Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2165 Promotion

"Bullshit, just bullshit."

Li Ji obviously wants to open up for Qin Tian.

But the method he said is simply fatal to those aristocratic families.

If all school-age children can read, then what advantage does their aristocratic family have in reading?
Then when these people take the imperial examinations in the future, they are afraid that their aristocratic families will decline, right?
In fact, they are very clear that the imperial examinations did affect some of their interests, but as long as the examination relies on reading, their aristocratic families can still benefit, because it is easy for their children to study, and those from poor families want to study. But it is very difficult.

Perhaps over time, the influence of the poor will slowly increase, but the increase is very slow, and it may take a hundred or two hundred years to see the effect.

But if all the children can read, it may not be ten years before the advantages of their aristocratic family will disappear.

This situation is definitely not what they want to see.

Therefore, after Li Ji stood up and said such words, some people immediately stood up.

"That's right, it's just nonsense. There are so many school-age children in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all sent to school. The burden of the court is heavy. Xiliang has few people. They can let people go to school for free, but the population of other places in the Tang Dynasty is so low. Let them go to school for free, which is much more money than we need to fight the war, this is impossible."

"That's right, this move will put a lot of pressure on me, Datang, no, no."

"That's right, Your Majesty, what we're talking about now is about Qin Tian's humiliation of scholars. Why did it involve education? Li Ji's heart is vicious."

"Your Majesty, please punish Qin Tian severely."

"........."

Everyone whispered about Qin Tian again, Li Shimin sat on it with a calm expression, no one knew what he was thinking.

However, when everyone was so noisy, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I think what Li Ji Aiqing said is justified. Education should not be neglected. If everyone can read and write, then my Tang Dynasty knows the meaning of etiquette, righteousness and shame." There will definitely be more people, so my Great Tang can be regarded as a truly powerful Great Tang, Xiliang has made a good start for my Great Tang, and we must pay attention to things like education."

Li Shimin couldn't be more clear about what those aristocratic families think, but Li Shimin must be thinking about the Tang Dynasty. He can't let the influence of the aristocratic families continue to expand in the court. As a prince, he is most afraid of such a family. , People like them can easily form cliques for personal gain. Once they are for their own family, they will not take Datang's interests into consideration.

If those poor families can study and enter the court more, then these aristocratic families will die out one day.

Once the big clans like them die out, maybe the court will be better?

At this time, Li Shimin directly ignored the matter of whether Qin Tian had humiliated the scholars. He felt that Qin Tian's poem was really good for promoting education.

People always have to do something for some benefit, so that they will be motivated. Reading, then tell them that reading can have a lot of things, so there will be many people who want to read, right?

Everyone wants to change their destiny, and reading is the best way to change their destiny.

"Your Majesty, no, this move will put great pressure on me, Datang."

"That's right, that's right, pressure, my lord, education costs money."

"........."

When everyone wanted to continue talking, Li Shimin suddenly patted the table and stood up: "Pressure? What kind of pressure can I have in Tang Dynasty? In a barren land like Xiliang, things like education are put aside." It is very important, but my Tang Dynasty ignored it. Do you think this is reasonable? There is no pressure on education, so that local officials set aside part of the money to set up education. Those whose families are poor but have children at home can go to school for free. Let them go to school. As for those with rich families, don’t worry about them. If they want to go to school, let them pay the tuition fee, or ask a private school teacher. If they go to school for free, follow Xiliang’s example and give them three years of free study Opportunities, after three years, choose the best."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he asked, "Is there any pressure to do this? Xiliang doesn't feel any pressure, but we, the rich lands, do feel pressure?"

Li Shimin was angry.

The officials of the DPRK and China looked at each other, and they were too frightened to speak.

When the emperor was angry, blood flowed like a river. If Li Shimin is determined to promote education, can they stop him?

As for Qin Tian's matter, there is nothing to say. Li Shimin followed Qin Tian's method to run education. If Qin Tian humiliated scholars, wouldn't that also mean that Li Shimin also humiliated scholars?

Everyone was silent. After seeing this situation, Li Shimin sat down again, and then said: "I will leave this matter to Changsun Aiqing. Aiqing must handle this matter beautifully. If Let me know that the officials in that place failed to faithfully implement the imperial court's arrangement, then I will never forgive you lightly."

This you, including local officials, also includes Changsun Wuji.

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but tremble. Did Li Shimin have other intentions in doing this? Did he know that today's impeachment was arranged by him?

He felt a little scared.

You know, Li Shimin's Jinyiwei is pervasive, and it is not impossible to find out some of his situation. If so, then he will be in danger next time.

If Jin Yiwei found out about this matter, Li Shimin might really take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to slack off, and quickly responded, "Here!"

After this matter is finished, the morning court is considered to be over.

The weather in Chang'an City was still hot, Cheng Yaojin stopped Li Ji after they left the palace.

"Let's go, let's have a drink. There's enough wine and beer. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

At this time, if Cheng Yaojin and the others didn't know what Li Ji meant, they would be too stupid.

Therefore, they wanted to thank Li Ji very much. When Li Ji saw them, he was not polite and said: "You said that, don't go to the restaurant and become stingy again."

"Is my old Cheng such a person? Don't underestimate me. Let's go."

A group of people walked excitedly, and when they walked, they couldn't help but think in their hearts, that kid Qin Tian is really courageous, so that the number of scholars in the entire Tang Dynasty suddenly increased like this.

I don't know if this is good or bad.
