Chapter 303 The Theory of Powerful Nation
"For example, take the exquisite porcelain bowl in my hand. From pottery making to porcelain making, from painting to glaze painting, the pottery craftsmen have gathered their hard work and wisdom to create such exquisite porcelain.

Look at the place where we are sitting now. Without the efforts of the masons and carpenters, the tireless innovation, continuous innovation, meticulous craftsmanship and the pursuit of perfection, how could we have built the magnificent, magnificent and beautifully carved hall today.

Even the clothes we wear, the jewelry we wear, and the weapons we use in battle are all due to the craftsmen’s striving for perfection and superb skills. They have created countless wealth for the Great Zhou Dynasty and made great contributions to the prosperity and development of the Great Zhou Dynasty. . Aren't these their shining points? "

For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

After a while, the emperor first cheered: "Okay! As long as they abide by the laws and regulations, as long as they have contributed to the great Zhou Dynasty, they will all have shining points. Well said! I have learned a lesson today."

Shen Jia glanced at Concubine Shu provocatively, then stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for the compliment."

The eyes of several military attachés were slightly red. These civil servants had been calling them reckless and unworthy of publicity. Now someone finally spoke up for them publicly.

A coldness flashed across Concubine Shu's eyes. This little bitch was so talkative that everyone in the hall was led astray by her.

A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips, "People are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Students study hard for more than ten years in a cold window, in order to become a high school scholar and then become an official and a superior person. According to you, ordinary people People have bright spots and are worthy of respect, so who is still studying hard?”

Concubine Shu's words instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of most people in the hall with Shen Jia.

Many people looked at Shen Jia with a 'shudder', especially the three hundred new science scholars. "Everything is low-grade, but reading is good." The 'scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants' were at the top. Some families used their entire family to provide one. Scholars come out to change the lintel of their homes.

Now Princess Protector tells them that craftsmen, soldiers, farmers, and businessmen all have shining points, and they are also worthy of respect. Then wouldn't they, who have studied hard for more than ten years, become a joke?

Gu family, Yao family, the Crown Princess, Qing Ping's uncle and others all looked at Shen Jia worriedly. If this topic is not answered well, it will leave knots in the hearts of many people in the palace, and they may not truly surrender to her in the future.

Shen Zhuoyun only frowned slightly and felt relieved. If Jia'er doesn't want to, no one in this world can make her suffer.

The emperor and Xiao Yichen simultaneously remembered what Shen Jia had said before, and they were not worried at all, but they secretly made a note for Concubine Shu and Jiang Shoufu.

Concubine Shu never thought that provoking Shen Jia would put her in dire straits. If she had known, she would not have acted so recklessly today.

Shen Jia glanced at the expressions of everyone in the hall and saw that there was no look of concern on the faces of the ten royalists and Feng Zhanglin, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Jia completely ignored the gazes of others and pointed the finger directly at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, do you know what are the most basic conditions for a country to be prosperous and strong, with peace and harmony for the country and the people?"

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't she explain to them whether there is any difference between scholars and ordinary people? Why ask her?
Concubine Shu is indeed a shrewd veteran. She came to her senses in just a moment and blurted out: "They must be selecting knowledgeable people to manage the country!"

"It's not enough to just rely on knowledgeable people to manage a country. It also requires population, military, economy, and agriculture. All of them are indispensable." Shen Jia said calmly.

This topic was brought back by Shen Jiarao.

The emperor glanced at Shen Jia with interest, looking forward to seeing her killing everyone. He thought it would be better than him sneaking out of the palace to watch a play in the theater.

Shen Jia saw the emperor's excited eyes and complained to Xiao Yichen in a low voice: "Achen, what kind of bad taste does Grandpa Huang have! He actually looks like he's watching a show."

Xiao Yichen shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry about him, he's been too busy lately. You can do whatever you want, I'll take care of everything!"

A new scholar saluted Shen Jia and asked, "Princess, my student is stupid. I wonder if you can explain it to us."

Others also looked at Shen Jia eagerly, including Feng Zhanglin and others.

Shen Jia nodded, "Seeing that you are so open-minded and eager to learn, I will reluctantly tell you!"

"I would like to ask you, if the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized culture and restrained martial arts, highly developed culture, and established the world with culture, can you imagine what the Great Zhou Dynasty would be like?"

The emperor cleared his throat: "You can answer all the questions asked by the princess boldly. No matter whether you are right or wrong, I will not punish you. It will be treated as a debate."

Feng Zhanglin and others' eyes were shining, and they were all gearing up. “The entire Great Zhou Dynasty has a strong cultural atmosphere, and its cultural prosperity is unprecedented.”

“The emphasis on culture and education over martial arts leads to weak military strength and even leads to invasion by foreign enemies.”

"Class conflicts intensify."

The emperor, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Jia looked at them with smiles, and many of them got to the point.

Shen Jia asked again: "What would happen if the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized martial arts and neglected literature?"

"Social instability."

"There are constant internal and external troubles."

"Some people may even take the opportunity to rebel."

Hearing this, Shen Jia smiled slowly and asked, "What would happen if there were no merchants in Dazhou?"

"What would happen if there were no farmers in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"What will happen if the agricultural productivity of Dazhou is extremely low?"

As Shen Jia asked questions one after another, not only the new scholars, but also King Jin, King Ning, Jiang Shoufu and others were filling in the pictures in their minds.

In the end, they were all frightened by the pictures in their minds.

Shen Jia glanced at the people in the hall and said slowly: "Wen can stabilize the country, military power can rule the country, and the economy can enrich the country. Without civilian officials to govern the country, the entire country will become a piece of sand. If the military is not strong, and foreign enemies invade, the country will not be like the country. , and may even become slaves to the subjugation of the country. Agriculture is not strong, people are hungry, the population is declining, and they also face threats from other countries.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all without businessmen. If a clever woman cannot make a living without rice, how can we build a strong country? Therefore, as long as you maintain a kind heart, do not do anything that violates your moral conscience, carry forward the fields you are familiar with, and contribute to the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you are worthy of our respect..."

"Okay!" The emperor stood up and applauded first.

Xiao Yichen, the Crown Princess, Shen Zhuoyun... and others followed closely behind, and suddenly, the entire hall burst into thunderous applause.

Feng Zhanglin and other new scholars suddenly became enlightened, Prince Ning and other princes were shocked, Su Hao and other ministers deeply recognized...

Shen Jia's words spread throughout the capital the next day, and soon spread further and further, even to the entire Zhou Dynasty.

She once again "unintentionally planted a willow to make a shade" and won the respect and love of many Zhou Dynasty scholars, military generals, businessmen and ordinary people.

No matter how unwilling Concubine Shu and Jiang Shoufu were, they knew they could not question Shen Jia anymore, otherwise, they would be accused of having evil intentions and ulterior motives.

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows and glanced at the angry Concubine Shu, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

She had said these words to Xiao Yichen, and Xiao Yichen had said it to the emperor, but they had not mentioned it to the ministers. The reason should be that they had not found a suitable opportunity yet.

After all, the civil and military officials who can go to court are all important court officials who have been in office for many years. Their sense of superiority has long been ingrained. It is extremely difficult for them to accept this new idea. People like these have only half-footed their way into the officialdom. The new Jinshi is different.

With more brainwashing, it will be much easier for Xiao Yichen to reform and implement new policies in the future.

The emperor, Xiao Yichen, and Shen Jia all thought of going together, so they only talked about this matter step by step when Concubine Shu deliberately made things difficult.

This is several times better than the direct decree issued by the emperor and Xiao Yichen.

Concubine Shu handed them a good ladder.
