After eating and sleeping all the way, Wei Zheng finally returned to Chang'an.

This time, it is about the ministers who impeached the king of Shu, Li Su, and on the other side is the king of Shu, Li Su.

For this reason, Li Shimin specially prepared a great court.

In the early dynasties, Wei Zheng made a report to Taizong Li Shimin on this matter.

"Emperor Qi, after Weichen came to Yizhou, he found that the people of Yizhou, in the fields, after laboring, many people were holding a book in their hands to read."

The book recited is called the Three Character Sutra, which is a book that Wechen has never heard of. In addition to the three-character classic, there are also 100 family names and 1,000-character texts. Wechen once asked them why they were studying. Their answer was—"

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations."

Hearing these words, the entire court couldn't help but be quiet.

Because, these few words turned out to be from a country people.

And these few words, even if they are the group of ministers above the court, may not be able to sum it up.

I didn't expect that in Yizhou, a random farmer would be able to say such in-depth words.

At this time, Wang Xin couldn't help but stand up and question: "These four sentences, deafening, can be said to be a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, how can an ordinary village villager say it?" ”

Hearing Wang Xinde's questioning, Wei Zheng said disdainfully: "This, naturally, is the work of the King of Shu's education!" ”

"You keep impeaching the King of Shu and saying that Yizhou's education is lax, but the old man wants to ask you, do you really know the truth of the matter? Or are you just making it up out of thin air? Deliberately poured dirty water on the King of Shu? ”

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Wang Xin couldn't help but be shocked and angry and asked, "Why did Zheng Guogong say this?" ”

Wei Zheng sneered: "What the old man saw in Yizhou, among the people, in the fields or between work, people reading books abound. Yizhou has established a Yizhou University, where all school-appropriate children can enroll. Not only is tuition fee waived, but also room and board! ”

"A Yizhou University currently accommodates school-age students, as many as six or seven thousand! Let's ask, among the states and counties in the entire Tang Dynasty, can there be states and counties, which can be compared with the education of Shangyi Prefecture? Have it? ”

"If the education of Yizhou is not good, then where can the education of the entire Tang Dynasty be compared to Yizhou?"

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, the officials with the five surnames and seven wangs headed by Wang Xin couldn't help but be speechless.

In fact, their impeachment of Yizhou's indoctrination is really not a lie.

Instead, they inquired that the people of Yizhou had become money-oriented.

At that time, Yizhou University had not yet been established, and the three-character classic, the hundred family names and the thousand-character text had not been published.

But what they didn't expect was that now, time has passed, and Yizhou has undergone such a big change.

This makes them shoot themselves in the foot, and they have words of suffering.

I heard Wei Zheng continue: "Weichen also found out that the King of Shu was not building a palace at all, but building a new city. Yizhou University was built in the new city. And all this is paid by the King of Shu out of his own pocket! ”

"Those people are all paid and hired by the king of Shu. A worker not only has three meals a day, but meat for dinner, and his daily salary reaches ten cents. Those people were all grateful to the King of Shu, and there was no impeachment of them. ”

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Wang Xin and other officials with the surname Qiwang looked more and more difficult to look at.

At this time, Li Shimin's face became calm.

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Wang Xin, and asked Sen Ran: "Wang Aiqing, I don't know how you explain this matter?" ”

Wang Xin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just heard people mention it, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, it turned out to be just a rumor. However, the ministers originally had the right to hearsay and things. ”

However, Weichen believes that the railway built by the King of Shu is indeed a waste of money and labor, not only useless, but also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Weichen suggested that the king of Shu should stop the construction of the railway immediately and hand over the steelmaking technology. ”

Eh, the ultimate goal of this king's trust, in addition to bringing down the King of Shu, is probably indispensable to this steelmaking technology, right?

And once the King of Shu is overthrown, how can it be more than steelmaking? Even the process of making glass had to be snatched up.

Hearing Wang Xinde's words, Li Shimin's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but look even more difficult.

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Wei Zheng: "Zheng Guogong, I don't know how you investigated the railway?" ”

Wei Zheng couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the King of Shu said that after the construction of the railway is completed, the King of Shu will make a train. This train is running on the railway. This train, one locomotive, can carry dozens of carriages. It can transport tens of thousands of people at a time. Or, hundreds of thousands of catties of goods can be transported. ”

Hearing Wei Zhengde's words, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up.

And the officials with the five surnames and Qiwang headed by Wang Xin had a sneer on their faces.

Because Li Shimin once heard Li Su say that he wanted to create a means of transportation with outstanding transportation capabilities.

Presumably, this is the train and the railway.

Since Su'er dares to say this this time, it is enough to prove that the train must really be able to be manufactured.

However, those officials with five surnames and seven wangs, headed by Wang Xin, would not think so.

Hearing Wei Zhengde's words, Wang Xin suddenly said exaggeratedly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, may I ask, do you believe that a car can pull tens of thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands of catties of goods?" ”

"Everyone, will you really believe it? King Shu, it's obvious that he's lying! He is wasting money and spending countless amounts of steel! How much steel can I forge in a year? The steel wasted by the King of Shu on the railway is ten times more than the steel output of my Datang in a year! ”

"This King of Shu, isn't he a sinner of my Tang Dynasty? Weichen suggested that the emperor should thoroughly investigate the king of Shu, stop the waste of steel immediately, and hand over the method of steelmaking! ”

These five people with the surname and seven hopes are really shameless!

As long as there are good things and new technologies appear, they will inevitably do everything possible to control them in their own hands!

Li Jing couldn't help but come forward and said: "This steel, obviously refined by the King of Shu himself, how can he become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Shimin also said: "You, how do you know that the King of Shu can't make a train?" Can't make a train that can transport so many goods? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the ministers of civil and military affairs at the scene couldn't help but be stunned.

In fact, what the king of Shu said, they just listened to it, and no one took it seriously.

Transporting tens of thousands of people at a time, or hundreds of thousands of catties of goods, how is this possible?
