Chapter 688 Zhu Que Yazhang (6)(2/2)
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Rui immediately followed up with "Your Majesty understands the righteousness", his tone was much more sincere than when he praised Liao Boring just now.
Then he said slowly: "Another matter is related to Wangzhuang. Your Majesty also knows that the Emperor has made an order to clear land for land in Henan, and will soon clear land for each family in Fucheng. Of course, this also includes the Wangzhuang in the palace. It still needs to be done."
The government cooperates. During the previous trial in Linzhang, it was found that many hidden fields and malicious donations were confiscated or returned to the original owners in accordance with the national law. This time, if there are some in the city, they must also comply with the national law. I hereby report to the prince.
.”
Although King Zhao ignores the general affairs, he still knows these things well. There is no way to support the expenses of such a large palace, and only rely on the Wangzhuang on the surface. How can it be possible!
But, one of them understands the principles of justice and the other follows the laws of the country, how can he still say no?!
King Zhao felt that his neck was extremely stiff and he could not nod or shake his head.
The prince took a deep look at Shen Rui and said, "Sir Shen, are you saying that every family in Zhangde Prefecture must have their own father-in-law? Every vassal house in Henan must have their own father-in-law?"
Shen Rui pretended to be surprised and said: "The emperor's edict has been issued for a long time, but the prince has not heard it? The emperor has issued an edict that all prefectures, states and counties in Henan, and every household must have their own father-in-law."
Then he bowed his hand to King Zhao and said, "Your Majesty is also setting an example for the vassals in Henan."
The prince said coldly: "Among the countries in Henan, my father is not the eldest, because he is not the one with the highest seniority. The Zhao family does not dare to follow this example."
To clear the land is to take food from the clan, and it will be difficult for oneself to make money, and there will be arrears from time to time. If the land is taken away, it will really force the clan to rebel!
How could the Zhao family stand on the opposite side of the clan? The prince was secretly angry. Promising to donate food for disaster relief was already a great honor, but if he mentioned the father-in-law again, he would go even further. He really had to speak to the emperor!
Liao Boring's face darkened when he heard this.
It was Liu Jin who originally proposed the idea of clearing Henan, and Liao Boring, as the vanguard of the Liu Party, had been instigating this matter in Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time.
Now that Liu Jin has fallen from power, this policy has not been abandoned. Liao Boring figured out the emperor's intentions and planned to continue to make great achievements in Qingzhang, so as to wash away the imprint of Liu's party and be reused again.
Since the Qing Dynasty has to start with showing virtue, if Zhao Fan gets in the way, it will be even harder for the subsequent princes to implement it.
"Your Majesty, are you prepared to resist the imperial edict and disrespect it?" Facing the roadblock, Liao Boring's eyes were full of coldness and his tone was serious. He really wished that he could immediately turn from resisting the edict to treason and knock Zhao Fan to the ground completely.
"Nonsense...nonsense, nonsense!" The hat was pulled off, and King Zhao became angry and anxious, and even stammered on his lips.
Prince Zhao immediately shouted sternly: "Master Liao, please don't spit on anyone!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense again.
On the other hand, Zhou Xian, who had been silent all this time, tried to smooth things over and said calmly: "Master Liao is also devoted to sharing the worries of the Holy One, and the prince is also loyal to the emperor and loves the people. Both of them have good intentions, but they are a little hasty in talking."
Liao Boring was aware of Zhou Xian's status in the clan and in the eyes of the emperor. At first, he had to forcefully slow down his tone and said, "This official is impatient."
The prince ignored Liao Boring and only said to Zhou Xian, "Cousin Mingjian." Then he glanced at Shen Rui provocatively.
Shen Rui did not even mention his father-in-law. He smiled at the prince and said, "There is one thing that the prince must be able to set an example for. Previously, the emperor issued a decree to promulgate the "Regulations on Duties and Vassals", which included the lifting of the ban on entering official positions.
"
The Crown Prince looked at Shen Rui with a mocking look on his face, "'If there are any generals of the clan and lieutenants who are not willing to be awarded the title, they can suspend the title and take the exam together with the students...'"
This ban on entering the officialdom is also for those with low-level titles. He is the eldest son and has been granted the title of Crown Prince. He is the natural next King of Zhao. What does becoming an official have to do with him? What an example he should set!
But I heard Shen Rui say: "If the children of the clan want to take the imperial examination and become an official, they must also study hard and study hard. With the talent and learning of the prince, it is easy to become a Jinshi. Therefore, if you want to establish this school well, the chief of the mountain must be the prince. I want to come here. There are also knowledgeable disciples in the government who are willing to give it a try, but I’m afraid they all will come to ask for the prince’s advice.”
After all, the prince is a young man, and he is a young man who is quite confident in his talents and learning. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel proud and a little moved.
He also felt that he was bound to go to high school for the scientific examination, but it was a pity that he was not allowed to end up because of his status. However, if he could teach a few Jinshi students, wouldn't it show his knowledge even more!
Although he thought so, his face was still calm and he said reservedly: "Shen Chuanxu is so complimentary."
Shen Rui said again: "There is another issue when the Zongxue is to be established. Forgive me for speaking frankly. Although there are talents in each government, it is inevitable that there will be dead branches on the trees. There are arrogant, extravagant, sinful and cruel people like Zhu Youming. These people need Zongxue envoys even more." He is courteous and knows the laws. Therefore, in addition to hiring famous teachers, religious studies also need to invite "strict teachers" to be effective.
"Although each government has established its own sect, I am afraid that there are still many shortcomings. The lower officials secretly thought that they should set up a position to take charge of the overall situation. They should be posted in the ancestral government and sit in Henan to communicate with the vassal government and the imperial court. This position has a long way to go. , not only talent and learning are needed, but talent is also needed, and no one other than the prince, who has both ability and moral integrity and a sense of responsibility, can do it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shen Rui in surprise. No one expected that he could make such a move.
The regulations of the sect and vassalage require all the children of the clan to enter the sect. Those who fail to pass the examination and graduate will not have titles and luxuries.
If there is another "general manager" position above the sects of each government, specifically responsible for "communicating" between the vassal government and the imperial court, the power can be imagined.
Even if he is as honest as King Zhao, he will still be moved.
He cleared his throat to remind his son, but when he saw that his son had no idea what he was thinking and lowered his head without saying a word, he had no choice but to speak out: "If the sect can be established and established firmly, and there will be more talented people in the future, it will not be accepted." Being an official can benefit the place and is also beneficial to the country and the people."
After a pause, he added: "I would like to allocate hundreds of acres of land in Wangzhuang to support religious education."
Shen Rui praised and praised again and again, and then gave advice: "I heard that King Xing of Huguang had previously funded the construction of an academy. In the past few months, he has also established a religious school. He also used "scholarships" to encourage the children of the clan to study and improve according to some folk ethnographic practices. In Shandong, Prince Heng also allocated money and fields to support medical clinics such as Qingzhou Prefecture's Jishi Hall. Various good ideas were submitted to the court and received great praise from the emperor. Your Majesty, you may also refer to them."
King Zhao nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and immediately said: "Great kindness! The Zhao family's sect should also be like this."
Prince Xing and Heng both clearly stated their support for the vassal regulations. King Zhao was previously a wait-and-see faction, but now that Zhu Youming has caused such a disaster, it is better... to express his support for the vassal regulations through Jianzongxue.
It's easy to write a letter bragging about how good your family's religious education is, but his son is a wonderful writer!
King Zhao glanced at his son and said, "You should remember all of these. Once you have established the sect, you will do it one by one."
The prince seemed to have figured out something. He raised his head and responded to his father. Then he solemnly bowed his hand to Shen Rui as a gift and said seriously: "Thanks to Mr. Shen for your love, Hou Yu is willing to give it a try."
When King Zhao heard this, he immediately felt relieved and nodded desperately with a smile on his face.
Shen Rui also nodded slightly and returned the courtesy with a few polite words. It was said that the prince was being too modest. He was still very optimistic about this young man.
"I have also heard about Sir Shen's construction of academies and hospitals in Guangdong, Shandong. I wonder if your Excellency will also build more academies and hospitals when he comes to Henan?" the prince suddenly asked.
He added, "Although the family background of Zhao Mansion is not as good as that of Xing Mansion and Heng Mansion is richer, it is still willing to do its part for the local government and the court. In addition to religious studies, Zhao Mansion is willing to allocate more Wangzhuang acres like those of the Second Mansion.
Support the academy and hospital.”
The young man's eyes were clear and bright, especially when he talked about the academy, his eyes were filled with brilliance.
Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, then turned to smile and said: "The prince is very benevolent and righteous. To be honest with the prince and the prince, I do have plans to build an academy, but it may be somewhat different from what the prince wants."
"There are many rivers in Zhangde Prefecture and even Henan. In recent years, the weather has been bad, so we should make good use of the benefits of the rivers. The lower official has invited the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, Li Yi, and Li Shangshu to come out. He also wants to build several water conservancy engineering colleges.
Specializing in water control, canal construction and irrigation to facilitate farming...I wonder if the prince is interested in this..."
Prince Zhao listened quietly, thought for a moment, and raised his eyebrows, "I would like to hear the details."
A sincere smile broke out on Shen Rui's face.
If someone wants to be an "educator" clan, it is ten thousand times better than wanting to be a "mountain king" clan, and he will be very happy to promote it.
