Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 296 Educating the Prince

"Brother Prince, just look at the booklet in your hand. Thieves found in Yunzhou City, and several households were stolen. Not to mention why the local officials didn't arrest them, but why did they send them to Chang'an for the robbery? Leave it to the prince to decide?"

Li Chengqian pondered for a while, "This is an excerpt that has been verified by Shangshu."

Li Fangchen had a slight disdain on his face, "This is the responsibility of the local officials, but now it is written in a booklet and sent to the palace. Is it possible that even such a trivial matter should be consulted with Chang'an for decision?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, how can everything go well? This is a book specially selected by the Minister of Shangshu to test my decision-making on political affairs."

"Then what is your comment?"

Li Chengqian said seriously: "Strictly investigate the thieves, bring them to justice, and get back the money lost by the people."

Li Fangchen couldn't help interrupting Li Chengqian's next words, "The case will be solved in three days, and the details of the case will be sent to Dali Temple for filing."

"what?"

Li Chengqian obviously did not keep up with Li Fangchen's thoughts, and was still puzzled by Li Fangchen's words.

"It's the job of Yunzhou officials. Could it be that there is a problem under his rule, and Chang'an needs to wipe his ass? It's so useless, and it's not good. If you don't plan for it in your position, if you keep If so, let him get out early!"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

In the past, when revising memorials, one would have to crown a few words, so that the officials of the Tang Dynasty could do their best.

But hearing the words of the second younger brother today, it seems that a whole new world has opened up for him.

"Second brother mean?"

"The official who eats the salary is the official who serves the people. What is an official if he eats the salary but not the people?"

"But if that's the case, I'm afraid the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"Brother Prince, it's true to sharpen your ability in administrative affairs, but you have to judge according to the severity. If such an example, from Yunzhou to Chang'an, is thousands of miles away, if the thieves escape, the people will suffer in the end. The officials protect one side , for the sake of democracy, rather than greedy for meritorious service, waiting for promotion in the daytime!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help sighing: "Second brother thinks, I'm afraid that there are not a few such selfless officials in the entire Tang Dynasty!"

"Then set the assessment, with a time limit, and the situation under the management of the official during his term of office, to determine whether an official is qualified!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Fangchen talked to Li Chengqian about performance appraisal. Although these things were popular in later generations, they were not clear at all in Datang.

Although there are officials who are promoted based on their talents in governing the land, most of them are promoted through referrals.

Relying on the background of the family, he rose step by step.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was very pleasantly surprised, and chatted with Li Fangchen very speculatively.

In his words, he agreed with this official during the assessment, and he couldn't wait to write a note, planning to send it directly to the palace.

"This is just an idea of ​​yours and mine, don't be in a hurry for now." Li Fangchen hurriedly stopped him, even if he was impatient, he had to think about it comprehensively.

For example, how to formulate punishments, if he is really incompetent, should he be removed from office.

Most of the officials in Datang today are not based on real skills.

The heirs of the princes of various prefectures and states are special cases.

With the meritorious deeds of his predecessors, even Li Chengqian can't just take away the other party's official position, unless the other party wants to rebel!

The emperor's promise is worth ten thousand gold.

The families of these founding heroes have been immortal for three generations.

Li Chengqian talked with Li Fangchen for a long time, and he had a general idea.

He likes this way of promotion assessment.

Although he can't use it when Li Shimin is in power, he can wait until he ascends the throne.

"Your Highness, the newly sent lychees from Lingnan."

The waiter brought the trays into it, it was quite a lot, Li Fangchen couldn't help swallowing.

You are not polite at all, pick it up and peel off the shell, the crystal white and tender flesh enters the mouth, sweet and sour, and full of juice.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Although Lingnan is barren, it is difficult to grow lychees in other places except Lingnan. Often a large cart is sent to Chang'an, and the ones that are not broken in the end are just the one in our hands."

Li Fangchen thought for a while, maybe he can do something.

But right now, it's better to eat lychees first.

"Brother Prince, you are busy first, I should go."

After speaking, ignoring Li Chengqian's surprised gaze, he ran away with a large plate of lychees
Li Chengqian didn't react, and it took a long time before he suddenly said: "Is he leaving?"

The servant on the side smiled wryly and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin really is."

He didn't dare to say anything bad about King Qin, because Li Chengqian looked over as soon as he answered the question.

The relationship between the crown prince and King Qin is not something that a servant like him can discuss.

Li Fangchen left the East Palace, got into the carriage and went straight back to Qin Palace, he has something to do.

After Shi Qi drank, the horse started to move forward.

Li Fangchen poked his head out, and handed over a few lychees to Shi Qi and the others, "This king snatched it from the prince, please try it quickly."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After walking through several neighborhoods, I stopped in Changxing Square. Could it be that there is something strange in this square?

Not so, Li Fangchen was attracted by the scene he saw on the side of the road, so he ordered someone to stop the frame.He got out of the carriage and walked towards a crowd gathering place on the side of the road.

"Let it go! Let it go!"

Shi Qi and the others pushed away the crowd so that Li Fangchen could enter.

In the center of the crowd was a little girl about nine years old, wearing linen clothes with scarlet blood stains, her face was pale, lying on the street.

Li Fangchen frowned, the familiar face made him blurt out "Qiaoer!"

Isn't this the little girl Li Fangchen met when he first came here?What about her mother?The Liu family who took his daughter into exile in Chang'an to survive at the age of 16?
He hurriedly stepped forward to check, breathed his breath, he was very weak, but not dead yet.

"Seventeen, take her, let's go home!"

Li Fangchen's complexion immediately became gloomy. At first Liu Shi stayed in Prince Qin's mansion, and then someone told her about a marriage, so she left the mansion with Qiao'er.

Her man, Li Fangchen, has also met her. He is an honest and responsible scholar, and he doesn't care about Liu's having a daughter.

Why hasn't I seen you for several years, Liu's family has disappeared, but Qiao'er has become like this?

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

A group of Marquis Wu came from a distance, "Who is gathering here?"

The crowd hurriedly dispersed, and Marquis Wu dared not neglect Li Fangchen when he saw the luxuriously dressed Li Fangchen and the others.

It's just that when he saw the girl in Seventeen's arms, his pupils shrank slightly.

"This son, can you leave that little lady to me?"

Li Fangchen's face was gloomy, he didn't even look at him, one of his guards walked out and shouted: "My young master knows this person well, what do you want to take away?"

He didn't say anything about his official position, he seemed to be the noble son of some big family.

The Marquis Wu looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't know, this little girl is a slave of Cuixianglou, she was let go before, but now that she is found, naturally I have to send her back. "

"Cuixiang Building?"

The guard said coldly: "Which Cuixiang Building?"

"Chang'an City, Cuixiang Building in Xinghuafang."

A slave in the building?To put it bluntly, they are all flesh and blood jobs.

How could Qiao'er and Liu's family marry into such a good family?

Li Fangchen went straight to Marquis Wu, grabbed him with one hand, and said coldly, "Who is behind this Cuixiang Tower?"

Marquis Wu sighed and explained: "My lord, behind the Cuixiang Tower is Princess Yongjia. I know you have a noble status, but you must never participate in this kind of thing."

Wishing to save a slave, it can be seen that this son is really kind-hearted, but the things behind this slave are too involved!
