The next day, early in the morning, the light outside the window sprinkled in through the clear glass, sprinkled on Liu Xie's face with a little warmth, allowing Liu Xie to slowly wake up from his deep sleep, and the faint fragrance penetrated into his nose. Lu Lingju's tall but soft body curled up like a kitten. In Liu Xie's arms, there were still some tears on his delicate cheeks, but the expression on his face was a little satisfied.

On the bed, the fallen red flowers bloomed like flowers. Liu Xie moved his arm, pulled the silk quilt up, covering the infinite spring light, and got up and was about to get out of bed.

"Your Majesty, I will serve you to change your clothes." Lu Lingju opened her eyes at some point. Seeing Liu Xie get out of bed, she quickly got up and let the silk quilt slide down her skin as smooth as silk. The old couple is old. Although it is the first time to go to bed, they are not unfamiliar with each other's bodies before that, so there is no need to be shy. Just after a move, the movements can't help but stutter, and the pair of eyebrows frown slightly.

"No need, I will cultivate myself for a few days today. I will ask Yuxiu and Wan'er to come and serve me later. I have to go to court." Liu Xie reached out and pressed her back to the bed, covered her with a silk quilt, and started dressing directly. The skylight outside the window was already bright, and it was not long before the morning court.

"Thank you for your mercy." Lu Lingju obediently placed her body in the quilt, looking at Liu Xie with a blurred look, feeling a little different. It seemed that since last night, she had truly belonged to the man in front of her. A faint smile could not help but hold a corner of her mouth, which had a little more different charm than before.

Liu Xie didn't have time to appreciate these things. Although he was an emperor, since the rules were set, if he could not implement them, what would others think?

After leaving the door, he hurried to the first floor and saw the Qiao sisters having breakfast with Wan'er. Liu Xie waved his hand and signaled that he would come back and eat again, so he hurriedly left.

"Is Your Majesty so busy every day?" Qiao Rong looked at Liu Xie's direction of leaving in confusion. When she was in Nanyang, she always felt that Liu Xie was not too slow to do anything. Why did she go back to Chang'an? She felt like she suddenly became very busy.

"No, it's just that Your Majesty got up late today. He had already gotten up when the rooster crowed." Wan'er smiled.

The Qiao sisters looked at each other and their pretty faces turned red. Needless to say, they knew what was going on, so it was hard to ask again now.

The morning court basically discussed the promotion and salary of the Ministry of Works. After all, this matter is simple, but there are many departments involved in it. The matters that need to be coordinated in the middle also need to be decided in the court, how to promote and how to pay salary. And even if you are promoted, there must be an upper limit.

Seeing the ministers in the court blushing over this matter, Liu Xie shook his head speechlessly. The matter has been decided, but to be fully implemented, I am afraid that the coordination alone will have to be arguing for a month. However, it is difficult for him to make a judgment on this matter. After all, it is related to the interests of each department, so it is best for them to coordinate themselves. This is also an inevitable matter after the big deal.

In the past, the stall was small and everything was fine, and Liu Xie could take care of it. Now, as the imperial court's stall became larger and larger, the benefits involved were more. If you worry about everything as before, Liu Xie would be exhausted to death.

After a quarrel, Liu Xie asked the ministers to take the matter down and discuss it. What he needed was only a result. It was impossible for the court to make these people quarrel endlessly every day.

"Your Majesty, Secretary Jia has been waiting for a long time." After retreating from the court, Liu Xie returned to Chengming Palace. After some exercise, it was almost noon. Wei Zhong trotted to Liu Xie and bowed.

"Let's go!" Liu Xie nodded, took Wei Zhong and went straight to the side hall. Jia Xu had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Liu Xie coming, he quickly got up to greet him.

"No gifts." Liu Xie waved his hand: "It's my fault to be tired of writing and waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty is so serious." Jia Xu shook his head and sat down beside Liu Xie: "I wonder what is the important thing about Your Majesty recruiting me to come today?"

"But it is an important matter, this matter is related to the world." Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Please tell me clearly." Jia Xu sat upright and said with his body.

"Wei Zhong, present the things." Liu Xie nodded to Wei Zhong, and Wei Zhong quickly sent the ten Analects books that had been prepared.

"Wenhe first reads these books, what's the difference?" Liu Xie signaled.

Books like the Analects of Confucius are naturally not unfamiliar to Jia Xu, but these bound books are still relatively avant-garde for people of this era.

Jia Xu opened it curiously and read a book. It was no different except for paper books.

"Continue reading." Liu Xie pointed to other books and said with a smile.

Jia Xu opened the second book, just like the first one, frowned slightly, and after reading it for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and then opened the first book he had read before, compared it, and opened the third book and the fourth book. It was not until he had read the ten books completely, Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie in surprise: "Is this... a rubbing?"

The rubbing uses stone tablets, which are usually only one character. Although there are not many Analects of Confucius, how many stone tablets are needed for this book?

"It's not a rubbing, but a woodblock. This book can be printed in eight hundred volumes in one day!" Liu Xie explained the principle of woodblock printing to Jia Xu lightly and said with a smile.

"Embroidered plate?" Jia Xu savored the fresh noun and smiled: "Your Majesty valued craftsmen at the time. To be honest, I also felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but now it seems that the magical use of this craftsman is really endless!"

The benefits of fine salt, glass, and Han ploughs brought to the court are not low, but in Jia Xu's view, these three things are not as shocking as the woodblock printing technique.

"Wenhe thought how about this woodblock printing?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with a smile and asked.

"As soon as this thing comes out, Your Majesty can win the hearts of poor families in the world." Jia Xu shook his head and sighed. He had a deep understanding of the bumpy road of studying in poor families. Sometimes it is not that he lacks talent, but that he has no way to study and is lucky. When he meets a great scholar with noble character, like Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, he has no distinction in teaching. As long as he is willing to learn, he is willing to teach, it will be a great fortune. But how many such great scholars are there? How many can he teach? For ordinary poor children who are interested in studying, the most difficult thing is not teachers, but books.

Cai Lun has been making paper for many years, but for so many years, the books are still inherited from bamboo paper. Why?

First, there is no convenient tool such as woodblock printing, and second, most books are in the hands of aristocratic families. Even if they want to copy books, they have no way to enter. And even if the aristocratic families are willing to borrow you to copy, but not to mention anything else, a book of the Analects of Confucius will have to copy for a few days, and eight hundred books can be produced in one day. However, it may take two or three years to copy them on ordinary people. Therefore, although the emergence of paper has made more poor scholars, the number of them is limited.

Now, once this woodblock printing technology is released, how can we not let the poor people in the world return to their hearts? Thinking further away, with the big killer weapon of woodblock printing, people in the world are still rushing to learners?

A poor family?

Liu Xie shook his head. Naturally, poor families have to fight for, but not all. The so-called poor families are not really civilians. In today's terms, those landlords are considered poor families in this era, and at the least, they are also rich peasants, and their families still have some family resources.

"I had some ideas before. If I set up a college, I could provide education as long as I was willing to study. The tuition fee was low and even tuition was waived to cultivate more talents for the court." Liu Xie roughly explained the concept of the three learnings.

Jia Xu's brows gradually became solemn. The establishment of the three schools is not just a matter of money. It is hard to think about it. The aristocratic families will definitely interfere, not only in the court, but also in the whole world. Even if Liu Xie founded these three schools in the name of a merchant, it would be easy to say about the rural school. After all, this kind of thing is naturally welcomed by the people. The real problem is in the county school.

First, talents are willing to teach. The court now controls about 200 county towns. According to Liu Xie's philosophy, rural schools are just professors to read and read, while county schools are different. Astronomy, geography, calculating, articles, and categories. A county school must be at least a dozen men. The professors and talents needed for 200 county towns are conservatively estimated to be 3,000. With the current foundation of the court, without the help of aristocratic families, these 3,000 people are not easy to find.

The key to the problem is not establishment, but talents who are willing to teach. Not to mention three thousand, it is difficult for the court to be able to produce three hundred such talents now.

Moreover, the attitude of the aristocratic family has to be considered. You must know that now under Liu Xie’s rule, more than 90% of the officials are from the aristocratic family.

"This matter should be slow, not too rush." ​​After pondering for a while, Jia Xu pondered his words and looked at Liu Xie and said, "One time is too short. I think that this time can be extended to two or even three years, and the court can also make more preparations."

"Preparation?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu and smiled and said, "I just knew that Wenhe must have a clever plan."

"It's not a wonderful plan." Jia Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This matter is too big. You must gather enough talents. Your Majesty should first open your eyes on this matter."

"How to open your eyes?" Liu Xie asked with a smile. The so-called open eyes is to create momentum, but how to create it is a problem. This matter cannot be handled by intelligence agencies.

"I think this woodblock printing technology can be promoted by the princes." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Leave it to the princes?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wonderful."

It seems that it is cheaper for the princes, but when the woodblock printing technology is sent out, the pressure of the aristocratic families in the world will not be on Liu Xie alone, but on all the princes, and the princes have to take it. After all, if they are not promoted under the pressure of the aristocratic families, it will be equivalent to rushing the poor and even a large number of people who are interested in studying to Chang'an. However, if they are implemented, they will have to face the pressure of the aristocratic families with Liu Xie. Although Liu Xie released the interests, this name was left behind. It seems to be at a disadvantage, but it is equivalent to inserting the banner of the imperial court into the territory of the princes in a dignified manner to attract a large number of poor talents for the court. As Jia Xu said, two or three years later, the court can use this matter to gather a large number of talents. Even if all the aristocratic families go on strike, Liu Xie will have enough talents to fill these vacancy. (.)
