But if it hadn't been for Li Sheng, perhaps it would have taken the Tang Dynasty to know how vast, cruel, and dangerous the world was.
And just after embarking on this exciting "Adventure of the Tang Empire", Li Sheng also found a land for the Tang Dynasty where he could avoid risks, America.
As well as the means to survive the danger safely, all the things so far, especially... this time, are the magical strategies to change the entire political structure of China.
This made Li Er sigh.
Li Sheng has been very low-key up to now. He does not come to court or make friends with relatives and friends. He just goes his own way.
But even though Li Sheng keeps a low profile, the legends in the world are about him!
"I should be satisfied with having a son like this..."
For some reason, Li Er inexplicably remembered many descriptions of "Nirvana" in Buddhist scriptures. Although he was in the prime of life, when he thought of Li Sheng at this moment, he couldn't help but feel... mentally, he was already in the state of Nirvana, complete and without worries.
.
After sending Li Junxian away, Li Er also looked at Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling again.
"Okay, let's talk about this reform of culture and education now, shall we?"
…
After talking with Wei Zheng and others, Li Er felt more and more that his kid, Li Sheng, was a mastermind, because...
While talking, he remembered that Li Sheng seemed to have pointed out Changsun Chong before, and then Changsun Chong, a naughty boy, also published a bunch of "journals" and "newspapers" on his own - the prefectures and counties around Lingzhou are so lively, this
The naughty kid might also have some merit.
Li Sheng's understanding and views on culture and education were naturally passed on to Chang Sun Chong. Li Er also read some newspapers and periodicals published by Chang Sun Chong.
In short, after Li Er, Wei Zheng and others talked for a while, there was actually... no disagreement at all.
How could one emperor and three famous ministers have no disagreements about such a big matter?
The reason is very simple, the idea...
Li Sheng had given it a few days ago. The key is decentralization and making the academy bloom everywhere. As for the specific details, Chang Sun Chong has published them in a lot of newspapers and periodicals!
I don’t know if I don’t talk about it, but when I talk about it, I find that everything is ready-made. It feels so good...
Li Er, Wei Zheng and the others talked in the Ganlu Hall for a long time, and finally came to a consensus that they were just like a child, and the teacher had arranged all the complicated and important things clearly...
But in this case, then...whatever, anyway, the problem of what the court should do next is solved.
Everyone got up and quickly started doing their own business, and time flew by.
It was the seventh year of Zhenguan, and many years had passed since the encounter with Li Sheng at the end of the first year of Zhenguan.
It was...many years later, a warm and bright summer.
…
Li Junxian took the fleet and set off quietly, quietly started to move, quietly...
Leaving the seaport, almost keeping pace with Ma Zhou, who was a sincere volunteer, heading towards a road that had never been imagined before in the land of China.
Of course, this is not without imagination. The invincible Qin Shihuang also sent men and horses eastward across the ocean.
This story was regarded in later generations as one of the evidences of Qin Shihuang's great desire for power, and was also used to attack the first emperor for being so whimsical that even life and the sea were "prefectures and counties".
But... there are also a very small number of researchers who believe that Qin Shihuang's purpose may be to expand overseas territories?...
There is no way to verify it, but Li Junxian and Ma Zhou, excluding Li Sheng, the two most outstanding young men in the Tang Dynasty, have quietly set sail for overseas.
Real greatness is a staggering journey towards death. If you are living towards death, why should you tell the world about it?...
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Er and his court were also busy with their own business.
Young people are very good, young people want to conquer the sea, young people want to make great achievements, which is good. However, the new problem of Datang now is that there are too many outstanding young people...
In this case, as a court, of course you have to find things for them to do. You can show your ambitions and I can sleep peacefully. This is the social contract. And there is news that the court wants to promote culture, education, and industry...
Soon, it spread like wildfire and spread quietly throughout the world.
Yes, including this news and the meme that Li Sheng spread in the tavern in Hangzhou, all the taverns and restaurants in the Tang Dynasty have ushered in this year.
Wave business climax.
Because this is absolutely great news for all merchants!
Because there is no doubt that this trend will continue.
In the next step, the life of the merchants in the country will undoubtedly be easier, and this is not the point. The point is... for the merchants, the court has clearly stated that it will support industry, so even if life will not be easier, it will definitely not
It will be even worse - in other words, the profits that everyone has saved through industry and sea trade can continue to be kept in their pockets.
And this is undoubtedly an exciting thing, because many places in the Tang Dynasty really have no soil at all to develop any industry, build factories, purchase blast furnaces, as well as coal kilns and screening processes, and finally
The profitable textile industry also needs machines, all of which are real materials and need to be traveled again and again.
Of course, the benefits are worth it.
But of course, as merchants... Since the Qin Dynasty, many merchants have had a fear of the imperial court. After all, Han Feizi's famous poem "Five Worms" killed merchants as a social group.
But now, the merchants are really confident and bold.
And at the same time...
The news of the expansion of the academy makes China's maritime merchants even more excited, because it means that more powerful intellectuals will join industry and maritime trade, and this great tide of industry and maritime trade will inevitably reach greater heights.
The future is bright.
but……
In this great tide, some people are happy and some are worried.
Although he came from Lingzhou College, Chengxi College in Chang'an, his future income will definitely be high, but for many students, this is...
Practicing Li Sheng's art of creation still comes at the cost of giving up being an official. If it weren't for the attractive prices offered by the maritime merchants, there wouldn't actually be that many students willing to enter Lingzhou College and Chengxi College.
And now, the imperial court wants to build more colleges, and the situation is even more worrying, because...
More colleges means more people of the same kind.
People who are of the same kind will not necessarily sympathize with each other. In the human world, it is normal for people who work in the same industry to be enemies.
The emergence of more competitors means that it becomes more difficult to "stand out".
Under such pressure, there are naturally undercurrents surging in the two major colleges and academies...
