Lin Xuan handed the brewed tea to Old Li and the other man and did not say anything.
The Sui and Tang Dynasties were a society of identity. The aristocratic families enjoyed high prestige and status in society, even surpassing the royal family for a time.
Li Er knew this very well.
Although he was furious, he was helpless.
Ever since he had ascended the throne, he had thought that the Li family was an aristocratic family of the emperor and the ruler of the world, so he had decided to rearrange the genealogy of the family. However, the person who had revised the manuscript had actually dared to ignore his intentions and directly ranked the Cui family of Boling, a Shandong clan, as the first.
He was so angry that he flew into a rage. Even if he forcefully changed it later, it could not change the influence of the five surnames and seven Wangs in society.
At the same time, he had to admit that what Lin Xuan said was indeed the truth.
The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs were too powerful. During every imperial examination, most of them came from them. There were almost no outsiders.
In the long run, their power would be even greater, and he, Li Er, could not do anything to them.
"Then what do you think, Yi Lao Xuan?”
Then, Li Er's expression became serious and he asked humbly.
"Difficult!"
Lin Xuan shook his head after hearing this. These five surnames and seven Wangs had developed for a long time and were deeply rooted. There was no chance of attacking them.
In fact, the reason why he was in such dire straits was because he died from the exhaustion of war.
When Li Er saw this, his expression darkened. Could it be that even Lin Xuan could not do anything?
He hated those so-called Shandong clans to the point of gnashing his teeth. After all, they were too powerful. His Li clan was an imperial clan, but they were still not recognized by the Li clan of Longxi, who thought that they were too uncivilized.
This f * cking made Li Er so angry!
What was even more hateful was that these aristocratic families were proud of their nobility and disdained to marry outsiders. They even looked down on the descendants of the royal family.
"Is there no other way?”
Li Er was still unwilling. Even if he couldn't touch them, there was still a way to weaken their influence in the court, right?
"It's not Old Li. Why do you, a businessman, have to worry about these national affairs all day long?”
Lin Xuan could not help but roll his eyes at Old Li. He was just a merchant. Even if there was a policy now, to put it bluntly, he was still at the bottom.
Even Li Er wasn't anxious, but you were anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
"I say, Old Xuan, this is your fault.”
"Although we are poor people, we still have the heart to worry about the country and the people.”
Li Er said earnestly after hearing that.
"Alright, I don't have such lofty ideals as you. I'm just a salted fish.”
Lin Xuan immediately waved his hand. He did not want to listen to Old Li's brainwashing anymore and continued.
"It's impossible to touch the Five Families and Seven Wangs, but it's still possible to weaken their influence in the Imperial Court.”
"What is it?"
When Li Eryi heard this, there was indeed a chance, so he immediately asked.
"Actually, it's very simple. Start from the source. The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system, so we put more emphasis on the imperial examinations.”
"The reason why the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are so long-lasting is because they have a lot of money and a good environment.”
"If we want to weaken them, we have to start from the outside. We have to support the children of the poor families and reform the imperial examination system.”
Lin Xuan drank a mouthful of tea and slowly said.
"However, you have to pay attention to one thing. The imperial examination system is prone to corruption.”
In the end, Lin Xuan concluded. In any case, he was just taking out the textbooks from his previous life to talk about it. If Li Er could hear it, with his brain, he should be able to understand it immediately.
"Old Li, I've learned my lesson."
A moment later, Li Er slowly stood up and bowed to Lin Xuan extremely respectfully.
This made Old Sun, who was at the side, almost scared silly.
F * ck, the dignified Emperor was actually paying respects to a brothel singer!
If this were to spread, wouldn't all the officials in the court be scared to death?
Only Li Er knew the significance of Lin Xuan's words. It had indeed enlightened him.
At the same time, he admired Lin Xuan even more.
Although he was young, he was extremely talented and had dabbled in military affairs. He was even more familiar with the way of governing the country.
He was simply a genius!
With him, why should I worry about my future achievements? Why worry that the Great Tang would not prosper forever?
That was why he was worthy of his bow!
"Old Li, you're treating me like an outsider."
Seeing this, Lin Xuan immediately stood up and helped him up.
In the end, Li Er sighed and immediately bid farewell to Lin Xuan.
On the way back.
"Your Majesty, this Lin Xuan is really our Great Tang Imperial Preceptor!”
Zhangsun Wuji also completely worshipped Lin Xuan and could not help but praise Li Er.
