However, if this is dismissed so easily, they are not here to do things.

Although Lu Qian was stunned by what Xiao Yu said, he reacted later, and said again, "So, Xiao Xiang, will you farm, work, and do business?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "The old man won't either." ”

"Isn't this it, we scholars, as long as we can manage these farmers, craftsmen, and merchants, why do we need to do these things!" Lu Qian seemed to have found a breakthrough point and raised his voice.

"What you said makes sense, therefore, the imperial examination system of the imperial court also takes the liberal arts scholars, if you have enough talent, the position of the old man in the future, the left servant of the Shangshu, may belong to you.

However, the imperial court also needed officials who could farm, work, and do business.

Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei who you just mentioned, is an official who can farm, and under his promotion, we have a bumper harvest of cotton, melons, fruits, and grain in Guanzhong this year.

If there are many officials like him in our court who can farm, then the people in the whole world will have enough food and clothing, and although the old man is above him, he thinks that he will not play a big role in the country. Do you have any objections to this? ”

If you say that it is not good for all the people in Guanzhong to have a good harvest, then the people in Guanzhong will not agree, as soon as Xiao Yu's words came out, many people who benefited from the harvest of the fields spoke out in support, and the scene fell into a shouting again, of course, everyone is saying that Xiao Yu is right, the imperial court, there should be more officials who teach everyone to farm.

Lu Qian's expected large number of people did not appear to force the emperor to compromise, but on the contrary, they fell into the accusations of tens of thousands of people, and they felt a little weak.

"Sun Zhengming is just an example, our Datang is indeed agriculture-oriented, however, only scholars can manage the production order of farmers, you can't generalize."

"Then tell the old man, why didn't the court choose a person who knew farming to manage the farmer, but chose you, a person who didn't know farming, to manage the farmer?"

"This ······ Scholars read and reasoned and knew how to educate the people. ”

"The old man seems to have told you earlier! The imperial court also took literary students to educate the people, however, the people not only need to be reasonable, but also need to master better production and life skills.

For example, there are hundreds of large factories in Weinan, and officials who know industrial technology are needed to guide and organize them to work, and the goods they produce need people who can run business and sell them all over the world.

These things can't be taught by people like us who are readers. ”

Xiao Yu said it simply and straightforwardly, and all the people present understood it, and they all nodded in agreement.

In fact, it is not that the ancients did not study production skills, but that these research results are usually preserved in the form of written records, and over time, they are all mastered by scholars.

And these scholars who have mastered the knowledge will use the knowledge in their hands to control the stupid people who don't know anything, and in this way, the family gate valve was born.

The main reason why these family valves formed during the Han Dynasty is rich is that their production technology is one level higher than that of ordinary people, and the production under their auspices is more than that of the common people themselves.

Lu Qian was stunned by Xiao Yu's words, and the court took professionals to do professional things, and the reason made sense!

However, he still has a follow-up move, saying, "Even so, it doesn't necessarily have to be given to them an official body!" Just like in the past, weren't all craftsmen in charge of craftsmen? It would be nice to let them work under their subordinates. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu said with a smile, "First of all, the imperial court said in the announcement of the scientific examination that this scientific examination will not award officials, whether it is the Jinshi Department or other subjects, it is only to obtain the qualification of an intern, and the imperial court cannot know a candidate's ability, morality, recuperation, and whether he can be an official through an examination paper, but only by letting them actually operate in the office and see their actual ability before making a decision."

Secondly, do you say that in the past, the Ministry of Industry in the past, was as powerful and complex as the Ministry of Industry of Datang now? Do you know how many households there were in Datang before, and how many households there are in Datang now?

You shouldn't know, then, the old man will tell you that at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were no more than 10,000 workers, and less than 50,000 workers, and now, just in Shanyang and Chang'an, the population engaged in industry exceeds one million.

You shouldn't understand, because you're still talking about the past, the old man asked you, those dynasties that only used scholars as officials in the past are now safe? ”

Xiao Yu tried his best to make his voice full of anger, showing the effect that Sun Xiangfu wanted to play in the defense draft, and by the time he finished speaking, the scene was already silent.

The magical thing of the clairvoyant mirror, for the people in the market, is just a legend, they just from the name, feel that this is a very powerful thing, but do not know what its specific function, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty is invincible on the battlefield because of the clairvoyant mirror made by the workers.

Lu Qian is stuck, it seems that the imperial court's reform of the imperial examination makes sense in any way, so that he can't refute it, however, he also has a killer feature, that is, the king will definitely be more sensitive to the issue of power.

"However, the grass people think that the new imperial examination system still has many inappropriateness, and let the people decide whether a student can become an official, wouldn't it put the people's power above the imperial power, so that the people only choose to obey their own people as officials, and even with such people, form a local government that does not obey the orders of the central government, and confront the imperial power, which is not going to cause chaos in the world?"

For this aspect, Sun Xiangfu was also prepared in his defense, Xiao Yu was about to answer, but was stopped by Li Shimin, and said, "This question will be answered by me!" ”

Li Shimin took a few steps from the car to the edge of the car, glanced at all the onlookers with his eyes, and said loudly, "I have heard the ancient saying: the king, the boat, the people, the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat."

If I cultivate benevolent government and pity the people, the people will support me, it is reasonable.

If I don't cultivate benevolent government and harm the people, the people will oppose me, which is reasonable.

However, I rule the world not by the power of one person, but by the strength of all officials, how can we ensure that these officials are carrying out my benevolent government locally, and not cruel to the people? This requires oversight.

For the supervision of officials, the method used by all dynasties and dynasties was to send higher-level officials to inspect, but the officials protected each other and had little effect.

Xiao Xiang was talented, and thought of using these people who were managed by officials to supervise officials, and I felt that it was very feasible, and only the local people knew whether the officials were doing good things for the people when they were in the localities.

If an official can please all the local people, then at least he is qualified.

As for what you said, the people only choose to obey their own people as officials and the like, that is the real partiality to cover the whole words, the people can only rate the level of governance of officials, the stay of officials is determined by the various evaluations of the imperial court as the basis, public opinion is only one of the reference standards.

If there are people who think that it is beneficial for them to fight against the imperial power, then I will let him know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is under my rule. ”

Li Shimin's words are domineering and leaky, and he directly told everyone that I treat the people well, the people support me, I treat the people badly, and the people oppose me, which is a reasonable thing, however, opposition is opposition, if you want to rebel, I will destroy you, no matter how many reasons you have to oppose it, you can't beat me, everything is in vain.

This is a sensitive topic that is taboo, and Li Shimin just took it out directly, not only showing his self-confidence, but also showing his mind.

In feudal society, what is particular is to regard the monarch as the father, the son does not say anything about the father's fault, what the monarch says is right, you have to listen, what the monarch says is wrong, you must also listen, but Li Shimin's move is tantamount to announcing to the world that he allows others to say his fault.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of him that he has such an open-minded political atmosphere that the Zhenguan Dynasty in history has such an enlightened political atmosphere!

Lu Qian didn't dare to continue, because, at this time, all the onlookers looked at Li Shimin's eyes full of worship and superstition, in their opinion, this is a good emperor who really thinks about the people!

The hearts of the people are in Li Shimin, now, what he said is right, what is right, I don't know who started it, the sound of the mountain and tsunami sounded at the city gate, even the eldest grandson and queen who greeted the emperor's car at the gate of the imperial city heard it clearly.

And Lu Wenyuan and the others, who were waiting for news at the gate of the city in the teahouse, were dark-faced and knew that something was wrong.

The scene at the gate of the city has already doomed the new imperial examination system to be unshakable, and those students who originally wanted to be more powerful were crushed by all the people together, and retreated to the crowd and fled the scene.

Sun Xiangfu didn't let people investigate them deeply, the information of the main instigated people has already been recorded by him, those followers, who can reform themselves, can also give them another chance, after all, the court is short of people now!

Moreover, it doesn't matter if they are from a family, the power of the people is extremely powerful, and there are not many people who can be traitors under the supervision of the people.

In the cheers of the people, Li Shimin's car drove into the city, and Xiao Yu, who was following behind, also breathed a sigh of relief, however, the imperial examination! The important thing is that it is still in the examination process, after Li Shimin returns to the palace, he will definitely look at the examination papers given by Sun Xiangfu and Xiao Yu to each subject, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will take a lot of money to explain.

"I'm afraid that with the city gate, the number of candidates will more than double, Xiao Xiang, it seems that we still have to do a few days of hard work to arrange the examination room!"

In the conversation just now, Sun Xiangfu's eyes kept scanning the faces of the people, and there were many people who didn't know about the imperial court, and after listening to Xiao Yu's explanation, they all had a sense of excitement to try.

Because although they saw engineering, medicine, and even business, they can refer to it, but at the same time they also saw the words that the imperial examination is not awarded, which makes many people unclear about the purpose of the imperial examination held by the imperial court, most people think that since there is no official to do, then there is a hammer, but now, they all understand, it turns out that passing the examination is only the first step to be an official, as long as it passes the later practical test link, there will be an official to do.
