Cui Mianjin and the others left the Hidden Dragon Residence dejectedly.
Needless to say, the onlookers outside knew what was going on.
"Is this the Qilin Scholar beating up the disciples of the aristocratic families?”
"The aristocratic families may have many talents, but compared to the Qilin Scholar, isn't he still too far off?”
"Of course. You have to know that this Qilin scholar was originally a disciple of the Langya Wang family.”
"Jiangnan is a land of outstanding people, and there are many talented people.”
"I heard that he has been expelled from the Langya Wang family.”
"The Langya Wang family is really blind. They actually chased the dignified Qilin scholar out. After knowing, their intestines will probably turn green with regret, right?”
The people in Chang 'an City discussed animatedly.
Stepping on the top of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, Wang Yangping's reputation skyrocketed.
Princess Li Lizhi of Changle and the Wang family of Langya became jokes in everyone's eyes.
That was the Qilin Scholar, the number one Qilin Scholar in the world.
How blind are you guys to break off the engagement and banish them?
……
Dew Palace.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yangping is indeed talented.”
Li Gang came out of the Eastern Palace and went straight into the palace.
Making Wang Yangping the Crown Prince's teacher was not something the Crown Prince could decide on his own. He still needed the Emperor's approval.
Li Er was discussing state affairs with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji.
Hearing Li Gang's words, Li Er looked up.
"How do you know?"
"This subject has seen Wang Yangping's poem in the Crouching Dragon Residence. This subject has recited it silently, and Your Majesty will understand it at a glance.”
As he spoke, Li Gang took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Li Er.
It had to be said that as a great scholar, Li Gang had a very good memory.
He had only seen it once, but he had already memorized it.
"Jun Bujian, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky…"
After reading the poem, Li Er gasped.
This poem had the air of an immortal.
Someone who could create such a poem was definitely not an ordinary person!
Was that Wang Yangping really that amazing?
Li Er then shifted his gaze to another song," Moonlit Night on the Spring River."
"Wonderful, the level of this poem is so high that it's rare in the world.”
Li Er couldn't help but become more and more curious.
Soon, he saw another Preface to King Teng's Pavilion.
"Wonderful, wonderful. Such a masterpiece cannot be written without a world-toppling talent.”
After saying that, Li Er handed the work to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Zhangsun Wuji.
"Wonderful! I'm ashamed to be unable to match such a poetic talent."
Other than daring to speak bluntly, Wei Zheng's writing skills were also the highest among the few important officials.
But after seeing Wang Yangping's work, Wei Zheng knew his limits.
Wang Yangping's level of writing poetry was far above his.
"Your Majesty, not only is Wang Yangping good at poetry and writing, but his calligraphy has also reached a level comparable to the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi.”
Li Er was shocked.
He had always loved calligraphy and knew that Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy, was a mountain that future generations would never be able to reach.
But now, there was actually someone whose calligraphy was comparable to the Sage of Calligraphy. How was this possible?
At the side, Zhangsun Wuji spoke.
"Lord Li, you must see clearly. Who can reach the height of the Sage of Calligraphy?”
Li Gang was full of confidence.
"Your Majesty, how would I dare to speak nonsense about the standard of Wang Yangping's calligraphy?”
When Li Er heard this, he revealed a skeptical expression.
The three poems and essays in his hands made him very certain that Wang Yangping had great talent.
"Wang Yangping's poems are indeed excellent, but I wonder if he really has the talent to govern the country?”
Li Er suddenly looked forward to it.
At this moment, Prince Li Chengqian, King Li Ke of Shu, King Li Tai of Wei, and Minister Liu Yile of the Si Nong Temple requested an audience.
"Quickly announce it!"
Soon, the Crown Prince, the King of Shu, and the King of Wei walked in together, carrying a curved shaft plow.
"Imperial Father, Wandering Cavalry General Wang Yangping offers this item to the Imperial Court!”
Li Er was slightly stunned.
What was this? It looked weird.
Liu Yile, the Minister of Agriculture, walked forward.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject has appraised this item and personally tested it in the fields. It can save half of the energy required to pull the plow.”
"What?"
Li Er was shocked.
Cattle were the most important asset of a country.
However, there had always been a shortage of cattle.
If this plow could save half of the cattle, then it would be very useful.
"Other than that, this item is flexible in ploughing and has extremely high efficiency. It is easy to operate and can increase the efficiency of ploughing by ten times.”
"Ah!"
In the Dew Palace, several important ministers cried out in shock.
After many years of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, countless people had died in battle.
The Great Tang was in dire need of labor.
However, the Turks in the north were eyeing them covetously, and they could march south at any moment.
The court could not recruit government soldiers, just in case.
As a result, the labor force to farm was even more insufficient.
If this thing could really increase farming efficiency by ten times…
Then, large amounts of barren land would be developed, and the Great Tang's grain production would greatly increase.
The people regard grain as the key.
With sufficient food as the backing, the lives of the people could be rich and stable.
The Imperial Court would also be free to deal with the Turks.
Thinking of this, Li Er's breathing became heavy.
"Where is the Qilin Scholar? The world's number one Wang Yangping!"
Li Er muttered again.
If this child is really talented, why can't I use him?
If he presented the Dian Yuan Plow, Li Er could reward him heavily.
However, Li Er had a deeper plan.
"Wuji, Xuanling, Ruhui, Wei Zheng, the four of you will go to the Hidden Dragon House together and ask Wang Yangping how to govern the country and pacify Rong!”
