Chapter 164: Find a backer
"If literate people want to be gentlemen, that's fine. The old man has a good friend who used to work as a teacher, and his desire is also to spread his knowledge. But the result? The students who have been taught have either entered the big family and become lackey-like figures, or they have become assistants or staff members of businessmen, in short, few can settle down and continue to teach. ”
If you send it up, you will send it, and Li Chengqian has no intention of going to the court.
After going to the court twice, I know that the quality of these courtiers is worrying.
The story of Zhuge Liang's tongue and the group of Confucians sounds enthusiastic, but when translated into the vernacular, it is to quarrel with a large group of old men, and the quarrel wins.
After seeing the unlucky appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian lost interest in the previous dynasty. is young, although he is in the position of the prince, but he is really not afraid of anything when he is old.
In the court of Zhenguan, the emperor will never prevent the courtiers from speaking freely, as long as you feel that you are reasonable, you can say it casually. If you say that you have said others, you will win, and only when the two houses are evenly matched, the emperor will make a decision as an arbitrator.
It's hard to reconcile, no matter which dynasty it is. The emperor, as the arbiter, can only make decisions to protect the interests of the majority, or to protect the interests of his own people.
If you don't go to the court, you don't need to leave the palace, so you can only come to Chongwen Hall.
The two exchange points have now expanded to four, and He Shou and Yu Qiusheng are still very capable.
Listening to Yu Shinan's words, Li Gang sighed and said: "How can the old man not know this, but the reason why these people join others is nothing more than for money. The teaching gentleman is poor, how can he bind them. However, since our academy is held by the East Palace, there is naturally no shortage of money. When the time comes, Mr. Ren's salary will be given from the thick. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Yu Shinan turned to Li Chengqian, stroked his beard and asked, "The old man was very curious before, how can you have the ability of Tao Zhugong at a young age?" His Majesty promised to ignore the finances of the East Palace, but now he is complaining, who would have thought that this locust plague alone would send 70,000 or 80,000 copper coins to the treasury? ”
Li Chengqian arched his hand and said modestly: "Mr. Yu praised it falsely, but it is just a means to buy and sell in the east market, and it is nothing." However, the matter of the academy, the disciples have some ideas, why don't we sum them up? ”
Although Yu Shinan is also a nobleman with a knight, he, like Li Gang, also hopes to spread his knowledge to the world.
Hearing that Li Chengqian had an idea, he arched his hand playfully: "The old man wants to listen to His Highness's opinions." ”
Li Chengqian smiled, leaned back on the two old gentlemen with a chair, and then said: "If our college wants to be established, the source of students is not a problem, and Mr. Li Shishuo is not a problem. With me, money isn't an issue. But the biggest problem is that if our academy wants to gain a foothold, we must also be wary of the deterrence of the family. ”
The previous series of "not a problem" also made the two old gentlemen breathe a sigh of relief, but the last one made them frown.
That's right, if the academy wants to be established, the most important thing to be wary of is the family.
These great families have been able to continue to the present, and there is no shortage of wise people in their clans. The academy was established, the scholars of the poor families had a place to study, and the imperial court also had a new choice, which was bound to threaten their status. And those who threaten their transcendent status will definitely bear their severe blows.
Yu Shinan sighed, and Li Gang also learned from Yu Shinan just now, and jokingly arched his hand towards Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you going to be safe?" "Mobile.. /
After getting along for so long, Li Gang knows very well that Li Chengqian is the master who does not see rabbits and eagles, and since he has said this problem, there must be a solution.
Li Chengqian smiled, returned the salute, and then opened his mouth in the curious eyes of the two old gentlemen: "Why don't we go in the Chongwen Pavilion, and then face the court to recruit another student, how about it?" ”
The two of them only understood what Li Chengqian meant after a little thought, and Yu Shinan smiled: "You mean, to use the power of those new nobles in the court?" ”
Li Gang also nodded.
In this way, maybe they are really not afraid of the blows of the famous families, or in other words, the famous families should not dare to attack the academy.
The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is the key system of the Tang Dynasty, and on the basis of it, there is also the aristocratic system. has a title, and has no title, which can be called one in the blue sky and one on the ground. Since the founding of the country, those who have been awarded knighthoods, especially those with stable status, even if the family population is small, also have the basic conditions for forming a large family. Because of this, they can be seen as the prototype of a small family, a large family.
The five surnames and seven wangs do not have titles, and what maintains their transcendent status is learning, land, and the so-called pure bloodline. They don't have a formal title, so they can only rely on marrying their daughters to win over some sons-in-law with titles to support them. Fang Xuanling is just one of them.
As scholars, although the five surnames and seven hopes have a transcendent status and are very rich, they do not offend the courage of all the emerging nobles. It doesn't take much, as long as these people studying in the Chongwen Hall are the first batch of students of the academy, the academy will have an absolutely stable backing. The quality of this backer can even surpass that of the emperor in a sense.
After all, the five surnames had the courage to confront the emperor, but they didn't have the guts to offend a large number of nobles.
Li Gang, who thought about this clearly, praised Li Chengqian with a smile: "It's not bad, I thought of the most important point." Being able to think of this means that you have a very open view of human feelings. If it weren't for the food in your East Palace, it would be no problem for you to leave the school now. ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, where is the disciple, and I still expect you to give me more advice." ”
Reaching out and patting Li Chengqian's shoulder, Li Gang laughed to himself.

After the locust plague, disaster reporting in various places is still the top priority. For the first time since its establishment, the Red Feather Envoy has been driven to gallop around the land of Guanzhong like a donkey.
Now the busiest is the household and the military department, Longyou has been ripe for two consecutive years, but the grain in this place alone is difficult to reassure, or it is necessary to mobilize some grain in Shannan Road, Hedong Road and Henan Province nearby. In addition to the grain transfer, there are also reports on the wandering of the Chinese people. In any case, the imperial court had to have an understanding of the floating population of each state capital.
As for the military department, it is a headache for the affairs of the Eastern Turks and the Liang State.
The play can't be played for too long, so now it can almost be confirmed that Jieli and Tuli did fight, and the fight was still fierce.
But the snipe and the clam competed, and the Tang monarch, the fisherman on the boat, became interested in the small fry near the two.
Liang Shidu!
