Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 149 Investment Bank and Ma Zhou
"It's late, it's late. The old man is late.!"

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang and several Li Shimin's confidants finally arrived. You must know that Li Shimin is very concerned about the people of Tang Dynasty.

In the history of ancient China, after several dynasties, there were nearly 500 emperors in total. In order to rule better and enjoy the supreme luxury life, many emperors built large-scale construction projects, built luxurious palaces, increased taxes, imposed excessive taxes, and suffered the most. It is those people.

However, there are also some emperors who are well aware of the sufferings of the people. After ascending the throne, in order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, they formulated many policies, such as reducing taxes, rehabilitating unjust cases, and cracking down on corrupt officials, etc., which were not generally good for the people.

Among them, Li Shimin is one. Although Li Shimin won the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which is also considered a stain in his life, it does not affect Li Shimin's contribution to history in the slightest.

During his more than 20 years in power, he created a prosperous Zhenguan situation, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the crime rate was greatly reduced, and even the situation of not closing the door at night appeared.

Li Shimin and Sui Yangdi's talents and personalities are relatively similar, but because of historical issues, they have taken different paths. It is a typical case that hard work is not as good as practice.

In fact, ordinary people should feel lucky. After all, no matter what the starting point of Li Shimin is, he still tried his best to achieve most of the behaviors that a famous emperor should have. .

The emperor cared about the people, so of course the emperor's subordinates would not treat the people too badly. If the emperor couldn't come for a grand outing in the garden like today, his confidants would definitely come.

This is a friendly performance.

"Today is really a good weather, all talents gathered together.!"

As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, a young man from a big family stood up immediately: "Mr. Fang. I have a poem that I would like to ask Mr. Fang to be upright!"

"Hey, I have it too. Fang Xiang, I have it too!" Another young man from a big family stood up.

After that, more young people from the family stood up again, wanting to recite poems to Fang Xuanling, but unfortunately, although those poor students were lucky to come here today, they were told early and could not read in advance. say.

This is probably the gap between the humble and the noble.

And the reason why these young people from big families asked to read poems one after another is very simple, it is to show their talents in investment bank papers.

Although there were imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, which gave some opportunities to poor families, the style of submitting papers and recommending them was still prevailing in the Tang Dynasty. Candidates for this subject can select the best of their own literary creations and compile them into long volumes, and dedicate them to dignitaries or celebrities in the literary world in order to gain their appreciation, so as to increase their popularity and chances of ranking.This is the "submission" of the candidates for the test.

Candidates who participated in the imperial examination presented their examination papers one after another in order to be appreciated by dignitaries and nobles, and to be recommended by them to Zhigong Juguan.These scrolls are generally the most proud poems and essays of the examinees on weekdays.

In order to deepen the impression of dignitaries and literary masters on the papers, candidates often visit and present new works after a period of time.Especially when the exam is approaching, candidates should ask the host to find out the facts and understand the situation that the host has explained to the examiner.

During this outing in the garden, you can meet the Zaifu of the Tang Dynasty, which is of course the key to the best investment bank roll, so Fang Xuanling just said a word, and countless family members want to read their own words. The proud work has attracted Fang Xuanling's attention in advance.

"Haha.!" At this time, Changsun Wuji laughed: "Brother Fang, this year's outing in the garden is full of talented people, but don't worry, because today we are here to give you a question.

And there is another piece of good news to tell everyone, when Fang and others came here, His Majesty also bestowed a brocade robe to the winner of today's poetry competition. "

"Wow!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an instant explosion below, but this fryer was a stirrer of excitement, because no one thought that today they would get such a prize, Li Shimin's brocade robe, if they could get Li Shimin's brocade robe , Are you still worried about today's Chunwei?
Hearing the sound of the frying pan below, several adults on the stage showed faint smiles, and among them, Ma Zhou looked at a group of college students standing at the edge of the venue. Knowing that they are students from poor families, they are very embarrassed when they come here, because they may come here temporarily, so they don't even have a place to sit.

The questions will be asked later, and if they don't even have a place to sit, they won't be able to answer the questions at all.

Why did Ma Zhou pay attention to this group of poor students? In fact, this group of poor students came here on short notice. Ma Zhou himself was also a poor student. In 601 AD, he lived in an ordinary farmer’s home in Mazhuang, Chiping Town, Chiping County, Shandong Province. , with a cry of a baby, the legendary Ma Zhou was born.

There is no record in the history books. The details of Ma Zhou's parents are only known. Before Ma Zhou grew up and respected his parents, the two old people passed away. give him.

Ma Zhou is Li Shimin's favored person, and he wants to leave it to the next successor. Although Ma Zhou is just a member of Zhongshushe, but soon, Ma Zhou will shine.

Otherwise, Ma Zhou would not have come here with the prime ministers today, and Li Shimin's brocade robe is also in Ma Zhou's hands, this is Li Shimin's trust in Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou called this group of poor students temporarily because Li Shimin gave him the brocade robe, and Ma Zhou also knew that getting Li Shimin's brocade robe was tantamount to getting a stepping stone to Chunwei Zhongju.

So he temporarily notified these poor students, you know, these poor students Ma Zhou has personally passed the school exam, at least in terms of talent, Ma Zhou agrees very much, but now, these poor students came so late, even a There are no seats, how to answer the question later.

Fortunately, when Ma Zhou was in a hurry, Ma Zhou saw a man dressed as a guard came to the side of these poor students, and then took them to a tent, and invited them to sit down. down.

After Ma Zhou saw clearly all the people in the tent location, he also showed a knowing and thankful smile.

There was Li Zhi's tent. At this time, Ma Zhou had a great impression of Li Zhi in his heart, but Ma Zhou didn't know that it was not Li Zhi who called these poor students aside. During this idle time, Li Zhi at this time was concerned about what questions Fang Xuanling would ask, and it was Li You who really called this group of poor students.
