Accidentally, Li Yuanjing made a big news, but immediately after, this big news became a big joke.

In King Zhao's mansion, Li Yuanjing looked at the queue outside with a pale face.

"Your Highness, in fact, the current situation is normal!" Li Yuanjing's newly replaced guard, Liu Hu, stood aside and reminded in a low voice.

"Tell me about it!" On the young face, he couldn't hide Li Yuanjing's anger.

"Skilled craftsmen are either in the palace or in the hands of the family, and there are not many people who have the ability!" Liu Hu said.

He underestimated the abilities of some people, and also overestimated his identity as King Zhao.

The family is indeed an insurmountable hurdle, and even Li Shimin has to bow his head.

The first thing he did after ascending to the throne was to appease the family and promise benefits to ensure the stability of the court, and last year, the Zheng family helped Zheng Shanguo stay in Qizhou with the help of natural disasters.

Jiangnan is richer than Qizhou, Li Shimin obviously promoted Zheng Shanguo, but in fact he wanted to use the long distance to kill him, but this plan ultimately failed.

The incident that Li Yuanjing made was not worth mentioning at all, at most it was just a bite from a little ant.

"Tell the king about the family!" Li Yuanjing gently rubbed his temples, and the huge family gave him a little headache.

Although their Li family is also a family, this family is completely different from the outside family, if there is no halo of the royal family, Er Li is still far away from the family.

"No!" Liu Hu responded, and immediately spoke: "The influence of the family is in all directions, everything that can be seen by the eyes has the shadow of the family, if His Royal Highness wants craftsmen, he can only pull people out of the palace, it is not realistic to want to poach people from the hands of the family, and they will not allow His Highness to poach people from their hands......"

What Liu Hu said was not detailed, just a general situation.

However, after listening to these words, Li Yuanjing also understood why all dynasties and dynasties had the purpose of weakening the family.

The power of the family is really too huge, if the royal family can't satisfy them, with only the resources in their hands, I'm afraid that half of the Tang Dynasty will be independent.

Of course, independence is not the best option, and not everyone has the courage to rebel.

But the family's right to speak has never been weakened for thousands of years, and the imperial examination system is actually a means to weaken the family.

If one family falls, another family will stand up, and that is only a symptom but not a cure.

However, if the imperial examination system wants to eliminate the family, it will take too long, and it cannot completely eliminate it.

"What the family is best at is merging, devouring, and strengthening itself, and the three-year disaster has suffered tens of millions of people, but the big and small families are fatter than the other!" Liu Hu continued.

"Let this king think about it!" Li Yuanjing rubbed his head with a headache.

This time it really hurts, he doesn't want to ask for someone in the palace, mainly because he doesn't want to give Li Shimin another chance to perform, he feels that this person is too hypocritical.

But except for Li Shimin, the outside world is tightly controlled by the family, and there is no loophole at all.

However, the craftsmen of this era are still all tendons.

The craftsmanship in the hand is passed on to men but not to women, and relatives are not passed on to righteousness.

What kind of apprentices, apprentices, grandchildren, etc., don't even think about it, people won't accept it at all.

Although the status of the craftsman is humble, he can at least rely on this craft to support his family, and even in disaster years and wars, they will have a bite to eat.

Who would want to pass on the craft of feeding their children and grandchildren to outsiders?

It is precisely for this reason that many ancient crafts in China have gradually been lost, some because of extinction, and some because of the backwardness of technology.

In Li Yuanjing's view, this model is fundamentally more harmful than good, it is true that he has technical talents in his hands, but all technologies need to be communicated, and they are all hidden, and they can only think about what they think, can their technical strength improve by leaps and bounds?

On the one hand, the family used land annexation to control the people, and on the other hand, it used agricultural tools and other tools to restrict the people.

The imperial court can be said to be too busy to take care of itself, and it simply does not have the energy to devote itself to these.

The land is not good, but you can start from the tool aspect, there are more ants and you can also tear down the city wall, if you can't use it for ten years, if you don't use it for ten years, you can use it for a lifetime, anyway, it doesn't have much impact on you whether you succeed or not.

With the aura of King Zhao on his body, he will not worry about eating and drinking in this life, and he can live a very nourishing life.

……

"Want to make money?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I want to shake my head with a hesitant face.

The painful lesson of half a year ago is still in their hearts, except for Cheng Chumo, who has no heart and lungs, others actually don't run to Li Yuanjing much.

After all, it is uncomfortable for anyone to be pitted, and the elders in the family are fanning the flames, so it is not surprising that there is this result.

"Will it be grounded?" Cheng Chuliang thought about it and asked tentatively, he was not afraid of pitting people, he was afraid of being grounded, which meant that he would be hung up and smoked every three days.

"Not only will you not be grounded, but if you're lucky, you might be knighted!" Li Yuanjing said with a smile.

"Don't do it...... I don't believe a word of what you say! Hearing this reply, Cheng Chuliang immediately shook his head and rejected this friendly offer.

"When did this king deceive someone?" Li Yuanjing was stunned, is this guy stupid? As the second child of 10,000 years, he can't take his turn to do any good things in the family, but now he has this opportunity, but don't you?

"Last time, His Highness said that he would give me ten beauties!" Cheng Chuliang said with a grudge on his face.

"Didn't this king send it? If it doesn't get dark, I will send people to your house, has this king broken his promise? Li Yuanjing was a little weak-hearted.

Ten women are indeed sent, but the beauties are actually not talked about, the posture of the main palace maids is actually similar, at least they belong to the type that can be seen, otherwise it is impossible to let them enter the palace to disgust the emperor, what if the emperor is scared?

Li Shimin's current policy is to clean up redundant officials, and the plan is to let the remaining officials do the work of two or more people, so that the finances of the imperial court can be easier.

Another policy was to send some of the palace maids out, and some old eunuchs were also sent back to their hometowns.

The official said that the palace maid was not easy to handle, and the repatriation had to be paid, and Li Shimin was unwilling to pay this money, so he simply gave it to the ministers, anyway, the person gave it to you, whether it was repatriated or kept for his own use had nothing to do with the royal family, and this money naturally could not be paid by Li Shimin.

Because of this matter, the ministers have to walk around when they see Li Shimin recently, who dares to go up and say hello with a cheeky face, Li Shimin is allowed to send you dozens of hundreds of palace maids to take home to play.

Cheng Zhijie has been sent by Li Shimin to dozens of palace maids, and he is worried that there is no place to place him.

As a result, I didn't expect Li Yuanjing to send ten more palace maids over, if they were young and good-looking, it would be fine, but these ten ......

Hehe, the youngest one is also thirty years old, and the oldest is even in his forties, the fate of these people is to live with the eunuchs, or go out of the palace to marry an older unmarried man with a bad reputation, or have a hidden disease, anyway, a good radish is not their turn.

As a result, such a group of elderly palace maids who were difficult to shoot were directly sent to Cheng Zhijie's mansion, and the angry Cheng Zhijie whipped Cheng Zhijie with a leather whip for ten days, almost sucking out the breath of this goods.
