Chapter 438 The King Wants to Issue a Book

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded, turned around and gave instructions to the guards.

Immediately, there were more than a dozen personal guards, holding iron horns, and two of them entered the village and shouted.

The rest of the people ran to the south quickly.

There, not only are there glass sheds, but also more than 200 households scattered here and there, all of which need to be notified.

"Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who wants to go to the school to learn books, go to the book shop and get the books right now!"

"Everyone in Li Family Village listen carefully. Your Majesty has an order. Anyone who wants to go to the school to study books, after hearing this, go to the book making workshop to get the enlightenment books!"

"Everyone in the Li Family Village..."

Hearing the yelling of these guards, all the farmers who had been hiding in the house because of the cold, or stayed in the glass shed all the time, and all the farmers who had been guarding the shed all day came out quickly.

"Brother Li Kuo, the king's book-making workshop has really produced the enlightenment and mathematics books needed by the school?"

"Chang Ergen, you kid really didn't lie to the old man, the king's book shop really caused books to come?"

"Of course it's true. In the two houses next to the book making workshop, there are two rooms full of books neatly. This is what I saw with my own eyes!"

"This matter is ordered by the king. If you want to go to the school to learn to read, or if someone in your family goes to the school to learn to read, you should go to the king's bookstore to get the book as soon as possible!"

For these bewildered farmers, all the guards also understood.

If they hadn't seen the books in those two rooms with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

"That's right, since the king personally ordered it, books must be created!"

"It's just, how can so many books be made in the book making workshop?"

"Your Majesty is a disciple of the gods, a great sage in the world, with unpredictable abilities. How difficult is it to create a few books?"

"You don't want to dawdle, it's better to get the book first!"

"It's a pole, it's a pole!"

"A certain house will go first!"

With that said, some impatient people couldn't help but ran towards the book making workshop.

Seeing this, the group of people who were originally following behind and walking quickly couldn't help but started to run after them.

Soon, in the entire area of ​​Li Family Village, one after another farmers who wrapped themselves tightly could be seen coming out from various places, all running towards Li Family Village in one direction.

A quarter of an hour later.

Outside the book workshop.

Densely packed, standing full of crowds.

Everyone who came here and saw the two library with the door open couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and shocked.

"There are so many books!"

"How much does this have to be?"

"In this way, those little brats in the family are blessed..."

At this moment, feeling that it was almost time for someone to come, Li Xuan walked out of the house.

"I have seen the king!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also cupped his hands slightly, and then said loudly: "I don't know if there is anyone else who is suffering from hunger among the farmers?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The rice tanks in this villain's house are full, and there are all kinds of meat piled up, so they can fill you up!" All the farmers replied quickly.

"I don't know if you have cotton clothes to wear in the cold winter? You still live in a shabby hut, and you are freezing all day long?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Your Majesty is kind, the villains and others live in concrete houses, wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes, and burning an iron stove, which is warmer than summer!" All the farmers replied hastily.

As he spoke, he raised their hands, all wearing thick woolen gloves.

They dare to be very proud to affirm that unless there are noble families and rich people in the city, otherwise, in Datang, no one can dress better, live comfortably, and eat delicious food than them!

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and then continued: "The two hundred new households don't need to worry, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work in Li's Village, next year's life will definitely be very comfortable!"

"Thank you king!"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded again, "Seeing that everyone's life is going well, I feel very relieved!"

Then, thinking of something, he sighed again.

"Just, are you satisfied with living like this?"

Hearing this, all the dealers were taken aback.

However, Li Xuan didn't expect these farmers to ask him why, but continued.

"Not to mention anything else, you have lived for decades, facing the loess and back to the sky all day long, playing with these dozens of acres of land. However, you may accurately calculate how much food you can grow in a year? How much money can you make?"

"And how much of the money earned is yours, and how much of it was cheated and abducted by others?"

"Also, you can eat well and clothe yourself now, will you have a few more cubs?"

"To put it more worryingly, you have been bullied all your life because you can't read and write, and you can't calculate numbers. Is it possible that you still want those little brats like you to be treated like you when they grow up?" Like this, being bullied?"

"Besides, the house that this king is building for you now can only accommodate one family at most! In a few years, when those little bastards of you grow up, they will marry wives and have babies. Have you ever thought about them? Where do you live?..."

As time passed, all the farmers began to quiet down.

What Li Xuan said was not a big deal, it was a question that these farmers would slowly consider in the future.

"Dare to ask the king, how to solve it?"

An older farmer asked, clasping his hands.

"Study and read, learn skills, and earn money to build a house!" Li Xuan said directly.

"Everyone should also know that every one of the workshops in the Li Family Manor is a golden mountain that can continuously generate money. Moreover, in my mind, there are more ways to make money.

However, how many people can read and write in Datang?In particular, how many people are there who can do number arithmetic, calculate books, have a flexible mind, and are worthy of my king's trust? "

"This king has said a long time ago that as long as you can read three thousand characters, know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide hundreds of digits, and keep accounts, this king can give you all the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City. You wait to find a job, or open a shop.

So, why don't you earn more than ten pennies, or even dozens or even hundreds of pennies in a month? "

"In this way, why worry about not being able to earn money, build a house, wear clothes and eat enough?"

"Thank you king!"

Hearing this, all the dealers couldn't help but feel excited.

"You guys are so useless!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't bear it, and said another venomous sentence.

All the dealers could only giggle silly.

"You must know that reading and writing can not only make money. Most importantly, reading and writing can make you more capable! There are some things that I don't want to talk about, but no matter how prosperous the Tang Dynasty is, how wise your majesty is, people in the market Some of the villains in will exist.

I don't know if you have been persecuted by these lowly people.However, if you learn to read and write, become capable, and earn a lot of money, those lowly people will not dare to come and bully you, dare not force you to bully your sons and daughters, and become slaves..."

In an instant, all the farmers were silent, and some even gritted their teeth.

As the tenant farmers at the bottom of society, how come they haven't been bullied?
Even, bullying and prostitution are not unheard of.

It's just that they only bury their heads in farming all day long, and they don't know anything else.

When encountering those bullies, in order to survive, they can only swallow their anger!
