Chapter 373: One Letter, Two Things

"This is Your Majesty's attention to you, and you should be more concerned about this matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Wang instructed.

Now that the spring festival is about to start the exam, it has become the most eye-catching thing in Chang'an, such a major event, whether it is the folk or the official family, will be talked about after tea and dinner, these days the Wang family will occasionally sit with Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Qin, and the most talked about is this spring.

Especially Xuan Shijing also got His Majesty's will to be responsible for the inspection of the Chunqiu infield, this errand made many people envious.

Although the children of the big family of Chang'an City only need to find a way and find someone to recommend, the official position will be at their fingertips, but the current situation is not as good as in the past, in addition to the older generation of officials holding important positions, if there is a vacancy, the candidate for this son must be out of the will of His Majesty Li Er, that is to say, the person who can make His Majesty Li Er fancy through the spring is in Chang'an, or the local government for a few years, with qualifications, once he returns to Chang'an, he will enter the power center of the Tang Dynasty. It's no longer an unattainable thing.

To put it bluntly, now that the court employs people, background is no longer as important as usual, the important thing is talent, and it is seniority.

Take Xuan Shijing as an example, his background is one thing, but the previous background of Xuan Shijing, His Majesty Li Er just gave a not very serious Hou Ye title, Xuan Shijing returned to Chang'an from Longxi, and only showed Xuan Shijing's ability when Longxi and Cheng Chumo dealt with the 20,000 army of Tubo together, and only then did he get rid of the title that was not very serious, and became the Marquis of Dongshan.

This is the so-called origin is one thing, and ability is another, not only in the court of the Tang Dynasty, but even those subordinate officials of Li Chengqian's East Palace, if they only have a good background and have no political ability, they will not be reused in the East Palace, such as Wang Jingzhi before.

Xuan Shijing sat opposite Wang, listened to Wang's words, and nodded.

"Mother, don't worry, the venue of this year's Spring Festival is in the Guozijian, and there will be nothing wrong, not to mention that there is still His Royal Highness King Wu leading five hundred Xuanjia troops to garrison outside the Guozijian, and the Jinyi Guard is in the infield, but it is just a formality, otherwise, Your Majesty will not release the people of the Shenhou Mansion on the last day of the Spring Festival and hold a marriage for Gao Jun."

"Even so, don't be careless, the situation in Chang'an City has always been complicated, since you took over Your Majesty's will, there have been more people who have come to visit our house these days, and fortunately, you don't live in the house, otherwise whether you see it or not, it is a dilemma, and you offend people in vain, and it is not a way for you to hide in the Shenhou Mansion or Xuanwu Mansion like this." Wang said with a sigh.

"Mother, people who want to take this path are not stupid, even if they can't find anyone, a letter is sent, the son still has to deal with these things, the son has replied to them a few days ago, and some things are mentioned in the letter, if these people are smart and can come up with His Majesty's mind, this road, they give up, if they are obsessed, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will not need to do it with my son, and Your Majesty will not sit idly by." Xuan Shijing explained.

The Jinshi elected by the Spring Festival this time is to go to the temple to accept the palace examination of His Majesty Li Er, which is also a move to create a precedent for the imperial examination system, His Majesty Li Er naturally attaches great importance to it, and whoever dares to destroy it will be greeted by His Majesty Li Er's extremely sharp dragon claws.

"Well, Jing'er seems to have her own ideas, my mother won't say anything, Jing'er is now grown up, whether it is a loss, or a blessing, you must experience it in this life, the future road, your mother can only stand behind you to support you, as for the ahead, you still need Jing'er to move forward by yourself." Wang said earnestly.

"Yes, my son knows, mother, you are my son's strongest backing."

Xuan Shijing's mother and son sat in the room chatting, and Xiao Ji outside took a letter in his hand, walked to the door of the room, and said to the inside of the room.

"Master Hou, madam, the money shopkeeper of Xuanwu Mansion sent a letter, saying that he wanted to hand it over to Master Hou in person."

"A letter from the money pile?" A trace of doubt flashed in Wang's eyes, and then he said to Xuan Shijing: "Since the money pile has something to do with Jing'er, Jing'er should hurry up and deal with the business." ā€

"Well, mother, the son will go first." Xuan Shijing got up and said.

Just returned to the Hou Mansion and was about to leave for a while, Xuan Shijing was also a little uncomfortable, he was busy outside all day long, and finally went home, but the things outside still found his home, but he had to deal with it.

Seeing Xuan Shijing come out, Xiao Ji handed over the letter in his hand to Xuan Shijing,

After Xuan Shijing took the letter, he opened the envelope and took out the stationery, and carefully browsed it.

This is a handwritten letter from Qiandui, in which he explained that Gao Yuan has arrived in Chang'an and is now in the Xuanwu Building, followed by a place hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, he found the coal mine that Xuan Shijing said before, and now he has begun to negotiate with the local government to take the place where the mine is located.

The matter of the coal mine is very important to Xuan Shijing, naturally it is not sloppy, the cement kiln at the foot of the Qinling Mountains is still waiting for the coal mine to be transported over, there is no cement, the money invested in the entire Daozheng Fang will be wasted, this is a big blow to the Hou Mansion, at least Chang'an, in a short period of time in the money, it is impossible to turn over, because as soon as the spring begins, Xuan Shijing arranged for the money pile to start dealing with the Daozheng Fang early, and all the surplus money in his hand was invested in the Daozheng Fang.

For money, Xuan Shijing doesn't look at it very much, his own thoughts, you can earn it at any time when you have no money, but here in Dao Zhengfang, if you want to do it, you have to do it beautifully, and if you want to do it beautifully, you must have a large amount of investment.

The more you invest in the early stage, the bigger and sweeter the fruits of victory will be when the harvest comes, and the more money you have, the easier it will be to do other things.

Now Chang'an, every inch of land is valuable, more and more Fanbang people are flocking to Chang'an, Xuan Shijing knows that Chang'an at this time can be said to be the political and cultural center of the whole Asia.

Do a real estate project in such a city, as long as the brain is not sick, will make a lot of money, if this Daozheng Fang did not start in the early years, until now, the Hou Mansion can't even eat half of the Daozheng Fang.

Now the Daozheng Workshop can be said to have everything ready, only the cement is owed.
