After staying in front of the examinee for a while, the three of Li Yin continued to patrol the examination room, turned around, and went back upstairs.
"His Royal Highness seems to be very interested in the candidate just now?" Li Yin just sat down when Shangguanyi brought Li Yin a cup of tea and said.
Dou Xiande also saw it, so he said: "It's not surprising, isn't Shangguan Zhang Shi also very important to Guan Sixing?"
"His name is Guan Sixing?" Li Yin asked at this time, he glanced at Guan Sixing's comments on emphasizing agriculture and commerce, and felt that Guan Sixing's answer was on point.
On the examination paper, Guan Sixing wrote: Merchants pursue profit instead of production. The development of Yizhou can indeed promote economic development and bring a rich life to the people, but at the same time, it needs to be established on the basis that agricultural production can meet the needs of the people, and the prosperity of Yizhou's commerce is based on the excess agricultural productivity in Yizhou. In fact, this provided conditions for the development of commerce, and the center of gravity of the economy began to shift to commerce and handicrafts.
This phenomenon is a manifestation of the prosperity of Yizhou, but at the same time, the behavior of merchants should also be controlled. Too many people abandoning their land will inevitably affect food production, and rich merchants can use their money to buy a large amount of land, and finally form a field of rich people. In the long run, the poor have no land, which will inevitably lead to food shortages in the long run. The consequences of businessmen controlling the lifeline of the country, and big businessmen are more capable of evading taxes, which will lead to a reduction in tax revenue. Secondly, big businessmen will inevitably seek political interests. Commercial services, leading to the integration of government and business, and even politics serving business, manipulating the behavior of the government to seek commercial interests, regardless of the country's rise and fall.
"Returning to Your Highness, his name is Guan Sixing. This Guan Sixing is one of the best students in the School of Political Affairs. I have talked with him many times. I also asked him about some government affairs. He answered everything fluently." Shangguanyi praised Guan Sixing without hesitation.
Li Yin nodded and said: "It is indeed a talent!" Under the premise of being limited by the feudal era of the Tang Dynasty, it is really rare for Guan Sixing to have such an opinion. The scene he described in his article came from capitalism. In the society of country m, the phenomenon of chaebols controlling national politics, "After the exam is over, you will score the papers against the answers. Be flexible and don't be too rigid."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Shangguanyi and Dou Xiande responded, and Li Yin only came for a formality to show how much he attached importance to the government affairs examination.
After drinking the tea, Li Yin gently put down the teacup, "After your selection is over, I'll invite you to drink matcha. Don't drink this tea after it's brewed. It's like drinking porridge. Let you understand what tea is."
"Matcha?" Shangguanyi and Dou Xiande were at a loss. Never heard of it.
Li Yan bought a pass and said: "You will know in a few days, and you will not be disappointed."
"That humble minister is waiting for His Highness's treat." Shangguanyi laughed.
Leaving the School of Political Affairs, Li Yin went to medical school. It has been a month since Empress Changsun and Li Yuan came to Yizhou. Under Sun Simiao's careful treatment, coupled with the nurse's considerate care, their condition has improved a lot.
"Grandfather?" Li Yin entered the medical hall. He went directly to the third floor and poked his head in front of Li Yuan's ward.
When Li Yuan first came to Yizhou, he was as skinny as a stick, and after a month of recuperation. Li Yuan has undergone earth-shaking changes, now his face is glowing red, his waist is round and his body is fat.
"It's Yin'er! Come quickly." Li Yuan beckoned to Li Yin. Cui Yingying was in charge of taking care of Empress Changsun. The responsibility of taking care of Li Yuan naturally fell on Li Yin's head. The two of them have gotten to know each other well in the past month. Li Yuan saved Li Yin some etiquette, which shows Li Yuan's love for Li Yin.
Looking at Li Yin with a smile on his face, Li Yuan's eyes showed a light of kindness. Ten years have passed, and the long-lost family relationship has returned to him, which makes him cherish the old man. Sometimes he even thinks about his life. why? The son killed each other, and he was put under house arrest by his son. It would be better to be an ordinary citizen and enjoy the family happiness.
"Grandfather, look what I brought you?" Li Yin was holding a food box in his hand, shaking it in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan sniffed, and smiled in surprise, "Chicken stewed mushrooms!"
Li Yan opened the food box, and inside was a bowl of rice and a large dish with oily flakes floating in it. It was chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Swallowing, Li Yuan picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, then showed an expression of enjoyment, "It's so delicious!"
In the past month, Li Yin has eaten all the meals carefully prepared by the palace. The materials and seasonings used have basically reached the standard of modern dishes. Needless to say, the taste is not to mention. With the original ecological ingredients, these meals are better than modern dishes. It must be delicious. After all, these chickens, ducks and fish are not grown on feed, it can be said that they are all wild.
Li Yin laughed and said: "Grandfather has eaten, don't forget to take medicine."
Li Yuan had eaten his fill at this time, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Lunch was delivered to Li Yuan, and Li Yin turned a corner and went to the ward of Empress Changsun. In fact, Li Yin didn't come here often, but he still did it every now and then, otherwise it would be inappropriate in this era of benevolence and filial piety.
"Your Highness!" Li Yin came in, Cui Yingying stood up, and within a month, Cui Yingying returned to her previous appearance and regained her mood.
Li Yin smiled at Cui Yingying, and said to Empress Changsun: "How is the mother's body recovering now?"
"It's much better." Empress Changsun is much better than when she came here, but her recovery speed is not as fast as that of Li Yuan, and her body is still a little weak, but all kinds of diseases have disappeared a lot, but she is still nourishing her body, Sun Simiao It is said that it will take about three months to fully recover.
"The minister there is relieved." The illnesses of Li Yuan and Empress Changsun were all relieved under Sun Simiao's treatment. Li Yin wrote to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was very happy and praised Li Yin in his reply. He accepted it without humility, because he really spent a lot of effort, buying various medicines and tools from Hyundai, and went to many stores to buy a lot of skin care products for them to restore their bodies. It was really hard work.
After chatting with Empress Changsun for a while, Li Yin asked Cui Yingying, "Where did Sun Lao go?"
Bringing this up, Cui Yingying laughed and said, "The two imperial physicians pestered him to learn from him, and Elder Sun was scared away again."
Hearing this, Empress Changsun also laughed, she said: "Sun Simiao's medical skills are really superb. When I was in Chang'an, all the imperial physicians were helpless to deal with my illness, but he was just as easy to grasp. This medical skill from Luo Anguo is really miraculous. .”
Li Yin said: "Mr. Sun himself is also an excellent disease doctor among the people. He learned some new medical skills here so that he can show his strengths. He will be very happy to be praised by his mother."
"This is also inseparable from your credit. It was the right choice for the emperor to defy all opinions and hand over Bashu to you for management." After the condition of Empress Changsun was relieved, did Cui Yingying take her to tour around Yizhou? , and of course Empress Changsun's tour was not just a tour. She looked at the city from the perspective of a ruler, and the uniqueness of Yizhou really shocked her deeply.
The people here are well-off, the business travel is better than Chang'an, there are many shops, and the people who buy goods are also shoulder to shoulder, not deserted, and the Yizhou special food launched by the hotels along the street has attracted a lot of business travel. Dining, according to Cui Yingying, the food here is made of the same refined salt and vegetable oil as what she eats, which makes her even more embarrassed. For her, these delicious dishes should be very precious, and they don’t want to be common among the people. diet.
Li Yin smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment."
Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction. He had never seen the arrogance of some princes from Li Yin, but he only saw humility.
After talking for a while, Empress Changsun seemed a little sleepy, Li Yin left the ward and said goodbye to Li Yuan.
Going back with Cui Yingying, Cui Yingying remembered something on the way and said: "His Royal Highness, I heard that the private school that was shelved before will start again, and both men and women can go to school, and there are separate schools for boys and girls."
These policies are all on the bright side, everyone knows, Li Yin nodded and said: "Yes, there was a lack of resources in the past, and now a large number of gentry are pouring into Yizhou, we have also cultivated a lot talents, let them do some simple teaching.”
Cui Yingying nodded slightly, and said: "Since there are boys' and girls' schools, does that mean we girls can also be teachers?"
"Naturally then." Li Yin looked at Cui Yingying strangely and said, "Do you want to teach?"
"No, it's Zheng Binglan and Zheng Binglu. They have nothing to do every day, and there is no suitable position for them in the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this teaching right now?" Cui Yingying said with a smile.
Cui Yingying's words made Li Yin suddenly have another idea, saying that women can hold up half the sky, and Yizhou can't stick to the old thinking when it embarks on a new road. It is a waste of manpower and intelligence. If Yizhou wants to develop greatly, it must make full use of everyone's potential, and it is time to encourage girls to go to school.
"That's right, it's a good idea. In this case, how about setting up a women's university in Yizhou, so that you can become a teacher after learning new knowledge? You don't have anything to do right now, so this women's university will be handed over to you and sister Zheng." , the palace will give you money and resources, it is up to you whether you can set up a women's university, if you can't do it, it means that your women are not as good as men." At the end of the sentence, Li Yin deliberately stimulated Cui Yingying.
Cui Yingying pouted, "Who says women are inferior to men?" (To be continued...)
