The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1071
[Chapter 1071 This is not fair]
Emperor Chu and Concubine Shu were silent when they heard this.
Especially Concubine Shu, who just managed a smile and looked very embarrassed.
Zhao Hao continued: “Therefore, the academies that can be seen everywhere in Kyoto Prefecture today seem to be very easy to build, but in fact, they are extremely difficult.
Especially to meet these two points, Erchen After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that only a person with high moral character like Master and who doesn’t care about money can do it.
Of course, besides Master, there is another person who can do it.”
At this point, he stopped abruptly and did not continue.
When Concubine Shu heard this, she was a little curious. She looked at Hao’er and saw that he was silent, so she took the initiative to ask: “There is another person? Who is it?”
Zhao Hao raised his eyes and glanced at his father, and then again He lowered his head and said, “My son, I dare not say anything.”
When Concubine Shu heard this, she became even more curious.
Apart from His Majesty, the person Hao’er respects the most is his master. Now when he talks about his master, he doesn’t dare to talk about it now.
Concubine Shu shook her head and said: “A man must stand upright. You are a prince, and you will be a prince in the future.”
After a pause, she said, “In the future, you will be a prince, and you must shoulder responsibilities. What’s the matter? If you dare not say anything, your father is here to support you. What is there that you dare not say?”
When Zhao Hao heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked up at his mother-in-law and said loudly: “Mother-in-law, this is what you want. You asked me to say it, but I really said it.”
“What are you talking about?” Concubine Shu said angrily,
“Yes, concubine!” Zhao Hao nodded solemnly and looked at her. She turned to her father and said, “The second person in the world who can do this is my father!”
When Concubine Shu heard this, the expression on her face froze and she was dumbfounded.
yes!
Fang Xiu is the Duke of Anguo and is now a powerful official in the imperial court. Even His Majesty has nothing to do with him.
If there is anyone else in the world who can do what he can do, it would be His Majesty.
Why didn’t I even think of such a simple truth?
Concubine Shu twisted her face together, and for a moment she didn’t know what to say.
Emperor Chu also remained silent and did not speak.
Zhao Hao talked eloquently: “The first point is to be willing to do it. My father is the emperor. Needless to say, my father should do everything in the world. The second point is money. This is If there is one person in the world who can spend the most money, it is only the father.
I know that the Ministry of Rites spends a lot of money on encouraging students every year. If the father can spend this part of the money, It was used to establish the academy, and now the academy has been built long ago.”
When Emperor Chu heard this, he smiled reluctantly, but he had no way to refute.
In fact, it’s not that he hasn’t thought about it, it’s just that he doesn’t have the conditions to implement it.
Now that Fang Xiu is able to establish an academy, it is because someone can spare time to study.
In the past, sweet potatoes had not been discovered and grain production had not been improved.
There are not enough people to farm, and there is not enough food to eat. If everyone goes to study, who will farm?
It’s really not easy for Hao’er to be able to think of so much at this age.
But precisely because of his age, many things he saw were still limited, because he could only see what happened in this year, or even half a year, but he had no idea what happened before.
It is true that children from poor families also have the right to pursue their dreams, but if everyone pursues their dreams, or in other words, everyone goes to school, who will plant the land?
Especially in the past, when there were no sweet potatoes and the yield of grain was not high, people would starve to death if they didn’t plant the land. What was the use of studying?
Can reading fill your stomach?
Although Emperor Chu thought so in his heart, he did not argue.
The reason is very simple. If you really argue, it is equivalent to really arguing with a child.
Nowadays, I just listen to a child talking about his own opinions, nothing more.
So, he said: “My father didn’t establish an academy. Of course he had his own reasons. You are still young, you will know when you grow up.”
After hearing this, Zhao Hao curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: ” Master said, only useless people will use their age to suppress others. The reason is very simple, because when they get older, they have nothing to offer anymore.” Although
the voice was small, but in this room, I can still hear clearly.
When Concubine Shu heard this, the expression on her face changed and she scolded: “Hao’er, what are you talking about! Hurry up and apologize to your father!”
But Emperor Chu waved his hand and said: “Hao’er is right. , why should I apologize?”
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Hao, his expression became extremely serious, and said: “What your master said is right, only useless people will use their identities to do it. Suppress others, but sometimes identity or status is also a weapon, and you must know how to use it.
Of course, you are right this time. My father was wrong. The reason why my father did not establish the academy was because of food problems.
If everyone went to study, there would be no one to grow this food.
Now that there are sweet potatoes, the production of food has also been increased, so some people have been freed up to study. Therefore, the establishment of academies in the past did more harm than good to the court and the people.
Nowadays, the people can have enough to eat, and establishing academies for them to study is more beneficial than harmful. Do you understand? “
When Concubine Shu heard this, her expression on her face did not change at all, but there was a wave of panic in her heart.
If she heard it right just now, your Majesty called Fang Xiu your master.
So said Come on, doesn’t it mean that His Majesty recognizes Fang Xiu as Hao’er’s master?
If so, what position should be given to Fang Xiu, Prince Shaobao or Prince Shaofu?
It seems inappropriate, after all, Fang Xiu himself is An Guo? Sir, is that the Crown Prince
and Tutor? If so, wouldn’t it be a good idea to give Fang Xiu a first-class status?
Concubine Shu’s eyes darkened,
but Zhao Hao’s thoughts changed.
After thinking so much, he just nodded heavily and said: “Father is right, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
When Emperor Chu heard this, he looked up at him and asked, “Why are you uncomfortable? Is it because of your classmates?
“
“
Zhao Hao nodded and told the truth: “Yes, just now my father said that if there is not enough food, they will have no choice but to farm. But I can be sure that they are better at studying than farming. But some people are better at farming than studying. They have the opportunity to study, but my classmates can’t
think of it. This is unfair. ”
