The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After that, Li Wen knew that the prince had gone to the prison twice, so he knew that His Royal Highness was going to chat with Zhu Guangquan without thinking about it.Although he was assisting the prince in the case by the emperor's order, he didn't follow the prince all the time. Later, when the prince went to prison, he didn't go with him, so he didn't know what the prince and Zhu Guangquan said. Know.

Zhu Guangquan must have some things in his hands that they haven't found. These things must be very important to them. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to make Zhu Guangquan speak, it will be His Highness the Crown Prince's ability.

In comparison, the relationship between Zhao Xiangyi and His Royal Highness must be closer, and he must know more things than him.However, Li Wen never thought of asking Zhao Xiangyi about the prince. He should know.

He himself did not go to see Zhu Guangquan in prison in private. Firstly, Zhu Guangquan didn't necessarily want to see him, and secondly, he didn't want to know anything from Zhu Guangquan.What the emperor asked him to do, he has done.The emperor asked him to assist the prince in the trial. In fact, the two departments of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs were jointly responsible for the investigation, and His Royal Highness the prince was in charge of the presiding trial.

During this period of time, there are still many things on the Ministry of Accounts, and Li Wen is still busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts.

The criminal department and the Dali Temple are responsible for the investigation of this case of the Ministry of Finance, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the presiding judge.This case of the Ministry of Household Affairs involved a lot, and many officials were involved later, and it also involved the conflict of interests between several parties in the DPRK and China.

The morning court in the court hall is very lively every day, and the civil servants are hindered by all kinds of talk.

This time, the generals quietly watched the civil servants work. These civil servants often bullied their generals. All of these generals were able to fight on the battlefield, but one of them was so quick to talk in the court.

Civil servants quarreled and greeted each other's mother without a single dirty word.

This group of generals had an epiphany, "Oh, so you can still scold the other party's mother like this, I learned it!"

The court was going to be full of quarrels, and the emperor had no choice but to suppress it, "Shut up! You all think this is some place in the court, one by one, one by one... I think you are trying to piss me off! "

There was another big kneeling below, "The minister deserves to die for the crime."

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

For this reason, the emperor had to be very angry every day when he went to court, and the imperial physician came to prescribe medicine according to the pulse. A group of imperial physicians tried to persuade the emperor to calm down and not to be overworked.

Emperor Zhaozong: Can I take a good rest and calm down this day? !ah……

The emperor's life has been miserable recently.

After coming back from Master Jiang last time, Li Wen was planning another thing.

After having coal, it means that they can refine and improve their weapons.He can't make the aircraft and cannon for the time being. He doesn't have the conditions and the technology. But if he can't make it now, it doesn't mean he can't make it in the future. This matter can be thought about later, but now they have one thing they can plan.

The emperor was in a bad mood and asked him to come over to play chess and chat with him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Wen turned the corner and mentioned the matter of the Ministry of War.Emperor Zhaozong thought his little Liuyuan didn't want to stay in the Ministry of Household anymore, and wanted to go to the Ministry of War, so he asked, "You want to go to the Ministry of War?"

It's just you, a civil servant, wouldn't it be better to be in the household department?The emperor looked at his little Liuyuan, "You did a good job in what I asked you to do this time, and I am still thinking about how to reward you." So the subtext of these words is, if you want to go to the Ministry of War, It's not impossible, for the emperor, it's just a matter of one sentence.

Of course, Li Wen didn't want to go to the Ministry of War. The purpose of his mentioning the Ministry of War was not to think of going to the Ministry of War.

"Back to the emperor, I don't mean that I want to go to the Ministry of War." Li Wen didn't expect that the emperor would think that he wanted to go to the Ministry of War.

He said hastily.

Now among the six departments, no matter which department they are in, they might not dare to let his big killer go in.He went to the Ministry of Households once, and took down the Minister of the Ministry of Households and most of the officials of the Ministry of Households. The rest of the arrangements were too late to prevent him, so how dare he let him in.

Besides, he doesn't even want to stay in the Ministry of Households anymore, so why would he think of going to the Ministry of War?

He had an immature idea in his heart. If possible, Li Wen would like to build another department outside of the Six Departments, but it depends on the emperor's will. something interesting.

Li Wen said to the emperor with a humble and dog-legged face, "Serving the emperor is what a humble minister should do, and a humble minister dare not take credit." He was envied and hated by others, so he had to keep a low profile. He didn't want the emperor to promote him again, or get him to another department.

"You can talk, tell me, what do you want to tell me." Emperor Zhaozong still couldn't see what this kid was talking about.

What's your idea?

Li Wen smiled and said, "You have noticed it, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, do you still remember that the last time the envoys came, we had a contest between the two sides. During the contest between Master Zhao and the opposing warrior, the sword in his hand was cut off?" matter?"

"I remember." Emperor Zhaozong nodded, he remembered this incident, and afterwards he rewarded Zhao Xiangyi with the Longquan sword, so he didn't know why Xiao Liuyuan suddenly mentioned this incident.

"Your Majesty, I have read in a miscellaneous book that there is a kind of flammable stone..." Li Wen told the emperor the function and benefits of coal, to the effect that this kind of thing can make better weapons.

"There are such things, but are they really useful?" Emperor Zhaozong heard this for the first time, and this aroused his interest. The emperor knew that Li Wen must have had some thoughts when he mentioned such a thing. Emperor Zhaozong signaled Li Wen to continue talking.

"If I hadn't found this kind of stone, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor." Li Wen said.

In this regard, Emperor Zhaozong believed in his little Liuyuan. He nodded and said, "I believe in you."

Knowing that the emperor was interested, Li Wen continued, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the military's weapons are all purchased from outside by the Ministry of War, not from ourselves." , There must be a lot of nasty things in this military department.Among the six ministries, if the investigation is carried out one by one, I am afraid that every official in the deployment will not be able to escape.

Therefore, every time the silver taels for purchasing military supplies are exploited layer by layer, the silver taels used to purchase weapons must be less than half of the original ones, so the last purchased weapons will definitely not be much better.

Li Wen's purpose today is not to check how the other officials deployed are. How many officials in this officialdom have clean hands?After checking, I am afraid that most of the officials in the entire imperial court will be replaced, but can the replaced person be a good official?So instead of focusing on the road of arresting corrupt officials, it is better to do something else that is more meaningful.

"Your Majesty, a good weapon can improve the combat capability of the soldiers, so that the soldiers are invincible on the battlefield, fighting against the enemy and defeating the enemy. Weapons can not only improve the combat effectiveness of individuals, but also play a vital role on the battlefield. If we master good weapons, we will have a certain advantage on the battlefield..."

"Weapons are a symbol of a country. If we have powerful weapons, who would dare to invade us? Your majesty, do you think so?" Li Wen explained the role of weapons to the emperor.Seeing that the emperor listened seriously, he knew that the emperor was thinking about this question, and then he said, "So what I mean is that the weapons should be in our own hands, and our court will build an arsenal belonging to our Dacheng, master With the best technology and recruiting the best masters, we can create the most powerful weapons ourselves, so that our soldiers can be invincible on the battlefield."

"Your Majesty, if we build an arsenal and create the best weapons, I have another idea. We can build a Condor Army at the same time. This Condor Army can serve as your personal guard for the Emperor." , can also be put on the battlefield, everyone here can be one against a hundred, and can become a big killer on the battlefield, and any enemy will be terrified when they hear the news, and dare not attack us Dacheng." Li Wen continued to tell the emperor Draw big cakes and paint a beautiful blueprint for the emperor.

As long as they master powerful weapons, they will be the overlords, and all directions will come to court. No one dares to invade them. They can even attack these small countries around them and build a prosperous dynasty.

Following Li Liuyuan's drawing, Emperor Zhaozong's breathing became heavy when he thought of that scene. If so, his Zhaozong would definitely be famous and become an emperor through the ages.The sudden shock was a bit big, and Emperor Zhaozong's head was dizzy. The emperor raised his hand and said, "Let me think about it first."

"Yes." Li Wen knew from the emperor's expression that the emperor was extremely interested in this matter, and no one in high position could withstand such a big temptation.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent and looked deep in thought, he was obviously thinking about what he just said, and the two of them stopped playing chess halfway through.

The emperor was thinking about the problem, and Li Wen sat aside and waited quietly.

Of course, imagination is beautiful, and there is a very real problem that building such an arsenal must require a lot of silver.In the past few years, the Ministry of Households has been in deficit, and the imperial court is very poor. The Ministry of Households has no money, and neither does the emperor.

After a while, after Emperor Zhaozong calmed down, he asked how much silver would be needed to build such an arsenal.Li Wen knew that the emperor wanted to do something, but he had no money, no money, this is easy to handle.Seeing that Big Yu'er had taken the bait, Li Wen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way here, I don't know
