Huang Liji came again, which Zhu Youjian did not expect, after all, he had just arranged a lot of things for Huang Liji not long ago.

It stands to reason that this is now the secretary of the Ministry of Education of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter what, he didn't have the time to come to Dongnuan Pavilion again, but Zhu Youzhen didn't think much about it when he saw Huang Liji's embarrassed face, so he said: "I have some doubts, Huang Aiqing's face is so ugly... Didn't you get a good night's rest last night? Don't be too tired... Aiqing should also pay attention to take care of her body! ”

Huang Li glanced at Zhu Youzhen with some gratitude, and then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care!" But today's audience is not because the minister is tired, but because the minister has encountered a difficult thing.

"Oh? What is it that stumped my Huang Aiqing again? Why don't you talk to me? ”

From the cuff, I pulled out the fold that I had received only yesterday.

Huang Liji presented it with both hands. Zhu Youzhen took it with a puzzled face.

I saw that in the middle of the recital it was clearly written.

: I am Mr. Luo Bingchen, a teacher of one of the public schools in Qingdao, Shandong..

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he saw this content, where is this twist and turn.. No matter how you look at the beginning, it was written by an ordinary person, after all, this is not only a format without folds, but more importantly, where there is an identity that is explained at the beginning.

Then Zhu Youzhen continued to watch.

"Nowadays... The Ming Dynasty is implementing new education up and down, setting up new schools everywhere, and these government-run schools do not charge the people a single silver tael. On the contrary, subsidies are given, which is the great act of His Majesty's imperial grace. ”

"As a declining child, I am honestly afraid to be able to be a teacher in this place just by virtue of my knowledge of new learning..."

"However, I have a question... Want to ask.. Should the new education continue under the bad habits of the old dynasty? Nowadays, the life of the common people is getting better day by day. But the bad habit of binding feet has begun to poison these young girls, and the court has not banned it, so can it really only be allowed to do so? Is this.. Is it a new education? ”

I have written a lot of such doubts, and I have carried them out throughout the whole article.

Zhu Youzhen looked at it, but his expression became more and more solemn, and Huang Liji on the side was also sweating on his forehead, and he kept wiping it with the handkerchief in his hand to relieve his tension.

"Whew..."

It's been a long time.

Zhu Youzhen sighed, then looked at Huang Liji and said: "The first thing I didn't expect was that such a recital would be written by a teacher with sharp words... I felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. ”

"But the second thing I didn't expect was that such a twist and turn could be handed all the way from Shandong to me, and I was very pleased!"

After all, Zhu Youzhen knows well that under the background of feudal rule.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty can be described as perfect for whitewashing the peace.

Since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he has vigorously reformed the rule of officials, and has given a variety of assessments to officials, wanting to be promoted. Then you have to abandon the old thinking of the past!

If you want to sit firmly in your current position and not be replaced by others, you must be conscientious and conscientious, and there must be no mistakes.

Now it seems that Zhu Youzhen thinks. The rule of the Ming Dynasty.

It already has a clean and upright appearance, otherwise if there is a problem in any link, it is impossible for a little teacher to hand over the fold in front of him.

What's more, in the content of this excerpt, there are many doubts about the imperial court and even about him as an emperor.

"Your Majesty . . . After receiving this fold yesterday, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. Hurry up.." Huang Liji explained on the side.

And Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "I didn't say anything wrong with Aiqing, but I want to praise you and the officials in charge of education in Shandong!" They are all my good courtiers, and I want to reward them! ”

Foot binding..

Undoubtedly, bad habits!

It is absolutely impossible for such an atmosphere to grow again, let alone spread in the academy.

It is not easy for girls to be able to go to school.

Zhu Youzhen knew that these children could come to the school to learn new learning, which was enough to call it a big event that changed the world for the future of Daming.

It looks small.. But the impact behind it will continue to be profound!

"Huang Aiqing.. In your opinion, is it right or wrong for the people to abolish foot binding? ”

Move to the council chamber in the East Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Youzhen said slowly.

Huang Liji, who was on the side, just took a sip of the tea that was sent, and then hurriedly put it down again.

Hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty.. According to Lao Chen's view, this matter of folk foot binding was still influenced by the scholars and squires and landlords in the old system, and the people would use it as vassals... Follow suit! ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, but Huang Liji didn't get to the point.

So I continued to wait for him to speak.

"Your Majesty . . . The minister thought that this matter was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the people, and the women were almost unable to work after binding their feet, and even could not go out to walk. Even in his later years, he couldn't stand because of his little feet! This is a major event that no one can continue to emulate! ”

Zhu Youzhen's expression changed, and he said slowly while smiling: "Aiqing's words coincide with what I think in my heart, but what I want to say is..."

"Bound feet and feet, since it comes from a scholar, it will end up with a reader. As the saying goes, if there is good at the top, it must be attached to the bottom! ”

"Intended! All Daming, abolish foot binding and foot binding, if you find it! All local officials are held accountable and punished for the crime of mutilation. Leave it to the Criminal Department! ”

Zhu Youzhen's words made Huang Li extremely surprised, and said with some doubts: "Your Majesty.. This may be a bit rushed."

"I think it's a little late! One day later, the girl of Daming will be mutilated for a day, and I will never allow this scene to happen again, and from now on... The Ming Dynasty amended the imperial law, and women with bound feet were not allowed to enter the palace! I started to change it myself, and I don't believe they dare! ”

"Old minister, obey the order!"

After the next day.

The streets of Jingshi were once again lively because of Zhu Youzhen's latest decree published in the "Jingshi Daily".

A large number of yamen officials walked through the streets and alleys with nervous faces.

"Hey.. Auntie, open the door! Is the girl in your family bound her feet, but don't dare! Your Majesty has a will, Daming abolished foot binding, and now it is a violation of Daming Law! ”

An officer knocked on the door with sweat.

After a while, a woman opened the courtyard door and walked out.

"What? My daughter's foot binding, someone has to take care of this? ”
