The breakthrough point chosen by Li You is the merchant class.

Merchants were wealthy and could afford private education, and most of their children were well-educated. However, due to the suppression of merchants by the imperial court, their children did not have a way to advance to the official career.

The needs of the two hit it off, which just gave Li Shimin a breakthrough to break the monopoly of the gate valve clan education.

This matter will inevitably be opposed by the conservative forces and the gate valve clan group, and it is extremely important to do a good job of Xiao Qian and Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda is a representative figure of the power of Confucianism, advocating the feudal hierarchy and despising merchants in his bones.

After the end of the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties, women's foot binding was popular, and young men and women in ancient times were immersed in pig cages because of free love, which is difficult for modern people to understand. But for those people at that time, it was a righteous act and a maintenance of the dignity of social etiquette.

Improving the status of businessmen is equivalent to a change in social attitudes, and it is very difficult to change people's preconceived notions.

The plan put forward by Li You was implemented from the perspective of the general interests of the nation, and captured Kong Yingda's intoxication with spreading Confucianism. Kong Yingda is a righteous gentleman, he weighed the pros and cons and chose to support the attitude of the imperial court.

Xiao Gan's status is very special, he was born in a prestigious family, his wife and daughter-in-law (Xiao Wanyu's mother) were both born in the gate valve clan, he was an official of the former Sui, the prime minister of the Li Yuan era, and the current prime minister, and he has great influence in the gate valve clan, it can be said that he is an important bridge between Li Shimin and the gate valve clan.

Therefore, Xiao Qian's attitude is extremely important.

Xiao Qian is selfish, but he also stresses the general interests of the nation, worries about the country and the people, and after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he also chooses a supportive attitude.

What will be implemented is the first part of the Li You plan. And the entire overall plan is currently only known to Li Shimin, Li You and Gao Jingming.

After a period of full deliberation, the plan is about to begin.

In the afternoon of that day, Li You received a notice asking him to attend the court meeting tomorrow morning. Li You remembered Li Chengqian's request to inform him of something, so he came to the East Palace and asked to see Li Chengqian.

East Palace.

"The younger brother has seen the prince's brother." Li You saluted and said.

"Oh, fifth brother, don't be polite. You haven't been here for a few days. Come, sit down. Li Chengqian said enthusiastically.

After Li You sat down, the maid brought him tea and snacks. It seems that Li Chengqian remembered Li You's habit of being a foodie.

Li You was very happy, he had been riding for a long time, and he was a little hungry. He ate a few bites of dim sum and praised: "Big brother, the chef in your palace has made a lot of progress." ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "In addition to the meals sent by the imperial dining room, your sister-in-law has also found a few cooks to cook some food by herself." Not to mention, I also eat snacks a lot now, and I feel good. ”

"Hey, big brother, that's right, let me tell you, eating snacks is not only enjoyable, but also can reduce stress......" As soon as he talked about eating, Li You suddenly gushed endlessly.

Li Chengqian patiently listened to Li You's rambling for a while, then interrupted him and said, "Fifth brother, do you have anything to do today?" ”

"Well, big brother, that's right. Do you remember the incident of Xiao Servant shooting against his father? That's what I'm here for. Li You said.

Li Chengqian asked, "What's going on with this matter?" ”

Li You told Li Chengqian about the progress of this matter.

Li Chengqian was very happy, he was really happy, because of this matter, the eldest grandson Wuji had already greeted him and asked him to fully cooperate, he had been waiting for Li You to come to the door to talk about this matter.

"Come and see, Li You really supports me." Li Chengqian said in his heart.

Li You said: "Big brother, this matter is determined by the emperor, you have to give your full support." Father will remember your credit. ”

Li Chengqian was very moved, he was facing the pressure from Li Ke and Li Tai all day long, and he was a little out of breath. It's still that Li You has been helping him.

He said: "Fifth brother, don't worry, I will fully support my father in this matter." ”

Li You said: "Big brother, I think, it's better for you to drive this head." ”

Li Chengqian asked, "How do you say it?" ”

Li You said: "Tomorrow morning, you ...... like this"

Li Chengqian said: "Don't worry, I will arrange it." ”

"Big brother, then I'll take my leave, I'll go to my father's place and report to him what we discussed." As he spoke, he stood up.

"Okay, I'll send you." Li Chengqian also stood up and walked out with Li You.

This morning, a rare sunny day, was a good sign.

At the gate of the Taiji Palace, the ministers found that Li You suddenly appeared, and he and Yin Hongzhi were muttering, maybe what was wrong with him? !

The ministers were miserable by Li You because of the bet, and when they saw this guy, they immediately raised their vigilance.

Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Gao Yong and others were very excited, and hurriedly surrounded them, Hou Junji and Li Daozong usually didn't move around much with Cheng Yanjin and others, and when they saw them passing, they waited on the side.

Li You chatted with Cheng Yanjin and others for a while, and when he saw Hou Junji and Li Daozong, he went over to greet them.

Hou Junji glanced at the civil officials and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are you betting on today?" ”

Li You smiled: "I don't know, if there is a gambling game, you just follow the bet." ”

Li Daozong said with a smile: "The minister has been preparing for a long time, I don't know how much I can lose?" ”

The ministers cheered up, heightened their vigilance, and decided to see the direction of the wind.

Soon, the early dynasty began.

Several ministers said a few routine things, and Wei Zheng stood up. The ministers knew that the show had begun.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister also went to the Guozijian yesterday and saw that the situation inside was worrying. There are as many as 6 leaking rooms, and the yard is heavily waterlogged, so it's time to repair.

The minister agreed with Lord Xiao's opinion and asked the imperial court to allocate funds for maintenance. ”

"It's coming, it's really getting started." As soon as Wei Zheng's question with the smell of gunpowder came out, the spirits of the ministers immediately perked up.

The conflict between Xiao Qian and Li Shimin over this matter not long ago is still fresh in everyone's memory.

Gao Jingming immediately came out and said: "Lord Wei, the minister has announced the situation of the household department not long ago, there is no money, there is no way at present. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Since this is the case, then we have to find a way, we can't watch the students study in the leaky house, right?" ”

Yin Hongzhi asked, "Lord Wei, what do you say you should do?" ”

"Huh? This guy is out and is going to start digging again. "Everyone knows that this guy is in cahoots with Li You, he jumped out, you must be vigilant.

Wei Zheng said: "Since the imperial court is in difficulty, my generation can't watch the students suffer and ignore it, right?!"

I, Wei Zheng, am also a student, and I feel the same way. Although I am not rich, I am willing to donate 200 yuan, please donate generously. ”

"This ......" Don't look at the civilian officials who are usually full of mouths, they claim to love the country and the people, but they really let everyone pay for it, and they all shrank back one by one.

There was a cold scene in the court for a while.

"I'm against it." Someone said.

At this time, Li You stood up.
