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

The official nodded hesitantly: "It seems necessary."

He was sent by the Cui family, his identity is true, what he said earlier is also true, even the last sentence is half true.

For some age groups, the imperial court will indeed force them to enroll in school.

But a little bit of verbal description, avoiding the important and lightening it, made the facts and the things spit out from the mouth have two completely different appearances.

The old man widened his eyes, waved his hand, and said with all his strength, "How can this be possible!"

After hearing the news, he didn't feel happy at all, but felt a heavy pressure.

Reading...is a good thing, but it's not a good thing if every child in every household reads.

The old man's many years of experience made him understand that studying is a very expensive thing. For example, their farmers could not afford to support a scholar in previous years.

That is to say, cotton has been planted this year, and the harvest is high, but even if it can afford it, almost half of the family's annual income has to be folded into it.

Some families have more than one child.

I can't afford to make a fool of myself!

And that's all for children at the age of four or five. After the age of eight, children are the labor force of the family and cannot do heavy work. They can still do hogweed and weed weeding.

Can share a lot of things for parents.

If he went to study, wouldn't the burden on his parents be much more?

The official threw his head back: "Why is the old man so angry? Isn't it a good thing to let the children study?"

The old man waved his hand and shook his head: "Nonsense, why did His Majesty make such a decision? This will make us farmers live!"

"These children are going to study one by one, what can the family do, they can't make it through!"

The peasant women watching from the side also shouted.

Children are an indispensable labor force in the family. Even if there are few children, they still want to be more leisurely.

The official's head was as big as a bucket. He tried his best to appease these people, but it didn't have much effect.

In court the next day.

With a dark face, Li Shimin urgently reported last night.

The geology survey of the school was greatly hindered. Nearly half of the villages did not agree to establish a school, and even four villages made a move. Six officials were injured, and one official broke his arm. .

Fortunately, no one was killed, and the matter did not completely get out of control.

"I want to know why this matter is done like this." Li Shimin's face was dark, and he threw those memorials to the ground, splashing all over the ground.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were submissive, and no one dared to speak up.

Li Shimin looked at them coldly.

After a long time, an official from the Ministry of Rituals stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be shelved for the time being, so as to dispel public anger first."

This is a well-behaved proposal, and it is also the method that a well-behaved official would propose.

Li Shimin shook his head and did not speak.

The old gods of the aristocratic family stood on the ground, they did not add the fire, their battlefield this time is not the court, today Li Shimin disagrees, and tomorrow they will make a big wave, so Li Shimin has to agree.

Chaotang did not discuss a result that would satisfy Li Shimin.

All parties shirked and did not want to take this responsibility.

The court meeting broke up unhappy.

Li Shimin asked Zhou Xiaosan to stay, told him a few words, and asked him to ask Yin Xuan if there was any way.

Zhou Xiaosan hurried over.

In Tongfu restaurant.

Zhou Xiaosan recounted what happened in each village and township yesterday, and then lowered his voice: "Your Majesty asked me to ask Dalang if he has any ideas."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows: "You mean... nearly half of the villages have such a thing?"

Zhou Xiaosan nodded, then was taken aback for a moment: "Does the store feel something is wrong?"

"Bai taught you?" Yin Xuan rolled his eyes and waved his hand, "Is every village surveyed at the same time?"

Zhou Xiaosan shook his head.

The imperial court does not have that much manpower, so it is naturally impossible to conduct investigations at the same time. Some villages have been investigated for a few days, some were investigated only yesterday, and even a few villages have not yet started investigations...

"Do you think someone is plotting behind the scenes?" Zhou Xiaosan's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands. If someone was plotting behind this matter, and he caught it, it must be a great credit.

"Da Lang, who do you think?" Zhou Xiaosan pursed her lips and asked excitedly.

Yin Xuan patted him on the head: "Check it yourself."

Zhou Xiaosan nodded.

Yin Xuan continued: "As for how to solve this matter...it's very simple, you go and get some cotton, and then go get some plates."

"In my name, just show them."

As he said that, Yin Xuan paused and smiled slightly: "My old man asked you to come to me, and that's why he wanted to give you credit."

"Do well, don't disappoint his expectations of you."

Zhou Xiaosan chuckled and nodded heavily.

The next day, in Lingwu Township.

The folks in the village are holding sticks, hoes and other things, waiting at the intersection of the village road, waiting for the officials of the court to come over.

Although I don't know if yesterday's officials will come, but their village is guarded by them.

Waited for a long time.

Those who should go to take care of the fields have gone to take care of the fields, and there are only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled waiting at the entrance of the village.A man came riding a horse, dressed in black, the person who came was not kind.

The horse stopped.

Before the delinquent in black got off his horse, the old man greeted him: "You are not welcome here, our village will never build any public school!"

The people behind shouted, and the shouting almost broke the sky.

The black-clothed bad boy waved his hand, took out a brocade box from the horse's bag, raised it high, and held it in his hand.

The villagers at the other end were a little at a loss, staring blankly at the brocade box.

Suddenly, a person's face darkened, and he took several steps back in horror: "No! Could it be Tianlei?!"

The so-called sky thunder is what they call gunpowder.

The face of the bad guy in black turned black, looking at the terrified crowd, where did they all think, how could the court use this kind of thing on the people under its rule.

"This is Duke Zhengyang's token."

Lord Zhengyang?
The crowd stopped and retreated.

The bad guy in black opened the brocade box, revealing the contents inside - a small piece of cotton that has been plucked, and a smooth and waxed pottery dish.

Cotton and plates, nothing can represent Yin Xuan better than these two things.

The crowd hurriedly bowed and bowed to these two things.

The bad guy in black heaved a sigh of relief, and waved his hand: "Mr. Zhengyang asked me to bring you a sentence."

The crowd froze.

Mr. Zhengyang wants to give them a word?
