Chapter 86: Fooling Li Shimin into a cripple

There is no absolute fairness in this world, and there can be no absolute fairness.

Li Shimin is a very strong emperor, throughout history, in addition to wanting to be a good emperor in his life, the suppression of the family also exists all the time.

The strength of the family, he has imagined and seen, so he has strengthened the thoughts in his heart.

Bar Jing Wei Zheng snorted, but did not dare to open his mouth to refute Li Yuanjing's words.

Even if it might affect the current scales, he didn't dare to stop it now.

Li Shimin also suffered in the hands of the family, the most recent was last year's drought, in order to solve the food problem, Li Shimin had to bow to the family, had to make a compromise, and continued to let Zheng Shanguo serve as the assassin of Qizhou.

And the real situation is that Li Shimin learned that Zheng Shanguo's physical condition was declining, so he thought of transferring him to Jiangnan.

And without Zheng Shanguo, the leader, the strength of the Zheng family will be hit by a huge blow.

"Do you want to use the craftsman against the Maison?" Li Shimin frowned, he probably guessed Li Yuanjing's method.

To improve the status of craftsmen and allow craftsmen to participate in the imperial examination, Li Yuanjing has mentioned this matter more than once in front of him, but Li Shimin is very optimistic.

"It seems that the imperial brother is still a little prejudiced against craftsmen!" Li Yuanjing said with a wry smile, but he was not disappointed in his heart.

Class status has existed in Chinese history for thousands of years, and he did not expect to be able to convince Li Shimin just by saying it a few times in front of him.

Li Yuanjing sighed deeply and said, "Although the current Datang is still very weak in terms of technology or something, it is still strong compared to the surrounding areas.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison, and the current Datang is not aware of how much potential he has at all.

The imperial examination is a good system, but at the same time it is also a deformed system, it only serves a part of the talent, in my opinion, the imperial examination should be an all-round talent selection.

It can even be said that the imperial examination system has been crooked from the beginning, and with the changes of the times and the change of personnel, this concept will be deeply buried in everyone's heart, thus forming the idea that everything is inferior and only high in reading.

This sentence is true, but it is also wrong, he will bring us a lot of glory, and it will also bring the Chinese nation into a terrible hell. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanjing paused, probed everyone's reactions, and found that they were thinking, so he couldn't help but smile, and then said:

"A Yang Li has increased the weaving speed several times, a Chen Miao has made Datang discover such a thing as cement, and an eldest grandson Jun has brought changes in iron-smelting technology to Datang, not to mention the contributions made by Fang Yiai, Du He, and Cheng Chuliang, and what they have done, can the ministers of the court do it? Can you think of it?

What Datang lacks is not command, but courage, not to mention breaking the kettle, that is, giving a certain amount of support in policy, the future of Datang will definitely make you unexpected.

Maybe one day in the future, farming can be done without manpower, the yield per mu can reach ten stones, when the border pass encounters an emergency military situation, only need to say a word, the court can know the specific situation, maybe 100,000 troops set off from Chang'an, the soldiers only need to sleep to arrive at the border pass.

These seem to be fantastical, but if you don't think about it and don't do it, then it can really only be a fantasy. ”

Wei Zheng wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, what Li Yuanjing said was the truth.

Although the loom, cement, iron-smelting technology, and composting technology have not been fully verified, the small-scale experiments in Duhe have been successful, not to mention the waterwheel and the curved plow, which have been fully promoted.

Indeed, these things, except for craftsmen, the civil officials of the court and the central government could not have thought of them, let alone surrendered their status to do these things.

The simplest modifications of the waterwheel and the zigzag plough are examples, and for so many years, no one has paid attention to this issue, and no one has really paid attention to it.

"Do you know what it means?" Li Shimin looked up at Li Yuanjing.

He also realized the benefits of craftsmen, as for whether it was as mysterious as Li Yuanjing said, he felt that it was not very reliable, but the change was certain.

"Your Majesty, in the long run, the benefits of this matter outweigh the disadvantages!" Fang Xuanling stood up as a reckless.

Everyone present saw the benefits of this, whether they really saw it or not, the benefits were there, and the facts were there.

Besides, Li Yuanjing, a little slippery head, has routined these old guys from the beginning.

After taking the benefits, if they don't stand up and say two good words now, they can't hang up on their face, and besides, this matter has not touched their principles.

Du Ruhui nodded closely, he and Fang Xuanling had formed a tacit understanding, and everyone knew that he would follow after Fang Xuanling made a statement, so no one made a sound, just waiting for Du Ruhui's opinion.

"This matter should not be rushed, you might as well continue to let His Royal Highness King Zhao do it!" Du Ruhui said.

"Well, that makes sense!" The eldest grandson Wuji also followed closely to show his attitude.

"What are you going to do?" Li Shimin once again set his sights on Li Yuanjing, he recognized Li Yuanjing's suggestion, and also accepted Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's suggestion.

"School Running!" Li Yuanjing opened his mouth and said, the result is not good, but it is acceptable, at least this matter has entered the sight of these bigwigs.

Although there will be no big fight for the time being, as long as the results are made, the next thing will naturally be logical.

Without facts as a basis, even Li Yuanjing himself finds it difficult to convince people, including himself.

This matter is indeed urgent, and a person who cannot bear his temperament will never be able to achieve great things.

"The craftsman's art is a family secret art, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Wei Zheng thought about it for a while, and decided to talk to Li Yuanjing.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you do it, there will always be a solution!" Li Yuanjing nodded, this time he didn't choose to carry it with Wei Zheng.

Although the status of craftsmen is low, they have a craft to protect themselves, and after grinding and scrutinizing from generation to generation, this craft is enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime, and even their descendants can have a means of making a living.

Therefore, most craftsmen in ancient times were still relatively conservative about preaching, and they should not think about accepting outsiders and apprentices, and it is impossible for a hundred craftsmen to be willing to accept them, even if they preach, they will only pass them on to their sons, grandsons, and even daughters, and they will never touch these secrets.

This practice is a typical practice of giving up the family to protect the small family, once the small family has a problem, this craft is basically lost.

Li Shimin basically agreed to his proposal, and the next thing was naturally to toss by himself, but running a school, especially running this kind of school, it is necessary to burn money in the early stage.

As soon as he thought of money, Li Yuanjing felt a pain in the egg, and it was absolutely impossible to ask the court for money, first, there was no money, and second, the court gave money, and the nature of this matter changed.

"That...... Brother Huang, can you refund me the tax I paid to you before? ”
