In response to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded, and then turned to Li Ke: "What do you think?"
"Of course I have no problem with this, but they are not a noble clan." Li Ke paused for a moment, and then said calmly.
The three people present were a little helpless, and everyone's expressions were somewhat strange. Finally, Wei Zheng sighed and spoke directly: "Your Highness, don't say this anymore. Is it important whether you are a noble or not? Or do you think that these things in the Tang Dynasty Will the courtiers object?"
"There are no outsiders here. The eldest grandson Sikong is your highness's uncle. Wei Guogong has been with your majesty for many years. Although he is a low-key man, but thanks to your majesty's tolerance, the three of us are from a well-established family. I also know that your highness has nothing to do with a well-off family. Good impression."
"The demise of the former Sui Dynasty had a lot to do with the aristocratic families, but with your current identity and your wisdom, Your Highness, you should have understood the problem very clearly. Do you think these aristocratic families still dare to oppose you now?"
Wei Zheng's expression was somewhat helpless. We have all said this, but do you still think that the powerful family will oppose you? Who dares.
"Yes, Your Highness, now that things are like this, you still don't care about the opinions of the powerful family. So far, they don't agree with the things you want to do, but haven't you done them all?" Fang Xuanling was also a little bit confused. have no choice.
"That's true, but you always have to express your stance on this thing." Li Ke said with a smile. They didn't dare to object, but they didn't dare to object, but it was another thing for them to give in. Now No aristocratic family has stood up clearly and said, I will always support His Highness the King of Qin.
Oh, there is also the Zheng family of Chang'an.
But that doesn't count. He's not a wealthy family. He doesn't even have a large branch.
"Your Highness, let me put it this way, I am from the Qinghe Fang clan. In fact, I don't have much connection with the Qinghe Fang clan, because my existence is the greatest support for their family, but do they look for me every day? No. Look, all the big and powerful families are almost the same. They rarely ask for these official family members. On the contrary, some small and powerful families need their support."
"Because every household basically lacks nothing, not money, and status only requires their family members to be officials. In this case, what do they want to express?"
"This situation will lead them to follow the crowd to the greatest extent. This is the norm."
"And this is even more true for people with five surnames and seven looks." Fang Xuanling said helplessly.
Li Ke smiled. Fang Xuanling meant what he said. In fact, the reason for this situation is determined by the system of this world. The powerful family has been passed down for too long. Unless it involves the life and death of the family, they don't have to worry at all. What, besides that, the previous Tang Dynasty had a recommendation system, which means that if someone recommends you, you can become an official.
Although there were also imperial examinations, they were all aimed at nobles and did not affect the interests of wealthy families.
As for these accountants who belong to Li Ke's business firm, their official positions are not very high. It doesn't matter whether they are from a wealthy family or not, because this is also a kind of recommendation, and His Highness the King of Qin has said so.
"Then what if I completely changed the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty and allowed everyone to participate." Li Ke asked rhetorically.
"I agree." Fang Xuanling spoke directly without saying anything.
"I agree."
"Agreed." The three people present all passed without any problems.
Li Ke: "..."
He was a little speechless, but you were more straightforward.
"Actually, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this. No one will object to whatever you do in Datang now." Fang Xuanling added.
Changsun Wuji next to him glanced at Fang Xuanling with a strange expression, then looked at Li Ke standing there, and Li Shimin sitting there with a smile, and then Changsun Wuji couldn't help but think of going there. Li Chengqian of Nanyang.
This...can't be true.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but have an idea pop up in his mind.
The moment this idea came up, Changsun Wuji thought of countless thoughts.
"Yes, Your Highness, everyone can see your contribution to the Tang Dynasty. We all know that aristocratic families are not good for the country, but aristocratic families are not fools, not to mention that aristocratic families are also part of the common people of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it? They can always see the changes in history." Wei Zheng nodded and said.
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Changsun Wuji next to him squinted his eyes and continued: "Wei Guogong, what Zheng Guogong said is true. Your Highness, you can just do whatever you want. We all follow Your Majesty and rise up in troubled times. , His Majesty has put his own safety at risk countless times in order to save the people of the world, and we, veterans, cannot hold His Majesty back."
"Your Highness, you think about the country. Is it possible that we people can still hold you back? Don't we all agree with the reforms you proposed?"
Li Ke didn't think anything of Changsun Wuji's words. The main reason was that they had expressed their opinions before, so it was natural for them to follow the words now.
However, Li Shimin, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Changsun Wuji calmly, while Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin, who were standing over there, looked at each other quietly, and then moved away as if nothing happened. sight.
"Okay, Li Ke, you don't have to worry about this. The reform of the imperial examination is a matter of time. The previous imperial examination targeted the gentry because almost all the scholars in the world were gentry. Now that you have begun to popularize schools, ordinary people in the world, Merchants, soldiers, etc. all have their children studying there, and when they succeed in their studies, the imperial examination will naturally be open to them."
Li Shimin said with a smile.
"My son, I know." Li Ke nodded. In fact, this is not the reason why the powerful family did not object, because even if Li Ke popularized so many schools, it would take at least ten years for the first batch of students to come out. Bar? There have been too many changes in the past ten years, so of course they are not in a hurry.
If something goes wrong in the middle, it will naturally be too late to object.
"If this is the case, then I will allocate some personnel to the Ministry of Finance and the Audit Office." Li Ke sighed.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Fang Xuanling immediately bowed and saluted with a face full of joy. This relieved his own work. The Ministry of Secretariat has become twelve departments, and there are too many professionals lacking in it, and finance and auditing The number of personnel missing is the largest in this area.
