Pei Yi is an old minister in the court, and he was not surprised by His Majesty's sudden arrival: "There is also the official document that Lingnan just sent has not yet been approved, but the old minister has already sent someone to expedite the processing, and all of them must be returned from Menxia Province before the New Year." ”

"The road is far away, and there are delays, and I don't blame you." Li Xinchen bowed slightly, "I came this time, firstly, to see if there are any problems with the work of Menxia Province these days, if there is anything needed, just inform me, and I also want to ask the waiter what he thinks about the current peace talks between the north and the south." ”

Pei Yi's expression became serious, and he made a gesture of please, inviting Li Xinchen to sit down. The Tongshi Pavilion is also under his command, so it makes sense for Li Xinchen to consult him about his ideas.

Immediately, Pei Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now Your Majesty is making peace with both sides at the same time, the risk is too great, although Your Majesty can get benefits from both sides, but it is inevitable to lose the trust of both sides, so it is actually worth the loss for us." ”

Li Xinchen didn't speak in a hurry, he came to Menxia Province this time, firstly, to see if any of these mansions were completely lazy when it was about to be the New Year, and secondly, he also wanted to ask Pei Yi's opinion on this matter, after all, it was Yang Su and other young people who proposed to do so - this young man was relative to the rest of the old ministers, so Li Xinchen also wanted to see what Pei Yi, an old man who had been in the court for so long, thought it was.

"A gentleman can't stand without faith," Pei Yi got up and poured a glass of water for Li Xinchen, "Your Majesty, please." ”

Li Xinchen smelled the faint fragrance of tea, but his eyes looked straight at Pei Yi through the hazy mist: "Then according to the opinion of the waiter, when it is delayed?" ”

Pei Yi smiled and said: "The old minister is not Zaifu, let alone Your Majesty, this world should be war or peace, it depends on Your Majesty's thoughts." If Your Majesty feels that it is necessary to drag it out, then it is okay to delay, if it is to be broken, then it should be broken cleanly, so that when we do it next year, there is no need to bear the infamy. ”

Li Xinchen suddenly smiled bitterly: "This bad guy is not easy to do, and good people are not easy to do." ”

Pei Yi nodded: "In the troubled times, is there anything good to do?" Your Majesty must know that as long as Your Majesty does not make a decision for a day, the two in the north may never really start a war, and it will not be beneficial for our Han to continue such a stalemate. ”

Li Xinchen took a deep breath, indeed, now the big man is certainly grabbing benefits from both sides, but Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian are not fools, how can they really be so cheap big man all the time, if the big man keeps riding the wall like this, then they may never go to war, after all, no one knows which side the big han will fall to in the end.

Time has been dragging on, it may not be a good thing for the Han, even if Li Xinchen finally has gunpowder now, and his confidence is rarely getting harder, but it does not mean that Li Xinchen has enough capital to compete with the two populous forces in the north.

It seems that this matter must be discussed with Yang Su and others as soon as possible and a decision must be made.

And Li Xinchen's words changed: "Then Aiqing thinks, where is the biggest problem in the current court?" What could be improved? ”

Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, Li Xinchen asked him this kind of question straightforwardly, so that he didn't know how to answer it for a while, but it is true that anyone who says something must have some concerns, but Pei Yi, as the father of the general of the dynasty, has a strong background behind him, and he is indeed qualified to answer this question.

"Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty has expanded its territory for thousands of miles in one year, and it needs not only population, but also talents." Pei Yi said lightly, "Your Majesty's ambition is thousands of miles, and it is impossible to be confined in the south of the Yangtze River, and therefore, how to break the routine and seek talents is what Your Majesty should consider the most, without the support of talents, this huge dynasty is just an empty shelf, showing its teeth and claws externally, but it is a mess internally, so over time, this lame giant will eventually fall because of imbalance." ”

Li Xinchen's gaze gradually sharpened, and Pei Yi hurriedly put down the teacup and solemnly arched his hand: "The minister lost his words, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

And Li Xinchen smiled and stretched out his hand to help Pei Yi: "What is Aiqing's crime?" is the so-called word to wake up the person in the dream, Aiqing's words are really thought-provoking. ”

If a dynasty wants to be truly strong, it cannot only be tough on the outside, which is called reckless military force, and there must be a perfect talent flow system internally, so that the entire dynasty can "make the best use of people and materials" to meet the needs of the dynasty's expansion.

The problem of talent is indeed one of the problems that Li Xinchen has been thinking about for a long time, compared with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty lacks people, and naturally there is a lack of talents, and if more talents are buried in the wilderness, then this gap will become bigger and bigger.

Now the way to recruit talents adopted by the two sides is still the nine-product Zhongzheng system, but on the basis of the nine-product Zhongzheng system, Li Xinchen still made certain changes, the establishment of the academy is the most important part, and now Chengdu Academy, Jinling Academy and Yuelu Academy have begun to enroll students, and will send the first batch of graduates to Dahan in the spring of next year. These students will directly obtain official status after entering Taixue for further study.

The enrollment method of these colleges is no different from the imperial examination in later generations, but because this enrollment method is only limited to the academy, and has not been extended to the talent selection of the entire imperial court, it has not caused a large-scale backlash from the family.

Although in the court of the Han Dynasty, the factions of the southeastern scholars, the Bashu family, the northern family and other factions are complex and have some contradictions with each other, but once Li Xinchen opens the imperial examination, it is likely that these families will join forces to oppose it.

There is no shortage of long-term visionary people among these families, how can they not see the threat of the imperial examination to the family. Perhaps in a short period of time, the talents selected by the imperial examination are still mainly the children of the family, but with the deepening of the imperial examination and the peace and stability of society, there will definitely be more children of the poor family and even ordinary people who will stand up and snatch away the position that originally belonged to the family.

But as Pei Yi said, if Li Xinchen does not adopt a new talent selection method, then with the postponement of time, the entire Han Dynasty will be the same as the previous Southern Dynasties, generation after generation will gradually sink into the lustful dogs and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, drunk and golden, and no longer have the courage to guard the frontier.

Now Li Xinchen has revitalized the entire army and local administration through the reform of the army and the political system, but if he really wants to make the entire Han Dynasty run normally, it needs a steady stream of talents, that is, a steady stream of living water to bring in.

Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water.

Li Xinchen's hand tapped lightly on the table, and after a long time, he whispered:

"That's right, I want to change it, but I can't rush it."
