Datang Live Room

Yan Kai was a little surprised as to why a monk came to find him.

I should be notorious in the bald world now, right?

Are you here to take revenge on yourself?

This is Kuoding County. Who is so desperate to come here to seek revenge on himself?

With doubts, Yan Kai walked out and saw a man in ragged clothes who said he looked more like a beggar than a monk.

"Master Magistrate, that's him..."

Before his servant had finished speaking, the beggar monk looked at Yan Kai and shouted excitedly in a hoarse voice: "Are you Yan Kai? Master was..."

Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fell down in the lobby of the county government office.

"I'll go!" Yan Kai was startled, what do you mean? Is the professional porcelain maker hired by Buddhism here to touch porcelain?

Everyone saw that he didn't touch the other party at all!

I asked someone to ask for Sun Simiao, only to find out that the old Taoist priest had taken the county boat early in the morning to collect medicine on a nearby island.

Now that there are more and more people in Kuoding County, Yan Kai simply found a small island with fertile soil in the nearby sea to cultivate medicine for Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao was away, so his apprentice Yan Xiaoer could only take over.

Yan Xiaoer went over to check his pulse and said confidently: "Brother, this person must be tired and hungry, nothing serious. He fainted when he saw you were too excited."

"I'll give him a few injections first, and you can get him some sugar water to drink, and let him rest for a while. Then he'll be fine."

Yan Xiaoer's current medical skills may not be enough to deal with some difficult and complicated diseases, but simple symptoms like what he said are still easy to grasp.

It was impossible for Yan Kaifeng to just look at this monk in their Kuoding County and ask Yan Xiaoer to treat him well.

It’s just what the monk said before he fainted. What happened to the master?

Is it possible that Master was also captured by monsters?

Even if he is captured by a monster, what does it have to do with him? I am not a Monkey King.

The monk was unconscious, and Yan Kai could only let him rest first while he took Li Chengqian to see how his county government operated.

Li Chengqian asked curiously: "Where can Mr. Yan find so many capable officials? They all do things in a calm and orderly manner."

He has also been to several prefectural and county government offices and other places. Those places basically looked at whether the chief officials were capable.

As for the officials below, they basically do whatever the chief officer tells them to do.

Where can Yan Kai be like this, even if he is sleeping, he is still busy with various affairs?

After hearing this, Yan Kai smiled and said: "Actually, where are there so many capable officials? As long as you have read books, know the characters, and are willing to learn for a month or two, you can get started with these things, and you can become proficient after half a year of working."

"They are all common people or scholars from poor families nearby. They have no hope of getting any honors, so I recruited them all."

The world is a huge grassroots team. How complicated can the work of this county government be?

Yan Kai recruited more people, and each person was assigned a fixed job. After working for a while, they got used to it and could perform their own duties. It was not as complicated as he thought.

In his opinion, recruiting these officials is much easier than recruiting craftsmen in the county.

Li Chengqian didn't expect it to be so simple, so he turned to look at Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda explained: "These officials are not considered to be unemployed, but they can be regarded as having a background. Officials in other places are either recommended by famous people or have become officials through knowledge, but...many scholars are not willing to be officials. "

"Unwilling? Why is that?" Li Chengqian asked curiously. According to his understanding, officials have some rights in the local area, so why are so many scholars unwilling?

"Because the Tang Dynasty followed the laws of the Sui Dynasty, the descendants of officials were not allowed to take scientific examinations, and it was difficult for them to be promoted to officials." Yan Kai explained helpfully.

"Is there such a rule?" Li Chengqian looked at the busy officials in Kuoding County: "Then why are they willing to come to Kuoding County to work as officials?"

Yan Kai said with a smile: "Because we work as officials in our Kuoding County, I don't count them in their files. I only count them as studying in Kuoding County. In addition, my salary is high, so they are all willing to come." ”

To put it bluntly, Yan Kai's operation was illegal, but he had the final say in Kuoding County.

He said these people are here to study, that is, they are here to study.

When it is time to take part in the imperial examination, these people can take part.

When you stay in the county, you can ask Zheng Zhixun and Chu Suiliang for advice from time to time.

Several people passed this year's imperial examination, and Yan Kai gave them away with a big red envelope.

In such an environment, how could any student be unwilling to come?

Even the official positions in Kuoding County are in high demand within a few hundred miles.

If scholars who come to Kuoding County are not qualified for official positions, they can also temporarily serve as lecturers in schools in Kuoding County.

In a word, coming to Kuoding County is convenient for studying and making money.

After listening to Yan Kai's words, Li Chengqian frowned.

Yan Kai’s method is good, but it seems that it cannot be implemented nationwide!

Yan Kai also saw what Li Chengqian was thinking and said to him: "Actually, scholars don't want to be officials, but it's just because the government has blocked the promotion path. Even because of this, many people who became officials had no hope of promotion, so they let go. Make money."

"If the Tang Dynasty can show these officials the possibility of promotion in the future, how come no one is willing to do it?"

"Mr. Yan's words are reasonable. Chengqian has learned a lesson!" Li Chengqian said respectfully.

At this time, Yan Xiaoer came over and shouted: "Brother, that monk is awake!"

Yan Kai and Li Chengqian came to the room arranged for the monk to rest, and they could see that he was still very weak.

"Brother, when he wakes up, he must look for you." Yan Xiaoer said helplessly.

"Tell me, what do you want from me? And what did you say happened to Master?"

"Are you the benefactor of Yankai? The poor monk Daozheng, Master Huiwei sent me and my senior brother Huilin to escort Master Xuanzang to the west. When passing through Gaochang, Master Xuanzang was detained by the king of Gaochang Ju Wentai."

"I returned to Chang'an all the way. I originally wanted to ask the government to come forward, but who knew that most of the temples in Chang'an were confiscated by the government. Every monk was subject to strict inspection by the government. Even the statues in our Daci'en Temple were removed by no one. "

"In desperation, I remembered that benefactor Yan Kai once wrote the book Journey to the West, so I came here to ask for help!"

Yan Kai was confused after hearing what he said. What kind of wisdom is this master monk, and he ended up following Xuanzang to learn Buddhist scriptures?

And why was Xuanzang detained by King Ju Wentai of Gaochang?

Well, it was him who sold the Buddha statue in Daci'en Temple.

After asking someone to bring some food and interrogating him in detail, Yan Kai finally knew the whole story.
