The exam questions were written by the emperor himself, and they didn't know what the exam questions would be beforehand.

But although it is strange, this kind of assessment is not formal, and there is no structure, so it is nothing.

On the contrary, it is making up for the lack of talents in all aspects of the imperial court.

After the assessment, the next step is to mark these test papers.

Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Cai Yong, and Cao Cao jointly corrected, and each of them had to mark all the test papers, with 100 as the best.

Finally, the average score given by the five people is taken for the final score.

If you answer two or more questions, you only score each question and do not add up.

More than 10,000 test papers seem to be many, but with the strength and wisdom of Guo Jia and others, all the results came out in just five days.

The result is gratifying and sad, and the gratifying thing is that there are many talented people among more than 10,000 people, and several of them make Tian Feng and several people feel ashamed.

Zhang Zhao, Sun Shao, Gu Yong, Chen Qun and others are all excellent in terms of people's livelihood.

and several other topics, such as the rule of officials, or such as household departments, or such as military affairs, are also proficient.

More than 1,000 of them are children of a family, or a vassal family.

When the results are released, countless people are happy and countless people are disappointed.

There are nearly 1,200 talents in all aspects.

All of them have a score of more than 70 on a question, and the people's livelihood is the most, nearly 500 people, and with a little sharpening, it is enough to serve as the position of the county commander.

When this result came out, even Guo Jia and others were surprised, there were inevitably too many talents.

With these 1,200 people, there is really no shortage of people in the imperial court to a certain extent.

It is not surprising that only the emperor is shou, there are many people in this world, but there are too few real officials.

A single county order manages millions of people, and with the existence of spiritual practice, there are many fewer difficulties in studying, and there are not many people who read.

It's just that there are not many talents in people's mouths, and the standard of talents is the talent of the county order.

Because in a county, only one taishou, one county cheng, plus the county order county chief are appointed by the imperial court, and the rest are hired by the taishou himself.

Therefore, the standard of talent is that the talent of the county order can be an official.

And among the major top families, they can casually come up with hundreds of talented family children.

But there are too few ways to become an official, and there are too few official positions.

It is conceivable that there are many talented people and strong local forces.

Comparatively speaking, these 1,200 talents are very much.

As soon as the results came out, the officials were busy, preparing positions for these people.

Nowadays, there are a lot of positions that are lacking in big businessmen, especially as soon as the six ministries come out, various affairs are finely divided, and the positions in the central court are about half more.

In addition, some local officials who were still lacking were easily arranged for more than 700 people with the best grades.

The rest still needs to be observed, and I will help out in the six parts for the time being.

For this result, the major families are happy, and all other parties are also happy, only a few people are worried, and now the family has a much stronger grasp of the court.

For this reason, Tian Feng also deliberately asked the emperor to report this kind of trouble.

When you think it's a whole, it's a whole.

You see it as an individual, and it is an individual.

This is the words of the emperor.

Tian Feng suddenly retreated, but he still couldn't help but be a little worried.

It's easier said than done!

The Maison has always been seen as a whole, but in reality, it is not connected at all if it does not touch the common interests of the whole.

You treat it as a whole and find it difficult to deal with and control.

Then it is naturally difficult, but if you treat it as an individual, it is not difficult.

There's no need to worry so much, it's actually an individual.

This is what he understood from the words of the emperor, but although he understood, it was still difficult to really do it.

In addition to the literary examination, the martial arts examination also selected thousands of good generals to supplement the army.

In addition, in the literary examination, those who answered the military question well also entered the army, and there were about 40 people.

·····

The official positions, which had not been restructured for a long time, poured into so many officials at once, and they couldn't help but feel a little chaotic for a while.

However, after the chaos, a surge of vitality surged, and they were all new to the court, once they became officials, they couldn't wait to show themselves everywhere.

After several months of running in with each other, on September 16.

At the court meeting, Chen Gong said in public: "The minister thinks that the official ranks are chaotic now, so the grades should be strictly divided. ”

As soon as he said it, all eyes looked at him.

"Speak. "Above the imperial steps, the emperor said indifferently.

"The minister thought that it could be classified as the third rank of the ninth grade, including all official positions, the upper rank of the first rank is the highest, and the lower rank of the ninth rank is the lowest. Chen Gong said solemnly.

The hall was quiet, and everyone kept thinking about the pros and cons of this method, although there were not many words, but the meaning was very clear.

All officials are classified into nine grades, and there are three levels in one grade, upper, middle, and lower.

In this way, it is indeed possible to clearly show the level of all official positions.

While many officials were still thinking, Emperor Zishou had already spoken, and his indifferent tone was still full of undoubtedness: "The cabinet is discussing." ”

"Wow. Immediately, several cabinet ministers saluted.

At the end of the court meeting, almost everyone was talking about the division of official ranks.

For most people, it feels new and agreeable.

Because of the clear division, the vanity in their hearts was immediately satisfied, and the motivation and goals to climb up were clearer and clearer.

In the cabinet, Guo Jia's four cabinet ministers, as well as the five Shangshu, also quickly discussed.

"Master Chen, what do you think exactly? You might as well say it all, we also happen to have a reference. The nine people sat down, and Xi Zhicai took the lead in speaking.

The rest of the people nodded.

Chen Gong thought for a while, and then said: "Now that there are many official positions, many places are not clear, so I want to include all official positions with the third rank of the ninth rank, including the noble marquis."

Except for His Majesty and the Empress, no one can transcend the Nine Pins. ”

The other eight nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Chen Gong continued to speak slowly, and after half an hour, everyone understood the division in Chen Gong's heart.

Although they basically agree, they have different opinions on their specific official positions and grades.

"The prince is one product, the cabinet minister, the second product of Shangshu, the third product of the left and right squire, the fourth product of the county guard, the fifth product of the county, the sixth product of the county order, and the seventh product of the county Cheng.

The rest of the officials follow the same pattern, and the central officials can fluctuate in three orders according to merit.

Locally, according to the size of the place and merit, it is divided into three levels, I don't know if Lord Chen means this?" Yuan Shao muttered.

"Not bad. Chen Gong nodded.

"Isn't there something wrong with the local official position?" said Yuan Shao with a slight frown.

"What's wrong?" Chen Gong looked at.

"The county is the lowest official position, and it is classified as seven ranks, but what about the eighth and ninth grades?" Yuan Shao said.

"Some petty officials in Beijing can be divided into eight and nine ranks, and more positions in the army can be divided, and the three elders in the township can also be divided into eight and nine grades to show the kindness of the imperial court. Chen Gong said unhurriedly.

Everyone was thoughtful in their hearts, according to the current point of view, once the nine grades and three orders were divided, everyone's centripetal force towards the imperial court would be much greater.

After all, everyone is fame and fortune.

As soon as the formal rank comes out, the sense of honor and motivation is much stronger.

The imperial court's control over all aspects should also be stronger.

····

There are many positions of various officials in Dashang, plus those in the army, it is naturally not so simple to agree on various ranks.

What's more, the cabinet ministers and the six ministers have a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to discuss them from time to time.

In addition, the emperor is sometimes dissatisfied, and the attention and thoughts of people from all walks of life in the outside world.

A month has passed.

It took a whole month before it was completely determined.

The throne, the prince of the county and the concubine are one and the same.

Cabinet Minister, Six Secretaries.

About six waiters are three grades.

The county guards the four products, the county Cheng five products, the county order six products, and the county Cheng seven products.

This is mainly the case on the civilian side.

In the army, the number and merit of leading the army are the main.

Now it has been clearly stipulated that the ordinary first army is one million, there are clear commanders, and the only ones who are second-class are Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zhang Yan.

The rest also have the existence of commanding an army, but the credit is not enough, and it is not a second grade.

Then came the honor.

Because of the rapid establishment of the Great Shang, there are very few nobles and marquises, and they are also divided into five titles: king, duke, marquis, uncle, and son, corresponding to the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth rank official positions.

As soon as the division of the three levels of the nine products came out, the world was full of discussants.

The people's sense of reverence for officials has become much stronger.

The officials' desire for upward mobility and their sense of belonging to the imperial court have also become much stronger.

The hierarchy is clear, and all aspects of affairs are handled more quickly.

It's like everything is going on the bright side.

When all parties got used to it, another few months passed.

March 1 of the fifth year of the Great Cause.

A holy decree shook the world.

Today, the emperor wants to choose concubines from all the families and powerful in the world.

As soon as the news came out, even ordinary people couldn't help but talk about it.

The selection of concubines or selection is not unfamiliar to everyone, but this kind of direct decree to choose concubines from all over the world has never happened.

But no matter how you talk about it, all the major families and wealthy families have moved to send their outstanding women to Luoyang.

This kind of thing, almost no family would refuse.

The power of foreign relatives, among the former Han Dynasty, can be said to have always existed and is still very strong.

Today's emperor, but there is no queen.

Even the half-crippled Yuan family, the top Yang family, the Xun family, the Chen family and other big families all acted quickly to select the best women.

Even if you don't have it at home, or feel that you are not good enough, you will start looking for excellent women everywhere, and then you can recognize a godfather.

When the holy decree was issued, the thirteen states and one hundred and ten counties of Dashang were full of teams sending women to Luoyang.

As of August 1, in five months, a total of 128,000 women entered the palace of the Great Shang Dynasty for screening, all of them beautiful and graceful.

A woman that ordinary people don't dare to think about at all.
