Chapter 1933 Freedom and Restriction

Just in the past few days when Han Yi accompanied Yang Feixue and the others, the first batch of graduates from the Military Academy had quietly gone south. They would go to Yangzhou, Guangzhou and Jiaozhi. They were just responsible for recruitment in name only, but in fact, they had a heavy responsibility. Because Han Yi's plan not only wanted to conquer those islands, but also to integrate Jiaozhi into it, so as to develop Lingnan and other places.

But these are carried out in secret, only to understand but not to be expressed in words. The court is now fully preparing for popular education.

Because from the current situation, the people's demand for the Education Bureau is far higher than that of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Nowadays, merchants are thinking about the South China Sea islands all day long and do not have time to talk nonsense with officials. However, this year, the Military Academy and the Royal Training Camp will recruit people on a large scale, because the Royal Police system has matured and has been recognized by the court and the people, and this system will definitely be popularized across the country.

At the same time, Zhaoyi College is already working with businessmen to start building a college, and education will face privatization. This is because the previous education model is on the verge of elimination. After so many years of development, Zhaoyi College's education model has truly defeated the previous traditional education. Of course, the people are eager for more colleges, but at present, all this is still being promoted by private people.

If the court does not interfere, there will be nothing in the future. However, the court will not give up on the control of education. This is very important for rulers. Moreover, popularizing education also requires the full support of the court. The court must quickly formulate corresponding policies to standardize the cause of education while supporting popular education.

Now the preliminary education system has been written, so I just wait for the Education Bureau to open and then promulgate it immediately.

Then we must accelerate the construction of the Education Bureau.

The address of the Education Bureau was chosen at Xu Jingzong's mansion, while the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was chosen at Li Yi Mansion.

Today, Han Yi and Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua came here to inspect.

At this time, dozens of craftsmen were already knocking and lifting inside.

"I think Xu Jingzong never dreamed that I would come here in this way."

Han Yi entered the door and glanced at him, and couldn't help but overstate it.

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "Your declaration of victory is really late!"

Han Yi said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. What's the relationship between Xu Jingzong's ending in this way? I'm the most annoying of such party disputes. With this leisure time, I might as well spend time with my wife at home."

In the Lu Master’s hexagram and Zheng Shanxing all laugh without saying anything.

Han Yi said: "Don't you believe it?"

"please."

Zheng Shanxing stretched out his hand slightly.

"This pure one will be clear. Do you believe it or not?"

The three of them walked inside.

This mansion of Xu Jingzong was really luxurious. At first glance, it was hard to imagine the luxurious scene here back then. Now it is demolished and destroyed. It is estimated that in a few days, this will become unrecognizable. This is Xu Jingzong's hard work for most of his life, but it only took a few days, which also made Lu Shi Gua, Zheng Shanxing, who is also the prime minister, feel very sad.

"Huh? What is this bridge used for?"

When he came to the garden behind, Han Yi suddenly found two attics with unique designs in front of him. The corridors were all outside, they were spiral up, not traditional stairs, but were paved with wooden boards, and there was a flying bridge between the two attics. Han Yi was very curious about this design.

A minor official next to him hurriedly said, "This is specially designed for singing girls to perform."

Han Yi said in surprise: "Stand on this bridge to perform? What to perform?"

The little official said, "Oh, Xu Jingzong likes to let the singing girls ride on them."

"ah?"

Han Yi didn't understand it for a while, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out. Then he smiled and said, "This old man's hobby is really strange."

But he knew that people like this had some strange hobbies that ordinary people could not understand, and this has been the case throughout history, because there is nothing to pursue for such people, and they can only pursue some extreme hobbies.

Zheng Shanxing frowned and said, "Let's go, I feel uncomfortable even standing here."

Han Yi said: "Don't you go in and take a look? It is said that the most luxurious one is inside."

"never mind."

Zheng Shanxing said: "Don't get dirty."

The few people returned to the front yard and were unwilling to sit, as if they were afraid of dirtying their butts, so they stood in the yard.

Zheng Shanxing said: "I think it's really inappropriate to use such a place as an education bureau?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "As the Minister of Revenue, you can't think so. If you want to rebuild it, you will have to spend a lot of money. The court is not as rich as this."

Lu Shigua suddenly said: "One of the past dynasties, our dynasty is quite frugal, but you see that the prime minister's mansion is so luxurious, which is really worrying. I think the court must stop the spread of this trend, especially now that the country has become richer. If it is not controlled, I am afraid that this kind of unhealthy trend will become more and more prosperous."

Zheng Shanxing nodded straight.

In fact, Lu Shi Gua implies whether power and wealth will be colluded with when merchants develop.

Han Yi shook his head and said, "To be fair, this is difficult to stop. You really think that everyone is an official and hopes to be able to plead for the people. You have to lower the salary of officials to the standard of the Labor Act. In less than a year, either the court will be full of corrupt officials or they will leave without a single one. I think it is appropriate to pursue enjoyment. If you have the ability, then you are of course qualified to enjoy a better life.

The key is not to compare wealth. Look at these luxurious decorations, most of them are useless to life and cannot bring any convenience. They are purely to show off their wealth. For example, if you want to install a toilet, of course it is OK. Although the toilet is more expensive, it can indeed bring convenience to life. However, you must use gold to make this toilet, so there is no need."

Mr. Lu thought to himself, "Although you said it is not without reason, how can you distinguish the two?"

Han Yi said: "I think this kind of thing can only be influenced by trends."

Mr. Lu said curiously: "How do you say this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Simply put, if this style is not popular with everyone and everyone thinks it is very rustic and ugly, then everyone will naturally not decorate it like this. So to change this extravagant atmosphere, we must first change our aesthetic vision. In fact, what we have always pursued is elegance, elegance and artistic conception. Now we are the prime ministers. If we make the mansion elegant, simple, and simple, but at the same time, it can bring enjoyment and convenience in life and slowly lead the trend, then the rest of us will naturally imitate us, just like they imitate Xu Jingzong."

In the hexagram of Lu, Zheng Shanxing nodded slightly.

After a while, Lu Shigua smiled and said, "Shangshuling's insight into human nature is really convincing. I really hope that one day I will see your psychology works!"

Han Yi said: "That's not possible. I haven't read any books. I have only a little bit of my family's fortune, so I can't pass it on."

"Ha ha...."

Just then, a servant walked in with a wooden box and respectfully bowed to Han Yi.

Han Yi took the box directly and handed it to Lu Shi Gua.

Lu Shigua was stunned, "What is this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is my wish to my sister-in-law."

Mr. Lu still didn't meet the hexagram and said curiously: "Why?"

Han Yi said: "When Wuyi was pregnant, my sister-in-law was taking care of her. Now Feixue and Mengting both both troubled her sister-in-law. If I don't say it again, I really can't sleep or eat."

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary, you were also rewarded at that time."

Han Yi said: "Reward is reward, heart and mind, these are two different things. I believe that my sister-in-law helps her, not for money, there must be favors in it."

Lu Shigua hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder what is here?"

Han Yi said: "There are several bags I designed specifically for my sister-in-law. Don't ask me the price, because I don't know either. This is a bonus I get from the beauty of freedom."

Master Lu looked at Zheng Shanxing.

Zheng Shanxing nodded slightly.

The Lu Shi Gua opened it, took a look, then shook his head and said, "This is really too precious, I can't accept it."

Han Yi said: "Do you think this is more precious than my son? The reason why I designed it myself is to express my feelings. You should know that giving money is actually easier for me."

Zheng Shanxing smiled and nodded and said, "Brother Lu, I think he is saying it is reasonable."

The Lu Shi Gua still seemed a little hesitant and said, "Why don't you give it to your own son?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "That's because I know that my sister-in-law will definitely not want it."

Mr. Lu thought for a moment, then took it down and said, "Thank you."

Han Yi suddenly looked at Zheng Shanxing and said, "I thought you would talk to me about this bag."

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "There are many people who come to me to ask about this bag, but this little money is not a must."

Han Yi laughed and said, "I just like to do business with gentlemen. Let's wait for a while."

Zheng Shanxing nodded with a smile.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

Suddenly, Yan Liben walked in.

The three of them bowed their hands first, and Han Yi said again: "It's okay, it's okay, we've just arrived not long ago!"

Yan Liben is the chief designer, and he must be present for any changes.

Several people casually talked about how to transform it. The main reason was that Han Yi told Yan Liben some of his ideas on the construction of the Education Bureau.

"Oh... it's a pity that such a good mansion was demolished like this!"

After wandering around, Yan Liben looked at it and said with emotion.

Han Yi smiled and said, "If Shangshu Yan likes it, you can change it. You can live here and change your residence to the Education Bureau."

Yan Liben said in surprise: "Is it really OK?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course! I agree."

Yan Liben smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it, I have no blessing to save it!"

Several people walked around the mansion and went outside the mansion.

Han Yi looked at it and said, "The surrounding area is very quiet. I think we can get some stores here."

Yan Liben said: "It's not right to open a market next to the official office!"

In fact, before this, the court had decided to open the market, but Yan Liben did not intend to open the store next to the official office.

Han Yi smiled and said, "We moved the government out of the imperial city, just hoping to get together with the people. If the people dare not enter here, what is the point of doing this? Of course, it cannot be a market. I think we can put some four treasures of the study and bookstores here, which can also create an atmosphere of education and add glory to the Education Bureau."

Lu Shigua smiled and nodded, "This is a good idea."

Yan Liben nodded slightly and smiled again: "Those businessmen heard that they would allow shops to be opened on the streets in the future. They were asking people from the Ministry of Works every day for information, hoping to know where they could open shops."

Zheng Shanxing was a little worried and said, "Will this affect the citizens if the store is opened along the street? I think this should be carefully considered. I don't object to bookstores and chess clubs, because these places are very quiet, but restaurants, tea shops, and these are very noisy and will make the streets even more dirty."

Han Yi said: "Business pursues openness and complete closure. It is difficult for business to develop. In addition, the people have very much demand for this, because it was difficult to go to the market in the past. If it was too late today, it would be more beneficial to the lives of the people. But what you said is also a problem. Then you have to follow the court's idea of ​​inaction and governance. On the one hand, it is more open, but at the same time, it is necessary to formulate a set of rules. We can divide commercial areas and non-commercial areas according to the situation of each urban area. We cannot open shops or set up stalls to ensure that it will not interfere with the lives of the people, and at the same time bring convenience to the people. Of course, this can also reduce the burden on the court. With such a plan, the court can sell shops to merchants and make money from it. You know, the residential areas we built outside the city are not as simple as building a shed."

Lu Shigua smiled and said, "Although the queen advocates this Wuwei Rule, I think you use it better than the queen!"

Han Yi laughed and said, "This is my ability. I can always do something that makes the above happy."

"Haha..."nt
