Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

As soon as Xiao Jie's words came out, everyone in the Tao family couldn't help but gasped, as if they were all frightened by Xiao Jie's tone.

Even Tao Lu couldn't help frowning slightly, his face was a bit dignified, the Tao family just wanted to be among the famous families, but from Xiao Jie's point of view, he seemed to have bigger plans.

According to Xiao Jie himself, the reason why the aristocratic family has been able to stand for hundreds of years is because of its monopoly on Confucian classics, but now Xiao Jie wants to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family on Confucian classics. The foundation, how can the aristocratic family sit idly by and attack it.

With the power of these aristocratic families all over the world, if they fight against Xiao Jie with the same enemy, no matter how powerful Xiao Jie is, I am afraid that he will not be an opponent.

And once things get out of hand, I am afraid that not only Xiao Jie himself will be unable to protect himself, but the Tao family will also become the public enemy of the world's aristocratic families.

Tao Lu originally wanted to persuade Xiao Jie to think twice before acting, but by accident, the words turned into a sentence: "I don't know how Your Highness plans to break the aristocratic family's monopoly on Confucian classics."

Because in his impression, Xiao Jie is not an impulsive and reckless person, and everything is planned before acting. Since he dared to ask the Tao family to help him break the family's monopoly on Confucian classics, he already had some calculations in his mind, so he might as well go ahead. Listen to his strategies and methods to see how feasible they are.

Seeing that Tao Lu didn't dissuade him, Xiao Jie couldn't help but smile slightly, and spit out a few words: "It's very simple, donate to support education."

Tao Lu is an old man, and after a little thought, he instantly understood Xiao Jie's intentions, and secretly felt that Xiao Jie was really scheming.

You must know that although the imperial examination system has been implemented for decades, it is said on the surface that it is necessary to select talents for the imperial court regardless of their background.But in fact, for most ordinary people, it is still a problem to solve the problem of food and clothing for the whole family. How can they have spare money to support their children to study? Therefore, no matter how talented the children of most ordinary people are, they are destined to miss studying It is impossible to have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. In the end, he can only face the loess with his back to the sky like his ancestors did, and the officialdom is still the world of aristocratic families and surnames.

But if someone can provide money to support these talented children to study, maybe they will be able to compete with the children of aristocratic families in the imperial examination in the future, and have a better chance of being named on the gold list.

Once more and more children of ordinary people pass the imperial examinations and become officials, it will inevitably dilute the weight of the aristocratic families in the court, impact their status in the court, and break their monopoly on the court's discourse power , Weaken the power of the aristocratic family.

Tao Lu couldn't help feeling secretly that Xiao Jie was really a good method, such a trick to get rid of the bottom line, the accumulation of several generations of a famous family for hundreds of years, he only used the simplest trick to easily open a gap, although it won't be effective Immediate results, but after years of impact, eventually the aristocratic family will completely lose its monopoly on officialdom.

Even so, Tao Lu still has concerns in his heart. He knows in his heart that since he can see through Xiao Jie's intentions at a glance, there will naturally be people from the aristocratic family who can see through Xiao Jie's "sinister intentions", and they will never be willing to sit and wait for death. , will inevitably counterattack Xiao Jie.

And once the Tao family gets involved, it will become a thorn in the side of the aristocratic family, causing them to retaliate fiercely and fiercely. If they are not careful, the entire Tao family will be in catastrophe.

But just now I made a promise to Xiao Jie's red lips and white teeth, saying that he would support Xiao Jie without reservation and if he wanted to stay out of the matter whenever there was a risk, wouldn't it mean that the Tao family was going back on their promises and breaking their promises, and I'm afraid it would cause trouble Xiao Jie's rejection will not have a good life for the whole Tao family.

Tao Lu was caught in a dilemma for a while, he couldn't help looking at Xiao Jie, but saw Xiao Jie looking at him calmly, apparently waiting for his decision.

Seemingly seeing Tao Lu's embarrassment, Xiao Jie's eyes did not show any anger, but just smiled lightly: "I also know the danger of this move, if my grandfather is concerned about the safety of the clan, I can understand, I will not force The Tao family, let alone embarrass the Tao family. But I, Xiao Jie, will never change what I have decided, even if no one supports me, I will try my best to make it happen."

Tao Lu didn't speak, but glanced at the Tao family members in the inner study with questioning eyes, his eyes seemed a little unpredictable.

Many clansmen lowered their heads one after another when they felt the Patriarch's oppressive gaze.

Although they didn't figure out the joints involved, judging from the solemnity of King Qi and the Patriarch, King Qi's intention was not as simple as donating money to help students on the surface, maybe it would bring disaster to the Tao family instead.

Tao Lu looked a little disappointed, because except for his third son Tao Lin, everyone lowered their heads, including Xiao Jie's father-in-law Tao Song.

At this moment, Tao Lu made up his mind instead.

Tao family, it's time to make a change.

Perhaps it was because after defecting to Xiao Jie, the Tao family no longer had any worries. After a long time of ease, many members of the Tao family lost their enterprising spirit. Risk, in the long run, the Tao family will collapse internally without the need for external forces to do anything.

Instead of watching the Tao family continue to sink, it is better to follow Xiao Jie and fight for a more promising future for the Tao family.

Even Tao Lu thought that now the Tao family has been labeled by the world as a party of the king of Qi. Even if the Tao family wants to stay out of the matter, once Xiao Jie fails in the future, the aristocratic family who has been eyeing the Tao family will never let it go Tao family.

Since the Tao family is doomed not to be alone, why not fight vigorously with Xiao Jie. Once things are done, the Tao family will be the upstart of the Daning Dynasty in the future, and there will be no need to look at anyone's face in the future.

Thinking of this, Tao Lu no longer showed any hesitation on his face, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, our Tao family still says the same thing, we are willing to support Your Highness without reservation."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, as if he had long been sure that Tao Lu would make such a decision. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Tao family had long been his henchmen, and he was the son-in-law of the Tao family. The road went dark.

However, Tao Lu's statement still made him very gratified. The Tao family lived up to his repeated support for them and made the most correct choice at the critical moment.

"Grandfather-in-law, don't worry, I've been planning this matter for a long time. Not to mention that it's safe, I'm at least [-]% sure. If the Tao family treats me like this, I will definitely live up to the Tao family in the future." Promise of.

Tao Lu also nodded heavily at Xiao Jie: "I believe Your Highness will succeed."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "According to my grandfather's auspicious words, in fact, the donation to study is not only to help me, but also to enhance the reputation and status of the Tao family and merchants in the hearts of the world."

Tao Lu couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but after taking a closer look, he instantly understood what Xiao Jie meant.

If the Tao family subsidizes the children of ordinary people to study in large quantities, not only the families of these children will be grateful to the Tao family, but once these things are spread, the good deeds of the Tao family will definitely arouse the praise of the world. The image of businessmen and businessmen in the hearts of the people of the world must have a great improvement.

More importantly, once these children who have been favored by the Tao family are enlisted on the gold list and become officials, they will definitely have a good impression of the Tao family, which will also be a great boost to the future development of the Tao family.

From this point of view, following his grandson-in-law was an inadvertent move.
