This chat passed the morning unconsciously, and chatting was not a very physical thing. But when chatting becomes a display of knowledge points, it becomes a very brain-consuming thing.

And the three old men plus an emperor, of course, their chat can't just be just a simple Lala. Their chat summarized the country's topographical changes, cultural differences, management systems, as well as policy changes and future developments.

When all of these things are integrated into the chat, a simple chat is actually almost like a meeting report. Especially when Li Zhanji, the emperor, is here, chatting like this is really not much different from the report of the Standing Committee.

But even if this kind of chat is full of knowledge points, and if you miss a little, you can't understand it at all or even be confused, Li Xie can still interject from time to time, and you can see how powerful he is.

Li Zhanji's chat has a wide range, from people's livelihood to folk music, from the country to the family, and the three old people are talking about mental malaise. But Li Zhanji himself feels that his state has never been better.

Especially when he saw Li Xie sitting next to his knees, getting along like a father and son in an ordinary people's family, Li Zhanji could always feel happy from the bottom of his heart, so the more he chatted this day, the more interested he became.

However, when the topic became deeper and deeper, and when it came to how the family could deal with it, the three old men couldn't help but be shocked. Not only because this topic is too heavy and difficult, but also because it is something they have been fighting for for half their lives.

When Li Zhanji talked about this, he also knew that he had made an old mistake. Questions like this are commonplace, but there are no new tricks, and there are only a few ways to go back and forth, but none of them work.

Just as he was about to change the topic, Li Xie suddenly interjected:

"What's so hard about that? The strength of the family is nothing more than two aspects, one is that there are too many peasants who depend on him, and as long as the state lowers the agricultural tax, it will naturally break away from their wings and return to the management of the state.

The second aspect is that most of the people in the family have studied since childhood, and they have seen more than ordinary people. The imperial court has no choice but to use talents. In response to this, it is actually very easy to do, isn't it a big deal to open an academy now? Why don't we open the academy to all corners of the country?

Why is the opening of the academy only for those with foundation? We can start teaching from Meng Xue XVII, and teach until we show talents, raise people, and even teach directly until we graduate and become officials. ”

"The stinky boy doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, do you know that the current tax country is overspending its income and overdraft every year. And how can we afford to reduce taxes? Holding an academy sounds good, please teacher, which one of the construction schools does not cost a lot of money? Where does the overhead come from? ”

Chen Pingqing was the first to stand up and refute that he was the first to implement the establishment of the academy. He didn't want to start teaching since he was a Mongolian student, but is the cost of holding such an academy affordable in the current country?

The two solutions proposed by Li Xie are very targeted. With such a simple and targeted decision, haven't you thought of doing it? No, don't talk about others, just the three old men have thought of it.

But after such a method came out, they would be thrown out of their heads immediately, and they knew very well that what Li Xie said was indeed very pertinent. If it can really be done like this, it is indeed a very simple matter to deal with the family.

But the problem is that such an approach simply does not work, and the state's finances simply do not allow such an approach to work.

Liu Zuxiang: "Xiao Xie, these methods you said are a bit too taken for granted, you ......"

Before Liu Zuxiang finished speaking, Li Zhanji raised his hand and stopped him from continuing:

"Boy, some things are easy to say, but not necessarily easy to do. The tax reduction you mentioned and the establishment of an academy seem simple, but if you were to do it, would you really be able to do it? If nothing else, there must be a large number of books to host the academy. Where do you get these books from? ”

Li Zhanji This is another temptation, and his contradictory character is now revealed. He only hoped that his son could answer the question. And I don't want this son of mine to answer this question.

I hope that the reason for Li Xie's answer will not need to be said, if he really answers, it will be greatly beneficial to the country and the people.

The reason why I didn't want him to answer was that I wanted to be able to completely die to Li Xie through this time. So he made up his mind to let him live an ordinary life in the future.

"Books? What's so hard about that? Isn't it okay to print? Of course, Li Xie knows that the current printing technology is not enough to hold the academy at all.

Nowadays, printing technology is still in the stage of engraving printing, and an article has to be engraved with an engraving. Carving the carved plate is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has to be re-engraved if you are not careful.

Moreover, the durability of the engraved engraving plate is not high and it is easy to be damaged, and it must be re-engraved after damage, which can really be said to be time-consuming and laborious, and the result is half the effort.

But it doesn't matter, engraving printing has already come out, so will movable type printing be far away? In fact, the technology of movable type printing is not much different from that of block printing. The real difference is just in their flexibility.

Engraving printing is directly engraved into an article, while movable type printing only engraving one word, and then one word at that moment can be composed of an article.

Among them, the technological progress is very large, but the technical content is really not at all.

"Huh! Printing! Li Zhanji laughed softly, he didn't have to worry about it now. From Li Xie's answer, Li Xie has basically been sentenced to death.

Li Zhanji's expectation for Li Xie is to inherit his position, and Li Xie's current understatement is now finished, which is simply unrealistic on paper.

If Li Xie is now an emperor, it is not only time-consuming and laborious for him to issue such an order, it is simply a joke about the future of a country.

Don't think about the cost, don't think about the technology, don't think about the feasibility of a thing. A future heir to an emperor cannot make such a lowly mistake.

"Master Li doesn't seem to believe it? I don't think I can print so many books. Of course, Li Xie heard Li Zhanji's low muttering, and naturally he also heard the disappointment in his muttering. However, Li Xie did not feel inappropriate because of this, but felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

After chatting for so long, Lao Tzu sat next to you and sat in a low voice for so long, there is finally a topic that you are interested in.

"Stinky boy, do you know how much it costs to print such a number of books? To print such a secretary, I'm afraid you have to hollow out the country. You're good at management, not advice, so don't brag about the hayplug here. ”

Liu Zuxiang hurriedly scolded after Li Xie said such a thing.

"How is it possible to spend so much money? Generally, the cost of paper used in a 50-page book is always a dollar, plus some printing costs and labor, at most two dollars. This is still the algorithm when there is less printing, and if you have to adapt more, I'm afraid you won't even need the usual half of the money.

If the number is large, the state will certainly not be able to afford it for a while, but if the time is prolonged, two to three years, it will not be difficult to print these books. ”

Li Xie knew in his heart that what he was talking about was only the premise of movable type printing technology. As for the lack of movable type printing technology, I am afraid that ten yuan may not be able to print such a book.

"Bastards talk on paper, don't know how to pretend to understand, how can printing books be as simple as you say?" After Li Zhanji was completely disappointed in Li Xie, he completely regarded him as one of his sons, a son who was just an ordinary person.

So the tolerance has increased, although this is scolding, but there is a trace of relief and a smile in the words. There is no need to sway from side to side, the inner conflict is not there, Li Zhanji really feels that his whole person is a lot easier. The problem that has plagued me for two or three days has been completely solved at this moment.
