I have to say that Zheng Ji's idea makes sense.
After she said something like a heavy reward, the eyes of many soldiers on the martial arts field shone brightly.
For example, Shi Dingfang, Zhao Wu and others——
They were originally literate!
Isn't Princess Changding's move equivalent to giving them money?
Therefore, Shi Dingfang, who was standing at the front, was the first to respond, loudly saying, "I obey His Highness's instructions!"
Having said that, he still felt that his loyalty was not enough, so he turned back to the other Changding soldiers and said: "Brothers, think about how rare the opportunity to be literate is! Think about how much cultivation Mr. Yinqing requires, think about pen, ink, paper and inkstone How much does it cost? Now His Highness has not only invited the gentleman here for free, but also appointed pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and you will get money for passing the examination! Why are you so sad about this pie-in-the-sky thing? I really can’t understand it!"
As soon as he said these words, many soldiers were enlightened.
It is said that the poor are rich in literature and martial arts, but in fact, no matter whether it is civil or military, the poor cannot afford to learn.
Everyone knows that learning to read and write is extremely expensive and laborious.
Now, His Highness has taken care of them, they just need to learn.
They still find it difficult to do such a good thing. They are really confused!
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena became heated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They just couldn't turn around at once, and they weren't stupid. Someone gave them a little advice and they immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I will obey His Highness's instructions and I will do my best!"
The soldiers said in unison, and for a moment the thunder was loud in the martial arts arena, and there was an aura that was invincible.
Seeing this, Zheng Ji's eyes were filled with smiles, and his eyes lingered on Shi Dingfang for a few times.
Shi Dingfang is indeed a smart person, and these words are what she wants to express.
But when he said it, the effect was much better than what she said.
She was very satisfied with this: This person can be of great use!
However, some people present still frowned, and it was difficult to agree with him in their hearts.
One is because they really don’t even know the word Douda;
The second reason is because they feel it is completely unnecessary.
Soldiers are meant to charge into battle, as long as they know martial arts!
Isn't it a waste of time to read and learn? !
What is the use of their literacy?
His Highness is too embarrassed, he really thinks about it all the time!
They complained like this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to express it.
If this causes His Highness to be unable to afford it and cuts off everyone's way of studying and making money, then they will be drowned in saliva.
As a result, no one of the two thousand soldiers present raised any objection, and the matter was settled.
Zhang Jian, the governor of the mansion, looked at the excited, yearning, or embarrassed faces on the martial arts field. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes were flickering.
After leaving the martial arts arena, he said: "Your Highness, those gentlemen have arranged to stay near the martial arts arena. Everyone has no objection."
"Well, well done. If they have any ideas, they can report them to His Highness at any time."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhang Jian, however, didn't think they would have any ideas. His Highness invited them to give lectures in the mansion on terms that were so generous that even he, a court official, was tempted.
Those gentlemen, who were not great scholars of the time, were very satisfied with these conditions.
However, they had no ideas, but Zhang Jian did.
He hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness taught those soldiers to read. Why?"
He is an official of the Changding Princess Mansion and is in charge of all matters in the mansion, so he can ask this question.
His Highness asked Chang Dingsui to collect information on young talents in Jingzhao. He could also understand that His Highness might be choosing faces or something.
He really couldn't understand this.
He personally invited these gentlemen, so he knew very well what kind of abilities these gentlemen had.
They were indeed not great scholars of the time, and they were far inferior to the teachings of the Imperial College, but he found that they were all quite special, and everyone had their own skills.
For example, Mr. Gu, who lives in Huaishu Lane, is good at copying calligraphy and used to make a living from this;
For example, Mr. Zhang, who was invited from Dongshan Academy, was very good at drawing landscape paintings. However, he was often criticized for his insufficient craftsmanship and lack of spirituality.
Another example...
In short, the gentlemen whom His Highness ordered him to invite all had some kind of ability to make a living.
His Highness seems to have deliberately chosen such a gentleman. What kind of standard is this?
Zheng Ji had seen him endure it for many days, and it was not easy to ask him until now.
She glanced at Zhang Jian and asked instead, "What do you think this temple means?"
Zhang Jian looked at her face and asked, "Maybe you want them to know etiquette? Or maybe you want them to be sensible?"
Zheng Ji nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with that."
Reading literacy books can help people understand etiquette and understand things. Zhang Jian is right.
"..." Zhang Jian realized that he had said nonsense, so he stopped being euphemistic and said directly: "Your Highness, this subordinate is stupid. Please make it clear."
Zheng Ji said as he walked: "It doesn't have any deep meaning. It's just that the commander of this palace must not be like other soldiers who only use swords and guns."
"Furthermore, this palace believes that it is beneficial and harmless for warriors to be literate. Maybe..."
She paused and looked back at Zhang Jian: "Perhaps there are some talented and intelligent people among them who can read military books and military strategies after becoming literate, and can grow into generals in the future?"
She put her hands behind her back, raised her chin slightly, looked into the distance, and said in a slightly condensed tone: "Back then, Lu Piguang had bloody fingers in Ganxi. Isn't this one of the reasons why he became a general?"
After hearing this, Zhang Jian's face flashed with solemn expression, and then he bent slightly and replied: "Your Highness is right."
Lu Piguang's family was poor when he was young. He joined the army just to make a living, so he had no chance to learn how to read.
But while he was risking his life to kill the enemy in the army, he also learned calligraphy from other soldiers who could write and read.
He is just a pawn. Where can he find pen, ink, paper and inkstone?
Therefore, I could only write with branches dipped in the stream near the camp to serve as pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
In order to seize the time to learn to read, every time he killed an enemy, he didn't even have time to wipe off the blood on his hands, so he started writing and drawing on the ground.
This is the allusion of Lu Piguang’s Blood Finger of Ganxi River.
The rumors are of course exaggerated, but they also illustrate Lu Piguang's hard work in order to become literate and the importance of literacy.
As an official in the DPRK, how could Zhang Jian not know these deeds?
It was precisely because of this knowledge that he was so moved that his heart trembled.
What His Highness Chang Ding actually meant was...
To cultivate these long-term stability according to Lu Piguang's standards?
this……
Zhang Jian found it ridiculous and impossible. As a close confidant sent by Emperor Yongning to the Changding Princess Mansion, he knew what this meant.
But at this moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the back of the figure wearing a phoenix robe in front of him.
For the first time, I felt that maybe he was right to come to Changding Princess Mansion.
