Chapter 4: The Utility of the Will
Lin Fan did not live the life of a golden iron horse in Datang, nor the kind of days of intrigue with others, nor was he a hard-working child who ran around for life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ordinary and happy days are what he wants, although he is only fifteen years old now, he is already a little adult in Datang, but the physical limitations do not affect the quality of his life, his psychological age is now in his thirties, and it is not too much to start enjoying life at this age.
In the society of the previous life, some people were destined to enjoy a lifetime as soon as they were born, and they never considered the issue of livelihood, but some people liked excitement and took risks to do something illegal, which also added a dark shadow to their beautiful life.
The young generation in the city can't experience the hard work of the previous generation, and when they become adults, they can basically live a leisurely life, and the income from demolition or charter is enough for them to live without worry, and those who know how to enjoy it start to enjoy life at a young age, unlike those outsiders who flock to the city, all efforts are just to survive, in order to survive in the city.
Lin Fan does not rely on his predecessors, does not rely on nobles, and relies on his own ideas and knowledge that are superior to those of the Tang Dynasty, so as to live this kind of worry-free life, in a sense, he lives a much more meaningful life than those in his previous life, at least everything he has is hard work, not like a parasite who only knows how to grab the harvest of his predecessors.
Although he didn't teach at the Lin Academy in the true sense of the word, this kind of life made him very fulfilling, and he was not very tired, and he just did it to pass the time.
Lin Fan is very satisfied with his current life and the current situation of the Lin Academy.
Since Xiao Wu bravely set an example of women taking the initiative to enroll, there are also one or two local noble daughters who have enrolled in school, but they are a little old and will get married after a short time of studying.
In the concept of the Tang people, once a woman is married, she has to take on the responsibility of teaching her husband and children, and they have no other mind to do other things.
This kind of thing is understandable, even if it is a metropolis after a thousand years, women still can't get rid of this fate, if there is no older generation or nanny to teach you children, women get married, have children, you have to do it yourself.
The term husband has gradually faded, but the godson will be passed down from generation to generation.
This is not the most satisfying for Lin Fan, what makes him happy is that the school ushered in the shipbuilding giant Zhao Er from the south, I heard that the Lin school in Chang'an recruited talents from all over the world, he took the initiative to take refuge, mainly to let his shipbuilding technology pass on forever.
Zhao Er asked Lin Fan to send him to the Martial Arts Research Institute, and together with Mo Lao, it was very likely to inspire him, they were together, Lin Fan didn't want to see the sparks of their bad taste, he just wanted to see the sparks that shocked him.
I don't know if it was the joining of the shipbuilding giant that caused Li Gang to be jealous or happy, the old man called Lin Fan over, saying that the Lin school should not only focus on technical research, but also on literary education.
He recommended two people to Lin Fan, and after hearing about the origin and knowledge of these two people, Lin Fan was a little undecided.
"Since they are one of the eighteen bachelors of Hongwenguan, how can we invite it, Hongwenguan is the place where the emperor collected talents back then, and it is their honor to be a bachelor of Hongwenguan, are you sure they will come to the school to teach?"
Although Li Gang is old, his eyes are still bright, especially when it comes to talents.
"If it was before, the status of Hongwen Hall was sacrosanct, but now the emperor's eyes have gradually shifted to the Lin Academy, and the status of Hongwen Hall is naturally not as good as before.
The old man thinks that Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang will not stay on a tree and hang themselves, they are now silently living in the Hongwen Pavilion, just because the backbone of the literati is there to trouble, you didn't invite them, they won't come, one, the emperor has no will, two, in their opinion, the Lin school is mainly technical, and calligraphy and literature have nothing to do with it, so they didn't come to join in the fun. ”
Li Gang suddenly sighed, looked at the sky and sighed: "Now that the old man has not much time, the only thing that can be done for the academy is to accept talented people as much as possible, rest assured, as long as the old man comes out, they will not give the old man face."
"Can be your body"
"It doesn't matter."
Li Gang smiled: "Although it is an old bone, it is still okay to take a step or two."
Hongwen Pavilion is in Chang'an City, Chang'an is relatively large, if you walk, you will definitely have to walk a long way, Lin Fan himself refuses to walk, let alone let Li Gang walk.
He drove his treasure car to the door and drove Li Gang straight to the Hongwen Pavilion, which was strange to the students of the Hongwen Pavilion for the sudden arrival of the Lin Academy.
Because of the rise of the Lin Academy, they feel that they have fallen out of favor, so subconsciously, in addition to being strange, they are more of a kind of rejection, and this psychology is most obvious among the younger generation of students who are not very productive.
The bachelors of Hongwen Pavilion still respect Li Gang, but they are not so friendly to Lin Fan, and in the face of the young man who is younger than himself but has a talent and is deeply favored by the emperor, they can't help but feel a wave of jealousy.
There is only jealousy, not the slightest envy.
Lin Fan didn't think so, stepped in with his chest straight, and deliberately released some aura, making those who were jealous of him even more angry.
Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang were very surprised that Li Gang would come to Hongwen Hall, and they specially invited them to teach calligraphy at the Lin Academy.
They warmly received Li Gang and Lin Fan, without a trace of what everyone should have.
When he saw Yu Shinan, Lin Fan really didn't understand why his body was still so strong, his spirit was still so vigorous, and he didn't look like a seventy-year-old man, which was really different from Li Gang.
Chu Suiliang is relatively young, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, he is actually a calligrapher, but Lin Fan is impressed, although he is imitating the style of predecessors such as Ouyang Xun, Wang Xizhi, Yu Shinan and others, but it is not completely imitated, he will combine the strengths of his predecessors, create his own one, it can be seen that this person is very intelligent.
Li Gang's face is still very big, and what he said is far more powerful than Lin Fan, without hesitation, these two calligraphers, one old and one young, readily agreed, willing to pass on what they had learned all their lives.
This can be regarded as a wish of Li Gang, from then on, this old lady has one more person by his side who can talk about speculation, and his old age will not be so lonely, especially when Lin Fan arranged Yu Shinan to live next to Li Gang and equipped them with chess and cards, it is difficult for Li Gang to be lonely
Boss Li's decree to encourage merchants to do business was finally issued, and this decree was initially withheld by the Zhongshu Province, and they wondered whether this was the right thing to do, after all, it was about changing the status of merchants for thousands of years.
The emperor's will swept across the Tang Dynasty like an autumn wind, invading every corner and every city.
This will is like a bomb exploding in various cities, this is definitely a big event, and it is another major event that affects the entire Tang Dynasty after winning the battle last year.
About half a year ago, Boss Li's attitude of turning a blind eye made some businessmen see some hope, but they didn't dare to make a big move before there were no explicit regulations, but they already smelled a hint of policy relaxation.
Boss Li's indulgent attitude did not have a good effect, and many businessmen did not take any action, until after this decree was issued, those businessmen who were ready to move but did not move in the end finally moved.
The speed is not fast, and there are some timid people who are waiting, and they wonder if this is a decision made by the emperor with a moment of brain fever.
It wasn't until the first businessmen who could let go make a lot of money that under the trend of jealousy, many businessmen let go of their hands to do business, and the goods that they didn't dare to sell openly before were now on the table and drunk all over the street.
Boss Li also encouraged the people who were engaged in agriculture to do business in their spare time, and the decree clearly stipulated that the status of merchants in the future would be no different from that of farmers, and that people's prejudice against merchants in the past could no longer be had, and merchants and farmers would be treated equally!
The implementation of a policy is not a day, it takes time to test, after more than a month of implementation, businessmen, farmers have gradually accepted this new change, everyone has boldly stepped on the road of business.
The fastest response is the bold businessmen, and the slowest are those court officials, a month has passed, they are still in a wait-and-see posture, and no official dares to move out of the whole family with heart and lungs.
Judging from their knowledge of Boss Li, and their years of experience in the imperial court, they smelled the smell of conspiracy, and they did not feel that the king they served would give birth to such a move to improve the status of merchants for no reason.
They had asked tentatively when they were in the last dynasty, but they couldn't ask about any conspiracy, and Boss Li would not tell the officials about the plan of sharp change in advance no matter what.
The officials in the high positions did not move, and the officials at the bottom did not dare to move, they all looked at the attitude of the senior officials.
I have to admire Boss Li's patience, the hundred officials don't move, he is not in a hurry, and they are consumed like this, as if the implementation of this will is only for the sake of the world's businessmen, and it has nothing to do with these court officials, Boss Li acquiesced that the hundred officials around him did not do business secretly.
After another month, there was still no news in the court, until the royal cement kiln opened in the name of Empress Changsun was exposed in front of the eyes of the court officials, and everyone's thoughts began to be faintly touched.
They thought that this was the Lin family's industry, but they didn't expect that the Lin family was just managing it on behalf of the royal family, and now the royal family has taken it back and managed it themselves, which has made it clear that the royal family is also doing business.
