Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 711 False accusation
When all the situations form a general trend, no one can stop it.

Seeing that Datang had taken the absolute initiative, Sun Xiangfu felt relieved.

During the sports meeting, everyone was in a kind of joy, and the happy days always pass quickly. For more than a month, Jiangling City has left behind many people's joy and tears. By the end of September , with the end of the last game, this hustle and bustle will finally dissipate.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Jiangling City will not be lively anymore. The imperial court released some news immediately after the start of the sports meeting. The captain's son-in-law, Sun Deshou, the eldest son of the Agricultural College, was officially appointed as the Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Wei Ting, the former minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, succeeded Liu Zhenghui as the general manager of Huainan Road.

Li Chengqian once again served as the prince of the supervisory state, sitting in Jiangling City. Tang Jian took over the errands of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also in charge of presiding over the imperial examination held in Jiangling City in late October.

Therefore, when the tourists watching the sports meeting leave, Jiangling City will immediately be filled with students from all over the country. You must know that the Tang Dynasty has promoted education throughout the country for six years, and the current national literacy rate is It has reached about 500 percent. Based on the current population of 500 million, that is 10 million people. Among them, even if there are only [-] percent of those who have the ability to participate in the imperial examination, that is several [-] people.

This unprecedented scale of imperial examinations is also a grand event for Datang, and it can only be arranged in the venues that have been vacated after various competitions in Jiangling City. In the future, the imperial examinations will not dare to be so concentrated After passing the exam, you need to take a diploma by state and county, level by level.

Moreover, instead of taking the exam every three years like now, the exam is taken every year. Those who pass the exam will get a diploma and go to the capital. Internships in enterprises, to see the actual work ability, assess whether they can be engaged in politics, or engage in other industries, that is to say, the imperial examination will not only be a channel for the imperial court to select officials, but also a channel for various industries to select talents.

Your personal future will no longer be reflected in whether you can read, but in whether you can do things and actually complete work tasks. Bookworms without hands-on ability will be eliminated by society, and those who can have their own Those who put forward some advanced theoretical knowledge will be snapped up by various professional industries and quickly realize their self-worth.

Li Shimin still returned to live in Jiuyuan County after the sports meeting. Of course, this is just an illusion. He withdraws from government affairs to prepare for some special things. When the court returns to Chang'an to work again in the spring of next year, he will It will start a road to the west that may last for several years.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu didn't have much time to be lazy at home and play with the children. After all, Li Shimin gave him the festival talisman, so he had to do things.

On the other hand, Sun Jing and Sun Wanting, when they learned that their father and mother had brought a whole family of brothers and sisters to pack up their luggage for a long trip, and they didn't take them with them, they burst into tears, until Sun Xiangfu promised to keep Wukong at home Playing with them is a little better.

What Sun Xiangfu didn't know was that as soon as they left the door, the two little guys immediately put away their tears and looked very happy. Sun Jing took out his own toy, and Sun Wanting took out her own toy for Wukong to sew. After preparing to dress up Wukong, he will take him out to play with his classmates.

Over there, on the boat heading south, Sun Xiangfu had to coax the crying Sun Feng, Sun Wanyu, and a few younger children, assuring them that there are animal trainers and many monkeys in Lingnan. When he went to Lingnan, he must have asked the animal trainer to train a lot of little monkeys to come out to play with them. Feelings, his father is not as good as a monkey until now.

After they calmed down a bit, Sun Xiangfu had the opportunity to talk to Li Tai about his plans after going to Lingnan.

"In the imperial examination at the end of next month, more than 2000 agricultural students should be selected. At that time, on the Lingnan Road side, you have to take a pass and ask for more people, at least three to five hundred, from the twelfth lunar month to March and April next year. In a few months, I will focus on teaching them the knowledge of how to manage these new crops, and in the future, I will hand over this part to them."

"Teacher, don't worry, our Lingnan Road is also the venue for the next sports meeting. In all aspects, the resources of the imperial court will be biased towards us. Five hundred agricultural students, I will definitely help you come here." Li Tai said with a confident look.

During this trip to Jiangling, he received a lot of praise from Li Shimin. Now, Li Shimin has agreed to his food-for-labor plan. As long as the demand for labor is alleviated next year, the development of Lingnan Road will enter a fast pace. The track, its future potential, and its importance to Datang will gradually increase. Perhaps, it can become the third center of gravity of Datang besides Guanzhong and Shannan Road, because it is connected to the entire overseas and sea passages.

While Sun Xiangfu and Li Tai were discussing some future plans for Lingnan on the boat, Li Shimin, who was in the study in Jiuyuan County, almost exploded his lungs. He hadn't had the urge to kill people for many years.

"Come here, drag down and stick to death."

Hearing Li Shimin's verdict, Ma Daquan, the deputy internal servant who was still triumphant just now, suddenly turned pale. He thought that he had exposed the plan of a treacherous minister who wanted to seek the country, but he didn't want to get it in exchange. It is the result of being killed.

"Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, please forgive me! The slaves are also wholeheartedly thinking about the Li family..."

Li Shimin's shouts and Ma Daquan's screams immediately alarmed Wang Deyong, who was waiting outside the door, and he rushed in with his guards.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. You can't let the blood of a filthy person like him pollute the pure land of Jiuyuan County. This servant thinks that even if you die with a stick, you should drag it farther away."

"you······"

Ma Daquan thought that Wang Deyong, who was also an eunuch, would plead for him, but he didn't expect that he opened his mouth and said such words.

However, the guards did not give Ma Daquan a chance to continue speaking, they covered his mouth and waited for Li Shimin's next order.

"Take this dog out of the county for execution." Li Shimin shook his sleeves, still gasping for breath, obviously, his anger had not subsided for a while.

Seeing him like this, Wang Deyong felt that maybe he could tell Li Shimin some of the things he had prepared.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry with an incomplete eunuch. He is today, and he deserves to be blamed. It is a good thing that you have not suffered any loss due to his slander. It is not good to lose your health in vain."

Li Shimin pointed at the door and said, "Do you know what this dog just said to me?"

Wang Deyong nodded and said, "Your servants have heard it just now. Duke Nong is dedicated to serving the people, and his character is comparable to that of ancient sages. How could he do dirty things? However, have you ever thought about it? Maybe this is Duke Nong. And Shangguan Changshi did it deliberately, the purpose is to tell you something."

Hearing what Wang Deyong said, Li Shimin immediately calmed down and began to use his brain to think about the problem.

What happened was not complicated. Sun Xiangfu and Shangguanyi staged a secret discussion behind closed doors on the boat to Liaodong. I wrote three or four letters.

After arriving in Liaodong, Ma Daquan found out that Su Dingfang, who succeeded Zhang Gongjin as the governor of Andong, was Sun Xiangfu's old department. During the few days when Su Dingfang entertained him after taking the edict, he showed special respect for Sun Xiangfu, and, Like Shangguanyi, she communicated very frequently with Sun Xiangfu.

Liaodong now has a population of more than 800 million and a town of Dabian with more than 20 troops!Ma Daquan, who had had some conflicts with Sun Xiangfu, suddenly felt that he might have discovered a terrifying conspiracy, that is, Sun Zhengming was plotting a rebellion.

Based on his understanding of Li Shimin, in this respect, Li Shimin is absolutely untouchable. As long as he tells Li Shimin some doubts, then even if Sun Xiangfu has never done it, he will peel off his skin. At least, he will not Get Li Shimin's trust again.

So, after he came back after declaring the decree, he told Li Shimin about it.

He didn't know that eunuchs discussing politics and falsely accusing ministers were Li Shimin's Achilles' heel. As for people like Sun Xiangfu who would rebel, Li Shimin couldn't believe it even if you talked about it.

However, after listening to Wang Deyong's words, Li Shimin began to reflect.

Why did Qin go to perish?
The eunuch Zhao Gao was in chaos.

Why did the Han Dynasty perish?

Ten regular servants of chaos.

Although this is not the main reason, it is an important factor that accelerated the demise of the dynasty.

What good does the existence of eunuchs do to this country?

It seems that, apart from making them lose their ability to cholera palace, it doesn't have much effect. If it is said that after castration, they will be more loyal to this country and the royal family, that is not necessarily the case. If it is really for the good of this country, Will someone like Ma Daquan jump out and falsely accuse Sun Zhengming?
This is the era of a powerful king like myself. What if a hundred years later, those descendants who grew up under the service of these eunuchs will inherit the throne?
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that this was a big problem. Perhaps, Sun Xiangfu was telling himself in this way that eunuchs had hidden dangers.

Having figured this out, Li Shimin glanced at Wang Deyong, who had served him for more than ten years, and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"

The king bowed down and said, "Some words have been buried in the hearts of slaves for a long time, and I can't vomit them quickly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin raised his hand to signal his excuse, and said, "Say it!"

Wang Deyong organized his language, his face looked a little lonely, and said, "The maidservant sold herself into the palace at the age of 12. At the age of 13, she was assigned to the Palace of the Prince of Qin. She followed the manager of the Palace and served His Majesty's daily life. From then on, I worked all the way for seven years before I became the servant in charge of delivering messages and receiving affairs by your side. Luckily, later on, His Majesty successfully ascended the throne as the emperor, and the status of slaves also increased, and eventually became the one who was respected by everyone inside and outside the palace. Internal servant.

However, what about being an internal servant?
Slaves have no descendants, no relatives, money, status, what is the meaning to slaves?

No.

I don't know when, the servant's heart felt more and more empty, and from time to time, some thoughts that seemed to be very stupid to the servant, the servant has been restraining, trying to make himself behave more normally , put all my thoughts on serving His Majesty.

Later, the servant girl discovered that it was not the servant girl who would have some stupid thoughts because of her physical disability. None of the eunuchs is normal. Some people can barely restrain themselves, and some people can't restrain themselves. Some of them are greedy for money, some are sensitive, they want to kill one or trample that one to death all day long, some are paranoid, and even have a tendency to abuse others..."
