Wentang

Chapter 374 Letter
The one for Li Shimin never mentioned the assassination, but only talked about recent work.The focus was on the construction of the navy, the construction of a new city, the reform of the three classes and six houses, the recruitment examination, and the Dizhou Salt Industry Alliance.

He wrote more than ten thousand words eloquently, and his wrists were numb after finishing writing.

It was relatively simple to reply to the eldest grandson Wugou, reporting safety and expressing concern, and then giving gifts.

The gifts were very simple, a copybook was for the eldest grandson Wugou, and a colored conch the size of a washbasin was for Li Lizhi.

After putting away the letter to the empress, Yue Shan picked up the third letter.

This letter was sent by his parents, expressing his longing, asking when he would go back, and saying that everything at home is fine and there is nothing to worry about.

The key point is that his koi are multiplying very well, and there were a few red and white koi not long ago.In addition, the cotton was also harvested, so I asked him how to deal with it.

Koi?cotton?To be honest, Yue Shan himself had already forgotten about it.But now it seems that there is a good result.

Continuing to look down, the two elders also said that the little girl Yue Shui'er will be ten years old after the new year, and she has reached the age to say goodbye.Many dignitaries wanted to get married, and Yue and Lao Si also wanted to find her a husband's family.

But I also know that I can't decide this matter, I have to nod Yue Shan, so I asked him what he meant in the letter.

Yue Shui'er?marry?Yue Shan shook his head helplessly.

There is a joke on the Internet in later generations, Cao Weixi's wife, Shu Han Quan is Ji, Dong Wu loves loli.In fact, Soochow is not the only one who loves loli, the entire ancient history is a history of loli.

This has something to do with the times, and early marriage and early childbearing are popular.In the Tang Dynasty, it was normal to get engaged at the age of ten and get married at the age of eleven or twelve.

It's just that as a time traveler, Yue Shan naturally wouldn't let his sister be ruined so early.He is not a stubborn person, and he has no idea that he must wait until he gets married, but at least wait until later.

Afterwards, there was a long short article from the parents, without any real content, and Yue Shan didn't feel impatient, but felt more warm.There was no mention of his assassination in the letter, and he guessed that everyone was hiding it from them.

After reading it, Yue Shan took up a pen and wrote a reply letter. First, he cared about the health of the elders and asked them to take care of themselves.

He also talked about the processing method of cotton, take out the cotton seeds and put them away, and make the cotton wool into cotton clothes and quilts for your own use.

Yue Shui'er's marriage also made them not to worry, their sister would not worry about getting married, so they had to look for a son-in-law.Besides, the girl hasn't enjoyed the blessings for a few years, so how can she be willing to marry someone else to endure hardships, and let's talk about it in two years.

Anyway, in this day and age, there are no longer a few women and Ji who get married, and the fourth Yue and the old couple should not disagree.

In ancient times, Jiji was the threshold. Before Jiji, everything was easy to talk about. After the Jiji, those who did not get married were old leftover women. Not only would they be gossiped by others, but they would also have to pay double poll tax.

Later, Yue Shan arranged some other things, and told them to take good care of their relatives and friends, and not to go out to cause trouble.When encountering any problems, I often ask Pei Ju and Pei Shuying for advice, etc.

At the end of the letter, I also said that I might not be able to go home for the New Year, and I apologized for that.

Since this letter is written to my parents, the words used are plain and straightforward, so the number of words is relatively large.After writing, it was time for lunch.

Ask someone to send the meal to the room, eat it hastily, and continue to read the next letter.

This letter was written by Pei Ju. At the beginning, he asked him about the assassination, and said that he kept it a secret and didn't tell his family members so that they wouldn't worry. He then apologized to Yue Shan and made his own decisions.

Yue Shan naturally wouldn't blame him, but also thanked him.The assassination had already happened, and if the family members knew about it, it wouldn't change anything. It was useless to make people worry.

After that, I introduced the situation of the academy, the compilation progress of the big dictionary and the development of several industries arranged by Yueshan.

The main frame of the dictionary has been determined, and the number of words has almost been fixed. Now it is difficult to give each word a phonetic explanation.Everyone has their own plans and it is difficult to unify, and each word has to be debated for a long time before it can be settled.

Moreover, as more and more information was leaked out, the literary world also paid more attention to the compilation of the Great Dictionary, and many famous Confucian teachers asked to join it.

Even the noble family couldn't help but want to participate, but unfortunately, it was rejected by Li Shimin.

Yue Shan was not surprised at this point, the aristocratic family looked down on the Li royal family, and Li Shimin hated them too.The big dictionary is digging the foundation of the family, how could they be involved.

The compiling work of the Great Dictionary has attracted the attention of the academic circles, and Longshoushan Academy has also been known by more and more people.

There are many famous teachers and scholars gathered here. Although they are not the masters of the academy, they are under the same roof after all, and they are occasionally drawn to teach the students.

So many students from the outside world have already submitted applications to study here, but they were all rejected by Pei Ju.

In addition, Yue Shan's textbooks have finally left the small circle of the capital and gradually flowed into all parts of the world, but they haven't caused much reaction yet.

However, Pei Ju still reminded him to be mentally prepared, there might be a torrent brewing against him under the water.

Later, I talked about Li Dewu's situation. While actively integrating into the circle of the capital, he compiled what he saw and heard in Lingnan into a book, hoping to bring help to Yueshan.

Yue Shan wrote back to him, first thanking him for taking care of his family, and then talking about his own situation, and then nothing.

This reply was the simplest, not to belittle Pei Ju but because the old man had already retired, and he himself did not want to talk more about the court affairs.There are not many things that can worry him now, the big dictionary is one, Li Dewu's official career is one, and the future of the Pei family can only be counted as half.

In this case, there is no need to talk to him about other things.

Moreover, he has already lived to be 80 years old, and he has seen all kinds of big storms, and talking about those fake things will only annoy people.

The sender of the last letter surprised Yue Shan, it was actually Wang Ji.

Although the two had a very good personal relationship when they were in the capital, even when Yue Shan left the capital, he used a routine to hand over the academy to him.

But the relationship between the two is more like a gentleman's friendship. They have basically never contacted each other. This is the first time he has written a letter.So Yue Shan was also very curious about what was written inside.

I opened it and looked at the beginning, and it was a bit ironic. This person is indeed a different kind. Others start their letters with greetings and greetings.He started by asking Yue Shan when he would go back, and he said he would invite Yue Shan to drink to calm him down.

This is considered to be a response to his assassination, and it really is different.

The next step is to get straight to the point, saying that many of the emperor's recent policies and behaviors are weird.

In the Ministry of Rites, a new teaching department was set up, responsible for the management of Taixue and Liuxue, and also opened academies in major cities.Moreover, letting Kong Yingda, a direct descendant of Confucius, serve as the head of the Education Department seems to be trying to elevate the status of Confucianism.

This is nothing, it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to culture and education.Moreover, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, all dynasties have respected Confucius more. Although the Tang Dynasty worshiped Li Er as its ancestor, it is not surprising that Confucianism was used to govern the country.

After all, Li Yuan, who considers himself a descendant of Li Er, does not believe in religion, but believes in Buddhism. It is not incomprehensible for Li Shimin to use Confucian culture to govern the country.

The Confucianists, who had been suppressed before, were very happy, thinking that their hard days were over.But before they were happy for a few days, Li Shimin gave them a blow to the head.

He has repeatedly attacked Confucian culture in public, but the key is that what he said is justified and well-founded, making it irrefutable.Now the Confucian scholars couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

Although Wang Ji is bohemian, he is also a student of Confucianism, so he is naturally concerned about this.So I wrote a letter to ask Yue Shan if he knew what the emperor was going to do.

Seeing this passage, Yue Shan laughed, and Li Shimin finally took action against Confucianism as planned.
