Volume 5 Chapter 629 Li Er's Sense of Crisis
Li Er, who walked out of the store, his face changed instantly.
It's long gone with the pleasant face in the store before, and a gloomy and frightening face.
Are you really not as smart as you?
Datang Logistics at the feet of the Son of Heaven is so unbearable, and Changming Logistics, which is thousands of miles away from the center of power, is thriving, how do you let him feel?
Well, he can understand, really, understand, after all, he has also been someone else's courtier in the past, but he can't accept it! Because today, identity has changed.
People are actually like this, even if it is the same thing, as long as the identities are reversed, right and wrong are mixed.
Call......
Taking a deep breath, Li Er put away his anger and changed his face in an instant, which relieved the group that followed him.
"Let's go, let's go shopping." Li Er smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't wandered around Chang'an City for some time. ”
As an emperor, Li Er is still very good at controlling his emotions.
When you say hanging out, that's really hanging out.
Walking and stopping, looking at the various forms of life of the people of Chang'an, the mood is much better.
In any case, the lives of the people under his rule are finally much easier than in the early years, and Li Er's mood is still good.
This is the best affirmation of him.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good and ......"
At this moment, there was a catchy sound of reading, which made Li Er stunned.
"Three Character Sutra?" After that, Li Er looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw two children sitting on the stone steps playing, and from time to time they were talking about you and me.
He is naturally no stranger to the three-character scripture, after all, it was one of the congratulatory gifts sent by Li Chengqian back then.
After seeing it for the first time, he knew that this three-character scripture would become the new head of Mengxue, and at this time, seeing that the two children could recite it so fluently, Li Er's heart was not very comfortable.
Without stopping long, Li Er said, "Let's go, go to the library and have a look." ”
The so-called book pavilion is the once sensational Tang Book Pavilion.
When Li Er saw Mr. Wuliu's sentence again, he appreciated the strange text and analyzed the doubts, and his mood was completely different.
Walking in the door, the first thing I saw was the eye-catching black letters on a white background, quiet!
I think that at the beginning, when he saw this static word for the first time, he really felt that this word was a stroke of genius for this book.
But today, when I look at it again, I have a little more indescribable disgust.
At this time, in the book cabinet, many people are sitting on the long table quietly reading books, and many people are still holding a charcoal pen in their hands, and they are writing something from time to time.
Some people who couldn't find a place to sit simply took a futon from the side and immersed themselves in the world of books by leaning on the bookshelf, unable to extricate themselves.
From beginning to end, except for a very small number of people who glanced at Li Er who entered the door, no one paid attention to them.
Even the people who came to see it, after finding out that they were not acquaintances, immediately turned their heads.
Li Er didn't care about this, after all, this is what a reader should look like, looking at the bookshelves around him, they were now full.
Although it is less delicate than at the beginning, it has a little more bookishness.
Without saying much, Li Er didn't want to disturb them, passed through a few doors, and came to the transcription room again.
There are also a lot of people in the transcription room at this time, and they are all immersed in writing.
For them, Li Er can understand.
After all, in this era, it is extremely difficult for many people to have a book of their own, even if the book is just a transcription.
Also didn't disturb them, Li Er passed through a few more doors, and actually heard a slight sound.
This made him very curious, and he walked over quickly.
The more I walked, the clearer the sound became, as if a group of people were chatting.
There are those who exchange knowledge, and there are those who really chat.
It was only when he went to the deepest part that Li Er saw a room with a sign of "Experience Exchange".
The door was not closed, and I saw a group of people sitting inside, chatting in groups.
The room was quite large, with many tables and chairs, and because he heard some topics of interest, Li Er led someone to find an empty table and sit down.
The entourage was still ready to be vigilant, but Li Er gave him a look, and everyone immediately sat down.
"Brother Perrin, are you sure?" As soon as he sat down, Li Er heard the person behind him say, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"Wait a little longer, this is going to Daming, thousands of miles away, you have to wait for a reply from home." The scholar known as Brother Perrin shook his head and said.
"Why bother? Now Changming logistics is all over the world, and at that time, it will be okay to let Changming logistics send the family letter to Riyue Mountain.
Now, Daming is a great opportunity for us to make contributions, missed the opportunity, and want to show our ambitions in the future, I am afraid that there will be no chance. ”
Speaking of this, the man also sighed, "Hey, if there is a chance in Chang'an, who wants to leave their hometown?" To tell you the truth, I've been in Chang'an for two years, and I've been waiting for two years, but I haven't seen any shadow of opening a department, and I really can't wait.
Wait another two years, don't say age, you can't bear this consumption. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" On the side, someone also said, "I saw that we also opened a book pavilion over there, and after inquiring, I found out that now the court is building book pavilions in various places, at that time I thought that the opportunity had come, and I discussed it with my family, and I came to Chang'an, but who knows, it will be so long."
Hey, I can't hold it anymore, after all, there are old and young, they are all counting on me, but let me go back like this, I am not reconciled......"
"Who willing?" Someone else said, "If you want me to say, Chang'an has no chance, so go to Daming to try."
His Royal Highness is also a well-educated person, and for us students, it is also extremely generous, whether it is the paper, or the three-character scripture, which one has not benefited us poor students?
Now His Royal Highness is also in need of people, putting aside his own future, those of us who have accepted the love should also do something.
Moreover, Daming is the most particular about hard work and harvest, those of us, even if we go to Daming to make an account, it is always not difficult to support our families, right? ”
"Are you planning to go to Daming?" Li Er listened to it for a long time, and finally turned his head and asked out loud.
He actually heard their words, so he found a place to sit down.
Hearing Li Er's question, those people didn't hide it, and nodded one after another.
Li Er asked curiously: "To be able to sit here, they must all be scholars, isn't there anything wrong with going to Daming?" ”
"Brother Tai's words are not right." Someone immediately retorted, "Although the Ming Dynasty is different from the Tang Dynasty, it is still under the rule of my Han people after all, and His Royal Highness is also my Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty, what's wrong?" ”
Li Er They don't like to hear this, what do you mean, when we can't communicate with foreign countries?
Selfishness, they must have, and those who are not selfish are saints, although they still have a heart to serve the country, but they are far from reaching the level of saints.
However, Li Er did not refute this, but asked: "I just heard from you that there is no chance in Chang'an?" Is it because of the imperial examination? ”
Clearly, he realized what the problem was.
"Hey, we people, if we want a family background, we don't have a family background, we don't have a way, although we don't dare to say that we are full of wealth, but it is indeed a cold window for ten years, but there is no place for it."
After speaking, several people also sighed.
In fact, there are really not a few people like them in Chang'an.
Li Er actually knew this, it was okay before, after all, there were no more choices, and Li Er didn't take it seriously at that time, but now that he looks at it, hehe, Datang is no longer their only choice.
Nodding, Li Er said, "But even if you go to Sun Moon Mountain, will it really be useful?" I just heard you say that the worst plan is to be a bookkeeper in Daming, which is acceptable.
That being the case, why don't you find a bookkeeper in Chang'an to do it first, and then wait for the imperial court to open the imperial examination?
There should be a lot of people like this, right? ”
"Not a lot, indeed." Someone replied, "Now the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites Shangshu did this at the beginning. ”
"Exactly, so why don't you have that choice?" Li Er was a little puzzled.
He really doesn't understand, you have the consciousness to go to Daming to be a bookkeeper, why can't you stay in Chang'an and wait for another opportunity?
"Nothing else, just a little bit."
Li Er was curious: "Which point?" ”
"Status." The man said, "The status of Mr. Chang'an's account and Mr. Daming's account is completely different. Brother Tai should have a noble family background, and he may not understand this.
In Chang'an, even if we have been in the cold for ten years, once we engage in these trades, we will naturally be looked down upon. Sometimes, it will even be marked as a businessman, and few people can afford it, if it is not really helpless, no one really wants to go that far.
But Da Ming is different.
As far as we know, in the Ming Dynasty, there is no distinction between high and low occupations, as long as it is a reasonable and legal business, there is no distinction between high and low.
Daming has many industries operating in my Datang, and I don't know that my brother has been in contact with it. ”
"That's nature." Li Er nodded.
The man continued, "Have you ever seen the look of shame and inferiority in those fellows?
Didn't you? They never felt inferior to themselves as just a guy or a coachman, not that they were arrogant, but that they were strictly around that sentence, and there was no shame in supporting their families with their hands.
This is also one of the reasons why we want to go to Daming.
Because relatively speaking, Daming is fairer for everyone.
Even if we don't meet the right opportunity in Daming, let's find a bookkeeper for the time being, no one will look down on us and despise us, as long as there is a suitable opportunity in Daming in the future, we still have hope.
Of course, there is also the most realistic reason, that is, the same Mr. Ledger, Daming's salary is twice that of Datang.
We are all laymen, and we can't escape the matter of supporting our families after all. ”
He was very sincere, and he didn't hide anything he said.
However, in Li Er's ears, it was not very comfortable.
There is actually only one information he heard, and that is that the talents cultivated by Datang itself can't be retained!
This is a serious problem.
Don't look at the only few people here, but what about the places he didn't see?
Who knows how many of them?
The most important thing is that this kind of precedent cannot be opened!
What is talent?
It is the hope of Datang's successor.
If these guys all defect to the Ming Dynasty, then the court will inevitably have to go back to when they were dominated by the scholars.
Oh, for a long time, he revitalized culture and education in order to make a wedding dress for Li Chengqian?
As for the question of the Ming Dynasty, there is no solution to this.
There's no way, almost all of Daming's businesses are profitable, there are profitable businesses, and others want to raise some money for their subordinates, what's wrong?
If he has food, he can't wait for every family to give him three or five stones, isn't this not allowed by the economy?
Of course, at this moment, Li Er didn't have any other emotions, but nodded and said: "Indeed, the Tang imperial examination system does have some drawbacks.
Students like you who have traveled far away have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and they really can't stand it.
Do you have any thoughts on the imperial examination? ”
"I can't say what I think, but it would be nice if the time could be clearer." Someone shook his head and said, "If the time could be clearer, it would indeed be friendlier to those of us who have left our hometowns,"
Li Er nodded.
Indeed, clarifying the time of the imperial examination is really the most hateful for students who are not from Chang'an.
After all, some of them spend half of the time on the road just for a imperial examination. Sometimes I don't even have time to rest and go straight to the exam room, and such a thing is normal for the entire Datang.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Li Er also got up to say goodbye.
He actually knows very well that these guys, some of the words are still right.
Leaving here, Li Er went straight up to the second floor.
Wang Dequan is naturally not here, speaking of which, since the opening of the library pavilion, Wang Dequan has rarely come to this library pavilion, although there was a counter here, but now, the counter is still there, but people have changed one stubble after another.
But for Li Er, it's okay if the person changes, today he is a private visit to Weifu, just to see something that he can't see on weekdays.
"Yo, this guest officer has taken a fancy to something in the shop." The newly appointed shopkeeper is also proud, "Now, I am Ming in this area, and the most famous thing is charcoal, paper, these ......"
"This official doesn't have time to deal with these private matters today."
As soon as he heard Li Er's words, the shopkeeper was also stunned,
"I don't know what this official means?" The shopkeeper asked.
He had already sensed that the man in front of him was not ordinary. But since he claims to be his own official, he must be an official.
When Li Er heard this, he smiled and said: "The official's surname is Li, and he is the first army Cao of the household department. ”
This is also a ruthless person, and there is no need to make any drafts if the lie is true.
"It turned out to be Li Juncao in person, but it was so abrupt." When the man heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
On the side, Li Er smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is polite, this time the official came just to see how your business is doing, and by the way, to learn about the market." ”
