Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 345 Not Enough Officials

The house here on the island was also planned by Cheng Chuli.

All are modern villas with three or four floors.On the top of each floor, modern solar power generation equipment is installed.

This batch of houses was built, and this is the first batch of houses in Datang to be connected to electricity.

Those who build houses here are basically master craftsmen sent from the Ministry of Industry.

It has been several months, and now the houses here have been basically completed, and they can move in just short of decoration.

Well, Cheng Chuli was quite satisfied.These ancients are still quite smart, as long as you mention them, they can get things out for you very well.

Cheng Chuli walked into a courtyard, the rockery and flowing water, the small pond for raising fish, and the swimming pool, etc., were equipped with everything.

It's just that it's just a prototype now, it still looks like a mess everywhere, and there's nothing to see.

Now Li Yuanjing follows Cheng Chuli like a good baby.That is very docile!
Soon, the old man received the news, and rushed over with his people. When he saw Cheng Chuli from a distance, he laughed and ran over.

"Hahahaha, you brat, you are finally willing to come back. You really miss me. Haha..."

Li Yuan ran over and hugged Cheng Chuli.

"Ouch, old man, let me down, your beard is too piercing."

"No, you brat, you've grown up after being out for a few months. Hahahaha..."

"Let me down, will you let me go? If you don't let me go, I'll pull your beard." Cheng Chuli threatened by pulling Li Yuan's beard.

"Oh, you brat, you've been away for a few months, what's wrong with me hugging you? Do it well, don't bother me, let me put it down, can't I let it go? You brat, you're so ridiculous ah……"

Li Yuan had no choice but to let him go. This kid really dares to talk!

Li Yuanjing was stunned watching from the side.He finally knew why he was so sad when he provoked Cheng Chuli.

That was Li Yuan's beard, even Li Yuanjing didn't dare to pull it off.Well, I dare not even think about it.

This kid is really rude.The most important thing is that Li Yuan is not angry yet.

How does this compare?
Finally, Li Yuan saw Li Yuanjing, and his face immediately changed.

"You brat, what are you doing here? Is this where you should be? Go back and kneel for me."

gah...

Li Yuanjing's face immediately became like crying.

Cheng Chuli quickly said: "Forget it, old man. The punishment is enough. He also made an unintentional mistake. If he had known about our relationship, I guess he wouldn't dare to do that if he was killed, right?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Guogong is right. If I knew, I would never do that. I'm so sorry!"

Li Yuanjing answered immediately and started talking there.

After hearing this, Li Yuan's anger didn't go away but increased instead.

"You brat, what are you talking about? In other words, if you change someone else, you can be bullied, right?"

gah...

Li Yuanjing was confused, he really didn't know how to answer.

Needless to say?If it were someone else, they would definitely be bullied!

But knowing this is the case, I can't say this. If I dare to say it, it will definitely be a sad reminder.

"No, old man, this is your fault. He just came back from the fief, why didn't you tell him about Chang'an? If you did, how could such a thing happen? "

Forehead?
Li Yuan was immediately stunned when he heard the words, it was my fault for co-authoring.

"Okay, you brat, from today on you will follow Xiao Chuli, you can do whatever he asks you to do, even if he asks you to be an ox or a horse, you have to do it. Did you hear that?"

"what?"

Li Yuanjing wasn't stupid either, so he reacted immediately, and said quickly, "Good father. From today on, I will do whatever the little prince asks me to do."

Cheng Chuli was very speechless: "Old man, what are you doing? Are you planning to push all the younger generations of your Li family to me?"

"Eh? Hehe, didn't I ask this kid to follow you to redeem?" Li Yuan laughed awkwardly as he spoke.

Cheng Chuli said: "There's no need for that. He just kicked me. It's nothing serious. What's the point of atonement? Well, your son's character is not very good, let him stay! Don't go to the fief, When the school is built, let him go to school. By the way, how is the construction of the school going?"

Seeing that he changed the subject, Li Yuan knew that his son was fine, so he replied, "The house over there is relatively simple, and it is easy to transport materials. It is basically completed now. Why don't we go and have a look now?"

Cheng Chuli nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look."

Soon, a group of people came to the school.

The houses here are indeed much simpler, they are rows of flat buildings with two floors.

There is no way, it is too troublesome to build too high.There are not many things in Datang now, but a lot of land.

Cheng Chuli built a large campus of primary and secondary schools here.As for the university, forget it, that's for the future.

If he can manage middle school well, he is already considered very good. Fortunately, there is a complete set of textbooks in a certain treasure.

As long as they can study these textbooks thoroughly, there is no big problem.

Not to mention graduating from high school, even after graduating from junior high school.With some more training, you will be fully capable of being a good official of Datang.

To put it bluntly, people like Wei Zheng's real strength is really not as good as a high-achieving junior high school graduate in modern times.

Of course, it’s not as good as reading Zhihu. If it’s better than this stuff, even a bachelor’s degree can’t compare to him.

Cheng Chuli was very happy to see the rows of teaching buildings, this place will be Datang's hope!
Cheng Chuli was delighted to see it, and couldn't help but chant a poem.

"The Son of Heaven values ​​heroes,

Articles teach Ercao.

Everything is inferior,
Only reading is high. "

"Okay, well, everything is inferior, only reading is high. Xiao Chuli, you are really full of knowledge! I have decided. This poem is engraved on the gate of our school. Let every student who enters the school can see."

Li Yuan said very happily.

Forehead?
Cheng Chuli was stunned, there is no such poem yet?

Well, I accidentally plagiarized again. It seems that it is better to read less poems in the future.

After leaving the campus, there are workshops outside.In our modern words, it is a community.

In the community, there are two or three-story houses in a set.

Many houses are still under construction.

Most of the people who work here are villagers from Chengjia Village.Then there are masons chosen from among those refugees.

Although these people worked very hard, they all had smiles that could not be concealed.

Yes, this is the smile of hope.

Once these houses are built, they can move in and live in them.

After the school is completed, their children can go to school in a serious manner. What could make them happier than this?

You know, in this era, being able to go to school means that they have stepped into the passage to the upper floors.

At this moment, a presidential car drove over slowly with several pickups.

Cheng Chuli frowned.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only two presidential cars, except for Cheng Chuli, who was Li Shimin.

This Li Shimin is really unstoppable, there must be something wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for him in such a hurry.

Moreover, the fact that he put down his body to find him proves that Cheng Chuli must be asking for something from him.

Sure enough, when the car stopped, Li Shimin walked down with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin.

Behind, Li Junxian led dozens of people out of more than a dozen Warrior pickup trucks, staring at the surroundings.

From far away, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Xiao Chuli, you are really easy for me to find!"

After walking over, he brought Cheng Yaojin and the others to Li Yuan and said, "I have seen Father."

"I have seen the Supreme Emperor."

See if you don't, this is Li Yuan's brilliance.

What kind of emperor?

Wouldn't it be nice to be the Supreme Emperor?

Being the Supreme Emperor, what should you have less than being an emperor?And, there is less.

"Um……"

Li Yuan nodded and asked, "What are you all doing here?"

Li Shimin said with an embarrassed smile: "We have something to do with Xiao Chuli."

After Cheng Chuli saluted Li Shimin, he asked, "What can you do with me? Why don't you just announce me to the palace, and trouble your majesty to go there yourself?"

Li Shimin said with an embarrassed smile: "This is not a place to talk, let's find a quiet place to talk."

"Okay, it's already noon, how about we go to Wannian Co., Ltd. to find a restaurant?"

Of course, Li Shimin has no problem.Soon, a convoy stopped under a restaurant.

When the restaurant owner saw them, he ran down in fear, greeted them, and arranged the best private room for them.

In the private room, Li Yuan, Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and Cheng Chuli were seated.

Originally, Li Yuan didn't want to come here, after all, he was talking about state affairs.

But he was embarrassed to leave, after all, this was Cheng Chuli's first meal with him after he came back.

Simply, he followed.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't shy away from him either.

They come here to eat, and the food is served very quickly, and the food is full soon, which is quite rich.

Anyway, this guy Cheng Chuli, if he doesn't eat, he won't eat, and if he eats, he will eat well.

The reason is also very strong, he is growing his body now.

"Your Majesty, tell me, what is it that came to me in such a hurry?"

Cheng Chu straightened a big lobster, and asked while biting.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and finally Fang Xuanling coughed and said, "Let me talk about this matter! The thing is like this, we don't have enough officials."

Yes, they didn't have enough officials in the first place, and suddenly Cheng Chuli conquered such a large area.This official is too short.

Anyway, if the original local officials were used, Li Shimin would definitely be worried.

The most important thing is that even if Li Shimin wanted to use him, many local officials quit for various reasons.

This time, Li Shimin will definitely transfer officials there.But where did this official come from?

Cheng Chuli asked very speechlessly: "There are no officials, you also come to me? Fang Xiang, do you think I will become an official?"

"This."

Fang Xuanling was quite speechless!
At the beginning, you cut one at a time, one at a time, and it was so cool to chop.No one is using it now.What do you want me to do?I am also very desperate!

When Cheng Chuli saw Fang Xuanling's appearance, he felt very happy.

Said: "Okay, I won't be joking with you. My Majesty, I don't think you are unused, but you are not used by suitable people, right?"

Yes.

If Li Shimin wants to recruit officials, if those aristocratic families recommend him, is he afraid that no one will use him?
But the problem is, he is not easy to use the officials of those aristocratic families!Throw the officials of those aristocratic families there, and then it will be another Yizhou city.Might as well let the local officials do it.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard Cheng Chuli's words, and asked, "Xiao Chuli, do you have a solution?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Of course there is a way. In fact, our Tang Dynasty has no shortage of officials."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin quickly asked, "What should I do? Tell me quickly."

Cheng Chuli said, "It's time for the imperial examination."

When Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others heard this, their faces darkened immediately.

I thought he had something good to do, but it turned out to be the same way. If the opening of the department was held, would Li Shimin still use it to find him?
When Cheng Chuli saw their appearance, he immediately smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly, and said: "We have also thought about the method of holding the imperial examination. But the people recruited by the opening of the imperial examination are not a group of officials from aristocratic families?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.Li Yuan also frowned.

Cheng Chuli said: "The imperial examination I'm talking about is completely different from the imperial examination you imagined."

Oh?
Everyone suddenly regained their spirits.

Cheng Chuli said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you that the imperial examination you gave was wrong. First of all, those who come to take the examination must be recommended by officials. This is a big mistake in itself.

Let's use an analogy!If you ask Mr. Zhao to recommend people, even if Mr. Zhao has no selfish intentions, at least he recommends someone he knows or is familiar with, right?
In this way, this official was branded as Mr. Zhao, and he immediately became Mr. Zhao's cavalier, following what Mr. Zhao said.Definitely.Slowly, a huge grandson's family rose up. "

Changsun Wuji immediately had a black line all over his head, don't use my Changsun Wuji as an example, okay?

Sure enough, Li Shimin took a look at Changsun Wuji, and he was terrified at Changsun Wuji.

Yes, there is indeed a problem with doing this. The officials recommended by his eldest grandson Wuji, even if his surname is not the eldest grandson, are still members of his eldest grandson's family.This is how the aristocratic family was formed.

The same is true for other aristocratic officials, the first choice for the people they recommend is their own family members.Even if there is no one in their own family, recommend people with other surnames.That, too, was branded with their family.

Therefore, in Li Shimin's court, one counts as one, and all the officials are inseparable from the aristocratic family.

This truth, Jing Cheng Chuli said so, Li Shimin thought about it carefully, and immediately understood.

Li Shimin quickly asked: "Then what do you say you want to do?"
