Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

Shen Yian was the first to raise his hand and greet.

"grandfather!"

Ye Liyan followed beside and waved her hands happily.

"I'm really sorry, something happened and I came back late."

Ye Tiance said happily.

When I saw Shen Yian, I realized that he had just come back after finishing his work.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the old man and two youngsters went to sit in the pavilion nearby.

At the beginning, Ye Tiance was first concerned about when he would have a great-grandson.

He has been preparing a lot of good food for Shen Yian and sent it to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

There is nothing wrong with my granddaughter's health. Logically speaking, after so much time has passed, there should be some movement!

When this matter was mentioned, Ye Liyan's little face turned red first.

Shen Yian laughed awkwardly beside him and said, "Grandpa Ye, we can't rush this matter for now."

Many things in the future are full of uncertainty.

He didn't want his children to be born into this kind of future.

Ye Tiance fell silent upon hearing this, then nodded in approval.

The current situation is indeed not very good, and he can understand Shen Yian's thoughts.

I don’t know how long I can hold on as an old man. My granddaughter is already married, and my only wish in life is to see my great-grandson.

Shen Yian realized that the topic was getting heavier the more they talked about it, so he quickly changed the subject and curiously asked what happened during the morning court session that delayed them for so long.

Normally, if there is nothing to do, the morning court can be finished in the time it takes to stick an incense stick after completing the procedures.

"Just two things, they kept arguing."

Ye Tiance shook his head and sighed.

The first thing is the issue of population migration.

Daqian now has three more states, namely Liaodong, Guanxia and Beilin. If it wants to develop stably in the future, population migration is inevitable.

However, the number of people who migrated in the early stage was far from enough. If more people were mobilized to move north, the first problem they would face would be food.

According to the Ministry of Households' plan, at least one million people will be relocated to the three states within one year, and if the subsequent situation remains favorable, more people will be relocated.

During this period, the amount of food and silver consumed just to ensure the basic living of all the migrants was incalculable, even greater than the cost of the war with the barbarians.

There is also the issue of geographical environment. People have different physiques, and not everyone can adapt to the new environment quickly. If the acclimatization is severe, it can even be fatal.

Also, where can we find so many people who want to go north?

If you have enough food and warm clothes, who would want to leave your comfort zone and head north? Who knows how much hardship you will have to endure during the migration.

Moreover, both the court and other forces are eyeing these three states. In their eyes, they are three gold mines that have not yet been mined. They all want to make arrangements and get a piece of the pie.

This caused a chain reaction in the issue of population migration, and more and more problems emerged, even involving their military generals, and the two sides quarreled fiercely.

After hearing this, Shen Yian couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Ok.

Familiar taste.

Ye Tiance originally wanted to ask Shen Yian if he had any good ideas.

As a result, Shen Yian had already predicted it and directly stated that he didn't know much about this aspect.

Are you kidding? This kind of headache should be dealt with by the old man himself. There is no need to bring him along.

Besides, what are all those ministers in the court doing? They fail at critical moments. They are not good at getting things done, but they are good at quarreling.

Thinking about this, Shen Yian suddenly became curious about the new prime minister. Didn't he express some unique opinions?

Ye Tiance recalled that the new prime minister did not speak much during the morning court session today.

However, after the morning court session ended, the other party and the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were all retained by His Majesty. I wonder what they talked about.

The second thing was that there was a disagreement on the selection of the chief examiner for the Spring Examination for Talented Men in the World.

Shen Yian touched the tip of his nose.

Spring Examination?

An important plot driver in the novel.

Familiar taste.

The competition this year will be more intense than in previous years. If these talented candidates want to stand out, they need to rely on real talents and knowledge.

As for the unorthodox methods, it depends on how many heads the candidate and the people behind him can chop off.

In the spring examinations of previous years, those noble families and aristocratic families, especially the Murong family, the Wei family and others, would more or less put some of their own people on the list.

They did not dare to go too far and discussed the number of people among themselves.

The old man just turned a blind eye to this. He would use those who were really talented first, and would find a way to get rid of those who were just filling in the gaps later.

Several families saw this and thought there was nothing wrong with it. They were also afraid that they would be implicated in future incidents of those useless people.

However, things are different now. Since the Zhao family was destroyed, there have been a series of earthquakes in the court. Many old people have left, and many new people have come.

The old man definitely attaches more importance to this spring examination than ever before.

Anyone who acts in favoritism or corruption is openly mocking the Wuwei Division's blunt sword.

Anyway, the examiner can choose whoever he wants. Since he won’t be participating, it doesn’t matter.

Ok?

Shen Yian suddenly came to his senses. When Grandpa Ye was talking about this matter just now, he seemed to have mentioned the young master of that family. Could it be?

"Grandpa Ye, regarding the Spring Examination, I can only say what the result will be. It all depends on your personal ability. You should know better than anyone whether you are the right material or not."

Shen Yian said with a smile.

"Your Highness is right."

Ye Tiance was slightly stunned, then understood what he meant and nodded.

"Grandpa Ye, don't forget that the Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Murong family have all fallen. Do you think this year's Spring Examination will be the same as in previous years? To put it bluntly, whoever dares to cheat for personal gain in this year's Spring Examination will definitely not be forgiven by my father."

We are all family, so Shen Yian simply stopped trying to hide anything and spoke frankly.

At this moment, Ye Tiance suddenly realized, that’s right!

With so many things happening in succession, the situation in the court has changed, but the biggest change is happening right before their eyes.

Unknowingly, Your Majesty has been tightening power step by step and holding it firmly in your hands.

Your Majesty, now that there are no obstacles like the Murong family and the Wei family, can freely flex his muscles.

"Your Highness, what about the other families..."

Ye Tiance hesitated to speak.

Some people can understand this kind of thing, while others have long regarded it as a tradition.

"Grandpa Ye, I'm not a saint. I can't control what others do. Anyway, there must be consequences for every cause. Your old friends, please remind them if you can, but don't make it too loud."

Shen Yian chuckled.

To be honest, he really wanted to see the show.

Let’s see which stupid guys are rushing into the old man’s gun in this spring examination.

"understand."

Ye Tiance nodded repeatedly.

Shen Yian didn't say much about other things, such as that life is not just about exams, there are other paths to choose from, etc. Because the historical background is different, it would be difficult for people to understand if he said it.

In the eyes of the older generation, these disciples from aristocratic families normally have only two options: either take imperial examinations to become an official, or learn martial arts and join the army. In any case, they will end up having something to do with power.
