Chapter 169 Curious Baby
"Brother Feng, why doesn't your academy decide whether the question is right or wrong when you organize this kind of debate contest, but temporarily determine who is right and who is wrong?"
Tanchun finds this method of temporary selection of pros and cons very novel, especially even if he chooses a party that he thinks is wrong, he still finds it incredible to try his best to refute it.
"Third sister, what you said is quite biased." Feng Ziying saw that Tanchun's pair of heroic and beautiful eyes were full of curiosity, and also felt that this girl was quite interesting, but it was rare for her to be so interested in the topic of strategy theory.
"Every topic we choose basically follows an event or a policy of the imperial court. In our opinion, this kind of policy does not matter whether it is right or wrong. We just judge its pros and cons for the court or the common people according to the period. Basically, every policy has more or less pros and cons, depending on the time, situation, and pros and cons,..."
Tanchun frowned slightly, still not quite understanding the meaning of Feng Ziying's words, the court policy does not matter right or wrong, only pros and cons?This seems a bit difficult to understand.
"Well, let's just give an example. For example, Uncle Shi asked Baoyu to study now. 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 Jia's mansion, and the paths paved with stone slabs extend in all directions.
There is no Grand View Garden yet, but the weather is still not comparable to other places like Feng Mansion. There are begonias and black locusts in the surrounding Xifu, and occasionally there are a few osmanthus scattered in a good way.
Tanchun was taken aback, is there even a need to ask?However, she has a straightforward personality, knowing that since Feng Ziying asked this question, there must be a trap, but she still replied calmly: "This must be a good thing. Brother Bao can read books, and he can also shine on our Jia family. He can also do it in the future." Have a good future."
"Well, that's reasonable, but it depends on the situation." Feng Ziying nodded slightly, and walked forward with her hands behind her back, "But Baoyu doesn't like reading, and he is very conflicted. He is still young, if he is forced to study, Maybe he will feel more uncomfortable, maybe he will get sick, and the ancestors and your mother will also worry and feel uncomfortable when they see Baoyu sick, maybe they will have trouble with Uncle Shi, maybe they will fall ill, and the result is that the book is not read. , but made the house restless, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
These words overwhelmed Tanchun.
This possibility is very high.
Brother Bao's dislike and resistance to reading is known to everyone in the house. In order to avoid reading, he has thought of all kinds of methods, but now the master wants to let him go to study, and he has quarreled with his ancestor and wife because of this, otherwise he would not There is such a big commotion, but it is still unknown whether Brother Bao can read books in the future.
At least Tanchun himself is not very optimistic in his heart.
If you press too hard, it is really possible that you will get sick or even the things that Brother Feng said will happen, then it will really become a bad thing. Thinking of the ending of Brother Zhu, Tanchun's heart is tense.
Not to mention being sick, it is possible to pretend to be insane, but Feng Ziying didn’t mention it. Maybe this is Jia Baoyu’s last big move. Let’s see if you still force me to study.
After hesitating for a while, Tanchun pouts his lips again and summons up his courage: "Brother Feng, is it different? Then how can the court policy be the same as these things?"
Feng Ziying laughed, looked at Tan Yatou's curious baby, and shook her head: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, in fact, it's all the same inside, so let me give another example, um, it's our academy debate preliminaries It is a question of time, the advantages and disadvantages of the imperial court's sea ban policy."
This is no secret. The imperial court has continued the sea ban policy since the Ming Dynasty. Although the sea ban has been abolished and smuggling has been rampant in the past 20 years, the sea ban is still implemented in name. However, it is said that it has intentionally lifted the sea ban, but it has not yet There is a conclusion.
Although Tanchun was young, she had heard of this matter, but she only heard about it, "Brother Feng, this little girl is not very clear, but it must have a lot to do with the Japanese pirates' invasion of the sea and the disadvantage of paying tribute." ?”
Feng Ziying was greatly surprised, and there was a little more appreciation and joy in her eyes looking at Tanchun.
Although this is not a secret, but the nine-year-old girl who wants to explore the spring can tell the main reason for the court's sea ban. Maybe the other party doesn't understand the real reason, but it is very rare to know these two points. Feng Ziying estimates Even if you ask people like Jia Baoyu or even Jia Rong, you may not know the reason.
Under Feng Ziying's gaze, Tanchun felt flustered for no reason, his cheeks burned slightly, subconsciously lowered his head, and twisted the corner of his clothes, "Brother Feng, is it true that my sister is wrong?"
"No, no, you're right." Feng Ziying calmed down and said affirmatively.
It seems that this Tan girl really has some heroic vigor. She is only nine years old, but she knows a thing or two about these current political policies and the whole story.
"Our Great Zhou's sea ban policy follows that of the previous Ming Dynasty. The reason for the sea ban in the former Ming Dynasty is that, on the one hand, there was a deviation in the tribute policy, which led to the inability to make ends meet, and the imperial court couldn't afford it. Well, this is actually our Great Zhou's sea ban. One reason is that the former Ming sea ban is another reason. When the former Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang competed for the world, many of his opponents were closely related to sea power, so he was very afraid of sea power, so he ordered the sea ban. Of course, in the later period, it was because The rise of Japanese pirates has gradually evolved from smuggling to robbery, posing a great threat to the security of the sea, and this situation has continued until after the establishment of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is still the same... So the sea ban policy has become the fundamental national policy of the imperial court."
Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying answered for herself so patiently, Tanchun felt like a deer bumping into her heart, a sense of satisfaction from being valued and paid attention spontaneously emerged, and her tone was lighter, "Then according to what you said, Brother Feng, the imperial court's sea ban policy must still be the same. Are there many disadvantages?"
"Of course, the maritime embargo policy has many disadvantages, and it is difficult to sum it up in one word. In other words, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. The benefits brought by the maritime embargo are not worth mentioning at all, but the disadvantages are Both the imperial court and the common people suffered great losses,..."
Seeing that Brother Feng was talking eloquently, he didn't refuse his questions at all, and even encouraged him to ask questions. The Tanchun powder in his heart was full of spring, and he looked forward to it, "Then why is the court's tribute policy unable to make ends meet? ?Since it is a small country from the surrounding area who came to pay tribute and offer tribute, the imperial court should have a lot of benefits, so why can't they make ends meet?"
"Hehe, that's a good question, but it's a long story to answer." Feng Ziying didn't expect that the Tan girl in front of her was really a curious baby. It cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
"This tribute policy is a policy system of the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains towards the surrounding vassal states. Well, the intention is good. It shows the grandeur of my Central Kingdom, and all nations come to court. But how many times do the vassals of some small countries around here come here? , I found a loophole in it, that is our court, it is very face-saving, if you want to send a tribute item of one tael of silver, then the court will give you a gift of fifty taels of silver in return,..."
"... After going back and forth, everyone figured it out. It turns out that you are saving face. That's okay. I will pay more tribute. I will come twice a year. Now this opening is getting bigger and bigger. Our Great Zhou court I can't stand it anymore, you give me something like 10 taels of silver, and the imperial court has to return 100 million taels of gift, every now and then, and you don't come according to the time limit our imperial court has set for you, who can bear it?"
Feng Ziying told these two little girls as if she was telling a story, and Tanchun was overjoyed when she heard the story.
In his opinion, since Miss Tan is so interested, she must be willing to listen, but she didn't notice that Miss Lin was already frosted, her face was turned away, and a bright red sweat towel was twisted in her hand Go, it's almost crushed, and the small cherry mouth that is pursed is almost enough to hang an oil bottle.
Daiyu was really about to explode.
This Tan girl is too abominable, you have your second brother Bao not to pester you, but you want to rob Brother Feng from me?
If you want to follow me, I will bear it, so you just stay on the sidelines, why are you still making a fuss?
One question after another, didn't you see me and didn't speak yet?
Do you know how to be polite? Do you obey the rules?
The same goes for Brother Feng, he didn't wink at all, didn't he see how ugly his face was?
She was still there talking to Tan Yatou about the court's policy of banning tribute from sea, did she really understand Tan Yatou?I just like to pretend that I like to ask questions, which is definitely to take up my own time on purpose.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the small courtyard where he lived, but the conversation between the two of them didn't seem to end at all, so what should I do?
The more Daiyu thought about it, the more wronged she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, her eye circles gradually turned red, and her mouthful of fine silver teeth was about to bite her lips to bleed.
Feng Ziying really didn't notice this, but Tanchun was even more interested.
In this mansion, although she also read some miscellaneous books, she never had the opportunity to talk about things outside the mansion with others. She did not expect to talk about these things inadvertently today. I don't quite understand one or two of these books, but hearing Brother Feng's words today made her more curious and longing for the world outside the mansion.
It would be great if Brother Feng could often come to the mansion to talk to Sister Lin and myself, then I could ask a lot of questions, but my ancestors and mother seem to hope that Brother Feng can come to the mansion more to teach Second Brother Bao, maybe I can really see Brother Feng often.
