Ji Tang

Chapter 1478 The brand new Honglu Temple!

".Chengdu Academy, Jiangdong Academy, Jiangling Academy, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Xuanzhou Academy, etc. They may not be as large as Taibai Academy, but their strength cannot be underestimated. Every year, students pass the Jinshi examination or enter the official system of the Tang Dynasty. They have backgrounds, status, and are students from regular academies. Although they are not as good as Taibai Academy, they are still talented people."

Finally, the eldest grandson said: "I sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to inquire. Just last year, there were more than 130,000 graduating students from all over the country, and the number is still increasing every year."

"How is this possible?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin was not surprised, but broke into cold sweat. If there are tens of thousands of people every year, it will not be difficult to digest with Datang's understanding. Although the good position is gone, at least there is a place to arrange it.

But the 130,000 students are still talented people with backgrounds and teachers who came from orthodox academies. This is a prelude to an explosion!

"Go, call Ji Song and the emperor immediately. What nonsense, they are already sitting in the crater of the volcano that is about to erupt. What kind of ceremony do they have in mind to hold for me? What nonsense, go and call them."

"Wait a minute!"

Changsun stopped the emperor and asked Chen Shou, who was about to go out to call for help, to stop.

"Your Majesty, please be patient!"

But how can Li Shimin care about this now? In the past, they were short of scholars, but even if they had more later, they could still digest it. But now, how could the Tang Dynasty digest 130,000 people?
If this is not handled properly, big trouble will result. It is said that those who are righteous will not slaughter dogs, but those who have a negative heart are scholars. If there are too many scholars, there will be too many minds, and the ideas will become confused.

Especially if the imperial court cannot properly accommodate them. If this continues, once they become dissatisfied, the Tang Dynasty will be completely over. What worries him even more is that once Datang cannot satisfy them, they may have to fly away. How could he go to a neighboring country and seek refuge with a noble family?

"Do you really think Cheng Qian didn't find out? Then you underestimate our son and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!"

Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: "What? They already have a solution?"

"Not bad!"

"Not only is there a way, but it's also done very well. At least I didn't find any big problems after listening to it!"

Later, Changsun told Li Chengqian how to deal with it, and Li Shimin immediately showed a shocked look.

"I see!"

He smiled bitterly and said: "I am old, I am old after all. Ji Song is right, a new generation replaces the old!"

He also understood at this time that it was nothing more than bringing truly talented people into the imperial system through the imperial examination. Once these smart people were stable, the rest would be easier to handle.

In order to solve the problem, he also took the initiative to connect the students and find a way out for them.

Some go to overseas territories, some go to vassal countries, and some serve aristocratic families. These people have a way out. Although it goes against their expectations, it is at least not bad. Maintaining a decent life does not mean burying them. Moreover, the imperial court also stipulated that when they want to return to the Central Plains, they will do their best to open the door for them. Those who can make arrangements, and those who cannot, will be treated according to the corresponding grades.

There are court officials, and they also have them, and they will not face resistance or discrimination because they serve other countries or overseas territories. However, the imperial court also had requirements, and there was only one requirement, which was that the interests of the Tang Dynasty could not be harmed, otherwise they would be brought to justice even from the ends of the earth.

"Okay, I can really feel relieved now!" Li Shimin said happily.

"So, this time is not just for me, but to find a way out for these people, or to give vassal countries and other countries a chance?"

"Yes, after all, they don't understand the situation in Datang. When they come to Datang, we will give them some guidance. Seeing that we have so many talents in Datang, as long as they are not stupid, can they still endure it?"

"What's more, the Tang Dynasty is extremely tolerant of students who go abroad. As long as they don't do anything harmful to the interests of the Tang Dynasty, they are extremely free."

"And the Tang Dynasty can also slowly assimilate those national forces through the influence of students. Since ancient times, we in the Central Plains have had the idea of ​​returning to their roots. As long as their retreat is not blocked, few people are willing to offend the mother country to death."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "That's good, now I feel relieved!"

Then he looked at Ji Song's arrangements, which detailed the items and specifications of the celebration, as well as the invitees. Every time he saw this memorial, he couldn't help himself. If he really followed the above arrangements, this celebration would be a grand ceremony that attracted the attention of the world and would be difficult for future generations to surpass.

And the name of the Tang Dynasty will spread across the world with the arrival of envoys from various countries, shocking everyone! -
Wang Xuance started preparations immediately after the last court meeting, and now he planned to go in person to greet the envoys from various countries. It's not that he has to do it, but he doesn't want any accidents to happen.

The world is huge and there are so many countries. There are always some people who can't see the situation clearly, who are arrogant and don't know what to say!
In the past, Datang would have ignored it as if it were an ant. As long as it was not an eyesore, he would have done whatever he liked and treated it as a joke.

But this time is different. This time the ceremony is of great significance. It is not just a celebration for the Supreme Emperor, but a combination of multiple factors and demands. You must not be careless at all.

In the lobby of Honglu Temple, Wang Xuance sat at the top of the table. In the absence of Dahonglu, he is the actual helmsman of Honglu Temple. And it is true that he has been in charge of politics for many years.

Looking at the crowd of subordinates below, he showed a proud look. Since he took over the Honglu Temple, he has fired many officials without mercy, which can be described as a drastic method.

Later, young people who were eloquent, flexible, and resourceful were selected from the academy and the annual Jinshi to enter Honglu Temple. They are young, energetic, and have not yet been corrupted by the methods in the court. This is the time when they can be most molded.

Compared with the previous Honglu Temple, the current staff directly under the government has more than ten times increased. But most of them were sent out to various countries to serve as ambassadors and establish Datang embassies.

The number of people varies depending on the specifications, but the worst countries have more than a hundred people. For example, the total number of people in Dashi, Persia, and the Eastern Roman Empire totaled thousands.

Each embassy has one chief minister, two deputy envoys, two military attachés, ten retinues and varying amounts of troops.

Their mission is to monitor the trends of various countries and negotiate and communicate with their leaders. In addition, they also spy on their domestic conditions, whether it is economic, military, or folk customs, all within their scope.

Every time they come back over the years, they have brought a lot of good things, as well as detailed information about various countries. These are extremely precious materials.

They are like this, and other countries are no less generous when they are envoys. These countries all know this very well. To put it bluntly, they are intelligence collectors who put their name to the public.

For this reason, all countries that send ambassadors to each other have signed a covenant that if the two countries go to war, they will not kill the envoys. Once someone breaches the contract, they will be attacked in groups and will no longer be protected by major powers. No one is allowed to provide any support to them.
