Chapter 451 Ups and downs
Youdao is that studying is the springboard for poor families to turn over and enter the upper class.
This springboard is not in everyone's hands.
But in the hands of the aristocratic family.
The aristocratic family almost monopolized the resources of scholars.
This is actually a very terrible thing.
The children of poor people can only be poor people.
But the children of aristocratic families can study and become officials.
Moreover, the intermarriage of aristocratic families is almost separated from the poor people.
This kind of monopoly is not something that no one wants to break. Yang Guang wanted to do this, so he had the imperial examination.
Li Shimin wanted to do this, too.
Yang Guang's efforts seem to be a drop in the bucket.
In front of Li Shimin, the mountain of the aristocratic family is right in front of him. It is not so easy to shake it.
Ordinary people can't even think about literacy. Their children have to do their best to survive from birth.
They don't have any extra time to read and read.
The rich can have more time to study, study, and make friends with all kinds of people to pave the way for their future career.
Conversely, when the rich children start to read and read at the age of five or six.
Children from poor families have to wait until they are ten years old to start elementary school.
This is a kind of despair from the top. No matter how hard the poor children work, studying hard is not as knowledgeable as the children of aristocratic families.
Because it is not equal from the starting line.
In this aristocratic family monopoly, it is better to give up earlier than to work hard for the poor family.
This is a kind of despair, and this kind of despair exists innately.
It cannot be broken by children from poor families.
Dahu was grilling lamb skewers on the side, and Li Zheng smelled the fragrance of lamb skewers.
I continued to think in my heart that only by breaking the barriers of aristocratic families can the Tang Dynasty have more scholars.
Only then can Li Shimin get more resources for scholars.
Better consolidate his own imperial power.
They are all their own interests.
Looking at Duan Lun in front of him, Li Zheng said, "Do you eat mutton skewers?"
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday and now. I've been hungry when I smelled the mutton skewers. However, after eating mutton on the grassland for so long, I feel that my stomach can't stand it.
Li Zheng handed the mutton skewers to Duan Lun and said, "Eat some."
After taking the mutton skewers, Duan Lun bowed and said, "Thank you for the Chang'an Order."
After taking a bite, Duan Lun asked in surprise: "Why is this mutton skewer..."
"Why is it so weird?"
Duan Lun said: "The taste is pretty good, much better than the mutton on the grassland."
Li Zheng asked Dahu to bring some wine.
After eating wine and drinking meat, Duan Lun felt that most of the injuries on his body had healed.
I was beaten yesterday, and today I can drink and eat meat.
I feel that life is ups and downs too quickly.
Chang'an Ling's thoughts are too difficult to guess.
Li Zheng looked at Duan Lun's expression and said, "Why are you eating meat and still having a sad expression on your face? Isn't it delicious?"
Duan Lun poured a sip of wine and said, "The roasted mutton here is delicious. I don't know anything about Chang'an Ling. The mutton on the grassland is roasted on fire and eaten. It still contains blood when it is burnt outside and it is not cooked inside."
"If you are slightly better, you can boil it in water, but if you are boiling it in water, you don't even put salt. Chang'an Ling didn't know that the mutton was so stinky that it was so stinky that my stomach was uncomfortable after eating it."
"Now I have such delicious kebabs, the mutton on the grassland is really not something that humans eat." Duan Lun took another bite of the kebab and said, "This is what humans eat."
Li Zheng poured Duan Lun another glass of wine.
Duan Lun took another sip, "Comfortable, I dare to ask why Chang'an Ling's mutton skewers are so delicious."
Dahu brought another handful of grilled lamb skewers and said, "Just sprinkled some chili powder, not much else."
Duan Lun ate the mutton and said, "It's so delicious."
Seeing Duan Lun eating deliciously, Li Zheng shook his fan and enjoyed the sunshine.
Duan Lun asked curiously: "Chang'an Order, I have something to be confused."
"explain."
"I was beaten up yesterday by Chang'an Order, so why should I drink and eat meat today?"
“Because the weather is good today.”
Duan Lun looked up at the sky, "Chang'an Ling is really profound in his words."
Li Zheng shook his fan and said, "I've eaten and drunk, and I can say what I should say."
Duan Lun bowed and bowed a little and said, "I want to ask the Chang'an Order to save my life. I am born in the son of Duan Wenzhen, the Minister of War. My grandfather was Duan Wei, the General of the Cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the founding of the Three Sessions. If the career is hopeless, even if you save your life, you will be ashamed."
"The family is really prominent. You want to save your life, but you don't want to be shamed at home. You want a lot."
Duan Lun hurriedly said: "Chang'an Order has great supernatural powers, and now only Chang'an Order can help you."
Putting down the fan in his hand, Li Zheng whispered: "No matter what, you are doing the errands that Your Majesty now. If you want to live easily, it will be difficult for you to return to glory for your family."
Duan Lun fell silent.
"Although I cannot guarantee to save you, Your Majesty wants to accomplish something now. If you can help Your Majesty do it, it will be easy to say in the future."
"What your Majesty wants to accomplish?"
Li Zheng nodded, "Do you know what His Majesty wants to accomplish?"
Duan Lun thought for a long time and said, "I will definitely not use anything like conquering Tubo, and I am not a good source of leadership to fight."
Li Zheng smiled and said, "Think about it again."
Duan Lun continued to think about what Wang Ding and Li Zheng said yesterday.
"Is it the five surnames?"
“By the way.”
Li Zheng nodded.
Duan Lun smiled bitterly: "The five surnames have been rooted in the Central Plains for a long time, and now they are giants with deeper trees. What can I do to fight against the five surnames?"
Li Zheng sighed and said, "Then you should confess your guilt to His Majesty. Maybe His Majesty will make a fuss."
Duan Lun hurriedly said, "Wang Ding came to Chang'an Order yesterday for the purpose of printing bookshops. The five families of the surnames were reluctant to ask for the secret recipes for printing bookshops. I think the Chang'an Order is also part of Your Majesty's plan."
Li Zheng nodded without refuting.
Duan Lun said again: "I just don't understand. If I really do things according to the words of Chang'an Order, should I do things for Your Majesty or to do things for Chang'an Order?"
Li Zheng sneered: "Are you negotiating conditions with me?"
"I dare not."
"Is there any difference between doing things for me and doing things for His Majesty? Do you think your current situation is qualified to bargain with me?"
Duan Lun fell silent again.
Li Zheng drank tea and said, "I can leave this to others. If you don't want to do it, it's fine. You Duan Lun has a prominent family and your family has such a wide family connection, I guess you have more ways than me. Why ask me for help? You said yes."
