Chapter 163 Open a branch to seek talents, and students from all over the world return to Hedong

Seeing that Wang Bo had no objection, Yang Er continued:

"Well, then, let's do it one by one. You are responsible for supervising the construction of new seagoing vessels, and you must recruit more manpower and be built on time. Other categories of this king will arrange competent people to take over, Lord Wang don't worry, in less than 3 years, you will be the richest place in my Great Sui. ”

Seeing that Yang Er finished speaking, he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he was about to leave, but at this moment, Yang Er suddenly said a word to him. It's just that as soon as this sentence came out, Wang Bo was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't take a step.

"Lord Wang, your sister has reached the age of marriage, and this king is not married, and I want to marry Sister Dai as a concubine, I wonder if Lord Wang can fulfill it?"

"Huh? ---Since the prince has never been married, why ---- my sister can't be a wife but a concubine? ”

"Oh, when I was in Luoyang earlier, this king had promised to marry Xiao Meiniang, the daughter of Xiao Yue, the king of Liang, as his wife, so he could only take Sister Dai as his concubine. If this king ascends the throne as the emperor, Sister Dai will be the imperial concubine, you see----"

"This matter still needs to be discussed between the lower official and the sister-in-law, and the lower official has no opinion."

"Well, of course, if Sister Dai is unwilling, this king will not force it. It is also appropriate to ask Lord Wang to facilitate this matter. ”

Wang Bo's mood had calmed down at this time, and he felt happy in his heart, but it didn't show it on his face, so he said goodbye to Yang Er again and went out of the room, and went to his backyard to find his sister Wang Dai.

Yang Er saw him go away, and he also sighed in his heart. It seems that if you want to show your strength in this Donglai County, so that this Donglai County can truly belong to your sphere of influence, it is a last resort to sacrifice this harmony strategy, but fortunately, I also like Wang Dai, the sister, very much in my heart.

Wang Bo went out with his front foot, and Li Taizhi came to Yang's second room.

"Lord, there is a letter from the capital Yuwen Taifu." Li Taizhi said as he handed the letter in his hand to Yang Er.

"Huh! It's been a long time since there has been news from the capital. Yang Erxin took the letter and motioned for Li Taizhi to sit down by himself.

"Alas! Ninety percent of the 100 officials in the DPRK and China, especially the civil officials, have almost all voted under the prince's door. The king's power in the capital is getting weaker and weaker. Tearing open the envelope and just unfolding it for a moment, Yang Er couldn't help but sigh. Li Taizhi didn't dare to speak after listening to it, but just sat there quietly.

"Fortunately, the excavation of the Tongji Canal of the king is quite smooth, and the current process has reached three times, and the whole court agrees with this, and the people can see clearly who is working for the welfare of the people, it seems that the hearts of the hundred officials are to the prince and the hearts of the people belong to the king! Hehe! After Yang Er read the letter, he put it on the desk, picked up the teacup and said to Li Taizhi with a smile.

"Lord, only the matter of opening the canal has heard that it has won the hearts of the people in the capital, and there are many idle laborers in the city who only bring tools to the site of the canal to work, earn monthly money, and relieve the pain of green and yellow after spring planting. Originally, 200,000 people were ready to use the canal, but now I am afraid that there are more than 400,000, so the speed of opening the canal is so fast, and there will be three months, and the canal will be opened! Li Taizhi saw that Yang Er's mood was improving, so he added.

"The king is not worried about the opening of the canal. However, the court is now about to become the prince's hall, and his father is old and lacks energy, so it is inevitable that he will not be deceived by Yang Su and others. This matter is extremely unfavorable to this king! Yang Er still told this subordinate henchman about the worries in his heart.

"My lord, now all the veterans in the court are not optimistic about the prince, and there are many of them who praise the prince, and the princelings dare not be disrespectful to the princes, so if the lord takes the initiative to win them over. If there are 3 or 5 princes above the court who speak for the lord, then Yang Su has to be three points shorter. Li Taizhi suggested to Yang Er softly, especially the backer king Yang Lin is a strong supporter of the lord, and even with that group of veterans, he agrees with his lord, which is a powerful resource that can be used.

Yang Er listened to this suggestion suddenly, and suddenly felt something in his heart, as if a dark cloud had been opened over the hazy capital. Yang Er got up and walked back and forth in the room thinking about Li Taizhi's proposal, nodded incessantly, and said: "Lord Li is right, Wu Jianzhang, He Ruobi and Han Baohu, the three veterans of the country, are on the side of this king, plus the backer of Tongguan, the imperial uncle, also helps the king, Qiu Rui and Yu Juluo, who are the righteous brothers of the imperial uncle, will definitely stand on the side of this king." This force princelings can't pry even if they want to, and it's enough to resist the princelings in the DPRK and China. But how do you take advantage of it? After Yang Er said this to himself, he fell into thought again and walked back and forth in the room.

"Lord, there is still a major event about to happen in the capital, this dynasty has gathered no less than 3,000 literati scholars and nearly 500 martial arts students in China. When the person who delivered the book came, he brought a message from the Taifu, saying that many scholars had gone to the high-ranking officials in Beijing to worship in order to ask for care. This is not good for the lord in the long run. Seeing that Yang Er was just walking back and forth and no longer speaking, Li Taizhi spoke up again.

"Oh? The king had almost forgotten about it, and it seemed that there were still ten days left before the opening of the course. The chief examiner this time is Prime Minister Gao Xi, this person has a good character, is upright, and is a peace of mind to select materials for the country, and it is expected that even if Yang Su accepts more people, it will be useless. I just never thought that this first opening of the department would attract thousands of candidates to Beijing? But this time it is an attempt to open a department, but 100 of the best of them will be selected, and there will only be 50 places in the martial arts election. This ---" Yang Er remembered the civil service examination in later generations, which was also like this admission, and the acceptance rate was extremely low, but the enthusiasm for applying for the exam did not return every year.

"The lord is right, the number of new civil and military officials included in the imperial court this time is too small. It is said that among the people who rushed to take the exam, there were many people who traveled long distances in remote places such as Liaodong and the South China Sea, and the road alone had to be delayed for nearly 3 months. I don't know how many students have run out of money in their bags and need to beg to return to their hometowns! How pitiful! Li Taizhi is also a literati who has read poetry and books, and he is very clear about the mood of the students, and the vast majority of students who fail the exam will have to embark on the journey back to their hometowns after ten days, waiting for the next year's re-examination, which is the only way to get ahead.

Li Taizhi was infinitely sad at this time, but Yang Er had a very bold idea in his heart at this time, and a whole set of ideas was gradually becoming clear in his mind.

"Lord Li, if this king is in the imperial court after the scientific examination, and then in the name of this king in Luzhou Mansion in Hedong, let all the students take the exam again in Hedong, and the superior will be elected to my Hedong as an official, what do you think?"

"Huh? The intention of the lord is to let the imperial court choose a round first, and after selecting a hundred students, he will give these thousands of students a chance to take the exam, and select the outstanding ones to fill all parts of my Hedong as officials? Li Taizhi was taken aback after listening to Yang Er's words, this is something he doesn't dare to think about no matter what, if this matter is investigated deeply, it will have a bit of an independent rebellion for the country.

"Yes, my father can't choose all the talents, and the rest will be chosen by this king. This king now has Hedong, Changzhi, Jizhou, and many new cities that lack officials to manage, by the way, Laizhou here is also very short of manpower, not to mention Jianghuai, Langya and other places that have been in the hands of this king, even the cities in the Hexi Corridor also lack officials who can endure hardships, and the Tuyuhun Department in Du Chong also needs a large number of Han officials to manage. Hehe! Isn't this the best opportunity to recruit the world's talents to this king's door? And the generals? The king's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a shortage of generals, so he can take advantage of this opportunity to admit hundreds of low-level officers into our Jin army. Hehe! Providence helps me! The more Yang Er thought about it, the more happy he felt, then Yang Su and other princelings collected apprenticeship fees, but the things given to these students were all false, and this king really took out his official position and waited for these people to serve.

"My lord, my lord's ideas are so wild that he can turn bad things into good things in an instant. Xia Guan is here to thank the lord for the students of the world. After that, he got up and gave Yang Ershen a salute, his eyes full of tears and excitement.

"Lord Li, please come back for the time being, after King Rong Ben thinks about it in detail, I will discuss it with you tomorrow, and you will also go back and think more about how this matter should be carried out, and this matter should not be kept secret." Yang Er was in a high mood now, and he couldn't calm down and think, so he had to let Li Taizhi go back first, and he also wanted to calm down and think carefully about this big thing. Think about the virtuous and virtuous people in the world being wiped out by yourself, just like winning the lottery jackpot.

After dinner, Yang Er returned to the room. Abeiyi lit all the candles, Yang Er thought about it, and what was in front of him was a complete map of the territory of the Great Sui, and now the area north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River was all under his control, and most of Shandong and most of the Jianghuai could also be counted as his own territory. There is also the Hexi Corridor area, as well as the entire territory of the former Tuyuhun, which can basically be counted as its own territory. Looking at the large territory that he has mastered, basically half of the territory of the Great Sui is already his own. Talents, need a large number of management talents! I didn't expect that today's scientific research can make me the biggest beneficiary.

"Brother Shi, you are in a trance at the dinner table today, and now you are in a daze, why?" Izuchen had already noticed Yang Er's strange behavior, and couldn't help but ask softly on the side.

"Huh! Sister Dust, you don't know! A big pie is about to fall in the sky, and my brother is now thinking about how to pick it up steadily, and it is really difficult to say it without telling the truth. Yang Er didn't look up, just replied silently. It's been two hours, and I didn't even pay attention to what I had for dinner, I was thinking about the thousands of students who were about to fall off the list, you must know that these students are adults, and a little training can come in handy.

"Little sister can't help you, brother Shi should think about it here!" It's a good thing, then there's nothing to worry about, Izumi thought.

"Oh, by the way, today I met an uncle on the street who came here, he said that my ancestor Uncle Yuan Tiangang who practiced Longguan was going to open a dojo in Chang'an, and all the Taoist learners who heard the news wanted to go to the dojo of Uncle Shi to learn Taoism and listen to his uncle's sermons every day. If she goes back to Chang'an, Xiaomei also wants to go to Uncle Yuan's dojo for a few days. ”

"What's so hard about that! After Brother Wei returned to Luzhou, Hedong, you will be given a month's vacation, and you and Zhong Jian can go to the capital to study Taoism together. As soon as Yang Er heard that it was such a trivial matter, he readily agreed.

Suddenly, an idea jumped through my mind. "Dojo?" Yuan Tiangang has enough weight, and there are people who will open his own dojo, and it will even become the center of Taoism in the Great Sui. Why don't I start a "dojo"? No! To be precise, a military academy and a university for the study of learning? Let all the martial arts heroes who fall off the list enter the military academy in Luzhou, no, the name of the military school is difficult to understand, it is better to call it "Luzhou Lecture Martial Arts Hall". That's right! It is called "Luzhou Lecture Martial Arts Hall", so that these martial men who want to serve in the army and have a wife and shadow all enter the lecture hall to learn many military knowledge such as marching, arranging, besieging cities, and defending the ground. What about literati students? It is to open a college for them in the fields of governance, taxation, and commerce, so that they can learn some basic knowledge of political management. All right! In fact, it is to brainwash these students who are determined to become scholars, mainly to strengthen a sense of belonging to Hedong, a sense of obedience to the king and a sense of worship from the heart. Hehe! Let's call it Luzhou Academy!

After thinking of this layer, Yang Er's eyes suddenly brightened. Immediately picked up the pen and wrote down his thoughts.

After figuring out one layer, one layer at a time. Unknowingly, Yang Er wrote two long letters, one to Yu Wenshu in the capital and one to Pei Shiju in Luzhou. The contents of the letter cover a wide range of areas, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to explain them all, so it seems that the only way to do this tomorrow is to explain his thoughts thoroughly to Li Taizhi, and then send him to Luzhou and Chang'an urgently, and explain the contents of the letter to Pei Shiju and Yu Wenshu in person.

Lying on the bed, Yang Er did not fall asleep immediately, but constantly improved what he wanted to do in his mind, and thought through some details so that he could explain it in detail to Li Taizhi after dawn. Of course, it would be best if I could go back to Chang'an and Luzhou in person, but now is not the time to go back, and what Donglai County has to do is also very important! Maybe it was because he used his brain too much, and before he knew it, Yang Er fell asleep in a daze, and slept until dawn, and he didn't wake up until Abeyi came in to call him.

"Master, Master Wang Bo is already waiting in the living room, and he seems to have something urgent to say." Abeyi didn't want to wake Yang Er, but he really couldn't bear to see Wang Bo walking back and forth in the living room.

After washing up, Yang Er appeared in the living room. Abeyi also brought the breakfast pastries to the living room table and asked Yang Er to meet Wang Bo while eating.

"Lord Wang, did you come to see this king so early for yesterday's sake?" Yang Er asked casually while eating a piece of hot cake.

"Qi Yu Chitose, I told my sister when I returned to the house yesterday, and my sister is also willing, but ---" Wang Bo spoke in a vague way.

"Oh? But what? Could it be that this king is not the crown prince of the dynasty? Yang Er heard Wang Bo say the word "but", asked reflexively, and stopped eating the meatloaf in his hand, and threw it on the plate. His face was gloomy, and he felt as if the neglect and humiliation he had received in Luoyang would be repeated.
