Chapter 101: New Scheme
After returning to Chang'an, Li Chengqian ordered someone to secretly go to Luoyang to investigate whether the assassin who assassinated him that day had something to do with the woman.
This matter, he, Li Chengqian, must find out, otherwise, he will have trouble sleeping!
While Li Chengqian was investigating this matter, Fang Xuanling also sent someone to investigate the case.
Following.
Li Chengqian summoned Zhao Jie, Du He, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Hao Chujun, and Li Jingxuan to the Lizheng Hall to discuss the issue of reforming the school-age children's colonels' study.
As for the assassin's matter, it is still under investigation, so there is no need to worry, let's put it aside for the time being.
"This time the micro-service patrol, the widow has a lot of experience, this time I came to you to discuss the issue of school-age children going to school, what do you think, you may as well talk about it." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness! At the beginning, the ministers opposed the establishment of schools, and those mud-legged people knew what knowledge was, not to mention, people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and what status should be done and what should not be done, how could it be confused. Zhao Jie said.
At the beginning, Li Chengqian proposed to build a school so that more children from poor families could go to school and obtain more ways to be promoted, so as to break the deep-rooted gate valve system.
So that the whole world is no longer a situation of "no poor family in the upper grade, and no scholar in the lower grade".
It can allow more talented and capable people with not very good backgrounds to have a platform to display.
To put it simply, it is to combat the arrogance of the gate lords of the noble clan, consolidate the imperial power, and let more people serve the imperial power.
Zhao Jie also belonged to the Shi clan, so he naturally didn't want the rise of the Han Sect and undermined the overall interests of the Shi clan.
Like Zhao Jie, Li Jingxuan, who claims to be from the Li family of Zhao County.
Whether Li Jingxuan is really from the Li family of Zhaojun is actually similar to the Li Tang royal family's claim that he is from the Li family in Longxi.
As soon as Zhao Jie spoke, Li Chengqian regretted letting Zhao Jie come to this seminar.
"If the country wants long-term development, it should not be limited to one point, but should be more comprehensive in all."
"It is not impossible for the children of the poor to have a better development platform in the future, Zhao Jie, we should not sit in the well and watch the sky." Duhe said.
In this regard, Duho's attitude is somewhat ambiguous.
"Your Highness! The minister thought that the tax could be reduced again, so that people would get real benefits, and naturally send their children to school. Sun Yifu said.
As a poor family, he naturally vigorously supported Li Chengqian's move to establish a school.
"Tax breaks alone don't make these people send their children to school, after all, these people are the labor of the family.
Younger people can help with small household chores, such as washing dishes, and older people can also help with the fields.
Even if they are given tax breaks, they may not be able to send their children to school. Hao Chujun said.
Li Chengqian very much agreed with Hao Chujun's statement, and now that the atmosphere in Datang is like this, it is impossible to solve the problem by just giving them benefits.
There may be people who send their children to school because of the tax break, but that's only a small fraction.
Most people will still maintain their original habits, and things that can take advantage without paying a price are things that people like to see in that era.
Therefore, there must be strong checks and balances.
Just like the government soldier system in the Tang Dynasty, the state distributed fields to the government soldiers to cultivate, and the government soldiers did not have to pay taxes.
But there is one point, that is, the military supplies, clothing, light weapons, and food for the soldiers on the way to the army are all prepared by themselves.
In this way, the financial problems of the imperial court were greatly solved, and at the same time, the slackness of the government soldiers was prevented.
Of course, this is more conducive to the rule and management of the government soldiers, otherwise the entire government army system will not be chaotic.
Well!
This aspect can be used as a reference.
"Hao Qing is right, tax reduction and exemption alone will not work, and there must be a perfect system to restrain it.
The widow decided to force school-age children to go to school, and that families who violated this system would increase their taxes on top of their original taxes.
Not only these families must be punished, but also the state and county where they are located, the county order, and the village where they are located, such as the square, the square, and the village. Li Chengqian said.
Since it is not possible to come soft, we will use the imperial court decree to restrain them and force them to do it, so as to receive the effect that Li Chengqian wants.
"Your Highness! The minister thought that it was also possible to set up a promotion award, and give certain preferential policies to the top three in the excellent academic performance, so as to better promote the learning atmosphere. Xu Jingzong said.
On this point, Xu Jingzong and Li Chengqian coincided, and they both thought of going together.
"What Xu Qing said is reasonable, the general direction is already there, and you still need to come up with a plan for how to operate." Li Chengqian said.
Everyone began to express their opinions! They have published their own suggestions, making this plan more detailed.
This discussion lasted for most of the day, and Li Chengqian ordered someone to bring lunch to the Lizheng Hall, and everyone discussed it while eating.
It was not until the afternoon that the plan was finalized.
"Your Highness! Are these policies effective for all of them? Duhe asked.
The current Datang is no more important than at the beginning of its establishment, and needs the support of the gate valve of the Shi clan.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Wude period was in ruins, and influential families such as the Shi clan were needed to help the imperial court stabilize its social status and local stability.
For the scholars, the gate valve is naturally based on wooing.
Since the middle of Zhenguan, Li Tang has changed from the original co-optation to suppression in order to prevent the gate valve from becoming bigger.
Therefore, Du He asked this question, and the current prince's attitude towards the gate valve is the attitude towards the gate valve after he inherits the throne in the future.
"No, this plan is only limited to the poor people and the children of the poor families, and the nobles are not among them.
At present, we will not take care of the door valve, and then formulate a set of systems suitable for the gate valve, thinking about it, the gate valve children are not willing to study with the lowly children of the poor family, and distinguish them in the future. Li Chengqian said.
Du He nodded, understanding Li Chengqian's attitude.
The dangers of the gate valve Li Chengqian did not know that the annexation of land has left many people without the land on which they depend.
The poor would begin to be displaced, exacerbating social tensions, reducing government taxes, forced labor, and ultimately threatening the rule of the empire.
It has affected the peasants' enthusiasm for production and hindered the development of social production.
This eventually led to the outbreak of peasant revolts that brought the empire to an end.
If you want to get these preferential policies, don't even think about it.
Not only that, but after he inherited the throne in the future, he must also stipulate the admission restrictions for the children of these gatekeepers.
In terms of the score of the exam, the score line is set, and the children of the gate valve must score 80 points to pass, while the children of the poor family only need 60 points to pass.
Only those who pass the examination are qualified to embark on a career in office, just a qualification, and whether they can embark on a career depends on their ability.
In short, the imperial court does not need incompetent people, no ability, even if you are from a gate valve background, it is useless.
