The steam train in trial operation is still very rough and has not yet reached the real use, but it is already a leap forward to be able to use the steam head to drive the carriage to move, and it will not be too far from being put into use.

After Li Tai explained in detail the operation mode of the steam train, the forward momentum, and the various advantages of the epoch-making, all the Zaisuke were almost excited to climax.

Wu Yuanqing slandered, Li Tai is not a thing, he likes to do experiments on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a few years ago, when he was engaged in hot air balloon flying, it was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he also got Wu Yuanqing out of the prison as a guest to watch the ceremony.

But Li Shimin felt that his son was caring, and it was really sensible to give himself such a surprise gift on such a good day as Yuanri.

So the next day, the emperor rushed to Li Tai's palace in Yankangfang for rent free, rewarded the people, and amnesty the prisoners below the beheading of Chang'an City in Yongzhou.

The emperor was given because of these rewards, but the courtiers who did not know the truth were also speechless.

But I don't blame them, it's really the emperor's kindness to Li Tai is too much. In the entire Chang'an, the prince who is more than seven years old, except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai is the only one left.

And Li Tai can stay in the palace all year round, and the dormitory in the palace when Li Tai was an adult is still reserved for Li Tai.

And Li Tai's prince's mansion is divided into Yankangfang, and who is the former owner of this prince's mansion, it is the mansion of Yang Su, the powerful minister of the former Sui, this is nothing, the key is the area of this house, the huge Yankangfang This house accounts for a quarter, and there are more than 4,000 houses.

And Yan Liben, the servant of the criminal department who lives in Yankangfang, is the great painter who painted the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and the house where he lives is compared with Li Tai's prince's mansion, that is, the difference between ants and elephants, three generations of poor peasants and billionaires, is very different.

The treatment is so good, the emperor is not enough, and he has to personally be lucky, and he has to reward the poor neighbors around the palace, and the ministers are cranky, and it is not surprising that the wind direction has changed.

Just as the ministers were clamoring to stand in line, Li Tai once again rushed back to the studio to continue his great work of invention.

The chosen master was not enthusiastic about himself, so that those ministers who wanted to support Li Tai to make a dragon merit were like frosted eggplants in an instant, and they really flattered the blind man.

Time blink of an eye into February, and when it was almost time to take the exam, Li Shimin came to Guozijian. Guozijian is still the best government-run school in the country, but compared with the martial arts school of the samurai, also called Qujiang Academy, the probability of Guozijian supervising students passing the imperial examination is far inferior.

There's no way.,The martial arts school is a professional school.,The main direction is to count.,The students are basically all in the Ming arithmetic department.,It's the Ministry of Engineering.,The household department.,Will be supervised and other departments.

The arithmetic martial arts school can be called the top, the most profound, and the most powerful teacher in the entire Tang Dynasty.

And Guozijian is different, there are many kinds of subjects in it that the inmates apply for, in addition to the ones who do not report the arithmetic subject, other subjects such as the Ming Law, the Ming Scripture, the Jinshi and other imperial examinations have been reported.

There are many types of students, and the needs of teachers for different subjects are different, so there is a need for a large number of high-quality teachers in various subjects.

However, many academies and schools have been established all over the country, some are government-run and some are private, and teachers are required regardless of whether they are official or private.

There are not enough local teachers, how can there be too many people who enter the Guozijian, if they can be officials, it will be counted, but the teachers of the Guozijian are now teachers, but they don't have official titles.

Because the local government gives a lot of money, many Confucians, celebrities and scholars have stayed in the place, so that the local academy, the students taught by the school and the students of the Guozijian have formed a great competition, the result is that the strength of the people is great, although the students from the local academy are uneven, but the number of people is large, every time the scientific examination, although the number of local candidates who fall off the list is huge, but the number of people on the list is also quite a lot, after all, the number of people selected in each imperial examination is limited, and there are more local students on the list, and naturally there are fewer people on the list of Guozijian.

Kong Yingda felt that the imperial examination rate was lost to a school like the Martial Arts School that specializes in arithmetic, after all, people specialize in one, but the number of admissions is sometimes not as good as some local state capitals, which makes Kong Yingda feel ashamed.

often complained openly and secretly in front of the emperor, hoping that the emperor could use administrative means to recruit some teachers for the country, otherwise it would be not only his face of sacrificial wine, but also the face of the emperor.

Then Li Shimin was fortunate to visit Guozijian a month before this year's examination, watched the release ceremony, ordered Guozijian to sacrifice wine Kong Yingda to explain the "Book of Filial Piety", rewarded the sacrificial wine below until the number of outstanding students of the silk silk, and again ordered the prison to Guozijian to expand 1,200 schools, and a large number of famous Confucian scholars from all over the country were recruited as scholars.

Finally, as Kong Yingda wished, he used administrative power to add bricks and tiles to the Guozijian, and when Kong Yingda explained the Book of Filial Piety, his mouth couldn't close together, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

Just when Chang'an was particularly lively because of the talent ceremony, and even the business of the Goolan Teaching Workshop was a few percent better, Hou Junji with an army of 200,000 was marching along the repaired cement road towards Yumen Pass and towards Gaochangguo.

It has been more than three months since the troops were dispatched from December last year to March, and they have just walked to the place close to Yumen Pass.

Although the road is very easy to walk, after all, there are only tens of thousands of cavalry, and the rest are all foot soldiers, carrying weapons of ten pounds of weapons, walking against the cold, and walking for thirty or forty miles a day is quite good.

This is also why Li Shimin was so ecstatic when he saw that the steam train could really run, because manpower is sometimes poor, and people can walk dozens of miles a day, but the train can't go slower than people, and it can go day and night, so no matter how slow it is, it can go out hundreds of miles a day, it would have taken three months to march, but with the train, maybe it would take more than ten days, or even faster.

Speaking of returning to Hou Junji's army of more than 200,000 people. Li Shimin really mobilized the people, and the population of Gaochang was only more than 30,000 people, but Li Shimin actually sent more than 200,000 troops, and he didn't need to fight, and he could drown the Gaochang people just by flooding the sea.

With such a large army, the destruction of Gaochang is more about preaching force and shocking the Western Turks.

Whether it is the Lisu Khan or the current Yibi Shabo Luo Yehu Khan and the Yibi Lu Khan of the Desire Valley, as long as it is the Western Turks, it is the object of the Tang Dynasty.

After basically pacifying the border troubles in the north and southwest, Li Shimin was already very impatient with the frequent movements of the Turks in the Western Regions.
