Not long after Wang En left, Li Jingran walked in with a smile on his face under the leadership of the guards. Before he came, he specially asked Chen Liu what it was to ask Liu Xia to come over, but Chen Liu didn't say it, but he also gave a lot of allusions, anyway, it meant that it would be a good thing for him Li Jingran to go today.

Chen Liu is Liu Xia's right-hand man, since Chen Liudu means this, the situation should be similar, so Li Jingran deliberately burned incense and bathed at home and put on new clothes to meet Liu Xia. Li Jingran is a businessman, and good popularity is naturally one of his strengths, so he has made a lot of friends from all walks of life, as well as many businessmen.

On weekdays, Liu Xia didn't give Li Jingran much oil and water, but Li Jingran, who was in his forties, was slightly fat, and the businessman who squinted with a pair of small eyes all day long recognized Liu Xia, whether it was when Liu Xia faced Kong Youde's army to attack and people couldn't look down on Liu Xia, or when he came to Luoyang, Li Jingran never left. He had completely gambled his fate on Liu Xia.

No, it's only been a few days since he arrived in Luoyang, and Liu Xia asked Chen Liu to call him over, who is Chen Liu? That's a big shot. After that, he Li Jingran developed. Those who had a good or average relationship with Li Jingran on weekdays learned the news that Li Jingran might be prosperous within an hour, so they prepared enough gifts to go to Li Jingran's home, but at this time Li Jingran had already come to the Pingbei Hou Mansion.

Li Jingran smiled and showed a pair of small eyes, like a businessman. I only heard him say: "Master Hou, the grass people greet you." ”

Liu Xia smiled: "Excuse me, do you know why Ben Hou called you here today?" ”

Li Jingran was still the same, and said with a smile: "Back to the Hou Ye, where do the grass people know, please make it clear to the Hou Ye." ”

Liu Xia said lightly: "You are a businessman, you should be clear about the affairs of businessmen." ”

Li Jingran heard Liu Xia talking about businessmen, his face suddenly appeared solemn, and he said: "Back to the Hou Ye, if you talk about other small things, I really don't know, but if you talk about this business, although the grass people can't be said to be the most powerful, they are also very good." ”

"Ben Hou has an errand to hand over to you, but this errand is very important, Ben Hou doesn't want to mess up, and sitting on this position must bring absolute benefits to Ben Hou."

"Master Hou, please say, your subordinates will not hesitate to go to the soup!"

Liu Xia waved his hand and said: "It's okay to go to the soup and go to the fire, but this matter is really important, and now Luoyang's business has been seriously damaged because of the war." Unlike others, Ben Hou did not think that merchants were lowly, and only the prosperity of commerce could lead to the development of the military. Therefore, Ben Hou wants to make Luoyang's business develop unprecedentedly, and this task Ben Hou decided to hand over to a person that Ben Hou can trust. ”

When Liu Xia said this, Li Jingran immediately felt excited, and hurriedly said aloud: "Master Hou, please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely complete the task." ”

Liu Xia's originally easy-going face turned cold in an instant, and said: "This position is a very oily position, Ben Hou believes that it won't be long before many people in it will be corrupt, Ben Hou hopes that you will not let Ben Hou down, Ben Hou will not treat you badly." If not, don't blame Ben Hou for not remembering the old love. ”

Liu Xia's words made Li Jingran feel cold, but Li Jingran immediately thought that since Liu Xia said that he would not treat him badly, then Ding'an would not treat him badly. Therefore, he felt that he had no need to be corrupt, and he would definitely not be wronged if he followed Liu Xia.

Immediately, Li Jingran said solemnly: "Master Hou, please rest assured, his subordinates will not disappoint Master Hou!" ”

After listening to Li Jingran's words, Liu Xia's originally cold face has now eased, and Li Jingran couldn't help but sigh at Liu Xia's efforts to change his face.

I only listened to Liu Xiadao: "Luoyang's commerce has developed, and this commercial tax will be the total source of tax in the future, and the agricultural tax is planned to be gradually exempted." In the future, most of the taxes will be collected from commerce, so the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is very important, ordering all shops in Luoyang to be registered, otherwise they will be black households and need to be eradicated. No one is allowed to flee from taxes. Benhou gives you the right to conduct a general inventory of all the merchants under its current jurisdiction. ”

Li Jingran used to be just a small trader, where did she have such a big power? When Liu Xia said this, his heart instantly boiled. His face was flushed, and his lips were a little open. You must know Liu Xia's order, then the whole of Luoyang, no, as long as it is controlled by Liu Xia in the future, the business will be under his control, can this make him feel excited?

"Master Hou rest assured, subordinates, subordinates will do their best to complete the task."

---------

When the results of the exam were issued, the forty or fifty failed scholars hung their heads one by one, and some of their faces showed anger, and they were unwilling to roar at Liu Xia's injustice. Why don't you take the poetry book etiquette test? Why don't you take the Four Books and Five Classics? I am a dignified person, but I was compared to a showman, is there any reason for this? Defy! We are not convinced!

But as losers, their voices are not heeded or heard. Although Liu Xia's test paper is not absolutely fair, it can be regarded as very fair, for this, even if Liu Xia hears their roars, Liu Xia will not change anything.

In some scattered houses in the west of Luoyang City, there are more than 200 people living here, and these students are either gathered together or discussed in pairs, or in groups of three or five.

"According to the positions sent by Hou Ye, the important positions are, vice president of the Supreme Court, although I don't know why Hou Ye set up the court, but this court is independent of the county order, and it can be regarded as the same level as the county order. I believe that in the near future, Lord Chen will no longer concurrently serve as the president of the court, and then the vice president of the court may be promoted to the position of the court, which is a promising position and should be ranked first, after all, even the county order is not as big as the courtyard of the Supreme Court, and the courtyard of the Supreme Court should correspond to the prefect level. ”

"The next good positions are the positions of the county magistrates in six counties, the two chiefs of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Civil Affairs, and the positions of the courts in seven counties, and these fifteen positions should be regarded as the highest positions. This was followed by seven vice-presidents, four deputy directors of four divisions, and eleven seats. At the end should be the four chief and deputy positions in the seven counties. That's fifty-six seats.

The best seats are the vice president of the Supreme Court, and the court of the chief of the prefectural department, a total of sixteen seats, that is, sixteen people need to fill them. The second tier is eleven people, and the third tier is fifty-six people. But don't all look at those sixteen seats, after all, there are only more than 80 positions here, and there are more than 200 of us. That is to say, two-thirds of the people will be defeated, and now the general asks us to fill in the positions that we are capable of, we have to fill in according to our actual situation, you must know that we are not able to fill in what we can do, and the general will also conduct an inspection at that time, if it does not meet the requirements, it will definitely be revoked. ”

"For example, the position of the chief of the Department of Agricultural Administration, although it is a high position, but if he has no experience in agricultural administration, I believe the general will not use it. Therefore, everyone should fill in according to their own ability. ”

"The list has been sent, and each of you can only choose one job direction, and you can only choose one, for example, if you want to serve as a county order, then fill in the county order. If you want to choose the chief and deputy director of the agricultural department, or even the director of the county, write the direction of agricultural administration. No matter what office the court wants to run for, it says court. Wait for all to be filled, and then the same direction of the assessment, to see whether to meet the standard of the direction of the position, after the assessment of the same position direction of the person will be tested, the results of the test will be linked to the level of the position. Do you get it? Please fill in with caution, once you write it, you can't change it. "Until the officials for these positions are elected, Rui Junai is still the highest official. Now the volunteers of these scholars are also carried out by Rui Junai.

"Brother Wang, what position are you filling in?"

"Brother Yi really doesn't hide it, I have read Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Technique", I was born in the countryside, so I also love the land, often study and plant crops, but I didn't even get into the show, I thought that I would be a farmer for the rest of my life, I didn't expect this opportunity, and I really thank Hou Ye. Although I can't say that I know everything about agriculture, I believe that no one here can compare with me, so I decided to run for agricultural politics. ”

"Alas, Brother Wang, you are quite aware of your abilities, what do you say I should choose? Who doesn't want to be a county magistrate? I also want to do it in the next, but there are only six county order positions, and I don't have the confidence to run for it at all. Let's talk about the court, this requirement is a bit high, and it is not suitable for the next level, but the Civil Affairs Department is in line with it, but it is not there in the lower heart. As for the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Industry and Commerce, they are simply not competent under the circumstances. ”

"Since Brother Yi has come to this point, he should firmly take that step down, the county order is indeed a good position, but there are more monks and less meat. There are 16 positions in civil affairs, and this one can be contested. ”

"Alas, it can only be like this, since this is the case, I will fill in the direction of civil affairs below, I hope that I will be able to become an official with Brother Wang at that time!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Although he only wrote a few words, it took half an hour, and it was all handed in under Rui Junai's constant urging, after all, these scholars have their own concerns, and some positions they like very much, but they have self-knowledge and do not have the ability to hold them, and some do not know which one to choose in the face of several positions, and they are entangled in their hearts. So it took a long time, and few people filled it out.
