Wang Zi'an complained in his heart and nodded obediently.
It is impossible to be an official anyway.
"Then tell me, if the emperor does not use the talents of those famous families, how will the world be governed?"
Li Shimin said, and wanted to refill Wang Zi'an's water, but Wang Zi'an waved his hand to stop him.
"No need - what's wrong? Without Butcher Zhang, we still have to eat pork with hair on it?"
Wang Zi'an glanced at Li Shimin and tapped the table with his fingers.
"What is a talent? Being proficient in knowledge is a talent? Being able to write some poems and songs is a talent? Ah - yes, it is indeed a talent -"
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng:......
You almost missed our waist!
“But is this really the kind of talent needed to govern a country?”
After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he glanced at them again.
"Forget it, you are merchants, you wouldn't understand even if I asked -"
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng:......
Although their hearts were full of flaws, the two people couldn't help but look at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Such remarks would be normal if they came from an official who had been in the officialdom for decades, but this young man was clearly a young man who had not yet entered the officialdom and even resisted becoming an official.
"But being knowledgeable and being able to write a few sour little poems does not necessarily mean you will be an official. Handling government affairs is completely different from being knowledgeable and writing articles. Being knowledgeable does not necessarily mean you will be able to handle government affairs, and you do not necessarily need to be able to study to handle government affairs.
In terms of knowledge, to be honest, when it comes to handling government affairs, those low-level officials may not necessarily be inferior to those so-called talents..."
"you mean?"
Li Shimin had an incredible expression on his face, and Wei Zheng couldn't believe his ears. Of course they knew about this, but it had been like this since ancient times, otherwise what else could they do?
"So, to be an official, as long as you can read and write, be smart, and know how to get things done, how can you find an official with outstanding abilities? Can you keep an official with a strong sense of responsibility for a period of time? If you throw it out, you will be a qualified official. What are you doing?
, you must eat pork with hair on it..."
Surprisingly, it can still be like this!
It can still be like this!
Both people were confused. This point of view directly subverted their cognition? Even in their dreams, they did not dare to think about it like this.
"If this is really the case? Wouldn't it be a big uproar in the world? By then, it will not only be the wealthy families? I am afraid that even the ordinary people who study the scriptures will have to stand up and rebel..."
Li Shimin, who finally came to his senses, couldn't help but question, "Is there any way?" Wang Zi'an's idea was too bold and too shocking. Wei Zheng also nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty's words?"
What about words.
You don’t know what a civil servant is!
Wang Zi'an glanced at him.
"Is the emperor stupid? Do it directly? That's definitely not possible? But can't you cut flesh with a dull knife? Start from the grassroots level first? Just make such a small opening, hehe——"
Li Shimin couldn't help but slap his thigh!
He gave Wang Zi'an a big thumbs up.
"Zian? Are you really smart? I'm convinced——"
"Go, go, go? Don't do this to me - where is the food? Hurry? I tell you? If you dare to cheat me, our business will be ruined? Your money is invested anyway..."
Li Shimin:......
Otherwise, don’t think that I don’t know that my money is still lying in your back room!
"Ahem? There must be food, right? Just - cough cough, not here -"
Li Shimin touched his receding hairline with some embarrassment.
If my food was in front of me, would I be in such trouble?
"It's good to have it, where is it? Just bring it here and that's it - by the way, you said it, give it to me for free!"
When Wang Zi'an heard that there was food, he was immediately relieved and hurriedly gave instructions.
"It's okay to give it away for free. I can go get it myself..."
Li Shimin clapped his hands generously.
If you can pull me over, I'll lose.
"where?"
When Wang Zi'an saw this guy's expression, he immediately became suspicious and looked at Li Shimin with a somewhat evil look.
"They are all in Bianzhou, and there are dozens of large ships - the river is frozen, and the ships are impassable. It will be impossible to transport them for a while..."
No wonder this guy is so generous!
Emotions are dry.
Just as Wang Zian was about to curse, something suddenly moved in his heart and a smile appeared on his face.
"Old Li, to be honest, can you make the decision about the food?"
"Yes - for what?"
Li Shimin asked with some confusion.
"That's enough!"
Wang Zi'an slammed the table excitedly.
"Old Li, let's work together to do something big! Make a fortune, and by the way, let out a bad breath, and also help your coward emperor get a bad breath..."
Li Shimin:......
Where am I?
…
When Li Shimin and Wei Zheng left, they were all dizzy.
Has the matter really been resolved?
It’s like a dream!
If it hadn't been for seeing Wang Zi'an's miraculous performance so many times, I wouldn't have been able to imagine that anyone could have managed to transport food across the frozen river even if I killed him.
"That Wang Zi'an is really terrible——"
It was a long way out of Wang Zi'an's courtyard, and Wei Zheng was still a little distracted. When he thought of Wang Zi'an's arrangements, he felt a little shuddering.
His wisdom is as profound as that of a demon, unrivaled!
"As long as you are not his enemy, he is not scary at all..."
It's even a little funny.
Li Shimin complained in his heart, clasped his hands, and looked at the still gloomy and heavy sky. His eyes were deep and there was no trace of joy or anger.
"When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait -"
…
While Wang Zi'an was busy receiving Ma Zhou, Li Shimin and others, brothers Li Siwen and Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang fell into deep despair.
Three people, each holding a set of words, their eyes were dull, and they were so confused that they were about to shed tears.
The most painful thing in the world is reading and writing. If I have to add a time limit to it, I would say it would be ten thousand times! Ten thousand times!
The key is that this word is written like a wild dragon waving its tail, a gust of wind passing by, hooks and hooks, and intermittently. With three people being slapped by the teacher every day in class, they don't know a single word!
If the gentlemen of Guozixue had dared to arrange it like this, they would have been thrown aside by them long ago. They would just slap the palms of their hands as much as they liked. What's the big deal? The emperor's masters are all here and there!
But this calligraphy was written by the unfathomable master. It contains a picture of peerless martial arts and contains the secret of the use of strength.
They dare not throw it away, and they are not willing to throw it away!
"Siwen, you said we have something good, should we share it with our good brothers?"
Suddenly, Cheng Chumo, who was walking behind, slapped his thigh suddenly and asked with a loyal look on his face.
Li Siwen didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and nodded in confusion.
"Didn't Master say that? Don't forget each other if you want to be rich and noble. Look, since the master has passed down such a treasure to us, shouldn't we share it with Shu Yu, Huai Yu, and Fang Er?"
