After staying in front of the candidate for a while, Li Yan and the other two continued to inspect the examination room, walked around, and returned to the upper floor.

"Your Highness seems to be very interested in the candidate just now?" As soon as Li Yan sat down, Shangguan Yi brought Li Yan a cup of tea and said.

Dou Xiande also saw it, so he said, "This is not surprising. Doesn't the Shangguan Chiefs also value Guan Sixing very much?"

"His name is Guan Sixing?" Li Yan asked at this time. He glanced at Guan Sixing's comments on agriculture and commerce, and felt that Guan Sixing's answer was very appropriate.

On the test paper, Guan Sixing wrote: Merchants are profit-seeking and do not engage in production. This is the fundamental reason why dynasties value agriculture and suppress commerce. This policy is the correct policy when there is insufficient agricultural productivity. However, the development of commerce can indeed promote economic development to bring a prosperous life to the people. However, this needs to be based on the fact that agricultural production fully meets the needs of the people. The prosperity of commerce in Yizhou is based on the excessive agricultural productivity in Yizhou, which provides the conditions for development for commerce and the focus of the economy begins to shift to commerce and handicrafts.

This phenomenon is a manifestation of the prosperity of Yizhou, but at the same time, the behavior of merchants should also be controlled. Too many people give up land will inevitably affect the production of food. Rich merchants can use money to purchase land in large quantities, and finally form the rich and the poor without inch of land. In the long run, they will inevitably lead to shortage of food, and the consequences of merchants controlling the lifeline of the country. Large merchants have stronger ability to evade taxes, which will lead to a reduction in tax revenue. Secondly, large merchants will inevitably seek political benefits to serve business, thus leading to the unity of government and business, or even politics serves business, manipulating the behavior of the government and seeking commercial benefits, regardless of the rise and fall of the country.

"When you go back to your highness, his name is Guan Sixing. Guan Sixing is one of the best students in the Government Affairs College. I have talked to him many times and asked him about some government affairs, and he answered them all in a good manner." Shangguan Yi was not hesitant to praise Guan Sixing.

Li Yan nodded and said, "It's indeed a talent!" It's rare for Guan Sixing to have such an opinion under the premise of being restricted by the feudal era of the Tang Dynasty. The scene he described in his article is the phenomenon of the M-country society that came from capitalism, and the chaebol controls national politics. "After the exam, you should compare the answers and score the papers. Be more flexible and not too rigid."

"Yes. Your Highness!" Shangguan Yi and Dou Xiande responded, and Li Yan was just here to go through the motions to show his importance to government affairs examinations.

After drinking the tea, Li Yan gently put down the tea cup, "After your selection is over, I will invite you to drink matcha. Don't drink this tea after making it. It's like drinking porridge, so that you can understand what tea is."

"Matcha?" Shangguan Yi and Dou Xiande were confused. They had never heard of it.

Li Yan bought a secret and said, "You will know in a few days and will not disappoint you."

"That minister is waiting for Your Highness to treat you." Shangguan Yi laughed.

After leaving the Government Affairs College, Li Yan went to the Medical College. Empress Changsun and Li Yuan have been in Yizhou for a month. With Sun Simiao's careful treatment and the thoughtful care of the nurse, their condition improved a lot.

"Grandfather of the Emperor?" Li Yan entered the clinic. He went directly to the third floor and looked into Li Yuan's ward.

When Li Yuan first came to Yizhou, he was skinny and had a month of recuperation. Li Yuan had earth-shaking changes. Now he has a red face and a round waist and a fat body.

"It's a lie! Come here quickly." Li Yuan waved to Li Yan. Empress Changsun was taken care of by Cui Yingying. The responsibility for taking care of Li Yuan naturally fell on Li Yan. The two of them have become familiar with each other over the past month. Li Yuan saved Li Yan's etiquette, which shows Li Yuan's favor for Li Yan.

Looking at Li Yan with a smile on his face, Li Yuan's eyes showed a ray of love. Ten years have passed, and the long-lost family affection has returned to him, which makes him cherish it very much. Sometimes he even wonders why his life is because his son is killed by himself and he is under house arrest. It is better to be an ordinary person and enjoy the joy of family.

"Grandfather, see what I brought for you?" Li Yan held the food box in his hand and shook it in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan sniffed it and smiled in surprise, "Small chicken stewed with mushrooms!"

Li Yan opened the food box and it contained a bowl of rice and a plate of dishes with oily flowers. It was the mushroom stewed with chickens.

After swallowing, Li Yuan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, then showed an expression of enjoyment, "It's so delicious!"

Over the past month, Li Yan has eaten food carefully prepared by the royal family. The ingredients and ingredients used have basically met the standards of modern dishes. Needless to say, the taste is, under the original ingredients, these foods are more delicious than modern dishes. After all, these chickens, ducks, fish, etc. are not grown up with feed, and they can be said to be wild.

Li Yan was slightly proud when he saw Li Yuan's expression. Li Yuan had been an emperor for no reason. He had never eaten any delicacies, but he praised the food in Yizhou. He almost changed his style to eat it every day, and then he ate it back. Among these dishes, Li Yuan only has a special liking for stewed mushrooms with chickens.

Li Yan laughed and said, "I have eaten my grandfather, don't forget to take medicine."

Li Yuan had already started eating at this time and nodded repeatedly to agree.

After sending lunch to Li Yuan, Li Yan turned around and arrived at Empress Changsun's ward. In fact, Li Yan did not come here often, but there were still many times. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate in this era of benevolence and filial piety.

"Your Highness!" Li Yan came in, Cui Yingying stood up, and in a month Cui Yingying returned to her former appearance and her mood.

Li Yan smiled at Cui Yingying and said to Empress Changsun: "How is the mother's body recovering now?"

"It's much better." Empress Changsun was much better than when she came, but her recovery speed was not as fast as Li Yuan. She was still a little weak, but various diseases had been eliminated a lot, but she was still raising her body. Sun Simiao said that she would be cured in about three months.

"I'll be relieved there." Li Yuan and Empress Changsun's illness were alleviated under the treatment of Sun Simiao. Li Yan wrote to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was very happy and praised Li Yan in his reply. However, Li Yan did not accept it modestly because he had put a lot of effort into buying various medicines and tools from modern times, and went to many stores and bought a lot of skin care products to restore their health. It was really hard work.

After chatting with Queen Changsun for a while, Li Yan asked Cui Yingying, "Where has Mr. Sun gone?"

Speaking of this, Cui Yingying smiled and said, "The two imperial physicians were pestering him to become disciples, and Mr. Sun was scared away again."

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun also laughed, and she said, "Sun Simiao's medical skills are really superb. When I was in Chang'an, all the imperial physicians were helpless about my illness, and he was just as good at it. This medical skills from Luo'anguo are indeed magical."

Li Yan said: "Old Sun himself is also an extremely excellent disease doctor among the people. He will be very happy to learn some new medical skills here and be praised by his mother."

"This is also inseparable from your contribution. The emperor tried to resist public opinion and handed over Bashu to you to manage it. After Empress Changsun's condition was relieved, Cui Yingying asked her to take her to visit various parts of Yizhou. Of course, Empress Changsun's tour was not just a tour. She looked at the city from the perspective of a ruler, and the uniqueness of Yizhou really shocked her.

The people here live a wealthy life, and the business and travelers are far better than Chang'an. There are many shops, and people who buy goods are also standing side by side, rather than deserted. The Yizhou specialty food launched by the hotels along the street attracts a large number of business and travelers to eat. According to Cui Yingying, the food here is the same as what she eats, which makes her sigh. For her, these dishes should be very delicious, and they don't think they are already ordinary people's food.

Li Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, my mother, for your praise."

Empress Changsun nodded with satisfaction. He had never seen the arrogance of some princes from Li Yan, but only saw Qianhe.

After talking for a while, Empress Changsun seemed a little sleepy, and Li Yan left the ward and said goodbye to Li Yuan.

Going back with Cui Yingying, Cui Yingying remembered something on the way and said, "Your Highness, I heard that the private school that was put on hold before is about to start over, and both men and women can go to school, and it is also divided into boys and girls' schools."

These policies are all openly. Everyone knows that Li Yan nodded and said, "That's right, there was a lack of resources before. Now, a large number of gentry flocked to Yizhou. We have also cultivated a lot of talents to allow them to conduct some simple teaching."

Cui Yingying nodded slightly and said, "Since we are divided into boys' schools and girls' schools, do we mean that we women can also be gentlemen?"

"It was natural then." Li Yan looked at Cui Yingying with some surprise and said, "Do you want to teach?"

"No, it's Zheng Binglan and Zheng Binglu. They do nothing every day now, and there is no suitable position for them in the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this teaching the right way now?" Cui Yingying said with a smile.

Cui Yingying's words made Li Yan suddenly have another idea. It is said that women can hold half of the sky, and Yizhou can't stick to the old ideas when he embroidered his flowers every day and had nothing to do and traveled to the lake every day is a waste of human and intellectual power. If Yizhou wants to develop greatly, it must make full use of everyone's potential and it is time to encourage women to go to school.

"Yes, it's a good idea. Since that's the case, it's better to run a women's university in Yizhou. If you learn new knowledge, you can be a teacher, right? You have nothing to do now. This women's university will be handed over to you and the Zheng sisters. The royal family will give you money and resources. Can you start a women's university? It's up to you to do it yourself. If you can't do it, it means that you women are not as good as men." Li Yan deliberately stimulated Cui Yingying at the end of his words.

Cui Yingying pouted, "Who said women are inferior to men?" (To be continued...)
