The master said so, so they naturally obeyed the order.
After drawing the topography, after half a month of busy work, Chu Ze not only drew the blueprint, but also made a budget.
Chu Ze took these things and went straight to the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and dumped it directly to Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Biao read it, he only replied with one word: "Yes."
"Okay, let's go to the morning court tomorrow. Chu Ze, please take this out and let's discuss it in the morning court." Building a school is not a trivial matter and requires a lot of money. The court meeting is inevitable.
Chu Ze said: "Okay."
The next day, Chu Ze stood languidly in the court hall, yawning from time to time.
Not everyone can do this early morning thing.
For example, he can't do it.
Chu Ze just wanted to put down his picks, go back to his house, lie down in his soft quilt, and have a good sleep comfortably.
But not today.
He had to do business today.
Once this matter is over, Chu Ze must go back and have a good sleep first.
Chu Ze was standing in the court hall in a state of wandering, completely ignoring the vague and nonchalant looks next to him.
Just as he was thinking about it, a chamberlain suddenly arrived with an order: "The Emperor has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Everyone knelt down and said: "Long live the Emperor, His Royal Highness Jin An."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the dragon chair and sat down.
"Everyone, please get up and tell me if you have anything to say." Zhu Yuanzhang sat on top with a majestic look and glanced at everyone majestically.
If it were to change as usual, all the adults would come forward one after another to report.
But today's situation is a bit special.
Chu Ze is here today.
This person doesn't usually come, but when he comes it's unusual.
Especially some time ago, this man caused a tragedy - Zuo Ying's leg.
Although Chu Ze said that he did not know about this, in the eyes of everyone, they all agreed that this was what he ordered.
Because he wanted Zuo's garden and was afraid that Zuo Chong would not let go, he used such a dirty trick.
When he comes today, he must be planning something bad again.
So they didn't move today, waiting for Chu Ze to make a move.
Regardless of whether it will make you angry or not, it is always okay to watch the fun first.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that everyone was looking at Chu Ze secretly, so he directly called Chu Ze's name and said, "You speak first."
Chu Ze: "Yes."
He took out the human blueprint and budget and said: "Learning is the foundation of a country and the basis of national development. Only by continuous learning can our Ming Dynasty become stronger. But we believe that if we want to learn, we cannot just learn one thing. Governing the country Civil servants are needed, but to protect the country and the people, military generals are also needed; our Ming Dynasty is a big agricultural country, and most of our people rely on farming to support their families; there are also merchants, if there are no merchants, they travel all over the country and bring us the characteristics of other places. , our life cannot be so moist.
No one is born with these things, they all need to be learned. If you don’t learn how to write and make articles to govern the world? Don’t you learn how to lead troops in war? How about knowing how to plant? How do you know how to do business without losing money without learning? So we thought, since everyone wants to learn, why not open a school to teach them specifically? "
Chu Ze's voice fell, and the whole court was in an uproar.
It was obvious that before Chu Ze finished speaking, some people could not sit still.
"Chu Ze, what do you mean?"
"That's right, we agree with you that you need to learn articles and martial arts, but what does this have to do with businessmen and farmers?"
"Farmers are farmers from birth. They don't need to be taught at all. They know how to farm. Is there anything to argue about this?"
"Mr. Chu, could he be blinded by the false reputation in front of him and still want to open a school for them? Isn't this a waste?"
"That is, if we have this money, it is more practical to use it to provide relief to the victims."
Looking at the people who were quarreling more and more fiercely, Chu Ze suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "The princes, generals and ministers have different kinds of things!"
There was a quarrel in the court.
"Let's not talk about it. Everyone knows Xu Da and Xu Shuai's background, right?"
Farmers.
Everyone knows this.
Chu Ze said: "Then according to your theory, does he only deserve to be a farmer?"
Several ministers curled their lips, obviously dissatisfied with Chu Ze's words.
Chu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to point at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Our emperor was a cowherd boy before he sat on the dragon throne. So according to you, does he not deserve to sit in that position?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's relaxed body immediately sat up straight: "Chu Ze, be presumptuous."
If you want to talk about these people, just say, why are you involved?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy.
The minister who had been shouting loudly just now fell silent instantly.
Yu Heng raised his head and said, "Master Chu, you have gone too far. Is this something you can use to tease the Emperor at will?"
"Master Yu, what we say are all facts." Chu Ze looked at Yu Ji, "How many heroes have been born in ancient times who were not farmers? Farmers work hard to cultivate the land. It's not that they are incompetent or lowly, but that they have nothing else. choose."
"It's what you said just now, 'Farmers are farmers when they are born, they don't need to be taught at all, they just know how to farm'."
Chu Ze raised his hand and pointed at an official in the crowd and said, "Let me ask you, do you know how to farm?"
The official snorted coldly and said, "We are not farmers."
"Oh, let's not say it's you. There are many civil and military officials in our dynasty. Counting five generations up, how many of them are not farmers?" Chu Ze looked at him mockingly, "We are all descendants of farmers, so you can To find another way out, do you have to push others into the mud?"
The official's face turned green for a moment.
Chu Ze continued: "Let's talk about studying again. Have you met all the people in our testing site?"
Speaking of these people, the faces of the officials became even more ugly.
Each of these people's legs were covered in mud, and they spoke vulgarly.
They didn't even bother to talk to these people.
But for these people, their salaries are almost the same as them, and some are even higher than them.
Think about how they studied so hard in Hanchuang for so many years, but in the end they couldn't even compete with a few mud-legged people.
If you spread the word, people will laugh out loud.
"Then they are enough. Why do we need so many?" an official retorted.
Chu Ze said: "The more talents, the better. Or are you afraid that when they enter the court and exert their strength, you will not be able to match them and your faces will not look good?"
The man: "..." Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Chu Ze's words a little irritated him.
The man's face turned green, he snorted in anger, and said loudly: "Then let those people manage the country from now on. If we, the people, are still needed to do anything else, we will just resign!"
"Master Wang is right. Since Master Chu admires those mud-legged people so much, why not leave this court to Master Chu and those mud-legged people from now on. What do you want us to do? Your Majesty, please allow me to wait. Resign and return home to make room for Mr. Chu."
If the first one kneels down, there will be a second, third or even countless others.
Looking at the group of people kneeling down, Chu Ze narrowed his eyes dangerously.
