Chapter 2313 News from the Queen 2318

The end of the new year is approaching, and there are many universities in the capital.

The palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, revealing a festive atmosphere.

But Jin Ming Emperor Li Yanhao, who was holding the memorial in his hand, couldn't be happy at all. In the imperial study, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Zhang Heng stood in front of Emperor Jinming, although he was young, but his expression was calm and calm.

The newly-promoted Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, within a short period of one year, has become a minister, and is the most popular minister of the emperor in the court.

"In one year, they actually cleaned up the four major families..." Li Yanhao's mouth overflowed with a wry smile, "It was too fast, unexpectedly fast. I thought that the four major families would hold them back for at least ten years, but I didn't expect ...there are four waste families!"

Zhang Heng raised his eyes to look at Li Yanhao, and said: "Your Majesty, although this matter is very surprising, it is also expected after careful consideration. King Qin has a large army as his backing, Prime Minister Su is good at management, and their husband and wife are of one mind , it is not something that the four major families can contend with."

Li Yanhao sighed and rubbed his brows: "It's good now, all the opposing forces in Qin State have been wiped out, and their husband and wife can fully revitalize Qin State. Although the southeast area is a barren land, but with them, it becomes Wealth and strength are a matter of time. Especially Su Li, the ideas in her mind are always so amazing. Zhang Shangshu, a while ago, your report said, what kind of literacy classes did Prime Minister Su hold in Chang'an City and Weishui Plain?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, Master Su has set up literacy classes in every place where residents gather in Chang'an City, and in every village. They not only teach people how to read for free, but also distribute food to people based on their grades. The literacy class has been open for several months. According to the news from the spies sent by the minister, it is said that even a 70-year-old woman can read and write in Chang'an City and the Weishui Plain. Now Prime Minister Su has controlled the entire Qin State. Start to promote literacy classes in other areas. In addition to literacy classes, Qin is now building schools on a large scale, which is also what Prime Minister Su means."

"She spends so much effort and so much money, what is the school doing?" Li Yanhao looked puzzled. As an emperor, from his point of view, it is not worth the effort to make ordinary people read and write. .

Only the elites of the rulers are qualified to read and write, while the common people should be illiterate and ignorant, so that they can be controlled and managed.

Li Yanhao didn't agree with Su Li's starting to do education. He frowned slightly and said, "Su Li is a master, maybe in her eyes, studying is more important. Forget it, I think highly of her, she After all, she is a woman with limited knowledge, and the only things she can see are building schools and teaching. It’s okay to let her run a small business by herself, and let her govern the country. People like her have never read the four books and five classics every day. , it is definitely not possible.”

Thinking of this, Li Yanhao's anxiety eased a lot. He was very afraid that Qin would become stronger and threaten his rule.

Seeing that Su Li would build a school without doing his job, Li Yanhao felt much better. He looked up at Zhang Heng: "Is there any news about the queen? Counting the days, the queen has been in labor for three months, and there is still no news at all?" ?”

Mentioning the bell, Zhang Heng's eyes changed imperceptibly, and he shook his head: "There is still no news, Xiao Zetian and Su Li don't know where they hid the empress, and blocked all news about the empress. Still haven't heard anything."
