This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

To be able to make this decision, Li Er actually thought about it a lot during this period.

Of course, if it wasn't for the resurgence of Yuanmou's old officials, and the fact that the nobles were unwilling to be lonely, he would not have made a decision so quickly.

For him, he can accept whoever of his sons inherits the great treasure, as long as the surname in the world is still Li.

But Li Ke was connected with the old ministers of Yuanmou and the nobles of the Five Surnames and Qiwang, which he could not accept.

If he really wants these guys to succeed, wouldn't what he has done for so many years be in vain?
As for why he chose Wang Renyou, this was something he carefully considered.

After all, it would be too obvious to let the nobles go directly.

But Wang Renyou is different. If he goes, he probably won't need the nobles to take the initiative to seduce him, and he will rush towards the nobles himself.

People like Changsun Wuji were also thinking deeply at this moment.

After a long time, Duan Lun said: "Your Majesty, Taohe County has built many industries under the leadership of Changsun Pushe, and now is a critical period of reform.

Will it affect the reform of Taohe County if the nobles are involved now? "

Yes, Taohe County is reforming.

When Changsun Wuji was building industries in Taohe County, he was actually punished.

Li Er also discussed with everyone that if the entire Tang Dynasty behaves like this, it may cause some unnecessary fluctuations.

Therefore, everyone still approved of Changsun Wuji's small-scale experiment in Taohe County.

After all, no one knows what the consequences will be if we unleash this behemoth of industry.

However, Taohe County is adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, so it is feasible to serve as a vanguard army. In addition, in Taohe County, the influence of the gentry is the lowest, and it will not cause too much backlash, so it is the most suitable place.

Of course, being located in the bitter cold land of the northwest, the nobles may not necessarily think highly of it.

After hearing what Duan Lun said, Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up and said, "What Duan Shangshu said is true. Now the reforms in Taohe County have begun to bear fruit.

Some daily necessities on the market are mostly produced in Taohe County.

Although it cannot occupy the market in a short period of time, it is much better than the previous Ming Dynasty's near-monopoly market. Moreover, Taohe County really occupies the right time, place and people in the Tang Dynasty. There will be no chance to regain these markets in the future.

It may not be a good thing to let the nobles get involved now.

Moreover, once the nobles are allowed to take root in Taohe County, they may be in danger of becoming powerful in the future. "

What he said was true. Although the workshops and even businesses that Changsun Wuji built in Taohe County did not compete with the Ming Dynasty, they still achieved results.

Although this was due to Changsun Wuji's use of tactics, as Wei Zheng said, Taohe County really had the right time, place, and people.

Of course, when Wei Zheng said this, he did not necessarily mean that he was worried about the gentry.

Perhaps, he was even more worried about letting the nobles and Li Chengqian fight head-on.

After all, both parties have the foundation of Datang, and he is not willing to see whoever suffers too much loss.

However, when Li Er heard this, he waved his hand and said, "You gentlemen are overly worried.

Since the path of change is correct, it must be promoted sooner or later.

It is actually a good thing to let the nobles get in touch at this time.

They are old-fashioned and unwilling to accept all this. In the final analysis, they still have no personal understanding.

This time, it is to let them understand personally, maybe they will be willing to change in the future?
I have seen the changes in Taohe County over the years, and so must all the ministers?Whether it is me, the ministers or the nobles in the world, if they cannot keep up with the times, they will be eliminated.

Therefore, instead of letting them object without understanding anything and causing us trouble, it is better to let them understand and change on their own. "

Does what Li Er said make sense?

Of course it makes sense.

It's just that everyone sounds like they have a headache.

This is not a question of whether it makes sense or not, but Li Er's purpose.

Will the gentry live in harmony with Li Chengqian?Living next to each other, God knows what will happen.

The key is, it's hard to say whether Li Chengqian looks like Li Er in other places, but he is really narrow-minded and has the same streak.

But since Li Er said so, everyone no longer objected.

On the same day, the decree was passed down.

And when the decree was issued, Wang Renyou, who was originally unknown, suddenly became the subject of everyone's discussion.

Who is this guy?
Countless people are asking questions.

The Prime Minister of Taohe County is a hot commodity nowadays.

You know, since the establishment of Taohe County, who among the officials appointed by the imperial court has not been an outstanding person?
Whether it is Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang or Xu Jingzong, they are all famous figures for a long time.

At this time, Wang Renyou suddenly appeared. Who the hell knows who this guy is?

But that's the only good thing about Chang'an, it's well-informed.

That night, the news about Wang Renyou had already spread.

At this moment, everyone in Zheng Xu's house looked at Wang Renyou's information and was a little speechless. They looked at Wang Shilang and said with a smile: "Is this a member of your Taiyuan Wang family?"

Wang Shilang didn't want to speak, he thought to himself, are you blind?Can't read?

But at this moment, the people from the Cui family in Qinghe smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether it was in the past, it can be in the future."

"That's the truth." The Lu family also laughed, "We are worried about not having the opportunity to get involved in the industry, so Wang Renyou is a good candidate."

Speaking of this, Wang Shilang also nodded, but he had no objection to this.

Things are so realistic. As long as you, Wang Renyou, are really valuable, let alone that you were really born in Taiyuan, even if you weren't, what if you were allowed to be a side disciple?

In the final analysis, becoming a member of the Taiyuan Wang clan depends on ability and value.

If I personally want to rely on the big clan, the big clan won't really refuse.

Judging from the fact that the Taiyuan Wang family did not make any excuses for Wang Renyou's self-proclaimed sect, it can actually explain the problem.

If they had jumped out to refute Wang Renyou back then, it would be too late for them to do anything today.

"According to the information, Wang Renyou is now working in Luoshan? Is this the territory of your Zheng family?" Wang Shilang said, "Send someone from your Zheng family to contact him first to see his reaction."

Wang Renyou is now serving as the Luoshan Order, but he happens to be in the boundary of Xingyang, so it is necessary for the Zheng family to send someone to contact him.

Hearing this, Zheng Xu nodded and said, "That's no problem. I'll just write a letter and ask the clan to arrange for someone to contact him.

But His Majesty has appointed such a person this time. Why do you think it is?
I took a look at Wang Renyou's civil service evaluation in recent years, and found that he was just passable, not amazing. He was directly promoted from Luoshan Order to Taohe County's Prime Minister. This promotion speed is not slow. "

After hearing what Zheng Xu said, everyone also thought about it.

Indeed, if you look at Wang Renyou's resume alone, he is not qualified. In addition, no one recommended him, so this promotion is really weird.

"Will it be because of Wang Renyou's background as a Jinshi?" The Lu family laughed, "We all know His Majesty's intentions recently, in order to avoid brain drain, His Majesty has done a lot of things.

This Wang Renyou's family background is not obvious, and he happens to be a Jinshi. Promotion of him at this time can give many scholars hope.

Wasn't that what Ma Zhou was like before? "Everyone nodded, but soon someone shook their head and said: "Although Wang Renyou's family background is not obvious, his wife's family was born in the Hedong Liu family. Could it be that the Hedong Liu family secretly contributed? "

Someone immediately retorted: "During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Liu family in Hedong had some ability, but today, do they have this ability? This Taohe County Prime Minister, let alone the Liu family in Hedong, even your family and I have no Are you absolutely sure you can win it?
Besides, if the Hedong Liu family was really capable, how could they let their legitimate daughter marry Wang Renyou?They just saw that Wang Renyou had won the Jinshi and invested casually. Maybe, they really took the surname Wang Renyou as a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Who knows, they all thought they were married to the Wang family. "

They really didn't pay attention to the Hedong Liu family. Although they were both noble clans, the Hedong Liu family's glory was too short-lived.

Of course, they didn't know that the Hedong Liu family really had a second spring because of Wang Renyou.

As Wang Renyou's legitimate daughter moved into the harem, Mother Yi Tianxia, ​​Liu Shi of the Liu family in Hedong soared to the sky and took charge of the Tang Dynasty. Her descendants also became the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties who are famous throughout the ages. You know, they are said to be the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. family, but by the end of the Tang Dynasty, only two people were selected, and the remaining six were all from the Song Dynasty.

As for Li Er plotting against them, they had never thought about it. After all, Wang Renyou really had nothing to do with the Taiyuan Wang family. Not only they, but also Li Er knew this.

……

Zhenguan 13 years, the third day of the first lunar month.

Luoshan County.

Wang Renyou was teasing his daughter in the backyard of the county government office.

The Tang Dynasty was relatively humane, and officials had a lot of holidays every year.

Especially since there are seven days of rest during the Winter Solstice and Spring Festival, Wang Renyou does not have to deal with official duties today.

As for Mrs. Liu, she was busy with her servants at the moment. There was a new year and a new atmosphere. Anyway, she didn't take a break.

At this moment, a servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a visitor outside the door."

Wang Renyou, who was teasing his daughter, heard this and said with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year and there are distinguished guests coming to our door. Please come in and tell the kitchen to prepare a banquet."

It's the third year of junior high school and I have guests visiting me. This is normal.

If no one came, he would be surprised.

As the county official of Luoshan County, which year is there not an endless stream of visitors during the Chinese New Year?
As for who it was, he didn't even ask.

Soon, a middle-aged man came in with a group of servants and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng came uninvited and disturbed the county magistrate."

Seeing the visitor, Wang Renyou put down his daughter, patted her on the head, and let her play by herself. Then he stood up and said with a smile, "It's hard to welcome a distinguished guest from afar."

After saying this, there was doubt in my heart, thinking, who is this?

Yes, he didn't know him. As for Chao Zheng's family, he didn't think about it.

Just as people with the surname Wang are everywhere in Taiyuan, the same is true in Luoshan, where people with the surname Zheng are everywhere.

Besides, who is he? Can the Zheng family send someone to pay him New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year?
"By the way, Mr. Zheng is here today to congratulate the county magistrate." As he said that, the middle-aged man suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, I am not the county magistrate now. I should be congratulating Wang Juncheng." ”

What is this all about?
Wang Renyou was confused.

He really doesn't know anything.

Although the imperial court had already issued the decree, it was not that fast to go through the process and reach him. In addition, it was the New Year's Eve, so it would have to be at least after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year if he really had to wait for him to receive the decree.

"It seems Wang Juncheng doesn't know yet?" the middle-aged man said with a smile, "That's right. Although the imperial decree has been issued, it happens to be the Chinese New Year, so we may have to wait a few more days.

By the way, I am Zheng Yuanshan, and my father is Zheng Yi from Xingyang. "

When Wang Renyou heard this, he was stunned.

He really didn't know whether he was a county magistrate or not, but when he heard the four words "Xingyang Zheng Yi", he was really stunned.

As an official in Luoshan, it is impossible not to know about Xingyang Zheng's translation.

The founder of the former Sui Dynasty!

Zheng Yuanshan?
Thinking like this, Wang Renyou was really stunned. Yes, Xingyang Zheng Yuanshan, he remembered who the person in front of him was.

Yes, I remembered.

"It's a neglect, it's really a neglect." Wang Renyou said hurriedly, "Today a distinguished guest came to our door, which really surprised Mr. Wang.

Come on, tell me to go down, I will thank you behind closed doors today!Inform the visitor that I have a distinguished guest to entertain you today. If there is anything wrong, I will ask the Japanese official to come and apologize. "

Are you kidding? People from the Zheng family in Xingyang are here, can he still receive others?

In this world, the Zheng family is the sky!

As for whether it is fake.

Haha, in this world, there may be officials pretending to be from the capital, but no one who pretends to be Zheng Yuanshan of the Zheng family is so brave.

After saying that, Wang Renyou looked at Zheng Yuanshan again and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, please take a seat."

Zheng Yuanshan was not surprised by Wang Renyou's reaction. It was so normal. His Zheng family was still a guest in this world, even if he went to the Governor's Mansion.

Only at this time did Wang Renyou have time to think about the matter of the county magistrate.

He murmured silently in his heart, listening to what Zheng Yuanshan means, am I promoted?

He was a little confused, but at the same time he was also a little helpless. This was because his family had no confidence. Everyone outside the family knew that he had been promoted, but as the person involved, hehe, he was still kept in the dark.

Thinking like this, Wang Renyou said with a smile: "I have been an official in Luoshan for many years, but I did not visit Brother Zheng in person, which made Brother Zheng laugh."

Although he was very curious, he didn't rush to ask anything.

Since Zheng Yuanshan can come to the door in person, it means that this position is useful to them. At least, he has now entered their sight.

He was happy about this.

How could he refuse if he could establish a relationship with these noble families?

Seeing this, Zheng Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction, and soon told the whole story without hiding anything.

As for the Wang family's affairs, he didn't mention it. It depends on Wang Renyou's attitude before making a decision.

But after Wang Renyou heard all this, he was stunned.

Others are just sitting at home, and disasters come from heaven. What does this mean to them?
But when he heard that it was appointed by His Majesty, he was excited. What is this called? This is called Jane in the Emperor's heart.

At this time, he finally understood that guys like the gentry were interested in his position.

Suddenly, Wang Renyou had many ideas.

My inner activities have become richer.

I am already in the emperor's heart, do I really need to rely on these nobles?
With His Majesty's support, he will not be able to create another Taiyuan Wang family in the future.

However, he quickly gave up this idea.

If he had just won the imperial examination, he might have still had this impulsiveness and drive, but after several years of doing Luoshan Order, he had actually noticed it.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside!

No, it’s not that the imperial power can’t go to the countryside, it’s that the imperial power can’t go to the countryside...

With this thought, his choice was actually very clear.
