"Zhang Shangshu, let's talk about this scientific expedition!" Li Ze changed his posture and leaned forward slightly, obviously, this matter made him more concerned than the previous tax matter.

I can't help but be unconcerned.

The Zhenzhou court was newly established, the emperor fled from Chang'an almost alone, and the current court is an empty shelf, and all government functions are basically carried by the team of the original Wuwei Festival Town. A large number of vacancies, urgently need someone to come up, and like Luzhou, Weizhou and other Zhaoyi areas, the war almost swept away the original government, a large number of officials or killed or injured or fled or surrendered, no matter which one, in the new government system, naturally there is no place for them, these vacancies also need to be filled.

If you want to do something, you must first choose people.

If you want to do good, you naturally have to choose the right person.

And for Li Ze, there is one more layer of meaning, which is also something that everyone is uncertain about, that is, the person who is elected, it is best to be loyal to him Li Ze and even to the emperor.

This is the first scientific expedition after the official establishment of the small court in Zhenzhou, and it has a strong symbolic significance, and Li Ze cannot be ignored.

Zhang Hui nodded, cleared his throat, and said: "Li Xiang, this scientific examination is divided into two aspects: Wenju and Wuju, although they are both presided over by the Ministry of Rites, in terms of martial arts, the Ministry of War has the greatest right to speak. In view of this martial arts examination, the controversy within the military department is extremely fierce. ”

Li Ze nodded, the so-called internal dispute in the military department was fierce, and the foundation was the dispute between Han Qi and You Yong.

"You talk about Wenju and Wuju first, and I will summon Han Qi and You Yong when I go back, and listen to what they have to say before making a decision!" Li Zedao.

"Good!" Zhang replied: "The literary examination is divided into the government examination and the palace examination, the first in various places, the government examination is already in the intensive preparation, ten days later, the examination will begin." The palace examination is tentatively scheduled for two months later. Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are all involved, but according to Li Xiang's requirements, we are still more focused on strategy and current affairs, and the scores in these two aspects occupy 60% of the entire volume, and the others occupy 40%. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Hui smiled and said, "Li Xiang, after all, the imperial court still needs all kinds of talents. Even if this person is inferior to others, even if he can make a good poem, a good word, and a good endowment, then he can also make contributions that he can do. ”

Li Ze smiled and nodded: "Zhang Shangshu is thoughtful. Indeed, we don't have anything to do with it anyway. There is something to be desired, and it is natural to take it. However, the Ministry of Officials still has to focus on the subsequent employment of personnel. ”

Cao Xin said: "This is natural, when the time comes, after this group of people comes out, the officials will naturally arrange the most suitable tasks for them according to their abilities." The custodian will not take the person who is good at water conservancy to the household department to count and settle the accounts. ”

Everyone in the room laughed.

"There is a specialization in the art industry. Let professional people do professional things. Li Ze said: "Strategy, can let us understand the person's political attitude, insight ability, understanding of the current situation and strategic ability. Current affairs, on the other hand, are the professional ability and problem-solving ability. And right now, the worst of us is actually the problem-solving person. In order to solve the problem of financial and taxation personnel, the household department has worked hard for two years of training, and Xia He and Zhang Lei have made great efforts to this end. In the future, the Ministry of Rites will also make more efforts to cultivate talents with certain professional abilities, and cultivate talents will become one of your most important functions in the future. ”

Zhang Hui nodded.

"Do we have a lot of professional talents in water conservancy, roads, shipbuilding, ordnance, mathematics, iron smelting and many other industries? Not really! Li Zedao: "Let's look at all walks of life now, except for the household department has a special school for financial and taxation training, the rest are still relying on word of mouth, and the master and disciple are carried out in such an extremely backward way, a little bit less, and some things that have accumulated countless years of experience are at risk of being lost." Zhang Shangshu, I have such an idea, to gather the top people from all walks of life, set up a school, so that they do not have to work on the front line, but let them do the work of preaching, teaching and solving doubts, and write their experience and experience into teaching materials, and pass on to future generations, what do you think? We need to do it as a system to cultivate talents, rather than allowing them to grow naturally and slowly. ”

"That's quite a project!" Zhang Hui was speechless. "Why did Li Xiang suddenly have such an idea? There are many problems in this, in addition to the difficulty of the operation itself, there is also the problem that those skilled craftsmen themselves are not necessarily happy, which is the cost of their food, but they are all passed on to their children. ”

"Bad habits!" Li Ze said coldly: "The new court, the new atmosphere, we have to change the customs, tell them that the more talents they cultivate, the more rewards they will get, and their knowledge will be compiled into a book and go down in history." If you want money, you can give it to them, and if you want officials, you can give it to them. For the sake of these knowledge, I, Li Ze, can sell my official beard. ”

"I understand what Li Xiang means, this matter, after going down, I will let the people below start to make plans and prepare." Zhang replied.

"Is there anything else you are embarrassed about?"

"Yes!" Zhang replied: "Your Majesty is hunting in the north, Zhu Wen is self-reliant, and there are more and more people who have fled to our side, and most of those who have the ability to escape to our side are people with a good foundation, many of them are the children of the original eunuchs, famous families, and now there are more and more people who have passed the review in Weizhou, and now most of these people are gathered in Zhenzhou or Wuyi." For this imperial examination, they were very enthusiastic. However, they came too late and had already missed the registration for the government examination, so they could not participate in the government examination, so they naturally could not participate in the palace examination. ”

"This year is Enke, and the exam is specially held for His Majesty's Northern Hunting, and there will be another exam next year, they still have a chance!" Li Zedao.

"Li Xiang, for those who aspire to be officials, if they fall behind for a year, they are afraid that they will fall behind for a lifetime." Gongsun Changming suddenly smiled and said: "Besides, these people originally wanted to be officials, and even some families have been officials for generations, so they naturally understand this truth." Coupled with the organization of people with intentions, a wave of drums has been formed, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that these people will make trouble. ”

"I want to take a seat." Cao Xin said: "Now that there are many gaps in court officials, it is naturally easier to get good seats and occupy a more favorable situation, there are only so many seats, and after accounting for a large number of seats this year, there will be fewer seats to choose from next year." ”

Li Ze thought for a while, and suddenly said, "If you say that you give them a chance, will they be able to pass our people?" ”

"It's hard to talk about strategy, sometimes it's really related to talent, and it's also related to insight. But when it comes to the times, our people definitely have the upper hand. Cao Xin said.

"If that's the case, it's easy to do." Li Ze sneered: "Zhang Shangshu, then adjust the score distribution of the entire test paper, greatly increase the proportion of current affairs, and lower the scores in other aspects." ”

"So, Li Xiang is going to give them a qualification for the exam?"

"I'll do it once, too!" Li Ze smiled maliciously: "Give them supplementary registration so that they are eligible to participate in the government examination." However, these people have to be distributed to various states for me, not concentrated in Zhenzhou and Wuyi, and allocate some places in each state. ”

"It's a good idea!" Gongsun Changming is the best at conspiracy and trickery, as soon as Li Ze said this, he immediately understood what Li Ze meant: "There are only ten days, as soon as the quota in each state comes out, in ten days, some people are only afraid that they will have to go to the states to take the government examination day and night, and they will be tired all the way, and their state is naturally not good, and then they will face competition from those guys in various states, but those who can sign up for this exam still have some talents." There are many outstanding people in it, and if these people can really stand out from the government examination, they will really be regarded as talents. When they go to the palace exam and compete with the heroes of various states, they are afraid that they will lose a large number of them, so they have a few left, not to mention that the test is not what they are good at. can really break through two levels in a row, and finally take the ranking, isn't it still up to Li Xiang to decide? ”

"If you can stand in front of me in such a situation, I don't mind giving them a good position." Li Ze was happy: "Because such a person can indeed be called a talent." ”

"Then after I go back, I will make an announcement overnight." Zhang Hui smiled: "You have to implement Li Xiang's favor." ”

Everyone in the room burst out laughing.

"After the government examination, it is the palace examination, and when the time comes, there are more than 3,000 candidates who come to Wuyi, and at that time, it is also the coldest time of the year. Don't let the candidates have any accidents at this time, our Wuyi is already very crowded, after these people come, they must be guaranteed in terms of housing and food, so that they can take the exam in a good state, after all, we will use talents in the future! ”

"This Li Xiang rest assured, the Ministry of Rites has set up a special preparatory team, like the place where he lives, has been coordinated by the Wuyi garrison, and when the time comes, a part of the military camp can be vacated to specifically accommodate these candidates. There are also arrangements for eating and drinking, and going to and from the examination room, of course, this is also a fee, but compared to their expenses outside, we can only be regarded as a cost price here. ”

"Wuwei Academy is used as an examination room, how are you prepared?"

"The last batch of houses has been almost built, and it is guaranteed that the exams will start smoothly in two months." Zhang Hui said neatly: "This is thanks to the household department for allocating a special fee for us." ”

"The Luncai Ceremony, a major event of the country, is naturally among the special events." Xia He said with a smile.
