Li Xian is no stranger to water transportation. In fact, in his previous life, when he came to the throne for the second time, he spent countless efforts to rectify water transportation. As for the method, it is not much different from what Li Xian said. , but after five years of hard work, there was not much result, and the huge cost was really scary. As for later generations, when he was involved in officialdom, because of his work, Li Xian also looked up the water transportation strategies of previous dynasties. It is a theoretical "water transport", but even so, Li Xian dare not say that he can manage water transport well in three years, let alone someone like Li Xian who is obviously lacking in experience. In terms of Li Xian's ability , let alone three years, even ten years may not be successful. Under such a strange situation, how can there be so much time for Li Xian to squander.
"Sixth brother is a great talent. I can trust your words, but..." He knew that Li Xian was bragging, but Li Xian couldn't point it out in person. He could only adopt the method of promoting first and suppressing later, deliberately saying only Half of it.
"It's just nothing. Seventh brother, if you have any opinions, please tell me directly. I can't stand guessing riddles." Li Xian confidently proposed a plan to improve water transportation. He thought that as soon as his ambition came out, Li Xian would It was time to bow down, but I didn't expect that Li Xian had been there to tactfully object to his grand plan. Naturally, he got a little angry, and with a straight face, he said something rude.
"Brother Six, three years is a thousand days. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is certainly a good thing for Brother Six to be diligent in government affairs, but will others sit back and watch? If there is a change, what should I do? What's going on?" Li Xian didn't want to quarrel with Li Xian, and since he couldn't raise questions about the plan itself, he could only lead the question to the prince's possible reaction in a roundabout way, so he made a vague comment.
"Does he dare? This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. I don't believe that he dares to be so heartless and crazy, huh!" Although Li Xian said it in a vague way, Li Xian was not a fool. He knew what others were referring to in Li Xian's words as soon as he heard it. It was Prince Li Hong. He immediately became angry. He clapped his hands several times, jumped up, and almost shouted at the top of his lungs. His handsome face was distorted into something ferocious.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness, what happened?"
Li Xian's sudden commotion was too loud. Gao Miao and Zhang Che, who were waiting outside the door, hurriedly led the guards from their respective houses into the room, almost each other. At the same time, he asked loudly.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Li Xian was so angry that he didn't allow everyone to get in the way. He waved his hands angrily and shouted angrily. The two eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they had to quickly lead their men out of the room again. .
"If you walk upright and sit upright, how can you be afraid of that villain doing random things? Huh, how can it be so? How can it be so reasonable!" Li Xian paced back and forth in the room angrily, muttering incessantly, it seemed like He was confident and confident. In fact, he was obviously worried. Originally, Li Xian and the prince were not on good terms. The two sides were life-and-death competitors. As for the vassal, it was the prince who took action. If the canal transport succeeds this time, Li Xian's strength will definitely increase greatly. Under such circumstances, how can the prince sit back and watch? Taking action is an inevitable choice. When that time comes, , the fun would be great.
Oh, this kid recognized it in his heart, and he still kept it on his lips. He was really a cooked duck! Seeing Li Xian babbling there, Li Xian laughed secretly in his heart, but his face was calm. He didn't open his mouth to argue, he just sat upright and let Li Xian vent to his heart's content.
"Does Seventh Brother have any good ideas for this?" Li Xian made a fuss for a while. Seeing that Li Xian didn't respond, he couldn't help but feel bored. He sat back in his original position angrily. After being silent for a long time with a dark face, some people said gloomily. asked.
Okay, let’s stop making trouble? Let’s get down to business. Seeing that Li Xian had calmed down, Li Xian immediately smiled and said: “Brother Six, as the saying goes: things have their own priorities. In my opinion, Brother Six’s top priority now is to stand up for himself. The court must have a reputation for quick results. As for the water transportation, let's put it off for now. Even if it must be done, by the time we get to this chapter, people will rush to do it. You and I can just watch the excitement."
"Well, this..." When Li Xian heard that Li Xian was going to leave the water transportation matter to the prince, he immediately became angry and glared at Li Xian. He was about to get angry, but suddenly stopped and rolled his eyes wildly. He got up, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly laughed loudly and said, "How good that your seventh brother can plan like this, good, good, very good!"
Well, it's natural. When this chapter comes, the prince will be worried that Li Xian will become powerful, and it will be inevitable to intercept him. If Li Xian quietly comes up with a trick and tells the prince about the water transportation, If it goes well, it's Li Xian's idea. If it doesn't go well, it's because the prince did something wrong. In this way, with credit, Li Xian is the first one to do it. Is there any fault? , I'm sorry, you, Li Hong, just carry it on your own. After calculation, it is really a matter of great benefit and no harm. There is no reason for Li Xian not to be extremely excited.
"Sixth Brother will do it if he thinks it's good." Water transportation is related to the safety of the country. Naturally, Li Xian can't just let it go. Once the prince really takes over, even if the prince doesn't ask, Li Xian will have to come up with the idea. When the time is right, you have to make some plans. In short, you can't let the matter go unnoticed, but you are not in a hurry. Of course, there is no need to tell Li Xian at this time, so he smiled lightly and agreed casually, He directly changed the topic: "Sixth brother, from my point of view, the water transport success is great, but it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. There is not much praise for Sixth brother to join the court. I am not talented. I have been thinking about a few strategies in private, which may be of some use to Sixth Brother."
"Oh? Seventh Brother, please tell me if you have any clever ideas." After so many incidents, Li Xian was convinced of Li Xian's ability. At this time, although Li Xian came up with random ideas, Li Xian did not dare to He looked at it blindly, was stunned for a moment, and immediately hurriedly asked.
"Brother Six, I have a question that I don't know whether to raise or not?" Li Xian was not in a hurry to explain his strategy, but asked with a solemn expression and a hint of hesitation.
"What the seventh brother said, you and I are brothers. There is no question that cannot be asked, but it doesn't matter." Seeing Li Xian's strange question, Li Xian couldn't help showing a suspicious look and glanced at Li Xian. Seeing that Li Xian's face was solemn and he didn't look like he was joking, he answered with a straight face.
"Well, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I would like to ask Sixth Brother, who does the Guanlong family care about today? If Sixth Brother fights with that person, who will win?" Li Xian cupped his hand to apologize, but he asked the question.
But the words were not so pleasant. At least for Li Xian, this question was really harsh. His face instantly darkened when he heard it, and the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, as if anger suddenly burst out in his heart.
"Seventh brother asked a good question. In terms of talents, although Gu thinks he is not inferior to others, but, alas, the situation is such that in terms of efforts among the aristocratic families, Gu is indeed not as good as that guy." Li Xian's chest rose and fell fiercely a few times.
Next, he finally resisted the urge to get angry and replied with a dark face.
"Sixth brother said it well. The situation is like this. It has nothing to do with hard work. Due to the limitations of actual status, it is impossible to be stronger than others. However, there is not only one road in the world. This road is not accessible. It is better to take another road. Little brother.
There is a strategy that might work." Li Xian smiled confidently and spoke.
"Seriously?" Over the years, Li Xian has been secretly wooing officials from big families from the Guanlong family. Unfortunately, the results have been little. The ones he can win over are just stragglers. Compared with Li Xian, who has not yet started, he is
He is a lot stronger, but compared to the prince, he is far behind the old nose. He worries about this every day. Unfortunately, he can't find a way to deal with it. This time, Li Xian actually has another trick.
, since he became more interested, he started asking questions anxiously.
"Look at what Sixth Brother is asking, do you think I'm a liar?" Li Xian still didn't rush to say it, and said in a show-off manner.
"Seventh brother has misunderstood. Being a brother is not what I mean. Alas, this matter is so important that we must not joke about it. Just say it quickly." Li Xian was made to feel itchy and angry by Li Xian's appetizing behavior.
He glared at Li Xian and hurriedly urged him.
"Sixth brother, don't be anxious, my younger brother said so." After Li Xian whetted Li Xian's appetite, he laughed and said: "It has been three dynasties since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After many years of recuperation, the people have become richer. Not only are they accustomed to
The style of martial arts is not declining, and the style of writing is becoming more and more prosperous day by day. There are many aspiring scholars, all of whom are determined to serve the country. There are many leftovers everywhere. However, our policy of recruiting scholars has not changed for many years, and only those who succeed in each subject are
There are only a few dozen, and they are all white-headed. Are there really no wise people among the people? Damn it! If there is no change, it is a small matter that many aspiring people have no way to serve the country. I am afraid that in the long run, there will be chaos. The times have changed and the world has changed, so reform is appropriate.
!”
"Huh?" Li Xian couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing Li Xian's long speech - Li Xian was smart and could not fail to see the changes in the government and the opposition, let alone Li Xian's proposed reform of the imperial examination.
The purpose of Li Xian is nothing more than to ask Li Xian to draw materials from poor scholars so as to gain a possible chance to compete with Li Hong. In Li Xian's view, logically speaking, this path is not unfeasible.
It's just that it's not that easy to leave. Without him, as long as Li Xian dares to make such a suggestion in court, he will definitely offend the Guanlong family deeply. After all, if there are too many poor people in the court, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of the powerful children to serve as officials.
, the risks involved are not low. In other words, it is one thing whether this road will lead to failure, but whether the huge price to be paid is worth it is another matter. As a prince who aspires to the throne, Li Xian
I had to consider the pros and cons and trade-offs. After thinking about it, I became numb, and my brows furrowed into a capital "Chuan".
