God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 367 Must be greatly changed (second change)

The matter of the eldest grandson Anye is considered an accident in the eyes of outsiders.

But Li Chengqian didn't think so. He even felt a black force coming towards him. Although he was a little uneasy, he was more excited. He was afraid that if they didn't come, he would guarantee that they would come and go. .

It was as if the eldest grandson, Anye, had been severely taught by Xue Rengui, but he still didn't dare to speak up.That's how much you can eat!
That night, Li Chengqian ordered everyone to count the wine, which was accurate to within one tael.

After Li Chengqian left this matter to his own people, he went to sleep soundly, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also returned safely.Everything returned to calm.

Until noon the next day, Wei Zheng came to look for him.

This time he was still sad.

It can be said that from the beginning to the present, nothing has been easy.Because they are doing things that have not been done before, the difficulty factor of things is very high.

Therefore, Wei Zheng also came to ask Li Chengqian for instructions from time to time.

"Wei Zheng, what's wrong with you?"

Li Chengqian asked directly.

"His Royal Highness, our newspaper printed 20 copies, and all of them were distributed within an hour."

Newspapers are popular, not bad!

"It's a good thing, why are you doing this?"

Wei Zheng changed the subject and said:

"But people don't seem to be very willing to reform the imperial examinations! We have interviewed many people at this time, and people's willingness is very low, and they seem to be afraid."

Li Chengqian thinks it's wrong, shouldn't people raise their hands in favor?
How can there be no will?There must be a reason for it!

So he asked:
"What is the main reason?"

Wei Zheng said:
"The poor want to reform and get ahead, but the hosts don't want to! They don't have the right to take the lead, so they have to listen to the host's arrangements, and this type of people is the most. Therefore, the imperial examination has not caused much effect."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian seemed to understand what was going on.

It turned out to be in the household registration system of the Tang Dynasty.

Household registration in the Tang Dynasty was divided into "registered households" and "non-registered households", and "registered households" were "good people" and free people;
"Non-registered households" are "untouchables", such as craftsmen, musicians, handymen, slaves, etc.Untouchables are not eligible to open their own households, and can only share one household registration with the main family, which is the household registration book in the modern sense.

"Slaves, servants and sluts are similar to livestock", and this system has been inherited in a hereditary manner. Once born in a humble family, you will never be able to stand up and climb high.

The household registration system of the Tang Dynasty divided the hierarchical order of feudal society to the extreme.

When the household registration system arrived in the Song Dynasty, it can be said that it has entered an unprecedented era of freedom.After five generations of fighting, the aristocratic families fell apart, and the common people no longer distinguished between good and bad, and all of them recovered as free people.After abandoning the "good people" and "untouchable" systems, they were replaced by "fangguo households" and "rural households", that is, the division of urban household registration and rural household registration.

And most people do not have independent households, so they rely on the main family to survive, and it is difficult for them to move without the main family, because wherever they go, they will be interrogated.How to take the imperial examination?He is not even a free person, and he has to act according to the face of others.

This is because the five great families are more obvious, so they can control a large number of people and prevent them from studying to change their destiny, it is precisely because they control the household registration of these people.

Some time ago, they began to recruit people aggressively, signed contracts, and defined more people as lowly households, preventing them from going to school. Their intentions can be described as very sinister.

This is a problem with the system of the dynasty. If the system is not changed, there is basically no way to carry out educational reforms, because only some people have books to read, and others still have no way to read.

Therefore, Li Chengqian had an idea, maybe he could carry out the reform of household registration.

"In this way, it seems that some reforms must be carried out."

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Wei Zheng knew that this matter was not simple. Every time Li Chengqian made a move, he was very cruel, and this time it must be the same.

Before he could finish speaking, Ouyang Xun and Shangguanyi hurried over.

"His Royal Highness!"

Li Chengqian asked: "What's wrong?"

The arrival of the two of them was probably because of this incident.

Sure enough, Shangguanyi said:

"The number of students who signed up today is less than 300, which is different from the [-] we expected!"

There is still an exam for admission. If there are not tens of thousands of people, then this exam will eliminate more than half, so there are only a hundred people, and 230 six teachers are needed to teach?Isn't that the big tooth that makes people laugh?

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian knew that these were synchronous, what Wei Zheng said had a certain reference value, and what Ouyang Xun said was more specific.

Ouyang Xun continued: "Some people were driven away by the patrol because they didn't have household registration, and some were directly dragged into prison. No one dares to come now!"

"What! They dare to drag people from my school to jail! Guan Lishi, give me an order to release them! If not, ask Xing Guogong to assist! Just say I said it!"

Li Chengqian said very angrily.

Use Fang Xuanling when necessary.

Yes!
He knew that these patrols were a matter of public security in Chang'an, so the highest level of these patrols was the Ministry of War, and there was only one person in the Ministry of War against him, that is Shangshu Li Xiaochang, so he had reason to know that this matter had nothing to do with him.

But as far as the public is concerned, this guy is just enforcing the law without any favoritism.

He can fish people out, but he can't stop them from arresting them again, and if the education reform is to be extended to the entire Tang Dynasty in the future, tens of thousands of people will be locked up. How can he fish them out?
All of this has to come from the source, it can't be achieved by defeating just one Li Xiaochang.

He thought to himself, good Li Xiaochang, if you dare to prevent Lao Tzu from reforming, let Lao Tzu remember, your military department will be completely useless!See if I won't punish you!
But then it was decided:

"Let's go, let's go to the academy!"

"Yes!"

At least in the early stage, these people can't have a bad reputation.First recruit all the students. These people are the trial and error stones for his first reform of the imperial examination system. He can only be right, not fail!

As soon as he went out, he ran into Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin. These two people were arranged by him in Fengtang Commercial House. After a long time, they came to catch up.

The two seemed to have something to do, but before they could say anything, they were interrupted by him.

He said: "Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, you two put on your casual clothes and come to the school with me! Hurry up!"

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

Cheng Chumo looked blank, and Yuchi Baolin was even more so.

The two of them still don't know what happened, and Li Chengqian has disappeared.

"His Royal Highness, wait for us..."
