The news that Tian Yu had successfully hunted a big kun was quickly delivered.

Compared with the last time, after Tian Yu killed Da Kun by mistake, Chu Yu anxiously came over and asked Liu Tai to go back to the palace to avoid the disaster, and even panicked to let Liu Yao take the robbery, but this time when this report was sent to Liu Tai, he was much calmer.

"King, General Tian has hunted the big kun and sent the body of the big kun to the sailor base in Jiaozhou Bay!" Chu Yu handed the report to Liu Tai as he spoke, accepting the fact that the big kun could be hunted.

What else could you do? What happened to the big kun, Wang Hou Xu, if the first encounter with the big kun was just an accident, but now Tian Yu has used the fleet to plunder the big kun, and the mystery of this kind of thing has disappeared.

For a creature like a human, as long as you show a blood bar on anything, it will be somewhat ungodly, and as long as the god can be broken, it is basically a matter of time before the god is killed.

"It's a pity that it's too far away, and the fresh big kun meat can't be eaten, so I can only use ambergris and light the kunxiang lamp!" Liu Tai sighed and put the matter aside.

In the future, wait a few more years, wait for the navy to retire, wait for the retirement of fishing boats that hunt whales, and even villages dare to use these retired navy and ships to hunt whales in the ocean mountain, then the whale industry chain will be truly born.

With the birth of the whaling industry, the Han's pursuit of exploring the ocean will be infinitely magnified.

Therefore, Liu Tai encouraged this matter.

Li Tai is not afraid that the whales will be fished out by the Han people, after all, the whole West started from the killing of the first whale to advocate not whaling, but it lasted for a full 300 years, and throughout the entire industrial revolution.

In contrast, even if the Han really developed the whaling industry in the future, he was afraid that the Han would not be able to perish if these whales perished.

Even in Liu Tai's view, if whaling can make the Han Dynasty from an agricultural civilization to a civilization that expands outward, then Liu Tai can't ask for it.

In comparison, I don't even care about people other than the big man, so I can't care about whales.

So after Liu Tai looked at this matter, he said: "You tell Tian Yu, and the giant whale will let him deal with it on the spot."

The imperial court wants the whale's ambergris and oil, and as for the rest, he will leave it to deal with himself! ”

"No!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Yu saluted Liu Tai respectfully, and immediately went to reply to Tian Tai.

"However, if there are more whales hunted, there should be more requirements for the fleet, so that it should be more convenient to attack the Jin Court in the future!" Liu Tai silently calculated an account in his heart, and more or less supported Tian Yu's behavior now.

At this time, Liu Tai said to Xi Jian, who was not far away from him, "Daohui, how is the arrangement of the exams?" ”

Xi Jian came over when he heard Liu Tai's words, and saluted Liu Tai: "King Qiqi, this exam, the construction of the school building in the examination room, and the preparation of teachers have all been prepared, just wait for the lifters to come over for the exam." ”

Xi Jian continued to introduce Liu Tai: "Respect the king's will, this exam is divided into three exams, one is the "Book of Han", the second is the "Nine Chapters", the third is the policy theory, and after the third exam, the number of 360 scholars will be screened, and then the palace will be examined!"

After the palace examination, they will arrange the ranking, parade the streets, and hold a banquet to encourage them! ”

Liu Tai heard Xi Jian's words, nodded and said, "After all, we have to select talents from all over the world, and we must not ignore them." ”

When Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words, he saluted Liu Tai solemnly, and immediately began to go down to make arrangements.

In fact, at this time, Yecheng has become very lively, even if it is snowing in the sky, it cannot hide the fireworks of the whole city, even if it is winter, the whole city also gives people a reassuring warmth.

First of all, it is necessary to thank the large-scale use of ondols and the large-scale mining of coal.

Although wood is more popular than coal in terms of keeping warm, people can feel the use of wood to burn the ondol, and the ondol will last longer.

However, because Liu Tai himself has always advocated the use of coal, especially some open-pit coal mines are mined by foreign races, and it is also unrealistic to rely only on wood to supply the heating of the entire Yecheng, so coal as a heating material in Yecheng is still very popular in this winter.

Liu Tai even predicts that with the opening of the Yongji Canal, there will be faster and more convenient water passage between Tangshan Coal and Steel Division and Yecheng, and coal may really overpower wood and become a more mainstream energy source.

For the people of Yecheng, they can feel the changes brought about by Liu Tai's arrival the fastest.

Especially after the autumn harvest, they looked at the heavy grain in their hands and were extremely glad that they could eat a full stomach this year.

Those temporary conscripts who dug the Yongji Canal, picked up soil, and moved bricks during the slack period of farming, while saving their own food, accumulated salt stamps that could grit their teeth and buy and sell cloth, which was enough for them to buy a new set of clothes when the New Year was approaching.

The vast majority of those people who have been transferred from temporary conscription to regular conscription can be assigned a small but belonging house to their own during the Chinese New Year this year, so that they can stay and do professional maintenance work for the Yongji Canal in this area with peace of mind.

In the future, they will be needed to dredge canals, build roads, move bricks and tiles near Yecheng, and so on.

It can be said that although this year has been hard, after watching Liu Tai come to Yecheng, the people have eaten and dressed, and even those ruffians who are fighting with people have to walk around when they see the people.

Because the ruffians have bullied you, as long as you talk to the officials called chengguan who patrol the streets, the ruffians will be arrested by the government immediately, and I heard that they will be sent to the coal kiln on the side of Taihang Mountain for mining!

This has made the security of the entire Yecheng and even the entire Hebei much better, and made the people more convinced of Liu Tai.

To be honest, Liu Tai may not be as good as these people think, but when he really started to build the supporting facilities around the Yongji Canal with Yongji Canal as the core, Liu Tai immediately found that he was very short of people!

But the problem is that the agricultural population itself cannot be moved, even if the migrant workers are all doing the same farm work, they will only go to the Yongji Canal to help when the farm is not working, not to mention the workers who are already working on the Yongji Canal, then they can't move at all!

But many supporting facilities, especially the mining industry, in this era and very much need someone to fill in their lives, then they can only suffer the three treasures of manpower in the feudal era, son-in-law, prisoner and ranger.

First of all, it is a son-in-law, eating soft rice, even Liu Tai is very envious, but as a husband, how can he eat soft rice and hard food, how can he be rich? Isn't this a break in the rules of the way!

What if others follow the same path as you and don't eat soft rice with a lower limit?!

What should I do if it arouses the jealousy of the majority of male compatriots, thus making the whole society unstable?!

The most important thing is to reduce the number of laborers engaged in the production industry?!

So don't talk nonsense, even if you are rich, you have to move bricks for me, otherwise you will pay me taxes and pay a large amount of ransom every year.

In the face of paying money and people, basically all families choose to hand over their sons-in-law to work.

After all, for these families, all they need is a son-in-law to pass on the family blood to themselves.

As for the life and death of the son-in-law, it really doesn't matter, he has done a few jobs until he dies, that is, his fate should be like this.

If he didn't die...... How could it be that they didn't die, in order to curb this bad wind, Liu Tai would never allow them to go back to eat soft rice in peace.

The idea that if you want to find a rich woman, as long as you endure the steel wool ball, you will be able to be stable for the rest of your life, will not work under Liu Tai's authoritarian iron fist, just like this, the wind of the whole society has swept away a lot.

As for the prisoner and the ranger to a certain extent, they are one after all, if the ranger is a little less moral, he is almost a scoundrel who meets and wanders, and if the moral level is a little higher, he will also become an underworld force on one side.

And if there is no place for them in the society, Liu Tai will naturally turn a blind eye, but now that the whole society is waiting for them to reclaim, how can they be allowed to have nothing to do in the countryside, and even have time to disturb the production of normal people.

So whether it's a scoundrel or a ranger, as long as you commit a crime, you will definitely be arrested and put in a prison cell, and the punishment cannot be said to be severe, but at least when these people are caught, they want them to work in the coal kiln for a few years.

Of course, because Liu Tai has only been here for a year, these rangers and scoundrels think that relying on the family behind them, not to mention the open side, they can at least reduce the punishment, but they are also very arrogant.

At this time, it was not Chen Yuanda who managed it, but transferred the case to Gou Chun.

For Gou Chun, he just wants to grab the tail of these wealthy families, but Liu Tai will follow the rules, and he can't be punished without guilt, so that he can't let go of his hands.

But these scoundrels and rangers didn't instruct you families to raise dead soldiers like them, Gou Chun just asked these families plainly, "Say, do you want to learn from the Sima family to raise three thousand dead soldiers!" ”

These wealthy families decisively cut off these rangers, and even sent their own family members who were responsible for befriending these rangers and scoundrels to Gou Chun, and said from the bottom of their hearts that their family really didn't have this mind.

He is just a small tyrant in Hebei, is he worthy of raising the dead? What to learn from the Sima clan, how can you slander my family's reputation out of thin air.

In short, these scoundrels and rangers were originally waiting for the people behind them to fish for themselves, but the people behind them were sent in and they were also raiders, and the offense was heavier and worse.

Suddenly, one by one stopped squeaking, and nothing let them know more than this that the sky north of the Yellow River had changed.

The order of the entire Hebei land is naturally much better, and the people are naturally more satisfied with Liu Tai's rule.

Especially this year's snow, unconsciously increased a number of bathhouses, even in winter, as long as a few five baht, you can take a hot bath, for the people at the bottom, it is completely unimaginable.

At this moment, Zheng Luo and Wang Du came out of the bathhouse together and came to the attic on the second floor of this large bathhouse, but the two of them were also eating hot pot while sighing:

"Ziqi, I originally thought that after Yecheng was taken down by the King of Han, even if there was a Taoist king, this Yecheng would also need to be depressed for a while, but I didn't expect that in just one year, I could see the peaceful scene of the lights entering thousands of homes now."

"The king adheres to the rules of troubled times, although he is a little harsh on the family, but he is quite sympathetic to the people or the poor.

Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the king holding this examination, how could you and I have the opportunity to feast on food here and wait for the imperial examination! ”

Wang Du picked up the chopsticks in his hand at this moment, sandwiched the small hot pot in front of him, and sighed while eating.

When Zheng Luo heard Wang Du's words, he opened his mouth and sighed:

"Ziqi, you are from Beihai and know the habits of the King of Han, but you need to be admitted to this imperial examination, and you will definitely be reused by the King of Han.

And I'm from the south of the Yellow River, I don't know if I can be admitted to Jinshi, and I don't know if even if I do, Han Wang will be reused for me! ”

"Jiejun, you are brilliant, especially in agriculture." Wang Du said with emotion,

"I once listened to Mr. Wang's class in Linzi, if Mr. Wang can see you, I'm afraid I will feel that the "Qi Min Technique" I wrote will be written by a descendant who can write it!"

"Qi Min Technique"? Could it be that you are a disciple of Mr. Wang Pei?! Zheng Luo couldn't help but sigh when he heard Wang Du's words.

You have to know that your father doesn't know what means to use, and even handed over the latest version of "Qi Min's Technique" sorted out by Wang Li to read it, so Zheng Luo admires Wang Li quite a lot.

"Where did I have this luck, but I was just able to listen to Mr. Wang when he was lecturing!"

Wang Du couldn't help but shake his head, although he was not a family, he was somewhat more than a poor family.

Because under Liu Tai's intervention, there are only two kinds of study styles in Qingzhou, one is to study agriculture, the other is to study history, and the other four books and five classics are not nothing, but you learn what you learn, but no one knows whether you can be an official.

Anyway, Liu Tai does not eat Confucianism, but is very pragmatic to respect the "Book of Han" and the "Qi Min Technique" compiled by Wang Li.

The students trained by Wang Li are basically able to directly serve as officials, although they are only some specific things for officials, but in the end there is a way to rise, so Wang Li's lectures are still very popular.

Wang Du and Wang Duo may really be related if they push it for hundreds of years, but now Wang Du can only observe.

And although Wang Du is not a poor family, he is not a big family, at most there are a few books at home.

Of course, because of this, when Liu Tai swept the family in Qingzhou, Wang Du was exempted from the attack.

But in the same way, because Wang Du's family is too small, he wants to take the road of filial piety, but he has no path.

Of course, if Wang Du wants to take the road of military history, then Wang Du can go directly, but Wang Du doesn't like it.

At this moment, Wang Du was confused about how he should go, and then he heard that Liu Tai was promoting the imperial examination, so he came over to try it.

After all, although Liu Tai is quite ruthless to the family, he has a good sense of Liu Tai for the cold family.

The most important thing is that Qingzhou has been governed by Liu Tai for many years, and basically everyone who came out there knew Liu Tai's temper, so many people came from Qingzhou when they heard the news.

At this moment, the two saw several horses galloping in front of them with a quaint and tall carriage, but the carriage had the word "Chu" on it

"This is the carriage of the Chu Changshi family!" The two glanced at each other, somewhat envious of the carriage.

Because what this carriage represents is Liu Tai's mastermind, Chu Yi's Chu family!
