Ang Lee's approach is a little deceptive, but what big man would not deceive the people since ancient times? More or less deceiving! There is no leader who does not deceive the people at all, or in other words, only a fool will fully believe that promises will always be better than the truth, and drawing a pie is the specialty of all leaders.

Once upon a time, there were so many founding emperors who promised to give their subordinates enough titles and fiefs, but once the dynasty was stable, they would look for trumped-up charges, put these once powerful subordinates to death, and then defend their own country, or they would weaken the rewards for these people as much as possible, and completely forget the original promise.

There are too many such examples, otherwise there would be no such thing as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and if you want to give examples, you can cite a lot in one breath.

For example, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty made a glass of wine to release the military power with a meal, and took back all the rights of his subordinates, so that these subordinates were helpless, and they couldn't say a word, they could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and they couldn't speak.

The Taizu of the Song Dynasty can at least save the lives of his subordinates, and the old Zhu of the Ming Dynasty is even more ruthless, this product is extremely ruthless, and directly killed most of the old subordinates who have followed him for many years.

The same situation was also in the later Qing Dynasty, when it was just established, because they could use Wu Sangui to fight for them, so they were given the title of king, and they were given great rights and great wealth, but after the Qing Dynasty stabilized, Wu Sangui's surrendered generals were useless, and not only were they useless, but their existence was also a huge hidden danger in the Qing Dynasty, so the cutting of the feudal domain was put on the daily basis.

The so-called cutting of the feudal domain, it seems that there are not many rights to weaken, that is, to weaken part of the land of the feudal king, but as long as the feudal king approves, then, the next step will continue to reduce the feudal domain, step by step, and finally nationalize all the land, and then completely eliminate the rights of the feudal king, and even, in order to save the expenses of the imperial court, directly find a reason for rebellion, and execute the feudal king who has no ability to resist.

Therefore, since ancient times, the most feared thing of the vassal king is to cut the domain, as long as the situation of cutting the feudal domain, the feudal king will basically choose to rebel, for example, the cutting of the feudal domain of the Han Dynasty caused the rebellion of the Seven Kings, and although it was finally pacified, the loss of the entire empire was not small.

After that, the Tang Dynasty's festival made the power too great, often with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, governing the territory of a few states, more than a dozen states, although their official position is not as good as the king, but the actual rights and status are not much different from the king, and it is almost a semi-independent kingdom.

Obviously, these semi-independent vassal kings seriously affected the stability of the Tang Empire, so Tang Dezong and several subsequent emperors have been working on cutting the domain, but the difficulty of cutting the domain is conceivable, and there will be vassal kings who declare independence at every turn and oppose the Tang court, which makes the court extremely headache.

Next is the Ming Dynasty's Jianwen Emperor cut the domain, the emperor is directly from the ruthless emperor grandfather inherited the throne, after the throne began to solve the problem of the vassal king, perhaps too eager for quick success, not only did not succeed, but also led to uncontrollable civil strife, in the end, the young emperor disappeared, became a historical unsolved case.

The last time, it was said that Kangxi's cutting of the feudal domain caused Wu Sangui's rebellion, but in the end, through the eight-year war, he won the victory.

In short, each of the four cuts of the feudal domain had a very serious rebellion, among them, the Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty's feudal rebellion was put down, while the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty's feudal rebellion failed, but in any case, each of them caused a rebellion.

And since the vassal kings are a great danger to the empire, why did they canonize these vassal kings in the first place? Why do you have to bury this hidden danger, isn't this an extra move?

This is naturally because when the empire was first created, the founding emperor needed a lot of people to help him fight the country, and since he needed a lot of people to help him fight the country, then naturally he had to give these people enough benefits and commitments, otherwise, why would others fight hard for you?

In this way, it is logical to seal the king and feudal domain, which is the stage that must be experienced in the initial establishment of the empire, and it is also a helpless thing.

And once the later generations of emperors arrive, they will find that the threat of these vassal kings is too great, and they must be cut off as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a great threat to the entire empire.

As a result, there is a very regular phenomenon, that is, the founding emperor was forced to seal the title, and the later emperors had to clean up these people with titles and kill them all, and then they could sit on the throne themselves.

That is to say, the emperor's promise must not be taken seriously, it is just a big pie, don't think that the emperor will give you the title of king, and your descendants will be able to enjoy the treatment of the vassal king for generations, that is absolutely impossible, it is just that the emperor needs talents like you to fight the world, so he drew a big cake for you, it is a big cake with a time limit, after getting the world, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the original promise will be temporarily fulfilled, in order to show that the emperor did not deceive his subordinates, and indeed gave his subordinates the title of king.

But these are just the expedient measures of the founding emperor, he can give you the title of king, the same, can also take down your throne, some emperors are more anxious, when they are still alive, they will be sealed first and then cut, step by step to destroy their own kings, and some founding emperors find that the time is not yet ripe, the country is not stable enough, and these vassal kings are still needed, so they will temporarily raise it first, and leave it to their descendants to clean up, in short, they will never allow the existence of vassal kings in the empire.

This was the case in ancient times, and in later generations, there was also such a situation, many entrepreneurs, at the beginning of the lack of funds, so they gathered a large group of people to join the shares, encouraging these shareholders to work with themselves, so the effect is really good.

But once the business is successful, because these early shareholders get too many dividends every year, which makes the entrepreneurs quite painful, so they begin to play tricks, carry out the so-called shareholding reform, through various overt and covert means, the equity of the early shareholders is all recovered, thus cutting off the interests of these early shareholders.

This kind of thing is constantly happening everywhere, and it occurs very frequently, and although many shareholders will make trouble through various means, their arms are not able to reach their thighs, and in most cases, they are not resolved, and the equity is finally forcibly withdrawn.

It's like when the imperial court wants to cut down the domain, the vassal king will also argue, saying that the land here was canonized to me by the previous emperor, and every grass and tree here is mine, why should your current emperor take back these lands with a word, what is the reason, so naturally he will rebel.

In a very popular phrase, that is, words do not count, it is very easy to cause others to be angry, no matter who this person is, whether it is an ordinary person, or the emperor of the empire, it is the same.

And the ideas put forward by Ang Lee are some too ideal, so there is also a little deception, even if universal education, it is not possible to completely eliminate all kinds of violations and crimes, but on the whole, after education, the quality of the people will improve a lot, and all kinds of violations of laws and regulations will definitely be greatly reduced, this is for sure.

Of course, education alone is certainly not enough, in addition to education, the imperial court also needs to have sufficient supervision and deterrence, so that ordinary people can start a business with peace of mind and will not choose to engage in dangerous criminal activities.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official once again emphasizes that the so-called implementation of the national popularization school is not to train everyone in the world to become scholars who have made meritorious achievements, but to educate the people, improve their quality, let them understand the basic principles, understand the most basic words, and not become an unreasonable Diao people, as for a very small number of talented people, they can also be found in time, so as not to let the court have the regret of missing pearls in the sea, in recent years, not only the treasury of the imperial court has become more and more abundant, but the private businessmen have become more and more prosperous. There are more and more people who read and learn literature, private schools have already blossomed everywhere, and at least thirty percent of children in the capital already have schools to attend, so what reason is there not to promote universal schools? Do you think that's the truth? ”

Li An looked at everyone and spoke.

Guozi sacrificed wine, his brows furrowed tightly, obviously in deep thought, and many doctors felt that what Li Ang said seemed to have some truth, and even the students in the school felt that what Li Ang said seemed to have a little truth.

At this moment, as the economy of the Tang Empire becomes more and more prosperous, there are more and more rich people, first of all, they have the innate conditions for cultivating children. This has led to a surge in the number of scholars in Datang, and even many ordinary people will try their best to let their children enroll in school and learn some of the most basic cultural knowledge.

But there are always some particularly poor people who can't afford their children's school fees, and there are also some families with many children, who only support one of the children and let the rest of the children do the housework, and there are all kinds of situations, but on the whole, the number of schoolchildren is increasing, and the sound of children reading can be heard everywhere.

Even, some merchant families will invite their husbands to teach their daughters to read and write, which is very valuable, so that these women will become talented people after they have learned something.

Judging from the situation in Chang'an, the capital, the children who can read have indeed accounted for three percent, which is a very high percentage, and the rest of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not reach such a high proportion, but even if there is a high proportion of thirty percent, it is only a minority, and the vast majority of children still do not have the opportunity to get education, which is the main reason why Li An proposed the popularization of education.

And for these nobles, there are already so many people participating in the competition, so you don't have to care about more people joining, and you can get better development opportunities, it doesn't depend entirely on whether you can learn something, but also depends on a person's net worth.

"Lao Yu thinks that what Li Shilang said has some truth, popularizing the school can not only educate the people, but also solve the livelihood problem of many scholars who have not been able to get fame, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

A doctor spoke.

Nowadays, there are a lot of scholars who have not been able to get fame, these people have no strength, it is difficult to make a living, in addition to continuing to test fame, their remaining road is very narrow and narrow, and to be a teacher is a good choice, as long as Datang is fully popularized education, then, many readers will have a job to make a living, which is very beneficial to stabilizing the society and improving the ability of readers to make a living, and it is also an important measure to stabilize the society, so, What reason do these guys have not to support it?

"If you don't get fame in the exam, you will become a teacher, which is a good idea, and in the future, real readers will no longer have to worry about not being able to support themselves."

One of the teaching assistants touched his beard and said with great relief.

According to Ang Lee's plan, the implementation of universal education throughout the country, which will inevitably have a great demand for Mr. Teaching, will meet the needs of many people to make a living, before many scholars, the reason why they have not given up the examination of fame, is because they read too much, in addition to the examination of fame, there is really no other way to make a living, if there is a job of teaching and educating people to support themselves, many readers will choose this job, after all, this job is decent, not very tired, is a very noble job, to paraphrase a sentence of later generations, It is the most glorious career under the sun, and it is the most enviable and great career.

In short, the implementation of national universal education is very urgent and necessary for the current Tang Empire, which can not only solve the education problem of children, but also solve the livelihood problem of many scholars.

As for the fact that there are more readers, it will cause more unemployment, which is not something that should be considered at this time, and Li An also made it very clear before that the premise of implementing national universal education is to break the previous educational concept, so that students can focus on learning knowledge and truth, rather than for the sake of gaining fame.

This work is entrusted to the teachers in various places, and they will decide whether to encourage the children to take the imperial examination according to their ability, and when they meet children with particularly good qualifications, they will naturally have to train them greatly, and when they encounter people with dull qualifications, they will naturally not be encouraged to take the imperial examination, which is equivalent to harming them.
