Chapter 868： persuade (below)

Xiao Xiong said in a somewhat depressed mood: "I don't understand why the farmers still can't get enough to eat after working so hard, and they have no money to see a doctor or get medicine when they are sick. My father said that it is because farming depends entirely on the weather. When the weather is good, there is a good harvest, and when the weather is bad, Lack of harvest, good times and bad days, no matter how much accumulation you have, you will have nothing in the year of disaster, not to mention that there are very few people who can have large savings.”

"And my mother said that it was because of the low grain output and the high land rent and taxes, which made it difficult for the common people to accumulate money and food, and there were few side jobs. People were busy when farming was busy, but they all had nothing to do when farming was slack," said the bear. I don't quite understand what you're talking about. I think it's because there are no cows. Xiaohei's family has no cows, so his family is very poor. Dacai's family has two cows, so his family has a much better life. My mother manages a big cattle farm. I think as long as you give all the cows to people who don't have cows, they will be able to eat enough."

Fang Zhiyuan was stunned, then looked at Mu Yangling, stood up in awe, and saluted: "The prince's house is kind and kind, and it is a humble officer who treats people with the heart of a villain. It is really ashamed."

"Why did you say this, sir? Hurry up and sit down. I would like to ask you to bear with me. This kid has never read a few books with us since he was a child, so he can't understand the more advanced words. less trouble."

Fang Zhiyuan was about to be humble for a second, when he saw Xiaobao said with a serious face: "Brother, you are wrong, if you have cows, you may not be able to eat enough. Zhuzi's family has cows, but his family also can't eat enough. , and I can't even get the money to see a doctor when I'm sick, so there's not much difference between cows and cows."

"No, it's obviously very different."

The two children quarreled about this. Fang Zhiyuan was the first to have such an experience, and his eyes widened for a while.

Xiaoxiong has only entered the palace to study for less than half a month. He is exhausted every day, and he doesn't even have much time to talk. Naturally, he has no time to argue with Xiaobao, so this is the first time Fang Zhiyuan has seen such a scene.

Just as his eyes widened, Mu Yangling waved his hand to interrupt the two people's quarrel, saying: "Okay, you can't tell who is right or wrong tomorrow when you are so arguing, so find a time tomorrow to do an investigation, You can see the difference by looking at the situation of people with cattle and people without cattle."

The corner of Mu Yangling's eyes saw Fang Zhiyuan's eyes were slightly surprised, and he said, "After you have done the investigation, make a copy for your husband, and let him give you some pointers."

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong responded quickly. It was not the first time for them to do this kind of thing. At this time, they were already struggling with the draft, and they would go out of the palace to investigate when they planned to rest.

"Fang Shaofu, you see, the children are very busy, and they didn't waste any time. Whether it's loving brothers, filial piety, or resolving doubts in their hearts, these all take time, so I don't want the prince and the prince to spend all their time. spend on textbooks."

Fang Zhiyuan couldn't help sitting up straight, knowing that the main event was coming, the other party had prepared so much, didn't he just ask him?

He said, "What about the princess' opinion?"

"I think that the children of the royal family have more educational resources than the children of the poor family, and they should have more choices. It is not difficult for them to achieve the four words of teaching according to their aptitude, so Fang Shaofu, why not slow down teaching? Let the children have more free time to do what they want to do and seek their answers? Just like the little bear asked just now, why farmers work so hard but have not been rich, and it is difficult to maintain basic food and clothing, this question gentlemen Can you give him the answer, and will your answer satisfy them?"

"Rather than giving them perfunctory or fixed answers, let them find the answers themselves."

"Does the princess want the imperial palace to study for five days and take two days off like the palace?" Fang Zhiyuan was not stupid, Mu Yangling said so much, but the focus was on the word time.

Mu Yangling nodded and said calmly: "Yes, Fang Shaofu, they are not in a hurry to grow up. After twenty years of age, they will enter the court much earlier than others, right?"

How many people in this world can pass the entrance examination as a jinshi and become an official in the court before the age of 20?

Fang Zhiyuan said: "When the prince entered the dynasty, he naturally listened to the emperor."

"But it is naturally impossible for the prince to enter the dynasty if his studies are not completed. As long as Fang Shaofu agrees to the new study schedule, the emperor will naturally adjust the prince's entry time," Mu Yangling said with a slight smile. I came to find Fang Shaofu, obviously the emperor thinks that Fang Shaofu can make up his mind on this matter."

Fang Zhiyuan's mind turned around. If the emperor wanted to disagree, he could reject Rongjun Wang and Princess Rongjun in one bite, and if he disagreed in his heart, he could reject it in one sentence. There was absolutely no need to push people to him.

At this time, Princess Rongjun came, which means that the emperor was also undecided.

The princess of Rongjun came instead of the king of Rongjun, showing that people were weak and wanted something.

If Prince Rong came, with his character, he would have asked him to adjust the time as soon as he opened his mouth, but with his own character, the two sides would have quarreled without saying a word, and it was Rong who came. Princess Princess, the other party is a woman, and based on this alone, he will not care too much with the other party, even if he says the wrong thing, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, although the emperor is uncertain, he actually prefers Princess Rongjun.

Fang Zhiyuan sighed, thinking seriously.

If the prince can maintain such an inquiry learning attitude as before, there is nothing wrong with loose teaching time. Just as Princess Rongjun said, they are royal children and do not need imperial examinations to enter office, so there are many choices.

And a person's growth is never just about reading. Everything in life can allow children to grow and learn. The long-term is good for learning, and the short-term is admonishing for its shortcomings.

But this kind of learning method is not suitable for every royal child, because not all princes are guided by people like Princess Rongjun.

At least he won't. He may tell his children that the land rent and taxes are too high, or he may sigh that the land is barren, the wind is not good, and the people are suffering, but he will not think of letting the children find the answer by themselves.

But it is undeniable that such an arrangement will allow the children of the royal family to have a broader path, at least allow them to develop their own interests and hobbies, and will not let them all flock to the whirlpool of power when they grow up.

But the main thing is that this is a teaching method that is beneficial and harmless to the prince.

Fang Zhiyuan is the young master of the prince. Naturally, everything must be based on the interests of the prince. Being able to let the prince get in touch with the people's livelihood at a young age will have a significant influence and effect on his future participation in politics. With such a learning experience, as long as the prince's temperament is not too much Almost won't grow crooked.

Then he will be a generation of Ming Jun in the future.

To be able to teach a generation of wise men, how tempting is the other party Zhiyuan?

The pursuit of Wenchen is nothing but a name and a legacy, and as an imperial teacher, his greatest wish is to teach a generation of Mingjun.

Fang Zhiyuan had better take Mu Yangling's suggestion, he said: "As for the other doctors, let the lower officials persuade them."

Mu Yangling gratefully saluted Fang Zhiyuan, and then asked Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong to salute their husband, so he had to take the two children to say goodbye.

Fang Zhiyuan asked when Mu Yangling turned around: "The princess seems to dislike Zhu Xi very much."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "I can't talk about likes or dislikes. If his "Annotations of the Four Books" were not so influential, I might praise him for being sensitive and erudite, but this book is now being regarded as pathological. I can't say that I have a good impression of him, it's not against him personally, but the whole of Cheng Zhu's philosophy, after all, he just wrote a book."
