Li Yuanying ran away when he came up with an idea, regardless of whether His Majesty Li Er agreed or not, after arriving at the Imperial College, he resumed his usual eagerness to learn, bringing his friends to block the master every day. But recently, he has done one more thing, which is to plan the itinerary for traveling in Tubo, pondering a story for each location, and connecting them together into a complete and inspiring story, so as to attract people to go sightseeing in Tubo.
Li Yuanying is the best at making up stories, but to make them true, one must base them on reality. Li Yuanying continued to collect information while sorting out the story line, and occasionally wrote to ask King Jiangxia and the others about the specific details of these envoys.
After more than a month, Li Yuanying made up the story of "Wencheng's Marriage", first using the various experiences of the Han Dynasty princess's marriage as a comparison to set off the difficulty of getting married, and then focusing on describing Wencheng's wisdom and Tang Dynasty's generosity.
This paragraph is based on the customs and customs of Tubo brought back by the caravan, with rich pictures and texts, and is very real: the clothing of the people in Tubo is simple, mostly made of fur after simple sewing, which is only practical and lacks ornamental value, while the costumes of Tang Dynasty are gorgeous and exquisite; Tubo doesn’t have the habit of finely cooking and broiling, most of them eat and drink rough, and they don’t know how to cook exquisite tableware; these are the second, the most important thing is that no one in Tubo studies medicine, most of them believe in illusory witchcraft, and they have to work hard to get over any injuries , or go to the wizard in the tribe for help.
The craftsmen, doctors, and embroiderers brought by Wencheng are changing everything.
There are also many things worth visiting in Tubo, such as ferocious yaks, sheep and horses, endless grasslands, and snow-capped mountains that have not melted for years. Mentioning that playing Li Yuanying is a professional, he picked up what he wanted to play with, and finally said that he is not a Tang Dynasty person if he does not go to Tubo once, and he is not a good man if he does not ride a Tubo horse!
Li Yuanying wrote and painted until the beginning of June, and finally produced "Wencheng and Marriage". He asked someone to take the manuscript to Li Chunfeng, and asked Li Chunfeng to help print it out as soon as possible. Traveling as a bedding.
After finishing the work on his mind, Li Yuanying read another special article from Mei Niang before he had time to play happily.
The author of this article is a scholar from other places, named Zhang Jianzhi, who is from Xiangzhou and is seventeen years old this year. After Zhang Jianzhi arrived in Chang'an, he was immediately fascinated by the library. He queued up outside the library almost every day, and even finished reading the library newspaper in one issue.
Later, just reading was not enough, so Zhang Jianzhi decided to write it by himself. He had already drafted the content, and the writing was eloquent and it was a complete article. After Zhang Jianzhi finished writing, he checked it himself and found that there was no major problem, so he submitted the article to the library newspaper.
Although Wu Mei also entered the Imperial College, she still regularly collects articles from the library newspaper for careful reading. After seeing Zhang Jianzhi's article, she was greatly shocked, and soon handed him over to Li Yuanying.
This article is about "blessing hands" and "blessing feet".
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repeatedly expropriated Goryeo and carried out many large-scale projects that cost the people and money, which directly caused the people to pay heavy taxes and make life more difficult. In order to avoid taxation, many people mutilate their own brothers and feet, and show their incomplete bodies to others, saying that they do not meet the requirements for collection!
Li Yuanying had never heard of this kind of thing before. Because of the heavy taxation, the people would rather mutilate their own hands or feet, and call them "blessed hands" and "blessed feet". How terrible is the taxation of the court
What's even more frightening is that this trend that emerged at the end of the Sui Dynasty has not been eradicated after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. For example, there are still people in Zhang Jian's hometown who do this.
Zhang Jianzhi was born in a poor family, and his family had never been an official in many generations. He was the only one who was smart and quick-witted, and received many recommendations, so he had the opportunity to study in Chang'an.
The young man left home, he wanted to make a name for himself, this article was the pebble he threw out to test it out.
Now it seems that this small stone was thrown very accurately. At least Li Yuanying felt that Zhang Jianzhi's article was well written, organized and thought-provoking after reading it. Li Yuanying said: "I didn't expect such a thing to exist in the world." He raised his hand and looked at it, and sighed with Wei Shu and the others, "Even if I have a small cut in my hand, the pain is unbearable. How could they do it?" Got it?"
Wei Shu said: "Who would want to hurt his own hands and feet unless he has to? This is roughly like a tyrannical government that is fiercer than a tiger."
Li Yuanying has also read the Book of Rites, so he naturally knows the story of a tyrannical government fiercer than a tiger.
It was about Confucius passing through Mount Tai with his disciples, and met a woman who lived in a place where fierce tigers were infested. After asking, he learned that three generations of men in the woman's family had been killed by tigers. Confucius asked the woman why she didn't move out of this place, and the woman said they were more afraid of harsh tyranny.
So Confucius lamented that "a tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger".
Wu Mei has another opinion: "Compared to the end of the Sui Dynasty, the taxation of the Tang Dynasty has been much lighter, so it shouldn't be so. There should be some people here who would rather lose a hand or a foot simply to escape the drudgery. In the eyes of some people, there may be more and more opportunistic and lazy people who are considered "waste" in the eyes of some people, and these practices should be banned."
Di Renjie also finished reading Zhang Jianzhi's article, and he also agreed with Wu Mei's opinion. It is understandable and sympathetic to do this when the tax is heavy; it is too inappropriate to do this when the tax is light. It is not good for the court or for yourself. This practice should be banned as much as possible.
Tang Xuan said: "A sage should have a decision."
Li Yuanying nodded. Although the library newspaper is not a serious publication, there are still some people who like to read the library newspaper among the officials, and someone will definitely present this article to His Majesty Li Er.
Of course, it is not Li Yuanying's habit to sit and wait for someone to do things. He said: "This Cambodian article is really well written, and the idea is also very good. I'm going to talk to Lao Kong and quickly recruit people to the Imperial College. Don't put on airs." Send people to other places in vain!"
Li Yuanying did what he said, and immediately took the article to find Kong Yingda.
It happened that Kong Yingda was in Zhishe, when he saw Li Yuanying coming, he frowned and asked him what he was doing here.
Li Yuanying showed Kong Yingda the front page article of the library newspaper.
Kong Yingda didn't know why, so she took the article and read it carefully, feeling a little shocked in her heart. Although he has gone through two dynasties, he became famous at a young age. He has not experienced any hardships. He has been studying scriptures all his life, and he doesn't know much about people's livelihood and conditions.
After reading this slightly immature article, Kong Yingda also felt that the author was a talent. Seeing the introduction in small characters at the end that the author Zhang Jianzhi was seventeen years old and came to Beijing to study, Kong Yingda understood Li Yuanying's meaning: "So many classmates are not enough for you to make friends with, and you want to invite others to come in to play with you?"
Li Yuanying was not convinced: "What does it mean to play with me? What I do is serious. Can you see when I have done bad things after I entered the Imperial College?"
Kong Yingda thought about it, Li Yuanying was really obedient. He nodded and said: "Based on this article, it is enough to enter the Imperial College. When he comes, I will arrange him to enter the prison as soon as possible."
Li Yuanying was happy. He urged Kong Yingda again: "Brother Huang doesn't have time to read our newspaper, why don't you submit the article to Brother Huang and let him see what to do about this matter." After Li Yuanying finished speaking, he shared the discussion with Kong Yingda Having said that, whether it's excessive taxation or laziness of the people, it's not for people like them who haven't entered the court to judge, it's for professionals like Fang Xuanling to come.
Kong Yingda agreed. Although he only cares about education, His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to culture and governance. If he wants to see him, His Majesty Li Er will naturally meet him. This article is well-written and well-founded, and it should not be a fake. His Majesty Li Er should really know about these situations.
After sending Li Yuanying away, Kong Yingda packed up and went to the palace.
His Majesty Li Er heard that Kong Yingda was here, and he was a little surprised. It was not too late, and there should be nothing wrong with Kong Yingda.
His Majesty Li Er asked Kong Yingda to come in and invited Kong Yingda to sit down and talk.
Kong Yingda submitted the library report and asked His Majesty Li Er to read the front page article.
His Majesty Li Er had heard about the newspaper published by the library, and knew that some good articles would be published from time to time. However, the library newspaper is only something freely organized by non-official scholars, and the quality of each issue varies. Although Li Yuanying sent a copy to the palace every day, His Majesty Li Er didn't have so much time to read every issue.
Since Kong Yingda specially came over to let him read this article, His Majesty Li Er took over the library newspaper and read it carefully.
After reading, His Majesty Li Er sighed. He said: "What I have done is still not good enough to make the people feel at ease."
Of course Kong Yingda couldn't answer this, he praised His Majesty Li Er, and then relayed the discussion of Li Yuanying and others to His Majesty Li Er. He also felt that no matter it was for the court or for the common people who hurt themselves, this practice should be explicitly prohibited.
His Majesty Li Er nodded in agreement, and looked at the small print introduction in the newspaper, and had a little impression of Zhang Jianzhi, who was only seventeen years old. He said: "This kid's articles are well written. You should cultivate them well when you enter the Imperial College."
Kong Yingda agreed, and raised her mouth again: "His Royal Highness Prince Teng can't wait to invite him to play with him."
His Majesty Li Er said: "Doesn't that kid want to play with everyone he sees?" Speaking of his younger brother, His Majesty Li Er calmly praised, "Fortunately, he has good eyesight, and everyone he knows is quite knowledgeable." It's my ability, I didn't hang out with any messy people."
What can Kong Yingda say? Kong Yingda can only say that this is true. His Royal Highness King Teng has a precise vision, and all the friends he has made are good, and they often take the top spot in turn.
His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied, and asked Wei Zheng and the others to tell them about the "blessed hands" and "blessed feet". By the way, the prince was also called to listen.
After discussing the countermeasures of banning "Fushou" and "Fuzu" and sighing at each other, His Majesty Li Er seemingly inadvertently praised his younger brother, saying that the article was a library newspaper Who made the library newspaper? His brother! Who submitted the article to Kong Yingda? His brother! The things they are discussing now have also been discussed by people around his brother. What does this mean? His younger brother is smart, and the people around his younger brother are also smart!
The younger brother of the Hunshilittle Demon King has become so outstanding now, it's not enough to praise Kong Yingda, of course, he has to ask all his confidantes to praise him at once, and let Cheng Qian come over to listen and study hard!
Everyone was very silent.
Changsun Wuji even thought in his heart, yes, you have such a precise eye, even your talents have been begged. You just need to pamper him like this, soon this kid will be able to fly to the sky!
The author has something to say:
His Majesty Li Er: Hurt my younger brother face to face, but praise my younger brother behind my back.
Little Prince: Brother trash! (pointing)
