Can't show it! Can't show it! Li Ke warned himself a few words in his heart, and then spoke in embarrassment.
"Well, in fact, it is necessary to honor my father, but the furniture used in the entire Daming Palace is not a small number." Li Ke looked embarrassed.
"Your Highness, it is not for me to decide this. This is what your Majesty said." Fan Liangyi, the wine minister of the Imperial College, said helplessly. He was an unknown official in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he could not offend Li Ke, but Your Majesty, he I can't even afford to offend you.
He also came here with the intention of making a meritorious service.
"This... I can agree to it, but Fan Jijiu, this Imperial prince supervises students' performance in Li Taixue and other students, and there are also some foreign students. There must be many among them who are unable to serve. I wonder if you can give me the list of all these people? Come on. At that time, people were also sent to me." Li Ke said with a troubled face.
Yes, there were many foreign students in the Tang Dynasty in this era. From the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had established diplomatic relations with more than 400 countries, so it was called the real Ten Thousand Nations Coming to Korea. At that time , almost all countries are proud to come to Datang to study.
For example, the countries of Japan and Korea next door.
If Li Ke remembers correctly, there are examples in history of Japanese people who studied in the Tang Dynasty and eventually became officials in a feudal country. From this, we can see the open attitude of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ke had no other ideas. I want to meet some Japanese people.
Don’t get me wrong, he doesn’t have any thoughts about the women over there, because the Japanese people in this era are not comparable to those in later generations, and they are extremely backward, and they are still basically in the period of transition from slave society to feudal society. He just has a lot of thoughts about the women on that island. Interested in silver and gold.
Although the Japanese islands are lacking in resources, some mineral resources are rich. For example, silver, gold and coal are also good, but coal is useless, but silver and gold are. In this era, there is more silver and gold, and it is also possible to establish a gold and silver standard.
"This... is no problem." Fan Liangyi hesitated. It is indeed possible. There are many of these people. In the end, they will just be a small official or some pen officers. There is not much progress. Of course, it is for Li Ke. It doesn't matter, to be honest, it's really difficult for these people to arrange.
"Also give me the more down-to-earth nobles, even those who offend others. I'm not afraid here. Anyway, I just need them to be literate." Li Ke said quickly.
"Okay!" Fan Liangyi breathed a sigh of relief, not too much, not too much.
"Give me the addresses of some literati who have returned to their hometowns, and I will send people to recruit them." Li Ke said again.
Fan Liangyi; "..."
"good!"
"That's it. You go back and tell my father that I've wrapped all the furniture in the Daming Palace for him! I've also wrapped some of the palace's glass for him!" Li Ke said with a smile.
"Then I'll take my leave." Fan Liangyi didn't want to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left. He always felt that His Highness the King of Shu was too scary.
When Fan Liangyi left, Li Ke was a little happy. In this case, he would have a large number of scholars at his disposal. There were about five or six hundred scholars in this group alone.
With these scholars, some of my publicity plans can also be implemented.
"Old Seven!" Li Ke said loudly.
"Your Highness!" A middle-aged man in his thirties appeared quietly. When Tian Meng was away, he was the person in charge here.
This man was also saved by Li Ke, who almost starved to death with his son. His surname was Sun and he was the seventh child, so Li Ke called him Lao Qi.
"Arrange accommodation and eating places for 600 people, first in Shuwangzhuang, and then prepare relevant equipment in the Welfare Industrial Zone, so that refugees and beggars can be recruited."
"yes!"
I had previously received the task of collecting these refugees and beggars from Li Shimin, but it had not been implemented yet. In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, this was completely normal. There was nothing I could do about it. The productivity was low and the efficiency was naturally not high. .
Li Shimin thought it was normal that Li Ke could complete the preparations and gradually start work within a month or even two or three months.
For those who have adapted to the fast pace of modern life, if you were thrown into ancient times, you would probably be bored to death.
The main reason why we didn't start working is that there are not enough literate people. Li Ke actually has a lot of them to his name, but these people are spread all over the Tang Dynasty. They all have very important jobs. They can be transferred, but there are free jobs. , why use your own?
These refugees and beggar Li Ke will all have great uses in the future, and their information must be registered, which requires a large number of literati.
The next day, when it was almost noon, Li Ke waited for the person he wanted to wait for. There was no way that these literati came here on foot. It was impossible to give them enough horses to ride on, and there was no relationship between them. There was not such a high degree of discipline, which meant that the literati of the Tang Dynasty were relatively in good health.
After Fan Liangyi finished handing over to Li Ke, he directly handed Li Ke the roster and then turned around and left. He ran very fast, because Li Ke had already heard many people in the crowd scolding him.
Obviously they were very unhappy with Fan Liangyi's behavior of leaving them to Li Ke. They believed that they were the next prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty who would save the world and the people.
Li Ke first glanced at the roster in his hand. There were not as many as he thought. There were only 422 people. These people were originally studying in places such as Taixue. In fact... they said they were studying because there was no placement for them. , I have learned everything that needs to be learned.
For these literati, the trick Li Ke gave those soldiers didn't work. It can't be said that it didn't work at all, but it required a long-term process and was not something that could be solved in the short term.
With ordinary people, you have to talk to them about their treatment and benefits; with these intellectuals, you have to talk to them about their ideals.
Because the Tang Dynasty treated these literati very well, with free food and accommodation, they had no pressure to survive.
"Quiet!" Li Ke clapped his hands and said loudly.
Although these scholars were critical, they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Ke.
First of all, although the status of the literati in the Tang Dynasty was not low, it was not that high. You can understand this if you look at Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing and others. Sun Wuji and others are not at all.
If it was just because of this, these scholars would naturally not be so honest. The second reason was naturally because of Li Ke's own deterrent power.
His Highness the King of Shu's name, I dare not say anything to stop Chang'an's children from crying. After all, Li Ke is not a bad person, but the cliff can silence all those who dare to be stubborn in Chang'an.
Do not believe? The eldest son of the grandson family used to be so stubborn, but now he doesn't even dare to appear in front of His Majesty the King of Shu.
