Chapter 58: An Irresistible Temptation

Through Yao Silian's words, the Confucians finally understood the meaning of the emperor's move of pushing wooden cards.

However, how many of those who can read are willing to be teachers? In Datang, as long as you are literate, the worst can be mixed into a shopkeeper, and being a shopkeeper is much more oily than Mr. Teaching.

Although the seats are full of respected Confucians, there is no one with a lot of money, and there are a few who can't solve the problem of food and clothing.

Li Shimin saw that all the great Confucians were pondering, so he said: "I plan to fund the construction of a academy, and in addition to the students such as Guozijian and Hongwenguan for the imperial court selection, the rest will be sent to the state capitals to serve as 'teachers', and the imperial court will issue a salary. A state-level academy was established by the faculty and the students.

I feel that as long as I work hard from now on, I will definitely be able to open the academy in the county within a hundred years! Within 200 years, you can open a village! Three hundred years later, hum ......"

The great Confucians listened to Li Shimin's words and listened to their drools and didn't know that three hundred years, only three hundred years, even if they were farmers working in the fields, they could recite beautiful poems!

What a scene that must be!

Han Chongwen asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know how much food is needed to open such an academy?" With all the official positions of the imperial court already decided, how much expenditure will be required from the treasury to create a new position? ”

Li Shimin pointed to his patched dragon robe and said: "I think that clothes are enough to cover the body, food is enough to fill the stomach, and it is enough to live in the rain and freeze. At the beginning of my accession to the throne, I ordered the palace to reduce the amount of money and save a lot of money and food, and on the occasion of the New Year, the landlord of the world donated 500,000 yuan, of which 200,000 were used to build houses for the poor, and there were 300,000 left! Such a heavy investment, can it be used? ”

Han Chongwen stood up, bowed to Li Shimin, lay on the ground and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! Although the grass people are old and frail, they can still be driven for three years and five years, Your Majesty will open a academy, please leave a place for the grass people! ”

All the great Confucians followed Han Chongwen's example and shouted that they wanted to join the academy.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the reaction of these Confucians, and in the Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming's words of "not bending his waist for five buckets of rice" and "leisurely seeing Nanshan" were widely praised by Shilin, and the imperial court opened the imperial examination, and the people who entered the office were all clansmen with five surnames and seven hopes or other high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there were few folk!

It made him feel bad! Well, now more than 100 Chang'an Confucians have been tempted by the candy of "educating the people", and the talents in the countryside are not far from being caught!

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, and said that Li Chengqian can now hang the title of "vice president"!

Li Chengqian comprehended, stepped forward to help the Confucians up one by one, and then said: "Chengqian is not talented, it is the vice president of the academy, the academy was founded, and people who are in urgent need of teachers are all respected Confucians, and the academy must be waiting for you!" It's just that the academy is still under construction, and it will take another year to complete. Until then, I hope you will participate in the printing process......"

When it comes to printing books, it seems to tug at the heartstrings of these great Confucians, some of them express that they want to donate their treasured books and print a few more, and some implicitly propose that they want to print the books and periodicals they have written.

Li Chengqian naturally agreed one by one.

When you saw the printing press with your own eyes in the backyard of the world, you couldn't wait to jump on it and get close to it.

Yao Silian shook his head even more: "It's really hard to carve sandalwood, and dead wood printing can bloom!" ”

……

Whenever he encounters something happy, Li Shimin wants to tell the queen that as long as he hasn't seen the queen for many years, he will be unhappy.

Today, when he came to the queen's bedroom as usual, he was stopped by the palace maid outside!

This is truly unprecedented!

The queen's personal maid hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the lady is receiving female guests inside, and I told you that you need to report before you go in." ”

"I don't have to report it."

The queen pushed open the door of the palace and walked out with Liu Shuwen.

Liu Shuwen saw Li Shimin hurriedly squatting down to give a salute.

"Oh, it's Shuwen, why did you come to the palace today?"

The queen glanced at the emperor: "It's not your bad idea, a few days ago, I directly talked to Leng Gongzi about marriage, forcing Leng Gongzi to go away from the border, I heard that you and Wei Zheng worked together to find a husband for Shuwen, you, worry about it!" ”

Li Shimin touched his nose: "In the end, I and Wei Zheng can't bear to look at the Liu family, I thought before, Shuwen and Leng Feng will be very comfortable in this life." But then Wei Zheng told me that he didn't want the Liu family to be the queen, and after I counted it, I felt that it was indeed the case! Who is Leng Feng? How can you tolerate your child changing his surname? It's better to recruit one. ”

Liu Shuwen squatted down and saluted: "The slave and maid have thanked Your Majesty for her kindness, but Shuwen has an oath in front of her, and she will be a slave and a maid in this life to repay the kindness of the master of the house." In this case, it is inconvenient to be allowed to be another wife. ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Well, in this case, you can decide for yourself!" ”

At this moment, a man with a black cloak and a mask on his face appeared behind the pillars, and the queen just glanced at it, and hurriedly pulled Liu Shuwen back to the house.

In the palace, they are still dressed like this, and it can only be the worship of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and it must be a big event if the general worship appears. Even the queen must be avoided at this time.

Li Shimin also saw this person, waved his hand, and took him to the side hall.

Walking into the side hall, the black-cloaked talent took off his mask.

Beneath the mask was a ghostly face, and the scars looked like they had been burned.

It was indeed a burn, if it wasn't for this person who blocked the oil for Li Shimin, it should be Li Shimin who has this face now, so Li Shimin has never been defensive against this person.

"Zhongqing, didn't you decide to gradually hand over the Hundred Cavalry Division to Zhang Wen and then retire? How do you have time to see me? ”

Zhang Zhongqing took out a letter from his arms and threw it away, and the letter flew towards Li Shimin like a frisbee.

Li Shimin took it and looked at the envelope, which turned out to be a 100,000 urgent secret letter from within the Hundred Cavalry Division.

This kind of secret letter is the highest level, and it conveys the great events of the general's rebellion and the invasion of the enemy's country. Even the news of Luo Yi's rebellion is not qualified to go through the channel of the secret letter of the Hundred Horses.

Li Shimin hurriedly opened it, only to see that it was written in a mess:

"My emperor and commander are like meeting, and today the owner of the downstairs is carrying a thing, like a fist, made of fine iron, attached to the arrow, and the middle person, bursting, the sound is like thunder, and Mo Tu and more than a dozen subordinates died in this thing. Li Jing pleaded to promote it to the army, and the landlord responded to it......"

The only one who can write this kind of tattered words is Zhang Wen, a fist-big thunderbolt? I don't know what it is, it's so powerful!

Zhang Zhongqing arched his hand and said: "Although Zhang Wen has a rough temperament, he will definitely not exaggerate on the secret letter. ”
