Wen Jin was stunned, not that he thought Mr. Qi's words were unreasonable.
It is precisely that she knew the benefits of doing so - otherwise, her country in future generations would not spend a lot of manpower and material resources, or even introduce strict laws to promote this matter.
This matter is of great significance and the benefits are obvious.
Her motherland has become one of the world's powerful countries in just a few decades after its founding.
It is inseparable from the various policies implemented by the country to benefit the people.
But...this is the era of feudal monarchy.
Below the monarch, there are also noble families.
In an era where scholars are almost monopolized by aristocratic families, if you want to implement such a policy to benefit the people... I am afraid there will be considerable resistance.
"Sir," Wen Shengjun knew Wen Jin's difficulties. He frowned and spoke first, "That's good, but can a wealthy family just sit back and do nothing? Can they make people who study not come from a wealthy family? Can they make more and more poor people come from poor families? , compete with them and get the opportunity that was originally in their hands?”
Mr. Qi also nodded and said, "It's difficult! If we want to implement it, there will be great resistance!"
Wen Jin was about to speak.
Banxia poked her head at the door.
"What's the matter?" Wen Jin looked at her.
Banxia hurriedly entered Deming Hall and whispered in Wen Jin's ear: "The Emperor is making a fuss. He wants you to make incense yourself and wants you to see him."
Wen Jin frowned, "Hasn't the incense I made been given to the palace? Even the prescription has been given to the palace."
Banxia lowered her voice even more, "The incense you made yourself was withheld by the emperor. The incense you sent to the Supreme Emperor was made in the palace. The Supreme Emperor actually recognized it at once and made a fuss."
Wen Jin said, "Why did the emperor want to detain it? Couldn't we just have it sent away?"
Banxia shook her head, "The emperor said that if the emperor wants to make trouble, he can always find a reason. This time it is Xiang, next time it may be something else. One compromise will not lead to peace and quiet. It will only lead to more times. compromise."
"The Emperor also said that compromise is the way to go when you don't have the strength. When you have the strength, you should be more resolute! Otherwise, your strength will be eroded away through compromises again and again."
Wen Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this!
correct!
Although some things are difficult, as long as you are in a favorable position and have a firm attitude, you can always move forward!
If you always compromise and always retreat...
Then it will be like the "Great Qing Dynasty" that was finally destroyed. It will no longer be prosperous and prosperous, and it will no longer be able to support it!
Wen Jin slapped the table and said: "Sir, you are right! Talent and the popularization of basic education are really the cornerstone of a social development."
"Although this matter is difficult, there is a saying that 'the best time to start something is thirty years ago, and the second best time is now.'"
"We find it difficult now. If we don't try and compromise with the world - are we going to regret it thirty years later?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded, full of pride.
"Even if our generation can't make it happen, as long as we are determined to implement it, we will always make it happen!" Wen Jin was so excited that his whole body heated up! After all, she had seen it with her own eyes!
Mr. Qi smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Wen Jin said, "I hope that Mr. Sir will lead everyone to make a corresponding plan. How to promote it at all levels, whether to implement legislation, what measures should the court take for poor people, to ensure that the policy is implemented, etc. There are many more that we can think of, Unexpected questions.”
"I hope it can be compiled into a feasible written text and submitted to the cabinet and the emperor."
Everyone saw that she still had family matters to deal with, and the matter could not be resolved in a short while.
It still needs to be drafted first and discussed in detail later.
Everyone stood up and resigned.
In the waiting room, only Wen Jin and Banxia were left.
Banxia said: "The Supreme Emperor has summoned you, do you want to go?"
Wen Jin no longer hesitated, "I won't go. The Emperor is right, one compromise will lead to more compromises. Just like Mei Ji last time..."
Let Xiao Yuchen handle matters in the palace.
Whose parents are responsible?
After Wen Jin figured this out, he stopped worrying about it.
She has more important things to worry about!
Universal basic education is of course a good thing. But behind the policies to benefit the people are huge expenditures from the state treasury.
The "benefits" of education will not be seen until at least ten years later.
So, how to increase the revenue of the national treasury is an urgent problem... The new emperor ascended the throne, first of all, to grant amnesty to the world. The second is to reduce taxes and corvee.
Since taxes cannot be increased, how can the money in the treasury be increased?
This matter is much more important than the "old kid" who likes to make noises.
Wen Jin didn't come to see the Supreme Emperor.
This made the Supreme Emperor very angry.
"My Zen position, don't they have any gratitude at all?"
"If I don't take the throne! Will his throne be secure? Will it be justified?"
"His eighth brother is the youngest! If it weren't for me, you'd better see if the crowd would surrender to him or not!"
The Supreme Emperor slapped the table and cursed.
Fang Xu let out a long sigh and said to himself, "If they don't heal you, do you have the strength to scream?"
"This is an exchange! You exchanged your health for King Huai's peaceful accession to the throne without bloodshed... Why don't you understand?"
The Emperor stared at him, "What are you muttering about again?"
Fang Xu smiled and said, "The sunshine is nice today, and the cicadas are chirping happily. May I help you out for a walk?"
The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Okay! Let's go!"
Fang Xu's original intention was to support the Supreme Emperor and walk around the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor went straight to the palace gate.
Fang Xu panicked, "Where are you going?"
The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly, "They won't come to see me! Are you still not allowed to see them? I'm old! I can't speak anymore! I can't call them!"
"It's okay! I still have two legs! I'll go see them!"
Fang Xu's brain ached.
He couldn't defeat the Supreme Emperor, and he couldn't force the Supreme Emperor back.
He had no choice but to accompany the Supreme Emperor to see "the cruelty of reality" in person.
"The Supreme Emperor, stay!" There was a row of guards with swords at the entrance of the palace, blocking the entrance to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
The Emperor's eyes widened and he looked at them in shock, "What do you mean? Are you stopping me?"
"The Emperor has an order. The Emperor is not in good health. He went out to catch the wind, which may make his condition worse."
"Whatever you need, just ask."
The Emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Ask the Emperor to come see me! And... take his wife with him!"
He seems to have some knot in his mind about calling Wen Jin "Queen", but he hasn't opened it yet.
The guards were stunned, and said with cupped hands: "To the Emperor, the enthronement ceremony and the canonization ceremony of the Queen are currently being held...I am afraid that the Emperor and the Queen cannot come to see you."
At this moment, the melodious bells were heard from the front court, and the drums on the walls of the imperial city were also beaten.
As the drums vibrate, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower in the middle of Kyoto should ring with the sound of bells and drums.
Sound waves rippled out layer by layer, and the drums on the city gate outside Kyoto also responded.
The entire Kyoto was enveloped in the solemn sound of bells and drums.
The endless sound of bells and drums is telling Daliang that the new emperor has ascended the throne!
A new era, a new era, is about to begin!
