Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the emperor's playful eyes, knowing that the emperor was joking with her, so she was not nervous, and just said: "One thing is naturally to make the people of the world be able to read, People who are literate can no longer use ignorance as an excuse to evade the law, and many unjust, false and wrong cases can be avoided."

Daiyu deliberately stopped and pursed her lips to show that she was thirsty, and then continued: "The second is that the sage made the people all over the world to be able to read and write. Daiyu raised her head to look at the emperor, and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, or the imperial court, can train specialized talents according to the needs of the heaven/dynasty."

Seeing that the emperor was still looking at her in silence, Daiyu couldn't help pouting again: "What about the tea the sage said? Could it be that what I said was unreasonable?"

The emperor was thinking about Daiyu's words, but at this time Daiyu suddenly said such a sentence, he couldn't help laughing, seeing Daiyu's watery eyes looking at him calmly, the emperor said to the prince with a funny face: "Go , bring a cup of tea to this girl." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Daiyu added: "Good tea! It's from the Holy Majesty's private collection!"

The prince and the emperor were stunned for a moment, and Daiyu smiled when she saw this: "Just now the majesty promised that if the minister's daughter is justified, he will give the minister's daughter good tea. Naturally, it is the majesty's private collection, which is the best tea in the world." Good tea!" Seeing this, the emperor and princes all laughed.

Wang Gonggong secretly glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor was not angry, so he smiled and said: "This old servant will prepare tea for the county magistrate. If you want to say, the majesty is always boasting that the scented tea made by the county magistrate is excellent!" After saying that, he turned around and left the imperial study room.

After the prince went out, Daiyu suddenly looked sober, stared into the emperor's eyes, and said softly: "Education is like a waterway. If the waterway is controlled by the Holy One, does the Holy One still have to worry about the water flow?" The emperor's heart moved, Then he nodded slightly and asked, "Is this what Yu'er intends to tell me?"

After the emperor asked, he saw that Daiyu suddenly collapsed her shoulders as if she had lost all her strength, she pouted and said, "I didn't plan to say it today, just like what I said before, I don't have the conditions yet. It's just that I was provoked by the Holy Majesty, so I blurted it out, and I regretted it after I said it." The expression was indescribable annoyance.

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and Daiyu, who looked at the little girl, asked: "Then Yuer, tell me, what preparations do you think I need if I want to accomplish this?" Naturally, the emperor would not know this. If things are done, it will be extremely difficult, but now it is just to test Daiyu.

Daiyu also understood this point in her heart, but the conversation has already reached this point, and she couldn't give up halfway, so she thought for a while and said: "The Holy Majesty wants to build a school, and there are four major problems that need to be solved."

The emperor nodded and signaled Daiyu to continue, and Daiyu continued: "The first one is money. If we are fighting on two fronts today, I am afraid that the national treasury will be tight, and there is not much money to build a school. The second is Xun. Noble clan," Daiyu saw the emperor's face change when she said this, but Daiyu couldn't stop talking.

Daiyu went on to say: "Most of the honorable clans have family education, one is to educate future generations, the other is to win over talents, and the third is to cultivate loyalty and the concept of family from an early age. If the Holy One wants to build a school, he will be like a minister. As my daughter said before, there must be a law, so that all children must go to the school built by the Holy One, so naturally there will be conflicts."

Daiyu didn't even look at the emperor's expression, and continued: "The three common people in the world think that everything is inferior and only reading is high. Now the emperor first gives them the opportunity to study and requires everyone to read, and then deprives some of them. People's right to continue to study, I think there will be many people who are dissatisfied."

When Daiyu said this, the emperor asked: "You know it, why do you come to me like that?" Daiyu explained: "People's talents are born, some people are suitable for reading, while others It doesn't fit."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she frowned slightly and thought for a while before continuing: "Without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, without business, there is no life, and without talent, there is no prosperity! However, farming in the world depends entirely on experience, and there is no systematic education. Needless to say, although the imperial court has a Ministry of Industry, is there a systematic training of craftsmen? Commerce...the Holy Majesty is still emphasizing agriculture and despising business!"

Daiyu's words were always beyond the emperor's expectation, and the emperor couldn't help but smile after a moment of surprise: "Is Yu'er accusing me?"

Daiyu shook her head and sighed: "It's not about accusing the Holy Majesty, but about the thoughts of thousands of years!" After finishing speaking, Daiyu looked at the emperor and asked tentatively: "Many thoughts are from thousands of years ago. Wrong, but today’s heaven/dynasty is always different from that of thousands of years ago, right? Then the ideas and concepts of thousands of years ago are always out of date.”

After speaking, Daiyu didn't dare to look away at the emperor, hoping to see the emperor's viewpoint and attitude from the emperor's eyes, but after hearing the "rebellious" remarks, the emperor didn't react or show any expression.This made Daiyu very disappointed and lost.

After thinking about it for a while, Daiyu made persistent efforts, trying to find out the bottom line of the emperor, and said: "If the sage is in the elementary school, he will build the middle school, agriculture, engineering, school, and military school at the same time, and teach those students who cannot continue to take the scientific examination. I think the conflict can be minimized."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu said with a smile: "I just don't know how the Holy Master can make those gentlemen who have mastered the skills come to the school built by the Holy Master and teach them all? This is the fourth problem to be solved. problem."

These words were quite provocative, but the emperor still looked at Daiyu calmly, until the prince came in with a tea tray, and smiled at Daiyu: "This is the good tea that the Holy Majesty has kept privately. The Holy Majesty is reluctant to eat it, the county magistrate should hurry up and thank you."

After Daiyu glanced at the emperor again, she smiled at the prince and said, "I don't know if the father-in-law ever stole my tea?" No matter how courageous this old slave is, this old slave will not dare." After listening to this, Daiyu laughed and said, "Since that is the case, I will make a bag of good tea that I made for my eunuch later."

When Daiyu said this, she glanced at the emperor, deliberately lowered her voice and said to the prince, "It's the kind that Bao Sheng praised, and we also look at the emperor." After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, but the prince smiled wryly. Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "Why don't you thank the county magistrate for the reward?" The prince also had to salute and thank him.

After playing around, Daiyu continued while drinking tea: "Take the Ministry of War as an example, soldiers are easy to get, but generals are hard to find, and most generals come from aristocratic families, because the aristocratic families have money for their children to learn from." Soldiers learn martial arts. If we can popularize education, divide and teach them, why should the Holy One worry that good talents are rare?"

The emperor was not in a hurry to answer Daiyu's words. Instead, he looked at his empty ground dragon case, then looked at the tea in Daiyu's hand, and couldn't help but coldly snorted at the prince, "Are you working for me? Or for this girl?" Serving as an errand?" Wang Gonggong broke out in a cold sweat after being told by the emperor, and quickly knelt down and said, "A servant will always be the servant of the Holy One!"

But Daiyu chuckled and said: "My father-in-law is kneeling here to show his loyalty, why not make a pot of good tea for the Holy Majesty, and remember to use the good tea that the Majesty has kept privately! There is no need to feel sorry for the Majesty." Seeing this, the emperor said angrily She glared at Daiyu, but Daiyu smiled indifferently.Only now did the prince realize that he forgot to bring tea to the emperor!
The prince slapped his forehead and said angrily, "I'm confused. I'll make tea for the sage!"

Only then did the emperor unfold the note that Daiyu had given him before, on which it was written in neat lower letters: Establish a fleet and open maritime business.Build asylums for the elderly and the young. "There were only twenty words, but the emperor gasped.

The emperor held up the note in his hand and asked Daiyu angrily, "Is this the annual gift you gave me?" Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "Exactly!" That answer was clean and straightforward, and very righteous!But he laughed the emperor angrily.

The emperor asked angrily: "Where did you get the money to build the fleet? Take it in? According to what you girl said, everyone, old or young, should be taken in? Where's the money?" Yes, the emperor's biggest headache now Yes, isn't it just silver?
But Daiyu calmly said: "Great Heaven / Dynasty, is there still a shortage of money? It's just that the money has not been mobilized by the Holy One!" The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked Daiyu : "What's your idea?"

But Daiyu said with a smile: "My lady, this is not a ghostly idea, but a good idea! The Holy Majesty will give you a reward." After speaking, she raised her white chin with a little complacency, her appearance was indescribably delicate and lovely. people.The emperor's eyes couldn't help but deepen, and he finally came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Let me listen to you."

Daiyu also knew that enough is enough, so she collected her expression and said, "Most of the money is now in the hands of the big clan and merchants, and the big clan..." Daiyu paused for a moment and said sadly: "Father You've already figured out a way for the Holy One, haven't you?"

The emperor had known about Lin Ruhai's legacy for a long time, and Daiyu knew about it, so she was not surprised, nodded slightly, and listened quietly to Daiyu's words.

Daiyu took a deep breath before continuing: "As for the merchants, the courtiers have two ideas. I don't know if it's feasible. Let's listen to it. Maybe it's not feasible or not."

Seeing the emperor nodding, Daiyu said: "The status of merchants has been low since ancient times. If the sage can order one or two merchants to take the lead in donating silver taels, and reward them to improve their status, make them equal to the common people, and allow them to study for imperial examinations, the merchants will flock to them." Furthermore, the minister thinks that the tax law that my father implemented in the salt administration can be imitated in many places.”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Daiyu noncommittally, and Daiyu was not in a hurry, and looked back at the emperor.After waiting for a while, seeing that the emperor still didn't speak, Daiyu still had too little experience, she said a little bit impatiently: "In the future, the status of merchants should be improved, so why not take some benefits before that?"
