"Your Majesty and the ministers do not know if they have any opinions on the above four subjects, but if they have opinions, they may wish to say so, and if they do not, they will rest for a while and then begin the test. Want to - free - free - watch - end - whole - page - please - 100 degrees - search - "

Xu Shu's eyes swept around the audience and said.

Regarding Xu Shu's inquiry, the officials were no longer able to complain, what could they do if they had opinions? Could it be that Yuan Chang would change because of their opinions, besides, these changes were things they had never heard of, what opinions could they have?

"Since everyone has no opinion, let's go to eat first, the building on the left corner of the Great Hall is the cafeteria, please follow the staff. ”

Youzhou is still very humane, and there is a canteen after the meeting.

Liu Xiehe and a few ministers were naturally accompanied by Yuan Chang, Guo Jia and other high-level officials in Youzhou, and as for the other ministers, they did it themselves.

"Your Majesty, please!"

The cafeteria is also a novelty, and the furnishings in the canteen lobby are dizzying.

Xu Shu explained to Liu Xiehe and several ministers very intimately: "Your Majesty, ministers, this canteen is funded and built by Youzhou Mansion, specially used to entertain the ministers attending the meeting, and is usually not open to the public. The dishes in this are carefully designed by Youzhou Mu, including the taste of many places, if you have a favorite dish, you can take it, Youzhou Mu called it buffet. In this way, there is no waste. ”

"Well, Youzhou Mu has a good idea!"

Liu Xie praised lightly, anyway, everything seemed very fresh, and he had nothing to say. When the Son of Heaven eats, he naturally can't sit in the lobby like the ministers, and there is a private room to provide it. Of course, it is also because Liu Xie is still in the clouds now, if he has some ideas, sitting in the lobby can still reflect the attitude of being close to the minister. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything now, anyway, what Yuan Chang says, he just does it.

Liu Xie and the others followed Yuan Chang into the private room, and after a while, all kinds of dishes came in one by one, and the people who saw the dishes were dazzled.

"Hey, dare to ask Youzhou Mu, why is this dish so different from what we eat on weekdays?"

Yang Biao looked at the dishes on the table and asked with some surprise.

Yuan Chang smiled slightly and said, "Taiwei doesn't know, these dishes are what I found from the classics, and there is a method of stir-frying vegetables in the south, which can make the food more delicious and delicious." Therefore, it is a little different from the way we cook in our daily life. ”

The practice of stir-frying first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, of course, there is no clear record. It's just that the development of bronze ware has made some chefs with big brains innovate in their cooking skills. However, because the bronze ware did not help much for stir-frying, coupled with the lack of edible oil and the scarcity of seasonings, stir-fried vegetables were not widely disseminated, and there was no record until the Wei and Jin dynasties. After all, the economy of the Song Dynasty was developed, and the technology developed quite rapidly, the output of edible oil has been qualitatively improved, and the scholars and nobles in pursuit of a better life, stir-fried vegetables gradually became popular. Nowadays, stir-frying is just a casual work of some people in the south when they are lazy, after all, compared with steaming, stir-frying is much simpler and faster, not lazy people, and it is estimated that they will not use the method of stir-frying in order to save trouble.

"Your Majesty, how about it taste!"

Including Yuan Chang, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Zhao Yunyouzhou, Liu Xie, Yang Biao, Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi and Fu Wan, there are these people on the table. Yuan Chang is not too extravagant or simple, a table of fifteen dishes.

Liu Xie was not hypocritical, and when he lifted his chopsticks, he pinched a piece of meat that looked brightly colored.

"Bah..."

One bite down, soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy, Liu Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, he sandwiched a piece again, and tasted it carefully. After eating, even though he was very unhappy with Yuan Chang, Liu Xie couldn't help but praise: "Youzhou Mu, what is this thing? Why is it so tender and delicious, it is really a rare delicacy in the world." ”

Yuan Chang smiled slightly, naturally he wouldn't tell Liu Xie that this was pork, otherwise, Liu Xie might have to vomit it on the spot.

Pigs are lowly creatures to nobles, after all, pigs eat everything, and it looks disgusting. Until the Song Dynasty, pigs had always been the food of the common people, and there was no such dish on the table of the nobles. In the Song Dynasty, because of Su Dongpo's Dongpo meat, pork became a common thing on the table. After all, even a big celebrity like Su Dongpo eats so happily, and everyone follows the trend, and the status of pork naturally rises. Of course, there is another reason, that is, because you can't make the taste of Dongpo meat with wild boar.

"Your Majesty, this thing is wild pig meat, and it can be prepared with a secret method. If His Majesty likes it, the minister will let the chef teach it to the imperial chef, and His Majesty can enjoy it at any time. ”

Wild boar meat naturally does not make Liu Xie feel anything, after all, no matter what era it is, wild meat is synonymous with being relatively tall. As for Liu Xie's imperial chef learning the practice of braised pork, it is naturally impossible to make such a taste with wild boar, anyway, Yuan Chang can be said to be a poor chef, so he told Liu Xie to use pork, anyway, Liu Xie has eaten everything, what else can he do.

"You all eat your own meals, and you don't have to worry about me. ”

Liu Xie saw that Yang Biao and the others did not move their chopsticks, so he immediately mentioned it. Now that he is not in his own palace, he naturally does not have any special treatment. After Liu Xie's order, Yang Biao and the others started to make a move, and for the first time they tasted the fried food, Yang Biao and several others lost their usual manners, but everyone is like this, and the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother. On the contrary, a few people on the Youzhou side seem to be relatively calm, they eat like this on weekdays, what is there to make a fuss about.

At the end of the meal, everyone ate very happily, and even the amount of food was a little more than usual.

"There is still some time before the test, and Your Majesty and you will go with Weichen to have a cup of tea. ”

After eating, there will be a test later, except for Yuan Chang and Liu Xie, everyone else will be tested, including Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and other high-level officials in Youzhou, the same is true. Guo Jia didn't want to participate, but under Yuan Chang's 'threat', he had to compromise, Yuan Chang said that if Guo Jia didn't participate, the share of fine wine would be reduced in the future. You can skip the meal, how can you not drink the wine, so Guo Jia naturally has to compromise.

In the canteen, there is a pantry ready to make tea, and the novel furnishings in it naturally attracted the surprise of Yang Biao and others. It can be said that since arriving in Youzhou, everything has opened their eyes.

Naturally, there are special maid services for making tea, and Yuan Chang specially trained a few maids for making tea, after all, this kind of thing still needs to be done by specialized talents to make it seem better.

After eating greasy food, and drinking a burst of light tea at this time, the whole person feels as if he is about to ascend to heaven.

"After seeing such days in Youzhou, I know that the previous days were all in vain. After Yang Biao drank a cup of tea, he couldn't help but laugh.

"The captain is too famous, everyone has their own way of living, and I like such a quiet day. When Nai doesn't have to be with me, he can only have fun in the bitterness. ”

Yuan Chang responded with a slight smile.

As the saying goes, Yang Biao's vision is so sophisticated, he can see that Yuan Chang's words are sincere, not perfunctory. It can be seen that Yuan Chang is a person who is content with plainness, why he has come to this point, I think there must be something inside. However, now the time is not right, and Yang Biao is not easy to ask, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and if he has the opportunity, he will find another time to talk to Yuan Chang.

An hour was no more, less was not less, and after the meal had been drunk, the time was almost up, and the people walked towards the Great Hall.

On the way, Yang Biao joked: "Youzhou Mu, I wait for a few old people, I can't compare to you young people, I don't know if I can tell you a little bit about the content of the test." ”

"The captain is laughing!"

Yuan Chang laughed counter-rhetorically and said, "Who doesn't know that the Taiwei became famous at a young age, is erudite and well-read, and how it can be rare to win the Taiwei in a mere test." ”

"Haha, thanks to Youzhou Mu's praise, I hope you won't be disappointed. ”

Yang Biao can see it, and he doesn't have much resistance to the test. After all, if Yuan Chang's new law reform can't have the same concept as him, I'm afraid he won't be able to get started, so Yang Biao feels that it's normal for Yuan Chang to do this. However, Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi had quite an opinion in their hearts, but the two of them thought that they also had some talents, and they were not very opposed, but they felt that they were a little uncomfortable.

After Yuan Chang and Liu Xie arrived, the rest of the ministers had also arrived. Yuan Chang didn't say anything, and directly asked people to bring the paper silk for the test, and each person sent a copy.

After sending it, Yuan Chang said: "Everyone, the content on this paper is from the pastor of Benzhou, and no one has read it before, not even my officials in Youzhou. Therefore, the next test is absolutely fair and impartial, and it is up to you to decide what the results of the test will be. The test will take half an hour, and now it will begin. ”

After speaking, Yuan Chang and Liu Xie sat aside and waited quietly. Under Yuan Chang's incomparably strong strength, I believe that no one can cheat in front of him.

In fact, the content of the test is not difficult, with a total of 10 questions, mainly their views on the reform of the new law and their practices when they were in office. The main purpose of the test is to observe the practices of the hundred officials, and if it is those ministers who only understand it, it is estimated that there is little hope. Therefore, although Guo Jia and the others don't know the content of the test, there is no problem in passing the test.

Ten questions, whether it is difficult to say is not difficult, it is not easy to say that it is simple, and half an hour is more than enough.

Yuan Chang put away all the paper and silk, and then said: "In order to show fairness and justice, the state pastor will test and score on the spot. Among them, the outstanding ones can be members of the Central Committee, and the rest are divided into qualified and unqualified, and those who are qualified can take up the posts of leaders of relevant departments, and those who are unqualified are ordinary officials. ”

What Yuan Chang said was categorical, obviously he would not give everyone a chance to refute, whether they wanted it or not, everything could only be implemented according to Yuan Chang's opinion.

There are only more than 200 officials who are qualified to participate in the test, and a piece of paper silk can be read in a few seconds by Yuan Chang, who is fast, and more than ten seconds by Yuan Chang, who is slow. It also took about half an hour for Yuan Chang to complete all the paper and silk inspections and give the corresponding scores.

"After the inspection of the state pastor, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Yang Biao, Zhao Wen, and Zhang Xi can be members of the Central Committee. The rest, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo... More than 40 people are qualified, and they can take up the position of leaders of relevant departments, and the rest of the unqualified people are ordinary officers. ”

After Yuan Chang announced the results, the scene calmed down for a moment, and then someone jumped out.

"Youzhou Mu, why is it unqualified!"

An official who looked to be in his thirties and had a resolute face stood up and said loudly: "Youzhou Mu, I think that my answer is very perfect, why is it not qualified, is it just Youzhou Mu's word? If so, isn't it Youzhou Mu what you say, how can we know the specific situation." ”

Yuan Chang glanced at him and said lightly, "Name." ”

"What?"

"Your name!"

The official reacted and hurriedly said, "This official Zhang Hua!"

"What the state pastor is testing is your understanding of the new law reform and the practices of the people who have been in power. So, Zhang Hua, what did you write? Quoting scriptures and writing down the words of the sage, you told the Governor of the Honzhou, how can you take up a new position and work for the welfare of the world and the people, but not by virtue of the words of the Saint in your mouth? The Pastor of this state does not need you to use other people's views and opinions, but wants your own opinions and practices, and if a person does not even have his own characteristics, how can he do his duty well? As a result, if you are not satisfied, the Pastor of this state will not change his opinion. ”

After teaching Zhang Hua a lesson, Yuan Chang looked at others and said: "Not only Zhang Hua is like this, but you are the same, unqualified people can only serve as ordinary officers." If you don't want to, you can leave on your own, and the state pastor will not stop you. In the same way, you can start as an ordinary officer, slowly understand the specifics of the new law reform, and then be promoted when your ability is sufficient. With that said, it's up to you to decide what to do. ”

After speaking, Yuan Chang stopped talking.

Only more than 40 people are qualified, and nearly four-fifths of the officials are unqualified, accounting for the majority. These people's answers are exactly the same as Zhang Hua's, they all quote scriptures and classics, adopt the words of sages, and have no idea of their own governance. Yuan Chang naturally wouldn't be polite, but Dong Cheng and a few others made Yuan Chang a little surprised, he was able to pass the test and reach the qualified standard, originally according to his thoughts, Dong Cheng and a few other diehards should not pass. However, think about Dong Cheng and a few others, although they are diehards, their talents are not bad, and they have passed the test.

Now that they have moved their capitals to Youzhou, and their families are on their way to Youzhou, it is obviously impossible for them to resign and not do anything. Therefore, in the end, the officials present could only pinch their noses and admit the result.
