After the courtiers went to court, they all connected with each other and discussed the pros and cons of the prince selection system.
Every faction has its own ideas.
They are ready to observe the performance of the princes and select a wise prince who suits the interests of their faction.
In the Forbidden City, news soon came.
Emperor Su He decided that from 7 to 8 o'clock every evening, specialized teachers would teach the princes.
When the courtiers heard the news, they scrambled to find connections and prepare to serve as teachers.
As the teachers of the princes, no matter which prince ascends the throne, they will all be able to achieve great success.
Since ancient times, the imperial master has been a popular candidate for prime minister.
Even Wei Shiming, who was the Prime Minister, was tempted and wanted to be a teacher for the princes.
He is already a highly respected minister, and the prime minister is already the highest civilian position.
But he taught his thoughts to the prince.
Their factional ideas will last forever.
Life in this world is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Wei Shiming owns many factories. He is not short of money at all and just wants to leave a good reputation.
The ancestors planted trees so that the descendants could enjoy the shade.
…………………………
Emperor Su He looked at Queen Wang Wenjun, Concubine De, Li Huixin, Concubine Shu, Qu Qingyi, Concubine Jing, Liu Rushi and other wives.
He originally wanted to make it easier for the princes by offering only four classes per month, each class lasting about an hour.
The princes are still young, and intense study is not conducive to giving them a good childhood.
When I was young, I was forced too much and it was easy for me to have psychological problems.
If an emperor's heart is distorted, it will have a huge impact on the country.
Emperor Su He discussed this arrangement and asked his wives to make suggestions.
Queen Wang Wenjun took the lead, and all the wives strongly opposed it.
Their opinion was to let the princes attend classes normally during the day and have specialized teachers educate them at night.
During school holidays, teachers teach all day long.
Jade is not cut, not a device. If the princes want to turn into a piece of beautiful jade, they must go through carving.
Emperor Su He listened to the opinions of his wives. They wanted the prince to become crazy and involuntarily involved.
As long as you can't die from learning, learn from death.
Emperor Su He listened to some of the opinions of his wives.
He decided to let the princes attend regular classes during the day, and have teachers hold small classes at night for dedicated instruction.
It was a normal school holiday day for the princes to rest.
You have to combine work and rest. You can work harder than others, but you can't have no free time at all.
The princes will have to bear more responsibilities in the future, and they will definitely work harder than ordinary people.
Except for the most talented people, most people have similar IQs.
Whoever works harder will gain more knowledge.
As an emperor, even with the help of the cabinet and the governor's office, the work is still boring and tiring.
After this kind of training, the princes can also screen out unqualified people.
There is a diligent emperor who has been educated by the emperor and knows what direction to work towards.
Even if he is a mediocre person, he will not mess up the country.
Emperor Su He looked at his nervous wives.
He ordered: "The school that educates the prince will officially start classes today. You should bring Su Shu, Su Lei, and Su Meng, who are already in elementary school, to the school.
Princes who are not in elementary school will participate in the school until they reach the age of elementary school.
I was too young to understand what was being taught in school.
I now feel that they are too young, the eldest Su Shu is only ten years old.
At their age, there is very little they can learn.
Today I will teach the children the first lesson. "
Queen Wang Wenjun and others were extremely excited.
Seeing their husbands complaining, they agreed to set up a school specifically to teach the prince knowledge.
They returned to their respective dormitories and prepared to take their sons to class.
The husband will personally teach the children, which is also an opportunity to strengthen their father-son relationship.
In Kunning Palace, Su Shu and Su Rong were playing with bamboo dragonflies.
Queen Wang Wenjun came to the courtyard and called Su Shu over who was playing.
She touched her son Su Shu's head and taught: "Shu'er, your father has decided to arrange a teacher for you.
The first lesson is taught by your father himself.
As the eldest brother, Shu'er must set an example.
If you perform well, your mother will give you a reward. "
Su Shu felt a little envious when he saw his sister Su Rong having fun.
He was often taught by his mother and knew that he was different from others.
Su Shu said firmly: "Queen mother, please rest assured that I will perform well and will not disappoint my father and queen."
The concubine Li Huixin looked at Su Lei who was waiting for him to eat after returning from school.
Li Huixin had dinner with her son and explained the opening of the school during the meal.
She ordered with a solemn expression: "Xiao Lei, your father is in a hurry and has little time for you to attend classes.
This is the first lesson, you must try your best to express yourself.
Don't act smart in class, answer your father's questions according to your heart. "
Li Huixin is very relieved about her son Su Lei. He is naturally smart and good at observing people's emotions.
She was afraid that her son would act too much, so she asked him to restrain himself.
Emperor Su He has never seen what kind of person he is, so playing tricks in front of him won't work at all.
Naren happily took her son Su Meng to the school.
She knew that her son was just going to school to hang out, and the position of prince had nothing to do with him.
Naren taught Su Meng nothing. Her son had no pressure and lived the most relaxed life.
…………………………
Emperor Su He saw that the three princes Su Shu, Su Meng and Su Lei were all sent to school by their mother.
They were sitting upright, while Queen Wang Wenjun and others retreated outside the school to observe the performance of the three princes.
Emperor Su He looked at the performance of his three sons. Su Shu pretended to be calm, and Su Lei was very nervous, but deliberately pretended not to be nervous.
Su Meng was really relaxed and didn't care at all.
Emperor Su He looked at Su Meng, his son who was stronger than other princes.
He is only nine years old, one year younger than Su Shu, but he is much stronger than Su Shu.
He has Mongolian ancestry, and as long as other princes are not completely useless, the throne will never fall to him.
Emperor Su He used various means to boost the pride and self-confidence of the Han people and strengthen their cohesion.
This power is helpful in uniting the people and resisting foreign enemies, and can unleash unimaginable power.
But this power also has taboos, that is, it is extremely exclusive of foreigners.
The Han people are extremely tolerant, but they will not allow a prince with foreign blood to ascend the throne.
Even Emperor Su He could not bear the price of disobeying this power.
If an emperor with foreign blood really appears, there will definitely be backlash.
Su Meng doesn't understand this situation now, and Concubine Ren will definitely know it and teach it to her children through education.
Only then did he form a state of indifference to the world.
Su Meng and Su Lei have similar expressions, but they give people completely different feelings.
Su Meng really didn't care, but Su Lei cared very much.
Emperor Su He stood on the podium. He tapped the table in front of him with his hand to attract the attention of his three sons.
He said in a stern tone: "You are my sons, members of the royal family of the Great China Empire, and may be the future masters of this empire.
You are destined to be different from others.
Today my father will teach you the first lesson.
The most essential reason for the changes and changes in the imperial court. "
Emperor Su He combined his knowledge with his experience in governing the country in recent years.
He taught this lesson to the princes, not expecting them to understand it, but just to plant a seed in their hearts.
Emperor Su He personally taught the first lesson, which these princes will inevitably recall again and again in their future lives.
Which prince understands this lesson thoroughly will definitely stand out among the many princes.
Emperor Su He looked at the three princes and asked: "What do you think is important for a common person to pay attention to?"
Su Lei remembered his mother's instructions, and he immediately responded: "Father, I think we are family members.
Parents love their children the most and want to give everything to them.
As long as the family is alive and the bloodline is passed on, then life will not be in vain. "
Su Meng said casually: "My son thinks it is cattle and sheep. The queen mother told me that if a tribe loses too many cattle and sheep on the grassland, the tribe will perish.
Erchen saw many books introducing that the value of cattle is extremely important here in China.
Officials in all dynasties and generations prohibited the killing of cattle.
A family with cattle is a wealthy family.
Therefore, Erchen feels that cattle and sheep are extremely important. "
Su Shu thought for a long time and said: "Father, I think money is the most important. With money, you can buy food, buy cattle, read and write, and change your life."
Emperor Su He listened to his sons' answers. The eldest Su Shu was only ten years old.
Their realization was beyond Emperor Su He's expectation.
Emperor Su He said in a solemn tone: "Many people have different answers to this question.
I think the most important thing is that they must be able to create value.
In the dynasties before Dahua, there were two things that lasted for thousands of years and dominated the rise and fall of the dynasty.
They are land and technology.
If you have land, you can grow food and feed your family.
Cattle and farm tools are also very important things, but they exist dependent on the land.
Every technological breakthrough changes an era.
It is likely to cause the rise and fall of a court. "
Emperor Su He looked at his three sons shaking their heads, as if they didn't understand.
He just wanted a prince who would remember the importance of land and technology.
If they understand this thing, they can grasp the essence of the matter and will not be fooled by the ministers.
Emperor Su He saw that his sons were very nervous. He smiled and said: "Father knows that you don't understand very well. Father will help you understand these things with examples."
Emperor Su He hung a painting on the wall, showing people reclaiming wasteland during the Warring States Period.
“During the Warring States Period, smelting technology made breakthroughs and iron tools began to be equipped on a large scale.
Weapons made of iron are tougher and sharper than bronze weapons.
Iron farm tools can give a family the strength to cultivate wasteland.
With the advancement of formal smelting technology, one family could cultivate the land, and the common people escaped from the shackles of the nobles and became yeoman farmers, heading to wastelands to reclaim land.
With land owned by yeoman farmers, they could feed a large number of children.
They are protecting their own interests.
The sons of yeoman farmers enthusiastically joined the army. These people were more obedient to command and could form a far more powerful army than the private armies of the nobles.
Countries implemented reforms one after another to adapt to the changes brought about by yeoman farmers and iron tools.
The seven countries of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin seized the opportunity and succeeded in reform, becoming the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
The private army of the nobility declined, and the feudal system was replaced by the county system.
Among them, Qin's reforms were the most thorough. The national policy of farming and war could greatly mobilize the peasants, and he finally unified the world. "
Su Shu and other princes' eyes widened. The angle their father told them was something they had never been exposed to before.
When they heard these things, they felt very strange.
Emperor Su He hung up the second painting. In the mansion, several scholars carefully read a book together.
“The governance of a country requires a large number of talents.
If people want to become talented, they must learn knowledge.
Books are the most important carrier of knowledge dissemination.
In the bamboo slips era, only a small number of nobles could learn knowledge.
This class is in charge of the country.
Paper was invented in the Han Dynasty, making it easier to spread knowledge.
But knowledge is an extremely important resource, and it is monopolized by a group of people who form an aristocratic family.
With the power in their hands, the aristocratic families could easily bankrupt the peasants and obtain the land in their hands.
The children of aristocratic families became officials in the dynasty and gained power.
They hold power and land and become the true masters of the country.
During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin had to make concessions to the aristocratic families.
From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the main way to become an official was through recommendation from other officials.
Even during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination system had already appeared.
A large number of officials become officials by recommendation.
In the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, many people admitted were children of aristocratic families.
There were even cases where one person was not admitted to the imperial examination. "
Emperor Su He looked at his three sons, their eyes widened as they listened to his story.
With their current intelligence, they still cannot understand what Emperor Su He is talking about.
Emperor Su He hung the third painting, a bookstore selling books.
“The Huangchao Uprising and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms wiped out the aristocratic families.
The advent of printing made books very cheap.
The children of small landowners can also read and write.
The small landowner who mastered the inheritance of knowledge completely buried the family.
A large amount of land was controlled by small landowners, who served as farmhouse ministers in the early dynasty and ascended to the emperor's palace in the evening.
They were called the gentry and became the most powerful force in the country.
The gentry did not care who ruled the country, they only cared about their own interests. "
Emperor Suhe hung the last painting, which was a steel factory with billowing smoke.
“The lifespan of a dynasty does not exceed 300 years.
The fundamental reason is that the gentry occupied too much land, and the number of self-cultivated farmers decreased significantly and they became tenant farmers.
Once the people cannot survive, they will inevitably rise up and use their own methods to redistribute the land.
The Ming Dynasty collapsed due to land annexation.
The father allocates land to all people and strictly prohibits land annexation.
As long as the Great China Empire adheres to this national policy, no people will rise up.
Now the Dahua Empire is once again experiencing a major technological breakthrough.
Technology, mainly the steam engine, will bring about earth-shaking changes to society.
Merchants will also replace the gentry and become the most important force in this country.
You must remember that you can borrow the power of merchants, but you cannot let them do whatever they want.
If the gentry is not controlled, large-scale land annexation will lead to the destruction of the country.
If merchants are not controlled, it will also lead to the destruction of the country. "
After Emperor Su He finished speaking, he looked at the children with confused expressions.
At their age, they can barely remember the content of this lesson.
Emperor Su He knew not to rush, the child was still young, he could teach him slowly, and he would always find a satisfactory heir.
