Chapter 322 National Literacy Begins
Prefectures and states in various places have recruited children and above to teach, and the wages are paid and food and accommodation are included.
It is enough to teach children and soldiers how to read and write.
Many poor students who originally gave up studying because of poverty seem to see hope now!
Look, you can get a salary without being admitted as a scholar, and it also includes food and accommodation!
This is easy money that you can make without going to the fields or being exposed to wind and sun!
Hurry up and study and take the exam!
The Tongsheng exam is not as difficult as that of the scholar...
At this time, the Tianwu court issued a new rule: all students who take the Tongsheng exam do not need to write calligraphy with calligraphy, but use water-based writing Just use pen refills to answer the questions!
Water-based refills are so cheap!
They can save a lot of money than using brushes, ink sticks and inkstones!
The students’ enthusiasm is even higher!
Tongsheng, who was originally worthless, became popular all over the Tianwu Kingdom... Even dating someone on a blind date became more popular than before!
The imperial court recruits a large number of children to teach them how to read, and some of them are paid!
There is no way, the court is so rich, it is so grand!
Xiao Yingchun was also very busy: buying water-based pen refills and draft paper by the truckload, and then asked Fu Chenan to send them to schools and shops across Tianwu Kingdom.
Even though Fu Chenan tried his best to sell at a fair price, he still couldn't resist the huge price difference between the two sides.
Both the Tianwu Kingdom’s court and Xiao Yingchun made huge profits!
The Tianwu Kingdom is in full swing, while the territory of the two rebel kings is in a low mood.
The people in the Niwang fiefdom are secretly fleeing to the surrounding state capitals controlled by the Tianwu Imperial Court.
Because the relatives over there have told them all the preferential policies of Tianwu Kingdom.
Do you only need to pay 10% tax for farming?
Can land reclamation be rent-free for three years?
In the past, you were able to register locally and find things to do in the local state capital?
My wages are not in arrears, and my family can still have enough to eat?
As long as they are common people in Tianwu, if the elderly over seventy years old cannot eat, can they enter the Salesian Home?
All ten-year-old children, as long as they are willing to go to school, can go to school and work part-time without having to submit studies?
Let your children become readers!
Who can resist this temptation?
King Ni refused to let him go and sent people to block the passage?
Everyone went over the mountains and ridges secretly!
Can the huge barren mountains and ridges be difficult for the people who have lived nearby for many years?
When more and more people left one village after another, and there were fewer and fewer people in the Niwang fiefdom, they became completely anxious.
The land is no longer cultivated, there are no people to pay taxes, all industries are withered, merchants can no longer make money, let alone pay taxes.
How can we fight with the Fu family and his son if this continues?
Can they take back the great country with just two words saying that the Fu family and his son are rebels?
This is obviously not possible!
Now they can't even keep the people in their hands, and they have begun to flee to Tianwu Kingdom with their families.
The two kings had a fierce dispute for the first time.
The King of East Lake rarely blushed: "Brother, you said you wanted to take advantage of it slowly, but now, all the people have fled, what are you trying to do? To take care of two bare kings?"
Emperor Nanming looked at his younger brother in disbelief.
"When I made this decision, you supported it. Why, now that the result is not what you wanted, you can turn around and criticize me?"
The face of the King of East Lake Even more popular: "I also know that I supported it at the beginning, but this is definitely not going to work now. You are the Emperor of Nanming, you have to find a way!"
Emperor Nanming sneered: "You treat me like Haven't you thought of a way? "What do you think we should do?"
"Are we like Fu Zhonghai and asking the people to pay only 10% of the tax?"
"Do you have Western merchants who can get you a large amount of profitable Western goods?"
"Can you get more money from the wealthy families in the fiefdom?"
< br>The King of East Lake paused.
It is impossible to get rich people from aristocratic families to pay willingly. No one will contribute to them the heritage accumulated by their family for many generations.
But what if you take the initiative to ask for it?
Even to rob it?
The voice of King Donghu trembled: "Brother, what if we have to make them pay?"
Emperor Nanming looked at King Donghu in shock:...
< br>King of East Lake: "Brother, we have no other option! If this continues, without the Fu family and his sons sending troops, all of us people in Nanming will be gone!"
"What's the point of talking about gentlemanly behavior when the country is not established?"
Emperor Nanming:! ! !
Nanming Kingdom is close to the edge of Tianwu Kingdom. A wealthy family sitting on hundreds of hectares of fertile land suddenly encountered bandits in the middle of the night.
The exquisite manor was burned down overnight, and the entire family was killed, including the old, young, women, children, and servants.
Seeing the fire blazing into the sky in the middle of the night, no one nearby dared to step forward to help put out the fire.
This kind of fire cannot be saved even if we want to save it...
When everyone went over carefully at dawn to take a look, they found that in addition to the charred corpses and the house, all the gold, silver, soft goods, food and cloth in the house had been robbed.
Then Emperor Nanming ordered a thorough investigation and at the same time took over all the land tenants of this family.
Emperor Nanming also announced to the world that if the master of this family is still alive, he can go directly to the capital of Nanming to claim their belongings...
The news is like having wings, flying fast The land spread among the people.
Across the city, Fengshui City belonged to Tianwu Kingdom. In an ordinary courtyard, a young man and woman were noisy.
The man had a baggage on his shoulders and insisted on walking out. The woman disagreed and grabbed his arm and dragged him back.
"Aze, are you stupid? Where did the bandits come from in our place?"
"There are hundreds of people in our family, and there are more than a hundred young and middle-aged men alone. How could a man kill so many people in one night and not even one escape? "
Kong Mingze refused to listen and struggled with tears in his eyes: " Sister, those are our parents and brothers and sisters!”
"No matter what, I should go back and collect the body, right?"
"We can't let Emperor Nanming just throw him into a big pit and bury him, right?"
Kong Liniang still didn't let go: "What if Emperor Nanming originally sent someone to kill him? When you go back, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?!"
Kong Mingze paused, his pupils dilated in shock: "How is this possible? ! ”
Although Kong Liniang is a concubine, she is married to a scholar who loves to read. The scholar has been working in the Yamen recently and has listened to many differences and analyzes between the two courts.
She also heard Xiucai Xianggong's analysis of this matter.
“How is it impossible?”
“The people from Emperor Nanming’s side are almost gone, and they have all come to Fengshui City and several nearby cities. Where will he collect taxes? "
"If the people don't pay taxes, how can they support Nanming's small court and army?"
"Of course they will attack these wealthy households close to the Tianwu Kingdom!"< br>
"They must be afraid that these rich people will also come to Tianwu Kingdom, so they chose to strike first!"
After Kong Liniang finished speaking, the strength of the struggle in her hands disappeared, and Kong Mingze stood blankly on the spot, as if he had lost his soul. .
Although he is a concubine who is not taken seriously, he is also educated.
He understood what his biological sister said and knew very clearly: what he said made sense.
That may be the case!
"Sister, what should we do?"
Kong Liniang was sweating from exhaustion: "It is impossible to snatch back our parents' money and land from Emperor Nanming. If you go back now, you will just deliver food to our door. , A sheep enters a tiger's mouth..."
"You want to settle down here? First, take the exam, and then find a way to settle down, and then follow up!"
