Li Er Grants Chu Yi an Official Position
Ever since Li Er handed the matter of setting up the bank to Li Daozong, the entire Li Residence could be said to be busy.
Chu Yi was the one who came up with this bank plan. Li Daozong was just a messenger. In order to carry it out, Chu Yi naturally had to put in more effort.
"My dear son-in-law, since you're the one who came up with this proposal, I'll need your help to implement it.”Li Daozong said to Chu Yi.
However, Chu Yi had just taken a step forward with Li Xueyan. He was in his arms with a beauty in his arms. He was in his prime. Initially, he didn't want to take on such a difficult task.
"Father-in-law, this…"
Chu Yi wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but he saw Li Xue Yan's worshipful gaze and was afraid that he would make his wife unhappy if he refused. Furthermore, there were two young masters of the Li family beside him, and Li Jingheng and Li Jingren were trying their best to encourage him.
"Younger Brother-in-law has repeatedly offered wonderful strategies for my family, resolving the emperor's difficulties. As an elder brother, I really admire you!”
"Yes, yes. In my opinion, it would be best to have brother-in-law's help in this matter. Those people in the imperial court will naturally look at us in a new light!”
Chu Yi was really at his wit's end. He couldn't help but think," If this matter was done well, his status in this family would naturally rise in a straight line. At that time, who would look down on him as a live-in son-in-law?
Besides, if he did this well, who knew what Li Er's expression would be like after rejecting him…Thinking of this, Chu Yi agreed to it.
In reality, Chu Yi had already written down the bank's circulation rules clearly in the case file. It was not difficult to implement them now.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were sent by the Emperor to assist with the bank matters, so their connections in the court were naturally not to be underestimated.
Li Daozong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, these three big shots of the imperial court, and Chu Yi's method.
In less than a month, the Royal Bank had already been established in various places. When they heard that money was deposited in the bank, not only could they ensure their safety, but they could also earn interest. When they wanted to use money, they could go to the nearby bank and withdraw it at any time. The wealthy merchants everywhere were all smart people. When they heard that there was such a good thing, they all deposited their money in.
In an instant, the empty national treasury became rich. Not only did it promote the daily operations of the country, but it also had the natural funds to hold the new imperial examinations.

"It's really hard on the three beloved ministers to implement and promote the bank so quickly!”Li Er said to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Daozong.
However, Li Er knew that Chu Yi had contributed greatly to this.
In just a short month, Li Daozong had managed to run the bank well. The money of wealthy merchants from all over the world had flowed into the national treasury. Not only did he have funds for the imperial examination, but he also had a lot of surplus money to build many basic buildings for the people of the world and shelter the poor from the wind and rain. He was very happy in his heart.
However, for some reason, he felt a little sour. Moreover, he could not express his thoughts in front of everyone, so Li Er was a little angry.
"Not at all, not at all. It's all Young Master Chu's credit. We were just running errands.”
"Such talent and courage. Lord Li, you've found a treasure!”
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui admired Chu Yi very much and couldn't help but want to praise him in the palace.
However, when these words entered Li Er's ears, they were particularly harsh. Chu Yi was Chu Yi, and he was the descendant of a rural villager. How could he have such extraordinary talent and ability?!
"Alright, since the bank has been operating stably, what do you think of the preparations for the imperial examination?”Li Er interrupted them.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Young Master Chu has already set the procedures for the imperial examinations. However, the officials who will be in charge of the administration and implementation have yet to be confirmed.”Fang Xuanling replied.
"The Imperial Examination reform of the Great Tang is more thorough than that of the Sui Dynasty. If we want to implement the reform, the current officials of the Ministry of Rites are naturally insufficient. Your Majesty, please make a decision and see which lord has the ability to take charge of this matter.”
"That's right. Zhen also thinks that we need to promote a few capable people to take charge of the imperial examinations.”Li Er nodded slightly in agreement.
"If that's the case, do you have any talents that you can recommend?”
"This…"
Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't guess if the Emperor had a candidate in mind, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"If I may be so bold, I have a candidate to recommend.”Li Daozong, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, slowly said this.
Fang Xuanling and the others all turned to look at him, guessing which lord he wanted to recommend.
"Oh, quickly tell me, dear minister. Zhen believes in your judgment.”
"Whether it's the bank or the imperial examinations, they were all proposed by my son-in-law. Moreover, His Majesty handed over the implementation of the bank to me.
Chu Yi was most likely the most suitable candidate to be the one in charge of the imperial examinations.”Li Daozong said word by word.
"I would be bold to recommend my son-in-law, but Chu Yi's ability is obvious to all. I don't think I need to avoid this suspicion. I implore Your Majesty to give him a position so that he can serve the country better!”
This Li Daozong originally only wanted to live his days honestly in the Imperial Court and didn't want to get mixed up in this chaotic Imperial Court.
However, Chu Yi was indeed astonishingly talented. If he could really become an official in the imperial court, he might be able to achieve great things one day. He would also be able to ensure that his daughter and family would live a carefree life after a hundred years.
When Li Er heard this, his expression changed slightly. He frowned slightly but did not say anything.
The other three lords, on the other hand, expressed their agreement when they heard this recommendation.
"That's right. This Chu Yi is a talent. If he can become an official in the court, he will definitely become a pillar of our Great Tang!”
"Chu Yi was the one who proposed the reform of the imperial examinations. It seems that it is appropriate for him to be in charge of this matter.”
.....................
Hearing the ministers praising Chu Yi's talent and ability, Li Er seemed to have figured something out.
"This Chu Yi has put forward two proposals for the Great Tang, and his ability is recognized by all the lords. Since that's the case, let him be responsible for this matter.”
Although Li Er was very jealous of Chu Yi's ability, he had always put the big picture first. Since Chu Yi could serve the Great Tang, he must continue to shine and benefit the people of the Great Tang!
