I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Zhou Xiaosan is not stupid, he knows what this kind of behavior means, which is to reduce the family's power as much as possible.

嗏

Still can't resist, because this kind of behavior is still within the rules.

Yin Xuan looked at Zhou Xiaosan's struggling face, and then continued: "Then at this time, I started to use the name to catch and demote people from some aristocratic families, but I didn't move people from your family, but from other people's families. Will you resist?"

Zhou Xiaosan was like a log this time, no longer making any movements.

Yin Xuan smiled and spread his hands: "Look, this is the sausage tactic. I will directly weaken the family you represent, and you must resist."

"But I have achieved my goal step by step, but you didn't resist, did you?"

Zhou Xiaosan shook his head: "Then His Majesty just follow your way of thinking, why do you want to start with the imperial examination?"

Yin Xuan couldn't help laughing: "I'm just giving an example, just talking on paper."

"The method I proposed is certainly good, but the problem is how to increase the number of troops near those cities, and how to judge the people of the family according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty..."

"If your majesty can do this, how can you still treat the aristocratic family as a serious problem?"

Zhou Xiaosan nodded thoughtfully.

He began to get in touch with the essence of the court - even for an emperor like Li Shimin, his words were not without resistance.

Yin Xuan waved his hand again, and beckoned Zhou Xiaosan to sit down in the yard: "Actually, I thought about it just now, and he doesn't necessarily want Chunwei in the next year to promote obfuscation."

Zhou Xiaosan was taken aback again.

Don't necessarily think so?

"His purpose is to weaken the aristocratic family, as long as this goal can be achieved." Yin Xuan raised his hand and touched his chin, "Then it depends on what the aristocratic family is willing to release this time to replace their interests in the imperial examination. .”

"If you really write down your knowledge of the imperial examination, you'd be too stupid."

Speaking of this, Yin Xuan paused again, squinting his eyes: "Come on, let me teach you a few methods, and when the time comes, you can write it on the memorial and present it to Li Shimin."

Zhou Xiaosan shrank his neck: "Won't this reveal the identity of Da Lang and me?"

Yin Xuan shook his head, and said a long paragraph like a tongue twister: "Why? He thought I didn't know his identity and the relationship between you and him, and thought I still regarded you as the former Zhou Xiaosan."

"Under this premise, if you come to me for advice, isn't it the best use of everything?"

Yin Xuan spoke with confidence.

But even if it was just a fiction and a hypothesis, Zhou Xiaosan still felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

The reason why a family is a family is a family.

The most critical reason lies in two points of monopoly, one of which is their monopoly of land - which can also be explained as their monopoly of the most important social resources.

The second monopoly is their monopoly on knowledge.

The simple expression is that the price of the book is too expensive. A poor family may have to go without food or drink for a year to buy a book.

Just buying the Four Books and Five Classics will cost almost half of my life savings, but just reading these books, how can I stand out from the crowd?

Which one of the characters who passed the imperial examination was not well-read in poetry and books.

The method Yin Xuan gave to Zhou Xiaosan was to increase the tax on the aristocratic family and use this part of the money to build compulsory education.

Meng Tong only needs to pay a small part of the money to buy books and study, and the rest comes from the taxes of the aristocratic families.

The second way is to ask Zhou Xiaosan to state in the memorial that he persuaded Yin Xuan to help him study the technology of papermaking.

Lowering the price of books is also indirectly weakening the monopoly position of the aristocratic family.

Zhou Xiaosan wrote down all these things, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "If there is no shopkeeper, I'm afraid I can only hand in some incredible things this time."

Yin Xuan waved his hand and said nothing.

Zhao Yue had already urged him twice, he had to go over to cook, from the backyard to the kitchen, and start the fire.Sometimes Yin Xuan felt that Li Shimin really had to award him a medal like "Glorious Labor".

Model workers like him are really rare in Chang'an City.

Wait until the guests' food is processed.

Yin Xuan walked to the front hall and saw several little girls reviewing their subjects, and a group of scholars surrounded them pitifully, memorizing what they read aloud.

Today, they have reviewed quadratic equations in one variable.Hmm... It's been two days of reviewing, without Yin Xuan's personal teaching, these things are still a bit difficult for them.

Wait for the little girls to finish their studies.

The scholars whispered and discussed.

Yin Xuan waved and took a few girls to the backyard.

When a scholar saw this scene, his heart stuck in his throat: "He...the store...brought those little ladies to the backyard."

The person next to him glanced at him: "Don't you fall in love with those little ladies?"

"They are all well-known and well-known." As he said, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yuan, "He is the grandfather of those young ladies, and he recognizes the store owner as his grandson-in-law before they are married. Want to compete with the shopkeeper?"

The man shook his head, a little depressed: "That's not true."

"Those little ladies are a good match for the store owner, and how can I compete with the store owner."

"It's just...in the past, those little ladies who were taught by the store never kept it from us, and now they don't teach knowledge in front of us."

He felt wronged.

The people next to me couldn't help laughing.

Someone explained: "The store's eating skills are not rumored. You are like fireworks and gunpowder, and we have never heard of it."

"It is estimated that this time the store will teach a few young ladies such skills."

The scholars put down the booklets in their hands and began to discuss.

"What do you think the store will bring out this time?" Someone asked.

Most people shook their heads, the items that the store brought out a few times before were not regular at all, how could they guess it.

The diners who were eating at the side opened their mouths slowly and exhaled: "Which time did the store bring out something that can make our lives better in accordance with the season?"

"I think this time the shop might be able to produce kites that don't use strings."

As soon as he started like this, the scholars began to chatter and discuss.

in the backyard.

The little girls were a little nervous and looked at Yin Xuan eagerly. They were no strangers to the backyard, but... they were called to a relatively private place under the watchful eyes of so many people...

"Did you rest well during this time?" Yin Xuan asked with a smile.

Li Lizhi snorted: "Where is the rest!"

"The group of people outside didn't have a good foundation, and I can't teach them directly, but I'm tired!"
