Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

After the news spread, it further dispelled people's doubts and dropped a depth charge among the people in Chang'an City.

It turns out that the recruitment in Furong Garden is all true!

Even that Wang Wu was lucky because he was the first one to go to the interview, and was directly hired by Prince Li Qiu.

This is really a fool has a fool, hit the big luck!

If I knew it was like this, I would be the first to go and try it!

So, with the rapid spread of this matter, early the next morning, people went to line up at the gate of Furong Garden, and more people were waiting for interviews.

After yesterday's experience, today Li Qiu added an initial test threshold to the people who came to interview.

Hand it over to Gao Kan.

For those who really have nothing to do with others, just pass them directly, so as not to waste time.

The person in charge of the interview next to Li Qiu has changed from Wei Ting to Ma Zhou.

This is because after the interview yesterday, Wei Ting almost vomited blood depressed.

Tell Li Qiu that I must never come again tomorrow, otherwise I will continue to follow you around like this, and I will be impeached by those censors.

Besides, you can't get the wool from your own sheep, can you?

You should ask someone else to top it!

So, Li Qiu went to ask some other people.

Even the children of the younger generation, such as Sun Chong, Qin Li, Du Gou, and Cheng Huailiang, asked about it.

In fact, when these two young masters heard that Li Qiu wanted to let him be an examiner, they were quite curious and yearning in their hearts.

But before they agreed, their father came out with a sword, and wanted to make gestures with Li Qiu.

Then Li Qiu fled away.

In desperation, this important task fell on Ma Zhou.

As for Ma Zhou, Li Qiu only knew his name.

That's it.

As for his real talents and learning, Li Qiu is not clear.

However, the person who can be selected as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future will not be too bad.

As for Ma Zhou, the interview was successful just yesterday, and he also got the first pot of gold in his life, [-] copper coins.

When he returned to the inn at night, it was like a dream.

But what he never expected was that today he came to the Furong Garden with anxiety, and was told to sit beside the prince.

Go to interview other people with the prince.

That's the Great General of Shenwu, Prince Li Qiu!

In the hearts of countless people, gods exist!

For Ma Zhou, this was a great honor.

In particular, Li Qiu's trust and respect for him made Ma Zhou feel grateful and excited.

At the same time, Li Qiu's promotion of Ma Zhou this time also made those who lined up outside the gate still suspicious, and those who were holding a wait-and-see attitude couldn't help but get restless.

Did you see that Ma Zhou, who was hired just yesterday, is actually sitting in the examiner's seat today.

Lord Li Qiu keeps his word, as long as you have real skills, you will definitely be reused.

So what are you waiting for, hurry up and try it? !

Chapter 313

With the ferment of the Hibiscus Garden recruiting talents, the popularity around Chang'an City is also getting higher and higher.

And at this time, Li Qiu poured another bucket of oil on the already rapidly expanding flames.

He directly announced that anyone who successfully recruited Furong Garden, his qualified children, could enter Furong Academy for free.

As mentioned earlier, in this era, all promotion paths are firmly in the hands of the elite.

Ordinary people just want to read and write, which is too difficult.

And Li Qiu and Furong Academy undoubtedly poked a big hole in this hopeless, overcast sky.

If it is said that the previous Furong Garden was attracted by generous salary, it is not attractive to many people with family skills.

After all, those who really have unique knowledge and skills will not worry about making money.

But this can make their children read and write, and worship famous scholars as teachers. No one can refuse this kind of temptation.

So after the news spread, not only the surrounding areas of Chang'an City, but also the entire pass, even Shandong and Jiangnan, people were rushing here one after another.

As the momentum of Furongyuan became more and more noisy, the memorabilia about Li Qiu and Furongyuan in the court hall piled up on Li Shimin's desk like snowflakes.

Perhaps people in later generations will not be able to understand how Li Qiu's current behavior was so rebellious to the people and scholars at that time.

How unacceptable.

If you want to ask, is there anything that can change the color of the ancients?

So strange skills and obscene ingenuity will undoubtedly always occupy a place on the list.

This idiom from "Shang Shu? Tai Oath" has been at the bottom of the chain of social contempt since it first appeared.

"Book of Rites? Yueling" records that when Ji Chun and Meng Dong organized the manufacture of utensils by engineers, the supervisor's date was: "Don't go against the times, don't use it as a sleight of hand to indulge your heart."

Since Zheng Xuan, people have generally interpreted miraculous skills as strange skills, and obscenity as excessive craftsmanship.

In Confucianism, it insists on emphasizing justice over profit.

And strange skills and obscene skills represent those skills that make people lose their minds.

However, the early products of strange skills and ingenuity were mostly more enjoyable than practical.

Therefore, Confucianism and strange skills and prostitution almost naturally became a pair of deadly enemies.

In the feudal society for more than 2000 years, Confucianism has been the orthodox doctrine for nine out of ten of the time.

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that strange skills and obscenity have been resisted for thousands of years.

In Taoism, whose influence has lasted for thousands of years, strange skills and prostitution are still the object of their denial.

Taoism pursues Taoism to follow nature, and advocates simple and true qualities.

Advocate a life of simplicity and simplicity, less selfish desires.

Therefore, the pursuit of advanced technology and the extravagance of extravagant enjoyment have become the destined opponents of Taoism.

It's just that it can't even compare with Confucianism, and if it is resisted by Taoism, it will naturally only be despised even more.

In addition, even the Mohists, who value technological development, are also resistant to strange skills and obscene ingenuity.

Mohism values ​​logic and experimentation, and compared with other schools of thought, it already recognizes the value of technology very much.

But Mohism also insists on universal love, non-attack, non-joy and festival burial.

Therefore, the strange skills and ingenuity, whose main goal is to satisfy the aristocrats' extravagant and voluptuous life, also formed antagonism with the broad masses of the bottom class.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the state was clearly emphasizing the root and suppressing the end.

Did agricultural tools need excessive craftsmanship at that time?

no need...

Is there a market for ingenious handicraft products?

have.But the state just wants to restrain the development of commerce at this moment.

Therefore, to suppress business in order to promote agriculture, things that can enhance the competitiveness of businesses such as strange techniques and obscenity, will naturally be blacklisted by the government.

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty did not allow merchants to take clothes with silk, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty levied heavy taxes on industrial and commercial practitioners, which reflected the government's negative attitude towards strange skills and prostitution.

To be honest, compared with the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Tang and Song Dynasties' emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business was relatively moderate.

In most cases, these scholar-bureaucrats and the aristocrats don't bother to pay attention to some minor changes in society.

However, now, such a fanfare and loud dissent like Li Qiu's has already touched their bottom line and rebellious scale.

It is absolutely not allowed!

Above the court hall, Wen Yanbo, the official censor, said sharply: "Your Majesty, I want to play the governor of Youzhou, the king of Beiping, Li Qiu."

"It is abhorrent that it advocates the theory of strange skills and obscenities, and corrupts people's customs and morals."

"Confucius said, as for Tao, it depends on virtue, it depends on benevolence, and it depends on art."

"And Li Qiu's current behavior is simply insulting the sages."

"I hope His Majesty will punish him severely and stop pampering him!"

After Wen Yanbo, Xiao Yu also came out, "Your Majesty, I also think what Mr. Wen said is very true."

"There is a saying in this Shangshu that King Zhou did not build suburban houses and ancestral temples, but performed strange skills to please women."

"If you condone Li Qiu's actions, it will be a sign of disaster!"

"I also hope that Your Majesty will not take it as a trivial matter."

Even the prime minister, Du Zhenglun, also came out at the same moment, and played the role of Li Qiu.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether Li Qiu's actions violate the words of the sages or not."

"Just because of his harm to the common people, it has reached the point where he must be severely punished."

"According to what I know, among the few people recruited by this Furong Garden in the past few days, almost all of them are illiterate and do not read sage books."

"Among them was a commoner named Wang Wu who was hired by Li Qiu just because he knew how to raise dogs."

"And for food, there is also a monthly salary of two thousand dollars."

"A yearly calculation of more than 2 yuan is much larger than the annual harvest of a family."

"After this precedent was established, the people around Chang'an City, and even in the Guan, the people in Shandong were shocked by it, and they left home secretly, coming here because of the name."

"If things go on like this for a long time, and the common people all advocate this practice of getting something for nothing, then who else will farm the land, and who will serve the country loyally?"

"If we continue to indulge the development of this phenomenon, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of our Tang Dynasty, and the country will be ruined."

Listening to their dense playbook, Li Shimin also felt dizzy.

In fact, since the development of Furongyuan, it has always been suspected of similar obscene skills.

But from the current point of view, these things produced in the Furong Garden are indeed interesting, and no harm has been seen.

So in Li Shimin's heart, he really didn't feel anything.

He was really annoyed at the moment, these courtiers were staring at Li Qiu everywhere, every little thing could be magnified for them.

It's as if if the Furong Garden is not eradicated in one go, Datang will perish in an instant.

And people like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, especially Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting.

Which one is not an orthodox Confucianist?

In principle, they also resolutely oppose strange and obscene techniques in their hearts.

If it was normal, with Wei Zheng's temperament, he would have to fight against each other at this moment, so as to show his ambition by death.

However, emotionally, they all fell silent and fell silent.

After all, that was Li Qiu, and the strange and obscene skills he created were not considered extraordinary and obscene skills.

At the same time, like the chessboard, tea leaves, teapots, charcoal stove, coke, Eight Immortals Table, and Liang Zhu music scores in their mansion today.

As well as the shooting Sirius to drink, the delicious dishes to eat, and many other things, all of which were made by Li Qiu.

This is short-handed for taking others, and short-mouthed for eating others.

Now let them fight back, add insult to injury, and be the wolf in Mr. Dong Guo, they absolutely can't do it.
