Zhang Ou admires Li Yunze very much, and even thinks that he is the best successor of the Han Dynasty.

If you talk about concerns, there are concerns, that is, they are worried that Li Yunze only has martial arts and is not involved in political disputes.

No matter how brave and unparalleled the commander on the battlefield is, he will eventually fall under the political struggle.

There is Bai Qi Li Mu in the front, and Xiang Yu Han Xin in the back, all of which are living examples.

Hearing Li Yunze's words at this time, the last stone in his heart finally fell with peace of mind.

He understands that, and that's enough.

Not afraid of open guns, and not afraid of dark arrows is the real posture of the hero.

Zhang Ou, who was relieved, also had doubts in his heart.

Where did this Zhongshan King learn these skills? Who is the teacher of the king of Zhongshan?

He doesn't believe in what he is born to know, these skills must be taught by powerful people.

But no matter what Zhang Ou thought, he couldn't figure out which great talent in Chang'an City could have such an identity and ability.

And the king of Zhongshan is both civil and military, unless Jia Yi and Zhou Yafu teach together.

But how is this possible?

And if the king of Zhongshan is so powerful, why didn't he show it early so that he could compete for the crown prince.

I have to wait until I go out to seal the country, so I can show my ability, and I really can't figure it out anyway.

He really couldn't figure it out, but it was even more impossible to ask, all of this could only be buried in his heart.

Back in Lunu City, Li Yunze went to the palace to rest on his own, while Zhang Ou took Zhang Tang and others back to the post station.

They have been here in Zhongshan for a long time, but they still have no intention of returning to Chang'an City.

The reason is very simple, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, sent a letter to Zhang Ou, asking him to stay here to assist, observe, and report at any time.

As for the work of the court lieutenant, there are naturally nobles waiting to take over.

"Ming Gong."

After entering the post station, Zhang Tang immediately said, "The king is very angry, and I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied with the matter of the Son of Heaven and his relatives."

"Do you want to make some money?"

Zhang Tang, who was worried about the possible rift in the relationship between the king and the Son of Heaven, never thought that Tingwei would actually ask him if he wanted to make money.

"Naturally, I want to."

Zhang Ou said with a smile, "Since you want to make money, then take out all your net worth, and give you all the money and goods brought by the old man, and you can go to them to ask for money and make a fortune together." ”

Zhang Tangqi said, "Ming Gong, what does this mean?" ”

"Go buy sheep."

Zhang Ou nodded and explained, "I didn't see that the king brought back tens of thousands of sheep, and the king didn't leave any of them, and they were all distributed to the soldiers who went out." Less than 2,000 people went on the expedition, and one person had at least a few dozen heads, who could eat so much. ”

"Even if you keep some of it and raise it, at least half of it will definitely be sold."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tang already understood, "Tens of thousands of sheep suddenly appeared in Lunu City to be sold, and the price will inevitably plummet." Originally, the head sheep in the city was about 400 yuan, but in the next few days, it was estimated that the sergeant's family could buy it for 300 yuan. ”

"That's right."

Zhang Ouhaha laughed, "I bought the sheep and took them directly to the post station next to the official road outside the city, and a caravan passed by and sold them directly." If you don't sell it for 400 yuan, you can sell it for 380 yuan. ”

Zhang Tang, who has always had a serious expression, also relaxed his expression when talking about making money, "A hundred sheep can earn tens of thousands of dollars, this is really a good business." It's a pity that I can only do it for a few days, and when the news gets out, there will be no caravans. ”

"How can you speak for words?"

Zhang Ou waved his hand, "We are doing legitimate business, and we are willing to buy and sell our ears." ”

Zhang Tang, who was in a happy mood, hurriedly left the room to find his entourage to raise funds for business.

Zhang Ou sat in front of the desk and laid out a blank piece of paper, and then began to write a recital.

There is only one content in this note, that is, the king of Zhongshan is very dissatisfied with his relatives.

After writing, Zhang Ou thought about it, dried the ink and took a blank piece of paper and wrote a paragraph, the main meaning is that the king is heroic and strong, like the rising sun. But there is no queen by his side, and he serves the king with the softness of water to go to Huoyunyun.

This is Zhang Ou's official work when he came to Zhongshan this time.

Li Yunze, who returned to the palace, did not face the warblers and Yanyan who greeted him.

In fact, in the palace of Lunu City, except for the palace maids who were brought from Chang'an City to serve and work, there were no other sisters at all.

Even, it began to be rumored that the king doesn't like beauty and likes basketball cough.

The lack of a sister is a secondary issue, and the more important problem is that all kinds of official affairs in the eight counties of Zhongshan Country have been handed over to Li Yunze's desk.

There is no way, the magistrates do not want to take care of things, big and small things can be handed over, and even whose dog is stolen, which village fights and beats each other because of the snatching of water wells, or other trivial matters, must be sent to the city of Lunu to ask the king to decide.

Magistrates are all recommended, and in order to maintain their reputation, they naturally ignore it if they can, and shirk it if they can, for fear of being contaminated with cause and effect.

Originally, these matters should have been handled by the state minister, the state minister and their staff.

But when he came to Zhongshan before, the Son of Heaven had not yet been appointed.

Now that his reputation has risen and he has been concerned, the Son of Heaven is even more unsend-off.

Chang Shilang Zhao Yan was supposed to handle official business, but he went to Dingxiang County with Li Yunze.

So as a result, as soon as Li Yunze came back, he had to face a mountain of various dossiers and documents.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the mass popularization of paper, these bundles of bamboo slips of dossiers and documents were literally piled up in the room.

Looking at the bamboo slips full of them, Li Yunze's expression at this time was, in short, indescribable.

He didn't complain much, just instructed Zhao Yan, who was accompanying him, to "hold the lamp and send supper to this king." ”

Sitting behind the desk, he spread out the bamboo slips and began to dispose of official business.

With his unparalleled experience, as well as his experience in the era of information explosion, he is really handy in handling all kinds of affairs, large and small.

The disposed bamboo slips were quickly sent out, and the bamboo slips in the room were decreasing and declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.

When the day broke dawn and the rooster crowed, Li Yunze finally wrote on the bamboo slips of the last dog theft case, 'According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the owner of the dog meat shop will be punished for theft', handed the bamboo slips to Zhao Yan, who had dark circles under his eyes, and stretched his waist for a long time.

When he got up and was about to go to breakfast, he saw the staff and clerks bring in several large plates of bamboo slips.

Li Yunze sat down again, looked at the bamboo slips placed in front of him, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the desk.

"This won't work, I have to recruit a lot of talent, and I have to change this damn recommendation system!"

The inaction of the magistrate made Li Yunze very dissatisfied.

He understands that the real reason for this is that it comes from the recommendation system.

The magistrates who are recommended are basically native to their hometowns, so they can naturally ignore things.

If you want to change this problem at the root, you have to change the sitting official to the current official.

As for how to change it, it has long been written clearly in the history books.

Imperial examination!

Is the imperial examination good?

Of course, compared with the monopoly recommendation system, the benefits of the imperial examination are completely overwhelming.

However, the biggest obstacle to the imperial examination is the Xungui group.

Because under the recommendation system, basically everyone of the children of Xungui Group is recommended, and they can also recommend others.

If the imperial examination is used, there is no doubt that it will affect the interests of the Xungui group and become their opponent.

If such a thing is in Chang'an City, even if Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, wants to promote it, it will be difficult, because the opposition of the Xungui group is too great.

You must know that just a few decades ago, it was the Xungui Group that sent troops to slaughter the entire Lu clan, and even slaughtered the young emperor.

They have knives, and they really dare to do things.

Historically, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing were very jealous of the Xungui Group, and they never stopped.

For example, Zhou Bo, a representative figure of the Xungui Group, once said the famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, 'Today knows the value of prison officials'.

And his imprisonment is the emperor's blow to the Xungui group, and it has already weakened a lot, at least there will not be Zhou Bo shouting 'for the left side of the Lu family, right side for the Liu family' to pull the soldiers away.

Historically speaking, it was not until the time of the Emperor Wu Dynasty that the rise of the new Xungui group headed by Wei Qinghuo Qubing would sweep the old founding Xungui group into the garbage heap of history.

But Li Yunze didn't want to wait that long, he had to do it now.

The advantage of doing it now is that he is the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, and he can toss as much as he wants in Zhongshan, and the nobles of Chang'an City will at most accuse him, but they will not launch a mutiny.

Of course, if Li Yunze wants to be the crown prince one day and inherit the unification or something, the resistance of these nobles will be unprecedentedly strong.

But that's all for later, Li Yunze is too lazy to care about it now.

Another advantage is that at this time, because of the white paper and printing, a large number of children from hundreds of schools in the world gathered in Zhongshan Kingdom, and in order to compete for the opportunity to print the classics of their own school, they were already about to hit the dog's brain.

People are inside and outside the city, as long as they are given a chance.

Li Yunze does things, so he naturally does what he says.

Two days later, the city of Lunu was plastered with the king's notice, which was very simple and clear, that is, to inform everyone that the king of Zhongshan would recruit capable people to serve the king.

This kind of thing is very common, from the Son of Heaven to the princes to the nobles, everyone is eager for talents.

It's just that the conditions offered by Li Yunze this time are not for those so-called respected people to recommend, and there is no need for the recommended people to have such and such conditions.

He set only one condition, to take the examination arranged by the king himself in ten days, and those who passed the examination were awarded official positions.

There is no doubt that this is an epoch-making initiative!

Officials are selected by examination, not by recommendation.

There is no longer a need to serve those nobles and ask them for their help. Instead, they rely on their real skills to get opportunities through exam competition.

Walking the noble way, it is really hard to say.

The hardships and humiliations are even worse than those students in later generations who had to be dredged by the beasts for their graduation certificates.

Those Changpiao who have been waiting for opportunities in Chang'an City all year round have experienced the hardships and humiliations that they can't tell with tears in their eyes.

Now, I finally have the opportunity to fight for my future through my real talents.

So when the news was confirmed, all schools of thought were directly ignited with enthusiasm!
