Chapter 624 The Power of Example
Chapter 624 The Power of Role Model
Qiao Hong nodded with relief when she heard the children's words:
"Good boy, you can even understand Daming Daily, which is amazing."
The children laughed innocently:
"Sister, we are all studying, so of course we can understand the Daming Daily. Now, children as old as us, almost all boys and girls are going to school."
In ancient times, rural girls would help their homes work, but it was almost impossible to study.
The girls in the city cannot show off their faces at will, and they are all wrapped in small feet, which is just three-inch golden lotus.
All of this is slowly changing now. Wars and famines have led to a sharp decline in the population of the Ming Dynasty. In order to develop rapidly, restoring the population is the top priority.
After the commercial tax reform, Zhu Youjian formulated a population recovery and gradually entered the industrial plan.
No matter what family girls have to go to school, at least they must recognize common words.
The girl was about fifteen years old, and the court encouraged them to marry and have children. They got married before the age of fifteen. If they became pregnant and had children, the court would give them two dragon coins.
Boys still need to continue reading when they are good at studying or studying well.
Those boys who have no interest in reading, who are unwilling to study after knowing a certain number of words, can choose to work in the factory to make money.
The industrial development momentum of the southern Ming Dynasty was very good. Textile factories, clothing factories, porcelain kilns, glass manufacturing and various handicraft products were blooming everywhere, as well as agricultural planting, mainly fruits and tea.
The northern aquaculture industry, paper mills, pure natural soap manufacturing and shampoo manufacturing are also developing, and these all require workers.
In order to give the heroines of the Ming Dynasty a place to use their skills, the court made relevant regulations on this.
If women and girls at home want to come out to work, no family or family may stop or interfere.
Otherwise, if you are suspected of violating the law, you will be punished with restricted personal freedom or fined.
In this regard, the emperor is a good example. The three princesses of the Ming Dynasty also appeared in public and ran the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
In nearly two years, the culture of ordinary families and children in the Ming Dynasty has almost reached the third grade level of primary school and mathematics has reached the second grade of primary school.
However, this is enough for ordinary families of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, they could not even solve the problem of food and clothing, and of course they did not have enough money to go to school. Studying was a luxury for their family.
Qiao Hong reached out and touched a fat boy's head and smiled:
"It's amazing. I can read the big daily newspaper and my family listened to it. My sister wants to know who taught you the national anthem?"
The little fat man looked at his beautiful sister and said without any hesitation:
"Mr. teaches me, every school is the same and must be able to sing the national anthem."
"Oh, so that's it."
Qiao Hong finally understood that singing the national anthem is a task that every school must complete. No wonder children can sing the national anthem.
After interviewing the child, Qiao Hong turned her goal to a middle-aged man:
"Uncle, I am a reporter from Daming Daily. I want to interview you now. How do you think of the scene in front of you?"
The uncle said firmly:
"I'm proud, I suddenly have the urge to go into battle to kill the enemy. The national anthem is so powerful. Let's look at our triumphant soldiers. They are not only our local guardian gods, but also the guardian gods of the entire Chinese nation. I'll let my son join the army tomorrow."
"We also want to send our son to the army. I heard that the Ming Dynasty has not only treated the right time, but also suffered small casualties. If we perform well enough, we may become a viscount!"
"That's right, we will let our son join the army when we go back. If we do what you said, if our son makes meritorious service and is awarded a title, it will be a glorious family."
...
When he heard the uncle say he wanted to send his son to join the army, several middle-aged men standing next to Qiao Hong wanted to send his son to join the army.
Qiao Hong took out a notebook and carefully wrote down the uncles' words in the notebook. As a reporter from Daming Daily, Qiao Hong certainly knew that Daming recruited soldiers every year.
She is preparing to increase the publicity of recruitment and strive to allow more young people to join the army and serve the country. This is also what the Ming official media should do.
After Qiao Hong interviewed a few girls, she left the crowd. She wanted to find a few soldiers to interview them, and it would be best if she could meet the general.
Sometimes I am rejected when I interviewed military soldiers, and I will not be able to enter the military camp.
When the imperial court usually issues announcements, a special person will send the manuscripts to the Ming Dynasty newspaper, and generally will not accept interviews.
Qiao Hong was preparing to find an opportunity to get into the team and quietly interviewed several soldiers who had just returned from overseas.
Listening to their experience of fighting overseas, she believes that the people like to read such newspapers very much.
The triumphant success of the army and Zhu Ciyang returned to the capital was a huge joy for the ministers. Under normal circumstances, a banquet should be held to celebrate.
After the army entered the city, the soldiers returned to the barracks to rest, and the generals rushed home to reunite with their families as soon as possible.
Especially a group of young generals, who have not touched women for so long, have long been unable to control themselves.
When they entered the imperial city, the ministers surrounded Zhu Cilang and refused to leave for a long time. They all wanted to hear what the prince had experienced and the process of overseas wars.
As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, Sun Chuanting was preparing to apply to Zhu Cilang to hold a banquet to celebrate the ceremony, and to welcome the prince.
Seeing that the ministers were not far away, Zhu Cilang knew what they were thinking, but he was unwilling to show off his experience with King Ding, and waved his hands to the ministers:
"You all work hard every day. It's getting late now. Please come back!"
Sun Chuanting stepped forward and bowed and said:
"Your Highness returns and wins overseas wars. We should hold a banquet to welcome His Highness to celebrate the triumphant victory overseas."
Zhu Youjian could understand the mood of the ministers. When he entered the imperial city, he remembered his mother and was really not in the mood to celebrate. Besides, the father had not come back yet, so what did they celebrate?
Since the chief minister of the cabinet spoke, Zhu Cilang could not refuse at once. He smiled and said:
"Sir, can I understand your mood? Let's wait for the emperor's triumph and celebrate with all the civil and military officials in the court! Mr. Sun, what do you think?"
Zhu Cilang said this, what else can Sun Chuanting say? Say goodbye immediately:
"Okay, let's do as your Highness's instructions and wait for the Lord to come back to celebrate together. I will leave."
After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he waved to his ministers:
"Dear colleagues, Your Highness said that when the Lord celebrates triumphantly, please come back!"
"Thank you, I will leave."
Under the leadership of Sun Chuanting, a group of civil and military ministers quickly disappeared beside Zhu Cilang.
After seeing the ministers leaving, Zhu Cilang was left with only three princesses and the old eunuch Wang Chengen, and he suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Cilang called Princess Kunxing:
"Three emperor sisters should accompany the emperor brother for a walk. The emperor brother is going to go to the East Palace first. After leaving for so long, the Eastern Palace is probably very dilapidated.
Kunxing stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Cilang's arm and began to act coquettishly:
"Don't worry, brother, there are special people cleaning and tidying up the East Palace of the Prince every day. What's going on when you leave? It's like this now. The emperor wants you to accompany us to have a meal together."
