Chapter 949: The Problem
The School of Political Science and Economics in Wuwei Academy is the cradle for Li Ze to cultivate a new generation of Tang Dynasty officials, although the imperial examination is still being carried out, but the world is recognized that as long as you are admitted to the School of Political Science and Economics, there will be no big leaks, you can properly obtain a Jinshi status, so as to become a formal official. is not from the School of Political Science and Economics, no matter how famous and profound his knowledge is, there is a high possibility that he will lose in those strange questions in the imperial examination.
The new-style imperial examination has completely subverted the rules of the past, and the old-school scholars, even if they still want to take the path of the imperial examination, will basically not work, unless they can re-learn a whole set of new textbooks from the township to the county school, the government school, and then to the Wuwei Academy.
There are not no such people, and some people are successful, but the vast majority of old-school scholars are still ruthlessly abandoned by this era, and they have also become the most dissatisfied group of people under Li Ze's rule.
But Li Ze didn't care.
Isn't that just the saying? Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for three years. In one fell swoop, Li Ze only knew the guys who said sour things, and Li Ze didn't bother to pay attention to them. Now the new learning he advocates is constantly creating the talents he needs, and those old-school scholars who do not want to change can only be crushed by the rolling wheels of history and thrown into the garbage heap of the times.
They will soon become a very minority.
The School of Political Science and Economics has cultivated batches of new-style officials for Li Ze, and many outstanding officials have come out of it. Xu Ziyuan and Xu Xiang are definitely the best among these people.
The experience of these two people has become a legend in the academy and is talked about by all the students.
Whether it was Xu Ziyuan who persuaded Zhang Jia to ride alone and then run the Hetao, or Xu Xiang later went undercover for several years, reversing the strategic advantage over the pseudo-Liang in one fell swoop, making the pseudo-Liang collapse, these two people have left a strong mark in the process of the revival of the Tang Dynasty.
Now these two people have become important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, one is the governor of Ningxia, and the other is the governor of Zhejiang.
But Li Ze has not yet met the famous Xu Xiang.
When Xu Xiang went undercover in Mount Tai, he was still a little-known person, Li Ze naturally had no need to see him, and later, Xu Xiang's reputation became more and more famous, and the officials in the pseudo-Liang became bigger and bigger, first the prefect of Tai'an, and then to the long history of Wuning, with Tian Guofeng's defection, Xu Xiang burned Zhu Youzhen's materials in Wuning and then absconded to Yangzhou, and finally because Liu Ruyan took the two Zhejiang, he was directly appointed as the governor of Zhejiang.
"I've seen Li Xiang!" However, Xu Xiang, who was in his early thirties, clenched his fists deeply, and it was the first time he had met Li Ze so closely. In the past, when he was a student of Wuwei Academy, he was not a top performer, and he was probably the character who sat in the back row of the classroom.
"Finally meet our big hero." Li Ze laughed loudly, walked over and helped Xu Xiang with both hands: "Your story has been made into a script in the north, and it has been sung in the teahouse and wine shop, and those juniors and sisters of yours worship you very much!" ”
Xu Xiang said with a smile: "When Li Xiang gave us a lecture back then, he said a sentence that Xu Xiang still remembers deeply. ”
"I don't know which one? After I went back, I asked Zhang Gong to write and frame it, and then went to hang it in the academy. Li Zedao.
"Li Xiang said that even if it is a pig, if it stands on the tuyere, it can fly." Xu Xiangqian smiled and said: "So, I'm just that pig, but I just stand on the tuyere, although I don't have much talent, but I can also dance on the nine heavens according to the time and situation." ”
Li Ze was suddenly choked by his own saliva, and coughed dryly again and again: "This sentence, forget it, don't bother Zhang Gong." Even if you stand on the tuyere, not everyone can dance above the nine heavens, and there are many people who want to go against the wind! ”
"It's going to be shattered in the end." Xu Xiangdao.
Xu Xiang and Xu Ziyuan have completely different work styles. Xu Ziyuan is more likely to adopt Huairou, roundabout outflanking and other means, whether it is to Zhang Jia at the beginning, or later to Xue Ping, or in Hetao, in the south and north of the desert, he is to govern with a gentle attitude. This style of his is undoubtedly the most effective for Li Ze to recover those Yi tribes, barbarians, savages, or those who have been outside the rule of the Tang Dynasty for a long time.
But Xu Xiang is different. He has no shortage of means, but because of his experience, he has both the savagery of a bandit and the ability of a soldier, and he will never drag his feet in doing things. It is very suitable in a place like Zhejiang. And after he took charge of Zhejiang, he quickly quieted down this originally rich place, and the social order returned to normal in a very short time, which shows his methods.
"I've seen Li Xiang!" Behind Xu Xiang, the other two gave up their hands to Li Ze at the same time, but these two people were the two absolute bosses of Yixing Society, Yang Kai and Cao Zhang.
They were in Zhejiang, but because the advancement of Yixing Society in Zhejiang encountered great resistance, the two bigwigs came to Zhejiang together.
"Yang Kai, you've gained weight!" For the two old subordinates, Li Ze obviously seemed much more relaxed, "It seems that the food given to you by Governor Xu is too good, you don't seem to be here to solve the problem, but like you are here to recuperate." ”
Yang Kai laughed: "The problem is very tricky, I can't sleep peacefully day and night, so I have to eat several more meals every day, the food served here by Xu Du is very different from that of the Northland, it has a different flavor, and I will eat fat before I know it." ”
Cao Chang is a guy who doesn't smile, and Li Ze doesn't joke with him, he just turns his head to look behind him, and says to Li Mi who is following behind him: "Li Mi, give you a day off and get together with Cao Zhang." ”
Li Mi, who was wearing armor, shook his head: "I have a responsibility, I don't dare to slack off, Da Lang also has his things to do." ”
"This is an order, not a consultation with you!" Li Ze said with a smile: "The defense task is temporarily handed over to Li Peng, and it is always necessary to give people the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, right?" Cao Zhang, take your wife away. ”
Cao Zhang coughed dryly, arched his hand at Li Ze, and turned around and walked towards Li Yu. Standing in front of Li Yu, his face suddenly turned red again, and he didn't know what to say, but it made Xu Xiang look at a Western scene. When this vice president Cao gave a lecture to the heads of the branch of the Yixing Society in Zhejiang, he talked endlessly, and he knew that he was a person full of literature and color when he heard it, but the current scene confirmed the rumors from the outside world that Vice President Cao was a person who was afraid of the inside.
Xu Xiang naturally knew a lot about Li Yu's rumors. With such a wife, the grapevine shelves in Cao Zhang's backyard are afraid that they often fall.
After the public scene, Li Mi naturally couldn't embarrass Cao Zhang, turned his head and glanced at Li Peng, who was low-eyebrowed, and whispered a few words, and then left with Cao Zhang.
Xu Xiang's current Governor's Mansion is the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion of Qian Hongzong, which is located by the West Lake, which is beautiful and beautiful, and expresses the style of the Jiangnan garden to the fullest, and is the famous Qian Garden in Hangzhou.
The group was welcomed into the Governor's Palace, which covered an extremely large area, and the entourage naturally had already been arranged, only Li Ze, Yang Kai, Tian Bo and Chen Qiliang, who was still on crutches, were welcomed to his public hall by Xu Xiang.
Push open the window, you can see the misty West Lake, there is no cooling ice in the house, the wide open window is the wind of the lake, compared to the forced cooling, it feels much more comfortable.
The furnishings in the house are extremely luxurious, which makes Chen Wenliang's eyes widen, as if Liu Laolao had entered the Grand View Garden, looking left and right.
This is much more extravagant than Li Xiang's office.
In Wuyi, Li Xiang's office is more than half smaller than here, and there is hardly anything else in it except books, files, and maps.
"This was originally Qian Hongzong's public hall, and General Liu Da took down here too quickly, and almost everything was preserved as it was." Xu Xiang looked at Chen Wenliang and said, "So I used it unceremoniously." ”
Li Ze didn't care about these things, what he cared about was Xu Xiang's ability to govern the place. As for Xu Xiang's official voice, that is a matter for supervision officials. If there are ready-made ones, why not use them? Isn't it a sign of honesty and shelving these things? Not at all necessary.
"The Dragon Well of West Lake!" The servant served cups of fragrant tea, Xu Xiang smiled: "Thanks to the method of making tea promoted by Li Xiang, it has opened up a new source of wealth for the land of Zhejiang. ”
Li Ze smiled slightly, took a few sips of tea, and said: "What about the results, we all know, let's talk about the problem today, what do you feel most embarrassed about in today's Zhejiang?" ”
Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Clan." Different from the north, Zhejiang, this place, was originally a rich land, the land of fish and rice, these years because of the great development of maritime trade, silk, tea, porcelain and other large quantities of overseas marketing, but also made the local accumulation of a large amount of wealth, although these wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people, but ordinary people do benefit from it. Their lives are okay. It is said that if they are poor, they will think about change, and since their life is still good, they naturally do not think about change. This is more obvious in eastern Zhejiang. ”
Qian Hongzong in western Zhejiang was defeated by Liu Ruyan because of the confrontation with Liu Ruyan, and the big clans who supported Qian Hongzong were also seriously injured, and Zhedong immediately surrendered because of the festival Du Xian saw that the situation was not good, but it preserved a large number of wealthy families in Zhedong, and it has also become the reason why Li Ze is now implementing the national policy and making it difficult to move step by step.
For these defectors, you can't shout and kill at will.
"Although our land policy is slowly advancing, in many places, there is one set in the open and one in the dark, and the power of the clan has played a great counterrole in it, but on the bright side, we can't find any stubble about them, and the Yixing Society has also encountered the same difficulties. Locals who joined the Yee Hing Society were regarded as traitors and could not move an inch in the local area. Yang Kai also said.
