Even though Mencius once said, "The people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least important." But in the process of educating their children in a wealthy family, guess who this people is? In their education, this citizen is the wealthy family themselves.
Do you think they advertise themselves as nobles? No, they advertise to the outside world that they are also people, and their opposition to some reforms in the royal family that are not conducive to them is always to compete with the people.
To put it bluntly, the final interpretation of education lies in their hands. Many sages’ ideas are actually good, but these sages have no control over how future generations interpret it.
From the perspective of future generations, you can almost find many ancient theories that are close to modern ideas. But why ancient feudal society can last for so long actually has something to do with the final interpretation of education.
Of course, education through books is one part, and the other part is the words and deeds of the teachers who teach these people.
There is a saying that a teacher is the mirror of his students, and students are his shadow. This is what it means.
This is also the reason why Li Ke wants to build a school. It is not just the reason why the Tang Dynasty lacks officials without the powerful families.
Teaching should not just focus on teaching, but teaching people how to behave. Learning should not focus on reading, but on learning the way of life.
Li Ke could change the system of the Tang Dynasty, change the technology of the Tang Dynasty, and change everything about the Tang Dynasty. But after Li Ke died, the Tang Dynasty still wanted to continue. The only way was to root these ideas in the Tang Dynasty. In the hearts of young people from generation to generation.
This is the fundamental principle that made Datang strong and prosperous.
A single spark can start a prairie fire, but the torch of thought will never go out.
Just like the members of Yuelai Trading Company under the name of Li Ke, it seems that Li Ke only affects the members of Yuelai Trading Company, but in fact, their families have also been subtly accepting Li Ke's influence. The same is true for future generations.
Li Ke believed that after schools throughout Datang were successfully established, these members of Yuelai Trading Company would be the first to send their children to schools to study, and perhaps they would also influence friends, relatives, etc.
"Okay." Changle nodded seriously and agreed.
After agreeing, Changle hesitated and said, "Third brother, actually I have another idea."
"you say."
"After more than a month of condolences, I actually understand a lot. What the people often need is not how much wealth we can reward them, but whether we remember their efforts and whether we remember these unknown people. Just like the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery that you want to establish, Third Brother, almost every family member of the martyrs who heard the news will burst into tears."
"And the people who heard the news expressed their respect from the bottom of their hearts, because their husbands, fathers, and children might also become soldiers. And in this way, the entire Tang Dynasty will remember them, so I want to represent my father as the emperor. , on behalf of our Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty, we are going to express our condolences to more people." Chang Le said seriously.
"For example?" Li Ke looked at Changle and asked seriously.
"For example, those generals who stationed at the bitter cold frontier for the Tang Dynasty." Changle said softly, "I may not be able to bring many things with them, but the fact that I have gone there means that I have brought them the greatest need, which is the Tang Dynasty. The royal family has not forgotten them, nor has the Tang Dynasty court forgotten them, they are always in our hearts."
"And isn't this the same strategy as yours, Third Brother? We can establish the image of the royal family in the minds of the people and soldiers, reduce the influence of the aristocratic families on them, and reduce the influence of the generals on them."
Li Ke looked at Changle, who was only sixteen years old, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head and said softly: "Then you know, this is much harder than your visit in Chang'an, and the probability of encountering danger is also higher. many."
"I know, but I think that at that time, I was the real eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. At least I had an idea of our Tang Dynasty, instead of just imagining what the Tang Dynasty was like in the palace." Chang Le said with a smile.
Li Ke paused, then nodded and said: "Indeed, such a life will be more meaningful. At least when you are old, you will not feel that your youth is wasted. When you are old, you will lie in bed You can share stories of your youth with your grandchildren and great-grandchildren on the recliner.”
"But as for this, third brother supports you, but the queen is right next to you. Look at the look in her eyes." Li Ke said with a smile.
Changle looked at Queen Changsun who was staring at her. She immediately said coquettishly: "Auntie, you don't want your daughter to regret her life."
Empress Changsun was a little dumbfounded. She first glared at Li Ke and said: "Your third brother will encourage you, but the mother's words don't count for this matter. You have to see how to pass your father's test first."
"Besides, it's too dangerous. Although the Tang Dynasty is now very peaceful, there is never a shortage of bandits and horse bandits no matter where they are. And it's not just mountain bandits and horse bandits, but also the wild beasts and the environment. The great danger. The Queen Mother is willing to fulfill your wish, and the Queen Mother also wants you to have no regrets in your life, but the Queen Mother does not want to hear bad news one day."
"Then my mother spent her whole life in regret."
"Auntie." Changle fell into the arms of Queen Changsun and held Queen Changsun in his arms.
"Okay, be good, hey, my mother-in-law doesn't completely disagree with you going. As long as your father agrees, my mother-in-law will not object." Empress Changsun sighed.
"Well, Queen Mother, I'll leave first. I've discussed things with my father today, and I have to go back and make arrangements." Li Ke stood up quickly.
After a while, Changle acted coquettishly with him, and he ran over to mention this matter to his father. Wasn't this looking for a fight?
"Go." Empress Changsun glared at him helplessly. She wanted to call someone in and beat Li Ke with a military stick. You are a good boy. You support everything. In the end, I and I are the bad guys. Is that your father?
I want a brother like this too, who doesn’t?
"Third brother..." Changle quickly stood up.
"Third brother is gone, something really happened." Li Ke ran away decisively.
Looking at the back of her third brother, Changle felt a little helpless, but she was not in a hurry. After all, she had just come back. Even if she really wanted to go, she knew that it would not be possible in a short time.
Li Ke came out of Lizheng Hall and wandered to Liangyi Hall.
"Why are you here again?" Seeing Li Ke, Li Shimin glared at him.
"Dad, I have a proposal." Li Ke said with a smile.
"What?" Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously.
"How about we let Changle be the crown prince." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Pfft, cough, cough..." The living man next to him choked on his own saliva.
Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly, "I'm just talking." Li Ke shrank his head and ran away.
Looking at Li Ke's back, Li Shimin didn't know what to say. In order not to inherit this position, you really spared no effort and thought of any way.
