Chapter 274: Priorities in the Emperor's Eyes
The city of Tokyo fell into a tense atmosphere, since the envoy of the party came to the city of Tokyo, the official family has not appeared for a long time, and the people have a special affection for this official family whose exposure far exceeds that of any of the former emperors of Tokyo City.
At this time, Zhao Zhen was comfortably looking at the book in the back garden, an ancient one let him read with relish, but he didn't expect the ancients' description ability is also very strong, this book called Sixty Books has been sought after by the people of Tokyo, one is divided into "Rain Window", "Long Lamp", "Follow-up", "Pillow", "Boredom", "Awakening Dream" six episodes, from the name you know how romantic the Song people are.
This is recommended by Wang Yuyan, Zhao Zhen was still using it to pass the time at the beginning, but the more he watched it, the more interesting he felt, and then he couldn't help but watch it himself.
These sixty words were issued by Cai Ji, Cai Boyu, this kid keenly grasped the benefits of movable type printing, Zhao Zhen felt embarrassed, at this time Bi Sheng was just a carver in Hangzhou bookstore, after being forcibly recruited to be a prisoner, Zhao Zhen personally met him and proposed movable type printing.
For a while, Zhao Zhen's idea made Bi Sheng shocked, but he didn't expect the idea of the official family to coincide with his, and what is even more commendable is that the general supervisor actually sent him funds to study movable type printing technology......
And Zhao Zhen's words are the first time Cai Ji has used, no, the product of movable type printing for the first time in human beings.
The value of books has also become cheaper from the original precious, no way, the price of paper is not high in the Great Song Dynasty, and the reason for the high price of books is mainly because the cost of original engraving printing is too high.
But now it is different, the emergence of movable type printing technology has made printing books a cheap and efficient thing, and the spread of knowledge has become more rapid and popular, with a material basis, Zhao Zhen intends to improve the literacy rate of the whole people, especially the literacy rate of Tokyo City, which is of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty.
The thousand-character text has been printed the most and the most popular, but Zhao Zhen miscalculated, who of the people has no spare time to run to learn to read?
Besides, half of the people in Tokyo City are literate, so what does it matter if the helpers and nurses in large households are illiterate?
And small families are busy with their livelihoods all day long, who has the time to learn to read?
Zhao Zhen only understood at this time that the elimination of illiteracy was a very difficult task in ancient times, and it was estimated that it was impossible for his own generation, but it could start from the next generation, it doesn't matter if adults are illiterate, anyway, you can support your family, so it's always okay for children to be sent to school to be literate, right?
There are a lot of private schools in the city of Tokyo, and none of them have attracted much attention since the election of the three students was canceled, so Zhao Zhen just took this opportunity to make the Guozijian the education bureau of the Great Song Dynasty......
All private schools and government schools in Tokyo City will be managed by Kokoken, and the private schools and government schools will be merged according to the scale, which will not only save space, but also prevent educational resources from being wasted.
The gentleman of the private school became a public official hired by the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and the court distributed a monthly salary, not only to teach, but also to manage the lives of the children, which made the old gentleman who could only take some bundles of repairs happy.
Unexpectedly, he who had never been an official in his life, was actually treated as a sweetheart by the imperial court in the end, looking at the special style of robes on his body, the old gentlemen shook excitedly several times before sitting down.
Zhao Zhen looked at them with a smile: "You are all my former sons of the Great Song Dynasty, and you have not been admitted to the Jinshi for various reasons, but your knowledge is okay, this official relies not only on knowledge, but also on some other things, so I have wronged you." ”
A group of gentlemen waved their hands again and again: "Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, I can give Da Song a boost in my lifetime, and I'll be content!" ”
"Sure enough, it's an old gentleman! It's Gaoyi! Although I said that, the court will never treat you badly, and the treatment is good, according to the seven officials, what do you think? ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The noses of a group of old gentlemen were red with excitement.
Seven Rank Officer! Hear me! Seven pins!
This is even more powerful than the bookstore in Kaifeng Mansion!
Zhao Zhen waved his hand to quiet down a group of old gentlemen who were so happy that they were about to faint: "Don't underestimate this teacher's position, Han Changli once said: The teacher preaches and teaches to solve doubts!"
It's even more different in our Great Song Dynasty, your students may even be able to become future ministers, so you must be fair, and you can't treat every student privately, and you also have to recruit some talented scholars as teaching assistants, after all, there are many people in Tokyo, and everyone wants the opportunity to go to school for free, and children will inevitably have more ......."
"Don't worry, the official family has been teaching and educating people for so many years, and some disciples ......"
The old man's words made Zhao Zhen embarrassed a row of foreheads: "I forgot!" But remember, every teacher must be registered with the imperial court. ”
A group of old gentlemen bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”
The reason why Zhao Zhen let these old gentlemen come to the back garden is to avoid the envoys of the party members, this group of people is simply too deceitful, as if they know their bottom line, they don't let go, think about Yang Caiwei in the harem, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, this may be the price of this demon girl under his hands!
Sancai left with a group of old gentlemen, and their important job was to spread the will of the officials throughout the city of Tokyo, and that school-age children should be admitted to school free of charge, and only had to pay for their books.
At present, the "Three Character Classic" compiled by the official family is only sold for ten yuan a copy, and even the "Thousand Character Text" and "Shuowen Jie Zi", which have a slightly larger number of words, are only fifteen yuan, which was simply unimaginable in the past.
The cost of children's schooling has been reduced to an unprecedented level, and of course people are scrambling to send their children to school, even if they can't make a big difference, it's better than not knowing a word, right?
Cai Kee now recruits literate workers.
It is said that literate people get more money than illiterate people, and they have a better chance of promotion!
People are like this, what they don't have, they all hope that children can carry forward, and all their hopes are pinned on children, naturally, reading and literacy is not time for adults in advance, but it is a matter of course for children.
Zhao Zhen believes that the people of Tokyo will send their children to school, because it is a shortcut to change their fate.
The envoys of the party members cannot be ignored no matter what, they have been hanging them for a long time, and now they are a joke, and if they don't see the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, it will become a joke.
The bigger the country, the greater the responsibility, the more important the reputation it bears, and of course the better the face, the vanity of the Celestial Empire cannot be avoided in any dynasty.
The place where the envoys meet is generally in the Daqing Palace, but Zhao Zhen arranged the place of the court meeting in the Zichen Hall this time, and it is a partial hall, there are no civil and military officials, there is no emperor honor guard, Zhao Zhen wore the most comfortable and casual Yanju clothes on the throne to meet the party envoy.
The envoy angrily expressed the anger and will of the party.
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "Your request, I have approved, and I will appoint Li Deming as the envoy of the Dingyan Army, the King of Xiping, I will also start a battle at the border of the security army, and communicate with the party, but there is one thing you have to tell Ah Yi, next time you are using this kind of small trick to blackmail the Great Song Dynasty, just prepare for war!" I don't know if your party can withstand the killing of Song and Liao? ”
Zhao Zhen's words are pure nonsense, Song and Liao do not trust each other, and it is impossible to cooperate to destroy the party, but these words will make the envoy suspicious, and even ignore the fact that the emperor of the Song Dynasty called Li Deming Xiaozi.
Especially Zhao Zhen's next words, which made the envoy even more worried.
"Ah Yi is very smart and knows how to use Yi Liao and Song to alleviate external contradictions, but he treats everyone in the world as a fool, thinking that no one else can see his little abacus? Didn't the party go on a rampage in the Hexi Corridor in order to gain trade?
Do you really think I and Emperor Liao don't know?
I know that the party is not easy, and if you want to survive in the cracks, you need to have extraordinary means, but unfortunately, Tuoba Zhuoran I will not return it to you, I will give you three days, if the people are still in Tokyo City, even if you give up resistance, I will pull them out one by one! And thank you for the warrior who killed Li Shibin, I have always wanted to kill him, but I can't find a good excuse, now you have done me a great favor! ”
The party envoy opened his mouth and closed it, he really didn't know how to answer Zhao Zhen's words.
The envoy walked away under the guidance of Sancai, until he still didn't say anything except for the palace gate, but he didn't say anything about the etiquette and other issues that he was going to attack, and he was also a general of the Great Song Dynasty, and what was even more infuriating was that now he found out that the Great Song Emperor had been calling Li Deming in small characters!
The small characters are the names of the elders to the younger generations, and even the peers can't be used, but they are naturally said in the air of Emperor Zhao and Song......
The envoy stopped the qi knot, but there was no way, who would have thought that the young master was born and died, and Li Shibin, who worked hard to kill, was actually the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
The key is that the young official family of the Great Song Dynasty does have a bearing that ordinary people can't reach, as if everything is under his control, and the words he says are naturally convincing, and the envoy feels that even Li Yuanhao, the coquettish son of the party members, is far from the Song official family......
