Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 418 The storm is coming
In Chang'an City, there are quite a few scoundrels.

These lazy and lazy guys usually have nothing to do, eat, drink, play and sway the market.For these gangsters who think the law is nothing, ordinary low-level officials and ordinary people dare to be angry but dare not speak up, even if there is a censor who is not afraid of things, they have repeatedly impeached, but they have not changed their teachings, which makes everyone worry. Yet helpless...

If we talk about the most arrogant playboy in Chang'an City, it is recognized that Erlang, the servant of the Shangshu Zuo Shefang Xuanling, is the leader.Although this stickman did not do too many acts of bullying and dominating the market, he was so famous that he beat princes, kicked ministers, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in Chang'an City.

Although this guy usually never bullies the weak, but the officials of the cultural relics are full of resentment and do not bully the common people.
Looking at the Tang Dynasty, the only person who can subdue this son is the wise and powerful Li Er.

Since he was in command of the Shenji Camp, the son-in-law of Zaifu and the future emperor-in-law has rarely appeared in the market. One less calamity from now on.

After all, although other people such as Du He, Chai Lingwu, Li Siwen, etc. have never given up their great career, but these guys are worse than Fang Junlai, their faces are much lower, at least they don't dare to have the same temper as Fang Jun. Princes, nobles, or important officials in the court immediately confronted each other with fists and feet. After the fight, there was nothing to do, and there was not even a place to complain...

When Fang Jun led the Shenji camp to the west with the army, many people even secretly burned incense and worshipped Buddha at home, praying for the Buddha's gods to open their eyes and take away his scourge on the chaotic battle formation. ...

But things in the world always backfire.

This club not only enjoys living in the Western Regions, but also has repeatedly reported good news. Several times of sniping and turkish wolf riding have won great victories, and they have made great achievements. No one in the entire Tang Dynasty knows that there is another victorious man in the new generation. Invincible warrior.

Is there any reason for this?
Not only that.

Recently, Fang Jun's reputation has resounded in Guanzhong again, and he is almost a household name. His popularity has even surpassed Chen Guogong Hou Junji, who was thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple!

This time, it was not because Fang Er had beaten the prince and minister again, nor was His Majesty promoted him to the rank of Minister of Rites before he reached the weak crown, nor was it because of his impeachment of Hou Junji and his contempt for military discipline in the Western Regions, but because of one A book, an invention...

The Three Character Classic, a book that is said to be compiled for the enlightenment of young children, has long been circulated among officials and scholars, and has received very good reviews.But now, it has spread to every city in Guanzhong overnight, and everyone knows it in the streets and alleys.

The most shocking thing is that under the auspices of His Royal Highness the Prince, this book was printed in large quantities using a new type of printing technique in the printing bookshop of Hongwen Hall. The price of a single book is only ten cents!
What does this mean?

It means that this book is so cheap that even ordinary farmers can easily buy a copy and go back to enlighten children who have no money to go to school!

Extending from this, the "Three Character Classic" can be sold so cheaply, so what about the "Book of Songs"? What about "Historical Records"? What about "Shangshu"?

Can it be said that from now on, everyone in the world can afford to read books as long as they want to?
And this new type of printing technology, which greatly reduces the cost of books and doubles the printing speed, was also invented by Fang Jun...

For a time, all the students from the poor family raised their arms and shouted, beaming with laughter. They were grateful to Fang Jun for this move, and highly praised him!
The sword has two edges, some people are happy, some people are sad...

*****
Li Chengqian sat in the study of Hongwen Hall, sipping tea leisurely, and was in a good mood.

Kong Yingda sat down, stroked his beard, and sighed slightly: "From now on, this Fang Jun will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by those aristocratic families, and they all want to get rid of it and then hurry up!"

When he said this, Lao Confucius seemed to have forgotten that he belonged to the Confucian family. No matter how vicissitudes of life and changing dynasties, the emperors of all dynasties treated the Confucius family with courtesy and continued grace. That aristocratic family...

All dynasties and dynasties ruled the world with Confucianism, which created the status of Confucianism.

Li Chengqian sang the teacup, looked through the glass on the window, looked at the hot printing workshop in the courtyard, and sighed: "Who said no? Fang Er said something to Gu before, what is it called 'Technology is the greatest productivity', Gu did not understand, and he did not explain much, but now it seems that he taught Gu with facts. A new printing technique alone can reduce the cost of books from a few hundred to a dozen. It is said that That fellow is researching a new type of papermaking, and once successful, the cost of books will even drop to a few pennies! Who would dare to imagine that the price of books will one day be as cheap as wild vegetables and fruits in the market?"

Kong Yingda was also amazed. Who would have guessed that the boy who had been doing nothing for a whole day in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites would actually push all the aristocratic clans in the world up a cliff?
It is not so much that educational resources are monopolized by aristocratic clans, and reading is an unattainable luxury for the poor. It is better to say that the reason why the poor are blocked from reading is because of the cost.

The cost of reading!
A book costs a few hundred texts, and a teacher’s school requires several hundred texts. It takes at least ten years for a child to start from enlightenment and complete his studies. How much does it cost?Not to mention that since he is studying, he has to give up farming and wait for the family to reduce a strong labor force...

This one out and one in is enough to make a food and clothing home eventually go bankrupt!
It's not that the poor don't want to study, they can't afford it!
Kong Yingda sighed softly: "Your Majesty is determined to support the poor family to fight against the clan of the aristocratic family. I am afraid that as early as when the Zheng clan in Laiyang was put to death, he had already planned the steps to push the clan of the family into a desperate situation, but he also You can only watch, there is no other way."

He came from an aristocratic family, how could he not know how huge the impact on the aristocratic clan will be once the rise of the poor family, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shaking!Since Chen Ping's [-]th-grade Zhongzheng system to select officials, aristocratic clans have firmly occupied the world's resources. In all dynasties, officials were born in aristocratic clans.This is not only due to political connections such as blood, marriage, etc., which lead to prosperity and prosperity, and the education of the family members for future generations is also the top priority.

The children of the poor family are struggling to survive, how can they have time to study?
If you don’t read the Four Books and Five Classics, and don’t know economics and politics, even if you are given an official position, will you be able to be stable and continue to be?

But now, the glory of the aristocratic family will be gone forever!

This is also the reason why when the aristocratic clans and clans united, and the Zheng clan of Laiyang took the lead to boycott His Majesty Li Er.

It's just that they are defeated, and there is no room to turn around...

Kong Yingda, who is over [-] years old, is extremely talented and has already seen the world, and his excellent wisdom makes him know that the future of the family is only surviving.

Seeing the excited expression of His Royal Highness in front of him, Kong Yingda was also a little relieved at the reputation of sighing for the aristocratic family.

Obviously, both the "Three Character Classic" and this movable type printing technique are all means used by His Majesty to support the poor family and weaken the clan of aristocratic clans. It can make the outside rumored that the Prince has already lost his power to preside over the printing workshop, not His Royal Highness King Wei or others. A certain prince is enough to see His Majesty's thoughts of pushing His Royal Highness to the front desk.

Even if he didn't stabilize his position as a prince, he wouldn't easily regain his heart for easy storage.

"His Royal Highness has done all the hard work. You should keep your original intentions, be diligent in government and study, and don't let yourself fall into a state of impetuousness and disappoint Your Majesty. It is important to know that things in the world can never be repeated. Be vigilant."

Kong Yingda whispered softly and tirelessly taught.

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed, and bowed his head to be taught: "Students should follow the teacher's teaching, and set the absurdity of the past as a life-long warning, and never do it again." For a long time, whether it is Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, or Fang Xuanling, these fathers When he was absurd and arrogant, all the decrees from the East Palace appointed by the emperor were all heartbroken and persuaded repeatedly. Even when his reputation was at a low point, he never gave up and fell into trouble. How could Li Chengqian not remember this kindness? heart?
