Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 227 Can't sit still and wait for death

Ever since Sun Simiao knew from Li Fu that Achnatherum splendens and vaccinia could cure smallpox, he was completely convinced.

He has nothing to say to Li Fu now, and he understands that Li Fu is the legendary genius, and genius is something that can be met but not sought, so he can't judge everything about the other party with ordinary people's thinking.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were puzzled that Sun Simiao admired Li Fu so much.

Because in their impression, their senior brother can be said to be jealous, and everyone dares to hate him. They have never seen him respect someone so much, especially a young man who is several rounds younger than them.

And when Sun Simiao was explaining to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng about the contribution the crown prince Li Fu had made to the Tang Dynasty over the years, there were suddenly dense footsteps outside the door of Sun Simiao's pharmacy.

"It seems that the emperor got the news and sent someone to invite you." Sun Simiao saw the figure of Baiqisi outside the window, and smiled and winked at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other and smiled. Since they chose to come back and show their faces in front of people, they were ready to meet Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please!" Li Junxian led the people into the pharmacy, and bowed to Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang respectfully.

"Then I'll ask you to lead the way." Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were very cooperative, which made Li Junxian very uncomfortable.

Originally, Li Junxian thought that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng would be unwilling to cooperate, so this time he brought all the elites of Baiqi.

In the end, I didn't expect that they cooperated so well, which made Li Junxian feel a sense of loss, but Li Junxian was also very happy if he didn't do anything, and immediately brought the two of them into the palace to meet him.

Li Shimin was very excited to see Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang in the Imperial Study Room. After talking about the old days, Li Shimin tentatively proposed that the two be appointed as officials of Qin Tianjian.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng didn't want to agree at first, but because of the anecdotes about the prince that Sun Simiao had mentioned before, they suddenly changed their minds and accepted Li Shimin's rewards directly.

In Chang'an City, the demand for the Zhenguan dictionary has gone crazy to the extreme, and everyone is very busy.

Because now not only Chang'an, but also Guanzhong, Longyou, Hedong, Lingnan, and even all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have already received orders.

Shen Wansan and the others were already too busy to touch the ground, but at this time, Li Jing transported all the cotton brought back from Tuyuhun to the garment workshops in the East Palace.

The eldest grandson Pingting is now sent out by Li Fu to make cotton clothes, but Li Fu is the only idler. He hides in the East Palace every day to eat and drink and have fun...

In Liangzhou, as the food shortage problem has been solved, spring plowing has been carried out smoothly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment again, but the Li family in Longxi is in a gloomy state.

Because of this strategy, they almost lost all their money, but this is not the most important thing.

In the Li family's mansion in Longxi, the head of the family, Li Xin, had an angry face at the moment, facing the Zhenguan Dictionary in front of him, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow the entire Zhenguan Dictionary alive.

Li Zhe said from the side: "Father, the Zhenguan dictionary has been sold to all states and counties in the world, and the sales are very hot."

"We in Longxi only got a quota of [-] volumes, but they were sold out as soon as we arrived in Liangzhou Prefecture."

Li Xiang also sighed from the side: "Now this Zhenguan dictionary has been sold at sky-high prices everywhere, even more expensive than gold, so much so that I want to sell it, but unfortunately there is no way out!"

Li Xin cast a cold glance at his two sons. Seeing this, Li Zhe and Li Xiang suddenly shrank their necks, not daring to say more.

"The Zhenguan Dictionary is indeed a good thing. Even Kong Yingda and Li Gang wrote it themselves. It is normal for it to be so popular, but..."

When he said this, Li Xin changed the subject, "Don't you just see that the Zhenguan Dictionary is selling like hotcakes? Don't you see that this Zhenguan Dictionary is destroying the foundation of my family?"

"If the Zhenguan Dictionary is allowed to spread in the world, I'm afraid that my family will gradually decline in less than ten years, just like ordinary merchants!"

"Ah?" Li Xiang looked surprised, "Dad, you are being exaggerated! It's just a book, just for literacy. I've used it too, and it's really good."

"But with just such a book, you say it can destroy the foundation of my family, isn't it?"

Li Zhe seemed to have come to his senses at this time, and angrily scolded Li Xiang, "Second brother, shut up, you are so confused, you dare not listen to what dad says!"

"Don't you see that even you can read with a dictionary? What will be the consequences once a poor student has this Zhenguan dictionary?"

"At the beginning, the previous dynasty set up an imperial examination, which made the children of my family and the children of the humble family serve as officials in the same dynasty. It has already hurt the vitality of my family. Now that it has not recovered, the person in the capital actually made such a move."

"The poor family in the previous dynasty was unable to obtain a good education because of poverty, so they could not shake the foundation of my family."

"But now that we have this dictionary, in the future, students from poor families will be able to study on their own as long as they have a dictionary. The education they receive will be more convenient than our family's. This is really shaking the foundation of our family!"

"Boss is on point." Li Xin sighed with pain on his face: "In time, if there are more new tricks in the imperial examination today, then there will be a large number of poor families in the central and local governments." student."

"I heard that the government has recently begun to rectify the officialdom. Once His Majesty kills me, our family will completely lose the right to speak in the court. At that time, it will be the end of my family."

After some explanations from his father and elder brother, Li Xiang finally woke up like a dream, with a look of fear on his face.

It is true that the reason why the aristocratic family has been able to stand still is largely because the aristocratic family controls the education of the world's students and the path to career advancement.

As long as they strangle the promotion path of the students from the poor family, the poor family will always be the poor family, and there will never be a bright future.

But now, with the changes in history and the frequent occurrence of strange moves in the court, the decisive battle between the poor family and the aristocratic family is about to start ahead of schedule!

At this time, Li Xiang thought of another terrible thing, and blurted out: "Then the Zhenguan Dictionary was compiled by His Majesty with His Majesty's approval. Could it be that the imperial court is ready to attack our family?"

Li Xin showed a cold look on his face, "In the incident in the early years of Zhenguan, our family remained neutral, and the act of not helping each other may have angered the present, but he didn't have the opportunity now, so he didn't dare to do anything to us."

"Now that the opportunity has been given to him, how could he give up this opportunity and not wait for me?"

"Then what should we do?" Li Xiang was at a loss, "Father, what should we do, we can't just wait for death!"
