The pain and panic brought by the plague to the Tang Dynasty were washed away without a trace by the ecstasy brought by books and papers, the Great Plague of Chang'an is like a history that has been deliberately forgotten, no one mentions it again, and the people who have been hurt by the loss of their relatives have been compensated and compensated by the imperial court, and they have also faced life again, and the soldiers who have lost their comrades have returned to normal after crying bitterly and swearing to take care of their comrades-in-arms.

Life still has to be passed.

The large number of books sold and the extremely low prices made the literati and people of the Tang Dynasty think that this is paradise and a dream, but the real books and words that exude the fragrance of ink, as well as the outrageous paper that is as white as snow but at a low price, are really telling everyone that this is not a dream, this is reality.

Almost everyone is buying books and paper regardless of qiē, if it were not for the limit of how many books and how much paper each person can buy, it is estimated that a wealthy businessman can buy the entire Chang'an books, but they only know how to buy, but they don't know how to read, they don't even know how to read, how can they read? But they don't have this awareness, they only know that buying books and paper, owning books and paper, thousands of years of poverty, once can be subverted, they are all crazy, whether it is useful or not, as long as they have it, it is good.

Carrying it in his arms, hiding in his clothes, sleeping under his pillow, holding a book in his hand, holding his little son who could just walk, he took the book out of his arms like a few family treasures, and then looked left and right to see if there was anyone to protect the book like a thief, and then turned a page and told his child that this thing is called a book, and his ancestors have not read it for many generations. But now you can read it, you have to know that reading can make you a big official, and if you read well, the merits of our more than ten generations of farming will come to an end!

In the face of the crazy rush of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang government finally realized that the people's thirst for culture has accumulated to a certain limit, and it is irreversible to open up the people's wisdom and make the popularization of culture irreversible. The family has always been swimming against the current. Their demise was predestined.

The officials of the three big families and some of their protégés who were left in the court were blue every day, walking with their heads down, feeling cold in their backs wherever they went, and not saying a word when they discussed with the court. Keep your head down. The swagger of the past is no longer visible. Even when the Tang government talked about how to deal with the privileges of the existing families that were closely related to them, they just shivered and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to intervene.

Li Erma Xià feels that his happiness these days is the sum of all the previous happiness, the matter of selling books in the Vermilion Bird Gate has been recorded in the history books of the historians, and it will be a great deal of praise, and the Qingliu literati group and the Hanmen scribes headed by Kong Yingda are even more excited and crying, and have written articles to praise this historic moment, as an emperor of non-pure Han blood who was born in a soldier, Li Erma Xià has always been the object of insult and despise by the literati.

Of course, he also realized the power of public opinion, he began to pay attention to the voice of the people, every thing to send people to ask the people's opinions, the people reflect well and are overjoyed, the people reflect indifferent and worried, the 100,000 people who sell books in the Vermilion Bird Gate make him not only excited, but also afraid, he really realized the power of the people for the first time, he finally understood that the fall of the Shandong Shi clan is not his credit, nor is it the credit of Suning, the Shandong Shi clan has come to an end, and he is isolated from the world.

Shang Ying's change to the end, the nobles have no power to change, can only compromise, even if Shang Yang is dead, but the general trend of the world can not be disobeyed, no matter how strong the old forces are, no matter how much they play with power, it is still difficult to fight against the mouth of Youyou, the power of the people, it can be seen that Li Er Majesty Xià also told the ministers at the court meeting three times and five times to pay attention, and did not hesitate to say what he woke up in his dreams several times to warn the ministers, oppressing the people, there is no good end.

Seeing that Li Ermaxi seemed to have overreacted, the ministers played and told the things of all dynasties and dynasties again, so as to alleviate Li Erma's worries, the Shandong Shi clan died because of the people, will the Tang Dynasty be the same? Li Erma's worries were like this, the ministers played repeatedly, somewhat calming the hearts of the frightened people, and then Suning entered the palace, and said to Li Erma's words that the water could carry the boat or overturn the boat, and that night, a neat pair of big characters hung on the bedside of Li Erma's Xià......

The king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, or it can overturn the boat.

Li Ermajesty regained his self-confidence, he firmly believed that as long as he was worthy of the people of the world, the people of the world would not be sorry for him, everything he did was beneficial to the people, and the people would not betray him......

This guy is still afraid, really afraid, if he wasn't really afraid, he would definitely not say the words of Junzhou Minshui, what kind of person and what made Li Ermajesty say such a thing in the original time and space, Suning didn't know, but Suning understood that Li Erma's Xià at that time was the same as Li Erma's Xià at this time, and he had a sense of fear for the people under his rule.

This kind of fear is a witness to the birth of a Ming Monarch and a Holy Monarch, and if it is not grasped well, it will only cause bloody storms.

With the Zhenguan innovation once again on the right track, there are a few things to put on the agenda, the first is the Chang'an plague after the meritorious deeds, although the Chang'an plague did not cause too many casualties, but that is the result of the efforts of all the meritorious people, in order to block the epidemic area, Chang'an generals will do their best, will be guarded in all directions impermeable, the plague has never crossed the army blockade circle...... Of course, except for the densely populated areas of Chang'an, the sanitary conditions are better, and with Suning's advance warning, it is normal that there is no occurrence.

The generals who participated in the blockade were each rewarded, all of them were money and goods, and there was no reward for official titles, which made some people feel strange, but this was not a military merit, and it seemed understandable; Then the meritorious doctors of the Chang'an General Hospital, represented by Sun Simiao, went to the court to accept the reward and personal reception of Li Er's majesty, which was the first time that the doctor went to the court to spread quickly throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the status of the doctor was greatly improved invisibly.

However, there is still no reward for official titles and titles, and Sun Simiao, who has made the greatest contribution to the research of special drugs, has not received a knighthood reward. This makes everyone a little incomprehensible; In the end, Suning, who was in charge of Chang'an public security and proposed the epidemic prevention regulations, was also rewarded, as the first hero, and received a lot of money and goods rewards, but did not receive the rest of the rewards.

To say that this plague can be solved at the lowest cost, Suning and Chang'an General Hospital have made great contributions, and the plague that has spread so widely and has such a ferocious momentum at the beginning has only killed less than 10,000 people in the end, and the rest have all recovered. Another village. There are no special rewards, which is really unreasonable.

Just when the ministers were puzzled, Li Er Majesty threw a bombshell - the reform of the title system.

The reform of the title system was proposed at the beginning of the seventh year of Zhenguan, and the ministers responded well. They all think that this is an extra guarantee of security. Especially a group of national dukes. I thought so, but it has never been put into practice, this time. His Majesty Li Er finally issued a decree and ordered the reform of the Tang Dynasty title system, excluding the prince, the seventh-class title was expanded to the fifteenth-class title, the first-class title was the third-class baron, and the highest first-class title was the first-class duke, a total of fifteen ranks, the prince remained unchanged, so it was so, and immediately changed a number of meritorious services according to the original merits.

A group of important ministers of the Mesozoic Dynasty led by Li Shiji and Cheng Yanjin were all awarded second-class dukes, and the original name of the national duke remained unchanged, and the treatment was added to 30% as a reward; Suning was named a first-class marquis, and the treatment was increased by three percent to show the reward, Sun Simiao was named a third-class viscount, as a reward, and the eleven famous doctors with the greatest merit in the Chang'an General Hospital were rewarded with the third-class barons, which was the first time since the founding of the dynasty that the vassals were feudal, and a group of doctors were also brought with them.

There are very few people who have been awarded the title of first-class duke, either the old minister, or the merit is too great, or it is unbearable to drive, such as Li Jing, such as Qin Qiong, who was awarded the title of first-class duke, and the treatment was increased by half to show glory, everyone knew in their hearts that this was a special reward from the emperor to the ministers, the second-class duke, that is, he could still go up, and he could continue to make meritorious contributions, and it must be difficult to be a first-class duke.

This is a signal, once you are named a first-class duke, that is, the road of human ministers has reached the top, you can consider going to the military university to live a living in retirement, and the rest of the courtiers, continue to work hard, you still have a chance, there is still time.

The fifteenth-class title sub-feudal system has been supported by the ministers, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, Su Dingfang was named a second-class marquis, Xue Rengui was named a third-class baron, Meng Yu was named a third-class baron, and most of the rest of the people were awarded second-class and third-class titles, as for the first-class titles of each level, they are all considered to be the reserve army of the next level, for this, Suning was a little surprised, he thought that he should also be a second-class marquis, who knew that Li Erma Xià gave him a first-class marquis, that doesn't mean that the next step is to be a duke?

But this is a happy event, this is really a happy event, many ministers who were named second-class dukes rejoiced in their hearts, and there were many things to celebrate with Li Er's crown on their backs.

appeased the hearts of the ministers and appeased the hearts of the people, Li Ermajesty suddenly gained great prestige, and only then did he have the confidence to open a great change that had not been seen in a thousand years above the court, that is, education reform, and issued dozens of education reform decrees in one breath, and released a bold promise to set up a township school in every township in the Tang Dynasty within 20 years, called Mengxue; Each county has set up a county school and a primary school; Every state has a state school, a middle school; Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, set up the highest university, the Datang University of Political Science and Law, which is a government-run school.

Reform the imperial examination system, decentralize a large number of official titles, open the imperial examination every three years, write down all the positions that are needed, which position you are good at, which position you want to take, you can sign up directly, and specifically take the examination, once you are admitted, you can get this position, and the reference person can be as long as it is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and there are no other requirements.

This is an educational revolution, an educational revolution that affects tens of millions of years later, official education has not gradually become a scale until the Song Dynasty, and gradually formed, and before the Tang Dynasty, not to mention official learning, private learning is not prosperous, and the news of official learning came out, immediately stirred up a thousand waves, the people widely discussed, literati rushed to make speeches, discuss the feasibility of the measure, but in any case, no one objected to such a practice, the imperial court first sold books and paper, and then issued an educational reform order, reforming the imperial examination, which is a precursor to the great prosperity of cultural governance, The literati rejoiced.

Many literati have always thought that the Tang Dynasty is too strong, take the previous military university as an example, all of a sudden let the folk practice of martial arts flourish, the Tang Dynasty already attaches importance to the military, plus the imperial court attaches importance to and another literati road can not go, in this way, it is even more one-sided like martial arts and dislike of literature, and the imperial court overthrew the Shandong scholars, and sold books, set up official schools, reformed the imperial examination, and recruited talents, which is to promote the cultural governance, the omen of the balance of civil and military.

For this matter, there was a fierce debate in the court, everyone supported it, and some people did not dare to say it, this is a great merit, and after these things were done, everyone was supreme glory, everyone rushed to offer advice, and no one raised objections, but gradually, some people continued to raise questions, such as after the opening of the imperial examination, the number of scholars rejoiced, and the number of scholars soared, but who will be the teacher?

There is no shortage of books, no shortage of paper, no shortage of pen and ink, only a lack of teachers, people who can read are willing to be officials, and there are many people who are really willing to be teachers? (To be continued......)
