After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 105 Teachers and Students
Lu Yanchen continued: "During the Longde period, there was a school of theory in the court, led by the great scholar Zhong Qingsheng at that time, known as the Zhong School. The idea of ​​the Zhong School's theory is that the people can let them know, but they can't make them know. They think The concept of 'a woman without talent is a virtue' is also applicable to ordinary people, so there was a storm of banning literary schools at that time, thinking that liberal arts schools that open enrollment to ordinary people are a hidden danger to the country."

Ye Qinghuai asked: "Is it right for them to think that the people should be kept ignorant?"

Lu Yanchen nodded and emphasized: "Ordinary people."

"For example, the shopkeeper of the pastry shop just now, in Zhong Pai's view, he only needs to master the skills of making dim sum. He doesn't need to memorize epic poems or understand nine-chapter arithmetic to allow him to survive. Go on. For the ruling class, the more the common people read, the more knowledge they acquire, which will only make the common people see things they shouldn’t see and cause unnecessary thinking. And these thinking will bring about unrest Changes. In Zhong Pai's view, this kind of change is a crisis for the court."

Ye Qinghuai thought about the concept Lu Yanchen said carefully. Although she had never had such an idea, she had to say that after thinking about it, this theory has its truth.

"What do you think, sir? Do you think the Zhong School theory is advisable?"

"My lord, have you heard the story about Layman Le Tian and his wife Liang Jinghong?" Lu Yanchen asked back.

Ye Qinghuai nodded: "They are a pair of beauties who raise their eyebrows. Letian Layman was an official to the prime minister, and left many poems. He is a great talent who has been famous for thousands of years. His wife Liang Jinghong is also one of the few female poets in history. Be the first of the four talented women."

"Liang Jinghong wrote "Jinghong Collection", but few people know that this collection of poems was not compiled by Liang Jinghong, but was edited by Le Tian Layman, and it was printed into a book by him. He even wrote He has written many poems to praise his wife's talent. In his eyes, there has never been such a thing as "a woman without talent is a virtue." Lu Yanchen paused and said, "This is because he himself is a talented man. As a poet, he doesn't worry that his wife's talent and learning will overshadow his limelight, but he hopes that she also understands poetry and books and can communicate with him."

"My lord, imagine if the person Liang Jinghong marries is illiterate, living a daily life of necessities, and not understanding what poems she recites. At that time, her talent would be a sin." Lu Yanchen He stopped, looked at Ye Qinghuai, and said, "The way of the monarch and the people is the same."

"People read a lot, so they will know how to be polite, but they will also put forward their own views on the government. At best, it is the contention of a hundred schools of thought, which can promote the development of all walks of life. At worst, talking about the government is despising the power of God and will shake The stability of the imperial power. Whether it is good or bad, does not depend on the people, but on the monarch. If the monarch is well-informed, enlightened and tenacious, he will be able to restrain the world's students and bring forth new ideas from all schools of thought. There is no harm. But If the monarch is weak and incompetent, he will not only be unable to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of these miscellaneous theories, and will not be able to make the correct choice, what's more, he will be suspicious of his capable ministers, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses."

Having said that, his views on the Zhong School theory are self-evident.

"I don't think that today's sage needs to be afraid of his subjects, let alone adopt the method of the Zhong School to govern the people." Lu Yanchen looked at Ye Qinghuai, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, " Because with the knowledge, courage and broad-mindedness of today's Holy One, there is no need to be afraid of anyone."

Under his high praise, Ye Qinghuai almost subconsciously wanted to evade.

But Lu Yanchen stopped, interrupted her, and said with bright eyes: "My student, I know best."

His expression was so determined that it was difficult for Ye Qinghuai to refute, but he was also a little ashamed.

Then, Lu Yanchen looked away from Ye Qinghuai, looked at the street behind him, and said, "My lord, we are here."

Ye Qinghuai followed his gaze, and at the corner of the intersection, there was a door with a shiny plaque inlaid with gold, with four large square characters hanging on it——

Huisheng pawn.

Ye Qinghuai and Lu Yanchen looked at each other, and they walked in one after the other.

The hall of the pawn shop is not big, and there are no customers at this time.Only behind the tall counter sat a tall, lanky guy who looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a goatee that was not too thick.He was carefully looking at a piece of emerald jade that had just been brought in, when he heard a visitor, he immediately put the piece of jade into the drawer, and looked towards the door with a straight expression.

The moment he saw Lu Yanchen, his expression suddenly relaxed again.

Lu Yanchen obviously knew him too, he walked to the cabinet and said, "Old Fang, leave a note and make an appointment to meet Yingtou."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Qinghuai, and said, "Master, a token."

Ye Qinghuai stepped forward, took out the gold medal from her waist, and put it on the counter.

The shopkeeper named Lao Fang quickly looked Ye Qinghuai up and down, then took the gold medal and looked back and forth.

After checking, he pushed the gold medal back in front of Ye Qinghuai, and said to Lu Yanchen: "You just happened to come here, he is here today, you can go in and find him yourself."

After speaking, he glanced at the inconspicuous wooden door at the back of the hall.

Lu Yanchen thanked him, Ye Qinghuai also bowed, and followed Lu Yanchen to the backyard.

Lao Fang's eyes followed Ye Qinghuai all the way, until her figure disappeared behind the door, then he stroked his beard thoughtfully, took out the piece of emerald jade from the drawer, and concentrated on studying it.

The backyard of this pawn shop is not big, but the small building in the backyard is rarely four stories high.The two-foot-square yard is surrounded by four-story buildings, and it looks a bit cramped. Standing in it feels like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

The layout of the backyard is also a bit weird.The first floor of the main house has only three walls, and the side facing the yard is completely open. At a glance, you can see the eight thick wooden columns and the rafters on the top of the house on the first floor.The interior of the room is similar to that of ordinary people's main hall. On the table, there is a god of wealth, and on the top is a plaque inscribed with four characters "Wuhua Tianbao". chair.

What is unusual is that at this moment, a square groove is opened on the ground in front of the Four Immortals' Table, and a calf-high wooden bracket protrudes from the ground, looking like a miniature water wheel from a distance.A man in a gray robe, with his trouser legs tied high, stepped on a pair of straw sandals and turned his back to the yard. He was squatting in front of the cabinet with a tool whose name he didn't know, tinkering and tinkering.

Hearing someone walking into the yard, he said without looking back, "It's rare to see you bring someone new here, Xiao Lu."

After speaking, he stopped what he was doing, stood up and patted the ashes on his hands.He was about the same height as Ye Qinghuai, but his figure was quite different from the thin Ye Qinghuai.He was born with broad shoulders, narrow waist, thin and strong, with straight blue veins faintly visible on the exposed arms and calves, and he looked like a martial arts practitioner.

The man who was called "Eagle Head" by Lu Yanchen turned around, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth at Lu Yanchen, and then looked at Ye Qinghuai with a pair of black eyes.

Ye Qinghuai was struck by five thunders, she subconsciously blurted out: "Tao Erlong?!"
