Chapter 689: Sudden Reward

Di Renjie is more low-key than before.

Originally, he was still a little complacent, but after talking to Li Kuan, he immediately put his mind right.

What about the champion of Jinshike?

If you are not careful, you may lose your career.

Especially now that he is only thirteen years old, he still lacks social experience, and if he is dug a pit, his future will really be ruined.

It's better to stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few years in a low-key manner, and first get in touch with the court of the Tang Dynasty to understand how the government works.

"Lord Wang, Huaiying entered the office so early, and you still specially tossed a Hanlin Academy out, aren't you afraid of pulling out seedlings to help you grow?"

In the study, Wu Meiniang poured Li Kuan a cup of tea and sat down next to her.

Every once in a while, Li Kuan would sort out the books in the study and convert the things exchanged from the system into books suitable for Datang.

These books are the most important property of Guanshishan Academy, and they are not visible to ordinary people.

"To be honest, the Hanlin Academy is really not specially prepared for Huaiying, but it is just taking advantage of the trend, Datang needs such an institution now; And, in the long run, the establishment of the Hanlin Academy was conducive to expanding the influence of the imperial examination. ”

The so-called everything is inferior only because the reading is high, and that is because the scholar has a list of preferential taxes and can have the opportunity to be an official.

But today's scholars in Datang have nothing to do with any tax incentives, even being an official is a bit far-fetched.

Li Kuan is not very supportive of giving tax incentives.

There will be more and more people reading in the future of Datang, and if this opens the mouth of tax incentives, it will not be able to be accepted in the future.

When the time comes, a large group of people will be attached to these people, and the tax revenue of the imperial court will be affected.

But giving scholars more opportunities to be officials is what Li Kuan has always done.

"Lord Wang, if the establishment of the Hanlin Academy really greatly improves the status of scholars and makes the popularity of the imperial examination higher, it is estimated that future scholars will have to accept your affection."

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but smile on her face.

For her, as long as she can enhance Li Kuan's influence, she is very happy.

During this time, because Li Kuan was busy after all, she slowly came into contact with some things about the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace, which made Wu Meiniang's understanding of Datang improve to a higher level.

If she was still worried about the safety of the Chu Wangfu before, now it becomes how to make the Chu Wangfu more stable.

Of course, in her opinion, the best way is to make the Chu Wangfu the ruler of the Tang Dynasty.

"Scholars should be grateful to this king, but it is difficult to say that the nobles of the family are noble. The number of officials needed by Datang is relatively fixed, and if there are more positions occupied by scholars, it means that there will be fewer people who rely on shade to enter the officialdom. Now the children of the Wang family, the Cui family, the Wei family, the Liu family and other families have also achieved a lot of results through the imperial examination, and the number of children who have entered the officialdom has not decreased significantly, so the family's rebound against the imperial examination is not very strong, and over time, it may not be the case. ”

Li Kuan was not blinded by the situation in front of him.

With the continuous reform of the imperial examination, the fairness is also constantly improving.

The proportion of Jinshi among the children of poor families, and even the children of ordinary craftsmen, is gradually increasing.

One day, they will become the main main force in the imperial examination.

"Lord Wang, there have been a lot of people who have impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, and many people have begun to stand in line. But I don't think Your Majesty really wants to abolish the crown prince, but he is very fond of His Royal Highness King Wei, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but shift the topic to the dispute over the prince.

"Mei Niang, if you look at this problem from a different angle, it is actually easy to understand. It is precisely because His Majesty has no intention of abolishing the crown prince, but he favors King Wei, that there will be all kinds of super-standard rewards. Many people thought that this was evidence that King Wei was favored and was expected to become a prince. In fact, on the contrary, this shows that His Majesty has no intention of changing the prince at all. ”

Li Shimin looked at this problem from the perspective of God, and naturally he could find many explanations that sounded very reasonable.

In fact, anyone will do it as an afterthought.

It's like trading stocks in later generations, if you are asked what stocks to buy in the market, it is estimated that you are completely confused and don't know what to do.

But when the market closes and you see the rise and fall of each stock, you may feel that those stocks that have risen sharply have already had a reason.

And you can tell those reasons casually.

"Are you saying that Your Majesty treats the crown prince and the King of Wei like an ordinary father, because the King of Wei has no chance to inherit the family property, so His Majesty, as a father, will give more rewards and love more?"

Wu Meiniang's comprehension has always been very high, and she quickly understood what Li Kuan meant.

That's pretty much what it means. As long as the crown prince does not seek to perish himself, his position as the prince is actually stable. His Majesty is not in the right position, he very much does not want to see the crown prince he set up be abolished by himself, and he does not want to be because of the prince and the king of Wei competing for the prince. However, he may be a good emperor, but he is not a good father.

The more he did this, the more wrong signals he conveyed to King Wei, and even more put tremendous pressure on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You must know that everyone's ability to withstand pressure is limited, and once this ability is exceeded, it is likely that something unexpected will come out. ”

Li Kuan felt that Li Chengqian's rebellion was likely to be earlier than in history.

Because of Li Kuan, Li Chengqian felt more pressure.

Maybe he won't have to wait until next year, and he won't be able to help but do it.

"Your Majesty is indeed a good emperor, and the people began to slowly get better after entering the Zhenguan period; I heard that the population of Chang'an City has exceeded 1.5 million, which is twice as large as in the early years of Zhenguan. ”

Accompanied by Wu Meiniang's words, a long-lost voice sounded in Li Kuan's head.

[Congratulations to the host!] Get a copy of the full set of penicillin processes and cultures! 】

This broken system, after throwing a strange character, there was no movement.

Now it was a reward that suddenly appeared, which made Li Kuan overjoyed.

Could it be that the task of increasing the population of Datang by 10 million has been completed?

It's only been two years, and the population of Datang has increased by 10 million?

Isn't that an exaggeration?

Li Kuan immediately entered the system and glanced at the progress of the task, and sure enough, it showed that it had been completed.

However, the increase in the population of 10 million was still a bit unexpected by Li Kuan.

Although the Affiliated Medical Center of Guanshishan Academy Medical College has opened many new branches in the past two years, saving many lives, it must be a small drop in the bucket compared to 10 million.

As for the birth, old age, sickness and death of the Tang Dynasty, although there should be a lot less, it will not be 10 million in two years.

Could it be that the system is the captives and slaves of Xue Yantuo, who conquered the Tang Dynasty, and is also regarded as the population of the Tang Dynasty?

Forget it, no matter how much it is, it's good that the task is done.

"System, are there any other rewards?"

[Naturally, there is! 】

"And what's the reward?"

[You have 10 more tasks!] 】

Li Kuan: ???

Ten more tasks?

Is this a reward?

This is equivalent to you, as a real estate agent, opening two orders today, and the result is to let you open 20 more orders?

What kind of logic is this?
