As she said that, Shen Yu couldn't help but have a look of surprise flash across her face.

The emperor was not without reputation in the past.

The rectification of the clan and the debate on Confucian classics won the emperor a lot of prestige.

But, that was only among the scholars in the court.

The people don't care about your debate on scriptures or salt politics. Most people don't bother to care about what the emperor did.

In fact, if the year name hadn't been changed, I probably wouldn't have known about the replacement.

This time it's different.

The emperor's declaration of retreating from the imperial estate and publicizing the imperial estate actually attracted support from even the woodcutter and old peasants.

They even spontaneously spread the saying "Wanli and Wanli are encouraged by all the people".

Although it was only encouragement and not direct praise, it was in sharp contrast to Emperor Sejong's "Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean".

This is not a heaven-like virtue. What else is a heaven-like virtue?

When Shen Li heard this, he recalled what he had heard in the academy and couldn't help but smile with relief: "The majority of people are those who understand right and wrong. Emperor Sejong is carrying out large-scale construction projects, knocking bones and sucking marrow. Nowadays, people are strict in self-discipline and living with the people, so the people will naturally sing different nursery rhymes. "

Since Jiajing and Longqing, emperors have always been lone men who amassed wealth. Today's emperor is willing to take a step back for the first time. For the people, it is enough to make them grateful - the people of the Ming Dynasty have always had such low requirements.

Shen Yu followed her father and smiled.

Then he seemed to have thought of something again, and he said hesitantly: "However, there are rumors that the property disclosure may not only extend to the imperial property."

This is why the emperor is now taking the initiative to tie his own hands and feet, but his attitude is ambiguous in the court.

If the fire burns too brightly, it won't be fun if you burn yourself.

Shen Li turned to look at his son and replied seriously: "If His Majesty and the cabinet have this idea, I can sit upright, so what reason can I have to disagree?"

"If you are afraid of 'one day', then you might as well not take part in the current examination. You don't have to be an official."

There are still two months until the third subject examination of the Wanli Year, which is also the subject that Shen Yu will refer to this year.

Facing his father's rebuke, Shen Yu quickly explained: "Sir, that's not what I meant."

"I'm just worried that once the private property of hundreds of officials is involved, the resistance will be too great and the situation in the DPRK will be destabilized."

"Your Excellency has just fallen in love with Your Majesty again, and I'm even more worried that it will affect Your Majesty."

Shen Li's face looked better now.

If you have just taken the exam and start worrying about your property, then it is really better not to take the exam.

Fortunately, it didn't grow crooked.

He looked at his son, slowly shook his head, and said seriously: "This time, I am patrolling the fields as the censor of Qiandu. I have been involved in the situation for a long time. How can I be affected?"

When it comes to property disclosure, is the focus on property? Of course not, the focus is on the latter, property!

Don't look at the gold, silver, jewelry, and rare fabrics. They may sound priceless and wealthy, but they are just floating wealth.

What is the foundation of the world? It is acres!

The prosperity of the world lies in the fields, and the chaos in the world also lies in the fields.

The so-called publicity, the most important thing is to confirm the ownership of the land - even if the money can be hidden in the cellar without anyone noticing, the land owner cannot escape no matter how hard it is, and someone will always find out.

Arranging fields and confirming power are two sides of the same coin. How could Shen Li, the censor of Qiandu, inspect the fields and stay out of it?

After being cocooned, I finally realized what I was doing, and my face was cloudy and uncertain.

He hesitated to speak: "Sir..."

Shen Li waved his hand and interrupted him: "The examination is coming soon. You should focus more on your homework. If you fail the exam this time, you will have to add a math subject as a threshold for the next subject, which will add to the twists and turns." .”

He just changed the topic abruptly, but when he saw that his son wanted to talk more, Shen Li simply picked up the newspaper in the carriage and turned his head away: "Well, this matter will have to be discussed at least until the first month of the year. There is no final decision yet. What are you in a hurry for? Let’s wait until we get to the capital.”

After that, he leaned against the wall of the carriage, with his back to Shen Yu, and pretended to read the latest newspaper.

After a while.

There was no movement behind Shen Yu.

Shen Li relaxed and turned to look at the newspaper in his hand.

Ever since Sima Zhi broke Shen Li's deafness to the outside world, he could be said to have been publishing newspapers in various societies.

Yuan Hongyu's "Gewu Daily" is the slowest to update and the most obscure.

After Yuan Hongyu discussed Taoism with the emperor, he spent three years in seclusion. Now he combines epistemology and practice theory to create a new theory of studying things to achieve knowledge. He calls himself "Post-Neo-Confucianism".

Every time Shen Li reads it, he feels enlightened.

Just like an article last month, Shen Li was amazed by the analysis of "the connection between things in epistemology, whether they are isolated and single or universally coexisting".

Qian Dehong and Xue Yingqi, who founded Donglin Journal, passed away in recent years, and the newspaper was handed over to Gu Xiancheng.

Perhaps it is because of the years of hard work in Sichuan, but today's Donglin Journal has turned away from the past and turned to reality, and has gradually talked about the sufferings of the people's livelihood, the family, the country and the world.

In particular, an article last year, when explaining the so-called isomorphism of family and country, extended the view that "the development of things is an upward spiral", which was praised by people at the time.

The "South Zhili Daily" supervised by Li Chunfang was founded relatively late, but because it is endorsed by the News and Pages Department, it can be said to be the largest newspaper, covering everything from political affairs to pornography.

Last month, Li Chunfang teased Sun Piyang, the new governor of Yingtian, and the latter retaliated by giving him a potted plant.

For this reason, Li Chunfang, a maternal relative, was often laughed at by people at the time for talking about Yin and Yang and the planting of Piyang.

All in all, apart from the shortcoming of liking to play some vulgar jokes about regional discrimination between various provinces in South Zhili, South Zhili Daily is the most humorous and interesting - well, from a certain perspective, such vulgar jokes may not necessarily It's an unintentional shortcoming.

Of course, if Shen Li loves to read more, it must be the "Sun and Moon Morning Post", also commonly known as the Xinbao.

It is both interesting and serious, and its writing style and content coexist. It touches on all aspects of economics, current affairs, anecdotes, miscellany, practice, etc. It is undoubtedly the most popular newspaper.

It is also the newspaper that Shen Li is holding now.

Only when reading the latest newspapers, Shen Li could feel that under the current ruins of the Ming Dynasty, there were also new shoots that were sprouting.

For example, after the emperor visited Shuntian Mansion, he gave instructions on a series of bad policies. This was the vitality of the New Deal.

The Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant run by the Huguang clan has optimized its iron-making technology, which is the vitality of the clan's business.

The first trial run of a large shipping ship built by Longjiang Shipyard is the vitality of shipping.

And, in the Wanli Eleventh Year Examination, a new mathematics subject will be added, well... I cannot agree with this.

Shen Li couldn't help but shook his head, not knowing what was so good about mathematics.

Whatever you don’t like to see, there is just that.

This edition of the New Paper happened to print a mathematics article, which took up a lot of space.

The title is very eye-catching - "On the Critique of Mathematics since the Millennium and Its Future Development Direction".

If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Naihe will try and add it soon.

Shen Li could only hold his nose and calmly read the first edition of mathematics that he usually skipped - lest his son fail the exam this year and need to use these things three years later.

In addition to the eye-catching title of this article, there is also a commendation letter next to it.

The emperor used this article to commend the author, promoting him from a student to a scholar of Liangjiang, granting him a residence, a monthly salary, and the right to write memorials.

He even personally gave the author Liu Sanpao a calligraphy, saying, "Dunkai."

Shen Li curled his lips in dissatisfaction. What an honor it was. It was too much.

In fact, as a high-ranking courtier, he is more or less knowledgeable about numbers.

Even though the Imperial College was unwilling to take elective courses in the state school, it became a compulsory subject after becoming a Shujishi.

Even Sima Guang, his ancestor who was as staid as Sima Zhi, was also proficient in mathematics.

Why should the emperor favor him alone?

Shen Li dispersed his thoughts for a while, and then he started to read the text.

The article begins with a brief overview of the development of mathematics.

For example, counting, calendar requirements, rules, moments, standards, ropes and other measurement requirements are the beginning.

to the development of becoming one of the six arts of the gentleman.

and "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" and other works, a system of tools has been formed, which can be called mathematics.

With the prosperity of business in the former Song Dynasty, Yang Hui, Qin Jiushao, Zhu Shijie and others opened libraries to teach students, formed associations, and wrote books, which once brought mathematics to the peak of development.

Finally, there was an avalanche of collapse since this dynasty.

Shen Li read this sentence several times and couldn't help but shook his head. The emperor was still the same as before, and he had no taboo at all about such remarks that exposed his family's background.

Since the early Song Dynasty, in just a few hundred years, almost everyone in this dynasty could not understand the works of Song people such as Zhu Shijie and Qin Jiushao.

There is nothing wrong with saying it was an avalanche collapse.

But when it is published, it doesn’t look good - the progress of the Ming Dynasty compared to the previous Song Dynasty had better be comprehensive. Even if it is just counting the backwardness of heretics, there should not be any. Even if it is true, it should not be messed up everywhere. explain.

This is not what Shen Li thinks alone, but the consensus of most court officials.

Therefore, this statement could not have been published without the emperor's permission.
