"Wang Qing is the champion appointed by me, and after that, he has been placed by me in the Hanlin Academy, compiled and examined, do you feel that you are condescending?" Liu Chengyou was a little curious, looked at Wang Pu and asked.

Wang Pu is not young, the impulsive spirit of young people, after going through the world, seeing the situation, in his forties, he participated in the tribute examination, which can be described as a full-level mountain.

Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, he looked calm and calm, and responded humbly: "Your Majesty has a saying, the law is the foundation of the world, and the ministers have learned to be able to explain the law, which is really fortunate for the ministers!" ”

Obviously, it is not difficult for a person like Wang Pu to be calm to show his talent, and Mingjun is in front of him, and he is trustworthy. And Liu Chengyou is not dissatisfied.

"Having said that, why doesn't Ranqing's talent stop there?" After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou said: "In my opinion, Qing has a chest and a strong economy, is full of strategy, is familiar with current affairs, and has the ability to strategize, and there are few comparable people in the Manchu Dynasty, how can he be confined to Hanlin for a long time, for writing and writing!" ”

Liu Chengyou's words held Wang Pu very high, even with his mentality, in the face of such a compliment from the Son of Heaven, it is also reasonable to have some moving emotions. I saw that Wang Pu's attitude was solemn and abnormal, and he bowed respectfully.

"Before the Qing Dynasty took the champion and the first, stayed in Hanlin, I have the meaning of reuse, but I am worried about less merit, and I can't pull it out!"

When Liu Chengyou said the follow-up words, Wang Pu's body was subconsciously tensed, and he was not confused in the year of the examination, of course, with the ambition of establishing a meritorious career and becoming famous in history. There is nothing to be subtle, and there is no need to be tactful, compared to the publication of the "Criminal Unification" in the Hanlin Academy, he naturally hopes to do the important things of stabilizing the country and making decisions on the border.

Seeming to notice Wang Pu's eyes, Liu Chengyou looked at him, smiled slightly, and said: "This time I have won the merit of reforming the law, and I can be rewarded for my merit!" I am virtuous and talented, and I want to put hard work first, don't ......"

After a little muttering, Liu Chengyou said: "In the previous court discussion, Wang Qiwu said that the canals in the Central Plains are not smooth, and the water transportation is not prosperous, so it is very inconvenient for the boats to come and go, and the state government to communicate. In particular, the Bianhe River has been in disrepair for a long time, the waterways are silted, and the reefs are dense, which is not conducive to the transfer of public and private ships. ”

Wang Pu listened carefully, and Liu Chengyou said clearly: "After discussing with the prime ministers, it was also decided that after the spring ploughing, 200,000 yuan of money and 100,000 stones of grain will be allocated to requisition and mobilize people's resources to control the dredging of the river. I wanted to order the collection of plans for river control, and I have transferred officials from inside and outside the country to prepare for river work. Wen Qing knows astronomy and geography, and I want to use Qing to coordinate his affairs, but can he be in charge? ”

According to Liu Chengyou's description, Wang Pu had a bottom in his heart that the matter of controlling the river was proposed by Wang Pu not two days after Liu Chengyou returned to Beijing, and it was also promoted by Emperor Liu Chengyou, and he had heard about it.

At this time, Wang Pu had already pondered in his heart, with his vision, of course, he knew the importance of dredging ditches and Shentong river transportation, not only for transshipment, business, and irrigation, but also for the convenience of military supplies if the Han army took Jianghuai in the south.

"The minister is not talented, and he is willing to plan for His Majesty to supervise this matter!" All kinds of thoughts quickly passed through his mind, and Wang Pu responded confidently and calmly.

"By the way, the opportunity to go to Qing or to govern the river will draw the hydrology of the water systems of the Central Plains states into an atlas in detail!" Liu Chengyou suddenly thought and ordered: "This is hard work!" ”

Noticing Liu Chengyou's serious eyes, Wang Pu also seemed to understand his intentions: "The minister is ordered!" ”

Wang Pu knew that next, the focus of his work had to be shifted to the matter of controlling the river, and in a short period of time, he would have to serve it.

In fact, judging from the historical fame, letting Wang Pu govern the river is still overkill, and even suspected of being useless. However, just as Liu Chengyou said, he cannot be suddenly promoted to a high position in the temple, he must accumulate qualifications, and at present, the military regime is in a heavy position, and there is no place for him.

Liu Chengyou was unwilling, so he only let him participate in the imperial council, without military and political experience, even if his knowledge was high, it was like a castle in the air, empty. Governing the river is not just controlling the water, it is a combination of governing people, the army, and the money.

There is one point, Liu Chengyou is from the heart, he uses people, first in hard work. If he wants to change the three generations of the law and open the ancestral method of the Han Dynasty, he needs a lot of functional talents, and he needs to work hard to support him.

Only on the advisers, he is not lacking, if it is about the advice. For example, Tao Gu, every time he consults something, he can give Liu Chengyou a lot of satisfactory answers, but Liu Chengyou really doesn't dare to put him in the place, just because of his virtue and doesn't want to make things incapacitated. People like Tao Gu will play a much greater role in the center.

Not only Wang Pu, but also Wang Pu and Liu Chengyou also have the mind of going out, such a young man, even if his qualifications are high, he should have more experience in the state and county, which will also help his development. Of course, this consideration is also in accordance with the policy of the state of the court officials that Liu Chengyou began to gradually initiate.

Tokyo and Luoyang, the old people of the previous dynasty, there are many ministers, but among the large number of idle officials raised here, carefully selected, you can always find some talents in the prefecture and county. After three generations and decades of accumulation, the civil and courtiers are not dross and burdensome, to be fair.

Even though their abilities are high and low, and their morals are superior or inferior, they are all elites of the times in such a world of martial arts and literature. Among them, there are many old ministers, all of whom have experience in governing the dynasty.

If you want to find a master for Liu Chengxun, you can recommend Li Song; If Liu Chengyou wants to learn calligraphy, he has Yang Ningshi; Etiquette has Zhang Zhao; Edited the historical records of the country, including Jia Wei; If you want to reshape the Imperial History Tower, you can use it to meet its needs; In the local office, there is already Bian Weizhi in the same state......

In the excavation of old talents, Liu Chengyou has tasted enough sweetness, and he found that the large number of officials left by Shi Jin can be regarded as a treasure trove of talents, as long as he works hard, he can always find some surprises. Especially when Liu Chengyou rescued those high-ranking officials and ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty in Luancheng, he was able to be collected by Yelu Deguang's side, which was extraordinary.

The previous concern of abandoning or shelving it is only a matter of loyalty, but in such an era of monarchy and righteousness, can you demand that people be loyal to you? Liu Chengyou also has a very clear understanding of this, as long as he is strong enough to control the army, he does not need to worry too much.

And Liu Chengyou thinks that he also has the mind and courage to appoint the old ministers of the former dynasty, and he did the same. If you want to cultivate the loyalty and identity of the ministers to the Han and the Liu family, you must have the unremitting persistence of 20 years and a generation. It's not so easy to change decades of practice.

Of course, Liu Chengyou will not be superstitious about these civil servants and court officials, after all, there are always some literati who are only suitable for playing with the pen. If people don't make the most of their use and put them in the wrong place, their harm is weaker than that of martial arts. Fortunately, in such an era, there are really not many people who read dead books, especially the literati who grew up in the wars of the north for decades.

The same is true for the army, without affecting the strong combat strength and stability of the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou also began to release the generals outside the school and do the work of defending the army.

The most recent example is Yang Ye. Of course, for sending generals outside the school, Liu Chengyou has to choose those who are trustworthy and tested, otherwise he will rashly release the martial arts, which will add chaos to the court and the people.

From a distance, it can be said that Liu Chengyou set up defenses in Nanyishui at the beginning, and Murong Yanzhao, Luo Yanbi, Li Yun, and He Fujin have played their due role in defending against northern troubles and calming border affairs in the past two years.

Recently, Liu Chengyou has been planning to transfer his generation south to Tokyo. While increasing his control over the forbidden army, he also did more things by the way.
