Chapter 155: Sending Sincerity
"Oh! I also know that it is not a matter of overnight success to complete such a thing, so I decided to open an institution in major prefectures and counties. As long as I am a student of the Tang Dynasty, I can study for free. Anyone with excellent academic performance can be recommended by a bachelor's degree and participate in the annual imperial examination, so as to achieve the first step of teaching without distinction."
When talking about this, Li Er's tone was quite heavy. These things sound simple, but it was too difficult to operate them.
If it weren't for the fullness of the treasury today, he wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing. Fortunately, the appearance of Xiao Zhengtai gave the court a stable income, so he dared to have such an idea. It was poverty that restricted his imagination.
After hearing Li Er's words, Tan Yu's face became even more ugly. He never dreamed that His Majesty was not talking casually, but planning for a long time, but it was just delayed until now.
Tan Yu did not speak anymore, but closed his eyes and rested. No one knew what he was thinking.
It is not a fool to be able to sit in his current position. Things have reached an irreversible level. If you continue to get entangled, you are simply asking for trouble.
"Cithie Tan, what should I do now? Do you have to watch if Your Majesty can start the school? Once the school is established, who else is willing to rely on us in the future?"
After the court dispersed, Tan Yu and others who had just been united on the front gathered together again to discuss countermeasures. His Majesty's sudden actions seriously affected their interests, which forced them to treat them with caution.
You should know that before cheap paper and books appeared, they were all students everywhere, and not everyone was qualified to be their disciples, so their non-ferrous income was very considerable.
Once the institution is established, the status of poor students in the Tang Dynasty will immediately rise and become disciples of the emperor. Even if they are willing to recruit disciples in the future, no one will come.
"How is it possible? Once the school is established, then there will be no place for us to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty in the future. Therefore, the only solution is to try every means to take over this matter. After all, we are from the Wenmo family and have the right to speak in this regard!"
Tan Yu sneered, as long as he took things over, nothing would change.
"I really admire him for being thoughtful."
...
After hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up, and this is indeed the best solution.
"It is understandable that Your Majesty can do such a feat. If you think this will be a blow and affect us, it would be too sarcastic."
After hearing these flattering words, Tan Yu's old face couldn't help but look proud. Jiang was still so hot, and His Majesty was still too tender.
However, just as these people were conspiring to discuss, Chang'an City became lively again, and I don't know who was wandering in the streets and alleys and announced the contents of today's court.
"Have you heard that? Your Majesty has a new feat. He plans to open schools in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, everyone will not need to spend money on studying."
"It's true or false. If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that all the students in the world will become disciples of the emperor? Is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible? I heard that students who study in the future are not only free, but also excellent students can also get recommended by bachelors to participate in the imperial examination. Once they get a one-and-a-half-position position through the imperial examination, they will be able to reach the top in one step."
"Hmph! Just think about these things. How could there be a pie drop in the sky? I have heard that His Majesty's feat has been opposed by many Wenmo families. Isn't there a result yet?"
"Damn it, I heard of these scums. In the past, if you want to be their disciples, it depends on whether you have wisdom, sincerity, paralysis, and some bullshit sincerity, that is, you need money. The more money, the more sincerity you will have."
"Shh! Everyone knows these things, there is no need to say them out, it's not that I'm bragging to you, I have a brother who works in the palace. Why are the rice paper books in the past so expensive? It's because of the monopoly of the literary and mo families that caused this situation.
Your Majesty is pitiful to poor students in the world and is rejected, so the cheap paper and books he has produced will benefit the people in the world."
...
The well-founded sayings continue to spread throughout the streets and alleys in Chang'an City. The rapid publicity effect is simply astonishing.
After hearing the news, those students who could not afford to read almost cried out directly, and each one knelt down in the direction of the palace.
What's more, he directly erected a tablet of immortality for Li Er at home, and provided incense day and night to pray for His Majesty.
The scandals of the Wenmo family spread like wildfire, and without realizing it, they vaguely became the second Cui family.
Tan Yu and others had no idea what was going on outside the world, and were still planning in detail how they would take action and force His Majesty to hand over this matter to them, and then how they could maximize their interests.
"Look, everyone, that old man is Jingshi Tan, and the officials behind him are officials who oppose His Majesty's will."
Just as the crowd had just walked out of the government office of Censor Tan, a group of people suddenly appeared on the street, and I don’t know who was shouting loudly among the crowd.
"Rareless! Who are you? Why do you want to surround the home of this censor?"
Tan Yu and the officials looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. Since they were blocking their homes, they naturally had to come out and ask.
He was an important official in the court, and he could not offend these sluts. He took a step forward and looked at everyone with great pride, without any timidity.
"I'll go to your mother! I'm here today to show sincerity."
An angry curse suddenly came from the crowd, followed by a basket of tattered vegetable leaves and rotten eggs hitting the old man's face.
"Ouch!"
Tan Yu exclaimed in pain, and then a stinking smell hit his nose, almost hitting him directly.
The first one to do something was going on, and then the officials felt that the sunlight above their heads suddenly disappeared, and a black object was about to hit them.
There was no exception. All of them were hit by rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, and things, and they fled back to Tan Yu's home in a very embarrassed manner.
"Are you rebelling? Believe it or not..."
Tan Yu stared at the people not far away with hissing and roared.
But whoever has time to listen to him, responding to him is just the crazier vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
I don’t know which fierce man even made a bunch of fresh cow dung, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, and when he grabbed it, he was like throwing it from a group of officials.
"Come on, what happened outside? Vomit..."
Tan Yu, who returned to the mansion in a mess, called the butler directly and asked in anger, but then he felt violently retching.
The housekeeper naturally did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly said the wind he heard, and then took a few steps back carefully and left a little distance from Tan Yu and others. It was so eye-catching.
"Bastard, which bastard is seriously hurting us behind the scenes?"
After hearing the butler's words, everyone's faces changed. They all knew what such news smelled.
If things cannot be solved in the shortest time, the next thing may be even worse.
