After eating the tomatoes mixed with sugar that Yang Anning fed, Li Ke asked smoothly: "Have Priest Yuan Tiangang and the others been here?"
"I've been here and given guidance." Yang Anning nodded.
"Well, that's good. Have you finished reading the articles that came back from the first essay competition? Have you selected the right ones?" Li Ke looked at Yang Anning and asked.
The essay competition I told Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng during the Chinese New Year last year lasted for about a whole year. At the end of this year, letters were sent back to Chang'an City one after another. These letters were all sent through Yuelai Trading Company. Sent back.
After receiving it, Li Ke opened it and read part of it, because when he asked Li Chunfeng and others to write the letter, they explained that they did not need to consider the writing style, just use the most common vernacular. How the common people spoke, they wrote how.
So Li Ke read some of the articles he received and had to say... They are indeed professionals. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng obviously know who is more suitable for this. There are many Taoists in Taoism who travel the world, and these Taoists are very eloquent. It is very outstanding, they only need to directly convert the stories they tell some common people every day into words.
Li Ke has read about a dozen copies, and can only say that, not to mention the professional knowledge in it, the story is also quite legendary, and theoretically all of these things can be adapted. To be honest, some of the stories Li Ke has read are very similar to the myths and stories that were circulated in some places when he went traveling in later generations.
It's just that there are more details, and many Taoist priests have also added a lot of scenes of subduing demons and slaying demons, which is very soul-stirring.
A total of more than a thousand manuscripts were received, and some Taoist priests wrote more than one. Li Ke read part of it, but he did not read the rest, but later gave it to Yang Anning and others to read.
"Some of the selected parts can be adapted. I discussed it with Madam Li Yan. Madam Li Yan said that some parts of these articles need to be changed."
"For example, your highness asked us to highlight the fact that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of these demons and monsters. Therefore, Miss Li Yan suggested that from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty will gradually conquer the world, and then these demons and ghosts will appear in those areas that have not yet been occupied by the Tang Dynasty. The place."
"Because there is no protection of the national destiny outside, demons and ghosts are rampant in these places. Until my army of the Tang Dynasty came to establish laws, protect the people, and protect the national destiny, these demons and ghosts naturally receded." Yang Anning said.
Li Ke nodded, yes, Li Yan still understands him. This is the effect he wants. In this era of extreme lack of entertainment, the influence of these works will far exceed ordinary people's imagination!
"I also have a work here called "Ghost Town" that I wrote and rehearsed. It will be staged together with "A Chinese Ghost Story"." Li Ke thought about it and took out another script. This script is purely Li Ke created something original.
It can't be said to be original. If it were placed more than a thousand years later, this "Ghost Town" script would actually see many homogeneous stories. After all, whether it is an online novel or various film and television works, there are similar plots.
But in the era of the Tang Dynasty, this was extremely novel. If this thing is passed down, it will also be a classic drama in the future.
Li Ke did not copy this script. He compiled the story in his own mind, but Li Ke himself was not sure which works he borrowed from. Anyway, he could find too many general story routines. He himself I don’t even know where the plot that pops up in my mind comes from.
"Yes!" Yang Anning nodded. She was a little confused. Why did His Highness emphasize that he wrote it? The previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" was also written by you. No one else wrote these things, not you. Who could that be?
Lying here, enjoying Li Changge's massage and watching Yang Anning and the others rehearse, Li Ke fell asleep at some point.
When he woke up, the rehearsal was already over. If he fell asleep, it would be impossible to continue here.
After stretching and getting up, Li Ke told Yang Anning and the others, and then left calmly. He will go to a shopping mall for a meal later, and then go sit on the Goulan tonight. These women who have stumbled are quite pitiful. , Li Ke wanted to give them a chance and find them a job.
Compared with later generations, the young ladies in the hook bar of this era can really be called women who have fallen behind. After all, none of them is voluntary.
When Li Ke returned to Youjian Mall, in the imperial city, various yamen were constantly busy. In this month or so, although the Military Department and the Ministry of War were the busiest, after all, the reforms involved hundreds of thousands of people, but in fact Other departments in Shangshu Province are not idle at all.
The restructuring of many departments and the transfer of power between them have made the thirteen departments that were originally split from six departments very busy.
Originally, there were a large number of literati in places such as the Imperial College, but nothing major happened. They were either studying and compiling history in the Hongwen Hall, or spending their days bragging and spanking. As a result, after the restructuring of the three provinces and six ministries, these people gradually became They were all used.
Without him, the lack of personnel is too severe. Many of the original ministers have become ministers, and some vacant positions such as ministers can only be filled by these newcomers. It can only be said that these literati have reached the sky in one step.
Now the restructuring of Shangshu Province is basically on the right track, and the busiest period has passed. Fang Xuanling immediately felt the benefits of the department restructuring. First of all, professional matters were handed over to professional people.
One department is only responsible for one thing, which means that their energy is more concentrated. Just like the former Ministry of Civil Affairs was responsible for finance, farming, taxation, etc., but now it is only responsible for financial expenditure and tax collection. Fang Xuanling feels, When Datang's work becomes busier in the future, a separate tax department can be established.
The advantage after the positions are subdivided is that it is not easy for these people to get mixed up in their work, and there are also adjustments, such as Duan Lun in the past, whether it is civilian farming, the return of farmland to forests proposed by Li Ke, or the migration of people, disaster relief and remediation, and weapon forging , engineering construction are all matters belonging to their Ministry of Industry.
But now, agriculture is handed over to the Ministry of Land and Resources, engineering construction, river dredging and other projects are handed over to the Ministry of Construction, and he only needs to be responsible for the overall construction and deployment of Datang Industry. Duan Lun feels a lot more relaxed every day. , In fact, he has a lot of work, but because he doesn't have to worry about completely different tasks in his mind, the intuitive feeling is that he is relaxed mentally.
What I have to say is that Sun Simiao has been appearing in Chang'an City because of Li Ke's influence, and has also changed the fate of many people. For example, Liu Zhenghui, who should have died of illness at the end of Zhenguan 9, is still alive and kicking. This time he also served as a state-owned asset. The arrival of Sun Simiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, made his life span much longer than in history, allowing him to still do his best for the Tang Dynasty.
