Chapter 607

Perhaps, if Qin Mu got angry, they would never be able to return to Jiangnan again.

Who knew.

Qin Mu just smiled indifferently and didn't get angry.

It's just that Great Qin's imperial examination even listed farming as an exam topic, which is truly incomprehensible!

"Old Li, this is precisely the stupid part of your emperor Li Er."

Stupid?

Is he talking about him?

Li Er was so angry that he bit his lip hard.

This place is not suitable for an outburst.

Qin Mu didn't seem to notice Old Li's expression at all.

He continued.

"In this world, ninety percent of the people are farmers, and everyone relies on farmers to grow food to live."

Huh?

Li Er originally took this to mock Great Qin.

"Why can't farmers participate in the imperial examination?"

He didn't expect Qin Mu to actually chat about the Great Dao of the world on this topic.

Qin Mu patted Old Li on the shoulder and said to him earnestly.

"Old Li, do you know where you are stupid? The deeply rooted idea in your concepts is that being an official is enjoyment, having privileges, and having money!"

"Wanting to hold the life and death of the lowly grass people in one hand!"

Li Er was stunned.

Isn't that exactly it?

When he rebelled against the former Sui, wasn't it to have more privileges and be able to control the life and death of more people?

No one risks their life to rebel just to do charity!

Qin Mu stretched his hand forward, pointing to the vast sea of people on the street.

"You treat the common people like sheep, like pigs to raise, thinking every day about fattening them up to eat meat. From the very beginning, you put the common people on the opposite side of yourselves!"

"And my Great Qin wants to use the people to govern the people, and those who have a skill can be officials."

"Tell me, which one will the people like more?"

This principle is simple and easy to understand.

Li Er had been an emperor for so long, how could he not know?

But words are easy to say, things are hard to do.

He was framed by the aristocratic families and simply had no opportunity to do as Qin Mu did.

No!

Li Er suddenly realized that Qin Mu had a deeper meaning!

"Does Your Majesty of Great Qin mean that once farmers have the opportunity to be officials, then my Great Tang people, tens of millions of farmers, will all flock to Great Qin?" Hahaha...

Qin Mu looked up and laughed.

This guy Old Li is not too stupid, he finally figured it out.

This is a means of winning over the people.

"Old Li, Old Fang, you don't need to worry too much, they won't all run over."

"After the people of Great Tang have run away almost completely, your per capita land occupation will increase on a large scale. There will always be some people who like to bury their heads in farming and stay in Great Tang."

This is a bit heart-piercing.

By the time the people of Great Tang have run away almost completely, Great Tang should also be destroyed!

Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling, his eyes full of questions...

Fang Xuanling understood that Li Er had truly been poked in the heart by Qin Mu.

These past two days, Changle suddenly released an album that spread throughout Changancheng.

Li Er naturally saw his daughter's album too.

He even put in the effort to learn all six songs, singing them with great joy.

But as he sang, he cried.

His daughter was not this happy when she was by his side before.

Now, living in Qin Mu's harem, she radiated a brilliance never seen before!

What does this mean?

Princess Changle told everyone with her own personal experience that this means it is happier in Great Qin than in Great Tang!

Because he already had this idea.

So, today Li Er was so easily heart-pierced.

Qin Mu's moves are linked together, making it impossible for people to defend against.

Fang Xuanling cleared his throat.

He spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the situation the foreign minister learned is that Great Qin's imperial examination this time only admits three hundred people."

Fang Xuanling is worthy of being Fang Mou, hitting the nail on the head in one sentence.

Li Er's spirit was lifted, and he realized.

It turned out that Qin Mu had been deliberately angering him all along.

The situation was not as serious as he said at all!

Thanks to Fang Xuanling's reminder, he was awakened in one word.

Qin Mu smiled, not explaining.

He took the two of them directly to the West Market of Changancheng.

"Even if the number of people participating in the imperial examination is large, what's the use?"

Last time he took them both to the East Market.

Also a commercial street, the West Market is very different from the East Market.

The goods in the East Market are more biased towards luxury goods, mainly patronized by high officials and nobles.

While the goods in the West Market are more popular and cheaper, and the shipment volume is also shockingly large!

Before entering the West Market, they saw horse-drawn carriages transporting goods coming and going, arranged in two long lines in an orderly manner.

Truly carriages like flowing water and horses like dragons!

Li Er said in surprise.

"How can there be so many carriages? Could it be that the horses from the cattle and horse market before were all sold here?"

Seeing this grand scene, Fang Xuanling was also as surprised as Li Er.

In the Great Tang era, the business here was far from being this good!

Looking at the streets outside the West Market, the flags of various sizes hanging were almost all escort agencies or car companies.

And every shop door had recruitment notices posted.

Fang Xuanling seemed to understand something?
