"Our Datang now has substantive officials, civil and military officials, as well as lords and lords, and it's a mess."

When a few people were curious, Li Yi talked about the official system in the Tang Dynasty.

The lord is generally used by soldiers, and if it is rewarded, it is difficult for the lord, and the lord needs to give the actual fiefdom, and say how many households, he will give the rent to those households.

In the later period, Xun was able to spend money to buy, with honor and grade.

"It's not messy." Li Chengqi felt that he could tell the difference.

"So let's make it messier, no, better. Add an honor for a merchant to pay taxes and donate money.

The name is casual, but it can't be there all the time, it can be consumed.

For example, if you pay a tax, you will be given a point, and if you donate, you will be given a point.

When the points reach a certain level, give a name, and then to a certain extent, give another one. ”

Li Yi introduced another of his points system.

"Uncle, what's the use of points?" Queen Wang asked naturally.

"Change the quota for the imperial examination, the local township tribute, not you can come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination after learning, you have to choose the best, and the imperial court can ......"

Li Yi began to say how to use it.

Let the local government give points to the students, not excellent, good or something, to be specific, which one gives a few points, and why.

The merchant exchanged points, and how many points were exchanged for one point for that.

As long as there is enough money, it is okay for the others to be lower, but not for fools, there must be a bottom line.

This is equivalent to his extra score in the high school entrance examination at that time, and it does not involve the college entrance examination.

The family members of local businessmen, or the businessmen themselves, want to get a place to enter the Chang'an imperial examination, and there is no problem with using points.

Waiting for Chang'an, whether you can be admitted or not, that's another story.

"The richer the place, the more it is needed, the rich place has a prosperous literary style, and the generation in Jiangnan has how many good students.

There is a lot of pressure to compete together, there are few places, some people have not done well in the official school there, and some people want to come over, so they have to go the way.

Whoever goes is not going, the court gives the opportunity to take the money. Maybe he was in the middle of the platoon over there, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he played at a super level. ”

Li Yi said what many parents of students think, in case, give a chance to give it a try.

For example, on his side, some places have a lot more difficult exam questions than others.

If the candidates there change to another place to take the test with others, the other place will be finished.

Therefore, take the test according to the location of the household registration, don't jump around, and leave a way for people to live.

Li Yi's set of theories came out, and the people in the single room were stunned.

For the first time, I found that the imperial examination could be used for other things.

After more than a dozen breaths, Li Longji recovered: "Brother Yi, do like this, is it still talented?" ”

"For the country and the people is talent, businessmen pay money, and the court takes the money for the people of the world and for the border soldiers.

There were merchants who exchanged military horses from outside, and the court gave them rewards.

How is paying taxes and donating money different from that kind of businessman? ”

Li Yi mentioned that the imperial court rewarded the horse-changing merchants, which was essentially the same.

"If you want to come, the ministers of the court will not easily agree." Li Chengqi recognized Li Yi's method, and it was others who were worried.

"Give them extra money, and divide a certain percentage according to how much tax the court increases every year, and give it to officials according to the evaluation."

Li Yi then gave another idea.

The taxes and donations of merchants were regarded as an increase in the income of the imperial court, and the more money, the more officials received.

Li Longji picked up the wine and muttered slightly: "Even if there is no extra money, there will be no fewer ministers in the DPRK and China." ”

"Yes." Queen Wang spoke up: "Some of them are backed by their families, and some are connected with big businessmen. ”

Li Yi smiled and lowered his head to eat.

He believed that when the news spread, there would be a fight.

Those from poor families do not agree, but officials with big families and officials who take advantage of merchants must agree.

All reforms are a matter of distribution of benefits.

Li Yi believes that in the end, it is balanced by money.

Exchanging points for points is fair to students who have money and study well.

The imperial court selects talents for the imperial examination, and there is no limit on the number of admission places in the imperial examination in Chang'an.

If there are 10,000 people who have the ability to answer all the questions correctly, they are all first.

The real conflict lies in the position of the officials, there are not so many places to arrange.

But that's something to do later, just like he was a college student at the time.

At first, college students are amazing, but even if they are in a prestigious school, it is difficult to find a satisfactory job after graduation, unless they are outstanding.

In the end, there are still people taking the test every year, and there are more and more students.

The imperial examination is the same, come on, take the test, and if you pass the exam, you will be given the first place.

It was the first time that Li Longji and others came into contact with this kind of disguised matter of collecting money and selling official positions.

They pondered, and for a moment they were silent.

When the meal was about to end, Li Chengqi let out a sigh: "It's difficult for the children of poor families!" ”

"In the future, the commercial tax of the Tang Dynasty will increase, and the mediocrity and harmony will be abolished, and the poor families will benefit." Li Yi didn't feel that it had an impact on the children of poor families.

If you study well, you don't need to buy it with points.

The bonus quota is an additional quota and does not crowd out the existing quota.

It's nothing more than the children of rich families who exchange money for opportunities, and they have never been fair, or this is fair.

After eating, Li Longji and Queen Wang left, and Li Chengqi also left with a few birds made of bamboo.

The bird was what Bi Gou had seen when he came, and it had gunpowder in its belly, and two nozzles for propellant were tied to the bird's body.

This is called the Divine Fire Flying Crow, which is used to siege the city, and it is better than the Sky Monkey Cluster.

It flies in an arc, can go around the walls, and glides downward.

Li Longji sat in the car and glanced at the queen who was not very happy.

said: "It's better to take it back, it's three months old." Feed by you personally, others can't touch it, you don't even light incense in your palace, and there is nowhere to poison it. ”

"In a few days, I'll sort out the harem." Queen Wang nodded and said with a smile to comb the harem.

"Originally, I went to Zhuangzi today to ask if there was a war, but I got another good way to make money."

Li Longji didn't care about the affairs of the harem, he smiled and talked about the harvest of this trip.

Queen Wang pursed her lips: "In this way, the businessmen who think of tax evasion will also have to make up the taxes for the sake of their own children."

I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be many concubines and many relatives. Some students can't do it in their own homes, so they can recognize rich people as their fathers.

There are also divorced women, with sons, or widows with sons, in order to find a way out. ”

"Those who take concubines don't count, and those who recognize relatives don't count within five years."

Li Longji directly gave the conditions, he had already decided to use this method, and he went back to discuss with the prime ministers what the name was.

He agreed with Li Yi's statement that businessmen contributed money to help the people who fought the war and helped reduce the burden on the people who farmed.

Why can't you get additional benefits? As for whether the people understand it or not, they will get used to it after a long time.

The court has no money, and it can't be taken from your people who farm? It is impossible to stop fighting a war because the court has no money.

"Does a relative's child count? Some big families, this may be a minister who wants to bring it up. ”

Queen Wang considered the problems of the family, and the family needed some people to support the stage.

"No, they can take out the money and give it to each other and let their relatives donate it themselves."

Li Longji didn't want the family to develop openly, so he couldn't give loopholes in name.
