Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 704 Why is it so popular?

"Ahem..." As soon as Jin Zhun heard Jin Ming's words, he coughed softly twice, not only to cover up his surprise, but also to remind his brothers in the clan.

Jin Ming came to his senses after listening to the voice, and immediately blushed, knowing that he had accidentally exposed the fact that he was a fan of Chen Zhi.

Jin Zhun also frowned, feeling very surprised.

When the two brothers had a secret conversation in the car, they thought Jin Ming was a typical Xiongnu after hearing what he said about Chen Zhi. Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In just a few words, his true feelings were revealed, which is not a good sign.

"Chen Zhi, no matter how I evaluate him, or how talented, knowledgeable, and accomplished this person is, simply because of the relationship between the late king, no one in the country can easily express their appreciation. This has already been It involves an attitude issue. Now that Jin Ming has lost his composure, he will inevitably be scolded when someone catches him. This is not bad. If he encounters someone with malicious intentions, he may not be able to use the topic to his advantage.

Sure enough, as soon as Jin Zhun's thoughts fell, Liu Yue's slightly sarcastic words were heard over there——

"What's the matter? Listen to Jin Laojiu, what do you mean by this? Are you still that Chen Zhi supporter?"

Jin Ming Xun Sheng looked over and was about to defend himself, but Jin Zhun waved his hand and stopped the two of them from talking.

"Now, is it time to worry about this?" He looked at the two of them and narrowed his eyes, "Jin Ming, you have also dealt with education matters in the country. Tell me, what if you let someone copy that ton... , how long does it take to write a book?”

"As for the general outline of the Tongdian..." Jin Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "My subordinate has never seen the entire book, but I heard that one volume contains more than ten chapters. If I let Li Xu copy it, it would take a day no matter what. I write from morning to night, and if I check for omissions and fill them in, it will take even more time, at least three days before and after."

"That is to say, if we want to complete the general outline of hundreds of books a day, we must select a hundred people and let them transcribe day and night. We cannot ensure the accuracy, and there will inevitably be missing words and sentences..." Jin Zhun nodded, and then said coldly Looking at the thin and tall man, "It will cost hundreds of copies a day, and to ensure the accuracy, it will take 300 people to start, copying and checking for leaks at the same time, such a large investment, even my family has to dispatch In two days, he Dai County has few people and is poor, and the humanities are not prosperous, how can there be so many people, are you really fooling me?"

"No, no!" The tall and thin man was startled, and quickly clarified: "In fact, a few days ago, Mr. Chen summoned the elders and gentry in the village, handed them many general outlines, and brought them to the representative office. This caused a sensation in all parts of the county! Moreover, the government has many farm officials who were originally guiding farm work in various places and taught the book "Essentials for Elevating the People". Many people were accustomed to listening to their explanations, and then suddenly said When this happened, and there were gentry as witnesses, it immediately aroused the hearts of the learned people in the village. In addition, the peasants excerpted some general chapters and excerpted it, which aroused the hearts of the people even more!"

Jin Ming interjected at this time and asked: "Listening to what you said, you have also read books, and when you go to Dai County this time, you must also be interested in obtaining a general outline. I wonder what the origin is?"

The tall and thin man showed embarrassment, and said: "My family has some background. My ancestor used to be a book servant of a large family, but during the Northern Expedition of Xuanwu, the master's family declined and was forcibly moved to Jiangzuo. I can only find my own way out, but I still don’t forget to read. I got two bequests from the master’s family, which can be passed down to my generation. The two books in this family are almost lost, but I still know how to read. I want to seize this opportunity, and if I can learn the spirit of the first and second general outlines, I can say that I can pass it on to my family." Then Liu Yue glanced at Jin Ming, and then interjected: "I remember, even if you people from the Central Plains study, There may not be a way out, the character is not enough, and it will be difficult to occupy a high position for life! Even if you go early and get a copy of the general outline, what is the use? Take it back and worship it?"

The tall and thin man was a little afraid of Liu Yue, cupped his hands, and said: "It is indeed difficult to be an official if you don't come out of a family and have no country and character, but you can make a living by reading and writing. You don’t have to worry all day for a little land rent! Moreover, when those aristocratic masters recruit servants, if they can read and write, they can take priority. Once they become slaves, they can be exempted from the government’s household registration. You only need to pay land rent for taxation and grain taxes, not to mention, if you become a servant of this big family, if you gain trust, your descendants will accompany you as schoolchildren, and you can even learn to read along with them, which has many benefits."

"You do know how to scheme," Jin Zhun narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering something, "However, I remember that Mr. Chen Fu did not give an order, saying that all the aristocratic families in this generation of the county should sort out their servants and servants. After registering and making a list, in the future, whether the land rent or the share will not be too much, it will be supervised by the government. In this case, why should you sacrifice the near and the far? "

Recently, Jin Zhun has gained power in the Xiongnu court. Of course, he can get a lot of news and understand some policy trends of Dai County, so he can ask such questions.

The tall and thin man was obviously a little surprised, but he still answered honestly: "The Lord's heart is good, but he is an official after all. Now he is so powerful that everyone can't hold their heads up, but this After all, Daijun still belongs to those families. Once the Fujun leaves, it will return to the same state. Instead of panicking then, it is better to decide now. Furthermore, what the Fujun said is mostly tenant farmers, and he does not care about the family members and servants. Not much involved."

"Okay, I think what you said is not a lie." Jin Zhun said, and under the expectant eyes of the tall and thin man, he asked the guards on the side to drive him away. Before leaving, the thin man The tall man's face was filled with aggrievedness and surprise, but he was helpless.

Liu Yue smiled at the side and said: "Captain, I think this man is still thinking about your money. He saw that you were generous to your servants, but he saw it clearly. However, the monarch is so stingy that even I can't bear it." Shocked."

Jin Zhun smiled and shook his head and said: "General, please don't speak like that. I am not the head of the state. Besides, that servant is a domestic slave, and the reward is nothing more. He will try his best to do things for me in the future, but just now That person can use it if he gets a copper plate, so why give more? Isn't this a waste?"

With that said, he got up and returned to the carriage, but when he passed by Jin Ming, he whispered: "Come up here, I have something to ask you!"

Of course Jin Ming knew what his clan brother meant, so he couldn't help but lower his head and follow him in.

Unexpectedly, he thought it was a reprimand, but then Jin Zhun asked kindly: "So, what exactly is written in the general outline of the Tongdian, and why do people flock to it?"
