The room recruiting officials was very big, but more than a hundred people entered it, which made people feel a little crowded, especially the weather outside was hot, which made the room even more stuffy and hot. Everyone who came to the enlistment was sweating profusely.

However, Xu Jingzong was not in a hurry at all. When he came, he brought an ice basin and placed it beside him. He drank herbal tea while fanning. The cold air in the ice basin was blown by the wind, making people feel particularly cool. Of course, this ice basin was too small, only enough for Xu Jingzong to use it alone. Others could not enjoy the cool air emitted from the ice basin.

In fact, Xu Jingzong also wanted to quickly select enough minor officials from these people. After all, the weather is so hot, even if there is an ice basin, it would not feel very good to stay here. However, Li Xiu told him yesterday that he would come to select these minor officials in person, so Xu Jingzong could only wait patiently.

But it was noon now, but I had not seen Li Xiu's figure yet, which made Xu Jingzong feel a little strange, because Li Xiu has always been a very punctual person. Yesterday he had made an appointment with him and said he was coming this morning, but now he has failed the appointment. This is not like Li Xiu's style.

However, just as Xu Jingzong was confused, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, and the other was accompanied by the voices of the two. One of them must be Li Xiu, and the other he also felt familiar with, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment?

Soon, Li Xiu walked in, and there was another person who was closely followed. This man was about the same age as Li Xiu, with white face and black beard and gentle appearance. He was Changsun Wuji, who was as famous as Li Xiu. This also shocked Xu Jingzong and hurried forward and saluted: "The lower-ranking official Xu Jingzong greeted the prince-consort, Duke Qi!"

"Young Master Xu doesn't have to be too polite. I'm also bored this time. I happened to meet the prince consort in the palace, so I'll take a look at the recruitment of minor officials by your Financial Management Bureau. I won't disturb you, right?" Changsun Wuji smiled and said to Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong was also an old man from the Qin Palace back then, so Changsun Wuji naturally recognized the other party, but he always felt that Xu Jingzong was too cunning, so he had no close friends with Xu Jingzong. Of course, for Li Xiu's sake, he was also quite polite to Xu Jingzong.

The reason why Li Xiu came with Changsun Wuji was that he was not coincidental because he was going to go to the financial management supervision this morning, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the imperial city, he received a call from Li Shimin to go to Liangyi Hall to discuss matters. As a result, he found that Changsun Wuji was also here when he went there, and the content of the discussion was how to deal with the remaining Dangxiang people?

The Dangxiang people rebelled during Li Yuan's funeral, but Li Shimin released Cheng Yaojin, a blood-handed butcher. Wherever the army passed, there were more than 300,000 people before the rebellion, but after the rebellion was suppressed, there were only less than 100,000 people left. From this we can see how many people Cheng Yaojin killed in the southwest, and Li Shimin summoned Li Xiu to discuss how to deal with the remaining Dangxiang people?

Li Shimin had two solutions to these Dangxiang people. The first was to let them live in their original place and then send officials to manage them. However, before the Dangxiang people were able to rebel, it was difficult to ensure that they would not rebel again. The second was to move them directly to the Dongting Lake area like the Turks and hand them over to Zhao Deyan for management, so that they could open up land. It just so happened that most of these Dangxiang people were women and children, and were better managed than the Turks.

Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin was also more inclined to the second type, and he also thought this was a good idea. However, in this way, there were no people in the original Dangxiang Five Prefectures, and it was not enough to move people to the border, because the Tang Dynasty did not have that many people. As a result, the three of them discussed encouraging childbirth again. However, the increase in the population cannot be effective overnight, so they were unable to hurry at all.

After discussing the matter, Li Xiu remembered the matter of selecting minor officials today, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left. As a result, Changsun Wuji also left the palace with him. And he happened to have nothing to do. He heard that Li Xiu was going to select minor officials for the bank, so he became a little interested, so he simply came with Li Xiu.

"Duke Qi is so polite. If you can come to us, it will also make the officials in our financial management supervision feel bright on their faces!" It was the first time that Xu Jingzong saw Changsun Wuji so polite to him, and he said with some fear and fear.

"Haha~, don't be polite to you two. The weather is so hot that the people who come to apply for the mission have been waiting for a long time. Let's start quickly!" Li Xiu felt a little funny when he saw Changsun Wuji and Xu Jingzong's false appearance. Speaking of which, Changsun Wuji lost power later, and was forced to death by Xu Jingzong. If Changsun Wuji could predict the history of things like him, he would not know if he would immediately send someone to kill Xu Jingzong?

"What the prince-in-law said is that everyone who came to apply for the election today is here. Should I start choosing the place?" Xu Jingzong nodded immediately when he heard Li Xiu's words, but when it comes to selecting minor officials, he didn't know what Li Xiu planned to do, because Li Xiu had already said yesterday that he would decide how to choose.

At that moment, Li Xiu was about to ask someone to take out the things he had prepared, but he found that the people who came to the enlistment were sweating profusely, the room was stuffy and hot, and the sun outside was poisonous. If this continued, someone might have heatstroke, but Xu Jingzong would enjoy it, so he only prepared an ice basin for himself.

Seeing this, Li Xiu's face also darkened. He asked someone to go to the ice shop on the street to buy ice cubes, and then put ice basins around the room. As a result, the temperature in the room quickly dropped, which also made everyone who came to apply for the election show gratitude. Especially when they just now, they knew from Xu Jingzong's name for Li Xiu that the young official in front of him was actually the son-in-law of the current dynasty. Although there were many son-in-laws of the Tang Dynasty, if he could come with Duke Sun Wuji, the only son-in-law who was named Duke Yan, was probably Li Xiu.

When Xu Jingzong saw Li Xiu buy ice cubes for these people who came to apply for the application, he couldn't help but show an embarrassing expression on his face. Especially when he saw the ice basin next to him, he felt very dazzling. He was frozen there and didn't know what to do? Changsun Wuji next to him smiled calmly when he saw this, but he felt more and more that his vision was good. Xu Jingzong was indeed an incomparable person.
