Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1005: The concubine is an honest man

After the small meeting with Liu Bagou and the others, Li Xuan directly called Lei Wan in, and then asked the military to come up with a plan to organize refugees for militarization.

When Lei Wanchu heard Li Xuan's statement, he felt a little surprised!

No wonder he was surprised, after all, strictly speaking, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the military. It is not that the Tang Dynasty has not carried out reclamation before, and there are many ways.

However, whether it is to organize refugee settlements or to organize immigrant settlements, it is a matter of civil affairs and has nothing to do with the military.

But now, Li Xuan is asking the military to come up with a plan to organize refugee settlements.

So he was a little puzzled, and immediately said: "Then, are these young refugees who are recruited also considered soldiers?"

The question Lei Wan asked was very important. If he was a soldier, it would not be a good thing for the military. It would reduce the impression of the soldier and his social status. The soldiers in the Tang Dynasty had a relatively high status.

In the DPRK, the generals overwhelmed the civilians. Even ordinary soldiers, after they retired and returned to their hometowns, could still be patrol officers, not to mention officers. If they retired, they would either be in the reserve division. Continue to serve as an officer, or directly professionally serve as a local civilian official, and the overall social status is relatively high.

This can be seen from the fact that the conditions for recruiting soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are so strict now that the entrance exam for the martial arts school is getting harder every year.

But if it is not a military membership, then the military has no legal reason to manage these refugees.

Because the Tang Dynasty has always implemented a strict separation of the military and the government, the military cannot intervene in local civil affairs, and in turn, the civilian officials cannot dictate the military affairs.

Regarding this issue, Li Xuan naturally had his own plans, otherwise he would not have called Lei Wan over.

He said: "The young and strong people in the settlements are listed in the military, and they are compiled into the establishment of the settlements, and implement comprehensive militarized management!"

It is inappropriate to directly include these young refugees into the regular army or even the reserve force, but it is also inappropriate to treat them as soldiers, because in that case, the military has no way to manage them.

Therefore, Li Xuan planned to use the colonization regiments in the prisoner of war camps as samples to develop a colonization system.

The follow-up is not only the newly recruited young refugees, even those prisoners of war in the existing prisoner of war camps, if they are not willing to leave the army in the future, they can directly transfer to the settlement establishment.

When Lieutenant General Lei Wan heard this, he wisely did not continue to ask too many questions, but said that he would organize people to work out the regulations of the reclamation group.

After all, this is something that the Son of Heaven personally ordered. At the same time, as a military general, Lei Wan also knows that the security situation in Shaanxi, and even Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other areas is not very good. There is no need to worry about any storms, but high-pressure pure military means is not a long-term solution.

After Lei Wan went out, Li Xuan started the second meeting. This time, the meeting was simple, discussing the opening of several ports in the north.

The Tang Dynasty has already conquered the northern provinces, but there are currently only five trading ports in the Tang Dynasty. In order to develop a balance, it is also to develop the economy of the northern coastal areas, and indirectly promote the Tang Dynasty to the northern areas, especially It is under the control of Youzhou, Hebei, and it is necessary to support the development of the coastal economy in the north.

The commercial port is the best policy support for the development of the coastal economy!

Internally, it has long been agreed that Tianjin, Hebei, and Jiaozhou, Shandong Province are planned to be the latest two commercial ports.

As for a series of policies for commercial ports, the Tang Dynasty also has a mature plan, basically just copy it directly, so there is not too much turbulence in this matter, and it is just finalized.

After this meeting is over, three hours have passed, and the palace exam is about to end!

Before the end of the palace exam, Li Xuan went back again!

With the end of the palace exam, there will be intense grading in the follow-up. Although it is said that it is the palace exam, Li Xuan will grading the papers in person, but in fact, Li Xuan can't really read all the papers.

In the test papers he read personally, only the top ten in the general examination in the two subjects, and the top ten in the palace examination, if there is a top ten in the general examination among the top ten in the palace examination, it will be postponed and selected later. .

The ministers who marked the papers would send a total of forty papers to Li Xuan and let Li Xuan read the papers in person.

At the same time, considering the questions in the palace exam, strategy theory is the main thing, and strategy theory is more subjective. Unlike the exam, the answers are relatively fixed, as long as you study well enough, you can pass the exam.

As for the palace exam, it is mainly based on policy theory!

Therefore, in order to ensure fairness as much as possible, each test paper will be cross-marked by five examiners, and the cross-marking is anonymous. Finally, the average score is used for preliminary ranking. As for the top 20 of each subject, It was decided by Li Xuan himself.

After the officials who checked the papers cross-checked the papers, they presented Li Xuan with forty test papers. Li Xuan read them one by one and thought it was okay, so there was no accident.

Basically, Li Xuan doesn't pay attention to the follow-up matters. After all, the imperial examination is held every year. For this kind of thing, there is a whole set of procedures. Li Xuan only needs to ensure that the annual imperial examination is gradually improved according to his plan. That's fine, he doesn't care about the specifics, and he doesn't have so much time to take care of them.

After finishing the imperial examinations, Li Xuan also had time to deal with Princess Huichen's marriage, and immediately summoned Princess Huichen's fiancé to see him.

And when he saw this person, Li Xuan also knew why Empress Dowager Bai chose this person to be Princess Huichen's husband. This person's body shape is quite incompatible with Princess Huichen's, with a strong body and a slight beard. The Chinese character face, this figure and this appearance are still in later generations, and it is more than enough to go to the United States to be a tough boy star or something.

Well, but there is no hope of wanting to be a big hit in the country, because the aunts in power in the entertainment circle of later generations all like the delicate, beautiful and fair-skinned little fresh meat.

The brawny guy in front of him is obviously a tough guy, and he doesn't fit in with the creampie!

This young man who looks like a tough guy is restrained in front of Li Xuan and looks very honest, just like the honest child that Queen Mother Bai said!

Moreover, although the person looks like a tough guy, his words are gentle and elegant. As soon as he speaks, he knows that he is from a scholarly family.

To be honest, Li Xuan felt a little wronged for such a person to match Princess Huichen!

However, Li Xuan is more aware that this is only the surface of this person. In fact, this young man who looks strong and handsome is not a fuel-efficient lamp. According to the secret investigation by Hantong, this person is in order to become the Tang Dynasty. The first concubine used a lot of small tricks.

But those were all innocuous things, and Li Xuan didn't care much about them.

This person's surname is Lan and his name is Zhangyan. He was born in a family of gentry in Jiangxi. His father, Lan Quanbin, was a former Ming Juren. After Wang Shi entered Jiangxi, he was recruited as an official. With such an old man, he shouldn't come here to be the concubine.

why? Because the laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that consorts were not allowed to hold other public positions except for those in the ancestral government, and neither civil or military positions were allowed.

Because of this rule, any scholar who is a little ideal and wants to enter an official career will not be willing to be a concubine.

The Lan family is considered a scholar of the eight classics, Lao Tzu is the prefect of the fourth rank, and most of these sons are going to take the imperial examination and enter the official career.

However, Lan Zhangyan is not the eldest son of the Lan family, but the second son. At the same time, this person seems to be well-spoken, but this is only the quality that an ordinary scholar should have, but in the field of science, it seems a little insufficient. .

In the former Ming Dynasty, this person could not be admitted to the juren examination. He waited for the arrival of the Tang Dynasty. When the imperial examination was relatively loose two years earlier, he was able to get a juren.

But at that time, the Tang Juren was actually worthless. Basically, a scholar with a solid foundation went to participate in the imperial examination. The Juren was guaranteed to be successful.

The competition is very small, and it is completely different from the fierce competition now.

Later, he participated in several general examinations, all of which were well-known, and even failed to pass the examinations of Guozijian and Jinling University.

Although Lan Zhangyan is not good at reading, his eldest brother is very good. Although he has not yet participated in the general examination, he has already entered the Guozijian College of Literature. Given time, it is very easy to pass the examination.

In other words, with his eldest brother's bright future ahead, the Lan family has no hope of him entering an official career~www.wuxiaspot.com~ let him eat and die.

But he is not reconciled!

There is no hope for a normal official, you let him run as an ordinary clerk in the capacity of a person, and he will not be reconciled to being a middle-level official for a lifetime. .

It is unacceptable for most of the scholars who are interested in the imperial examinations and enter the official career, but he is average in reading, and he knows that he has no hope of being admitted to the jinshi. A concubine, come to a glorious life.

No matter how valuable the later Consort of the Tang Dynasty is, but as the first consort since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how bad it is, it can't go there!

There are many people who have the same idea as him, but he used a lot of small tricks to pass the test all the way, and finally successfully entered the line of sight of the Queen Mother Bai, and was selected by the Queen Mother Bai as the husband of Princess Huichen.

Li Xuan briefly chatted with him for a quarter of an hour, but after chatting, he was a little disappointed. This person does not seem to be as shrewd as Hantong's investigation report said. Could it be that he is really an honest person?
