Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 23 Successfully Joining the Qin King's Forces
Seeing these well-known masters in later generations, who were stunned speechless in the face of his few words, Luo Yan was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, even though he plagiarized Mr. Hengqu's famous words, there is nothing wrong with Luo Yan being coerced by the system.Do you want him to say in front of these big bosses, ah, I wanted my wife and children to be hot on the kang, but I was coerced by the system. If I want to become the 24th hero of Lingyan Pavilion like you, I have to become a generation of Wenzong.

Luo Yan believed that if he dared to say that, the people present would be able to pull him back and make him a monster without the system taking care of him.Not everyone's IQ is low enough to be fooled casually, especially these people.Can help Li Shimin to the throne, IQ and courage will be less.

After being surprised, everyone began to admire Luo Yan's ambition

"Boy, the Confucian Mansion has over ten thousand books, you can come and borrow them at any time." Kong Yingda was the first to express his opinion.After all, they belonged to the family of Kong Sheng. In all previous wars, with the protection of their ancestors, they always suffered the smallest losses.Therefore, its rich collection of books is probably only comparable to the Secretary Province.Moreover, I am afraid that there are many orphan copies in it, which are the most precious.

Kong Yingda's statement made everyone envious.The family of Confucius had a rich collection of books, and correspondingly, the protection of books was also very strict, and it was basically not easy to borrow them.Although the few people here were able to borrow books from the Confucian Mansion, they were far from being as good as the conditions that Kong Yingda gave to Luo Yan.

The Gai brothers then said: "This really makes my two brothers envious. It is not so easy to borrow the books of Assistant Professor Kong. Last time I borrowed a single copy, and it took two altars of Jiannan to burn it." spring."

After teasing Kong Yingda for being stingy again, Old Master Lu said: "This book is also available. As the saying goes, 'Learn alone without friends, you will be lonely and ignorant'. If you are free, you can come to the Imperial College to find me. You and I The two of you can discuss a thing or two." This is a disguised way to teach Luo Yan.

Master Lu's talent is considered top in Tang Dynasty. If he spread the word that he wants to recruit disciples now, the people queuing up would be able to circle Chang'an City several times.The reason why Luo Yan was not directly accepted as a disciple was because of Luo Yan's growth rate and his future path.Although Master Lu is specialized in knowledge, he can only give Luo Yan some advice in other aspects.

Then came the promises made by Li Xuandao and others in other aspects.Basically, after today, Luo Yan is considered to have officially joined the forces of Prince Qin's Mansion.

But now the problem came up again, since Luo Yan didn't want to sign the memorial to dry salt in sea water, then in whose name should it be sent up.

Now that it was recognized by these people, Luo Yan was unceremonious, and directly expressed his opinion: "The memorial should be written by the King of Qin, and sent to Chang'an quickly, and signed by the King of Qin. In this way, Your Majesty will be in the way of King Qin's face." , will not allow the prince to completely benefit."

Luo Yan's decision was beyond everyone's expectations.Although Luo Yan said just now that he is not sticky to this credit, but according to Luo Yan's current method, he completely picked himself up completely, which made everyone very embarrassed.

"Jinzhi, do you really intend to stay out of the matter? Let me tell you, the memorials we wrote before can be submitted. As for your majesty's reward, you can refuse it on the grounds that you have insufficient qualifications when you first entered the official career. Emperor's heart. This way, it will be easier to deal with transfers or promotions in the future." Since everyone already regarded Luo Yan as a peer, they just called Luo Yan directly, so Li Xuandao persuaded Luo Yan.

"Seniors, you are worrying too much. As the saying goes, those who have great patience must have great plans. At this time, Jane is in the emperor's heart early, and I am afraid that it will grow. The boy is still young, and there are many opportunities for Jane to be in the emperor's heart. Don't be in a hurry " Luo Yan said very arrogantly.

Seeing that Luo Yan already had his own plans, everyone started to discuss the best use of this matter without further ado.

King Qin has always been famous for his military achievements, so compared with the princes who stayed in Chang'an for a long time, the power of civil officials is still weaker.According to Li Yuan's favoritism towards the Prince's family in the past, even if this matter was suggested by the King of Qin, in the end the biggest benefit would still be distributed to the Prince.

Everyone felt helpless for such a passive situation. If you were fighting in Shandong, no matter how partial you Li Yuan was, how dare you be so blatant.It's different when it comes to Chang'an. The game of civilian power is much more complicated than the straight-forward one in the military.

After discussing for a long time, there is no particularly good solution.Everyone fell into deep thought again, and for a while, the private room was so silent that a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

After all, Luo Yan is a junior official, so he is not very familiar with many personnel appointments, so he can only think from the general strategy.Sea salt is a cornucopia. The annual profit made from sea salt is worth one-tenth of the national tax revenue.Considering the large-scale production of sea salt, Luo Yan felt hot in his heart, wondering how much it would cost.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan suddenly became enlightened.I have seen many braid dramas in my previous life, but there is a very important point in it. There are a lot of cases in the Jiangnan officialdom, especially in the Huaiyang area, where officials are so extravagant that they don't use gold as money.And they are going to sink one by one, it is simply a bottomless quagmire.

Now Luo Yan's mind became active.Since you can't get benefits, you can eliminate the other party's vital force, so that's fine.

Salt administration is the country's most important tool, so when the time comes, the lack of new students will be fourth grade.If the prince's side gets this benefit, they will definitely send competent people to handle this matter, then the opportunity will come when the time comes.In this world, there is no interest that cannot impress people's hearts. The only difference is whether the interest is enough or not.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan burst into a smirk.And Luo Yan's laughter startled all the pensive people present.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Luo Yan was also a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm: "The boy has thought of a way, but it's just too sinister, I'm afraid it's not the work of a gentleman."

Fortunately, these people are not pedantic. After all, it is about the game between the two major forces. Sometimes it is not uncommon to use the method of not seeing the table.

"Tell me." Luo Yan's ears suddenly sounded in unison.

"There is a saying in the Art of War that 'If you want to take it, you must first give it'. Salt administration is a major national event. You might as well suggest that His Majesty set up such a yamen in Qin Wang's Memorial to deal with sea salt drying. His Majesty will definitely take care of this. The chief officer of the yamen will send it to the prince for a decision. Given the importance of the salt in the sea, the prince will definitely send capable people to the southeast."

"Oh? Jinzhi is trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

"No, the real killing move is in the back. Since Your Majesty wants the prince's person to be the chief officer, I might as well take advantage of the momentum and say that this salt and iron business has been profitable since ancient times, and someone must supervise it, and recommend a firm mind not to be moved by money. The person in charge is in charge. Presumably within half a year, the crown prince will lose a confidant."

"Doesn't that mean that the sea salt matter is a quagmire?" Soon everyone understood what Luo Yan meant.

"After all, money touches people's hearts. Over the years, the imperial court has repeatedly imposed heavy codes, but private salt is still rampant. This is the reason. In fact, this matter is best done by His Majesty's confidantes, but now that King Qin has too many military achievements, it seems that the prince is in a weak position. , in order to check and balance, His Majesty will definitely distribute the benefits to the prince, and there is no way around that." Luo Yan spoke out his thoughts.

When it came to the situation in the court, everyone present could see it more clearly than Luo Yan, so they all nodded.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that Luo Yan's method was the most suitable one.The distribution of power between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin is very clear, so in the Yanzheng area, it is fine for the King of Qin to push people in, but there must not be anyone in a high position.Then, it would be the most cost-effective to get rid of a confidant of the prince.

Benefits are nothing more than weighing gains and losses.Since it was doomed not to win from the beginning and let the other party lose, then it is also considered a win.

After thinking it over, everyone laughed, and Li Xuandao, who was in charge of government affairs, immediately made a decision, saying that he would write a letter and send it to Shandong immediately after eating.

Based on the principle of being as fast as possible, I didn't drink any alcohol, and after eating something hastily, everyone dispersed.No more people were called to discuss this matter. The people who came today are enough to make a decision.

As for how Luo Yan knew other people from the Qin Palace, everyone decided to wait for the Qin King's squadron to return to the court, and then meet with those generals.

On the way back to Kaihuafang, Luo Yan showed joy.Just now, the system sent a reminder that the first stage of the mission of adding fragrance to the red sleeves has been completed, and at the same time started the second stage of the mission: show off your talents in front of Li Shimin, and gain Li Shimin's appreciation.

Well, thinking about it, this task is quite simple. With my own statement, I am afraid that Li Shimin should be deeply impressed by himself at this moment.As for the meeting, anyway, according to the "Book of Tang", Li Shimin will be able to return to the court in July, which is only three months from now, which is not very long.

However, there is also a difficulty for Luo Yan, that is, what kind of talent should Li Shimin see?Power or literary talent, this is an important question.

It stands to reason that what I am best at should be literary talent.But if you want to get Li Shimin's appreciation, it is far from enough to have literature alone. If you want to successfully participate in the Xuanwu Gate Change, it is best to rely on power and skill.

Although this is Luo Yan's shortcoming, but who is Luo Yan, he is the lucky one who has a whole book of "Tang Shu" in his head. Presumably, he has the foresight and foresight to make targeted suggestions. Luo Yan can still ask himself. did it.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan made up his mind to read more history books before Li Shimin's class teacher returned to the court.Although this may affect the speed of the task of breaking ten thousand volumes of reading, Luo Yan is confident that there will be no delay.Recently, with the increase in reading volume, my ability to understand ancient prose is also increasing. Presumably, the time limit for the next phase of the task will be greatly extended, so it doesn't matter much.
