"I'm confused. How can your food, clothing, housing and transportation be separated from work? Moreover, the unity of knowledge and action means the coexistence of learning and practice. You only know how to talk, but it is a tree without roots. Do you know how to farm during the farming season? Do you know this year's calendar? Has it been offset for half a month?"
Zhao An asked questions repeatedly, and his words made everyone take a breath.
Cui Wengong was shocked and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, please stop joking. There is something wrong with the calendar? This joke is not easy to make!"
"How can students talk nonsense? At worst, ask those mediocre people in Si Tianjian, can they understand the changes in celestial phenomena? If you don't believe it, go check it out, look at agricultural taxation, and then see what the people say. Folks grow grain and pay taxes. , missed the season, but production will be reduced! If everyone in the world holds books and no one goes to practice and study, and the calendar continues to deviate, we will wait for the world to be in chaos. "
Zhao An taught these ancient sour scholars a hard lesson today!
Cui Wengong couldn't sit still and immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire about the news. Then with complicated emotions, he led everyone to a courtyard.
Now Xu Ruqing passed the test and officially became a tutor at the Imperial College.
The students all liked her and asked her to give it a try. They didn't expect these noble dandies to become talented anyway.
In just a moment, the clerk who went to inquire stumbled back, his face extremely ugly.
"Reporting to Mr. Cui and Mr. Liu, according to the tax records of the Ministry of Household Affairs, grain production has indeed decreased in recent years. There are many complaints from the people, saying that the best farming season has been missed."
As the words settled, you could hear the needle drop in the room.
Liu Guangji's face turned red and he looked at Zhao An in disbelief.
Not only him, Cui Wengong and Xu Ruqing also looked like gods.
There is something really wrong with the calendar!
Without any time to think about it, Cui Wengong pulled Liu Guangji and ran away. They need to face the Holy Dao immediately, otherwise the world will be in chaos!
"Sir, which school of thought do you belong to?"
Xu Ruqing was proud, but when facing Zhao An, he looked like a student, full of curiosity and piety.
Zhao An said proudly: "Brother, I am a futurist."
"Futuristic?"
"Ahem, let's get down to business first..."
Zhao An blinked, and the latter suddenly came to the front desk.
The noble gentlemen suddenly fell silent, but their eyes were full of fanaticism as they stared at her.
"Everyone, in order to better teach everyone's homework and encourage everyone to study, I plan to appoint some personnel to manage the class."
Xu Ruqing started.
A class needs to have a monitor, student committee members, etc.
The noble gentlemen were elated because, according to Xu Ruqing, the squad leader and student committee members would have more time to interact with her!
This is Zhao An's first move, differentiation.
"Choose me, choose me! My father is General Zhenyuan!"
"Is General Zhenyuan very strong? My grandfather is still a master!"
"My father is the transfer envoy to Huainan!"
…
Everyone raised their hands and started noisily recommending themselves.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Xu Ruqing felt that Zhao An was unpredictable and had extremely precise control over people's hearts!
However, Zhao An has already given guidance on the choice of squad leader.
She called Min Cheng's name directly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the young master of the Liang Kingdom. He was a little unbelievable and thanked the female gentleman for his love.
Little did he know that he was being plotted.
The people present were all stupid young men, each with a stronger family background than the last. Normally, no one would obey the other. It would be fine if Liang Guogong had real power, but it was a pity that he was a mascot, so this wave of hatred in Mincheng directly caused hatred.
Several noble disciples in high positions suddenly looked at him with unkind, even hostile eyes.
Xu Ruqing remained calm and continued to appoint study committee member Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing's father is the Chancellor of the Inspectorate. He is the second rank and has real power. He divides the three powers with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. It is not so much the separation of powers. In fact, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are under the jurisdiction of the Inspectorate.
Zhao An learned from the empress that Zhang Yuanzheng of the Inspectorate had a withdrawn personality. Although he was a member of the Chen family, he looked down on the losers around Chen Guogong, but he was friends with Liang Guogong.
Therefore, letting Zhang Qing serve as the study committee member is equivalent to directly cutting off the class, and can also drive him and Min Cheng closer.
Next, Xu Ruqing said that we should pay attention to physical exercise and clean environment, and arranged for a sports committee member and a labor committee member to supervise everyone.
The fathers of these two people, one is a core general of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion with a military rank equal to Xiao Qingyu, and the other is an admonishment doctor at Yushitai.
Come down with a set of procedures.
The general's son was responsible for beating people, and the admonishing son was responsible for beating his father and reporting impeachment memorials.
The court will be very lively next.
Zhao An looked at the angry looks of a bunch of failed young men and almost laughed out loud.
"Sir, His Majesty calls you over."
Suddenly Huang Zhong came to deliver a message in a hurry.
Zhao An gave Xu Ruqing a look, and happened to bump into Chu Liuyun when he was leaving. Zhao An patted him on the shoulder, spoke earnestly, and asked him to go over and learn from him, and see how Xu Ruqing, a talented woman, manages these young masters.
All the way back to the harem, when entering the imperial study room, I saw Cui Wengong, Liu Guangji, the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs Han Younian, and Si Zheng Zhao Wenchang of Si Tianjian.
Mr. Zhao was kneeling on the ground, sweating.
The empress took the tax account, pointed at his head and said sternly: "What use do I need from you! You might as well raise a pig!"
Mr. Zhao was so scolded that he muttered: "Your Majesty, the laws of heaven are always there, so how can there be any problems with the calendar?"
"If there is no problem with the calendar, why did all the dynasties set up the Si Tianjian? Just to pray for rain? Okay, you go outside and ask me for a rain! Otherwise I will chop off your dog's head!"
The empress was really angry.
She has been living deep in the palace and is unaware of everything happening outside. However, small-scale riots have broken out in recent years. It is said that the people complained about production cuts and were unable to make ends meet, and asked the court to reduce taxes.
She also wondered why Hao Duan Duan was able to reduce production, thinking that corrupt local officials were plundering people's wealth. She even asked Chen Guogong to arrange an investigation, but nothing was found.
At that time, she thought Chen Guogong was bullying her, and after a long time of bullying, the problem arose with Si Tianjian!
At this moment, Long Yan was furious, but Mr. Zhao frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the talents of the Si Tianjian in the past dynasties are few and the stars are deficient. You asked me to correct the calendar, but I can't do it."
"Useless things!"
The empress hated that iron could not become steel, so she kicked him.
Lord Zhao rolled around like a turtle shell and fell right under Zhao An's feet.
Looking at each other, Zhao An joked: "Hey, is this adult doing some tricks?"
"Mr. Zhou, why don't you tell your Majesty more about this?"
Cui Wengong winked, and Zhao An looked at the empress, only to see her glare angrily, wondering if she was still angry about what happened that night.
Zhao An directly popularized science about why the calendar needs to be revised, as well as the harm caused by problems with the calendar, etc.
