Be a master through ancient times

However, even if Mr. Zhou fainted, it would not help, because it was impossible for Emperor Tianhe to let the Japanese run amok.The only thing he can do is to try to raise money.

In order to raise military expenses, Zhou Zonghai didn't care too much. He directly told the newspaper that he wanted to advertise in the court.

Today happened to be a great dynasty, and Zhou Zonghai's words were immediately opposed by many people, some said "insulting the gentleness", some said "competing with the people for profit". Criticize Zhou Zonghai's ideas.

Hearing the sarcasm and opposition from all directions, Zhou Zonghai couldn't help being bitter. There was an opportunity to make money in front of him, but these people refused to agree to it for the sake of face. It was really helpless!These people don't feel pain in their backs when they stand and talk, anyway, they just blame the Ministry of Households if they don't have money, no matter how difficult it is for others to raise money!

There were more and more voices of opposition, and Zhou Zonghai secretly wrote down the loudest voices of opposition in his heart. If the people in their yamen came to the Ministry of Households to report accounts in the future, it would not be that simple!

When the voice gradually died down, Zhou Zonghai stood up and said: "Now that the enemy is at hand, the imperial court needs to mobilize troops and horses to rescue them. As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The tens of thousands of people need a lot of money. However, Years of disasters have continued and the national treasury is empty. If you still insist on your own opinions, then I would like to ask you, where should the military expenditure come from?"

Immediately someone retorted: "It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Households to raise military expenses. Mr. Zhou can't think of a way, so why ask us instead?"

"Zhou's method is there, but everyone disagrees. I heard everyone's concerns just now, but some people have already done this in advertising in newspapers. Why didn't I hear that he was notorious among the people? On the contrary The government and businesses have benefited, and the students have benefited, this is clearly a matter of mutual benefit, why does it become so ugly in everyone's mouth?" Zhou Zonghai, as the head of the household department, is not the kind to be bullied.

"You're talking about the champion Lang Chuci? He has always acted perversely, regardless of whether he doesn't care. Is it possible that Mr. Zhou still wants to learn from him?" The speaker sneered at Chu Ci. People who like to stand out in everything like this are not from above. Just one sentence and they will be obedient?

"The sage said, if three of us walk together, there must be my teacher. If it is good, why not learn from him? If there is no one who innovates, wouldn't this world be boring?" Mrs. Wen said leisurely. Even those who disapprove of the lofty status in the middle school did not speak out to refute it.

Zhou Zonghai smiled gratefully at Taifu Wen, and then said: "Master Taifu is very true. I just suddenly remembered something. I still remember that more than ten years ago, the Great Wei was also plagued by disasters. At that time, the late emperor issued an order All merchants who are willing to donate silver taels to help the victims can get a place in the imperial examination. If it is degrading to place an advertisement in the newspaper, how should these merchants explain the redemption of the places in the imperial examination?"

This question made those adults who opposed it speechless. They were not without objections when the late emperor did things like this before.But the first emperor was a bachelor. He said: "Since everyone disagrees with this method, the relief money should come from your homes."

When their own interests were involved, these people stopped making a sound, and could only watch one after another merchants send in silver and supplies, and then happily ran home with freshly baked quota flowers.

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Tianhe Emperor came out to smooth things over.He agreed to the request for advertising, but he also declared that he was not allowed to use it for profit. After the crisis was resolved, no advertisements could be published in the newspaper again.

Master Zhou was very happy, and immediately wanted to go back and send out invitations for those who are not short of money to come over...

Chuci didn't know anything about the turmoil in the capital. He only heard about the recent martial law in the coastal defense. The government also posted a notice stating that all merchant ships were suspended from going to sea for business, and all fishermen were not allowed to cross the coastal defense line when fishing.

This notice has no effect on the Department of Education, and he is now planning to compile new textbooks.It is now December, and there are still three months before the start of the new school year. Chuci wants to complete the selection, compilation, review and printing of materials within three months, so that freshmen can use the new textbooks as soon as the school starts.

This idea has always been in his heart, but the time was not ripe before, so he didn't reveal it.Now that everything in Zhangzhou Mansion is on the right track, coupled with Zhangzhou Mansion's outstanding results in the rural examination this year, he took advantage of the opportunity to bring this matter up.

Now Zhangzhou Mansion Tixue Division is convinced of Chu Ci, since he came, Zhangzhou Mansion can be said to have changed to a new world.Now no matter what he wants to do, they all support it, and there is no voice of opposition.

It's just that this time, after all, the matter is of great importance. Although they trust Chu Ci very much, they still hesitate in their hearts.Looking at their expressions, Chu Ci knew in his heart that this matter was somewhat difficult.

To put it bluntly, it is innovation, but to put it bluntly, it is to tamper with the book of sages. In the eyes of some moralists, this is a heinous thing.

"You can speak freely if you have any opinions, and Chu will not object to the opinions that everyone agrees with." After all, these people have to be in charge of the writing team. If they disagree, Chu Ci will not be stubborn.

"Lord Chu, aren't... those books good? Why do you have to rewrite some textbooks?" An old man stood up. His surname was Nian. He had been working in Zhangzhou Prefecture since he became an official. As he grew older, he came to the Department of Education to do some work on sorting out books. He usually doesn't look like a mountain, but this old man still has some influence. When he speaks now, everyone unconsciously Calm down, wanting to see how Chu Ci will reply him.

"Master Nian, there are several reasons why Chu wants to rewrite the textbook. One is to discard the chaff and save the essence. I think everyone knows that although the books compiled by the ancients are good, there are some dross in them. Children still can't tell right from wrong. Letting them learn this kind of thing is harmful and useless. It's better to delete it. Moreover, it's out of date. The books of the ancients are naturally aimed at the people of their time. We now have the same relationship with the ancients regardless of the law, reason and human relationship. There is a big difference, if students learn some things in it, but they are nondescript, what's the point?"

"Third, at present, in addition to "Three Hundred Thousands", there are more than ten books such as "Disciple Regulations", "Zengguang Xianwen", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Fisherman's Rhyme", etc. Most of them are The content overlaps, if they are not integrated in one place, it will be more convenient for students to learn and the memory will be more profound."

Chu Ci's eloquence is unmatched, even if he just felt a little inappropriate when he heard what he said, he felt that it was indeed quite reasonable.

Chu Ci saw that everyone's attitude had softened, so he dropped the most convincing reason: "Don't you all want to leave your name in the history books?"

Everyone's attention was immediately focused on Chu Ci. It can be seen that most literati cannot escape the shackles of fame.Since ancient times, politicians have fought for power, and businessmen have been chasing profit. For literati like them, money and power are good, but they are not what they want most. They prefer to leave a name in history rather than power.That's why, the people at Yushitai always threatened the emperor with the stakes.
