"Go and go, and you will know what is going on with you here." Li Shimin glared at Li Tai, and then drove him away.

He went to chat with Changle again, looked at his daughter, and then questioned Li Yan and Wu Jue, which was the end.

After the end, Changle and the others left for the time being, including Li Tai and the others were also driven away by Li Shimin, leaving Li Ke and the ministers here, obviously Lao Li has something to say, and everyone else understands it very well, so naturally they should go.

"What's the matter, everyone is back, tell everyone, it's all waiting here." When everyone left, Li Shimin said with a smile.

Li Ke: "......"

No, what kind of rhythm is this? Can anyone tell me about that? How did this wait.

"Say what?" Li Ke asked tentatively.

"Say whatever you want, you have the final say." Li Shimin shrugged his shoulders and said very casually.

"Uh...... Shipping companies earned 26 million? Li Ke asked tentatively.

Li Shimin: "???? ”

Ministers: "???? ”

"Well, it seems that the total gold reserves found in Luzon should exceed 600 tons, about more than 80 million yuan?" Li Ke said cautiously again.

Li Shimin: "......"

Ministers: "......"

"Uh...... According to the statistics after my reform, Lingnan Province was able to pay about 1.27 million yuan in commercial taxes last year, and it will be able to pay about 2.6 million yuan in the whole of this year. Li Ke spoke again.

Li Shimin: "!! ”

Ministers: "!! ”

"According to the current situation, the grain bought from the real wax, the Mule Kingdom, the Jieri Dynasty and other countries can buy about 40 million stones next year, and if it is transported to Datang, the cost will be similar to the price of local rice in Datang, or even cheaper." Li Ke thought about it and added.

Li Shimin was numb, and the ministers were also numb. 40 million stones, and the price of grain transported to Datang is about the same as Datang's local rice, or even cheaper? This means that Datang will not be short of food! Even if Datang suffers a disaster, it is impossible for the whole Datang to be affected, according to the scale of the disaster in Zhenguan year, 40 million stones, enough for the victims to eat dry goods and eat for several years!

This is the annual purchase volume?!

"Uh...... If you don't speak, the ...... In fact, between Persia and Tianzhu...... I casually arranged a businessman to pretend to be a Western Turkic royal family, and then it currently occupies about one-third of the land area of the Tang Dynasty, which actually belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke hesitated for a moment and told the secret.

Li Shimin: "......"

Ministers: "......" So this is the thirteenth edition of the Tang Dynasty Territory Map?

"Well, in fact, if nothing else, my people also found a continent, there are basically no people other than some indigenous people on it, the area of the main continent is about equivalent to the current land area of my Tang Dynasty, and there are no people on it. Although there are more deserts and the Gobi Desert, there are also a lot of minerals in these places. Li Ke thought about it and said again.

"Don't talk about that, let's discuss these things later, I'm asking you to tell me what you think." Li Shimin directly stopped Li Ke, this ...... How else can we talk about this topic? So after a trip to the sea, did you find a fairy? What is this all about?

"The idea is that we should continue to work hard to expand the popularization of Datang's schools next year, the current population of Datang is not too much, but according to the progress of the year, continue to recuperate, in about a hundred years, the population of Datang can at least increase several times." Li Ke thought for a while and said.

"The increase in the population of the Tang Dynasty, combined with the current land area of the Tang Dynasty, has a very large gap for officials, but not only traditional officials, but also a large number of officials, officials with special talents, and the traditional exclusive Confucianism is not advisable."

"At the moment, the construction of the school and even the operation of the school are not a problem, but there is a shortage of teachers. So I need the gate valve family to stand up. ”

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, you see, this is not a good chat, you finally talked about something that we can answer, otherwise, who can answer what you said before?

"Isn't it simple? The representatives of the gate valve family are here, let's talk to them. Li Shimin pointed to the people around him and said.

Today, all the ministers are really complete, maybe there are not many ordinary officials, but the top officials are basically there, at least in the court.

"Popularize the school, the people of the gate valve family come out of Mr., educate the people of the world, open the imperial examination, no longer limited to the scholars to participate in the imperial examination, select the talents of the people, and recruit the world's talents, so as to open the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said lightly.

All the ministers are silent, how can they answer this?

"Your Highness, do you think it's possible? Why are they willing to do this? Wei Zheng said suddenly.

No one answered this, but Wei Zheng could take it, anyway, although Mrs. Wei Zheng was from a family of gate valves, Wei Zheng herself had long been ready to be a lonely minister, and his wife had already understood this, and basically had no contact with her mother's family, so this could really only be asked by Wei Zheng.

"In fact, from the perspective of my royal family, it is beneficial for my royal family to control the scholars, monopolize the right to study, and even monopolize the right to take the imperial examination." Li Ke said lightly, "The imperial examination, show grace to the world's scholars, and make the world's scholars happy." ”

"In fact, the first meaning of the imperial examination is neither to select talents, nor to educate the world."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Wei Zheng was also a little confused, and subconsciously asked, "Why is that?" ”

"Cage aspirants, respect Confucianism, invent the eight-strand system of articles, take the article as a prerequisite for obtaining talents, let the world's scholars enter the cage of the eight-strand system, let them study the chapters and sentences, and the scriptures are poor. In this way, these people will no longer be whimsical, and they will not be easily confused by crooked ways, and the scholars will be stable, and even if there are still people in the world who want to rebel, they will only be some grass and the like, and they will not be a big deal. ”

Li Shimin: "......"

Not to mention Li Shimin, it is these ministers, their scalps are numb when they hear it, and one person in the crowd wants to refute it, but he doesn't know where to refute it, because of the meaning of Li Ke's words, he or the family he represents benefits the most.

This person is naturally none other than Kong Yingda, one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, the son of Kong An, and the thirty-second grandson of Confucius.

Wei Zheng didn't know how to ask for a while, His Royal Highness's angle of looking at the problem, or ...... His Royal Highness's method has been thoroughly observed in people's hearts, and he has already become superb.
