Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Didn't you see the registration book?" ”

Shuanghong smiled and said, "Slaves and maids can always go to the museum to take a look and count to see which school's bookshelf is the emptyest." ”

After speaking, Fu lowered his voice again, and said: "The slave and maid borrowed the book, and they should have come back as soon as possible, but they couldn't get things done properly, and they were unwilling in the end." I found a remote place and waited and waited, took advantage of the gap between them and put some laxatives into the teacup, delayed for a moment, and hurriedly flipped through the records of the last month. ”

"In addition to His Royal Highness, several other His Highnesses have also sent people to borrow books, especially His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, but most of them have borrowed Confucian doctrines, and among them are famous Confucianism......

Ying Zheng sat on the seat and listened to her, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and his eyes showed approval: "You did a good job." ”

Shuanghong was laughed at by him, and his soul flew half a way, and only after a few moments did he come back to his senses, blushing slightly, and said abruptly: "The slave and maid are just following orders." ”

Looking at the look of the sixth prince again, he knew that he was thinking about something, so he quietly blessed himself and withdrew.

Ying Zheng didn't notice this verse -- in his opinion, the people around him should be so knowledgeable and interesting.

He only strengthened his initial judgment.

The Emperor was indeed an Emperor with great ambitions.

He was stingy enough when it was time to be stingy.

In order to save money, they did not even let their sons go out of the palace to open the palace, and the eldest prince and the second prince had several children, and they were all crowded in the palace.

But when it was time to be generous, he was generous enough.

Knowing that the Zhou State was located in the west, that it was a cultural desert land, and that there were few talented people in the region, he spent thousands of dollars to recruit talented people from all over the world, and made an exception to appoint people who were not from his own country as the heads of all the prime ministers.

Among the nations, it is not surprising that only the Zhou State has the loudest voice of changing the law and going the farthest on this road.

And the eldest prince, who was originally a sure prince, did not look like a successor who could carry the emperor's hopes.

This is a world where many elements are mixed, the official system is somewhat like the Tang and Song dynasties, and the relations between the states are somewhat like the Warring States period, but the development of political forms and the level of social productive forces are much more mature than those of the Warring States period.

For a country, this is a double-edged sword.

The ability of the people to accumulate wealth means that the people's lives are relatively rich, and when the people are rich, the country will be rich, and only when the country is rich can we begin to talk about the strength of the country.

But this also means that the gap between the rich and the poor is widening rapidly, and the top elites are constantly harvesting social wealth, and this society will become more and more fragmented, until the bottom is under-bearing, uprisings are frequent, and finally the upper class is violently pushed down and all the cards are reshuffled.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and now that the productive forces are developing rapidly, the superstructure is still in the old form of the old times, and if we do not carry out a thorough reform from the top down now, we are afraid that in a few years, it will be crushed by the wheels of history rolling forward!

What the emperor has to do now is to open up the passage for the lower classes of the people to reach the upper classes and do his best to ease the contradictions -- he has actually completed most of this arduous task.

By means of foreign conquests, the contradictions were diverted, just as the Qin State had done in the past, so that the people were timid in private fights, brave in public wars, and promoted to military merit.

And to some extent, he even did better than the Qin State - because he and Prime Minister Jiang Maoyan had already started the imperial examination in the Zhou State!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

It is true that the elites are displeased with the promotion of the lower level through military merit, but they also have to admit that the emergence of this group of new military nobles has indeed brought vitality to the country.

And the most important thing is that they can't eat this feat themselves!

Which of the emerging military nobles is not experienced in a hundred battles and licks blood with a knife?

The officials who earned their heads on the waistband of their trousers, they are not greedy.

But the imperial examination is different.

This is digging the foundations of the old aristocracy!

Don't say anything, the talent output rate of the old aristocratic class is far higher than that of the ordinary people, and the determination and perseverance of the bottom to climb up are much stronger than the so-called talent output rate!

At first, the emperor spent 10,000 dollars to build the Hongwen Museum and ask for a collection of books in the world, but the old nobles still thought that this was because the emperor felt that his house was short of ink and wanted to decorate the façade from the outside.

This is to prepare for the national imperial examination!

……

Kobunkan.

This pavilion, which is famous in many countries and has almost all the books collected by people from all over the world, is magnificent and majestic beyond the imagination of the world.

At the beginning of the construction, Emperor Zhou strictly ordered that there should be a division, and its regulations should not be inferior to the Taiji Palace, and even for this purpose, the craftsmen who built the imperial tomb were mobilized here in order to achieve speed.

Now the Hongwen Pavilion has been completed, when the world is a grand view, the people of all countries are amazed, but Emperor Zhou's own imperial mausoleum is still a half-finished project.

Zhu Meng stopped outside the main entrance of the Hongwen Hall for a long time, but he saw an endless stream of people coming and going, wearing different national costumes and accents, but the expressions on their faces were the same.

It was a thirst for hope.

Then go to the Hongwen Museum.

As a native of another country and had never entered the Zhou Kingdom, Zhu Meng could only borrow books on the first floor of the Hongwen Pavilion, and he could only read them in the museum, and he was not allowed to take them out—but even so, it was already a great favor.

Ordinary people's books are regarded as family heirlooms, so how can they be taken out in a grand manner and freely available for others to read?

Zhu Meng did not rush to take a closer look, but circled around the entire floor from the starting position, and the officials guarding the pavilion did not feel strange when they saw this, and even showed a kind of proud pride on their faces.

People from all over the world come to Hongwen Hall, there are many such people, and it is not surprising that they are dumbfounded!

Zhu Meng read the classics in the Hongwen Pavilion in a hurry, and his face not only showed a worried look, but then he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so depressed! ”

The official was beside him, and after hearing this, he smiled and said, "Your guest is the first time to arrive in Zhou, right?" If you want to say that Corporal Lixian respects talented and virtuous people, in today's world, who else is my master? The country is not limited to the origin, if you are interested, the museum will naturally have a recommendation. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Meng's sigh became more and more intense: "All countries emphasize that death is like life, and some rich families even go bankrupt in order to organize funerals for their parents, and it is even more common for princes to compare with each other. ”

"However, I have heard that Emperor Zhou even suspended the construction of the imperial mausoleum in order to build the Hongwen Pavilion, and that the amount of money used by himself and the princes of the harem was also repeatedly reduced, and in order to absorb the world's collection of books, he used gold as if it were clay, and I did not feel sorry at all. I'm afraid that in less than fifty years, those kings and princes and rich sons will become slaves of the Zhou State! ”

The clerk smiled silently.

Someone behind him said, "'Yu Yu Wenzai' -- is Your Excellency a Confucian?" ”

Zhu Meng turned his head and was dumbfounded first.

When he was in his hometown, he was famous for his handsomeness, and when he came to the Zhou Kingdom from the west, there were many bold women who were impressed by his beauty and wanted to be with him.

However, the half-grown boy in front of him, although he was a few years younger than him, had already shown a demeanor that was unique in the world, so that a beautiful man like Zhu Meng even gave birth to a sense of admiration that the jewel was on his side and felt that he was filthy.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng frowned imperceptibly.

He was a little helpless, and the people in the same space complained, "Why did they all behave like this after seeing me?"

Shuanghong walked with him today, and has been following the Sixth Prince since he was a child, and when he saw his expression slightly, he could guess what he was thinking at this time, and he couldn't help but hide his mouth and snicker.

Your Highness, he really doesn't know how conspicuous he is among the crowd!

After listening to his reply last night, he actually asked himself a little puzzled: "Shuanghong, I had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but now that I suddenly have ambitions, won't you suspect that your master is actually a different person?" ”

Shuanghong was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.

Your Highness, to put it mildly, you are a full man, but you don't know how hungry you are!

If a demon can take away your body, he will have to drool for a quarter of an hour when he looks in the mirror, and when he sees Shuyi Niangniang, he will have to drool for a quarter of an hour.

The emperors in the space asked by Ying Zheng: "......"

Ahh

Liu Che, who was the most talkative in Su Rili, was speechless for a while.

Though...... But......

Although we are both above the passing mark, we really haven't been as beautiful as you......

Of course, there will be no such troubles.

He easily found a few words to deal with, but Yingzheng over there had already realized it himself.

"—Aren't you all going to be able to do that?"

He apologized: "I'm sorry, I accidentally forgot." ”

Liu Che: "......"

The rest : "......"

The fist is hard!

Chapter 190

Zhu Meng woke up from the beauty of the young man in front of him, bowed his hand, and answered his previous question: "Zai Xia is not a Confucian disciple, but a ruler of Huang Lao, but the world's learning is bypassed, and the road is the same way, so why not use Confucian language for people of the Huang Lao school?" ”

Ying Zheng said clearly: "Harmony is different. ”

Zhu Meng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Isn't this also using Confucian allusions?" ”

Ying Zheng saw that his clothes were very different from those of his own country, so he knew that he was a visitor from another country, and felt that this person was extraordinary, so he had the heart to talk.

It happened that Zhu Meng also had this intention, so the two went to the quiet room together, and on the way, they saw a young man about twenty-three or four years old coming out of the quiet room next to him with a book, and he couldn't help but stop and watch, and his expression was emotional.

"It's a child of the Yinghou family......"

Fu sighed again: "Emperor Zhou's actions and employment can be called bold, and he will be a figure comparable to the king of martial arts!" ”

After the uprising of the Zhou Dynasty and the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the martial king Ji Fa could almost be said to be a saint-like monarch in the world, and Zhu Meng's evaluation of the Zhou Emperor cannot be said to be high.

Ying Zheng knew why he made such a statement.

Because the young man was born in the Yinghou Mansion, there is no noble bloodline, and it cannot be traced back to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

On the contrary, sixteen years ago, the contemporary Yinghou was just a lowly horse breeder!

It was when Emperor Zhou inspected the pasture, discovered this talent, carefully looked at the horses he fed and the survival rate, and knew that he left the horse farm every day after dark, and dared to go before dawn on the second day, even if it was a cold winter wax moon, but whenever a horse was sick, he slept in the horse farm nearby, and immediately promoted him to the chief officer of the horse farm.

And promised him that if he had to save ten thousand horses for the country, he would make him a marquis!

Sixteen years ago, it was the time when the military merit title system began to exert its force violently in the Zhou State, but even so, the emperor promised a lowly horse breeder the opportunity to be a marquis, and it cannot but be said that it was a shock.

What is even more shocking to the nations is that seven years ago, after verifying the number of available horses in the horse farm, Emperor Zhou resolutely fulfilled his promise and made the horse breeder a hero!

The people of the hundred workers have always been lowly and disdainful of gentlemen, and such a phoenix suddenly flew out of such a group, which made the rest of the people also begin to be excited, and Emperor Zhou issued an order to the countries at this time......

Ying Zheng didn't think that there was anything despicable about horse breeders, didn't Qin Feizi, the ancestor of the Qin State, be appreciated by the Zhou royal family because he was good at raising horses?

On the contrary, he, like Emperor Zhou, admired this Yinghou very much.

"Horses, what wonderful animals!"

Ying Zheng and the old guys sighed: "Which man can refuse? ”

The rest of the people sighed and echoed, only Liu Che suddenly burst out with a sentence.
