Li Zhi secretly thought that Zhang Jianzhi was unreliable, and Zhang Jianzhi's father, Zhang Xuanbi, was fun-loving.

All old men like to scheme with others, and none of them is a good person.

He is worthy of being a great scholar, and he indeed has friends all over the Central Plains.

"Then I will make arrangements right now."

Zhang Xuanbi nodded with satisfaction.

"Boy, please leave."

"I won't give it away."

Li Zhi and Di Renjie stood up, saluted, and walked out of the house with Zhang Jianzhi.

Di Renjie glanced at Zhang Jianzhi, who still looked indifferent, and asked, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, why did you agree?"

Li Zhi scratched his head, "I didn't want to agree at first, but if I don't agree, it might be difficult for me to leave."

Di Renjie sighed: "What if Zhang Jianzhi still fails the exam next year? Then His Highness the King of Jin should still be blamed."

Li Zhi said angrily: "Everything should be done, it's just a matter of a finger."

The three teenagers walked out of the house with worries.

In the main hall, Zhang Xuanbi poured himself another bowl of hot water.

An old man walked out of the side room. He leaned on crutches and said, "Are you still going to let him talk to His Highness King Jin?"

Zhang Xuanbi stroked his beard and said: "My position is different from yours."

Cui Renshi sighed: "If you really want to argue, with Shen Kuang's ability, there is no need to make a four-year agreement with the King of Jin."

"The King of Jin is still young, so what if we give him four years?"

Cui Renshi shook his head and said, "Are you shaken?"

Zhang Xuanbi said: "I have never wavered. Let's wait and see for another four years."

Cui Renshi murmured: "I am already in my seventies. I don't know if I can live another four years."

This time, the news that King Jin went to see the great scholar Zhang Xuanbi quickly reached His Majesty's ears.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Call the young slaves."

"Here."

An hour later, Li Zhi came back in a hurry. Since the prince's family went to Gaoling County, everyone in the palace was surrounding King Jin.

"Has Zhang Xuanbi seen you?"

"My son, I discussed it with him."

Seeing that his son was still very confident, Li Shimin said again: "Tell me what you said to him."

He explained to his father the ins and outs of meeting Zhang Xuanbi.

Li Zhi added: "That's what's going on right now. My son and I have made a four-year agreement with him."

"Four years..."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Zhang Yang's construction of Guanzhong has just begun, and you have made a four-year agreement with him? Is it too late?"

"Father, in order to build Guanzhong, Lishan has been preparing for many years. It is a result of deep accumulation. This can be seen from the changes in the twelve counties of Chang'an City."

This child speaks and talks with confidence.

Such a child lacks training. Li Shimin had a plan in mind but did not say it clearly. He has not yet reached the top and will discuss it later.

When Li Zhi resigned, Li Shimin looked at the map and thought, the war in the west was still going on, there was no news from Liaodong, and Mobei was guarded by Ashinadur.

Queen Changsun came with soap, "This is the soap sent by Lishan. Their family property has been distributed to other villages and counties, but they still make their own soap to be self-sufficient. It is summer, the time to use soap, so they give it to them."

The palace sent it."

Li Shimin looked at the map and said: "I want the young slaves to go and practice."

"Experience?" Empress Changsun asked suspiciously: "Where can I go to practice?"

Li Shimin's eyes fell on the map and he looked southward from the map. "This child is too proud. It is the spirit raised by Lishan. I plan to let him go out. Some things can only be understood after experience."

"If what Lishan has learned is really good, then he will definitely be able to show it through experience. If Lishan's knowledge is wrong, he will understand it himself."

Empress Changsun said again: "Yes, according to your Majesty's words."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "How about waiting for another two years?"

"That's fine."

Li Zhi had no idea that the Queen and Her Majesty had already made plans for his life.

It was a headache for Zhang Jianzhi to go to the Imperial Academy, so Li Zhi arranged for Li Shen to study hard in Chongde Hall.

Then he hurriedly asked old Master Kong Yingda for help.

"Have you heard that His Highness the King of Jin has made a four-year agreement with Zhang Xuanbi?"

I just told my father about this matter, and after seeing Zhang Xuanbi, it only took two hours, and now Old Master Kong Yingda also knows about it.

Maybe there are rumors about this in Chang'an City.

Kong Yingda added: "It is a good thing that His Highness the King of Jin can get close to the great Confucians."

Li Zhi sighed: "Why does it sound like a bad thing?"

When talking about Zhang Xuanbi, he thought of Zhang Jianzhi again; Li Zhi held his chin with one hand and said: "I also invite Master Kong Yingda to let Zhang Jianzhi enter the Imperial College."

"Zhang Jianzhi?" Kong Yingda stroked his beard and said, "I have seen his strategies and they are full of rhetoric and have no basis in reality."

Master Kong Yingda was also the examiner of the imperial examination.

Li Zhi didn't know what strategy the guy wrote on the examination paper, so he added: "He is studying in Hongwen Hall now."

"Originally, there are not many places in the Imperial College. Since His Highness the King of Jin has agreed to this matter, if it is not done well, I may be laughed at by famous Confucian celebrities like Zhang Xuanbi."

"Hmm." Kong Yingda stroked his beard and said in deep thought: "Then please ask His Highness the King of Jin to give up his place to Zhang Jianzhi."

Li Zhi was hesitant to speak, but he still agreed to the matter.

Putting the documents from the Imperial College into Zhang Jianzhi's hands, Li Zhi warned: "If you fail the imperial examination again this time..."

"A certain family is going to the west to conquer the army." Zhang Jianzhi was full of confidence. "If you can't become an official, then you can join the profession. A certain family is familiar with military books, and it is easy to command 30,000 troops."

Li Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are really talented."

There is Li Shen who is obsessed with reading, Zhang Jianzhi who is extremely talented, and Di Renjie who hangs out with bad people all day long.

Li Zhi felt that his life was very tired and wanted to go back to Lishan.

There are a lot of disturbances in Guanzhong, the twelve counties of Chang'an City are very busy, Lishan wants to build an academy of 2,000 acres, this matter has not been settled yet, many people think that Lishan is too ambitious, and this matter will probably end without any problem.

Although Li Chengqian was the prince, after he came to Gaoling County, he began to work with the county magistrate, repairing ditches with the county magistrate, eating together, and chatting with the villagers.

The prince has been away from the East Palace for a month, and your majesty has no intention of recalling him.

Zhao Jie and He Qian Chengji, the two commanders on the right side of the East Palace, watched the current prince struggling to carry a sack, his steps moving slowly, and they felt sympathy in their hearts.

It is very touching that His Royal Highness the Prince does the farming work himself.

Zhao Jie temporarily put aside his prejudice against He Qian Chengji and whispered: "Do you think His Majesty will call His Highness back?"

Hegan Chengji stood leaning against a tree and replied: "Your Majesty has high hopes for His Highness the Crown Prince, and he will be summoned back soon."

"Did His Highness the Crown Prince do something wrong and be punished to come to this county?"

"No way, the prince has been strict with himself these years."

Yu Zhining is the right concubine of the East Palace. Since the prince moved here from the East Palace, he has followed him.

Unlike Zhao Jie, He Qian Chengji and others, Yu Zhining was a civil servant. He was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace in his early years and was highly valued by His Majesty.

It is said that this person will soon be promoted to the Minister of Secretariat, and he is a person who works in obscurity.

After arriving in Gaoling County, Yu Zhining began to arrange the management of the village, and his management was quite effective.

Everyone in the East Palace was very convinced of Zhining.

Yu Zhining said to the two of them: "You shouldn't talk about the prince here."

Zhao Jie smiled and replied: "I'll arrange some escorts now."

He Qian Chengji knew that he could not afford to offend Yu Zhining, so he left angrily.

There is another soap workshop to be opened in Gaoling County. The secret recipe of soap is not worth a lot of money now because soap is very cheap now. A piece of soap only costs ten dollars.

As long as the local county magistrate allows, each county can open a soap workshop.

Li Chengqian stacked the sacks, sat down to rest, wiped his sweat and said: "Soap is not valuable in Guanzhong, but the value can be multiplied several times when transported outside Guanzhong."

Yu Zhining replied: "Your Highness, how many days will it take to transport soap to the Hexi Corridor?"

Li Chengqian replied: "Half a month."

Yu Zhining added: "So how much does it cost to transport it to the Hexi Corridor?"
