Man Tanghong

Chapter 828 There are two different things
The war between Jieli and Sunis was on the 'right track', and Li Yuanji started to solve the remaining problems.

On a sunset evening, Li Yuanji met Li Gaoqian in the Tanshan Cultural Museum.

Since Li Gaoqian had been hiding in the dark, not many people knew that he had arrived in Chang'an City, so if he wanted to see Li Gaoqian, he had to do it secretly.

It is the most suitable excuse to meet Li Gaoqian in the Tanshan Cultural Center on the grounds of inspecting the teaching achievements of the Tanshan Cultural Center.

At least that's what Dou Dan, the new director of the Tanshan Cultural Museum, thinks.

Ever since Li Yuan retired and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin collapsed one after another, Dou Dan became very low-key. Not only did he voluntarily resign from all official positions in the palace, but he also took the initiative to go to the Tanshan Wenguan as the head of the mountain.

Now in the Tanshan Wenguan, besides Di Xiaoxu, he has the highest official position and status.

After receiving a lesson from Li Yuan in the palace because of water transportation and sea transportation, he became more low-key. Except for seeing him in Tanshan Wenguan, he was not seen in other places on weekdays.

When Li Yuanji arrived at the Tanshan Wenguan with a group of followers, he saw him wearing a long white gown, standing there with a smile, beside him were Di Xiaoxu, Xue Wanbei and other teachers.

When Xue Wanbei was working as a teaching assistant for Di Xiaoxu, he learned a lot from Di Xiaoxu, and also asked for advice from other great Confucians in the Tanshan Cultural Center. Now he has finally learned something, and Di Xiaoxu uses him very easily. , so he was left in the Tanshan Cultural Center and asked him to be a teacher of a subject.

Although the instructors in the Tanshan Cultural Center are not high-ranking officials, and the highest is not higher than the fifth grade, their social status is frighteningly high.

After all, those who can come to the Tanshan Wenguan are all famous Confucianists with surnames in the Tang Dynasty, and they teach a bunch of relatives of the emperor.

With a reputation in the Shilin and a group of disciples of the second generation of Ziquan, no one dared to neglect them after they left.

Therefore, although Xue Wanbei's current official position is not high, and there is no possibility of promotion in a short period of time, his background and foundation are getting stronger and stronger.

After leaving the Tanshan Cultural Museum in the future, I will surely be able to make great strides.

"Chen Dou's Birthday..."

"Chen Di Xiaoxu..."

"..."

"Sir Xue Wanbei..."

"See His Royal Highness King Yong!"

When Li Yuanji walked to the gate of the Tanshan Cultural Center, Dou Dan took the initiative to salute.

Li Yuanji nodded, and encouraged him: "You don't need to be too polite. You have cultivated talents for our Great Tang. It can be said that you have worked hard. I have ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare rewards, and I will send them to you later."

When Dou Dan and the others heard that it was good to take, they were all beaming, only a few of them were relatively noble, and they didn't pretend to be serious about it.

However, Li Yuanji didn't care about it. Literati, to put it nicely, he has arrogance; Savage got it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, please come inside, Your Highness."

After Dou Dan thanked him cheerfully, he led Li Yuanji to the Tanshan Cultural Museum, and explained to Li Yuanji all the buildings and scenery in the Tanshan Cultural Museum, as well as the uniqueness in these buildings and scenery. Funny things that happened.

For example, when the prisoner was building the Tanshan Cultural Museum, in order to facilitate the teachers in the museum to get water, he opened a waterway from the Jiulongtan at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain and brought a stream of running water into the museum.

The running water made a circle in the library in the library and flowed into the center of the library, forming a pond for teachers to take water for washing.

A certain descendant of Xiangyi county king who did not want to be named, after being beaten up by the instructors, was outraged, and together with a certain descendant of Changsha princess who did not want to be named, and a certain Xinxing County king's step-son who did not want to be named, I poured a whole bucket of boy's urine into the canal in the library, which made the teachers in the library sick for several days.

The culprit was hanged up by a son-in-law who did not want to be named, beat a board, and played the evil thing several times.

When Dou Dan told this as a joke, a large group of people laughed, even the teachers of Tanshan Cultural Center who knew the whole process long ago burst into laughter.

While laughing, Di Xiaoxu looked at Dou Dan and joked, "You are just a bad joke."

Dou Dan retorted bluntly: "How could I be a bad taste? I was teaching them how to behave."

Di Xiaoxu shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't say any more.

Now in the Tanshan Cultural Museum, he is the only one who can barely chat with Dou Dan, who can talk to Dou Dan on a relatively equal basis without being afraid of Dou Dan's identity.

Although the other instructors are all very knowledgeable, their status is more than a little bit behind Dou Dan, and they can't hold their breath in front of Dou Dan.

It was Xue Wanbei who was barely able to talk to Dou Dan, but that was thanks to his four elder brothers, and his own status was not enough to get along with Dou Dan on an equal footing.

Talking, laughing, bickering, and making jokes along the way, Li Yuanji visited the Tanshan Cultural Museum and got a general understanding of the teaching achievements of the Tanshan Cultural Museum since its completion.

At present, apart from teaching one teacher and four students who have graduated long ago, there are no other teaching achievements in the library.

However, the instructors in the library are very confident in the students studying in the library now, and firmly believe that in a year or two, all the students in the library will be able to train all the students in the library to be useful talents for Datang.

Li Yuanji didn't believe it at all.

Let's not talk about what the students in the library were before they entered school, just looking at their performance after entering school, it is enough to see that not many of them can become talents.

In the future, the vast majority of them are doomed to lie on the merits of their parents and wait to die. Only a small number of them can become talents.

And even if these people have achieved some success in their studies, it will be difficult for them to enter the power center of Datang in the future.

Because there are already enough royal families in the power center of Datang, and the power that Datang distributes to the royal family is also enough. If Datang wants to develop and grow in the future, it will no longer be able to distribute power to the royal family. In this way, we have to find ways to take back some of the power in the hands of the royal family.

Otherwise, if the royal families are allowed to expand unscrupulously, Datang will be dragged down by these royal families sooner or later.

In history, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he decisively began to gather the power in the hands of the royal family, so that the royal family did not become a disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxuan also did the same, but he failed to do it, and ruined the country passed down to him by his grandfather. Therefore, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty completely became a big burden of the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty.

How big is it?
It was so big that the taxes of the Ming Dynasty could hardly afford it.

The taxation of a country is not enough to support the royal family. What strength and development can you expect from this country?
Although there is some water in it, and some people have counted their greedy money on the royal family, but even so, it can still reflect the influence of the royal family on a country after it becomes a burden and becomes a burden.

So Li Yuanji said that he would not let the royal family have too much power in the country, and the ethnic group would be too large.

Therefore, even if the emperor's relatives and relatives in the Tanshan Wenguan become prominent in the future, it will be difficult for them to become prime ministers and rank among the three princes and nine ministers.

However, judging from the opinions of the instructors in the library, they seem to be very confident, so let them do it.

Anyway, people are doing good deeds, and they are also teaching people to become talents. This kind of thing should not be suppressed, but should be encouraged.

It is not what Li Yuanji wants to see, turning the sons and daughters of important officials into waste, or forcing the important ministers to make their children into waste with their own hands.

In Li Yuanji's view, doing so would not only breed a group of moths who eat nothing but corpses, it would also be tantamount to abolishing martial arts, which would be of no benefit to a country.

Da Song has already helped to verify this point. After coercing and luring the important ministers to raise their children into waste, the final end is to meet the enemy. No one wants to go up, no one dares to go up. If you want to save your life, even if you are forced to go up, you will only try to save your life instead of killing the enemy.

When newcomers show up, they will try their best to win them over and corrupt them.

If they fail to win over and corrode, they will try their best to destroy each other.

In this way, in a huge country, there will never be newcomers available, nor will there be anyone with outstanding abilities available.

This country is also doomed to be bullied and bullied until it perishes.

Therefore, Li Yuanji felt that there is no need for those in power in a country to coerce and lure the important ministers to turn their children into waste. To know people, employ people, and not reuse them.

As long as the promotion channels of the heirs of important ministers are suppressed, and they are constantly looking for reasons and excuses to promote them up and down, so that they have been hovering among middle-level officials, how can they cooperate with their father, grandfather and others to monopolize the court?

During this period, no matter how vigorously we select capable newcomers, and let the newcomers quickly stand out and confront the old people, the old people can be further restrained from monopolizing the court.

Another advantage of doing this is that it can ensure that the upper and middle levels of the court are all capable people.

It can also ensure that the court is always available.

It is not necessary to let a civil servant become a military general, or let a military general become a civil servant.

Although there is no shortage of people with both civil and military skills in this era, this type of people is a minority after all, and even those who are all-rounder in both civil and military fields have a focus on civil and military aspects, and very few people can have outstanding abilities in both aspects.

Therefore, the imperial court can only ensure that there are people available in both aspects, so that they will not be blinded at critical times.

Li Yuanji encouraged the teachers a few more words, expressed condolences to the life of the teachers, and helped the teachers solve some difficulties in life, and then rushed to an elegant room in the cultural hall amidst the bright smiles of the teachers.
