Cai Yan then said: "Sage Kong's words are so disconnected. They fit the three categories of women, sons, and villains. Using these three words to comfort the king is to remind the king to pay attention to the three types of traitors around him. This is like Han Feizi's theory of the Eight Traitors: The ways of mortal ministers. There are eight techniques for becoming an adulterer: one is: sharing the same bed; the second is: being by the side; the third is: father and brother; the fourth is: nourishing the disaster; the fifth is: loving the people; sixth: Said: popular; seventh said: mighty; eighth said: four directions. And the daughter, son, and villain of the sage Confucius correspond to these three things: the father and the brother who share the same bed."
Liu Bin asked in confusion: "The father and brother who share the same bed are here. What does it mean? What does this have to do with the woman, son, and villain?"
This time Cai Yan did not dare to laugh, and answered honestly: "The so-called sharing the same bed means that the lady loves children and is lascivious. This is the master's confusion. It is entrusted to the danger of Yan. She takes advantage of being drunk and full. When you ask for what you want, this is the art of listening. When you are a minister of others, you should use gold and jade in your affairs. To confuse the master, this is called sharing the same bed. And by the side, it means: you laugh at the dwarf, learn from the left and right, this person is the master It is not ordered but only Wei Wei is not used. And Nuonuo first intends to observe the appearance and appearance, and is the one who first controls the heart. All of these are advancing and retreating, and they should all be on the same track to change the main heart. Be a minister. The internal affairs are played well with gold and jade, and the external affairs are illegal. To make them become their masters, this is called being by the side. And the fathers and brothers refer to: the side family, the son, the master's beloved; the ministers, court officials, and the master's rescue. It is a plan. All of these are done to the best of one's ability, and the master must listen. Those who serve as ministers serve the prince's side room to speak to their children, receive ministers and officials to make appointments with them, and when things are done, they will be promoted to nobles and riches to persuade their hearts. Those who offend their master are called father and brother."
Liu Bin finally understood this time. This is what Confucius said about feelings. Liu Bin cursed secretly: The saint speaks so concisely. Compared to Han Feizi's bedfellows, father and brother. Much simpler. It¡¯s all summed up in one sentence. But how many of us mediocre people from later generations can figure out your old man¡¯s intentions?
After Liu Bin sighed for a while, he told Zhang Yan and others about Guo Jiade's idea.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "This little Guozi is full of evil ideas. He can even think of such bad things."
Liu Bin also smiled and said: "Yan'er, please don't talk about him. Besides, as long as the idea works, you don't care whether he is bad or not. But the women's department cannot be opened yet. This matter is just like what I told you before. , you have to do it slowly. This also depends on your own efforts in the future. Only when more talented women appear and can become officials like Huang Shuo, will it be possible to finally improve the status of you women. That's right. As the saying goes: God helps those who help themselves. It is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem simply by relying on what system I prescribe to solve it rigidly."
Zhang Yan nodded heavily to express her understanding.
Liu Bin held Zhang Yan's hand tightly to show his support for her. For a time, the room with four people seemed to be a world for two people.
Cai Yan and Ouyang Lan looked on with great emotion and envy. In the end, Cai Yan also put his hand on Zhang Yan and Liu Bin's hands.
Liu Bin and Zhang Yan smiled at Cai Yan at the same time, and held Cai Yan's little hand tightly.
Suddenly, there was a voice like a mosquito buzzing: "There is still me." But it turned out that it was Ouyang Lan who didn't want to be left out. He mustered up the courage to whisper with a blush on his face.
Liu Bin smiled, pulled up Zhang Yan and Cai Yan, and walked to Ouyang Lan's side. He also held Ouyang Lan's little hand in it. The four people's hands were tightly held together, and the four people's hearts were also tightly attached to each other.
The next day, Liu Bin canceled a meeting to discuss women's subjects with civil and military officials. And he and Guo Jia and others were connected, busy, and prepared.
When the next day comes, Liu Bin, Guo Jia and others have everything ready. Liu Bin once again summoned all his civil and military ministers for a meeting to discuss.
Liu Bin also did not move Cheng Heng and Chen Lin away from each other during this meeting. Although Liu Bin knew that the words of these two people were the sharpest and the most difficult to deal with. But this kind of public discussion of administrative laws. Difficulties and problems cannot be avoided. Otherwise, this kind of brainstorming meeting will have no practical significance. It would be better to establish a one-word dictatorship. After all, that kind of dictatorship is not so fake. And the truth becomes clearer with more arguments. There is just constant analysis and discussion. Only then can it be gradually improved. Even if your point of view cannot be adopted, it is because it still has imperfections and has not yet had the time to formulate. And it¡¯s definitely not this brainstorming session that¡¯s holding you back.
After the meeting started, before all the civil and military officials could tell Liu Bin what they had been thinking about for the past two days, they tried to dissuade Liu Bin. Liu Bin took the lead and said: "Gentlemen, after I have been thinking about it for two days, the words you have made to dissuade me are all good advice. After careful consideration, I feel that we should not be unconventional or sensational. Therefore, all my previous proposals are cancelled. We in Youzhou will not open a female department, nor will we appoint female officers. What do you think?"
It¡¯s so awkward to be the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs! It¡¯s like I¡¯ve exerted all my strength.??A punch. But it failed and hit the air. You must know that the remarks they prepared today were something they had carefully considered for two days. How much pressure have these people withstood in these two days? How much effort did it take? Only they themselves know this best. But they couldn't say anything yet. I can only swallow the bitterness in my stomach.
Fortunately, the final result has not changed. These people are quite satisfied. So they all praised: "My lord is holy."
Liu Bin and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled. Things were indeed developing as they expected. So Liu Bin nodded slightly, and someone immediately shouted loudly: "Lord, I have something to report to my lord."
The person who shouted was none other than Xun You Xun Gongda, Liu Bin's subordinate.
Liu Bin was happy in his heart: Yes, this time he finally acted as planned. Liu Bin nodded and said, "Speak."
Xun You said unhurriedly: "My lord, although we no longer open a women's department in compliance with the people's wishes, the incident of drowning of female infants raised by my lord earlier must not be ignored. My lord should formulate laws and regulations for the protection of children. Even biological children must not be abused." Kill. Those who commit this crime shall be punished as intentional homicide. If there are practical difficulties and cannot be raised, they can be entrusted to an orphanage run by the local government to be raised on their behalf."
Liu Bin nodded and said, "What Gongda said makes sense. What do you think?"
These ministers opposed Liu Bin¡¯s establishment of a women¡¯s department. I just don¡¯t want a woman to disrupt the situation between the government and the public. But they themselves are not without sympathy. A cold-blooded person who doesn't care about the life of a baby girl. Not to mention the suggestion made by Xun You. Not only does it protect the life of baby girls, it also applies to baby boys. It can be said to be an excellent behavior to promote population reproduction.
So no one stood up to oppose Xun You's opinion. They all said one after another: "This is a very good intention. It should be so."
Liu Bin said with a smile: "Okay, okay. I, the officials in Youzhou, are all kind-hearted people who are compassionate and compassionate. Congratulations." Then Liu Bin said to Gu Yong, who was responsible for formulating laws and regulations: "Yuan Tan! You can list this law. Incorporate it into our Youzhou law. And make it known to the people."
Gu Yong promised. Other civil and military officials were also extremely happy to be praised by Liu Bin.
But just when everyone was enjoying themselves, Xun Yu also stepped forward and said: "My lord, one of my subordinates also has something to say to Qin¡ª¡ª"
"speak."
"My lord, the other day, all the gentlemen said that it is rare for women to be ignorant and they should not be officials. My subordinates agree. However, it is rare for women to be ignorant. That is a lack of etiquette. Education comes from it. And in the universe, men and women are equally equal, and there are Half of the people are extremely ignorant and extremely unattractive. My subordinates secretly believe that if these half of the people were educated, they would not be so miserable. For example: Lady Cai, the daughter of Mr. Cai, the mistress. She has read a lot of books since she was a child. She knows etiquette and righteousness. Know the integrity and shame. Now I am the mistress of Youzhou, and I am also the lord's virtuous wife. Therefore, the lord can order the establishment of a girls' school. Let the daughters of the common people of the right age enter the school. Make them know what is right and wrong, know etiquette, justice, and know integrity and shame." Xun Yu did not Follow the planned steps calmly.
"What Wen Ruo said is extremely reasonable. I want Youzhou to imitate the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. How can we make half of the people ignorant? This proposal should be feasible." After Liu Bin finished speaking. Then he looked around at the civil and military officials and asked, "Wen Ruo's strategy is extremely good. I wonder what you guys can add to it?"
What can be said about these civil and military figures? It was they who first brought up the idea that women are ignorant. Now Xun Yu also agrees with it very much and has come up with a solution for this. The lord Liu Bin also strongly agreed. And under the banner of Confucius, there is no distinction between education and distinction. What else could they say? Could it be said that women can only be slaves and animals, and cannot go to school or study? Are you going to knock her down into the mud and then step on ten thousand feet so that she can never stand up again?
I guess that¡¯s what they said. Their reputation as a sage will soon fall. And Xun Yu suggested inside. He also subtly mentioned Cai Yan, the wife of Cai Yong's daughter Liu Bin. If he objected to this, he would definitely offend both Cai Yong and Liu Bin.
¡°Besides, Xun Yu¡¯s suggestion does not touch on the fundamentals. Isn't it just to go to school? There are strong buyers and strong sellers in the world. Are there still people who are forced to go to school? Which of those people would let their daughters go to school? They have the money to go to school, but the people won't use it to improve their lives? The so-called proposal of Xun Yu, a female student, is nothing more than a moon in the water. It can't be very effective.
With these ideas. In addition, these ministers had just been praised by Liu Bin and did not want to find Xi so soon. So these civil and military ministers also agreed.
"But these civil and military ministers really never imagined that there are people who buy and sell by force in the world. There are really people who are forced to go to school.
After Liu Bin saw that all these ministers agreed, Liu Bin said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, all the ministers agree with your proposal. But I still feel that it is wrong."??That's not right, I need to ask you. "
None of the civil and military officials expected that Liu Bin would bring someone to make up for him. But since Liu Bin is dissatisfied. These civil and military officials are also optimistic about its effectiveness. So no one from them came out to interrupt, they all just watched without thinking about their own business. How could they have imagined that this was a plan planned by Guo Jia in advance.
So when Xun Yu heard Liu Bin's question, he calmly replied: "My lord, may I ask?"
"It is a trivial matter to open a girls' school. But how to ensure that the people will send their daughters to school? And if the people cannot afford to go to school, how can they send their daughters to school?"
"Lord, according to your instructions, we have opened many free schools in various places in Youzhou to enlighten the children of the people. Now if we add girls' schools, it will not cost too much. We can completely stipulate that: for ordinary people Children who are six years old and of school age must be educated in school. Within two years, they will receive compulsory education in Youzhou. All learning fees and gifts are free of charge. If the children of ordinary people do not send them to a scholar when they are of school age, they will be punished for the crime of ruining the future of others. The crime is the same as tax evasion. . After two years of compulsory education, ordinary people's children can go to school voluntarily. If parents are unable to support their children to go to school, and their children want to go to school but are able to go to school, the college teachers can report it to the local government. The local government will The government will advance it for him first. When he becomes a man, he can repay it with his military service. Women can repay it with his dowry. Moreover, after two years of compulsory education, in addition to poetry and classics, he can also teach him martial arts and martial arts. Skills can enable them to make a living in the future, in addition to knowing right from wrong, knowing etiquette, justice, and integrity. In this way, there will never be people who don¡¯t want their children to go to school. And in the near future, there will be countless in Youzhou. Endless civil and military talents.¡±
"Okay! Well said! Wen Ruo's policy is the best policy for a strong country. It can be done!" After Liu Bin finished speaking, he said to Cai Yong: "Master Yue Zhang, this is how I should handle education in Youzhou. You can do it properly. Arrange it.¡±
"Zhong Wenwu and Cai Yong who didn't know the truth were all a little confused. Are there really people who are forced to go to school? However, they had no objection before. Of course it¡¯s not easy to object now. Moreover, Xun Yu proposed compulsory education. And that doesn¡¯t just refer to girls. Boys are also included. This is difficult to distinguish and oppose.
So Cai Yong agreed worthy of recognition.
But Cai Yong just agreed. Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "My lord. I also have something to say to my lord."
The civil and military officials are a little stupid. Why does Guo Jia talk like this?
Liu Bin said with a smile: "Tell me."
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "My lord. The Master said: A wife and her husband are equal. In the past three generations of Ming kings, they must respect their wives and have a way to do it. Now, all the civil and military officials in Youzhou are doing their best for the lord's great cause. His wife The contribution of his virtuous wife is indispensable. My lord has given his wife a prestigious post to commend her virtuousness."
When all the civil and military officials heard Guo Jia's words, they were all secretly amused. Guo Jia is afraid of his wife's reputation, which is very famous in Youzhou. This Guo Jia must be at home, resisting the pressure from his wife. That's why he is here today to ask for a title for his wife.
With these thoughts, these officials were all proud and relieved.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of?the?strength of the Golden Hairpin Alliance, which is mainly composed of women, formed by Zhang Yan, it is not just a decoration. Almost all the rich ladies in Youzhou are not members of the Golden Hairpin Alliance. With Zhang Yan's time and planning for a day, all the female relatives of these civil and military ministers knew the news and mobilized. Although these women will not interfere in their political affairs, it is always inevitable to nag and talk about old things. These civil and military ministers are loyal and committed. It is impossible to listen to them. But who can be ruthless if we are not just grass and trees? The feelings of the wives, daughters, and even mothers of these ministers are clearly there.
Therefore, one can imagine the pressure these civil and military ministers are under. But now Guo Jia has taken the lead in making this suggestion, and it is only an honorary title without actual duties. It is just a reward given to the ministers for their achievements. It totally gives them the best of both worlds. How could these ministers not be proud of their own integrity and at the same time breathe a sigh of relief?
So when Liu Bin asked everyone for their opinions again, all the ministers agreed.
Liu Bin was amused in his heart: Guo Jiade¡¯s plan was indeed good. The reaction was expected every step of the way. Now it depends on the last step.
At this time, Xun Yu said at the right time: "My lord, since there is a position of great destiny, then there must be a grade test. If there is a grade test, there must be promotion and demotion. In this way, if one's virtues and talents are measured in the grade test, . If there are those with outstanding moral character and talent among them, can they also be given official positions as a reward?"
Xun Yu¡¯s qualifications can be said to be unrivaled in Youzhou. Moreover, Xun Yu was in charge of the evaluation of officials. Ordinary officials would never dare to openly contradict Xun Yu. Especially Xun Yu is just??Inquiry about this matter according to the procedures of the human resources department. Then no one will jump out and make irresponsible remarks.
But no matter what, Xun Yu¡¯s proposal. But it also touched upon the matter of appointing female officials. Cai Yong still couldn't help but come out and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo. Didn't Lord Taiwei just say that there will no longer be a female department to appoint female officers? Why are you asking here?"
Xun Yu laughed and said: "Confucius said: Isn't it true? During the period of Tang and Yu, it was very prosperous. There were only nine women. Moreover, even if the emperor of Zhou passed on the propriety and righteousness to the country, there were still women who could be the pillars of the country. If there are great sages among women, why not serve as officials in the court? This is a sign of a prosperous age."
After Xun Yu finished these two sentences, Cai Yong was silent at that time. If Cai Yong was less knowledgeable, Cai Yong might still refute Xun Yu. It's a pity that Cai Yong is a great master. Cai Yong understood everything Xun Yu said. Naturally, Cai Yong would not be cunning here.
In this way, under Guo Jia's planning, this matter passed smoothly. Moreover, there are many officials, big and small, under Liu Bin. No one is dissatisfied. Liu Bin finally paved the way for Huang Shuo, a genius, to become an official.
But this is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. The current situation is just that Liu Bin has gained the understanding and support of a group of his subordinates. As for the effect and response of complete implementation, it is still unknown.
However, Liu Bin, who had spent a lot of effort to get rid of all his ministers, thought that the response from the people would be extremely fierce, and made certain preparations for this. But Liu Bin's preparations were of no use at all.
In the past half a month, the news of Liu Bin's kidnapping has spread to every corner under Liu Bin's rule. Coupled with the planned reports from various newspapers in Youzhou. Now the common people are discussing nothing else but how abominable Cao Cao is and how he deserves to be killed. Those enthusiastic young people all petitioned the local government for orders from tens of thousands of people to attack Cao Cao.
