Chapter 126 The Imperial Examination System
Li Shimin walked around Yang Zhuo's printing workshop, and felt that he had a long posture!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, you have so many books here, how much are they worth!" Li Shimin said with emotion.
"Not many! The books here are not expensive." Yang Zhuo said.
When Li Shimin and the others heard this, they became interested!
"How many copies does this book have to sell?" Li Shimin asked as he picked up a copy of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"That book is cheap! Only 60 copper coins!" Yang Zhuo said with a smile.
what!
Fifty coppers!
"Brother Yang Zhuo, you didn't lie to us, did you! This thick book only sells for 60 copper coins!!" Li Shimin said in disbelief.
"That's right! The cheapest second-hand books on the market cost thousands of copper coins!" Fang Xuanling shook his head.
"Brother Yang Zhuo, if you set the price like this, you will lose money!" Du Ruhui said.
"Hey! You guys! It's just that I have never seen the world! The cost of my book is fully calculated, and it is only 20 copper coins. I sell 60 copper coins, which has doubled several times! I can make money!" Yang Zhuo explained.
Li Shimin and the others looked at each other, Yang Zhuo didn't seem to be joking either!
Could it be that what he said is true!
This book is too cheap!
"Brother Yang Zhuo! You sell this book like this! Even children from poor families can afford to read!" Li Shimin was very excited!
The main reason why there are no children from poor families to enter the court as officials is that books are too expensive!I can't read it!
Talented people, when they meet a good opportunity, can seek refuge with aristocratic families and become their disciples!
However, if these people go out, they will be controlled by the aristocratic family!
However, if everyone can afford to read books, then there is no need to seek refuge in aristocratic families!
Moreover, according to what Yang Zhuo said, reform the official selection system and change it to the college entrance examination!
Then there is no such thing as a powerful family!
"Brother Yang Zhuo! This matter benefits the country and the people! Have you ever thought about spreading it?"
Li Shimin looked at Yang Zhuo with pleading eyes.
Yang Zhuo smiled, after tossing around for a long time, in fact, he just waited for Lao Li's words!
That's right!He just wanted to use Lao Li to complete the tasks issued by this system!
Moreover, this old Li is willing to be Yang Zhuo's tool man, Yang Zhuo is happy to be at ease!
"Well..." Yang Zhuo frowned slightly, pretending to be embarrassed.
Li Shimin is afraid of Yang Zhuo!
"Old rules! You provide the technology, I will operate it, and we will get [-]% of the profit." Li Shimin said with a bitter face.
"Okay! That's it!" Yang Zhuo laughed.
Well, this task will be handed over to Lao Li, and he can continue to salt fish again!
-
early morning.
"There is something to play! Nothing to retreat!"
Su Rujiang sang.
The minister below yawned. Recently, things have been going well, and life is going well.
However, this Li Shimin was different. The last assassination probably scared him a lot.
The family ministers secretly proudly said.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Shimin winked at Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty! I have something to play!" Du Ruhui came out.
"Zoo!" Li Shimin had a wicked smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I deeply feel that our system of selecting officials in the Tang Dynasty has serious drawbacks!" Du Ruhui said seriously.
As soon as these words were said, the other ministers immediately lost their sleepiness!
Yo ha!Old man Du!How dare you start saying that the system for selecting officials is no longer good?
Li Shimin pretended to be curious, and said, "Du Aiqing, tell me, what are the disadvantages of this official selection system?"
Du Ruhui had colluded with Li Shimin a long time ago, so at this time, speaking of it, it was very slippery!
"The disadvantage is that the procuratorial system, the official selection system, and the elected officials are not worthy of virtue!"
"I don't know if the emperor has heard such a nursery rhyme among the people. To promote a scholar, I don't know the book. To promote Xiaolian, my father lives away. Han Suqing is white and muddy, and Gao Diliang is as timid as a chicken!"
Li Shimin gave Du Ruhui an appreciative look!
"What Du Aiqing said is also reasonable. There is indeed something wrong with the prosecution system!" Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty! I researched it privately and believed that the examination system can be changed to the imperial examination system!" Du Ruhui said.
"Oh? What is the imperial examination system?" Li Shimin pretended to be puzzled.
"The imperial examination system is just blah blah blah..." Du Ruhui explained.
These were all explained by Yang Zhuo yesterday, and Du Ruhui repeated them again.
Du Ruhui just followed the script!
After saying this, the ministers below started to commotion!
"This old man Du, why do you want to play such a game?"
"This is probably the emperor's intention, this old man Du is just a trick!"
"I don't know if this imperial examination system is good or bad? Will it affect our interests?"
"Don't worry! It's impossible to have any influence! Everything remains the same! No matter how you select officials, even if you take part in the imperial examination, those who take part in the imperial examination are not from our aristocratic families!"
"That's right! Change the soup but not the medicine! It's all the same!"
"No matter what the emperor does, anyway, our people can still enter the court as officials! After all, there is no one who can compete with our family!"
The aristocratic families whispered in low voices, and the result of the discussion was that, according to the usual practice, no matter what Li Shimin did, just stand on the sidelines and watch the fun!
"My dear friends, what do you think of what Du Aiqing said?" Li Shimin asked.
The family minister stopped talking!
Li Shimin felt very boring!never mind!Just find someone and pass it!
He looked at Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling understood immediately!
He came out and said: "I think! This move is feasible! The emperor can reform the system of selecting officials as soon as possible!!"
After thinking for a long time, Wei Zheng also came out and said, "It's feasible, it's feasible, but the effect is not good!"
His worry is that children from poor families cannot afford to go to school, so reforming the system of selecting officials is still useless!
Those who take the college entrance examination can only be from aristocratic families!
"Wei Aiqing's worries are not unreasonable, but, in everything, if you don't try, you will never know the result." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Seeing Li Shimin's self-confidence, Wei Zheng secretly wondered, what's going on?
Li Shimin is pretending again?
"Okay! Let's make a statement! Those who agree will be silent, and those who disagree can be listed!" Li Shimin said solemnly.
Ministers know that this system of selecting officials does not cure the root cause, so it is meaningless!
So, I agree by default!
Let Li Shimin toss about it, anyway, they believe that it will not harm the interests of their aristocratic family!
As long as they can control the resources of books and education, it is up to them to decide who is the official in the court!
"Okay! Since everyone does not object! Then this matter is finalized!"
Li Shimin is in a good mood. These ministers from aristocratic families have no objections, otherwise, it would be really difficult to reform!
"Du Aiqing, you and Fang Aiqing are fully responsible for this matter, and reform the official selection system to the college entrance examination system as soon as possible!" Li Shimin ordered.
"I obey the order!" Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling replied.
