……

"Your Majesty, the royal family and scholars ruling the world together is the foundation of the previous dynasty, do you really want to put an end to all the scholars in the world before you are satisfied?"

"You're too worried, I didn't say that you don't need to read people, not only to use it, but also to use it greatly, it's just that you don't need to talk about misleading the country and groveling sour Confucian."

"The old man has learned the way of sages, why does Your Majesty insult my sage students!"

"The way of the sages? The way of the sages teaches you to seek peace with the enemy, and the way of the sages teaches you to regard the soldiers on the battlefield as if they were horses? Did the way of the sages teach you to bewitch me and punish those who have merit? Does the way of the sages make you watch the children of the Han family suffer barbarian humiliation!

Wang Daofu, I really regret that I am with you today, knowing how much time you have wasted in this great hall?

I advise you to go back and reflect on yourself, you are not as old as the civilians on the street who understand the overall situation, at least they know that our Han soldiers are fighting bloodily to protect their homeland.

It won't be as indiscriminate as you, putting the cart before the horse to boost the enemy's morale, and now leave me immediately, I don't want to see you again. ”

Liu Ce scolded him all the time, and Wang Daofu was scolded no longer with the arrogant appearance he had when he came, and finally under the leadership of Wang Xiaoyu, he went out of the palace with a decadent face.

When he got out of the palace gate and saw the students with anticipation on his face, Wang Daofu was ashamed and angry in his heart, he wanted to crash and die on the stone lion at the palace gate, but at this time he didn't have that courage.

I failed, I was embarrassed by my defeat, and even the careers of these students were completely ruined because of their recklessness.

Thinking of the painful place, Wang Daofu knelt down in front of the students on the street, and the old man burst into tears: "The old man is sorry for you, I'm sorry for you~"

The students were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support and persuade: "Teacher, what are you doing, hurry up!" ”

Wang Daofu said that he didn't want to get up because of anything: "It's the old man's mistake that hurt you, students, the old man is confused and made a big mistake......

The tearful crying made the students at a loss, and they just persuaded Wang Daofu to get up and speak quickly.

Wang Xiaoyu looked at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said in his heart: "This kind of rotten Confucianism really doesn't know what to do, Your Majesty's trick is enough, instead of severely punishing this Wang Daofu, it is better to let his students' careers be blocked, and kill people and punish their hearts, which is really worse than killing him." ”

"Grandpa~ What's wrong with you?"

At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing a Suzhou embroidered silk green shirt ran to Wang Daofu's side and exclaimed

This girl is very delicate and refined, her skin is like clotted fat, her hands are like soft wattles, her face is full of peach blossoms, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, and her long black hair goes straight to the delicate and delicate waist muscles.

As soon as Wang Daofu saw the girl, he immediately grabbed her with his hand and cried: "Su'er, grandpa is wrong, grandpa shouldn't have come to the capital to see Your Majesty, what should I do now." ”

This girl is Wang Daofu's most beloved granddaughter, Wang Zhaoxu.

Wang Zhaoxu also followed Wang Daofu and his party to Chang'an a few days ago, different from Wang Daofu with a purpose, as soon as she arrived in Chang'an City, she was immediately deeply attracted by this prosperous and quaint city.

Everything in Chang'an City was something she had never seen in her life, the hard and smooth concrete streets, the bright glass, the smooth and bumpy four-wheeled carriages, the various industrial supplies sold in the east and west markets, and the perfume and cool ice cream that women flocked to, all made him feel fresh.

Of course, what interests Wang Zhaoxu more than these physical visual impacts is the new schools in the city, where the teachers teach not the Four Books and the Five Classics, but mathematics, Chinese, history, nature, physical arts, and elective art subjects, which are eye-opening for her.

For the first time in school, she saw a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, a map carefully drawn by professionals, marked with the names of places, from states, counties, counties and even villages to the map.

Wang Zhaoxu never thought that the Han land he lived in was so vast, until he reached the end of the Western Regions, and for the first time he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he was extremely excited.

This sentiment was called glory or pride, but she didn't know it yet.

It was also the first time in school that Wang Zhaoxu heard the theory of the circle of the earth, telling that the feet under which everyone lives are on the surface of a sphere.

At first she argued that if the ground was really round, then the person on the other side of the sphere would not fall, but his answer was snickered by a student who was eight or nine years younger than herself, telling her what gravity was, and using the ball as an experiment that made her completely irrefutable.

To this day, she still has a primary school subject of "natural science" in her package, and she wants to go back and study it carefully, but unfortunately she has to study it secretly, because her grandfather will never allow these "fallacies" to appear in his home.

Today, she continued to go to school to learn new things as usual, but she didn't want to meet her grandfather's gaffe in front of the Daming Palace on Suzaku Street.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Wang Zhaoxu immediately helped Wang Daofu up and said, "Grandpa, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the inn first." ”

Wang Daofu nodded, and finally walked towards the inn where he settled step by step with the support of the king.

……

In Weiyang Palace, after Wang Daofu's episode, Liu Ce continued to discuss important matters with the six Shangshu.

"I've heard that your ministries have been fighting for more than half a month over the distribution of funds, and it hasn't stopped for a day, okay,

I have come to administer justice to you, and you all talk about your suffering, don't hide it, and everyone hasn't known each other for a day or two, just say the reason for asking for money. ”

Xu Wenjing immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are clear about the situation of the military department, don't mention the war at Xuanwu Pass,

Nowadays, the construction of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the recruitment of soldiers and horses in the Commander's Mansion all need money and grain support, according to the salary of two silver dollars and more than 500 yuan a month for a Han soldier in the Western Regions.

Combined with the total cost of food and clothing of three silver dollars, the current quota of the two governments is 50,000 people, and the military salary expenditure in one month will reach 150,000 silver dollars, which is 1.8 million silver dollars a year.

This does not include the money lost by the armor and horses, so the minister thinks that on the day of the autumn tax, it should be allocated a little more than two percent on the original basis. ”

As soon as Xu Wenjing's voice fell, Ye Bin immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Xu Shangshu's words are light, and I am afraid that among the six departments, the military department is currently the richest.

Only a few years ago, the two generals Bai Qi and Duan Cheng plundered hundreds of millions of gold and silver from all over the Western Regions, and there were countless cattle, sheep and horses.

At this time, Xu Shangshu stretched out his hand again to ask for money, and said something ugly, this food is inevitably too ugly, and the military department now eats meat every day.

Do you want to even let go of the leftover soup in our ceremonial pot? The minister thought that the Han Dynasty was waiting for the new, and only by cultivating more teachers and building more schools for civilians to study was the top priority.

Therefore, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is really not much to divide the original quota base and increase it by 20% to the Ministry of Rites, after all, education is the foundation of the country. ”
