Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred twenty-eight, draw salary from the bottom of the pot

Pei Xingjian finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the words of His Royal Highness, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. This time, facing the ancestors and ancestors, it was considered an explanation. m..

No one of the villagers dared to ask all of this suddenly. Like the Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General’s Datang soldiers, why did they want to build a simple wooden house? Even the most respected old lady in the village did not know whether it was happy or not. worry.

I just sent someone to ask for my opinion, but before I finished speaking, I assumed that I agreed, and then the scene in front of me began.

The villagers who had nothing to do in Xuetian, watched the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty eagerly dragged the trees with dozens of war horses to the clearing. A group of people borrowed from the villagers’ house is slightly better than tied with branches. Some brooms swept out a large area.

As the villagers talked and laughed when they saw these soldiers working, the tension and fear in their hearts gradually disappeared.

When people are unclear about an unknown food, they often choose to hide and observe, just like a beast in a mountain.

But when you understand the habits of these people and feel that you will not hurt yourself, or when you face these beasts and have enough self-protection ability, you will become more and more courageous.

In less than an hour, the villagers dared to surround the open space and watch the Datang soldiers build wooden houses. When they knew that these wooden houses were the school of the future, some people showed excitement on their faces. , Some are still hesitant, unwilling to have their children come to study.

"You dead ghost, why did you agree to it at the beginning? I didn't want you to say nothing. Now that people have built a school, you don’t want to go. Look at it. You look like a wolf like a tiger. Dare to provoke?" A middle-aged woman kicked the man next to her calf and scolded in dissatisfaction.

My family’s labor is low, and the fields have been reclaimed a lot last year. Four children, one younger than one, were the eldest and second child in the first two years. None of them can help much with farming.

Now it's too much to be pulled into labor, and I can help my family with some farm work, but unexpectedly, I was put on my neck with a crossbow and went to this school.

What is the use of learning Chinese characters? You can't eat it as a meal, and you can't grow crops. Can you recognize a few words? The crops in the ground can come out of your own without planting them.

"Don't say a few words, why don't you say it? Why don't you tell me if someone is holding that dark and cold guy, why don't you just hide in the corner?" The man habitually patted his leg. The robe covered with footprints said impatiently.

Some people quarreled and some people were curious. After looking at the soldiers who put down their weapons and picked up the planks, they were not as terrible as they thought, they began to try to find words to the soldiers who were working hard.

"Big brother, why are you helping those two people build a school? Who are they?"

"Yeah, why do you want to help them? They have lived with us for a while."

"Aren't you here to catch them back to the city?"

"If you catch something back to the city, it looks like the son and the young lady of the wealthy family. The school is built for our own good, maybe it is the county magistrate of Xingyang."

"It's good if it is built, but who will learn it? You can't let the husband run thirty miles, come here to learn?"

Several households are happy, and those who worry about households have a lot of labor. After being able to eat and solve their food and clothing, they will place their hopes on the next generation. I hope that the next generation can be respected like the neighbors. Naturally, The school is absolutely supportive.

But no matter what the villagers asked, none of the soldiers who were immersed in their work was willing to answer their words.

Pei Xingjian is also full of doubts. It is a good thing to build a school, but who will receive it? You can't distribute the students from Chongwenguan here, right?

"Let’s go back to Xingyang tomorrow morning. Bring me the Patriarch of Zheng’s family in Xingyang. I’m going to try if this method is feasible." Li Hong shouted around and gathered dozens of people, walking slowly along the stream. The open space here came over.

"Yes, Your Highness, when I go back tomorrow, I will bring people here." Pei Xingjian didn't understand what Li Hong was going to do, but he answered firmly.

"Don’t come. A dignified Shang Shusheng shoots right away. You don’t feel tired from running these trivial things every day. In addition to the Patriarch of the Zheng family, it’s best to bring a few gentlemen who can learn. ."

Pei Xingjian understood now, but after thinking about it, he said with some worry: "His Royal Highness, this move is not appropriate? Now the Zheng family in Xingyang is a sinner, so let it go..."

"Who said to let them go? Didn't they just feel unwilling because of their influence among the world's scholars and was weakened by me? Then I will give them another chance to like to teach and educate people. Let them get over the addiction that likes to worship the scholars of the world." Li Hong pulled out a sneer from the corner of his mouth, stood next to the clearing, and looked at the thick tree trunks as pillars.

Originally, the open space was surrounded by the people watching the excitement. When they saw the new villagers approaching surrounded by the crowd, dozens of soldiers ran over and stopped them to the other three sides of the open space. Out of the empty side, the new villager stood with another middle-aged man.

At this time, no matter how stupid the villagers were, they knew that this new villager could not be a villager, let alone any domestic slave who ran out with the maid secretly.

The rumors were naturally debunked when Li Hong stood here, but what the identity of the new villager really is, has become a question mark in the hearts of the villagers.

So while watching the construction of the school, one would secretly glance at Li Hong and others from time to time, and guess in their hearts which noble son Li Hong is.

Li Hong faced Pei Xingjian with a somewhat worried look, and lightly explained: "Naturally, it is impossible for them to be taught in the name of the Zheng family in Xingyang. They are all sinners. How can they be famous? Right? So, whoever comes to study here can only come here under the name of Donggong Chongwenguan, not just the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Cui family in Boring, and the Wang family in Taiyuan. , Oh, yes, all the expenses of the school are also funded by them."

Pei Xingjian's eyes flashed when he heard it: "Your Majesty is a good strategy. In this way, the newly trained scholars will only know the Donggong Chongwenguan, and will not remember him Xingyang Zheng, but you With their self-proclaimed duty of teaching and educating people for the world, they firmly bound them, making them a member of Chongwenguan, and completely dissolving their own influence, leaving them only dumb to eat coptis , I can’t tell if there is suffering. If there are any more dissatisfaction, it is not for the gentleman."

"Hey, that's what it means. In this way, ten years later, new scholars in the world will only remember the virtues of the imperial court and Chongwenguan. As for their five surnames and seven hopes, they are just a branch of the Eastern Palace. , Its influence... With the consumption of financial resources, how much will be left?" Li Hong said triumphantly, smiling like "traitor" Cao Cao.

"But what about ten years from now? What should they do when their five surnames are unable to make ends meet? At that time, they will no longer be guilty of learning as they do today, and even within a few years, they will Dissatisfaction began to arise." Pei Xingjian, like everyone in this period, will think of getting it right once and for all after getting a good idea.

In their thinking, just like the thought of a ruler of five thousand people, they always think that the generation of a law and a law is permanent, no matter how the court or the society changes, these The laws and regulations should not be changed.

For them, flexibility means denying the greatness of the ancestors and sages, disrespect for the sages’ decision-making, and betraying the ancestors.

Li Hong looked at the hot scene, then looked at the villagers who would normally greet him, smiled and nodded to them, and then signaled Pei Xingjian to leave.

"As a decision-maker, you must always be confident that every decision you make is correct. Similarly, you must always be able to listen to the advice and suggestions of your subordinates with an humility. When the practice proves that your decision is completely wrong, you must have the courage to admit it. , You must have the courage to take on the responsibilities brought about by decision-making, and you must have the courage to get rid of the chaos, so that you can control the decision-making organization you are in. Moreover, everything in this world is in change, nothing is immutable, and flexibility is to become The characteristics required by a successful superior, on the battlefield, people dig trenches to stop your cavalry, you know how to be flexible, why don’t you know how to be flexible when it comes to the great event of the court? Three or five years later, the five surnames and seven hopes will meet There is ~IndoMTL.com~ but it will not exist in its current form, no one can tell." Li Hongchang thought that in his grand plan, he found a way to really weaken the five surnames and seven hopes. Happy from the inside out.

"His Royal Highness teaches me, the minister wants to know what should I do when it comes to the five surnames and Qiwang, or the Zheng family of Xingyang?" Pei Xingjian said to Li Hong as a disciple.

This made the villagers who were not far away from them almost dropped their jaws when they were peeping!

In the age when the elders are respected, a person in his fifties actually bows to a disciple in his twenties! This...who is this new villager? Why is it so powerful! So noble!

"The Zheng family of Xingyang should be among the five surnames and seven sights. The influence is now the smallest, but its influence is still not comparable to that of other rich and nobles. Therefore, in ten years, if their financial resources support If not, then they will give the court’s ceremonial department an instrument, and then the court will order the ceremonial department to allocate money. The Patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang has died in less than ten years. What should we do next? It’s okay. How about the Patriarch coming out and letting him be Patriarch for five years? If you can’t change it again, then, within a few years, the imperial court can even send humanists to accept the Zheng family of Xingyang. So... At this time, the Zheng family of Xingyang is still Is the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

"Using teaching and educating people as the criterion, let Xingyang Zheng’s financial resources and influence disappear after being absorbed by the court, and then the court will allocate funds for support? The family head is controlled by the court, then... Isn’t it the change of the Zheng family in Xingyang? Has the Xingyang Zheng family become the imperial court? Has it become the different kinds of Chongwenguan, Hongwenguan, and Guozijian in the hands of the imperial court?" Pei Xingjian was shocked. Your Royal Highness is taking a salary from the bottom of the pot. Ah, there is only one piece of skin left.
