Chapter 65 Progress in the Establishment

The stupid movement in the river, although it is not a small matter, it is not enough to make the court nervous to the point of being too nervous. Before the news of Li Shouzhen's rebellion arrived, everything was business as usual in Tokyo from top to bottom, and it was more orderly than before, and the government was in order. The so-called, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Liu Chengyou is as stable as Taiwan and governs as usual.

"Your Majesty, the prefectures of Henan, except for Pu, Yun, Deng, Xiang, and Anshu prefectures, have all been abolished in the local ordnance workshops, and the ordnance supervision has received more than 400 skilled craftsmen from various states for preparation, and the preparation of utensils has been successively transported into Beijing, and now the warehouses are in reserve, which can be used by the workshops for two months."

It took more than two months, and the disposal of the weapons workshop in the Central Plains can be regarded as having some results, and the progress is already fast. But judging from the results, they are all prefectures and towns with strong enough radiation control from the central government, as well as people like Zheng, Ru, Hua, Yan, and Xu who are more obedient to the imperial court. Coupled with Wang Zhang's usual rough and tough execution methods, it is almost certain that the local government has a lot of grievances about this matter.

"The edict reaffirmed the original intention and attitude of the imperial court in doing this, and told the states that the military workshop could be changed to make civilian weapons. If there are craftsmen who are dismissed, the government should make appropriate compensation! After a little thought, Liu Chengyou commanded.

"Yes!" Wang Zhang responded.

Judging from his expression, he is not particularly concerned about this, or knows the possible outcome. Even if it is rectified in this way, where can the local private weapons really be banned, if you have the heart, continue to make them secretly. Only when the authority of the imperial court is strict and gradually rectifies the hands will it be effective. Previously, Wang Zhang agreed with Liu Chengyou's idea of "striking the army", and he also saw the benefits, but now, the craftsman has harvested a large number of iron, tin, leather and other production materials, and his goal has been achieved.

For these, Liu Chengyou doesn't know? Of course, it has also been considered, just like the idea of other policies, first gradually implement the implementation and set the system, and then this is the basis for settling accounts after the autumn.

"For the rest of the town, suspend this business!" Liu Chengyou said again.

"Yes!" Wang Zhang should go down again. It is also clear that in the future, the imperial court will go all out to deal with the river, so it will not go to "flirt" places in such subsections for the time being.

"In addition, there are many types of crossbows, armor, knives, guns and other weapons used in the army, and the standards are different. Wang Zhang and Yu.

This is a method of integrating and conserving resources and improving efficiency, and it will also benefit the army's training and logistics. This proposal was deeply in line with Liu Chengyou's heart, and he agreed after only a slight turn of thought.

After Wang Zhang retreated, after a while, Zhao Shangjiao and Tao Gu were summoned to enter the hall together, even in front of Liu Chengyou, they could detect the discord between the two, a feeling of secret competition. Especially Tao Gu, originally according to his expectations, and with his relationship with Liu Chengyou, he knew that the errand of the system was stable, but as a result, Zhao Shangjiao couldn't open his eyes, and even played Tiao Chen, and also proposed a "vague name examination school" that he ignored.

"How are the preparations going?" There was no fault between Tao and Zhao, Liu Chengyou asked directly, he just needed to do things properly.

"Your Majesty, it has been properly prepared in accordance with the regulations, the Gongyuan has been sorted out and repaired, the examiners have been selected, all the three halls and Hanlin, the officers and soldiers who protect the examination are selected by the forbidden army, and the examination system process has been announced to those who come to Beijing to take the examination......" Zhao Shangjiao said like a number of family treasures, with a capable performance.

After the words fell, Tao Gu also followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the rules and regulations listed before, mostly refer to the Tang system, but the ministers and other ministers discuss and implement, it is still too complicated, Your Majesty reopened the system, and wanted to use the talents urgently, so this system, the ministers and others raised the force, and the strength was concise, in order to seek practical results, and select materials and talents for the imperial court." ”

Obviously, Tao Gu knew Liu Chengyou's preferences very well, and knew that he was very dissatisfied with many redundant things in the court, so he spoke and acted intentionally or unintentionally in accordance with Liu Chengyou's temperament. Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”

"How many candidates have registered in Shangshu Province?" Liu Chengyou looked at Zhao Shangjiao and asked.

Speaking of this, a touch of embarrassment appeared on Zhao Shangjiao's face, his voice lowered, and he lowered his head and replied: "There are a total of one hundred and eighty-nine people in the examination school. More than half of them are Jinshi Branch, followed by Ming Jing Branch......"

"So little!" Liu Chengyou was really surprised, with a little incomprehensible anger.

To be reasonable, this system has been prepared for so long, not to mention the gathering of thousands of people, it should be more lively. The Son of Heaven personally issued an edict to open the system, and there were so few people who took the exam.

At this time, Tao Gu came out of the list and said: "Your Majesty, according to the rules, those who take the exam need to take the exam in the local area, and after passing the examination, after obtaining the official explanation, submit the book, and then take the provincial test." However, due to the war, the local examination was abolished, and there were not many people who obtained the explanation, so many talented people were not qualified to take the test. ”

"The minister restarted the selection of materials with the state, and the conditions could be appropriately relaxed, but Zhao Zhiju refused." Tao Gu glanced at Zhao Shangjiao and began to give him eye medicine in person.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's mouth became stricter: "I am eager for talents and open a system, which is an Enke, an extraordinary system, why is the selection still limited to the trap." At extraordinary times, there is an extraordinary system, how can the world's talents be limited by a single explanation? When the restrictions are lifted! ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Zhao Shangjiao immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the country's selection of materials should be selected at all levels, and there should be rules for vertical and systematic actions, how can you do whatever you want?" If there is no limit, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people who are indiscriminate, and they will be mixed in the meantime. ”

Hearing Zhao's answer, Liu Chengyou didn't react, but the corners of Tao Gu's mouth were hooked, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are many officials in the local area who act recklessly and accept bribes. These indiscriminate and full of people can also have a ...... to interpret books"

"That's a minority, after all." Zhao Shangjiao's face was not good-looking, and he retorted.

"Among the scholars, most of the explanations they received were issued by ......the previous dynasty," Tao Gu said gloomily: "Besides, Your Majesty personally opened the system, and there were less than 200 candidates for the exam, so shabby, have you ever thought about the face of Your Majesty and the court?" Wouldn't it make the people of the world feel that the court is unpopular? ”

"The selection of the imperial court requires good talents, and it is to govern the people for the officials, if there is no virtue and ability, I would rather not!" Zhao handed over his beard and jumped.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel in front of the palace, Liu Chengyou raised his hand to stop the dispute, his face was heavy, he thought about it for a while, raised his eyes and said: "Erqing's words are reasonable, and the rules are naturally to be established, but if I am thirsty for talent, I should break the trap." In this way, this is the first move of the national dynasty, and a special case is opened, and the candidates who are of the right age to take the examination can take the test without looking at their qualifications or interpreting the book. ”

"In order to avoid indiscriminate filling, you can organize Hanlin and Liubu Langguan to conduct a preliminary screening, and then take the main examination. In addition, in the matter of school examination, strict control, wide and strict! ”

Although Liu Chengyou's tone was flat, it seemed unquestionable, and Tao Gu immediately responded: "Yes!" Your Majesty is wise. ”

Zhao Shangjiao was stunned, and he could only say helplessly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"When is the exam date?"

Zhao Shang replied: "It was originally scheduled for the 20th of this month, but now it is ......"

"Delay it by one month, change it to August 14, and put it before the Mid-Autumn Festival! The deadline for reporting is August 9! Liu Chengyou commanded directly.

"Yes!"

The two of them responded at the same time, and they both knew that after Liu Chengyou's change, the Shangshu Rite Department and the two of them knew how to move, and they were busy again.

However, compared to Zhao Shangjiao's little depression, Tao Gu seemed much more relaxed, and even a little proud, at least, this time Zhao Shangjiao was deflated by the emperor.

His eyes rolled, and Tao Gu took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, under this edict, the number of corporal people in the world will definitely increase exponentially, and the invigilators need to be increased." In addition, many of the scholars who have come to Tokyo are poor, and they have little food and clothing. If it drags on for another month, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for it to live in Tokyo! ”

"Tao Qing is very worried!" Liu Chengyou nodded and said directly: "Those who have reported to the Shangshu can go to Kaifeng Mansion to receive money and grain with the official certificate issued." Hou Yi, distribute it as appropriate! ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent!" Tao Gu immediately complimented.

With this move, Liu Chengyou can win the hearts of scholars, as a Tao Gu who makes suggestions, and he can also use this to improve his reputation, and with the identity of Tongzhi Zhiju, he can almost imagine the benefits he can get from it.
