Chat Group of Myriad Worlds of Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin stood on Zhuque Street, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Oops, this kid is going to attack Wuji!"

"That's his own uncle."

Li Ke was sitting in Yong'an Garden at this time, and Wei Zheng didn't say much beside Li Ke, but reported his completion today in a serious manner.

"Your Highness, I have done as you said. Now Chang'an is full of storytellers. The actions of the salt merchants aroused the anger of the people. I am afraid that they have lost the hearts of the people."

Li Ke nodded: "The public opinion is the foundation."

In any era, even if your business is extremely partial, you cannot do without public opinion.

People's support is the key. If it goes against public opinion, even if it is an excellent business, it may not last long.

But if you follow the public opinion, the people will not let you suffer.

Doing business is very similar to the rule of the past dynasties, but the additions are different.

Money is attached to business, pure profit.

And state rule comes with rights, another form of interest.

Wei Zheng thought about it, and seemed to hesitate to speak some words.

"Just say what you have to say." Li Ke saw Wei Zheng's embarrassment and expression, and said with a smile.

Wei Zheng sighed: "What your Highness has done this time is very satisfying, but Wei Zheng is a little worried, that is, there may be different voices in the court."

Li Ke seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Wei Zheng seemed to have only seen this kind of expression on some people in the court.

Those people smiled but didn't smile, they were confident in everything, behind them, there was a strong foundation to support them, they could face His Majesty without changing their expressions, and they could also face the crowd of ridicule without changing their expressions.

But in private, whether it is His Majesty or the crowd of people who ridicule him, he will be deflated.

Seeing such a look on Li Ke's face now, Wei Zheng was in a daze for a moment. Could this be His Highness?
His Highness is so young, and the city is extremely deep, which does not match his age at all.

There is only one thought in Wei Zheng's mind: evildoer.

"Since the people in the court have voices, let them speak."

"Nobody keeps them from talking."

"But you know, they talk more and do less. You are different. You do more and talk less."

"The result is the best response."

Wei Zheng was still worried, even though he understood the reason very well.

"Your Highness, Datang is currently in short supply of talents. If they are affected, it will inevitably form resistance in the dark. Your Highness does not know. Your Majesty needs support to implement the New Deal."

Li Ke sneered: "Stop it? Are they worthy?"

"Great country, surging public opinion, they are like struggling ants, trying to protect their nests in the face of the flood."

"Do you think that's possible?"

Li Ke got up, "Without them, Datang would be better."

"The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. One day they were there, and the long embankment of the Tang Dynasty will be corroded by them one day."

Li Ke also knows that it is easy to reform a newly established country, and it has only been ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it is too late to reform now.

If it waits for a few decades and the interests are deeply ingrained, it will be difficult at that time.

After Li Ke finished speaking, Li Shimin rushed in in a hurry. When he saw Wei Zheng was there, Li Shimin waved his hand to signal Wei Zheng to leave.

The cold wind blew through the treetops, and the sunlight in the gaps between the branches and leaves of the tall trees in the palace shone on Li Shimin's face, which was uncertain and flickering.

"Ke'er, you're going too far."

"Father, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Why let those salt merchants die completely, they are still useful."

Li Ke raised his head, "It turned out to be this, Father, what do you think is the use of keeping them?"

Li Shimin froze for a moment, "Ke'er, once you say this, you will be held responsible."

Li Ke smiled: "Joke, when did I say I don't take responsibility?"

"It's about the national economy and the people's livelihood. How many people in the world have complained about them, don't they deserve to die?"

Li Shimin fell into deep thought, this is a knife, sooner or later it will fall.

"Now that the low-priced salt has started to be sold, the national treasury will soon be full. Ke'er, even so, can't leave a word for those people."

"What do you want to do, I know."

Li Ke discovered that Li Shimin, an old fritter, was really smart, and he couldn't be emperor if he was not smart.

But this time, Changsun Wuji was doomed. Even if he did not die, he would have to withdraw from political disputes and become a useless person.

"Since father already knows what I'm going to do, don't ask any more."

"Talking about things like this is just a drizzle compared to talking about public opinion."

"If the public opinion depends on you, you are the emperor. If the public opinion is not in your favor, they will have more excuses to overthrow you."

"Don't forget, even if you have the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, even if you can Fengshan in Shandong, even if you can force their heads to make them eat shit, but as long as you are there for a day, they will have the intention of letting you eat."

Li Shimin fell into deep thought. If he didn't follow Li Ke's method, it would mean that the knife fell slower, and when the court exchanged blood, the world would naturally be peaceful.

But Li Ke's knife is like a strong medicine, and it may kill Datang.

"Human, what should I do? I'm worried about this."

"So, this imperial examination must be fair!"

When Li Ke waved his hand, a long picture appeared, "This imperial examination, from top to bottom, is arranged in this way, and the system is changed, so that the scholars of the world can stand in front of you in a righteous way. Talented people will be employed, and mediocre talents will be discarded."

In the long scroll, Li Ke decomposed the map drawn by the imperial examination into boxes one after another, and each box contained a position or a certain level.

"No. [-] scholar, Huiyuan, Xieyuan..."

"State capitals, places... hiss..."

"Ke'er, so you've already thought about it!"

Li Shimin suddenly had tears in his eyes. He had thought about this situation countless times, and now it was so easy to solve in front of Li Ke.

This idea is brand-new, that is, a child has been arranged along the way from the beginning of school to the child, scholar, candidate, and Jinshi.

"Okay, okay, in this way, from the localities to Chang'an, all places have a system for selecting talents."

"Okay, Ke'er, this method is good!"

Li Ke looked up leisurely: "How about it, how much are you going to spend? This is a huge profit."

Li Shimin immediately showed a flattering look, "Ke'er, I am also the king of a country after all, and this kind of method benefits the country and the people, so why don't you feel sorry for me and make it cheaper?"

"That can't be done. This is my painstaking effort, and I have to pay more!"

Li Ke couldn't help but say that when he said more money, Li Shimin smiled wryly: "Okay, more money! 1 taels of gold!"

"2 taels! Don't sell any less!"

Is 2 taels a lot?Compared with the eloquent talents, Li Shimin doesn't feel that many.
