Chapter 484 The Importance of Gewu
Qin Huaidao rode a horse and led his soldiers to quickly cross the bridge, the war horse was sprinting on the bridge, the horse's hooves were stepping on the bridge, and Li Shimin and they were standing at the head of the bridge and watching.
"Hey, Your Majesty, look at this boulder!" At this moment, Cheng Yanjin saw a boulder on this side of the bridge, and the words were engraved on the boulder, which read,
The Weishui River Bridge was built by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty to facilitate the people to walk together and benefit the world! The sixteenth year of Zhenguan.
"This kid, why are you carving these too?" Li Shimin said blaming words in his mouth, but the smile on his face betrayed him, and he was quite happy in his heart.
Who doesn't want their reputation to be able to spread outside, even if they are emperors, they also need a good reputation, this bridge has been repaired, it can pass for hundreds of years, then for hundreds of years, there are people who can remember their names.
"Your Majesty, they're back, there's no problem, I know it's going to work!" Cheng Yanjin said to Li Shimin very happily.
"Then what else can be the problem, Pepin said it can work, then it will definitely work! Let's go, we'll go too! Li Shimin said happily, and soon, Qin Huaidao came over.
"Father, no problem!" Qin Huaidao rode in front of Li Shimin, dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted.
"Of course there is no problem, but my father is still a little dissatisfied, it's this stone, why don't you engrave your name, this name was built by you, without you, this bridge can't be passed, this must also be recorded!" Li Shimin pointed to the boulder in the distance and said to Qin Huaidao.
"That, I'm the one who cultivates, whoever comes can do it!" Qin Huaidao immediately waved his hand and said.
"But what a joke, who can do it? Who can fix it, you ask them who can fix it? When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately pointed at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"This, Erchen still forget it, in the future, there will definitely be a lot of people who can repair, I can't say that I will engrave my name when I build a bridge, Erchen is also working for my father, and the money is taken out by your father!" Qin Huaidao immediately waved his hand at Li Shimin and said.
"Well, your name is still engraved in it, Gao Ming!" Li Shimin shouted to the prince as he spoke, and the prince immediately came over and shouted.
"I'll leave this matter to you, Pepin is embarrassed to add his own name, you add it in the past two days!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
"Yes!" Li Chengqian immediately arched his hand and said.
"Okay, let's go. Look at the bridge to go! Li Shimin said to the ministers, then rode to the top of the bridge, dismounted, walked to the railing in the middle of the bridge, and watched the dismount.
"This bridge is not short, it is so high!" Li Shimin looked at the dismount and said with emotion.
"Back to my father, the height of the bridge deck from the water surface of the dismount is 18 battles!" Where Qin Huaidao stood and said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, good, eighteen battles, it's really good, Pepin, can other rivers repair such a bridge?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Yes, you can cultivate, but, father, don't you want me to fix it, then, that's far away, father, no one will do it now, the son wants to teach his disciples, but he can't,
Because they don't know Gewu, Erchen wants to recruit a Gewu class at the university, but no one goes, hey, now the entire Tang Dynasty reads the Four Books and Five Classics, and no one wants to understand Gewu.
In fact, this is not right, the Four Books and Five Classics are self-cultivation, and Gewu can bring huge benefits to Datang, and there are many specific examples, not to mention others, that is, those workshops of Datang,
Now, after I sorted it out, it can bring millions of dollars of income every year, and at the same time, it also allows tens of thousands of people to have new job opportunities, and they also have a lot of income.
At the same time, those workshops also need a large number of bookkeepers, these are all things that need to be specially cultivated, but now everyone is staring at the imperial examination, and Erchen doesn't know if it's right, but Erchen thinks that Gewu also needs to be cultivated! Qin Huaidao reported to Li Shimin.
"Well, what you said, my father also discovered this, in this way, Peping, you think about it during this time, write a piece of music, and I will also ask the Ministry of Rites to reformulate the imperial examination selection system, not to mention anything else, in the future, the officials of the Ministry of Industry will try to transcribe all the talents of Gewu!" Li Shimin stood there and said to them,
"Thank you, Father!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin again.
"Father wants to thank you, not you thank your father, you are dedicated to the court, for the Tang Dynasty, my father is very pleased!" Li Shimin patted Qin Huaidao's shoulder and said.
Then Li Shimin went to see the bridge, most of those ministers were actually dumbfounded, none of them thought that the bridge could be repaired like this, and it could be built so well, so high, so big?
"Tut-tut. Such a bridge, the only one in Datang, quietly, can you people build it well? It still depends on our generals! Cheng Yanjin touched the railing of the bridge very proudly and said.
Those civil officials all rolled their eyes at Cheng Yanjin.
"Am I wrong? Peping is the son of our military generals, what can you civil officials do? You can't do anything but drag your feet,
In terms of making money, you can't make Pepin, in terms of doing things, you can't do Peping, you still get so much money in a year, it's still a trivial matter to get money, and impeach Pepin, what are you impeaching, come, build a bridge and try, come and repair it? Cheng Yanjin continued to scare those civil officials and said,
Qin Huaidao heard that he was embarrassed there, and he came to make enemies for himself if he had nothing to do, but there was no way, everyone knew that Cheng Yanjin was like this.
"Yes, it's really good, such a bridge is really good, Peping, such a bridge needs to be promoted well, cultivate talents in Gewu, and make my Datang River a thoroughfare, it must be repaired!" Li Shimin looked at the bridge and said very happily.
"Well, Peping's talent, the minister really admires!" The eldest grandson Wuji also stood there, saying admiringly, although he and Qin Huaidao were not dealing with each other, but he admired Qin Huaidao's ability, otherwise, he would not have come to be a lobbyist, hoping that Qin Huaidao could support Li Chengqian.
"Well, I also admire this!" Wu Wang Li Ke also nodded and said, such a skill, no matter who is the emperor, he will not say that he wants to deal with him, Qin Huaidao can bring huge benefits to the court.
"His Royal Highness King Wu has won the award, and the minister just likes this, and the rest is really not good at it." Qin Huaidao immediately said to King Wu.
"Well, Ke'er, you need to ask Pepin more questions in the future, but there is nothing Peping doesn't know, ask more!" Li Shimin nodded and said to King Wu with a smile.
"By the way, Pepin, have you been free for the past two days, let's go have a meal together!" Li Chengqian asked Qin Huaidao.
"Success, however, we need to call everyone together!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded, and Li Chengqian said publicly that Qin Huaidao would definitely have to give some face.
"Okay, when the time comes, call everyone together, it's the New Year, Lone also needs to thank you, this year, you have done a lot of things for the court, your father invited you to eat in the Ganlu Palace, Lone invited you to eat in the Qinfu Restaurant, this time there is no need for a discount!" Li Chengqian smiled and began to explain why he invited Qin Huaidao to dinner, his meaning was very simple, that is, on behalf of the court, thank Qin Huaidao.
"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness! Qin Huaidao replied with his hand.
"Okay, let's go, today I invite everyone to go to Qinfu Restaurant, Peping, send someone back to inform you, today, Qinfu Restaurant, I have a package!" Li Shimin also said very generously, happy today, the bridge is open, and the stone is also engraved.
"By the way, Pepin, when will this bridge be able to pass through the people?" Li Shimin thought of this, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"You can pass now, and when we go back, I will order the people on both sides to let the people go!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, okay, that's good, let the people speed up the passage!" Li Shimin nodded, very happy, and soon, Qin Huaidao and they began to rush back,
Along the way, Xiao Yu didn't say a word, this time Qin Huaidao slapped him in the face,
Although Qin Huaidao hadn't said anything to him directly, he was a little afraid of Qin Huaidao now, and he didn't know how Qin Huaidao would retaliate directly at that time.
"Song Guogong, when you eat at noon, give Hu Guogong a toast and talk about the matter, it's okay!" Wu Wang Li Ke said to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu heard it, nodded, didn't speak, and really didn't know how to apologize later, King Wu was very worried at the moment, worried that Qin Huaidao would have a bigger estrangement with himself because of this matter,
Now he originally wanted to get Qin Huaidao's support, if Qin Huaidao didn't support him, then Cheng Zhihei wouldn't dare.
After buying a house outside from Cheng Zhisi last time, Cheng Zhihei and they are not very close to him, he has something to summon them, although they did not explicitly refuse, but it is completely different from before, he knows very well in his heart that this must be Qin Huaidao's matter,
Although Qin Huaidao did not explicitly oppose himself, as long as he did not support himself, they would not dare to support him!
"Your Highness, in this matter, you still need to turn around from the middle a little more, otherwise, Hu Guogong will oppose you, then this matter will be very troublesome!" Du Wei walked to Li Ke's side and whispered, Xiao Yu's opposition this time would definitely make Qin Huaidao disgusted.
"I know, I will!" Li Ke nodded,
And King Wei is a lot more honest now, and now his strength is now divided a lot by Li Ke, compared with before, it is far worse, and he really misses when Li Zhi was still there.
When Li Zhi was there, except for the military generals who did not support him, most of the civil officials supported him.
And now, those civil officials have basically been separated by Li Ke and Li Chengqian, and now, he is indeed much more honest, and he no longer dares to continue to talk more.
