Chapter 1140 I was forced
Faced with Li Zhi's scolding, Han Yi looked shocked and said, "I am aware of my husband, I am aware of yourselves, and I think that your majesty will praise me."
"Praise you?"
Li Zhi's eyes burst out with flames and angrily whispered at Han Yi: "Do you know that even the Ministry of Personnel's selection of officials, the first assessment is appearance, body shape, words and deeds. It's not that I judge people by their appearance, but officials represent the court after all, and their words and deeds are also very important. But look at the ninth-rank academicians you recruited, from head to toe, which is like an official? If the people see these people wearing official uniforms, do you think the people will still have confidence in the court? I'm afraid they will be laughed at that time. Also, do you think I really don't care about the Shilin? I have to rely on them. Have you ever considered my difficulties? Are you sharing your worries or causing trouble for you?"
Of course, he opposed those farmers and craftsmen who served as academicians, and 10,000% of them were opposed, because the court also had a ritual and music system of the court. Those people didn't know a big word and looked so shabby. The basic thing for this official should be appropriate. If they were needed, just let them be a minor official, and you would also take an academician. Isn't this the face of a scholar in the world? The reason why he didn't have an attack at that time was because he could only lean towards the people at that time. As the emperor, how could he say that the people were humiliated? He could only say some great truths to shock the great scholars, but he knew in his heart that this was a trap made by Han Yi for him.
He never expected that Han Yi's strange abilities were these farmers and craftsmen, and now his intestines were regretful.
Han Yi nodded and said, "I know that my husband is guilty of this. If I hadn't said that His Majesty, I would have known that Your Majesty would definitely scold me. But Your Majesty, have you not seen the expressions on the faces of those great scholars just now?"
Li Zhi was a little puzzled, and felt like he was talking to the duck, saying, "What kind of Grand Secretary's expression?"
Han Yi swallowed and said, "It's just an expression of worship! Wow! Your Majesty, don't you know that you have just said something amazing, such as scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, especially the sentence "The essence of my Tang Dynasty culture is in this "tolerance"." After hearing this, I felt like bathing in the spring breeze, warming my heart.
The industrial and commercial class has always had a humble status and was discriminated against by others. But every word of your Majesty is indispensable, which shows that Your Majesty regards them as one. If they hear Your Majesty's words, they should regard Your Majesty as a god in their hearts and only want to be His Majesty's people for generations. Not to mention the industrial and commercial class, there are also many poor families among the great scholars. Li Taishi was very moved when he heard this. The weak ministers found that there were tears in his eyes just now."
Li Zhi said in surprise: "Is that true?"
“Absolutely!”
Han Yi raised three fingers and said, "I dare to swear to the heavens. Your Majesty's words directly laid the foundation for the great cause of the Tang Dynasty. It is just because of Your Majesty's mind that embraces all rivers. This is the real way to conquer people with virtue. Did Your Majesty not realize it? Oh, this is even more worthy of people's respect, because it can be seen that Your Majesty did not say it on purpose, but it is from the heart. It can be seen that Your Majesty regards everyone as a people, regardless of customs, class, men and women, or thoughts, wow--What a great sentiment!"
Li Zhi said that was mainly worried that he would cause a dispute between scholars and commoners. He didn't want the matter to get serious, so he didn't think too much. Now that he thought about the expressions of the ministers just now and the words he said, he was suddenly moved by his IQ and sentiment, and his proud look came to paper. Suddenly, he frowned and snorted, "Don't fool me here, you can explain the matter of this academician to me first. Don't think that I don't know anything. You clearly dug a pit and let me jump into it."
Damn! This did not fool him, it was a failure! Han Yi smiled embarrassedly and said, "What Your Majesty taught me is that I did not intend to conceal it from Your Majesty that I was making a hindrance from you, but I would like to forgive you, and I was forced to do so."
"I'm forced to do anything?"
Li Zhi snorted and said, "What's the point of being forced? I think it's a mess. If you ask them to come to the Sixth Academy of Sages, then that's fine. No one will interfere with you, but the question is why you want to promote them to ninth-grade academicians? If you give them more money, they will do their best. They may not even understand the meaning of ninth-grade academicians, so who has forced you again."
Han Yi wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty said it very well. The reason for this is that I should explain it clearly to Your Majesty, but before that, I would like to ask Your Majesty, do Your Majesty agree with the Sixth Academy of the Sage?"
Li Zhi said: "If I don't agree, how could I allow you to build the Sixth House of Sages? Do you think that I regard state affairs as a joke?"
He is not stupid. The Sixth Academy of Sages only studies farmland, mulberry fields, and farm tools. Even if it fails, it doesn’t matter. What if it succeeds? This is the smallest price to exchange for high returns.
"I don't dare!"
Han Yi also said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. The only task of the Sixth Academy of Sages is to study how to plant more food and find more sources of food on limited land and manpower. After all, the population is growing, and the land will not grow.
But it is precisely because of this that our Sixth Academy of Sages will not involve any power, because there is no intersection with power. We only study the knowledge that helps the country's development, such as agriculture, medicine, engineering, etc., which helps the country's development. However, Sixth Academy of Sages needs geniuses in these aspects. How to attract geniuses in this aspect is nothing more than three: power, money, and honor. Sixth Academy of Sages has nothing to do with power. Money can attract ordinary people, but it cannot attract those who are truly talented. Those people will definitely want to go to Hongwenguan. Again, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, if Weichen is given a very high salary to the officials of the Sixth Academy of Sages, more people will be dissatisfied, so the rest is honor.
Weichen did this just to attract talents to the Sixth Academy of the Sages, so he chose the officials of the Sixth Academy of the Sages as academicians. As for why the farmers and craftsmen were hired, it was not to attract attention for this, but because our Sixth Academy of the Sages really needed their experience. They were the foundation of our Sixth Academy of the Sages. Weichen was a businessman and a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and would never waste every penny.”
After hearing this, Li Zhi's expression slowed down a little. Han Yi's words were unreasonable. The Sixth Academy of the Sages is more purer than the Hongwenguan and cannot involve the power class. Unless it is promoted to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, it is another matter. However, there is definitely no power in the Sixth Academy of the Sages. If you don't give power and honor, then you will have no hope for the ghost to come here to work. Moreover, from Han Yi's behavior, you can see that these farmers are not young. If you let them involve power, they don't have the ability to say, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me in advance?"
Han Yi said: "Report to Your Majesty, this is because I know that Your Majesty has difficulties for Your Majesty. If I told Your Majesty at that time, if Your Majesty allows you, the scholars in the world will be dissatisfied with Your Majesty. I don't care. Anyway, the broken jar - this is not - has offended the scholars in the world. In this case, then Your Majesty is innocent and the mistake is all about me, but I didn't expect that I would pull Your Majesty in. I feel deeply guilty about this."
On the other hand, if Li Zhi did not agree, the Sixth Academy of Sages would not be able to grow and would be even more impossible to succeed.
After all, Han Yi was really helpless.
Li Zhi felt a little moved when he heard this, but it was really hard to blame Han Yi again. He sighed and said, "Actually, every time you argue with others, there is your reason, otherwise, I would not support you, but how could I just use reason to decide on the matter in the court?" At this point, he shook his head and said, "Forget it! You are also devoted to the people, but I only have one requirement, which is not to start any disputes between scholars and commoners."
Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I dare to guarantee that there will never be any of the last time."
Li Zhi wondered, "Why do you guarantee it?"
Han Yi said: "Just based on what Your Majesty said!"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, pointed at Han Yi, and walked towards the Royal Library.
"call!"
Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped his sweat, and followed.
When he arrived at the Royal Library, Li Zhi was immediately shocked by the atmosphere here. This was completely different from the atmosphere where the tense and bayonets were just now. Everyone was looking down at the books in their hands. It was so fascinating that even if Li Zhi and Han Yi came, no one noticed them. Of course, Li Zhi was wearing casual clothes. If he wanted to wear a dragon robe, it would definitely be different.
Li Zhike is also a book lover. He likes the atmosphere so much. He raised his hand and signaled the bodyguards to whisper a little, then wink at Han Yi.
Han Yi immediately understood and took Li Zhi to the middle courtyard. When he walked through the corridor, no readers on the corridor looked up. Li Zhi couldn't help but smile knowingly. He entered the cabinet and found that there were many people standing by the window, and some people even sat in the corner of the wall holding a book.
Li Zhi suddenly saw someone, smiled, walked over, and took the book directly from the man.
It’s Cui Jieren!
Cui Jieren was so impressed that someone dared to take the majority of his hands. He immediately turned his head and saw that it was Li Zhi. He was shocked and was about to salute him. Li Zhi raised his hand to stop him. He looked over the cover and whispered: "Beginner of Mathematics." He couldn't help but look at Han Yi with interest, because the author was Han Yi.
This is interesting. Cui Jieren actually reads Han Yi's book.
Han Yi said without hesitation: "I know myself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. I have already experienced it. Your Majesty should not be surprised."
Cui Jieren just smiled faintly and didn't say anything, because Han Yi was very right. He learned a lot of tricks from Han Yi. Although he was arrogant by nature, he was really not ashamed to ask when studying. He would not think it was embarrassing to learn from Han Yi. He only felt that it would be embarrassing to lose to Han Yi.
Li Zhi smiled and flipped it around casually, only to feel his eyes lit up, because the knowledge in the book is combined with the things encountered in life, and he whispered to Han Yi: "Send these books to the palace."
Han Yi said: "There are my husbands who obey the order."
Li Zhi handed the book back to Cui Jieren, and suddenly glanced at Zheng Shanxing who was leaning against the window to read the book, and said, "You guys are all here."
Cui Jieren nodded.
Li Zhi knew about their knowledge and was very curious. The books in the library were so focused, so he also read them on his own and found that many books he had never heard of, and he wanted to read them one by one, but his time was limited, so he read them casually, and then asked Han Yi to send some to the palace.
After walking around, Han Yi was bleeding!
But Li Zhi was still not satisfied. The atmosphere here was so good. When he came here, he just wanted to read books and whispered: "If I remember correctly, this book pavilion is divided into levels, and there is a book pavilion specially prepared for candidates."
Han Yi said: "Yes, in the South Courtyard, I will take Your Majesty here."
"Um!"
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Cui Jieren and the others suddenly came over. Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "I dare to ask His Majesty, but I want to go to the South Courtyard."
Li Zhi nodded.
Zheng Shanxing said: "I want to go and have a look, too."
Chapter completed!
