Li Shimin listened to Du Chengfeng's analysis, and was unexpectedly not angry, but just sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Alas, I don't know that what you said is true, but what can I do?" ”

"No, there are many ways." Du Chengfeng suddenly stood up from the couch and said confidently.

"Quick! Tell me about it! Li Shimin became anxious as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"First of all, the emperor must realize that respecting Confucianism alone is like sitting in a well and watching the sky, and all the sons have their own strengths, how can they be covered up by choking on food." Du Chengfeng stood up and paced, and began to analyze one by one: "Everything has two sides, and the same is true for academic schools. ”

Du Chengfeng took a breath and continued: "For example, why the culture of the Tang Dynasty is firmly controlled by the family is very simple, because of the lack of books, even if the poor want to read, there are no books to read, let alone the preciousness of paper. The reason why books are expensive is because the production process is cumbersome and expensive, in fact, as long as you change slightly, the cost of books can be very cheap. ”

As soon as Li Shimin heard that the cost of the book could be reduced very low, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly without waiting for Du Chengfeng to finish speaking: "How to change?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Du Chengfeng comforted: "The books of the Tang Dynasty are all hand-copied or engraved, and these two methods have many drawbacks, not to mention the slow speed and easy to make mistakes. But if all the commonly used words are carved into a mold one by one, and then combined together when used, instead of printing one side and carving one side, and the engraved mold can be used indefinitely, does the emperor think that the problem of books is still a problem? ”

"And under the deliberate guidance of Confucianism, everyone is thinking that all things in Confucianism are inferior, only reading is high. But what kind of book do you read? I read the so-called Confucian classics, so no one ever thought about making such a small change, the mind was imprisoned, and the country could only stop moving. ”

"If a country wants to be strong, it can't rest on its laurels, it must learn to change all the time, and the most suitable is the best, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Du Chengfeng finally asked rhetorically, and then shut up, just looked at Li Shimin quietly, he felt that after saying so much, Li Shimin had to digest it well.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin heard Du Chengfeng's analysis, as if he saw the sun and the sun, the dawn appeared, and the excited Li Shimin slapped his thigh with excitement and shouted: "That's too good, Du Chengfeng, you kid is really my lucky star!" ”

Chu Suiliang next to him was also stunned, he was not a pedantic person, Du Chengfeng's analysis was concise and to the point, and hit the nail on the head.

He had to admire, at least he couldn't imagine it when he asked himself, as Du Chengfeng said, their minds were imprisoned.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Chu Suiliang was speechless, and could only pat his ass and say.

"Hahaha! I can't imagine that I, Li Shimin, am a wise man who was confused for a while, if it weren't for Du Chengfeng, you broke it, I don't know how many detours I would have to take! Li Shimin laughed and laughed at himself.

"The emperor doesn't have to be presumptuous, all of this is caused by the cancer of the family, the kid just said a little bit of superficiality, and the real implementation is not something that can be changed overnight." Du Chengfeng said indifferently.

"I know, I know." Li Shimin said with emotion. Suddenly looked at Du Chengfeng, and said: "Du Chengfeng, you are a talented person, calligraphy and poetry, and your talent are all geniuses." In this way, I will allow you to enter the country for one year, and after a year, you will be crowned the prince and the official position, I hope you don't refuse, I need a talent like you very much. ”

Li Shimin said for granted that he still thinks it is a great honor to be able to enter the highest university in Datang for further study.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I refuse." Du Chengfeng refused very simply, without the slightest drag. To replace it with someone else's estimation is another crime of resisting the will.

Hearing Du Chengfeng's refusal so simply, although Li Shimin was not angry, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't understand that Du Chengfeng was obviously a person with great ambitions for the people of the world, but he always refused his kindness and was unwilling to serve the court.

Li Shimin didn't know that Du Chengfeng heard that he was allowed to enter the Guozijian and was named the prince, and he had already complained in his heart: he was a person who did great things, what was it called to go to the Guozijian. What can a group of old-fashioned old men teach themselves, it's almost the same as teaching them by themselves, not to mention, what the hell is that prince Zhongsheren, how can he not know.

"Can I know why?" Li Shimin still asked a little unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, the kid is still young, his personality is too casual, and the villagers in Dujia Village also need me." Du Chengfeng casually found a reason to prevaricate.

"Well, I won't force you." Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said. Du Chengfeng can say such shocking words just now, such a talent naturally can't be forced, otherwise it will be counterproductive, so he can only think in the long run.

"Then if the emperor doesn't have anything else, why don't the kid step back first?" Du Chengfeng asked tentatively. After talking with Li Shimin for so long, Du Chengfeng said in his heart that he should go back, and let them think about the rest by themselves.

"Okay, stand down." Li Shimin replied helplessly.

When Du Chengfeng heard this, he turned around and wanted to leave the Manna Palace, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly remembered something.

For the sake of Li Shimin's friendship with him today, Du Chengfeng felt that it was necessary to tell them this kind of thing, which could be regarded as relieving Li Min from fire and water. Whether to believe or not is their own business.

"Your Majesty, the kid suddenly remembered something, and I hope that the emperor can retreat, of course, Lord Chu can stay." Du Chengfeng turned around and stepped into the Manna Hall again, his face suddenly became very heavy, and he looked at Li Shimin with a solemn look and said.

Li Shimin watched Du Chengfeng suddenly turn back, his face was ugly, and he subconsciously withdrew all his henchmen and palace maids.

After confirming that all the eunuchs and palace maids had gone away, Du Chengfeng walked in front of Li Shimin and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there will be a serious locust plague in the Guanzhong area next year, and I hope that the emperor will take precautions as soon as possible. ”

"Du Chengfeng, where did you know about this?" Li Shimin's first reaction was not to believe it.

"Your Majesty, this is a heavenly opportunity, and the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed." Du Chengfeng said mysteriously.

After Du Chengfeng said this, he left the Ganlu Hall without looking back, ignoring the surprised expressions of Li Shimin and Chu Suiliang.

Even if Du Chengfeng explained to them that with their current knowledge, it was impossible to believe it, so it was better to take this opportunity to create a mysterious image, as for how to decide whether to believe or doubt, it depends on whether Li Shimin dares to gamble.
