Chapter 346: Win or Lose

"Haha......! Yes, if he has the strength to destroy Goguryeo, as the real boy said, why not give him a princess? ”

Speaking of this, Li Er couldn't help laughing: "If he can't win Goguryeo, he will have to give me all the income in two years, as well as the previous 20 million dowry, no matter how you look at it, I won't lose money in this gamble!" ”

"Looks like that's really the case......

Empress Eldest Sun thought about it, nodded approvingly, then frowned, and asked suspiciously, "But do you think Yin'er can do it?" ”

"I think...... Not likely! Almost all of my Tang Dynasty's troops are concentrated in Baekje, and there are only 100,000 troops guarding the northern frontier, not to mention destroying the Three Kingdoms, even Goguryeo is difficult to take! ”

Li Er pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"But Yin'er won't do things that you are not sure of......!"

Empress Changsun put down the chopsticks in her hand and analyzed them carefully, "According to Yin'er's past style, the reason why he can win every gamble is because he has full certainty, no matter how outrageous this matter seems, but he can do it, maybe it's the same this time?" ”

After her reminder, Li Er also thought with a solemn expression, "That's right, this kid has never lost a bet, maybe he already has a plan in his heart, just wait for me to bet with him!" ”

But in a flash, he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile, "If this is really the case, it would be better, I would marry him as a princess, and he would be able to solve the problem of Goguryeo to me, which is still very cost-effective!" ”

"Goguryeo is indeed restless, but its neighbor Silla has always submitted to the Tang Dynasty, if they are destroyed together this time, is it a bit excessive?"

Thinking of this, Empress Eldest Sun frowned and asked.

"Our main goal this time is Baekje, but if this kid can really take down Goguryeo, and Silla is adjacent to it, there is no need to keep it, and it can also play a role in killing chickens and monkeys, so that other states can be a little safe!"

"I heard that there are people in the DPRK and China who oppose this war?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked.

He also heard about this by accident, but she couldn't figure it out, Datang now has the ability to expand its territory, why should anyone oppose it?

"Alas, they are all newly appointed officials, which is really a headache ......!"

Li Er sighed deeply and continued, "Some time ago, that kid once suggested that I reform the imperial examination, otherwise this court will become the base of the seven major families, and I haven't taken it seriously, but now it seems that this imperial examination must be changed!" ”

"How?"

"This kid recommended Ma Zhou to me, saying that this person was born in poverty, is upright, and can be the director of the Ministry of Education!"

"Ministry of Education? Datang has always been three provinces and six ministries, when will there be another Ministry of Education? ”

"That's right, this is also this kid's suggestion to me, saying that an independent Ministry of Education should be set up in addition to the six departments, and this department will be responsible for promoting education to the children of the poor family, and it is estimated that it will not take long to see results!"

"Well, that's great!"

"Wait until next year's scientific examination, I plan to hand it over to this kid, he has a lot of ideas, maybe he can select some more useful talents for me!"

……

"You're looking for me?"

Hou Qingli ran briskly to the Pony Mansion and asked happily.

In the past, she had always taken the initiative to find him, but this time it was different, it was someone sent by the colt to find her, which made her extremely happy.

"After the school's admissions standards were lowered, did there be more applicants?"

Zhao Yin lay comfortably on the rocking chair in the yard and asked lazily.

"There are naturally many students who are free of board and lodging, but there are many of them who eat and drink!"

When Hou Qingli heard that she was asking about this, she was a little disappointed.

"And then?"

Zhao Yin closed his eyes and asked.

"Then I came up with a way, a small test every five days, a big test every ten days, and filter out all those who want to fish in troubled waters!"

Hou Qingli raised her little head and said with a slight meaning.

"Well, well done, how many students are left in the academy now?"

"About five thousand!"

"This student will continue to recruit, and mainly cultivate those talents in iron smelting and manufacturing!"

"It's already being trained, and some students have graduated and have been left directly in the firearms factory!"

"It's only been a few days since you've been studying? Just graduated? ”

"Yes, the firearms factory said that there was a shortage of talents, so we stepped up training for this department, and then went directly to the firearms factory, not only with free food and lodging, but also with a high salary, and they were very happy!"

Hou Qingli gushed about her great achievements.

"Okay, continue to work hard, and when the school has a certain scale next year, this concubine will tell His Majesty and let him make you the squire of the Ministry of Education!"

After Zhao Yin nodded with satisfaction, he began to build a beautiful blueprint for her.

"Really?"

When Hou Qingli heard that she was going to be named a waiter, she was immediately interested.

You must know that the position of this squire is only below Shangshu, and she is also the first female official of the court in history, which is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors!

"When did this pony fool you?"

Zhao Yin nodded with a serious face.

But her heart has blossomed, this little girl is easy to deceive, she said this by herself, just to make her work harder, she really believed it.

"Okay, I'll leave the affairs of this school to me, and I will ensure that you will continue to receive talents!"

After listening to his words, Hou Qingli was immediately full of enthusiasm and said happily.

"One more thing......!"

Zhao Yin took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to her, "There are too few courses in the school now, this is the manufacturing method of cement, as well as looms and generators...... Let the master who will be the prisoner lead people to study it first, hoping that before the horse comes back, they can study some results! ”

"You...... Is this going out? ”

However, the point of what Hou Qingli heard was not to research the new machine, but that he seemed to be going far away.

"Yes, Your Majesty sent me to the northern Xinjiang to fight, it is estimated that it will take two or three months to return to the court at the earliest, if this horse comes back, you can see these machines, this credit will be yours!"

"Good!"

I heard that I had only been there for a few months, and Hou Qingli was suddenly relieved.

"Master Horse, ** ask to see ......!"

At this moment, Xue Rengui came to report.

"Bring him here!"

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui gave up his hand, turned around and ran out, and not long after, he walked back with **.

"Master Horse, Master Horse, great joy ......!"

**Before he walked to Zhao Yin's side, he began to shout loudly.

Hou Qingli looked confused, and didn't understand what was going on at all.

"The wedding event of this horse has been done a few days ago, and the gift you still give, where is there any happy event?"

Zhao Yin waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
