Song Gexing

Chapter 297 Be Educated
Zhao Pan'er seemed not to have seen his gaze, and continued with a smile: "There is no right or wrong in this matter. Officials are the emperor, and they can only look at things from a ruling standpoint. As for whether the scholar-bureaucrats are superior, I think so. Yes, because the people will consciously be influenced by the words of the scholar-bureaucrats. Blind obedience to human nature cannot be solved by reading many books, but only after the family has accumulated over many generations can they have their own opinions. There are very few people who have opinions among the common people, but among the scholar-bureaucrats there are only a few. too much."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Fang and asked with a half-smile, "Isn't it because the government set up newspapers back then to guide public opinion and let the ignorant common people be swayed by your views?"

Zhao Fang was stunned and realized that he was very contradictory. On the one hand, he was consciously guiding the people, but on the other hand, he advocated the idea of ​​equality for everyone. This was completely contradictory.

If everyone is equal, then there will be no one who guides whom. Only when you treat others as stupid pigs will you think that you can guide others' thoughts.

He wanted to refute Zhao Pan'er, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not refute because the experience of later generations could not help him refute.

People are like pigs and dogs, and it is indeed easy to be guided by public opinion. The vast majority of people do not have their own opinions. Even in a society that has eradicated illiteracy in later generations, it is still influenced by the Internet.

Otherwise, why do those celebrities like to create a persona? It’s not because their fans are almost all pigs, and their disguises can’t be discovered at all.

Only after the scandal was exposed did some people wake up, but there are still many people who are still defending them even after it was exposed.

Those are people who have read books, how are they different from those who are uneducated? It can be seen that whether they read books or not has nothing to do with wisdom.

Wisdom is the ability of human beings to surpass the animal world. Once humans lose their intelligence, they will be no different from pigs and dogs.

Zhao Pan'er couldn't refute her when she saw him opening his mouth. She smiled sweetly and continued: "To preserve the dignity of scholar-bureaucrats is to allow these classes who can guide the people to retain their conscience and morality. Only in this way can they prevent them from leading the people to do bad things without a bottom line. Since ancient times, monarchs This is exactly the purpose of raising scholars.”

Zhao Fang let out a long sigh and had to admit that he underestimated the ancients. Today, Zhao Pan'er's education made him see that his own wisdom could not beat the ancients. They just had not experienced the kind of information from later generations. This allowed him to have I had the illusion that I was great since I was a child.

"Okay, you're right."

Zhao Fang could only admit his mistake and stop being angry, but he was too embarrassed today. He didn't want to be intimate with Zhao Pan'er anymore, so he turned around and put his arms around the waist of a beautiful woman to talk to her.

But when he raised his head, he realized that the person he was hugging was Xiao Guduo's wet nurse, Hai MiMi. He was so stunned that he forgot to let go.

"Why are you here?"

Hai Miao belongs to the same Xiao family, but the bloodline is far away, and the side family background is in decline. Being a wet nurse for the main eldest son is also a way out.

Seeing him dumbfounded, Xiao Momo chuckled and said, "Ji Zong is now older. He no longer needs a wet nurse to study and practice martial arts with his brothers. Hai Miao has been here for several years. The official family didn't pay attention to it."

Only then did Zhao Fang remember that he was still hugging her, and quickly let go, smiling awkwardly and not knowing what to say.

Xiao Guanyin glanced at him and said: "Hai Shenming is still young. If the official family likes him, then he will do it. If he has a reputation, he can continue to stay here."

"This this……"

Zhao Fang was too embarrassed to agree, so Brother Xiao Ling rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why, the officials dislike the parents for not being good-looking? Or is it because they are not clean?"

At this time, Zhao Fang couldn't stop talking, and quickly shook his head in denial: "No way! Am I such a superficial person? Besides, Hai Miao is very beautiful, so it's not ugly."

"Oh, that means I agree, then let her sleep with me tonight."

Xiao Lingge immediately slapped the snake on the stick. Zhao Fang agreed, but refused, so he had to acquiesce.

The strange thing is that none of the concubines present objected, and all of them smiled as they watched the Xiao sisters trying to squeeze Zhao Fang.After all the drama that night, Zhao Fang realized that Xiao Guanyin had already discussed with the concubines to leave the sea behind.

As for why Xiao Guanyin did this, it is actually easy to understand. Zhao Jizong, also known as Xiao Guduo, is Xiao Guanyin's nephew.

He grew up among a group of princes. Although he was looked after by her biological aunt, he was a Khitan after all, and Xiao Guanyin had to manage the harem, so she didn't have time to pay attention to him often.

Xiao Momo and Brother Xiao Ling both have their own children, and they are far apart from Xiao Asu, so it is impossible for them to take good care of Zhao Jizong.

Hai Miao was different. He had raised Zhao Jizong since he was a child, so his feelings were naturally different. In ancient times, the wet nurses of many wealthy families were just like their own mothers.

The reason for this is not only the nurturing, but also because the more noble the family, the less the mother cares about the children. The mistress has to take care of the house and is also busy fighting with the concubines.

Therefore, the upbringing of children is under the care of wet nurses, and this continues after weaning, and usually does not stop until marriage.

Before getting married, even when they grow up, the maids, maids, bookboys and servants in the young master and lady's house are still under the control of the wet nurse.

This has caused many young masters and ladies to get closer to the wet nurses. Except that they are not related by blood, the relationship between mother and child is no less than that of their own.

Hai Miao and Zhao Jizong are even far away from home. This kind of life under the shelter of others will only increase the closer mother-child relationship between them.

Therefore, it would be good for Zhao Jizong to let Hai Miyu become Zhao Fang's woman. This was the reason why Xiao Guanyin facilitated this matter.

But in this way, there will be one more Khitan woman in Zhao Fang's harem, and there will be more mixed-blood offspring. Xiao Fengyi's son is already three years old, and there is another child in the belly. In the future, there will be more mixed blood.

"You are so charming, let's call you Xiao Mei from now on."

Zhao Fang, who was very satisfied, stroked Hai MiSi's smooth back. Hai MiSiNian naturally did not dare to object, but he just coquettishly refused to obey, and how could he be charming like a coquettish person?

Zhao Fang laughed happily and whispered private words in his ear, which caused a wave of shy red waves. For a moment, the spring scenery was bright and the gurgling sound of running water could not be heard.

Three months later, the Liao Kingdom announced that Yelu Hongji had passed away. Zhao Fang quickly sent envoys to express condolences northward, and asked people to contact Yelu Hongben secretly, asking him to be more careful to prevent a coup.

This was not because of his fake good intentions, but because Yeluhong was going to Zhongjing Mansion to attend the funeral. If he was taken over by someone at this time, it was still unclear whether Nanjing Mansion would be able to get it.

"Order! The Hebei frontier army is tight on the outside and tight on the inside. Keep an eye on the movements of the Liao border army. If there is any sign of mobilization, report it to the personnel stationed in the Imperial City Department immediately."

"Order! The White Tatar Division will pay attention to the movements of the Liao Army in the west of the grassland, and report any signs of mobilization immediately!"

……

Zhao Fang issued four orders in a row, all of which were to keep an eye on the interior of the Liao Kingdom, but they could not make the Liao Kingdom feel threatened, so the degree of certainty in this must be considered.

He is not worried about the Song Dynasty's border troops. He is worried about whether the grassland tribes can do it. Therefore, it is necessary to send people there. The talents cultivated over the years will come in handy.
