Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

　　 Chongwen Temple.

　　 Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

On the 　　long case, there are essays from ten candidates in the imperial examination hall examination.

　　 Li Si decides in his heart, which candidate is the champion, which candidate is the second place, and which candidate is the tang...

　　 This imperial examination is the first palace examination of the Tang Dynasty and it is of great significance.

　　 "Book of Etiquette."

　　 Li Si leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair.

　　 Upon hearing the words from the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately bowed and said: "The minister is here."

　　 "Through my verbal envoy, Wang Mu's article, it can help the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the country, be a champion, Yang Yan's article, can suppress Confucianism, be the second place, Chen He's article, can calm the people's heart, and be a probe..."

　　 Li Si was in the Hall of Chongwen and personally designated the top three in this imperial examination.

　　 After Li Si finished speaking, he got up and walked out of Chongwen Hall.

　　 Outside the Chongwen Temple.

　　 Ten candidates saw the emperor come out and knelt down and bowed.

　　 Until the emperor completely left, the candidates dared to get up.

　　 "Have your majesty announced the ranking?"

　　 Several candidates looked at each other.

at this time.

　　 The Book of Etiquette also came outside the Chongwen Hall.

　　 "Biography of your majesty..."

　　 The Book of Rites repeated the emperor's words.

　　 named the champion, second place, and Tanhua in public.

　　 Chen He and others cried with joy.

　　 The wedding night of the bridal chamber, when the title of the gold list.

　　 Now they are the time for the title of the gold list!

　　 In this case, who is not happy?

　　Wang Mu, as the number one scholar in this imperial examination, is indeed worthy of excitement, but what Wang Mu thought in his mind was his own article.

　　 In Wang Mu's view, since he was ranked No. 1, the emperor must also believe that the Tang Dynasty's decency made the system abolish.

　　Datang, I'm afraid the sky will change...

　　 Thinking of this, Wang Mu not only didn't feel frustrated at all, but had a high morale.

　　If he can take advantage of this opportunity, he can make great achievements...

　　 His Wang Mu might be able to go straight up!

　　 The other eight candidates, although they are not the top picks, are just a little disappointed.

　　 For those scholars who participated in the palace examination, even if they did not rank in the top three, but they have fame and fame, they can finally get a job...

　　 It’s just that, compared with the champions, second-place winners and Tanhua, their official careers are of course much smaller.

　　 Soon, under the arrangement of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites,

　　 Ten scholars entered the officialdom of Datang in turn.

　　 Among them, the champion, the second best, and Tanhua were naturally left in Chang'an.

　　 As for the others, they were sent out to various places in Datang, working hard to improve their qualifications.

　　 Wang Mu and others, as the first disciples of the emperor, were directly transferred to the court and allowed to join the civil and military officials to participate in the early court.

　　 Such honors made Wang Mu very excited, and he became more determined in his heart to devote his life to Datang...

　　...

　　The imperial examination is over.

　　 Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity.

　　 "Come on, call the household department Shangshu."

　　 Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and spoke.

　　The imperial examination has temporarily come to an end, and now Li Si finally has time to deal with other things.

　　 Li Si gave Hubu Shangshu two tasks in total.

　　 One is to change Datang’s land taxation from an even-field system to a per-mu tax.

　　 The second is to change the commercial tax and cancel the Datang checkpoint tax.

　　 In Li Si's heart, these two are important sources for enriching the Tang treasury.

　　 The former is a long-term consideration, while the latter can be effective in a short time.

　　 after a moment.

　　 Hubu Shangshu got his majesty's order, put aside all matters on his hands, and rushed to the palace.

　　 Outside the Hall of Longevity, Hubu Shangshu took a deep breath and walked quickly into the Hall of Longevity.

　　 "The old minister has seen your majesty."

　　 Hube Shangshuxing said in a loud voice.

　　 Li Si waved his hand and said casually: "Aiqing get up."

　　 "Thank you, Your Majesty."

　　 Li Si put his right hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, looked at the Hubu Shangshu, and said, "Aiqing, do you know why I called you?"

　　 Li Si wanted to see if Hubu Shangshu had given him anything to his heart.

　　 The Household Department Shangshu heard the emperor’s question and did not hesitate to say: "Return to your Majesty, but for the land reform and the cancellation of the checkpoint tax?"

　　 Li Si nodded slightly: "How is Aiqing doing these two things?"

"Your Majesty, the cancellation of checkpoint taxes, once announced, it has been sought after by merchants all over the world. Checkpoints in various places are being cancelled. At this rate, within one month, within the territory of Datang, there will be no more taxation of checkpoints. ..."

　　 Hube Shangshu said immediately.

　　 "Not bad!"

　　 When Li Si talked about this, he turned around and asked, "What about land reform?"

　　 "Check the land in the world, cancel the tax exemption privileges of those family members, and collect taxes per mu. How is the implementation?"

　　 Li Si's eyes fell on the Hubu Shangshu.

　　 As for the cancellation of the checkpoint tax, Li Si was not worried about what would go wrong.

　　Tianxia tax is in the hands of Datang.

　　 Under the order of the emperor of Tang Dynasty, who would dare to resist?

　　 But land reform is not necessarily the case.

　　Although, in Li Si's view, those real rich family members will not be unhappy with the emperor because of this little money...

　　 But, maybe someone will jump out.

　　 Hube Shangshu heard His Majesty's words, his heart tightened.

　　 Hube Shangshu is thinking about how to answer your majesty’s question.

　　...

　　 Shangshufu of the Ministry of Industry.

　　 Gongbu Shangshu sat on the main seat, frowning.

　　 The emperor leaked the gunpowder and put him in charge of the investigation. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Ministry of Industry to wash away his grievances.

　　 In the case of ironclad evidence, the emperor is still willing to give the Ministry of Industry a half month to investigate. What kind of grace is this?

　　 Even if the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is not for himself, he must be worthy of his majesty's trust.

　　Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry vowed to restore the truth of the matter in the shortest possible time and give your Majesty an explanation.

　　 However, as the investigation unfolded, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry found that there was no clue.

　　All the people involved in the development of gunpowder~www.NovelMTL.com~ The Ministry of Industry Shangshu thoroughly checked it, but it did not find any doubts.

　　 The whereabouts of these people, what they did every day, and what they said, Shang Shu did not find any problems.

　　 This result makes it difficult for the Ministry of Engineering to accept.

　　Because, if these people have no problem, doesn't it mean that the problem lies with Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?

　　 The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry never thought that when the incident was finally checked, he found himself again...

　　 "No, besides these people, the Forbidden Army is also on the scene..."

　　 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry was slightly surprised.

　　The gunpowder field developed by the Chang'an City Foreign Ministry was guarded by the imperial imperial army.

　　 "No, the Forbidden Army is your Majesty's person. The Forbidden Army protects the palace. The selection is extremely strict and there is absolutely no possibility of any problems."

　　 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry rejected this idea.

　　 "If the problem is not with me or with the Forbidden Army, could it be said that the gunpowder in Chang'an City did not come from our Ministry of Industry?"

　　 As soon as I thought of this, a look of surprise appeared on the face of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

　　 "Come on!"

　　 "Get your cart and horse ready."

　　 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry immediately got up and walked outside Shang Shu's Mansion.

　　 There was a carriage waiting at the door.

　　 Gongbu Shangshu got on the carriage.

　　 "My lord, where are we going?"

　　 The groom couldn't help asking. .

　　 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry sat in the carriage and said, "East Factory."

　　 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry is now going to the East Factory to verify one thing.
