"Reading lies in reasoning, and your high school imperial examination is only used as a stepping stone, and you can't use the imperial examination to govern a county. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Jing sat on the stool, looked at the crowd and said: "The reading to educate the world is only to educate the world to be honest and shameful, and to be literate, and among those ordinary people, how many people can be literate?" They don't know the essence of the poems, nor do they know the beauty of the songs, they only know how to fill their stomachs and how not to be bullied. For those ordinary people, poetry is not the most important thing. ”

"General, in that case, why don't you find a few farmers who are good at growing crops, maybe you can govern a county, so what do you want us scholars to do?" After Wen Hao heard this, he said disdainfully.

"Hehe, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, the officials were clear and turbid, and most of the Qing people were owned by the big families, and most of the turbidity were made by ordinary children. The Qing are good at poetry and songs, and the turbid are good at governing political affairs. Governing a county is not only to persuade farmers and educate the world, but also to be good at adjudicating cases, calculating taxes, knowing water conservancy, etc., and being good at these turbid things in order to govern a county. Li Jing didn't pay attention to these guys, in ancient times, being a qualified county magistrate should not be controlled by the local powerful gentry.

Everyone was silent for a while, even Zhang Xiaochun was silent on the side, he was the prefect of Taiyuan, so he naturally knew the problems here, and the poems and songs seemed to be displayed only when students gathered and friends intersected, but there was no one or two in dealing with political affairs.

"Any scholar, after studying with the old official for two months, can basically handle some political affairs, and after getting familiar with it for a long time, he can manage more and more complex things, which is promotion. The basis for promotion is not your good poetry, but your political achievements and your ability to handle political affairs, which is the basis. Li Jing said with a smile: "Can the champion really have the last laugh?" Look at how many of the three dukes in the court, those dressed in vermilion and purple, were born as champions? It's not that the higher the knowledge, the worse it is, the champion just has a better starting point, which can be remembered by the Son of Heaven, and with some of his efforts, it is natural that the success will be faster. ”

"The general's words, let me wait for the mouth to open." A scholar from a poor family stood up, with a hint of joy on his face, scholars in the Song Dynasty could have preferential treatment, but it was still very difficult for a real scholar from a poor family to study, although the clothes of the scholar in front of him were clean, but there were many sewings, and there was a trace of vegetables on his face.

"Some of you will be the county order of my Hedong Road in the future, the county and the like, the foundation of a country is not in the state capital, but in a county, the county is the most important yamen institution to convey the imperial decree, whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment, not in the state government, nor in the imperial court, but in the county order, county Cheng, they are the people who are at the forefront of contacting the people, how to implement the imperial decree, also depends on you. Therefore, you have a great relationship, there are more than 80 people in Hedong Road County, most of the people in this scientific expedition will enter these counties, you are all young people, and it is inevitable that there will be some inconsiderate places, remember one sentence, the rules and regulations formulated by the Qilin Pavilion on Hedong Road will be resolutely implemented, if there is a place to obstruct, you can find the county lieutenant, the county lieutenant is responsible for public security, and the place is suppressed. Li Jing said with relief.

After hearing this, the eyes of the scholars below suddenly lit up, and they unconsciously discussed, that is, Zhang Huai's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but say: "General, do you mean that more than 80 county government officials on Hedong Road have been abolished?" Replace these people? ”

"Hehe, it is naturally impossible to abolish all of them, and if you can't obey the orders of the general's mansion of the Peking University, you can't govern the place, you can't enrich the place, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so naturally you can't stay in office." Li Jing said indifferently: "Look, my Great Song Dynasty is not without scholars, my Hedong Road is just on the order of the Son of Heaven, open an Enke, can include so many readers, after a period of polishing, it is still very easy to be a county order." ”

"But, if it goes on like this, aren't you afraid of the rebellion of the officials on Hedong Road?" Zhang Huai's face was pale and his expression was flustered. He is a scholar and understands these young people, Li Jing gave them a chance, they will definitely obey Li Jing's orders, they are Li Jing's fanatical supporters, but they will definitely have an impact on the powerful gentry in the county.

"Rebellion? I have an army in hand, who would dare to rebel? After these scholars take office, there may be some chaos, but as long as they are dedicated to the people, where can they go? Li Jing said indifferently: "As long as they are dedicated to the people, those conscientious gentry will also support these officials, and only those local tyrants and inferior gentry will think about how to deal with these young officials." ”

"What the general said is very true, as long as you are dedicated to the people, even if there is a big mistake, the common people will support these county orders." Zhang Xiaochun was excited in his heart, and he didn't know how long he had been preaching in the officialdom for the people, but how many people could do it? Can it work in today's Great Song Dynasty officialdom?

"In principle, there is no prefect or governor on Hedong Road, but the General's Mansion will also assess each prefect and governor, and those who pass will be retained, and those who fail will be demoted to use, or sent to Bianjing to accept the disposal of the imperial court. The Qilin Pavilion is in charge of the counties and deals with the affairs of Hedong Road. The local gentry are capable, and those who are willing to serve the generals, the generals will use them according to their talents and temperaments. The same is true of those of you who excel in talent. ”

Those gentlemen were already boiling when they heard this, meritocracy, whether they were young or old, whether they were poor or gentry, even Zhang Huai was relieved in his heart, at least, the powerful gentry were not cut off. He has already heard that everything Li Jing said is in the final analysis, there are two things, the first is to obey the general's orders, and the second is to put the people first. The first of these is the most important.

Zhang Xiaochun sighed on the side, he thought that Li Jing was a military general, even if he could read and write, but he was not as good as these old guys in officialdom, and the art of scheming was definitely not good, but now it seems that Li Jing's scheming technique is not simple, and he actually knows how to divide the gentry of Hedong Road as a whole, I believe that after today's words spread, the number of scholars participating in the imperial examination will increase a lot, and even the children of many powerful gentry will also participate, this hand is very beautiful.

Those who follow me are prosperous, Li Jing implements such a criterion in this Hedong Road, and anyone who confronts him even does not hesitate to change all the county orders on the entire Hedong Road, this is Li Jing.
