Chapter 266: Preemptive Strike
Cui Yuanming received a secret letter from the head of the family, but it was not only cotton, rice, but also the school. Those schools, their families have already sent people to investigate, if this kind of school is popularized, coupled with the current implementation of the imperial examination, the name system, then in the future, young people in the major families want to enter the official career, but there are many competitors. These will come from ordinary people in the people, and will greatly reduce the competitiveness of the major families.
After that, the various political opinions in the court will be in a state of blooming, and it is no longer possible for the family to influence it.
Originally, he was going to stand up and talk about the school, but now that he saw that Wang Wenyuan was killed by the eldest grandson Chong in a few words, he didn't dare to stand up, and he wanted to write a letter to the head of the family after he went back, so that several major families could unite, so that the chances of winning would be better. They alone are the Cui family, absolutely not, and maybe they will be reprimanded like Wang Wenyuan.
Seeing that no one mentioned the matter of the school, the eldest grandson Chong was ready to take the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!" "As long as the tone is set, there will be people who want to move the ideas of these schools, and they will also weigh His Majesty's thoughts.
Li Er and the courtiers came and asked with interest, "Oh? If you have something, just say it! "I know that since Changsun Chong has stood up, he will never simply shrink back and say a few words.
"Since ancient times, heroes have produced teenagers, young wisdom is national wisdom, youth is rich and the country is rich, youth is strong, youth independence is country independence, youth freedom is country freedom, youth progress is country progress, young master is better than the surrounding vassal countries, the country is better than the vassal country, and the youth is strong in heaven and earth. Therefore, Weichen believes that the hope of the future lies in the youth, and I implore His Majesty and the courtiers to reconsider improving the learning environment of our Tang teenagers, so that more children from poor families can read and write, and cultivate more and better juniors for the future. The eldest grandson rushed to the ground. Said sonorously.
"The youth will be the country, the youth will be rich, the country will be rich, and the country will be strong if the youth is strong" Li Er listened to Changsun Chong's words and muttered to himself, and the historian on the side even after listening to Changsun Chong's words, his eyes lit up, and he wrote down this sentence.
The ministers are also savoring this passage carefully, wonderful!
Cui Yuanming was in a hurry, and he was just about to go back and write a letter to discuss the matter with the head of the family. Unexpectedly, this eldest grandson Chong struck first and struck first, even if he said it now, it would be too late. What's more, everyone has been stunned by a series of "teenagers" from the eldest grandson, and if he opens his mouth to refute, he will immediately be sprayed with spittle. That is to hinder the growth of the young master of the Tang Dynasty. Curse the Tang Dynasty and have no successor!
Kong Yingda is a descendant of Confucius and has devoted his life to teaching and educating people. The current kokuko priest wine. Hearing this from the eldest grandson, he knelt down with a puff and said, "This is the foundation of our teaching and educating people!" ”
Li Er was moved in his heart, and when he saw that Mr. Kong Yingda was so excited, he hurriedly said, "Zhou He, hurry up and help Kong Aiqing." ”
Kong Yingda was helped up. walked to Changsun Chong, patted Changsun Chong's shoulder, and said with relief: "The kid has this insight, not a mortal. I heard that you have opened a lot of schools in Hebei, Shandong and other places to let children read for free, which is really a blessing for Datang! When the old man returns to his hometown, can he trouble the eldest grandson and the little master to give the old man a chance to be a master? ”
Changsun Chong saluted respectfully to Kong Yingda, this little old man is very funny, dedicated to teaching, spreading Confucian culture, since Changsun Chong has listed philosophical things, he has regarded Changsun Chong as a New Year's friend. Changsun Chong likes literati like Li Gang and Kong Yingda, and to a certain extent, these two people are very cute and morally noble.
"Master Kong loves him, but the kid doesn't dare to be. If you are lucky enough to invite Master Kong, it is really a blessing for three lives! Eldest Sun Chong said respectfully.
"Haha!" Li Er smiled, "You kid, you actually dug the corner of my wall in front of you, Kong Lao Aiqing went to be a master, what should I do with the national eunuch?" ”
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”
Li Erzhen said: "You can have such insight at a young age, and it is not in vain that I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future to open more such schools." ”
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the funds for opening a school, now every household has an income, and it is completely possible to raise funds in the village, but there is a lack of masters. Wechen implored His Majesty to add to the examination of the students in the north that if they had been masters and were highly praised, they would be given a certain amount of extra points in the examination. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"This is simple, if anyone has ever been a master, after being recommended by the village chief and students in the jurisdiction of the school, and coming to Chang'an during the imperial examination, he can be personally taught by the prince of the country for two months. Kong Aiqing, how is this? Li Er suddenly thought that this method was good, anyway, at that time, as long as Kong Yingda showed his face and explained some knowledge to everyone, it would not take much effort, but for those candidates, to see the highest "Ministry of Education", of course, they would think that Sansheng was lucky.
Kong Yingda followed Li Er's words and said, "The minister thinks it's feasible!" "Even if it is a recognition of Changsun Chong's words, few people have such courage.
Cui Yuanming's heart is cool and cool, it seems that this eldest grandson Chong will continue to stay in Hebei, Shandong and other places next year, this is where their family foundation is. If Changsun Chong is allowed to do this, I believe that in less than ten years, no, in less than five years, the imperial court will be completely controlled from the people and the land.
There are only these few things in the court, and after completing the court discussion, he went down to the court.
Li Ye followed behind the eldest grandson Chong, and said adoringly: "Brother eldest grandson, the literary style has improved a lot!" ”
The eldest grandson Chong smiled proudly: "Generally, Datang is the third, but I feel it." This year, our two brothers are back, and the others haven't come back yet! It's going to be sealed in half a month, let's go and get some good things together and bring them over to the brothers, otherwise the two of us will have to be beaten. ”
"That is, I am ready to take out all the private money, I received a letter from Brother Cheng yesterday, many people in the Guannei went there, most of them have no land at home, they are tenant farmers, they are busy all year round, and they can only barely make ends meet, so the court issued an order, so many people packed their bags and went there." Li Yexu replied.
"Good girl, it's a cold day, and I don't know if there are enough houses there to live in?" The eldest grandson Chong said worriedly, don't freeze to death.
As he was talking, Zhou He trotted over and said, "Eldest grandson, please stay!" ”
When Li Yexu saw Zhou He coming, he guessed that His Majesty might have summoned Changsun Chong, so he took his leave.
"Father-in-law Zhou, it's hard work." The eldest grandson Chong was smiling and amiable.
Zhou He leaned forward slightly and said, "It is an honor for the miscellaneous family to be able to run an errand for Your Majesty. Eldest grandson, Your Majesty is invited! ”
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "Thank you Gonggong Zhou for the message, this is a hand warmer, as long as you decorate hot water, you can keep warm for a day." "Changsun Chong gave Zhou He something the size of a palm that resembled a cake.
Like Zhou He, a cronie and servant by Li Er's side, there is no shortage of money, what is lacking is people's respect and care, and the eldest grandson rushed to send this hand warmer, which warmed not only the hand, but also the heart.
Zhou He was also not polite, and said: "Xie Changsun's salary is generous!" Then he walked up to Changsun Chong and muttered in a low voice, "Someone impeached you for monopolizing the power of several textile factories and dyeing factories, and filling your pockets, the eldest grandson had better know it in his heart." ”
When the eldest grandson heard this, he was surprised and said: "These people really live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, if I want to make money, as long as I move my little finger slightly, I can have ten or eight ways to make money, why are you still joking with your head and filling your pocket!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't! But since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. Zhou He echoed and said, feeling the hand warmer in his arms, warm and coaxing, his whole body was also warm, and he didn't feel so cold.
The eldest grandson Chong followed Zhou He to the Taiji Palace, and Li Er was correcting the folds inside! As soon as he entered the door, Changsun Chong's stomach gurgled with hunger.
Li Er raised his head and smiled, then shook his head and said, "Zhou He, pass on breakfast, there is a big stomach king today, get more here." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou He turned around and went out to pass the meal.
"Your Majesty is really thoughtful, I can't do it anymore when I'm hungry, my hands and feet are weak and I don't have strength." The eldest grandson said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, how can you get up when you go to the morning court every day!" ”
"You think everyone is as lazy as you and want to sleep." Li Er reprimanded, "After going to the morning dynasty and having breakfast, I still have to correct it." If there aren't many performances, there won't be much to do in the afternoon, and I can take a nap or read a book and have some fun. ”
"Your Majesty, why don't you save the kid from going to court, I'm really a little unaccustomed." The eldest grandson Chongcai was not happy to get up in the morning and do that, listening to a group of old men chirping crookedly, how could it be comfortable to hold his wife.
Zhou He quickly brought people to a table of breakfast, steamed buns, rice porridge, and a few side dishes.
"You're a person, just blocking, leading and not leaving, and going backwards." When Li Er heard this, he said with disdain, "Some people want to go to the court, but they are not qualified enough, and you still dislike it." ”
"Hey, hey!" Seeing that breakfast was coming, the eldest grandson Chong served a bowl of rice porridge to Li Er, and he also served a bowl of it himself, stirred a few pickles into the porridge twice, and drank it in a big gulp. Maybe it's because it's too hot, and I'm grinning my teeth from being burned.
When Li Er saw the appearance of the eldest grandson, he felt funny, and he didn't say anything: "No one robs you, why are you eating so fast!" ”
"I'm still growing up, I'm hungry early in the morning, I can't wait." Changsun Chong ate as he spoke, and most of the buns and rice porridge on the table were quickly killed!
"Ahem!" Li Er was choked gorgeously, people don't want to be invincible in the world, they are talking about people like Changsun Chong.
"Your Majesty, slow down, it's not enough to get it again, there is definitely still in the imperial dining room, I can't be hungry for you." The eldest grandson Chong was not afraid of death and said, the craftsmanship of this imperial chef is great, and when there are old imperial chefs in the palace, please go home and try the craftsmanship of the imperial chef.
