Vol 2 Chapter 1026: Liu Yu's marriage

Liu Yu's mood was a bit heavy, so his tone became cold.
He expressed his own voice and opinions, "The remaining 20% ​​of officials are half of the wealthy children who have just started the family. After several generations of business, the family has saved money, and finally has the financial resources to train a scholar. The family structure, Is gradually taking shape.
Only less than 10% of officials come from a small family. They are helpless on the way to school and rely on their personal intelligence to fight for them. However, these people who have no foundation will find it difficult to be reused when they enter the court, and they will do nothing throughout their lives. Fortunately, the local situation is better than the court. "
Gu Jiu understood his thoughts, "So you want to change the status quo through education?"
Liu Yu was silent for a moment. "My son doesn't know if he can change the status quo, but at least it can provide more opportunities for the poor children and give them more choices. If you can find a few talented people in the process, it is worthwhile. Up!"
Gu Jiu reminded him, "You have to admit that the scholars of officials are indeed superior to those of the poor."
"The son naturally understands this. The reason why the children of officials and eunuchs have priority over the poor are because they have won by their background.
"You can't deny that the children of officials and eunuchs are also very hard at school. If you can take the imperial examination and fought hard from thousands of troops, no one can easily win the competition. Everyone has tried their best. You can't be because of the officials. When children enjoy more educational resources, they deny their talents and hard work. When looking at things, you must not be biased."
"The son understands the meaning of the queen. The son has no prejudice against the officials. After all, the son is enjoying the best resources in the world. The son just wants to give the poor children more opportunities."
Gu Jiu nodded approvingly, "You were enlightened at the age of three, and when you were young, you started reading at night every day. In addition to completing the homework assigned by your husband, you also have to read a lot of books, complete extra homework, and learn martial arts. Your hard work, the queen has been watching In the eyes.
Students in the world, study hard, you never slack off for a day. In the world, officials and eunuchs who study hard like you do not know where they are. To ensure the long-term wealth of the family means that every generation must work hard. Otherwise, they will be chased and surpassed by rising stars, and they will become a ruined settlement.
While you are creating opportunities for poor children, you can't completely shut out officials and eunuchs. You should have a deep understanding of the school-running attitude of Shanhe Academy. Among the students, there are rich, poor, officials, and even the children of noble military generals. The academy treats them equally, and everything depends on grades.
There is a certain degree of unfairness in any selection method. Speaking by grades, there are also unfair places, but it is by far the fairest selection method. Everyone has opportunities, and they can get them by their own ability. "
Liu Yu frowned and seemed to have a different idea.
Gu Jiu smiled, "You want to say that the starting line is different. Under the same opportunity, the poor disciples can't get ahead, right?"
Liu Yu nodded, "My son thought that he should give the poor children more opportunities."
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea and solemnly said: "Free school is an opportunity for poor children. Whether you can seize this opportunity and whether you are eligible to compete with the officials on the same starting line in the future is up to them.
My palace has said so much to you, but in the final analysis there is only one sentence, don't interfere too much. After creating conditions for the poor children to study, you should not continue to stretch out your hands for the rest. Let him develop and adjust himself, and don't underestimate the wisdom of everyone. "
Liu Yu frowned thoughtfully.
"Does the queen think that her son's thoughts on education are suspected of stretching her hands too long?"
Gu Jiu did not deny, "From your words, this palace feels that you want to do everything in a big way. This palace has always opposed this way of doing things in a big way. Facts have proved that the ultimate result of this method is death. At the beginning, there was no room for other people to play. When you leave, how can you expect someone to continue your ideas and continue to do it?" "The queen is always willing to give the people around her a chance to practice, is it because the queen believes in them? "
"Knowing people and doing good job is a kind of ability, you have to learn this ability. In the world, there are no one hundred thousand employees, and there are tens of thousands of people. It is impossible for this palace to know everyone, and there is no way to build trust with everyone. What to do? What this palace has to do is to delegate power and let those who have the ability to be alone."
Liu Yu took a deep breath, "Thank you for your mother's teaching. Today's conversation with her mother made her son realize that there are still many shortcomings."
Gu Jiu said: "Your shortcomings are that you have no experience in civil affairs, have not led a team, and have not handled specific government affairs. Experience can make up for your shortcomings."
Liu Yu said immediately: "So my son wanted to find a place to run a free school to get some experience."
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, "If you want to understand people's livelihood and experience, this palace has a small suggestion."
"Please teach me from the queen."
"Sihai butcher shop, do you know what it does?"
"Son knows roughly."
"Would you like to go to the Sihai meat and vegetable shop? Every day you go to the village and go directly to the countryside, so that you can intuitively understand the difficulties of the people's livelihood. After that, if you still insist on running a school, this palace will never stop you."
Liu Yu hesitated, "Is it in the capital?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Of course it's not the capital. You can choose the three places: Lingnan, Southwest, and Northwest. The time is tentatively set for six months to one year. Would you like it?"
After consideration, Liu Yu focused his head, "My son is willing, and my son wants to choose Southwest."
"It just so happens that your uncle is also training soldiers there. You can go to him to eat dinner if you have the opportunity."
Gu Jiu was very happy.
Immediately afterwards, she said: "Before you leave Beijing, you have to settle your marriage. The garden party has passed so many days, my palace hasn't asked you, who do you like?"
Liu Yu was a little embarrassed, "Can you wait for his son to return from experience before discussing marriage?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "That won't work. When you come back from experience, most of the beauties of the right age in the capital are already married or married. When you want to choose, people are not happy yet."
Liu Yu lowered his head and smiled, "Well, my son is willing to make a marriage appointment."
"Oh? So, you already have a girl you like? Tell this palace, whose girl is in your eyes."
Gu Jiu looked excited. She is not so much concerned about her son's marriage as she is gossiping about his son's emotional life.
Liu Yu turned out the roster of ladies.
With the skill of the painter in Shaofu, the appearance and characteristics of each lady are almost faithfully presented on the album.
What it looks like, whether it is beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, is clear at a glance.
He took the picture album and kept flipping back, flipping back...
Gu Jiu has a heart that goes up and down.
If she remembers correctly, most of the fronts in the album are girls from the family of honorable ministers.
Most of the girls behind are officials from the official family.
Flipping, turning, turning to the two-thirds position, Liu Yu took a pause, pointed at the girl in the picture album, and said: "My son thinks she is good."
Who is this she?
Gu Jiu looked at the picture album.
Huh?
"Does the queen disagree?"
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, with a surprised tone, "You actually fell in love with Sun Zhuangyuan's granddaughter?"
"My son only knows that she is a girl from the Sun family, but he does not know that she is actually Mr. Sun's granddaughter." Liu Yu himself was also surprised.
Gu Jiu laughed, "This girl has been seen in my palace, she is a nice girl. I didn't expect you to fall into her."
"There is a poem and book in her belly, but she is not pedantic, and she will not groan without illness, a very thoughtful girl. Her son thinks she is good."
Gu Jiu said gossiping: "How do you know that she is not pedantic? Have you spoken to her?"
Liu Yu pointed to his ear, "My son was a little touched when she talked to others."
Oh!
This is very rare!
Gu Jiu picked up the picture book and looked at the portrait carefully, "A young girl who looks very good, and her age is also suitable. You chose her, but because her surname is grandson? Have you ever thought about Prince Ren Xuan's princess, Chu Wang’s biological mother also came from the Sun’s family and was still the granddaughter of the Sun’s family. This granddaughter is the granddaughter of the Sun Zhuangyuan, and is considered to be a member of the Sun’s family’s third house. You know."
Liu Yu nodded, "The internal conflicts in the Sun family have been heard by my son. My son chose her because of her surname Sun. But she also made her son have a good impression. If she does not have a good impression, even if she is surnamed Sun, the son will Won't choose her."
Gu Jiu knew clearly, "Are there anyone else besides her?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "She is the only one."
"You should know that the Sun family is a great family in the world. It has been rich for hundreds of years and served no less than ten emperors. This means that if you marry the Sun family girl, you can certainly get the support of the Sun family, but At the same time, it will also be dragged down by the Sun family. One day, the Sun Jiawei will not fall, and it has hindered the imperial power. What are you going to do?"
Liu Yu frowned, "The son intends to talk to the emperor. If the son marries the Sun family girl, the Sun family elder generation will have to withdraw from the court. The Sun family can only have two generations at most and serve in the court at the same time. "
"This method is not enough. Your father and I can limit the expansion of the Sun family. What about you, what effective way do you have to limit the expansion of the Sun family? It is a multi-generation family of tens of thousands of people, and it has a reputation. The position of the literary world is as solid as a rock, and there are always ways to extend its tentacles to all fields."
"Mother, please teach me!" Liu Yu solemnly pleaded.
Gu Jiu tapped the table lightly, "The only effective way to limit the Sun family is to divide the family. Split a large family that is in a hug into countless small clans, and make sacrifices."
Liu Yu was shocked, "Forcing the Sun family to split up?"
Gu Jiu nodded his head, "Whether it is from the Beisun family or the Nanzhou family, I and your father have the same idea. We cannot tolerate their continued expansion and must be restricted."
Liu Yu said affirmatively: "The Sun family will not agree, they are willing to give up this marriage."
"So the key is Sun Zhuangyuan!"
