Chapter 338: The Emperor's Determination
In the early court, the civil officials all held back their anger, and planned to talk to the emperor when they went to the court, so that the emperor could take back his life, otherwise how would he live in the future?
But when it came to the last dynasty, as soon as the emperor's order came out, the civil officials didn't have the heart to investigate whether the court rode a wooden horse or not, because in their opinion, it was a trivial matter.
In the early dynasty, the emperor directly let Chang Fang put a small gatekeeper and was promoted to the captain of a hundred people.
In fact, according to Chang Fang's qualifications, plus he is the son of General Chang, he should have been promoted a long time ago, but because he didn't know a single word, many ministers in the court opposed it, so he has always been a small gatekeeper.
And as soon as the emperor's will came out, the most shocking thing was the six first and auxiliary ministers, they still remembered that the emperor was going to bet with them twenty days ago, does that mean that the person the emperor said has taught the content of the three enlightenment books of Changfang, but this is impossible, you must know that the person is Changfang.
And at the same time, they were also glad in their hearts, fortunately, they did not agree to the emperor's gambling contract at that time.
No matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to learn these three books in twenty days, let alone put that elm head often.
The six ministers knew what was going on inside, but the ministers above didn't know.
The emperor said that he wanted to promote Chang Fang to the captain of the team, and some ministers who did not deal with General Chang stood up to oppose it.
"Your Majesty, you often can't read a single word, if you let such a person serve as the team leader, it won't make the world laugh."
The emperor was waiting for this sentence, and he was often promoted to a squad leader of the Imperial Forest Army, such a trivial matter The emperor didn't need to take it to the early court to talk about it, but the emperor did it.
Among them, many ministers vaguely guessed that the emperor might have some other reason for doing this, but they couldn't think of it for a while. But there are also those who can't be imagined, just like the minister who just spoke up.
"Xuan Changfang."
After a while, Chang Fang came to the main hall and first saluted the emperor.
"Subordinates see the emperor."
"Excuse me, tell the ministers, what will you do now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Chang Fang answered, he turned his head to look at the ministers.
"Now the three characters are known through the surnames of the hundred families and the words in the thousand-character text."
As soon as Chang Fang said this, many officials didn't believe it, and Chang Fang's reputation from childhood to adulthood had long been spread in Kyoto City, so how could he become literate all of a sudden.
But soon the ministers had to believe that the emperor had prepared the four treasures of the study room and brought them to the main hall, and let the ministers below ask questions casually, as long as the words in these three books belonged to them.
Soon, some ministers didn't believe that they had said a few words, and Chang Fang wrote down the words that the minister said on the paper after a little thought, and there was no mistake in writing a single one.
Later, a few more ministers came forward, and the words that were often put were still correct, and the ministers had to believe that it was true.
Soon, the emperor waved his hand to ask Chang Fang to step back and look at Cao Ge Lao.
"Cao Aiqing, do you still remember the person I told you, she can teach Chang Fang all the contents of the three-character scripture with a hundred family names and a thousand characters within twenty days.
The person was personally selected by the six of you, and now Chang Fang has learned it, which proves that the person does have some ability, so I plan to let her personally teach a group of people to come out, and the people she taught are teaching some people to come out, and so on, and finally send those people to the state capitals, counties and villages, and teach me the people of Dazhou to read and write. ”
As soon as the emperor's words came out, there was no reaction from the military attaché's side, but the civilian officials were collectively opposed.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, there must be a gradual process of studying, and such a method of pulling out seedlings to help them grow is not a good thing for the people."
Some ministers even said that the people work in the fields every day, and it is useless to read and hyphenate words, so it is better not to learn.
In short, there are all kinds of reasons, but there is only one meaning, that is, to let the emperor take back his fate.
In fact, how could the emperor not know the thoughts of these ministers, but it was because he knew that he was even more angry, if the scholars in the world were as selfish as these ministers, then what hope did Da Zhou have?
Comparing these ministers with Zhou Yuyi, they are simply compared to the dust, even though they are just a woman.
How could the civil officials be willing to let the ordinary people be as literate and hyphenated as them, you must know that the status of scholars among the common people is extremely high, and if there is a scholar in a village, the people in the village will look up to it.
As long as you have studied a little bit of talent, you will be divided into two levels of people with the people in the village.
If everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty is literate, where does the superiority of the scholars come from, and when the time comes, they will be no different from ordinary people, how can this work!
Most of the generals are literate, but they are not interested in reading, they are only literate. As for whether the emperor taught the people to read, the generals didn't care at all.
But they would be happy to be able to work against the civil officials.
Soon, led by General Fan Lao, civil and military officials immediately quarreled together, and gradually there was a tendency to rise to martial arts.
In the past, the emperor would be afraid of the ministers of the court and the central government, but since he knew what Zhou Yu had done, the emperor felt that she dared to think as a woman, shouldn't he be more wanton as the emperor?
Since he had this idea in his heart, he couldn't suppress it, so the emperor didn't want to look at the faces of the courtiers anymore, he just wanted to do what he wanted to do.
There were many people in the court who opposed it, and in the end, the matter was debated in the court for five days before a decision was made, and the emperor narrowly won.
A small private school was set up in Kyoto City for Zhou Yu to teach himself.
The ministers argued for five days, but no one remembered to ask the identity of the man, who was only a small role in their eyes.
And the ministers didn't ask the emperor and didn't say it, the main thing was the identity of Zhou Yu's woman, if he said it, there would be another argument between the court and the central government, so the emperor didn't say anything.
After the ministers reluctantly agreed, they quickly arranged the matter.
When the decree was issued, Zhou Yu was still in Jinjia Village, and the rice at home had been threshed and received to be dried in the grain drying field.
The rice was cut for a few days, and finally Zhou Yu remembered the threshing machine, which solved a big problem.
In fact, the thresher is too simple for Zhou Yu, she doesn't even need to draw drawings, and she talks to the carpenter about the thresher and makes it, which is quite easy to make.
Just take the rice and put it in, the roller inside has a V-shaped iron groove, step on the bottom, the roller begins to rotate, and the hook will thresh the rice when it touches the rice, which is such a principle.
In modern rural areas, such small threshers are not uncommon, and there are not too many terraces that those large harvesters can't reach.
