Chapter 22: Keeping Him Safe
Even if there is only one daughter in the family, Lu Dazhuang can't afford to raise it. After all, girls have little strength and are much worse than boys in work, and when they grow their bodies, they don't eat less than boys.
"Okay, Abba won't hide it anymore, so I'll tell you directly." Seeing his daughter's hesitation, Lu Dazhuang continued, "If you have been following Mr. Qin for a long time and have a love affair over time, you will have the opportunity to be his concubine in the future." As a scholar's concubine, even if she can't wear silk and satin in the future, she can at least eat enough, which is much better than staying by Abba's side. ”
"If one day he is admitted to the imperial examination, you will be able to soar and become a phoenix."
"Abba, you're thinking so far." Lu Qingqian said leisurely.
"Girl, Abba is doing this completely for the sake of your future future, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to seize it." In his heart, he only fantasized that Lu Qingqian would change from a maid to a concubine, and as for his wife, he couldn't even think of it.
"But, Abba, Mr. Qin meant to teach me to read and write, and he regarded me as a student." Lu Qing said.
"Nonsense, what kind of books does a girl read?" Lu Dazhuang said, "A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and there is no precedent for women to study since ancient times!" As a girl, you must have the consciousness of a girl, and don't be whimsical. ”
"And how can the family have the money to buy you the Four Books and the Five Classics? Everyone will help boys study, but girls can only pay out of their own pockets if they want to study, and they will be poked and scolded by the villagers. ”
Lu Qingqian listened, and his eyes that were originally full of hope dimmed.
……
Ying Tianfu, the imperial study.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished approving the ministers' recitals, he stayed in the imperial study and did not go to bed immediately. Holding a copy of "Historical Records" in his hand, he was in a daze, thinking carefully about what Qin Yu said to him during the day.
The theory of climate change that Qin Yu told him the day before yesterday greatly broadened his horizons, making him jump out of the deep well and be able to stand on a high place and overlook history. And today's words have changed some of his thinking. He no longer believes in some records of gods and ghosts in history, but instead believes in the development of history, which is more done by man.
Because Qin Yu said that the reason why people in ancient times survived was because of the formation of the unity and cooperation of the ethnic group, that is, the prototype of the clan, which had little to do with the three emperors and five emperors.
All this can't help but make him doubt the authenticity of "Historical Records: Three Emperors and Five Emperors": "The merits of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors must be there, but they are definitely not as big as the history books say, and they cannot play a decisive role." ”
"Mr. Qin not only broadened our horizons, but also changed our thinking, and it can be said that he is already our teacher. And it's a famous teacher! Vision and thought are too important to the emperor, the emperor is the ruler of the dynasty, if the vision and thought are too inferior, it is easy to lead the country to the quagmire, if the emperor's vision and thinking are high, the country will prosper. ”
"Qin Yu, a great talent, although he has not yet walked out of Lujia Village, has invisibly changed the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty."
"His knowledge is worthy of serious study by all emperors for a lifetime, Biao'er is our prince, so in the future, we must let Biao'er study those heavenly questions that are enough to stabilize the country under him."
"It's a pity that he didn't explain to us in detail how to use the clan family today, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. One of his thoughts is on how to get Lujiacun out of poverty, and it seems that he doesn't have the slightest idea of becoming an official. Although it is a bit of a waste of his talents, it will not pose a threat to the imperial court. ”
During the day, he analyzed the reasons for the formation and development trajectory of the Huaxia clan extremely profoundly. He said that the clan idea has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Chinese people, and it is also accurate and terrifying. For example, at the beginning of our own incident, we kept accepting our sons and nephews and letting them all follow our surname Zhu, and if there is no clan, we must establish a clan. and Lan Yu also received thousands of righteous sons, all of whom had the same surname as Lan. ”
"To let someone else follow your surname is to pull him into your clan, and with clan thinking, others are willing to work hard for you. We can succeed because of those righteous sons and nephews, Lan Yu is invincible on the battlefield, and it is also because of those righteous sons who dare to work hard. Although we didn't know about using people's clan ideas before, we have already used them. ”
"Clan is the reason for the rise of the dynasty, and it is also the biggest hidden danger of the dynasty."
"Mr. Qin's words have never been spoken by any sage or celebrity in history. The unprecedented point goes straight to the essence, which makes us suddenly realize. It's as if he was born out of nowhere. ”
……
"Juhachi, you're going to see that person again today?" At this time, Queen Ma walked into the door and interrupted his train of thought.
"See." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"What did you talk about today?" Queen Ma asked.
"Talking about the reasons for the formation of the clan family and the trajectory of development, his knowledge has never been seen for eternity." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Through today's conversation, let's confirm that he is a genius of the past and the present." ”
"What about Lujia Village?" Queen Ma asked, "Is that our test for him?" ”
"Mr. Qin told us that he wants to make it easy for the people of Lujia Village to eat enough." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It's just that what makes him feel embarrassed is how to get Lujia Village out of poverty and become rich." ”
"His goal is to get Lujia Village out of poverty and become rich?" Queen Ma was dumbfounded when she heard this, "In our opinion, it is already difficult to make the villagers of Lujia Village have enough to eat, but he is thinking about how to make Lujia Village rich!?" Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been hundreds of county orders, many of which are things that capable officials can't do, but they are regarded by him as grass mustard, and it's terrible to think about! ”
"yes, I couldn't believe it at the time." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"It seems that this person's knowledge is several levels higher than everyone else, and there is a gap between heaven and earth." Queen Ma said, "If one day he really manages to make Lujia Village rich, then hundreds of county orders will probably crawl out of the coffin in shame." ”
"How else can it be called a great talent from the past and the present?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Uh-huh." Queen Ma nodded, "This person's talent has gradually been revealed, and we should pay more attention to him." Didn't you say that you have always been a corporal of Lixian, isn't it time to show some sincerity? ”
"What sincerity?"
"For example, how to protect his personal safety, reward him with some gold and silver treasures, and so on." Queen Ma said, "Although Lujia Village is not a problem in terms of public security in Yingtianfu and Gyeonggi, I am afraid of anything. The mountains of Lujiacun are high and deep, and fierce beasts and poisonous snakes are infested, and at the same time, they may also encounter scoundrels...... If you are bitten by a poisonous snake and stabbed by a scoundrel one day, you will not be wronged, and it will be too late to regret it at that time. ”
