Datang infinite pretense system

Li Shimin looked at him squarely and did not escape.

"There must be competition between them!"

Empress Changsun said: "That's right, everyone will compare with each other and want to climb up!"

"That's where the problem lies!"

When Li Chengqian said that, the brows of the two of them instantly opened.

"Gao Ming, you are indeed my son!"

Li Shi's interest became very high, sweeping away the gloom.

Empress Changsun asked at this time: "Then Gao Ming, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, release the news, the officials who have been sick for two days without any reason and have not returned will stay for probation! The official positions will be retained, and the lower-level officials will compete! Whoever is stronger will win!"

"Okay, okay! In this way, those who are sick, if they are not sick, will either come back to be an official, or they will lose their official position! I wonder if they dare to fight against me!"

Li Shimin said bitterly.

"Well, this method is indeed very good, Gao Ming, how did you come up with it?"

Queen Changsun asked.

"Mother, it's actually very simple. The so-called survival of the fittest, since you don't agree, then there is no need for you to exist! Naturally someone will replace you! For the Wang family, this loss is much stronger than the loss of Wang Feng. In the end, Wang Feng can even give up!"

Li Shimin asked: "How do you say this?"

"Because they have nothing to do, and as far as I know, the Taiyuan Wang family has sent new people to take Wang Feng's place. At that time, they will not be able to make any big waves!"

Li Chengqian spoke clearly and logically, and his analysis of every point was very precise.

It shocked the couple very much.

"Gao Ming's words are good, I agree very much!"

At this time, Empress Changsun also asked: "Now that we have a solution to the symptoms, how can we solve the root cause?"

"Cure the root cause, this has to be a long-term process."

The two couples cried out at the same time.

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian said straightly: "Yes, this has to start with education!"

Li Shimin asked, "What happened to education?"

How did it get involved in education?

"The so-called education is the foundation of people's livelihood! After the level of education is improved, then it is not bad for Datang."

Li Shimin became very humble at this time, and asked: "I would like to hear more about it!"

"Your Majesty, today the descendants of the aristocratic family occupy a large number of official positions in the Tang court, do you know why?"

Li Shimin blurted out.

"It's cultural level!"

"That's right, their children can read books, but the poor can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they have time to think about reading? This has caused the current situation. The strong are stronger and occupy more seats, while the poor It is basically impossible for the poor to get ahead."

Li Chengqian said it so bluntly, Li Shimin understood it.

"Gao Ming, do you want to invest a lot of money in education?"

"No! Not many!"

"How much is that?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, investing in education is not only free of money, but may also make a fortune!"

The more he talked about it, the more mysterious it became, Li Shimin wondered, education does not happen overnight, it requires a lot of money to invest.Why don't you need money?Still making money! ?

"Your Majesty, just leave this to my son, and let him solve it step by step."

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to you! I really hope to see a good result!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down!"

Then next, Li Chengqian will make all the aristocratic families tremble!

"Gao Ming, what is your first step?"

"This will be kept secret for the time being, and His Majesty and Queen Mother will know about it tomorrow!"

When Li Chengqian said this, although the two of them really wanted to know, but Li Chengqian was very principled, so they didn't say anything else, and Li Chengqian finally left Tai Chi Palace with an excuse.

Chapter 309 Movable Type Printing (Fourth Change)

As soon as Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he began to recall relevant aspects of education.

After all, he has the ability to be a scholar. The first thing he thought of was the popularization of books. With books, there is a carrier of knowledge.Then there is the foundation of education, and people can read.

At this time, the number of books floating among the people was very small, and books were rare, and people had no money to buy them.

The business of selling books is also in the hands of the aristocratic family. This is a very terrible situation, and he must change it.

Now printing books must be done by people with financial resources, because there must be craftsmen engraving plates and a huge factory.

There are two main reasons for the lack of popularity of books.

The first aspect is that books are expensive, not everyone can afford them.

The second is that paper is expensive and copying is troublesome, and the price is not low.

Why use copied ones instead of printed ones, because the poor can't afford books, so they have to get books by copying.

Although paper is expensive, it cannot be solved in a short time. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian already has a way.

That is to improve the printing technique, a problem that can be solved quickly, first solve the problem of paper, and then solve the problem of paper.

The printing technique at this time was woodblock printing, which could print hundreds or even thousands of books in one edition, which played a great role in the spread of culture, but the rigidity was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it often took several years for large books. For a long time, it takes up a lot of space to store the plates, and they are often damaged due to deformation, insects, and corrosion.

For books that are printed in small runs and do not need to be reprinted, the plates become waste.In addition, if typos are found on the engraving board, it is very difficult to correct it, and the entire board often needs to be re-engraved.

Therefore, movable type printing came into being. Its invention is a great technological revolution in the history of printing. It uses movable metal or clay blocks to replace traditional copying or printing plates that cannot be reused.
