Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 165 165. How many years have you not been to this place?

“Then you carve out a piece of land in the country, sow it over and over again, and sell it.

"In the end, I can only watch him turn into a piece of meat?"

Li Shimin was not polite and sat down next to Jiang Chen, picked up the bottle and started drinking.

He sighed: "What do you want?"

Jiang Chen turned his head, stared at the fat sheep Li and said with a smile: "I will hand over 10 kilograms of grain seeds and cultivation methods right now."

"No money will be charged this time!"

Li Shimin frowned, what's going on?

Seeing the treacherous look on Jiang Chen's face, he thought she would say, "But, you have to promise me something."

Li Shimin's intuition told him that Jiang Chen's request was too much.

Cuixiang Tower!

Li Shimin looked at the private room in front of him. The layout of this private room was not inferior to that of a brothel in the capital.

Although many people are jealous of Li Shimin's harem, what Li Shimin is even more jealous of is that those rich people can enter Pingkangfang. This is the way people's hearts are. If you are jealous of others, maybe others will be jealous of you too.

In fact, in this regard, he is not as good as the rich people in the capital.

When King Qin became General Tiance, he had to prepare for his throne, so his reputation was very important.

Therefore, he could not go to heaven and earth, and could only look at the ocean and sigh.

Once you become the emperor, you can't go.

The Censor is staring at him, the bachelors in the Imperial College are also staring at him, and even Mr. Wei is also staring at him.

This was the first time in his life that he drank with Cheng Yaojin when he was happy.

It wasn't until the curfew ended that the two of them staggered out, but were caught by Wu Hou who was patrolling the streets.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei went crazy and wanted to take Wu Hou on a patrol. This is a real tragedy!

He was scolded all day long in the imperial study room of the Manna Hall.

Even Cheng Yaojin was beaten thirty times! .

……

Five years have passed, and he never imagined that he would appear here!

Li Shimin, on the other hand, was thinking about how he would ask after the exam was over. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen was so enthusiastic and insisted on taking him for a drink.

Jiang Chen is not an unreasonable person. Since the other party is willing to pay 10% more rent, it is natural that he wants to treat him. "Go! Go! Go!"

Jiang Chen pulled Lao Li over and saw that he looked like he had seen a ghost: "What are you afraid of?"

"Can your wife still come after you?"

Li Shimin said with lingering fear:

"My daughter and her servants are out, and if they are caught, we are doomed."

Jiang Chen was slightly startled: "Big Rich Li, why is your daughter in a place like this?"

This time, he was really scared.

This place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is also a borderland. Who can recognize me?

The censors, as well as those annoying bachelors, all have clairvoyance.

Li Shimin's heart suddenly lifted.

He held his robe and strode to the table.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, you can figure it out."

Jiang Chen nodded, now like a man.

He didn't do anything too extreme, just watching this scene made him drink more happily.

boom!

As soon as Jiang Chen clapped his hands, a beautiful woman holding a guqin and a pipa came over.

Then, two more dancers walked in.

"Old Li, do you want to watch Han music and dance, or Western dance?"

Li Shimin poured the grapes produced in the Qilian Mountains into a glass and praised: "Not bad, not bad."

We want to develop the entire Western Region, attack Shule City, and occupy the entire Silk Road!

Now, what he has to do is to implement the imperial examination.

If this exam goes smoothly, more talents will be selected to develop in the Western Region.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Chen understood.

He smiled slightly and said: "In that case, let's come together!"

One said in broken Chinese: "Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Another Han woman also agreed.

As the essence of the nation and a manifestation of spiritual and cultural life, Han music and dance play a decisive role in this aspect. Thus, a Han Dynasty music and dance kicked off.

By appreciating Han dance and listening to Han music, one can understand life and compose poetry.

Western dance is a new form.

Lao Li probably wanted to try something new, so he arranged to perform in the second half! In this way, in the soft music, the two sang quietly.

Dance gracefully and gracefully.

Jiang Chen and Li Shimin sat together, drinking and enjoying the food. After chatting for a while, the two people chatted together.

"Brother!" Li Shimin hugged Jiang Chen's shoulders and his face turned slightly red.

Ok?

"Are we friends of the same generation? You call me brother?" Jiang Chen spit out a breath of alcohol.

Ha ha!

"Everyone has their own interests. On the battlefield, there is no distinction between father and son. At the wine table, there is no distinction between seniority. They are all brothers."

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "You have to sign this contract, and your cousin Li Jing also has to sign it."

Li Shimin asked: "Why?"

"His reputation is so high that his name is worth a seal, and that's the guarantee."

Li Shimin's face turned red and he nodded:

"Okay, I will tell him. The contract is given to you, and it's time to give me the grain seeds."

"Deal!" Jiang Chen saw that Lao Li was a little dizzy, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay, old man, don't worry!

Li Shimin shook his head, looking confused.

He can't drink anymore. If he drinks again, he will forget about business. "brother!"

"As you said, if we want to fully promote the imperial examination, we must conduct a trial examination from the descendants of fifth-rank officials."

"I told my brother about this matter, and he also told the emperor, and the emperor agreed!"

"However, since it is a pilot project, it is of course very important and there is no room for sloppiness."

"If there is, I will apply to His Majesty personally."

Please!

After finally escaping, what if he was killed by an imperial edict again?

Is it possible that he would make his injuries worse because of an imperial decree, and then use another imperial decree to restore his injuries to the original state? Such an excuse is really disrespectful.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "If that's the case, then I have nothing to advise."

"If you want to agree, just say it was your idea, or go back and tell General Li Jing that I have a way."

"Anyway, don't sell me out."

"Anyway, you'd better stop thinking about me." Jiang Chen said as Li Shimin rolled his eyes. How popular is Li Shimin?

This person would rather give up his achievements to others than come to Chang'an to see him.

"Row!"

"It's easy!"

Jiang Chen nodded, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"In fact, most of the people taking this exam are children from official families, and their fathers are first-rank officials."

"No matter how bad I am, I can still read."

"There is no need to take a test on basic composition. It must be targeted."

"The literary test is more about testing the officials' abilities and their ability to govern the country."

"For example, in my hometown Bashu, there are not only Han people there, but also many different races, and everyone is very strong."

"Moreover, we can also publish a practical essay."

"There was a flood somewhere. It destroyed several villages, killed countless people, made countless people homeless, and destroyed their houses. If you were asked to go to disaster relief, what would you do?"

"Besides, hasn't Tuyuhun been wiped out by us?"

"If you are transferred to the position of Jiedushi, how can you make them completely devoted to the Han Dynasty?"

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Li Shimin finally understood.

This is true!

From this point, we can see how high the official positions of these viscounts are and how deep their understanding of official positions is. Although it is just a piece of paper, if you can answer it correctly, it has already explained some problems.

It’s better than knowing nothing!

Li Shimin stood up and poured Jiang Chen a glass of wine, "With your talent, it's a pity that you don't serve as an official in the capital."

The two drank it all, and Li Shimin asked again: "What's the answer?"

"Do you want to give me an answer?

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I don't know, everyone got the answer right!"

“The more the merrier!”

"Your Majesty is not blind. You can naturally tell it when you grade the test papers."

At this point, Jiang Chen looked at Old Li and said bluntly: "If you can't tell which one is better from so many answers, then it means you were a waste!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and wished he could kill Jiang Chen now! However, he couldn't bear to kill this man. All right!

His name changed from Li Shimin to Li Zitian.

"Hell..."

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Jiang Chen. This Cheng Yaojin made him very unhappy.

Jiang Chen is probably the only one who can make the always calm Li Shimin curse like Cheng Yaojin.

The reason is simple.

This time the assessment was not just for those viscounts, but also for him.

If you can't tell which is right or wrong, you are a blind man. He once ate and waited to die.

"What's the topic of martial arts?"

"Since the Sui Dynasty, we have never held any examinations, so we have no experience in selecting talents at all."

"Nowadays, there are so many veteran generals. When the time comes, all the older generation will be gone, and the younger generation's successors will have to rely on the strength of the family to take over. Isn't this bad?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said:

"Let me think about it."

There are really too few ways to select talents in the current martial arts disciplines.

These young generals are all sons of generals.

What level will the descendants of this veteran be, and will they inherit his father's legacy?

As long as you can come up with a practical solution, you can inherit your father's position, and even get a higher position. Without ability, even if your father is a first- and second-grade general, you are just a seventh- and eighth-grade little girl!

Jiang Chen asked: "What did your Majesty mean at the beginning?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I heard that even the emperor has a headache."

"I asked my brother first and then Cheng Yaojin, but neither of them satisfied him."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, Lao Li: "Is this okay?"

"Even I may not be able to answer the questions Li Jing asked."

"If it were Cheng Yaojin, then I wouldn't do it."

Li Shimin's eyes widened and he stared at Jiang Chen. Sure enough!

Li Jing asked a question that most people couldn't answer, but he actually thought about it with himself. The questions asked by Cheng Yaojin are not something that ordinary people can answer.
