Chapter 95 Apologizing (1)

"The imperial court has newly promulgated a decree that children who reach the age need to go to school, and some land rent can be exempted, brother, are you not tempted by such a good thing?" Li Chengqian asked.

In the early Tang Dynasty, on the basis of the implementation of the land equalization system, a tax system was implemented to collect grain, cloth and corvee——zuyong modulation.

Rent-yong adjustment regulations: All households with equal land, no matter how much land is allocated to their families, must pay a fixed amount of taxes and take certain corvees in accordance with Ding.

And in February of the second year of Wude, it was stipulated that every dina rents two stones, two Zhangs of silk, and three taels of cotton, and serves [-] days of corvee every year.

In order to allow more poor and poor children to go to school with peace of mind, the first decree promulgated by Li Chengqian was to reduce taxes.

Rent of two shi, two zhangs of silk, and three taels of cotton for every Ding paid. After [-] days of corvee service, it will be changed to rent one stone and five buckets, one zhang and five chi of silk, and two taels of cotton, and the rest will remain unchanged.

This decree is only used for poor and poor children, and the family members are not included in this list, in order to prevent the family members from continuing to grow bigger.

Of course, aristocratic families have their own schools, and there is no need to go to a school run by the imperial court to compete with a group of low-status people.

That's really cheap.

Li Chengqian just wanted to use these benefits to persuade the male owner to let their children go to school.

It's a pity! Li Chengqian still underestimated the short-sightedness of the hero, he only cares about the benefits that can be obtained right now.

He doesn't care at all about the future development of his children, what knowledge changes fate, and learning makes the future.

For him who was born as a farmer, it was a kind of nonsense. As a farmer, he should honestly plan food in the field instead of thinking about some unrealistic things.

I don't even look at my identity, and I try to change my destiny through reading, it's really wishful thinking.

For a future with uncertain factors, he pays more attention to the present reality.

"My lord, don't lie to me. If it weren't for the high-ranking nobles, where would I have such a life, I'd better keep my feet on the ground." The host said.

In this society with strict family hierarchy, it is quite normal for the male owner to have such thoughts. After all, this is the true portrayal of this era.

After all, Li Chengqian still underestimated the seriousness of this social class division.

What class does what class does, this has been deeply imprinted in their bones.

Without strong external factors to break the existing pattern, relying on policies and persuasion, it is undoubtedly difficult for Li Chengqian to achieve his inner goal.

"I still have something to do at home, so I won't bother you!"

Li Chengqian spent a long time, seeing that he still couldn't convince the short-sighted and stubborn male master, he had no choice but to leave.

"Then I'll see you off, Young Master!" The host stood up and sent Li Chengqian outside the house.

Cheng Wuting, who was waiting outside, greeted him immediately.

"Master!"

"Come on, let's go back."

Two guards opened the way in front, Cheng Wuting and others followed Li Chengqian and returned to the city.

When everyone returned to the inn, Cheng Wuting and Long Zhi followed Li Chengqian into the room.

On the way back, Li Chengqian kept thinking about the solution.

Now Li Chengqian has decided, since it is not enough to use soft ones, then use hard ones.

Aren't they unwilling to let their children go to school?Then force them to send their children to school.

Just like the modern nine-year obligation, it contains the basic characteristics of compulsory, free, popular and secular.

If they still implement it, they will double the tax on the basis of the original tax to see if they dare to be disobedient.

As long as they are willing to carry out educational work, the tax that should be reduced or exempted will still be exempted.

Not only that, Li Chengqian also planned to set up a scholarship system in the school at that time to reward students with some practical benefits.

Only in this way can the students have the motivation to struggle.

Li Chengqian planned to start this matter after returning to Chang'an, and implement it as soon as possible.

With a general direction, there are still many details that need to be discussed carefully before a feasible plan can be produced.

Of course, only the plan is far from enough, it must be adjusted with actual actions, and finally a complete and feasible system can be produced.

No matter how good the plan is, if it is not put into action, it is just a piece of paper.

"Master!" The guard's voice came from outside the room, interrupting Li Chengqian's thoughts.

Li Chengqian frowned, because the guard suddenly interrupted his train of thought and said, "What's the matter?"

"The second brother said that Wang Xu, the governor of Fangzhou, came to visit." The voice of the guard outside the door came again.

snort!
What kind of visit, I am afraid that he is here to uphold justice for his son, but in fact he is here to trouble him, the visit is just a nice excuse.

Let's see what the governor will do first. If he dares to shield his dandy son, don't blame the prince for turning his face.

The governor Wang remembered the prince, but the prince might not remember the governor Wang.

During the court meeting, although Li Chengqian met Wang Cishi, it was just a casual encounter.

At that time, so many provincial governors came to Beijing to participate in the Great Court Meeting, how could Li Chengqian remember so many people, he had already forgotten this Fangzhou Governor Wang Xu to the brim.

"Please come in!" Li Chengqian said lightly.

"No!" The guard outside the door responded, and turned to Xiaoer and said, "Please meet Wang Shishi upstairs!"

"Hey! I'm going to ask the assassin to go upstairs." After saying that, Xiao Er turned around and went downstairs, but was very shocked in his heart!
Curious about the identity of the guest who lives here, and actually asked the governor to meet him in person, that is the governor of a state!

It can't be that the younger brother has no knowledge, the biggest official he has ever seen is the governor of Fangzhou, and he still looks from a distance.

Xiao Er went downstairs, came to Wang Xu and bowed: "Wang Cishi, the guests upstairs invite you to go upstairs and talk."

"What? That kid didn't come down to greet us, but let us go up, who does he think he is!

Don't even look at where this is, it's too shameful to dare to show off in front of me, Aye, you go and call him down. "

Before Wang Cishi spoke, Wang Gongzi quit!Originally, Wang Cishi didn't want to avenge him, but he forced him to bring him here to apologize to that troublemaker.

Our prince is already full of grievances, and now that unscrupulous person dares to put on airs, this is really unbearable.

The little second brother looked perplexed, not knowing what to do.

The governor Wang at the side was startled, and hastily covered Wang Gou's mouth with his hand to prevent him from talking nonsense.

Damn it, you can talk nonsense, if the crown prince hears this, then our family will be ruined.

Governor Wang is suffering!

If he couldn't reveal the identity of the prince, he would have told his son everything, and he wouldn't let him talk nonsense.

The prince whose mouth was covered was speechless and could only make a hum.

The prince's heart collapsed, and he roared in his heart: Ah Ye! Am I your own?

"Please trouble the little brother to lead the way, my father and son are going to see the distinguished guest right now." Wang Cishi said.

"Hey! Inspector Wang, please follow me!" Xiaoer said, then turned and walked upstairs, followed by Wang Xu and his son.
