Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine People Are Missing
Thanks to Wang Wangshun for asking for the rebellion of Feng Nianjian, the book friends for the rewards of 20180217200813546 and the support of all book friends.
Li You said, "Master, I'm hungry and I have to go back to the house to have dinner."
The old man was scratched to the point where he was not willing to let him go, and said, "What do you want to eat? The old minister asked someone to make it for you."
Li You said: "Master, this is nothing. I will come back to discuss with you about the Five Classics. Today I am talking about another thing."
"Please tell me your Highness." Kong Yingda said.
"Master, I will ask you something. You said that a county with a population of tens of thousands has only one official school and a few dozen students, isn't it too few?"
When Kong Yingda mentioned this, he said:
"I have taught and educated people all my life, and of course I hope that the more schools the better. I have been busy with this matter when I was in the previous dynasty. This dynasty also advised Your Majesty to increase the number of official schools, but Your Majesty ignored the old minister's opinions. Alas, I won't say it."
"Master, I ask you, a young man is eager to learn and motivated, and has both good character and academic performance. Because of his poor background, he cannot serve the country. Is this reasonable?" Li You asked.
"It is unreasonable that a person cannot choose his origin, but he can be wholeheartedly good, learn Confucianism, be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and should not deprive him of the power to serve the country." Kong Yingda said.
"Master, you are still open-minded. Unlike those who are not as good as ancient people, you only take the truth from doing things and do not consider them for the court and the people of the world. Regardless of whether things are beneficial to the court and the people, as long as they do not meet their wishes, they will blindly oppose them.
They are not as good as you. When they encounter something that can improve people's livelihood, they will definitely not object." Li You continued to put a high hat on the old man.
Kong Yingda said: "For the country and the people are the essence of Confucianism. I naturally support the benefit of the people."
Li You said solemnly: "Master, there is a great opportunity to benefit poor students in the world. This is the case..."
After listening to it, Kong Yingda's face was unstable. To be honest, he had always opposed this, which was inconsistent with the feudal ethics system he advocated.
However, Li You's many preparations in advance made him unanimous. He asked a few questions, and Li You answered one by one on behalf of Li Shimin. After the old man got these guarantees, he finally nodded and agreed.
Kong Yingda's credibility is absolutely guaranteed and his words are like a mountain. Li You breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, we have to convince Xiao Qian, the old stubborn.
Just as Li You was acting, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were talking to others, working hard to achieve the first step.
Since Zhou Qian was in charge of the business of Xique Trading Company, he has basically been in the West City every afternoon and met many shopkeepers of the trading company. On that day, he invited some powerful shopkeepers to meet in the store.
Zhou Qian said openly: "Dear shopkeepers, my Zhou Qian's true identity is the head of the Qi Palace. Today, I am talking to you on behalf of my prince."
The shopkeepers had heard and guessed that Zhou Qian had a relationship with His Highness King Qi, but now his identity has been confirmed. Everyone was a little nervous and didn't know what he was going to say.
Zhou Qian said something to them solemnly, and everyone was excited. Jia Jinxian, the largest grain merchant in Chang'an City, said excitedly: "Are you serious about this?"
Zhou Gan said, "Tell me the truth, my prince means His Majesty.
My prince is different from others. He has a very high evaluation of the role of businessmen. He believes that business is an indispensable and important part of society. With the development of society, the status of business will be further improved."
Businessmen generally have a good view of Li You. The People's Livelihood Research Institute specially established a commercial office, which was also considered by merchants as a signal that the court began to improve the status of merchants.
Jia Jinxian immediately said: "I don't care what others think, the people are willing to do this."
"We are all willing, too." The merchants said together.
Zhou Gan said: "You are so...
"The grass-roots people will do the same!" The merchants agreed.
Jingyang County.
Zhao Jingshu returned to Jingyang County, accompanied by the current county magistrate, convened several of the largest merchants in the county and held a discussion with them.
Zhao Jingshu talked about the purpose of this trip and received positive response from the merchants. After selection, he determined the list of participating in the plan and submitted an application report to the Shangshu Province in the name of the Jingyang County Government.
Now, Xiao Gan is the hardest bone left.
Compared to Kong Yingda, Li You thinks that Xiao Gan’s work should be easier, at least in terms of running a school, everyone’s goals are the same.
The Palace of King Qi.
Today is the legal holiday. Li You, Zhang Baogui and Yin Guanghao are chatting while waiting for news from Tian Min.
Tian Min went to Xiao’s house to submit a message to Li You on behalf of Li You.
Not long after, Tian Min came back. He said awkwardly: "Xiao Pushe will not see the guests, and he said it straight, especially for you, he will not see you."
"Ah?" Now, Li You and the other two were stunned.
Li You asked, "This shouldn't be true, what's going on?"
Tian Min shook her head and said, "I went to Xiao Mansion and didn't see Xiao Pushe. What I saw was Xiao Shilang (Xiao Dongchang, the Minister of Personnel). He said Xiao Pushe was in poor health and did not see guests. He also said that Xiao Pushe had nothing to talk to you."
Li You was puzzled and said, "This Lord Xiao is really a weird person. I don't know what's going on. He always opposes me in the court.
Did I call him or provoke him?"
Zhang Baogui and Yin Guanghao were both depressed and kept scratching their heads there. They didn't know that Li You was completing the court's plan, thinking that he was just going to mediate the relationship between Li Shimin and Xiao Gan.
When Zhang Baogui saw Li You a little depressed, he comforted him and said, "Brother You, it's not your fault for this matter. It's because their Xiao family doesn't see guests, so the little lady of the Xiao family won't blame you."
Yin Guanghao didn't speak, staring at him and he said, "Brother You, this thing should actually be like this. You will do the work where Your Majesty is, and Xiao Pushe's work where Your Majesty should do the work where Xiao's family should do it.
You represent Your Majesty. If you have any objections to Your Majesty, how can you talk to you?"
Li You's eyes lit up and he praised, "Oh, why didn't I expect it? Third brother, you are still smart and much better than precious. A good idea, just do this?"
Zhang Baogui stopped doing it and said, "Brother You, if Guanghao is smart, you should be smart. Why did you attack me? Who am I going to provoke whom?"
Li You smiled and said, "You are a bastard, you will be smart immediately if you take out a hundred thousand coins."
Zhang Baogui immediately shook his head and said, "I have no money, I am stupid, I am stupid, I am happy."
"Baihu, go to the orphanage immediately, find Xiaoqing, and ask her to inform the Xiao family's wife, and say I want to meet her." Li You said.
