In the early years of Zhenguan, schools in the Tang Dynasty were divided into official and private schools. Government credits are for central and local schools. In Chang'an, it is called Guoxue, the state capital is called Zhouxue, and the county is called County Xue.

The Chinese culture of Chang'an mainly refers to the six schools under Guozijian, the astronomy of Si Tiantai, the medicine of the Taibu Department, the Bu Ce of the Taibu Department, the veterinary medicine of the Taibu Temple, the Hongwen Hall of Menxia Province and the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace. These schools are funded by the central government.

After Xiao Gan was reinstated, he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and Culture, Education, and Public Health, and after continuous rainfall, he received reports from his subordinate departments that the houses of various colleges and universities were old and in disrepair for many years, and that many houses had leaked rain.

The drainage system on campus has also been blocked, and there are many large areas of water, which seriously affects normal teaching activities.

This has been the case for a long time.

The Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty was taken over from the Sui Dynasty and was originally called Daye City. Chang'an City became the capital of the Tang Dynasty after war, and it was originally a little dilapidated.

Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has successively experienced the pacification of the rebel forces formed at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the war with the Eastern Turks, and the recent war with Tuyuhun, coupled with various natural disasters, and the economic development has not made much progress.

Due to the shortage of funds, the annual funds allocated by the household department can only be used for repairs, and the school buildings and other hardware facilities are old and backward.

After receiving the report, Xiao Qian personally went to these schools to inspect them, and the old man was very distressed when he saw the pitiful appearance of the students. He was determined to completely improve the teaching conditions, so he carried out a school renovation and expansion plan, which required an investment of 250,000 yuan.

Xiao Qian put forward this proposal in the early court, and those officials who were born as students expressed their support, but Gao Jingming said that the household department had no money, so let the old man overcome it again.

The old man remembered the jewels that Li You gave to Li Shimin, and asked Li Shimin to take out the money.

Li Shimin's jewels were sold for 210,000 yuan through the Xishi Equalization Bureau, and he had already promised the inner government to repair the palace, and part of the money had already been allocated to the Ministry of Works.

Xiao Qian didn't do it, saying that his house had not been repaired and was leaking, but he was not ready to repair it.

He quoted scriptures and scriptures, and talked about ten carriages, asking His Majesty to take care of the students first, and donate the money used to repair the palace first.

The harem concubines have long been dissatisfied with the old harem, but Li Shimin understands the difficulties of the country and has not repaired it. Before Xiao Qian proposed to use the money, Li Shimin agreed to the concubines in the harem.

Besides, as an emperor, Li Shimin has done a very good job. The amount of the palace's expenses was prescribed by law, and Li Shimin never took an extra penny from the household department, on the contrary, he often made donations in a thrifty manner.

This time, it was not easy for his son to come up with a sum of money, if he was voluntary, it would be fine, but he was forced by Xiao Gan, the old guy, to donate out, and he was not happy, and he couldn't get over his face.

As a result, Li Shimin did not pay attention to Xiao Qian's request.

Xiao Qian continued to insist on his opinion, and said that although he was not rich, he would donate 10,000 yuan, and asked Li Shimin to donate the money.

At this time, Li Shimin felt deeply embarrassed.

If this money is not donated, it will be criticized by the students, saying that Li Shimin only cares about his own enjoyment and does not support the education of the imperial court.

If you donate it, the harem concubines will be disappointed, and Li Shimin will also complain. They have a large number of officials behind them, they will be dissatisfied with Xiao Qian, and there will inevitably be turmoil in the court.

Li Shimin is broad-minded and able to tolerate people, and this is the main reason why the ministers dare to criticize Li Shimin's shortcomings and a group of ministers like Wei Zheng who dare to give direct advice can appear.

I have to say that at this time, the atmosphere in the court is still very positive. The struggle between the princes is only a branch in the good atmosphere of the imperial court, and it is not enough to affect the overall situation of the imperial court.

It was in such a political atmosphere that the rule of Zhenguan was realized.

Gao Jingming understood Li Shimin's difficulties and wanted Li You to find a way, but Li You refused.

Gao Jingming understood that Li You was already bleeding heavily for the sake of Tuguhun, so he was not reluctant.

Yin Hongzhi told Li You this because he couldn't get used to Xiao Qian, a stubborn old man, and wanted Li You to help Li Shimin deal with him. However, he didn't mention to Li You that he had courted for him.

To be honest, Li You is really lazy to care about such a thing, as soon as he believes in Li Shimin's ability, this little thing can't help his wise and martial father.

Second, let him solve it, I'm afraid it will ruin the money. Last time Tuyuhun happened, he still owed Hamid a lot of money.

This kind of thankless work is not something that a quiet foodie should do.

Li You smiled and said: "Uncle, these things have nothing to do with our money, so it doesn't matter what he does." Let's try the new varieties of ice cream I've studied. ”

Yin Hongzhi thought about it and felt that Li You made sense, so he stopped mentioning the matter.

After the rain, the sky did not clear, and the continuous rainy weather made people feel bored.

Shaw House.

Xiao Wanyu is accompanying her grandfather to enjoy the poetry collection published by Li Tai. When she finished reciting the poem of the Poetry Competition, Xiao Qian asked, "What do you think of this poem?" ”

Xiao Wanyu praised: "The overall situation of this poem is magnificent, but the subtleties are meticulously crafted, the general trend and the subtleties reflect each other, the balance is opposite, the rhyme is exquisite, it is indeed a good poem." ”

Xiao Qian asked, "Do you have an impression of this?" ”

Xiao Wanyu remembered the scene of that day, and had a certain impression of that leader, that young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance and temperament were very good. He was wearing a blue coat and hat, and he was supposed to be the son of a grassroots official.

She nodded and said, "There are still some impressions." ”

Xiao Qian said: "This son is a famous talent in Luoyang, both civil and military, and his ambitions are quite high. He is actually a noble son, but he refuses to take advantage of the shadow of his ancestors to act steadily and low-key.

For example, when he participated in the poetry competition this time, he participated in the competition under his false name as the son of a seven-grade official, passed all the way, and finally achieved a good ranking on the list.

Such a young man is really admirable. ”

Xiao Wanyu suddenly heard the meaning of the strings.

It turned out that this person's name was Changsun Ming, and he was the eldest grandson of Sun Shunde, the governor of Luoyang, the Duke of Xue Guo. He is 18 years old this year, originally studied in Luoyang Guozijian, his father asked someone to find Xiao Qian to propose to Xiao Wanyu, after being rejected by Xiao Wanyu, he was not convinced, and specially incognito, and came to Chang'an by seeing the poetry club, just to see her.

The eldest grandson Ming is a talent, very talented, and does a good poem, he passed all the way from the Luoyang competition area to the title of the leader in this poetry competition.

That day, at the poetry competition, Xiao Wanyu's beautiful appearance, elegant temperament and extraordinary talent deeply impressed this son. He secretly made up his mind to start his pursuit of Xiao Wanyu.

Now, he simply stayed in Chang'an and entered Chang'an Guozijian to study.

Sure enough, Xiao Qian said: "Yu'er, last time, the eldest grandson Shunde sent someone to propose marriage, but if you don't want to, I didn't agree to him."

However, I didn't say anything to death, I said to think about it again, and I left a living mouth.

Now, you've seen them in person, and you're impressed, and if you're willing, I'll say yes. ”

Xiao Wanyu had already developed a good impression of Li You at this time, and the eldest grandson Ming was naturally not in her consideration. She immediately said: "Grandpa, Yu'er doesn't like him like that, you can reject him directly." ”

Xiao Qian likes the eldest grandson, and he was about to persuade his granddaughter when Xiao Dongchang walked in.

After the salute, Xiao Dongchang said, "Father, why do you have to force Your Majesty to donate that money?" ”
