The first thousand four hundred and seventy-seventh chapters
Chang Yi listened again and confirmed that he was right. He looked at Prince Oghou, "I am not from the imperial examination, I must study humbly. The prince should go to find others to become a disciple."
Prince Ogehou, "I am twenty years old. Now I start learning from literature. I don't know how many years it will take. I admire Master Zhou's deeds. I think I have good language talent, so I come to study it."
He was twenty years old and had no chance to go to the imperial examination. He could not follow the martial arts, so he could only think of other ways. It was impossible to marry the Zhou family. He did not think that his thoughts could be hidden from the Zhou family.
Now there is a marquis in the Russian tribe, and it is easy for the Zhou family to make things difficult for them. They were looking forward to a girl, but yesterday his mother wiped her tears when she came back from the palace. He couldn't even realize the reality.
Chang Yi looked at the prince with deep eyes. The prince was unwilling to short the famous prince and wanted to seek power. "I can't teach my disciples, so I ask the prince to ask Gao Ming for another one."
Prince Ogehou knew that he would not succeed at once, and smiled and said, "I am sincere and will let adults see my sincerity."
Lord Liu waited for the prince to leave and came over slowly, "How could this prince come to the Ministry of Rites to find you?"
Changyi, "I'm so immense."
Lord Liu nodded, "You can't deceive people with your eyes. You are indeed ambitious. If the court did not swallow the grassland, this person would be a disaster in many years."
Changyi agreed, "This ruthless man knows the best how his brothers died."
Lord Liu, "Then be careful, this person is the Lord who will not give up until he achieves his goal."
"Um."
The Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren didn’t have many responsibilities. During his cultivation, the Ministry of Revenue needed him to see other important things, but also relied on his own operation. When he was free, he thought about the orphans.
When Zhang Jinghong came in, Zhou Shuren came back to his senses and said, "Put the account book on the table."
Zhang Jinghong put down his account book, "Sir, this is the expense of the children in Dongcheng this month."
Zhou Shuren picked up the account book, "There are more than 150 children?"
Zhang Jinghong nodded, "Yes, it's better to send some children back."
Although the court did not promote it, the people in the capital were very gossiped, and many well-informed people found a place to throw their children away.
Zhou Shuren continued to look through and saw that older children ate coarse grains and fish cakes, two meals a day, younger children can drink finely ground corn paste. Even if the daily grain is fixed, the daily consumption of more than 150 children is not small, which is not enough for the food that the mother and others have.
Zhou Shuren closed the account book, "Tomorrow, some food and old clothes will be sent to the Ministry of Revenue. You are responsible for receiving and sending them there. After that, if there are too many old clothes, some of them will be left behind. This official will be useful."
Zhang Jinghong said: "The officials have recorded the old clothes and said that there are many old clothes from the servants in the government, which can also be sent to the Ministry of Revenue."
"Okay, I thank you for the children."
Zhang Jinghong felt embarrassed, "I can't bear to thank the children, so I will go down first."
Zhou Shuren and Zhang Jinghong left, opened the account book again, took out the blank comments, wrote the expenses and other data, and then expressed the suggestions one by one, and finally wrote about the benefits to the court. The comments were completed in one go, and carefully checked that there were no omissions to put the comments.
In the afternoon, when Zhou Shuren went to the yamen, he met his second son, "Why aren't you waiting for me in the carriage?"
"Son didn't wait for a while, Dad, be careful that it snows a little slippery."
Zhou Shuren was fucked by his son onto the carriage and waited for Changyi to come up, "You have something to do if you pick me up?"
Chang Yi talked about what happened today, "I'm not a little bit."
Zhou Shuren touched his beard, "Marquis Oge has an advantage over the other marquis. His daughter is a concubine in the palace. If she is honest and can live a peaceful life, there will be no blessings for the other monarchs. I will not cherish the blessings!"
Aruna's pregnancy is fake, and this is a merit. As long as the Ogehou is honest, the emperor will have some affection for the Oge tribe. If he makes trouble, the emperor's affection will be gone.
Chang Yi was speechless, "Why are there any girl in the palace? Now I am not honest in cultivating my juniors. The more I struggle, the more I mess with the emperor."
Zhou Shuren touched his beard, "Because people's hearts are not enough."
The next morning court, Zhou Shuren was the first to stand up and handed the note in his hand. His voice was heartbroken, "Last year, the bilateral war destroyed many families in our court and made many children lose their fathers. In recent days, whenever I think of pensions, I think of my son who has passed away from defending my country. I can't sleep at night."
In fact, the ministers in the court were a little confused. After hearing these words, they could not understand Zhou Shuren's thoughts.
Zhou Shuren paused and continued: "I was born in the countryside. I know best how the people live. A family has no pillars and life is very difficult. It is better to have an eldest son in the family to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, but I am afraid that the woman will be young and the children will be young. After getting married, the husband will follow his son. If the son is young, a woman can only obey the elders to remarry. Of course, there are also strong-willed women who can take on the responsibility of supporting the family, but there are very few."
The emperor had finished reading the note and handed it to the prince.
Some of the ministers still didn't understand it, and some caught some of Zhou Shuren's ideas.
Zhou Shuren continued: "What should a woman remarry, what should a child do? Although she can stay in her family or remarry with her mother, the country has reduced grain production last year and lacks food nationwide. How long can a help from a relative last? How much food can a relative get if she remarries with her mother? These children are the descendants of heroes who defend the country. They deserve better care and should become useful people like their parents."
Now everyone understands Zhou Shuren’s idea. Some people are very moved. Of course, most of them are military generals, and there are fewer civil servants. Who makes most civil servants come from aristocratic families and don’t have a deep understanding? Don’t expect the powerful and noble families to be more sympathetic!
Mr. Wang went to the morning court today. Yesterday, Zhou Shuren was angry with him. He thought it was a good thing, whether it was for the country or the people.
Mr. Wang stepped forward, "I can't let the dead heroes be cold, I'll discuss it."
Then someone agreed that the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of grain and silver, and the Ministry of Revenue took the lead. They didn't have to worry about silver and grain. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor agreed.
The emperor did agree that he thought more. Aristocratic families and powerful people occupied resources, and it was difficult for poor families to study. There seemed to be many scholars across the country, but not many, and most scholars were occupied by aristocratic families.
Gather children's teachings, brainwash them from an early age and are more loyal to the royal family, and can also cultivate talents to compete for resources from the aristocratic families in the future.
Moreover, the orphans of these soldiers were also propaganda to the court, and the recruitment of troops would be smoother in the future.
Zhou Shuren understood the emperor's ideas, so the memorials focused on the benefits of raising these children. In ancient feudal people were controlled, he slowly planted seeds, and sooner or later the seeds could germinate and grow into big trees.
The time is good now, and the right time, place and people are all occupied. The same is lacking. If he wants to run an orphanage, he will have many obstacles. Now all aspects are beneficial to the royal family, and there is also a big banner to defend the country, which is much easier.
When the aristocratic family reacted, the emperor had already taken all the initiative, and the emperor wanted to weaken the influence of the aristocratic family, so he naturally would not give in.
Although he cannot see the future, his descendants will see it.
After the morning court, Zhou Shuren was left by the emperor and had to discuss it carefully. Zhou Shuren said to the emperor: "First of all, we must count how many orphans are orphans and how many are abused. The court must be clear in our minds so as not to be unprepared enough."
The prince frowned, "Are he abused?"
Zhou Shuren looked at the prince with caring eyes, "How many people have stepfathers and mothers become stepfathers, and similarly, many people have stepfathers and fathers become stepfathers. Abuse often occurs, and some of them are exploited at the home of uncles who are ignorant of conscience. Some children's growth is not good, and King Qin was abused a lot when he was a child."
The prince was humble, "I still know too little about the people's homes. I will go to the village more often in the future."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows and had to admit that the prince, as the heir, is a blessing for the people, "the prince is a great charity."
The emperor was also very pleased and said, "Who do you think is appropriate to be responsible for this matter?"
Zhou Shuren's plan was particularly loud, "I think no one except the emperor can do it. Royal orphanage? What does the emperor think?"
