Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 572 Zhu Youxiao smiled: Do you want to test the sharpness of my knife?
That is the contemporary Shennong!

It is a god who can increase food production and save tens of millions of lives!

How dare these Hanlin scholars destroy the hopes of millions of ordinary people!
"Why are they scholars beating Wang Xueshi?!"

"How many common people's lives can be saved by Wang Xueshi's achievements, why would they dare to beat Wang Xueshi?!"

"Is there still a king's law in this Ming Dynasty? Wang Xueshi is a great benefactor, a great benefactor of the common people!"

"Punish these people severely!"

"Yes, punish them severely!"

"It's these people who ruined the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing the anger of the common people, as if they wished to swallow Zhou Jie and others alive, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei also knew why the dog emperor called his ministers and common people here. Heart!
But here is the fact that, as ministers of the cabinet, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei also have real talents and real learning. They naturally understand the importance of Wang Lichen, so they dare not talk too much about this matter. To put it bluntly, the common people will scold them bloody if they fail.

Everyone wants to be famous, who wants to be spit on by ordinary people?
The two looked at each other, and both saw each other's bitter expression: It is really getting harder and harder for the pure Confucian scholars of the Donglin Party to survive in the court.

Daming now doesn’t want to talk about these things, and even being a county magistrate has to rely on his master to handle government affairs. He is a scholar who only knows how to recite poems and write Fu, and criticize the government.

Zhu Youxiao is very satisfied with the reaction of the common people, the public opinion is like this, if Zhou Jie and these old scholars don't give me a satisfactory answer, then don't blame me for attacking hard.

Ever since, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhou Jie: "Let him get up, I have something to ask him."

After Jin Yiwei let go of Zhou Jie, Zhou Jie got up and straightened his clothes, then looked at Zhu Youxiao, as if waiting for Zhu Youxiao to admit his mistake.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frowned:

"Zhou Jie, let me ask you, the chemical fertilizer researched by Xueshi Wang can increase the grain yield per mu and benefit the people all over the world. It can make the people eat enough and the family has surplus food. But you trespassed on the Academy of Engineering and beat up Bachelor Wang!"

"Zhou Jie! Do you think you are right or wrong now? Who is the real pillar of the imperial court, the virtuous and talented national scholar?"

Zhou Jie held his head high and held his chest high, without the slightest trace of guilt or regret: "Go back to the emperor, I have nothing wrong with you!"

"The ministers couldn't bear to see the emperor indulging in strange skills and ingenuity, slacking off in government affairs, so they acted angrily!"

"Your Majesty, a craftsman is a lowly person. If you have been obsessed with craftsmanship, who in the world will bury their heads in farming? Who will deal with government affairs in various places? Therefore, what the ministers do is for the country and the people! In this world, A farmer is a farmer, a craftsman is a craftsman, a farmer should work honestly, and a craftsman should do what a craftsman should do."

"He is a humble craftsman, instead of working honestly, he studies this kind of fertilizer. What is his intention?!"

"And what's the difference between [-] catties of grain and [-] catties of grain per mu? Don't all people in the world eat the same grain and pay the same tax?"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, governing the country and worrying about farming and mulberry are the business of scholars like me. He is a lowly craftsman who knows neither the Four Books and Five Classics nor the meaning of the sages. He can't even write stereotyped essays. What can he do? Can you be an official appointed by the imperial court, and be an official in the same dynasty as our imperial examination scholars?"

"Because he researched a kind of fertilizer that can increase food production? Then, as scholars, we are herding the people for the emperor and governing the world. Isn't our contribution greater than that of him, a craftsman who only knows how to do farm work?"

"In all dynasties, we, the scholars, have learned the classics of the sages, read poetry and books, and have the world in mind! There are good strategies for helping the world and the people, and governing the country. Come on, it is the law of the ancestors, the law of the world, how can it be lightly changed?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't study the classics and righteousness of the sage's words, how can you help the world and the people? This craftsman is only proficient in literature and ink, and doesn't understand Confucianism at all. He is also worthy of writing articles for the world to read? He is also worthy of being a pillar of the imperial court. Talented scholar? What kind of talent is he if he doesn’t understand the theory of saints?!”

"As for the emperor, you said that he rewarded him because he studied the fertilizers that can increase production, but I think this is a way to harm the country! If fertilizers are popularized, and farmers Li and Shu use fertilizers to increase production, who will work hard on the fields? The court Where did the tax come from? The farmers don’t work hard anymore, and the craftsmen go to study fertilizers and machinery one by one. Is this world still my Ming’s world?”

"I believe that the manure should be discarded and Wang Lichen should be dismissed! He will punish the whole world with the canon of Ming Dynasty! How would the people know that food is hard to come by without hard work? How can the craftsmen be honest and work for the court when their minds are active?"

"If things go on like this, if the cart is turned upside down, the world will inevitably be in chaos!"

"This world will eventually need scholars like me to govern. Farmers don't need to read and write, they just need to know how to work in the fields. Craftsmen are not allowed to design strange skills, as long as they can do their work."

"In this way, the world can be stable, and the Ming Dynasty can enjoy long-term peace and stability! Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen all perform their own duties, and the emperor will rule under his bow. The world will surely be peaceful, and three generations can be expected."

"Today, what I have done in the Academy of Engineering has no selfish intentions. It is for the sake of the country and the people. Please also check it out!"

"I implore the emperor to educate the benevolent emperors of the past dynasties, abolish the tyranny, and put the world's scholars first!"

Listening to Zhou Jie's nonsense, Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed. Obviously, Zhu Youxiao is very angry now.

These Hanlin officials are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and they only talk empty words. Up to now, they are still talking hard here, saying that what is really black is white, and what is white is black.

It's not just as simple as turning black and white to confuse the public. This is insinuating that he is lewd and immoral, and he is not a benevolent lord.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Zhu Youxiao said, "Very good, very good!"

"The good deeds that benefited all people have become evil things that have harmed the country and the people, but you have become honest, loyal and brave ministers of our Ming Dynasty. It seems that our Ming Dynasty cannot do without you people."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked at the old Hanlin academics on the other side: "You have seen the facts, and you have heard Zhou Jie's remarks. What are you talking about now?"

"Do you also think that Wang Xueshi is a person who brings disaster to the country and the people?"

The old pedant poked his neck: "Your Majesty!"

"Even if he has researched fertilizers that can increase grain production, how can this be done by him alone? If there are no scholars like me to govern the world and herd the people, how can the people work hard and cultivate the fields?"

"Therefore, I believe that editor Zhou is correct! The world of Ming Dynasty is governed by scholars like us. Artisans and farmers don't need any tricks, and farming is what they should do."

"It's just a bunch of illiterate Li Shu who don't understand the theory of saints. They don't deserve the emperor's attention at all!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled: I want to try my knife, is it sharp?
