Soon, someone came to the East Palace.

They saluted Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old man is polite!"

"Shangguan Yi has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

It was Ouyang Xun and Shangguan Yi who came.

"Shangguan Yi and Master Ouyang are coming, come and go, sit and sit!"

Li Chengqian warmly beckoned the two to sit down.

But I saw that there was another person outside behind him.

Li Chengqian Dingqing saw that he was from Jiji, and it had been a long time since he was recruited last time, and he had been studying with Ouyang Xun.

The arrival of the two today brought him directly. It seems to have a slight purpose.

When Li Chengqian saw him, he remembered that this guy is also a talent, and he can make good use of him.

"Come on, come in too!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Lai Ji saluted Li Chengqian.

After that, he also entered the room.

"I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to come over?"

Ouyang asked.

It has been more than a year since the last imperial examination reform, and at this time the prince asked them to come to the East Palace, which made them a little flattered, why?

That's because of the prince's summons, there must be something important, and it should also be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. It's like last time, it's going to be vigorous.

Li Chengqian made tea in his hand and gave each of the three of them a cup.

The three of them took it with both hands and took a sip.

And after a while, Li Chengqian said slowly: "Let you come over today, there is one thing for you to help this king do!" ”

Shangguan Yi said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say, we will definitely complete it, let alone help, that's what we should do!"

"That's good, that's right! This king wants to set up a new department in Datang, called the department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, which is in charge of the king's two younger brothers, Li Ke and Li Tai, and this department is particularly important as the productivity of Datang after Datang, so some professional talents are needed! ”

Later, Li Chengqian repeated the introduction of what science and technology are, and also said the truth that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they were very excited to hear it.

Ouyang asked: "These professionals are probably the most lacking in Datang, right?" We've got to think long-term. ”

Shangguan Yi said:

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, this person can't be recruited casually, I think that some people can be selected from among the students and let them devote themselves to research."

Ouyang Xun said again:

"Although these students can participate, their professionalism is not enough, and I am afraid that this technology department will not be able to start using it in a short time!"

The concerns of the two are shared by everyone.

How could Li Chengqian not think of it.

He said: "On this point, you can rest assured, now this king wants you to select five thousand people from all the Tang schools in the entire Tang Dynasty!" ”

Five thousand?

Why five thousand?

That's because his teaching ability is at the top of 5,000 people, and it's okay to have less.

Where do the three know why?

But they knew that Li Chengqian was going to do a big thing, so it was not good to ask anything more.

Ouyang asked:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how do you choose?"

So I asked about the basic principles of the candidate.

"In terms of selection, the first point is naturally to be loyal to Datang, and second, they have to sign a 20-year contract, and they can only work in the Ministry of Science and Technology during these 20 years. The third point is to be young, between the ages of twelve and fifteen, and not even more than one year old. Of course, the treatment corresponding to these three requirements must also keep up. Families who are selected can be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and those who are selected will be given 1,000 yuan a year in return! ”

Li Chengqian's choice is reasonable, this is a major matter that benefits the country and the people, and it is not something that some cats and hunters can do. It has to be loyal to Datang, especially his own existence. You also need to be energetic and able to work for more than 30 years.

There is nothing ahead, but when Li Chengqian talks about these conditions and treatments, everyone will be tempted.

Especially when I came to Ji, the whole person was a little sluggish. That's a great thing! He's already tempted.

But I can't dare to mention it directly.

Ouyang Xun responded: "In this way, it is not difficult! How much time does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need? ”

If there is no difficulty, of course, the faster the better.

So he said, "In five days, be quick!" The number of places is limited, and the principle of proximity is the same, and the number of people who can be recruited in the vicinity will not be expanded. If time is enough, the first 5,000 people will be selected! Is it difficult? ”

"It's not difficult, it's just time and people, I'm afraid it will be insufficient!"

"At this point, this king also thought of it, let Cheng Chumo and the four of them join your ranks, and if you need people, let the teachers of the school screen some people together in the early stage."

Now it's almost the Chinese New Year, and the school will also have a holiday, so there will be a relative surplus of manpower, and these people are paid to help, and everyone will want to go.

Li Chengqian thought about all of this for them.

Ouyang asked: "Yes!" ”

And when Li Chengqian looked at Laiji, he said deliberately: "This time, the three of you will be responsible together." ”

Three?

Three, you look at me, I look at yours.

In the eyes of Ouyang Xun and Shangguan Yi, Laiji is still a student.

But Li Chengqian's resolute expression told them that Li Chengqian's decision was not a joke.

Lai Ji said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid I won't be competent!" After all, the stakes are high! ”

He looked a little lacking in confidence.

"You can, this king believes in you!"

Li Chengqian could not be questioned, so that Laiji was suddenly moved.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will do a good job when I come to Jiji!"

Lai Ji is the prime minister's talent, so it is naturally not a problem for him to do this kind of thing.

At the same time, if he does well, he can be promoted on this ground, and one day, he may even be able to enter the court.

"Alright, without further ado, let's get started! This should be done very quickly, the sooner the better, time waits for no one! ”

"Yes! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured! We won't let you down. ”

"This king also believes in you! The future strength of Datang is inseparable from your support! This king thinks you are proud! ”

Li Chengqian's words made the three of them boil.

"In this case, we will go down and arrange one or two!"

"Go ahead!"

The three of them left the East Palace, and then Li Jing also arrived at the East Palace.

On this day, Li Chengqian arranged many things, especially the punishment of the Cui family and the Lu family.

At present, because they are in the same stream as Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's deeds are corrupt, it just gives Li Chengqian a reason to eradicate their two families.

Because the two great families are intertwined, it is necessary to eradicate them in the best possible way.

Therefore, Li Jing stayed in the East Palace for about two hours before leaving the East Palace.

Then we have to wait for the final result.
