional decrees and the specialized agencies that implement these institutional decrees, will constitute a new system of government offices, just like the previous bills on housing loans for the common people. Therefore, Shen Qingyi's appointment is not just to build a system, but to build a system, and it is a system that has not existed before, which must involve huge investment in people, finance, and materials, as well as the establishment of new official offices and new official positions...... And the latter, Shen Qingyi also clearly mentioned it in the notebook.

Whether the ministers in the hall are waiting and watching or not supporting, but in terms of the content of the sparse above, they all have to praise the great talent - worthy of being from the family! Of course, the latter sentence is the idea of the prime minister of the family. But even if Wei and Shao learned of this idea, they had to admit that unless there was no shortage of resources in the family surnamed Jia, the ordinary official eunuch family and the scholarly family were of course close to the resources to cultivate the boys in the family, even if they attached importance to the education of girls, they could not compare to the family's resource investment, and there was also that kind of learning atmosphere.

"The public also ......" Wei Chongrun talked eloquently, his voice was calm, rich, pleasant, and there was a unique power in the calm, which was infectious, and it was easy to bring people into his atmosphere.

But the prime ministers of the family are all shrewd and sophisticated, and no matter how moving Wei Chongrun's voice is, it can't move them.

The only thing that can make them interested is profit.

……

At this time, in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, which is very far away from the capital, two young ladies are also talking about "public benefit" and "people's benefit", which is one of the summer homework left by the academy. Of course, they didn't know that the lesson they were discussing was the topic that the Imperial Prime Minister was discussing in the political hall.

"I think that we must first explain the concepts and scope objects of these two, and know their commonalities and differences, so that we can write a propositional strategy with a clear point of view around this." Round-eyed, slightly younger girl said.

"Of course." Another girl, who was a little older but only thirteen or fourteen, said, "Then what do you say first?" ”

"I know!" The eleven-year-old girl shook her head, as if she was memorizing a textbook, "In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Sejong established the first public benefit library in Chang'an, and the posted edict said: public interest, public benefit, public interest, public use, regardless of Shinong industry and commerce, all the people of the Tang Dynasty, have the right to use it." She grinned and added, "It's like a road, a street tree, a well, a public light pole, a public carriage, a platform, ha...... There is also a public ...... They are all public welfare facilities, and everyone has the right to use them. Of course, there is also a fine to pay for vandalism, because it damages the interests of the public domain. In fact, I think it's the same as Minli, it's all convenient for people's livelihood. - Eh, in fact, I think our four-horse carriages are still slow, sister, you see that when we pass through the port of Jinzhou, the cars unloaded at those ports are all running on wheels on two rails, how fast the horses are pulled! Also, when I went to the mine on the fourth uncle's side last summer, the mine truck also slid down the two railroad tracks, whoosh-" The girl's mind obviously flew away.

"Stop, stop, let's talk about public interest. - Do you know why Emperor Sejong built the Gongli Library? ”

…… This is a bit difficult, it is not written in the textbooks of the academy, and it is not mentioned in the master's class, saying that everyone should think.

The girl blinked, remembering that when she was at home, her brothers used to get together to discuss the pros and cons of the imperial examination, and to discuss whether it was necessary for the current imperial examination to still separate the poor family from the family, and whether it was time to join the list...... She listened to a few mouthfuls of homework on the side, and interjected two sentences, the second brother is the worst, pull her face, and don't help him ask the Yuan family sister to the villa to enjoy the flowers in the future...... Uh, thinking far away, the girl quickly pulled back her divergent thinking and replied seriously:

"I know that Emperor Sejong established the Gongli Library so that everyone could enter and read books for free, in order to tell the people, whether they were scholars or farmers, that they had the right to read and learn knowledge. …… Well, my second brother said that this is the third step of Emperor Sejong's attack on our family's monopoly of knowledge after reforming the imperial examination and Guangxing School. ”

Of course, she understands the word "monopoly", and her brothers said that it is the same as the ridges in the field, which are opened by monopoly, and the ridges are owned and privately owned. But she felt that there was something wrong with this truth, well, if the "Analects" was handed down by the ancestors of the Confucian clan in Lujun, then "Laozi", "Mozi", "The Book of Law" and "Ji Ran Ce" ...... Aren't these exclusive to any family?

The girl felt that she should defend the family from a standpoint, but she also felt that Emperor Sejong was right to do so...... Alas, is this what my brother said, "Knowledge has no position, and only those who learn knowledge have it"? A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she felt that she had touched the thread, "The public interest and the people's benefit, the key is this 'people'." The public interest is the elimination of the position, and it is the common interest of everyone, but the interests of the people are there, and different people have different interests. ”

"Stupid, I just thought of it now." The young man next to him, who had been lowering his head and brushing his homework, raised his head and sneered.

"Hmph, Brother Bo, when I go back, I will sue Aunt Sù, saying that you scolded me for being stupid and didn't teach me homework." Wei Yingxiu raised small thin eyebrows.

Her cousin Wei Yinghan, who was two years older than her, also raised her eyebrows, "My aunt said, in this summer study tour, you are older than us and your school level is higher than ours, so you must be a good senior and teach your sister and school...... Hum! ”

The boy was in a cold sweat.

The "eldest aunt" is the mother of the teenager, the head of the Jingzhao Wei family, and the head of the Wei clan to learn Yunshan Academy, and has always asked the brothers and sisters in the clan to help each other learn from each other and make progress together, the younger ones should be modest and studious, and the older ones should be patient to teach - if you let your mother know that he doesn't take his sister's homework, just wait to go back and copy the book...... "Wei's Children's Rules" ten times! It's 5,000 words at once!

Wei Yingbo's handsome face collapsed, and he couldn't make a move, "Good Ah Xiu, good Ah Han, my brother is wrong." - You say, if you don't understand, my brother will be careful and clear, and he will never be perfunctory. ”

"Well, that's good, Brother Bo, you say, what is Minli?"

"Well, you have to understand first, what is the people?"

……

At this time, in the forbidden palace north of the political affairs hall, on Penglai Mountain surrounded by Taiye Pond, a father and son were also talking about "public interests" and "people's interests".

“…… Regardless of the monarch, ministers, officials and people, all are covered by the public interest and are within the public interest. Those who benefit the public are the interests of all classes, from the royal family, the family, to the small people in cloth. ——Shen Zhiyuan is not known as the 'national disease prevention and health system', but as 'public benefit', and is a smart person. But ......"

The sage sat on the rocking chair in the Taiye Pavilion, squeaking and shaking vigorously, like an old naughty boy who had just gotten a new play, but the words in his mouth were quite serious, "Public interest, it is a universal policy implemented by the state with money from taxes, the common people gain more, the family gains less, the poor gain more, and the rich gain less...... Wei Jingshen wants to figure out this motion, hehe, it's not easy. Those old guys, one by one, don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle - they won't make a move if they don't see profit. ”

The prince's gaze was calm, as if this result was not unexpected.

He looked at the rippling blue waves of the Taiye Pool in the sun, felt that the white light was a little dazzling, turned his head, and saw that his father was playing happily with the rocking chair newly made by the eleventh sister, his eyes were a little helpless, but there was warmth, thinking that his father's time was running out, and his heart was a little sad, and his chest throbbed. He inhaled slightly, calming the fluctuations in his heart.

…… There can be no great joy or great sorrow.

The prince sighed lightly in his heart.

Compared to Pei Yi, he is already much better. At least, I can watch the child grow up, watch her, climb high step by step, and go far.

The sadness in the prince's heart was suppressed by relief again.

The saint shook his rocking chair, "This matter is not worth worrying about, let Wei Jingshen worry about it." The affairs of the court, one day is undecided, and another day is ...... Take it easy. ”

The prince smiled, didn't explain that he was sad because of his father just now, and said, "I heard that Pei Zhongshu is right...... It seems to be a little interesting - this sees a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle? ”

The prince's information is very sharp, this matter is just a private tacit understanding between Cui Xizhen and Pei Chang, Pei Chang has not made a big deal at home, but he has been more concerned about Pei Shizi's second son Pei Lizhi recently...... At the age of twenty-four, she is still stumbling, and Mrs. Shizi is very worried about her son's marriage, and has been looking for a suitable daughter-in-law, but recently, it seems to have stopped.

The sage smiled, "Pei Wen is cautious, he hasn't separated from him yet, he is too positive here, and he will really succeed in the future, but he will fall into the hands of others, and he will have a grudge against Xiao Jingxi." ”

Although there are many conflicts of interest between families, this kind of blatant pry of daughters-in-law is still rare, and it is also despised and disdained.

Even if Pei Chang had the intention to let the grandson of the grandson of the Yan branch marry Shen Qingyi, of course, it was a marriage contract - the sage would not allow Shen Qingyi to marry a certain family - in order to connect the interests of the Pei family, the Shen family, and the Daomen family, but after all, he would not act until Shen Qingyi and he left.

The prince thought about Zhongshuling's personality and nodded slightly, "That's what Father said." ”

……
