Li Ye knocked on the table and said: "I am considering holding an imperial examination in Bashu to select a group of young talents and let Li Bai be in charge of it. In addition, I will also build a Guoxue school in Chengdu and let him be in charge of it.
Go talk to him."
Li Mi frowned, "It's easy to hold the imperial examination, but the problem is that we don't have so many official positions. What is your highness's intention?"
Li Ye smiled slightly, "Actually, I want to reserve a group of officials. They can go to Helong Jiedu Mansion, Shuofang Jiedu Mansion, Jiannan Jiedu Mansion and Jingnan Jiedu Mansion, and recruit a hundred people.
The government has enough accommodation. The next step is to capture Jingxiang and thoroughly purge county-level officials. I will transfer a large number of officials there so that their vacant seats will be filled."
"I see, I understand."
Li Mi knew very well that they had no choice but to leave Jingxiang. They were not strong enough to control the local officials in Jingxiang. Once they recaptured Jingxiang, they would never tolerate the local officials again. All county officials
Need to be cleaned and replaced.
"What are you going to do, Your Highness? The humble position refers to Jing Xiang."
Li Ye said slowly: "The key is to force Liang Chongyi to rebel. As long as Liang Chongyi rebels and separates Jingxiang, our opportunity will come."
Li Mi said goodbye and went to find Li Bai. At this time, Qiu Xuan and Li Chenghua walked in together, and they saluted together, "See you, Your Highness!"
"Please take a seat, both of you!"
Li Ye asked the two of them to sit down and asked the manager to serve tea.
"Li Dutong, how is the situation in Bashu?"
Li Chenghua said quickly: "According to His Highness's request, I sent five hundred people from humble positions, led by Xie Sen personally, to establish the Bashu Internal Guard. Finally, I handed over the internal defense power to Inspector Chen. I heard that it was on track.
"
Li Ye nodded and said slowly: "I came to you today to talk about Jing Xiang. Jing Xiang is my next target, but it's not easy to move now. Liang Chongyi's ambition has already come out.
, but it’s not enough. One reason is that he has hostages in court, and the other reason is that he lacks a little courage, so I plan to sow the seeds and harvest them by this time next year.
So the Intelligence Agency has three things to do. First, monitor Liang Chongyi's son in Chang'an and attack him when the time comes. Second, I want to master all aspects of Liang Chongyi's intelligence. Third, Liang Chongyi must have our people around him."
Qiu Xuan quickly wrote it down and nodded, "Tomorrow I will submit a detailed plan. If there is nothing else, I will resign first."
"Go! It doesn't have to be tomorrow, it can also be later."
Qiu Xuan bowed and left, and Li Ye said to Li Chenghua: "The inner guards also have an important task, which is to create an opportunity for Li Xilie, the deputy envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, to ascend to the throne."
Li Bai always wanted to do something great, preferably becoming the emperor's teacher. He was somewhat ambitious, but suffered repeated setbacks, and finally gave up on himself.
When he arrived at Li Ye, he finally settled down, which of course had something to do with his daughter's marriage to Li Ye. He finally began to be pragmatic and found his life goal, which was to run a school.
Li Bai is now serving as the director of the Education Encourage Department under the Secretary of State for Administration, in charge of education in Guanlong. His main task at this stage is to run schools. In the past two years, he has been busy running schools for immigrants who moved westward from Hebei, and went to Hexi and Shanzhou.
He contacted his husband again and applied for funding. His legs were getting thinner and he had lost a lot of weight. But when he saw new government-run schools rising from the ground and countless children sitting in the schools to study, he felt that
Full of sense of accomplishment, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it’s worth it.
At this moment, he and Li Mi were sitting in the Yellow River Restaurant drinking. Taking advantage of the wine table, Li Mi talked about the imperial examinations and school establishment in Bashu.
Li Bai felt a little excited, this was for him to return home in glory!
He nodded, "I will go south as soon as possible!"
Li Bi smiled slightly and said: "Actually, these are two things. You can first run a school and build a high-level Imperial College so that outstanding students from various states can continue their studies. This is your strength. I don't need to say more, so
Jiannan Jiedu Mansion will assist you when you need money and food. I mainly talk to you about the imperial examination."
Li Bai nodded, "Chang Shi, please tell me!"
Li Mi filled a glass of wine for him and said slowly: "This imperial examination has two levels of tasks, one is to select talents, and the other is to win over the wealthy families in Bashu. A total of 140 people were admitted, 80 of whom were fair selections."
Talent, this is your business. Winning over wealthy families and admitting sixty other people is Chen Huan's business. You don't need to interfere. And you are the examiner. As for how to notify candidates, arrange examination rooms, etc., that is Chen Huan's job.
Your task is to invigilate, mark and admit students."
Li Bai gave a wry smile, "I really can't do anything about winning over wealthy families."
Li Mi smiled and said: "Of course I know. Chen Huan has experience. If he comes to host it, do you think there are any difficulties?"
Li Bai thought for a while and said: "We advise that there are eight people in the school department. If I take them all away this time, there will be no one here. But there are five less people there. Can Chang Shi give me a few more temporary people?"
Subordinates, I can leave them in Bashu when the time comes."
Li Mi smiled and said: "You take away three people, and then you recruit three more by yourself, and they will stay in the newly established Guozixue. You will also need to recruit some professors to run the Guozixue, and they can also participate in marking the exams!"
"
"Thank you so much. Also, I am going to Bashu this time. What is my name?"
Li Mi smiled and took out a gold medal and handed it to Li Bai, "You represent His Highness King Qi and go south as a special envoy!"
What does it mean to return home in fine clothes? This gold medal is the fine clothes. Li Ye gave his father-in-law enough face and allowed him to return to his hometown in glory.
Summer in Longyou comes and goes quickly, but there is no such thing as autumn. After the intense heat, it cools down, and it’s autumn in the blink of an eye.
There were no major events in the past two months. The Tubo army did not continue to take action after retaking Jiuqu. The two sides were in a state of confrontation.
The Tibetan army actually had the strategic initiative. It could fight wherever it wanted, and retreat back to the plateau if it didn't want to fight. The Tang army had no way to deal with them, which destined the struggle with Tibet to be protracted.
It's not enough if the Tang army doesn't accept the attack. If it abandons the West Sea, Tubo will attack Hehuang again. If it abandons Hehuang, Tubo will attack Longyou, Hexi, and then Guanzhong.
This would always be a bleeding point for the Tang Dynasty. In the end, it completely declined due to internal strife in Tubo and was no longer able to attack the Tang Dynasty. Only then did the Tang Dynasty completely get rid of the strategic threat of Tibet.
The imperial court had no conclusion when it came to establishing a prince. The two major groups fought like blackbirds, and in the end no one could convince the emperor.
At the beginning of autumn, Li Ye still sorted out hundreds of large boxes of palace treasures and gave them to Li Heng, which was regarded as fulfilling his promise. They mainly included utensils, including gold and silver utensils, jewelry, porcelain, jade, bronze, lacquerware, and woodware.
Musical instruments, weapons, etc., are all renewable, and it would not be a pity even if they were buried with them in the mausoleum.
Those non-renewable things, such as famous calligraphy and paintings, antiques, ancient bronzes, etc., if the author has passed away, one less thing left in the world will be gone. Such treasures will not be given to Li Heng by Li Ye.
In addition, there is also an important thing at home, that is, Qingyu is pregnant again.
