The best county magistrate

"The eldest princess just came back a few days ago, and I noticed that she has changed a lot."

"My temperament is the biggest change. Although I have lost some weight, I look much more beautiful."

"For this, I would like to say thank you."

Yang Xuanchen could not accept Concubine Shu's thanks casually, so he naturally said that it was all a favor from His Majesty and the Empress.

Emperor Jianwen once again expressed dissatisfaction with this, "It's your credit, it's your credit, don't look like a hypocrite."

"I don't like it, you have to change it!"

Yang Xuanchen's eyes turned and his plan came to his mind. He bowed his head and immediately replied: "I will obey your Majesty's will."

"The change of the eldest princess is seventy percent due to herself, two percent to the environment of Qingshui County, and one percent to the minister's contribution."

So, he selected some key points and talked about the eldest princess's experiences and studies in Qingshui County. Of course, there were both good and bad, and he was not biased.

"According to what you said, the eldest princess can now take charge of herself?" Concubine Shu asked after hearing this.

Yang Xuanchen nodded first, then shook his head, the expression on his face became solemn.

"If you are only responsible for the operation of soap and toilet soap, there shouldn't be any big problems, and the princess is also the main person in charge of new product research."

"However, I thought..."

He paused for a moment after saying this, his brows knitted together in thought, and then he spoke again.

"If the entire Zijin Palace is handed over to the eldest princess, actual experience will be needed, and the short-term process and results will be used to verify whether the future path can be taken this way."

"If the actual situation is different from the expectation, then it also depends on whether the adjustments in the process are appropriate."

At this point, the proud look on the eldest princess's face turned ugly. She folded her arms and let out a heavy groan, expressing her dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu were overjoyed. Their views were obviously consistent with Yang Xuanchen's.

Just when the two of them were about to ask more questions, Yang Xuanchen bowed again, but this time his tone of voice didn't seem so good.

"Take Mengpo Zhai as an example. The three characters Mengpo Zhai come from the Book of Stones, and the ownership of the Book of Stones belongs to the person who wrote the book."

"Have you considered the issues of copyright and reputation? If the author of the book comes to cause trouble, will Mengpo Zhai continue to open or close down?"

"Should we deprive the author of the book of his rights based on his identity and status? Or should we hand over all the benefits to others?"

His words were very rude and pointed out the eldest princess's shortcomings directly.

Because a long time ago, something similar to the Literary Prison happened on this continent.

Then scholars all over the world rebelled angrily, and the phenomenon of Confucianism and literature disrupting the law appeared.

After the development of three dynasties, the status of scholars has undoubtedly become higher and higher.

Moreover, scholars value reputation the most, and they will not let go of any opportunity to make themselves famous throughout the ages.

If someone who deceives the world and steals their name uses their name or their book, they will definitely fight to death.

At this time, Emperor Jianwen turned to the eldest princess and asked calmly: "Xue'er, have you discussed it with the person who wrote the book?"

Zhao Xue hesitated for a long time, unable to explain the reason, so she could only look at Yang Xuanchen, "Well... you don't like the name of this bookstore?"

"Ok?"

Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu raised their eyebrows at the same time. What did their daughter mean by this?

Shouldn't you ask the person who wrote the book whether the three words "Mengpo Zhai" can be used? Why did you ask about Yang Xuanchen?

I'm blanching, no, is this kid Touye?

Yang Xuanchen's pupils shrank when she asked, "You silly girl next door to Mary, how can you ask such a thing now?"

It's over, my identity is exposed!

It’s okay for Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu to know. It doesn’t matter if one more eunuch under your command knows.

Damn you, even the maids and guards know about it now, and the news will spread all over the city tomorrow, how can you keep a low profile?

Just as he was thinking about how to respond, the eldest prince, a bigger boy, spoke up, "Pretty boy, the emperor is asking you, you should speak up."

Ouch, this kid must be the eldest prince. He looks like a noble concubine, but he is quite handsome.

It’s just that this mouth is not pleasing to the eye. What a pretty boy. Is this called handsome?

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it in his mouth. Yang Xuanchen saluted the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, I am not unhappy. What I mean is that you should not act arbitrarily in everything. You must pool your wisdom and listen to the opinions of others."

“Only by taking the essence and discarding the dross and avoiding the advantages and disadvantages can we achieve success.”

At this time, the eldest prince pointed at Yang Xuanchen and said, "Are you working for Sister Pope?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jianwen smacked the table next to him, "How outrageous!"

"Didn't Master teach you the truth about how to be a king when it is clear and why it is lost and dark?"

"Even my decision-making needs to listen to the opinions of all provinces and ministries. Where did Yang Xuanchen say something wrong?"

After preaching to the eldest prince for a few words, Emperor Jianwen asked Yang Xuanchen again: "I have something to ask you. What was your original intention in writing the Stone Chronicles?"

"Your Majesty, the scholars in Qingshui County made me very angry..."

Yang Xuanchen talked about it eloquently, mainly talking about educating the people, enriching their daily lives, and having fun.

One moment he was filled with righteous indignation, another moment he was serving the country and the people, and then he was beating his chest and feet. Anyway, the performance was very exciting, making Concubine Shu and Zhao Xue giggle.

Emperor Jianwen naturally saw the meaning, but his expression suddenly changed and became serious.

"The Story of the Stone has a total of one hundred and twenty chapters. When I first read this book, I just found the diction to be beautiful."

"However, after I read it carefully for the second time, I feel that this book has a deeper meaning. Can you explain it to me?"

Therefore, Emperor Jianwen raised several questions about Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu, and Jia Zheng based on the topic.

These questions made Yang Xuanchen break into a cold sweat. He glanced at Emperor Jianwen secretly, and then glanced at Concubine Shu.

However, at this time, Concubine Shu's eyes were burning and her expression was serious. It was obvious that she was more concerned about the issues raised by Emperor Jianwen.

The book "The Story of the Stone" would undoubtedly cause a stir in society if placed in this era.

It satirizes the luxury and debauchery of the nobles in feudal society, and exposes the corruption and decline of the ruling class.

This is a criticism of the entire society, criticizing official corruption, the imperial examination system, the marriage system, the hierarchy, etc.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen sweated even more on his back. If he couldn't answer these questions, or if he didn't answer well, he might have angered Emperor Jianwen and he would be beheaded.

Just when he was distracted, Zhao Xue spoke.

"Father, may I say a few words?"

Emperor Jianwen nodded. Regarding the questions he just raised, he not only wanted to see what Yang Xuanchen thought, but also wanted to see his daughter's understanding.

After all, the eldest princess has lived in Qingshui County for several months, and it is obvious that her style and temper have changed a lot.

If what he learns is good, then his eldest prince might consider changing his teacher.

Zhao Xue stood up and first gave a blessing to Emperor Jianwen, and then gave a student salute to Yang Xuanchen.

"Father, I believe that traditional ideas, etiquette, systems, etc., are blocking Dayan to death!"

"All of us live in a huge cage, where classes are solidified and power is concentrated."

Zhao Xue continued, her voice full of determination.

"If there is a sumptuous table of delicious food placed in front of everyone, and it is passed from top to bottom, the people at the top will have their mouths full of oil, while the people at the bottom may not even have any leftovers."

"Although what I saw and heard in Qingshui County is not a glimpse of everything, the happy smiles on the faces of the people made me think deeply."

"The most powerful person in Qingshui County is the teacher, followed by the county magistrate and the heads of each house, and then the government officials."

"However, starting from the teacher, everyone regards themselves as public servants, serving the people and benefiting the country."

"Erchen believes that we should break this huge prison and allow everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy the sumptuous meal."
