In the Tang Dynasty, you can always buy a lot of strange things in the pharmacy, such as carbon, such as saltpeter, such as stone alkali, such as sulfur, mercury, lead, etc., there are too many things that are not medicinal materials at all in Li Xiao's opinion, what kind of face medicine, what bath beans, pearls, etc., Li Xiao's arrival also made the pharmacy have more medicinal wine, perfume, soap and many other things.

In fact, there are not only medicinal herbs, but also dancai in the pharmacy, and there are many daily necessities.

As Li Xiao, who owns a crude medicine shop, knowing the charcoal used by Taoist priests to practice Dan is quite normal in the emperor's opinion. After all, those Taoist priests burn furnaces for alchemy, but all kinds of strange materials will be added to it.

In his later years, Taizong was seriously ill, and as a result, he took the pill of longevity refined by Tianzhu Fangshi, and his condition worsened.

Li Zhi didn't believe in the pill very much, even if Taoism was the religion of his Li family, what kind of pill to prolong life, he didn't believe it even more.

However, if the charcoal of Taoist alchemy can make iron smelting more convenient and increase the output of Datang iron, then Li Zhi will not care whether it is charcoal or charcoal.

The outdoor swimming pool of the Li family made the emperor Li Zhi like it very much, although the royal family is more luxurious, but there is no novelty of the Li family's design, especially the swimming pool with loungers, pergola, and four-legged shorts and chilled sour plum soup or watermelon, it is really refreshing to not want to leave.

Li Zhi was very envious of Li Xiao's chic swimming style, which could swim like a fish in the deep water of the pool.

He was a great man, but he could only lie on his stomach in the shallow water, and he had to ride an inflatable leather sheep.

"Ruiqing, what kind of holiday is there between you and Cui Yuanwai?"

At first, Li Zhi felt that riding a leather sheep on the water was very shameless, but after a while, he was used to the wonderful feeling of floating on the cool water, not to mention that Li Xiao also made a large wooden tray with several fresh fruits and chilled sour plum soup.

The tray floats on the water in front of you, so you can drink it while refreshing in the pool.

"Cui Zhiyi?" Li Xiao was lying on a sheepskin recliner composed of several inflatable sheepskins, very chic and enjoyable.

"There is another Cui Yuanwai, isn't it him? Cui Zhiyi's third brother Cui Zhiwen served the imperial history in the palace at the Yushi Terrace, and he played to impeach you. It is impossible to impeach you for no reason. Li Zhi held a cup of sour plum soup and drank it equally deliciously.

Every time I come to Li's house, there are always unexpected surprises.

Li Zhi had only seen a sheepskin raft made of sheepskin inflatable before, and it was the first time that Li Xiao had used this thing in his own pool, and he had made such a good thing to ride and lie down.

"Shameless."

When Li Xiao heard that Cui Zhiyi actually asked his brother to impeach him, he couldn't help but scold.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Cui Zhiyi insulted me first, but now he is beating a rake, which is really unbearable." Li Xiao said all the things about the last time Cui Zhiyi asked people to get married, "What do you say about getting married, but I want to give me a maid daughter as a concubine, it's not that I look down on a maid daughter, but Cui Zhiyi sent a maid daughter to me, but he asked me to give him a million companion money, and he also had to prepare a dowry of one million yuan for his daughter, and he also wanted to take away a certain engraving and printing, isn't this too deceitful?" ”

Li Zhi actually already knew about this, although the Baiqi Division did not have a lot of manpower, but he could still do it with his eyes and ears all over Chang'an.

"Cui Zhiyi is a little excessive, if a maidservant daughter says that it is nothing to give you as a concubine, but he dares to make such a rude request, it is too much."

"Your Majesty, in fact, Cui Zhiyi's sinister intentions, the minister is very clear. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the scholar family has always monopolized academics in order to influence the court. Nowadays, although there are few people from the scholar clan who occupy high positions above the court, most of them are from noble backgrounds, but the scholar clan occupies the upper and lower levels of the court, especially in the local area, they are pervasive. ”

Li Tang was born in the Guanlong Group and started as a military general, so he naturally had some dislike for the scholars, and after mastering the world, he was even more jealous of the scholars.

It's easy to fight the world right away, but you can't sit on the world right away.

Although the Guanlong group has established several dynasties, it has never been able to get rid of the influence of the scholars. Even if the Guanlong Group can make the court have only a few kittens and puppies from the scholar clan, their influence still makes the emperor very jealous.

It seems a little strange to say, the court does not have a weighty spokesperson, so where do they have the influence that the royal family is afraid of?

This is from some characteristics of this era, for example, since the Han and Wei dynasties, the scholars have monopolized academics. Don't look at the Guanlong group that has mastered the upper echelons, but a group of generals alone can't control the world.

From the three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons in Chang'an, to the twenty-four divisions and sixteen guards, there are no such scholars. It can be said that although the main officials of the ministries and departments are all the nobles of the Guanlong group, the middle and low-level officials and even the officials below are actually occupied by scholars who are mainly from the scholar family.

Since the Han and Wei dynasties, ordinary people have not had the opportunity to read anything.

First, the scholars controlled the right to education, and second, they monopolized academics. The cost of reading is high, and the academics are all in the hands of the scholars, and for a long time, the people who study are mainly from the scholars, even if they are from the Shu family, they are not really poor, but refer to some small landlords who are not scholars.

The literacy rate of Datang is very low, compared to the low literacy rate of Song and Ming, which leads to a more serious problem.

As a result, although the dynasties established by the Guanlong clique abolished the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in which the scholars were able to take power, and implemented a new system of electing officials based on the door shadow system and the recommendation system, those low-level officials, especially the officials who worked in the yamen in various parts of the world, were actually beyond their control, and these officials were mainly people from the scholar clan.

The scholars monopolize academics and control the right to education, and all over the world, except for a small number of official schools, private schools are basically run by the scholars, and the gentleman is also a member of the scholars, even if some of the children of the Shu clan have the opportunity to study, they are also their students.

Therefore, from the central to the local, the upper class stands the noble group represented by the Guanlong faction, but in the middle and lower classes, it is actually the literati class represented by the scholars.

Although the Sui Dynasty launched the imperial examination system at the beginning, trying to give the Shu people the opportunity to enter the office, with the intention of improving the status of those small landlords, but the introduction of the imperial examination system did not go smoothly, until this time, the imperial examination actually did not achieve the original intention of the original founder.

The imperial examination is held every year, and even there are dozens of various subjects, but there are not many scholars to choose from, and even fewer can be used.

In the examination of the imperial examination, first, local officials are required to recommend talented and famous village sages in the local countryside, and second, they are mainly students from local government schools and the capital Guozijian, and the students in these official schools are mainly children of nobles and bureaucrats. Therefore, there are very few people who can enter the threshold of the imperial examination.

At the same time, the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was very unscientific, the content of the examination was somewhat miscellaneous, the admission criteria were more chaotic, and the examination was not obscure, and even the admission of scholars was mainly based on family rank and fame.

If the scholars want to play the imperial examination, they can't play the officials who make the rules in the court, let alone the real Hanmen Shu clan and ordinary people.

Although the Keshi clan can't play with the nobles in the court, and they are also at a disadvantage in the imperial examination, they still have a monopoly on academics.

Although there are only a few official schools in the imperial court? Although there are thousands of students in Guozijian, a few of them are really scholars. In local states and counties, there is often only one official school in one state and county, and there are only dozens of students, and how many people do you have in one state and one county?

The final result is that up to now, the Guanlong Group has risen to several dynasties, but they are all inseparable from the Shi clan. Although they have always rejected and suppressed the scholars, they are inseparable from them.

The longer the dynasty has been peaceful, the more inseparable it is even from them.

A yamen, even if the chief and deputy officials are all those meritorious factions, but the people below still have to fall into the hands of these officials from the scholar family. In fact, the lower the bottom, the more the proportion of scholars and powerful people occupy.

In general, the current situation of Datang is that above the court, there are mainly Guanlong Group and Shandong upstarts, and there are also many Guanlong Haoyou who merged with Wuchuan Group in the early years. In this group of heroes, there are also some scholars who were not looked down upon by the Kwantung clan before.

In the central and local yamen, the scholars occupy the middle and low positions.

In the lower villages, it is controlled by Haoqiang and clans.

This is a pluralistic structure, which can also be regarded as a pyramid structure, and is relatively stable.

From the Sui unification of the world to the Tang Dynasty's re-embracing of the world, the struggle between the court and the scholars was actually starting their erosion of the upper class and preventing them from occupying more of the right to speak. But for the middle and low-rise positions, they are irreplaceable.

Pervasive and ubiquitous, this is the jealousy of emperors from Yang Guang, to Li Shimin, and now Li Zhi to the scholars.

Don't look at Cui Zhiyi, who is only a five-grade official, a small outsider, but the world's corporal family, headed by five surnames and seven families, I don't know how many people these five surnames have, they are basically scholars, even if they don't enter the court as officials, they can't enter the imperial examination, but they are absolutely no problem to be a clerk in the yamen of various states and counties.

Even if they don't go to be officials, even if they annotate scriptures at home and teach in private schools, it will have a huge impact.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have long been unaccustomed to the faces of these scholars, and the ministers have a way to deal with them, and the method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle can make them no longer arrogant, not only is it impossible to restore the rampant smugness of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but even the arrogant capital that is now no longer available!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has a way to destroy the Shi clan!"
