Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Wang Gui whispered.

I want to take the opportunity to leave the palace.

He wanted to save face for the Wang family.

Also very dissatisfied with Fang Yuan, wanting to take this opportunity to teach Fang Yuan a lesson.

But it was obvious that he came at the wrong time, Du Ruhui and the other three were all the emperor's confidantes, following him to conquer the world.

Now is not the time to save face.

"What's the hurry, Xiang Wang? I'm here. I just have something I want to discuss with Xiang Wang."

Li Shimin called Wang Gui with a blank expression.

Wang Gui's ability to be a servant is a little insufficient.

But considering that Wang Gui might have mastered the property left by Prince Yin, Li Shimin forcibly promoted him.

Because Wang Gui was related to the Wang family in Taiyuan, there were very few people who opposed him in the court, so Wang Gui became a servant without any resistance.

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly."

Wang Gui said embarrassingly.

Thinking about what Li Shimin was going to say.

"I want to attach importance to the imperial examination and implement the imperial examination in an all-round way. I don't know what the king's opinion is?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Since the last chat with Fang Yuan, he has been thinking about the imperial examination.

It is certain that the implementation of the imperial examination and the emphasis on the imperial examination will be able to disintegrate the control of the aristocratic family over the local area.

For example, what happened in Liaozhou this time, if there is no Fang Yuan, if someone else is the governor, the Wang family and his son may have succeeded.

Because they are all local aristocratic families, the county magistrates of the three counties are not only members of the county, but also members of Liaozhou. After their Liaozhou aristocratic families have discussed it, they can start.

But at this time, if there are more officials who are not local or from various families, then they will not agree to this happening, and the families will help.

In order to release the aristocratic family's control of the local area as soon as possible, Li Shimin decided to implement the imperial examination from now on.

It just so happened that using the momentum of withdrawing Pei Ji, more people's opposition would be reduced.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a relic of the previous dynasty, why not take it too seriously?"

"History may say that there is no one in our Tang Dynasty, and we will only copy things from the previous dynasty."

Wang Gui pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you carefully consider it!"

Du Ruhui stood up and said.

He didn't know in advance that the imperial court should attach importance to imperial examinations.

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling also spoke one after another.

Obviously, it was the first time that the four ministers present knew that Li Shimin had the idea of ​​attaching importance to the imperial examination.

"The tyranny of the Sui Dynasty was attacked by all the people in the world. This is the will of the people in the world."

"However, the Sui Dynasty also has things that we can learn from in the Tang Dynasty, and there are things that we can learn from."

"We don't deny the goodness of one thing, nor cover up the badness of one thing. As long as there is something worth learning about, we can learn from it."

"I want to attach importance to the imperial examination and promote the imperial examination, starting from all provinces, prefectures and counties, order the imperial court to vigorously publicize it, at least until the villagers know that the imperial court attaches great importance to the imperial examination."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

His eyes gradually became sharper.

Apart from Wang Gui, Du Ruhui and the others can be said to be the most trustworthy group.

But even the most trustworthy group is the one who opposes the emphasis and implementation of the imperial examination.

Because they are essentially from major families, and they have thousands of interests behind them.

"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court is about to launch a war against the Eastern Turks, will the imperial examination be gradually planned?"

Wang Gui pondered for a moment, but still didn't want to agree.

The imperial examination is of great importance, which has triggered the interests of too many aristocratic families.

The demise of the former dynasty is also partly due to the implementation of the imperial examination.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Du Ruhui and the others seconded the proposal one after another.

"War and imperial examination are two different things."

"The imperial court only needs soldiers to fight, not everyone."

"If the imperial court doesn't have to do anything because of the war, then what's the use of retaining the princes of the Manchu court? Isn't it enough to follow Pei Ji to become an official?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Still insist on emphasizing and promoting imperial examinations.

In Fang Yuan's words, what just happened in Liaozhou made him firmly attach importance to the imperial examination.

If the imperial court has enough money, he will support the students to travel according to Fang Yuan's wishes.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I support you!"

Wang Gui sighed in his heart and said respectfully.

Obviously, Li Shimin is warning not to forget what he just committed.

That's the end for Pei Ji, he hasn't pursued his own problems yet, so he has to agree with his policy.

As a last resort, Wang Gui agreed to Li Shimin's policy.

"Du Xiang, what about you?"

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui aggressively.

"I support you!"

Du Ruhui sighed inwardly, and said respectfully.

Li Shimin pressed Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling again, and finally they agreed.

"Very good. Tomorrow morning, we will reconsider the importance of the imperial examination and the implementation of the imperial examination."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Send Wang Gui, Du Ruhui and others away.

Although the idea was initially realized, Li Shimin couldn't be happy.

After all, the aristocratic family is still too rampant. It's okay in the imperial capital, but it's hard to manage in the local area.

It would be great if there were more officials like Fang Yuan, and his imperial power could be more concentrated.

Thinking of Fang Yuan, Li Shimin began to worry, although Fang Yuan only took action against the Pei and Wang clans this time, it dissatisfied the famous families in the world, it is estimated that there will be many families targeting Fang Yuan in the future.

......

When Li Shimin was worried about Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan and his group have really left Liaozhou City and set off for Langzhou.

This time, Fang Yuan and Zhang San also brought Hong Xu, Qing Yan, Xue family siblings and others.

Fang Yuan needed Xue Bowu's protection, and Xue Jiaoyan didn't want to stay in Fang Mansion alone, so he went with him.

For four days in a row, everyone was on the bumpy official road, and it would be better to enter the Langzhou area.

Apart from Wuling County and Liaozhou, there is also a concrete road in Langzhou, which was built by Fang Yuan when he built Wuling County.

There is only one, and it can only reach Langzhou City.

But because of this road, there are quite a lot of people in Langzhou City.

Many caravans doing business in Wuling County may pass through Langzhou City, driving the local economy.

Although Langzhou City at this time was located in the remote south, it was no less backward than the current Liaozhou City.

"Oh, I've finally arrived in Langzhou City, but I'm exhausted."

Xue Jiaoyan got off the carriage with a pale face.

She hadn't traveled so hard before, and even vomited several times on the way.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Xue Bowu patted her on the back with concern.

But Xue Bo's strength is not serious, this slap almost made Xue Jiaoyan lose her breath.

"You want to murder your sister?!"

Xue Jiaoyan coughed repeatedly, jumped up and rewarded Xue Bowu with a chestnut.

With a bang, Xue Bowu repeatedly covered his head in pain and pushed aside, looking pitifully at Xue Jiaoyan.

"Jiaoyan, you always use such force, aren't you afraid of breaking Bo Wu's brain?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

On this point, he has long wanted to say.

Normal people are prone to concussion after being knocked on the brain like this.

Moreover, Xue Bowu's mind is not good, he doubted whether it was Xue Jiaoyan's credit.

"I want you to manage."

Xue Jiaoyan glared at Fang Yuan.

Then he muttered: You think I want to, I just want to beat his brain.

But Fang Yuan didn't hear what was said later, he gave her a blank look, and stopped mentioning it.

Fang Yuan felt that he should not intervene too much in the matter between the two siblings, so as not to make trouble.

Soon, Zhang San and Hongxu Qingyi bought a lot of fruits in Langzhou City and set off for Zhao Mansion.

The Zhao family is also quite prestigious in Langzhou City, not a poor family, but a branch of the Nanyang Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao's mansion is stately and luxurious, not comparable to Fang Yuan's Fang Mansion in Liaozhou.

After being notified, someone came out to greet him soon.

The leader was a girl in yellow clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, trotting out like an oriole flying out, accompanied by laughter like silver bells.

When she was running close to Fang Yuan and the others, she suddenly slowed down, walked towards Fang Yuan with brisk steps like Xiaojiabiyu, shyly shouted:

"Brother Yuan!"

Chapter 118 The peaches in Wuling County were stolen

The girl who greeted Fang Yuan was Zhao Zixuan, the only daughter of Zhao Yingcai.

"Girl, you have grown a lot taller."

Fang Yuan looked at Zhao Zixuan, and smiled softly.

After leaving last year, Zhao Zixuan is not as tall as she is now.

After a year, this girl is already slim, like a big girl.

"That's right, I'm fifteen this year."

"Mother said that I can get married within two years."

Zhao Zixuan said with a grin.

Two deep dimples appeared on her rosy cheeks.

The smile is sweet and contagious, smoothing away the hard work Fang Yuan and the others had suffered from the exhaustion.
