Regarding Li Min's plan to build a medical research institute, he quickly submitted it to Dai Zhou.
When he saw the application, he was a little panicked.
He left the Shangshu Province directly and found Li Shimin in the back garden.
At this time, Li Shimin was with Fang Xuanling. Recently, Li Shimin often called Fang Xuanling together.
I could only hear Fang Xuanling saying: "Your Majesty, in one month, the imperial examination will be held again. There are so many talents this year, I am afraid that the grand occasion of last year will be repeated!"
Talents abounded, and this was the beginning of the great prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this.
Last year's grand occasion made him feel very proud.
You know, in the previous dynasties, there was probably no one hundred Jinshi at once!
However, the imperial examinations under his rule produced more than a hundred Jinshi.
It’s just that no strong top pick has emerged, which is a big regret.
"If that's the case, that's great. Last year's 100 Jinshi helped me a lot. They filled all the vacancies in the five major families. Over the past year, Datang has been developing rapidly, and more and more manpower is needed.
The more you have, if you can get another hundred Jinshi, that will be great! If you can get another top scholar, that will be the best!"
Li Shimin has a longing for the future.
He also didn't know that more than half of the students who signed up this time were from Li Min.
If calculated carefully, including students from Chang'an University, they may account for 90%.
They strived to be admitted as Jinshi to repay Li Min's kindness.
At the same time, it is also for my own future.
In the future, more than half of the people in the entire imperial court may be Li Min's people.
Further back, more than 80% of them are Li Min's people.
At that time, he could control the direction of the court. If Li Shimin went astray, he would also have a way to set him right.
In this way, if you are not the emperor, you can directly influence the emperor.
So what's the difference between being an emperor and not being an emperor?
This is Li Min's true purpose.
Fang Xuanling then said:
"Your Majesty, this year's subjects will not disappoint you! I have already found out the knowledge of those candidates. I am afraid that they will be stronger than the previous year. This year's competition will be very fierce!"
"Okay, okay, Fang Xuanling, you will be in charge of the imperial examination this year, and I will set the questions! I hope that talented people can be selected."
"Yes, I understand!"
Li Shimin then moved forward, followed by Fang Xuanling.
Then, Fang Xuanling asked: "When will the consort leave for Qingzhou? The ministers are all thinking about seeing off the consort!"
"Xue Rengui said that he will definitely leave after the fifteenth day! I think there is no need to rush this. I think it is not too late to let him go after the first lunar month!"
Li Shimin said that he knew very well that the reason why Xue Rengui acted like this was probably to attend Li Min's wedding.
After all, it was Li Min who promoted him, and people should know how to be grateful. If Xue Rengui didn't know how to be grateful, then Li Shimin might not reuse Xue Rengui.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Fang Xuanling said quickly.
"That's what the Queen meant. Li Zhi has been staying in the palace since she was a child and has never traveled far away. This trip to Qingzhou must be a bit inconvenient. After going back and forth, we may not see her again until a year."
Li Shimin has been to Qingzhou and knows that it is not possible to get there and back in one day. If Li Lizhi follows Xue Rengui out of Qingzhou, Queen Changsun will definitely be reluctant to part with her. It is better to keep Li Lizhi for a while so that mother and daughter can have a good relationship.
Stay together.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Sixth Prince has already started preparing the railway from Chang'an to Qingzhou!"
Fang Xuanling said so.
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"What? Is this true?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I heard about it after asking about it. Moreover, they have already started to prepare a large amount of rail materials. This is not wrong!"
Li Shimin murmured: "This kid finally understands the powerful relationship between them! Taizhou and Qingzhou are both important, and Qingzhou's geographical location is even more important. It can quickly reach Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo.
It can contain the development of the three places and serve as a deterrent to them! At that time, along the railway line from Qingzhou, I, Sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, can get there quickly!"
Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said: "Also, it will have a profound impact on the economic development there!"
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, if the princess misses home, they can come back on the same day, and if the queen misses the princess, they can take the train to Qingzhou to see the princess!"
"That's it. Once Qingzhou's transportation is connected, it can really revive Datang's economy!"
Li Shimin greatly appreciated Yu Li Min's decision.
Fang Xuanling added: "Not only that, but the railway from Liangzhou to Chang'an has also been completed and opened to traffic. It is said that a large amount of oil is transported back and forth, which has brought more powerful power support to Shengtang Group!"
"The railway here in Liangzhou is also very important! It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that I withdrew from the railway. Investment in the railway is really not something that humans do! The money is huge. If I want to get involved again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance!"
Li Shimin's budget focused more on people's livelihood, and the Chang'an track alone cost him a lot of money.
And it also requires maintenance, which requires more money.
Li Shimin currently cannot support investment in several railways.
If he does not increase investment, his shares will eventually be diluted to almost nothing.
"this……"
Fang Xuanling didn't know this at all. If Li Shimin hadn't mentioned it, he might never have known that it turned out that Li Shimin was forced to withdraw from the railway shares. To this day, he still doesn't dare to get involved again.
From this point of view, the imperial court is really not as powerful as the Shengtang Group.
A Tang Dynasty group directly built two railways and was planning to build a third one.
Next, fourth and fifth...
Until the railway covers the entire Datang, at that time, Datang's economy will take off directly.
Materials from the north can be supplemented and mixed with materials from the south.
When distance is no longer a problem, all walks of life will develop by leaps and bounds.
Because there is no barrier of distance.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. It's a good thing that he can build railways! I will also give him support, depending on whether he needs people or materials. These can be given to them at low prices, and even the mining rights of iron ore can be given to them.
It can be transferred to them for mining at a low price, so that they can build the Qingzhou Railway faster!"
This is what Li Shimin is thinking.
When he said this, he suddenly remembered that this matter must be implemented quickly.
So, he gave the order.
"Someone, let Dai Zhou enter the palace!"
As soon as he said this, Dai Zhou was already standing at the door.
Obviously, Dai Zhou came to see him this time for something.
