The next day, at the end of the day

Lin Xu slept lazily as a matter of course, and after eating the exquisite breakfast brought by Zhu Zhen, Lin Xu found a carriage to invite Jia Xu to sneak out of the city, and casually found a grassy hill and lay down directly.

"Wenhe, I won't say anything superfluous, I'm alive, you're alive, if I accidentally get cold, you can still live, and as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't let you drink porridge."

After that, Lin Xu didn't say a word, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

After a long time, Jia Xu said leisurely

"Dare to ask the immortals, what do you need to do next?"

"Simple"

Lin Xu opened his eyes and sat up, looked around, within a radius of five miles, except for the two of them, there was only one Zhu Zhen waiting on the side, and no one should be able to eavesdrop.

"Form an intelligence organization for me, an intelligence organization that is stronger than the embroidered messenger."

Jia Xu squinted when he heard this, and sat down next to Lin Xu, this job is not easy to accept, the embroidered messenger has a hundred years of inheritance, a very perfect inheritance, even if it has been abandoned for a long time, but the remaining intelligence network is quite terrifying, a butcher who has been selling pork for a whole generation is inexplicably an embroidered messenger, can you believe it?

"Is there something in this world that the immortals don't know?"

After carefully observing Lin Xu's behavior, Jia Xu felt that he had probably touched the temperament of this immortal, this is a very easy-going, unconventional person, and his temper is also very good, which is very suitable for his appetite, otherwise he would not dare to ask so.

Lin Xu smiled when he heard this

"Of course I can know some important things, but most of them are not that damn things, I don't want to know, you know?"

"I understand, since I have been a staff member of the Immortal, I am naturally willing to serve the Immortal."

"Okay, I adopted a group of orphans and beggars in Luoyang, and then you will take over the family, first start to lay the intelligence network in Luoyang, all the way to the northwest, I want to get detailed information about the Western Regions in the shortest possible time."

"Understood"

Jia Xu bowed his head and responded, the Western Regions, it seems that this immortal is going to make a move on the Western Regions, but the distance is so far away, and the army is very lossy, and the gains from a battle may not even be enough for military funds, I don't know what solution this person has.

Jia Xu, a ghost place in the Western Regions, has actually had in-depth research, with many small countries and endless strife, relatively barren land, but it is indeed the throat of the Silk Road, and the annual commercial tax output alone can far exceed the output of the richest state in the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that the Han family's ruling range can't completely cover the Western Regions, and it can be fought, but it's pointless if it can't be occupied, and I heard that the fighting in the Western Regions to the west is also very fierce.

"What does Wenhe teach me about Li Wenyou?"

Seeing that Jia Xu, a first-class old fox, was solved, Lin Xu finally revealed his true purpose.

In fact, Jia Xu and Lin Xu are not worried, throughout history, Jia Xu followed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo cooled up with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and then defected to fellow villager Duan Xuan, and became the strategist of fellow villager Zhang Xiu, and finally followed Cao Cao. All kinds of job hopping, but people have the means to make it impossible for you to say that he is disloyal and unjust, a slave with five surnames or something.

But it can also be shown that die-hard loyalists in this guy's dictionary belong to the thing that can be fed to the dog at any time, he will not pit his lord, but he will never die with a piece, whoever has the ability, whoever can protect him will be mixed with whom. The good thing to say is: good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things.

"Wen You's mind is deep, and he doesn't know what to do"

"Fart!"

Lin Xu scolded with a smile

"You Jia Wen is kind to people's hearts, and you get along with Li Ru day and night, how can you not see through his thoughts. You don't have to pretend in front of this immortal, no one can pretend in front of me! ”

Jia Xu bowed his head and said nothing when he heard this, anyway, he was sure that Lin Xu would not kill him now, it was better to betray his friends or not to do it, especially for Li Ru, an old yin, and it was definitely not a wise choice to provoke him.

"Don't say? So guess what? ”

Seeing that Jia Xu looked like he was beaten to death and didn't say anything, Lin Xu was not in a hurry, and chuckled

"I said: Li Ru wants to rebel, are you right?"

Jia Xu buried his head even lower when he heard this, he only knew that he hadn't heard anything, and he didn't know anything about Li Ru.

"Oh~, it turns out that Wen Heyou thinks so, very good, Ben Qixian will go to tell Your Majesty, kill Li Ru first, and then slaughter Dong Zhuo's entire clan, Wen He's report is meritorious, how about Ben Qixian ask Your Majesty for you to wait outside the customs?"

Jia Xu secretly felt bitter in his heart when he heard this, he couldn't afford this pot.

"Lord Immortal, why bother with it."

"It's not to embarrass you, it's to save Li Ru, a great talent."

Lin Xu sighed, he was also heartbroken for these guys.

"Actually, I also know the bad water in Li Ru's head, but if you want to solve his problem, you still need your help. You've been together for so long, you know the roots, let's say, I need all the details. ”

"Wenyou's mind, I'm afraid no one can change it"

Lin Xu chuckled and patted Jia Xu on the shoulder

"I'm a fairy~"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment after hearing this, in fact, he also felt that Li Ru's chance of success was actually very small, if Liu Hong continued to be promiscuous like in previous years, maybe he still had a chance, but judging from the current situation, it was better to wash and sleep.

"Alas"

Jia Xu sighed lightly

"Wen You has three knots in his heart, one of which is that the big family monopolizes the world's knowledge, and the children of the poor family study hard. Second: After a lot of hard work, he has learned and succeeded, from the three princes and nine kings, to the life and fighting officials, all of whom are controlled by the family, and the children of the poor family have no way to work. Third: Wen You thinks that the Han family has ~~"

"Incorrigible, isn't it?"

"Don't dare"

"What's not to dare?"

Lin Xu sneered

"You two don't have the slightest reverence for the Han family in your hearts, and you don't have the same for Your Majesty. I'm here to tell you, Dahan, this immortal is protected! Even if Your Majesty becomes as mediocre as before, with me, the Han will prosper like you! You set up a car and go back and bring Li Ru to me. ”

Jia Xu wiped his sweat, he couldn't answer this, he just had the opportunity to slip away, and left quickly.

Half an hour later, the carriage came back with a gurgling back, and Li Ru, who had obviously been reminded by Jia Xu, saluted Lin Xu with a faint expression.

Lin Xu waved his hand and patted the turf beside him

"No need to be polite, come, sit here, let's have a good talk."

Li Ru paused, remembered Jia Xu's "informal etiquette", and sat down.

"Tell me, your ambition, your dream, perhaps, you don't need to accomplish it in such a drastic way."

"Didn't Jia Wenhe say it all? The high theory of the immortals is listening to it in the next morning. ”

"Do you know papermaking and printing brushes?"

"The papermaking technique produced by the fairy is naturally heard of and admired, but the printing technology ~~"

Of course, Li Ru would not be stupid enough to think that the printing technique in Lin Xu's mouth was the kind of useless thing now, and it must be a high-quality product, he still knew it.

"Also, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you in advance, it's a new type of printing, called movable type printing, with a new style of papermaking, I will send you a book of 10,000 words within a year, 100,000 copies!"

Looking at Li Ru, who was already stunned, Lin Xu raised his eyebrows

"Not enough? Two hundred thousand! ”

"Not enough? 300,000! ”

Goo

Li Ru opened his mouth and couldn't speak. A book of 10,000 words? 100,000 copies! How many words is a roll of bamboo slips? It's usually only three or four thousand words.

"When~ seriously?"

"Of course it's true, when the time comes, I will borrow books from them in the name of publishing books for the family, print a copy of them all, and then open the academy widely, recruit a large number of poor disciples, and even young children can come to the academy to enlighten and learn, and at that time, the family will no longer be able to monopolize knowledge."

"How can the family let the Immortal Immortal cut off his power!"

Li Ru, who came back to his senses, instantly discovered the biggest weakness in this plan, indeed, the family's monopoly of knowledge is equivalent to monopolizing official positions and rights. If Lin Xu breaks the monopoly of the family with one sword, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from the family.

"Just take your time, even if an ordinary child of a poor family has enough books to study, it is impossible to compare with the children of the family who have been cultivated for hundreds of years in terms of qualifications, we can start with a small official, and there are one or two cold families in the important position in the court, in a long period of time, the family is still in an absolute advantage, coupled with the support of His Majesty, they will not break out immediately."

Li Ru bowed his head slightly when he heard this, indeed, if the Hanmen had a strong enough force to support it, some low-level power families would not bite it to the death, plus there was plenty of time to buffer, boiling frogs in warm water, and there was a head.

"Then~, what about the rising career?"

"Imperial examination system!"

Lin Xu snapped his fingers

"Examination is the main way to select officials, and the best are selected, and those who are capable live in them. At the same time, an inspection system was set up to evaluate the political achievements of local officials in the school, and to promote official positions based on the political achievements of various localities. As for the specific planning, I'll tell you in detail later. ”

Seeing that Li Ru was silent, Lin Xu hit the railway while it was hot

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't like the power of the family too much, isn't the party ban just to suppress the family? We have His Majesty's backing, and Ben Qixian does it himself, you can think about it, whether it is better to do it according to my method, or to do it according to your own method, in addition, with me, whether Your Majesty is faint or holy, the Han will only flourish. ”
