He has no ability to control the imperial court for the time being, and there is no way to stop the tyranny of military conscription and tax increases in the imperial courtPolitics, however, give him a few years...... Give him a few more years......

He will do his best to continue to write a few pages of history. Let these pages of history face up to the suffering of the people and praise the glory of the people.

This is his realization.

In other words, this is the consciousness that a king should have.

Nan Liujing stood in the persimmon forest for a long time, and it was only after the guards worried that something was wrong that he came in, so he put the Son of Heaven Sword back into the sheath.

The guard reminded: "Your Highness, it's time for us to go down the mountain." ”

Nan Liujing didn't reply, raised his right hand, and gently touched the persimmon flower with his fingertips.

The petals were wet with rain and drooped tremblingly. Nan Liujing pointed a finger, and the rain dripped from the tip of the petal, hitting the side of his warm cheek.

Nan Liujing smiled lightly.

The guard proposed, "If Childe likes this flower, you can pick it and take it away." ”

"No, just let it grow freely on the branches."

Nan Liujing shook his head, deeply engraved the appearance of this persimmon flower in his mind, turned around and strode out of the persimmon forest.

Back in the village, Nan Liujing went to see the village chief again.

The village chief was talking to other villagers, and Yu Guang saw Nan Liujing's figure, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Your nobleman, you are back." ”

Nan Liujing said: "Village chief, I have something I want to say to you alone. ”

"Okay, please come in."

The village chief led Nan Liujing into the back room, and the guards guarded the door.

Nan Liujing got straight to the point and said: "I have two suggestions, and the village chief can choose by himself. ”

"The first suggestion is that I take action and directly help Qingshui Village escape this conscription and tax increase."

The village chief's face showed joy, but he didn't answer: "I don't know what the second suggestion given by the nobleman is?" ”

"The second suggestion is that Qingshui Village pays taxes and joins the army according to the laws of the imperial court."

After a pause, Nan Liujing said: "Has the village chief heard of the shops in the north?" ”

"The shops in the north are my industry, and now is the time for a big development and a lack of manpower."

"When I go back, I will say hello to the other side and ask the shops in the north to provide some opportunities for the villagers to make money. In this way, the people in the village will not go hungry because of the overpayment of taxes. ”

"The soldiers who have been conscripted in the village, I will find a way to keep them together and not let them die on the battlefield for no reason. will also try their best to ensure their correspondence with their families, so that every subsidy issued to them by the imperial court can fall into their hands. ”

"I will also find a way to inquire about the whereabouts of the villagers who were taken away before. Whether it is dead or alive, at least let the family know one outcome. ”

The village chief had never heard of the phrase "it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish", but he knew it.

The noble man in front of him has a noble status, and he can help them once or twice, but can he help them every time.

Even if this noble man can make a move again and again, they can't rely on the kindness of the nobleman to gain an inch.

"Your honor, I'm going to choose the second one." The village chief only pondered for a few breaths before making a decision, "It's just that this way, you won't have to worry about it." ”

The second suggestion is much more troublesome than the first.

"You're welcome, since I brought it up, I can naturally help you do it." Nan Liujing smiled, "Speaking of which, I still have some things I want to ask the village chief for help. ”

The village chief patted his chest and promised: "Your nobleman has helped us so much, if there is anything I can help, just ask." ”

"The situation of other villages should be similar to that of Qingshui Village. I hope that the village chief can help me get in touch with other villages as soon as possible, so that I can arrange it together. ”

The village chief was pleasantly surprised: "What kind of trouble is this, don't worry, I will contact other villages early tomorrow morning, and this matter will be completed the day after tomorrow." ”

After communicating with the village chief, Nan Liujing got up and returned to the courtyard, and happened to see a little boy and a six or seven-year-old girl sitting on the edge of the grass hut eating green dates.

The brother and sister were very happy to eat, and the little girl shook her head while eating.

Nan Liujing raised his hand and touched his cuffs, took out a purse full of candied fruit, and called the little boy.

The brother and sister turned back together.

The little girl timidly shrank behind the little boy, revealing only a pair of round eyes staring at Nanliujing.

"This is a thank you for showing me the way." Nanliujing stuffed the candied fruit to the little boy.

The little boy glanced at the village chief, and when he saw the village chief nodding, he accepted it.

Nan Liujing asked, "Are you literate?" ”

The little boy shook his head.

"Is there a school near your village?"

"There was a Xiucai who opened an enlightenment school in the next village, and when I went to herd cattle with my friends, I eavesdropped on his class outside. But when we were discovered, he blew us away. ”

Nan Liujing asked, "Do you want to study?" ”

The little boy pursed his lips: "I don't want to." ”

Nan Liujing touched the little boy's dry hair, and did not expose the little boy's duplicity: "When I was your age, I didn't read any books, at most I knew a few words more than you." ”

The little boy's eyes widened in surprise, and even the little girl behind him stared at Nanliujing in disbelief.

Nan Liujing asked: "I plan to open a free school near the village, and I will also provide one free meal a day. When you and your friends go to school, when you get your grades, you will come and help me do things, how about it? ”

"Yes...... May I? The little boy stumbled.

At noon today, he saw that this noble man had promised to arrange a position for Brother Yang Zhen, and he was envious at that time. If he wasn't young, he would have to learn from Brother Yang Zhen to kowtow to this nobleman and beg the nobleman to accept him.

"If you learn well, you can."

The little boy nodded vigorously, and his round eyes showed admiration: "Don't worry, noble, I will definitely study hard!" ”

As if thinking of something, the little boy scratched his head, and his dark face showed shyness: "Noble, can you also ask my name?" ”

Nan Liujing was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Yang Tie."

"Okay, Yang Tie, I remember you."

Nan Liujing looked at the little girl hiding behind Yang Tie again.

When she heard that her brother could go to school for free, the little girl's face was full of envy, but she obediently did not speak and did not ask for anything.

"Girls can go to school, too."

"In addition to teaching literacy, the school will also teach female red, medical books, and arithmetic...... No matter what you learn, as long as you listen to the lectures, you can learn a craft. ”

The little girl's mouth opened wide in shock: "But Lao Xiucai said that his private school doesn't accept girls." I know his little granddaughter, and his little granddaughter is just as illiterate as I am. ”

Nanliu Jingguaner: "I am different from Lao Xiucai, the private school I opened will accept girls." ”

In this era, education was almost completely monopolized by the aristocracy, and knowledge circulated only in the upper classes. Ordinary people who want to read and write need to pay a very big price.

He wants to break the almost completely solidified stratum and give the people at the bottom more opportunities to get ahead.

And the first step is to break this educational monopoly, so that more people in the world, regardless of whether they are men or women, can read and write and be sensible.

The little girl was stunned in place for a few seconds, and then suddenly whispered, "Noble, can you also remember my name?" ”

"Okay." Nan Liujing asked seriously, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Yang Le. Safe and happy Yang Le. ”

"Yang Le, I hope that in a few years, I can hear your name again."

After leaving Qingshui Village, Nan Liujing immediately went to see Li Guanqi.

In this world, the most profitable business must be the monopoly business. With soap, perfume, glass and other things, Li Guanqi's business is getting bigger and bigger.

In the past six months, Li Guanqi has been very busy, but he has also lived a very fulfilling life. He had gained some weight, his face was ruddy, and he was full of energy.

After listening to Nan Liujing's plan, Li Guanqi responded: "No problem, leave it all to me, I will send someone to take over as soon as possible." ”

Nan Liujing trusts Li Guanqi's ability to do things very much: "Second Brother Li, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

"Don't talk like that." Li Guanqi patted Nan Liujing's shoulder, "If you think I'm hard, find me more helpers." The business is expanding too fast, and I've been hiring, but I've been short of people. ”

Nan Liujing smiled: "I met a very stubborn child named Yang Zhen, how about I leave him by your side and give you a hand?" ”

"Yang Zhen?" Li Guanqi recalled, "Is it the very thin boy who came with you?" ”

"It's him."

Li Guanqi was speechless: "...... He must be as big as you. ”

Nan Liujing laughed: "What do you think of him?" He's from Qingshui Village, so you can leave the affairs of Qingshui Village to him at that time. ”

Li Guanqi naturally has no opinion. Although he has no contact with Yang Zhen, but being favored by Nanliujing, Yang Zhen must be talented.

The two sat and talked about the old days for a while, had a lunch, and went to their respective businesses.

A few days later, Nan Liujing received a letter from Li Guanqi, saying that things in Qingshui Village were almost arranged, but they didn't work out so quickly.

Nan Liujing put his mind at ease, abandoned distracting thoughts, locked himself in the study, and began to write a strategy again.

This time, he did it almost in one go.

By the time the 10,000-word essay came to an end, the plane trees outside the window had been dyed golden.

Nan Liujing pushed open the window and fed the birds wandering in the courtyard with some food, and then wrote the last paragraph.

The breeze sent a chill, and Nan Liujing moved his wrist, pulled out a new piece of paper, and re-copied the policy, making his handwriting appear more neat.

After practicing calligraphy for three years, his handwriting is still not very good-looking, but the style between the lines is the same as Yao Rong.

It took a few days for Nanliujing to finally complete the transcription.

He took the new manuscript with ink and went to Qu Jianbai's residence.

Qu Jianbai was sitting by the window reading a book, and when he saw Nanliujing coming, he casually took a fallen leaf from the window that had not been swept away, and inserted it into the book to mark: "I heard that His Royal Highness has been staying in the study to write articles these days. Is this already written? ”

Nan Liujing smiled slightly: "Master Lao Qu has been waiting for a long time. ”

Incense was burning in the house, and Qu Jianbai poured a cup of tea for Nan Liujing.

Nan Liujing held the manuscript in both hands and respectfully handed it to Qu Jianbai: "Please take a look at Master Qu." ”

Qu Jian cleaned his hands, wiped the water on his hands with a white cloth, and then solemnly opened the manuscript and lowered his eyes to read.

In all fairness, Nanliujing's writing is not good, and the words are even more plain.

When Qu Jianbai was teaching students in Jiangnan, he was accustomed to seeing articles written in flowers, and it was the first time he had seen such plain and simple words.

But Nanliujing is not badly written.

On the contrary, the love between the lines is genuine.

He started from the aspects of people's livelihood, education, and party affiliation to write about Daye in his eyes.

In terms of people's livelihood, he wrote: "Suzaku Street is prosperous for ten miles, and the northwest border is barren for thousands of miles. ”

In terms of education, he wrote: "Confucius has 3,000 disciples, and he has adhered to education and no class all his life, focusing on lowering the threshold of education. Today, the Confucian classics are locked between several portals, forming an educational monopoly that cannot benefit the world. ”

In the party government, he wrote: "Those who are loyal to the country are given poison and wine, those who break the battle and kill the enemy should be punished for their crimes, and those who commit rebellion will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister." ”

……

When he saw the sentence "Those who are loyal to the country are given poisonous wine", Qu Jianbai's breath suddenly suffocated.

Serve the country with loyalty, and give poison and wine.

This is talking about Yue Fei and Yue Pengju in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Breaking the formation and killing the enemy should be punished.

This is the Yao family.

If you commit a rebellion, you will be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister.

This is the Ji family.

In just three sentences, the disaster of the party struggle of Daye is exhausted, and the emperor is mediocre and incompetent.

Qu Jianbai took a deep breath, and he found that he was the one who underestimated the third prince.

It can be said that the third prince's understanding of this world has exceeded his imagination.

But if it only comes to this point, Qu Jianbai can't say disappointed, but he has some regrets.

It was difficult for him to articulate the cause of this regret.

Maybe it's because ...... Nanliujing has done a good job, but he has more and deeper expectations for Nanliujing, hoping that Nanliujing can give him more surprising answers.

Pressing the thoughts in his heart, Qu Jianbai pinched the rest of the manuscript with his fingers, and was slightly surprised: Is it so thick?

Qu Jianbai couldn't wait to turn the next page.

When he saw the content on it clearly, Qu Jianbai's eyes lit up.

After describing the Daye in his eyes, Nanliujing turned his pen and began to describe his ideal Daye-

The imperial court was lightly taxed, the treasury was full, and the society was stable.

The people no longer have to worry about displacement, the DPRK and China no longer have the suffering of the powerful ministers in power, and there is no more chaos of alien races on the border.

After describing his ideal dynasty, he did not stop, but started writing again, talking about some of the attempts he had made in Qingshui Village.

……

Qu Jianbai's gaze fell on it, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

It was Nan Liujing's voice that recalled Qu Jianbai's thoughts: "Master Qu, do you want to drink some tea?" ”

Qu Jianbai put down the manuscript, held the teacup, and looked complicated: "Your Highness's ambitions are very ambitious. ”

Although Nan Liujing did not say it clearly in the article, the pain of letting the court and the central government no longer have the right to be in charge is to eradicate the entire Ji family.

Let the people no longer have the worry of displacement, so that the border is no longer disturbed by foreign races, is to create a prosperous era again.

After a while, Qu Jianbai took a sip of tea, and his usually clear voice was hoarse: "Your Highness, in your article, you mentioned the prosperity and decline of many dynasties. You say that the lessons of history are clearly there, but history repeats itself repeatedly, why is that? ”

Nanliujing was slightly stunned.

Familiar images emerge from the depths of memory.

Nan Liujing remembers that in his first class, he also asked the teacher this question.

At that time, how did the teacher answer?

"History is made by people, and history repeats itself again and again because human nature is always the same. Their inner desires will drive them to do things that are beneficial to themselves and conform to the laws of history. ”

Qu Jianbai stared deeply at Nanliujing and continued to ask: "If we can't avoid repeating the mistakes of the past by studying history, then why should we study history?" ”

Time passed, and countless pictures appeared in front of Nanliujing.

Questions that he couldn't understand and couldn't answer at the time, now he has definite answers.

"I wrote in the policy treatise that although the people are suffering and the people are suffering, living in a prosperous era is completely different from living in a troubled world."

"Dynasties are cyclical, so if it is a few decades or a hundred years, the old dynasty will fall apart and a new dynasty will be born. Perhaps no matter how we struggle, we will not be able to resist the general trend of history, let alone the rise and fall of dynasties. ”

But if a person can prolong the existence of the prosperous times as much as possible in his limited life, and shorten the time of the existence of the troubled times as much as possible, how can he say that his struggle and his existence are meaningless? How can it be said that it is useless to study history? ”

Qu Jianbai's heart was shaken.

But it was Yao Rong who was more shocked than him.

Prolong the prosperous times and shorten the troubled times......

It's easy to say, but how hard is it to do?

It turned out that in the original plot, her child set himself on fire in the Star Picking Palace with such an idea of "if you can't prolong the prosperous times, then shorten the troubled times......

The sky was full of clouds outside the house, and Qu Jianbai and Nan Liujing finally ended the state of asking and answering.

Qu Jianbai finally determined that this young man with a young face still had a young face in his heart.

"Your Highness must have heard of the Governor of Jiangnan's evaluation of me."

Nan Liujing smiled: "Of course I've heard of it. ”

Qu Jianbai's expression was gentle and relaxed: "At that time, I was as old as His Highness. ”

"I used to be complacent because of this evaluation, and I took Kuang Fu Sheji as my lifelong ideal. But after the Yao family's case broke out, I was ashamed every time I thought of this comment. ”

Nan Liujing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Qu Jianbai raised his hand to stop him, and said softly: "I said this not to let His Highness comfort me. Instead, I want to tell Your Highness that I have seen the hope of Daye in you. ”

"—Your Highness, you are the talented and beautiful jade of Daye."

[Congratulations to Nanliujing, complete the main quest four: subdue Qu Jianbai and make Qu Jianbai loyal to you.] Awarded 1,000 taels of gold and 100 points. ]：，，
