Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 535 Buy Beautiful Jewelry and Clothes for My Concubine
The Ministry of Culture, the world of culture.

Is this goal too big?

and……

Is it really necessary for everyone to be able to read a book?

For the long-term stability of the throne, to be honest, it is best to use the policy of ignoring the people, right?
When he went to explain to himself Aye that he wanted to build such a department, Li Chong also thought along the way, the more intellectuals there are, will there be any advantages or disadvantages for him, a feudal ruler?
Obviously, if you want to talk about the pros and cons, the cons definitely outweigh the pros.

but……

It seems that the usefulness of novels such as ghosts and ghosts should not be exaggerated too much.

to be honest!
Isn't this something that is usually used for entertainment and recreation.

Like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, novels also appeared, and it was not seen that the people of the Ming and Qing Dynasties awakened to anything.

However, the improvement in literacy rate is obvious.

Or rather...

It is precisely because the literacy rate has gone up that there are more people who read novels?
No matter how!

Do whatever you think of.

Now as soon as Li Chong appeared and called Aye, Li Chun felt a bit of a headache.

because……

As long as Li Chong calls Aye, then Li Chong will definitely do something wrong, or, he will be caught and asked a hundred thousand why.

"Aye!"

Stepping on the little cotton socks to his own Aye's study, Li Chong spoke.

Next, Li Chun frowned as expected.

But anyway, he is his own son, so what can he do?
He could only say with a wry smile: "Chong'er, why are you here?"

Li Chong then told Aye about building a Ministry of Culture.

of course!

Now this department is still in an unformed and undetermined state.

If it doesn't work...

Then he can only let his father-in-law go directly to the sea to do business.

In fact...

Li Chong believes that the Ministry of Culture should have another role.

That is to win the culture war.

Although this cultural war may be nothing compared to earning money from the people of Liao and Jiaozhi.

to be frank!
It's been so many years.

The "blood ties" between Datang and these feudal states have long since faded.

Now it should be a relationship that only pays attention to the exchange of interests.

Then Li Chong must find a way to earn their money.

after all……

At some point in the future, they might fight again.

At this time, Datang should almost exist like a co-lord.

It's like Zhou Tianzi.

But once the Great Tang began to decline, Li Chong had no doubt that the remaining feudal states would not be safe either.

Of course!
In this case, it may have to wait for a long, long time.

For example...

You have to wait at least four or five hundred years.

After listening to Li Chong's words, Li Chun also said: "Chong'er, are you making this too obvious? Is it your little concubine who asked you to do this?"

Li Chong said: "No, I thought of it myself. The main thing is, I don't know many people. So there are not many people who can use it."

Li Chun: "Then you can't find someone else?"

Li Chong said: "Other people, how can they have their own father-in-law to order them around."

Li Chun: "..."

Li Zhong: "What I need is someone who can completely obey me."

Li Chun also couldn't help thinking, this kid is only ten years old, so he is already like this?
You have to obey him completely.

Li Chun could only say that he couldn't guarantee whether his words would work or not, so he could only tell Li Chong: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll go and talk to your imperial grandfather."

"Thank you Aye, then Aye, I'm leaving!"

This time, he didn't pester him to ask [-] whys, but it made Li Chun feel a little uncomfortable to be so straightforward.

Then...

Li Chun went to Li Kuo and talked about the matter briefly.

Li Kuo said: "Others are avoiding relatives by emphasizing talents, but this kid is good. He just recommended one of his own people to be a servant. But the culture of the world, this idea is good!"

"Is this what you taught him?"

Then Li Kuo suddenly said again.

Li Chun also smiled wryly and said, "Father, I don't have so many wonderful ideas like him. Chong'er only has one idea every day."

Li Kuo thought about it, indeed!

If it were Li Chun, he would definitely not be able to come up with so many ideas.

Then he said: "You asked him to come to see me, since it was his idea, why didn't he come to see me by himself."

Li Chun thinks so too.

then……

That night, he sent someone to tell Li Chong about it.

the next day.

Considering that Luo Weiyun stayed at home alone, it was too boring.

and so……

Li Chong also thought of it. In the future, whenever he goes on duty, he must bring the other party with him.

Just next to the room on duty, make another small cubicle, and let Luo Weiyun stay there with Xiaoxiao and the others.

of course!

The first thing for Li Zhong to do this day was to meet his imperial grandfather.

"The ministers and grandchildren have met the emperor's grandfather!"

Li Kuo had just returned from the court meeting.

Then...

Then I heard Li Chong's crisp voice.

"Come on, come in."

"Yes."

"I don't know what the emperor's grandfather summoned his ministers and grandsons for?"

The first thing Li Kuo wanted to ask was also the question of his concubine, "You really took a concubine for yourself, let the emperor look at it, what does it look like?"

Li Chong: "A little concubine, there is no need to alarm your grandfather, but if you really want to see it, then it's not impossible. It's outside right now."

Li Kuo: "Then quickly call in and let the emperor's grandfather show you."

Then Luo Weiyun was brought in.

originally……

I will take it with me to be on duty later.

Li Kuo looked at Luo Weiyun, it was okay, she was indeed a beauty, and there was a kind of gentleness and a small family feeling in her whole body.

After all, it is from Jiangnan.

After watching Luo Weiyun, Li Kuo finally got down to business.

Asked: "Your Ministry of Culture is only for the cultural world? What are the benefits of this cultural world? Tell me."

Li Chong said quickly: "First, there are more people who can read and write. From then on, when the imperial court promulgates some government decree, there will be no need for a whole village to surround a teacher and ask what the decree says."

Li Kuo: "Then what good is it?"

Li Chong: "The advantage is that the people will not be deceived. If the people don't know any words, then the local officials have the final say on what the decree says."

Li Kuo nodded: "There are some reasons, but... this is not enough for the Ministry of Culture to produce a fourth-rank servant?"

Li Chong also said at this time: "Actually...these are not the most important. The most important thing is that only when the culture flourishes can some industries related to culture develop."

"For example, Le prostitute, you have to know how to read and write."

"Although it is possible to teach from person to person, but the efficiency is too slow."

"What if you can directly pass literacy and then spread it?"

"Grandfather, think about it, there will be a lot of happy prostitutes in the world, definitely more than now."

Li Kuo also said: "Then why do you want so many prostitutes?"

Li Chong also said: "This is just a metaphor. Besides, is this just to solve the livelihood of some people? If it really doesn't work, they can also become prostitutes. For example, they know how to read and write."

Li Kuo also said: "What a happy prostitute needs to know is not just literacy."

Li Chong: "This is natural!"

"What Chensun means is that if a person is illiterate and only knows how to farm, then he can only do rough work like farming for the rest of his life."

"But if you know how to read and write, then there will be infinite possibilities in the future."

"For example, if you are tired, do you need to find something to entertain yourself?"

Li Kuo: "That's right."

Li Zhong: "Then reading can also be a pastime. The prerequisite for reading for entertainment is to be literate. If everyone in the Tang Dynasty was literate, there would be countless people who would need to read."

"Then...the printing industry will be promoted. At that time, it will not only provide Datang with a large number of jobs, but also...we can also make money by printing books."

"What can I do with the money I make?"

Li Kuo also asked, "What are you using it for?"

Li Chong said: "Buy beautiful jewelry and clothes for my concubine, ahem! No, it is to pay taxes to the court, so that the court will not perish if it has money."

Li Kuo: "?"
