The snow is tense.

She asked, "Why don't you send weaver girls from all over the family to learn from me?" ”

King Qin smiled and said, "No, let the noble girl come." ”

King Qin didn't explain to Xue, and Xue didn't dare to ask. She jotted down her doubts and prepared to ask her beloved in the evening.

There were people who were surprised by King Qin's decision, but Prince Zhu patted his chest and said that he would let his favorite Mrs. Huayang also spin and weave, what else did they dare to say?

They could only keep praising the crown prince, the future queen who personally weaved, and was a model for all the women in the world.

Ying Xiaozheng listened carefully to the words of King Qin and Doctor Qing, and his little head kept turning.

Father Zeng asked the noblewomen to learn and promote the new cotton weaving, which was sure to quickly arouse imitation among the low-level scholars and wealthy merchants. Most of the land of the Qin State was in the hands of the nobles and wealthy merchants, and as long as the nobles and wealthy merchants began to grow cotton, then cotton could be quickly spread throughout the Qin state.

When the peasants saw that the land of the nobles and wealthy merchants had begun to grow cotton, they would also dispel their concerns and set aside some fields to grow cotton.

Moreover, it is difficult to spread the technology to farmers with the power of the government alone. Local heroes are the ones who have the easiest direct contact with farmers and pay for them to learn technology.

But Father Zeng probably wouldn't have directly ordered the promotion, because once the order was given, some nobles might be motivated by their greed and let the peasants pull out the grain in the fields to grow cotton in order to get the king's reward.

They don't pull out their own grain, they don't care if the peasants starve to death because they switch grain to cotton.

Yes, it's like when Zhao Guo promoted potatoes.

Although Qin's local control was much stronger than Zhao's, and this would not happen widely, no matter how little it happened, it would weaken Qin's strength.

And...... And my uncle must have been very sad for the peasant who should not have starved to death, because he took out the cotton and starved to death.

"Zheng'er, do you have anything to say to Great-Father Zeng?" The old King Qin had been observing Ying Xiaozheng, and seeing Ying Xiaozheng's thoughtful look, he smiled and hugged Ying Xiaozheng in front of all the doctors, and asked with a smile.

Ying Xiaozheng said: "I'm thinking, if Father Zeng forcibly implements cotton planting, I'm afraid that some officials will ask farmers to change grain to cotton in order to invite merit." Zeng's father asked his aunt to weave cotton cloth with the Xianyang noblewoman, and cotton fabric was used as a fashion ......"

Seeing the puzzled eyes of others, Ying Xiaozheng said: "Fashion is the most popular thing at this time. Cotton cloth became the fashion of the Qin aristocracy, and other scholars and wealthy merchants who wanted to make huge profits would surely compete to imitate it. There is no need for Zeng's father to order promotion, cotton will naturally be promoted. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "The peasants are the most conservative and don't know what is happening in the capital, so they will definitely be the last to plant cotton." At that time, the technology for growing and weaving cotton was already mature, and even if they switched to new crops, it would not have much of a negative impact. ”

King Qin smiled: "Well said. ”

King Qin put Ying Xiaozheng down, patted Ying Xiaozheng on the shoulder, and asked Ying Xiaozheng to stand beside the prince pillar: "Take care of the child." ”

Prince Zhu took Ying Xiaozheng's hand beautifully.

See, how good is my grandson? Hahahaha.

Meng Fu whispered to Meng Wu: "Could it be that Gongzizheng's words were taught by Changping Jun?" ”

Meng Wu whispered: "It's definitely not taught by Zhu Xiang. Father, you haven't come to live in Zhu Xiang's house, so I don't know how smart Zheng'er is. Sometimes I talk to Zheng'er and it feels like he's an adult. ”

He paused and added, "When he carried Zhu Xiang on his back, he looked like he was already an adult. ”

Meng Fu was curious: "What about in front of Changpingjun?" ”

Meng Wu learned Zhu Xiang's words and said, "Uncle, hungry, sleepy, hug." ”

Ying Xiaozheng turned his head sharply and looked at Meng Wu with eagle-like eyes.

Meng Wu immediately shut his mouth.

Ying Xiaozheng gave Meng Wu a warning look before turning his head back.

Why could Ying Xiaozheng hear Meng Wu's words, and he was so short that he could still stare at Meng Wu? Of course, it was because of Meng Fu and Meng Wu's father and son stood behind the crown prince pillar to protect the king of Qin and the crown prince.

Ying Xiaozheng frowned.

Meng Wu in the dream is a taciturn person, he has not had much contact, and he is more familiar with Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi are both very thoughtful people, and he trusts them very much. In imagination, Meng Wu should also be a mature and stable person.

But the Meng Wu he came into contact with himself was a bit of what his uncle called "off the line"?

He still thought that Meng Wu was the only one like this, how could Meng Wu be like this? Is this a father-to-son story?

Could it be that Meng Tian and Meng Yi also have a side that he doesn't know?

Ying Xiaozheng knew that King Qin was inspecting Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and he would let them be his companions after the investigation.

I don't know what Meng Tian and Meng Yi look like in this era, Ying Xiaozheng has some expectations.

After Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen took a shower and changed their clothes, in order to show their courtesy, they tied up their wet hair.

Xunzi already knew about the movements of Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen in the cotton field, and wanted to give them a few rings.

Now do you know the number of rites? Why didn't you know when you were fighting in the mud in the cotton fields?

Looking at Xunzi's ugly face, Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen ran away, like two thieves who stole something and were discovered by the master's family.

Xun Zi wanted to reprimand the two of them for a few words, but when he saw that the two of them were running away so fast, he was so angry that he kept smashing the ground with crutches.

After thinking about it, Xunzi was still angry, and broke the crutches horizontally.

Han Fei's shoulders shook and shrank, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Every time he saw Xunzi angry, he was so scared.

He felt that he could not become a successor of Confucianism after Xunzi, in addition to his own heart for Legalism, the value of force was also a big problem.

He definitely can't do something at Xunzi's advanced age, and he can still be so angry that he can break his crutches to vent his anger.

"Are you going to see the cotton fields?" Xunzi was a little angry, threw away the broken crutches and asked.

Han Fei shook his head in frustration.

Xunzi didn't ask Han Fei why he was frustrated. He said, "Then go back and read." ”

Han Fei: "Yes. ”

Before entering the study, he glanced in the direction of the cotton field, and his eyes were very lonely.

King Qin took the crown prince and Dr. Qing to inspect the cotton field in person, can King Han do it?

None of the Han kings of the past generations would do it.

There are records of the ancient sage king who personally cultivated and weaved, and he thought that these things were impossible with the changes of the times.

But the actions of the ancient virtuous kings also appeared in this era, but they appeared in the people who were all attacked by the six kingdoms as the king of tigers and wolves.

What is the Lord of the Tiger Wolf? What is Renjun?

Han Fei couldn't read the book, got up and walked in front of Xunzi, and asked respectfully: "Xunzi, what, what is benevolence?" Zhu Xianggong is willing to be, it must be benevolent, that, the king of Qin ......"

After he asked, he smiled bitterly: "King Qin, King Qin is definitely not." ”

"If he can be considerate of civilians, then no matter how bad his personal morality is, he is also benevolent." What Xunzi was holding in his hand was still a bamboo slip.

Although the disciples of the Xianyang Academy were copying the books on the bamboo slips onto the paper, Xunzi still liked to hold the bamboo slips in his hand.

Han Fei asked, "This, this is also the case?" Is this Xunzi, Xunzi's benevolence? ”

Xunzi said: "It's not just my benevolence, but also the benevolence of my ancestor Confucius." ”

Xunzi looked at the bamboo slips with his eyes, and said without raising his head: "Don't learn anything from Xia Mencius, they are a group of cheap Confucians who can only talk about morality and sell their reputation." They distorted the idea of the ancestor Confucius and were Confucian sinners. ”

Listening to Xunzi routinely scolding the rest of Confucianism, Han Fei's shoulders shook again.

The most terrible thing about apprenticeing to Xunzi is listening to Xunzi scolding the sages. Even if he prides himself on disrespecting the sages, he doesn't say that he disrespects the sages themselves.

But Xunzi ...... Oh,.

Han Fei, who still respects his ancestors now, didn't know that he would inherit Xunzi's poisonous tongue in the future, and wrote a scolding essay similar to Xunzi's, scolding all the schools that were not his own.

However, Han Fei is still not as ruthless as Xun Zi, and only scolds large groups such as Mo, Confucianism, and Xia, and is not right about things or people. And Xunzi is directly named.

After routinely scolding the Confucian, Xunzi finally put down the bamboo slips and talked about "benevolence".

Confucius was ostensibly the defender of the Zhou rites, but in fact all he did was digging into the corners of the Zhou rites.

For example, Zhou Li required that only nobles could read and write, and Confucius was the first to open private schools, not to mention low-level scholars, and even "savages" who were not even civilians at that time could be enrolled.

Confucius's highest evaluation of people in his heart was "benevolence", but he once commented on Chen Wenzi, a scholar with an almost perfect character at that time, and said that he was not "benevolent".

Confucius scolded Guan Zhong many times, whether it was ideological ideas or private morality, he had a lot of criticism about Guan Zhong.

But Guan Zhong is a person who Confucius rarely praised as "benevolent".

Guan Zhong let the Qi State live and work in peace and contentment, so that the Qi State could compete for hegemony without soldiers, and Confucius praised "such as its benevolence, such as its benevolence!" Once is not enough, and I said it twice.

Therefore, in Confucius's heart, "benevolence" is not a private virtue, but can assist the monarch to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if he does not use troops to plunder others, he can enrich the country and strengthen the people, which is the noblest person in Confucius's heart.

"So if the King of Qin, with the assistance of Zhu Xiang, can turn the tyrannical Qin army into a volunteer soldier to save the world, then why can't the King of Qin be called 'Renjun'?" Xunzi asked rhetorically.

Han Fei was silent.

Xunzi said: "Do you want to go to the cotton field to have a look?" ”

Han Fei said: "Don't go." ”

Xunzi sighed and said, "Then do you want to continue reading?" ”

Han Fei said sadly: "Look, I can't see it." ”

Xunzi picked up the book and said, "When you want to go to the cotton field, I'll take you there." ”

Han Fei silently shrunk his shoulders, as if he wanted to curl up.

Xunzi glanced at Han Fei and sighed in his heart.

When Han Fei can straighten his spine and shoulders anytime and anywhere, he will be out of the school.

However, for Han Fei, as long as he still has the Han royal family in his heart, it will be difficult to abandon his identity as a Korean son.

Alas, there is only one collateral son who attaches importance to Korea in the Korean clan who is not valued, how can such a Korea not perish?

Chapter 65: The Colorful Dumpling Feast

Han Fei still didn't go to meet King Qin in the end.

He sat in the study, not reading, just staring blankly at the potted plant on the table.

The spices extracted by Zhu Xiang were not specially disclosed, but they were planted in the courtyard or in flower pots, and if relatives and friends liked them, they would give some to them.

The most scarce thing in this era was food, and Zhu Xiang was worried that he had promoted spices and other crops that were only enjoyed by the nobles, and with the character of some nobles, he might be like Zhao Guo promoted potatoes in winter, and there were more harsh policies that increased the burden on farmers.
