Perhaps as my father said, such a talent must try to appease and win him over no matter what, so that he can become the help of Datang.

Li Shimin believes that since he was able to successfully subdue a group of heroes in Wagangzhai, he will definitely be able to win over a demonic genius like Du Chengfeng.

Putting away thousands of thoughts, Li Shimin sighed: If you don't see this Du Chengfeng again, try it again, and if you care about Datang, you will be rewarded and appeased.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin shouted in a deep voice outside the hall: "Come here, pass the decree." ”

Gao Gonggong, the personal eunuch who was waiting outside the hall, heard the sound and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in lightly, silently waiting for Li Shimin's will.

"Gao Tu, you go to Du Chengfeng's mansion and send a message to let him enter the palace, just say that I have something to discuss with him." Li Shimin said quietly with his hands behind his back.

"The minions obey." Gao Tu retreated in response and hurriedly went to Du Chengfeng's mansion to upload the order.

It didn't take long for Du Chengfeng to enter the Manna Hall under the leadership of Gonggong Gao.

Originally, Du Chengfeng was also thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to talk to Li Shimin about the popularization of Mandarin and pinyin, fight for it, and solve the iron ore matter by the way.

Although Du Chengfeng knew that there were some iron mines in several counties around Chang'an, the ownership of the land was in the hands of the imperial court after all, and it was impossible for Du Chengfeng to rob it. It's not realistic to be too far away at the moment.

When he was distressed, Gonggong Gao came to pass the decree that Li Shimin had something to discuss with him.

Du Chengfeng Xindao can take this opportunity to negotiate with Li Shimin and solve the problem of iron ore by the way.

"Du Chengfeng, I received a report about you here, so I specially asked Gonggong Gao to send a decree to let you enter the palace to discuss." As soon as Du Chengfeng stood still, Li Shimin turned his back and spoke.

"Ahh What about my recital? What's the recital? Du Chengfeng was confused. Is there still someone who beats up their own little report?

Li Shimin turned around slowly, and wanted to pick up the report of the county order of Juxian County and show it to Du Chengfeng, but he felt that it was not necessary.

I had to smile and say: "Du Chengfeng, I heard that as soon as you received the fief, you announced that you would exempt the people in the fief from any taxes, and you also funded the construction of a free school for the people in the fiefdom, but is there such a thing?" I'm curious, do you really have a lot of money and have no place to put it, or do you have ulterior motives? ”

Ulterior motives? A very ordinary thing was said by Li Shimin as having ulterior motives, Du Chengfeng was a little dumbfounded, and only a day later, the news he announced on the fiefdom was sent to Li Shimin by someone to make a small report.

Shouldn't it be the report submitted by the prefectural order? Du Chengfeng guessed. But it's not a big deal, and the prefectural order is also the duty after all.

It is understandable that his behavior is different from the county order and he can't report it, so Du Chengfeng didn't mind.

"Your Majesty, I'm not short of money, so I don't care about the little income from the fiefdom. Besides, Datang is now in ruins, the people's lives are not easy, and there is not much food, so is there anything wrong with reducing their burden and increasing their income? Regarding the question raised by Li Shimin, Du Chengfeng did not care at all.

"And I care about fame." Du Chengfeng deliberately muttered again.

How could he tell Li Shimin that he was doing this completely for the sake of prestige. Although even if it wasn't for prestige, Du Chengfeng would do it.

Du Chengfeng's answer dispelled many doubts in Li Shimin.

For the sake of fame is indeed a good explanation. Du Chengfeng is now also the founding county he just sealed, and it is normal for young people to seek fame, Li Shimin is not surprised at all. The first Chinese network

Although the price of this to gain fame is a bit large. You must know that the permanent tax of 500 restaurants is not a small amount.

Li Shimin couldn't help but admire Du Chengfeng's extraordinary courage.

"So for the sake of fame, do you pay for the villagers to build a free school?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

"It's not all." Du Chengfeng replied without thinking.

"Do you have any other purpose?" Li Shimin's face changed. However, as soon as the words came out, Li Shimin regretted it a little, and felt that he had asked too directly.

However, Li Shimin's problem was directly ignored by Du Chengfeng, and he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he said directly: "Your Majesty, in addition to fame, the purpose of building a free school is to broaden the wisdom of the people and promote my new education." Let this free school become a spark that ignites the prairie and illuminates the Tang Dynasty. In the final analysis, it's for the emperor! ”

"For me?" Li Shimin looked confused, and he noticed a few key words: open up the people's wisdom and new education. As a wise emperor, Li Shimin naturally has a different vision and vision.

Broadening the wisdom of the people is indeed a good thing that will benefit the people in the future.

Li Shimin had wanted to do this for a long time, but it couldn't be carried out because of the pressure of the family's gate valve and some other unstable factors.

Or, as a person in power, he can't be as bold as Du Chengfeng. As the emperor, for now, Li Shimin has too much helplessness and pressure.

But this does not affect his judgment of Du Chengfeng's approach. Therefore, when Du Chengfeng put forward this idea of opening up the wisdom of the people, Li Shimin was not very surprised.

It's just that Du Chengfeng has done something he wants to do but can't do at the moment.

It's just that what is the theory of this new type of education, and Li Shimin said that it is very puzzling.

At this time, Du Chengfeng said again: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, I am preparing to build two free schools in Chang'an City, and there may be more free schools in Datang in the future." ”

The free school planned by Du Chengfeng is actually similar to the modern compulsory education system.

It's just that compulsory education is carried out in the form of the state, and the free school Du Chengfeng is carried out in the name of an individual, and may also attract some businessmen to join.

After all, the status of merchants in this period was very low, and if there was a way for them to improve their status among the people and improve their reputation, they would naturally be very happy.

At that time, I will make some charity fundraising activities in the name of promoting education, and then make a merit monument.

All merchants who collect donations can engrave their names on the merit monument for future generations to pay respects, and those who have money do not rush to donate money to the school.

All you have to do is find someone to manage these donations and ensure the transparency of the donations.

So when Du Chengfeng had the idea of creating a free school, he actually thought about all the back roads and sources of funds.

You must know that the cost of maintaining a school for a long time is also a significant expense.

"Build two free schools in Chang'an too?" Du Chengfeng's bold idea really surprised Li Shimin. "Aren't you afraid of causing the family to block and resist?" Li Shimin asked with some concern and concern.

Li Shimin's worries are not unreasonable. Chang'an is the center of Datang's power, and it is also the concentration of the family.
