Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 312 Reading and Happiness

Shen San asked.

Let me share with you my personal experience first.

Like everyone in the audience, I have children and I am the father of two children.

I should know everyone better than the other three. I never expect the children to be rich and powerful, I just want them to be safe.

Of course, while being safe, it would be even better to be rich.

When I first became a father, I was nervous but also very happy.

I don't know what to do, I'm afraid I can't do it well, no one has taught me how to be a father, and I don't know what kind of father my child wants.Is it harsher or milder.

A lot of work has been done on this.

I have consulted many people who are known as good at teaching their children, how they teach their children to be sensible and promising. When I meet such a talented person, I want to know who his father is, and then learn and learn some experience. .

As long as my son is good, I am happy as a father.

After the children grew up, I hired a teacher for them and taught them to read. Later, the elders sent them to the family school. I was worried that my son would be taught badly. My wife and I checked every teacher to see how their character and knowledge were. Like, whether the reputation is good or not, whether the son likes it or not.

Of course, he didn't know any of this.

I think you have the same heart as mine.

The village likes bullies who bully people for no reason, and children who don't learn well will also tell the children to stay away from them and not to hurt themselves.

A father will protect his child and want to prepare the best for his child so that he can live a better life.

All parents in the world are the same, so I am here to share some personal thoughts with you.

Now, Dazhou has introduced education reform policies, and soon, every child will have books to read.

I believe that you are also very entangled and don't know what to do.

It is of course good to be able to read, but a scholar is not necessarily nobler than a farmer. Some people have a dark heart, and they may be bullied by rich people when they go to school. These are all problems.

And money, too, would be a big problem.

You may think that it is impossible for the country to pay for your children to study. It is not easy for a poor family to support a child, and even fight for a place in a school. How come this year, there is such a policy suddenly.

Speaking of this, we need to say a conclusion first.

Whether a person lives well does not depend on whether his material life is rich or not. No matter where he lives, he sleeps on the street, in a dilapidated thatched hut in a mountain temple, or in a high bed with soft pillows, or in a palace with a house. Or no house, but to see their mood.

Some people will feel happy if they can eat steamed buns every day, some people will be satisfied only if they earn more money and surpass others, and some people will be happy only if they have power and trample everyone under their feet.

Therefore, people do not live in the house, but in their emotions.

Educating children is to educate them to experience the joy of being human, to control their emotions, and to be their own masters.

So here comes the question again, how can I make myself happy, if I don’t know how to be happy, how can I let my children know the truth of being happy?
Someone may ask, what does how to behave and how to be happy have anything to do with this policy?
Could this policy still make many people happy?Aren't many people against it?Whose happiness is it? It is worth everyone's hard work together, so that Quan Dazhou can cooperate!

Is that the official?Is the opposing family still a humble official?
Speaking of this, everyone should have guessed that this person can only be one person, and that is His Majesty the Emperor.

Only the wish of His Majesty the Emperor is worth all the effort regardless of the cost, and it is worth emptying the treasury and spending many years to create a bright future for Da Zhou and fight for a future for the common people of the world.

Maybe you don’t believe it, but the most worrying thing is that the children won’t be able to eat in the future. The most important thing is to teach them how to eat first. Your Majesty thinks so much, it’s better to distribute two catties of food, anyway, the children may not be able to study well.

Is it because His Majesty is stupid?
That is certainly not the case.

Under what circumstances do people feel happy? Many people have never thought about this question. After thinking about it for a long time, I have the answer.

There are only two situations, one is when there is progress, today is better than yesterday, and this moment is better than the last moment, whether it is financial or emotional, or even the progress of loved ones, as long as there is growth, the mentality will become better good.The other is when giving, when helping others, when interacting with others, one's own value is proven, communication between people, expansion of network, when willing to give and able to give, there will be bursts of happiness .

If you haven't been in the field for a few days, you will think about whether there is grass growing, whether there are pests growing in the farmer, and you will not feel at ease if you don't move. If weeding and killing insects, it is a kind of progress.

No one likes a boring life. They eat the same food every day, get the same harvest, and get the same income. When they stand still, pain will take advantage of it.

Because at this time, the happiness you once gained has become something you already have, and the happiness you got when you got it has decayed, and standing still is going backwards, just like you lost important people or wealth.

If a person only knows how to do evil, most people will respond with an eye for an eye. When they can't find new fun, they are constantly hurt by others, and it will be even more difficult to reap happiness.

Neighbors help each other, give each other, and take turns to solve problems.

What about Your Majesty?

Your Majesty is far more comfortable being the queen mother than being the emperor. Many people know the king of Luling, but everyone may not know what kind of person the king of Luling is.I know that King Luling is the same as many bear children. He is willing to give the best things to his most important people. When he gets a treasure, he will first think about whether his mother and wife like it or not, and he is very filial.

What the queen mother said, what should he do.Whatever Princess Webster wants, he will agree to it as much as possible.

Because those are the people he really cares about, his happiness is to give happiness to the people he cares about.

But His Majesty is different. His Majesty and Emperor Gaozong have governed this country for decades, witnessed the victory of every war in the Tang Dynasty and the improvement of people's livelihood, and have very strong feelings for the country and the people.

The emperor's family regards the world as their private property. For Mingjun, if the people's life is not as good as when the first emperor was in power, it is a regression and dereliction of duty. It is the same as your feelings when you see the harvest decrease at the end of the year.

Therefore, there is today's education reform.His Majesty hopes to create a prosperous and powerful empire, not a world where rich men, wine, meat and roads are frozen to death.And education is the beginning of changing all this. Reading gives everyone the opportunity to re-understand the world, no longer stick to one's background, and hold destiny in one's own hands.

Your Majesty can use the children of poor families, as well as your descendants. As long as they have real talents, they can make the lives of the people under their rule better.

Reading has many functions, and being an official through the imperial examination is only one of them. It can also enrich life, communicate with others with eloquence and eloquence, solve problems in life, and so on.

I will also give you an example.

When you see a beautiful woman, what would you say if you haven't read the book, this person is so beautiful, so beautiful, even more beautiful than the widow Wang in the village.

What people who have read the book will say, this woman has a beautiful face, her eyebrows are affectionate, she is ashamed as a fish falls into a wild goose, her hands are soft and her skin is as white as snow, she makes people fall in love at first sight, like a fairy down to earth.

If you were a woman, what kind of compliment would you like?
From being really beautiful to describing the beauty of appearance in detail, this is the role of reading to enrich knowledge.

Of course, this is just an intuitive and superficial benefit, what is deeper?

There is a saying in the ancients that there is a poetic and bookish spirit in one's stomach. He said that reading is to make a person talented and arrogant, and his temperament is exuded from the inside out.

Reading poetry and books can enhance a person's inner being, that is, let a person have mature concepts and ways of doing things.The process of owning one's own ideas and ways of doing things is what I call growth.Learn to distinguish right from wrong and recognize yourself from the different articles and opinions of many people.

The book is the experience of the predecessors. When the people around him are not able to guide them in the direction of their progress and efforts, it will take him to experience a different life and realm, and let him mature slowly.

Education is absolutely necessary for them. For the things they don’t understand, they can find the answers from the books, and then combine them with realistic analysis to let them read as much as possible to arm their minds. This will become their advantage in life in the future.

If you can read and understand the things in the book, you can learn more experience even if you are farming, so that you can grow better.In the future, your children and grandchildren can teach you what you don't understand.

This is what I want to say to you today, read books and embrace a better future.

After Shen Sanwen finished speaking, the audience fell into a brief silence, and needles could be heard in silence.

This passage is really thought-provoking!

Unhappy because there is no progress, helping others is the second source of happiness.

They usually help others, but they don't think so much, they just do what they want. Now that I think about it, it's just what the son-in-law said.

People live in their own emotions, and it has nothing to do with whether they are rich or not.It's really like this, there are many people who are not as good as my own, and they have more smiles than my own.

If you want to live happily, you must start with your own changes, become better, progress and grow, and you will have long-term happiness.

These words brought a lot of inspiration to his three subordinates. If they made a good summary when they came to the stage, put forward the truth, and then broke it down, would they be as convincing as the son-in-law?

Several people carefully wrote down the important content of this speech, and at the same time began to carefully consider the details of the son-in-law's speech.

It's so hard to do!
They can only take it slowly, the son-in-law is not an ordinary person, his ideological realm is so easy to reach.They are so lucky to be able to follow such a master, learn by his side, and even one day learn his philosophy and principles of life, learn his means and methods of speech, and spread these.

too excited.

The farmers in the audience were also thinking, what this master said was really reasonable and he knew a lot.They can understand every sentence, but they can't think and say it together.

Unlike the first master who couldn’t understand what he said, the second master said it was good, although the third master had a good intention, but who can guarantee that he will be in high school, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the imperial examination is too difficult, and he failed The whole family will be hit hard.

Also, the fourth master said that His Majesty really planned to run education, and the officers and soldiers brought them here, so it must be true.

It's really great, they have worked in the fields all their lives, and they can still make their babies recognize characters. They were born in a good era and have a good emperor.

It's a pity that I can only choose one teacher. It would be great if all these dignitaries could teach their own children.

If you choose this, will you really teach their children yourself?A good teacher and student can already be regarded as a good background!

The excitement of the farmers in the audience was beyond words, with smiles on their excited faces.When the first three people talked about it, they were still calm, but after Shen Sanwen's analysis, they really believed it.

If King Luling is not filial, His Majesty will not let him come back, will he?Your Majesty must be a person with ambitions and ideals. He is not a fool, not for the sake of glory and wealth, but truly treats the people of the world as her subjects.

Have a good time in the future.

Shen Sanwen left a short period of time for everyone to think about it. He talked too much. I hope it will be useful to those who attended the meeting today. It would be the best if they can gain something.

Then start to introduce them to the voting rules.

Each person has two small pieces of paper as votes, and they are asked to vote for the wife they most want to choose for their children. They can vote for one person or two.

Four people lined up as candidates on the stage, and a wooden box was placed in front of each person.There is also a recycling box at the end. If you are not satisfied, you can put the ticket into the recycling box.

These farmers voted very honestly, and they all voted according to their own wishes.

There were two votes in the recycling box, Shen Sanwen got the majority, followed by Ouyang Lin with five votes, Wu Shengyu with three votes, and Wang Cheng with one vote.

In the internal competition, there was no voting session after the end, Wang Cheng's face turned red like a persimmon, it was so embarrassing!A lone vote.

Shen Sanwen naturally wouldn't have any fluctuations because of this result, after all there were people who abstained from voting!
It's too embarrassing, he failed to win everyone.

Now this result is barely passable, everyone else gets a single ticket, and the other ticket belongs to him.

After counting the votes, Shen Sanwen first thanked everyone for their support, and then briefly explained the purpose of this selection to these [-] people, and promised to pay attention to their children's enrollment, and hoped that everyone would support his work.

These people were then asked to leave.

Shen Sanwen became serious all of a sudden, and sternly reprimanded several subordinates, "What did you all say? Hmm? A group of peasants can't be persuaded, and they still expect you to carry forward the great educational cause! A five-vote nothing!
Look at your speeches, especially Wu Shengyu, his attitude is perfunctory and extremely bad. What can this do?

The next competition will be held in three days, practice a lot, start by convincing your parents, relatives and friends, train your ability well, and win this resolute task. "

　Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　　Already crazy.
