Chapter 38 Found the Child
When Su Jinghe said that he had run away, many ministers felt relieved. After all, he had gone out on his own, and it might be that the people who were looking for him were not careful enough. The possibility of finding him back was still very high, especially with Su Jinghe's special abilities.
But when he heard this, he happened to run into someone trying to steal something, so he stole the child away.
Collapse, in an instant, the ministers confirmed in a panic.
"Last time there were refugees coming, have they been settled?" This is because they are afraid that the refugees will become bandits.
"They've been resettled. There's cement. Don't build houses too quickly. They've already been resettled and given jobs. It definitely wasn't them."
There was a lot of work. Thanks to Su Jinghe's connections, wool mills, textile mills, printing factories, etc. were in great need of workers, and even construction teams were in great need of labor.
The refugee problem that used to be the most troublesome issue after every major disaster has now become the easiest to solve.
If you want to go back, just pay some money and we will arrange for you to go back.
It’s even easier for those who want to stay in Bian Jing, just work as a laborer!
"That shouldn't be the case. How come there are still people in Bian Jing who have become bandits?" The officials who have already discovered that the factory is a place of "cannibalism" without any bottom line, now don't understand why there are still such energetic people around Bian Jing who have not been absorbed.
Everyone was waiting for Su Jinghe to explain the reason, and Su Jinghe did not disappoint everyone. To be precise, the information provided by the system was comprehensive enough to cover the issue.
[These people are all women...huh?] Su Jinghe was shocked when he saw this. Although there were some female soldiers who turned to banditry, they were not that many.
After all, there are only three women among the 108 heroes of Liangshan, which is enough to explain—
In ancient times, women would simply be stripped of their bones and skin and eaten whole or in pieces, leaving them with far fewer opportunities to become bandits than men.
woman?
The ministers were also surprised.
"That shouldn't be the case. Our spinning mill mainly recruits women. How could there be women who can't support themselves?" someone questioned.
"Maybe he's just bad. He doesn't want to support himself through his own labor, so he chose the shortcut of becoming a robber."
A shortcut? Is it really a good path?
[Hiss, how pitiful! They are a group of women who are not recognized by society...]
Su Jinghe's words made some people feel stressed.
"What is not acknowledged must be bad."
"It's my own fault that I'm not doing well. I've even become a bandit!"
[In the beginning, a woman's husband died, and she had no man to take over her family. Her family's property was seized by her clan, so she took her young daughter and moved to the mountains, living a life like a wild man.]
"Ah..." The official who was still talking loudly, saying that this must not be the secular oppression of these self-degrading women, suddenly lost his voice.
Silence spread across the court filled with men.
We are all adults and have witnessed such incidents more than once, but this time it was Su Jinghe who brought it up.
"Well...it can't be that everyone is like this, right?" Some people even wanted to defend the "clan group" they had never met before.
[The mother and daughter initially made a living by chopping wood, hunting, and fishing. Later, the woodcutters, hunters, and fishermen would not let them do such things, so they farmed in the forest. However, they were required to pay taxes for farming. They could not afford the taxes, and gradually they could only eat wild fruits in the forest. Their clothes were tattered and they could only use leaves to cover themselves.
One night, the door to my house was even pried open, and I was almost invaded...]
"Disgusting, disgusting man. It's a shame to be associated with such a person!"
Not only do some people who are obviously capable of living occupy the living space of such incapable mother and daughter, forcing them to become "savages" bit by bit, but they even bully them again and again!
Anyone who bullies such a destitute group is not worthy of being a human being!
"Who knows if the woman is willing? Maybe she is deliberately seducing him!" The familiar voice sounded again.
"Tonight I'll find someone to climb up your window and sleep with you. If you can't refuse, then you're the one seducing me." No one argued with this voice, and this voice came coldly from the crowd.
"Who? You...I...are so disgraceful!" When such a thing happened to him, the man who could speak for the strange man without any morals also blushed, and one could even see helplessness on his face.
The feeling of beating the master to death with random punches also made the other people present feel great.
Some people also started to reason with this person.
[Fortunately, he was rescued by a strange woman who came to seek refuge with them that night. The man was thrown into the mountains and forests, and ran back the next day in tatters.
Huh? Why is the man's clothes so tattered? Did they take his clothes as compensation? That's as it should be. Both mother and son don't have any good clothes to wear.
Su Jinghe considered the context and thought that this was the case, but the system "couldn't bear" his outrageous guess and added some details.
[What? Even after being thrown out, this man still got horny. That night, he had sex with a lone wild boar. The next day, the boar attacked him all the way home, forcing him to crawl. The vengeful boar still harassed this man from time to time even after he grew up... No way, an underage boar... He... He only bullied women and children.]
Is this child you're talking about a real child? Or is it a little wild boar?
Song Shiyi was originally indignant about the women, but when he heard Su Jinghe's comments, he was really speechless.
This new woman is quite assertive, and with her joining them, the three of them feel more like a family. They finally have the right to hunt, chop wood, and fish in the mountains... Damn, they need to have strong fists. Alas, Confucius taught us that we need to have strong martial arts skills, so that we can convince others with force and sit down to have a good chat.
Did Confucius say this?
Song Shiyi is going to make a fuss, really is going to make a fuss.
[Life is getting better little by little, but not much better, just barely making ends meet.
It's just that their stories have spread, and some people disdain them, some look down on them, and some envy them...ah, envy...these women must have had a very miserable life too...
One year, two years, three years... The name of Women's Mountain spread. There were orphans who were helpless, there were poor women who were married but not only divorced but also murdered by their husbands, and there were even old women whose families were unwilling to support them and even abandoned them to the mountains...
These women, abandoned by society and the secular world, huddled together for warmth on this small hilltop.
So miserable.
Song Shiyi wanted to cry after hearing this. There was no channel for donations. If there was, he would have taken money out of his pocket.
only……
"These people are unlucky. What does it have to do with them becoming bandits and stealing things?" It was also a problem of being caught.
"No matter how hard or difficult it is, you can't steal other people's things!"
How could these people steal things?
Su Jinghe was also thinking. He felt that this group of people looked like a group of pitiful little people gathered together.
Even if there really is a figure like Lu Zhi or Wu Zetian among them, the old and the young, and the middle-aged have all been severely worn down by life. This group of people does not have the basic conditions to be robbers at all.
Can they steal anything?
Before it could be snatched away, it would probably have been caught by the owner on the spot.
[Hmm... So...
It turns out it was just a misunderstanding?
They've gradually become self-sufficient in the mountains, and some are even able to go down to work... Oh, they're working in a textile factory. Great, great, I've learned a skill... Why not see if the textile factory can expand its recruitment, or provide food and housing for employees? Forget it, I'll let my aunt open a business like this. The feudal landlords might not be happy about it, but my aunt has the world at heart.
The feudal landlords in the court:?
What are you talking about? We are not as good as a woman...
But when they think about providing employees with "free food and accommodation", the first thing they think about is not how many employees will come in to work, but how many people will cheat just to get free food, free drinks and free accommodation. When they think about this, some people already show a look of pain on their faces, as if they have already lost money.
"His aunt might not be happy about this either. How can a woman who has risen from nothing to run the number one restaurant in Bianjing be a kind person?"
After the man said this, his face changed and he regretted it.
He also remembered that the biggest difference between Su Jinghe's aunt and him was that she was Su Jinghe's relative. She was completely different from those women without any foundation or background in the story just now. So, she would...
"Ahem!" Song Renzong glanced at the person who had spoken, and found relevant information in his mind. "I remember that Lin Qing's family opened a restaurant. The textile factory will provide lunch from now on, and Lin Qing will be responsible for it."
"Yes... yes..." The man didn't dare to refuse at all and kept saying yes.
Seeing his good attitude, Song Renzong did not make things difficult for him. "Let him take charge for a year first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
As expected, we can’t offend Su Jinghe!
This person's living example also made other ministers more vigilant. Trouble comes from the mouth, especially the content about Su Jinghe, which is not nonsense.
[These people are really good.]
In order to maintain his own life, he thought about helping more people. He took the initiative to find out if there was a family that was unwilling to raise a daughter, or if there was someone who was living in poverty and wanted to die, and took them in to live with him.
Well, if these people are responsible for the protection of women and children, it will definitely be more effective than letting men do it.
Asking men to protect women is a joke from hell... The biggest threat to women in this world is men.
There was no way to refute it. After listening to the stories of "clan oppression of weak women" and "lower-level men trying to violate women", they even felt that what Su Jinghe said was right.
[I met Zhao Zongshi this time... Did I just happen to meet someone from the team that was escorting him?
That person had complained to them, saying that Zhao Zongshi, a good member of the royal family, ended up living a worse life than an ordinary person...
But shouldn’t it?】
What shouldn't be? Isn't it really hard to live like this?
In fact, when Song Renzong sent people, he was still speculating whether this matter was true or false. What if it was false? It was just a superficial conflict between father and son.
The royal family knew how cunning they were. If Song Renzong put himself in Zhao Yunrang's shoes, he would probably rather pretend that there was no father-son relationship between him and his son, just to let his son inherit the throne.
The throne represents power, supreme power. Anyone who holds power knows how good power is!
But after going there...
This family really raises their children like they are raising enemies.
Lack of clothes and food, cold porridge and cold rice were the norm. Zhao Zongshi was not even treated equally by his other brothers. He was supposed to be the elder brother, but he was ordered around like a servant.
Song Renzong couldn't bear to see this, so he asked someone to take good care of him and then said he would bring him back.
As a result, when Zhao Yunrang heard that he was going to take the child back, he quickly found a teacher for the child and was teaching him seriously the lessons he had missed for almost two years.
[She shouldn't be trying to steal Zhao Zongshi, isn't he a man? Could she be a woman disguised as a man?]
Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Song Renzong.
Then many people felt that something was wrong, and they lowered their heads and pretended to be good, as if the offensive look just now did not exist.
Although the ministers all bowed their heads, Song Renzong still gave the explanation he needed to give.
"It's a man, and he's already in the palace. How can it be hidden whether it's a man or a woman?"
Song Renzong was helpless.
One sentence convinced others.
That's true. It's really difficult for a woman to dress as a man in the palace. She has to live under the eyes of so many people every day, and her food, clothing and other expenses all have to go through other people's hands. Women also have their menstrual periods, so it's impossible to hide it at all.
[Oh, so they knew he was a man, but they just wanted to help him escape. They were responsible for sneaking him out, and then, after evading capture, they sent him away? Oh, so they sent him away...]
No, why was he sent away?
"It's only been one night and one morning, how come they're already gone?"
Someone exclaimed.
It wouldn't be that quick to clean up and find homes for stray cats and dogs on the street, right?
"He's a human trafficker, after all! He has his own channels!"
This clearly means that people have already started to spread rumors out of thin air.
[It's only been less than half an hour since I left... Ah, such real-time information! System, you're truly amazing. Why didn't you just tell me the result?]
When Su Jinghe saw this, he found that the front was actually the "first ring", which made him feel helpless.
After complaining, Su Jinghe received no feedback from the system. He felt that his system was just a silent Tik Tok app. It would recommend whatever he heard, but it was not as smart as other systems.
No interaction at all!
Yes, yes, why don’t you just tell me the result!
Everyone in the court was also shocked by this sudden turn for the worse.
"Fortunately, we didn't go directly to find that woman on the mountain..." Some people were still feeling lucky that they didn't waste time and energy.
"I've already asked someone to look for him..." Someone's swiftness of action shocked everyone.
Everyone looked around him and found that there was really no one there, so they all laughed.
"It's all in vain!"
"How could it be all in vain?" This person was overjoyed. "Mr. Chen said before that she wanted more women to join her research team. Although these women don't have any research background, they are brave and just the right fit. Besides, they have no family ties, which means there are no worries and they can devote themselves more!"
That makes a lot of sense.
Someone seemed to be reminded by his words, "Hey, if they don't want to go to your Ministry of Industry, can they come to our Ministry of Revenue?"
The Ministry of Revenue suddenly thought, "We also need such talents, brave and hardworking, who can go to sea and go abroad!"
After being interrupted like this, there were not many officials left who were still concerned about Zhao Zongshi's whereabouts. Fortunately, Su Jinghe, who was in charge of the matter, still remembered it.
They sent Zhao Zongshi to an orphanage? Hmm... that seems quite fitting. With a father who doesn't love him and a mother who can't even get a hot meal at home, the difference between him and an orphan isn't that big. If he works hard to make his father die, he'll probably fit in better. Isn't this a kind of transition from undergraduate to junior college?
Su Jinghe's jokes had zero audience in the court, no one understood them, but...
"Orphanage! There are only three orphanages around Bianjing. Don't they know what His Highness Zhao Zongshi looks like? Has anyone checked these places?"
Some people were surprised.
Some people were speechless, "It would be strange if they would check..."
That’s true… When someone’s family goes missing, the first thing they do is look for the orphanage.
"Let's go and look for him right away, just in case he's been adopted..."
Some people began to worry.
His worries were not without reason. Although the royal family of the Song Dynasty seemed to have inherited some problems of poor physical fitness and low mental state, they were all good in terms of modeling. Each of them looked so good that people would want to adopt them.
A word of advice awakened the dreamer, and someone had already sent his subordinates to the orphanage.
There are only three of them, look for them all!
[The orphanages we sent to weren't the established ones...]
What? It wasn't? He frantically paused his preparations.
[This is also a newly opened orphanage. Currently, most of the orphans are girls. There are boys, but they are few. This family has been known to everyone in Women's Mountain for a long time. Compared with other orphans with backgrounds, this family is really dedicated to raising children, but... they are poor.
Because they were poor, the orphanage was small, and they tried to fit two children into one room. There were eight children in total, nine in total including the new arrival, Zhao Zongshi.
Becoming a "newcomer" to the orphanage so quickly?
No, they still want to raise this child!
Zhao Zongshi is not young anymore, and he arrived at a very opportune time, just when everyone in the courtyard was working on the farm... Hmm, it seems he's really struggling financially, even having to farm on his own.
It would be great to farm your own land.
When Fan Zhongyan started giving basic training to soldiers in various military camps, he asked them to start farming out of loyalty.
This military farming system passed down from the Han Dynasty is really useful. It not only allows for the harvest of more food, but also consumes the excess energy of these people!
Fan Zhongyan thought that this was a good method for everyone who used it.
Let’s put ourselves in the orphanage’s shoes. They probably have no entertainment activities for the children, so they let them farm together.
Of course, the more important reason is probably poverty. Only when you have no money will you start wanting to subsidize yourself in various ways.
[This was the first time that Zhao Zongshi came into contact with farming, but he got the hang of it quickly. And because he had been short of food and clothing before and had real experience of not having enough to eat, so... he fell in love with farming?
No? He'll immerse himself in farming and unexpectedly discover his talent for it, perhaps becoming a great agriculturist? Hmm? System, are you serious? This...
This seems to fit my stereotype of the Song Dynasty emperor.]
What kind of stereotype is that!
Song Renzong didn't even want to complain anymore. He felt that Su Jinghe was really targeting him!
In his mind, what kind of people are the emperors of the Song Dynasty?
How can you feel that it is reasonable if you are good at farming?
Su Jinghe's subsequent explanation of the stereotype of the Song Dynasty emperor also convinced Song Renzong.
Song Taizu possessed high military prowess and excellent martial arts skills. Song Taizong, even on paper, was able to develop impressive military formations, but he failed to grasp the drawbacks of relying solely on a map. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly taken the Song Dynasty's military might to a new level. And then there's Song Huizong, who moonlighted as an emperor and was essentially an artist...
However, the Ming Dynasty was still more powerful. They had the General Emperor, the Craftsman Emperor, and the Taoist Emperor. When you think about it this way, the Song and Ming emperors are really on par with each other.
Hmm...it seems that Song Huizong was the first "Emperor Daojun". So it seems that the Song Dynasty was more powerful.]
Who is this Ming Dynasty? Is it our next generation?
Let’s give them the title of “more powerful”, our Song Dynasty doesn’t really need it!
Song Renzong was very sad and angry.
Song Huizong... calligraphy and painting, Daojun...
When the ministers heard the details about Emperor Huizong of Song, they felt that the future of the Song Dynasty was a little bleak.
Under such an emperor, if the court was run by good officials, it would be fine. But if they were all bad, it would be the ultimate combination of the last generation, a tyrant emperor and treacherous ministers...
When they think of the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong and the Jingkang Incident, they know that treacherous ministers must be in power.
Horrible, horrible future.
Still have to work hard!
[Why don't you just not go looking for Zhao Zongshi? I think he's quite happy farming...
When he returned to Bian Jing, all that was waiting for him was the false love from his biological father and adoptive father. No one expected him to grow up.
Even if he really inherited the throne, the people in the court did not trust him, but they had no choice, they needed an emperor on the throne...
Alas, in such an unexpected life, he was still able to be given the title of "Emperor Yingzong", which shows that he worked very hard.
It would be great if this kind of effort could be put into farming. This orphanage also seems reliable. Could it become his new family?]
No, no!
The court officials were shocked. Although they didn't have much expectations, it was too terrible to leave this person in the orphanage like this!
When Song Shiyi heard this, he finally couldn't help but speak up and wanted to "rescue" Zhao Zongshi who had fallen into poverty.
"I don't know where His Highness Zhao Shu is now... After His Majesty had a crown prince, it seemed that he wanted to make amends to His Highness Zhao Shu, so he brought him back to give him a status. The title hasn't been decided yet, but it should be a county duke."
[Huh? You're bringing him back to live a good life? Then... I think I should find him. I'll see where he is. I can stop by on my way back and pretend I brought him here. Can I stop by? Let me take a look...]
Hmm? It's actually quite good. It's in Bianjing City, in the West District. There's a new orphanage next to a new restaurant called Chunfenglou. It's great, their fish is delicious. I'll go get some for Su Shi and bring the kids back too.
No need to bother!
As soon as the ministers heard such specific news, they thought about bringing the person back immediately.
"Why not let him go and pick it up?" After listening to Su Jinghe's plan, Song Renzong thought it was a good idea. But after he opened his mouth, he received complaints from his close ministers.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to pamper him so much. It's okay to let him run for a while. It'll just give him more space to bring home a few more fish..."
Ah, that too.
Song Renzong was persuaded.
That night, Su Jinghe, who had taken a detour after get off work to check on the orphanage, really came to nothing. When he got there, he discovered that there were many more yamen runners at the gate of the orphanage.
"I heard that he saved a noble man and is going to be very successful!"
In the restaurant next door, I heard diners discussing this matter.
Su Jinghe bought the fish and left.
He was also relieved. After all, "just happened to run into Zhao Zongshi" seemed a bit far-fetched even to Su Jing and himself.
If this happened in any theater where Justice Bao was performed, he would be suspected of being involved in the "child stealing" case.
One might suspect that he staged this all on his own, hoping to gain the trust of children and take an unconventional approach to reach the pinnacle of his life.
After Zhao Zongshi was found, Su Jinghe originally thought that he would never have the chance to see this child again.
Just three days later, I saw the child in his class.
[Eh? No? Do I have to take care of another child?]
That's ok, there really isn't much difference between herding one sheep and herding a flock of sheep.
There's no need to accept this so quickly!
Song Shiyi quickly introduced.
"This is Zhao Zongshi, Duke of Yu. He will be officially conferred the title in a few days. Come and play with Your Highnesses."
Song Shiyi wasn't sure whether he would keep it, but he was sure of one thing.
The decision of whether Zhao Zongshi stays or not lies in Zui Xinglai's hands.
Song Renzong is currently really raising Zui Xinglai as the next heir and will not bypass him to find a playmate for him.
[What is Yu Meiren? Which Yu is the title of this Duke of the County? ]
"It's the 'yu' of pleasure." Song Shiyi added promptly, "His Majesty and the officials have negotiated and decided this. I hope he will live a happy life in the future."
The greatest expectation of Zhao Zongshi from all civil and military officials and even Song Renzong was that he live happily, do not covet the throne, and do not have any bad thoughts about the next emperor just because he could have obtained it but did not.
"Hoping that children live happily is the most simple and loving expectation." If what Su Jinghe thought in his heart was the same as what he said, Song Shiyi would believe his words more.
[Happy? What's this about being a happy offender? Is this really a good title to be banned? Well, I hope I can be a down-to-earth person in the future.]
It was quite timely for Zhao Zongshi to join today, as Su Jinghe arranged an outdoor experience course for them.
The source of inspiration also came from Zhao Zongshi.
Seeing that he had developed an interest in agriculture after staying in the orphanage for a while, Su Jinghe wanted the two little ones to do the same.
Only by experiencing farming yourself can you better understand the difficulties faced by ordinary people!
Now is the perfect time, the three of them can farm together.
only--
"Ouch..." Su Jinghe didn't expect that he would be the first one to make a mistake. "Ahhh, it hurts!"
I strained my back because I used too much force when hoeing the ground.
Su Jinghe supported his waist, which seemed old despite his young age, and it took him a long time to finally get rid of the pain.
"Huh... It's okay, it's okay." Tears flashed in Su Jinghe's eyes, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Song Shiyi.
Song Shiyi looked at him and said, "So there are still things you don't know. Didn't you say you've already studied it?"
If Su Jinghe had not used the hoe first, Song Shiyi was ready to use as much force as him. Now that he had learned from the previous experience, Song Shiyi avoided the same back pain crisis.
The two adults were not very good at it, but the three children were doing quite well under the guidance of the palace maids and eunuchs.
"Your Highness, it should be like this..." Some eunuchs had farming experience when they were young. Although they have been in the harem for so long, fortunately they have not forgotten it and they look quite capable of it.
In addition to having the guidance of "professionals", there is also a talented person.
Zhao Zongshi took his own small hoe and started to turn the soil happily. He didn't make it difficult for himself, but his movements were very quick, and he soon finished hoing a piece of soil.
"I can't dig this clod of earth."
This is what I learned in the orphanage. When you encounter such a situation and you are powerless to do anything, don't do anything and call an adult to solve it.
Zhao Zongshi could only experience such a normal lifestyle after having such an "unusual" experience.
One has to admit that his living environment is quite bad.
"Our task today is to plant seeds in our own plots of land and take care of them constantly. When they grow, we can compare who has planted the best seeds."
The seeds that Su Jinghe gave everyone were the famous "peas" in later generations!
If there is a chance to teach these children in the future, Su Jinghe plans to tell them about the "pea experiment" and start laying the foundation for teaching biology in the future.
certainly……
At this time, Su Jinghe felt that he could only teach Princess Fukang and Zui Xinglai for one more year at most. When Zui Xinglai grew up and needed a proper education, he would definitely not be allowed to teach!
Normally, one would look for a teacher who is highly respected and virtuous. He should be a true great scholar!
For a young man like him, being a kindergarten teacher is already a good thing.
When "early childhood teacher" Su Jinghe tried to pick up the hoe and start working again, he was stopped by his kind-hearted students.
"No, Teacher Su, you should let Zhishu come."
Zhishu was a palace maid and one of the people who taught the three children how to farm.
Damn it, the kid has seen through my vulnerability.
Su Jinghe's hands froze, and Song Shiyi thought that he felt that this was "looking down on him". He was thinking that if Su Jinghe got stubborn and insisted on hoeing the ground by himself, how should he help him without leaving any trace.
The result is that my inner voice is...
[Wow, our Princess Fukang is so considerate. She saw through my vulnerability right away! I will always support Princess Fukang's ascension to the throne! Then I'll start working four days a week and resting three days a week, enjoying a normal working life. This ten-day work-one-day-rest lifestyle is unbearable!]
What? Work four days and rest three days?!
If Princess Fukang could really implement such a system after she came to the throne, Song Shiyi felt that he could make a decision that went against his ancestors and follow Su Jinghe to support Princess Fukang to take the throne!
Not to mention him, even the other ministers became jealous when they heard this.
Busy, they are really busy!
I can't refuse this kind of rest system at all.
"Do more, dream less." The cold-blooded Lu Yijian shattered the illusions of some people. "You'd better tell me what you wrote first, and then go back and dream about it. Otherwise..."
Otherwise, you'll just let me sleep forever, right?
The official was so frightened by the ruthless version of Lu Yijian that he had imagined in his mind that he came to his senses on the spot and began to seriously summarize and report.
The farming work was successfully completed. Among the two teachers and three students, the only one who was lazy was teacher Su Jinghe.
When the get out of class was over, Zhao Zongshi looked at his land with a lingering look in his eyes.
He never looked at people with such reluctance!
Song Shiyi also observed this and began to believe what Su Jinghe said, "Zhao Zongshi is quite talented in farming."
Passion must be one of the talents! With such passion, if he really puts it into farming, then Zhao Zongshi's future achievements will not be too bad.
But...if in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were still farmers among the various schools of thought, now although there are "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans", the honorary status of farmers is not low, but there are still few people who can have a high social status by doing this seriously.
Why……
But it’s not bad either. This should be a relatively good result for Zhao Zongshi?
Song Shiyi sighed in his heart.
"Don't worry, if you can't come in the future, we will help you watch over it!"
Princess Fukang knew Zhao Zongshi, but she knew even more clearly that he and her younger brother Zui Xinglai were competitors, so she only verbally promised to take care of the land.
"You can come often and take a look!" Zui Xinglai was not as smart as Princess Fukang and did not understand these things. She was quite happy to have a new friend, Zhao Zongshi.
Zhao Zongshi looked at the two little kids who were much younger than him, thinking about how they had just been working hard on the farm. When he came here, he told himself not to have any feelings for them.
The royal family is a place without family affection.
But now I couldn't help but say goodbye to the two little guys with some reluctance.
Before leaving, he said to the carrot heads seriously, "Don't worry, I will not compete with you for the throne in the future. I am not interested in this. I like farming."
This is really like it.
Song Shiyi sighed.
But this is also really stupid.
Even Su Jinghe could see that he was stupid.
[Oh my, can you even say that directly? Where do you think His Majesty is?! Especially an emperor in his prime, he's always very possessive of his things. Saying that now is no different from telling him you hope for his death. Our Majesty still has the Xuanjiansi as his eyes and ears!]
Originally, even the ears and eyes might not be able to tell...
Song Shiyi looked at Su Jinghe and felt it was really magical.
Su Jinghe was obviously worried about Zhao Zongshi, but he actually let these things go through his secondary analysis and then directly reach the ears of Song Renzong.
ha……
Song Renzong was quite powerless.
"Actually, I'm not that possessive."
Song Renzong looked at the mountain of documents in front of him and just wanted someone to appear and save him from the dire situation.
"It would be great if you could finish reviewing these memorials for me."
"Da da da..." Steady and calm footsteps were heard. Song Renzong looked and saw that it was Lu Yijian who was holding some memorials in his arms, and the person following behind him was holding even larger memorials.
"How come there is still one?" Song Renzong was a little sad and angry. He wanted to raise Zui Xinglai or Princess Fukang immediately. It would be best if she could start to help him solve his problems and help him review memorials naturally. That would be the best!
"Why is it still me?" Su Jinghe didn't understand. He looked at Song Shiyi, somewhat unbelievable, and asked again.
"Are you serious? Aren't you going to replace me this year? Will there be a new teacher?"
Su Jinghe really didn't understand! He taught from 1040 to 1041, which was fine, but he really couldn't teach for just a few months, as that would affect the children's learning progress. But, but...
It’s already 1042!
"Is it still me this year? If I continue teaching, I will really be responsible for providing academic enlightenment to the princes." Su Jinghe's expression was a little bitter, "I really don't have this ability."
"Aren't you already initiating enlightenment?" Song Shiyi patted Su Jinghe's shoulder. "I heard they're already looking for one. His Majesty wants to find a more reliable scholar for the two princes, but some people are not very happy when they hear that Princess Fukang will be taught as well."
Song Shiyi was indignant. "These people are really old-fashioned. Classes are not about anything else. What's wrong with teaching both boys and girls together?"
"That's right, you Song Dynasty are too old-fashioned!" Su Jinghe agreed, feeling that it was a bit obvious. The Song Dynasty should use "we", so he quickly cursed a few more times.
"My aunt runs a girls' school, and someone's spreading rumors that the students will be sent to sleep with some high-ranking official after graduation! I'm floored. If these people only think about getting into the big boss's bed all day, why don't they just do it themselves?"
I originally said this to divert attention, but Su Jinghe ended up saying that he was angry.
“I really don’t understand!”
The Song Dynasty was so feudal! It was from the Song Dynasty that incompetent men began to restrict women! One by one, they were unhappy with their own lives, so they began to demand that women remain widows for their deceased husbands. They also demanded that women be well-educated and polite, but if they didn't learn, they would treat their incompetent husbands as gods.
It's true, those with ability are always dominating the outside world, while those without ability are bullies at home, bullying the weak and vulnerable groups all day long!
In the court, the officials who were carefully planning the selection for the "Silk Road" looked at each other in bewilderment.
No, the rules they set weren't particularly strict for women, were they? They even relaxed a lot of the requirements!
"How about relaxing the requirements a bit?" "I don't think piano skills are necessary. There's no need to consider piano skills a specialty, right? What if you're not in good physical shape?"
"As a specialty, I think it's fine. We can also promote our music, chess, calligraphy, and painting abroad! The six arts of a gentleman are similar!"
They started arguing again.
At this time, someone said quietly, "Good pianos are very expensive. If people abroad can also afford it, these nobles will spend more money to buy pianos and exchange a piano for..."
"It's absolutely necessary! Special students! We only need to screen these special students for their qualities and their level of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. We can't just leave them abroad like this."
This person was not reluctant to see these people "leave", but was afraid that they would stay abroad and leak more information about the Song Dynasty.
In 1042, besides Su Jinghe still being a kindergarten teacher for the little Princess Fukang and Zui Xinglai, and the official start of the Silk Road personnel selection, the most important thing was -
Spring Examination!
The imperial examination in 1042 will bring the famous Wang Anshi to the Song Dynasty!
Su Jinghe has also been looking forward to him serving as an official in the court for a long time!
There is also Sima Guang, who is equally powerful as him, and so on Sima Guang.
"No, how come you're already married without my knowledge? You're even in mourning already? Your life is so full!"
No, what kind of mortal enemy is this? How can you sum up mourning as a fulfilling life?
Song Shiyi was silent for a moment.
Also looking at Sima Guang's gossip, the system provided Su Jinghe with another gossip.
[What! Is someone really planning to cheat in this Spring Examination?! Hey...are you crazy? They were so strict last time, and you're still planning to go against the grain this time? If you're truly incompetent, then don't even bother entering the imperial court of our Great Song Dynasty!]
The officials who heard Su Jinghe say this all agreed with him.
The Song Dynasty today is no longer the Song Dynasty that could be destroyed by others!
They wished they could split one person up and use him as three. People without abilities couldn't survive at all! They would be thrown away by Lu Yijian as useless things!
as well as……
Who is cheating? Explain clearly!
The Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for the Spring Examination, was really a bit overwhelmed, and so were the people who were arranged to be examiners, headed by Ouyang Xiu.
He happened to be assigned a very important task by His Majesty - to rectify the imperial examination system.
This is not only about rectifying the examination halls, but also about rectifying the current unhealthy trends in the literary world. Many "great scholars" rely on their fame and strength to revise the "meanings of words and phrases" every year or even every month, and the court is forced to accept their "updates". This is simply bullying for many candidates in remote areas!
In addition, the current literary world is too flashy and not pragmatic enough. Song Renzong wants a more useful literary world!
result……
How could I be in such a situation?
Ouyang Xiu was a little overwhelmed.
