Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 98 A single spark can start a prairie fire

"Establishing the crown prince as soon as possible will help the country stabilize."

"You can't say it too absolutely. If there is no big brother, Datang may not be so stable in these years."

Li Zhi spoke in a flat tone, as if he didn't care the slightest about the current embarrassing situation of the royal family.

In fact, the same is true. He is not very interested in the matter of power change.

It's not that the throne is unfavourable, but that the opponent is too weak.

No one would be too interested in a protracted battle that must be won.

The rank gap between the two is too great.

Occupying such a strong advantage makes this political struggle dull.

However, it may not be so easy in two days.

I'm afraid that as soon as tomorrow's court meeting ends, many people will take the initiative to defect to the prince, right?

Though it does make the fight a little less interesting.

But to be honest, the difficulty has only increased a little bit, it is still the difficulty of heaven.

Even if you play this game lying down, you can probably win the game smoothly.

There is no way, the advantage is so great!

The moment he crossed over, it was a dimensionality reduction blow.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, even losing has become a very difficult thing.

Li Zhi and Li Shimin sat on both sides of the tea table, each thinking about their own thoughts.

After waiting for a while, Li Zhi felt that he had nothing to say, and planned to get up and leave.

But at this moment, Li Shimin opened his mouth to keep him.

"Before we talked about opening up new counties, the implementation of this is now a problem."

"The gentry are unwilling to send out people, and they don't want to fill the newly created job vacancies. What do you think about this?"

There was a problem with Datang's agricultural system, and Li Zhi had previously expressed his views on this matter.

The imperial court also agreed with his point of view and planned to implement this policy.

It is almost inevitable that there will be problems in the process of implementation.

Obviously, Li Shimin encountered difficulties and wanted to hear Li Zhi's opinion.

After all, this plan was proposed by Li Zhi, and no one has more say than him.

Li Zhi heard the content of the question, thought for a while, and asked: "Who is the court planning to let out? Is it the Jingzhao Du family, or the Hongnong Yang family?"

There are only these two big families that are relatively close to Chang'an.

here.

Jingzhao Dushi refers to the descendants of Du Yu in the Western Jin Dynasty.

It can be traced back to Sangong Du Zhou in the Western Han Dynasty.

The more famous people in later generations include Du Fu, Du Mu and others.

There is also Du Ruhui, Duke of Lai, the founding hero who died more than ten years ago, also from this family.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Jingzhao Du family has produced a large number of talents.

As for the Hongnong Yang family, their fortune can also be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty.

The first person in this family to make a fortune was Sima Qian's son-in-law, Yang Chang, who was also an official and Sangong.

The more famous people from Hongnong Yang's family should belong to Yang Biao and Yang Xiu's father and son in the Three Kingdoms period.

As for now, Yang Shidao, the secretary of the court, is a member of the Hongnong Yang family.

However, Li Zhi heard that there was something wrong with Yang Shidao's background, and he didn't get along well with Hongnong Yang's family.

As for the specific situation, he didn't know.

In short, these two are big families.

Although it is not as good as Wuwang and Qixing, it is not much different. They are all the first-class gentry in the world.

Seeing that Li Zhi knew all about these things, Li Shimin went straight to the point.

"It's Jingzhao Du's family. The Du family is not willing to cooperate because of Du He's dismissal."

"The imperial court asked them to send out people, but the Du family refused the imperial court's invitation on the grounds that they had exhausted all their bows."

Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and asked, "Threatening with the reason of setting up an official? How did they react to this matter?"

"Sneer." Li Shimin said rather helplessly: "They are very aware of the current situation of the imperial court, and they know that there are not many people in the imperial court to open new official schools, so their attitude is very tough."

"Then don't count on them, just open a new academy." Li Zhi said with a light smile: "The place is in the Xuanzhengfang, let's open the academy first, as for the problem of no one teaching, it's actually very good solve."

When Li Shimin heard it, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes: "How do you say that?"

"In the spring of next year, isn't there a scientific examination? There will definitely be many students who fail the rankings." Li Zhi said: "The imperial court will come forward to recruit those students who failed the Ming Jing and Ming Fa subjects, and let them fill the vacancies in the academy. As long as it is lured by the opening of the Academy of Imperial College, there should be few people who can withstand this temptation."

Li Shimin quickly understood Li Zhi's intentions, but then he raised a new question: "Then what about the opening of a new county seat? Is that the way to go?"

"In contrast, if the school can be opened, the current problems facing Yongzhou will be nothing."

Li Zhi analyzed the pros and cons for Li Shimin and named him the differences between the two.

"The land is not enough. You can use preferential policies to transfer people to other states. If you want to come to Yongzhou with such a large population, there will always be a few tempted. As long as the benefits given are large enough, this is not a problem."

"But it is not so easy to start a new government school."

"At present, the Du family is unwilling to cooperate. This is a god-sent opportunity."

"As long as the imperial court can manage the first school, it will have an excuse to open the second school."

"As long as you don't go too far and slow down the pace of education development, those gentry will not dare to confront the court."

"After all, the problem lies here. The imperial court has given them a choice, so they don't cherish it, don't they?"

"So, father, you just have to seize this opportunity and take the courage to do it."

"Although the eldest brother said that there are many faults, but he is not wrong in one sentence."

"The world today is in a prosperous age, even if the aristocratic family wants to obstruct it, it will not be so easy."

This is a godsend opportunity for the imperial court to control the education industry in person, and this opportunity must be seized.

There will definitely be resistance, but it will never be too great.

After all, those who can hold important positions in the court are basically divorced from the family.

And Yongzhou is directly under the jurisdiction of the capital, so it is difficult for even the Jingzhao Du family to reach out.

In this way, the establishment of the school is basically a matter of certainty.

Originally, the imperial court had only one school, Guozijian, but now there is another one, and the channels for cultivating talents have directly doubled.

This is definitely a bargain!

Especially because of the lack of teaching resources, this school must be geared towards ordinary people.

As long as the court can start it and prove that ordinary people can also learn knowledge, thereby changing lives.

Then, the spark was successfully ignited.
