Chapter 1005: The Horse is an Honest Man
After the small meeting with Liu Bagou and them, Li Xuan directly called Lei Wan in, and then asked the military to come up with a plan to organize displaced people to carry out militarized reclamation.
When Lei Wan first heard Li Xuan's statement, he was still a little surprised!
It's no wonder he was surprised, after all, strictly speaking, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the military, and the Tang Dynasty has not carried out reclamation before, and there are more ways.
However, whether it is to organize the resettlement of displaced people or the organization of resettlement of migrants, it is a civil affairs and has nothing to do with the military.
But now, Li Xuan is asking the military to come up with a plan to organize the displaced people to settle down.
So he was a little puzzled, and immediately said: "So, are these young and strong homeless people recruited also considered soldiers?" ”
Lei Wan's question is very critical, if it is a soldier, then it is not a good thing for the military, which will reduce the impression of the soldier and the status of the society, the status of the soldier in the Tang Dynasty is relatively high.
Even if they are ordinary soldiers, after retiring and returning to their hometowns, they can still be patrol officers, let alone officers, if they retire, they will either continue to serve as officers in the reserve division units, or they will directly go to the local area to serve as civilian officials, and their comprehensive social status is relatively high.
This can be seen from the fact that the conditions for recruiting soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are so strict now, and the entrance exam of the Martial Arts Academy is becoming more and more difficult year by year.
But if it is not a military status, then the military has no legitimate reason to manage these displaced people.
Because the Tang Dynasty has always implemented strict separation of military and political affairs, the military is not allowed to meddle in local civil affairs, and conversely, civilian officials cannot dictate military affairs.
For this problem, Li Xuan naturally has his own plans, otherwise he would not have called Lei Wan over.
He said: "The young and strong people of the cantonment are included in the military register, organized into the cantonment establishment, and implement comprehensive militarized management!" ”
It is inappropriate to directly include these homeless young people in the regular army or even in the reserve force, but it is also necessary to treat them as soldiers, because then the military will have no way to manage them.
Therefore, Li Xuan planned to use the cantonment regiment in the prisoner of war camp as a sample to build a cantonment formation.
In the future, not only the newly recruited displaced people, but even those prisoners of war in the existing prisoner of war cantonment camps, if they are unwilling to leave the army, can also be directly transferred to the cantonment establishment.
When Lieutenant General Lei Wan heard this, he wisely did not continue to ask too many questions, but said that he would organize people to get out the charter of the cantonment regiment when he turned around.
After all, this is a matter personally ordered by the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, Lei Wan, as a military general, also knows that Shaanxi, and even Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other regions, the public security situation is not very good, even if there is military force as a deterrent, there is no need to worry about any storms for a while, but high-pressure pure military means are not a long-term solution.
After Lei Wan went out, Li Xuan started the second meeting, this time the meeting was simple, it was to discuss the opening of several ports in the north.
The Tang Dynasty has already defeated the northern provinces, but the Tang Dynasty's trade ports, currently there are only five, in order to develop a balance, but also to develop the economy of the northern coastal areas, indirectly promote the Tang Dynasty's control of the northern region, especially Hebei Youzhou, to support the development of the coastal economy in the north is necessary.
And the treaty port is the best policy support for the development of coastal economy!
Internally, it has also been agreed that Tianjin in Hebei Province and Jiaozhou in Shandong Province will be the two latest treaty ports.
As for a series of policies on treaty ports, the Tang Dynasty also had a mature plan, and basically just copied it directly, so there were not too many waves in this matter, and it was just finalized.
By the time this meeting was over, three hours had passed, and the palace examination was about to end!
Before the end of the palace test, Li Xuan went back again!
With the end of the palace examination, there will be a tense marking of the papers in the future, although it is said that it is the palace examination, Li Xuan will personally read the papers, but in fact, Li Xuan cannot really read all the test papers.
The test papers he personally looked at, only two subjects were the top ten in the general examination, and the top ten in the palace examination at the same time, if there were top ten in the top ten in the palace examination, it would be postponed to the back.
The ministers who read the papers will send a total of forty copies of the papers to Li Xuan, so that Li Xuan can read the papers himself.
At the same time, considering the questions in the palace examination, the policy theory is the main thing, and the policy theory is more subjective, unlike the general examination, the answers are relatively fixed, as long as you study well enough, you can pass the exam.
And the palace test is based on strategy!
Therefore, in order to ensure fairness as much as possible, there will be five examiners for each test paper to cross-score, and it is anonymous cross-marking, and finally the average score is taken for preliminary ranking, as for the top 20 in each subject, Li Xuan personally decides.
After the officials who were waiting for the papers to cross-score, they sent Li Xuan forty test papers, Li Xuan personally read them one by one and felt that it was okay, so there was no accident, and the rankings were directly arranged according to the scores.
Follow-up things, basically Li Xuan basically doesn't pay attention to it, after all, this imperial examination is held every year, for this kind of thing, there is already a whole set of processes, Li Xuan only needs to ensure that the annual imperial examination is gradually improved according to his plan, he doesn't care about the specifics, and he doesn't have so much time to care.
After finishing the imperial examination, Li Xuan also had time to deal with Princess Huichen's marriage, and immediately summoned Princess Huichen's fiancé to meet this person.
And when he saw this person, Li Xuan also knew why the Empress Dowager Bai chose this person as the husband of Princess Huichen, this person's body shape and Princess Huichen are quite incompatible, with a sturdy figure, a slightly bearded and slaggy face, this figure and this appearance are still in the future generations, and it is more than enough to go to the United States to be a tough guy or something.
Well, but there is definitely no hope of becoming popular in China, because the aunts in power in the entertainment industry in later generations like delicate and white-skinned little fresh meat.
The strong man in front of him is obviously a tough guy style, and he doesn't match the cream boy!
This young man who looks like a tough guy is restrained in front of Li Xuan, and he looks very honest, just like the honest child that Empress Dowager Bai said!
And although he looks like a tough guy, his words are elegant, and when he speaks, he knows that he is from a scholar's family.
To be honest, such a person is worthy of Princess Huichen, Li Xuan feels a little wronged by him!
However, Li Xuan knows better that this is just the surface of this person, in fact, this young man who looks strong and handsome is not a fuel-efficient lamp, according to the secret investigation of Hantong, this person has used a lot of small means in order to become the first horse of the Tang Dynasty.
But those were all innocuous things, and Li Xuan didn't care too much about it.
This person's surname is Lan, his name is strict, he was born in the family of the gentry in Jiangxi, his father Lan Quanbin, the former Ming Juren, after Wang Shi entered Jiangxi, he was recruited as an official, the first prefect of the county, and then he was angry one after another, and is currently serving as the prefect in Shandong.
Why? Because the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that in addition to serving in the Zongwu Mansion, the horse is not allowed to hold other public positions, regardless of civilian or military positions.
Because of this rule, anyone who is a little ideal and wants to enter the official career will not be willing to be a colt.
And the Lan family is a scholarly family, Lao Tzu is the prefect of the four grades, and most of these sons are also going to embark on the road of entering the imperial examination.
However, Lan Zhangyan is not the eldest son of the Lan family, but the second son, and at the same time, this person seems to be a good person, but this is just a quality that an ordinary reader should have, and when it comes to the field, it seems a little insufficient.
This person just couldn't pass the exam in the pre-Ming Dynasty, waiting for the Tang Dynasty to come, and took advantage of the relatively relaxed imperial examination in the early two years to get a lifter.
But at that time, the Tang Dynasty raised people, which was actually worthless, and was basically a scholar with a good foundation to participate in the imperial examination.
The competition is very small, and it is not at all the same as the fierce competition now.
Later, he participated in several examinations, but he was named Sun Shan, and even Guozijian and Jinling University could not be admitted, which shows that he is really a bit watery.
Although Lan Zhangyan is not good at studying, but his eldest brother is very good, although he has not yet participated in the examination, he has already entered the Guozijian Literature Academy, and over time, it is very easy to pass the Jinshi examination.
In other words, with his eldest brother's bright future, the Lan family no longer expects him to enter the official career, and let him eat and wait for death.
But he was not reconciled!
There is no hope of entering the office normally, you let him run to be an ordinary clerk or something like that as a lifter, and he is unwilling to stay up for a lifetime as a middle-level official, and finally find a way to take another path and become a colt.
When a horse can not enter the office, which is unacceptable for the vast majority of scholars who are interested in the imperial examination and enter the official career, but he is average in reading, and he knows that there is no hope of being admitted to the Jinshi, it is better to be a horse and have a glorious life.
Regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty horse is worth anything in the future, but as the first horse since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how bad it is, it can't be there!
And there are many people who have the same idea as him, but he used a lot of small means to get through all the way, and finally successfully entered the sight of the Empress Dowager Bai, and was selected by the Empress Dowager Bai as the husband of Princess Huichen.
Li Xuan simply chatted with him for a quarter of an hour, but after chatting, he was a little disappointed, this person doesn't seem to be as shrewd as Hantong said in the investigation report, is it really an honest person?
