The Reborn Wife is Farming

Little Xiong said in a depressed mood: "I don't understand why the peasants can't eat enough to eat even after working so hard, and they don't have the money to see a doctor or take medicine when they are sick. Dad said it's because farming depends entirely on the weather. When the weather is good, the harvest is good, and when the weather is bad Lack of harvest, good times and bad days, no matter how much you accumulate, you will lose everything in a bad year, not to mention that few people have large savings."

"And my mother said that it's because of the low grain output and the high land rent and tax, which makes it difficult for the people to accumulate money and food, and there are few sideline jobs. People are busy when the farming is busy, but they are all idle when the farming is slack," Little Bear said: "They I don’t quite understand what I’m talking about. I think it’s because there are no cattle. Xiaohei’s family has no cattle so his family is very poor. Dacai’s family has two cows, so his family’s life is much easier. My mother manages a big cattle farm. I feel that as long as all the cattle are given to people who don’t have cattle, they will all have enough to eat.”

Fang Zhiyuan was stunned, then looked at Mu Yangling, stood up solemnly, and saluted: "The son's heart is kind, it's a lowly official who treats others with the heart of a villain, he is really ashamed."

"Why did you say that, sir? Please sit down quickly, and I would like to ask you to forgive me. This child has not read many books with us since he was a child, so he doesn't understand some advanced words. I'm afraid he will offend you Less trouble."

Fang Zhiyuan was about to be humble, when Xiaobao said with a serious face: "Brother, you are wrong, if you have cows, you may not be able to eat enough, Zhuzi's family has cows, but his family can't have enough to eat." , and they can’t even pay for sickness and medical treatment, so it doesn’t make much difference whether they have cattle or not.”

"No, there is obviously a big difference."

The two children quarreled, Fang Zhiyuan's eyes widened as it was the first time he had such an experience.

After all, Xiaoxiong has only entered the palace to study for less than half a month, and he is exhausted every day, and he doesn't even have much time to talk. Naturally, he has no time to argue with Xiaobao, so this is the first time Fang Zhiyuan has seen such a scene.

Just when his eyes widened, Mu Yangling waved his hand to interrupt the dispute between the two of them, and said, "Okay, if you argue like this until tomorrow, you won't be able to tell who is wrong. Hurry up and find some time tomorrow to do an investigation. You can see the difference when you look at the situation of people with cattle and those without cattle.”

Out of the corner of Mu Yangling's eyes, he saw the slight surprise in Fang Zhiyuan's eyes, and said, "After you finish the investigation, make a copy for your husband, and let him give you some pointers."

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong hurriedly responded, it was not the first time they had done this kind of thing, at this moment they were already preparing a draft in their hearts, and planned to go out of the palace to do investigations when they were taking a rest.

"Look, Fang Shaofu, the children are very busy, and they didn't waste a little time. Whether it's loving brothers, being filial to their parents, or solving doubts in their hearts, these all take time, so I don't want the prince and the son to spend all their time spend on textbooks."

Fang Zhiyuan couldn't help sitting up straight, knowing that the main event was coming, the other party had laid the groundwork so much, wasn't it just a request to him?

He said: "Then according to Wangfei's opinion?"

"I think that the children of the royal family have more educational resources than the children of the poor family, so they should naturally have more choices. It is not difficult for them to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so Fang Shaofu, why not slow down the teaching, Let children have more free time to do what they want to do and seek their answers? Just like what Little Bear asked just now, why are farmers working so hard but are not rich, and even basic food and clothing are difficult to maintain? This is a question, gentlemen Can you give him an answer, can your answer satisfy them?"

"Instead of giving them perfunctory or fixed answers, it's better to let them find the answers themselves."

"Does the princess want the imperial palace to study for five days and take two days off like the palace?" Fang Zhiyuan is not stupid. Mu Yangling has said so much, but the focus is on the word time.

Mu Yangling nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, Fang Shaofu, they are not in a hurry to grow up, and entering the imperial court after the age of twenty is much earlier than others, isn't it?"

How many people in this world can pass the Jinshi examination and become an official in the court before the age of twenty?

Fang Zhiyuan said: "The prince will naturally listen to the emperor at what age he enters the court."

"But it is impossible for the prince to enter the court if he has not completed his studies. As long as Fang Shaofu agrees to the new study schedule here, the emperor will naturally adjust the time for the prince to enter the court." I came to find Fang Shaofu, apparently the emperor thinks that Fang Shaofu can make up his mind on this matter."

Fang Zhiyuan's mind changed, if the emperor wanted to disagree, he could simply reject Rongjun King and Rongjun Princess, and if he disagreed in his heart, he could also simply refuse, there is no need to push people to him.

At this time, Princess Rongjun came, which meant that the emperor was also uncertain.

It was Princess Rongjun who came instead of King Rongjun, showing weakness and asking for something.

If it was King Rong, with King Rong's character, he might ask him to adjust the time as soon as he opened his mouth. The princess of the county, the other party is a woman, just based on this, he will not care too much about the other party, even if he says the wrong thing, it doesn't matter.

So although the emperor was uncertain, he actually favored Princess Rongjun.

Fang Zhiyuan sighed quietly, and began to think seriously.

If the crown prince can maintain such an attitude of inquiry and learning as before, there is nothing wrong with easing the teaching time. As Princess Rongjun said, they are the children of the royal family and do not need the imperial examination to become officials, so there are many choices.

And the growth of a person is never just reading. Everything in life can make children grow and learn. If you are long, you will learn what is good, and if you are short, you will learn what is lacking.

But this learning method is not suitable for every royal child, because not all princes are guided by someone like Princess Rongjun.

At least he won't, he may tell his children that the land rent and tax are too high, he may lament the barren land, the wind and rain, and the sufferings of the people, but he will not think of letting the children find the answer by themselves.

But it is undeniable that such an arrangement will allow the children of the royal family to have a broader path, at least it will allow them to cultivate their hobbies more, so that they will not flock to the vortex of power when they grow up.

But the most important thing is that this is a teaching method that is beneficial but not harmful to the prince.

Fang Zhiyuan is the crown prince's young master. Naturally, everything should start from the prince's interests. Being able to let the prince get in touch with people's livelihood at a young age will have a great influence and effect on his participation in politics in the future. With such learning experience, as long as the prince's heart is not too It will not grow crooked.

Then he will be a generation of Mingjun from now on.

To be able to teach a generation of Mingjun, how much temptation is this to Fang Zhiyuan?

What civil servants pursue is nothing more than leaving a name in history, but as an emperor's teacher, his greatest wish is to teach a generation of wise emperors.

Fang Zhiyuan had better take Mu Yangling's suggestion, he said: "As for the other doctors, let the lower officials persuade them."

Mu Yangling saluted Fang Zhiyuan gratefully, and then asked Xiao Bao and Xiao Xiong to salute their husband, and then took the two children to leave.

Fang Zhiyuan asked when Mu Yangling turned around: "The princess seems to dislike Zhu Xi very much."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "I can't talk about likes and dislikes. If his "Annotation to the Four Books" hadn't had such a great influence, I might praise him for being sensitive, knowledgeable, and talented, but this book is now being morbidly criticized. I can’t say I have a good opinion of him, it’s not for him personally, but for the entire Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, after all, he just wrote a book.”
