I studied in modern times

Chapter 410 Song Oath (2)

Zhao Xu looked at the ministers kneeling in front of him, waved his hands and said, "Please, please get up."

After the ministers stood up, Zhao Xu led them and continued to the sand table.

"Everyone has heard about it, right? I sent people to Jing'anfang, right?"

All the ministers lowered their heads.

This matter is now the most hotly discussed matter in Bianjing City.

This morning's Bianjing Xinbao and Bianjing Yibao both reported it.

Bianjing Xinbao focused on filial piety, while Bianjing Yibao was more concerned about the royal family's actions in Jing'anfang, raising many questions, and finally focused on "competing with the people for profit."

"To be honest with you all, I took the lead in this matter."

"This Jing'an Square is my pilot project to solve the problem in Bianjing."

"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. Take Jing'anfang as the pilot project and spread it throughout Bianjing City."

“If it’s feasible, then by extension, if it’s not feasible, the losses are controllable.”

"In addition, I also have some selfish motives. I want to use the profits gained from the renovation of Jing'an Square to build palaces for the two palaces of mercy, and fulfill my filial piety." Zhao Xu said, and looked at the ministers with a smile: " You guys should be able to understand my filial piety, right?"

What can the ministers say?
We can only worship collectively: "Your Majesty is kind and filial, and the world is lucky."

Zhao Xu laughed heartily.

Then, he pointed at Jing'an Square, his eyes sparkled, turned to Fan Chunren who was following him, and asked: "Fan Qing, look at this Jing'an Square..."

"It is adjacent to Mingde Square in the east, connected to Jingming Square, and the imperial road to the east passes by it."

"It is connected to Dawa Temple and Guangfufang in the south, and the old Fengqiu Gate is in the north."

"The two are connected..." Zhao Xu gestured with his fingers to connect the two directions: "This is the main area of ​​the old Fengqiumen Street."

Such a geographical location, such a core urban area.

If described from the perspective of modern real estate, it is 'the core of the imperial capital, beside Tianjia, beside Tianjie, and the home of Jinshi outside Donghua Gate! '.

It will definitely be snapped up.

However, with such a prime location and great development potential, Fang District is now a complete urban village.

Except for a few households, everything else is a courtyard built of rammed earth, and even houses made of bamboo, wood and thatch.

These houses and yards are closely connected and stretch into a piece.

The entire Jing'an Square became overcrowded.

It is no exaggeration to say that an accidental fire may cause the entire area to be burned to the ground.

"I plan to use the wealth and silk from the palace to sell the houses of the people here, and the confiscated residences of the Wang, Xu, Zhang and other families, build a new group of houses here, and sell them to Bianjing and officials and merchants all over the world."

"At the same time, I also plan to build an elementary school, a primary school, and a junior high school in Jing'an Square."

Zhao Xu briefly explained to them the education system of elementary school, elementary school, junior high school, and then passing the exam from junior high school to the government school.

As soon as this idea was stated, everyone's eyes lit up.

The banquet officials shook hands excitedly.

To them, the educational upgrade system of elementary school, primary school, junior high school, and private school is nothing less than Pangu's ground-breaking creation.

Because before this, there has never been such an idea.

The education system of the Song Dynasty has always stayed in the era when Fan Zhongyan and Qingli founded schools.

Ethereum was the highest institution of higher education in the central government, and state schools and county schools were set up in prefectures and counties all over the world, led by academic officials, and private schools were encouraged at the same time.

The four major academies of the Song Dynasty and the private academies in various places continued to emerge from then on.

But these are for adults.

There is no systematic education route.

And the education system proposed by Zhao Xu consists of elementary school-primary school-junior high school-fuxue (state school)-taixue.

For these people, it is like opening the door to a whole new world.

The companion readers are different.

They reacted almost immediately.

The price of houses in Jing'anfang will rise!
And, it’s definitely going to skyrocket!

It has even become the most valuable and durable industry in Bianjing City.

why?
Jing'anfang is so big, its land is limited, and the houses it can build are also limited.

But the demand from people all over the world for their children to attend Bianjing Prefecture School is unlimited.

Even their family might be tempted to buy a house in Jing'anfang to make room for the family's children, right?

It can be seen that the future is limited supply and unlimited demand.

How high will the house prices here rise?
Isn’t it likely that a yard would cost tens of thousands of dollars?

Everyone had different ideas in their minds, but they all quickly said in unison: "Your Majesty is a benevolent sage, and I bow to you."

No one, not even a moralist like Cheng Yi, pointed out that there was anything wrong with Zhao Xu's method of using the house to make money.Because Zhao Xu has already said that he did this out of filial piety.

No one can criticize anything done out of filial piety.

Zhao Xu looked at them and said with a smile: "I also ask all my dear friends to keep this Jing'anfang plan a secret for me."

Everyone immediately bowed respectfully: "No!"

Zhao Xu looked at them and nodded: "You and others are all under my control!"

The implication is that whenever someone leaks the Jing'anfang development plan.

Then he will be automatically expelled from the femoral and humeral ranks and placed in another register, which may even harm his family.

Zhao Xu believed that they understood this truth.

Because it is written very clearly in the book - if the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose, and if his ministers are not secretive, he will lose the king.

"I will keep in mind what I have agreed with you today, and I will engrave it in the Ancestral Temple in the future for the guidance of my descendants!" Zhao Xu looked at them and said sincerely.

The ministers immediately bowed down collectively: "Your Majesty's sage is born from your nature. I congratulate you from the world!"

Zhao Xu looked at them and smiled softly.

In modern times, there are rumors circulating that it was Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty who engraved an oath on the stone tablet in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

When every emperor ascends the throne, he must, under the guidance of his ministers, enter a secret stone room in the Ancestral Temple alone where a stone tablet is enshrined, and swear an oath to fulfill the oath of the Taizu in front of his ancestors.

There are three oaths in total.

One: If the descendants of the Chai family are guilty, their punishment shall not be increased. Even if they are guilty of treason, they will be punished in prison. They shall not be punished or killed, and their relatives may not be killed.

Second: Do not kill scholar-bureaucrats or those who write letters to express their opinions.

Third: If any of our descendants take this oath, God will surely kill them.

Zhao Xu is here to sternly refute the rumors - there is no such thing!
The Chai family has always been honest, and they have long been domesticated into the Zhao family's licking dogs.

Who would embarrass a licking dog?
As for the scholar-bureaucrats?
There were actually quite a few killed.

It's just that under normal circumstances, scholar-bureaucrats have privileges and will be dealt with lightly.

The real ancestral system is actually an unspoken rule, and this unspoken rule was only gradually formed after Renmiao.

This is - do not sin against the Prime Minister: Unless the Prime Minister commits a heinous crime, he will never be punished and will only serve as a palace official.

The second is not to kill but to wait for control or above.

Important ministers are to be restrained, unless they commit heinous crimes.

Otherwise, he will never be imprisoned, his punishment will never be increased, and he will never be interrogated with swords and pens.

At most, he would be like Shen Kuo, who would be demoted to a remote state or county and placed in charge of his residence.

Moreover, if there is a time limit, once the time limit is up, you will have the opportunity to be released and reinstated.

Just like not long ago, didn't Zhao Xu specifically attack Shen Qi and Liu Yi?

In the Yuanyou era of Zhao Xu's previous life, the radicals of the old party unscrupulously destroyed this tradition and unspoken rules.

The final boomerang hit every old party nine years later.

Both radicals and moderates have experienced the consequences of breaking unspoken rules.

That is to say, Zhao Xu still had sense and prevented the radicals in the new party from further persecution.

Otherwise, brothers like Su Shi and Su Che, don't write about "eating [-] lychees a day, and growing up to be Lingnan people".

I'm afraid, I have to travel to Salmon Island.

Zhao Xu remembered it very clearly.

During the Shaosheng era, brothers Deng Xunren and Deng Xunwu, sons of Deng Wan, who had a grudge against the old party for killing their father, were typical representatives of the DPRK who advocated the extermination of the old party.

However, Zhao Xu knew how influential this rumor would be in later generations.

He also knows that the general public actually likes this kind of thing.

Since the common people and people like and welcome it.

Then Zhao Xu will naturally cater to the preferences of the people and the people.

Therefore, in the future, after he erected the oath monument in the Ancestral Ancestral Temple, he would quietly send people to spread rumors - family members, there really is an oath monument in the Ancestral Ancestral Temple.

And he and his descendants will become scumbags - they will not refute the rumors, admit or deny them.

At the same time, this is also a kind of trial or exploration.

Zhao Xu knew very well that from a historical perspective, the rule of the Zhao Guan family would come to an end sooner or later.

This is the inevitability of history.

Rather than letting others force you to have dignity, it is better to make plans early and leave dignity for your descendants.

Of course, while he was alive.

Never give up power!
no way!
