Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The quality of the printed things is a bit poor, but... this is also batch printing!Isn't this much faster than they used to copy a book? !

Obviously, these scholars are very smart, not so stupid.

"Yes! The emergence of printing means that books will be popularized in large numbers, and the emergence of papermaking will reduce the price of books to a level that ordinary people can accept." Li Ke said seriously.

In this day and age, books are really expensive!A real word for money!The most common 1-character book in Datang, that is, a book with 10 characters, costs [-] guan!even more!What concept?It can be exchanged for [-] catties of grain!

This is an ordinary elementary school book, and those books that are really worth more are more expensive!

This is another reason why ordinary people can't afford to read books at all, and aristocratic families control all reading channels.

All the scholars are very excited!They all came from poor backgrounds, and they knew too well what it was like to have no books to read.

And now, His Royal Highness the King of Shu really did what he said, giving all the poor scholars and ordinary people a chance!

"In the future, we will also strengthen the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, so that the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty will become a channel for all scholars, not just for the gentry to participate, but for everyone in the world." Li Ke said seriously.

"And everyone, I can't start all of this by myself, and I need your strength." When Li Ke said this, with a solemn expression, he bowed and bowed to all the scholars with his hands clasped in his hands.

Li Ke's action made all the scholars red-eyed. When did they receive such an attitude?In Taixue and other places in Guozijian, they are all looked down upon by others.

But for Li Ke, His Royal Highness Shu not only let them see hope for the future, but more importantly, His Highness Shu respected them.

"The ministers are willing to die for His Highness the King of Shu!" A literati took a step back with a solemn expression, bowed and saluted.

"The ministers are willing to die for His Highness the King of Shu!" All the literati acted almost in the same way.

The craftsmen next to them curled their lips in disdain, and they came again, and there was a wave every now and then, queuing up, you know?queue!

"I don't need you to die for me. You have to stay useful and do your best in your lifetime to implement these policies! This is what you should really do. During this process, maybe some of you It is true that you will die, but you are destined to leave your name in history, because you have created a new era!"

"One of you is dead, there are tens of thousands of you who share your spirit and follow your path! And you are their spiritual leaders!" Li Ke said seriously.

"Yes!" All the literati were excited!As a scholar, leaving a name in history is the greatest honor!

"Now, we have to divide into two groups to write articles, and this Datang Weekly is what I told you is the first stick for us to leverage certain systems of Datang! But we will inevitably encounter unprecedented resistance, unprecedented Resistance, I think you should know better than me! Because you have encountered all kinds of restrictions in the process of studying!"

"It's like a big net, trapping you in the middle, so that you in this society have nowhere to escape! So, if you want to break through this net, can you understand the difficulties you encounter?" Li Ke He opened the mouth with a calm face.

All the scholars are silent!

"Show them. This is a sample, it's an experimental printing. When the time comes, the authentic product will be slightly revised, but the main content will remain the same." Li Ke waved his hand.

The people led by Tian Meng immediately handed the printed first batch of Datang Weekly to them, each with a copy.

Newspapers of this era naturally cannot invest so much content like those of later generations.No, it is not easy for people in this era to see the paper on which they write.

Moreover, it is impossible for newspapers to be printed on both sides, and the quality of paper and printing quality cannot keep up.

The first issue of Datang Weekly had only two articles.

The first article is the main one, but when these scholars opened it, they were shocked.

In the upper left corner of the front, it is printed in large characters: Datang Weekly, and the first issue is written in the lower right corner.

Then the following line is the title: Shocked, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did such a thing!

All the scholars are stupid, what the hell are these titles.But... Don't tell me, they are more or less curious in their hearts, what exactly did His Majesty do.

Text: In the winter of last year, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty officially made the decision to use troops against Tuyuhun!Many people don't know what Tuyuhun is. It is located in the most important part of the Tang Dynasty, the southern part of the Hexi Corridor that connects Yumen Pass in the Western Regions...

The reason why such a decision was made was because Murong Fuyun, the leader of Tuyuhun, was a despicable and shameless villain, who repeatedly turned his back on his word. Retreating, they burned and looted the border of Datang again!

What follows is a long section of slander against Murong Fuyun, portraying him as a heinous, rebellious villain, a man-eating devil.

"This...Your Highness, isn't this a bit untrue?" A scholar really couldn't hold back, he couldn't bear the vernacular writing. Maybe the person who wrote it was not knowledgeable enough, but many of the contents in it were obviously fabricated Yes, this is to provoke people's anger.

"Isn't it true? A few years ago, the Tuyuhun army plundered the border, and in addition to the disaster year, a large number of refugees appeared on the border of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty. Because the food was looted, and the Tang Dynasty was not in a hurry to deploy troops, and in addition to the disaster year, the Tang Dynasty The human tragedy of Yizi cannibalism has appeared on the border of the Western Regions, tell me, this is not true?!"

"Do you know what Yi Zi Xiangshi means?" Li Ke sneered, and before the scholar could answer, he continued to say in a cold tone: "Yi Zi Xiangshi is the treasure you cherish in your heart, but It's a bowl of meat in someone else's bowl!"

The cruel and cold words seemed to pour down from the top of everyone's heads.

As a later generation, seeing this word, Li Ke couldn't even imagine such a scene, two pairs of parents exchanged children, and then put them... How much grief did they endure, but can they be blamed?People who have never endured hunger and such an environment can never imagine such a tragedy, and many times it is not even the subjective decision of the parents.

Standing in future generations, countless people will criticize these parents, but you know, those children... can't survive?Even the adults don't have anything to eat, and the children will die.

What's even more frightening is...the parents who keep their children will be targeted by some strong disaster victims who don't have children, snatch these children away, and then...

Kids are starving, would they get away with something like this?Won't.

"Your Highness, I think these words are not sharp enough!" After a long silence, a scholar spoke loudly.
