Hearing what their minister said, Li Er shook his head.
“Everyone, as the old saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and this folk saying is not entirely wrong.
In the same way, not all what the people say is correct. What we can do is to identify which ones are correct. If they are correct, we will use them in Datang.
If there are any other incorrect statements, I will treat them as if they were just hearing something funny, and laugh it off happily.
You can't limit what people can say, right?
And now that the people of the world have said this, it must be because there is such a need and because there are people who can be both civil and military.
The soldier thought for a moment.
He nodded, then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, although I also know that what your Majesty said is not unreasonable, but it is both literary and military, and it has little value to me, the Tang Dynasty.
Although it is said that he is capable of both literature and martial arts, at that time, will it be arranged for literature or martial arts?"
"Hahaha, if you have the ability to defeat the enemy with martial arts and mount a horse to bring peace to the world, and if you have the ability to govern and rejuvenate the country with civility, if you are an all-rounder who is capable of both civil and military affairs, you can definitely hold two positions in one person.
At the same time, I have to focus on cultivating such talents.
If there is a shortage of civil servants in any place, they can be immediately converted into civil servants and arranged.
If there is a shortage of military commanders, we can immediately arrange to transform them into military commanders.
If this is the case, please pass on my will and wait for the imperial examination next year, so that military generals can also take part."
No matter how powerful he is, for Li Er, he is just loyal to him.
The more capable someone is, the more powerful the talent will be loyal to him. For me, doesn't it mean the more I can explain my attitude towards their talent?
No matter what your status is, as long as you have talent, you can be used by Datang.
This will make more and more capable people and strangers loyal to me, the Tang Dynasty.
In this way, why should we worry about the lack of talents in Datang?
There is no shortage of talents, and the court becomes stronger, thus achieving a virtuous cycle.
If any of his descendants are weak and not as capable as himself, relying on the empire he has built, as long as he trusts these ministers, even if he is weak, he will definitely be able to sit still, and there will be no problems at all.
.
Thinking of this made everyone smile.
In this case, the martial arts examination should be held after the imperial examination.
Participating in martial arts competitions is still open to everyone and is drawn by lot so that no one will cheat.
Although the martial arts examination is simpler than the imperial examination, it is also easier for people to cause trouble than the imperial examination.
He himself was a military commander, and the entire Tang Dynasty was founded on military force.
I can better understand the impact it will have on Datang if there is a problem with the generals.
Therefore, in the martial arts examination, if anyone causes trouble, everyone will be executed immediately.
"This is your Majesty. The general has received your order and will go and make arrangements."
"I will definitely be named on the gold list this year."
On the way to Chang'an, a group of students gathered together and began to talk about the imperial examination.
Now that they have studied at Lantian College for more than a year, such a good opportunity was completely unavailable to them before. Therefore, whether it is for themselves or for His Majesty, they must study hard and gain something.
Achievement.
Chang'an City, Inn.
"Brother, I often eat at this shop in Chang'an City. I think their food is delicious!"
When I came here, I looked at the food in front of me.
"Daughter, please tell me, this cost you money again?"
“Dad, don’t say that, these are just ordinary meals, how can there be anything that costs money?
As long as our family is happy together, it is the happiest thing!"
Nowadays, I am not wearing official uniform, but in plain clothes, and I have returned to the image of a jumping little girl before.
"Isn't it hard to be in the court?"
"Mom and Dad, it's not hard at court. Besides, my daughter only works in clerical jobs."
As the first woman to be admitted, she had met the Holy Sage before, but the Holy Sage knew her daughter's identity.
Originally, he was going to be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor, but in the end, due to some strange circumstances, he was promoted.
Although compared with other official positions, his official position does not have real power, but now he is still receiving a salary.
Every day is very leisurely. After finishing the work, I feel very happy when I return to my place of residence!
"Grandpa, ma'am, don't worry, I'll be here to take care of you!"
"Xiao Cui, you must take good care of the young lady, and do the same for your daughter.
Your eldest brother is also here to take part in the imperial examination this year. I hope you can win the first prize in one fell swoop and enter the court to see His Majesty in person.
Be loyal to His Majesty and be promoted to a higher rank.
If that were the case, our family would be like smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors, and both our sons and daughters would become officials, hahaha!"
This kind of thing happened many times throughout Chang'an City.
Everyone is very excited to welcome the next imperial examination!
The next exams began to take place one after another, and the number of people this year was more than double that of last year.
In addition to those who had failed before and came to take the imperial examination, there were many students from all over the world who wanted to come and try their luck.
If you suddenly get lucky and the carp leaps over the dragon gate, that would be better!
On the day of the imperial examination, people moved throughout Chang'an City.
This time, no one dared to cause trouble, and no one dared to come late or after this time.
It would be better to come early to burn a stick of incense than to come late. Otherwise, what awaits them will not only be chased away, but they may also be thrown into a prison.
Think about it and forget it.
Today's Holy Emperor personally arranged for people to conduct the imperial examination and visited every examination room.
"Well, not bad, I mean Lao Kong, aren't those people the children of your Kong family? They also came to take part in the imperial examination?"
"Yes, I think this imperial examination is very accurate and fair.
From the opening of the test paper to the final evaluation, the names of the test papers are printed and copied, so everyone can be treated fairly and equitably.
In this way, there is no need to worry about someone doing malicious things behind your back, thereby affecting fairness.
Um.
Hearing this, the others nodded secretly. For this group of talented students, there was no need to worry about how to take the exam.
On the contrary, some people who have no talent and want to come here to eat and wait for death are a little uncomfortable.
As for Confucius and his party, although their identities at the Zhaojiazhuang factory say they cannot enter casually.
But it is more convenient to come to the palace and take out the token than to enter your own home.
There were accompanying people following him, and they walked around all the venues.
After going to the Imperial College, we were busy for a while, until the imperial examination was over. The group even personally participated in the excerpts and final approval of the imperial examination.
After all these talented people were arranged, Li Er smiled with satisfaction when he saw their names.
Presumably there will be more people next year, and next year's imperial examination will be the last deadline.
In the next year, students from all over the country will have to take exams in prefectures and counties to select talents and send them to Chang'an City.
It is not necessary to arrange all the people to Chang'an City every time.
After all, I have gained a lot of experience from the two imperial examinations, and at the same time, there are many people who do have real talents and practical knowledge.
However, during this period, there were still many people who came here to fish in troubled waters.
For these students who have real talents and practical knowledge, I will definitely give them a heavy responsibility. On the other hand, if I don't have real practical knowledge and want to fish in troubled waters, I will be very unhappy.
But there is no way, I can't punish them severely or drive them out just because their talents are low, right?
But seeing that this group of people had no talent and wanted to fish in troubled waters, I felt really unhappy.
So I arranged the matter according to my own ideas.
After the three-year imperial examinations were all stabilized, the new imperial examination method was implemented.
On the day when the results were released in the court, there was a huge crowd, some were happy and some were sad.
Li Er arranged for people to gather all these people in an inn and wait until the martial arts examination was over to receive them together.
The science and technology exam has officially ended, and the martial arts exam is also in full swing.
The martial arts examination is not like the imperial examination, which makes everyone feel that it is more troublesome and even a bit long-winded.
The arena was built and arranged simply and crudely for everyone to operate.
In the entire Chang'an City martial arts arena, six arenas were directly set up for simultaneous performances.
People all over the world can come and watch. As for this martial arts examination, people all over the world can be asked to take part in supervising the imperial examination.
In this way, I don't have to worry about anyone maliciously causing trouble during this period. Youdao, the public's eyes are also sharp.
If someone maliciously causes trouble during this period, Li Er will probably not need to personally take action by then, and the people will start shouting.
I came to the venue to check it out in person. The entire martial arts venue was crowded with people, and people gathered here to watch this grand event.
At the same time, various casinos in Chang'an City have also been arranged.
It has not been open for three years, but it has been open for three years. Although these casinos are usually open, they can finally make a lot of money this time, and make quick money.
Everyone gathered here again to start trading and make money.
Cooperate with the government and make profits together.
Everyone feels that they will definitely be able to make a lot of money this time.
Immediately afterwards, arrangements were made to draw lots, and groups of people walked into the ring and started fighting. At the same time, the casino also began to open, giving everyone the opportunity to place bets.
Time is running out, so I leave my purchase, all orders are opened, and I wait quietly.
The general gave the order, and the battle below began as scheduled.
Crackling, crackling, it seemed that the two sides were fighting. Seeing this scene, all the people cheered, they must win, they must win.
The martial arts competition here is still going on with great enthusiasm.
Li Er came to the martial arts arena in a carriage and inspected it personally.
Yes, through this kind of martial arts competition, we can also recruit a group of generals for our Tang Dynasty.
Thereby raising the construction of the entire army to the highest level!
After several days of competition, the martial arts competition officially ended, and people were personally arranged to ask questions.
Those who are brave but have no plans can be called vanguards and directly lead the troops in battle. Those who are brave and have plans can be called generals or even marshals, commanding the overall situation.
After all the people were distributed according to their superiority and inferiority, they were also given various military techniques so that they could go home and study them.
If they are illiterate, they will be arranged to learn literacy at a college in Lantian County.
For him, Li Er, these talents will be used by him, and they will also be an important group of wealth for Datang in the future, so no matter what, he must control all these talents to prevent any mistakes from happening.
Until the imperial examination system and the military examination system were all over, Li Er personally summoned the military examination and imperial examination team at the palace.
The newly arranged group of people were from the Imperial Examination High School, and several of them were students studying at Lantian County College.
For my own reasons, I arranged to study hard there. This year, I will directly take the imperial examination for high school.
The few students among them quickly knelt on the ground and thanked His Majesty. Li Er waved his hand to let them stand up, and said some passionate words, making everyone feel excited from the bottom of their hearts.
Your Majesty is really kind to these students.
Li Er lamented that it was a good thing that he founded Lantian County College at that time so that students who failed the exam could continue to study there.
Otherwise, if we had asked them all to get up and leave at that time, even if they had such ability, without such a learning environment, they would probably just fail.
Now, this group of people has succeeded. For Li Er, as long as one person gets the final high school diploma, it will be worthwhile for him to establish Lantian County College this time.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on everyone's face.
I took another look at the newly assigned generals. Many of them were from the military camp.
Now that they have participated in the martial arts competition, their strength has improved to a higher level. Yes, it is quite good.
"I congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty."
At this moment, the whole court, princes and ministers were flattered by this wave of flattery, which made Li Er feel very comfortable.
This flattery is very effective.
"Everyone, from today on, you will all become a member of my court, and each of you should be responsible for the Tang Dynasty.
For the Tang Dynasty and for the people of the world."
Then the officials were arranged to deal with the matter and assign new identities to these people.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to do?"
The ministers shook their heads.
"Since there is nothing to do, withdraw from the court!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Li Er returned to Tai Chi Hall and began to be busy minding his own business again.
In Chang'an City, all the clan members gathered together and began to study and discuss again.
This year, in the martial arts and imperial examinations, it was their group of clan children who won the first place again.
But compared with last year, everyone can find that although they are still the clan children on the list, the number of people at the bottom is more common people.
To put it simply, the clans on the previous list accounted for more than 70%.
In this year's list, clans only accounted for 69%.
Maybe for ordinary people, they can't see the reason for this.
But for this group of clan children, this 1% gap, if this matter is not properly arranged.
One day in the future, there will definitely be a 10% gap.
If a 20% gap occurs, it means that clan and civilian children can achieve a balance in the imperial examination.
And once this balance is broken, it will be the beginning of their clan being pushed into the endless abyss.
"Have our personnel discovered where their paper mill and printing factory come from?"
"Master, after some investigation, our people found that this paper mill and printing factory are very close to our Chang'an City.
It is said that it is in a place called Zhaojiazhuang, and that Zhuangzi's factory has been assigned manpower to guard it.
Our people wanted to investigate, but were warned that if they tried to force their way in, they would be killed without mercy.
We can see through the momentum of these people, they definitely look like people in the army, and they are not like what a small Zhuangzi can arrange!"
Sure enough, everyone's faces became very ugly when they heard this sentence.
In the end, the root cause was finally found, and it turned out that it was really something specially arranged by the emperor.
I found a particularly hidden Zhuangzi and prepared to do these tasks under the eyes of everyone.
Moreover, it is not very far from Chang'an City. If anything happens, you can immediately come to Chang'an to send more troops.
This wishful thinking was really obvious. If they hadn't already investigated all these things, they would have suffered heavy damage if they went ahead rashly.
"Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"
"Hmph, just arrange a group of dead soldiers on the rivers and lakes to attack.
We only have one hour to capture their site, and by then we will be able to easily control it.
Otherwise, what awaits us will definitely be them going to the city to arrange manpower.
If this group of people goes to Chang'an City to call for reinforcements, our plan will fail."
"Okay, in that case, let's send someone to arrange this matter secretly.
After the deed is accomplished, everyone will be greatly rewarded."
Regarding the Zhuangzi next to them, no one thought that there was any big deal about Zhuangzi among them.
He shook his head disdainfully, he was just a small Zhuangzi, what kind of trouble could he cause?
This Zhuangzi must have been arranged here just to attract people's attention. If he dares to meddle in other people's affairs, he doesn't mind killing them all!
"It's the head of the family."
Zhao Mu never dreamed that he would be shot while lying down at home.
I have been staying in Zhuangzi without leaving, yet someone with intentions is still thinking about me.
But whatever, as far as he is concerned, what if he is remembered by others?
If anyone dares to come and provoke me, I don't mind killing them all.
For him, he was really too lazy to think about these things.
If someone dares to come here deliberately to cause trouble, the only thing waiting for them is death.
"Brother, congratulations to you."
Still in the same inn, a family of four gathered together, talking about the imperial examination.
This imperial examination can be said to be a rapid one. There are countless powerful people, and the competition is much more fierce than last year.
Fortunately, his eldest brother was stronger than him and won the first place in the imperial examination.
After the imperial examination, His Majesty personally summoned the two brothers and sisters.
He also praised them both.
Such an honor is truly unimaginable for their family.
His Majesty is so caring about talents, how can the two of them not be more loyal?
Hearing what the two brothers and sisters said, he, being a stupid father, didn't know what to say, so he could only smile.
"You two, brother and sister, must remember that your glory is given by His Majesty.
You must serve His Majesty well."
Although my status is not particularly high, my status is not very noble either.
I don’t want the children in my family to be rich and powerful, but I want everyone to be loyal.
While thinking about it, the whole person smiled again.
Eat vegetables, eat vegetables.
In addition to their excitement, some businessmen were also very excited.
All dynasties have suppressed commerce, focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce, including the Tang Dynasty.
But because they had done things that were beneficial to the court before, His Majesty gave them this opportunity and allowed their heirs to take the imperial examination.
Everyone is treated fairly and justly. If you can pass the exam, you will definitely be able to leap over the dragon's gate.
If they don't pass the exam, there's nothing they can do about it. There won't be any hindrances behind their backs because of their status.
Today, the good news comes that my son is entering high school directly.
Although among all the rankings, they were only in the middle position, but even those in the middle position were personally summoned to the palace by His Majesty, saw His Majesty in person, and after being awarded titles and titles, they were asked to go home to visit their parents.
They will enter Chang'an City soon and arrange for them according to their location.
After hearing this good news, as the saying goes, there was smoke rising directly from the ancestral graves, and they even arranged for a big banquet to be held and invited their relatives and friends to come here.
In addition, a large amount of meals were prepared and a good meal was given to the beggars.
My son's high school must celebrate it well no matter what, and at the same time publicize the good news well.
In addition to inviting their friends, the local government was also invited.
As for the local government, if you are just a small businessman, it also depends on the time of the government.
If you have time, go. If you don't have time, just say no.
Even if he went there, he would still occupy the main table position.
One is an official and the other is a citizen. The identities of the two parties are kept here. How can they be confused with you businessmen casually?
Even so, these businessmen were all smiling.
Even if he knew in his heart that this was what the government meant, he could do nothing about it.
After all, my identity is here.
It's just that today is different from the past, times are changing, their thoughts are changing, because a person's status is also changing.
Why does everyone hope that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix?
Because if a person has a glorious ancestor, it means that the status of the entire family has improved.
If you don’t believe me, just take a look, because the son of the high school student in his family entertained everyone by himself, and even entertained the local officials.
The local government had a smile on their face, and there was nothing like the situation before.
Following the owner's conversation there, while talking about these things, they also talked about their son. Now this is a gold medal.
Although they are businessmen, so what if they are businessmen? These official titles were all given by the court.
It represents the Holy Spirit’s will.
It is said that the sky is big and the earth is big, Your Majesty is the biggest.
Therefore, they must act in accordance with His Majesty's will no matter what.
Especially for the students recruited by His Majesty's imperial examination system, they must make arrangements for them.
Otherwise, if His Majesty becomes angry, the consequences will be serious.
What is respect? What we have today is called respect.
Before, I was just a businessman, and I had to bow my head in front of these government officials.
But now I am different, I have changed, and I can be on equal footing.
The banquet was arranged for several days until it was completely over.
Before leaving, I had a few words with my son at home.
This status and this honor now are all given by the current Holy Emperor, so they must be loyal to His Majesty and cannot discredit Him.
"Father and children know."
While listening to the father say this and that, he nodded in agreement and said his own words at the same time.
Your Majesty has arranged everything properly in the court.
At the same time, an order was issued, not just because these people entered the court and became officials, but because one person in their family became enlightened, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, causing harm to one party.
If the Holy One knew that because of their high school entrance exams, there were people in their families who were using their status to maliciously cause trouble and do things to oppress the people behind their backs. At that time, no matter what their status was, they would all be severely punished and even sentenced to death.
"Son, because of your relationship, we will definitely do business in a down-to-earth manner and pay taxes on time."
Because of the heirs in his family, he will not cause trouble with anyone, and it is the same as when others want to make trouble with him.
If you want to do something, you have to consider this level of status.
So regarding this matter, I, as a father, also know what to do and what not to do.
The family can continue to do business, and their sons can continue to serve as officials in the court.
During the next period of time, I personally visited the stores I was in.
Those who were in competition with their family before are now greeted with smiles.
I would rather lose a little profit, but also give up the profit.
On the contrary, people just waved their hands and refused, and just do whatever you want to do in business. We can't bully others just because there is an official in our family.
If things turn around, what happens if officials become officials in other families tomorrow?
Their children serve as officials in the court because they are loyal to the current emperor.
And they do business for us to make money for ourselves, so there should be no delay between the two and they should do it together on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
Hearing what others said, everyone was filled with emotion.
After all, she didn't look down on anyone because of her noble status. On the contrary, she still looked smiling.
And they are all in the same city, meeting each other without looking up. Does that mean they can do business together?
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of flattery came over, and various gifts were arranged before he went to Chang'an City to take office.
Dear nephew, you can be an official with peace of mind, and you must serve the country and the people. Here in our city, we will follow your father to make these businesses bigger and stronger, so that you will have no worries.
After saying these words and doing these things, everyone smiled.
"Everyone, I would like to thank you here. If you have something to do with your family in the future, as long as it is not a major matter that violates the principles, you can go to my father and send a letter directly to Chang'an City. I will definitely help."
Yeah.
While talking, everyone sighed again and again.
He has given birth to a good son.
Watching others go away amidst the laughter and laughter of everyone.
"Everyone, let's study carefully how we will do business next. What do you think?"
Yeah!
Let’s talk about Chang’an on the other side.
Li Er felt very proud. After arranging all the imperial and military examinations, he felt a little giddy.
Now it can be said that there is good news one after another. After I have finished my work on the Tang Dynasty, I don’t know what the arrangements are like on the Tibetan side.
I actually made some calculations in my mind. Good news came some time ago, and several of their cities have been conquered.
Regarding this matter, Li was very pleased.
Seeing the good news coming one after another from the front, there is also a lot of good news from the rear. Maybe after this year, when waiting for next spring, the good news will come again. The Tang Dynasty has completely conquered the entire Tubo.
Thinking of these, Li Er felt very comfortable!
When I came to the back garden, I saw that the fruits were ripe, so I picked two of them myself and brought them to the harem to taste them with the Queen!
"Your Majesty, the taste of these fruits is the same as the fruits eaten in Zhaojiazhuang, but it is also different."
Same means that all the fruits are exactly the same. If we say they are different, it is because the fruits here are grown by themselves. This feeling is completely different.
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on everyone's face.
"Please tell me my message. Go to the Royal Garden to pick more fruits and vegetables and send them to all the concubines."
"It's your Majesty!"
To be a king, what matters is that the rain and dew should be spread evenly.
Don't forget all the other concubines just because you favor one person.
Today's fruits and vegetables are ripe, and all concubines can benefit from them.
"Guanyin Maid, eat more. If these fruits and vegetables are eaten regularly, they will also be of great benefit to the body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two were talking and laughing, chatting and talking about other interesting things.
My daughter is in the palace. She walks around the palace every day and has dedicated staff to take care of her.
Soon, my daughter would also give birth, and good news came one after another, which made me unable to help but sing a song.
This year is truly a fruitful and festive year.
Just when he finished sighing and was about to get up and leave, an internal official hurried over to him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Panting, he ran up to him, and before he could react, he hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, please go check it out!"
Hearing this big news, Li Er hurriedly put his things aside, got up and hurried towards the direction of Tai Chi Hall.
Arriving at Taiji Hall, I saw the soldiers who came to deliver the message.
"Your Majesty, the southwest border pass is 800 miles away and is urgent."
