Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 342 Not Objecting, But Not Advocating

Today's court meeting was somewhat beyond Feng Yibo's expectations.

It has been half a month since the memorial of [-] Japanese women applying for "migrant workers across the sea" has been handed in.

But since then, there has been no movement in the hall.

According to Feng Yibo's original guess, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet must not be able to agree directly.

After all, Great Wei is not a country like Wa, but a country of etiquette.

After all, we still have to face.

It's not easy to talk about such an indecent thing in the open.

So Feng Yibo felt that Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet's attitude towards this matter should probably be...

Not against it, but not advocating it either.

To put it bluntly, the emperor and the cabinet adopted a tacit attitude in order to receive the compensation as soon as possible.

If something happens in the future, someone will impeach it.

For example, criticizing Japanese women for destroying the atmosphere of the Great Wei.

At that time, the cabinet can arrange for someone to stand up.

It is proposed to respect the customs of other countries and strengthen the education of Wei.

For the established facts, it is necessary to show Wei's tolerance.

In a word, it is the same as Feng Yibo's current state, fully pointing out the skills of Tai Chi and football kicking.

The result of all impeachments is nothing.

But what Feng Yibo didn't expect was that Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet want more and play more smoothly than he imagined.

"It's a great thing for a Japanese girl to travel across the ocean to work in the Great Wei!"

"That's right! There were similar incidents in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that the current national power of our Great Wei has already reached the state of prosperity?"

"'When barbarians enter China, China will come', this is the tolerance of the Great Wei!"

"..."

After the official of the servant class briefly stated the request of the Wa country, some people in the court hall praised it vigorously.

Obviously, the attitude of Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet.

It's not the acquiescence that Feng Yibo thought.

Instead, he chose to report the matter, throwing it out in advance.

This is to avoid future thunderstorms, and some people use this to attack.

But the difference is that Feng Yibo reported the truth!

He not only said that the Japanese women went to sea to work, but that they might turn into prostitutes.

The possible consequences are also speculated and reported in full.

However, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet did not mention prostitution at all.

Just avoid the important and ignore the minor, saying that the country of Wa wants to export female workers to the Great Wei.

By the way, Ha said that the money earned will also be used for early repayment.

How did the ministers object to this?

Of course, apart from some people praising, it is inevitable that there will be some different voices.

"'Those who are not of our race will have different hearts'. If these Japanese women come to Dawei, we should pay close attention to them."

What to focus on?
If you pay attention, you will be exposed?
"Although the words are good, but in my vast country, only tens of thousands of Japanese women come to work. It's like a trickle flowing into the sea, and it can't stir up big waves."

If you're talking about going to sea, that's true.

"Yes, 10 people sounds like a lot, but half of them went to Donghai County and other countries in Southeast Asia. There were hundreds of counties along the coast of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the remaining tens of thousands of people were scattered, and there were no more than 80 people in one place."

One Japanese women's house in one county, it seems that the price will not be too outrageous.

Blessed are the young and old along the coast!
"..."

These people's words sound like they have some objections.

But in fact, it is still not against it.

Although there is a debate between Hua and Barbarians, there is also the self-confidence of the kingdom of heaven inside and outside the words.

It can't be said that it is useless, but it is relatively cautious.

At least know to keep an eye on developments.

It's a pity that you know these things as soon as you hear them.

Obviously it was also arranged by Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet.

So Feng Yibo couldn't stop laughing when he heard these remarks.

At this moment, Zhang Songyue in the front row looked back at him.

Feng Yibo immediately waited for plastic surgery, and returned with a polite smile.

Zhang Song looked sideways at him for a while, then turned back without saying anything.

He seemed to be an old god, but in fact he was very depressed these few days because of Liu Zheng's affairs.

Originally, he thought that provoking Feng Yibo was nothing.

But now he has really tasted the bitter fruit.

Recently, under the instigation of Feng Yibo, his beloved disciple Liu Zheng began to use the words of the sage to create "unity of knowledge and action".

It would be fine if he was really engaged in learning, but he encouraged a group of passionate supervisors in the Imperial College.

While starting to promote the "unity of knowledge and action", it is also necessary to implement the "Punishment of the Gentleman".

Among the prison students, there are many playboys who followed suit.

They don't know much about learning, but they really go up in fighting.

For a while, there was a miasma everywhere.

Compared with before, there are occasional conflicts between dudes.

Now it has extended to the court, and one of the officials of the Kodao was beaten.

Obviously he was fighting for the wind in the brothel, but the dude said that he was "firm in action and arguing in false words".

He also said that a beating would be light.

If you meet him belittle a prostitute again, you will be punished with "Punishment of a Gentleman".

And the Kodao spokesperson just said:
"It's just a prostitute, why pretend to be a chaste and martyr?"

In this way, people said that he belittled others and was "initiating and firm".

The key point is that there is some truth in it, so he can't tell if he is really suffering.

There have been countless such things recently, and many people have already reported to Zhang Songyue.

Even the Guozijian Jijiu in the capital found him in tears.

Said that the management was not good, and he wanted to resign and return to his hometown.

These facts are making Zhang Song more and more dizzy.

And the source of these things is that he let Liu Zheng deceive Feng Yibo.

At this time, there was harmony in the court hall, but Zhang Songyue suddenly called out:
"General Feng, you are the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and you are in charge of overseas affairs. Why don't you tell me your views on this matter in the Japanese kingdom."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo immediately stepped out and saluted Bibi Dan.

Then he saluted Zhang Songyue again, and said neither humble nor overbearing:

"All the suggestions of the subordinate officials have been written in the memorial, and everything else is only up to the decision of the Holy Majesty and the elders."

Whether it can be said or not.

He has already written it down in the memorial.

At this time Zhang Songyue asked him, Feng Yibo would naturally not disrupt the stage.

But I will never really express my opinion here.

No matter what is said at this time, it will be counted on him, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, when the accounts are settled in the future.

But he doesn't say anything now, and he can read his memorial in the future.

To show that I have already persuaded him.

Unless Emperor Jingshun and Zhang Songyue were looking for boredom, they would definitely not do this.

Seeing that Feng Yibo was still slippery, Zhang Songyue nodded in satisfaction.

Naturally, he didn't want Feng Yibo to tell the truth, but he was sure that he wouldn't tell.

Asking now is just to ask him for an attitude.

Seeing Feng Yibo like this, he and Emperor Jingshun looked at each other, then nodded slightly.

Without waiting for the officials to discuss again, Zhang Songyue said directly:

"That's the end of the discussion about the Japanese girl crossing the sea to work. Since the Japanese country wants to repay the compensation in advance, Wei should also give some convenience."

These words are the final conclusion. Even if it is revealed in the future, the cabinet is full of heart for the country.

As for the atmosphere and the like, Feng Yibo didn't say anything today, and he won't say it again in the future.

Such a situation is naturally not something that the cabinet could "predict".

Seeing this, the waiter officer immediately stepped forward and announced:
"Proceed to the next item of the court meeting..."

Seeing this, Feng Yibo smiled slightly.

Up to now, no matter what happens with the Japanese woman, she has nothing to do with him anymore.

Actually, what he didn't know was.

After the memorial was delivered, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet were shocked by the operation of the Wa Kingdom.

Shocked, everyone remained silent.

No matter how disgraceful Japan's deeds were, no one raised objections.

Even after the silence, some cabinet ministers made excuses for the future.

This is almost the same as what Feng Yibo thought.

It is nothing more than to classify this as the custom of the Japanese country.

Although the rest of the cabinet ministers felt that it was inappropriate, they were also worried that doing so would ruin the atmosphere of the Great Wei.

But under the temptation of repayment in advance, no one can refuse it.

At this time, other people in the cabinet began to find excuses for this.

Regardless of the customs of the country, it is still an argument to save more women from the Wei Dynasty from suffering.

Neither Emperor Jingshun nor Zhang Songyue nodded.

Without him, it's still the same sentence.

After all, the Great Wei Dynasty was the kingdom of heaven.

Although I want money, I also want face!

In the end, Zhang Songyue set the tone:
Most of what Feng Yuan said in the memorandum are personal conjectures.

The Great Wei has always been lenient to people, and the Wa Kingdom also recognizes the status of the Great Wei vassal.

Now that the agreement and terms have been signed, they have rebuilt their old relationship.

Therefore, the diplomatic relations between the two countries should not be affected by personal speculation.

As for the situation of those women from the Japanese country, these Duanfang veterans can only be the same as Feng Yibo.

With a sigh, let it go.

After all, whether it is Feng Yibo or the cabinet.

The people of Great Wei still couldn't care less.

In this matter, the most worrying thing is whether the atmosphere of Da Wei will be affected.

How can there be leisure and leisure, caring about the life and death of the Japanese girl?
The matter of the Japanese woman is settled.

After coming down to court, Feng Yibo was going to meet Prince Zhongshun.

Earlier, he had promised Jia Lian that he would see the King of Beijing County.

But before that, he had to meet Prince Zhongshun first.

This is to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Prince Zhongshun holds the Dragon Scale Guard in his hands, and must be watching his every move.

Even if there is no one from him in his own mansion, there must be someone around King Beijing.

For example... Feng Ziying.

Now that it is almost the end of the year, no one will mention the terms for the time being.

It is also time to stabilize both sides of the founding of the country and the upstarts.

Feng Yibo was walking away when someone called to stop him from behind.

"Stay in one blog!"

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was Liu Zheng.

Feng Yibo stopped in his tracks, turned around and said with a smile:

"Brother Haoran has been making a lot of noise recently, and I heard that you are the leader of the dudes in the capital."

Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin have been inseparable recently. Hearing Feng Yibo's words, Liu Zheng was still smiling wryly, so Yang Mingxin said:

"Yibo, when will you have a follow-up on your physics? My mind is full of those experiments recently, and I can't taste it anymore!"

Ever since he saw that "Physics" elementary textbook last time, Yang Mingxin has been obsessed.

When he saw Feng Yibo at this time, he asked about "Physics".

"I've already searched for Mohist classics, but I'm not as thorough as yours. If you have nothing to do, don't delay. Hurry up and carry forward this knowledge!"

After that time, in order to study the "integration of knowledge and action", the three of them got together many times,

Every time Yang Mingxin must ask questions about "Physics".

Seeing that he was interested, Feng Yibo lent him the edited second volume.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mingxin became even more excited after reading it.

"Brother Xinmin is embarrassing me!"

Seeing the helplessness on this face, Feng Yibo smiled wryly again and said:
"You have read two volumes. You should know that "Physics" is a time-consuming and labor-intensive subject. With my spare time, how can I come up with new ones so quickly?"

In fact, it's not that he doesn't have time, it's just that he only remembers these things.

For example, in terms of mechanics, he has already figured out the three laws and formulas of classical mechanics.

He did remember some formulas involving heat and electricity.

But it's too early to write it out now.

Going down, it's really not something that a liberal arts student like him can do.

Seeing the disappointment on Yang Mingxin's face, Feng Yibo hurriedly changed the subject and asked:
"Brother Haoran, are you looking for me for something?"

The three of them didn't get together for nearly half a month, and Liu Zheng made a big commotion in the capital.

At this time, I called him to stop, probably to report the results.

"It's nothing else, just want to ask, when will we get together again."

Liu Zheng smiled, and said:

"I have been doing what we said recently, and I have some new ideas about the 'unity of knowledge and action'. I will communicate with you when I have time."

Although Feng Yibo just teased him as the "head of the dude", Liu Zheng has been enjoying himself recently.

He gained a great reputation among the students by promoting the "unity of knowledge and action".

Although not all positive, according to what Feng Yibo said before.

This is called "black red is also red".

And thinking of the ups and downs in the capital recently, all have something to do with Liu Zheng, Feng Yibo reminded:
"The most important thing in the unity of knowledge and action is to practice true knowledge. Now you have taken the first step, but don't forget to be honest and sincere, and don't be led astray by others."

In the beginning, it was Feng Yibo who made Liu Zheng go to extremes,
In order to gain attention, I hope more people can pay attention to it.

But thinking of the recent situation in the capital, Feng Yibo couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Once a person becomes "red", it is easy to lose himself.

Although Liu Zheng is a modest gentleman, he has not undergone such baptism after all.

In case he couldn't bear it, Feng Yibo had to find a way to end it as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng laughed when he heard the words:
"I know the importance of this point, but as you just said, only a few students are willing to practice the 'integration of knowledge and action', and the rest are playboys who follow suit."

The implication is that he can control himself, but he cannot control the people below
Feng Yibo felt slightly relieved when he heard that.

He only cares about whether Liu Zheng's heart is right or not, as for those dudes...

It's just a tool for promotion.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said indifferently:
"No matter what their purpose is, as long as they talk about the way of a gentleman, aren't they just a gentleman?"

Zi once said: "A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is long-standing."

There is also a saying: "If you always have a heart of benevolence and filial piety, then the world will not bear to do anything that cannot be done..."

The latter statement was said by scholars in the Qing Dynasty, but it is actually a Confucian summary of the gentleman.

To put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter whether it is a sage or a Confucian scholar.

In ancient times, the requirements for a gentleman were actually based on the heart.

But what Feng Yibo said was the exact opposite. What he said was obviously "the deeds don't matter the heart".

However, it is obviously not the first time he has said so.

Liu Zheng also accepted this statement a long time ago. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile and agreed:

"I thought so too, that's why I said I had a new experience."
