Chapter 192 Datang Technical School
Kong Yingda was left angry.
He really couldn't stand Li Mu's fingers. It had nothing to do with being arrogant, but it was professional. He couldn't help but get angry.
Li Mu could point fingers on anything, but Kong Yingda could not accept it in education. Because his surname was Kong, and since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was synonymous with education. The Kong family was the one who held the bull. Throughout the dynasties, the descendants of Confucius were the benchmarks of education.
As the pillar of the Kong family's generation, Kong Yingda may have made mistakes today, but he must not accept the criticism of Li Mu, a yellow-mouthed child.
No more meals!
Kong Yingda said angrily and left, and before leaving, he put down a harsh word. If Li Mu really had an article tomorrow and had a reasonable and well-founded statement, Kong Yingda would resign from the position of priest of the Imperial College and give it to Li Mu. He would no longer serve as the prince's army, but also give it to Li Mu.
This is something that must be taken seriously, after all, he is the prince's teacher.
From this we can see that Lao Kong is also a person with a temper.
Li Mu just smiled and seemed to take it seriously. Eunuch Gao arrived, and after the two brothers Li Shimin, Li Mu, and Li Chengqian used it, the two brothers said goodbye and left. Li Mu originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and follow him, but Li Shimin glared at him and had to stay obediently.
After removing the leftovers, Li Mu knelt down properly, looking at his knees, looking at his knees, looking like "I'm very honest."
Li Shimin looked at him. If it weren't for his illness, Li Shimin really wanted to punish him once, wouldn't this bastard save people some attention? It was either this or that matter, and there was no time to stop!
Li Shimin pressed his anger and said, "Li Mu, you kid haven't done anything bad recently, right?"
"Ah?" Li Mu looked up blankly and said in a daze: "Your Majesty, I have not had any fault recently? Not only recently, I have always been confident in doing things... Has anyone falsely accused me? I know that when I learned that I was sick, I would add a fire and ask for my life. They are going to kill people!"
As he said that, Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since that's the case, I'm going to give my life to them!!"
"Stop!" Li Shimin slapped the table and said, "Li Mu, you dare to shout and kill me in front of me. Do you still take me seriously?"
Li Mu's eyes were red and he was extremely aggrieved, saying, "Your Majesty, I have been hit by the bad news of brain disease recently. I feel that my life is already boring, who else can I offend? Who is it? It's so vicious, I'm so angry that I'm talking bad about you in front of Your Majesty!"
Seeing Li Mu's appearance, Li Shimin's heart softened, and sighed, "It's a censor who wrote a letter to you. I have already scolded you in the court today, so you don't have to take it seriously. I also believe in you and will definitely not do anything to force the robbery of a civilian woman."
"Ah? Some people say that the minister forced the robbery of the people?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "You said you had kidnapped Wei Zheng's daughter."
Li Mu felt guilty, but his expression looked amused and laughed, and said, "Your Majesty, what a nonsense! I am with Wei Zheng, what is the same as the power of water and fire. What should I do for him to kidnap his daughter? The truth of this matter is easy to find out. Your Majesty just asks Wei Zheng."
"Today, in the court, I asked Wei Zheng in front of the censor. Wei Zheng said that there was no such thing, and the censor said something else. He was also refuted by Fu Ji and others. Now it is fine, let it pass, don't take it to heart."
In today's court, the main topic was the memorial of the censor named Lu Zhilin. The three charges of impeaching Li Mu, "using money for fun, stealing national wealth, and teasing civilian women." The first one was rejected by Li Shimin because the money was earned by Li Mu through legal means, and how to spend it is his business, others have no right to blame. The latter two items, stealing national wealth, were directly refuted by Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui. Now both companies have invested a large amount of money in the so-called "stealing national wealth" project. If something happens to the two companies, the Zhang Sun family and the Wang family in Taiyuan, together with the two major forces behind them, will suffer huge losses.
Moreover, Lu Zhilin's origin also made Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui very afraid. Lu Zhilin was born into a Shandong gentry, and the two major companies had nothing to do with the Shandong gentry. At this time, a censor from a Shandong gentry jumped out to deny the two major companies, and they had to think that this was a conspiracy of the Shandong gentry.
Therefore, the two of them will definitely do their best to refute. One is the Minister of Rites and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, both of whom are highly powerful. Moreover, there are many officials in each department under their command, and Lu Zhilin has caused the public to anger. The two big bosses jumped out, and then countless officials started the report, saying and saying something, Lu Zhilin was so angry that he scolded him.
The last one teased the girl, it would be easier to deal with it. Li Shimin directly asked Wei Zheng that Wei Zheng did not do anything falsely, and did not explain too much about the matter. He said that his daughter was at home and he had no idea about it. Then he returned to the court to stand still and said nothing.
Seeing Wei Zheng like this, Lu Zhilin knew that he was protecting his daughter's reputation and could not say anything else. A farce ended here.
Lu Zhilin was fined for half a year for false accusation, and settled the salary.
Of course, there is no need to talk to Li Mu in such detail. Li Shimin knew Li Mu's temper and was worried that after he knew it, he would get angry and seek revenge. If something happened, it would be difficult for him, the emperor, to do it. It would be better not to mention it. It would be better to do less than more things.
Seeing that Li Mu wanted to ask, Li Shimin quickly changed the topic and said, "I won't talk about this. Li Mu, were you too arrogant just now? Even if Kong Yingda had something wrong, he couldn't understand the way of being a teacher like you said, right? After all, he has taught for decades and has disciples all over the world. If you don't even have a disciple, just teach him how to be a teacher, isn't this a bit too much?"
Li Mu said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, you can't judge a person's ability by being suspicious. Just look at the facts. I will write an article when I go home today and report tomorrow. Whether I have a reason or not will be a public opinion. I believe that I will not lose."
Li Shimin laughed in silence and said, "I can't tell, you still have any research on teaching and educating people?"
Li Shimin was a joke, but Li Mu was serious and said, "Your Majesty, I have indeed studied it. Because I plan to prepare a college for the next New Year."
"College?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "It's like Chongwenguan and Hongwenguan? There is no need for this. Now there is the Imperial College, Chongwenguan and Hongwenguan. It's enough. If you build another college, it's probably difficult for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to pay for it."
The implication is that if you want to do it, you have to get the money yourself. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money and the treasury cannot be paid.
How could Li Mu not know Li Shimin's attitude? He did not want the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the treasury to pay the money. "Your Majesty, I am not going to run a college like Chongwenguan or Hongwenguan. The college I want to run is to train craftsmen. Now the reform of the Ministry of Work has laid the foundation. But if I want to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, I must have a group of craftsmen with outstanding skills. Now the craftsmen of the Ministry of Work are not enough, and the quality is also uneven. I accepted a group of war orphans, and now I have assigned my master to teach them, but it is not a long-term solution. If I want to last, I think I should establish a college. The name I have already thought of, it is called the Tang Vocational and Technical College, which can be called the "Tang Technical School" for short, which specializes in cultivating professional and technical talents. Such as carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, stonemasons, etc., unified standards and unified assessments, and cultivate high-level craftsman talents to serve the construction of our Tang Dynasty. This is the long-term solution!"
"Datang Technical School..." Li Shimin murmured this name and said, "I'm afraid it costs a lot, right?"
"I don't need a penny from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, nor will I pay it from the treasury. I plan to let the Ministry of Works earn it on its own. If it is not enough, I will pay it on its own, as long as His Majesty supports me."
When he heard that he didn't have money, Li Shimin immediately agreed. Anyway, the Ministry of Works had already handed over to Li Mu, so no matter how he tinkered with it, he couldn't tinker, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the treasury had no losses. He tinkered with it, and the court made profits. The business that was stable and profitable would not be done by a fool.
Thinking of the treasury, Li Shimin suddenly remembered a series of things he had heard of these days and asked: "I heard from the auxiliary machine that day that you hid all the subscription money you received in the ice cellar of the Ministry of Works. I also made a thing called "bank" and hung a "Renxian Banner". What are you doing? Why don't you come to discuss it with me?"
Li Mu hurriedly said, "I am here today to report to Your Majesty this."
"Really?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why don't I believe it?"
Li Mu thought it was so dangerous, thanks to having a chat with Queen Changsun for a while, otherwise he wouldn't know how to lie at this time.
"Your Majesty, I entered the palace early today and went to see the queen first. I have already talked with the queen about the treasury. If your Majesty does not believe what I say, you can ask the queen. The queen will never help me deceive you, it is enough to verify what I say."
Hearing this, Li Shimin believed it. Li Mu said nothing badly. Empress Changsun would not help Li Mu lie to him. She smiled and said, "I am just joking with you. Let me tell you, what's going on?"
Li Mu told Li Shimin about the loan. When he first heard the word "loan", Li Shimin's reaction was exactly the same as that of Empress Changsun. But after listening to Li Mu's explanation, Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He suddenly realized that this method was feasible. And using the money from a family to earn interest from a family, this method of making money made him feel very comfortable.
"Okay!" Li Shimin said three times, patted Li Mu on the shoulder intimately, and said, "Li Mu, you are indeed worthy of being my Qilin. I am very pleased that such a brilliant plan can be thought of by you. I will let you do it, I will be your shield!"
