Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 184
When the clans are wiped out, there must be winners.

Li Shimin felt comfortable in the court, he lost his restraint, and he could make drastic changes to Datang.

The civil and military officials have more opportunities, and the humble scholars have the opportunity to read sage books and become officials in the court.

As for Liu Sheng, the shops under his hands quickly monopolized the entire Chang'an city.

Without the competition of five surnames and seven wangs, Liu Sheng's business has become more and more prosperous, and it is not too much to make money every day.

Compared with before, Liu Sheng has less control over money now. After all, money is worthless when it is beyond count.

"Come and take a look, Baiweilou is on sale again!"

This kind of promotion activities became very frequent after the downfall of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs. Even though there was no competition, Liu Sheng's business skills were still prevailing.

Regarding the downfall of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, the common people have never lacked resources to talk about, but gradually, they don't know when it started.

The matter of the five surnames and seven wangs is becoming less and less known, and has even gradually become a taboo.

However, Liu Sheng's shop is still a legend in Chang'an City.

"Really, there are a lot of promotions in Baiweilou recently?"

"Of course, you don't know. At that time, we thought that the store of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs would go bankrupt, and the price would increase, but unexpectedly, the price has not changed!"

"Indeed, in comparison, this Baiweilou is very conscientious."

The reason why the prices of Baiweilou, Linglongfang and Jubao Pavilion have not changed is because no matter what the price is, they will always make money.

It has to be said that this is a sad story for the common people.

But few people can think of this.

They only know that after the disappearance of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, the prices of these shops have not increased, and they have become very close to the people, and the quality is impeccable.

When Liu Sheng was around, of course it was, but if Liu Sheng wasn't around, we don't know what history would have turned into.

"What's going on with Five Surnames and Seven Wangs? Why haven't I heard of anything?"

Someone asked curiously. Although he was a little hot on this topic, he was still very curious.

As for the others, after hearing about this topic, although they were very curious in their hearts, they still exercised restraint.

Only some daring people will unscrupulously tell what they saw and heard at the beginning:
"Let me tell you, what happened at the time was like this..."

The others were fascinated by it, but they naturally clapped their hands and applauded because they didn't have the slightest affection for the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

And they also expressed their gratitude to the imperial court for what they did. They didn't have any regrets about the destruction of the five surnames and Qiwang.

However, after the man finished speaking, no one saw him again.

Over time, this news gradually disappeared.

In business, Liu Sheng made a lot of money, and in government affairs, Liu Sheng was promoted step by step. Even he didn't know why he was promoted to the Minister of Rites.

He couldn't understand this official position, but the civil and military officials in the court surprisingly did not object this time.

This made Liu Sheng aware that something was wrong, but in public, he had no way to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and take this official position.

Could it be that everyone else is full and that's why I'm being asked to take over this position?
He knew something about the predecessor in this position. It was said that the other party was also a person with five surnames and seven wangs, and something happened.

So this position was reserved for him, and he was promoted from Chang'an County Magistrate to the current Minister of Rites in one fell swoop.

What's more, the imperial court ordered him that he only needs to be in charge of the imperial examination, and he can ignore everything else. He even needs to serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an County.

We have something to do with Chang'an County, right?
Sometimes he also wonders if he is too talkative, so Li Shimin gives him any official position.

However, regarding the matter of being in charge of the imperial examination, Li Shimin still considered it carefully. The other party believed that since the original rule was proposed by Liu Sheng, it should be handed over to Liu Sheng to implement.

If the new imperial examination system is useful, it is also a good thing for the court.

But if the matter is not successful, then Liu Sheng will naturally bear the responsibility.

Anyway, there are pros and cons, it depends on how one thinks about it, as long as the selection of this imperial examination is done well, then Liu Sheng will be considered a success.

Soon, the time came to the day of the imperial examination.

There are countless poor students, many of whom are from other places. There are not enough books in their places, so they can only come to Chang'an City to study.

By the way, let's take another exam to get a fame.

Many people have met Liu Sheng. When Liu Sheng was the person in charge, many scholars from poor families took the initiative to bow to Liu Sheng and say hello.

This made Liu Sheng also experience a different feeling, and he can be regarded as the half teacher of these people.

"Liu Consort... Oh no, Liu Shilang!"

The deputy examiner came over and looked at Liu Sheng who was surrounded by countless scholars, with envy on his face. That feeling made them, the deputy examiners, feel very complicated.

"What can I do about it? This Junxian Pavilion was built by others, and this printing technique was also provided by others. He is even the person in charge!"

Another person was convinced:
"What's more, he is still a son-in-law, and his reputation in Chang'an County is unprecedented. There is no way for us ordinary people to compare."

"Liu Shilang, the time is about to begin." After the humble scholars entered, several deputy examiners walked up to Liu Sheng and said:
"Let's go in too!"

Liu Sheng waved his hand and said casually:

"The order of the examination room needs to be carefully controlled by you. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me..."

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, several people remembered what Liu Sheng had done in Chang'an County, and suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Could it be that this Concubine Liu... oh no, is Liu Shilang wanting to fish again?

Sure enough, as expected, Liu Sheng spread out a reclining chair outside the examination room, and then lay down on it leisurely, watching the corners of their mouths twitching.

But he is the main person in charge, and his background is very big, which makes them helpless.

He could only helplessly respond:
"Humble job, I'm resigning!"

Several people left, entered the examination room and began to maintain order in the examination room.

The reason why Liu Sheng didn't have to worry about it was because the order of the examination room is stricter than that of later generations. If those candidates can plagiarize from the compartment, they are considered to be very good.

So, that's why he was relieved.

What's more, he didn't want to come, but Li Shimin forced him to come, and he was also used to fishing.

The imperial examination was carried out smoothly this time, and many talents were selected. No matter how well Liu Sheng did, he was still worthy of the title of half-master.
