Two days later, Li Jian met a pale-faced, emaciated, but arrogant young man in a side hall of the government office.
The Governor of Bing Province, Shi Luo Fuhua, bowed and reported to Li Jian,""Your Highness, this person is King Luo Bin. If it wasn't for the people around you talking about Your Highness 'great achievements, he wouldn't have come.”
Luo Binwang was a man around 17 or 18 years old. When he saw Li Jian, he was extremely surprised.
His eyes were filled with surprise---how could it be a child who defeated Xue Yantuo?
This was completely different from the image of the acting king that he had heard from the people.
In Luo Binwang's mind, Dai Wang should be around the same age as him, right?
Unexpectedly, he was a 12-or 13-year-old brat. He had no hair on his mouth and was not good at doing things.
He was a little regretful. He stubbornly turned his head to the side and pretended to leave immediately.
Li Jian seemed to have expected Luo Binwang to act like this. He sized Luo Binwang up calmly and said slowly,""You are Luo Bin Wang? Why didn't you greet me when you saw me?"
Luo Binwang remained silent and looked outside.
Xu Feng, the head of the guards beside Li Jian, was furious. He said angrily,"
"Your Highness, this person is extremely arrogant. I will beat him up and let him know some etiquette!”
Li Jian waved his hand to stop Xu Feng and said,""No need, this king will make him sincerely convinced.”
Hearing Li Jian's words, Luo Binwang couldn't help but look at Li Jian curiously.
He immediately felt a shock that he had never felt before.
Li Jian's gaze was so sharp that Luo Binwang didn't dare to stay in contact for too long. In Li Jian's eyes, Luo Binwang saw a look that was far more arrogant than his own.
Was this the gaze of a child?
Under Li Jian's gaze, Luo Binwang instinctively bowed to Li Jian.""I am Luo Bin Wang. Greetings, Your Highness.”
"This king knows that you think highly of yourself and don't associate yourself with Rao Dacang and the others, so I value you. This is the ten great reform books of Bing Province that this king wrote. Take a look. If you agree with this king's political views, stay and work for this king.”
"If you don't agree with the reform measures here, then you can go to the wild. This king won't stop you.”
After saying that, Li Jian ordered Wang Yong to hand over a book that he had personally written to Luo Binwang.
Luo Binwang took it with some doubt. He read the first page, which was about cracking down on despotic forces, preventing land annexation, developing commerce, dredging the Silk Road, and consolidating armaments...
His hands started trembling!
Heavens! Wasn't this the reform plan that he had dreamed of?
There were even many reforms mentioned in it that he did not dare to imagine.
Luo Binwang's pale face began to show signs of excitement. It was like a shot in the arm or chicken blood, making him extremely excited.
"Your Highness, did you really write this?”Luo Binwang said excitedly. His tone was not questioning, but the excitement of meeting a confidant.
He couldn't believe that such a far-sighted and vigorous reform plan would come from a young man.
Li Jian nodded calmly.
After seeing Luo Binwang's reaction, he was completely certain that he wouldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"Your Highness is a young hero! Young hero! This commoner was called a child prodigy when he was seven years old. Compared to His Highness, he was truly ashamed! Haha, Your Highness! It would be even better if you were the Crown Prince!" Luo Binwang laughed wildly.
Seeing this, Li Jian nodded slightly. Right now, he also needed such stubborn people to implement the various reforms that he was about to introduce.
If idealistic talents were used properly, they could receive huge returns.
He was not like those slick bureaucrats who always thought for themselves.
And those bureaucrats were now everywhere in Chang 'an, especially in the past few years when the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful. Bureaucracy was prevalent, whitewashing the peace and deceiving Li Er with Zhenguan's rule.
The land, aristocratic families, tycoons, foreign enemies, governance, economy, and the liberation of the poor…these were all time bombs for the Tang Empire.
Li Jian not only wanted to use a talent like Luo Binwang as his own strength, but also as a new force to reform the entire empire in the future.
Relying on those muddle-headed old ministers, they could only be like Li Er now, boiled in warm water!
Luo Binwang stood on the spot and finished reading Li Jian's reform book. He had already slowly regained his calm. A sense of responsibility and mission enveloped his entire body.
At this moment, his gaze towards Li Jian was filled with respect and admiration.
How can you not rely on a monarch like this?
Luo Bin Wang was a smart man with great ambitions. He wanted to make a name for himself. In the later generations, Luo Bin Wang still helped Xu Jingye rebel at such an old age.
"Your Highness is wise and mighty. I am willing to go through fire and water to serve Your Highness!”Luo Binwang bowed with his straight body and then knelt down on one knee.
Li Jian stood up with a smile and walked over to help Luo Binwang up. He said,""Luo Bin Wang, this king still needs to rely on you to implement the Ten Strategy Reforms.”
Luo Binwang's expression was slightly awkward as he quickly said,""I have offended Your Highness previously. Please forgive me, Your Highness!”
