Li Er continued,"The high-quality paper is controlled by those aristocratic families. It's also very difficult for poor students to study!"”
Qin Feng thought for a moment and replied,"Since that's the case, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much.”
"Oh, do you have a good plan?" When Li Er heard this, his spirits were lifted as he asked.
"Other than imparting this toilet paper, my master also taught me a few other paper-making techniques. They are not inferior to the existing paper, but the cost is even lower.”
Qin Feng was not lying. Not only were there many methods of making paper recorded in books such as Heavenly Works, but he could even make paper from the methods recorded in books from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They were much more advanced than the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty.
This was also good news for Li Er. Although it could not solve the monopoly of the aristocratic families, it could be considered as a step forward in disintegrating their strength.
Suddenly, Li Er asked,"I want to completely eliminate the aristocratic families. What do you think?"”
Qin Feng was also confused by this question. He said,"Uh, this subject has never thought about this. However, since Your Majesty has asked, this subject will say whatever is on my mind.”
"Just say it!"
Qin Feng recalled the books and history of the Tang Dynasty that he had read before and then began to tell Li Er,
"The aristocratic families have a long history. There is a saying that there are no poor families in the upper class and no aristocratic families in the lower class. To become an official in the court, one needs the recommendation of an important official in the court. If one does not rely on these aristocratic families, even a talented person will not be able to realize his ideal revenge.”
"Although the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty had a certain impact on the aristocratic families, it was still far from enough. Those aristocratic families could still bribe the examiners and examiners to influence the examinees 'scores.”
"If you want to change this situation, you only need to paste the names of the examinees on the test papers with something. Furthermore, all the test papers that are marked and suspected of cheating will be invalid. Naturally, you can ensure that the imperial examination results are true and effective, allowing truly talented people to surface.”
"Moreover, His Majesty wants to abolish the recommendation system. After all, the aristocratic families have a great advantage over the students of the poor families in this aspect, but the children of the aristocratic families can easily enter the government with this.”
" The imperial examination system isn't actually that perfect. The examinees can't accurately select the truly talented people by studying or writing a few essays. For example, practical questions such as locust plagues and how to deal with floods can also be added to the examination papers.”
"If a country wants to prosper and live a peaceful life, education is essential. This education is not just for a few people, but for the entire Great Tang.”
"I feel that Your Majesty should open more schools and lower the tuition fees so that more and more people can receive education. Let the students learn what they are good at and use what they learn. This is the long-term plan!”
After saying so much in one breath, Qin Feng also felt a little thirsty. He poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
When Qi Siyong heard his words, he was so shocked that he was speechless. He really could not figure out how a teenager could be so outstanding.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was still young and did not have a deep understanding of these words, but he could not help but nod his head.
Princess Li Lizhi had already turned into a fangirl. She looked at Qin Feng with admiration, and no one knew what she was thinking.
As for the benevolent Li Er, he was still immersed in Qin Feng's speech. Every suggestion that Qin Feng made was direct and profound.
Even though Li Er was a high and mighty emperor, he still had limitations that could not be avoided in this era. The first few suggestions were still acceptable, but the last suggestion of opening schools and uniforming compulsory education was probably something he could not understand.
In later generations, we all know that education is the foundation of a country. The prosperity of a nation depends on the education level of the entire population.
However, in this era where the education rate might not reach one percent, it could be said that they were more than one step ahead.
As the saying goes, a genius is one step ahead, but a lunatic is two steps ahead or even more. The Qin Feng in Li Er's eyes is probably no different from a lunatic, right?
This time, Li Er was deep in thought for a long time. No one disturbed him. Other than the occasional sound of cicadas, the entire courtyard seemed quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Er ended his thoughts. His eyes were filled with passion as he said excitedly,"Qin Feng, zhen wants you to be the chief examiner of this Imperial Examination. Do as you say, zhen wants to be the one emperor in history.”
At the mention of the One Emperor of the Ages, Li Er's body suddenly surged with a myriad of lofty sentiments. He felt as if he wanted to ascend to the blue sky and embrace the bright moon.
Qi Siyong: "???!!!"
Crown Prince Li Chengqian: "???!!"!”
Other than Li Lizhi who was still looking at Qin Feng with a lovestruck expression, Qi Siyong and Li Chengqian were both confused and shocked.
Even Qin Feng was dumbfounded. Li Er thought for a long time and finally came up with a solution to let him be the chief examiner of the imperial examination. Wasn't this equivalent to lifting the ball back?
Qin Feng was used to a leisurely life. Being the chief examiner of the imperial examination was just asking for trouble. How could he agree? He hurriedly rejected: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. This subject is lacking in talent and knowledge.”
"Qin Feng, if you can find another person in the Great Tang who can understand what you've said today, I'll make him the examiner," Li Er said resolutely.”
"..."
Qin Feng thought to himself, I'm a transmigrator. Where the hell am I going to find another transmigrator for you? Even an emperor with great talent and strategy like you doesn't understand.
One had to strike while the iron was hot. Li Er continued,"I will announce this matter in court tomorrow. I hope you can bring me a different world. I don't have a talented person like you by my side!”
Qin Feng's move could be considered to have trapped himself. He could only agree with a bitter face. Anyway, there was nothing else in the library, but there were plenty of books.
At most, he could just copy more questions from the book.
Having solved a big problem that weighed on his mind, Li Er was in a particularly good mood. He poured himself a cup of tea and was about to drink it when he suddenly stopped.
"Eh? Why isn't there any onion, ginger, or garlic in this tea?" Li Er asked in surprise. There's no salt or mutton oil juice?"
The drinking method of tea before the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the early Tang Dynasty was called "boiling tea". The drinking method of boiling tea was born out of the edible and medicinal use of tea, so the method of boiling tea originated from the edible and medicinal use of tea.
From the point of consumption, fresh or dried tea leaves were cooked into soup, also known as tea porridge, usually seasoned with salt.
It came from medicinal use. It was made from fresh or dried tea leaves with ginger, laurel, pepper, orange peel, mint, etc. and boiled into soup.
At this time, there were already two forms of " boiling tea ". One was adding salt, and the other was adding seasoning.
The tea brewing method did not require any tea leaves. Whether it was fresh tea leaves or dried tea leaves, it did not matter if they had been processed or not. There was no limit to the tea leaves in the form of pancake tea or loose tea leaves.
The method of brewing tea was also very simple. The tea was mixed with water and placed on the stove to boil. The tea could be placed first or later. It could be water cooled or hot. It could be mixed with salt, ginger, pepper, laurel, etc., or it could not be mixed with seasoning. Therefore, mixing was the main form of brewing tea.
Therefore, Li Er put the teacup to his mouth and smelled that there was no seasoning in the tea, so he asked Qin Feng.
