Chapter 21: Young's Muppets

"Phew!"

In the barracks of King Qin, it was as quiet as a cicada. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This was the first time they saw Yang Yan angry, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

"Scholars, what a warrior." This was the first time Yang Yan had touched a nose of ash with the Shi clan.

Before, he asked Fang Xuanying to recruit readers, but as soon as they heard that they were teaching orphaned children in the army, they immediately refused.

What else do you say, 'Untouchables can read and write?' ’。

This was also the first time that Yang Yan felt the resistance of the family composed of scholars to the imperial power, and he also deeply realized why Yang Guang spared no effort to completely abolish the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and implement the imperial examination system.

During Yang Jian's administration, he originally vigorously promoted national studies, state studies, and county studies, but later because of the strong opposition of the scholar class, the Shu people were inhibited from studying, so that Yang Jian had to issue a sigh: "There is no name, empty years", and after the decree, "There are only 70 students in the country, and the four Taixue and the state and county schools are abolished." policy.

When Yang Guang ascended the throne, he overrode the crowd and implemented Shu education with absolute hegemony, paving the way for the imperial examination system. But at present, how many people in the county school are real Shu people? Is it really the bottom?

But even under such circumstances, the scholars still refused Yang Yan's solicitation and refused to teach those military orphans. The frontier is good and so, and where the family and the scholar clan are intertwined, it is impossible to recruit such a person. At this moment, Yang Yan finally understood why all the people in his palace were shabby old pedants. Those people, I am afraid that it is because of the Shu people who promoted education in the time of Emperor Wen that they have no concept of discipleship, and they are willing to teach the orphans of military families with the same background as them.

Can Yang Yan kill all those people?

No, even Yang Guang didn't have the ability to attack the Tianxia Shi clan, and he had to rely on them to manage the Great Sui.

This is not to teach one or two people, but to teach tens of thousands of people, and it cannot be done without thousands of people.

The scholars not only monopolized officialdom, land, but also educational opportunities, and did not give the bottom the opportunity to be promoted at all. The Shu people, and a large part of them are the landlord class, merchants, and craftsmen. It's not that these people don't have money to go to school, but that the scholars who have the knowledge don't teach, what's the use of you having money?

Education is the foundation of a country's prosperity.

Even in the Song Dynasty, there were still people who shouted out the argument that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'. You can see how serious and deep-rooted the Shi clan's control over the whole of China is.

Yang Yan found out that he was wrong, the army alone is never enough, and he also needs scholars who can help him govern the world. However, it must not be those scholars, let alone the children of the family.

The most important thing for him is not to train the army, but to cultivate a new generation of intellectuals, intellectuals without disciples.

Yang Yan knew what his girls could be used for, teaching.

If you want to change an era, you need to have the power to change the era, which is not something that can be done by one person, it takes hundreds of thousands of people, or even more.

In this patriarchal era, Yang Yan can spend money to buy girls from the private sector to contribute to his grand plans.

The premise is that he must have a group of 'teachers' who can serve as educators.

After staying in his military tent for an hour, Yang Yan walked out of the tent, rode on the blood treading alone, and ran wildly around the camp.

The goal is set, and it depends on how Yang Yan implements it.

Tired of tossing himself, Yang Yan returned to the barracks and began to write teaching materials in hand.

The first sentence reads: 'Everyone has the right to education, and everyone is equal before education.' 'Simple, straightforward. After that, Yang Yan began to recall the surnames of the hundred families and the content of the three-character classic, deleted and modified the three-character classic, added a thousand-character text, and prepared to compile an enlightenment book.

Until Yang Guang returned to Zhangye and was about to return to Beijing, Yang Yan had not completely compiled this enlightenment book. However, this did not affect Yang Yan's enthusiasm.

On the first day of the seventh month, Yang Guang finally set off to return to Beijing, and Yang Yan also set off with Huo Xunke'er, Mo Ke, Zhao Yu, Wu Yong and five hundred soldiers.

Stopping and stopping all the way, finally on September 19, Yang Guang's car entered Daxing City. The two-month rush has come to an end for the time being.

Yang Yan, who returned to Daxing, finally wrote two textbooks, one is the children's enlightenment book, and the other is the "Internal Affairs Order" adapted from the famous internal affairs regulations in the later generations of the opera.

During the Daxing period, Yang Yan lived in the palace, practicing martial arts during the day and reading at night, and lived a very dull life.

Yang Guangru's government affairs are piled up today, and sometimes he doesn't turn over the concubine's sign at night, and he won't rest until midnight.

Yang Yan knew that Yang Guang was a person who couldn't be idle. He was a monarch who advocated traveling around to understand the people of the Great Sui. However, the parade is a parade, but what you see is not necessarily the real people's feelings. What's more, since he ascended the throne, the labor he has used has ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions, and the people's resentment against Yang Guang has begun to grow.

Yang Yan was helpless, for two days in a row, he went to ask Yang Guang for peace, but Yang Guang didn't mean to leave Yang Yan at all, and let him go to Empress Xiao after asking for peace.

Empress Xiao's love for Yang Yan is also getting deeper and deeper, because during this western tour, he not only saved Li Jingxun, but also saved countless palace maids in that snowstorm, including Empress Xiao's little maid Xiao Wan'er. In order to get better care of Empress Xiao before, Yang Yan sent Xiao Wan'er back to Empress Xiao and asked her to do her filial piety on her behalf.

However, after returning to Daxing, Empress Xiao sent Xiao Wan'er back to Yang Yan's side. Now, she is making cloth dolls with Huo Xun Kerr.

This kind of cloth doll, but Yang Yan personally designed it, is a cute style that is loved by children in later generations. Even Xiao Wan'er, who is not a small grade, saw the design drawings for the first time, her eyes lit up.

However, the first doll is out of the way. Yang Yan received Xiao Houyi's order that two days later, he would recruit Yang Yan's three little daughters-in-law and his mother into the palace, and naturally arranged for Yang Yan to meet him and his little daughter-in-law. If he didn't prepare some decent gifts, Yang Yan couldn't say anything on his face. Therefore, there is Yang Yan's puppet design drawings on the market.

Yang Yan leaned against the window and read "The Analects", Xiao Wan'er and Huo Xun'er could work together to make a doll, the size of a baby.

This kind of advanced design and cute style make the two girls love it.

"Sister Wan'er, this puppet is so pleasing, if it is sold in Dasui, it will definitely become popular." Huo Xun Ke'er and Xiao Wan'er chatted quietly.

After Yang Yan heard it, he listened carefully and found that Huo Xun Ke'er really had a bit of talent for business.

"Ke'er, Wan'er, come here." Since Huo Xun Keer has such a talent, it can't be wasted. And her mother also came to Daxing City with Yang Yan, Yang Yan also intended to let him develop business for himself, with her mother by her side, no matter how bad it was, it would not be bad.

The two of them immediately moved in front of Yang Yan and stood extremely respectfully, as if they were worried that they had just chatted with Yang Yan.

"Kerr, what would you do if you were put in charge of a shop that specializes in selling puppets?" Yang Yan looked at Huo Xun Ke'er with anticipation.

"The slave family has never run a shop, but I have only heard my mother say that the way of doing business is honesty and scarcity. There is only one puppet in the world drawn by His Royal Highness, and it will be sought after. Huo Xun Ke'er explained slowly, and his brain kept turning.

"The most important thing is how to make the same puppet from others." Huo Xun Kerr added.

"This is too difficult, it's not difficult to make a puppet, you can make it by looking at the picture, if someone else comes to the store, you must be able to make it when you go back. However, since it is a shop opened by this king, there is naturally a way to make no one in Daxing City and Luoyang City dare to sell it. "As long as you explain to the people who manage the market, there will naturally be people who teach those merchants who dare to counterfeit how to behave.

However, Yang Yan is not easy to get ahead, this kind of thing is best to pull people into the water, such as Empress Xiao, the master of the harem, and Yang Lihua, the princess of Leping, who went into the water together. Especially Yang Lihua, she has a lot of industries under her name, and it is very suitable for her to come forward.

"Give me the puppet, and I'll go meet the imperial grandmother and the imperial aunt." Since this idea came up, Yang Yan had to get it done. Now that Yang Yan is short of money, it is a little more to earn a little more.

With the puppet and Yang Yan's identity there, Empress Xiao and Yang Lihua naturally had no opinions. However, Empress Xiao did not come forward, but just asked Yang Yan and Yang Lihua to do it, and did not ask for dividends or anything like that. Yang Yan didn't force it, Yang Lihua was the most suitable.

It was also at this time that Yang Yan learned that Yang Lihua had more than 100 cloth shops in the territory of Dasui, and she was very rich. Therefore, he hit it off with Yang Yan, and the two decided to make a joint venture.

Yang Yan out of the design drawing, accounting for fifty percent of the profit, Yang Lihua out of the shop and gathering, also accounted for fifty percent of the profit.

However, Yang Yan made a request, that is, to let Yang Yan arrange some people in the store. This is to cultivate talents for himself, and Yang Yan doesn't want to miss it.

After the negotiation, Yang Yan went back and painted more than 30 puppets. While painting, let Huo Xun Ke'er and Xiao Wan'er watch by his side.

Yang Yan himself also has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to spend all day thinking on this puppet, if Yang Guang knows about it, he doesn't know how to reprimand him. Therefore, he had the intention to let Huo Xun Keer and Xiao Wan'er design it by themselves. Therefore, Yang Yan painted more than 30 pieces, all of which are different styles of puppets, involving Q version characters and various animals, which can provide them with different directions.

In addition to these, Yang Yan also deliberately confessed that he wanted to embroider obvious marks on the puppets, which was borrowed from the concept of trademarks in later generations. After several rounds of discussions, the four words 'Yang's puppet' were finally decided as trademarks.

After the painting was finished, Yang Yan asked Huo Xun Ke'er, Xiao Wan'er and Huo Xun Nayun to go to Yang Lihua with the design drawings and let them participate in it. After all, it is impossible to open in the short term.

According to the discussion between Yang Yan and Yang Lihua, at least 100,000 puppets will be prepared and sold at the same time in major prosperous counties, so that they can limit others from copying and recognizing their own puppets to the greatest extent.

After the puppet incident, Yang Yan began to think about other business opportunities and prepared to do a big job. Especially in recent years, the Great Sui is still very stable, the people still have money in their hands, and their purchasing power is very strong. By the time Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, the people's money was not so easy to earn.

Of course, the big heads are still those rich people, and luxury goods are a good way to make a lot of money.
