Chapter 367: Great Reform (Second Update)

The matter of the eldest grandson Anye is an accident in the eyes of outsiders.

But Li Chengqian didn't think so, he even felt that an underworld force was attacking him, although he was a little uneasy, he was more excited, he was afraid that they would not come, and he would ensure that they would not come back.

It's like the eldest grandson Anye was taught a hard lesson by Xue Rengui, and he didn't dare to squeak. That's how much you come and how much you eat!

That night, Li Chengqian ordered everyone to finish counting the wine, which was accurate to the range of one or two.

After Li Chengqian handed over this matter to his own people, he went to sleep, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also returned safely. Everything is calm again.

Until noon the next day, Wei Zheng came to look for him.

This time, he was still sad.

It can be said that from the beginning to the present, there has not been a single time that has been easy. Because they are doing something that no one has done before, the difficulty factor of things is very high.

Therefore, Wei Zheng also came over from time to time to ask Li Chengqian.

"Wei Zheng, what are you doing?"

Li Chengqian asked head-on.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, 200,000 copies of our newspaper have been printed, and all of them have been distributed in one hour."

Newspapers are popular, not bad!

"That's a good thing, that's why you're like that?"

Wei Zheng changed his words and said:

"But people don't seem to be willing to reform the imperial examinations! At this time, we visited a lot of people, and the willingness of the people was very low, and they seemed to be afraid. ”

Li Chengqian thinks it's wrong, shouldn't people raise their hands in favor?

How can you not be willing? There must be a reason for that!

So he asked:

"What is the main reason?"

Wei Zhengdao:

"The poor want to reform, they want to get ahead, but the lord doesn't want to! They had no control and had to listen to the arrangement of the master's family, and this type of person was the most numerous, so the imperial examination did not cause much effect. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian seemed to understand what was going on.

It turned out to be on the household registration system of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, household registration was divided into "household number" and "non-household number", and "household number" was "good people", free people;

"Non-Households" are "untouchables", such as craftsmen, musicians, handymen, slaves, etc. Untouchables are not eligible to be single-handed, and can only share a household account with the main family, which is a household registration book in the modern sense.

"Slaves and maids are sluts, similar to livestock", and this system is inherited in a hereditary way, once born in a lowly family, never turn over and climb high branches.

The household registration system of the Tang Dynasty divided the hierarchical order of feudal society to the extreme.

When the household registration system arrived in the Song Dynasty, it can be said that it entered an unprecedented era of freedom. After five generations of fighting, the gate valve clan collapsed, and the people no longer had the distinction between good and low, and all of them were restored to free people. After abandoning the system of "good people" and "untouchables", it was replaced by "fangguo households" and "rural households", that is, the division between urban and rural households.

And most people do not have independent households, so they rely on the main family to survive, and when they leave the main family, they cannot move an inch, because wherever they go, they will be checked. How to go about the imperial examination? Not even a free man, you have to look at people's faces everywhere.

This situation is more obvious in the five major families, so they can control a large number of people and prevent them from studying to change their fate, and that is precisely because they control the hukou of these people.

Some time ago, they began to recruit people on a large scale, signed contracts, and defined more people as untouchables, so that they could not go to school, and their intentions can be described as very sinister.

This is a problem of the system of the dynasty, and if this system is not changed, there is basically no way to carry out educational reform, because only some people have books to read, and others still have no way to read.

Therefore, Li Chengqian had the idea that he might be able to carry out the issue of reforming household registration.

"In this case, it looks like some reform is going to be needed."

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Wei Zheng knew that this matter was not simple, every time Li Chengqian made a move, he was very murderous, and this time it must be the same.

Without waiting for him to finish, Ouyang Xun and Shangguan Yi hurriedly arrived.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The arrival of the two is probably because of this incident.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yi said:

"There are less than 300 students who signed up today, which is different from what we expected to be about 5,000!"

If there are not tens of thousands of people, then this exam, more than half of them will be eliminated, then there are only about 100 people, and 236 teachers need to be used to teach? Isn't that laughing off people's big teeth?

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian knew that these were synchronous, what Wei Zheng said had a certain reference value, while Ouyang asked the two of them to be more specific.

Ouyang Xun continued: "Some people were driven away by the patrol because they had no household registration problems, and some were directly dragged into prison. No one dares to come now! ”

"What! They dare to drag people from the king's school to prison! Pipe Lux, give me the order to release them! If not, let Xing Guogong assist! Let's just say I said it! ”

Li Chengqian said very angrily.

When necessary, it is also necessary to use the upper room Xuanling.

Be!

He knew that these patrols were the management of the entire Chang'an's public security issues, so the highest level of these patrols was the Ministry of War, and there was only one person in the Ministry of War who was against him, that is, Shangshu Li Xiaochang, so he had reason to know that this matter had nothing to do with him.

But as far as the public is concerned, this guy is impartial in enforcing the law, and there is no favoritism.

He can fish people out, but he can't stop them from arresting people again, and if he wants to reform education to the entire Tang Dynasty in the future, there will be thousands of people who will be locked up, how can he fish?

All this has to come from the source, and it is not something that can be achieved by defeating a Li Xiaochang.

He thought to himself, good Li Xiaochang, dare to stop Lao Tzu's reform, remember to Lao Tzu, and your military department will be completely useless! Look at Lao Tzu and don't punish you!

But then he decided:

"Let's go, let's go to the academy!"

"Yes!"

At least don't let these people ruin their reputation in the early stage. First recruited full of students, these people are the first time he reformed the imperial examination system trial and error stones, can only be right, can not fail!

When he went out, he met Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, who were arranged by him to Fengtang Commercial Bank, and they were coming to catch up in the future.

The two seemed to have something, but before they could say anything, they were interrupted by him.

He said: "Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baolin, the two of you put on civilian clothes and go to the school with me!" Be quick! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what's going on?"

Cheng Chumo looked dazed, and Wei Chi Baolin was even more so.

The two didn't know what was going on, and Li Chengqian was gone.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, wait, we ...... it" to read the latest chapter of the "Tang God-level Prince Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
