Chapter 422: What's in it for you

Cheng Yanjin looked at where Li Dongsheng was talking, and found that he had never seen his eldest nephew clearly, he seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, you could see where he was, but he could never get close to his heart.

"What the hell do you think, tell me?" Cheng Yanjin scratched his head and said to Li Dongsheng: "You explain it to me clearly, I am also down-to-earth, and I will support you when the time comes." ”

Li Dongsheng smiled: "What can I think, you all know that I am lazy and homely, I usually like to stay at home, and I just want to live my own life." But now that the family is aggressive towards me, I can only resist. ”

"What those families are most proud of is their education, so I will directly clean them up from the roots, let them know that literacy is nothing great at all, everyone can read, as long as everyone can read, then the foundation for the family to manipulate public opinion will not exist."

"What's in it for you? What's the use of having more people who know how to read? "Cheng Yanjin just can't figure out what benefits to Li Dongsheng from spending money and effort to run a school, running an education is a benefit, he is the beneficiary of the current Datang model, the last thing he wants is change, even if those families suppress the generals, he also thinks that it is a normal civil and military dispute!

But Li Dongsheng didn't want to come to this world once, and after he died, the people of the Central Plains would still return to a chaotic life, and they would be slaughtered by the barbaric steppe peoples in the future, so the key to changing this fate was to improve their literacy rate!

Why Germany and Japan were beaten in World War II, poor and white, basically bare-assed, but in a few decades, they patted their butts and got up, and became one of the world's leading powers, and he had only one answer, that is, excellent national quality!

This is the importance of primary education and universal education.

Li Dongsheng doesn't have that much energy for those national popular educations, but there is Cheng Yanjin's support here in Guangzhou, so you can still do it.

Because there is a huge demand in Guangzhou, after the establishment of the city, the transaction volume will definitely be larger and larger, and more and more people will be needed.

Now Li Dongsheng is preparing to set up such a school, starting with three majors, clerks, sailors and accountants.

The principle of the establishment of "this school" is to face the enrollment of ordinary people. Students enter the school, after graduation package distribution, these people after graduation in the port or ship employment, it does not take many years, the people see that they have high wages and good benefits, they will definitely be willing to send their children. Then these talents will gradually increase, and one day they will form a counterattack against the gate valve family.

The family gate valve is a thing that has been handed down for thousands of years, although they are rotten, but also a parasite that hinders social progress, but they also play a certain role in the cultural inheritance of China, it is simply unrealistic to use violence to eliminate them, in the real history, they are all wiped out by years of war and peasant uprisings.

The result of this is the sinking of Shenzhou and the displacement of the people, a consequence that Li Dongsheng does not want to see. Therefore, he engaged in movable type printing, compiled three-character classics, published newspapers, and now runs schools, all in order to open up the wisdom of the people and improve the quality of the people.

Slowly dissolving those families in the general trend of history is the general trend of history, and no one can stop it.

Cheng Yanjin listened to Li Dongsheng talk like this for a long time, and he didn't know what to do, he was also at such an age, why was my son a fool compared to him. He waved his hand solemnly: "Don't say it, you want to run a school, just do it, I can't help you in terms of money, the only thing I can do is to give you support, anyway, as long as I'm here, no one dares to stumble on you." ”

Gu Kui, the head of the Gu family, is already in his ear shun, and his thin face already has age spots, but he still looks elegant after being pampered for a long time.

He took the brewed tea from the maid's hand, took a sip, showed an aftertaste expression, and then the corner of his eyes lifted: "Now our Gu family really can't do sea trade?" ”

Seeing where he was still pretending, the elders next to him couldn't stand it.

A man who was about the same age as him Gu Kui said loudly: "What time is it now, family master, you can quickly say an opinion!" Now in Guangzhou Port, our Gu family has a bad reputation, where are more than a dozen disciples dying, those families who said that they would advance and retreat together with our family are desperately dissociating themselves one by one, kneeling and licking Li Dongsheng's child, the wicked people are all borne by our Gu family, where is the court discussing how to deal with our family, and now they are all in a hurry, do you still have the heart to drink tea? ”

Gu Kui waved his hand elegantly and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you still haven't made progress after so many years, your temper is still so anxious, our Gu family has been inherited in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, and we haven't seen any strong winds and waves." ”

Gu Si wanted to laugh at his brother's words, and he said anxiously: "Now that it is the life and death of the family, how can I not be in a hurry?" ”

He can't wait to let his eldest brother give up the position of patriarch to do it himself, just an ordinary person, but he is in the position of patriarch, he has no real ability, he will only talk about it, and the family has been defeated in his hands in the past few years.

Gu Si is an elder who is in charge of the family's industry, and now he is embattled, but his own patriarch is still leisurely and leisurely, and he doesn't take it to heart.

Gu Kui frowned, he was the patriarch, he actually spoke in this tone, it was too faceless, put down the teacup, he stared at Gu Sidao: "It's a dead cycle now, it's useless for us to explain, the family has already built momentum in Chang'an, just say that Li Dongsheng framed my Gu family for the sake of political achievements, and took the initiative to guide the pirates to attack the port of Guangzhou, as long as the water is muddy, then everyone will fight and drag it out." As for business matters, you won't just find someone to register, such a trivial matter is still in a hurry, there is no calm. ”

Gu Si was dumbfounded, bragging is not as blind as you are so closed, Li Dongsheng that guy is like a ghost, he will give you this loophole, we are talking about how to restore the family's reputation when it stinks, not how to get through this hurdle.

The patriarch didn't pay attention to him, so he could only say hatefully: "If you don't worry, I don't care." In the future, you find someone to do this errand, I can't do it! ”

Gu Si can't look down on it, other people's eyes are bright, the family business is a piece of fat, although it is not as good as before, but as long as it is done, it will definitely be better than the current life.

Gu Kui didn't even want to keep it, it's good for this guy to let him out, the sixth brother who has a good relationship with him has been thinking about his position for a long time, and said directly: "Since the fourth brother doesn't want to care, then you can take a rest first, let the sixth brother worry more about things, so be it!" ”
