His Majesty the Great Emperor returned to the city of Chang'an, which he had been loyal to.

After leading hundreds of civil and military officials to tour Luoyang for five months, Li Shimin led hundreds of officials back to Chang'an.

Part of the reason for this is because of the lack of food in Guanzhong, and part of the reason is because only when he leaves Guanzhong, those people dare to do anything wrong.

The Taiji Hall is very bright, Li Shimin sits in the center, the other prime ministers sit on both sides according to the seating order, and Wang Xuanjing sits in the first position on the left. He is the crown prince and the prince, the middle book order, the official department of the book, ranked first.

In fact, Shang Shuling is the number one, but Shang Shuling was held by Li Shimin before, and then it was no longer awarded to others, and then Shang Shu's servant shot, but because Wang Xuanjing has the official position of the crown prince and the prince, this is the first.

Shangshu's left and right servants are Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, originally Xiao Yu was also the prime minister, but he was dismissed from office by Wang Xuanjing last time, and went home to think about it.

In addition to them, there are also the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, and Wei Zheng is a member of the Zhongshu House. The Zhongshushe is only a five-rank official, but he, the Zhongshushe, has a suffix for the governor, which means that he can enter the political affairs hall.

Among the people of the Wang family, Wang Xuanjing has the highest position, Wang Xuanlie is in the army, and some other Wang children are either in the army or hold lower positions.

This time, after Wang Xuanjing's cleanup, Xungui and the family are much more honest, and Li Shimin is ready to officially launch the imperial examination system.

In the past, although the imperial examination system had been established, it had not been formally implemented, but now after this crackdown, those nobles and family lords did not dare to secretly resist anymore, and it was just right to promote the imperial examination system.

At that time, although the plan was to promote the imperial examination system, those people kept passing the buck to each other. After all, it requires the cooperation of officials from all parts of the imperial court.

This time, the imperial court began to officially promote the imperial examination system, all the states and counties in the world will set up a sacrificial wine, every three years, the county students in the county will be called together for the examination, the examination questions are prepared by the Ministry of Officials, and then issued to the counties, after the county examination is selected, and then go to the capital to take the examination.

The biggest difference between the imperial examination system and all previous systems is that it does not require the recommendation of others. Recommendation, filial piety and so on, these systems basically need to be recommended.

Most of the people who can be recommended are local officials, or nobles, or high-ranking officials who have already made a decision, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to meet these people.

Therefore, no matter how this way of selecting talents changes, there are a large number of poor families and ordinary people who have no chance to be recommended.

The imperial examination system has now had the basis for implementation, and paper has been invented for thousands of years.

There are two directions for this improvement, one is to make paper that can be used for writing at the lowest possible cost, and the other is to increase the cost and make some better quality and more wear-resistant paper.

The low-cost paper is used to make some cheap books, while the high-quality, more wear-resistant paper is used to make more important information documents, etc., and can also be used to make books for long-term preservation.

Now that Wang had a cheap supply of paper, and with a large number of books in his hands, the time had come to implement the imperial examination system.

In the past, the aristocracy monopolized knowledge, and their children and grandchildren were officials, but after the spread of the family, the family became more and more cheap.

More and more people can read books, and the imperial court can also obtain more and more talents.

That is, in September of the first year of Zhenguan, the imperial court officially issued an edict to hold the imperial examination, and at the same time the imperial examination system was issued to all counties, and the first imperial examination was prepared a year later. In order for the imperial examination to proceed smoothly, the imperial court gave a lot of time to prepare.

After learning that the imperial court selects talents in an eclectic manner, the common people of the world, the powerful and the poor, all buy books and seek advice from knowledgeable people from all over the world.

This kind of scene is even greater than the sensation caused by the Daqianxue Palace in Dazhou County. After all, books were expensive during the Great Dry period, and it was not easy to enroll in a county school.

Now that the imperial court has directly abolished the threshold, anyone can go to study as long as they feel that they can do it.

When the imperial examination system was vigorously implemented, Wang Xuanjing did not relax the lords and nobles in Guanzhong.

Rather, the immigration policy began in earnest.

The land of Guanzhong is indeed a rare fertile land, especially in the Weihe Plain, where the water source is abundant and the land is flat. Suitable for planting.

It has a history of 1,400 years since the Qin State began to develop and cultivate. Especially after the Great Qian, the area was vigorously developed, and Guanzhong became more luxuriant.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was no serious war here, and the population of Guanzhong has become more and more, and it has even become the most populous place in the world.

Originally, after thousands of years of reclamation, there was no excess land in the Guanzhong Plain, and after thousands of years of farming, even if there were various composting technologies for raising land, it was inevitable that the land would become barren.

Although the Guanzhong Plain is not small, it is still much worse than Hebei, Henan, Nanyang, Huai'an and other places. Basically, there is no development potential left.

Wang Xuanjing conducted a detailed investigation of Guanzhong, and naturally knew this situation, and he had always wanted to move more people out.

The Dugu family, as the former imperial family and the mother-in-law of Queen Dugu, was not liquidated after Li Tang Dingli, after all, the Li family and the Dugu family are also related. What's more, since the death of Queen Dugu, the Dugu family has gradually become lonely.

It has long fallen from the first echelon of the Guanlong aristocracy.

In this drought, Dugu's family was also seriously damaged. Originally, the head of the Dugu family was still able to put on a face, but now the last fig leaf has also been removed.

Without waiting for Wang Xuanjing to send someone to inform him, this Dugu family and other Guanlong families hurried over. There are also those Hebei family gate valves, who also sent people to come.

Even Wang Xuanjing heard that these family lords began to take the initiative to marry the daughter of the clan.

You must know that during Li Yuan's period, Li Yuan privately wanted to marry his concubine to those family lords, but he was rejected by these people.

Li Shimin wanted to choose the crown princess from these families for his prince, but they also avoided it quietly, and now they sent their daughters to Chang'an one by one. What this represents, Wang Xuanjing is very clear.

Wang Xuanjing casually said that let these family lords and princes go to school together, but before they were officially considered, these people sent their children here.

It's not a formal policy at all, and it turns out that all of these people are taken seriously.

These signals indicate that whether it is the Guanlong aristocracy or the Hebei family gate valve, they have been softened.

It's not easy to make this group of old men soften.
