Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

In the spring of March, catkins were flying, and on the calm lake, a large ship was cutting through the waves.

In order to support the Fuxing Society, Ning Fan mobilized the power of Jinyiwei and specially selected a large area of ​​​​the East Lake in Jingdong for the Fuxing Society. Beautiful buildings were built near the mountains and lakes.

The lake is extremely clear, and the breeze is gently raising the waves. The ship, with the three characters of Fuxing Society engraved on it, is moving forward slowly on the lake. At this time, Ning Fan is standing on the deck, surrounded by people from Fuxing Society. some core members.

In recent months, the Fuxing Society has continuously sent dozens of top talents to Jinyiwei. These members of the Fuxing Society were directly selected into the core department of Jinyiwei and became Ning Fan's most loyal confidants.

In fact, Ning Fan's original idea had two carriages. The so-called two carriages were one for civil and military affairs.

In this era, there is actually a huge gap that is difficult to overcome when selecting and appointing talents. The traditional talent utilization system is actually a recommendation system, which is recommended step by step by the aristocratic families in various places.

These recommended talents often come from the families of poetry, books and etiquette. They often have powerful families behind them and have huge resources themselves. These people continue to hold power from generation to generation.

With these people holding power, they naturally only know how to create and seize benefits for their own families, while turning a blind eye to the interests of the entire middle- and lower-class civilians.

"Tang Dahu, you are the core figure of the entire Renaissance Society, and I have high hopes for you. But I am asking you a question now. Do you think it is necessary for ordinary people to learn to read and read newspapers?"

Ning Fan put his hands behind his back and asked Tang Dahu beside him.

This sentence directly stopped Tang Dahu from asking, because it was actually difficult to answer this sentence, and no matter how he answered, there was a risk of failure.

"In my memory, His Majesty once said that productivity determines the superstructure. I think this sentence is very essential and has benefited me a lot."

"If our well-off people have not been freed from food and clothing, then literacy and reading are a luxury and a burden for them. They carry hoes and weed in the fields every day, so how can they have time to read and study? , not to mention that they can’t fill their stomachs, they are so hungry that they are dizzy, how can they have money to buy books?”

Tang Dahu did not answer Ning Fan's question directly, but used Ning Fan's own theory to refute Ning Fan's own words, which made Ning Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm just asking you to answer a question. I didn't expect you to have a lot of thoughts in your heart. You rambled here and there, but refused to answer directly and took my own words..."

Ning Fan shook his head helplessly, but nodded and said: "But you still have a very profound perspective on the problem. Adding up all the people in Dakang now, it would be good if one out of a hundred people can read. In the future, we will be able to read." The rate should reach 70 to 80 percent or even 100 percent.”

Ning Fan's words immediately frightened everyone in the Fuxing Club.

You must know that reading and literacy in this era is a matter of honor for the ancestors. In this era, being able to read books and newspapers is already a great person!

But now Ning Fan wants everyone to be able to read and read, which really makes the more radical students in the Fuxing Society a little confused.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible?"

Tang Dahu looked shocked, and even Wen Siming next to him was a little puzzled.

Zhu Qingshan, who had been silent for a long time, took the initiative to stand up and said: "This matter may have been impossible originally, but now it is really possible to become a reality. The original book can only be used for announcements, so a book is very precious. Books need to be passed down for three or even ten generations. But now His Majesty has invented a new papermaking technology, which has greatly reduced the price of papermaking. The prices of various books have also dropped tenfold and hundreds of times. Ordinary people can buy one for a few pennies. This book.”

"If the cognitive stage of ordinary people is limited to the reading and literacy level, I don't think it is impossible."

Zhu Qingshan has a different view than others. He unequivocally supports Ning Fan. He is not flattering, but has his own views and opinions.

His words made Ning Fan look at him frequently, and he was very satisfied with Zhu Qingshan, because Zhu Qingshan's words completely penetrated Lin Fan's heart.

"Everyone remember, nothing is difficult in the world. As long as you climb, no matter how high the mountain is, no matter how far the road is, it still needs to be measured by human footsteps. The saying that human power can conquer the sky is not wrong anywhere."

Ning Fan's words came out frequently, making the surrounding Fuxing Club students excited.

It has been nearly half a year since the founding of the Fosun Society. During this half-year period, many students who were originally unknown have begun to become famous thanks to the Fuxing Society.

In fact, the Fuxing Society is not a purely word-for-word organization. The purpose of its establishment was marked by politics and Ning Fan's expectations for the future.

In fact, whether one can enter Ning Fan's Dharma Eyes, Ning Fan only needs to ask a few questions and let these people answer them, while Ning Fan watches silently.

After an afternoon of screening and watching, Ning Fan has finalized six characters in his mind. These six young talents will be introduced by Ning Fan for the first time in the court tomorrow.

Of course, they are only the first batch, and there will be a second and third batch of these people, all of whom will be sent by Ningfen to serve as prefects in the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River.

"Dahu, how many people are there in the Fuxing Society now?"

Ning Fan's overall feeling now is that the quality of the core members of Fuxing Society has improved by more than one level. These people's views on the current situation and their acceptance of new ideas have far exceeded Ning Fan's expectations.

What surprised Ning Fan even more was that a large part of these people came from Xishan Academy. Graduates of Xishan Academy joined the Fuxing Society and soon became core members.

Originally, the Ta Kung Pao published in Kyoto often published articles by Fuxing Society, but now Fuxing Society has independently created a new newspaper. It has its own newspaper called Fuxing News. Every day, it criticizes the current ills and proposes some solutions to the current situation. bureau’s views and solutions to problems.

"Your Majesty, young people do lack some experience. He is a young man who is motivated, has opinions, and has a clear mind. More importantly, the young man has received an orthodox education and accepted His Majesty's new ideas..."

Zhu Qingshan seemed very happy and excited when he saw Ning Fan recently. Once he opened the conversation, he could no longer close it.
