"This Qiqi Culture is so conscientious that it has lowered the price of books so low!"
"Thanks to Lord Li! Do you think that in the next three years, the price of books will really be as high as onions?"
In the Jinyu Academy in the south of Chang'an City, two plainly dressed scholars squatted on a stone and looked at the same newspaper, sighing.
In the early Tang Dynasty, academies were privately run places where a few familiar scholars would discuss Taoism, study, and practice with each other. At that time, academies often had Taoist temples and Buddhist temples nearby, so it was natural that several academies were integrated. The styles of Buddhism, Taoism and other schools were mixed together with Confucian academies. From then on, the three brothers were knocked on the same head. It was also the beginning of the integration of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, but the real fusion was indeed It was in the Song Dynasty.
"Eh~? Brother Tianhua, Brother Feichen, what are you talking about?"
At this time, a handsome young man walked out of it, looked at the two classmates on the stone, and asked curiously.
"Brother Hongyi, Tianhua and I are talking about today's newspaper! You should come and take a look too!"
The young man in a stone layup shirt stood up and greeted with a smile.
"Oh? Then let me take a look too!"
After a while.
"A man from Lantian County made a bold statement that in the next three years, book prices will be as high as onions! Today, Fantastic Culture once again provides 27 kinds of books, 350 copies of each book, all sold at low prices! Hiss~! We lost money yesterday Are you still squeezing your head to go to Funny Culture to snap up books? It seems that Mr. Li is going to do what he says! Funny Culture has slowly begun to increase the supply of such high-quality and low-priced books, maybe in the future Books are really worth as much as onions!"
The handsome scholar, after reading the headlines, slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
"Brother Hongyi is right, I just hope that the supply of interesting cultural books will be larger!"
"Yes, Lord Li first invented the Quyuan Plow to benefit the people, and now he has introduced so many cheap books to help poor people. This is really good news for us scholars!"
"Haha, I, Hua Hongyi, was not convinced by anyone before, but now I am convinced by Lord Li! It would be great if Qiqi Culture sells Lord Li's new arithmetic textbooks!"
Hua Hongyi echoed.
"What? Brother Hongyi still wants to learn Jue Li's new arithmetic?"
Hua Hongyi nodded and said: "Of course, I heard that this new type of arithmetic is self-contained and can be calculated conveniently and quickly. Hua has admired it for a long time! It's a pity that I am not qualified to enter the Imperial College! It is really a great regret in my life!"
"Hey, Brother Hongyi wants to be more liberal. It's really not easy for us, the poor people, to get into the Imperial College!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching a man from Li County. Yesterday, he allowed customers in his shop to fight and disturb public order, causing chaos in the East Market at that time. According to the law, he should be severely punished!"
Tai Chi Hall, early morning.
As expected, Wei Zheng, a big troll, read a book by Li Zexuan as soon as he came up. I don't know if this old guy slept in the study room yesterday, but the circles under his eyes looked a bit dark.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his hair stood up in anger. The old goblin got angry, but he didn't care about the occasion. At this moment, he raised his feet and was about to step out to confront Wei Zheng, but Qin Shubao slapped him. Hold on.
"Know your morals and don't be impatient. Let's see what your Majesty says!"
Qin Shubao said in a low voice.
"snort!"
Cheng Yaojin glared at Wei Zheng unwillingly and stepped back angrily. In his opinion, Li Zexuan was such a well-behaved kid. After helping farmers, he started helping poor scholars, and also helped the old Cheng family earn so much money. What a good kid, how could he not be as bad as Wei Zheng said.
Changsun Wuji, who was in the front row, his eyes flashed when he heard Wei Zheng's impeachment, but soon returned to calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"cough!"
Li Er picked up his energy, coughed slightly, and said in a serious tone:
"Wei Aiqing, I already knew what you were talking about yesterday, and I ordered Li Zexuan again and ordered him to be grounded for seven days and fined three months' salary. Let's put this matter behind us!"
At this moment, Li Er said happily in his heart: Are you, Wei Xuancheng, the only one who knows how to squirt? I have been prepared this time, so I will let you taste the feeling of being speechless!
Wei Zheng frowned deeply at this moment. He did not expect that Li Er would issue the order so quickly, and he did not expect that Li Zexuan's holy favor would be so strong. This punishment was really light rain for him.
"Your Majesty, isn't this punishment a bit..."
Wei Zheng felt that Li Er was engaging in malpractice for personal gain and was unfair, so he couldn't help but speak out.
"Something?"
Li Er raised his eyebrows and smiled with some evil intentions: "Does Wei Aiqing think these punishments are a bit light? That's just right. In order to show my care for all the ministers in the imperial court, if any official makes such a small mistake in the future, According to the standards this time, let’s impose a seven-day grounding and a three-month fine as punishment!”
Wei Zheng was stunned and his jaw almost dropped. How could he still play like this? If this was the case, wouldn't the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty want to hate Wei Zheng to death? The three-month confiscation of salary was just a drop in the bucket for Li Zexuan, but for many ministers who relied on their salaries to live, it was life-threatening! For example, Wei Zheng is this type.
The other ministers were also in an uproar at this moment, and the whole Taiji Hall was buzzing.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing so. I feel that your Majesty's punishment for the Li County man is just right. It can not only reflect your Majesty's kindness, but also demonstrate the majesty of our Tang Dynasty laws. It really kills two birds with one stone!"
There is no way, Wei Zheng has woken up at this moment, he has fallen into the pit dug by Li Er, he must not surrender at this time, otherwise his salary will be lost by accident, and other ministers will also treat him badly. Get together and attack! No matter how awesome and capable Wei Zheng is, he would not dare to be enemies with all the ministers at the same time!
"oh!"
Li Er nodded with a smile, and then said: "Since Wei Aiqing said so on his own initiative, we will not mention this matter anymore. Does Wei Aiqing have other things to report?"
"Old minister, I have nothing else to do."
Wei Zheng originally planned to impeach Li Zexuan and then ask for credit for Li Zexuan, but now after his impeachment, Li Zexuan still had nothing to do, but he was almost cheated, so why did he want to ask for credit for Li Zexuan? He is not in such a mood now.
But just because he wasn't willing, it didn't mean that others weren't willing either. At this moment, Kong Yingda came out of the crowd and said to Li Er:
"Your Majesty, the Li County man has recently created pinyin, promoted newspapers, and reduced book prices. In addition to the previous blackboard, chalk, and new arithmetic, everything has contributed to the education of our Datang Dynasty. It is light and has a great impact. The veteran thinks In everything, mistakes should be punished, and merits should be rewarded. Such great achievements, it is difficult to convince the public without heavy rewards!"
"Yes, yes, your majesty, what Kong Jijiu said is absolutely true! The old minister seconded it, the old minister seconded it!"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up, and he jumped out quickly and shouted loudly. At the same time, he thought to himself: Why is this old man so cute today? They all spoke to my old Cheng’s heart.
