Chapter 407: Not to be insulted
The idea of using official power to set up academies in various places at the same time seems to have been blocked, and what those family officials said is very reasonable, there is no money in the treasury, and everything is closed. So Li Chengqian naturally looked at Ma Zhou as the initiator.
Ma Zhou was obviously prepared for this, of course he thought about the reasons that the officials of the sub-family might come up with, and because he was in this position in the matter, many things in the Tang Empire could not escape his eyes, and of course he also knew something about the situation of the treasury, and the enemy used this reason to oppose it, which was naturally expected by him.
So he calmly came up with a plan of "taking from the people and using it for the people", which is simply to turn the fate into a fate.
He feels that the Tang Dynasty is also full of yearning for reading, and there must be many people of insight who will actively support this matter.
Therefore, let's open the door to run a school, raise funds from the society, and rely on everyone's strength to raise the academy.
It would naturally be very heavy for all the academies to be borne by the imperial court, but if it was put on all the people in a state and county, especially the local gentry, this matter should be much simpler and less stressful.
In order to show his support for this matter, Ma Zhou himself happily said that he would donate all his money for a year.
Although his position is quite prominent, he never accepts bribes, and he is known for his integrity, so this is almost all his income.
That is, knowing that Lin Sen will definitely support him, it will not make him unable to eat, and it is a big deal to continue to eat and drink alone, so he has this confidence.
Of course, it is indeed because he values this matter very much, and this support is also from the heart.
The other ministers who had expressed their support for the academy were all generous, which was another demonstration of their attitude.
With these people as demonstrations, there are many real important ministers among them, such as Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, it can be said that this matter has shown its feasibility, so Li Chengqian made a very happy decision to start implementing this matter throughout the Tang Dynasty.
After the resolution is made, there will naturally be local officials in various localities to implement and implement this matter.
Whether they can do it well or not depends on the skill of those parents and officials, as well as their relationship with the local gentry.
Of course, this matter will definitely not end so simply, and Ma Zhou has prepared a backhand.
After all, it can be regarded as the first duel with the family under the auspices of Li Chengqian, and this must be a good start, otherwise it will not only affect people's perception of Ma Zhou's ability, but also reduce Li Chengqian's prestige.
Therefore, Li Chengqian must continue to pay attention to this matter.
Ma Zhou and Li Chengqian were angry in advance, which made him more confident in this matter. And this trick can't be used without his approval, because it also involves a wide range of things.
As soon as the order was issued, the local officials naturally got busy.
Of course, they also have their own thoughts, and they support it, feeling that this is indeed a good thing for the benefit of one party, and it is also a good opportunity to show their abilities.
If you do it beautifully, you can still win a good impression on yourself from Li Chengqian, the crown prince, and maybe after Li Chengqian comes to power, he will be further reused.
Many of those who oppose this matter are from big families, mainly because they feel that this matter is detrimental to the interests of their family and adds a lot of trouble to their work.
Pulling money out of the pockets of the local gentry, how can it be so easy to pay, these fine people will definitely not do that thankless thing, throw out a penny, hate to have ten times the income, how can these people pay money for the court for no reason, they can't see where the benefits are.
They are not doing this kind of fate-changing thing, but they are not taking advantage of their own face and favors, which is really not cost-effective.
Therefore, doing this work is a bit of a disobedience, purely because of the lack of effort.
The Chang'an County Order, who had come to the Lin family to investigate the disappeared bastard before, obviously belonged to the former, because he was very active in finding Lin Sen's side this time, and he talked for a long time, just to get enough donations from Lin Sen.
Lin Sen had long known about this, how could there be any reason not to cooperate, and pretended to be very generous and donated a year's money.
With the precedent on Lin Sen's side, it can be regarded as opening a breakthrough, and when this Chang'an County Order goes to other nobles to persuade him, the strength of this speech will definitely be much greater, just take Lin Sen as an example.
Lin Sen also knew from several other familiar nobles, except for laughing and scolding a few words, Lin Sen couldn't do anything about the Chang'an County Order for this.
And because of this, Lin Sen can also be regarded as seeing his current influence, probably because he took the lead in donating, and the other familiar nobles, Bian Ke, all expressed their support.
On the other hand, the situation in Wannian County can be said to be very different, most of the Zhuangzi of the family officials are concentrated there, and there is a clear distinction between the civil and military affairs on Lin Sen's side, or a little disdain to be with them.
Originally, I was a little worried about this matter, and I had the meaning of watching Li Chengqian's jokes, so it was strange that he could respond positively.
In private, there must be no less stumbling blocks, and it is indispensable to encourage others to show to those territories under their hands.
If it weren't for the fact that their influence is not as good as before, and for the worry that Li Shimin will come back and play ruthlessly with them again, things will not be so gentle as they are now.
When the Wannian County Order came to the door, they seemed to have agreed, and each family just took out five copper coins, which were really stringed with ropes.
The weight of these 5,000 stacked together is not light, just let the Wannian County Order carry it back by himself, it can be said that it is no different from humiliating him in person, this is to make it clear that he is a beggar.
Even if you don't look at this rather insulting cash, you can only take out five times in itself, and show their contempt and disdain very clearly.
The dignified family took out five yuan of money, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to spend a day in the courtyard.
Besides, he came to the door in person with a 10,000-year-old county order, and this face is worth five dollars? If it is not a humiliation, who can believe it.
But he couldn't get angry yet, after all, the nominal family also made a donation, and he took the initiative to send the hot face himself.
And the other party is five surnames and seven families, even if the momentum is not as good as before, how can he be offended by a small Wannian county order. So in the end, I could only chew my teeth and swallow it in my mouth.
Of course, the influence of the family is much greater than that of a small general like Lin Sen, and the scope of influence is also much larger.
With their instructions, as well as the style of slapping the face alive, it can be regarded as a bad start for others.
Relying on the gentry to build academies on a large scale has not been well implemented in most places, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of these people.
For this reason, they are also quite complacent, look! Yes! Take a look! Even if it's royal, without our support, wouldn't it still be the same!
You're a little prince, do you think you must be able to do it? Immature!
Li Chengqian looked at it, and sure enough, as Ma Zhou said, the family clan would obstruct it, and it seemed that he still had to use the latter move, and it was time to give this group of arrogant guys a little color, so that they could understand that the royal face was definitely not to be insulted!
