Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

It doesn't seem to be in line with the rumors. The administrative ability of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is simply unbelievable!

The reason why so many people thought that Li You was not good before that was because there were rumors that when Li You was in charge of Youzhou 723, basically all administrative matters were directly handled by Ma Zhou, who followed him at that time. .

Is this not a manifestation of administrative incompetence?

After returning with Li You, Ma Zhou has been promoted to the middle of the staff, so his ability is obvious to all, and it is not impossible to manage Youzhou in an orderly manner.

If it weren't for these rumors, how could Li You, who had shown amazing talent many times before, be easily considered incompetent to serve as the regent of the country?

Among so many people, only Ma Zhou himself knew the truth of the matter, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Though those statements are true, the cognitions derived from them are simply inaccurate! The reason why I handled all administrative affairs for His Royal Highness Chu King in Youzhou is precisely because His Royal Highness is too capable, so I won't do this. If so, it is equivalent to nothing to help His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

In the crowd's thoughts, Li You also successfully ended his first court.

"Okay, it's all settled at last, retreat!" Li You waved his hand and yawned in a relaxed way, "I woke up too early today, and this king is rushing back to make up for a sleepover."

Chapter 449 The problem that has never been solved (the first)

In the next few days, Li You was just like the first day of the court, quickly solving the problem, and then quickly going back to make up for sleep.

As for going to bed early so that I don't have to go back to sleep or something... if it doesn't exist, cultivating immortals is really happy!

It's not that Li You is squeamish, but that the ancients got up too early, which is completely inconsistent with Li You's modern biological clock.

Although this is good, over time, many courtiers gradually feel that something is wrong.

"Huh? I always feel... I seem to be basically useless?"

In the past, after raising questions, Li Shimin would first ask the Aiqings for their opinions, and then everyone would speak freely, and then discuss the best solution together.

But now it's different, Li You has done it all by himself, and there is no room for them to intervene!

Moreover, even if they wanted to intervene, there was nowhere to start, because no one could remember all the problems from the beginning to the end in their minds like Li You!

This kind of discussion became more and more intense among the civil servants and military generals, and when Ma Zhou learned about it, tears filled his eyes.

"You can finally understand how I felt in Youzhou!"

Precisely because His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so powerful, doing things by his side can easily make him feel as if he has nothing to do, as if he is useless!

Over time, many ministers saw it and felt that this was not acceptable!

In this way, wouldn't it be like they were all compared to the younger ones?

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is very good, but don't they want to lose face?If things go on like this, there may be rumors among the people, saying that the ability of the officials and officials is not as good as that of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it is like a vase as a foil!

Literati are generally very famous, so it is absolutely intolerable for this kind of thing to happen.

Moreover, in the past, the Tang Dynasty had the reputation of a wise ruler and a worthy minister. The ministers were famous for their courage to remonstrate, while Li Shimin was praised for being good at remonstrance. How could it be like this now?

Today's Chaoshen is nothing more than a personal show of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Under the backlog of this kind of emotion, the undercurrent of the court was surging, and it finally broke out in this time of the court.

"Do you still have questions, lords? If you don't have any, then we're done. Please go back to your home."

Li You yawned and made the final summary.

This appearance also made many people frown. It is also a point that Li You is very criticized for. In their opinion, the court is a serious occasion. What is the attitude of King Li You of Chu?

"Hold on, Your Highness, I have something to announce!"

Just as Li You was about to retreat, Li Xiaogong suddenly stepped out.

Li You fixed his mind and looked at him. This Li Xiaogong was ranked second only to Changsun Wuji among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which shows how difficult it is to deal with.

"What's the matter with Mr. Li?"

"What's the matter with Mr. Li?"

Li Xiaogong immediately said: "His Royal Highness, what the minister said today is a fundamental problem left by the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and it is also something that my Ministry of Rites has spent a long time unable to solve. The common people are generally illiterate, and... …”

After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, Li You probably understood.

In short, it is a problem of low literacy rate and lack of culture among the common people. It has not been solved since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and most common people are still in a state of ignorance and ignorance.

In Li You's view, there are two reasons for this.

One is that the threshold for studying in the Tang Dynasty was too high. Before that, it was basically monopolized by the powerful families. This way, the powerful families can also ensure that most of the officials who will be officials in the future are from their powerful class, not from the poor.

Although Li You has already relied on movable type printing to minimize the cost of purchasing books, the time spent studying hard in Hanchuang is still too long, and most people do not work because they have no time, which leads to even more poverty in their families.

This is also the reason why more and more people today are reluctant to send their children to school, just because the cost and time required are too high, and in the end, they may only be replaced by a useless poor scholar.

The time required is too long, which involves the second reason.

That is, Li You thinks that the enlightenment education of the Tang Dynasty is really rubbish!

When teaching new characters, the usual method of this era is to use two common characters to reverse or directly spell out the pronunciation of the new character. There is no doubt that this method is extremely bad.

Not only is it very troublesome, but it is very likely that the final pronunciation is not necessarily accurate.

As a result, it would take a long time to learn all the thousands of commonly used words!

"...This king knows, Lord Li, let's retire first."

Thinking of this, Li You nodded, and a vague solution was already formed in his heart.
