Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Another thing is to expand the scale of imperial examinations."

After Li Shimin's voice fell, Changsun Wuji and others knew that the meat show was coming, and this should be the reason why His Majesty was anxious about them.

However, when it came to the word imperial examination, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but frown, and continued to expand the scale of the imperial examination. Wouldn't this give more poor families a chance.

Changsun Wuji just wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of what happened to his uncle before, and couldn't help laughing bitterly in his heart. It turned out that His Majesty had already dug a hole to wait for him.

After Li Shimin's voice paused for a while, he continued to speak out, saying all the methods Shu An said before.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help but feel that his father-in-law's method was good, and he thought about it carefully after returning to the palace.

The finishing touch is martial arts. You must know that the influence of the aristocratic family is now on the side of Shilin. Although they are married to generals, these are not within the scope of influence of the aristocratic family.

This can be regarded as another way for the common people, and the pioneering work of Juren is also good, even if it is a small official, it is a good start.

When the emperor's voice fell completely, Changsun Wuji and the others frowned and began to think.

If the scale of the imperial examination is expanded, it will indeed allow the common people to have a bright future, and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be more stable.

However, as a member of the gentry, neither Changsun Wuji nor Du Ruhui and the others didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin looked at the tangled faces of the people and smiled inwardly. He naturally knew where the three of them were tangled.

"I have no objection."

A flash of light flashed in Du Ruhui's eyes, and he was the first to speak, with a hint of determination in his words.

Because Du Ruhui is a smart person, all his achievements now are following this Majesty, and there is no interest involved behind him.

Although he was born in a gentry family and could be counted as a member of the Longxi gentry family, in fact, because of his small family, he did not have much influence.

After Du Ruhui's voice sounded, it was Changsun Wuji's turn to get entangled. One representative was from the nobles of Longxi, and the other was from the Shandong gentry.

"This is just a suggestion from me. Go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it in a few days."

Li Shimin's eyes did not change and continued to speak, but he nodded to Du Ruhui.

When the three of Changsun Wuji walked out of the palace, except for Du Ruhui, the two of them had heavy hearts written all over their faces.

Don't look down on saying that we will discuss it in a few days. In fact, a decision has been made. Du Ruhui couldn't help but sigh slightly as he looked at the two of them.

"Auxiliary machine, Xuanling, don't forget how we got our current status."

After Du Ruhui spoke quietly, he got into his own carriage first. Anyway, he had made a statement, so he didn't have so many troubles.

In his opinion, these two people were influenced by the aristocratic families behind them, what made him and others be treated equally in front of the aristocratic families.

It is not the influence of their own family, but the current official position and His Majesty's favor. These two people are a bit fanatic of the authorities.

Chapter 71 Time, Legacy

Shufu

"Teacher, do you think some people are dissatisfied?"

Sitting on the stone bench, Du Ruhui's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

After Du Ruhui left the palace, he didn't go back to the mansion immediately, instead he came to Shu'an's mansion.

There was no change in Shu An's eyes, but he did not. Li Shimin had just left in the morning, and Du Ruhui arrived before noon.

The key is to talk about it with him, isn't this what I told Li Shimin in the morning.

I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so decisive, but his reaction to Du Ruhui's was a bit novel.

Even he didn't expect that Du Ruhui would directly support Li Shimin, and he didn't even think about it. Is this Du Ruhui above history?

But it should be said that he was influenced by himself, as for how Du Ruhui was alone in history, there is no detailed record.

Especially after Zhenguan, there are very few records of how Du Ruhui was. After all, Zhenguan died of illness four years earlier in history.

"Everyone has their own choice, right?"

Facing Du Ruhui's words, Shu An said slowly, he didn't have much opinion on this matter.

Just as some of his students came from aristocratic families and some from poor families, it can be said that everyone has a different identity.

But Shu An has never cared about his students, maybe this is the idea that there is no one to teach.

He will not look up to students from a family, nor will he look down on students who come from a poor family.

Du Ruhui had known his teacher's opinion for a long time, so he was not surprised by what the teacher said, he was just speaking from the bottom of his heart.

There are not many people who can make him confide in his heart, and the teacher in front of him is considered one, so there is no need to worry about the other effects of saying these words.

"It's okay to choose the auxiliary machine like this, but Xuan Ling has let me down."

Du Ruhui said with a hint of emotion in his eyes, after all, although he and Changsun Wuji both worshiped the same teacher.

But it doesn't mean that two people are familiar with each other. On the contrary, two people often face each other sometimes. If the only thing they agree with is something related to the teacher.

And Fang Xuanling was one of his few friends, he didn't expect to be as hesitant as Changsun Wuji, originally thought he would be the same as himself.

"Xuanling is not as carefree as you. He has a lot of connections with the Shandong gentry behind him."

Shu An shook his head slightly and said, he did not agree with Du Ruhui's words, Fang Xuanling's hesitation proved his wisdom.

This lack of words is to give yourself a buffer time. Of course, there are gains and losses. It is impossible to have a balance between Li Shimin and the gentry.

Li Shimin is not a fool, Fang Xuanling still has to make a choice in the end, it may be delayed for a while now, but it cannot be delayed for a lifetime.

Du Ruhui also fell silent. In fact, he also came from a noble family, so he naturally understood the reason behind it.

"Actually, the imperial examination system is not a good thing for the aristocratic family."

Shu An looked at the silent students and said involuntarily, with a mysterious smile on his face.

After the words fell, Du Ruhui was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't understand what his teacher was thinking.

"Actually, Emperor Sui Yang was not bad."

Shu An didn't continue talking about the previous topic, but said something inexplicably.

It's just that Du Ruhui was also puzzled, as if he couldn't figure out what his teacher wanted to say.

"Why do you think both Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui suppressed the aristocratic family?"

Facing the doubts of his students, Shu An didn't feel any surprise but continued to ask.

When Du Ruhui heard this question, he couldn't help but think about why he wanted to suppress the aristocratic family.

"Because the aristocratic family hindered the development of the Sui Dynasty."

After a while, Du Ruhui couldn't help saying, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

After all, aristocratic families control most of the resources. If the dynasty wants to develop, it will inevitably affect the interests of these aristocratic families. The two are inevitable and cannot be reconciled.

For example, the Sui Dynasty implemented the policy of enclosing households, requiring thorough investigations to prevent nobles from concealing their population, and dividing large households so that aristocratic families could relocate separately, weakening their influence.

There is also a reporting system and so on. If A reports that B has concealed a man, then A’s tax and labor will be borne by B, which has a lot of temptation for the common people.

These seriously damaged the interests of the aristocratic family, and also planted the seeds of the Sui Dynasty's demise.

And now His Majesty is also facing this problem after ascending the throne, but compared to the Sui Dynasty, the influence of the aristocratic family has been weakened a lot.

"Yes, it is inevitable for the family to be suppressed. Don't you think His Majesty doesn't have the courage to do so?"

Shu An's eyes flickered and his voice sounded, and Du Ruhui also thought about it, he didn't think that His Majesty doesn't have such courage.

"If the imperial examination system allows the common people to rise, then a court balance can be achieved."

"If an aristocratic family wants to survive forever, it must learn to assess the situation, rather than develop blindly."

"For aristocratic families, time is the greatest wealth, and everything else can be given up."

"Too powerful is not necessarily a good thing, but it is not beautiful to be a thorn in the side of the ruler."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, but this time Du Ruhui was stunned, because it was the first time he had heard this theory.

Du Ruhui had always believed that the imperial examination system would harm the interests of the aristocratic family, but after hearing what the teacher said today, he couldn't help but feel that the imperial examination system seemed to be good.

Especially the sentence that time is the greatest wealth made Du Ruhui suddenly realize that if the family inheritance is gone, then what else is there.

On the contrary, if it is passed on for several generations, it will naturally have wealth and influence, and it can also become a big family.

Du Ruhui didn't want the Du family to become a family with five surnames and seven kings. It would be great if it could become a big family in the world.

Now the teacher's words made him see clearly the next path the Du family will take, which is to seek stability rather than profit.

If there are too many benefits, if it is hot, then if you take it, it will bury hidden dangers for the family in the future. On the contrary, if it is stable, it can be passed down for generations.

With these two choices, one is for the influence of the time, and the other is the foundation of the family's development. Now that Du Ruhui thinks that the family is too prosperous, it is really not a good thing.

"Besides, it's not that His Majesty didn't leave opportunities for the family members."

"For example, the clan chronicles will be revised after 20 years, and the imperial examination system can restrict the admission of aristocratic families."

"If you are arrogant, then it is the real decline. The original knowledge is in the hands of the aristocratic family, and the advantage has been in their hands from the beginning."

Shu An's eyes showed a trace of confusion and he said slowly, in his opinion, if these aristocratic families obtain fame and become officials in a down-to-earth manner, there is basically no problem in inheriting them.

Chapter 72 Heavy Gold, Bravery

Du Ruhui didn't stay in his teacher's residence for long, and he got a lot of inspiration from his teacher.

"I hope Keming can pay more attention to the development of his own family."

Shu An couldn't help murmuring softly, Du Ruhui is the type who can't teach his son well.

Even after death, there is no peace, especially Du He's instigation of the crown prince's rebellion is really ignorant.

But whether the prince will rebel now is another matter, but if Du Ruhui is educated according to history, the Du family will definitely decline.

Because there is a cheating son, this is undoubtedly what he is talking about.

Shu An didn't think much about this matter, instead, it wasn't him who was troubled, but Li Shimin and others.

"It's a pity that after Rengui left, he still needs to recruit another martial artist. I don't know if there is any good news from Kuanghu."

Shu An couldn't help thinking of another thing and murmured softly. Originally, he wanted Xue Rengui to be the head coach after the academy opened.

He hoped that the students who came out of the academy would be capable of both literature and martial arts, and not those empty-talking scholars.

Chang'an Street Tea House

"Is An Xuangong going to recruit guards?"

"If you pass, the monthly payment is five taels of silver."

"It's a pity that I don't know martial arts, otherwise I will give it a try."

.........

One after another voices of discussion sounded, instantly attracting passers-by and common people.

It turned out that the Shu'an Teahouse posted a recruitment notice. You must know that the teahouse is located on the main street of Chang'an, where it is bustling.

As soon as it was posted, it attracted the attention of countless people, especially the five taels of silver, even many people were moved, and they also had the opportunity to meet the world-famous Duke Anxuan.

You might be able to hear some teachings from Duke Anxuan from time to time, but it's a pity that you need someone with high martial arts skills, so most people present shook their heads.

Pedestrians gathered in groups one after another, some of them thought they were good at martial arts, and stepped forward to compete with Shu Kuanghu who was at the side, but they were defeated in just two moves.

"Isn't there a brave man under a lot of money?"

Shu Kuanghu couldn't help thinking silently, with a hint of disappointment on his face.

Ordinary people's homes only cost one tael of silver a year. Although it is only enough for food and clothing, it is not bad for the people.

What's more, this is five taels of silver a month, and 60 taels of silver a year. It can be said that even Chang'an can live a good life.

A young man in the crowd looked at the notice with some hesitation, even he didn't expect to come to Chang'an again.

It's just that a penny can't beat a hero, which undoubtedly refers to the current situation of the young man. Because he saw the victims along the road, he scattered all the money he brought.

"Otherwise, give it a try."

The young man felt that he seemed to be a little hungry and couldn't help thinking silently. In addition, his hands were also itchy, and he was happy to see Lie.

As a martial arts practitioner, he could tell at the first glance that the manager who recruited people did not manage them, and he could see his profound skills with a few simple moves, which would have been impossible without more than ten years of hard training.

After thinking of this, the young man stepped forward without any hesitation. Both the former and the latter gave him an irresistible reason.

"I'll give it a try!"
