Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Wei Zheng is struggling here, and Changsun Wuji over there is also a little helpless, you say, discussion is discussion, what do you mean by me?Don't you just think that when His Majesty granted me Sikong, I declined several times?This is a tradition. It has been done this way in all dynasties. If I don't do it, then future generations will not give me a good reputation?

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, and the Shubao Public Security Department will leave it to you." Li Shimin said directly beside him.

"Yes!" Qin Qiong immediately bowed and saluted.

"At the next court meeting in five days, you will come over and continue to attend the court. There will be an important announcement at that time." Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke and said.

"Yes!" Li Ke didn't think much about it, but simply nodded and agreed.

After making arrangements for the Ministry of Public Security and other departments, the remaining matters have nothing to do with Li Ke, but even so, Li Ke was busy for two or three days before returning to Chang'an City. He was in the mood and had time to continue. Visit Tanchun Building.

However, this visit made Li Ke a little bit stunned. The number of people in the Tanchun Tower is obviously much less. The main reason is that those people that Li Ke can probably recognize are gone. figure.

Li Ke scanned the entire Tanchun building, and finally found someone he knew. After hesitating for a while, Li Ke still walked over.

Seeing Li Ke approaching, the other party hurriedly stood up. Before the other party saluted, Li Ke saluted first: "Uncle Ten."

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang." The other party also hurriedly exchanged greetings to Li Ke. This person was none other than Xu Wang Li Yuanli, Li Shimin's younger brother, Li Ke's tenth uncle, who was born in the same year as Li Ke, one month younger than Li Ke.

"Sit down." Li Ke greeted, and then sat down directly, "Has Uncle Ten returned to Xuzhou?"

Li Yuanli is now serving as the governor of Xuzhou, and he is still in Chang'an City at this point in time, so there must be something wrong.

"I'm going back to Xuzhou in two days. This time I'm coming back to Beijing to pick up my mother." Li Yuanli said, for Li Ke, Li Yuanli was actually grateful in his heart.Although he is the younger brother of the current emperor, in fact, his younger brother has no relationship with Li Shimin. He named Xu Wang and sealed seventy households.

From this official seal, it can be seen how miserable it is. It is not as good as many ministers, and it is even far behind.

And Li Ke held a meeting for all the clans before. Although he said that he did not come to Chang'an, in fact, the decision of the entire clan made him feel relieved.

Although Xu Wang is not a big prince, he is also a prince to the outside world. A prince always has his own etiquette, but it is really not easy to support his family.

The Datang Trust planned by Li Ke is really of great benefit to a prince like him, and the partial dividends given every year are estimated to be more than his own first-class salary.

"Oh, Xuzhou is a good place. Since ancient times, it has been an important grain-producing area of ​​the Chinese Dynasty. The most important thing is that Xuzhou is adjacent to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in the east. There are many high-quality sea outlets on it. The Bohai Shipyard is located in Xuzhou. Uncle Ten must also I know." Li Ke said.

"Yes. Your Highness knows Xuzhou very well." Li Yuanli glanced at Li Ke in surprise. Although he is an elder, he certainly knows what Li Ke's status is now, and naturally he would not consider himself an elder.

"Well, so, after Uncle Ten returns to Xuzhou this time, in addition to the Bohai Shipyard, he will look for a few more natural and excellent ports along the coast of Xuzhou, and I will send someone to build them." Li Ke confessed, in fact, he is Those who come to visit brothels don't want to talk about state affairs.

The problem is that he and Li Yuanli have only met a few times, really a few times. If they want to get closer, they must first talk about it in a direction where they can find common topics.As for Li Yuanli, there are many records in history, and he was ranked among the three princes in the Li Zhi Dynasty, which proves that he has the ability.

Moreover, he is a member of the clan, so he can naturally be regarded as Li Ke's own person. Under the common interests of Datang Trust, he and Li Ke naturally belong to the common interests.

"Yes." Li Yuanli said softly.

Although this is a brothel, when Li Ke and Li Yuanli sat down, many people around them consciously moved away.

"That's all the basic things. For specific things, I'll write a letter to Uncle Ten." Li Ke said with a smile.

"No problem." Li Yuanli smiled and cupped his hands.

"Okay, I'm going out today to relax and don't talk about state affairs, but Uncle Ten knows why there are so many fewer people in Tanchunlou all of a sudden?" Li Ke looked around and asked the question he wanted to ask with a smile.

"To be honest, I don't really know, but I just heard that many families have called back their children and descendants. I'm afraid it has something to do with your Highness's behavior?" Li Yuanli shook his head, and then tentatively said, The affairs of the court are naturally not a secret, and such a big movement cannot be a secret.

What's more, these things will be directly published in the "Datang Weekly" in two days and will be made public to the outside world.

"Hmm." Li Ke thought for a while, and waved his hand to call for a guard.

"Your Highness." Bao Xing, the new commander of Li Ke's guards, walked over immediately.

"Go, let someone check why there are so few people here, and what are the children from various families doing." Li Ke asked directly.

"Yes."

Li Ke asked people to investigate, and Li Yuanli naturally didn't say much, and the two soon began to quietly appreciate the performance of the little ladies in Tanchunlou.

About an hour or so later, Bao Xing came back, and he whispered directly into Li Ke's ear: "Your Highness, these two days, the children of all clans from these powerful families have been recalled to their own homes, and it is said that each clan let them go to their respective places. In addition, they are allowed to study hard with some new math teachers in the school, and some teachers who teach geography and physics."

"Others have already reached the crown, and their knowledge is not bad, but they have no more job arrangements for the time being, and they all returned to their own families. I heard that at least hundreds of thousands of people have left Chang'an City in the past few days."

After listening to Bao Xing's words, Li Ke paused for a moment, and then felt somewhat emotional.

To be honest, although he is on the opposite side of the powerful family, it has to be said that there is a reason why these families can pass on for thousands of years. This sensitivity alone is not comparable to that of ordinary literati.

How is it going in the hall?But these families have already begun to let their family disciples learn these new knowledge, and the learning progress alone has surpassed ordinary people by a lot.

To put it bluntly, Li Ke has a good idea. He wants to train a large number of ordinary scholars, but in the next ten years, these ordinary scholars can only serve as officials and officials in some places at most.

It takes at least 15 years to be able to become an official. This also needs to take into account the genius of ordinary scholars.

In 15 years, how many educated children can be cultivated by a powerful family plus a merchant family?The children of these people don't have to worry about making a living. They spend much more time studying than ordinary people. This is winning at the starting line.
