Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang very blankly. He originally guessed that it was someone under Huo Guang who had such a special ability, but he didn't expect it to be Sang Qian.

Liu Tan was a little surprised: "Why did he still draw the map? And... is he looking for you?"

Huo Guang nodded, and said with a smile: "Sang Qian said that he only recently learned about the map technique established by His Highness. For this matter, His Highness, please allow him to go out and visit the four corners of the northern border country, and present a map when he returns."

Liu Tan was very puzzled: "What's the matter?"

In the past two days, there were a lot of things. He was busy formulating the content of the exam, and he didn't have time to manage Sang Qian. What's more, Sang Qian didn't die these days, so he simply let it go.

Why is Sang Qian asking to leave now?

Could it be that Huo Guang did something?

Huo Guang met Liu Tan's suspicious gaze and said calmly, "Did your Highness forget that you asked him to find something?"

Well, it's not a thing yet, fuchsia rocks, limestone, and kaolin.

None of these three have been found.

Originally, Sang Qian didn't have any ideas, but turned around and Wei Buyi took people to supervise the construction of the palace and dug out the copper mine. In an instant, Sang Qian felt pressured.

Even if they don't want to obey Liu Tan's orders, no one will have trouble with political achievements.

Someone discovered a copper mine, and he wandered outside for many days without gaining anything!

The most important thing is that these days, he has suffered enough.

Originally, the little man who was raised and raised carefully in Chang'an, even if he went out, he would travel around the mountains and rivers. As a result, he had to go out in the wind and sand every day. When he looked up, he could see the desolate Gobi. Occasionally, he saw some people on the Gobi Plants that are hardy to survive are a surprise.

How could Sang Qian survive such a day?

Originally, he wanted to grit his teeth and persevere, but seeing that the coin kiln was built and ready to start work at any time, and he was still eating sand on the Gobi, and the day to go back was nowhere in sight, Sang Qian's whole mentality collapsed.

He even wondered if Liu Tan deliberately found an excuse to embarrass him, just to make him retreat in spite of the difficulties!

Sang Qian was also a little arrogant at first, thinking that the more you make things difficult for me, the more I have to persevere. Anyway, I was sent by the court and the crown prince personally chose, how could I back down so quickly?

However, after a long time, after wandering in the Gobi for a period of time and harvesting ulcers in his mouth, Sang Qian compromised.

He finally realized that it would be of no benefit to compete with the King of the Northern Territory under such circumstances, so Sang Qian prepared to come back.

Fortunately, he was very interested in Liu Tannong's "Jianli Huafang" and "Six Body Drawings" before.

He himself is not dissatisfied with Liu Tan, the only dissatisfaction is that Liu Tan does not delegate power like other princes and kings.

So when he was on the Gobi, he also tried to use these two methods to draw pictures.

At that time, what he thought was that as a captain, marching and fighting naturally required detailed maps, so he directly drew the geography along the route himself.

Now it finally comes in handy. He can find an excuse to say that he has found a real hobby, which is much better than saying that he can't handle this environment. Even if Sang Qian doesn't want to lose face, he can't lose face to his father!

After Liu Tan knew the whole story, he couldn't help laughing. He thought for a while and said, "The captain was sent by the court, how can we replace it easily? If Captain Sang really can't support it, I will allow him to take a leave of absence." Just leave the matter to Li Buyan and Wei Buyi to handle it together."

Huo Guang replied: "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Sang Qian wanted to leave?How can it be.

He was chosen by Liu Ju on purpose, why did he choose him?Isn't it because he has nothing to do?In other words, he is not as capable as Huo Guang, so he can be easily suppressed by Huo Guang.

Now that he's gone, it's hard to choose a suitable one. No matter what, he has to last until one of Li Buyan or Wei Buyi is capable of being the captain.

Huo Guang added: "He has not been here for three years, and he is not allowed to leave according to the regulations. Your Highness need not worry."

Well, it's impossible to get out of here unless he escapes himself.

After solving Sang Qian's problem, Huo Guang said: "The minister came here not only for him, but also for what His Highness said...the...examination? Well, the examination."

Oh, this is more important than Sang Qian, Liu Tan said quickly: "Sit down and talk."

After sitting down, Huo Guang said: "Your Highness, Liangzhou and Shuofang Prefecture have turned cold now, and Bingzhou is a little better. If it is set within the year, I am afraid that the exam will not be available until the end of the year. Shuofang City is not enough to accommodate too many people. If In winter, I am afraid that even if these scholars do not freeze to death, it will be difficult for them to take the exam."

Liu Tan thought for a while and said, "What's the current situation of the county guards?"

Huo Guang said: "It is said that they are all on their way to meet His Highness."

"That's right, wait for them to come, send out the test papers, let them take the assessment in each county first, and those who pass the second assessment will then be able to enter the capital for assessment. Well, the assessment of the capital is determined Maybe next summer."

Liu Tan originally planned to go in the spring, but after thinking about the size of the northern border country, he might have to leave when it is very cold in a place farther away.

It's good to set it in summer, anyway, it's not hot here in summer, and it will also give Liu a chance to renovate the capital.

To be honest, the capital of the northern border country may be worse than most of the cities in the country. When people go all the way to the capital and see it, they will be disappointed. How can it work?

Does Liu Tan want to lose face?

Huo Guang asked again: "When is it scheduled? When is the assessment for each county scheduled? How will the assessment be conducted? What are the criteria for passing the assessment?"

Liu Tan listened to the series of questions he asked, and suddenly felt the fear of being called back by the boss when he opened the question and asked three times in a row.

Looking at Huo Guang, he always felt that his and Huo Guang's identities seemed to be reversed.

Shouldn't he be asking Huo Guang these questions?

However, Huo Guang didn't look guilty at all, he had no choice, he really didn't understand what Liu Tan was thinking, and even Liu Tan never told them what the concept of the exam was.

With nothing left, Huo Guang had to ask about the situation of the entire northern border country.

Liu Tan said with a headache: "I will write out a framework first, and we will discuss it later."

Huo Guang didn't feel that this was oppressing His Highness at all, but changed the subject and said: "Besides this, there are taxes. This year's taxes are basically used to build the surrendered city, but that is an imperial edict. Border country decrees are not in parallel, so I would like to ask Your Highness to show you how to collect taxes this year."

Liu Tan waved his hand: "What are you going to collect? It would be strange if you can collect them in this situation. After the collection is over, a batch will starve to death and a batch will freeze to death. There are few people in the first place. Can the treasury still support it now?"

Huo Guang replied: "It can still last for the next year."

Liu Tan nodded: "Okay, I won't accept it for now."

Huo Guang responded, and when he finished asking about things, he turned around and sent someone to bring Sang Qian back.

To be honest, Sang Qian was not very happy when he knew that his position was reserved.

He is a captain, but he doesn't care about things. If something goes wrong, he will be the one to blame!

So when Sangqian came in front of Liu Tan, he began to say with emotion: "I have been doing nothing for more than [-] years, and now I have finally found something to work hard for, please help me, Your Highness!"

Liu Tan also looked very emotional, but he was not pretending, but because Sang Qian looked a bit miserable. The handsome gentleman who was originally white and clean, now became dark and thin, as if he had been dehydrated.

He couldn't help but said: "Ai Qing can do whatever she wants, drawing a map is also a contribution to the northern border country, how can I stop you?"

Sang Qian said: "If you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government. Since the minister no longer manages the soldiers, naturally he can no longer bear the name of the captain. Otherwise, the effect will be bad."

Liu Tan said: "Even if I agree, you can't leave the northern border country before the age of three years. If you insist on doing so, you can leave your seal and I will write a letter to transfer you back to Chang'an when you reach the age."

After hearing this, Sang Qian was relieved. The seal was not in his hands, and even if something went wrong, most of the responsibility could be shirked.

He quickly handed a seal box to Miao Rui, nodded and said: "All the seals are here, please take a look at it, Your Highness."

Liu Tan opened it and found that it was indeed the seal of the Captain of the Northern Territory. He smiled at Sang Qian and said, "Okay, I will arrange someone to take over as soon as possible. You should also take a good rest for two days."

A big stone in Sang Qian's heart finally fell. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Li Buyi rushing over, saluted Liu Tan and said, "Your Highness, the person sent by the minister seems to have discovered the kaolin that His Highness mentioned before, please also ask Your Highness Take a look."

Liu Tan's eyes lit up immediately: I want bricks!

Sang Qian: Gan!
