"I'm very kind to say. You two are really meant. I have this idea, but I haven't had time to do it well. Now I should really discuss it. Well, if you have any ideas, I'll tell you what you think first." Uncle Li took a sip of tea and said warmly to us.

Li Zhi swallowed and took the opportunity to look at me while Uncle Li was looking at the tea. That meant that I wanted me to say, I threw a pair of eyes to him, meaning that I could not say even if I beat him to death. I said that there was no benefit at all. At most, Uncle Li praised me, but you, Li Zhi, are different. Now, Changsun Wuji is already disappointed with you, no longer the enthusiasm he used to be, and can't suppress you, but at least he will not help you selflessly, say good things in front of Uncle Li, stand behind you as your backing. At this time, you should show some achievements to let Uncle Li pay attention to your political talent and courage, instead of eating, drinking, gamble all day long, and continue to play with your fence-ridden nature.

In that case, it will only make Uncle Li lose his favor and confidence in you, and thus make Li Zhi fall from the position of crown prince. This possibility is not non-existent. Li Zhi also understood my eyes and pointed at Uncle Li, and explained to Uncle Li a reasonable and well-founded strategy to reward industrial and commercial personnel, "...so my son-in-law wondered whether he could give them a glimpse of the descendants of meritorious people in industry and business as tribute students, participate in the imperial examination, and give more good talents to serve the court."

Uncle Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The expression was not visible on his face, and his eyes wandered between me and Li Zhi, but his voice seemed very solid: "Reason, give me a reason to convince me."

"I have a reason, but I don't know if I can convince Your Majesty." I interrupted. Li Zhi had done enough. It's time for me to take action. The most important thing is that I am confident that I can convince people more skillfully than Li Zhi. Uncle Li grinned and glared at me: "Oh? Then tell me, let me see if I can let you fool you."

"..." I have never said the word "scam" in front of Uncle Li. Li Zhi, who was beside me, grinned out of his front teeth and shrugged his shoulders, and was so angry that he felt very angry. If Uncle Li hadn't squatted in front of me, maybe I would have rushed up and beat the successor of the Emperor of Tang, and let our students look like a traitor, reactionaries and surrenderists who lack revolutionary will.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, you don't have to look at Zhinu. I heard it by chance from the conversation between Zhinu and Juro that day. You should think about how to convince me and all the ministers." Uncle Li smiled strangely.

"...This system is committed to solving the unification problem of the imperial court's selection of officials and the clean discussions in the villages. It is a continuation of the Han Dynasty's tradition of selecting officials and the inheritance of Cao Cao's policy of employing people. However, by the rebellion of Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Zhongzheng officials were monopolized by the "singular gentry" of various prefectures and counties. When they evaluated the rank, they favored the gentry figures, and the division of the ninth rank had deviated from the principle of family status. In the following three hundred years, a situation occurred where the top rank without poor families and the low-rank without powerful clan monopoly of the regime. The Nine-rank Zhongzheng system has always been a bureaucratic selection system to protect the hereditary political privileges of the gentry. The top rank without poor families, and the low-rank without powerful clans."

"It was precisely in order to break the monopoly of the gentry that the previous dynasty established the imperial examination system. The virtuous and the people were promoted, but did it really do it? No, because most of the scholars were geniuses, while those engaged in industry and commerce also had good talents, but they were all rejected. In the long run, the effect of the imperial examination will become weaker and weaker..."

Uncle Li smiled, but said in a tit-for-tat way: "Absurd words, my Tang Dynasty law stipulates that all officials, who have been married to the great achievements of cohabitation, have been engaged in business, are proficient in their own business, and are both professional and drunk. "Uncle Li said this, and couldn't help but stop talking. After a while, he laughed and pointed at me and scolded: "Boy, have you started to plot against me? If you strictly enforce this law, my Tang Dynasty officials will be allowed to retire."

"My father-in-law, you are too unfair to your son-in-law. The son-in-law is just using His Majesty's power to smooth logistics and increase taxes for our Tang Dynasty. How can you plot against Your Majesty?" We are telling the truth, but Uncle Li's words are not unreasonable. To be honest, from top to bottom, which Tang officials have no slight involvement with industrial and commercial people?

Not to mention anything else, three of the ten people in the army were from merchants. We are not bragging. First of all, merchants in the Tang Dynasty could not become officials, but could join the army to seek political opportunities. A considerable number of soldiers from the 16 guards of Chang'an, Tang Dynasty were born in the family of Jia. The rich soldiered and ate meat and ate meat; the strong were horns, tug of war, tug of wood, and carried iron. It was precisely because they did not lack money and silk, but were born in a low-key manner, so they joined the army to find a way out.

And as far as I know, nearly 30% of the admitted students who applied to the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty last year were merchants from businessmen. These merchants were able to advance and improve in the army with their military merits and climb to high positions. Isn’t this the same disguised teasing of Tang Lu?

That's right, it was not only the Tang Dynasty's rule, but also the Tang Dynasty's government agency. At least, Uncle Li also felt that he had lost face. Well, it would be strange if he was teased. Uncle Li was embarrassed to hide it by drinking tea. When Uncle Li recovered a little, I continued: "The good materials are not exclusive to scholars. In "Shangshu. Saying Life", Fu Shuben was just a slave, but he assisted Emperor Gaozong of the Shang Dynasty in the country and formed the famous Wu Ding Zhong Revival in history.

Huang Xian was very knowledgeable and moral in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he was born in poverty and humbleness, and his father was only a cow doctor. He was highly praised. Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty was just a horseman, but he was able to defeat the Huns for Emperor Wu of Han and become a general. Sang Hongyang was born into a eunuch, but he was an important finance minister during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han, was even more helped by the great merchants and became a third of the hegemony. Among the founding heroes of our dynasty, there were no barbarians and peddlers, and the Duke of Yingguo warriors..."

Uncle Li had to nod and admit that I was right. Among the examples I gave, none of them were from the literati class, but the merits of these people were of great benefit to the country and the people.

"This is very good." Uncle Li gave me a positive answer, but he had not yet let go. I still have to continue to fool him. Well, continue to persuade him. To increase the scope of seeking talents until Uncle Li agrees with my opinion, this is not just a problem of the regime, but a problem of the entire society. It is necessary to solve it at this time.

"The system of imperial examinations is a means to break the gentry and family control the government affairs and keep the government officials in the court. The imperial examinations are to select talents and to appoint good talents to all classes, which is beneficial to the country, and can also weaken the family's interests in national policies. Why not do things? What is the only thing that wise people seek? What is the reason why they are cheap? What is the best people who are good at men who are good at picking up the tributes of the county? Only those who are not of our clan will be mixed with Xiao Lan. How can you abandon his superiors? ... Picking gold in sand and gravel, how can you not collect them? I will save the wood in the stream and pine trees, rather than abandoning the land? But I am afraid that what I have given me will be unfair and abandoned? I am afraid that what I have given me will be unfair and despicable, and I am afraid that I will lose my morality and not despicable people..." This young master also pulled up a classical Chinese text with a gentle and kindness, and he heard it, Uncle Li and Li Zhi shook his heads.

"What the virtuous son-in-law said is very reasonable, but my Tang Dynasty law..." Uncle Li was moved and hesitated. If he didn't add fuel to the point, he would be really a novice. Li Zhi, who was next to me, quickly added fuel to the point: "Father, there are mistakes and omissions in the law, and it needs to be increased or decreased. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, have many changes refuted from the original Tang Dynasty?

However, if it is beneficial to the country and the people, use it, and if it is harmful to the country and the people, it is corrected. This is a perfect process. Children and ministers believe that the children of workers and the descendants of the market are selected as tribute students, and the miscellaneous industries of the industry and commerce should not be prepared for the fact that there are provisions to be repaired. From the peddlers of the country, they can choose the favorable people of the country, and allow their descendants to refer to the science and talent. Only after passing the exam can you become an official. It is not that you do not argue about the advantages and disadvantages. You should take it all, but only give them the opportunity to hope that the father and emperor will judge."

Uncle Li stood up and wandered around me and Li Zhi. Li Zhi and I looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Well, at least I changed the view of the two generations of emperors about the industrial and commercial class. During the feudal imperialist era, under the centralized political system, if you want to reform, you must let the dictator understand the benefits of this reform to his rule, that is, interests. Only when you have interests will he promote it.

"How can you be a wise man behave? How can you pick gold and gravel? How can you not collect it? How can you pass the wood in the stream and pine trees, and rather give up the ground with a low ground?" Uncle Li sat upright in the court with a solemn face. He was angry and severely scolded the ministers who opposed the loosening and revision of the Tang Dynasty proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince, and allowed the descendants of industrial and commercial scholars and descendants of the imperial examinations to participate in the reform of the imperial examinations.
