Datang: My bedroom is the same as Changle's boudoir

The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was based on the establishment of the Jinshi Department of Emperor Sui Yang. At the beginning, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty tried his best to promote the Jinshi, and wanted to change the original situation of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system dominating the selection of scholars.

However, Yang Guang was obviously a little impatient. Countless civilians were killed or injured when the Grand Canal was dug, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo came back in failure.

In fact, these aristocratic families don't care at all, after all, they are just ordinary people.

But Yang Guang may want to catch up with his father Yang Jian's achievements in unifying the country. If the military is not good enough, he can only make up for his political achievements.

But he just wanted to move the system of electing officials that the family valued and accumulated. This was good intentions, and he wanted to come from a humble family, but as long as there was one more humble family, the resources of the family would inevitably be much less.

Seizing people's money is like killing their parents. The family must not bear it. The imperial examination has seriously damaged their family's interests in the court.So instead of being eaten by tigers, it is better to choose another emperor.

The next emperor was Li Shimin's father, Li Yuan. Originally, the aristocratic family thought that Li Yuan, as a child of the aristocratic family, must know the harm of the imperial examination to them, but he did not do what the aristocratic family wished.

After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty by Zen and established Chang'an as his capital, he continued to try his best to win over the middle and lower class scholars and civilian elites, and gave them full trust and reuse. Like Li Shiji, Qin Qiong, etc., they were mainly scholars at the bottom of society.

Li Yuan was all promoted, completely breaking the dominance of the family in the court.

This kind of behavior of the aristocratic family suppressing the poor family undoubtedly ruined the future of the poor family. This caused the rebound of the poor family scholars. So the family had to make a compromise.

In addition, the country has just been unified, and a thousand things are waiting for prosperity, and the people don't want to fight. It is not realistic for the family to want to establish a new emperor.

All these circumstances were favorable to the people, Li Yuan reopened the imperial examination, and everyone in the family could only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

It stands to reason that the influence of the aristocratic family should gradually decrease with the opening of the imperial examination.

But the problem came out. The basic education in the Tang Dynasty was not perfect. If the common people wanted to learn knowledge, they still had to rely on their families.Needless to say, the Tang Dynasty, let’s take the article "Send Dongyang Horse to Shengxu" written by Song Lian in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was regarded as papermaking, and when printing was relatively developed, there was still such a situation, let alone the Tang Dynasty. .

And the aristocratic family also invests in poor families to go to school here. Even if one out of ten can become a court official, the benefits to the aristocratic family are very great.

So this led to one thing. In addition to digging out talents from poor families, the original imperial examinations restricted the influence of the family in the court, but they did not expect to make wedding dresses for the family to expand its influence in vain.

Everyone in the family was overjoyed.

Originally, they thought that their century-old foundation, which was harmed by the traitor Li Yuan, would be destroyed in the hands of their generation.

But it turns out that their ideological realm is too low, Li Yuan is really a good man from the family, he is not a traitor.

Ever since, the family's influence has recovered again and has risen further than before.

"My son-in-law, what can I do for it?" Mo Wuhen is a good son-in-law when he has something to ask, and a brat when he has nothing to do. Now if he wants to ask Li Shimin about something, he must call Mo Wuhen a good son-in-law.

"Your Majesty, your worries are not difficult to solve." Mo Wuhen said solemnly.

"The lack of poor families is nothing more than books for learning."

Seeing Mo Wuhen who said such words so lightly, Li Shimin frowned, and asked: "Why, you said so lightly, those are books! Not to mention the cost of paper, whether ordinary people can afford it, just say It takes several days for a book to be copied." Li Shimin said angrily, but Mo Wuhen didn't reply, instead he looked at the table where Li Shimin usually flipped through the memorials.

"Your Majesty, the square king seal of the white jade beast button on your table, do you want to click on your name, click on your name?"

Mo Wuhen took a sip of his tea, and said unhurriedly.

"Do you still need to say that?"

Li Shimin didn't know why Mo Wuhen suddenly asked about that seal, but since he asked, there must be his reasons.

As the emperor, Li Shimin is not a fool. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to realize something and expressed his opinion.

"Do you mean to carve out the content of the article and then print it on paper?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty is really smart, that's what I mean!" Mo Wuhen said.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and Mo Wuhen solved his problem with one sentence, which is really satisfying!
"You said that the seal has been used for hundreds of years, why no one can come up with such a method."

"Your Majesty, you seem to have overlooked that before Cai Lun made paper, most people used bamboo slips and cloth."

It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to the issue of paper, Li Shimin was still looking like a dragon, but turned into a bitter face.

After all, paper is too expensive, even if it is printed, it still costs a lot of money.

"Wait, son-in-law, do you have a solution? Last time, the paper you gave me was so white and delicate." Li Shimin's eyes were full of anticipation, hoping to get a solution from Mo Wuhen's mouth measure.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you have learned to answer quickly. Yes, I do have a solution."

"Our Mohists have improved papermaking technology, making paper cheap and good."

"Your Majesty, if you believe me, then follow the papermaking technique I taught. If you keep it for a month or two, you can make [-] volumes of paper." Mo Wuhen said confidently.

"What did you say? You can produce [-] volumes of paper in a month or two? Son-in-law, you are not joking." Li Shimin's eyes widened.

"From ancient times to the present, among those who joked with the emperor, there were a few who still had heads on their heads. They were deceiving the emperor, my lord." Mo Wuhen said seriously.

"Okay, I will trust you once, my son-in-law, and I will leave this matter to you." Li Shimin said.

"Okay! The minister obeys the order."
Mo Wuhen agreed, and then shifted the question to how to build basic education.

"Shi You's "Ji Jiu Pian" and Zhou Xingsi's "Thousand Characters" can teach children to read, but the ideological connotation in them is still lacking. I compiled a three-character classic, which I think can be added to elementary school textbooks. .”

"Oh? Let's hear it." Li Shimin was very interested in what Mo Wuhen said.

"In this three-character scripture, it is for children to honor their ancestors and fathers, and their parents, so that they will not starve to death because of lack of food. Therefore, the three-character scripture is a classic to educate children to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. The nature is similar, but the habits are far away. If you don’t teach, your nature will change. The way of teaching is to be specialized.”

"In the Three-Character Classic, there are the two characters of benevolence and morality in the Four Books and Five Classics of the Four Books and Five Classics. Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and morality. Only then can the common people in the world have the opportunity to read and write, and benevolence governing the world is benevolence governing the world.”

Listening to Mo Wuhen's eloquent talk, Li Shimin couldn't help clapping his hands in praise, and jokingly said: "Sometimes I really want to open your head to see how your brain grows."

Mo Wuhen laughed and said: "Your Majesty, if you open my head, you will find that my head is not only filled with knowledge, but also with endless wisdom."
"Okay, okay! Don't show off, I don't know you yet?" Li Shimin said impatiently.

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch." Seeing what Mo Wuhen said, he was praising Li Shimin on the surface, but in fact he was saying that he was amazing.

After the two joked about it, Mo Wuhen talked about the opening of the school and the program of the curriculum. After talking about it, there were only two people in the imperial study room, and it was full of ministers and ministers, all of whom were listening to Mo Wuhen. planning for education.
