The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Without the obstruction of the ministers, Emperor Zhaozong logically approved Li Wen's proposal to establish the Ministry of Commerce, "Li Wen listened to the order... I ordered you to work hard to build the Ministry of Commerce, and all matters related to the Ministry of Commerce will be handled by you in the future. The Ministry of Commerce has become an organization independent of the Sixth Ministry, and is not subject to the jurisdiction and constraints of the Sixth Ministry. In the future, you will directly report to me for all matters concerning the Commercial Department... This is it."

"The minister leads the decree." Li Wen knelt on the ground, his heart couldn't restrain his excitement. Of course, he couldn't show it on the surface.

come out.

It's not in vain that he was blinded and assassinated during this period of time, and the establishment of the commercial department went smoother than he imagined.

This is tantamount to the fact that the Ministry of Commerce is independent from the Six Departments, skipping the Six Departments and being directly responsible to the Emperor. What he wants to do in the future, as long as the Emperor is settled, there will be fewer obstacles and troubles in the middle. How can this not make him happy? ?

Dong Xiang looked at Li Wen who was kneeling on the ground receiving the order, wait?Did he miscalculate something?

A possibility flashed through my mind, it turned out that they were all deceived by this kid!Even he was almost fooled by this kid, so you asked Li!They were still happy thinking they had an edge over this kid, but they didn't expect everyone to ignore what this kid really wanted to do.

I'm afraid that this kid's purpose was not to land reform from the beginning, but to set up the Ministry of Commerce, so he made a big detour and put all of them together.

Looking at it like this, the emperor must have known about it in advance.

I don't know what Li Wen wants to do with this commercial department. It seems that he will have to check it out when he gets back.This kid really shouldn't be underestimated. If he doesn't pay attention, he always makes something happen to him. It seems that he is careless.

Some ministers in the DPRK have not yet realized what is going on, and they are all relieved that Li Wen has given up on land reform. As long as this kid doesn't mention land reform, he can change whatever he wants.Most of the officials here look down on business affairs, so naturally no one takes this matter too seriously, thinking that Li Wen has nothing to do and wants to make troubles all day long.

"Today's morning court is here, let's go back."

Emperor Zhaozong waved his hand, thinking that his ears would be clearer in a while.I hope Li Wen will not disappoint him, the emperor withdrew his gaze from Li Wen, got up, and left with the eunuchs and maids amidst the sound of respect from all the officials.

Today's incident just verified Yang Shaomu's guess in his heart. He had guessed two days earlier that Li Wen's purpose might not be the land reform, otherwise he wouldn't just come here to fight with these officials every day, what? Do nothing.Based on his understanding of Li Wen, it is impossible for Li Wen to do useless things. Since he did this, he must have his purpose.

Later, when he heard Li Wen proposed commercial reforms, Yang Shaomu understood why Li Wen acted in such a way. He was smart. In this way, the ministers in the court would not stop him too much.If he had mentioned commercial reform at the beginning, it would definitely not be as smooth as it is now, and he would definitely encounter obstacles from the ministers in every possible way.

Unlike some ministers who look down on merchants and commerce, Yang Shaomu has a different view on this. If there were not these merchants, goods from all over the world would not be circulated and traded. The clothes they wear and the porcelain they usually use Tea set, which one did not come to their hands through the hands of merchants?It is because of merchants that their daily life is so convenient.

The bustling and bustling capital of Kyoto cannot do without the goods and goods brought by these merchants.

Therefore, Yang Shaomu agreed with Li Wen's proposal of commercial reform and commercial development.He didn't know what kind of surprise Li Wen would bring him later, but he was looking forward to it.

The fourth prince Yang Shaojian looked at Li Wen more, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it became more and more interesting

After the court was over, the officials left in twos and threes.

At last, today was not like the previous few days when these officials saw him, they couldn't wait to spit on him before leaving.Li Wen straightened the hem of his clothes. He was wearing knee pads on his knees. He asked Yingchun to sew several knee pads for him. He wore them every day when he went out. He was covered by his clothes, and no one would look at them unless he lifted his hem. not come out.

The goal was achieved, he was in a good mood, and he always smiled when he met people. Although these officials could not say that they were warm-hearted when they saw him, they didn't have a cold face anymore.

Therefore, there are no permanent enemies in this world, only common interests.As long as the interests of each other do not contradict and conflict, we can coexist peacefully.

After he came down from court, he went to the imperial study to meet the emperor, and talked with the emperor about some things about the Ministry of Commerce in detail. He needed the emperor's approval to do these things.Seeing that the emperor has no objections here, Li Wen has already

The typed manuscript is shown to the emperor, and the emperor is asked to sign and stamp it if there is no problem.

"Oh, I think you are waiting here for me." Emperor Zhaozong said so, but he didn't mean to be angry, so he asked Eunuch Sun to get his seal and stamp it on it.

"Hey, I have thanked the emperor." Li Wen smiled, and got the stamped manuscript. This is news that will be published in the newspaper. He has already told the emperor about this matter in advance, and he will meet when the time comes. Post it in the newspaper and tell everyone.

The benefits of newspapers have been revealed by now. Any decree that the court wants to issue can quickly reach the hands of the people and businessmen through the newspapers, so that the people will pay attention to such a matter.Now that the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is such a big event, it is natural to let the whole world know about it.

When the Ministry of Commerce is established, there are still some articles and regulations that need to be published, which can be published with the help of newspapers.

After getting what he wanted, Li Wen came out of the palace.

Outside the palace gate was a carriage waiting to pick him up. A man was sitting in the carriage waiting to pick him up. He held the man's outstretched hand and used his strength to get into the carriage. Li Wen sat in the carriage.

In the past, Zhao Xiangyi used to ride a horse when he went out, and almost never took a carriage. Now, in order to accommodate the young man, he often travels by a carriage instead.In this way, it can prevent outsiders from noticing that the two of them are walking together; secondly, the young man has not yet asked for a wife, and when he goes out, he always attracts the attention of the women in Beijing, especially the young man who is good-looking, so there are always women going to the young man's place. Throwing a handkerchief on his body, intending to seduce his boy.

The former is second, and the latter is the most important.

General Zhao Xiao would never admit that he had overturned the jar of jealousy in this matter, and wished he could hide it, only he could see it alone.

"Your Highness is waiting for you." Zhao Xiangyi was ordered to pick him up.

"Oh, let's go see His Royal Highness first. I'm going to the newspaper office when it's over." Originally, Li Wen wanted to go to the newspaper office first, hand over the news manuscripts to the newspaper office, and talk to Shen Zijing and Su Yuan by the way. Talk about something.But since the prince is already waiting for him, he can't let the prince wait for them for too long, so he can only go to see the prince first

"Is there anything you should say to me?" Zhao Xiangyi asked with a sullen face, looking at the boy.

Now he also wants to understand some things before and after. Zhao Xiangyi is angry that the young man put himself in a dangerous situation in order to act without regard for his own safety.

When Li Wen saw the man's appearance, he knew that he had found out, he laughed dryly twice, and said, "Then what... I didn't mean not to tell you, it's not that I don't trust you." This needs to be explained clearly. , it's not that he doesn't trust this man, it's just, "I came up with this idea, and no one else knows about it except the emperor and me, so..."

That's why he didn't tell this man. In fact, he also thought about telling Zhao Xiangyi at that time.Just told Zhao Xiangyi, doesn't that mean His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it?Zhao Xiangyi wanted to know, if he didn't tell the prince, would it make Zhao Xiangyi embarrassed again, Li Wen explained, "So I didn't tell you about it."

"I just think it will only take a few days. When the matter is over, I will tell you the truth." Li Wen blinked his eyes, looked innocently at the man in front of him who was angry with him, lost, "Don't Are you angry, okay? When I have time later, I will tell you exactly my plans and ideas."

He didn't want to hide this man for a long time at first, at most it will be a few days, when he gets the business department out, he will tell Zhao Xiangyi all about his plan.

"I'm not mad about it."

Seeing the boy's flattering appearance, Zhao Xiangyi lost all anger. He took the boy into his arms, couldn't help but rubbed his cheek with his lips, and said, "No matter what you do in the future, I hope You can put your own safety first, and you can't make fun of your own safety."

"Isn't it because you are here? I believe in you, and I will definitely not let anything happen to me." Li Wen chased the man's lips, and kissed the man's lips flatteringly.

But thinking that they will go to see His Highness the Crown Prince later, it would be bad if His Highness the Crown Prince finds out about their adultery.He put one hand on the man's chest, opened the distance between the two of them a little, and asked, "Aren't we going to see the prince later?"

The meaning hidden in the words is, are you going to let me go?

Zhao Xiangyi couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but he didn't let go of the young man, but asked, "Are you worried that His Highness will know about your relationship with me?"

Li Wen stared, and said, "I thought this was your concern, but your relationship with His Royal Highness is better?" Why was he worried that the Prince would know about their relationship?What the hell!

Seeing the man looking at him silently, Li Wen poked the man's chest with one hand, looked up at the man, and asked

, "Are you going to tell the prince about the matter between you and me?" He didn't care whether the prince knew about him and Zhao Xiangyi, but he would worry about bringing unnecessary trouble to Zhao Xiangyi, "Will it give you cause trouble

99

"No, I'm not worried." This means that Zhao Xiangyi is not worried that the prince will know about his relationship with the young man.

"If you don't mind, I'll find a chance later, and I will confess the matter with you to His Highness, so that we don't need to avoid anything in front of the prince in the future." Zhao Xiangyi didn't think about asking him and Li. Guan Guan told His Highness that he just never found a suitable opportunity.

Another point is that he thought that the young man was unwilling to tell others about their relationship, so he did not disclose his relationship with Li Wen to His Highness the Crown Prince.Zhao Xiangyi looked at his young man and said, "If it weren't for you, I would have thought of spending the rest of my life alone."

Li Wen asked in reverse, "You mean, you plan to spend the rest of your life with me?"

"Yes." Of course, Zhao Xiangyi had this idea when he was with the young man at the beginning. If it weren't for the appearance of the young man, he would still be alone now.The appearance of the boy was a surprise to him, but he liked the surprise very much.

For him, youth is a gift from God.

The eyes of the two met, and Li Wen didn't see the slightest hint of a joke in the other's eyes. He knew why the man would say such a thing.There was a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was also in a good mood. He looked at the man and said with a smile, "I would like to thank others for leaving you to me."

He told men in his words, so don't feel bad about yourself, you are good, it's because other people don't understand your goodness.

Otherwise, with Zhao Xiangyi's status, there would be countless noble girls in the capital waiting to marry him.

People in this world get married early. Women marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and men marry at the age of sixteen or seventeen.The children of officials and wealthy families, even if they are teenagers and have not yet married, there are groups of maids and concubines in the house. With Zhao Xiangyi's identity, if it weren't for his special physique, there must be many women throwing themselves into his arms. Hug, it must have been married to a woman and had a child long before meeting him, why would you wait until he came to the capital to take the exam and let him meet?When people meet each other at the right time, they can come together.

If Zhao Xiangyi had already married a wife and had children when they met, or if he had already had a lover, Li Wen would definitely not get too close to Zhao Xiangyi and talk about feelings, so this is thanks to each other, Before meeting each other, I have never met anyone else.

And the person you met just happened to be the one you were destined for.

"Maybe, what we are waiting for is each other?" Li Wen asked with a smile.

The man who responded to him was the man who held him in his arms and rubbed his head. Zhao Xiangyi gave a low "hmm" in response to the boy's words.Li Wen felt the man's chest tremble, and when he heard the man's chuckle, he also smiled foolishly.

There was a protest from inside the carriage, "Don't touch my head, you messed up my hair...''

How can he meet people in a while!
