Chapter 372 Xiaoxuanxuan's Waterloo (Three in One Chapter)(1/2)
At this time, everyone finally understood why this young man could become an elder sister, and even be the king among the playboys of the same age in Chang'an. This strength, let alone those of the same age, may not be able to afford to offend others in circles under the age of 20.
When Yan Shigu came back from the emperor with a smile, Xiao Shouye came forward and cried and started crying. He did not want to complain, but said that he was unwell and wanted to go home for medical treatment. Yan Shigu did not doubt that he had him, so he nodded and agreed.
However, such a thing happened in Hongwenguan cannot be hidden from the emperor and the queen, especially the queen, in terms of educating children. If the granddaughter is on his side, he can no longer be free from raising him and must be taught well.
So what Xiao Xuanxuan didn't know was that although she had established her authority in the class on the first day of school, she also exposed her trump card. What awaited her would be a wave of strict discipline.
In the Lizheng Hall, Xiao Xuanxuan went to report to the queen after school. The queen originally wanted to arrange it to live with her side, but later she thought about it and arranged it with her little daughter Aizi. It would be more convenient for the two little guys to live together.
"Dear Sun is back from school? Come and let grandma see if you are tired in class?" the queen asked dotingly.
Xiao Xuanxuan dropped her schoolbag and trotted into the queen's arms, asking for advice: "Grandma, the old man praised me today, saying that I can recite the complete Analects of Confucius. I am a smart child."
"Oh, is that right? Grandma also thinks my good grandson is the smartest child. Tell me what fun was going on in Hongwenguan today?"
The queen praised Xiao Xuanxuan, who could not resist it, was like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and she said everything except to teach Xiao Shouye a lesson.
The queen couldn't help laughing in her heart when she heard about her granddaughter's deeds, but she couldn't teach her children like this, so she stood up and said, "I've heard people tell you that you took Xiao Miaomiao to bully your classmates?"
"Ah? Did Xiao Shouye say it?" Xiao Xuanxuan covered her mouth and asked a little scared.
"No, many people have seen it. You little monkey is really naughty. Relying on the fact that you have little meow, you beat the children in Chang'an all over, and now you go to the palace to bully your classmates. This is wrong." The queen taught a lesson.
Xiao Xuanxuan hugged the queen's arm and begged, "Grandma, I know I'm wrong, I won't do this again. Will I let them all play with Xiao Miaomiao in the future?
Xiao Miaomiao is so cute. I see many classmates envious."
With a faint smile, the queen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I've asked someone to notify your father. Xiao Miaomiao will be taken back later."
"No, grandma..."
Xiao Xuanxuan was about to cry. Her father said that she would not take Xiao Miaomiao away. Unexpectedly, the grandmother who always loved her the most in the palace was taken away. Without Xiao Miaomiao, what else is there to be fun?
Moreover, the classmates in the school are older than themselves. Will they come up to bully me? Especially Li Shangdan and his men inside, they were beaten.
Xiao Xuanxuan's violent mental activity made her face change color.
The queen hugged her granddaughter and said earnestly: "Little Miaomiao cannot stay in the palace. Others are afraid of seeing it, especially your classmates. They scared them. How can they study in the school?
So be obedient and ask your father to take Xiao Miaomiao back. When you perform well in the school, grandma will let you go back to visit Xiao Miaomiao often."
With all kinds of desires, the queen just didn't let go. Xiao Xuanxuan felt that there was no hope.
At this time, Du Shaoqing also came to the palace again. He was also very curious about what his daughter would perform on the first day of school.
When I heard someone on the way, Du Shaoqing shouted that he had miscalculated. Now the original intention of trying to temper his daughter seemed to be out of reach.
When I heard that the queen asked her to take Xiao Miaomiao back, Du Shaoqing deeply agreed. The combination of daughter and Xiao Miaomiao is typically a fox and a tiger. Without Xiao Miaomiao as a backer, this is a weak little girl, and she is the youngest wherever she goes.
"Mother-in-law, then I will obey the order to bring Xiao Miaomiao back, Xuanxuan will ask you." Du Shaoqing bowed to the queen with a smile.
"Don't worry if you let me go, my child." The queen said with deep meaning.
Xiao Xuanxuan tried to cry and asked Du Shaoqing: "Dad, why don't you take me away together, I'm your dearest baby."
Du Shaoqing hugged his daughter with heartache, and then smiled and said, "Of course, you have always been, but because of this, you need to study in the best school. Hongwenguan is all very powerful children. Didn't you say you should surpass them?
How about when my dad comes to pick you up home? Isn’t my little baby the most powerful one?"
It's over, Xiao Xuanxuan felt that she was cheated. Her father deliberately threw herself to her grandmother. She still remembered what her mother said inadvertently before that when she was taking care of her children, she was very good and would hit people with the other end of a feather duster...
In this way, Du Shaoqing took the big cat home, leaving his daughter to start his school career in the palace again. Du Shaoqing kept guessing along the way, how would this girl in the school behave?
At the same time, in Yongpingfang, an old man was visiting various schools and wandering around for half a day. The old man asked someone to find Du Shaoqing.
After Du Shaoqing heard about the identity of the visitor, he rushed to Yongpingfang without stopping.
It was still in his original office, an old man was drinking tea accompanied by Wu Zhao.
"I don't know that Confucius's offerings are here to come. I'm sorry for the misfortune of the younger generation, Du Shaoqing, is here to welcome you!" Du Shaoqing hurriedly stepped forward to see you.
It turns out that this old man is nothing else, but Kong Yingda, the priest of the Imperial College in the Tang Dynasty, and is a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty.
"Shaoqing doesn't have to be polite. I and Ling Zun Keming Gong were both eighteen scholars of the Old Qin Palace back then. I have a good personal relationship. Just call me uncle." Old Man Kong did not hold an air.
Du Shaoqing took the teapot from Wu Zhao's hand, called Uncle Kong, and then added tea to the other party. The two sat opposite each other, and Wu Zhao automatically retreated.
"Young nephew, you built these thunderous methods with these thunderous methods. This is really a rare big deal in ancient times. I have been watching this day. Your school is not good or not!" Kong Yingda said.
"Please make it clear to Uncle Kong." Du Shaoqing asked.
"According to your way of building a school, if books can keep up, it will not take many years. The Tang Dynasty, whether in cities or in the people, should be able to build such a school. It can be said that it is not far from the ambition of everyone in the world having books to read.
If you can have a way to realize the ambition of the ancestors of sages to educate all the people, your nephew has great merits. I dare to say that everyone in the world will accept it.”
Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Uncle, don't praise me, just talk about shortcomings."
"The bad thing is that it is too hasty. You have also seen that within the Tang Dynasty, you, or you and I have no opponents.
Although this method is good, it also gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the wrong time, so that we can take a step faster. If we don’t say it well, we will waste all our efforts, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty, and even the country will be a big problem." Kong Yingda said worriedly.
Du Shaoqing laughed, "My uncle is so serious, how many people in the world are? No matter how capable they are, how many schools can they personally contribute money and effort to build? At least we will have enough time.
Moreover, the purpose of the juniors in establishing schools has never been considered. It is because the grassroots officials of our Tang Dynasty are too urgent and it is time to quickly add scholars to enrich officials at all levels. At this time, I am afraid that any battle will be abandoned for the time being."
Looking at Du Shaoqing's upright look, Kong Yingda seemed to have seen the person who was planning in the Qin King's Mansion back then. He was also so decisive, and often as expected, he hit the key points.
Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son, and King Keming has a successor!
Kong Yingda picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, then asked as if he was taking the school entrance exam: "What are your countermeasures for the construction of schools in various places now? You are known as the number one talented man in the Tang Dynasty. If I don't believe it, you can't see through the benefits and interests."
Du Shaoqing smiled lightly, "They are also people of the Tang Dynasty. It is a good thing that they can open schools everywhere in the Tang Dynasty to help the people."
"You boy, you can't trust me, can you hide your weaknesses from me?
The Tang Dynasty followed the former Sui Dynasty and launched a statute to win scholars, in order to break the deadlock in which aristocratic families controlled official positions and monopolized the government.
Today, if scholars are allowed to all officials at all levels, it is not that scholars are not enough, but that they are still rich, but they cannot do so. Why? Because 90% of scholars are from those families.
Seventy percent of the officials are theirs. If this number becomes 90%, I am afraid that the world will change its surname at any time, and the poor people in the world will never have a chance to make a comeback.
You have also participated in three scientific tests and should be able to understand the hardships in it.”
Kong Yingda scolded Du Shaoqing in dissatisfaction, and at the same time pointed out the key chronic diseases.
Du Shaoqing suddenly laughed, added tea to the other party, and comforted him, "Don't be excited, they are running schools everywhere and opening schools like us."
Our book and paper are all made and printed by ourselves, and are cheap, so there is no pressure at all.
The other party lost money to build schools everywhere. In order to follow our example, every student used new books and handwritten textbooks they used for teaching at a high price. How big a scene can this method be spread out?
Even if they are willing to pay, how long can they spend with us? Even if they have a big family and a big business, can they afford it?"
When Kong Yingda heard this, she woke up instantly and stared at Du Shaoqing in disbelief. After a long time, she said, "Are you really only in your twenties? If you didn't see it with your own eyes, I would have thought you were reincarnated by Mr. Keming.
It seems that you guys have expected this a long time ago. Wouldn't the other party fall into your trap now?
As your school becomes more and more open, they will also open it. If you continue for a long time, it will probably cost them a lot of manpower and material resources. The gain will not be worth the cost, and they may be able to drag them down.
God, did you really think of such a trick?”
The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more shocked. Old Man Kong was no longer calm. He wanted to visit the school and give some suggestions and advice to the younger generation, but he didn't expect that he could hear such a big secret, which was so terrible.
Du Shaoqing waved his hand quickly and said, "How could it be?
My younger generation said that the original intention of running the school was because the grassroots officials of the court were too lacking, but I never thought about designing others. And I didn’t know that they were so willing to invest their capital and invested so much in order to seize the opportunity.
So sometimes it is really - the plan does not change quickly, and the surprises come and people are caught off guard.
If you hadn't always pointed out this, my nephew would have thought that they seemed to be destroying themselves."
Is this really the case? Du Shaoqing said it casually and casually, but Kong Yingda absolutely doesn't believe that such a clever strategy would be the enemy's wrong chess?
After thinking for a while, Kong Yingda said in a deep voice: "But the main link of your method is papermaking and printing. You must be careful to keep these two secrets. Once you lose it, the opponent will instantly turn danger into safety and safety."
Du Shaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how you say it, you are a well-known scholar, why do you always think about calculating others?
These two secrets cannot be revealed. Just give us five years of breathing time, which is enough to crush us.
Unfortunately, it would be good to be able to keep it for a year, so we should not think about calculating others and just be good at helping the people and enlightening them.
After the people become wise, they will naturally not only remember the kindness of each family. Only truly wise people know the right and wrong. You are always worried."
Compared with this calm and gentle boy, Kong Yingda also felt that his great scholar was a little dark and careless, so he laughed and scolded: "It seems that I am really old. I can't resist it when I meet a boy like you.
Mr. Keming is such a blessing! Fortunately, you were born in the Du family, which is also a blessing for me in the Tang Dynasty.”
Speaking of which, this is the first time Kong Yingda has contacted Du Shaoqing in private. He has been listening to his friend Yu Shinan praise this young man, but he didn't expect to get along with him before he realized that it was indeed extraordinary.
Kong Yingda did not continue to worry about how to deal with the schooling of those aristocratic families, because he saw a key point, that is, Du Shaoqing had a simple idea, which made his opponent hurriedly resist and caught him off guard. What if this kid took it seriously?
Moreover, Your Majesty is the best at employing people today, so he must have seen this a long time ago. He will use his son-in-law. I am afraid he will no longer have to worry about these things.
Thinking of this, Kong Yingda really felt that these people were old.
"I see that the arithmetics taught in your school are very unique. I heard that you did not hide your own personal information, and I specially taught the arithmetics officials of the Ministry of Revenue. I wonder if I could also set up a lecture hall in the Imperial College to teach this?"
Without thinking, Du Shaoqing was unable to ask for it. New arithmetic is ready to be popular all over the country. Of course, it would be better if someone was willing to learn it. The Imperial College is the first institution of the Tang Dynasty. With this momentum, new arithmetic will be even more popular.
The two had a great time talking, but they didn't know that the five surnames and seven hopes in their discussions were indeed as Kong Yingda said. They encountered a problem at the beginning of opening the school, that is, they had to spend too much money on each person and a set of books.
Du Shaoqing's school implemented a free book use strategy, so Wuxian Qiwang did not dare to charge books for running schools, and once they were charged, many people could not afford it.
But if you want to ensure that you can run schools with the court in advance to seize the source of students, you must recruit as many students as possible. This seems to be a dead end, because you can only have as many students as you have.
