Zhao Shaoshi listened to Liu Che's words, and his body kept trembling because of fear.

She knelt down violently and said: "Back to the family, the reason why the women don't remarry is that the children are young, and if the women remarry, the children and the younger sisters of the deceased husband may not be able to live......"

She sobbed as she spoke. In this day and age, widows rarely bring with them the children of their previous family, let alone the sisters of completely unrelated others.

So basically, a remarried widow rarely has any contact with her former family.

Xu said that when she was sad, beside her, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old also began to cry.

Come to think of it, this little girl is the youngest sister of her deceased husband.

When Liu Che heard this, he also felt quite pitiful.

"Second, the deceased husband of the folk woman was ordered by the first grandfather of the folk woman, and he was determined to complete the will of the first grandfather...... "Zhao Shaoshi bowed his head and kowtowed: "Although the deceased husband is deceased, his ambition still exists, and the folk woman feels that no matter how bitter and tired she is, she must pull this son to become an adult, teach him to read and write, and grow up to inherit the will of the deceased husband and his grandfather!" ”

Liu Che listened to it and felt that his IQ was not enough.

Didn't this Zhao Shao elope?

Why did you get involved with Shao Ping again?

So he asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhao Shao didn't dare to hide it, so he told the matter one by one, maybe these things had been held in his heart for too long, or it could be that he was taken by the power of the prince, so she said it in detail.

After listening to Zhao Shao's narration.

Liu Che finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that Shao Ping, Marquis of Tanglin, was actually the fifth-generation disciple of Xu Xing.

back then. After Shao Ping was dismissed, he was disheartened and lived in seclusion outside the Tanglin Gate. After the frustration of his career, Shao Ping felt that from the Qin to the Han Dynasty, the peasant family declined, and there was no achievement, and the peasant family that once occupied an important position in the Qin state political system actually fell to the situation that there was no official of more than 1,000 stone in the Manchu Dynasty.

So, Shao Ping decided to synthesize all the writings of the peasant family and the miscellaneous family. Combined with the actual situation and the development of agricultural technology since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, a book was compiled to guide agricultural production and development, so as to reproduce the grand occasion of the heyday of the peasant family.

But writing a book is hard at this time.

However, Shao Ping wanted to write a relatively unpopular peasant work.

It took ten years. Shao Pingcai collected a full set of materials, such as "Shennong", "Ye Lao", "Zai's", etc., and also referred to books such as "Guanzi" and "Lü's Spring and Autumn".

But Shao Ping only started and wrote a general framework, and he was already dying.

Thereupon. This continues to be written. It was handed over to Shao Ping's proud disciple, Zhao Yuan, a native of Changling-as to why he didn't hand over this task to the Shao family, according to Zhao Shao's words, Shao Ping thought that his descendants were content with the status quo, unwilling and impossible to endure this hardship, and spend their whole lives writing books.

In order to encourage and motivate Zhao Yuan to write books with his heart, Shao Ping even married his granddaughter to Zhao Yuan.

Pity. Shao Ping died, and his bones were not cold. The Shao family tore up all the conditions that Shao Ping had promised, and even drove Zhao Yuan out of the mansion, and did not recognize the marriage between Zhao Yuan and Zhao Shao, and ordered Zhao Shao and Zhao Yuan to divorce.

Well, the Han family can be divorced, and the divorce can be initiated by the woman.

Like the famous inspirational man Zhu Maichen, he is a tragic example of being divorced by his original partner.

Fortunately, Zhao Shao refused to obey, and secretly ran out of Shao Mansion with Zhao Yuan at night.

But in this way, many of the materials collected and prepared by Shao Ping during his lifetime, especially the precious books such as "Shennong" and "Lü's Spring and Autumn", could not be taken away because there were too many. In a hurry, the husband and wife had time to take away the manuscript of Shao Ping's own handwriting and many original manuscripts of Guanzhong agricultural technology that he had collected and organized.

After the young couple eloped, they did not go incognito but returned to Zhao Yuan's hometown, relying on the few hectares of land passed down by Zhao Yuan's parents, and lived a life of male writing and female farming and weaving.

However, life soon teaches a lesson in reality for the couple, who are looking forward to a happy future.

If you want to write a book, especially a peasant book that involves the preservation of reality, you will definitely not be able to write it at home.

Many numbers and examples have to be verified by oneself. This requires going around and inspecting, and consulting with old farmers from all over the country.

In addition, I had to buy all kinds of books from the farmer again.

All of this requires a huge amount of money to support.

So, in just a few years, the Zhao family, which was originally quite well-off, sold their fields and houses......

To add insult to injury, Zhao Yuan contracted a disease because of running around all year round, and finally died of serious illness a year ago.

And this Zhao Shao is also a woman with backbone.

After her husband died, she vowed not only to bring up her husband's young sister and son and take care of them, but also to let her son continue to inherit the unfinished ideals of Shao Ping and Zhao Yuan when he grew up.

After listening to Zhao Shao's story, Liu Che touched the corners of his eyes that were a little moist, and said: "The farmer has the Marquis of Tanglin, and with a person like Zhao Yuan, the farmer will not die!" ”

However, Liu Che knew that he couldn't believe what he said.

Two thousand years later, all the peasant writings were scattered, and there were no fragments or fragments.

Later generations can only glimpse the ideas and characters of this school of thought and characters that were at its peak and almost alongside Confucianism from classics such as "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", "Guanzi" and "Mencius".

You must know that even though Qin Shi Huang ordered a ban on books, the works of the peasants were specially amnestied by Qin Shi Huang, emphasizing that they should be protected, not burned.

Although the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty dealt a blow to the peasant families, the actual impact was not as severe as that of the other Zhuzi Baijia.

Up to now, Liu Che can still find the complete version of "Shennong", "Zai's", "Zhao's", "Yelao" and other peasant works in the archives of Shiqu Pavilion.

All the farmer's books add up to two bookshelves.

Among the hundred schools of thought, there are not many schools that have preserved such intact.

However, two thousand years later, not a single word of the well-preserved peasant works in the Shiqu Pavilion can be seen.

Why?

Confucianism came to power and took revenge.

The peasant family is a branch that split off from Mohist thought.

Originally, the contradiction between Confucianism and Mo was greater than the sky.

However, during the period of Mencius, Xu Xing, the founder of the peasant family, had a fierce conflict with Mencius. The two attacked each other, and their words were so fierce that they almost didn't point at each other's noses and scold the two goods.

It's easy to understand.

Farmer, according to Liu Che's understanding. The idea of this school of thought is 'obey the people's heart, be loyal to the people, and love the people'.

The so-called 'prosperity of government is in accordance with the will of the people; The abolition of government is against the will of the people. ’

When it came time for Xu Xing, the peasants were in full swing and put forward the '...... The sage and the people plough and eat together, and feed and rule. It means that everyone should work equally. Food is obtained through labor, not exploitation.

Ahem, hell if the ruler can accept it!

However, the social atmosphere and the shape of the nations at that time produced a large number of petty-bourgeois scholars and literati.

These people's thoughts and remarks about Xu Xing. It was greatly respected, and even many people within Confucianism were moved by Xu Xing's words and deeds and morality, and they changed their doors one after another to worship Xu Xing's teacher.

This was for Mencius, the leader of Confucianism at that time. Undoubtedly a declaration of war. So, the two eventually collided, and that famous debate took place.

After the deaths of Xu Xing and Mencius, their respective schools took very different paths.

The peasant family moved west into the Qin State, took root in the Qin State, and was strongly respected by the rulers of the Qin State, and flourished, and the Shang monarch's farming and warfare policy. This part of the cultivation was controlled by the later farmers.

Mencius's Jixia School continued to stay in the Qi State.

There was no further conflict between the two.

Until now.

But. After the little pig dismissed the Confucianism, the day of settling accounts after the autumn came.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the peasant family, as a school and a trend of thought, has completely disappeared.

So much so that two thousand years later, if you want to understand the peasants, you can only get a glimpse of the peasants' thoughts and ideas through Guò Lü Buwei's "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", Guan Zhong's "Guanzi" and Mencius's "Mencius".

Thinking like this, Liu Che couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It can only be said that those Confucian guys are the most powerful at whitewashing themselves, and killing people with a pen is even more a must.

Isn't it just losing the debate?

As for the extermination?

However, looking back, Liu Che also felt that the farmer's thinking was indeed a bit extreme.

It is really a big rebellion to want to put the people on the emperor's head, thinking that the people are greater than the emperor!

It's no wonder that rulers are willing to preserve and keep them!

Only that freak of the Qin State can accommodate these rebellious remarks.

Anyway, for Qin, if he can strengthen his national strength, he can use whatever he says, and if he doesn't agree, he just doesn't listen to it.

However, Liu Che felt that there was nothing wrong with the farmer's remarks.

In later generations, the Great Celestial Empire still shouted every day to serve the people!

Confucianism rules the country and the world with one family, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety!

In the end, isn't it the fish to continue to fish, and the shamelessness to continue to be shameless?

Slogans or something, if you want to shout it, as long as the mouth cannon does not fall into reality, what if you shout the sky?

Don't you see, when the peasant family was in the Qin State, did he say anything to the King of Qin that everyone should work equally?

Of course, Liu Che also thought about these things in his heart.

It is still necessary to talk about politics and be correct.

"Ambitious......" Liu Che looked at the little Zhao Guo, squatted down, and said with a pleasant face: "Grandfather, father, his ambition is ambitious, Zhao Guo, are you willing to inherit the legacy of your ancestors and carry it forward?" ”

Many of the people present were also particularly moved and sympathetic after listening to Zhao Shao's story.

Why are the Zhao orphans so tear-jerking, isn't it just poking the tears of the people?

The common people will always subconsciously sympathize with the weak and like to see a happy ending.

As a result, many people looked at Zhao Guo nervously, hoping that Zhao Guo could puff up his chest and say a wish.

Even Ning Cheng said in his heart: "Zhao Guo, tell the sù family, you are willing!" ”

Unlike Confucianism, which was full of hostility towards this peasant family that split from the Mohists, the Legalists were very cordial to the peasants, and basically now, it is more convenient for the peasants to go to the Legalists to do things than for the Legalists to do things with the Legalists.

Why?

In the Qin Dynasty, for more than 100 years, the farmers and the Legalists worked closely together and worked together to finally create the terrifying war plane of the Qin State.

Therefore, most Legalists in the world have a special sense of intimacy with the peasant family, and many people have never even dealt with the peasant family, but as long as they hear that so-and-so is a farmer, they will subconsciously think that he is their own person.

This is similar to the fact that most people in the Celestial Empire have been to minibuses in later generations. But when the minibus is mentioned, it will give a thumbs up and say Ba Tie, good friend. If you come across a traveler from a minibus. Basically, I can help, and I'm very enthusiastic......

At this moment, Ning Cheng listened to Zhao Shao's story, and he was both moved and inspired.

For Zhao Guo, he immediately valued him and regarded him as his true disciple!

Why?

For the Legalists, the peasant family is the little brother. In the Qin Dynasty, the Legalists were accustomed to setting their own policies and goals, leaving local chores to the peasants.

The Legalists never felt that the peasants were a threat. On the contrary, he is a good ally and little brother

Ning Cheng is now a member of the Imperial Palace, and his status is not low, and he has a great future. Naturally, he wanted to make a career in the future.

And this is the world. Legalists not only have to compete for power with the old Huang faction, but also with the increasingly prosperous Confucianism to compete for the right to speak.

For Ning Cheng, it is a matter of course and imperative to train a qualified farm assistant.

Zhao Guo is young now, but he is also seven years old, and after eight or nine years, he will grow up, and when the time comes. If cultivated properly, it can be an important assistant to his great cause.

In the expectations and expectations of everyone. Zhao Guo bowed his head very sensibly and said: "Back to the family, the disciple is willing to inherit the legacy of his grandfather and father, and in the future, he will respect the Son of Heaven and write a book of agriculture that is beneficial to the community!" ”

Although Zhao Guo's voice was a little immature, his tone was firm, his eyes were strict, and he was very serious.

When the surrounding people heard Zhao Guo's answer, they applauded.

Even Ning Cheng secretly waved his fist and shouted hello in his heart.

Liu Che also laughed, touched Xiao Zhao's head, and praised: "If you have ambition, Lone will wait for you to grow up, finish the unfinished agricultural book of the Marquis of Tanglin and your late father, and then bring it to Lone to read......"

Liu Che paused for a moment and said, "But what...... Xiao Zhao, you have to study hard and write a book that collects the achievements of the sages of the farmer, it is not something that can be done simply, there are still a lot of things you have to learn! ”

"No!" Zhao Guo kowtowed heavily and said, "Boy, remember the teachings of the family!" ”

Although he is small, he already looks quite stable.

This is probably the so-called youth and old age, and the children of the poor are in charge of the house early......

Liu Che stood up and instructed Ning Cheng: "In the future, this child will be handed over to Qing to teach, and Qing must be attentive to ......."

"No!" Ning Cheng bowed happily and replied, he was too willing to do this.

"In addition, I ordered to go down, this Zhao Shao family, Li Zheng and the stewards of Si Xian Yuan, take care of one or two, orphans and widows, help if you can......" Liu Che ordered.

Li Zheng and Wang Dao, who was following Liu Che, immediately bowed down and said, "No! ”

As a result, everyone's eyes looking at Zhao Shao's family began to become hot.

With the prince's words, their family at least don't have to worry about life problems in the future.

………………………………………………

Out of the north, Liu Che rode a horse and walked slowly in the sunset.

Beside him, Wang Dao cautiously rode over and asked, "Your Highness, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Yes...... Liu Che nodded: "I suddenly feel a heavy responsibility!" ”

The writings of the peasant family are hardly seen in later generations.

The Mo family is no better.

At this time, there are still hundreds of schools of thought that are still vibrant, and after the two Han Dynasty, there are still few people who can still have fire.

This really made Liu Che feel a lot of pressure.

Although, there is everything in the hundred schools of thought, even the anarchists.

But, in any case, these classics and knowledge that are still preserved today are the thoughts of the ancestors, and they are the sparks that were left behind after the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, how can they be destroyed casually?

Even the Omi ghost animals, burned at the stake in the Inquisition, preserved the writings of the Greeks.

In all fairness, the set of people's rights and people-oriented ideas in the West in later generations can actually be found in the Warring States period and in the hundred schools of thought, but the expressions are different but the meaning is similar.

"No matter what, I will not destroy the minds of any family, on the contrary, I will protect them, and in the future I will engrave them all into engravings and print and publish them......

Of course, some remarks that are too dangerous should be kept in the palace for the time being......

For example, anarchist ideas and rhetoric......

That same evening. After Liu Che returned to the palace in Chang'an City, he immediately summoned Zhang Tang, Ji Di, and Ju Meng to a meeting.

I gave up a task.

That is to collect and organize all the existing peasant writings.

This includes, but is not limited to, the peasant chapters quoted in Lü's Spring and Autumn and Guanzi.

At the same time, Liu Che also wrote the Shaofu Yamen. In the name of the crown prince, he ordered the Shaofu Yamen to send the officials of agriculture before the end of the year, and fifty talented people with more than 100 stones came to his palace to obey the order.

At the same time, Liu Che also used the prince's decree to write the Taishi Yamen, and asked the Taishi Ling Sima to talk to the officials of the Taishi Yamen. Come to his womb to help.

How could Liu Che really wait for Zhao Guo to grow up before writing a book?

Moreover, Liu Che didn't think that Zhao Guo could really write a book covering the entire agricultural subject by himself.

It took the Marquis of Tanglin ten years. It's just the beginning......

This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

Because Liu Che knows what it takes to write a real agricultural book.

In addition to understanding agriculture. You also have to know astronomy and geography. You have to know technology, you have to know math, and you have to know the season.

Agriculture has never been a separate subject.

Wanting to write a textbook on agriculture without the power of the state is simply impossible in this era.

As a simple example, if you write about agriculture, you can't write about the seasons.

Then you need to calculate the time of day.

Later, Piggy changed the calendar at the beginning, and his greatest contribution was to re-establish a new calendar. For the first time, the new Taichu calendar calculates the changes in the 24 solar terms.

And in order to calculate these seasons, Sima Qian and Er Kuan and other mathematicians. Count N days.

This alone is not something that one or two people can calculate.

In addition, technology and equipment also require professionals.

Therefore, it can only and must be Liu Che, the prince, who takes the lead and advocates it, so that it is possible to write such a book.

Liu Che even thought of the title of the book, and called it "New Shennong", in order to pay tribute to the old version of the classic peasant masterpiece written by Xu Xing.

………………………………………………

The next day, as soon as Liu Che got up, he found that a woman appeared in front of him who had not appeared in the palace in the past.

"Zhao Shao?" Liu Che bit his tongue, then shook his head, and at this moment he knew what was going on.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of people with stinky feet.

The people above only need to make a slight statement, and the people below will take care of things for you.

Even in the Celestial Empire in later generations, some shameless people dared to use any means in order to tie up with their superiors.

Think about what kind of mistresses, prostitutes, and you can understand the situation that Liu Che is facing now.

It is no exaggeration to say that in order to curry favor with Shangguan, some people don't say that they send women to Liu Che's side, that is, they send their wives and daughters, which is also joyful, and I can't wait for it!

"The royal road!" Liu Che sat up from the couch, put on a straight face, and shouted.

"Your Highness!" Wang Dao immediately rolled in, knelt down, and kowtowed: "The slave is here!" ”

"What's going on?" Liu Che's face was not very good, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the woman who was standing in the hall, with her head down, trembling all over, and asked.

"Your Highness...... This...... This ......" Wang Dao looked at it and knew that it had happened, and this fart was probably slapped on the horse's leg. Hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Your Highness, this is the people below who are filial to you, they all say that Your Highness is in charge of state affairs, and there is no intimate person around him, and the Yi family is not there, seeing that this Zhao Shao people are still in order, they will make their own opinions......"

In fact, this matter is what Wang Dao himself instructed and personally ordered.

But now seeing that the prince is furious, Wang Dao did not hesitate to sell the people below.

"Nonsense!" Liu Che waved his hand and said: "Send her back, Lone is the prince, not a prodigal son in Flower Street and Willow Lane!" ”

When he said this, to be honest, Liu Che was really reluctant in his heart.

Well, this Zhao Shao is a good figure and a beautiful person, the key is that Liu Che always feels that she is very similar to Sister Chiling in some aspects!

As a traverser, Liu Che still remembers that sentence: Fight to the bend and capture Lin Chiling alive!

Ahem, it's really reluctant to send away such a beauty who has been sent to your mouth.

However, there is no way, this state must be expressed, otherwise, as soon as this mouth is opened, God knows if someone will send a young girl or something next time.

Although Liu Che likes women, he is measured, and he will not be like his father.

In a sense, Liu Che felt that he still had discipline, he only wanted a willing woman, and he didn't want to carry a Huang Shiren's pot.

When Wang Dao heard this, his whole body trembled, this is a very severe accusation.

He pounced, then kowtowed: "Your Highness, the slave and maid have been punished, please punish Your Highness!" ”

Flower Street Willow Lane, that is the red light district that the whole Chang'an knows.

That Zhao Shao also immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Please don't drive the concubine back......"

As she spoke, she began to sobb lowly.

She's a smart woman.

She is well aware of what will happen once she is returned.

Her son and sister-in-law will now be destroyed, and she will also lose her umbrella, and she will become even more miserable than before.

The reason is very simple, before, she could rely on the Shaw Brothers' signboard to barely protect herself, although there are many guys in Shanglin Yuan who covet her beauty, but they will be more or less afraid of the Shaw Brothers.

However, if she is kicked out of the palace by the crown prince, then all the people who were frightened by the name of the Shaw family before will no longer have any scruples.

She didn't want to live like that even if she died.

Besides, the prince was right, sooner or later the widow would have to remarry.

Instead of marrying an old man or a pot-bellied nobleman or a wealthy businessman, it is better to serve the prince.

Even if he has no reputation, even if he may fall out of favor, at least he can protect his family and allow his son and sister-in-law to live a decent life. (To be continued......)
