In the palace, Li Er has been waiting for news for a full month, Xiao Rui can do it with a pat on his chest, and the backhand of dividing the five surnames and seven wangs on my side is ready, just wait for you to make an agreement, and immediately send someone to fan the flames and start the rectification. It's good now, you told me to go home? Just put a cruel word? There's a fart!

People bite you to death and don't marry your daughter, although you are ruthless, no one dares to marry you? It's a big deal that people send their daughters to become monks and become female crowns......

"Go, tell Xiao Rui this stunned man, and enter the palace to see me as soon as he comes back! Don't want to hide in Xiaojiazhuang. ”

……

Hide? Why should I hide? I spent a month of hard work in Qinghe, thousands of miles back and forth, just for your son's marriage, can I do it if I don't ask you for benefits?

Xiao Rui took Li Chengqian and entered the palace with great interest.

"Heh, isn't this patting his chest and saying, Marquis Xiao, who has achieved success? How did you come back so quickly? Came back with a harsh word? The emperor sneered.

Forehead...... Xiao Ruixin said, did you take the wrong medicine?

"Father, brother-in-law helped get things done." Li Chengqian hurriedly helped.

"It's finished?" Li Er looked at Xiao Rui suspiciously.

Xiao Rui looked around, and then said to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, you go to see the queen mother first." I have something to say to Your Majesty. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling who were present also exited with interest, including the inner servant Lao Gao. There are two sons-in-law in the small study.

Xiao Rui explained: "Father-in-law, Cui Shouzhen agreed to marry his daughter. ”

"Oh? Promised? So what's going on with the rumors out there? ”

"It was a maze that we deliberately set up. Cui Shouzhen agreed to marry his daughter, but he didn't want to break away from the five surnames and Qiwang, and he didn't want to be squeezed by several other families, so he could only make this decision. ”

Li Er frowned and said, "What?" My prince marries his daughter, and he still has to hide it? ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Of course not. If I'm not mistaken, your side is ready, as long as the family affair is completed, it will start to divide and suppress the five surnames and seven hopes, right? ”

Li Er nodded and acknowledged.

Cui Shouzhen also saw this. They don't want to admit defeat yet, so they don't want to be suppressed because of this. ”

Li Er was puzzled: "In that case, why did he agree to marry his daughter?" ”

"That's because I showed him something, and I clearly told him that the five surnames and seven hopes, and even the entire scholar class, were going to change the sky. It scared him, and marrying a daughter was also a gamble. ”

Wager?

"Yes, when we defeat the five surnames and seven wangs, we can pick up people in a grand manner." Xiao Rui said confidently.

Li Er glanced at him and said, "Nonsense! Is it so easy to defeat the five surnames and seven hopes? How can they be uprooted without a dozen or twenty years, or even longer? Is it possible to make Chengqian wait for decades? That's how you think about it? ”

Xiao Rui had long been accustomed to quarreling with the emperor, and he was not in a hurry, he sat down leisurely and poured water and drank tea by himself, so angry that the emperor really wanted to kick it.

"Father-in-law, Xu Jingzong and Cen Wenwen have achieved results over there."

Well? Li Er was stunned.

"The new papermaking technology has been improved to the third generation, and the cost of papermaking has been reduced again."

It's true?

"In addition, I improved the printing technique and printed a brand new booklet, which was typeset and printed in just one day."

Hearing this, Li Er's heartbeat accelerated a little.

It seemed that his throat was a little dry, swallowed his saliva, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and Li Er asked in a deep voice, "You mean?" ”

"That's right, our 10-year literacy program can be implemented."

It's true?

Xiao Rui told the emperor about the previous set in the Cui family, and Li Er's eyes were full of brilliance, and he couldn't stop applauding.

"So, you told Cui Shouzhen all this? Was he scared? ”

"That's right, he's a smart guy who understands the situation. The trend is irreversible. We are doing all this because of a conspiracy, and they can't stop it. ”

Li Er stroked his palm and praised: "Good, very good!" Virtuous son-in-law, tomorrow, tomorrow's court, you must come. Let's talk about this literacy plan. ”

Bah...... True snobbery.

You just called me a dumbfounder, and now I'm a virtuous son-in-law? Are you the emperor? Or a chameleon?

At the next day's court meeting, the emperor proposed a national literacy campaign, which was like a nuclear bomb, which stunned the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Especially the officials of these big families with the five surnames and seven wangs.

But they didn't dare to stand up and oppose it openly, this is to achieve the lifelong goal of Sage Kong, open up the wisdom of the people, and let everyone have books to read. Whoever dares to stop it is the enemy of the world.

The first layer of the scholar clan is indeed powerful, but compared to the common people in the world, it is a drop in the blood, who dares to stop the common people from reading and writing, then there is no need for the imperial court to control, the people can spontaneously gather together and smash their temple.

After three days of deliberations at the special court meeting, it was decided to launch two measures first, one of which was that the local government was responsible for selling three copies of Mongolian studies, one copy for one penny, and everyone could buy it. The price is unified across the country, and it is strictly forbidden for any private person or government to increase the price, and if one is found, he will be immediately imprisoned and severely punished.

In addition, at the entrance of each county yamen, the book is engraved Xuanhua, and on the fifteenth day of every new year, the county orders from all over the country must go out in person to teach the people about the engraved books of Mongolian studies.

Why are there so few people reading in Datang? One is that books are precious, and the other is that there is a shortage of private school teachers, and many people buy two books at home, but there is no one to teach them to read, which is also useless. And more ordinary people are poor families, food and clothing are a problem, where is the spare money and time to read?

Now there is a policy, and the county has ordered to go out to teach on the 15th day of the first month of the new year, specifically teaching Mengxue literacy, which has greatly alleviated the problem of not having Mr. Mengxue.

Xiao Rui even organized a group of people to compile the three-character warp into nursery rhymes and spread them all over the world. In this way, while reciting nursery rhymes, the children can gradually recognize many words by comparing them with the stone carvings at the entrance of the county government.

In short, this policy and endless means are not only five surnames and seven hopes, but many gate valve families are panicking.

The reason why the scholars have been able to prosper for a long time is because of literacy. No, it's because he controls the readers all year round. Each powerful family has its own high-end, secret family heritage, which is the foundation of each family.

The children of ordinary people, no matter how talented they are, have no way to read and write, can't they still be officials?

But now, first of all, potatoes and grain are promoted throughout the country, so that everyone can afford to eat. Now that books are so cheap that they cost a penny, everyone can afford to read books, or in a few years, everyone in the world will be literate, so wouldn't the court be able to use whoever they want to be officials? How can you only use the children of the scholars? Xiao Rui and the emperor are a serial scheme.

"What to do? What to do? A book for a penny? Not to mention the children of the poor family, even those beggars on the streets, who can beg for a penny a day. Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui...... This is a real conspiracy, how to break the game? ”

Not only the Xingyang Zheng family and the Fanyang Lu family, but almost all families are worried.

Of course, there are also many families who applaud, such as the descendants of the Confucian saints, Kong Yingda of the Confucian family personally came to the door to thank them. The descendants of the resurrection of Yan Hui, Yan Shigu of the Yan family also sent congratulatory gifts......

For a while, Xiaojiazhuang was lively, and there were many fresh faces.

Xiao Rui couldn't push it off, and he didn't like to socialize, so he could only invite the teacher Li Gang over.

Kong Yingda mentioned: "Master Hou, since the books are all for a penny, why don't you just distribute them for free?" Wouldn't that lighten the burden on the people, so that more people can read and write faster? ”

Gratis?

Xiao Rui wants to vomit blood, for a penny, I have to take the freight, you still want me to be free? That can't be compensated? Are you here to congratulate? Or are you here to block me?

Zhao Deyan smiled and said: "Confucius sacrifice wine, free things, people may not cherish it." In the next once suggested that Hou Ye price ten wen a volume, only let the people feel that reading and literacy are not easy to come by, and they will work harder to cherish the opportunity. ”

"It's a pity that Master Hou is kind-hearted and doesn't want to earn the people's hard-earned money."

Hiss......

Kong Yingda arched his hand and said: "What Mr. Zhao said is that he is confused, and it really shouldn't be free." ”

Xiao Rui's eyes rolled, and a thought sprouted, since there are so many great Confucian families, how can you not take advantage of it? Eradicating illiteracy is everyone's responsibility!
