"In the Han Dynasty, Cai Lun improved papermaking technology, which reduced the cost of paper.
But even so, the people who really benefited this matter were only royal children like me, or other wealthy families.
It has been difficult for ordinary people to be exposed to books over the years."
Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou sighed. This is the world, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to study.
Even though he is from a poor family, he can afford to study. No matter how poor he is, how poor he can be!
It’s like no matter how the aristocratic class fell, it was still one level higher than Tianshelang.
Li Tai said, “So I want to build a library here with thousands of books in it.
As long as our students are willing to go and see it, they can keep watching it.
Then, a student ID is made for each student. Original books are not allowed to be borrowed, but with the student ID and credits, paper and ink can be provided for them to copy.
Yes! Credits!"
Li Tai narrowed his eyes. It was naturally inconvenient to get money on a large scale, but it should be OK to get some credits in school, and he could also conduct simple experiments on trying banknotes in the future.
"What? I thought of something again!" Ma Zhou asked with a little curiosity as he looked at Li Tai.
Li Tai said: "Although the school includes food and accommodation, value-added services are impossible to provide these students with free access to avoid them becoming nerds.
So I want to use credits to develop their respect for knowledge.
For example, the private stir-fry in the canteen, and the library provides pen and ink for copying.
Even if the credits are enough, you can ask them to teach them privately."
"It sounds like Kaiyuan Tongbao, only used in schools? Can you trade with each other?" Ma Zhou asked.
"No!" Li Tai shook his head, "because we need to let them establish the awareness that knowledge is precious.
But if you can trade, as time goes by, as long as you are tempted, you will likely trade the credits and will definitely focus on a few people.
But the resources exchanged with credits are circulated by students themselves, so we don’t care.
After all, if you leave the school gate, you have to deal with the most cunning and simple people, and someone will definitely take advantage of them.
Now in school, we must let them know that this credit is not easy to get!"
"Just make rules, as long as you don't cross the line, don't worry? There is a bit of Taoist thought." Ma Zhou thought something.
Li Tai said this and he was a bit dancing:
“And we provide credits as well as we can provide credits, such as spring and autumn cultivation.
For example, each quarterly grade exam will also provide credits, and even some teaching tasks, which can also provide credits.
What the credits represent is the proof of their sweat and hard work they have gained in the Agricultural Institution.
Therefore, the credit records are divided into two types, one is the current credit and the other is the highest credit.
How to get credits better proves the achievements they have achieved in this institution.
How to use credits proves his excellent use of resources."
"I understand a little!" Ma Zhou nodded, "This is a good system for running in the school."
"Since you have figured out this matter, then you will leave it to you!" Li Tai patted Ma Zhou's thigh, and said very optimistic about Ma Zhou, "I believe you can do this matter well."
"Yes, yes!" Ma Zhou nodded with a bitter smile when he heard Li Tai's words.
However, Ma Zhou quickly frowned and said, "However, the topic returns to the library. It's easy to say that you want to build such a building, but the most important thing about this building is not just the building itself but requires books, but also a large number of books.
.”
"Then I can only go and ask Aye for it!" Li Tai said with a little sigh.
"It's a bit unethical to copy it from the royal collection!" Ma Zhou was a little difficult.
"It's nothing difficult or not. Shameless can always get some!" Li Tai looked willing to go out,
"In this way, you have to do movable type printing first, otherwise you can't print books in the palace by carving the plate!"
Li Tai gritted his teeth and had to make this matter done by himself no matter what.
Li Tai knew very well that it was really difficult for ordinary people to compete with soldiers.
All you can do is just give them a fair competition as much as possible.
But no one knows whether they can really compete.
"Let you ask Chu Ke's ink science to study it, first make a single-word inverted text mold, wait until it is necessary to select the single-word according to the manuscript, arrange it in the plaque, apply ink and print it, and then disassemble the plaque after printing.
, leave it to use again next time you type it."
Li Tai said, "According to this idea, let the people of Moji study and see if they can print movable type."
Ma Zhou nodded and said, "It sounds interesting, I'll try to tell him!
But recently he put all his thoughts on the trolley, don’t expect this kind of thing to be quickly made!”
"We don't even have a shadow on the library now, and we won't be in a hurry even if the library is built!" Li Tai said.
"I'll let it go!" Ma Zhou nodded and said, "What else do you have?"
"Let's go back to Chang'an, the sooner this matter is implemented, the better!" Li Tai waved to Ma Zhou and said simply.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou didn't say much, and soon Li Tai went to the East Palace in Chang'an.
And Ma Zhou went to find Du Chuke, and to put it simply, Li Tai made him live again!
Li Tai didn't go directly to find Li Shimin. After all, even if he was his father, he couldn't meet him just by wanting to.
And strictly speaking, this matter is taking advantage of the court's advantage, and it's fine if it's done in private, but if it's really put to the court to discuss it, Li Tai feels that even if those Confucian ministers agree, they will be in a mess. At that time,
But it's also troublesome.
So Li Tai came to meet Empress Changsun as soon as possible. Li Tai felt that it was more convenient to get help from her in this matter.
"Today is neither the first day of the lunar month nor the fifteenth day. How could you have time to come back to the palace to see me!"
Empress Changsun heard Li Tai and looked at Li Tai with a smile and said,
"But you came at the right time. Come and try this newly made dragon beard crisp."
As he said that, he brought a pot of golden dragon beard crisps to Li Tai. Li Tai was not polite, so he picked up a piece with jade chopsticks and put it in his mouth, saying,
"This dragon beard crispy and delicious taste, and it is indeed the best one here!"
"You're just sweet-mouthed!" Queen Changsun pointed Li Tai's head and said, "What's the matter with me today?"
"Mom, Qingque has such a little thought, you can see through it now. How can Qingque say it out loud!" Li Tai said.
"If you really can't say it, you won't have gone to fight the locust plague in the past. Now you are going to build an agricultural school!"
Empress Changsun said this and said,
"You, I've seen it since I was a child. If you really want to do something, you will throw half of your face to the other side!"
When Li Tai heard Empress Changsun’s words, he couldn’t help but think, is he looking down on himself? He must not have a whole face!
"In this way, you will have both a slut and shameless face at the same time!" Queen Changsun said earnestly, pointing out Li Tai's face.
"Mom~" this sound is quite tactful and moving, and anyone will be afraid that he will tremble when he hears it.
"Okay, okay! I won't make fun of you, it's not easy for you to open an agricultural institution." Empress Changsun sighed, "What the hell is it?"
Li Tai said seriously: "I want to build a library, just like Chongwen Museum, I want to collect thousands of books.
But the difference is that as long as you are a student from an agricultural institution, you can enter it for reading and even copying.”
"This matter is a bit difficult to deal with..."
Empress Changsun thought for a while when she heard Li Tai's words and said:
"You want to choose to copy the classics in Chongwenguan, right? But I don't agree with this!"
"Why?" Li Tai was a little confused when he heard Empress Changsun's words.
Queen Changsun said, "Since you have opened a mansion and have made contributions to the destruction of locusts, I will no longer treat you as a child.
You know, since your father ascended the throne, the country has never been safe, and war, drought, locust plagues have come one after another.
The most important thing during this period is to support the civil and military officials of the court to overcome difficulties, rather than do things that stimulate them, so that the originally harmonious court can experience unnecessary turmoil.
So, you hope I agree to copying the books in Chongwenguan, but I don’t agree!
Even if you go directly to you, Aye, I will stop this.
It’s not that it’s not a good thing, it’s not the time!”
"That's how..." Li Tai was not good at getting off the army, but he didn't expect that he would have been so difficult to persuade Queen Changsun.
To be honest, there is a difference between what Li Tai believes in Li Shimin and the real Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Shimin did not kick the Turks or beat the Goryeo Li Shimin.
The first few years of the Zhenguan Dynasty were almost the most depressing time when Li Shimin became emperor.
In the sky, God was bombing the land of the Tang Dynasty in turn.
If that's all, it would be fine. Outside, the Turks were still eyeing the Tang Dynasty. Looking through history books, the best results of the Tang Dynasty against the Turks would have basically never won unless Li Shimin personally fought.
If Li Shimin did not launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident, or even the Xuanwu Gate Incident failed, under the leadership of Li Chengqian and Li Yuan, the shame of Jingkang might have been staged in advance.
Inside, Li Yuan was unwilling to be taken away by Li Shimin as the emperor. He did not say that he was ambitious to restore the throne, but when he really let him go, he still had to wait until Jie Li Khan came to Chang'an to dance.
So if there was a rift between Li Shimin and his ministers, Li Yuan would definitely find a way to regain the throne.
You should know that Li Yuan is now living in Tai Chi Palace, and Li Shimin is temporarily living in the East Palace, which shows that Li Shimin wants to unite all the forces that can be united and work hard to survive this difficult period first.
Li Tai couldn't see this, but Empress Changsun could see it clearly.
If Li Shimin was asked to copy the Chongwenguan book to Li Tai's Agricultural College now, it would be impossible, but for many officials from aristocratic families, they would be somewhat murmur in their hearts.
After all, Li Tai's institution recruits even poor families, many of them are mud-legged.
After the development of the Han Dynasty, the ultimate development of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the devastating blow of the Five Barbarians invading China, it then showed a tendency to return to the future after the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
At this moment, as long as the aristocratic family survives, they will hold on to the family in their hands and never let go of them.
Because compared to land, family education is the only bargaining chip that ensures that they can still soar into the sky even if they fall into dust.
The most typical one is the Wang family. Since Wang Yun, has the Wang family activated the legendary magical power of offering sacrifices and tremendous luck in the entire clan?
Wang Ling, Wang Huilong, Wang Feng... Although this family is wiped out by people, from all clans or several veins, as long as one person survives, this person will soar into the sky with the Wang Family School.
The top in the world.
Then kill the enemy with his own hands, build a new Wang family again, and wait for the next strong man who can't help but attack the Wang family.
In short, the Wang family is generally a first-class family, and it may be one or two points behind the other five families.
Other aristocratic families generally don’t take the Wang family to play, but if something happens to the Wang family, other families will definitely help.
Because during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Wang family was so famous that it was not only the saying "The king and the horse share the world",
More importantly, as long as the Wang family is destroyed and there is a heaven of escape, this person will transform into Long Aotian of this era.
In this unreasonable world, we will rampant in the world in an unreasonable way.
No matter how enemies are, anyone can destroy the entire clan of the other party. It is the powerful minister who dies the whole family, and it is the king who destroys the country.
After experiencing a lot, the five surnames and Qi Wang felt that this family was too evil, and it would not seem like it would be a big loss to take the opportunity to invest.
Therefore, the other five surnames and Qi Wang are all staying on their own acre of three parts of the land to carry out family inheritance, but the Wang family seems to be able to appear everywhere in the entire Central Plains.
It is because the Wang family has been destroyed, escaped more, and the fire has been sown.
But this also proves that the Wang family is precious. With the example of the Wang family, which aristocratic family does not cherish the knowledge they learn from their hands.
How could this be indifferent to the willful spread of knowledge in the court? After experiencing the Five Barbarians and Invasions in China, Southern and Northern Dynasties, who still thinks that their family will be able to pass on for thousands of years? Only learning knowledge in their own hands is the most reliable foundation for their existence.
Therefore, the imperial examinations are just a rugged path for poor scholars. Relying on their family background, aristocratic families can still look down on all living beings.
But if the imperial court even has these collections of classics to show the people unconditionally, it is not going to show off with the children of aristocratic families!
How could this be tolerated by the people of the aristocratic family? At least for Li Shimin now, it was definitely a matter of shaking the foundation.
Although the entire Tang Dynasty gradually developed the imperial examination system and even formed a Niu and Li party struggle, that was a matter in the middle and late stages.
Now in this Zhenguan period, this is the only few rebirths of the aristocratic families. The entire Zhenguan famous ministers basically come from the aristocratic families!
