People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 351 Charts
"What is the county lord doing here?"

"Eunuch Wang, please help me look at the stables."

Li Zheng walked away while talking, Wang Ding stared blankly at Li Zheng leaving, a horse snorted as if to dislike Wang Ding.

Wang Ding glanced at the stables, sat down again and kowtowed melon seeds, "The county lord left the old slave here alone, and just left?"

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he left the stables and came to the village alone.

Today's blacksmith shop has officially started.

The decoration of the blacksmith's shop is somewhat simple and needs to be improved.

Seeing that Li Zheng was coming, Tie Da took out the three-edged thorn and handed it to Li Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"

Li Zheng held the three-edged thorn in his hand, and the manufacture of the three-edged thorn was not difficult.

Holding the three-edged thorn in his hand, Li Zheng looked at the condition of the tip. Now that the tip has not started, all that is left is to polish it.

"Very good, just polish it out."

"Here!" Tie Da responded with a bow.

Di Zhixun came over and said, "The magistrate of the county can take a step to speak?"

Glancing at Di Zhixun, Li Zhengcong handed the triangular thorn to Tie Da again for him to continue building.

Following Di Zhixun to the riverside, Li Zheng asked, "Uncle Di, what's the matter?"

Di Zhixun said, "Recently, I heard that His Majesty is going to start the imperial examination, but it is very difficult to do so now."

But when it comes to the imperial examination, it seems that Li Shimin really wants to weaken the influence of the five surnames.

Li Zhengchang sighed and said: "Your Majesty said that the imperial examination is going to be held, but His Majesty is going to do something to the aristocratic family."

"That's right." Di Zhixun also nodded and said: "The biggest obstacle this time is the Qinghe Cui family. Since the Han Dynasty, the Qinghe Cui family has had a high prestige in Shandong. How many scholars will respond to them raising their arms?" .”

"You also want me to find a way?" Li Zheng asked.

Di Zhixun nodded, "It would be best if the County Marquis has a way."

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "My solution is also very simple, just kill them all."

Di Zhixun smiled wryly, "The County Marquis Zhenai said, but this time there was a rumor in the court that His Majesty is investigating the dignitaries."

"Uncle Di is worried about the dignitaries?"

Dickson nodded.

Li Zheng said: "Don't worry, there will be no major incidents. For the royal family, they will protect the dignitaries, especially those new dignitaries who Li Shimin personally helped up. That is, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, etc., they can be said to be The new dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty.

"But the dignitaries that Li Shimin also wants to destroy are those aristocratic families and noble families."

"In what sense do the locations of these great families affect Li Shimin's power rule?"

Li Zheng kept calling His Majesty by his name, but Di Zhixun looked around and said again, "So the County Marquis thought His Majesty was targeting those aristocratic families."

"Otherwise. The new dignitaries are for Li Shimin to consolidate the imperial power, and he needs a bottom-up rule to consolidate his own power."

Li Zheng went on to say: "But those aristocratic families are different. They will be an obstacle to Li Shimin's domination of the world. As for the obstacle, the worst thing is to get rid of it."

Di Zhixun asked: "Do you think His Majesty will really attack the five surnames?"

Li Zheng smiled bitterly, "Knowing how to do it, I don't think he will make a big move, it's almost enough to knock the mountain and shake the tiger."

It makes sense why the five surnames have existed for so long.

Li Shimin is a ruthless person, he can be seen as the top among ruthless people, Li Shimin is not ruthless enough to eradicate the five surnames.

There are many ruthless people in Datang, and there is no shortage of Li Shimin.

Li Zheng went on to say: "Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi, imperial examinations? What kind of imperial examinations are today's imperial examinations?"

"What kind of imperial examination does the county magistrate think is an imperial examination?"

"Fair, just, long-term, and efficient." Li Zheng said.

"Could it be that the current imperial examination county marquis thinks it's unfair?"

Li Zheng said to him: "Does Uncle Di think that the current imperial examinations are fair and just? In the election of the village sages, the scholars traveled from all over the Central Plains and traveled thousands of miles to the capital Chang'an, where they first reported to the Minister of Rites."

"Uncle Di thinks that just because of this step, the imperial examination may be over before people reach Chang'an, and the current imperial examination recommendation system is a hotbed of corruption."

"How many of them have benefited from it, and how many of them have been dismissed by the Xiangxian state government's own opinion, this is unfair."

There are five eunuchs helping Li Chunfeng in the household department, and in the current household department's case file library.

Except for eating, sleeping and daily relief, Li Chunfeng hardly ever went out in the household department's file warehouse.

Dozens of picture scrolls were pieced together and pasted on a wall, and the wall was filled with dense numbers.

Li Chunfeng made the last stroke, and stepped back again to look at the digital icons all over the wall. This kind of chart was learned in Li Zheng's academy.

Seeing the numerical changes on the graph, Li Chunfeng murmured to himself: "Pin Dao has finally figured it out, finally figured it out."

The eunuchs looked at Li Chunfeng, who was almost insane, in astonishment.

Li Chunfeng carefully tore off the drawings on the wall one by one and pasted them on a large wooden board, with the help of several eunuchs carefully pasting them.

Li Chunfeng said: "Be careful, these data are about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

The eunuchs nodded again and again, sticking the canvases carefully.

Until these canvases were pasted up, there was a huge diagram on display.

Letting these eunuchs carry this huge wooden board, Li Chunfeng finally walked out of the household department's file warehouse.

Under the eyes of officials from the household department, Li Chunfeng swaggered out of here, all the way to the front of Ganlu Hall, and Li Chunfeng asked the guards to report.

Li Shimin, who is discussing the imperial examination with Fang Xuanling, has no time to talk to Li Chunfeng now.

The guard said: "Your Majesty, Taoist Master Li Chunfeng also brought a very strange wooden board with some strange things painted on it, and it stood at the gate of Ganlu Palace."

"Strange thing?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Majesty, why don't we go and have a look."

Li Shimin walked out of the Ganlu Hall this time, and when he saw Li Chunfeng, he asked, "Master Li Chunfeng, what are you..."

"Your Majesty! I have been in the household department for so long, and I finally made it." Li Chunfeng moved away to let Li Shimin's eyes fall on this piece of wood, "This is the result of the poor way these days."

Li Shimin looked at this huge chart, and asked curiously: "May I ask what the meaning of the drawing on it is, and why my line is so low."

"Your Majesty, let me listen to the poor Taoist's detailed explanation." Li Chunfeng introduced: "This chart records the current situation in various places, from the time when Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Chanrang Emperor was located in Yang Jian, and Yang Jian changed his country name to Sui until now."

"Pindao records the population, annual grain income, business taxes, and the number of corvee workers."

There are a total of four records in the above. Fang Xuanling looked at this big chart, but it was clear at a glance that the Sui Dynasty began to prosper, and the population of the Sui Dynasty began to decline gradually from the beginning of the year, and there was no data until the end of the Sui Dynasty. A ten-year hiatus.
