After determining the heavy reward for widows and widows, it was determined to show that he, the king of Chu, did not support the remarriage of widows, nor did he support the attitude of nobles marrying widows.

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Ye Xun in front of him, although he did not fully accept Ye Xun's suggestion, but on the whole, he basically accepted his suggestion.

At this time, Xiong Huai was even more curious in his heart, what kind of astonishing remarks did this Ye Xun have for those nobles who had already married their wives.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked expressionlessly: "Xianqing, take precautions, the widow has already agreed." It's just that for people who have already married wives everywhere, I don't know what Xianqing can do? ”

Ye Xun let out a slight breath and replied, "King, this matter is simpler than what was just prevented. At present, the practice of taking widows as wives in various places has just emerged, and there are not many people who marry wives, so it is not difficult to solve this problem.

Liyun: The Son of Heaven set up seven temples, the princes are five, the doctors are three, and the scholars are one, and now the people of Hanbei County have been promoted by the king to scholars, so they naturally have to follow the etiquette system and build temples for their own families, so that their ancestors can get blood food. ”

"Build a temple!" Xiong Huai's eyes lit up when he heard this, this method was something he hadn't thought of just now.

It is a very honorable thing to build a temple for one's own family, and at the same time, it is also an important means of cohesion.

After the state established the temple, it could not help but ask the nobles from all over the country to contribute sacrifices, and they could also use the blessed meat of the sacrifice to win people's hearts and justify their own name.

The country is like this, and the same is true of scholars, every time they sacrifice, it is the final moment for their family to unite people's hearts.

In this way, a group of people gathered around the scholars, a group of scholars gathered around the doctors, a group of doctors gathered around the princes, and the princes gathered around the Son of Heaven.

In this way, the cohesion of the country is cohesive in the sacrificial activities one after another.

Although the newly promoted scholar may not know about the temple, as long as he, the king of Chu, knows, it will be fine. As long as all the new scholars and doctors are allowed to build a temple for themselves, and then worship every year, even if they are young children, how can they forget their fathers and ancestors.

At the same time, after the establishment of the temple, there will inevitably be a group of people of the same origin gathered together, so that the bloodline and the title will not be so easy to cut off, even if the person of the main lineage dies, only one child from the branch line will inherit the title. If a person in one vein dies, it is enough to pass a child from the other line.

In this way, those who marry for a purpose other than simply will not be able to get the other party's title and land even if they kill their stepson. In the case of unprofitable conditions, those young children must be much safer.

Moreover, in a way, the establishment of a temple for the new Jin scholars also fundamentally put an end to those ill-intentioned wives, because with the power of the clan, it is difficult for them to profit from their stepsons.

At the same time, when it is not profitable, who among the scholars of the kingdom will not marry a maiden in her prime, but be filled with joy to marry a widow.

If there are really nobles who are still willing to marry widows, and the widows of warriors are willing to give up their monthly rewards to marry, this is true love, and Xiong Huai is happy to see it come true.

After all, there is power in numbers, and of course he wants his country to have as many people as possible.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately responded: "The matter of building a temple for the people is not approved." The so-called major affairs of the country, in the sacrifice in Rong, the widow later issued an edict to the county governors, asking them to supervise the matter as soon as possible. ”

"The king is wise." Seeing that the King of Chu agreed to his suggestion, Ye Xun immediately bowed his hand, and then, after straightening up, he arched his hand and said, "The king, the minister has another matter to advise the king." ”

"Xianqing just come."

"My lord, in the previous war, a large number of people died on the battlefield, so that many children lost their fathers and could not receive their father's teachings.

In the past, when the king recruited the people, he promised the people to restart the township school and the county school to teach the people, so that the people's title could be continued.

Therefore, in order to prevent the children in the county from wasting their time, the minister asked the king to immediately restart the township school and the county school, and the sages and good people taught the people of the county. ”

Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this, Ye Xun's suggestion was the same as the countermeasure he had in mind when he first got the news.

In the case of the Guangjian Township School and the County School, one of the children of the family of the Imperial Doctor must be enrolled in school, so that many orphans who have lost their fathers will be temporarily released from the control of others (not only the stepfather, but also the elders of the same clan).

In this way, there is no need to worry inside and outside, which ensures that the future of Hanbuk County will not be easily ruined in unnecessary trouble.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said, "Xianqing, do you know what Ling Yin is doing in Yingdu now?" ”

Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "King, could it be that Ling Yin has already started to prepare for the township school and county school of Hanbei County in Yingdu." ”

"Not bad." Xiong Huai nodded: "It is Ling Yin's duty to be virtuous and capable, and this time the reopening of the township school is not as before, just to teach the people to behave and etiquette, but according to the model of the nobility, teach them the six arts."

Therefore, now Ling Yin is recruiting gentlemen in Yingdu, so that there can be enough gentlemen in all townships and counties of Hanbei County. ”

Ye Xun gasped when he heard this.

The six arts of the gentleman are not simple, since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty by King Wu, the nobles must master the six basic skills such as etiquette, music, archery, and the number of imperial books. And to learn these six skills, each of which costs a considerable amount of money, and it is difficult for non-aristocratic children to support the tuition fees.

But the problem is that the king of Chu had promised the people that as long as the title reached the county magistrate, he could recommend one person to study in the township for free. And after the battle of Hanbei, there were many county magistrates in the county, and even some of the national doctors and the doctors appeared in the county, and they could go to school for free.

Originally, Ye Xun just thought that the township school would only pay some etiquette, and then learn some archery skills and elementary mathematics, and wait until the county school to teach some other elementary skills. In this way, the sixteen counties in northern Hanbei, a total of sixteen county schools, do not spend much.

I don't want to, but the intention of the king of Chu is to start the six arts in the township, a small county also has three townships, the general five townships, like Deng County, a large county comparable to a small county, is close to ten townships.

In this way, each township in the sixteen counties of Hanbei has built a complete township school, which must have cost an astonishing amount.

If he had known that the King of Chu would do this, he would definitely not have put forward the proposal to rebuild the county school as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, Ye Xun immediately persuaded: "King, it takes a lot of financial and material resources to learn the six arts, bamboo slips, musical instruments, bows and arrows, horses, vehicles, etc., all of which are rare things.

Moreover, it takes a lot of time for ordinary people to learn all of this, and ordinary scholars also need to cultivate their own land, so as not to miss the agricultural time.

The whole county will be expanded, and the manpower and material resources must be huge, and even if the country's material resources are exhausted, I am afraid that it may not meet the needs of a county in northern Hanbei. ”

Xiong Huai shook his head undoubtedly when he heard this, Hanbei County could not help but be an example for the rest of the Chu State, and it was also a sharp weapon for him to fight against the nobles of the Gong clan in the future.

He didn't have the luxury of expecting everyone to study to become a qualified nobleman, but as long as there was a seedling for every ten people to cultivate, or even one out of a hundred people, so that these available talents could impact the current nobles and escort his future changes, then he would be satisfied.

Although it costs a little more now, it is not very reluctant to bear a county in northern Han with the wealth of Chu State.

Moreover, as long as Hanbei succeeds, then the current effort is worth it.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled: "Xianqing doesn't need to persuade again, the widow has his own plan for this matter, even if Xianqing doesn't mention it now, when Ling Yin is ready, the widow will definitely implement this plan." ”

Ye Xun was stunned.

Then, Xiong Huai smiled and waved his hand and said: "Xianqing can make some preparations later, tomorrow, the widow will meet with all the nobles in Deng County who marry widows and accept stepsons, and will also comfort the widows who raise their children alone. ”

When Ye Xun heard this, he had no choice but to give up: "Only! ”
