Winter is over and the weather is starting to get warmer.
First, the thick ice in the river began to melt, then the willow trees by the river began to sprout buds of uneven yellow and green, and fluffy green grass buds grew in the pond.
Due to the season, there are actually not many tourists coming to Yizhou during this season.
However, Baihuatan is their favorite place for outings.
Spring is here, and many people come to Baihuatan for an outing.
Standing in front of Baihuatan, looking at the turquoise water of the lake, you can't help but feel extremely comfortable.
Suddenly, someone pointed at the lake and shouted: "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by his finger, and suddenly saw a large school of fish in the lake.
Among these fish, some are red all over, some are black and red, some are all black, and some are pure black.
These fish are no more than the size of a palm, but come in different colors.
And they are completely different from ordinary small fish. Their fins are very long and flutter in the water like ribbons.
It looks so beautiful and cute.
The visual impact of these colorful fish schools is really great.
"Where's the sky! Is this a magical fish from the sky? It's so beautiful!"
"Are there many such fish in Baihuatan?"
This sentence was asked by a tourist who came to Yizhou.
He thought that this kind of fish existed in Baihuatan before.
"Not at all! It didn't even exist last year, but it suddenly appeared in the spring of this year!"
"Where do all these fish come from?"
"Eh? Look! Look at the big fish in the front!"
Everyone couldn't help but look forward, and sure enough, they saw a big fish in front of them, which was more than two feet long.
This fish, all red, is leading the school of fish.
"Isn't this the fish released by the King of Shu last year?"
After hearing what someone said, some people in the crowd suddenly thought about it.
Yes, it is!
Last year, the King of Shu spent thousands of dollars to buy a fish and then released it in this Baihuatan.
However, the fish that King Shu bought at that time only had a red tail.
Unexpectedly, the whole body is red now, and it becomes even more beautiful!
"Why did the fish released by the King of Shu appear with a group of fish?"
"Is this fish specifically here to repay a favor?"
"Yes! Don't you know? When the King of Shu released it last year, this fish refused to leave. It kowtowed to the King of Shu three times before it left!"
"Is it really so magical? Huh? No, the fish has no hands or feet, how can it kowtow!"
"That fish, its head was pointed at the King of Shu, and it clicked three times! Isn't this just kowtow to express gratitude?"
"This, it seems like this is true! Hey! This fish is really spiritual, it's so amazing!"
For a while, tourists pointed at the fish in Baihuatan.
And this scene also attracted more tourists.
Suddenly, the fish in Baihuatan formed a beautiful scenery.
When Li Min among the crowd saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile and left quietly.
Among these tourists, there were actually people sent by Li Min to lead the conversation.
And now, Li Min's goal has been successfully completed.
…
Well, if there are modern people present, they will definitely be able to recognize it.
What’s so strange about these colorful fish?
Isn't this just a goldfish?
Such a big one only costs a few dollars a piece.
This large piece of goldfish only costs tens of thousands of yuan.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, there were no specially raised goldfish.
Colored fish actually existed at that time.
Even going back hundreds of years.
However, these fish are basically born, not artificially cultivated, and their numbers are extremely rare.
Artificially cultured goldfish did not exist in the Tang Dynasty.
They had never seen such a large school of goldfish.
Therefore, the school of goldfish in Baihuatan caused such a sensation and attracted so many tourists.
Naturally, these goldfish swarms did not grow naturally, nor were they brought out by the fish Li Min released. How could it have such great abilities?
These goldfish were all bought by Li Min from the mall with his prodigal value.
If new things cannot be introduced regularly, visitors will not be able to feel fresh.
Then tourists who have been here before may not come again in the future.
This is not like later generations, where tourism has become a fashion and trend.
In fact, those who are willing to travel casually are definitely not the common people.
They are all from aristocratic families, officials or wealthy families.
These potential groups of people are actually not too large.
Among the people who come to Yizhou year after year, the majority are basically old tourists.
By introducing new things from time to time, we can attract these people to visit Yizhou City often.
Later, Li Min asked the People's Daily to report the matter extensively.
Then in the newspaper, there are high-definition pictures.
These pictures immediately aroused the curiosity of countless people.
Oh my god!
These fish are so beautiful, aren’t they?
How could so many beautiful fish appear all at once?
How did they come together?
Could it be that they were really brought here by the fish released by the King of Shu to repay his kindness?
As a result, more and more tourists began to pour into Yizhou City.
And after these tourists couldn't wait to come to Baihuatan, they found that the fish inside were really beautiful as reported in the Yizhou Monthly News.
…
In the coming time, Li Min is preparing to do something big.
That is to hold a new imperial examination to select scholars in the entire Jiannan Road.
In the past, scholars from Jiannan Road were taking part in the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty.
And now? It’s the imperial examination in Jiannan Road.
This time, Li Min decided to expand the bureaucracy of Jiannan Road.
Why expand?
That's because, in the past, the imperial court's control over the lower levels was very weak.
Why do you say that?
That's because the imperial court's control over local areas only reached the county level.
In a county, in addition to the five officials of the county magistrate, county magistrate, governor, county captain and dianshi, they are appointed by the Ministry of Personnel.
The other officials were all low-ranking and were filled by local aristocratic families.
These people are all local cowards, and their relationships are fundamentally wrong.
It can be said that the chief officials of a county cannot do anything without them.
And what about in the hereafter?
Basic officials continue to the township level.
Villagers' self-governance does not exist until it reaches the village level.
In this case, the central government's management of local governments will be greatly strengthened.
In this way, the aristocratic family's control over the local area will be further weakened, and the aristocratic family's influence will become smaller and smaller.
As this matter was of great importance, Li Min also expressed his anger with Li Shimin in advance.
