"Daddy."

Zhao Chen's voice came from behind.

"What's the matter?"

"Lunch is ready."

Zhao Ning said to Zhu Lian: "Let's go, let's eat first."

Zhu Lian said: "The officials and concubines have one more thing to ask of me."

"What's the matter?"

"Fengying has been widowed and all alone. Can the officials include her in the harem?"

Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, Fengying?

Seeing that Zhao Ning was a little unresponsive, Zhu Lian said: "My concubine's sister."

"Oh, I remembered it."

Incorporated into the harem?

This won't work!

After killing Zhao Kai, you still want to seize his wife?

This is a bit unreasonable.

He never claims to be a good person, but this kind of thing is always not good.

"It might be inappropriate to include her in the harem, but you can find a good family for her."

Zhao Ning knew that Zhu Lian wanted to see his sister often, so he continued: "If you miss her, you can often declare her to the palace to reminisce about the past."

"That's all."

After everyone took their seats, Zhao Ning saw little Princess Roujia sitting next to Qian Jinshu, talking and laughing.

Zhao Ning asked: "Roujia, what are you talking about, why are you so happy?"

Roujia said: "Dad, I was asking my mother about going to sea. She said that many people in Hangzhou go to sea and there are many magical things outside the sea."

"Oh, you do have a heart."

"Dad, when I grow up, can I go to sea?" Roujia tilted her little head and asked curiously.

She is nine years old, looks like Zhu Lian, as delicate and delicate, with skin as white as jade, a pair of big eyes, gentle and soft.

"You want to go to sea?"

"think!"

Zhao Ning said: "Okay, when you grow up, you will go to sea."

"Thank you, dad. Then don't I have to go to Shibosi to stay for two years?"

"Do you still know about Shibo Division?"

"That's what my little lady told me."

Qian Jinshu smiled and said: "Roujia is very smart and can make sense of everything she says."

"I know a lot, I want to sleep with you tonight, and I want to listen to her tell stories."

Zhu Lian smiled dotingly and said: "Roujia, I have just entered the palace, so don't cause trouble to me."

"It doesn't matter, I like Roujia too."

The two women were modest there, but Zhao Ning sighed in her heart: Roujia, stop making trouble! If you sleep with your little mother, where will your father and I sleep?

The maid brought lunch and poured wine.

Zhao Ning suddenly changed the topic. He looked at Zhao Chen and said, "How is Chen'er studying today?"

"To tell you what my father is saying, I recently finished reading his book "On the Boat People"."

Zhao Ning became interested and said, "Oh, tell me."

Zhao Chen said: "The people are more valuable than the king, and the country is second. The people are like water, and the king is like a boat. If the king is wise, the boat will not be able to move. If the king is wise, the boat will travel across the four seas, even if the wind is strong and the waves are strong..."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Ning interrupted Zhao Chen.

"Dad, what's wrong with the baby?"

"I remember that my "On the Boat People" was written in vernacular."

"Indeed."

"Then you speak in vernacular. Remember, it is the common people who are enlightened by new learning. There are hundreds of millions of people in the Song Dynasty today. Only by vigorously promoting vernacular can it be quickly circulated among the people."

Zhao Chen said: "But knowledge is the art of saints. If everyone knows it, how can we show the nobility of knowledge?"

Zhao Ning couldn't help but frown and said, "Is there any distinction between high and low in knowledge?"

"What I mean is, the learning of saints..."

"What I want you to talk about now is "The Theory of Boat People", not the study of saints."

"Chen'er, if dad asks you to talk about "The Theory of Boat People", just say it and don't talk about anything else," Zhu Lian reminded.

Zhao Chen nodded and said: "The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is last. The people are like the water in rivers and seas, and the king is a huge ship, and the ship is carried by the water.

Without water, the ship has no meaning of existence. If the person at the helm is ignorant, the ship will not know where to sail, and it is easy to encounter rocks and undercurrents, and may sink the ship in rivers and seas. If the person at the helm is wise, the ship will be able to follow the predetermined trajectory.

, step by step towards the distant destination.”

"The country is the four seas. The water can lift the boat, or there can be huge waves that sink the boat. If the boat sinks, but the water is still there, it means that the king is gone, the people are still there, and the country will also be there."

"So, we must treat the people well, so that the world can be peaceful."

After Zhao Chen said this, Zhao Ning couldn't help but nodded, and asked: "How can we treat people well?"

Zhao Chen then replied: "Most of the civil turmoil from ancient times to the present has been caused by officials. The powerful are corrupt and have selfish desires and prey on the people, which makes the world excited. If the officials can be made upright and upright, the world will have long-term peace and stability."

Zhao Ning asked again: "How to make officials honest and upright?"

Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "Educate officials with the teachings of saints, so that officials can abide by their conduct and adhere to morality, then they will be honest and honest."

"anything else?"

"there is none left."

"there is none left?"

Roujia on the side said quickly: "I know, daddy, I know."

Zhao Ning looked at Rou Jia curiously and said, "Do you know?"

Roujia said seriously: "Let the people have the responsibility and power to supervise the officials, and use newspapers to build a bridge between the two."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Who told you this?"

"Mr. Yuzhang."

The Mr. Yuzhang she was talking about was Luo Congyan.

Zhao Ning called Rou Jia over, and Rou Jia came over and sat next to Zhao Ning, blinking with big eyes.

Zhao Ning stroked her long black and smooth hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "You are already attending Mr. Yu Zhang's class at a young age?"

"I went to listen to it several times."

"Then do you think Mr. Yuzhang is right?"

"Maybe that's right."

"Oh, why do you say it's possible?"

"Didn't I just say that? Everything is changing. Maybe one day what Mr. Yuzhang said will be wrong."

Zhao Ning laughed, but he looked at this little princess in a different light.

In the past few years, he has been busy with state affairs and basically has no time to sit down and chat with these children.

Although they were born before he traveled through time, they are still his children in name only. Blood is thicker than water.

Qian Jinshu said quickly: "I just told Roujia an example of a private businessman in Hangzhou, but I didn't expect that she would use it immediately."

Zhao Chen said: "Dad, the Holy Doctrine is based on benevolence, propriety, trust, and righteousness. This is the way to govern a country..."

"Okay, let's stop here and eat."

"Daddy..."

"Eat, don't delay your mother's meal, her body and bones haven't recovered yet."

"yes."

Only then did Zhao Chen retreat.

Zhao Ning didn't think much about it. Since it was time to spend time with his family, he shouldn't talk about unhappy things.
