This meeting is an exchange meeting for the world, nobles, and veterans of the previous dynasty. They naturally know that the people here have long taken refuge in a certain hot-tempered and cheating Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
But this meeting has to be held
Without it, one family alone would not be able to compete with the Tang Dynasty, which Li Mingda informed was on the road to tyrant dictatorship.
The emperor must know how to allocate resources, and how to rule the world together with aristocratic families.
Think about how good the era of Li Yuan and Li Shimin was. If you commit a crime, as long as it is not a heinous crime, you can just pay some money. It was like now, when they went out with their tails between their legs, they were afraid that the ubiquitous Jinyiwei would take them with a horizontal knife and escort them into the Jinyiwei Town Fusi where they would not be able to get out.
Lao Wangtou sat peacefully in his seat, holding a tea bowl in his hand and slowly eating pastries on the small table in front of him.
Inquiring into the content of this meeting, he knew that Jin Yiwei was powerful and knew that he didn't have to worry about it.
Coming here is to show your identity.
Lao Wang's family is still an aristocratic family and has not fallen. This kind of meeting is necessary for the Wang family to participate in.
It doesn't matter what is discussed in the conference room and what resolutions are made. As long as you don't speak, it doesn't matter.
Lao Wangtou was like a melon-eater, which made the people around him even worse.
The original purpose of this meeting was to brainstorm solutions to the new decree issued by Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda so that his family could continue to survive.
To put it bluntly, it is to find loopholes in the policy, to make profits or even to resist.
Now comes an old Wangtou who is known to have taken refuge with the emperor. He cannot swallow because of a fish bone stuck in his throat.

(????へ????╬)
_(:з ∠)_
Lao Wangtou pretended not to see this and continued to eat and drink as he should.
It doesn't matter whether they die or not, and it has nothing to do with the old Wang family. After all, they are just chess pieces in the hands of His Majesty the Holy Emperor Ming Zun.
What makes Lao Wangtou even more worried is that his family seems to have no hope for anyone except his granddaughter. However, his own granddaughter continued to throw away the family property to the emperor.
What a waste~!
With a little reluctance in his heart, under Li Mingda's deliberate efforts, the influence of Lao Wang's family among the people and the court began to decline, and their wealth continued to rise.
As an old fox who has survived for many years, he knows that there is a reason for every drink and peck.
After a period of silence, the meeting began.
"Everyone, it's getting late, let's get down to business."
"The new decree issued by His Majesty the Mingzun Holy Emperor this time is to recruit a group of civilian talents. There should be some people of suitable age in your family. Should you continue to study at home, or go out and participate in the election?"
"Continuing to study will miss the opportunity. If you participate, everyone will not know what will be tested."
"According to the situation of the last women's imperial examination, it can be said that hundreds of schools of thought have learned from it. We used to teach Confucianism, which is probably a bit difficult."
"If you fail too many exams, it will have a big impact on your family."
"I remember that there are professors in the new school outside Chang'an. There must be some peripheral children in your family studying there. Maybe we can let them try."
The peripheral children of ancient families were said to be family members, but in fact they were just high-level wage earner slaves. They depend on their families and rely on their family's resources to develop. On the contrary, they may support their families at some point.
For the benefit of the family, give up some ideals and beliefs for the family, and even at some point, you need to die for the family.
What sounds good is called dedication and sacrifice, but what sounds bad is called cannon fodder serving the direct family.
Most of the family members who were thrown into Xinxue were branched from the family, and very few of them had direct descendants. Even if there are, they are not well received.
These people are stubborn in their thinking, but they know how to throw some unimportant eggs into other baskets.
"Those people, maybe we can try, but we don't have enough control over them."
Someone raised this point of view, and the people around him showed a trace of suspicion.
As a big family, there are many ways to control the peripheral branches, if someone says these words. It either reveals his incompetence or has another hidden agenda.
What I am doing is that I have experienced ups and downs in the outside world, and I have never seen anything like birds and butterflies. Everyone can publish a copy of Liaozhai's Old Fox.
There are people from their own family who are studying there, but no one believes what they say.
There is a saying that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, unless you throw him directly into the pit and see if he is full to death or crawls out on his own.
This kind of method is a bit cruel. As long as you don't fight to the death, no one can use it.
Of course, Li Mingda just lifts the table and plays cards for you without following common sense. He is obviously playing mahjong. The cards include military commander, straight flush, tractor, airplane with wings, and occasionally throwing in some killer mushroom eggs and cheating.
If anyone dared to do this in front of Li Mingda, Li Mingda would definitely throw the person pretending to sleep into the pit in front of everyone.
See if the opponent is so cruel that he will push himself to death, or he will crawl out and admit defeat.
Will Li Mingda let him go if he climbs out and admits defeat?
The answer is naturally no, Li Mingda will throw him in again, and it will be over when he is exhausted.
When a person's heart is evil and his hands are evil, he cheats again. It doesn't matter what rules or irregularities you have, as long as he continues to rule the Tang Dynasty to fulfill his purpose and conquer the world towards the sea of stars.

"Brother, what you said is like your family's pill. Stop making these useless things. We are here to discuss things this time, not to listen to your misfortune."
It is true that there is an alliance between aristocratic families, nobles, princes, nobles, the elderly and the young. It is because of the rules and the pressure exerted by Li Mingda that they had to join the alliance.
Old things and the most basic competitive relationship still exist. After all, there can only be two tigers in a mountain, there can only be one bully in a street, and there can only be one emperor on the throne of the emperor.
I can have more concubines
Several big families in the Tang Dynasty have been suppressed by Li Mingda in recent years, and the south has been bloodbathed and regressed, and even many of their clans were exterminated.
For those who survive today, with the continuous popularization and improvement of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, their previous methods of using knowledge and law to collude with officials and businessmen to make money are becoming increasingly unworkable.
The living space has been severely shrunk. Without an environment for expansion, their living space will be less.
Anyone who has watched Animal World knows that once the dry season enters the African savannah, various animal groups will fight fiercely for resources in order to keep their own groups alive.
"It's miserable. It's terrible. After all, business is hard to do now. It's not like some people who just eat and drink to their heart's content."
