Chapter 183 Cui Shi's Writings
The golden scale descended to Rui Dao Xing, and Li Shu kowtowed to the north to worship.

All hope that the sages will come to the east, and descend to the world and the inner peace of the universe.

These are all written by Cui Shi, the leader of the literary and poetic circles of the dynasty. Although the writing is a little straightforward and the language is a little simple, it can still let the emperor see his patriotic heart and express his extremely strong patriotism and love for the people. , so he is loved by the people. Although this dear man has no political achievements, he has been promoted all the way, from Yilang to serving as a doctor's sacrificial wine, and then promoted to Guangluxun, which is only one step away from the core of the temple.

It's hard for everyone to say anything about this kind of behavior. The emperor likes it, so what else can you do?
However, when this person dedicated two of his own works to the emperor, the content of these two books shocked everyone. With such insights and talents, after his "Political Commentary" was submitted to the emperor, the emperor was stunned and immediately passed it to the officials to read.

According to Cui Shi himself, in the first year of Yuanjia, the imperial court summoned Gongqing County to recommend a person of filial piety and conduct. He was recommended by the county and conscripted into the bus. , talking about dozens of things that are convenient in the world, called "Political Theory", but it has not been completed in a book, and his political theories have not been accepted by the emperor.

The little fat man carefully watched it repeatedly.

Cui Shi's argument hits the point, the words are pleasant and accurate, and the emperor is tempted. The first point of the argument is prohibition, prohibition of extravagance, and opposition to corruption and oppression. , but in such a rich and prosperous age, they naturally became rich, and the impact was that luxury became a trend.

Cui Shi was very opposed to this kind of ethos. Many officials believed that luxury is the embodiment of a prosperous age, and it can also show the so-called celebrity style. Work hard, after the little fatty came to the throne, because the national treasury was empty, he also devoted himself to diligence and thrift. Now, although the treasury is rich, but there are rumors, he can only continue to be diligent and thrifty.

In this regard, he agrees with Cui Shi's opinion.

In addition, there is the problem of corruption and bribery. Because of the scientific merit system in the Mintun and the appointment of government officials, the moral cultivation of most officials has problems, so that many things such as corruption and bribery have occurred, which makes He Xiu and other officials even more serious. With sufficient reasons to oppose the meritorious service system, Cui believed that the problem could be solved by improving the treatment of officials and raising their salaries to support honesty.

In addition, he pointed out that today's cultivated land is out of proportion to the population. For example, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places have less cultivated land but a large population, while Youzhou and Bingzhou have large land and few people. He pointed out that the court still needs to implement large-scale Migrate people to the real side to adjust the ratio of population to cultivated land.

Finally, it is about the issue of the legal system. In terms of the legal system, he also proposed that "the punishment is the medicine and stone for chaos; the moral education is the beam and meat of Xingping". It varies from time to time. In the troubled times of "becoming the king of the kings and meeting with bad luck", severe punishments should be used, but in the prosperous times, the two should be combined. He especially praised Emperor Xuan for adopting severe punishments to make the society stable.

It is also mentioned that Emperor Yuan practiced Confucianism, "many lenient policies", and became the "lord of the foundation disaster" of the dynasty.

The little fat man nodded, indeed, he was forced by the times to implement severe punishments and laws. It can be seen that he is also a wise master like Emperor Xuan. Thinking about it, Yang Qiu, Zhang Yun and others will also like this political commentary very much. , He continued to look at it, and Cui Shi was very opposed to the pardon. He believed that "forgiveness is for the adulterer, and the adulterer is for the adulterer".

"There are many crimes", such mutual promotion, "the two cannot rest", it is advocated that amnesty should not be issued lightly, and it is best to only have one amnesty at least ten years apart.

As soon as this complete political commentary came out, all the officials were shocked and praised it one after another. The sacrificial winemen of the Taiyuan Academy and Menzixue were the first to take this article away, and copied it by themselves, so that many scholars could learn it, which made Cui Shi famous immediately. Domestically, the reputation is known all over the world, and then Cui Shi took out another big killer, "The Moon Order of the Four People".

This is a real killer. The emperor almost jumped up when he saw it, and he was shocked by Cui Shi.

There are nine sections in this book, which describe all the agricultural activities from the first month to December in the farm, the order of the seasons, and many handicrafts. Education, how to maintain and improve family relationships, and how to deal with old and new relationships in society, etc., also wrote detailed regulations from many aspects.

The second is how to arrange farming and harvesting according to the season and climate, how to grow oilseeds and vegetables, and how to process them.

The third is to teach the common people how to carry out spinning, weaving and dyeing, bleaching, tailoring, washing, reforming and other female red handicrafts. The detailed and accurate records in it make the little fat man doubt whether this guy is at home all day long Work as a maid? ?

The fourth is to teach the people how to process and brew food. Seeing this, the little fat man is already a little skeptical. How does a great Confucian who reads and writes poetry all day long master these farming tasks?

The fifth is how to repair houses and farmland water conservancy projects. In this section, the Great Confucianism has become a master architect, teaching the people to repair houses, and even has very good opinions on the construction of water conservancy projects. It should be shown to Wang Fu.

The sixth is how to harvest wild plants, mainly medicinal materials, and prepare medicinal herbs. This guy really knows how to prepare medicinal materials!The little fat man even found the Imperial Physician Order in the palace and asked him to see if the content was true. Who knows, the Imperial Physician Order only took a few glances, and then took out a pen and ink to copy it down. Believe in the authenticity of this book.

The seventh is how to preserve all kinds of utensils, large and small, in the collector's house. The little fat man didn't pay too much attention to this point.

The eighth section is about the selling and miscellaneous things.

The ninth section is about how to bathe, keep clean, and the importance of cleanliness. The little fat man didn't care about this. How important is keeping clean?
After reading the entire nine chapters, the little fat man was already astonished by this great Confucianism. He handed the book to He Xiu, and let He Xiu read it. He believed it, and asked: "But the ancient books in the palace?" The little fat man told him that it was written by the great Confucian Cui Shi, but He Xiu didn't believe it at all, he still believed that he could write political comments.

But this book, from farming, to construction, to female red handicrafts, to medical skills, and even mentions animal husbandry and breeding, how could this be written by him?He Xiu held the book, read it for a while, shook his head, and said, "I absolutely don't believe it. He can write poetry and prose, but he will never be able to write this book!"

The little fat man looked at He Xiu quietly, and asked: "Master He, why don't we make a bet?"

He Xiu looked at the little fat man, why did the words sound so familiar?
