Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 409
The idea of ​​using official power to set up colleges in various places at the same time seems to be blocked just like that. What those family officials said is very reasonable. There is no money in the treasury, and everything is closed.So Li Chengqian naturally looked at Ma Zhou, who was the instigator.

Ma Zhou was clearly prepared for this. Of course, he had thought about the possible reasons that the family officials might come up with, and because he was in this position, many things about the Tang Empire could not escape his attention. Of course, he also knew something about the state treasury. The enemy used this reason to object, which was naturally within his expectation.

So he calmly came up with a plan of "taking from the people and using it for the people", which is simply alms.

He felt that the world of Tang Dynasty was also full of longing for reading, and there must be many people of insight who would actively support this matter.

So let's run a school with an open door, raise donations from the society, and rely on everyone's strength to raise funds for the academy.

It would be very heavy for all the academies to be borne by the imperial court, but it should be much simpler and less stressful if it is placed on the people of one state and one county, especially the local gentry.

In order to show his support for this matter, Ma Zhou himself happily expressed that he would donate all his salary for one year.

Although his position is quite prestigious, he has never accepted bribes and is known for his uprightness, so this salary is almost all his income.

That is to say, knowing that Lin Sen will definitely support him, it will not make him unable to eat, at worst, just continue to eat and drink alone, this is the only way to have this confidence.

Of course, it is also because he attaches great importance to this matter, and this support comes from the heart.

The other ministers who had once expressed their support for the academy all contributed generously, which was another expression of their attitude.

With these people as demonstrations, there are also many real important ministers, such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, it can be said that this matter has demonstrated its feasibility, so Li Chengqian made a happy decision, and the whole Tang Dynasty This has started to be implemented everywhere.

After the resolution is made, local officials from all over the country will naturally implement and implement this matter.

Whether it can be done well depends on the skills of those parents and officials, as well as their relationship with the local gentry.

Of course, this matter will definitely not end so easily, Ma Zhou has prepared a backup.

After all, it can be regarded as under the auspices of Li Chengqian, and the first duel with the family must be a good start, otherwise it will not only affect people's perception of Ma Zhou's ability, but also reduce Li Chengqian's prestige.

Therefore, Li Chengqian must continue to pay attention to this matter.

Ma Zhou also got through with Li Chengqian in advance, which made him more confident about this matter.Moreover, this last trick would not work without his approval, because it also involves a lot.

As soon as the order was issued, all local officials naturally got busy.

Of course, they also have their own thoughts, and supporters feel that this matter is indeed a good thing for the benefit of one party, and it is also a good opportunity to show their abilities.

If you do it beautifully, you can make a good impression on yourself with Li Chengqian, the crown prince. Maybe after Li Chengqian comes to power, you will be able to get further reuse.

Many of those who opposed this matter came from aristocratic families, mainly because they felt that this matter was detrimental to the interests of their families, and it also added a lot of trouble to their work.

How can it be so easy to take money out of the pockets of local gentry? These sophisticated people will definitely not do things that are thankless. Throwing out a penny, they wish to have ten times the income. How can you spend money to do things for the court? You can't see the benefits at all.

It's really not worthwhile for them to do this kind of begging for their own face and favor.

Therefore, when doing this job, it's a bit of a yin and yang, and it's just a matter of not working hard.

The magistrate of Chang'an County, who had come to the Lin family to investigate the disappearing bastard before, obviously belonged to the former, because this time he was very active in finding Lin Sen, and rambling for a long time, just to get him from Lin Sen. enough donations.

Lin Sen already knew this matter well, so there was no reason not to cooperate, so he pretended to be generous and donated his salary for a year.

With Lin Sen's precedent, it can be regarded as a breakthrough. When the Chang'an county magistrate goes to persuade other nobles, his words will definitely be much stronger. Let Lin Sen be the case.

Lin Sen also knew about it from several other acquainted nobles. Apart from joking and cursing a few words, Lin Sen couldn't do anything to the magistrate of Chang'an for this.

And from this, Lin Sen can be regarded as seeing his current influence, probably because he took the lead in donating, and all the other acquainted nobles expressed their support.

The situation in Wannian County on the other side is quite different. Most of the officials of the aristocratic family are concentrated there, and Lin Sen and the others have a clear distinction between civil and military, or they are a little disdainful to be with them. .

Originally, I was a little brooding about this matter, and I also wanted to see Li Chengqian's jokes. It would be strange to respond positively.

In private, there must be a lot of stumbling blocks. It is indispensable to encourage others and show the territories under one's own hands.

If it weren't for the concern that their influence is not as good as before, and that Li Shimin would play hard with them again when he came back, they wouldn't be so gentle now.

When the Wannian county magistrate came to the door, they seemed to have made an agreement. Each family just took out five copper coins, which were really strings of copper coins strung together with ropes.

The weight of these [-] pieces stacked together is not light, so let Wannian County Magistrate carry it back by himself, it can be said that it is no different from humiliating him face to face, it is clear that he is being dismissed as a beggar.

Even if you don't look at the insulting cash, just take out the five guan and show their contempt and disdain very clearly.

The dignified and aristocratic family took out five pennies, probably not enough for a day's expenses in any yard.

Besides, he, a Wannian county magistrate, came to the door in person, so the face is worth five bucks?If it is not a humiliation, who would believe it.

But he couldn't get angry yet. In name, after all, he was donating money, and he sent his hot face up on his own initiative.

And the other party has five surnames and seven families, even if the momentum is not as good as before, how can he be offended by a small Wannian county magistrate.So in the end, I had to chew my teeth and swallow it in my mouth.

Of course, the influence of the aristocratic family is much greater than that of a small general like Lin Sen, and the scope of influence is also much wider.

With their instructions, and the slap in the face, it was a bad start for others.

The matter of building academies on a large scale by seeking gentry for alms has not been implemented well in most places, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of these people.

For this reason, they are quite proud of themselves, look!what!Take a good look!So what if it's the royal family, without our support, wouldn't we still be able to do the same thing!

You are a little prince, do you think you can do it?childish!

Li Chengqian saw that, as Ma Zhou said, the aristocratic family would obstruct it, and it seemed that he had to use the second trick. It was time to give these arrogant guys a little color and let them understand it. His face is absolutely not to be insulted!
