Zhang Nuoke is not used to Lao Li at all. He understands this Lao Li. He is not very capable and has a lot of trouble. If he doesn't whip and urge him behind him with a whip, he might forget what he promised one day. up.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo said bluntly,

"Come on, the craftsmen and slave labor you promised before have not been delivered, and when will the salt mine documents be delivered, there are too many things you promised to fail to do!"

Li Shimin was made a little anxious by Zhang Nuo's robbing, but he didn't know how to refute. In the end, he could only comfort himself with disdain. Of course, I can't compare with this lazy bastard. Forget about little things What matters.

However, I can't continue talking about this anymore, it's better to change the topic quickly,

"By the way, it's about the officer. I'm going to find some from the general in my cousin's house, and send them to you when the time comes!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback, Lao Li is so easy to talk today?Not bad, finally got the hang of it, know not to offend the chairman?

"Your cousin? Who?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said proudly,

"Hejian County King, Li Xiaogong, the general who has led the army for many years, do you think his family will be able to do it?"

Zhang Nuo happily patted the table,

"Okay, that's okay! These people must have been on the battlefield with the prince. The middle-level officers are the most suitable. When the time comes, we will cooperate with Captain Cheng and wait for the three generals, and our team will be established. !"

Li Shimin also nodded with a smile. This is what he thought. Isn't the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang just short of people, and he also lacks officers?That's just right, all the imperial guard officers under Xingben's hands over the years are all warriors on the battlefield, it's a pity to put them in the palace as gatekeepers, and they just happened to be sent to Zhuangzi.

Moreover, these people have worked in the palace before, so they know how to obey the rules and how to shut up, so they don't have to worry about showing their feet.

Zhang Nuo didn't expect that the manpower problem he had been pondering for a long time would be solved in a few words when he came to Lao Li. He really had to admire the monopoly of these aristocratic families on talents.

He worked hard for a long time to find a few worthy ones to cultivate, and now he has to teach them slowly.

But he and Lao Li had only just talked, and there were officers and stewards, and they could still settle it with one word. This shows that they are all Lao Li's people, at least they are also members of the family!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li and sighed slowly,

"You guys are still amazing. I don't know how many talents are hidden in the pocket. They can be released when needed. No wonder you can pass them down!"

Li Shimin knew what Zhang Nuo was talking about, but it hit on the aristocratic family he talked about when chatting with Du Ruhui a few days ago. He sighed and shook his head, and said seriously,

"This is nothing, it's just a few managers and low-level military officers, and this is not considered a big family. Those real families with a thousand years of history are the most terrifying. Why are there so many children from the family in the court? Don't you think there is no way to leave them? "

Zhang Nuo gave Lao Li a disdainful look,

"It's nonsense, what do you mean the children of the Li family can't do anything? Isn't it all because your royal family relaxes slowly and gives them the opportunity to grow up slowly?"

"Everyone can turn around without leaving the court. It's just that the efficiency is not so high. There is nothing to worry about!"

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this, and then approached Zhang Nuo with a smile on his lips and said,

"Then hurry up and tell Brother Wei, in this court, how can the children of the aristocratic family still be transferred?"

Chapter 221 Zhang Nuo's Trick

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li with a flattering smile on his face, especially that big face, which was extremely crooked, and said angrily,

"I said, Lao Li, you have to understand that you are just a royal family member and businessman with royal blood, and you are not the current emperor. I said why do you worry about this every day?"

"Look at me, I haven't entered the court yet, so I don't think about it, because it's useless to think about it. Wouldn't it be more troublesome if I can't do it?"

Li Shimin didn't care about Zhang Nuo's dislike at all. Anyway, he didn't get disliked once or twice. Instead, he followed Zhang Nuo's words and continued,

"Brother, since you know that XX is a relative of the emperor, then you should have imagined that XX definitely hopes that Li Tang will last forever, so that you can continue to live a good life as a brother?"

"Besides, who said it's useless for you to tell brother Wei? Didn't you say that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is a certain cousin? When the time comes, some good ideas can be passed on to your majesty if you tell brother Xiaogong It’s in your ears, you can be regarded as God’s listening!”

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li in front of him suspiciously. He always felt that Lao Li's words sounded weird. It wasn't that there was something wrong with the content, but the tone of his speech, why was it always a bit hidden?

But Zhang Nuo didn't bother to argue so much with Lao Li. When he didn't know the status of his royal family before, he loved to inquire about these things, so he just pretended to be bragging and spanking among friends.

Zhang Nuo picked up a handful of peas and rubbed them slowly in his hand, then said slowly,

"Nowadays, there are actually problems with the training of officials. The biggest problem is that they are floating and unprofessional! Even if they are the children of aristocratic families who claim to have broken thousands of books, no matter how they learn to be rich, they are actually empty talk in the end!"

"Old Li, you have to understand that what the Tang Dynasty needs most and what it lacks the most is actually grass-roots parents' officials. The common people can only get in touch with grass-roots parents' officials. Whether the reputation of your Li family's royal family is good or not depends on these county officials in the end. man!"

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully. This little brother Zhang had told him a similar point of view before, and he agreed with it very much, but this is not something that can be resolved overnight.

"Brother, you still haven't told me how to solve the problem of the children of the aristocratic family dominating the court!"

Zhang Nuo took a sip of tea and said angrily,

"Actually, the solution has been given a long time ago. Don't you see how good our papermaking and printing workshops are now? And when the new workshops outside the city start construction, the output will be even more astonishing!"

"As long as our two workshops continue to operate, there will inevitably be a situation, that is, more and more scholars! And as long as there are more scholars, it means more reserve officials. Then what are you afraid of, old Li family? "

Li Shimin naturally knows this. He was still talking about this with Du Ruhui two days ago, but what he wants more is to have some ready-made method to target the aristocratic family. He really doesn't want to wait so slowly. what is.

"Brother, tell my brother the truth. Do you have any clever plans to target the family? You don't know that not only the cousin, but His Majesty is also worried about the power of the family recently!"

"Cultivating scholars and focusing on promoting poor families is a long-term solution, but now those noble families in the court are always fighting against our royal family, so we can't just watch! We have to do something!"

Looking at Lao Li's expectant look, Zhang Nuo also sighed. In fact, the aristocratic family was really killed by the Li and Tang generations, especially when the empress was a generation, it was a ruthless hand.

It can be said that the old Li family is vigilant to the bottom of these families with many people, money and great influence, thinking about how to kill them every day.

However, in Zhang Nuo's view, aristocratic families are really not a good thing, basically like the most incompetent capitalists, they only secretly acquire some land, and then hide the population, sow the land and harvest food.

They are completely attached to the people and the court to suck blood, but if something happens, they are the fastest to run and surrender the fastest.
