Ying Jieyan proposed to break the ancestral system and resume the survey, which has surprised everyone, you must know that the scholars have an official body after the middle school in the past, and they can directly enter the office, which is the charm of the imperial examination. But now it needs to be re-studied, and there are many restrictions on the assessment of officials in the Sui and Tang dynasties, which makes many children of poor families unable to pass the assessment of the officials, so that they cannot be officials all year round, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among those on the list.

However, from a practical point of view, it is obvious to all that the jinshi who have undergone further study and training in Qiongzhou can quickly get started with both official documents and government affairs. Now these people are either staff members or adjutants, and they have become the main force of the current county-level officials in Jiangnan, and after a few years of training, they will be able to take charge on their own.

In the past, the disadvantages of directly conferring officials were also obvious, a scholar who relied on hard reading the books of sages and sages, relying on endorsements, and writing empty strategies to enter the office, can be said to have no experience in officialdom, but I am afraid that I can't even figure out the process of official documents, let alone collect taxes and shepherd one side. What can they do as the head of a place, everything has to be taken care of by their staff and officials, and their brains can still be figured out after a while, and nerds can only be fooled.

Everyone also knows that there are extremely smart people in the world, but not all of them have the talent to govern the world. And the little emperor is already as smart as a demon, but he has also created such a situation after years of study and the assistance of his ministers. It is absurd and very risky to let a Jinshi who has no previous experience in governing for seven or eight years, and the prime minister to govern the government.

Lu Xiufu and others are also like a mirror, and they all know that there are both advantages and disadvantages of this discussion, and the advantages obviously outweigh the disadvantages. And the little emperor was very much in favor of it, so they did not object. But his next proposal surprised everyone even more.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that opening a branch to take a scholar is the right way, and he should be cautious, restricted, or even forbidden to confer officials on the shadow!" Bow again in a strict manner.

"Governor, this matter is very important, and it needs to be considered in the long run, don't be reckless!" After hearing this, Liu Huang immediately stepped forward and said. He knew very well that the conferral of officials in the shadow was a matter that involved all officials in the world, and to do so was tantamount to making enemies of the officials in the world. At the same time, the conferral of officials on the children of officials is also one of the important means for the emperor to entrap officials, and if he proposes a ban, his majesty will be suspicious and suspect that he has ulterior motives.

"Governor Liu, my proposal is not a momentary thought, but a long time to consider." Ying Jieyan waved his hand and said, "Among the officials, there are many unscrupulous people, that is, they have no talent and learning, and they have no morality, they are arrogant and arrogant, and they think they are smiling, but they only steal their official positions because of the shadows." What can they do, doing nothing is the best, but they want to eat the king, and try to spend the country. ”

"The governor should not cover it up in one word, there are indeed talented people among the children of officials, not all of them are gentlemen!" Liu Huang said again.

"Governor Liu, Your Majesty's grace to his courtiers is still the emperor's grace, but there are many greedy people who not only seek officials for their children, but even the servants in the family are included in it, and they are criticized by the world. However, there are people in high positions who take the opportunity to seek personal gain, so that those who are talented cannot be awarded, and those who are mediocre and incompetent are allowed to steal important positions! Ying Jieyan retorted.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Governor Liu said is very true!" Wen Tianxiang also stepped forward to give a salute when he heard this, "The redundancy of officials in the shadow will not only increase the consumption of the country, but also inevitably make the quota for the selection of talents in the scientific examination, and greatly reduce the role of the imperial examination in selecting and storing talents for the country." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of being overshadowed and conferred officials needs to be cautious, not in a hurry, and needs to be considered in the long run, so as not to float people's hearts!" Lu Xiufu said at this moment.

"Well, this matter really needs to be cautious, not as simple as an edict. It is inevitable that the repeal will be too radical, but there should not be a real risk of redundant officials in the future, and it must be carefully considered! Zhao Yu said.

He knew very well that it was not appropriate to discuss this issue at the moment, because the imperial court had decided that such a sensitive and wide-ranging issue should be put aside for the time being, although it was very realistic and urgent. Because he knows that many of people's opinions are emotional, or self-motivated. When a certain policy violates one's own interests, one immediately becomes an opponent, and when a certain policy brings benefits to oneself, one immediately becomes an applauder, and one does not have the most basic position at all, and only determines one's position based on the amount of benefits.

Therefore, it is not more than other problems, but it is easy to cause court disputes. At this moment, they recovered Jiangnan, it is the window period for meritorious deeds, you must know that many people follow him, Zhao Yu knows very well in his heart that he is not all attracted by his 'charm' and loyal to him, and there are more or less selfish intentions in it. Adding officials to the rank and sealing the shadow of a wife is the goal pursued by many people, and the sudden removal of this item at the moment will inevitably cause shock, disappoint many people, and also make their prestige plummet.

Zhao Hao had been played with and hit like this in his previous life, his promise was not fulfilled, and all his hard work and dedication were in smoke. During those days, he was disappointed, hesitant, and angry, and wanted to hold him into the sea and drown. And he knew that he would never trust him again, even if he promised to give him a higher position and salary. What's even more terrifying is that he has developed a rebellious mentality, everything he says is a lie, everything he does is wrong, and he must resolutely oppose and resist.

At present, this issue should be raised strictly, Zhao Hao thinks that the old man is not ignorant of the current situation, and he also knows his mind to eliminate the shortcomings of the previous dynasty. The redundant officials are the most difficult to eradicate, the old people are reluctant to go down, and the newcomers are constantly pouring in, and the old people must be given preferential treatment in response to the departure, and it is an important condition to be shaded. But at this time, if it is proposed in private, it is tantamount to instigating and instigating, and it is tantamount to 'betraying' oneself in disguise, so that he will simply openly propose to be this evil person, lead the spearhead to himself, and reduce the pressure of reform for him.

Thinking about Ying Jieyan in the extremely difficult situation to enter the marshal's mansion to assist himself, step by step to today, it can be said that he has made great contributions, and the meritorious deeds are rewarded with it, Zhao Yu believes that no one will be dissatisfied with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and of course it is also the biggest beneficiary of the shadow policy. His proposal is tantamount to giving up everything he deserves, and it is also full of high morality, but if he agrees to his request at the moment, it is equivalent to sending the master to the forefront. Therefore, in public and private, he could not make a decision immediately, but put it off and pressed, but he also successfully laid the groundwork for the reform of this system......

Next, Zhao Yu proposed that at this moment, the opening of the department should not be opened alone, but should increase miscellaneous courses such as Ming Law, Ming Calculation, Medicine, and Si Tian, so as to increase the number of admitted students, and comprehensively draw materials to make up for the lack of talents. At the same time, martial arts were opened, generals were selected, and the standards were lowered, and those items such as playing with big knives and stone locks were canceled, and physical fitness tests were replaced instead. As long as they can complete the prescribed projects and pass the policy, they can enter the martial arts school, and after completing the coursework, they will be awarded official positions.

After discussing for a long time, Zhao Yu is now an idler and cannot directly implement the decree, so he can only be reorganized into a document by several governors, and the queen mother can be played in the name of co-signing, and the edict can only be issued after he is acting. After doing this, he ordered to move the lakeside pavilion and rearrange the tea and snacks, but this time it was much more casual, and everyone sat around the table, which seemed much more relaxed.

"Now that we have agreed to make peace with Meng Yuan, I am afraid that there will be opposition voices in the government and the opposition, and I see that the tabloids in the city are already secretly mocking me for cowardice!" Zhao Yu took a sip of tea and said.

"Your Majesty's heart is not something that those small people can know, just follow the clouds!" Liu Di said with a smile.

"Governor Liu, this matter is not so simple, after the declaration of peace, not only did some ministers in the court write against it, but officials from various prefectures and counties also wrote to them. Although the army is still calm, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will not dare to speak out because of His Majesty's prestige, and if I am careless in the peace talks, it will cause a commotion! Lu Xiufu said worriedly.

"I also heard the complaints of my subordinates, they were puzzled by stopping in Jiangnan in such a good situation, and they were even more dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's power!" Wen Tianxiang also said.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate these rumors. But what I am most worried about is that the army is dissatisfied with the peace talks, and will think that the Queen Mother stopped the Northern Expedition, but will not blame Your Majesty, and then there will be generals who think that only Your Majesty will avoid peace if you return to the court, so Your Majesty will try to appease the generals to avoid unforeseen events! Ying Jieyan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty has lived in Yanxiang Garden for a long time, which will inevitably cause ambiguity, and once the military spirit is unstable, it is easy to cause chaos!" Lu Xiufu thought about it, and said worriedly.

"There is no need to worry about this matter, I have already discussed this matter with Jiang Shangshu, and the military department will explain the matter of peace to the armies, and I believe that the generals will understand the righteousness and understand the decision of the imperial court. And I am worried that as the number of scholars who participate in the Autumn Festival increases, they will distort the peace agreement with their patriotic fervor and cause a commotion! Zhao Hao sighed lightly.

In addition to the military headquarters, the military department issued an official document to inform all armies, pointing out the significance of the peace talks, and at the same time informing them that they should not relax their vigilance because of the peace talks, and that they should always be ready to make preparations for counterattacks and attacks. At the same time, he also kept in touch with the generals of the unified army, telling them not to be deceived by the illusion of peace negotiations, that there would be a war between the Song and Yuan dynasties, and reminding them to strictly restrain their troops and not to participate in the decision-making of the imperial court.

But this year is the year of the imperial examination, and those scholars scattered everywhere gather in one place, and the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty have a tradition of discussing state affairs, and their ideas are often very extreme, maybe just a few people's discussions will cause group incidents. At that time, it will be very tricky to deal with it, and you can't send troops to suppress the enthusiasm of the patriotic youth, right? As a result, the peace talks either ended in failure, or they had to fight an inadequately prepared war in advance under the agitation of the masses.

"Your Majesty's worries must be guarded against, and the scholars who come from all over the country must be channeled to calm their emotions and avoid the occurrence of collective writing." Liu Huang nodded and said, he used to be a student 'leader', and he led the students to carry out the anti-Jia movement, and he still has a deep understanding of the psychology of the scholars.

"Yes, it's better to be blocked. We must not only maintain the patriotic enthusiasm of the scholars, but also understand that patriotism must be rational, which cannot be achieved by a moment's enthusiasm. Don't stop it by force, let alone threaten it with punishment!! Zhao Yu said approvingly.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has a lot of confusion about peace talks, even if our dynasty is on the defensive at the moment, there is no need to negotiate peace with him and seek respite!" Liu Di listened but asked rhetorically.

"You also know that the reconquest of lost territory can not be successful in a moment, we have been operating in Qiongzhou for ten years before waiting for the opportunity, and seizing the opportunity, to return to Jiangnan." Zhao said, "Is now the best time?" Everyone knows that it is definitely not, first of all, our army has just experienced a major war and needs to be expanded and retrained; If Jiangnan falls for another ten years, we must appease people's hearts; In addition, Qiongzhou's ten-year savings were almost exhausted in the First World War, and they all relied on seizures to hold on to the tax collection in the summer of this year. ”

In addition, at the moment, Zhenjin has just inherited the throne, and he obviously needs time to stabilize the situation. However, if we choose to start a war at this time, although we can win the initial victory by taking advantage of its decline, it will just make the various factions of the Mengyuan and Yuan feel threatened, and turn them to unite together against the enemy, which will inevitably increase their prestige. And we were not prepared enough, and the result was only a victory and then a defeat. However, if a peace conference is held, even if real money has time to integrate various forces, it is still an exchange of interests, or a threat of force, it is still a superficial submission, and the bottom still has its own intentions, and it is difficult to truly integrate it. ”

"What Your Majesty said is that the threat of annihilation will make the various factions and kings of the Mengyuan Dynasty release their past suspicions and win the support of all tribes. The peace agreement was made because of a small loss, but it was used by His Majesty! Wen Tianxiang nodded yes, and his heart was even more emotional, obviously His Majesty saw farther and calculated more precisely, but Zhenjin and the little emperor lost the temple in the first confrontation, and they were at a disadvantage.

"Well, Your Majesty's worries can't wait." Ying Jieyan was very pleased and said, "The recovery of the Central Plains is not only based on enthusiasm, but also requires rational wisdom. And this is not enough, the rise of a country must also have the patience to lie down and taste the courage, and must wait for the best time to strike like a tiger and a leopard. Now that they want to talk, we will talk with him, and if we want to delay time, we will delay until the time is ripe! ”

"What Mr. said is right, we will talk if they want to, and the negotiation is nothing more than replacing the battlefield with swords and swords on the table, but it is also a bloodless battle of interests." Zhao Yu poured tea for everyone and said, "At present, should we continue to cultivate obscurity and spend a period of time that may still be difficult in the future, or should we seize the opportunity of the recent change of Meng Yuan Khan's throne to send troops to fight for Jiangbei?" I thought there was always a question of light and heavy, and it was indeed easy for many people to feel confused, so I thought about grabbing the eyebrows and mustaches, but I couldn't tell the difference between sesame seeds and watermelon. ”

"I thought that recovering the Central Plains, although it was our goal to herd horses, we still had a core interest in it......" Zhao Yu took a sip of water and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the people's ......
