No matter what, she is just a maid, and his daughter is the jewel in the Fang family.
There is no comparison at all. Fang Pu has this confidence.
Long Lin picked up the hot tea and motioned for Fang Pu to use it.
After taking a sip of tea, Long Lin opened his mouth.
"Master Fang, let me ask you a question. How many people do you think are illiterate in this capital? And how many people don't know how to write at all?"
Master Fang was stunned for a moment, and a wry smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, I make a preliminary estimate that more than half of the people in the capital are not very literate, and even fewer can write a lot."
Long Lin nodded, basically the same as what he thought.
The real situation is even more serious. Knowledge has long been accessible to a small number of people.
Most poor people simply don't have that ability.
"Master Fang, if you go to a state, a county, a county, or a town, how many people will have the opportunity to study?"
This time, Master Fang's wry smile became even more intense.
"Your Highness, it can only become fewer and fewer, and it will decrease step by step. When it comes to the town, I'm afraid there will only be a handful of people."
Long Lin nodded, this was the root of the problem.
If the knowledge of a Chinese nation is only in the hands of a few people, it will be very difficult for such a nation to rise.
Long Lin didn't understand others, but he knew what probability was.
To describe it simply, it's like throwing a dice. If you throw one, the probability of it appearing is very small.
If you throw out 10,000 pellets at once, the probability of one appearing will be countless times greater.
It's like, no matter how strong a person is, he is just one person. If he is allowed to fight hundreds of thousands of people by himself, he will be exhausted to death.
Long Lin had no other ideas. He just wanted to make this probability greater, so that the hope of this nation's rise would also become greater.
"Master Fang, why did you say the Ministry of Rites established a school?"
"Your Highness, of course it is to enable people all over the world to study, so that the imperial court can select more talents."
The lecture was really good. Long Lin felt it was great after listening to it, but how did the school he created become like that?
As soon as Fang Pu finished speaking, he was immediately stunned.
Combined with what he said himself and what he had done in the past few days, he could certainly understand that this was His Highness Long Lin's intention.
But here's the problem with this matter, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that most people in the dynasty don't want to do it.
The Ministry of Rites has always been under the control of the above, and there is simply no way. The current officials will not even think in that direction.
"Your Highness, I understand what you mean. Although it is such a principle, it is simply impossible to realize it."
As soon as these words came out, Long Lin was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Looking carefully at Fang Pu's expression, Long Lin discovered that there was too much helplessness in Fang Pu's expression.
"Master Fang, why is this? Isn't the purpose of establishing a school just to allow more people to learn? Why can't it be realized?"
Master Fang smiled very bitterly.
"Your Highness, you have just left the palace and have not come into contact with many ministers. Once you have this idea, you will definitely be opposed by everyone."
"Your Highness, I am not being alarmist. This is a very serious issue. The cabinet, including all the bachelors, will not agree."
Long Lin was completely dumbfounded after hearing this. What is going on?
"Master Fang, there must be a reason for this, right? My father attaches great importance to culture, politics and martial arts, how could he not strongly support it? As long as more people have knowledge, the entire Chinese nation will be able to rise."
Mr. Fang shook his head decisively, his eyes firm.
"Your Highness, all knowledgeable people understand this principle, but they cannot realize it, and it cannot be realized at all."
"In order to gain knowledge, people all seek to participate in the imperial examinations and enter official careers, but the officials in this world are only a very small part of the population."
"Most people, after studying, may not even be able to pass a county examination, let alone pass the imperial examination."
"And these people will eventually return to farming. An unlearned person will work hard to survive in order to survive, but if this person has knowledge and has not yet been admitted to the official career, he may not necessarily be willing to farm.
"
"This is a big problem and a very serious problem."
Fang Pu spoke very solemnly, and his expression became surprisingly solemn.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Long Lin became very familiar with Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang, who was always obedient, would always carry out his orders resolutely.
This is the first time that I have directly refuted his words like this.
Long Lin could understand and understand what Mr. Fang said, but his concerns were completely meaningless in Long Lin's opinion.
Because he knew in his heart that such a thing could be achieved, he had seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally.
Although he was incompetent, in his previous life, the entire world was indeed full of talents, and there were many people with astonishing talents and knowledge.
Long Lin shook his head, the thoughts in his heart were very firm.
"Master Fang, the situation you mentioned may indeed happen, but you cannot ruin the fate of most people just because of worries."
"Among the masses, you simply can't imagine how many amazingly talented and beautiful people there are."
"Do you think that those high-ranking officials and nobles, only their children will become talented in the future? Only those people are qualified to be officials? Ordinary and ignorant people, their children are still stupid?"
After Master Fang heard this, he immediately had the answer in his mind.
"Your Highness, I dare not lie, but I dare to believe that the children born to smart and talented people are better than those who are ignorant."
"For example, the Lei family is well known throughout the dynasty, and the Shangguan family has been in the army for generations. Their descendants are far from being comparable to ordinary people."
When Long Lin heard the reference proposed by Fang Pu, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Master Fang, that's not entirely true. Look at Master Situ, his three children are far behind Master Fang. If they hadn't been born in Master Situ's family, they would have been just ordinary people.
people."
As soon as Long Lin said these words, Fang Pu suddenly choked.
Naturally, he knew the situation of the Situ family very well. They were close neighbors and he had always been in contact with them.
He knew those three people very clearly.
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on those three people at all, and he was also wondering in his heart, how could the smart and capable Lord Situ raise three sons like that?
He is also a son. This has been his pride since he was a child, and it is also the pride of his father. The source of this pride is the comparison with those three people.
