Chapter 531: Visitors from the West(1/2)
If Li Shimin wants to open up the imperial examination, he cannot leave any handle.
After letting these old people leave, the court quickly issued an order to continue to open up the imperial examinations next year.
If you don’t fight for your right to speak, it will fall into the hands of others.
The court understands this very well, and this rare opportunity must be seized.
The imperial examinations were held for several consecutive years, and almost every year, Chang'an City was talking about this matter.
"Autumn harvest, winter hide..." Zhang Yang looked at the accounts and looked at Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, winter is for rest."
After dealing with the old gentlemen, Li Shimin did not mention the previous promises, let alone the credit for it.
It was an inauspicious method, and it was too late for Tian Khan to clean up. Even if he asked about this, he would not admit it, and he would even blame him.
Those old men had never seen His Majesty from beginning to end, and they could not see them. Such things could only be arranged by the civil officials in the court. The emperor between the aristocratic families should leave room for himself and could not face the aristocratic families directly.
If the civil officials still have room for maneuvering their promises and words, a disagreement between the emperor and them may have a greater conflict with the aristocratic family.
After seeing off the old gentlemen, Zhang Yang thought that his winter vacation life could continue again.
Who knew that Tian Khan had a great aspiration in his career, and he wanted to carry out imperial examinations and make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and powerful.
He also recalled all the officials of the six ministries and continued to be busy with the six ministries.
I thought the holiday would end early, so I would take up my post when I came to work in the court, and I would just mess around. At least in the middle of winter, the weather was cold and the morning court would be spared.
The morning court will resume in the spring of the coming year.
This is the bad thing about being an official for Tian Khan. The emperor is full of career aspirations and everyone has to work overtime.
If you work overtime, work overtime. Zhang Yang was drinking tea. His Highness King of Jin and Princess Changle could come here to play with a group of younger brothers and sisters, and serve tea and water.
After the autumn harvest, the Secretariat was still quite leisurely. Apart from the salary for the coming year, there was nothing else to be busy with.
At this moment, in addition to the emperor's career aspirations, there is also a prince of the East Palace.
At this moment, Li Chengqian came. His Royal Highness, who was devoted to his career, was anxious for money and interrupted his rest time.
Li Chengqian looked solemn, "The matter of the imperial examination was difficult to start, and I thought about it day and night, but there was still a problem with the problem of money."
In July, I had just been promoted to Duzhilang in the Shangshu Province not long ago.
At that time, a sum of money had been withdrawn for the Eastern Palace to open an official school.
But now he still has to take out the money, and Zhang Yang is in trouble for a moment.
Li Chengqian said anxiously: "Now, it takes money to open official schools in various places, and I am always in a dilemma."
Listening to the prince's words, Zhang Yang took a picture from Chen Fang's bookshelf, opened the map and asked, "Where is the main focus of the establishment of the official school in the Crown Prince?"
Li Chengqian looked up and down, "Tongguan, Shuofang, Luoyang."
There are so many things to deal with when starting an official school. Tongguan and Luoyang are originally big cities and towns, and there are so many gentry in the place.
Zhang Yang thought, "I have a suggestion below. I wonder what the Crown Prince thinks?"
"You can say that as long as it is not the worst way to deal with the old gentlemen that day, it will be done."
I want to have a special ability to make His Royal Highness forget his memories at that time. If his methods are not glorious, they will be taken out to learn from others. If you make mistakes, you will be regretful forever. Brother Wenben harms others!
Zhang Yang pointed to the other side of the map, "The prince might as well go to Liaodong to start an official school first."
Li Chengqian frowned and observed, "Liaodong?"
"Now Da'an has been named the chief official of Liaodong and is governing Liaodong. His Royal Highness may as well send someone to open an official school. First, there is little resistance there, and second, it will be of great help to the support of the people, so I will regard it as a teaching support."
"Teaching? What does it mean?"
Seeing that the prince was still confused, Zhang Yang sat down again and drank tea, "The so-called teaching support is to go to remote and poor and backward places to support teaching. The prince is not as good as changing his mind than gnawing on the two hard bones of Luoyang and Tongguan."
Zhang Yang drew a circle, "Please look at the center of the entire circle is Chang'an City, but the surrounding area is remote places, where the people's hearts are scattered and have been dispersed for a long time. If people can be sent to those places to start official schools, it can not only be used to regain the hearts of the people in the local area, but also make the court have a stronger sense of existence in such places."
"If I want to be prosperous and strong in the Tang Dynasty, I will never forget these remote places." Zhang Yang sighed: "My teacher was a teaching teacher back then. Now I want to miss the teacher-student friendship at that time. If it weren't for the inspiration given to me by this teaching teacher, I might be a gangster on the street now, let alone learn so many skills."
Li Chengqian looked at this circle and said, "Liu is so lonely that he is enlightened when he listens to Mr. Zhang. This will lead to less resistance and will be more beneficial to the country."
Zhang Yang nodded, "There are many rich places in the Central Plains, and we can start from the surrounding rural areas and poor places. Some people may make fun of us, but we just don't fear their ridicule, and move closer to the center step by step from the surrounding area and slowly eat up those big cities."
"Gradually everyone will understand the intention of the official school, and thus gradually be accepted by more people. What does the Crown Prince think?"
Li Chengqian bowed and bowed, "It turns out that this is how the official schools can do it."
"Have you not thought of this before?"
"I...shamed."
Zhang Yang said again: "After the imperial examination, there were many people who had not entered the government and had not left Chang'an City. In fact, this is also an opportunity. His Royal Highness can recruit these people and other people to create a book."
"Gu understands it. After the people have made arrangements with the regulations, Gu will submit it to the Secretariat and send people to various places. In this way, the official school will be successful."
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness," he said.
Li Chengqian said loudly: "For the sake of the country, I should forge ahead, even if there are many difficulties and obstacles."
"Very good. Your Highness the Crown Prince, please come back. Then see how much money is needed. I will see if the accounts in the court can squeeze out some."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked with great strides and was very fighting spirit.
What a great Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yang sighed again while holding the tea.
Princess Dongyang's cheeks were red due to cold, "Brother-in-law, all the chores outside are ready."
"Then clean up all the files here."
"Here."
Li Zhi also came in a hurry, "Brother-in-law is the account book sent by the Ministry of War, and he sent another 3,000 stones of grain."
Zhang Yang took the account book and looked at it, "His Royal Highness Jin, has the official list been sorted out this year?"
"Let's sort it out now."
The palace maid saw the princess and the princes busy here, and she didn't know how His Majesty would think of seeing them bringing tea and water to Mr. Zhang here.
Soon, Li Zhi came back.
"What's wrong with Your Highness King Jin?"
"Brother-in-law, Xu Jingzong came with a Western Regions man."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Take the person in, and His Highness King Jin continues to do his own business."
"good."
Li Zhi left hurriedly again.
Zhang Yang thought about the 26th year after this year, and there were only four years left before his planned retirement age.
There is only one official in the Shangshu Province and he is quite comfortable. Even if he sleeps here, no one will care about himself.
After seeing Xu Jingzong, I took a nap and ran home to take my daughter.
There was also a big-nosed Westerner who followed Xu Jingzong.
The princess and princes were all doing business here. Xu Jingzong walked in and kept saluting. Although he didn't know the title and knew what to call him, he had a lot of etiquette.
Until he walked into the main hall.
"It's great to have a place to find Mr. Zhang." Xu Jingzong sighed.
"This one is..."
Zhang Yang looked at the Westerner, with dark skin and messy hair.
"This is Persian monk Alaben."
Zhang Yang said, "It turns out to be a monk from Persia."
Aroben rituals in Persian etiquette, and then in his unskilled Guanzhong dialect, "Aroben, a villain, has met Mr. Zhang of the Shangguo."
After Xu Jingzong sat down, Zhang Yang said again: "You Persians also have their own teachings?"
"Zhang Shilang Mingjian, the villain originally followed the great cannibals. We have followed the Harry to fight in the north for several years. After arriving in Persia, I heard that there was a big country in the east. The villain had traveled to the western straits, and now we have finally found this big country in the east."
It was not easy for Persian monk Alaben to come to the Tang Dynasty along the Silk Road.
This person's identity is a bit complicated. He was born in Xuliya, and the location of that place has been war-torn, and there is a lot of evidence that cannot be verified.
Some people also say that he is a Persian because many of his achievements are in Persia.
This complex identity will be closely related to the conquest of the great cannibals.
Now is the time when Dashi is at its peak, and the military is in full swing.
Zhang Yang said in confusion: "I don't understand very well. Are you a messenger of the Great Food, or a traveler to the Tang Dynasty, or a Persian monk."
"This is all the identity of a villain."
"I like people like you the most. They mix up their identity so complicatedly, please both sides and not offend them."
Aroben also smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to reply.
