"The minister's words are from the bottom of his heart, if the emperor is not benevolent, the mother is not virtuous, even if the minister has ten courages, he will not dare to say these words to you. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info," Guo Shan said immediately.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "Then you go on, I will pardon you for all your innocences."

Guo Shan finally knew that his words were not wrong, so he really let go of his courage and said: "The benefits of the imperial examination have been said by the ministers before, so the ministers have the courage to talk about the difficulties in implementing the imperial examinations." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned: "Looking at your appearance, do you really want to say something that others dare not say?" Well, I will tell you. ”

Guo Shan didn't dare to drink tea at the moment, nor did he dare to deliberately sell Guanzi, so he sat up straight and said: "The minister thinks that the benefits of the imperial examination are in the future, which not only puts an end to the control of the government by the wang clan, but also makes the people of the world truly feel the grace of heaven." The minister thinks that the imperial court opens the imperial examination, aiming to bring the world's capable people into the imperial court to contribute to the country, but the minister is very much in favor of the imperial court's measures but does not think that the effect is very good. ”

He added: "Since ancient times, courtiers have liked to gang up and cronyism, which is the first evil cause that violates the original intention of Kaike. The world is in turmoil, the world is peaceful for only a few years, and the court has not yet been fully recognized and understood by the people of the world. For many years, the children of the poor family had no money to study, not to mention that they had obtained fame and fame to become officials in the court, which was the third. According to the rules, students must enter Beijing to take the exam no matter where they are, and those who are closer to Beijing may have opportunities, but candidates who are far away from Chang'an must travel early. First, the journey on the road will inevitably be delayed, and secondly, the cost of transportation, horses, housing and food required on the road alone is not a small amount. Because of this entanglement and unable to enter Beijing, this is the fourth. There is the fifth, which is also very important. According to the rules of previous years, the test papers submitted by candidates are not ambiguous, which makes it easy for the examiner to cheat. The imperial examination should be made into a system, and it is naturally not an overnight thing to improve this system, and the minister can't think of more, and he only thinks of this for the time being. ”

Empress Eldest Sun was silent, and Li Tai and Fang Yiai next to her seemed very unnatural. One didn't believe Guo Shan's words, and the other was thoughtful, anyway, they didn't expect Guo Shan to think so much and so deeply about the imperial examination, and Guo Shan hadn't talked to them about the imperial examination or anything in the past.

"It's a pity that you don't become an official." Empress Liangjiu raised her head and looked at Guo Shan, frowned and said, "Give tea." ”

Guo Shan almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.

He had drunk enough of the nervousness before, and he no longer wanted to drink the garlic in the tea. But the tea given by the mother, that is not to drink and have to drink, not only to drink but also to thank, not only to thank but also to drink.

Li Tai looked at the large tea held by the palace maid next to him, and glanced at Guo Shan with pity, he knew that Guo Shan didn't like to drink tea.

"The ministers are sparse and shallow, how can they be worthy of the praise of the mother, the ministers are ashamed, and the ministers dare not drink this tea." Guo Shan got up and bowed humbly.

But Empress Changsun spoke: "If you can't do it, how many people in the world will do it?" Well, how old are you? There is no one your age who is smarter than you. I haven't seen it before, and I haven't seen it now. ”

Guo Shan is embarrassed, and he can marry a wife after his real age.

Coughing dryly, Guo Shan didn't dare to refuse now. With a smile on his face, he poured a large amount of tea into his throat, and instantly felt his stomach shrink, and he almost didn't vomit it.

"Minister, thank you for giving tea." When it was over, Guo Shan shouted excitedly, and he smelled the spicy smell of garlic and ginger.

"According to what you said, you set up this school just so that people who can't afford to study can learn?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Guo Shan hurriedly said: "Niangniang Shengming, the minister hopes that the minister will give them a chance to become rich and strong." And in the future, they will give the minister a rich and powerful Tang Dynasty. Niangniang, the young man is strong, the country is strong, Niangniang. This is a bit unconscionable, and he Guo Shan doesn't seem to have such a high consciousness.

Guo Shan couldn't hold the eldest grandson Niangniang's words by himself, but the saying that the country is strong when the youth is strong is right.

"That's a good point, and I'm glad to hear what you have to say." Empress Eldest Sun said a word, and said, "I look forward to seeing your name in the future entrance exams." I hope that you will be able to say such things as today to the emperor, to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and to the people of the world. ”

Get? Boasting that Guo Shan can succeed, but if it comes to exams.

He was tired of the exam in his previous life, and if he entered the examination room in this life, he might be able to pass the exam, but the article he wrote may not be as wonderful as today. After all, the imperial examination system, which has existed for more than 1,000 years in history, has almost been evaluated by later generations, and he just transferred the views of later generations to the present.

The autumn breeze pushed slightly, and the painting boat slowly paraded over the Bahe River under the impetus of the boatman.

Empress Eldest Sun stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the fruitful fields and not knowing what to think.

Guo Shan, Li Tai and several others stood behind her on the right and did not dare to speak, while on her left side, there were four young girls.

Speaking of girls, it's not all.

One of the oldest is Guo Shan's 'cousin', and now Guo Shan knows that she is the daughter of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's eldest son, Princess Changle Li Lizhen, of course Guo Shan will not tell himself that this 'cousin' is actually her marriage with her cousin Changsun Chong was ruined by herself.

Next to Li Lizhi is another princess, Princess Qinghe, who is only in her teens. The other one is only seven or eight years old, that is, the little girl called Guo Shan's 'big brother', this is not a princess, but indeed a royal family.

No one Guo Shan can provoke, and no one Guo Shan dares to provoke.

Having said that, there was only Li Tai on the entire boat, and Cheng Huailiang and Fang Yiai were not afraid of him.

"Uncle Cousin, what are you thinking?" The little girl Li Xueyan asked curiously.

Touching the little guy's face with a smile, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "People inevitably like to remember when they are old, I saw this Ba River, and when I saw the crops on this Ba River, I remembered many things from the past." ”

Guo Shan rolled his eyes secretly, thinking to himself that you are not yet old, thirty years old, right? Why are you old?

"The queen mother looks a few years older than me, so how can she say that she is old." Li Lizhi said next to him.

Guo Shan couldn't help but secretly glanced at Li Liqing, wanting to take a closer look at this 'cousin' who was still quite famous in history but died early.

"Guo Shan, this area is all your crops?" Empress Eldest Sun's sudden questioning made Guo Shan shudder, and a feeling of being caught and raped suddenly arose.

Hurriedly said: "Back to the mother's words, all the people above are ministers." ”

Empress Eldest Sun sighed lightly and couldn't help but say, "This year's crop harvest is so good? ”

Guo Shandao: "God bless, Niang Niang Hongfu, this year's wind and rain are smooth, and the crops in the fields are free of disasters, so the harvest has increased a lot." ”

Empress Changsun smiled: "I see that your crops seem to be growing much better than others, are your fields all good fields?" ”

Guo Shan's cold sweat came down, the sky is pitiful, he doesn't have the habit of taking people's good land, and he is not so domineering, that is the patent of the children of the nobles of Wang Sun.

Before Guo Shan could reply, Empress Eldest Sun was surprised: "What is this big wheel that keeps turning?" ”

Without waiting for Guo Shan to speak, Li Taixian put up: "Queen Mother, the son knows it." This big wheel is called a waterwheel, and it is used to water the fields. ”

Empress Changsun looked at Guo Shan when she heard this, and Guo Shan explained helplessly: "This is what I ordered the people in the house to find craftsmen to build according to the drawings in the book, and so far I haven't seen any other families in Chang'an City except my house." ”

"How useful is this waterwheel?" Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help asking.

Thinking about it slightly, Guo Shan said: "It can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is very convenient to use it for watering." ”

"Why are there so many cattle on the hillside over there?" Empress Eldest Sun's thinking seemed to be a little out of the way, and before Guo Shan could finish breathing, she pointed into the distance again.

Hey, she's got a lot of eyes.

With a wry smile, Guo Shan said: "That's the ploughing cattle of the tenants of the minister's family, and every family has one. ”

"Waterwheel, ploughing cattle, how rich are the tenants under your door?" Empress Eldest Sun didn't believe it, and she wouldn't believe it either. Li Tai glanced at Guo Shan strangely and said, "Queen Mother, I have heard from the tenant farmers of the Guo family with my own ears. They have never paid for the Guo family's waterwheel, and even the cattle are cushioned by Dalang himself. ”

At this time, Li Lizhi was a little surprised, she was older than Princess Li Jing of Qinghe, and she already knew how to take food from the field and clothes from mulberry. As for Li Xueyan, who is more than eight years old, she probably doesn't know that ploughing cattle are bought with money, right?

It is precisely because people who understand things understand that they feel a little incredible.

Looking at Guo Shan's age, I'm afraid seven years old, eight years old? Ten years old? Or eleven or twelve?

Anyway, so small, where did he get the kindness to buy farming cattle with money?

Not to mention that Li Li didn't believe it, the eldest grandson queen with a strong heart and extensive knowledge didn't believe it very much.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Guo Shan could only smile bitterly and replied: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, the minister once almost sold all the fields because of the waterwheel and the ploughing of cattle. The housekeeper in the house had a problem with me, but now he also thinks that what the minister did is right. In order to make others believe, Guo Shan said: "After the calculation of the housekeeper, this year's harvest in my house is much higher than the sum of last year and the year before that. Although this is a blessing that there are no natural disasters this year, the ploughing cattle and waterwheels have not played a role in it. And natural disasters are not irresistible, as long as they are dealt with properly, the damage can always be minimized. It may not be obvious in a year, but if it is like this every year, then the rent received by the government will increase several times. If the tenant farmers have good harvests, there is no reason why I, as an employer, should be poorer than them. In addition, a good harvest is not only for them, but also for me as an employer. ”

"It is very rare that you are willing to think like this, and I think that in the future, your tenant farmers will not leave you, and your field harvest will be better and better." The eldest grandson queen said.

This sentence is the best sentence that Guo Shan has gained today, and it is conceivable that after this sentence, no one will dare to hit Guo Shantian's idea without opening his eyes. Because today, Empress Changsun said that Guo Shan's tenant farmers would not leave him, and said that Guo Shan's field harvest would get better and better.

Li Tai glanced at Guo Shan strangely, and Cheng Huailiang looked a little envious when he looked at Guo Shan.

"Thank you." Guo Shan hurriedly bowed.

secretly thought that if he had already won the queen's words, then Wang Susu's liquidated damages would not have to be given to Xu Jingzong, the old pervert. Although the old pervert is an official in the court, no matter how powerful his official is the eldest grandson queen?
