Volume B Section 75 Curious Baby
"Brother Feng, why don't you decide whether the question is right or wrong first, but temporarily determine who will make the right argument and who will act as the wrong party?"
Tanchun felt very novel about this temporary method of choosing the pros and cons, especially even if he chose the side that he believed was wrong, he still felt that it was even more incredible to try his best to refute it.
"Third sister, what you said is biased." Feng Ziying was full of curiosity when she saw Tanchun's heroic eyes, and she also thought that this girl was very interesting, but it was rare to be so interested in the topic of countermeasures.
"Every topic we choose basically follows a matter or a policy of the imperial court, and this kind of policy does not matter whether it is right or wrong in our opinion, but only judges its advantages and disadvantages to the imperial court or the common people according to the period,......
Tanchun frowned slightly, still a little bit didn't understand the meaning of Feng Ziying's words, the imperial court policy doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, only the pros and cons? This seems a bit hard to understand.
"Well, then let's give a simple example, for example, Uncle Shi is now letting Baoyu go to study, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile as she walked.
There are many flower paths in Jiafuli, and the stone-paved paths also extend in all directions.
Now there is no Grand View Garden, but this weather is still not comparable to Fengfu and other places, the surrounding Xifu begonias and black locusts are mixed, and occasionally there are a few osmanthus scattered and scattered, the end is everyone's pattern, see the vulgar.
Tanchun was stunned, do you still need to ask? However, she was a cool person, and she knew that Feng Ziying must have a trap since she asked this question, but she still replied calmly: "This must be a good thing, Second Brother Bao can read books, and he can also glorify our Jia family's court, and he can also have a good future in the future." ”
"Well, that's true, but it depends." Feng Ziying nodded slightly, and walked forward with her hands in her hands, "But Baoyu doesn't like to read, and he is very resistant in his heart, he is still young now, if he is forced to study, maybe he will be even more uncomfortable, maybe the child will get sick, and the ancestor and your mother will probably be worried and uncomfortable when they see Baoyu sick, maybe the child will have trouble with Uncle Shi, maybe he will fall ill, the result is that the book is not read, but it makes the family uneasy, do you say this is still a bad thing?" ”
These words knocked Tanchun down.
This is highly likely.
Second Brother Bao is disgusted with reading, everyone in the house knows that in order to avoid reading, he has thought of any way, but now the master wants him to study, and he has quarreled with his ancestor and wife for this, otherwise it would not be so big, but it is still unknown whether Second Brother Bao can read books in the future.
At least Tanchun himself is not very optimistic in his heart.
If you want to force it too hard, it is really possible to get sick or even the things that Brother Feng said, then it will really become a bad thing, thinking of the ending of Brother Zhu, Tanchun's heart is tight.
Not to mention being sick, it is even possible to be insane, but Feng Ziying didn't say it, maybe this is Jia Baoyu's last resort, see if you still force me to study.
After hesitating for a moment, Tanchun pouted again and puffed up his courage and said, "Brother Feng, even if it's different, right?" So how can the imperial court policy be the same as such things? ”
Feng Ziying laughed, looked at the curious appearance of the girl, and shook her head: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, in fact, it is almost the same inside, then I will give another example, well, it is a question in the debate preliminaries of our academy, the pros and cons of the imperial court's maritime ban policy." ”
This is not a secret, the imperial court has continued the policy of the sea ban since the former Ming Dynasty, although in the past two decades, the sea ban has been abolished, smuggling is rampant, but nominally the sea ban is still implemented, but it is said that the sea ban has been intended to be lifted, but it has not been conclusive.
Although Tanchun was young, she had heard about it, but she had only heard about it, "Brother Feng, this little sister doesn't know very well, but it must have a lot to do with the disadvantage of the Japanese invaders and tribute, right?" ”
Feng Ziying was surprised, and there was already a little more appreciation and joy in her eyes when she looked at Tanchun.
Although this is not a secret, but the nine-year-old girl who wants to explore Chun can actually tell the main reason for the ban on the sea of the imperial court at once, maybe the other party understands the real reason, but it is very rare to know these two points, Feng Ziying estimates that even if she asks Jia Baoyu or even Jia Rong and others, she may not know the reason.
Under Feng Ziying's gaze, Tanchun panicked for no reason, his cheeks were slightly hot, he subconsciously lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes, "Brother Feng, is it wrong for the little sister to say it?" ”
"No, no, that's right." Feng Ziying then collected her feelings and affirmed.
It seems that this detective girl is really a bit heroic and natural, only nine years old, and she can actually know a thing or two about these current policies and reasons, it's not simple, I'm afraid there will really be something in the future.
"Our Great Zhou Dynasty's sea ban policy is to follow the former Ming Dynasty, the former Ming Dynasty sea ban, that is because on the one hand, there is a deviation in the tributary policy, so it leads to a lack of income, the court can not afford it, well, this is actually a major reason for our Great Zhou sea ban, the other reason for the sea ban of the former Ming Dynasty is because when the former Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was competing for the world, many of his opponents were closely related to the sea power, so he was very afraid of the sea power, so he wanted the sea ban, of course, the later period was because of the rise of the Japanese forces, From smuggling to plunder, it posed a great threat to the security of the sea and frontier, and this situation continued until after the establishment of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was still so ......, so the sea ban policy became the fundamental national policy of the imperial court. ”
I didn't expect Feng Ziying to answer for herself so patiently, Tanchun's heart was like a deer, and a sense of satisfaction of being valued and concerned was even more spontaneous, and her tone was even lighter, "Then according to what you said about Brother Feng, there must still be many shortcomings in this imperial court's maritime ban policy?" ”
"Of course, there are many disadvantages of the sea ban policy, it is difficult to explain it in a word, or its disadvantages far outweigh the benefits, the little benefits brought by the sea ban are not worth mentioning at all now, and the disadvantages will cause great losses to the court and the people,......
Seeing that Brother Feng was talking eloquently, he did not refuse his own question at all, and even encouraged himself to ask a question, and his heart was pounding with a spring powder, and his phoenix eyes were looking forward to it, "Then why does the court's tributary policy not make ends meet?" Since it is the surrounding small states that come to pay tribute and pay tribute, the imperial court should have a lot of benefits, why can't it make ends meet? ”
"Hehe, that's a good question, but it's a long story to answer." Feng Ziying didn't expect that the girl in front of her was really a curious baby, so many questions one after another, and none of them could be explained clearly in one sentence or two.
"This tributary policy is a policy system of the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains to the surrounding vassal countries, well, the original intention is good, it shows the magnanimity of my Central Kingdom, and all states come to the court, but what about some small vassal countries around here, a few more times, I found a loophole in it, that is, our court, especially good face, if you want to send a tribute item of one or two silver, then the court will give you a gift of fifty taels of silver in return,......"
“…… This comes and goes, everyone understands, it turns out that you have a good face, that's okay, I'll pay more tribute, more than two trips a year, this time this mouth is getting bigger and bigger, our Great Zhou court will be a little unbearable, you send 100,000 taels of silver, the court will have to return a million taels of gifts, every three or five trips, and not according to the time limit agreed by our court for you, who can stand it? ”
Feng Ziying told these two little girls these things like telling a story, and she was happy to hear it.
In his opinion, since the girl was so interested, presumably Lin Yatou was also willing to listen, but he didn't notice that Lin Yatou was already frosty, her face was on the side, and a bright red sweat towel in her hand was twisted around, and it was about to be crushed, and the pouted cherry mouth was about to be able to hang the oil bottle.
Daiyu is really about to explode.
This detective girl is so hateful, you don't have your second brother Bao to pester you, but you want to come and rob Brother Feng with me?
If you want to come with me, I'll put up with it, so you just stay aside, why are you still noisy?
Question after question, haven't you seen me speak yet?
Do you know how to be polite and unruly?
This Brother Feng is too, he doesn't have any eyes at all, don't you see that his face is so ugly?
Still there and talking to the girl about the court's policy of banning tribute, does she really understand? I like to pretend to like to ask questions, and I definitely want to take up a little bit of my time.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the small courtyard where he lived, but the topic between the two of them didn't seem to be over at all, so what should I do?
The more Daiyu thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, the more angry she became, her heart was even more uncomfortable, her eyes gradually turned red, and she was about to bite her lips to bleed when she had a mouthful of fine rice and silver teeth.
Feng Ziying really didn't notice this, and Tanchun was even more interested.
In this mansion, although she also read some miscellaneous books, but she has never had the opportunity to talk to others about things outside the mansion, but she didn't expect to talk about these things inadvertently today, originally she only accidentally turned over one or two of these books, and she didn't quite understand, but today she heard Brother Feng's words, which suddenly made her full of more curiosity and yearning for the world outside this mansion.
If Brother Feng could often come to the mansion to talk to Sister Lin and talk to him, then he could ask a lot of questions, but the ancestor and mother seemed to hope that Brother Feng could come to the mansion more often to teach Second Brother Bao, maybe he could really see Brother Feng often.
