Fang Xuanling paused, looked at Wang Jian with a meaningful expression and said.
"When we were discussing the candidate for the post of Yuanwailang, the ministers were fiercely contesting, and there was no suitable candidate at the moment."
"I guess His Majesty intends to continue to let you hold this position. , But not so fast."
"Why do you think so?" Wang Jian asked in confusion.
Fang Xuanling stretched his head forward slightly and said in a very low voice.
"After the meeting, His Majesty told me privately not to slack off in the past few days and to be ready to be used at any time."
It must be said that Li Shimin loves talents very much. And biased.
"Please tell your majesty, my mentor, that I will not slack off because of this, and will give you a surprise for your majesty and the generals in a few days." Wang Jian stood up, cupped his hands towards Fang Xuanling and said.
"Can you tell me what surprise Jian'er has in store?" Fang Xuanling's appetite was whetted.
As a disciple, he would not say surprise easily, unless it is a major event that benefits the country and the people.
"Teacher, my disciple discovered that the hoofs of war horses are very easy to break, so I made four shoes for the horses, which can greatly alleviate the wear and tear of the horses' hoofs."
"The disciples made them for the horses. The shoe, named Horseshoe, has been successfully tested and will be mass-produced soon."
Wang Jian did not hide it and told Fang Xuanling about the horseshoe openly.
"Great! Datang can save a lot of money on war horses in the future!" Fang Xuanling stood up excitedly.
The silver required to raise a war horse is more expensive than raising three soldiers.
With horseshoes, the imperial court's financial expenditure can be greatly alleviated and it will not go into military warfare.
After Fang Xuanling got over his excitement, Wang Jian continued to ask.
"My mentor, is there any meaning behind Changsun Wuji's intervention in the East Palace?"
Wang Jian didn't care about the changes in other positions, except for the prince Si Zhi, who Changsun Wuji intervened. It made him feel something was wrong.
Although Tai Shao Si Zhi was a seventh-grade official, he was very powerful because he was the supervisor of Zhan Shifu.
Even the crown prince You Shuzi, who was promoted by Kong Yingda, was supervised by Tai Shao Si Zhi.
"Changsun Wuji has a very deep palace, and he is a relative, so he has the power to influence the ambitions of the government and the public."
"Changsun Wuji sees that you are deeply trusted by the prince, so he is just afraid that the prince will ascend the throne. Later, it posed a threat to him."
Fang Xuanling explained to Wang Jian with a solemn face, and his words revealed his deep fear of Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji is only 37 years old this year, but he is already 52 this year, and his friend Du Ruhui is in danger again.
Without the control of the two of them, he really couldn't imagine who could compete with Changsun Wuji after the prince ascended the throne.
Seeing Wang Jian in front of her, Fang Xuanling felt a little more comforted..
Fortunately, Wang Jian is here. Although this kid is a little lawless, he has a good heart.
It can be seen from his taking in the refugees and bringing them rich that Wang Jian is a person who sympathizes with the suffering of the people.
"Changsun Wuji is a difficult person." Wang Jian nodded.
When it comes to the person Li Shimin trusts the most, Changsun Wuji can definitely be ranked first.
Moreover, he is also the biological brother of Empress Changsun, and the biological uncle of the Prince, the King of Yue and others.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Changsun Wuji as the first person under the emperor.
"Jian'er, what are you going to do to get rid of this trouble of doing business?" Fang Xuanling asked, stroking his beard.
If Wang Jian wants to become an official again, he must take off his business hat, otherwise, even if he and His Majesty strongly recommend it, there will be a lot of resistance.
The authority of the New Laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot be easily destroyed. Once this bad start occurs, big problems will arise.
"My mentor, Wang Gui joined his disciples in business because the waiter from the Majiazhuang Farm Tools Shop lives in the County Marquis Mansion."
"I plan to open a place in Chang'an I want all the business people to move out of their private houses, so that my relationship with them can be completely eliminated."
Wang Tianqi and others are refugees, and they are the same as Wang Jian. There is no direct blood connection, and Chuo Potian is also a citizen of the fief.
Wang Gui and Cui Yixuan were different. They were both clansmen in the fifth server doing business, and they happened to be on the edge of the new laws of the Tang Dynasty.
"This arrangement is appropriate, but when it comes to the circulation of money, you must make arrangements to ensure that the people at Yushitai will not get caught." Fang Xuanling warned.
"Jian'er, do you still remember the red-haired middle-aged man who killed his beloved in the final of the martial arts competition?" Fang Xuanling continued.
"Remember." Wang Jian nodded.
"Your Majesty found out that he was a dead soldier of the Wang family in Taiyuan!"
"It's the King of Taiyuan again. What the hell!" Wang Jian stood up suddenly.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
The hands of this Taiyuan Wang family are really long.
The master and apprentice chatted quietly about the Wang family in Taiyuan, and then entered into daily discussions on government affairs.
The next day.
Wang Jian fell asleep again after many days.
"It feels really good to wake up naturally after sleeping." Wang Jian stretched out comfortably, feeling that his whole body was much more relaxed.
After washing up briefly, I walked to the lobby with a lazy pace.
When passing by the study, Han Xuelian was teaching Xi Qiangwei and Wang Yu to learn arithmetic. They were teaching very seriously, and even Wang Jian didn't notice when they were passing by.
In the front yard, Wang Tianyi was practicing martial arts with a long spear. When he saw Wang Jian coming, he stopped.
"Master Hou, todayAny arrangements? "
"You will come with me to Chang'an County later. I want to buy a house for Wang Tianqi and others to live in." "
After Wang Jian finished speaking, he went to the side hall, and Sister Hua quickly brought out the hot food in the pot.
An hour later, Wang Jian and Wang Tianyi arrived in Chang'an County.
The two of them searched for more than half an hour and finally found three suitable houses in Chang'anfang.
These three houses were properties of a declining noble and were used to house their families. Servant, the family is backward, so these three houses have been vacant.
"Brother, although these three houses are a little older, they are not damaged, and they have 50 rooms in total. "
"It is because I am short of money that I sell it to you at a low price of 100 pieces. If you keep lowering the price, I will not sell it. ”
The owner of the house is a fat middle-aged man. The reason why he is anxious to sell these three large properties is because he owes a lot of gambling debts.
No more debts. If the creditor gives him a beating, he might be put in jail.
"Okay, just 100 coins. "Wang Jian did not continue to lower the price.
After paying the money, the fat man readily handed over the house deed to Wang Jian, and then went to the county government office to report.
The buying and selling process was completed so quickly.
Later, Wang Jian bought a large house in Yongpingfang and renovated it to produce horseshoes.
And. This house is not far from Majiazhuang Farm Workshop, and they also have mutual care.
Coincidentally, Wang Jian just bought a house in the morning, and Wang Tianyi also returned to the County Marquis Mansion with a group of people in the afternoon.
"Master Hou, Majiazhuang Woodwork Workshop has started making Zhenguan plows. There are 500 male and female workers, and now it can make 1,700 plows a day. "
"People from the business alliance in the county come to Majiazhuang every day to rush for goods. Before I left Majiazhuang, I had sold more than 20,000 plows. ”
Wang Tianer then reported on the agriculture and breeding industry in Majiazhuang, as well as the construction progress of the paper mill.
When he left Majiazhuang, the paper mill It has just started paper production. According to Chen Gong, the first batch of paper will be produced by the end of May.
“It’s doing well. "Wang Jian nodded happily.
Ma Sanye and Chen Gong are very capable people. Under their leadership, the development of Majiazhuang has not stagnated, but has become more prosperous than before.

"Master Hou, at the request of Third Master and the villagers, I also brought 8 pigs, 100 chickens and 50 ducks this time. "
"Under the arrangement of Director Han, he was locked up in a side room dedicated to raising livestock. "
Wang Tianer thought of the villagers' madness. If it weren't for the fact that the carriage couldn't hold it, they would have stuffed more things in.
"Yes.Heartbroken. "Wang Jian felt warm in his heart.
After Wang Tianer and his party had eaten and drank enough and had a good rest.
Wang Jian called them together and sent Yin Ying I told them about Shang's dismissal from office and the subsequent making of horseshoes.
"These two officials are so disgusting, bullying the Marquis like this! ”
“Master Hou, it’s better if we move out and live closer to the workshop, otherwise it would take more than half an hour to go back and forth every day.” "
Wang Tian'er and a group of others were filled with indignation against Wang Gui and Cui Yixuan, and at the same time they supported Wang Jian's decision to let them move out.
The Marquis who bought them a big house to live in , Where can I find it all day long?
Wang Jian nodded with relief and arranged for them.
"Tianyi, tomorrow you will take everyone to clean the house and buy all the beds and quilts. Everything, all expenses are paid by the county government. "
"Tian Er, you cooperate with the blacksmith to renovate the forging shop and be responsible for the production of horseshoes,"
"Okay, Mr. Marquis. "Wang Tianyi and Wang Tianer responded seriously.
