"Why?" Wei Youcheng asked in surprise. The teacup in his hand shook suddenly, and the sloping tea smoke began to scatter.

Wei Yi curled his white beard and said slowly: "Jiang Anyi was born in poverty and later became rich by relying on perfume and other industries, but his roots were still the common people. He was deeply influenced by Deng Haonan, the former director of Zechang Academy. He founded Huangyang Academy in Fuluo County and built Jimin Academy in Huazhou and strongly supported poor students. He advocated the importance of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in Huazhou, and was devoted to making profits for the common people. Under his rule, all industries were prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Wei Youcheng asked in confusion: "When his grandson was the ruling of Pingchun County, Bingzhou, he saw that many poor students in the county were forced to maintain their studies because of their lives and had difficulty maintaining their studies. He also supported many people. Governing the county government, vigorously developing agriculture and sericulture, and benefiting the people is the same as Jiang Anyi did. In the long run, the prime minister's position is also to govern the world and make the people rich and the country strong."

Wei Yishen smiled meaningfully and said, "It seems the same but it is actually different. There are sayings about aristocratic families in the court. In addition to the top ten aristocratic families such as us, there are also aristocratic families, general families, and even scholarly families. Have you ever heard of the sayings of a poor family?"

Wei Youcheng thought for a while and said, "After those poor children passed the imperial examination, their situation changed accordingly, becoming officials and scholarly families, and even their families were free from poverty. This is also the temptation to open a court to win scholars."

"Once these former poor students have been in official positions and enjoy wealth and honor, how many people will be willing to return to poverty. The so-called aristocratic families are nothing more than a period of generations or more than ten generations." Wei Yishen said: "There are wealth in the world. The emperor, the aristocratic families, and officials have the vast majority of wealth. How much financial resources do the people in the world have? The wealth is becoming more and more concentrated, and the people are becoming more and more poor, and contradictions are becoming more and more prominent. Turbulence will arise, the world will be in chaos, and dynasties will change. A new dynasty will be replaced by redistribution of wealth, and a new aristocratic family will appear again, and a cycle will be repeated. This is the so-called "the world will be united for a long time, and the world will be divided for a long time."

Wei Yishen's words became more and more low, Wei Youcheng's face turned pale, he tightly pinched the teacup with his fingers, and subconsciously said: "What should I do?"

"Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan were greedy for pleasure and levyed heavy taxes, which led to the Yuantian Rebellion. Today, Zi was a wise king. After ascending the throne, he worked hard to govern, with less labor and light labor, vigorously suppressed the aristocratic families, and implemented the "tax-to-one" with the goal of spreading the wealth concentrated in the hands of a few people into the hands of the people. Only when the people are rich and the country will be stable, and the world will be in a state of revival. Jiang Anyi and others took advantage of the situation to adapt to the needs of the emperor."

Wei Youcheng asked in confusion: "Since he is following the will of the emperor, why can't Jiang Anyi become the prime minister?"

"Hahahahaha", Wei Yishen burst out with laughter and said, "Cheng'er, you are the one who is in the authorities. The biggest aristocratic family in the world is the emperor. The relationship between aristocratic families is complicated, and even the emperor is difficult to straighten out the relationship, so we have to borrow the power of others to take action."

Wei Youcheng suddenly realized: "Grandpa said that the emperor intended to use Jiang Anyi to weaken other aristocratic families, and also had to worry about the stable balance and good relationships of the court, so it was impossible to put him at the top of all officials, so there would be no peace in the court."

"No," Wei Yishen said: "The emperor's desire to weaken the aristocratic family will not diminish. The aristocratic family will be further weakened in the next few years. The new one will replace the old one. Cheng'er, you are the prince consort and the aristocratic family. You are the talented one, and the emperor will be extremely proud in the future.

It may make you a left prime minister stable in the court. Zhang Yucheng's talent for helping things will most likely be used as a right minister. Jiang Anyi is like a sword. He should also prevent him from hurting the enemy. In the world, there is no chance that the emperor will use him as a prime minister. I guess the emperor will most likely let him take office and resign. As for the prince as he is in the throne, he will not be summoned by him. Jiang Anyi is called the "Erlanzi" in the officialdom. The prince is afraid that he will not be able to stand direct advice and will only let him take money for the court outside."

Wei Youcheng sighed: "It's a pity that Jiang Anyi is unique in his talent and proficient in both literature and martial arts. He is actually an unparalleled national warrior. He uses it as a blessing for the world. Is it was wasted like this?"

Wei Yishen said: "The root cause is the reason for his poverty. Not forgetting his origin is his strength, but if he wants to change the status quo, he must be an enemy of the world. Jiang Anyi cannot see through this and will be just a governor of Shangzhou for his whole life. If he is with us, he will only have more ministers in the world, and it will be just a family of officials for several generations."

Wei Youcheng shook his head and said, "I am a moral friend with him. Will I become an opponent in the future?"

"Different political views are not considered enemies, but private friends are not allowed. I just said that Jiang Anyi is a double-faced sword. He uses his edge to prevent his back from being injured. Putting aside the disputes in the court, and singing poetry and prose are also a good story in the literary world. The standard during this period depends on you to grasp. As for the way to be a prime minister, you just need to remember to plan for the world from the standpoint of the monarch, which is a good prime minister."

After talking to the grandparents and grandchildren for nearly half an hour, Wei Yishen was a little depressed. Wei Youcheng stood up with heartache and said, "Grandpa, after saying so much, grandson, I will take you back to rest. I will ask grandpa for advice when I have time."

Wei Yishen waved his hand and drank all the tea in the cup, signaling Wei Youcheng to fill it up, saying, "I am old and my thoughts are not as good as before. I will take advantage of today's sobering and explain a few more words, otherwise I may not be able to remember it if I want to say it in the future."

"I just said that I should get along with Jiang Anyi, Zhang Zhicheng, Zhu Yifeng and others, as well as your brother-in-law Zhao Shulun, they will be your helper in the future. You are the examiner of the exam today. You might as well find more useful talents and think of your arms in the future. As for Yu Zhijie, Duan Cizong and other old ministers are your predecessors, and they are all upright people. You just have to act straight and they will definitely help you."

Wei Youcheng widened his eyes and listened quietly.

"You should be careful and be careful about some people. The first one is King An of Chu." Wei Yishen's tone was a little frightened. He was the prime minister of two dynasties, and he was familiar with history books. He knew that there were many corpses under the throne, and one of them was accidentally one of them. But the Wei family stood on the side of the prince in advance, and the prince's resignation would inevitably decline.

Wei Yishen's tone returned to calm and said lightly: "It seems that King An of Chu can't shake the position of the prince at the moment, but the prince's behavior is absurd, and changes may occur over time. King An of Chu's mother is the Huang family. The Huang family is not powerful in the aristocratic family and does not have much help to King An of Chu. However, one person should be careful. Deputy Governor of the Secret Guard Huang Xi, heard that this person is the enlightenment teacher of King An of Chu and has been saved by Concubine Huang Shu. If this person helps King An of Chu, he must be careful."

Wei Youcheng had heard of Huang Xi's name, but he never took a palace eunuch to heart. He heard his grandfather mention it solemnly remember it in his heart.

"To King An of Chu, respect him and never kiss him." Wei Yishen said, "Don't think about pleasing him on both sides, that's the way to die." Although he knew that his grandson was

Not that stupid, Wei Yishen still emphasized it heavily.

"Zhou Chucun and others around the prince are just scabies and moss disease. When it is really important, you might as well give a clear advice to the emperor, how can you deal with them? It's just that Liu Yichen, Cui Yuanhu and others are children of aristocratic families with you. Can you take care of one or two or take care of them? Although the emperor is weakening the aristocratic families, the influence of these families is still there. If they are willing to help you do things, there will be less obstacles."

"I have been a prime minister for twenty years, and there are some disciples and some old officials, some people..."

The old voice floated in the deep courtyard, like a long sigh. Under the same spring light, Jiang Anyi, in Jiang Anyi's study in Taipingfang, walked behind his hands, pointing to Fan Zhichang and Li Dongsheng sitting by the desk.

In the following days, Jiang Anyi visited the officials in Beijing one by one according to the list listed by Tian Shoulou, and gathered with classmates from Zechang Academy. After the etiquette was completed, Jiang Anyi stayed silent and went to the door to ask for a meeting or to do a book. There were many people who were famous. This time, he went to Beijing, from Song Sili's unintentional words and from Tian Shoulou's conscious reminder, Jiang Anyi felt the pressure from all directions. Compared to the fearless "Erlante" nine years ago, Jiang Anyi chose to remain silent and avoid. He just wanted to go back earlier. His wife and children at home and the people of Huazhou were waiting for him.

On April 6, the emperor summoned the examiner Ma Suizhen and the deputy examiner He Yingjie in Zichen Hall according to the law, and encouraged them to gain talents for the country. Then the emperor brought the Four Books and Five Classics to select several questions, copied them by himself, put them in three secret bags, and asked Liu Weiguo to put them in a secret box, paste them with seals, and handed them to the examiner Ma Suizhen.

Ma Suizhen and He Yingjie took twenty examiners to the Gongyuan, where the governors were supervised, and nearly fifty or sixty officials, including the tutoring, receiving papers, and sealing, reading and reading, had already been waiting inside. They came to Mingyuan Tower and placed the secret box in the golden basin on the incense table, and everyone worshiped. Then the chief and deputy examiners sat on the left and right, and ten examiners on both sides. The Gongyuan Courtyard was locked by the sound of firecrackers, and the imperial examination in the first year of Jianwu officially began.

On the ninth day, the scholar entered the venue, and Jiang Anyi finally had a leisurely life. He was thinking about going to Yushi's house. Someone from the palace sent an order and asked him to meet him. When the emperor summoned him the next time, the method of farming had not been explained in detail. He had not explained the idea of ​​being the leader of the scholar, the basis of agriculture, and the emphasis on industry and commerce was equally important. Jiang Anyi was thinking about how to report to the emperor.

When I saw the driver in the imperial study, I saw Shi Fangzhen wearing a ribbon on her head and a green cloth robe. Liu Weiguo also changed into a rich man's brocade dress. Jiang Anyi didn't know what article was selling in the gourd. Shi Fangzhen smiled and said, "I'm asking Jiang Qing to come here to protect him today. I haven't left the palace for a long time. I'm just walking around while the spring is shining and checking the people's feelings."

Jiang Anyi was shocked. The white dragon fish suit was afraid that there would be an accident and he could not bear the responsibility. Just as he was about to advise him, Shi Fangzhen smiled and said, "Jiang Qing does not need to panic. The palace worship meeting is in the dark and there is no problem. I am quiet and want to move, so don't hinder my excitement."

Liu Weiguo smiled bitterly, "Mr. Jiang, Long live your mind, you can go with me. By the way, Long live your name and surname. Lord. Jiang pretends to be Long live's nephew. I am the housekeeper, so don't let me miss it. I heard that Lord Jiang is agile, and Long live's safety will be in trouble. Several worshippers are far away, and I am afraid they will not have time to rescue them."
