The prince left Chang'an. Now he is temporarily maintaining the title of prince and has to undergo three assessments within three years. If he fails to complete the task successfully and pass the assessment, his title of prince will be sent to others.

So Li Chengqian was very serious and confident because he had a booklet prepared by his sister for him, which was a treasure book. Moreover, Li Chengqian was not alone, but brought a think tank.

"That guy Li Tai must want to see my joke, but I will definitely surpass him. The position of the crown prince is mine." Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi may all inherit the throne.

Li Tai is Li Chengqian's biggest challenger, while Li Zhi is the youngest and the weakest. However, the advantage of being young is that he can survive more in theory.

If Yunyao had not participated, Li Chengqian would be executed, Li Tai would die of illness, and Li Zhi would have laughed to the end. So being a prince does not have to be capable, but he must live long. Otherwise, even the emperor would not be able to survive, let alone survive the brothers. Of course, Li Zhi was not considered a long life, but lived longer than his two brothers.

"Prince, the person who went to inquire about the news is back." After knowing where he was going to be an official, the prince had arranged personnel in advance to inquire about the local situation, including the proportion of landlords, gentry, rich peasants, middle peasants, poor peasants, as well as the number of intellectuals, local prices, wages, agricultural products, local specialties, terrain, water conservancy, river depth, width and narrowness, flow, and the power of the local clan.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle. Only by mastering enough information can you remain as unmoved as a mountain and not be deceived by the people below.

When you arrive at a local area, you must also check the local chronicles to understand the local customs and customs, landscape anecdotes, famous allusions, etc. But this has to be done step by step, and the last step is to do practical things and gain everyone's recognition.

Of course, three years was too short, so Yunyao directly told the prince that Shang Yang's reforms were only ten years before he saw the results. It was very difficult to see the results in three years, but we cannot stop doing it because the time was short.

When Shang Yang's approach was severely opposed at the beginning, there were many people who complained to the King of Qin. But ten years later, they were all those who supported the reform. Because the profiters of the reform took shape in ten years, and the number exceeded those who had previously opposed the reform.

Three years are indeed too short, but after all, it was a prince's inspection. If the time is too long, various problems will inevitably arise.

"The prince seems to be too serious. I think the prince is just a temporary solution for His Majesty. It is probably not a good thing for the prince to be so serious." The prince's think tank also has different views. Some people believe that the prince is just to weaken the prince, and it is not really necessary for the prince to make any great achievements.

"I also think the prince should not take it too seriously. After all, there are many troublemakers. If the prince really starts doing things, he will inevitably be troubled by the troublemakers. Not only will the matter not be done, but his Majesty will also be caught by the handle."

These officials had only one goal, which was to ensure the position of the prince.

Others didn't say anything. After all, what the prince should do, the think tank can only make suggestions, but not make the final decision. Judging from the prince's appearance, he really wants to show his skills. If he raises objections now, it will make the prince bored, so it's better to keep quiet.

The entire think tank either opposes or is silent and has no support. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible to achieve results in three years, and it is simply an excuse for the prince to go to the county.

They did not know that the prince went down to the county not only for the sake of father-son relationship, but also to prevent large urbanization. Of course, this goal cannot be announced, because the ministers are all supporters of large urbanization. If the emperor proposes to oppose large urbanization, then the ministers will annoy him to death.

So without announcing, just using the prince as the guide, the city's resources will naturally flow.

After hearing Yun Yao's differences between scholars and nobles, Li Shimin fully agreed with his daughter's statement. The nobles had ownership of the land, while the scholars had only the right to use the land. Therefore, the nobles would find ways to stay in their own territory for development and construction, but scholars were more inclined to live in cities rather than bringing money back to their hometown to invest in construction. Over the long run, the city became bigger and bigger, but the foundation of the Tang Dynasty became weaker and weaker.

Li Shimin still had his own pursuits. He did not choose to accept the big urbanization that was beneficial to him. Instead, he considered the century-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty and made arrangements first, so as not to be unable to turn things around when he got it.

When the problem is really discovered, it is impossible to solve it. When the problem arises, there will be no more strong monarchs like Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, and the interest groups will be stronger, and it is impossible to do something. Therefore, a founding monarch must plan the development direction of the country and have foresight so that the country can be safe and sound.

As for the monarchs behind, they basically follow the steps. If they really want to reform, it cannot be solved by taking off a layer of skin.

Therefore, a great man must see that he must be prepared enough after a hundred years. Li Shimin wants to be a great man. Since Yun Yao reminded him, he must also see what is possible after a hundred years. He wants to make arrangements for the Tang Dynasty. Only when the Tang Dynasty lasts, the royal family can last forever.

In fact, Li Shimin thought that Yunyao's talent was the most suitable for being an emperor, but unfortunately she was a daughter. Yunyao had the talent to see a hundred years later and had extraordinary execution ability. To be honest, Li Shimin was not as old as her in Yunyao. But women could not inherit the throne, so they could only help their brother.

At this time, Wu Cairen, who had been in the palace for four years, seemed to feel something. He looked at the weather and said, "It's going to rain. I don't know if the fashion show can be held on time." She was eighteen this year. Not long after Yunyao left Chang'an, she entered the palace and became a talented person. She was given the title of "Wu Mei". At the age of fourteen, she was already a veteran palace fighting expert. She was firmly in the palace and gained a place.

Li Shimin said that women cannot inherit the throne, and Wu Zetian would definitely not agree after 48 years. She could ascend the throne at the age of 66 and reign for fifteen years. It can be said that she has been waiting for four emperors to die during this period. Isn’t it beautiful?

Li Shimin wanted to become a great man who saw a hundred years later, but he could not see the women of the Tang Dynasty more powerful than he thought. However, if Yunyao could live in his eighties or even become a centenarian, it would not be certain whether Wu Zetian could ascend the throne. After all, Yunyao's influence was constantly increasing. By then, the Tang Dynasty would be the world of two women, and no one could imagine the scene.

It started raining on the day of the show.

Yun Yao specially chose a rainy day because the performance she prepared requires rainwater to achieve the best effect. Yuan Shoucheng calculated that there was rain today, so he specially reported a fashion show on rainy days. He originally wanted to use artificial rain to create fake rain, but the effect was not good, and real rain was more exciting.

The guests' carriage can be driven directly into the shed. The shed is made of brick floor, not muddy at all, and there is also a brazier. It doesn't feel the moisture at all, which makes people shout that they are thoroughly considerate.
