I want to ruin the country

Chapter 362: One Porridge and One Meal Should Be Reflected on Their Hard-Earned Values

Yining nodded.

"Your knowledge is not good enough, but it's been hard for you these past few months. You can continue learning in the future!"

Little Stone grinned happily and asked,

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let me go?"

Yining Road,

"It depends on whether your father and mother are willing to let you go!"

"They'll definitely want me to go!"

"why?"

"We are three brothers, and I am no match for you!"

Yining punched him.

"You kid, are there any parents who think they have too many sons?"

Little Stone stuck out his tongue.

"It's okay, my parents love their daughter!"

Yining glared at him.

"What nonsense! You loved your daughter so much that you sold Xiaoling?"

Yining presented the award certificates to the winners while wearing muddy clothes, and the winners also received the awards while wearing muddy clothes. Everyone smiled at each other and no one thought it was inappropriate!

The award ceremony was completed and Yining announced that

"Due to everyone's outstanding performance today, I have decided to reward everyone with one thousand taels of silver. This silver will serve as a special fund for drinks and fruits during the twenty-day holiday. Are you happy?"

"Happy!"

Yining shouted loudly,

"Why don't you go eat now? Dismiss, let's go!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Duck rush!"

More than two thousand students, both adults and children, all made a charging gesture, shouting happily as they ran towards the restaurant.

Suddenly, the campus was filled with laughter!

When we arrived at the restaurant door, Wang Yujin was waiting there. He said,

"Your Majesty, are you eating like this?"

"I rely on!"

Only then did Yining notice that he was wearing muddy clothes, and they were almost dry!

He said quickly,

"I forgot, go take a shower and change clothes first!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone was amused, not only him but there were more than thirty others, all covered in mud like him!

Yining and the others went to take a shower and change clothes.

The pair of clear eyes not far away were filled with smiles.

I thought to myself, he is only twenty years old. If he has the love of his parents, if he is not the emperor, he will still be a big-headed child!

Time has placed such a heavy burden on a child. God, don’t you feel sorry for him?

After Yining took a shower and changed his clothes, he came back and found that all four restaurants were silent and no one was eating.

"What's wrong? Why don't you eat?"

Stone's mother said,

"Everyone is waiting for the emperor!"

Yining Road,

"Why are you waiting for me? It's already past twelve o'clock. The children must be hungry. Come and eat!"

Wang Yujin said.

"Your Majesty, we haven't even discussed Zhu Xi's family precepts yet. Please start with something!"

Yining thought about it and realized that it was indeed the rule he had set. He said,

"Classmates, today is the last day of vacation. We should recite Zhu Xi's family precepts. I'll count one, two, three, and we'll start together!"

"One, two, three, start!"

The students recited in unison,

"Get up at dawn, sweep the yard,

Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by; every piece of cloth should be appreciated as it is not easily obtained.

It is advisable to take precautions before the rain, and not to dig wells when thirsty.

Utensils are simple and clean, and earthenware pots are better than gold and jade. Food and drink are simple but refined, and garden vegetables are more delicious than delicacies.

Although the ancestors are far away, the sacrifices must not be dishonest.

When trading with a porter, do not take advantage of him. When you see your poor relatives or neighbors, you must show compassion.

If you value wealth and neglect your parents, you are not a good son.

Those who fawn on the rich and powerful are the most shameful, and those who act arrogantly when they encounter the poor are the most despicable.

If you are eccentric and self-righteous, you will surely make many mistakes and regrets.

If you listen lightly to someone's words, how can you know that they are not slanderous? You should be patient and think twice.

When arguing over something, how can we know that it is not our fault? We must think calmly and think about it.

Don't think of the kindness you have shown, but don't forget the kindness you have received. Leave room for maneuver in everything, and don't go further when you are proud.

When others are happy, do not be jealous; when others are in trouble, do not be happy.

Good deeds done for the sake of being seen are not true goodness. Evil deeds done to the fear of being known are the greatest evil.

"To fight in adversity is what a hero does. To be tolerant when in power is what a gentleman does!"

This family precepts of Zhu Xi was simplified by Yining.

He removed some parts in the middle that were not suitable for children to read, and he even added the last two sentences himself!

After the recitation, everyone sat down to eat!

The staple food in the restaurant today is steamed buns, flatbreads and fragrant white rice.

Two dishes and a soup were also prepared. The two dishes were braised chicken and pork stewed with eggplant.

There are many soups, including tomato and egg soup, seaweed egg drop soup, dumpling soup, spicy soup, and hot and sour soup.

The Royal School now has four dining halls: one for kindergarten, one for grades one, two, and three, one for grades four and five, and one for grades six, seven, and eight.

Basically, each restaurant can accommodate about 500 people.

When Yining came here before, he always ate with classmates from grades 6, 7 and 8.

But today, he sat with a group of old gentlemen.

Seeing the emperor coming with food, a group of old Hanlin scholars stood up hurriedly.

Yining said with a smile,

"Don't be so formal. You've all been working so hard for months. I'm here to say goodbye to you. If you get up and fall down, I might as well not have come at all!"

Everyone knows the emperor for themselves. He is not just being polite. He is really annoyed by those conventional rituals, so he will no longer be pretentious!

Yining Road,

"Let's not sit there talking and not eating today. Let's talk now. I don't have much time!"

An old Hanlin named Wu Yun said,

"Your Majesty, I have a lot to say to you!"

"Don't report it, just say whatever you want!"

Wu Yun said,

"At first, I was extremely reluctant to teach these children, but after a few months, I don't want to leave anymore. I wish I could rest here every night!"

Yining asked knowingly,

"why!"

Wu Yun said,

"Here I am not teaching a student, it is the Emperor who is teaching me a lesson!"

Yining said with a smile,

"Really? What did you learn?"

Wu Yun said,

"The first fifty years of my humble life were wasted. Only in the past few months have I figured out what I should do with my life!"

Yining nodded. It was not pedantic for the old man to be able to think through these things!

Yining Road,

"When you have time, please write me a memorial with your thoughts. If I think it's a good idea, I'll publish it to the world!"

Wu Yun was so excited that the emperor didn't even know what he wanted to say before he told him to publish his memorial to the whole world. This was a great trust in him!

An old Hanlin named Li Qinglin beside him also said,

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, should all our schools educate children in this way?"

Yining sighed.

"I want to do this, but unfortunately there are not many people who can take on this responsibility now!"

Li Qinglin said,

"Your Majesty, if you trust me, please place me in a county to teach. I promise to teach my students according to your method!"

Yining laughed loudly.

"Li Hanlin, you are too narrow-minded. I want you to be teachers, not to teach students directly. I want you to train teachers!"

Wu Yun said,

"The Emperor is using us as seeds!"

Yining Road,

"That's what I mean. How many students can you teach if you are the only ones here? I want to make the Royal Academy a model school.

As long as you think it's okay, you can be responsible for training teachers in the future. That way you can get twice the result with half the effort!"
