However, even if Lord Zhou fainted, it would be useless, because Emperor Tianhe could not allow the Japanese to run rampant. The only thing he could do was to work hard to raise money.

In order to raise military expenses, Zhou Zonghai didn't care about so much. He told the story of his desire to advertise in the newspaper directly in the court.

Today is the great dynasty. As soon as Zhou Zonghai said this, he immediately encountered many oppositions. Some said "insulting a gentleman" and some said "competing for profit with the people". In short, most people use a high-level perspective.

Criticizing Zhou Zonghai's ideas.

Zhou Zonghai listened to the sarcasm and objection coming from all directions, and couldn't help but feel bitter. There was a chance to make money in front of him, but these people refused to agree for the sake of face. It was really helpless! These people stood and spoke without any money.

Just ask the Ministry of Revenue, no matter how hard it is to raise money by others!

There were more and more waves of opposition. Zhou Zonghai secretly wrote down the most opposed people in his heart. If the people in their yamen come to the Ministry of Revenue to report the accounts in the future, it would not be that simple!

When the voice gradually became weaker, Zhou Zonghai stood up and said, "Now the enemy is in front of him, the imperial court needs to mobilize troops to rescue him. As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass will come first. These tens of thousands of people need a lot of money. However,

Disasters have been going on for years and the treasury is empty. If everyone still has to be stubborn, then I would like to ask everyone, where should this military expenditure come from?"

Someone immediately retorted: "Raising military expenses is the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue. Lord Zhou himself can't think of a solution, so why do you ask us instead?"

"Zhou's solution is there, but you just don't agree. I've heard everyone's concerns clearly just now, but someone has already done this by publishing advertisements in the newspaper. Why haven't you heard that he has been criticized among the people?

The government and businessmen have benefited, and the students have benefited. This is clearly a mutual benefit. Why does it become so unpleasant in your mouth?” Zhou Zonghai, as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, is not the kind that can be bullied.

"What you are talking about is the top scholar Chu Ci? He has always been eccentric and doesn't care. Could it be that Lord Zhou, you still want to learn from him?" The speaker sneered at Chu Ci. People like to stand out in everything are not above.

They will be obedient in one sentence?

"The saint said, if three people walk, there must be my teacher. If it is good, then what's wrong with learning like him? If there is no one who inspires new things, isn't this world boring?" said Wen Taifu. He was a civil servant.

The status of Zhong is high, and even some disagreement is not accepted, and there is no refutation.

Zhou Zonghai smiled gratefully at Taifu Wen, and then said, "The Taifu is very much. I just suddenly remembered something. I still remember that more than ten years ago, the Wei Dynasty was also full of disasters. At that time, the late emperor issued an order.

Any merchants who are willing to donate silver to provide relief to the victims can get an imperial examination quota. If it is a disgrace to place advertisements in newspapers, it is a disgrace. So what explanation should these merchants redeem the imperial examination quota?"

This question left the opposing adults speechless. In the past, when the late emperor was doing things like this, they did not have any objections. But the late emperor was very single. He said: "Since everyone does not agree with this method, then the disaster relief bank will be

Let's go out in the middle of your home."

When it comes to their own interests, these people no longer say anything, and have to watch one merchant after another send silver and supplies, and then run back home happily with the freshly released quota.

After saying this, Emperor Tianhe came out to smooth things over. He agreed to the advertising request, but also stated that he was not allowed to make profits. After the crisis was resolved, no advertisement clause should be published in the newspaper again.

Lord Zhou was very happy and immediately wanted to go back and post invitations to let those guys who are not short of money come over...

Chu Ci didn't know the turbulence in the capital. He only heard about the recent maritime defense martial law. The government also posted a notice stating that all merchant ships would suspend their business in seas and that all fishermen would not cross the maritime defense line when fishing.

This notice has no impact on the Tixue Department. He is now planning to compile new textbooks. It is December, and there are still three months left before the start of the new school year. Chu Ci wants to complete it within three months.

Procedures such as material selection, writing, review and printing allow freshmen to use new textbooks as soon as school starts.

This idea has always been in his heart, but the time was not yet ripe before, so he did not reveal it. Now everything in Zhangzhou Prefecture is on track, and coupled with the outstanding results of Zhangzhou Prefecture this year's provincial examination, he

Take advantage of the situation and bring it up.

Now the top and bottom of the Tixue Department of Zhangzhou Prefecture are one hundred convinced by Chu Ci. Since he came, Zhangzhou Prefecture can be said to have changed a new world. Now, no matter what he wants to do, they are one hundred supporters.

There is no more objection.

But this time, after all, it was a big deal. Although they trusted Chu Ci very much, they were still hesitant. Chu Ci looked at their expressions and understood in his heart that this matter was a bit difficult.

To put it nicely, it is innovation, to put it badly, it is tampering with the book of saints. In the eyes of some guardians, this is an unforgivable thing.

"If you have any opinions, you can speak freely. If everyone agrees, Chu will not object." After all, this writing team must be played by these people. If they disagree, Chu Ci will not be stubborn.

"Mr. Chu, aren't those books good? Why do you have to rewrite any textbooks?" An old man stood up. His surname was Nian. Since he became an official, he has been working in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

As he grew older, he came to the Tixue Department to organize books. He was not so evident on weekdays, but the old man still had some influence. As soon as he spoke, everyone unconsciously

I calmed down and wanted to see how Chu Ci would reply to him.

"Mr. Nian, there are several reasons why Chu wanted to rewrite textbooks. First, it was to remove the drought and preserve the essence. I believe everyone understands that although the books compiled by the ancients are good, there are also some dross in them. Young people who have just entered elementary school have just started to study.

Children cannot distinguish right from wrong. It is harmful or useless to let them learn this kind of thing, so it is better to delete it. Furthermore, it is inappropriate. The ancients' books are naturally aimed at people from that time. Now, regardless of law, human nature, we have all the same things as in ancient times.

There is a big difference. What's the point of becoming inappropriate after students learn some of the things they have learned?”

"Third, in addition to "Three Hundred Thousand", there are more than ten books including "The Rules of Disciples", "Enhanced Virtue", "Young Learning Qionglin", and "Fisherman's Rhyme", most of which are

The contents are overlapping. It is better to integrate them into one place, so that students can learn more and remember more deeply."

Chu Ci's eloquence was beyond his reach. Even when he felt something was inappropriate, he felt that it was indeed quite reasonable when he heard his words.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was relaxed, Chu Ci left behind the most convincing reason: "Don't you want to leave your name in history books?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Chu Ci, which shows that most literati cannot escape the shackles of reputation. Since ancient times, politicians compete for power and merchants pursue profits. For these literati, money and power are good,

But it is not what they want most. They prefer to keep their names in history than the dominant party. This is why the people in the Censorate always threaten the emperor by hitting the pillars.
