"The Taiping Sect can actually cause such a big thing..."

Ever since they witnessed the demonic abilities of the Taiping Sect that day, Li and Du have become particularly sensitive to news about Liquan or the Taiping Sect.

Now that they heard similar news coming out of Chang'an City, they were immediately interested and soon figured out the inside story.

After all, they are now different from what they used to be, and they can be regarded as people with great potential. After they showed their future career ambitions, many people felt that some of their choices were quite unusual, but it also made many people think that their future career aspirations were quite different.

I feel that the choice between the two has great potential.

It can be said that there are two paths specially designed based on the personalities and abilities of the two people.

Even Princess Yuzhen now values ​​the two of them a little more, instead of being mysterious and reserved like she usually does when she treats the literati she is interested in.

This change in the people around them also made them more aware of the importance of Zhou Qingdu's choice and planning for the two of them. Li Taibai and Du Fu no longer had the noble and arrogant attitude of the past, but they became acquainted in Chang'an City.

Some truly capable people with like-minded personalities.

Nowadays, they can be regarded as smart. At this time, Cen Shen and Gao Shi, who are also young, and two brothers, Yan Gaoqing and Yan Zhenqing, who are outstanding contemporary figures in the Yan family, are discussing this matter with them.

The fact that these people were able to get together was also due to the turmoil caused by Zhou Qingdu.

Ever since Li Du made a big splash in Chang'an, Cen Shen and Gao Shi, who had originally planned to take the imperial examination, couldn't help but come to Chang'an to try again. The brothers of the Yan family who had already entered the imperial court, Yan Gaoqing, came to Chang'an to report on their duties.

I was inspired by Li Taibai's poems and some of Du Fu's poems and wanted to get to know them.

As for Yan Zhenqing, it is a pure drinking buddies relationship, and the three drunkards can be regarded as having the same temperament.

In particular, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is unparalleled in the world. He is as proud as Li Taibai, but he is ashamed of himself. I heard that the "Five-animal body-building method" that was passed down in the palace was copied by Yan Zhenqing, who was the school clerk.

Li Taibai also laughed at Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, but it made many fans go crazy. After all, his calligraphy allowed him to have close contact with many concubines in the harem day and night.

It can be said that the reason why these people can get together is basically because of Li Taibai's boldness and eclectic temperament, which always gives people a very special feeling, especially after the success of Yue Lian, it makes people even more...

The intensity.

Drinking here, poetry there.

Soon a few people brought the topic to the hottest topic in Chang'an today.

"Judging from the Taiping Sect that I and Brother Zimei know, they are not a force that can do such a thing..."

"I'm afraid there's something fishy behind this!"

Li Taibai recalled the life-and-death situation that day, and looked at Du Fu, both of whom felt a little bit frightened for the rest of their lives, but it also allowed them to firm up their judgments.

The Taiping Sect is by no means a sect that teaches people to be good. The news about the situation in Liquan seems a little too weird.

"If we go by what you two said, the Taiping Sect is by no means a good religion."

"But the news from Liquan is completely different. It seems that something must have happened..."

Gao Shi nodded. He also had some political vision. It can be said that except for Li Taibai, most of the people present were from high-level family backgrounds. Naturally, they could sense the giant who was silently wrestling behind this matter.

The youngest Cen Shen was only nineteen at this time, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.

But seeing that everyone seemed to have this judgment, they didn’t blurt out their thoughts.

Yan Gaoqing, who has been governing the local area for some time, can better understand the background.

"In order to meet the needs of various places and the expenses of military towns in the border areas, the imperial court has been somewhat unable to make ends meet."

"Coupled with the serious land annexation by aristocratic families in various places, taxes have been reduced every year."

"In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, there was still a lot of surplus money and food, but this year there is already a shortage."

Speaking of this, Yan Gaoqing couldn't help but sigh. Although he was born in a high family, the character inherited from the Yan family would not engage in such work of annexing fields. Based on their family background, they would not do it at all.

Need to do this.

"This tax from Liquan is equivalent to giving eye drops to the officials in the imperial court."

"Your Majesty will definitely not miss such an opportunity. Even if it is not promoted nationwide, it will definitely be carried out in Gyeonggi Province, Guannai, and Hebei."

"Once we can use this to force out the land annexed by aristocratic families and allow more farmers to pay taxes according to Tang law, then the imperial court's expenditure pressure in all aspects will be reduced. More importantly, the reform of state roads will also

You can feel more confident!"

Being able to see so many things from this bit of information, Yan Gaoqing's vision cannot but be said to be very outstanding, while Yan Zhenqing is much more showy, with square and resolute eyebrows, and he nodded in agreement with his brother Cong's words.

"So it's hard to say whether the Taiping rebels in Liquan are actually the Taiping religion that you two know."

"I doubt that you can be so cooperative with His Majesty's thoughts..."

The words were not spoken, but everyone else present understood what he meant.

But Li and Du suddenly had some idea. If the Taiping Sect has been replaced or changed, is it possible that the person behind the scenes is their Taoist master... Zhou Qingdu?!

There is no reason for this idea, but it is clearly imprinted in their minds.

"Being able to ease land annexation is also a good thing."

"But I don't think it may work..."

Du Fu thought for a moment and shook his head.

"The various relationships between the Guanlong family are too close. If Your Majesty wants to push this matter forward, he will encounter far greater resistance than imagined."

"Especially Liquan. If the saint wants to use that place as a model, it will arouse the murderous intention of the major families. I am afraid that Liquan will not be stable for long..."

Quite unexpectedly, Du Fu could see this level, and Li Taibai couldn't help but pat his brother's shoulder.

"Since I have become the first person, I naturally have to be prepared to deal with the possibility of risks, but I don't think Liquan can solve it that easily."

While they were talking, a few people had already arrived at the place that has now been renamed ‘Jixian Academy’. This place used to be ‘Lizheng Academy’ and was also the first place in the world to be called an academy.

Searching, collating, and collecting books are the primary tasks of this academy. What's more important is that there are many dedicated scholars here, and it is also the location where hundreds of spiritual schools are hidden in the city.

Li Taibai and the others came here just to find some books for reference. You must know that it is not only Li Taibai who wants to go to the frontier, Cen Shen and Gao Shi are also quite interested in this, but it is different from those who have succeeded in the method of moon refining.

Under the circumstances, it is quite risky for them to go to the border.

So I came here to make some preparations for my upcoming trip to Northern Xinjiang.
Chapter completed!
