Chapter 103 It's All Routine (Please recommend a ticket)
Although Li Shimin didn't quite believe it, he hadn't tried it yet, so he didn't say much.
"How can you solve the problem of power?" Li Shimin asked.
He has always wanted to reduce the proportion of the family's officials in the court, but there is no good way.
This is also the reason why he has always tolerated the aristocratic family. He is afraid that the officials of the aristocratic family will hang up their seals and leave, so that no one in the court will be available.
"Your Majesty, isn't there an imperial examination, you can open a subject to obtain a scholar." Lin Xuan said.
The imperial examination system was established by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, which is a major development and reform of China's official selection system.The imperial examination system is open to all talents in the country, regardless of birth or family background, and the selection of officials is carried out by means of sub-subject examinations based on their talents.The imperial examination system was inherited and developed in the Tang Dynasty.
"The Tang Dynasty originally used imperial examinations to select scholars, but how many people from poor families can read and write? Those selected are not from aristocratic families." Li Shimin said disappointedly.
Lin Xuan said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, poor families make up the majority of the world. No matter how few people study, there are still a lot of them. There are always some talents among so many people. As long as there is a little preference for students from poor families, others will see that they will have a bright future when they study. Aren’t there more people who read books?”
The life of the poor family is difficult, and most of the books are in the hands of the aristocratic family. There must be a gap between the students of the poor family and the children of the aristocratic family.
Don't show favoritism, most of the admissions are children from aristocratic families, and the children from poor families have no hope of getting ahead, who has the time to study.
Li Shimin said: "Can the people selected in this way rule the world well?"
"Your Majesty, reading is to broaden your horizons and learn the truth. Which book teaches people how to be officials? What's the impact of lack of knowledge? The selection of officials is not for them to become great Confucians and learn." Lin Xuan said.
What Lin Xuan said made Li Shimin suddenly realize that, yes, knowledge is not the main criterion for being an official.
"As long as His Majesty takes the imperial examination as the only way to select scholars, and selects more students from poor families, His Majesty will naturally have more and more talents available in the future. Without these, the aristocratic family will naturally decline slowly." Lin Xuan said.
Decline is real, and disappearance is impossible, but there will be no big family like Wuxing Qiwang.
Li Shimin asked thoughtfully, "Is there anything else?"
"The minister is finished!"
Lin Xuan is speechless, you are not finished, I say so much for your daughter's sake, otherwise the ghost will talk so much to you.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Then you go back."
"Your Majesty, Princess Changle..." Lin Xuan was in a hurry, what about the agreed test?
Co-authored me talking for so long without even taking a sip of water, so you tell me to go back after talking?
Li Shimin said angrily: "I will find an opportunity to announce this after a year."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan said happily.
After being busy for so long, it was finally not in vain.
Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling Lin Xuan to back down.
Lin Xuan bowed and saluted, and then slowly backed out.
After Lin Xuan left, Li Shimin sat there thinking for a while, and then said: "Shangshu Gao Shilian of the Ministry of Officials, Wei Ting, Doctor of the Imperial History, Cen Wenwen, Minister of Zhongshu, and Linghu Defen, Minister of Rites."
"Yes!" Li Mu replied.
Gao Shilian and the others work in the government office, so they are not far away, and they will arrive soon.
"Your Majesty, I will see you." Gao Shilian and the others saluted.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Wai Li, I called you here because I have something for you to handle."
"Your Majesty please order!"
"The "Clan History" has not been edited for many years. I intend to let the four of you be responsible for re-editing it. What do you think?" Li Shimin said.
"Your servant will take orders!" Gao Shilian and the others agreed without thinking too much.
Li Shimin was worried that they would not understand what he meant, and hinted: "All the ministers of the court who have made meritorious service should be ranked in the forefront according to their meritorious service, so that future generations can learn from them."
Gao Shilian and the others are all good people. As soon as Li Shimin said it, they understood what Li Shimin meant.
Several people smiled wryly, this is an offending job, but they have already agreed, and it is hard to refuse now.
……
Lin Xuan was in a very good mood, humming a ditty all the way back home.
He came to the yard where his parents lived, and was going to talk to Lin Dongyang about building the house.
Unexpectedly, only Zhang Qing was there.
"Mother, what are you doing? Where is my father?" Lin Xuan asked.
Zhang Qing put down the account book in his hand and said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, and I went to inspect the store at home. Mom is now settling accounts!"
"Mother is amazing!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Zhang Qing said proudly: "That's right, your father can do business, but he still has to rely on his mother to settle accounts."
"Mother, with so many ledgers, can you do the math?" Lin Xuan felt distressed looking at the thick pile of ledgers on the table.
Zhang Qing sighed and said: "Mother is getting older, she is not as good as before, and now her eyes hurt after reading a few pages. You don't know how to help mother!"
"Mother, if you didn't tell me earlier, I'll help you to calculate. I'm very good at calculating accounts!" Lin Xuan said, ready to get the account book.
Zhang Qing patted Lin Xuan's hand back, and said angrily: "Who told you to help your mother like this? The male lead outside and the female lead inside, if you want to help your mother, marry a daughter-in-law and come back, and mother will give all these things to you." give her!"
"Mom, I'm only 14 years old, what's the rush!" Lin Xuan smiled wryly, full of routines.
But he didn't plan to tell his family about Li Lizhi's matter now, after all, Li Shimin hadn't made an order yet.
"Alas~" Zhang Qing sighed, and said, "Xuan'er, you will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year, and it's time to get married. Originally, your parents should arrange marriage for you, but your parents are incompetent, and all you know are merchants. Now that you have a title, of course you can’t marry a merchant’s daughter.”
"Mother, my marriage is settled." Lin Xuan didn't want to make his mother sad, and was going to tell about Li Lizhi.
Zhang Qing asked in surprise: "Tell Mother quickly, which family's daughter is it?"
"Mother, it's a princess. His Majesty promised to give her a marriage in the next year!" Lin Xuan said.
"How is it possible? You shouldn't be talking nonsense to make your mother happy. Xuan'er, this kind of joke can't be taken!" Zhang Qing said hastily.
Lin Xuan was lucky enough to be made a noble, and she was already very satisfied. She never thought about being a princess as a daughter-in-law.
"Mother, it's true! How dare I talk nonsense about such things." Lin Xuan was helpless. This was the reason why he didn't intend to say it before.
I'm afraid no one will believe it!
Zhang Qing asked suspiciously: "You didn't lie to your mother?"
"Mother, don't worry, I never lied to you!" Lin Xuan said with certainty.
Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be lying, Zhang Qing said happily: "My son's ability to marry the princess is due to the virtues accumulated by his ancestors in several lifetimes. No, I will call your father back quickly and tell him the good news."
"Mother~, we have to wait for His Majesty's decree to spread this matter." Lin Xuan hurriedly pulled Zhang Qing back.
"Yes, yes, when will His Majesty make an order?" Zhang Qing asked.
In her opinion, His Majesty's decree is a certainty.
"Mother, Your Majesty said that the decree will be issued in the next year!" Lin Xuan said.
"It will take so long." Zhang Qing was a little disappointed.
Lin Xuan was speechless, the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, how long will it last.
"Mother, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back to bed first." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he ran away quickly.
