During the Tang Dynasty, the influence of the family gate valve was very huge, and it was headed by five surnames and seven wangs.

The influence of the family gate valve is too great, naturally it is not what the ruler wants to see, from Tang Taizong to Tang Gaozong in history, it has been suppressed, but the effect is not ideal, but it makes the arrogance of the family gate valve more arrogant.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Tang Wenzong proposed to Zheng Qin, the prime minister at the time, hoping that Zheng Qin could marry his granddaughter to the crown prince, but Zheng Qinning refused his request, and instead married his granddaughter to the children of the Cui family, who was only a Jiupin official, which shows the importance of the concept of the family at that time.

In fact, looking back on history, in the Tang Dynasty, the family gate valve did not take advantage of the competition with the royal family, and there were many reasons, but it was mainly because of three points.

First, the "Guanlong Military Group" at that time was very powerful.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the influence of the founding heroes in the court was very large, so big that even the family gate valve had to avoid its edge.

For these founding heroes, the family gate lord did not dare to offend them, and could only befriend them through marriage, such as Cheng Yanjin married the Cui family of Qinghe, and Fang Xuanling married the Lu family of Fan Yang.

Second, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system during the Sui Dynasty was followed.

Through the imperial examination, a large number of children of the poor family entered the court, which also divided the power of the family gate valve to a certain extent, and at the same time, the children of the Han family instinctively hated the family door valve, and they held each other, which also weakened the influence of the family door valve.

Third, it is the deliberate suppression of the rulers.

However, it is a pity that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty did not do very well in this regard, because they also had a view in their hearts, so they had little confidence in suppressing it, and the effect was very small.

Gao Ming knew this very well, so on the one hand, he persuaded Li Shimin to enhance his confidence in suppressing the family gate valve, and at the same time guaranteed Zhou Zheng and used him to be the pioneer of suppressing the family door valve!

"Father-in-law, if my Datang wants to prosper, it is naturally inseparable from talents, but now these talents are basically in the hands of the family, they are not serving the Datang, but serving the family gate, so we can only cultivate talents by ourselves, as the so-called 'century-old plan education-based', this is the truth!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhou Zheng immediately thought it was true, and immediately nodded.

"'Centennial plan education-oriented'? Your Highness is right! His Royal Highness asked the old man to return to Jinju to open a academy, could it be to cultivate talents? ”

As soon as Zhou Zheng's words fell, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"That's right, that's it!"

Gao Ming smiled and stretched out his hand to the Chang'an City Gate not far away.

"Father-in-law, you see, if one day, the people we have cultivated can enter the court in an endless stream like the people at the gate of the city, and at that time, what is the family gate?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhou Zheng suddenly glanced at the crowded scene of entering the city at the city gate, and his face suddenly showed an excited look.

"Yes, if it is at that time, it will be the time for us to show our strength, His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as you say a word, the old man will be driven!"

After speaking, Zhou Zheng bowed down and saluted Gao Ming, and it could be seen that he was very serious at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to help him up.

"Father-in-law is polite, now that we are all our own people, don't see each other like this, just according to what I just said, you go back to Jinzhou first to recuperate, and after a while, I may go to Jinzhou in person, and then talk about the college, this matter is not urgent."

Hearing Gao Ming say this, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to nod, and then arched his hand towards him.

"That old man is waiting for the good news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Jinju, farewell!"

Gao Ming also smiled and arched his hand at him.

"Farewell, father-in-law take care all the way!"

Zhou Zheng nodded, got into the carriage and left, watching the carriage gradually move away, Gao Ming suddenly showed a sneer.

"Saga gate valve? Hmph, let's make you proud for a few years! ”

After speaking, Gao Ming also turned around and went back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Gao Ming immediately discussed with Su Wan'er.

"Wan'er, you said that if I want to build a academy that can accommodate three or four thousand people, how much will it cost?"

According to Gao Ming's idea, the academy is the school, and a decent school with three or four thousand fewer people is definitely not good, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, Su Wan'er laughed.

"Lang Jun made fun of his concubine again, ordinary academies can't recruit thirty or forty people, where can Lang Jun find three or four thousand people? Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming immediately unceremoniously "snapped" at her buttocks and slapped her twice.

"Dare to laugh at Lang Jun, the family law serves!"

"Woo......"

Seeing that Su Wan'er blushed and stopped talking, Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction this time.

"Well, it may be that I didn't make it clear just now, what I mean is that the academy I want to establish does not charge tuition, not only does it not charge tuition, but I also have to provide food and shelter, and I also provide them with the imperial examination, in short, it is to train the children of the poor family to be their officials, how much do you say it will cost?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er was shocked, her eyes widened and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Looking at her with a "ghost" expression, Gao Ming suddenly sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'm not evil, and my brain is very clear, I naturally have my own reasons for doing this, you better answer my question quickly!"

When Su Wan'er heard Gao Ming say this, she came back to her senses, but at this time, her brows furrowed.

"If a child is five years old to study, if he wants to become a talent, he must study hard for more than ten years before he has the opportunity to pass the imperial examination, not to mention the money of the master, just the annual cost of food, housing and pen, ink and paper, each person needs at least three or four yuan, Lang Jun said that to supply three or four thousand people to study, it is impossible to lose 100,000 yuan."

Hearing this number, Gao Ming was suddenly a little stunned.

"100,000?"

Looking at Gao Ming's appearance, Su Wan'er nodded suddenly.

"Now that the world is peaceful, 100,000 yuan is almost over, if there is a disaster, I'm afraid the money is not enough!"

“……”

Now Gao Ming was convinced, he found that he had said that arrogant words to Zhou Zheng before, which was simply ignorant and fearless!

In the Zhenguan period, 100,000 guan was not a small amount, and now the Tang Dynasty has just been established for 25 years, and has experienced too many wars before, Li Shimin can only lightly pay for the meager endowment, so that the people are recuperating.

According to what Gao Ming learned, in the whole year of last year, Datang collected less than one million yuan in taxes from the following states and counties.

Although the price level in Datang is very low, for a huge country, one million is too little.

Not to mention anything else, take the soldiers as an example, in later generations, China's standing army is about 2.7 million, but Datang does not have so many standing troops, not because Li Shimin doesn't want it, but because he can't afford it.

Li Shimin is very poor, this is better than anyone else, and sometimes he suspects that the reason why Li Shimin is trying to crack down on the gate lord clan is probably to take back the land of other people, and then distribute the land to the people, so that he can collect taxes.

Under such circumstances, Gao Ming felt that if he asked Li Shimin for money, it was estimated that there was little hope of getting it, and even if Li Shimin agreed to give it to him, the household department would not let go, so in such a situation, Gao Ming could only figure out a way by himself.

"Isn't it just 100,000? Anyway, it's not that I want to take it all out at once, I take a little bit a year, there will always be a way! ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ming once again set his eyes on Su Wan'er.

"Wan'er, I must build this academy, this is related to my huge plan in the future, you don't care about anything else, you can tell me first, now I want to build this academy, how much does it cost?"

Looking at Gao Ming's serious expression, Su Wan'er also became serious, she counted again, and then nodded towards Gao Ming.

"If you want to build a academy that can accommodate three or four thousand people, and you need to provide them with food and lodging, you need at least a thousand rooms, and listening to Lang Jun's meaning, he wants them to participate in the imperial examination and become officials in the court, so the master has to invite two or three hundred people, and there are ......."

Before she finished her words, Gao Ming immediately reached out and interrupted her.

"Hey, wait...... Why do you want two or three hundred masters? Isn't it just reading some of the Four Books and the Five Classics? When the time comes, can't you just ask a few masters to let them carry it? ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er suddenly supported her forehead with a wry smile.

"Lang Jun, it seems that you really don't know anything about it, the Four Books and Five Classics you said are for Xiucai, but in addition to Xiucai, there are more than 50 kinds of Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming Zi, Ming Calculation, etc., do you think a few masters are enough?"

"Uh......"

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly had nothing to say, he could only touch his nose helplessly, and then shook his head helplessly.

"It doesn't seem like enough...... Well, you go ahead, what else? ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er immediately shrugged her shoulders like him, and then spread her hands.

"There is nothing else, the main thing is to build the academy, invite the master, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of the students, these are more expensive, Lang Jun, you can take out twenty or thirty thousand yuan is almost enough."

As soon as Su Wan'er's words fell, Gao Ming's eyes widened again.

"Didn't you just say that it was only 100,000 in total? Why do I need 20,000 or 30,000 yuan just to build the academy now? ”

Looking at Gao Ming's surprised look, Su Wan'er suddenly showed a look of grievance.

"Just now the concubine said that it would cost at least 100,000 yuan, and the concubine didn't include the money for building the academy just now, Lang Jun, or let's not build this academy!"

As soon as Gao Ming heard Su Wan'er say that he would not build a academy, he immediately stood up.

"How does this work?"

As he spoke, Gao Ming frowned and paced back and forth in the room, and after about a cup of tea, he stopped, and then let out a long exhale.

"The academy must be built, as for the money, I'll find a way!"

After speaking, Gao Ming walked out of the house and went in the direction of the Forbidden Garden.
