Chapter 100 The war is about to start, the censor finds fault

Lu Feng told Wu Zetian: "Establishing education is a great cause that will benefit the present and will benefit the future. It needs to be spent at a huge price. It is not a problem that can be solved by spending money."

"There must be at least 10 public teachers. Compiling teaching materials, building teaching buildings, and even getting children to go to school is a big problem."

"There are many poor families whose children are laborers when they are in their teens. They won't let their children go to school. We have to let the husband know the benefits and tell them the importance of learning so that the children can go to school."

Wu Zetian was surprised and said, "What, you have to ask Mr. to invite you?"

These days, those who can be teachers are all old Confucian students with high morals and high prestige. Many people can’t hire them with money, and it’s not easy to come out to teach. It’s impossible for them to go to the students’ homes to invite them in person.

Moreover, there is a practical problem, it is very easy to raise children these days.

A half-grown child of a few years old is considered a labor force, and can help the family share the pressure. Clothes that cannot be worn by the older siblings can be thrown to the younger siblings. There is no big expense, unlike the 21st century.

Ordinary people are used to using their children as labor force. If they want to reverse the old concept and let them give their children several years or even ten years to study, they will suffer a lot.

They will feel that literacy is useless for a farmer.

Lu Feng also felt a little bit emotional: "Yes, so this is a labor-intensive job, but as long as you complete it, you will get unimaginable rewards."

Wu Zetian hesitated and said: "This project is too big, so we must be careful. Besides, literacy is not easy. Not all children can learn it. Some fools with poor qualifications are useless no matter how they teach them."

Lu Feng patted his forehead: "Your Majesty is right, how about this, I will give you a set of simplified characters and the pinyin pronunciation of the characters, so that literacy will be much easier to learn. It's just that people who are not born mentally retarded can learn it .”

As soon as Lu Feng raised his hand, a Xinhua dictionary appeared in his hand.

Everyone didn't find it strange to change a book with one hand. They had more or less practiced it, and they could do it themselves.

The problem is that they have never seen this book before. Wei Zheng squeezed over, grabbed the dictionary, opened it, and exclaimed: "God book, god book! Every word has detailed annotations, and there are divisions of radicals. The reading method is pinyin, and the writing has become more concise and easy to learn. With this book, it is much easier to spread the writing. Boss Lu is really a god!"

"This book should be compared with Ruyi Immortal Venerable's "Words" and "Sheng Sheng"."

Wu Zetian reminded: "It is not allowed to compare with saints."

Wei Zhengdao: "I'm talking about the symbolic meaning. The sage Ruyi Xianzun allows us to practice Taoism, but so many poor people are illiterate, how can they practice Taoism? If we can popularize education and add training courses, we, the people of Wuzhou, will That’s true that everyone is like a dragon. My Wuzhou Empire can also be prosperous and strong, just like when it was founded, attracting all nations to come to court.”

Wu Zetian sneered and said, "I let you say all the good things, but let me do all the hard work."

Wei Zheng said: "If His Majesty allows, I will do the labor-intensive things. As long as Your Majesty is willing to pay for support, Wei Zheng will definitely help His Majesty do a good job in education."

Wu Zetian was surprised again, when Wei Zheng was at the top of the court, he said that he would rather be bumped to death than work for himself.

An indescribable sense of accomplishment welled up in Wu Zetian's heart, and Wei Zheng was willing to use it for himself. In Wu Zhou Kingdom, who else can shake my position?
Wu Zetian smiled and said: "Well, good, good, I can get Wei Aiqing's service, I am Zhou Gong who got Lu Wang, and Gaozu got Zhang Liang. Together, we will be able to create a brilliant and prosperous world."

Wei Zheng reminded: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng is only working hard on education for you. There are power disputes in the court and intrigues. Wei Zheng doesn't care about it."

Di Renjie spoke out at the right time: "Your Majesty, although Di Renjie has passed his 20th birthday, after eating Master Lu's meal today, he feels [-] years younger again, and he can still share his majesty's worries."

Wu Zetian nodded: "Well, I know Di Aiqing's strong patriotism. Reinstate Di Renjie as prime minister, help me deal with state affairs, and support Wei Gong's education. You can take up the post tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In the early court of the next day, Wu Zetian announced the use of virtuous ministers Di Renjie, Wei Zheng, famous generals Liu Rengui, Hei Chi Changzhi and so on.

At the same time, in order to appease the hearts of virtuous ministers and good generals, Lai Junchen and other cruel officials were executed.

He also ordered generals such as Liu Rengui and Hei Chi Chang Zhi to send troops against Khitan.

As for the matter of education, since the war was imminent, Wu Zetian could not be distracted. Wei Zheng also understood that, first, he began to join forces with the scholars to discuss the preparation of comprehensive education and the compilation of teaching materials, so as to prepare for the future large-scale education.

Just after coming down to court, Liu Rengui and Hei Chi Changzhi found Wei Zheng and Di Renjie, with expressions of gratitude:

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, Mr. Di, for clearing up our grievances, and still having the opportunity to fight against Khitan and show our country's prestige."

Wei Zheng said: "Liu Rengui, you don't have to thank me, I'm dedicated to serving the public."

Liu Rengui said: "That's natural, but if there is no Wei Gong, I don't know how long it will take to get out of prison. I can't repay this situation. Please Wei Gong accept my worship."

"Hey, I can't thank you."

Wei Zheng quickly helped him up.

"Wei Gong, you are too out of touch."

"It's not that you are out of sight, Liu Rengui, black-toothed Changzhi, it's actually thanks to Master Lu that you were released. If it weren't for his cooking, His Majesty would have been ten years younger and in a good mood, so he wouldn't be so easy to talk about."

Liu Rengui didn't believe it at all: "Master Lu, how could such a thing happen? Your Majesty will let off the guilty minister just because of a cook's words? Impossible, impossible, Duke Wei is too modest."

"Today, Duke Wei must be worshiped by me, otherwise Liu Rengui's conscience will not pass."

Wei Zheng said: "Don't beg me, don't beg me, I'm a deputy fourth-rank official in charge of education now, and you are a third-rank general, you can't mess up your rank."

"In Liu Rengui's mind, Wei Gong is not something that can be measured by his official position."

This one wanted to worship, and the other was determined not to accept it, so they became entangled in the square. At this time, a group of censors passed by here. Dislike.

One of the censors said in an indifferent way: "Wei Gong, let Liu Rengui worship if he wants to. After all, he will go to war soon, and it will be impossible to worship in the future."

Wei Zheng didn't like these peacemakers either: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Isn't that obvious? In the battle of Khitan, His Majesty sent 40 troops and a thousand generals to fight against it. In the end, he was defeated and almost overthrown. In the end, he sent the princess and the pro-empire to slow it down."

"Now the Khitan has not sent troops to attack our Great Zhou, but Wei Gong and Di Xiang have begun to encourage His Majesty to send troops to attack Khitan. They said that they are defending against the enemy outside the country, taking the initiative, and Khitan will be caught off guard."

"I see that it's Duke Wei that you have bad intentions. You have raised an unknown teacher and started disputes in vain. Don't you know that the country is so big that warlike ones will surely perish!"

"At the beginning, the army of 40, and the generals with thousands of members were all defeated. How can a mere [-] soldiers be able to withstand the Khitan Kingdom, which has developed for many years and is even more powerful. What's more, they still have one who can split the mountains and cut off The unparalleled fierce general of Jianghe. You will lose this battle, and you Wei Zheng will also be a sinner of the empire!"

"Hmph, curse that you will lose this battle before you fight, and give me such a big hat for Wei Zheng. This is the censor in my court."

Wei Zheng didn't bother to argue with this kind of villain at all, but Di Renjie sneered and said, "Zhang Yushi, I have written down what you said verbatim, and I will report it to His Majesty later. Make sure you Cursing the empire, discussing government affairs indiscriminately, and disrespecting His Majesty are serious crimes."

Zhang Yushi's face froze, feeling that something was stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

Di Renjie went on to say, "Duke Wei's foresight is far-sighted, how can you compare it to a petty villain like you. I'm just afraid that Duke Wei will establish education in an all-round way, and everyone in the empire will be able to study in the future. It's a high position."

"Di Xiang, you..."

Zhang Yushi still wanted to say something, but the officials behind him all left in shame.

Zhang Yushi saw that he was not human inside and out, and that it might cause His Majesty to be offended, his neck tilted, and he fainted out of anger.
