Li Dongyang felt that Fang Jifan was targeting him.
Even though Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face was calm, his heart was slightly thumped.
Why do you sound like you are mocking me?
Fang Jifan looked very serious.
"Ignorance of the people" was his greatest feeling towards the monarchs and ministers in the DPRK.
Which of these people is not extremely smart?
But unfortunately, people always have limitations. How can a person who grew up in a palace or a big house understand what a commoner in a remote place with no place to stand is thinking?
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is certainly a sage, but among the many Confucian scholars in this temple, how many of them know what these illiterate common people are like? Not to mention that these people are aloof, living in the capital, isolated from the people. Even among the gentry and scholars in this place, I'm afraid not many of them really care about what these common people are thinking."
Fang Jifan said with emotion: "My disciple Wang Shouren has been emphasizing empathy. How many people have learned the word "empathy" from books, but in fact they still have no idea about it. Someone proposed to publish an update There will be more reports from your residence so that the world will know the benefits of His Majesty¡¯s inspection in Beijing.¡±
"But the problem is that many people have forgotten that more than 90% of the people in this world are illiterate and illiterate. They can neither understand this newspaper nor are they interested in reading it. Just because they are too far away from the temple. It¡¯s so far away, as if it¡¯s at the edge of the horizon. A group of people like this hope to use Di Bao to civilize them and let them know the quality of Jingcha. Isn¡¯t this just asking for fish in a tree?¡±
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang looked ashamed.
Li Dongyang is such a smart person, but he is still a human being after all, and there will be blind spots in his thinking. In fact, this is not a question of IQ, but because of his status and situation, he simply cannot think of this.
There were countless wise men in ancient times. The articles they wrote and their methods were once so dazzling in this splendid history, so that people in later generations feel ashamed.
But as long as you are a human being, you will have limitations. With limitations, your perspective on problems will be biased.
Li Dongyang is not a narrow-minded person. At this time, he nodded calmly and said: "Yes, this method is indeed superb. Qi Guogong's practice of this method is admirable. Butis the Di Bao useless?"
"The Di newspaper is useful." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "But the Di newspaper is still official after all, and it must be meticulous. This is meant for officials all over the world to read. Officials can learn from the cautious and serious The emperor's thoughts can be found in words, but for the vast majority of people, it is useless."
"The problem that needs to be solved now is that officials and scholars can understand the imperial court's national policy and the emperor's intentions through the official newspaper, but no one understands it except them. Therefore, how to interpret the national policy and the Sacred Heart has become a matter for officials and The affairs of the scholars."
When Fang Jifan said this, he smiled, with deep meaning in his smile: "If things go on like this, problems will arise. There is only one emperor. No matter how compassionate the Sacred Heart is to the people, the person responsible for implementation and execution is responsible for explaining national policies and policies to the people of the world. People of the Sacred Heart, however, always come and go. Even if there are countless interpretations of the Four Books and Five Classics, during the Warring States Period, there were eight schools of Confucianism, and the same Analects, eight The interpretations of different kinds of people are completely different. What¡¯s more, is it still His Majesty¡¯s will?¡±
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He suddenly realized that Fang Jifan had mentioned a fatal question.
He looked at Fang Jifan with a sullen face and said, "Keep talking, keep talking."
Fang Jifan then said: "So, a terrible thing has happened in these years. As long as the imperial decree is harmful to the scholars, these things cannot be done. Not only can they not be done, but they will also be criticized. The scholars Seeing it as tyranny, there are many opponents in the temple and officials, and local officials who distort the will are everywhere. Some of these are clearly benefits to the people, but under the clamor of these people, under the influence of ordinary people, In my eyes, it has become a bad government.¡±
"But if it is a decree that is beneficial to scholars, everyone will praise it. Even if it is a beneficial decree, it is actually harmful to ordinary people. But ordinary people are taught all kinds of things and enjoy it. The country and the dynasty In the past hundred and fifty years, since Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen, has your Majesty ever thought that because of this, no one obeys or opposes the will of caring for the people. But the will of treating scholars preferentially is implemented Thoroughly, the imperial court dug into their hearts and gave them preferential treatment so that they could no longerThey must pay taxes to make them rich in the local area. Over the years, with so many conveniences, the annexation of land has reached such an extent, and how many refugees were caused at the beginning, but it is still not enough. The preferential treatment given to the scholars in the past, One cannot be missing, and it is still not enough. What they wantmore! "
Emperor Hongzhi listened very seriously. Fang Jifan's words gave him a great warning and made him tremble with excitement.
Thinking about it carefully, isn¡¯t it like this?
The gentry gradually evolved from the heirloom of poems and books to the larger and larger gentry. They could sit on equal footing with local officials and control public opinion. The court exempted them from taxes. Others farmed the land and needed to pay money and grain and be responsible for corvee labor. In a disaster year, you can't even have food to eat. However, because there was no cost, the scholars relied on their large savings to continuously purchase large amounts of land at low prices during disaster years.
Now, aren¡¯t these trends that will last forever?
But so what?
The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world. Can the emperor rule without these people? Without these people, how to stabilize people's hearts and ensure local stability
This is actually a very tangled question, and Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flickered.
Wu Jiawang, who was standing behind Emperor Hongzhi, was shocked and looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.
Fang Jifan naturally felt Wu Jiawang's gaze. He didn't care about this piece of shit at all. It sounds scary, right? He just wants to scare you to death.
"Sincethat's the case, why not let the suffering people in the world truly understand the holy will in this way? This troupe is both educational and entertaining. If your Majesty has any measures to love the people, he can be included in it. Operas are ordered to be sung by opera troupes everywhere, so that the common people know what is right and what is wrong. Your Majesty can do the so-called enlightenment yourselfwhy do you need to go through others?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought of a detailed issue and frowned: "Do you need a lot of money?"
Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't take much. Let the Jiaofang Secretary recruit some musicians. Each county can set up a theater troupe with dozens of people. The court will allocate money and food to them. From now on, whatever your Majesty has, The best strategy is to ask someone from the Jiaofang Department to collect and write the script. The script is very simple, as long as it is easy to understand, and then Then hire people to arrange the music and send it to various theater groups for performances. The theater group's performances can be free, or In the county town, you can also wander around the countryside, even if it is a place where grains are dried, you can perform on the stage. In addition, please invite some people who are good at this, appoint them as evangelists, and let them go to theater troupes in various provinces, prefectures, and counties. The inspection allows them to conduct some simple training for the troupe, and at the same time, allows them to rehearse the new play. What is your Majesty thinking, what is your Majesty going to do, and why is your Majesty doing these things? Then the people of this world can only You only need to watch the play to understand it clearly."
After a pause, Fang Jifan added: "In addition, the theater troupe also needs to be used for education. It can write some scripts about loyalty and filial piety, and order local theaters to perform. The lives of ordinary people are already difficult, and they can't wait to see a play." Well, I am grateful for His Majesty's kindness. While watching, I probably know in my heart how His Majesty loves the people, and even more aware of the benefits of this national policy. He uses this method to deliver government orders to the most remote places, even even ¡¡±
Fang Jifan said, glancing at Zhao's mother not far away: "Even in remote villages, old country women can make them understand what the Jingchao is, so if someone tells them how the Jingchao harms people, They refused to believe it.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes also followed Fang Jifan¡¯s gaze and landed on Mother Zhao.
Mother Zhao was still cheerful at this time, still muttering something to Zhao Er, and in all likelihood, she was still immersed in the content of the play just now.
Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously looked around. Almost everyone did the same.
Just such a scene really doesn¡¯t cost much.
But thousands of people were attracted and talked about it at once, and the impact was far-reaching.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile and said: "This is very good, so it should be like this. Yes, I don't know the people. I just know a little bit about it now. Successor, you usually don't go out or take two steps, but why? Can you come up with these weird things?¡±
Fang Jifan said righteously: "Your Majesty, what I said, I have the same sympathy. Deep down in my heart, what I care about the most is the people."
When Liu Jian and Li Dongyang heard this, their expressions were a little weird, and they always felt that these words sounded strange.
Hanlin Wu Jiawang¡¯s face was even more uncertain. He wanted to say something at this time, but he didn¡¯t dare to say it. In the end, he kept holding it back.
Emperor Hongzhi was in a better mood and couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone says they love the people, but around me, I am the only one who knows the people well. Those who openly claim to love the people are like crucian carp crossing the river, but those who really love the people don't know the people." Isn't it ridiculous for a man who knows the people to talk extravagantly about loving the people without knowing why? This is a good idea. If a theater troupe is to be built, the money will come from internal funds The Jiaofang Secretary is responsible for this matter and recruits musicians. The money is spent. I have nothing to be reluctant to part with. Just by making people aware of the benefits of Jingcha through just one play, as far as I am concerned, it is worth a thousand dollars." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Ah, those who openly claim to love the people are like crucian carp crossing the river, but those who truly love the people are those who know the people. Isn¡¯t it ridiculous to still talk about loving the people without knowing why? This is a good method. If a theater troupe is to be built, the money will come from within. Money out The Jiaofang Division is in charge of this matter and recruiting musicians. This money is spent, and I have nothing to be reluctant to part with. Just by performing a play just now, letting people know the benefits of Jingcha, to me, it is worth a thousand dollars. Gold cannot be exchanged.
