In Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng was listening to Zhang Jiling's recital:

"Your Majesty! According to the minister's observation of Xie Yingdeng in the Sanqing Temple, he found that Xie Yingdeng had begun to waver since he returned to Sanqingguan from Chang'an, and as far as the grass people knew, the Lingtai Taoist and the Sanqingguan presiding monk around Xie Yingdeng were also secretly making efforts, hoping that Xie Yingdeng would return to the vulgar! In the service of His Majesty. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh! Is it? Li Jiancheng smiled and secretly said to Zhang Jiling in his heart: Zhang Aiqing! I already knew about this matter, and I not only knew that the Lingtai Dao Leader and the Sanqingguan Presiding Cultivator around Xie Yingdeng were also secretly working hard, hoping that Xie Yingdeng would return to the vulgar! Even the Taoist master Li Tang, the master of the Tang Dynasty, and the Taoist Qihui who practiced in retreat, secretly exerted his strength.

"Your Majesty! It's just ......" Seeing Zhang Jiling's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Jiancheng asked Zhang Jiling:

"Zhang Qing, if you have anything in your heart, just say it!"

"Your Majesty! The grass people are a little uncomfortable! ”

"Zhang Qing, please speak!"

"Your Majesty! The minister knew that His Majesty was eager to seek talent, but with the minister's understanding of Xie Yingdeng, this person was arrogant, and he was unwilling to participate in the battle between His Majesty and several younger brothers, and voluntarily joined the Sanqingguan monkhood, and now let Xie Yingdeng come out of Sanqingguan by himself, I am afraid that Xie Yingdeng himself is not embarrassed. Listening to Zhang Jiling's words, Li Jiancheng sneered in his heart - hum! What arrogance is nothing more than to put a few more fig leafs on your face, but it's nothing! Since ancient times, talented people will have a little strange temper, what is good is called a strange temper, and what is said is not good, this is pretending. However, as a monarch, especially a monarch who is eager for merit, appropriate tolerance is needed.

"Zhang Qing, don't worry, I have my own plans in my heart!" After Zhang Jiling listened to Li Jiancheng's words, he no longer had any words and retreated directly. The next day, the most lively Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an posted another emperor list, and the people of Chang'an were all watching under the emperor list:

"Ugh! Second Brother Wu, you know the words, what is written on this emperor list? That second brother Wu looked at the emperor list and read carefully:

"I first ascended to the great treasure, there are many things inside and outside, but I feel a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, so I issued an edict to ask for advice, since the date of the release of the emperor's list, I have specially set up a copper cabinet in Chang'an and Luoyang, I Li Tang world, whether it is the imperial family, civil and military officials, ordinary people, monks and Taoists, can put forward to me the righteousness of governing the country, if the policy is feasible, you can immediately face the monarch and grant official positions! In addition, the speaker is not guilty! In addition, from today onwards, officials of the seventh rank and above of the imperial court must recommend more than one virtuous person to me, and the recommended person must hold a letter of recommendation from the recommender, etc., and after my interview, he can also be awarded an official position. When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately discussed:

"Ahh The emperor asked for advice again. What a great man in the world! ”

"The emperor is like a stream, and I am hopeful of the Tang Dynasty."

"Also, if the policy is feasible, you can immediately face the king and grant you an official position! In addition, from today onwards, officials of the seventh rank and above of the imperial court must recommend more than one virtuous person to me, and the recommended person must hold a letter of recommendation from the recommender, etc., and after the interview by me, he can also be conferred an official position, and the person who speaks is not guilty! Ah! Great, when the time comes, we will be officials. "Being an official is the ultimate wish of the people, as long as they are people, they all want to get ahead, since the imperial examination was abolished, the selection of officials has returned to the position of the gatekeeper, the origin and the recommendation of the Ming people, ordinary people can only be a small official at most, want to enter the court grade, it is even more difficult! Now, as long as you can directly write to the emperor, if you can enter the eyes of the emperor, you can be confined to the official position when the time comes, everyone seems to see a cloud avenue in front of them, and for a while, in front of the copper cabinet that Li Jiancheng wrote to the book, the people who threw books inside, etc., and even monks and Taoists threw books inside. In addition, the local officials in Li Tang, even a small county magistrate's house, are crowded with people who want to get a letter of recommendation. Sanqingguan, Xie Yingdeng took off his robe and put on the military uniform issued by the imperial court, Zhang Jiling's son Zhang Qiancai is an officer of the forbidden army in the palace, and Xie Yingdeng has been recommended, and Li Jiancheng has ordered Xie Yingdeng to be incorporated into the capital garrison and served as an officer. Today, it happened to be the day when Xie Yingdeng was about to take office, after Xie Yingdeng packed his luggage, he saw the head of the monk standing at the door and his uncle, the head of the Lingtai Dao, Xie Yingdeng knelt in front of the head of the monk and the head of the Lingtai Dao:

"The apprentice thanks the master and uncle for their support, tolerance and care over the years, but with the emperor's order, the apprentice can't disobey, can't be filial piety in front of the master and uncle, I just hope that the master and uncle take good care of themselves." Cultivator Xian stroked Xie Yingdeng's hair:

"O Spiritual Officer! No, it should be called General Xie now, and when you get to the army, you must do a good job! In addition, there are no more rules in the army than in the view, you have to control your emotions, and you must not move your fists and feet! Xie Yingdeng knew that what the cultivator was talking about was that he had just entered the Sanqing Temple and was fighting with a young Taoist. At the beginning, if it wasn't for the protection of the cultivators, according to the rules of the Taoist temple, the same sect fought with each other, and he would have been expelled from the Taoist temple. Xie Yingdeng immediately kowtowed:

"Master, the spiritual officer must follow the master's teachings, and from now on, he must act patiently first." Daoist Xian nodded, and glanced at Daoist Lingtai again, Daoist Xie Hong immediately took out a stack of Taoist scriptures, and Daoist Xian continued:

"Lingguan, these are the divine tenets of the Three Qing and Four Emperors, where the essence of this sect is, you have to study one or two more!" After Xie Yingdeng put away the stack of Taoist scriptures, he kowtowed to the head of the Xian Cultivator and the head of the Lingtai Dao, and then picked up his luggage and went down the mountain. Daoist Xie Hong looked at Xie Yingdeng's distant back, and there was a trace of desolation in his heart. Daoist Xian patted Daoist Xie Hong's shoulder:

"Xie Yingdeng has gone his own way now, we should be happy for Xie Yingdeng!" Daoist Xie Hong nodded.

In Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng was also flipping through mountains of recommendation letters and books. Since the issuance of the order to ask for advice, letters and letters recommending talents to Li Jiancheng from all over the country have been pouring into Chang'an and Luoyang copper cabinets. And Li Jiancheng is also a lot busy, all day and night is to read letters and books, and then to meet the people who came to be promoted, so that Li Jiancheng has no time to meet the concubine, Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan have nothing, but Cao Yuyan's girl, she can't bear the loneliness in her heart, and often sends people to send some supplements in the name of worrying about Li Jiancheng's body, ginseng bird's nest soup, abalone stewed hen and other things, Li Jiancheng knows that Cao Yuyan is reminding herself to go to her from time to time, but now is the busiest time, Li Jiancheng could only say sorry. Li Jiancheng looked at these letters and letters of recommendation, and suddenly, one of the letters caught Li Jiancheng's attention - "The Book of Storage on Both Sides of the Canal", only to see that it read:

"Since the Grand Canal of the former Sui Dynasty communicated the north and south and Guanzhong Cao Yun, the transportation of taxes in Jiangnan has become easier! However, the food problem of the people in Guanzhong has not yet been solved, mainly because there is no storage on both sides of the canal, which is easy to cause grain rot, so it can not be transported on a large scale, coupled with the consumption of boatmen on the road, each time only the grain storage in the Chang'an area is filled with six achievements, the local officials on the one hand to prevent His Majesty from blaming, on the other hand, in order to invite favor, so the cloth, gold and silver and other things are added, and then in the past Sui time, once there was a famine in Guanzhong, the emperor led the civil and military officials to Luoyang to avoid the famine in the name of reducing the consumption of materials in Guanzhong. Chen specially asked to build granaries on both sides of the canal, so that on the one hand, more grain can be transported, and on the other hand, once there is another famine in Guanzhong, grain can be transferred nearby, so as to avoid the pain of transferring grain from Qilu in the south of the Yangtze River. After reading this letter, Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up suddenly, since the Qin and Han dynasties set the capital of Xianyang Chang'an, to the later Sui and Tang dynasties, experienced several dynasties, the population skyrocketed, which caused a serious shortage of cultivated land, plus Chang'an is the imperial capital, the world's merchants and people who go to Chang'an every day to seek officials, so once there is a natural disaster, Guanzhong will be starving all over the field. Hunger is everywhere. At the beginning, Yang Guang repaired the Grand Canal, the premise was originally to mobilize Qilu Jiangnan grain to solve the dilemma in the Guanzhong area, who knew that the starting point was good, but, after Yang Guang became the emperor, he threw the original idea aside, and took advantage of the change of traffic to go to the Quartet to cruise, who knew that after arriving in Jiangnan, on the one hand, because of the turmoil in the Central Plains, Yang Guang could not return to the Central Plains, in addition, the main thing was that the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan fascinated Yang Guang's eyes, thinking back to this, Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to sigh in his heart, Li Jiancheng thought again, In the later Tang Dynasty Xuanzong Li Longji period of the famous Guanzhong merchant Wang Yuanbao and Tianbao period of the traitor Yang Guozhong, both of them started because of the construction of warehouses on both sides of the canal, so that the grain of Jiangnan Qilu can be transported to all parts of Guanzhong 100%, alleviating the food crisis in Guanzhong. Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan years, Guanzhong still often occurs food shortage, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji decreed, ordered the local officials of Jiangnan Qilu to transport more grain to Guanzhong, Jiangnan Qilu local officials did not dare to disobey the emperor's holy decree, had to bring more, however, the grain could not be stored, causing mildew, so that many officials were Tang Xuanzong Li Longji asked for guilt and lost office, Wang Yuanbao built a warehouse to store grain in each section of the canal, once the grain ship in the Jiangnan Qilu area arrived, the granary was rented to the government for storing grain, The government is also willing to cooperate with Wang Yuanbao to rent Wang Yuanbao's warehouse, and Wang Yuanbao has also become a wealthy businessman in Chang'an with the help of this business. The industry is all over Chang'an, known as the semi-Chang'an, and Yang Guozhong is because he figured out Wang Yuanbao's way of making a fortune, and secretly played it to Li Longji, who used administrative means to forcibly seize the warehouse industry in the hands of Wang Yuanbao, so that the grain shortage in Guanzhong was completely solved. And Yang Guozhong also took this opportunity to be appreciated and reused by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. accelerated the decline of Li Tang.
