Zheng Shanyi became even more panicked and continued to explain with his mouth trembling.
Zhang Pinggao was too lazy to listen to his explanation anymore, and directly shouted carelessly: "I am now going to open ten or eight elementary schools in the township of Suizhou to benefit my Zhang family's neighbors. I wonder if you, Zheng family, will allow it?"
"
Zhang Pinggao is from Suizhou. Although he has moved to Chang'an, he still has many tribesmen and fellow villagers in Suizhou.
When Zhang Pinggao said this, Zheng Shanyi really didn't dare to accept it.
Let alone him, even if the current head of the Zheng family arrived, he would not dare to pick up Zhang Pinggao's words.
Zhang Ping was a prince, and he was qualified to be exempted from death once. He wanted to open an elementary school in the village to benefit the neighbors, which was not something Zheng could stop.
First of all, the Zheng family is a powerful person in Xingyang, but the Zhang family, who is taller than Zhang Ping, is in Suizhou, which belongs to Guannai Road, and the Zheng family's hands are not that long.
Secondly, Mrs. Zheng is now as thin as a camel, and there is no one who can speak in the court. She is not qualified to criticize Zhang Pinggao's actions.
Thirdly, given Zhang Ping's high status, let alone the Zheng family in Xingyang, even the Cui family, who has a deeper foundation and greater energy than the Zheng family in Xingyang, is not qualified to give advice on how to open elementary schools in the countryside.
Why, a Duke of the country, and the founder of the country, is setting up an elementary school in the village to benefit the village, do you want to ask your opinion?

See what you can do.
A wealthy family has a deep foundation and has in-laws all over the place, but after all, it is just a wealthy family. Even if they are in-laws, it is impossible for anyone to try to protect you.
Therefore, everyone can form an alliance on issues that harm the interests of all wealthy families.
But to target a founding father, or even the entire martial arts community of the Tang Dynasty, for a small matter like opening an elementary school, would be a personal grudge, and other wealthy families would not interfere.
We are just a community of interests, not a community of life and death.
If you are going to die, there is no reason for everyone to die with you.
Therefore, when it comes to setting up an elementary school, even if Zhang Pinggao is unreasonable and messy, Zheng still has a bad temper at Zhang Pinggao, and other wealthy families will not help Zheng.
With Zhang Pinggao starting, other military officials who were closely related to Li Yuan also spoke.
"Brother Zhang is so righteous, and Xu cannot lag behind others. In this way, Xu also opened several elementary schools in Bingzhou to benefit my Xu family's neighbors. He also asked Brother Zhang to help Xu when he went to Zheng for instructions.
I also asked Xu to open an elementary school in Bingzhou. Would Zheng allow it?"
The speaker was Xu Shixu, who was also one of Li Yuan's heroes in Taiyuan's Yuanmou. He was given the title of Duke of Zhending County and currently served as military commander and chief historian in Zuowuhouwei. He was very low-key and rarely showed up unless necessary.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said a decisive word, which directly promoted Zheng to the point where he would not be able to step down without cutting off his flesh.
He said that when Zhang Pinggao went to the Zheng family to ask for instructions, he would also ask for instructions for him.
Who is qualified to ask Zhang Pinggao for instructions?
The answer is His Majesty Li Yuan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Only the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Yuan, was qualified to instruct his Yuanmou hero, Xiao Guogong Zhang Pinggao.
The Zheng family is suddenly more powerful than Li Yuan, so doesn’t the Zheng family want to keep pace with the Li Tang clan?
Is this good enough?
"Then if the king wants to open an elementary school in his hometown, should he also go to the Zheng family to ask for permission and ask if the Zheng family allows it?"
Li Shentong also spoke after Xu Shixu finished speaking.
Although he didn't know Li Yuan's plan, nor why Zhang Pinggao and Xu Shixu were so targeted at Zheng Shanyi on this matter, he did know that Zhang Pinggao and Xu Shixu were both loyal servants of Li Yuan.
The attitudes expressed by the two of them many times represent Li Yuan's attitude.
Since Li Yuan wants to target Zheng Shanyi and the Zheng family, then as another 'loyal servant' of Li Yuan, he will naturally spare no effort to support him.
Not only that, after he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yuanji intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Yuanji had just told him two days ago that he should help Zhang Liang if something happened to him. Now, although Zhang Liang is not in trouble, Zhang Liang's son is in trouble, which indirectly involves the Zheng family.
And judging from the attitudes of Zhang Pinggao and Xu Shixu, Li Yuan obviously wanted to use this matter to beat the Zheng family.
Although he did not guess the whole story, he roughly guessed that this was a conspiracy against the Zheng family. It was planned and implemented by Li Yuan. Li Yuanji also knew about it, but no one told him.
Maybe it's because he's afraid that he might alert someone, or maybe because he's anxious for justice and disrupts his plan.
Anyway, it's absolutely impossible not to tell him the truth because you can't trust him.
After all, when it comes to things like targeting wealthy families, everyone in the Li family is a grasshopper on the same line.
The Li family made its fortune through the wealth of a wealthy family. It is natural to guard against, target, and suppress wealthy families.
Only by eradicating all the wealthy families can the Li family avoid the disasters that the previous Sui Dynasty suffered.
So there is no question of belief or disbelief in this matter.
However, being kept in the dark, especially by his direct relatives, with the intention of excluding him, made him feel a little unhappy.
Li Yuanji felt his gaze and felt the strangeness in his heart through his gaze, but he did not pay attention and continued to watch the play quietly.
He originally thought that if Li Yuan wanted to successfully open an elementary school, he would have to go through a lot of troubles at least to bring together the poor warriors in the court to attack the wealthy families.
But he didn't expect that Li Yuan could bring all the martial arts people together just by relying on the conflict between Zhang Shenwei and Zheng Shanyi, and a few words from Zhang Pinggao and Xu Shixu.
Moreover, before the battle with the Zheng family began, Mongolian learning blossomed in various parts of the Tang Dynasty through the martial arts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today, Zhang Pinggao and Xu Shixu promised in public in the court to open elementary schools in their hometown. They would not just say it casually. I believe that they will fulfill their promise soon.
After all, we are all decent people, and we don’t want to take any money. If we say it in public, it will be like throwing water. If we don’t honor it, it will be a big loss.
With the two Dukes Zhang Pinggao and Xu Shixu supporting them in front, the pressure will be much less after the conflict between Zhang Liang and Zheng.
More importantly, once Meng Xue blossomed throughout the Tang Dynasty and threatened other wealthy families, the first person the other wealthy families would bear grudge against was not the imperial court, but the Zheng family.
After all, looking at this matter from the outside, it was the people of the Zheng family who did not keep their mouth shut and directly opened fire on all the martial arts, arousing the anger of all the martial arts. This situation occurred. The only one to blame is Zheng.
Shi.
Li Yuan's plan not only made a good start for the establishment of an elementary school, but also included the Zheng family. It is not a bad idea.
"The King of Huai'an, Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Zhen Ding generously donated money in order to save money. Mr. Qin is not a stingy person. Mr. Qin is also willing to open several elementary schools in his hometown to benefit his neighbors. I hope Mr. Xiao will go and ask for instructions.
When the time comes, please ask Qin for instructions."
Not long after Li Shentong finished speaking, Qin Qiong also spoke.
However, he did not speak to respond to Li Yuan's plan or the call of Li Shentong and the others, but purely to support Zhang Shenwei.
The matter was so big that Li Shentong, Zhang Pinggao, Xu Shixu and other big bosses all ended up. With Zhang Shenwei's small body, even if he took advantage of it, he might not be able to withstand the Zheng family and the Zheng family.
A group of in-laws fought back.
If he supports Zhang Shenwei at this time, he can also prevent Zheng and Zheng's in-laws from going too far when they counterattack.
After all, when he spoke in court, he often represented the attitude of everyone in Wagang.
If others don't give him face, that means they don't give them the face of everyone from Wagang.
When the time comes to start arguing, you can also form a gang to bully others.
This is how Wagang and his gang survive in the Tang Dynasty.
Although their power and status have been reduced after Li Shimin was imprisoned, as long as they stay in a group, even if Li Shentong and others want to bully them, they have to think carefully.
Qin Qiong spoke, and Qu Tutong followed suit.
Qu Tutong opened his mouth, and more people spoke.
After all, Qu Tutong was also the second-in-command under Li Shimin back then. Anyone who had interacted with Li Shimin or went on expeditions with Li Shimin had interacted with him, and some of them had a good relationship with him.
So as soon as he spoke, others naturally spoke too.
After Qu Tutong and others finished expressing their stance, Li Xiaogong also echoed.
He was not a fool. His uncle's confidants and his uncle began to catch Zheng and trample on her. If he didn't understand what his uncle meant, then his life would have been in vain.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his former subordinates Li Jing, Li Keshi, and other generals who had worked together south of the river could no longer remain indifferent.
Immediately they all followed suit.
For a time, almost all the martial artists in the Tai Chi Hall expressed their opinions.
Li Yuanji made a rough calculation and clearly stated that the total number of elementary schools to be opened in his hometown was more than 20, and the total number of elementary schools to be opened exceeded a hundred.
This is only a small number for the entire Tang Dynasty.
Because the elementary schools of a hundred schools spread to more than a dozen Taoist states and hundreds of states in the Tang Dynasty, they could barely reach one per state.
A state has several counties.
In other words, there is only one elementary school in several counties.
This was not enough to allow all the children from poor families in the Tang Dynasty to go to school.
However, this is just the beginning. With such a good start, it will be smooth to open more elementary schools in the future.
What's more important is that once this model spreads in the Tang Dynasty, the wealthy businessmen in various places will no longer remain indifferent.
With martial arts warriors giving them a start, and martial arts warriors supporting them, they no longer need to care about the monopoly of learning by wealthy families. They can open elementary schools and schools at home, within the clan, or even in the county or state.
Cultivate the children of the clan and the talented people they like.
Businessmen have a lot of resources at their disposal. Once they start to open elementary schools, they will surely make elementary schools bloom everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.
It is the kind that blooms everywhere in the true sense, maybe not one in a township, but definitely three or four in a county, or even more.
