Chapter 397: The Root of the Family

Datang's attitude towards the Turks made many people smell opportunities. Merchants began to walk the land, scavenging for supplies at intervals. Taoism and Buddhism were likewise preached there in the hope of spreading their teachings. The families also rushed there and began to build a foundation for themselves.

In fact, not many people took it seriously at all in the first place. But when Datang paid more and more attention to it, the people of these families couldn't wait.

Because there may still be many restrictions in Datang, but it is an unscrupulous place. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was now assigning official positions among the Turks to manage the Turks, and if they wanted to be selected, they had to know Chinese and Chinese characters.

This made these families excited, knowing that with the continuous transportation of iron ore and coal to the Tang Dynasty by the Turks, the tax revenue there was also improving.

If the Turkic officials can be controlled, it means that they will be able to get a share of the tax revenue in the future.

The first to go was the Lu family, represented by Lu Qu, who has now established several private schools in the Turks, which can not only train officials for the Tang Dynasty. And at the same time, it can also be scraped from the Turks who came to study.

Qin Ze was bent on shifting the family's attention to the Turks, so that he would have more opportunities to establish his own Tang Academy.

Fortunately, Li Er also thought so, so soon Li Er's holy decree was handed down, allowing the major families to open private schools in the Turks, and at the same time set up rich rewards. All students trained by the private school can pass the assessment and can go directly to the post.

As soon as this sentence came out, the people of the family could no longer sit still. So the mighty team of the family also marched towards the Turks again.

At the same time as the family was marching towards the Turks, Qin Ze's Datang Academy was also expanding. Li Er still didn't hold back after all, and sent a group of craftsmen to Qin Ze's Datang Academy.

Today's Datang Academy has finally completed all its structure, including the Military Medical Department, the Ming Wen Department, the Craftsman Department, the Encyclopedia Department, the Arithmetic Department, and the Agricultural Department, all of which contain almost all aspects in these categories.

But today, there are only about 200 people in Datang Academy, of which the Military Medical Department has the largest number, and it has been trained to the second batch of more than 60 people. Most of the rest of the people are craftsmen and the like, and the real poor students are only twenty or thirty.

There is no way that Qin Ze has limited ability alone, so he can only cultivate some craftsmen who can teach first, and then let them continue to cultivate others.

Among the six signatures, Qin Ze didn't know how to deal with it. With his broken level, it is impossible to teach these students. Fortunately, there is an old gentleman in charge there, and there is another gentleman sent by Li Er.

Qin Ze never cared about the origin of these people, just like Qin Ze never paid attention to the origin of the students of his academy, Li Er would not rest assured that he would hand over such an important thing to others, even if it was Qin Ze who created it single-handedly.

So soon, Ocean College came to the University with several of the biggest audit students, and it is not right to say that they are audit students. According to Li Er's meaning, he wanted them to assist Qin Ze.

Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li You are all orthodox members of the royal family, and Li Er's intention in sending them over is naturally self-evident.

It's just that compared with Li Ke and Li You, Li Tai seems to be gloomy. After all, he has always relied on Li Er's favor for him, and he is so uncomfortable in Chang'an. But now that Li Er is obviously cultivating Li Chengqian, no matter how favored Li Tai is, it is a little too much to say. According to Li Tai's idea, Li Er sent him over to pave the way for Li Chengqian.

Actually, he guessed well, but not all right. As far as Qin Ze knows, Li Er really loves Li Tai, because among the three brothers, only he is the most similar to Li Ersheng. And sending him to Datang Academy is to hope that he can take over here. In this way, even if Li Chengqian ascends to the throne in the future, Li Tai will have a foundation for his life.

Qin Ze has never liked to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, anyway, Li Tai is not a fool, one day he will figure it out himself.

Compared with Li Tai's sullenness, Li Ke and Li You seemed much happier, the queen mother of the two of them was originally just a concubine, so they knew that they could not have anything to do with the throne. So being able to get out of the palace is already a great blessing for them.

Qin Ze also intended to train the three of them, so he handed over the seed cultivation work from the Agriculture Department to Li Ke and Li You.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and perhaps no one thinks of it now. But Qin Ze knew what it meant to be able to cultivate high-yield crops.

As for Li Tai, it's hard to say, since he came to Datang Academy, he has been hiding in his courtyard. Qin Ze wanted to go up and talk to him several times, but he was always closed. This left Qin Ze at a loss.

Li Tai was indeed very disappointed in his father's approach, but he also knew in his heart that his eldest brother was now in the heart of his father.

For Li Tai, who has always been doted on, this is tantamount to a blow. His heart suddenly panicked, and he feared that one day he would become a victim of his eldest brother's throne. That's why he hid in the courtyard and didn't come out, on the one hand, he wanted to plead with his father, and on the other hand, he temporarily avoided the edge.

But what he didn't expect was that life here was no worse than in the palace. Not only was the house warm all day, but the food was much better than in the palace.

After three days in a row, the eldest grandson Wuji appeared. As Li Tai's uncle, his appearance is obviously a turning point.

Qin Ze didn't know what the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Tai, anyway, the chubby Li Tai came to Qin Ze's side the next day.

"I've been tired of Qin Hou these days."

Li Tai in front of him was wearing an ordinary shirt, and all the treasures he had on his waist and head had been removed. Only the momentum on his body made him seem out of place with everyone.

When Qin Ze saw him like this, he also smiled bitterly for no reason. In the end, it was still the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Tai was persuaded in a few words.

"Now that I've thought it through, it's good to stay here and study. Why Your Majesty asked you to come, you must know in your heart. ”

Qin Ze no longer called Li Tai the King of Yue as before. And it seems that Li Tai also likes this title.

Li Tai is actually an extremely smart person, so Qin Ze did not hide anything from him.

"Datang Academy will definitely be the foundation of Datang in the future, since Your Majesty asked you to come, I naturally want to slowly hand over Datang Academy to you. Now the people of the family are paying attention to the Turks, and they have also left an opportunity for the Datang Academy. It's just that this is far from enough, if you want Datang Academy to completely replace the family, you must touch the foundation of the family. When Qin Ze said this, he also paused. Then he looked up at Li Tai, waiting for him to reply.

"Datang Academy will always belong to Datang and Qin Hou, as for Qin Hou's needs, it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Tai smiled, obviously hearing what Qin Ze meant.

Qin Ze did have some things to use Li Tai, because there were some things that Qin Ze couldn't do. But if it is Li Tai who does it, it doesn't matter, anyway, he has Li Er's backing behind him, and no matter how arrogant the people of the family are, they will not dare to touch him.

Seeing Li Tai nodding, Qin Ze also took out a few small pottery pieces from his arms and put them in front of Li Tai.

Each of these small clay pieces is only two inches square, and the whole body is dark and looks extremely ordinary. Li Taihu stretched out his hand suspiciously and picked up the clay block on the ground, but found that there was a word engraved on the other side of the clay block.

"What is this?"

Li Tai picked up all four pottery blocks on the ground, and sure enough, he found that there was a word written on each pottery block.

Qin Ze smiled and took the pottery block from Li Tai's hand again, then placed it in a certain order, and then pressed it on the ground. Suddenly, four shallow big words appeared on the dirt ground: "Datang Academy." ”

Then Qin Ze reversed the order and pressed it on the ground again, this time it appeared: "Tang Xue Compound." ”

"Huh!"

Li Taihu hesitated, and then took the clay block in his hand.

Movable type printing, this great invention is what Qin Ze has always wanted to come up with. But I never found a chance.

The most important reason why there are so few readers in Datang is because books are too expensive. If books were printed in the ordinary way, it would be a huge project.

For example, the "Book of Songs" has more than 30,000 characters, and if you want to print this thing, you must use countless wooden boards to carve these words one by one. It's a huge project, so it's expensive to buy books. And the best way for ordinary students to read books is to copy them word by word by hand, and it is foreseeable how much time this will waste.

And once there is movable type printing, it will save a lot of time when printing books in the future. In this way, the monopoly of scholars on books was completely broken.

And what books you want to print at that time is not a casual matter. And this is still the first step, Qin Ze plans to wait until the time is ripe, and then take out the Hanyu Pinyin of later generations.

Datang also has something the same as pinyin, that is, the straight sound method and the reverse cut method. The so-called straight pronunciation method is to use homophones to phonetic, for example, it is like "box, read like incense." In this way, the word after the word "read as" is used for phonetic pronunciation. Generally, a simple word is used to phonetize complex words, but for those who don't even know the simple one, there is no way.

So under this method, there are still a large number of words that need to be passed on orally, because on the one hand, if you want to learn this method, you have to know a series of simple words, and there are still some complex words with almost no homophones, so the straight phonetic method cannot be noted.

In the future, after having the consciousness of separating sound and rhyme, people invented the reverse cutting method, that is, using two words to note one sound, often written as "praise, bitter gourd cut." ”

But either one is extremely complicated, and the pinyin of later generations is different. As long as you recognize the initials and finals, then you can recognize any word, which is the best as an enlightenment education.
