Nine years of compulsory education?
What is that?
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court held their breath and concentrated. Sometimes, something interesting would pop up in Shen Zhiyi's little head.
[The old emperor talked so much, to put it bluntly, there were many illiterate people. People who have read books know that they will not knock on the drum to report things casually, but people who have not read books do not understand these things. For example, if an old lady said that the old emperor would give out money, a bunch of people would come in a swarm. ]
【As long as literacy is in place, at least half of the problem can be solved from the root. 】
The old emperor opened his mouth slightly, and when he looked up, he saw that the ministers below were shaking their heads in unison.
There are so many people in Daye, and literacy is an extremely long project. Besides, if most people have literacy, who will farm?
There is no one in this world who can read and write who does not pursue fame and fortune. Once the fields are left uncultivated and the foundation of Daye is destroyed, that means the end of its destiny.
[But this method is not suitable for this era at all. ]
The ministers were astonished: You know it and yet you still say it!
【Didn’t the old emperor set up a Censorate?】
The old emperor's eyes lit up and he made the decision immediately.
"Starting today, the drum at the Meridian Gate will be moved to the Metropolitan Censorate. The six departments will take turns to sit on duty. Anyone who beats the drum will be checked and the department that handles it will be responsible for it. Oh, and I will list some cases at that time. Those that meet the requirements can be submitted directly to me."
The eyes of the left and right censors lit up immediately. If there weren't so many people here, they would have wanted to carry Shen Zhiyi to drink, no, to have a big meal.
The Censorate evolved from the Censorate of the previous dynasty. Although it has the mission of "impeaching hundreds of officials, clarifying grievances, supervising all regions, and serving as the emperor's eyes and ears and in charge of discipline", in fact, it just reports on people (swearing) every day. No, it impeaches, and the impeachment requires a joint letter of impeachment!
Shen Zhiyi has also been impeached.
She gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs every day. Others dare not doze off during court, but Shen Zhiyi can't help it. She falls asleep while standing.
Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s the skill I learned when I was in school.
It would have been fine if she had just fallen asleep, but she was seen by the censor of the Censorate, who jointly wrote a letter to impeach her.
Shen Zhiyi was confused at first, and then waited happily to be stripped of his official hat. If he didn't want to be stripped of his official hat, being demoted would be fine, at least he could stay away from the old emperor.
But nothing happened. From then on, the censors of the Censorate even avoided her whenever they saw her.
The Left and Right Censors were moved that the old emperor finally remembered them.
What’s the use of the Dragon Scale Guards? They are just a bunch of brainless warriors!
After his concern was resolved, the old emperor did not keep these ministers. He just happened to feel hungry, so he went to the toilet.
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up, she loved writing these the most.
【At the hour of You, the emperor went to the toilet. 】
[Hehe, after holding it in for a whole day, the old emperor can finally poop happily. ]
The old emperor nearly tripped over his own feet when he went out. Although he didn't mind people speaking roughly, this was too rough.
Shen Zhiyi turned his head, a little tangled.
[I won't stand outside the door when the old emperor poops. I've recorded it all anyway. I can't keep recording how long it took, whether it was dry or watery. No, these are not the main points. The main point is that I don't want to see other people's hooks.]
The old emperor left in a rage, and both records were kept. When the old emperor finished using the toilet, the eunuchs would call them.
At this time, the Left Censor-in-Chief came over.
"Shen Lang."
Shen Zhiyi was terrified. This was a high-ranking official of the second rank, and he couldn't be careless.
"Well……"
[Ahhhh, damn, what’s his name? What’s his last name? Help. ]
Upon seeing this, Zhang Sheren immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Your humble servant greets Censor Jiang."
[Oh, yes, yes, his last name is Jiang. ]
"Your humble servant greets Lord Jiang."
Censor Jiang was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "Is this how Shen Lang usually calls others sir?"
"Uh, is there a problem?"
[It's called adults, that's how it's played out in TV dramas! ]
Censor Jiang looked back at the high-ranking officials behind him, each of them looking up at the sky and down at the ground.
"No, no problem." Censor Jiang smiled awkwardly and began to explain his purpose: "If you are free in the future, please come to my humble abode for a gathering."
[No one comes to see you for no reason. The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken with ulterior motives. Why did Censor Jiang suddenly invite me to dinner? Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! ]
The ministers present: Wow, Shen Zhiyi, you can actually use so many advanced words!
[Oh, I see. Okay, Jiang Yushi likes to dress up as a woman and was seen by your wife. Now your wife wants to burn all the clothes you bought. You can't bear to do that, so you want to give these clothes to someone else.]
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, the old emperor, who was going to the toilet, showed an obscene smile.
He said to Chen Decai beside him: "Interesting, really interesting, I didn't expect that Censor Jiang is such a wonderful person."
Chen Decai couldn't hear Shen Zhiyi's thoughts at first. After a period of judgment, the old emperor found that as long as he had an official seal, he could hear Shen Zhiyi's thoughts, so he simply gave Chen Decai an official position.
In this way, I can hear Shen Zhiyi's interesting thoughts in the future. The minister is not here, but at least Chen Decai is here.
Chen Decai smiled and said, "I think Shen Lang is the real wonderful person."
The old emperor thought about it, smiled happily, and nodded, "Indeed, indeed."
Censor Jiang dresses as a woman at home, while Shen Zhiyi dresses as a man outside, which makes her even more charming.
[The Left Censor-in-Chief originally wanted to leave his favorite clothes with his servant, but they were found by his wife right away, so it was not safe.]
[Later, she stuffed the clothes into her son's pocket, and the daughter-in-law thought her son had found a concubine again. The couple quarreled for three days and had a small quarrel every two days, making the family restless.]
[In this way, Zuodu Yushi scrapped his two favorite dresses, so he thought of putting the clothes outside.]
[He had already bought the house, but he heard that there had been thieves in the capital recently, so he became worried and decided to find someone he trusted to keep it.]
Seeing this, Shen Zhiyi fell silent.
The last face looks like it is constipated.
[Wouldn't he think that I, a single dog with no parents in Beijing, would be the most suitable?]
Censor Jiang didn’t expect Shen Zhiyi’s thinking to be so divergent.
No, he should have known it earlier. After all, the Right Censor-in-Chief accidentally fell on dog shit when he went out, and she spread the rumor that the Right Censor-in-Chief liked to eat dog shit.
Censor Jiang said that he regretted it. Why did he come to Shen Zhiyi to show off his presence for no reason?
Now everyone knows that he likes to wear women's clothes.
At this time, the eunuch came and rescued Censor Jiang.
Shen Zhiyi and Zhang Sheren continued to record the old emperor's words and deeds for the day.
[What is there to remember? After you empty your stomach, you have to eat. After you eat, you have to check your children's homework. After checking, you have to review memorials. After reviewing, you have to see which concubine to favor. No wonder emperors in history all died early.]
"thump."
Both Chen Decai and Zhang Sheren knelt down, and Shen Zhiyi knelt down with a puzzled look on his face.
[No, are these two people sick? They are always startled and kneel down for no reason. They don’t know that they are not allowed to kneel to anything else except the heaven, the earth, and their parents.]
