The day after the martial arts conference.

The heads of the three families of the Cui family of Boling, Zheng family of Xingyang, and Wang family of Taiyuan secretly went to Shuofang and stayed in Shuofang for about half a day. Twenty airships at the air station set sail almost at the same time and flew eastward.

The huge formation attracted many people, and the various forces' eyes on Shuofang quickly used various channels to spread the news.

At the same time, Chang'an was also in a turbulent state.

The Yu family and Ouyang family gathered all the members of the family to gather in Pingkangfang, and the Shuofang Court Guarding Team dispatched a team of 200 people to be responsible for the closed guard.

As the New Year was over, the abnormal behavior of these two families and the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce immediately attracted the attention of many forces.

Just when many people are talking about this.

The Changsun family joined forces with the Hongnong Yang family and the Lanling Xiao family to acquire land in the Guanzhong area. Even if they cannot buy it, they still used various relationships to sign a long-term rental contract with the merchants.

A series of abnormal behaviors remind people of Xi Yunfei's communications department plan.

Aren’t these families and forces the top ten winners of the martial arts conference?

Now, the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce, which is the only member of the Li Tang royal family and Xi Yunfei, has no action.

Just as everyone is talking about it.

Li Shimin released a major news at the court meeting.

Chang'an City, a teahouse in the West City.

As the end of the year approaches, the teahouse business is not only no longer deserted, but it is becoming more and more lively.

The old man who was telling the story of the lecturer in the classroom tapped the awakening wood from time to time, and his quick mouth and wonderful words attracted cheers from the classroom.

"...Okay, today's The Legend of the Condor Heroes will talk about this first. I have to inform the government of the yamen and have something to say to everyone."

The old man put down the teacup and looked at the listeners in the hall with a smile.

Some people were curious: "Is there any other decree in the court? Is it necessary to help everyone find a wife?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he suddenly laughed in the hall.

A few days ago, Li Shimin's order of urging marriage came down, which caused complaints from the public that many girls who were thieves at the age of fourteen were about to be urging them to get married. Some local officials had stronger execution ability and even made random matches, causing many tragedies to happen.

Now that I heard that there is something wrong again, some people naturally come forward to make a joke.

The old man glanced at the man, then smiled and said, "Wang Ermazi, don't behave well if you get a bargain. If I remember correctly, you have five children in your family, three women and two men, right?"

The man, Wang Ermazi, was stunned for a moment and nodded and responded, "So what? My eldest girl is only 11 this year? The government can't take care of my family? Dalang is only nine years old this year. You can't just ask him to get married and have children, right? The little bird hasn't even opened his eyes yet."

"Hahaha..." This man spoke with a little ruffian?       It made everyone here laugh.

The old man also laughed, then picked up the awakening wood and knocked it on it? “Then I want to congratulate you.”

Wang Ermazi was stunned when he heard this: "Congratulations on what I did?"

The old man laughed and said, "In my opinion, this time is a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

I saw an apprentice next to him pick up a notice from his hand.

"Are there anyone here who recognizes words? There are also people who cannot recognize words? I will talk to you in a unified manner."

"The notice said that starting from August next year, all prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty will need to open primary school halls? All children aged six to twelve? Both men and women can enter school. The primary school hall does not charge any miscellaneous tuition fees and tuition fees, and provides all school children with free meals a day. This is one of them!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the entire teahouse could almost hear the needle.

Even the old shopkeeper at the counter stopped the abacus in his hand? He looked up at the old man on the platform with an incredible look on his face.

"Free teaching, and free three meals a day? Is this going to help us raise children for free?"

The nervous Wang Ermazi was the first to react, and then he calculated that all five children in the family seemed to be able to enter school, and suddenly the face of Mazi smiled like a sunflower.

The old man nodded slightly? Pointed to the second entry on the notice and said, "Don't be anxious, kid? There are more things to be happier."

Wang Ermazi was illiterate? Hearing this, he hurriedly urged the old man: "Speak quickly, talk quickly, what else is there?"

The old man patted the notice and said, "This second article says that all children over the age of twelve can go to middle school for further study, regardless of gender. As for what they learn, the students choose themselves."

"Second school?" The old shopkeeper at the counter had already walked closer at some point. He had two grandchildren at home, one eleven and the other twelve. By August next year, he just happened to agree with the standards for entering the middle school.

The old man nodded at him and said, "Yes, the middle school has been in total for three years, and it is also free to provide food and accommodation. However, the middle school is only open in six major cities, namely Shuofang, Chang'an, Dingxiang, Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Yizhou."

The old shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he said, "Since it's food and accommodation, it doesn't matter where it is opened. But what is the middle school learning? Is it also a path to the imperial examination?"

When the old man heard this, he shook his head: "I didn't explain it in detail, but this third article may give you the answer."

The old man took the announcement, took a look, and said, "The third article says that after graduating from middle school, students can choose their careers freely, or they can arrange their destinations by the middle school tutors based on the assessment scores. One of them is the government offices of each state."

"really?"

This time, I didn’t know that it was the old shopkeeper, but many listeners in the hall suddenly stood up.

The old man nodded: "Black and black text, is there any fake? Let's take a look. Is this the official seal of Jingzhao Prefecture?!"

Wang Ermazi had no good impression of the court, but he frowned and shouted, "Is there any good place besides being an official?"

The old man shook his head helplessly at him and said with a hilarious look: "You kid, I really don't know if it's really a mess or a fake one... Of course there are good places to go, look here: those with excellent performance in middle schools can join the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce, with annual salary ranging from 50 yuan, and housing and various subsidies."

"More, more, how much? Hardware... How much is hardware?" Wang Ermazi waved his fingers and couldn't count them.

The old shopkeeper on the side made a calculation and said with envy: "One gold is the past ten coins of copper coins, the hardware is fifty coins, and the annual salary is more than twice as much as that of the old man."

The old man smiled and said, "This is just the minimum standard. Didn't you pay attention to it? Hardware can range from fifty gold. In other words, if you really perform well, you can have an annual salary of fifty gold. That is to say, it is more than the annual income of your teahouse!"

The guests here looked at each other. There were only a dozen tables in this small teahouse. In the past year, it had earned two or three hundred coins of copper coins. Now Chang'an City is much more lively than in the past. A teahouse of this size can earn at least four hundred coins of copper coins a year.

"Anyway, after you go back, you think about it yourself. The notice said that this is called nine years of compulsory education. It means that the court pays to help you raise children. After reading nine years of books, you will also assign things to do. I wonder if you are moved or not. Anyway, my old man will definitely let his grandson go to school next year, hahaha..."
