Chapter 201: The Third Knife

"Librarian? School? Headmaster? Free education? ”

When these words entered his brain from his ears, Kong Yingda's whole person trembled with excitement and said, "What King Chu said is true?" ”

Li Kuan smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "How dare you deceive Confucius!" ”

Kong Yingda is Li Kuan's third knife against the family.

For the family, the loss of wealth and the loss of prestige are not fatal.

Wealth can be earned slowly, prestige can be re-accumulated, and after a few generations, all the black spots that were once there will be buried over time.

But there was only one thing they couldn't afford to lose.

The monopoly of knowledge.

Why is the Maison a Maison?

A family of families, a family of generations!

Because they have a heritage, they call it a family.

And what is the most important thing in their legacy?

Book!

Although books cannot guarantee the eternal prosperity of their family, they guarantee their capital to make a comeback, and ensure that they will not fall into the lower echelons of confidence no matter what.

Even if they are weakened, once they have the opportunity, they can ride the wind by relying on the books that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Take the original Xue Rengui as an example.

The original Xue Rengui had to farm for a living because of his family's downfall.

But then he succeeded in rising again, and eventually became the prince of Binh Duong.

And what is the reason for this?

Is it because he is a genius!?

Yes, but not all!

The reason why he was able to rise is that in addition to being a genius in the sky, he is also inseparable from the inheritance.

As a descendant of Xue Andu, the king of Hedong, Xue Rengui's family has a lot of military books handed down by his ancestors, and it is precisely because of these military books, coupled with a little luck and a little talent, that he can climb step by step to the status of the prince of Pingyang County.

And why have ordinary people not been able to rise?

Is it because they don't have enough IQ?

Or is it because they don't have talent?

No!

Neither!

Under the huge base of civilians, there are always a lot of talents.

But why didn't they rise?

Because they don't have the means to read!

Without reading, they can't master knowledge, and without knowledge, their talent can't be realized, even if they are geniuses, they can't look down on those ordinary children of the family.

Just like a talented athlete and a professionally trained athlete!

Gifted athletes, if not trained, are no match for those who are less talented than them but have been professionally trained.

Of course, there are athletes who are gifted to a terrifying level and will be better than those who have been professionally trained!

However, that is a very rare case and cannot be viewed in a normal light.

And what Li Kuan has to do now is to shrink their advantage infinitely.

The family relies on books to ensure that it has an advantage in the competition of society, so he will spread knowledge, spread books, support the common people and the poor, and shorten the distance between the two sides.

In this way, with the passage of time, the advantages of the family over ordinary people will gradually disappear.

In the end, there is one result!

The family is weakened, the commoners, and the cold are rising!

And at that time, Li Kuan's revenge was completed.

Well, kill them, how can they watch themselves weaken day by day, but they can't do anything about it.

And the library, the school, and free education are Li Kuan's way to accomplish this series of things.

The library increases the amount of knowledge of poor children, and the school allows more people to read and write!

"Do you know that to complete this series of things, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!" Kong Yingda said calmly after being excited.

Kong Yingda is also one of Li Kuan's weapons against the family.

If he wants to do these things, someone must do it, and a teacher will teach him.

But the question is, where did he go to find so many teachers?

You must know that there are many teachers who want free education, and most of the teachers in this era are inextricably related to the family.

In this case, he wants to find enough people, and it will be very difficult!

However, after Li Kuan thought for a while, he thought of Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda's Kong family is also a member of the family, but among the family, the Kong family is not a top family, it can only be regarded as a first-class family.

In terms of prestige, the Kong family is definitely the biggest in the family!

Why?

Because the Confucian family was handed down by Confucius, Kong Yingda is the thirty-first generation grandson of Confucius.

Moreover, Kong Yingda himself is also one of the most famous Confucians in Datang, he has countless "fans" in Datang, and more than half of the scholars and Confucian disciples in Datang are his believers.

In this case, if he stepped forward as the principal, he would definitely be able to find enough teachers, even if there was resistance from the family.

Well, the power of brain-dead fans is infinite, they don't care what interests, what camp, anyway, their idols are right.

As for Kong Yingda is also a family, in the face of Li Kuan's knife against the family, will he refuse or resist?

Li Kuan also took this into account!

The reason why I found Kong Yingda is because he is a person who loves teaching and educating people.

As a great Confucian, he himself was able to become a powerful official, but he refused, and was only willing to hold a position in Guozijian (the highest university in the Tang Dynasty) from beginning to end.

That is, he really can't shirk it this year, so he served as the prince's right concubine again!

However, he did not give up on Guozijian, and he still served as the Guozijian (equivalent to the vice principal).

It can be said that he has well inherited Confucius's idea of teaching without class

It is definitely the best choice for such a person to be the librarian and the principal of the school.

Of course, Kong Yingda is not a particularly perfect person.

He also has his character flaws.

Such as stubbornness.

When Li Chengqian gradually grew up and gradually got better face, Kong Yingda, as his teacher, often pointed out Li Chengqian's mistakes in public, making him lose face and make him lose face.

And Li Shimin, as a father, felt that it was normal for teachers to teach students, and even rewarded Kong Yingda for this, which also laid the groundwork for Li Chengqian's rebellion in the future.

But that's all for later.

As for Kong Yingda's stubbornness, Li Kuan likes it.

It's good to be stubborn!

Being stubborn means that he will not be affected by the family, and this is better for Li Kuan!

"Confucius, rest assured, this king still has this money, and the money to spend is not as much as you think, books are very expensive in the Tang Dynasty, but the price of books in the Great Chu Kingdom is very cheap." Li Kuan said with a smile.

Not to mention Li Kuan's income last year, Guangdatang's income reached 1.5 million yuan, let's just say his income in the past two months.

Because of the dumping without the consequences, Li Kuan's income reached 800,000 yuan in the past two months!

800,000 yuan!

This is converted into Li Kuan's purchasing power before the crossing, which is almost nearly two billion.

And what is the total population of Datang?

Even after these reproductions, the total population of Datang is now 12 or 3 million at most.

In addition, the free education prepared by Li Kuan is only limited to children, and the income of these two months alone is enough to start the preliminary preparations.

Besides!

After this money is invested, it will not only help him fight the family, but more importantly, it can help him popularize education.

In the future, after Li Kuan accepts the Tang Dynasty, he will not be like the establishment of Dachu at the beginning, he has not found a few literate people, and he has not been able to find anyone who can be an official.

"Great Chu Kingdom?" Kong Yingda raised her eyebrows, a little puzzled.

He had heard of the Great Chu Kingdom, but he didn't know much about it.

"Look at these books!"

Li Kuan smiled and took out a few copies of the same Analects from behind him and handed them to Kong Yingda.

"Whoa!"

Kong Yingda took the book, flipped through a few pages, and touched the material of the book, and immediately became excited.

"It's... This... Is this the book? Is this paper? How did you get the text on it? Why are they all the same? Kong Yingda looked at Li Kuan with burning eyes, and asked the bottom of the question.

As a great Confucian, he naturally saw the value contained in these books.

"I don't know, I'm just asking people to go to Dachu to order!" Li Kuan shook his head.

He naturally knew how to get it, but it was too cumbersome to explain, so he simply said he didn't know.

Listening, Kong Yingda was like being poured a basin of cold water, and his excited emotions suddenly calmed down.

Still, he can understand.

This is the same as going to a restaurant to eat, knowing how to eat, knowing where to eat, but not knowing how to do it.

"And how much is that?" Kong Yingda took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

"It's less than five cents a book, and more can be a little cheaper!" Li Kuan shrugged his shoulders and said.

Five cents!?

How cheap could more be?

Hearing this, Kong Yingda's eyes turned red.

You must know that the price of a book in Datang now, even if it is the cheapest, you can't get it without one or two!

It was at this time that Kong Yingda knew why Li Kuan had the confidence to build a library and a school.

Such a cheap book is Li Kuan's greatest confidence!

"Don't say anything, librarian, school principal, I'm all !!" Kong Yingda grabbed Li Kuan's shoulder and said excitedly.
