Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 532
For Liu Mu's request, Li Shimin agreed without a second word.

"Okay, give them three. But the second brother has to make a request. The Sixth Department of Chang'an will choose at least [-] really famous and talented people for the second brother. The second brother will build a school. The two of them Each should send a real celebrity to be a doctor."

After making the request, Li Shimin said again: "Second brother personally inspected the election of the Ministry of Officials. It is said that 8000 people applied for the election, but there are less than 300 real celebrities, and there are not even [-] people with outstanding talents from various aristocratic families. Among the humble scholars, there are only five who are really talented like Ma Zhou, and there are no more than thirty or so who are barely good."

"It would be nice to have one such genius as Ma Zhou."

"Second brother wants one hundred." Li Shimin's attitude is very clear, what I want to manage is the Tang Dynasty, not your four counties plus a few workshops, so you need as many talents as you have.

Li Shimin said again: "Whoever wants to occupy a position in the Donggang Shipping Department should first send a real celebrity to the court to be an official."

Willow knows this history.

In real history, outstanding talents from aristocratic families were unwilling to be officials in the early Tang Dynasty. This did not change until the fourth or fifth year of Zhenguan, when the Great Tang Dynasty appeared.

Because before the Tang Dynasty, there was no national-level education system at all, and those who were well-educated were all descendants of aristocratic families.

The humble family wants to study and doesn't even have books, so how can they become useful?

Liu Mu said: "Second brother, why do Xiao Xie and his family want to go to Donggang to recruit Si Sai people?"

After Jing Liumu reminded Li Shimin, he also came back to his senses: "It is because there are opportunities to show their talents, and it is a place of abundance."

"Without Datang, there would be no Westport and Eastport."

Li Shimin began to ponder, what Liu Mu said was reasonable, not to mention that the officials of Datang were not tiles, but real jewels.

"If that's the case, then you can wait." Li Shimin agreed with Liu Mu's suggestion.

"Second brother, let them send people to the school to send famous people as teachers, and then borrow the books in their homes to reprint. The school can train many talents, but according to historical records, people from poor families who are officials are greedy for money The bottom limit of the door is too much lower than the bottom of the door." Liu Mu suggested again.

Li Shimin agrees: "Well, it makes sense. These days, I plan to catch one or two particularly hateful ones, and then Ling Chi."

After hearing this, Liu Mu believed even more.

History is written by people.

It is written in history books that Li Shimin practiced a benevolent government, and the death penalty must be sent to him for review.

Now it seems that there may be a misunderstanding.

Li Shimin did not need to clean up after the Xuanwumen change and the notoriety of killing his brothers and imprisoning his father.Moreover, Li Shimin has led troops to recruit and kill since he was 14 years old, so he is not a soft-hearted person at all.

Another reason for demonstrating its benevolent governance is that Datang does not have enough good officials to use.

There are redundant officials in Chang'an, but those who are dismissed are all trash, and they are all trash when they are sent out.Li Shimin's benevolence is also to attract real talents to become officials, to create a prosperous age for his Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin listened to Liu Mu's opinion. As long as Datang showed the state of prosperity, there must be real talents who will become officials.

What are you planning for the official?
The children of powerful families don't have to worry about food and drink. They prefer to travel around the world and study their favorite knowledge.

Being an official is a platform to show yourself, but not everyone pursues this.

Take the modern age of later generations as an example, people who were born with a golden key in their mouth will never take the single-plank bridge of the national examination. They have their own ambitions, ideals, or the luxurious life they choose.

The willow wood was used as a bridge, and after Li Shimin had a good deal with Xiao and Xie, he packed up and prepared to go back to his Sanyuan village.

But what Liu Mu didn't expect was that a girl in palace costume stood in front of his carriage when he was about to leave Chang'an.

"Who is this!" Liu Mu was ready to get off the carriage as soon as he helped the door.

The willow four-wheeled carriage has doors, soft seats, and a small bar.

After Liu Mu got off the car, Dugu Lanruo also got off the car.

Before Liu Mu could speak, Dugu Lanruo walked towards the girl: "Xiangcheng, why are you here?"

"Aunt Huang, Xiangcheng would like to ask you to deliver the seal on your behalf." The girl is Li Shimin's eldest daughter, Princess Xiangcheng. She has entered the countdown to get married and has begun to learn some necessary knowledge, and then the Ministry of Industry has begun to allocate land for her. Prepare to build the princess mansion.

Dugu Lanruo took the unofficial form, glanced at it, and handed it to Liu Mu: "My husband will do it, and you will definitely be able to do it. I can't, and Xiangcheng may not even be able to hand over this form." , not even a chance to speak."

After Liu Mu took the watch and read it, a piece of history that he had read appeared in his mind.

Although the current scene is different from history, it also has something in common, that is, how countless histories have changed, but a person's character and ideas will not change.

"Okay, leave it to me. It's okay." Liu Mu took the watch and asked for a horse to go back to Chang'an Duke Yi's mansion.

Dugu Lanruo invited Princess Xiangcheng to live in her Zhuangzi in Jingyang.

After Dugu Lanruo got into the carriage, Liu Mu grabbed Baoqin and said, "Go and tell Su Woling to let her prepare. I will go find her after I finish my work in Chang'an and stay with her for a few days. Then you Tell Ye Siniang that the plan has started, and the manpower will be prepared for me in advance."

"En." After Baoqin nodded heavily, he followed Dugu Lanruo into the carriage.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Mu applied to participate in the court meeting.

No official, no job, even the prince consort Duwei has not been restored, there is only Liu Mu with the title of Duke of Sanyuan County, and no one in the court dares to despise this prince consort.

After Liu Mu arrived at Tai Chi Hall, many people came over to say hello warmly.

Xiao Yu's dismissal of the old man's refusal and the marriage granted by the eldest son have not been officially announced. Li Shimin plans to announce these when he sacrifices to heaven and earth, so this court meeting is still a daily court meeting.

After talking about several important topics, Liu Mu made an exception.

"The younger brother has a watch."

After the eunuch in charge gave the seal to Li Shimin and put it on the imperial case, Liu Mu said, "My brother wrote a letter for Princess Xiangcheng on behalf of Princess Changping. My brother thinks that it is necessary to be a child in the morning and evening. Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, but the son is loyal to the court outside, and the daughter-in-law acts filial piety on behalf of the son is the way of human relations."

"The old minister thinks what Liu Fuma said is very true. The Book of Rites says: For the gift of being a son, winter is warm and summer is clear, and the morning is quiet. The minister supports it." The one who spoke was Pei Ju, a real old minister with high morals public.

Immediately afterwards, apart from Xiao Yu who was the party concerned, fifteen veteran officials came out to express their support.

Courtesy and filial piety are the foundation of running a family and the foundation of running a country.
