The most arrogant in history

Chapter 658: Hygiene issues.

Ye Kun sighed and asked again: "As for the girl dropping out of school, didn't you try to find a way to persuade her parents?"

The principal replied in a low voice:

"We have done a lot of work, but parents are very stubborn. Now people are living and working in peace and contentment, and everyone is busy making money. Little girls in their teens can do a lot of things and can be considered half of the labor force."

Ye Kun frowned: "During the busy farming season in spring and autumn, don't we have ten days off?"

"In actual rural production, ten days of busy leave is far from enough."

The principal of the primary school plucked up his courage and said, "I think the court's arrangement of the semester is not very reasonable. Winter and summer vacations are exactly the slack seasons for farming. Children have time to study, but they are on vacation at home. Shortly after the start of the autumn semester, it is the busy farming season. Rural production is not busy, but children still have to go to school. It would be better if it were adjusted appropriately."

"That's right."

Ye Kun was slightly stunned.

They only know how to copy homework and bring over the models of later generations.

But I didn’t expect that the situations would be different in different historical periods.

Wen Axiu smiled and said, “Principal, if it were you who arranged the semester, how would you arrange it?”

The principal thought for a while and said: "We should discuss this in different places and arrange the students' holidays during the slack season according to the local production conditions, so that more children can complete their studies."

Ye Kun was very surprised that this principal had a broad perspective.

The principal added, "Winter and summer vacations are canceled. We have three or four holidays each year depending on production conditions. Add in the holidays during festivals and every ten days, and the total number of holidays for students is quite a lot."

Wen Axiu asked again: "What should we do in extremely cold or hot weather? The court arranges summer and winter vacations to avoid extreme weather and ensure the safety of students."

The principal pondered and said, "It is better to make flexible adjustments based on the actual situation. In our Yanzhou area, it is rare to have extremely hot weather in the summer. The extremely cold weather in the winter only lasts for ten days or half a month."

Ye Kun asked, "What's your name, principal?"

"Lü Yeliang."

"Principal Lu's suggestion can be considered."

Ye Kun had a good impression of this principal and said with a smile: "If Principal Lu is willing, please arrange the school work and follow me around to check the situation of schools in various places and give me some suggestions."

Lu Yeliang was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said, "As you wish."

Ye Kun walked down from the podium again to check the children's hygiene conditions.

Not ideal.

Many students smell of sweat.

There are also many students who have lice in their hair.

Ye Kun returned to the podium, looked at the students, and asked, "Dear students, do you know the meaning of the poem "Shuo Shu" that we just read?"

A little girl, who looked about ten years old, raised her hand boldly.

Ye Kun nodded: "Female student, please answer."

The little girl stood up and said:

"Shuo Shuo doesn't refer to real rats, but to the rich and powerful. These people don't work, but they eat well, wear well, and use things well. They are just like rats, stealing and robbing our things, which is very hateful."

Song Kai, the principal and the teacher on the side all looked embarrassed and scared.

The annotation in the book does say this.

But for Song Kai, it is very embarrassing because he is also a member of the rat class.

Ye Kun nodded and smiled: "This student's answer is very good. So, is there anything you don't understand?"

The little girl thought for a moment and asked seriously, "The book says that officials who don't work are all rats. But I don't understand, is the emperor considered a rat?"

Suddenly, Song Kai and the principal's faces turned pale.

Ye Kun waved his hand, asking Song Kai and others to keep quiet, and said to the little girl:

"If the emperor works hard, thinks about the people, and lets them live a good life, he is not a rat. If the emperor does nothing and only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun, he is the biggest rat, the enemy and foe of the people.

If we encounter such a rat emperor, we should not hesitate to rebel and overthrow him! "

The little girl seemed to understand, and asked Ye Kun again: "Teacher Ye, what do you think about our current emperor? Is he good?"

Ye Kun smiled and asked back: "I don't know, what do you think of the current emperor Ye Kun, is he good?"

"My parents both said that the current emperor is the best. He built houses for us, distributed land to us, and allowed our children to go to school for free."

The little girl thought for a moment and then said, "My parents also said that if the current emperor died, they would cry for three days and three nights."

Ye Kun couldn't help laughing and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, classmate. When I see Emperor Ye Kun next time, I will definitely tell him about your words. He will definitely be very happy to hear it."

Wen Axiu couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed.

Lu Yeliang was very scared and whispered, "Your Majesty, boys are ignorant..."

"Children's words are the most authentic voice of the people. I came here to listen to the authentic voice of the people."

Ye Kun nodded and said to the teacher: "The little girl just now is very good and smart. You must treat her well and not punish her for what she said just now."

The teacher nodded.

Ye Kun announced that each student in the class, including the teacher, would be rewarded with a coin.

The students were all happy and expressed their gratitude together.

Ye Kun asked the teacher to continue the class while he called the principal and went to the office.

Lu Yeliang breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists and said:

"It is said that the emperor is approachable, cares about the people, and is very tolerant of the people's words and deeds. I dare to believe it after seeing it today. If it was the emperor in the past, the little girl just now..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "The first emperor of the previous dynasty was very harsh in governing the country. He burned books and buried scholars alive. When the common people met, they dared not speak. They could only communicate with their eyes. In the end, he was overthrown and died in the second generation.

Therefore, we in the Han Dynasty do not do that. I have said long ago that no one should be convicted for speech. The people can say whatever they want. If I do not do well, you can scold me. "

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Lu Yeliang clasped his fists and said, "In the past, there were emperors who changed their names and chose uncommon characters to make it easier for the people to avoid offending the emperor's name. But now, the emperor has directly abolished the taboo of the emperor's name, which is better than the wise rulers of previous generations!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "That's right. There is no need to avoid my name. It is not a sin to call it by its name. Even if you name your cat, dog, duck or chicken at home Kun, it is fine. Names are just symbols to distinguish people from each other. There is no need to be so particular about them."

After ascending the throne, Ye Kun announced that no one in the world would need to avoid using his name.

Anyone can be named Kun.

But now it seems that there are basically no people named Kun.

Ordinary people are still afraid.

Lu Yeliang smiled awkwardly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think there are any areas where the school work is not done well?"

"Oh, hygiene is a big problem." Ye Kun nodded and sighed:

"I see many students with dirty clothes, dirty hands and lice on their heads. If they continue like this, they will get sick. We have been doing hygiene promotion work for many years, so why is it still like this?"

What he just saw made Ye Kun very worried.

The population will increase dramatically in the future, and if sanitation is not maintained, there will inevitably be major epidemics.

Lu Yeliang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the hygiene problem of the people has been around for a long time. If the parents of the children don't pay attention to hygiene, how can the students be so clean? There are lice on the head, there is nothing we can do, we have long hair, and we can't wash our hair frequently..."

"Don't make excuses. I am not satisfied with this answer." Ye Kun frowned:

"I suggest all men to keep their hair short and shave their beards. But you don't listen and insist that your hair and skin are from your parents. As a result, your hair smells sour and is crawling with lice, which scratch your scalp until it bleeds.

If this sanitary condition does not change, there will be a major plague sooner or later, taking away countless lives! "
