It's easy to be impulsive in the morning, so it's not Zhu Youxiao's fault.
The pretty girl was wearing thin clothes in the hot weather, and she was dressing him and tying his clothes next to him, so close to him. It was a normal physiological reaction, and Zhu Youxiao really couldn't be blamed.
Of course, this was not the first time he had acted on impulse. That night, when the night was high and windy, Zhu Youxiao did something bad and made Li Chengcheng his woman.
So, Li Chengcheng was not lying when he said it didn't hurt.
Li Chengcheng perfunctorily ignored his friend's doubts and concerns, his eyes still a little evasive. Fortunately, the cat distracted Fan Xiaohui and relieved her of a lot of embarrassment.
Just then, a palace maid came to inform that the Emperor was going to Shaoyingyuan and summoned Li Chengcheng to accompany him.
"Be careful, don't let the emperor punish you." Fan Xiaohui felt that her friend was lying about meeting him, and that it must be the emperor's punishment, so she reminded him with concern.
Li Chengcheng's face turned red again. He agreed casually and fled out of the side hall. He was really afraid that his good friend would keep talking about this.
With the Academy of Sciences outside and the Young Talents Academy inside, Zhu Youxiao did not relax and placed high hopes on young people and children. Traditional ideas are too difficult to change, so starting from the childhood should be a good approach.
If we want to improve the popularization rate of education among the people, it is not enough to just issue imperial decrees and shout slogans. If the living standards of the people do not improve, how can they afford to educate their children?
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also thought of a solution, which was to link tax reduction with education, so that the people could benefit and would have the enthusiasm to let their children receive education.
In short, it's about linking education and taxation. This is different from the previous student exemptions. It's not about becoming a scholar or a juren, as those are too difficult to achieve, and there's no need for ordinary people to reach that level of education.
There are only two levels of education, primary school and junior high school, which last for eight years in total. Children start at the age of six or seven and are considered to be completed by the age of fourteen or fifteen. This does not add too much burden to the people, and the fourteen or fifteen age group does not interfere too much with family work.
If you reach primary school level, your tax will be reduced by one-fifth, and the period will remain unchanged for ten years; if you reach junior high school level, your tax will be reduced by one-third, and the period will also be ten years.
In fact, according to Zhu Youxiao's long-term vision, agricultural taxes must be continuously reduced, and the development of industry and commerce is the guarantee of financial abundance.
But this could not be accomplished overnight. Zhu Youxiao could only let the farmers work hard for a few more years and use the opportunity of universal education to reduce their taxes in disguise.
In other words, it's not that you get tax exemptions only after you pass the primary school entrance exam. Rather, it's that starting from the moment you send your child to school, allowing ordinary people to immediately benefit, that truly acts as an incentive.
As for whether you can successfully obtain a primary school diploma after five years, the court is very lenient and will exempt you for ten years. If you still can't pass the primary school exam, how stupid must you be?
Not to mention others, look at Xiao Wuyue from Shaoying Academy. She had already caught up with the level of senior students in the midterm exam. Even though she was at the bottom of the class, Zhu Youxiao was surprised and impressed.
To be honest, there are still geniuses in this world. While others work hard, geniuses learn by playing around, leaving you completely in the dark. How can you complain?
At this rate, Xiao Wuyue should have no problem getting her primary school diploma in the final exam this year.
Zhu Youxiao was delighted and impressed, but he also remembered the little girl's request for something to be met. What kind of request could a child make? It was probably something related to eating, drinking, and having fun. I am the emperor, it would be strange if I couldn't do it.
Today happened to be the emperor's day off, although it was not specified as Sunday. Watching the children running and playing, Zhu Youxiao was in a very happy mood.
With a change of environment and a different mood, Zhu Youxiao did not regard this as an inspection at all. He just walked around and took a look, and even changed his clothes into those of a palace guard.
A group of children came running over to kowtow and shout "Long live the emperor". Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see such a scene! Except for the lovely little Wuyue.
I haven't traveled incognito for a long time, so I decided to try it out in Shaoyingyuan.
"What's wrong, Chengcheng?" The emperor noticed something was wrong with Li Chengcheng, turned around, and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm not dressed right?"
Li Chengcheng felt a warm happiness in his heart when he was addressed so intimately. He looked at him carefully, stepped forward and carefully smoothed out a wrinkle on his sleeve, and said with a smile: "No matter how the emperor looks, he is still energetic, and he can't hide his royal nobility."
Zhu Youxiao chuckled, reached out and touched Chengcheng's face, and naturally took the girl's hand as he slid down, then turned around to watch the children play again.
Holding the emperor's warm big hand, Li Chengcheng stood obediently beside the emperor, looking at the scenery and people with him, with a happy smile on his face.
Zhu Youxiao looked for a while, then walked up the path beside the lake. Li Chengcheng followed the emperor, his steps brisk and not hurried at all.
There were fewer children walking along the lake. For safety reasons, railings were raised along the lake, and the teacher warned them not to go into the water.
The green shade covers the roof and the lake is sparkling, so you can feel the coolness without going into the water.
Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips, feeling a special feeling for the lake in Xiyuan. Historically, it was in Xiyuan that a young carpenter accidentally fell into the water while playing on a boat, became ill, and eventually died.
Falling into the water and getting sick could be due to shock or water choking on the lungs. Although it was difficult to treat in ancient times, it would not be fatal quickly.
Like Emperor Taichang, the young carpenter took the elixir presented by the ministers, called "Linglu Drink", and eventually became bedridden and died.
I won't take any elixirs or magic medicines. I'm trying to save my life. Anyone who dares to offer me medicine will be put in jail and fed for a year or two. I'll see if he survives.
"Your Majesty——" Li Chengcheng suddenly signaled with his eyes.
Following Li Chengcheng's gaze, there was a small stone pavilion shaded by the trees on the side of the road. A little girl was sitting there, facing the book on the stone table, scratching her ears and mumbling non-stop.
