Since artificial rainfall was not an immortal technique, Li Er was relieved and did not pursue the matter.
Thus, he turned to the aristocratic families. Li Er was not very satisfied.
According to the laws of the Great Tang, the crime of disrespect could not implicate family members. The strength of the aristocratic families still existed, especially in the local areas. The common people only knew the aristocratic families and did not know the court.
Qin Mo spread his hands and said," This has nothing to do with me. I'm just a child.”
"None of your business?" The sly old man jumped out as if his tail had been stepped on. He pointed at Qin Mo and said," Was the movable type printing incident your doing? "You even instigated me to take the blame for you while you hid behind to count the money. Let me tell you, I've already spread the word in the imperial court that I want to dig out the roots of the aristocratic families. If you can't do it, don't blame me for exposing you.”
Li Er snorted." The aristocratic families are forcing me to do this. I wish I could kill their entire family.”
Although he was the emperor, he couldn't act recklessly. That would be a bad ruler, and he would be no different from Yang Guang.
If those were done, the monarch and his subjects would be alienated.
In the end, everyone had to abide by the rules. Even the emperor could not do as he pleased.
However, he did not want to let those aristocratic families off just like that.
"Uncle Zhangsun, don't be rash.”Qin Mo smiled." Aren't they just a few aristocratic families? It's as easy as playing with them.”
The old man's eyes lit up." I knew you had a lot of bad ideas."”
"Are you complimenting me or insulting me?" Qin Mo's face darkened.
"Do you have any ideas?" Li Er also asked.
Qin Mo smiled." Why did the aristocratic families force His Majesty?”
"Don't keep me in suspense?" The old man was confused.
"Because the market is flooded with cheap books, the aristocratic families feel that their foundations have been shaken.”Qin Mo looked at the silent duo and smiled." Since that's the case, we'll waver even more thoroughly.”
"How can I waver more thoroughly?"
Their eyes lit up. They naturally knew this, but they did not know how to achieve this effect.
"I have three plans. First, His Majesty can set up academies in the counties to recruit students.”
"Wonderful!" Li Er couldn't help but cheer when he heard this plan.
If every state and county could set up an academy, then there would be more scholars. At that time, the foundation that the aristocratic families relied on to survive would no longer exist.
If he wasn't worried that no one would help him govern the world, he would have long raised his butcher knife against those aristocratic families.
"There are still two plans!"
Li Er and the sly old man were looking forward to the remaining two plans.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The aristocratic families coerce the people to force His Majesty, and His Majesty can also use the fishing boats to attack them, expose the ugly faces of the aristocratic families, and damage their reputation.”Reputation was more important than life for aristocratic families. If their reputation was ruined, the people would naturally despise them.
In ancient times, the flow of information was not smooth. What the aristocratic families did in Chang 'an was not known in their hometown.
What Qin Mo wanted Li Er to do was to go all over the world to ruin their reputation.
Li Er hesitated." The world is so big. How many people do we need to send to do this?”
Qin Mo smiled." There's no need to send people to various places. We just need to publish a newspaper to expose the evil faces of the aristocratic families."”
All along, the fishing boats had always been controlled by the gentry clans. Although Li Er wanted to, he was powerless to compete with the aristocratic families.
But when it came to fishing boats, how could these old antiques of the Great Tang compare to Qin Mo, who had more than a thousand years of knowledge? Having experienced the great explosion of fishing boats, he could easily crush them.
"What is a newspaper?" The old man asked.
Li Er also revealed a questioning look.
Qin Mo said," Your Majesty, do you know about the court bulletin?”
Di Bao was also known as Di Chao, Chao Bao, Tiao Bao, and Za Bao. All four of them used the word "Bao". It could be seen that it was a kind of announcement news used to inform the court. It was a news copy specially used to inform the court of the documents and political intelligence.
"How can we let the commoners read the court bulletin?" Li Er shook his head.
Qin Mo smiled and said," The newspaper is not a court bulletin, but a citizen's bulletin for the common people to read. Apart from the government affairs of the court, it can also publish some business information. His Majesty can use the newspaper to convey the voice of the court and control the fishing boat.”
After a brief introduction of the newspaper's function, Li Er immediately understood its importance and his interest was greatly increased." The newspaper can be tested in Chang 'an.”
Running a newspaper was naturally the most important part of Qin Mo's national reform. This was because the number of students that could be trained in the Chinese Academy of Sciences was limited, and he had to train them as top talents.
Li Er valued the role of the left and right fishing boats, while Qin Mo valued the role of enlightening the people.
After the wisdom of the people was developed, his various ideas were easier to implement.
"Since it's a newspaper for the public, why don't we call it Chang 'an Daily?”
Li Er nodded in satisfaction." Good, I'll leave this matter to you."”
If the fishing vessels were controlled by the Imperial Court, then his control over the Great Tang would be even stronger.
"What is the third plan?" The first two plans were already so lethal. They were even more expectant of the last plan.
"The library." Qin Mo spat out three words." Your Majesty, you can order people to set up a library in the government to borrow books for scholars who can't afford them.”
This was an even more thorough blow to the aristocratic families. If cheap books were already so frightening to the aristocratic families, then what about free books?
This was a drastic measure.
"Good! If the three strategies were used together, the aristocratic families would definitely not survive.”
Li Er and the cunning old man were naturally celebrating. The aristocratic families had just suffered a blow. Even if Li Er took out these three strategies, their counterattack was limited.
However, Qin Mo's three strategies were not as simple as attacking the aristocratic families. He had a deeper purpose.
Everything was done to enlighten the people, but they would not tell the outside world.
Li Er and the old man were smart people, but due to the limitations of the times, it was difficult to see clearly.
"I'll leave this matter to you." Li Er said happily.
Qin Mo said shyly," Your Majesty, I'm still a child. It's better to let Uncle Zhangsun handle this matter. I'll just plan behind the scenes."”
It was best to let the old man handle these matters. After all, he had already fallen out with the aristocratic families. As for the content of the newspaper, Qin Mo could plan it, and the fishing boat was still in his hands.
" You bastard!" The old man cursed." You're playing me like a gun."”
"Uncle Zhangsun, the capable do more work!" Qin Mo smiled.
Li Er nodded." Leave this matter to the auxiliary."”
