The room was quiet for a while, and everyone knew what Han Qi was doing. Although he is in Wuyi, the people in the prefectures and counties of Hedong are basically the old people in the past, and as long as something happens, there is no doubt that it is his old subordinates, with the secret report that Zhong Hao copied out for him, Han Qi must immediately come up with a decision and make a decision.

Hedong is a dead man, this is inevitable. Which people can be given up, and which people need to be saved, this is up to Han Qi to choose by himself.

Several people drank tea silently, and after a while, Wei Bin looked at Xue Ping and said: "Xue Shangshu, in the past two months, you have reduced a lot, you are a Shangshu, why do you need to run all over the place to supervise and inspect?" Just let the people down there do it. ”

Xue Ping shook his head: "Sitting in the room, where can I get first-hand information, and it is easy to make decisions with my head on my head." Every year, the development of these projects is a large amount of money, and every state is staring at it! There are some places that need to be done urgently, and some places can be slowed down, where can you see these things from the twists and turns in various places? Just reading their memorabilia makes you feel that every place is in dire straits, and you can't solve it right away. In fact, where is that? That's how much money is allocated to the Ministry of Industry every year, and the money must be used on the knife edge! The Ministry of Industry is understaffed, except for the necessary left-behind personnel, the rest have to run outside, these months, is also the most critical time! ”

Zhong Hao said faintly: "When we were discussing this matter, we were worried that such a thing would happen, Li Xiang wanted to trap you with cumbersome specific affairs, and now it seems that this is really the case!" ”

Xue Ping was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I've figured it out now." At the beginning, we thought about things simply, just looking at the current departments, which one is not busy. I used to think it was very relaxed, but now it's very busy, and it's not seasonal, but it's all year round. Even Tian Lingzi of Taichang Temple, although he is in Zhenzhou, he is also very busy now, and the person in charge of Taichang Temple, especially the medical and health department, makes Tian Lingzi want to have a few doppelgangers. And then there's the household, Xia He, a woman, is so busy that she doesn't have a day or night, I went to look for her several times, and all I saw was an unkempt, ink-faced person, you say, what other face do I have to say anything else? ”

Several people fell silent.

"In fact, Li Xiang's political reform plan simply cannot tolerate people floating around, nor can it tolerate those redundant organs, and I have to say that I admire this. Although busy, at least in the entire imperial court organization, what I saw was a thriving and vigorous atmosphere, rather than the redundancy of people. Xue Ping said.

"Over there in Weizhou, there are actually a lot of officials, they are all familiar with them, and they can do things when they come up." Wei Bin said: "Now there is such a shortage of people here in Wuyi, why not ......"

"Needless to say." Xue Ping said: "Even if they come, will they be able to get started?" The two of you are capable of being able to do it, but now, have you completely gotten started? What's more, in Weizhou, so many problematic people were really found. As a spy alone, dozens of them have been found so far. ”

"Maybe it's a wrongful killing."

Xue Ping shook his head and said, "I've read all those case files, and I can't fake them." At this moment, Li Xiang has even more reason to examine it in detail. In fact, you have also seen that the people who are really okay have also been released. This time, hundreds of people participated in the imperial examination, and hundreds of people came from Weizhou. ”

"Speaking of this imperial examination, Xue Shangshu, Li Xiang made it clear that it was targeted!" Zhong Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Don't say anything else, just those who are assigned to other states to take the exam, just running back and forth, I'm afraid it will make people tired. ”

"I can't say anything more about it. In order to allow them to take the exam, I have done my best, according to the law, they missed the county exam, they are not eligible to take the prefectural exam, Li Xiang has already opened his mouth, I have to inch in, but I don't know what to do, some things, you can fight on the basis of reason, some things, but you must stop in moderation. If these people are really gold, since they have been given a stage, then those who should shine will naturally shine, not to mention, aren't those who are the best in learning already staying in Yizhou and Wuyi Mansion? ”

Zhong Hao glanced at Wei Bin and said, "I'm a little worried now. The exam here, the first strength, focuses on the ability of the lifters to solve problems, and the people we stayed in Yizhou, Wuyi, Zhenzhou, these places are quite famous, but they are all famous for poetry and songs. ”

Hearing this, Xue Ping couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and turned his head to stare at Wei Bin, as the right attendant of the ministry, Wei Bin was in charge of the specific handling of this matter.

"Xue Shangshu rest assured, those people are by no means in vain." Wei Bin hurriedly said.

After looking at Wei Bin for a long time, Xue Ping didn't have a seizure after all, Zhong Hao's words obviously had other meanings, but they didn't say it explicitly, but vaguely, Xue Ping also guessed something. And this is what makes it difficult for him to accept.

"Xue Shangshu, there are a lot of problems in the martial arts test! Originally, I thought that the martial arts, the children of the noble families we specially selected, would definitely shine, but now that the examination rules have become like this, it is very unfavorable to them. ”

"On top of this matter, I support Li Xiang." Xue Ping said in a deep voice: "Now we select materials, we are going to send them to the battlefield, after the martial arts test, they are assigned to each team, the starting point is the team, that is the Renyong captain with one hundred and fifty people, do you know how much merit an ordinary soldier needs to make if he wants to rise to this position?" ”

Glancing at the two of them, Xue Ping continued: "Of course we have to fight for what we should fight, but there is a prerequisite, that is, to ensure that we have been winning non-stop." Only if there is victory, there is a fight, if there is a defeat, what is there to fight, everyone has to die. And now what wants to ensure that we have a chance to fight is naturally the army that constantly defeats the enemy, and we still have many enemies. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the emphasis on practice in this exam. Again, it's gold, and it always shines. If they really have the heart to serve, even if they can't pass the test, but if they sign up for the army, with their own combat effectiveness, they will inevitably be given priority in admission, and if they enter the army, they can easily become the captain of the army. If you want to be a military attaché, you can't only do martial arts, during the war, the fastest promotion is none other than the military attaché. ”

Jiang Hao nodded, "Shangshu is reasonable, but we are biased." ”

"In the outer city of Wuyi, there are recruiting points all year round, this time, I want to see, how many of our noble families, as well as those people from wealthy families, just want to be an official, or do they really want to serve the country?" Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed: "In the direction of Pingzhou, Zhang Zhongwu has gathered 100,000 slave troops, where is Liu Chenglin expanding the army, and the recruiting point here in Wuyi is also doing this intensively, if you want to serve the country, where is not the opportunity?" ”

Speaking of which, Xue Ping was very disappointed in this matter, from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that these people would be a little more courageous, this time under the rules of martial arts, it is inevitable that these people who have no war experience will fall off the list in large numbers, but if they can sign up for the army, starting from the most ordinary soldiers, it will also make Xue Ping's face more brilliant, if a few talents can be produced, it will be able to improve Li Ze's concept of this class.

I hope that after the martial arts exam, there will be a climax of enlisting in the recruitment office of Wuyi, and the protagonists are these young people.

He decided where he would go to see for himself when the time came.

Footsteps sounded outside, and Han Qi strode in.

"Three men, six horses." Han Qi sat down straight and said, "Day and night, rushing to Hedong, we must do what we can to remedy it before the Yushitai makes a move, the damned people will die, and the money that should be returned will be returned in place." ”

Xue Ping nodded.

The damned people that Han Qi said will die, of course, not only those who are corrupt, those people naturally deserve to die, but I am afraid that more people will lose their lives in this matter, because the clues must be cut off, otherwise, Yushitai will still follow the vine and cause an earthquake in the officialdom in Hedong.

Li Ze has been waiting for such an opportunity to enter Hedong.

Xue Ping was a little sad.

Why did such a thing happen in Hedong? Why didn't there be such large-scale organized corruption under the rule of Wuwei Jiezhen?

Naturally, there was corruption under Wu Wei's rule, but they were all individuals, which was fundamentally different from what happened in Hedong this time.

"Zhong Hao, after this incident, you may want to eat some hanging, you have to be prepared." Xue Ping thought for a moment and said, "After the incident, Yang Kai must know that the news was leaked by you, and this is against the rules of the Imperial Historical Observatory. ”

"I'll take the initiative to talk to Yang Kai about this at the meeting in three days' time." Zhong Hao said.

Xue Ping nodded: "Well, this is a good way." ”

"Let's just say that I asked about Hedong first, and you inadvertently said that you leaked your mouth!" Han Qi said: "Throw the problem on me, and I will explain it to Li Xiang." ”

"I see." Zhong Hao glanced at Han Qi with some gratitude.

After a few more words, they got up and took their leave.

After leaving the inner city, Wei Bin said goodbye to Zhong Hao, both of them lived in the outer city, but one was in the east of the city and the other was rented in the west of the city. The two had just broken up, and Zhong Hao hadn't taken a few steps when a flying horse came and stopped in front of him.

"Zhong Zhongcheng, Xue Shangshu is invited."

Zhong Hao was a little stunned, so he could only walk back with the people who came, but Xue Ping's carriage was at the junction of the inner city and the outer city, not far from the place where he had just broken up with Wei Bin, and Xue Ping had been following behind them.

After getting into Xue Ping's carriage, Zhong Hao was a little apprehensive.

"Tell me, what did Wei Bin do? There seems to be something you haven't said today. Xue Ping asked with a calm face.

Zhong Hao hesitated for a moment and said: "Xue Shangshu, the assignment of those Wenju to various places for exams was done by Wei Shilang, Yizhou, Wuyi These places have a large number of admissions, and there is no need to travel, so some people sent money to Wei Shilang and stayed in Wuyi, Yizhou, Zhenzhou and other places. ”

"How do you know about such a private thing?"

"There are records in the Imperial Observatory." Zhong Hao said.

Xue Ping was stunned for a while, and then said, "It's really embarrassing." ”
