Chapter 616 Drinking a Victory

Han Yu and Cao Yubian were drinking tea in the teahouse, but they were depressed. They were about to drink some sweet potato wine to feel the reality of the sweet potato wine, but they called the shopkeeper of the teahouse for questioning.

Twenty cents a catty of wine, even though Han Yu doesn't deal with buying and selling things very much, he still knows what twenty cents a catty of wine represents. Now that there is a food shortage in the north, the price of food has always been high, and the price of wine is even more ridiculous. Twenty yuan a catty of wine can only be said to be so cheap that it cannot be cheaper, and the profit of the restaurant selling the wine, the cost of transportation, the cost of brewing, the cost of renting and farming management, etc. have to be put aside, and then It is Tian Hongyu's profit. Tian Hongyu sells it for [-] yuan. It can only be said that his cost is lower.

"Then where do you start with reality?" Seeing Cao Yubian standing there with a bitter face and not saying a word, Han Yu urged the shopkeeper to explain what reality is.

"Returning to the master, it's really..., is this really, it's like this..., if it's wine from other houses, it's [-] cents, it's all mixed with water, but the sweet potato wine, [-] cents, it's a regular wine. Well, the store sells the wine at that price, and still makes money, but the store often mixes the wine with water. Even if it is mixed with water in half, the store can still sell it as wine. Many customers want to drink it cheaply. The taste of the wine is fine, and there is not much to pay attention to, so, in many places, the twenty-cent wine is often mixed with water, and some even sell it for eleven or two cents a catty, so he really..." The shopkeeper He didn't hide it, but he cleaned up the inside story of the matter.

Cao Yubian only felt that his mouth was so tasteless. The strong tea he drank just now really didn't have any tea taste. As for Tian Hongyu, no, the emperor's methods, I really don't know how to talk about it. Wen's wine can be mixed half and half, and then sold for eleven or two yuan a catty, that is to say, even ordinary people who work as coolies can drink a cup for two or three dollars, no wonder the emperor's business With such a big momentum, it swept the entire north at once. This price is really no different from that of Chinese cabbage.

"Twenty Wen's wine can be mixed half and half? Does it still taste like wine? Is the drinker not particular?" Han Yu asked.

"Returning to the master, the twenty-cent sweet potato wine is very strong in itself. Even if it is mixed half and half, it is still very strong. It doesn't just have a little taste of wine. If it is like that, no one will buy it. This is also the reason why the shopkeepers like to sell it, the wine is strong, the price is low, and the goods are real..." The shopkeeper explained again.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Cao Yubian felt even more bitter in his heart. No wonder the wine was overwhelming when it was born, sweeping the entire north, making it known to everyone, such as the emperor's fight, their method is really too simple.

"Well, good, not bad, here's the blessing, let's see the reward..." Seeing that the question that should be asked was almost finished, Han Yu immediately waved his hand and sent the person away. He had to talk to Cao Yubian.

"Thank you, master!" Seeing that the master had given out the reward, the shopkeeper thanked him immediately, and walked away tactfully.

While talking, the sweet potato wine had already been delivered to the tables of Han Yu and Cao Yubian. Wine was not supposed to be sold here, but was bought from others.

"Come, come, old Tongnian, try a drink and see what the taste of this wine is, and why it has sold so much..." Han Yu picked up a wine jar on the table and poured it for Cao Yubian. After drinking a glass, I also poured myself a glass. According to the shopkeeper, their jar is twenty-cent wine, but Han Yu wants to see how the twenty-cent wine is so strong, half of it is mixed with water. It can also be sold as wine.

Cao Yubian was very bitter in his heart, so he invited Han Yu for a drink, and then sipped it in one sip.

"Hiss..., ah...!" Cao Yubian took a sip of the wine and immediately felt the heat of the wine.

"...It can be regarded as burning a knife, the wine is strong enough..." Han Yu also took a sip, and immediately commented on the wine. Although he only took a small sip, his mouth was still burning.

As soon as Cao Yubian drank the wine, he understood in his heart that such a strong wine sold for [-] yuan, which is really cheap. In the north where the food price is so high today, he is a freak It is absolutely not a lie to say that it can be sold as wine if it is half mixed with water. At such a low price, even the coolies can afford it. It is difficult not to sell it with such a great momentum..., such a big Selling wine with prestige is to tell everyone that the emperor will make money and has connections. It is a positive number for everyone to follow the emperor to do business. This is the emperor slapping them in the face with facts!It can be a hundred times better than their lip service.

Cao Yubian was very bitter in his heart, after only drinking a few small cups, he fell unconscious on the table and fell asleep soundly.Han Yu shook his head as he watched, fighting the emperor, he has no skills, it's really hard!Using their previous methods to deal with the emperor has basically no effect. Apart from repeated fiascos at the hands of the emperor, what else can they do?If you want to be like the emperor, use legitimate means to make a big noise... If you have this ability, you are not a non-payer. Anyone with this ability will be turned into an imperial party by the emperor.

"Come on, come on!...Master Cao is drunk, hurry up and send someone to take Master Cao back to the Cao Mansion, and be careful not to bump Master Cao on the way, you know?" Han Yu shouted again, this wine is for drinking I can't go on anymore, Cao Yubian has something on his mind, he is very bitter, and he wants to get drunk.There's no need for him to get drunk with him, at this age, it's better not to torment yourself like this.I can be regarded as half an imperial party.

……

The city of Beijing is still lively, and the court seems to be still very peaceful.

A big battle between the tax-payers and the non-payers came and went, and it ended with the emperor's tax-payers winning a big victory, and the non-tax-payers had no resistance at all.

The Land and Water Dafa Conference, which started from the Ghost Festival, is still going on, and it didn't end because of the end of the Ghost Festival, nor did it stop due to the struggle between the two factions, but it became more and more lively. All Taoist scholars are proud to be able to publicize themselves in the capital. Today, they will go to the altar to preach, and tomorrow they will open the altar to give lectures. The capital is really lively.

Originally, the disputes between the taxpayers were mostly concerned by literati, officials, and people with certain status and wealth. The matter was basically only related to them. I haven't thought about participating in anything, because they can't participate, and they can't participate. However, since the sweet potato wine incident, among ordinary citizens, there has also begun to be a matter of dividing themselves into factions. Before, they could not Participating in these things, I can only look up at the gods in the sky to fight, at most, I will talk about who won and who lost, and scold the injustice of the world, but now it is different. Anyway, the sweet potato wine is mainly them After drinking it, although they may not have much energy and qualifications to talk things out, but after they drink a "victory" for the emperor with their insignificant one or two cents, finally many people feel that, in fact, they can also give We have set up a "clique" of the imperial party, and we also support the emperor. Although we don't have much money, we can't make much trouble, but we only have one penny or two pennies, and we will give the emperor a victory. There is a huge momentum coming out, even if we want to show those officials and lords a look, we can't underestimate it.

No matter in the capital city or outside the capital city, the emperor's prestige among ordinary people and low-level people is ridiculously high. When recruiting and doing things, they have never treated these ordinary people badly. These ordinary people are naturally grateful in their hearts. It is a pity that the emperor is too far away from them. .

It's not like ordinary people don't know about the battle between the emperor and those who don't pay taxes. Isn't that what the daily gossip says?But what if you know?What can it do?How can you help the emperor?Willing but powerless...

However, the sweet potato wine incident can be said to have triggered a string in the hearts of ordinary people.In fact, the common people have a steelyard in their hearts. Everyone can tell who is good and who is bad. In the past, they couldn't help the emperor, they could only watch the theater, but now they can support the emperor with their own meager strength. Since drinking can support the emperor, then drink... to cheer for the emperor through drinking, and to win a victory for the emperor.

Inside and outside the capital, the matter of giving oneself a "party" has become the most popular and fashionable thing among ordinary people. The tax-paying and non-paying factions are no longer high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Ordinary people can also be divided into "cliques", among other things, we can drink, and the wine we drink can drown you gang of bad guys who are against the emperor.

……

Zhang Da is just a person who can't survive in his hometown and escaped from the famine. He really can't survive at home, so he can only take his wife and children away from home. He originally thought it was a dead end, but now, he is living a decent life. In other words, the children and daughter-in-law are all fine, they are not hungry, and they have clothes to wear. Although the work is a bit hard, Zhang Da feels that his life is very good now, full of ambition and hope.

Zhang Da has always felt that the reason why he is able to live today is entirely thanks to the emperor. If the emperor hadn't engaged in immigration and kept helping them fleeing famine, his family would have starved to death on the road. If it wasn't for the emperor, he would not He may be able to find a job that can support the family, and it is impossible for his wife and children to live a decent life. For everything in front of him, his wife and children are hot on the bed, and he feels very satisfied. All of this must be thanks to a benefactor. That is the emperor.Every time he heard someone say strange things about the emperor, he felt very angry in his heart, but he was just a coolie, even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Da, like most ordinary people, has a simple concept of good and evil, repaying kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge. Zhang Da originally thought that he might not be able to repay the emperor's kindness in his whole life. He can help if he wants to, and this grace of survival can only be repaid in the next life.

There are not one or two people who have this kind of thinking like Zhang Da. Basically, people who have survived by immigration to this day have this kind of simple thought, and those who have survived by working in various factories also have this kind of simple thought.

These simple thoughts may not be realized in a lifetime, but can only disappear in silence.

However, the sweet potato wine incident became a trigger to detonate this kind of thinking. Since drinking can repay kindness, then drink.

Ever since Zhang Da figured out the truth, he went to a small tavern to drink a cup of wine every day after work, which was a silent repayment to the emperor, and he specified that he only drank sweet potato wine.

Most of the people who worked with him did the same thing. After work every day, they were not in a hurry to go home, but first went to the tavern to ask for a cup of wine. The money was not much, only a penny or two , After drinking, they went home separately.

When Zhang Da returned home, although the house was shorter and dilapidated, it was still a shelter from the wind and rain. It was better than anything else if he could have food, drink, and a place to stay. Although the house was dilapidated, Zhang Da felt that Extra warm.

"Father!...Father is back..."

A small figure ran over, Zhang Da picked up his son, and affectionately called his son's baby name, enjoying himself.

"Why, are you drinking again?..." Zhang Da's daughter-in-law came over and asked after smelling the alcohol on Zhang Da's body.

"Well, I drank it, not much, just two pennies..." Zhang Da was not a good talker, and when he saw his daughter-in-law blaming him, he immediately told the truth.

"...It's really not much, it's only two pennies, we have to repay the favor..." Zhang Da explained.

"..." Zhang Da's daughter-in-law didn't make a sound. She also knew what was going on about the repayment. There had been rumors in the neighborhood. Well, then she has to repay, but she doesn't know how to repay. Their benefactor is the emperor, and it is extremely difficult to even meet, let alone repay.It was recently rumored that drinking is a way of repaying a favor, and she felt that maybe this was indeed a way of repaying a kindness. Although her husband had to drink before returning home every day, she didn't want to object. She knew that her husband didn't drink alcohol in the first place. , The reason for drinking is for the emperor.

"...Come in, the food is already cooked, and I'll be waiting for you..." Zhang Da's daughter-in-law didn't complain about her husband drinking, and said flatly.

"Hmm..." Zhang Da hummed, and finally agreed.

"...Eat, eat, eat sweet potatoes..." Zhang Da's son shouted happily, sweet potato food is really a rare delicacy.

……

On the dining table, the meals are very simple, two simple vegetarian dishes, rice mixed with half of the whole grains, and a few pieces of steamed sweet potatoes.

With sharp eyes, he immediately saw that today's food is unusual. There seems to be more oil in this dish than in the past.Zhang Da was not good at talking, he would only look at his wife with his eyes, as if he was asking how the food was so much better today than in the past.

"Hurry up, I just found out when I went to buy oil today, and the oil has dropped by another five cents, so I put in more oil today..." Seeing that her husband discovered the "secret", Mrs. Zhang immediately explained happily, as if Did a very proud thing.

"How did the price of oil drop? In this famine year, many people can't even afford to eat?" Zhang Da asked in puzzlement. This year, a large area of ​​the north was hit by disasters. I don't know how many people have to flee the famine. The price of oil can still come down. It's really weird.

"It's impossible. I heard from the oil salesman that the lamp oil is used to light the lamps now. There is less oil. The oil can't be sold. Naturally, the price has to be lowered..., thanks to the emperor." "If it wasn't for the emperor, how could there be such a cheap thing? I went shopping today, and I heard that the lamp oil has dropped by another three points. For the same money, I bought a lot more. When Bao'er is studying later, I can buy more." Light the lamp for a while..." Zhang Da's daughter-in-law immediately announced proudly that she was good at housekeeping, and she was also grateful to the emperor in her words.

"Well, that's, that's, it's lucky to have a good emperor now, not to mention food, but also to read books. I don't know which life has cultivated this blessing. We must not forget our roots, we deserve it' The imperial party, you should be a "tax-paying party", and tomorrow you will drink a penny more wine..." Zhang Da immediately announced happily that he is an "imperial party" and "tax-paying party", and he will support the emperor with practical actions to show himself The identity of the "imperial party".

"...Look at you, how can the emperor lose a penny of yours?..." Zhang Da's daughter-in-law was amused by her husband's honesty.

"Hehe, don't underestimate this penny, we just want to use a penny to piss off those who are against the emperor. The emperor is obviously a good emperor, but they still keep fighting against the emperor. They are definitely not good people,... We must help the emperor..." When Zhang Da mentioned this matter, he immediately became tactful.

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, I know you want to be that 'imperial party' and 'taxpayer', but you don't have to say it so loudly, you won't be afraid of others' jokes if you say it, the imperial party is so easy to be? The imperial party doesn't do big things, so it's like you?" Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

"That's impossible. Although we are poor and not high-ranking officials, we have a lot of people! Each of us drinks a penny or two a day. If we accumulate it, it will be terrible. Although we can't help What a big deal, but we can shout for the emperor, we just want to drink it every day, until the emperor cleans up those people..." Zhang Da said a little excitedly, he didn't think too much, although his strength was meager, he did his best He believed that those people would definitely be taken care of by the emperor. Without the emperor, his family would have starved to death by the side of the road.

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly... In the future, when our Bao'er grows up, it's not too bad to be an imperial party for the emperor. You, an imperial party, will probably be a fluffy imperial party... Hehehe... ..." Zhang Da's daughter-in-law said this, but she laughed, and turned to look at her son, who was burying her head in eating, with a mouth full of food, chewing deliciously, Zhang Da's daughter-in-law was very satisfied.

"That's true. We don't want to have much future in this life. It's up to our Bao'er. I hope to be successful in studying in the future and be able to honor our ancestors..." Zhang Da took a bite of his meal, but said with some pride, he It is even more lamented that we have met a good time, and now it is a good thing to study without money, and it is only possible to have such a good thing when you meet the emperor today.

"Bao'er is obedient, work hard to eat, work hard to study, so that you can repay the emperor and become an imperial party in the future, you know?" Zhang Da's daughter-in-law touched her son's head again, and Chun Chun taught.

"Mother, Bao'er knows, is our family a taxpayer of the imperial party?" The child who was chowing down his rice asked while chewing, his immature face was very serious.

"Hehe, our family! Thanks to the emperor, we can eat, wear clothes, and Bao'er can read. Naturally, we have to repay the emperor's favor. However, your father's 'imperial party' is at best a scumbag." The imperial party, what kind of an "imperial party" is it? The real "imperial party" all do great things, such as the living Bodhisattva Xu Ge and Sun Ge, only then can they help the emperor, Bao'er will have a good future Good at studying, and strive to be a living bodhisattva like Xu Ge, an 'imperial party', you know?" Zhang Da's daughter-in-law immediately taught her son to stand firmly on the emperor's side.

When Zhang Da saw his daughter-in-law saying that he was an imperialist, he could only smile naively. He knew that there were not many places where he could help the emperor, so drinking to help the emperor was the only thing he could do.

"Understood, mother, Bao'er must study hard and serve His Majesty when she grows up, then Bao'er will be an imperial party in the future..." The child said seriously.

Mrs. Zhang touched her son's head kindly again and smiled. Under the dim light, the family was happy and full of hope.

……

Kong Yinzhi entered the capital with some uneasy thoughts. What he saw and heard on the way made him feel like a lifetime away. It is extremely hard to imagine why the capital has become so prosperous?The passers-by I saw on the road, although they were full of food, had eyes full of hope. Most of the people with their families were heading towards the capital.

There have been rumors about how great the emperor is, but Kong Yinzhi didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't have any intuitive feelings. After this long journey, he actually got some feelings.

Before entering Beijing, there was a big fight between the emperor and those people, and it ended with the emperor's taxpayers winning a big victory. Kong Yinzhi felt a little scared and began to regret that he shouldn't have It's involved in this incident between the emperor and those people, but at this time, Kong Yinzhi also knows that he has already finished, so he can't withdraw, otherwise, neither side will wait to see him.Now is an era of changing circumstances. Confucianism and Confucianism in this great era, what should they do? If you blindly escape, it is not the answer.

Looking at the imperial palace in front of him, Kong Yinzhi didn't feel how brilliant it was, it wasn't even considered exquisite, at most it was tall and imposing.

……

On the edge of the Taiye Pool, Yang Reform is dealing with things. If it is too hot today, Yang Reform moved his office here.

"Song Qing's family, get up quickly." Yang Reform said with a smile.The result of the Sweet Potato War came out, and it ended with an overwhelming victory on my side. A large number of aristocratic families who were watching finally saw the situation clearly and began to switch to their side.

Although the taxpayers of the imperial party may have some losses to themselves, it can be seen that after seeing the methods used by the emperor to fight against those people, and the methods used by the emperor to make money, some people can also see that "those people" are just putting on airs and playing tricks It's okay, if you want to do things with real knives and guns, all of them are silver-like wax gun heads, which are useless, and you still say that you need to gather a group of people to completely correct the wrong path of the emperor, and actually watch the emperor clean up Their methods, many people know that "those people" are useless, it is better to seek refuge with the emperor as soon as possible, the less and less good meat is divided, and in the end, they can only pick up the bones to eat.

Now, Yang Reform has also relaxed a little bit, but he has started to arrange future affairs, the matter of the Encyclopedia of Ming Dynasty, Yang Reform thinks that it can be arranged first, and only then can he meet Song Yingxing. Always let Yang Reform feel at ease. Popularization of education has already begun, and some places are already piloting it. If there is a problem with the educational materials and the direction of education, Yang Reform feels that he will suffer a big loss in the future, so he should first Get busy with this.This book editing is not something that can be completed in a day or two, it may be a project of several years, if it can be done as soon as possible, the fight with those people is no longer a "big deal", everything can be done step by step up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Song Yingxing hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.I am very excited, this is really Tianshelang Chaowei, ascending to the Tianzitang at dusk!He is a small person, not to mention being valued by the emperor, and it seems that he will be reused by the emperor. This encounter is really like a dream.

"The Qing family is a newcomer?" Yang Reform began to make things happen, and planned to focus on cultivating this historical celebrity.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is Fengxin. The ancestor of the god was born in the 15th year of Wanli, and was elected in the 43rd year of Wanli. Since then, he has been mediocre..." Song Yingxing began to explain his own history.

"Oh, I heard that the great-grandfather was Song Jing? Song Zhuangjing? That's a famous official in my court! Unexpectedly, after the Qing family is a famous official, it's no wonder that they are so knowledgeable..." Yang Reform praised with a smile. There is ready-made information. Often everyone can find out who a person's ancestors are, and Yang Reform continues to make common sense.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. I am not as talented as my great-grandfather. I am still doing nothing until now. It is almost the age of my destiny. I am really ashamed of my ancestors..." Song Yingxing kept saying that he was useless. It's been a year and I haven't passed the Jinshi exam yet, and I'm still a Juren.

"Hey, the Qing family shouldn't underestimate themselves so much. After being named a minister, at least the character and family precepts still exist, which is not comparable to ordinary people..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty," Song Yingxing said.

"I heard that the ancestors of the Qing family also supported the one-whip method? Is there such a thing?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. In China, at this point, it is strong. If one Juren, then his eight generations of ancestors are all well-documented After checking, let alone such a famous official, his files are all clearly written, and they can neither be ignored nor changed. Yang Reform is talking about this, and he is going to see Song Yingxing reform attitude.

"...Return to Your Majesty, but there is this matter. The great-grandfather did support a whip method." Song Yingxing admitted it immediately without too much hesitation. , Whether you admit it or not, it is a fact.

"Oh, hehe, I wonder how the Qing family thinks about the current situation?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.Since they are from the reformers, they have a common language.

"Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty acts with awe-inspiring spirit, and those people are not wronged..." Song Yingxing saw that the emperor was so talkative, and asked about his family's great-grandfather. Song Yingxing probably understood a little bit, but he was not restrained, and gradually Let go, said boldly.

"Hahahaha...! Is that right? Awe-inspiring spirit? Then I will ask the Qing family again, what do you think of the word change?" Seeing that Song Yingxing was "sensible", Yang Reform asked Song Yingxing's attitude towards reform directly without secret words.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my attitude toward change is just like that of my great-grandfather. I believe that when change is needed, change should be made. It is not an option to hold on to the crippled and deficient. Taking today's day as yesterday's day is the right thing to do. Since the sun is not the same every day. The sun, of course, can't keep that mark and live forever." Song Yingxing immediately showed that he was a reformer, except that Song Yingxing himself was a famous minister and was influenced by some, and he had an extraordinary experience. In terms of public understanding, they know better than many people, and their views on many things are from the perspective of ordinary people, and their attitude towards many officials and scholars is not so friendly.Even more because of the emperor's attention, it is even more impossible to say that he is against change.

"You are knowledgeable! Does the Qing family know? What is the name I use when I go out in micro-services? It's called reform, which means change..." Yang Reform is not afraid to tell his secrets to this man whom he has just met a few times. The person in front of him has historical endorsement, and Yang Reform is not afraid that he will ruin his own affairs.

"..." Song Yingxing could only glance at the emperor in shock. The emperor actually told him such a secret thing. This..., if he didn't trust himself to the extreme, it would be impossible to tell him about it!Song Yingxing was instantly moved by the emperor's frankness.

"...However, change is not so easy or easy. It requires the concerted efforts of many like-minded people to promote social change..." After Yang Reform finished speaking, he looked at Song Yingxing with a smile.

"I am willing to be driven by His Majesty, and willing to do my best for His Majesty's reform... However, my position is small and humble, and I am just a person from a family background. Even if I want to, I am afraid that I will not be able to do much for Your Majesty. I am afraid that I will miss His Majesty's love... ..." Song Yingxing was also unambiguous, and immediately knelt down. Since the emperor valued him so much, why should he be hypocritical?Besides swearing to serve His Majesty to the death, what else can I do?Of course, he also knows his identity, too low!Not even a Jinshi, destined not to climb to a high position.

"You don't need to say that about the Qing family. Although the Qing family is only from Juren, the Qing family is not the only one here. Have you heard of Sun Yuanhua's Qing family?" Yang Reform laughed. It is okay to talk to historical celebrities. Let go of your heart, there is historical evidence, but you don't have to worry about your character.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have heard of it." Song Yingxing quickly agreed, he must have heard of Sun Yuanhua, but they held a banner among them.

"Have you heard of Xu Xiake?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have heard of it, and I often read his travel notes. He and I were born in the same year." Song Yingxing said again, Xu Xiake is now a famous person, and the travel notes he wrote have become many. A must-read for everyone.

"Oh, born in the same year? The 15th year of Wanli? This is interesting!" Yang Reform was a little surprised. Something happened in the 15th year of Wanli.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Song Yingxing replied.

Yang Reform nodded, thinking that this is interesting, but many famous people in Chinese history met in this year.

"...Since the Qing family knows about them, they should know that juren is not without a future, he can only do things with his heart, and the future is naturally limitless." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"I will remember your Majesty's instruction." Song Yingxing saw what the emperor said, so he naturally knew what the emperor meant. The emperor probably wanted to use him again. The emperor is not a person who has nothing to do.

"I'm curious, where did you learn all the knowledge in the Qing family's heart? Ordinary people can't learn so much knowledge." Yang Reform asked again.

"Your Majesty, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, travel thousands of miles, what is there and what should not be heard?" Song Yingxing asked the emperor boldly.

"So, the Qing family respects the unity of knowledge and action? Real knowledge comes from practice?" Yang Reform asked.

"The unity of knowledge and action? Real knowledge comes from practice? This..., Your Majesty, if you want to talk about admiration, I admire Mr. Hengqu..." Song Yingxing understood the unity of knowledge and action, but didn't quite understand the practice of true knowledge. Also guess some.

"Oh, Mr. Hengqu..., do you know why I value you?" To be honest, Yang Reform doesn't know who Mr. Hengqu is, but it doesn't matter.

"...Return to Your Majesty, I don't know." Song Yingxing replied, indeed, he is just a person, if he is to be valued by the emperor, it is simply a matter of smoke from the ancestral grave.

"I just value your erudition and attitude, and you are down-to-earth." Yang Reform said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am ashamed and dare not take it seriously. As for erudition, most of them are outsiders, and many of them are not in the eyes of the world..." Song Yingxing hurriedly said modestly. It refers to the words of the sage, the words and teachings of the sage, his things can only be said to be the knowledge of the mountain and the village, and in front of the scholars, it is not a real university.

"Hehehe..., the Qing family is wrong. What is a university question? In my opinion, the Qing family's knowledge is a university question. All the knowledge in the Qing family's chest is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. It’s much better than many people chanting the words of a sage all day, although the words of a sage are very important, but what people eat and drink is more important, isn’t it?” Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Uh..." Song Yingxing was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"...This time, I called Qing's family here because I have something to ask Qing's family for." Yang Reform and Song Yingxing got over the routine and began to arrange the facts.

"Please give orders, Your Majesty." Song Yingxing hurriedly responded.

"I need you to systematically catalog all kinds of knowledge, knowledge, technology, etc. that are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and make them into reference books such as dictionaries, or encyclopedias." Yang Reform said.

"Encyclopedia?" Song Yingxing was intimidated by the name, encyclopedia!Just hearing the title of the book, one knows that this must be a book that is too complicated to add.

"That's right, it's an encyclopedia, where knowledge and technology from all walks of life are cataloged without any hesitation." Yang Reform said affirmatively.

"But Your Majesty, I'm just a candidate. Such a complicated book must be a huge and important matter. How capable I am, I can take on this important task." Song Yingxing refused. If there is no one else, at least the cabinet minister should be responsible for such a matter. , he is a recruiter, at most he can participate, if he presides over it, can the people of the world agree?

"Hehehe..., the Qing family is wrong. Since ancient times, people in the world have been proud of learning. How many people value farming, sericulture, metallurgy, ceramics, and bricks and wood skills? People care about these? And these are just major issues of national economy and people's livelihood. In my opinion, these are more important than learning. Throughout the ages, people engaged in these industries are uneducated people. They neither know how to sum up experience nor learn from experience. Extract something more useful. The experience summed up by a generation is often unable to be used and inherited by others or the country because it cannot be summed up and refined in time. Over the generations, the skills have been spinning around in place, and the level of skill improvement has always been Not very high, I think, if some useful experience can be recorded and refined in time, so that more people can sum up higher and better experience on the basis of these experiences, wouldn't it be more valuable than letting those Is my experience wasted in vain? For example, an old farmer is very good at farming, and the harvest is several percent higher than that of others. If I can record his experience, wouldn’t it be possible for me to produce more in the future? Food? If the new generation directly learns the technique of this old farmer, wouldn’t it save many newcomers from the long experience accumulation? If future generations can sum up the method of increasing the yield by [-] to [-]% based on the experience of this old farmer , wouldn’t it be better? If this cycle continues, it will be the blessing of the country!” Yang Reform said.
