Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 623 The money can make a ghost run the mill

Clothes and food are inseparable from money, building dikes and dams is inseparable from money, and encouraging farmers and workers also requires money, just like Li Chengqian gave Shi Renji three years of taxes, there is no great governance without money, in a word, money is not everything , but without the past is absolutely impossible!

At this time of year, Chang'an City gathers scholars from all walks of life from all over the country to come here to fight.

Because of the imperial examination, a number of industries related to literati and poets emerged in Chang'an City, which added a lot of taxes to Chang'an City. Needless to say, industries such as teahouses and restaurants for people to eat and drink. The most distinctive thing is library.

Needless to say, the library is a place opened in the emperor's private name for scholars to read classics. All the books that scholars usually encounter but cannot find can be found here, so it has become everyone's favorite place .

Of course, to build such a large library with such a wide range of subjects, there is naturally a lot of money. Li Shimin, who is used to exploiting his son, will definitely not pay for it by himself. Regulation of libraries.

When the library was completed, the emperor made a special trip to check the hardware measures such as the exquisite tables, chairs, benches and bookshelves inside. At the same time, he also took out a few books printed on new paper, and then paid the money in a fatherly tone. After praising Li Chengqian, other courtiers and others on the side also congratulated each other well.

This made him feel that money can turn ghosts around. This money is really a good thing. Regardless of whether you have a good eye or not, you will say a few nice words, education to rejuvenate the country.When you have nothing to do, you can also have a cup of tea, hold a roll in your hand, and enjoy it like a hermit with idle clouds and wild cranes. Can you not say something nice?

The environment is elegant and the atmosphere of books is strong. Many officials and literati often gather here to meet friends, and then flow out many "popular" poems and songs, which play a role in promoting the development of literature and art. It can be said that here It has become a unique banner of Datang literature and art.

Things always develop in two directions, there are good ones, and there are bad ones. There are many arty dandies in Chang'an City. When they attend various banquets and Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, it is inevitable to write a poem .But there is something in their stomachs, and the things they learned in the early years have long been returned to the husband.

So I had to find someone to write it for me. The most gathering of scholars in Chang'an City is the "Zhenguan Library" inscribed by the emperor himself. If you don't get together here, go there!And among those scholars, many of them are the children of poor families from poor families. Their families are already struggling to provide for them to study. Now they exchange their talents and learning for some money to subsidize their living and family, so why not do it, so both of them It hits it off, like a fish in water, and the cooperation is seamless.

Such a thing, as the banquet that Dugu Rui, the top dude, will participate in, can be arranged from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and this kid has no ink, so of course the inexhaustible resources of the Zhenguan Library cannot be let go. So it makes sense to be a regular here.

No, after visiting my little nephew in the East Palace this afternoon, I planned to "make" two songs, so that I can use them at the banquet tonight, but unfortunately, his mouth is really weak and he missed it when he was talking to Li Chengqian. , made his brother-in-law interested, and insisted on seeing how they traded, which instantly made Dugu Rui feel like a dead dog in his heart, but there was no way, the imperial power oppressed others, he had no choice but to Like a rooster who has lost a fight, he can set his head and lead the way.

In the private room on the third floor of Zhenguan Library, Li Chengqian was drinking tea calmly, but Dugu Ruique kept wiping his cold sweat with his sleeve like midsummer. The reason is very simple. They all unanimously invited him to some old strongholds in Pingkangfang to have fun, which made Dugu Rui's face ashamed like a blushing apple.

As a father and brother-in-law, Li Chengqian can control him no matter whether it is public or private. Now that the parents have caught the braid, no matter how thick-skinned Dugu Rui is, he can't stand it!

"Xiuwen, the level of poetry here is average. They are all doggerel poems for drinking and eating meat. Why, if you have money to go to Pingkangfang, can't you spend two more money to buy some good quality poems? If you don't have money, you can talk to your brother-in-law Tell me!" Li Chengqian said with a smile after sending out a few manuscripts.

"This, this, brother-in-law, you also know that the ink in my stomach is limited, if you make it too high, no one will believe it when you take it out, so you can only find some words and use it.

Don't get me wrong, my younger brother is not the only one who does this, the elders like Lu Guogong and E Guogong also do it.However, if you want to punish, just punish the little brother alone. If people know that the little brother smashed everyone's stuff, it will be hated by thousands of people. "

As Dugu Rui said, he carefully looked at his brother-in-law, he knew that it would be a loss of character for a literati to sell.My brother-in-law is a disciple of the great Confucianist Li Gang, and he studied under everyone. Of course, he despises such an act of using literature for profit, so it is inevitable that the next hand order will punish them.

There are a lot of people in the court who can't type like Cheng Zhijie and Yu Chigong. The old guys have been laughed at for half their lives. Of course they are happy to have this kind of place to make up for. There is no "everybody gets everything", so you can only hold your nose and admit that the old hooligan has improved.

In addition, those scholars who make a living by this, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. The ghost knows that they will be officials one day. Although they are relatives of the emperor, they can't stand the hatred of so many people. His heart can bear it It is very different from Wei Zheng.

"You kid, think about it. In your heart, brother-in-law is such an unreasonable person. Since it is something that people don't want to be promoted and officials don't want to be arrested, why do you want to be such a bad person! Interesting, it is true that money can make ghosts push him away." Mo, as long as you are willing to spend money, someone will customize poems for you."

During the conversation, Li Chengqian beckoned to Dugu Rui to signal him to sit down first, and then continued: "Of course, what interests Gurui is not the poems and relatives and precious things. I heard from Zhongliang that as long as the price is right, I will be a substitute for the examination in the Tribute Academy." It’s not a problem, is it true?”

Phew, hearing that her brother-in-law didn't come to trouble her, Dugu Rui let out a long breath, patted her chest, and sighed in her heart: I'm so lucky.But he was really shocked when he heard that these guys who wrote poems were able to enter the Gongyuan Academy for the exam.

"Brother-in-law, you are here to investigate the case. I know you well. If you have something to say, we will definitely take care of it for you!" Dugu Rui patted his chest with an expression of "our brothers are all over the world". There is a world of difference in the expression of the dead mother.

Hehe, after chuckling a few times, Li Chengqian nodded. His little brother-in-law is not very capable, but he is really good at observing words and expressions.So he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm just here to take a look. Naturally, someone will handle the case investigation, but your good intentions can't be let down. Go to Beizhen Fusi to find Zhong Liang later, and the case is settled." , brother-in-law will be rewarded a lot!".
