Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 158 Want money, but also people, Li You decided to cooperate with Guozijian to sell books

When Li Shimin heard this, he was also full of helplessness.

There is no money in this treasury, and neither is his private treasury.

Since the beginning of the trade with Turks, the Ministry of Household Affairs has slowed down, but Li Shimin not only failed to reap the benefits, but lost a lot of money.

He asked Li Junxian to raise all the caravan supplies to Pei Ju.

But Pei Ju, who didn't know what to do, handed over all the proceeds to the household department after returning from Turkic.

This made Li Shimin feel aggrieved to whom to tell.

It is impossible for him to ask Li You for money.

In desperation, Li Shimin could only open his mouth and say: "You'er, it is a national policy to promote Hanyu Pinyin and newly edited enlightenment textbooks. If this matter is done, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"Well, after this incident, I will definitely reward you."

"Aren't you the King of Chu? I'll make you the governor of Jingzhou again, and hand over this important place that controls Bashu in the west, connects Xiangyang and Hanshui in the north, leads the Yangtze River in the lap, connects Wuhui in the east, and reaches Guangxi and Guangdong in the south. Give the child control!"

Hearing this promise, both Fang and Du were shocked.

Now the Tang army is under the jurisdiction of the left and right marshals in the Central Plains, while in the local area it is divided into Chongzhefu, and the local governor who can control the local Chongzhefu soldiers.

There are three grades among the governors, and the highest rank is the big governor.

Datang currently has only four governors, namely, the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of Yizhou, the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Jingzhou.

These Metropolitan Governor's Mansions were all set up by Datang after careful consideration, and each one is extremely important.

And Li Shimin actually decided to award such an important position to Li You, who was under eight years old, which made them both a little unbelievable.

Fang Xuanling hastily said, "The post of governor is very important. Although the King of Chu is talented, he is still young. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Although Fang Xuanling was also amazed by Li You's two workshops, but the governor is a military post after all.

Li You is still too young now.

Among other things, riding a horse is a bit difficult.

Li Chengqian's horse fall just now is a lesson from the past. Apart from Li Chengqian being too impatient at the time, it actually has a lot to do with his age and body shape.

After thinking about it for a while, Du Ruhui echoed, "The governor of Jingzhou has a sensitive identity. It's a little risky to appoint the King of Chu rashly!"

In fact, Du Ruhui saw this issue more deeply than Fang Xuanling.

He felt that it was feasible for Li You to become the governor, but it was more risky and needed more foreshadowing.

Little did they know that one objected and the other hesitated, Li You's heart was already fried.

[Li Er, you bad old man is very bad! 】

[Not only do you want to white P my book, but you also want people who work for you. 】

[What do you say about the governor of Jingzhou? I will definitely find another excuse to let labor and management take this position remotely. 】

[At that time, don't say that the money has not been obtained, people will have to work for him all the time. 】

[To put it nicely, he is one of the four major governors. When you are in Chang'an, what you can see are memorials like snowflakes. 】

[It is estimated that those government soldiers will have to ask me for money. 】

[Speaking of the expenses of these government soldiers, they need to go to the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War needs to find the Ministry of Households, or the Ministry of Households to find me! 】

【This old man is really too calculating. 】

[What about an emperor through the ages, he's just a miser!Bloodsucker! 】

"enough!"

Li You was still complaining in his heart, but was interrupted by Li Shimin.

At first Li You poked his thoughts in his heart, Li Shimin was still a little embarrassed.

Later, when Li Shimin heard that he was compared to a ghost or a worm, he really couldn't bear it.

"King Chu, tell me, print 50 enlightenment books for me, what do you want!"

Knowing that the complaints in Li You's heart are endless, Li Shimin is not going to continue to wait for him to think about it slowly.

Anyway, the result was already doomed, and he didn't care about Li You's harsh conditions.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was so angry that Li You was a little confused.

[What's wrong with Li Er, didn't he just say that he would be rewarded. 】

[Could it be that you got angry when Fang Du rejected it? 】

【Li Er's face is not so thin, and Du Ruhui didn't refuse, he just said it was a little risky. 】

[Forget it, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, I won't talk to him anymore at this juncture. 】

Soon Li You also had an idea in his mind.

Li You said: "Father, there is no problem with 50 enlightenment textbooks! It's just that I have an immature idea."

Li Shimin found that being so angry was actually useful, and he was a little surprised, and his anger disappeared immediately.

But in order to make Li You submit obediently, he pretended to be obedient, and asked coldly: "If you have any ideas, tell me!"

Li You didn't notice Li Shimin's acting skills at all, so he continued to speak.

"Father, I am willing to provide the initials and finals for free for teaching pinyin. But I hope that these 50 enlightenment textbooks can be sold in the prefectural and county schools under the Imperial College!"

Looking at Li Shimin's still cold face, Li You quickly added: "Of course, the proceeds from selling these books will be shared with the Imperial College, and [-]% of the sales price will also be turned over to the Ministry of Accounts as tax!"

After saying this, before Li Shimin could react, Fang Xuanling had already applauded.

"The king of Chu's move should benefit the country and the people!"

"It not only solves the crisis of textbooks, but also sends a signal to scholars all over the world."

"The Li and Tang imperial family's education reform was not forced, but voluntary. Compared with the aristocratic family, the price of books in Guozijian is more reasonable."

"In this way, the status of Guozijian will definitely rise again. Perhaps the effect will not be inferior to that before Kong Yingda served as Guozijian's sacrificial wine."

Du Ruhui said: "What Xuan Ling said is absolutely true!"

At this moment, Li Shimin also understood that Li You's book was fairly priced and the content was even more amazing. He was not afraid that the book would not sell.

"Just this matter, will Kong Yingda have any objections?"

After all, when Li Shimin appointed Kong Yingda, he promised him that he would not easily interfere with the affairs of the Imperial College.

Now that Li You suddenly intervened in this way, he was afraid that Kong Yingda would have objections.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "If it were someone else, Old Master Confucius might still have objections, but the King of Chu, I think he would welcome it with his hands up."

Fang Xuanling was also aware of the Pinyin issue, and it was Li You who brought it up.

Fang Xuanling heard Kong Yingda's words of appreciation for Li You from his son who was studying in Chongwen Hall more than once, so Fang Xuanling has [-] confidence in this matter.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui nodded and said, "What Xuanling said is absolutely true!"

[Hey, you people think the problem is too complicated. 】

[I helped Old Master Confucius print books, the price is reasonable, and the quantity is plentiful, what is he dissatisfied with? 】

[Isn't it just using some of his Guozijian staff, and these staff are not in vain.I have to share the proceeds with him. 】

[Guozijian doesn’t allocate much money to the household department. Although tuition fees are also charged, the money is basically used to buy books and maintain classrooms. In fact, the lives of those teachers are not good. 】

[What's so bad about being able to have money to improve the teacher's life. 】

[In this way, Guozijian also has a new income other than teaching, and it is too late for him to be happy! 】

【And I pay taxes to the Ministry of Households at this price, it's not for my own personal gain! 】
