Chapter 162: South of the City
Several people stopped and stopped, and the robbery incidents encountered on the road were endless, but all those who knew how to read and write were robbed by others. Li Shimin was happy in the face of the lively scene, and frowned again: "There are still few scholars in the Tang Dynasty, look at it, those are all seventy or eighty years old and still being scrambled by a group of people, and they have to find a way to get more readers." ”
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Don't worry, the major families are also bothered by this matter now, not only paying close attention to the studies of the children in the family, but also building a large number of private schools in the fiefdom and recruiting a large number of children from poor families." Especially in Jiangnan Xiaojia, the newly built private schools are almost all over the big cities and small counties of Jiangnan Province, but anyone under the age of 30 can observe self-study outside the house, and those under the age of 20 can study after paying tuition fees appropriately. All children under the age of 13 must be enrolled in school, and all expenses will be reimbursed by the Xiao family. ”
Wei Zheng frowned and said: "Such a move is very expensive, does his Xiao family have an ulterior secret?" ”
Li Shimin smiled, the Xiao family dared to do this because they listened to literary and artistic suggestions, and Xiao Jing and Xiao Yu also specially reported to him before the implementation. explained at the moment: "I already know about this matter, Xiao Jiakai's private school is divided into two kinds, one is the basic education for children under the age of 13, mainly Confucianism, ideological education, and arithmetic. There are 30 people in each class, and three gentlemen are in charge, mainly to cultivate the future national building materials, and the requirements for Mr. and students are extremely high. Young children over the age of 6 must be enrolled in school, complete all coursework within 7 years, and be admitted to Guozijian or Lanxiang College at the age of 13 to continue their studies. ”
Wei Zheng reminded: "In this way, wouldn't these scholars who had received the favor of the Xiao family all stand on the side of the Xiao family when they enter the court in the future?" At that time, the formation of gangs between the DPRK and China will definitely be serious, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Li Shimin was waiting to explain, Du Ruhui said in advance: "Brother Xuancheng is worry-free, but anyone who opens a private school must increase the subject of ideological education, this subject mainly teaches people to be honest and trustworthy, loyal to the monarch and patriotism. ”
Li Shimin also smiled and nodded, people of insight in the future have established the idea of loyalty and patriotism since childhood, what can be more reassuring than these people? What's more, it's not just the Xiao family that is doing this, the five surnames and Qiwang are now vigorously cultivating talents, and the number of the most benefited Hanmen disciples is far greater than the children of their clan, and the court will only become more and more balanced at that time, and there will be no such thing as the Xinxiang family that Wei Zheng is worried about. At that time, Wei Zheng's thinking was too conservative, and his family had not made any moves so far, it seemed that he wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him, but he couldn't waste this golden signboard in vain.
A few people talked and laughed, turned the Yanxing Gate and walked towards the Qixia Gate in the south of the city. The recruitment in the east of the city is lively and orderly, with a trace of the stability of the literati, and the recruitment in the south of the city is much more chaotic.
Because the east of the city is close to the palace in the north, the recruitment site is located between the Chunming Gate and the Yanxing Gate in the south, and the recruitment in the south of the city is much larger, the three gates of Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate and Qixia Gate are crowded with people coming and going, and the liveliness is still more than that of the east and west cities. Li Shimin strode forward with high spirits, and the steady Wei Zheng frantically glanced at the secret guards hiding nearby, for fear that this Ninety-Five Supreme would have an accident in this mixed place. Li Shimin's personal guard Qin Wu was also suddenly in his heart, and hurriedly instructed a few of his subordinates to follow closer.
Li Shimin stuffed a leaflet when he saw a small guy on the road, and read in his mouth: "Dugu's family recruits supervisors, and the monthly money is four taels!" Then he stepped forward and prepared to take a copy and take a look. But who knew that the little guy looked at him and ignored him, and continued to launch leaflets for others. Li Shimin's temper became angry at once, and he pulled the little guy and said, "You don't have long eyes, don't you want one if you don't see it?" Why ignore me? ”
The little guy was not annoyed, and saluted Li Shimin and said with a smile: "The little ones recruited here are all ordinary overseers, and the work is tiring and dirty. Seeing that you are a big man, how can you do such a job? So I didn't give it to you, since Childe wanted it, take one of them. After speaking, he stuffed one to Li Shimin and continued: "If this son has nothing to do, he will continue to be busy." Li Shimin waved his hand and looked at the leaflet, and the little guy continued his leaflet task.
Li Shimin looked at the leaflet carefully, and saw that there was no text on it, and a picture above was drawn with a person on the left, and four pieces of money on the right, with an equal sign in the middle. Below is a simple topographical map of the place, with a striking dot in the middle that should be the recruitment office of the house.
Li Shimin grabbed the little guy again and asked: "The leaflet in the east of the city clearly states the work tasks and salary, why do you only have two simple paintings in this leaflet?" ”
The little guy smiled and said: "Childe doesn't know, the east of the city recruits all talented people, and most of the people we recruit here are illiterate people, if you write words, few people can understand it, it is better to make the pictures simple and clear." ”
Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, and took this leaflet for the eldest grandson Wuji and others to see. After everyone finished reading it, he folded the leaflet in his arms and continued to walk forward, but there was a trace of sadness in his expression. The crowd was speechless, not knowing why a leaflet could cause the Supreme to be saddened. The boss didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for them to ask, so they had to follow silently.
Just when a few people were wandering around, a young man with a thief head and a thief leaned up, and the spirit of the surrounding secret guards was instantly tense, but when he saw that this guy had a trace of misconduct, he rushed up and took it down!
This person leaned over to Li Shimin and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what this noble man is called?" Are you here to recruit workers? ”
Li Shimin saw that he was very displeased, so he snorted softly, but the man introduced himself: "Little Zhao Dezhu, he used to be a gangster in the south of the city, but that was also forced by life. The small one has long since changed its past, and now it is the consultant of the 'Fortune Employment Agency', and you can find what kind of talent you want. ”
Li Shimin became interested: "Then you introduce who you are." ”
Zhao Dezhu immediately gushed endlessly: "A down-and-out scholar, a strong man who can build a martial art, a mason who can build walls, a carpenter who can build a house, a blacksmith who can strike iron, even a famous craftsman in Crooked Willow Village can introduce it to you." ”
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I need a great talent who can talk about the past and the present, and a warrior who can fight well, you may find it?" ”
Zhao Dezhu suddenly deflated and said, "Son, aren't you embarrassed to be a villain?" Now that Nengwen participates in the Wenju and Nengwu participates in the Wuju, all these talents you said have returned to the imperial court, how can the small ones help you find them? ”
Li Shimin said: "The heroes of the world are all in my place!" After speaking, he patted Zhao Dezhu's shoulder and floated away.
Zhao De was stunned for a long time before he reacted, obediently! It's really shit luck today, couldn't it be His Majesty who patted him on the shoulder just now? Who would dare to say this but the rest of the people? Deng Shi trembled with excitement, looked at the left shoulder that was patted, and secretly decided to keep this dress properly and pass it on to future generations, this is the clothes that His Majesty has touched! It's got dragon gas on it!
Li Shimin looked at his wrist and it was already a quarter of noon, and beckoned a few followers to take the lead in coming to a mutton soup stall, and each of them ordered a bowl of fragrant mutton soup and ate it deliciously.
Flipping through the leaflets on the table, looking at the unique sketches on them, Li Shimin took one of each copy and folded it and put it in his arms. Fang Xuanling couldn't help it, and couldn't help asking, "Why did Gongzi put away these flyers?" Isn't there anything wrong with these leaflets? ”
Li Shimin shook his head with a smile: "No, the Tang Dynasty was first established, and there are still many people in the world who are illiterate and live in ignorance." These leaflets are the representatives of this era, I collect them to spur myself, the cause of education still has a long way to go, I can't wait to be lazy! ”
Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but salute solemnly: "We are willing to do our best to let that day come as soon as possible!" ”
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Low-key, low-key, don't expose your identity." After speaking, he glanced around, and saw that there was nothing unusual about the diners around him.
