Li Jingpo is very optimistic about his future. Of course, he didn't mean to say that he didn't want to come and be a law clerk. It's the Hanlin Academy, which should be in charge of this, and it hasn't been built at all! Even the Guozijian is a half-dead empty gate, what else can you do?

The road of learning literature is really very talented. Even though Confucianism was streamlined and subjects such as mathematics, geography, and history were added, this only made the exams more brutal. Many people understand Confucianism but don't understand mathematics, geography doesn't know history, and some don't know anything.

Only 11 people graduated safely this year. Among these 11 people, only six have survived the task of being transfer students in the government hall and other yamen, and have successfully taken up their posts at the local level. The remaining five are a little bit lower. They're going to start teaching themselves again from small towns, villages, etc.

In a sense, this is the difference between Jinshi, Juren and Xiucai in the exam.

"The old minister thought that Fang was in power today, and the stall was a bit big. I privately thought that the functions of the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Imperial History Observatory overlapped, and they should be abolished or merged, so that they could save money and secure their finances. "This time it's **** Fang. What he said actually involved the part that Qin Cang had always wanted to reform. Local judicial and administrative powers have been separated with Qin Cang's support. However, the central government still seems to be suppressing the lower officials.

"Well, that's a problem. Let me first elaborate on the differences between the four parts, Dali Temple focuses on the central part, especially the capture and interrogation of officials; The Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for supervising the hundred officials, and there are various prefectures under it; The Criminal Department is responsible for supervising all kinds of local cases, especially those who are sentenced to death, and must be severely punished; The Metropolitan Procuratorate should take the lead in legislation, clarify the various laws, supplement them at any time, and issue them at any time, and settle the cases handled by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple from time to time after the fact.

The functions are different, and it stands to reason that there should be no conflict. Since you talk about redundancy, it must be that the officials themselves are not clear about the functions. So be it. From today onwards, the four legal divisions will work together! The four yamen are all together, and I don't think there should be any more chaos. Remember, the Four Dharma Divisions belong directly to me, and there is no oppression from the superiors! If someone goes to the Fasi and shouts at five or six, take it directly! ”

The legislature and the judiciary must be separated from the executive, and this is only the last step that has been taken from the central authorities.

The next thing to talk about is some of the things that are not there. For example, should the power of the Ministry of Taxation be mentioned in the province of Zhongshu and so on.

After solving the recent internal operation difficulties, Qin Cang began to deal with future matters.

"Alright. This is the most important part of the questioning. How do you plan for the future? ”

The officials followed Qin Cang's wooden pole and looked at it on the map.

"First of all, look at the country. According to the latest statistics, the population of the four provinces of the Crimean peninsula is already close to half a million. There are nearly 400,000 in the Black Gold Mansion. These are the two population areas of the country. There are 100,000 in Linhai Mansion, less than 200,000 in the three prefectures of Donhe, Jintao and Biye, and less than 10,000 in Jianye Mansion. For now, immigration is inevitable. Further north, after the defeat of Poland and Lithuania, the population of Ruthenia that we could control withered, with less than 100,000 people living on both sides of the Dnieper. The three cities of Kyiv, Pereyaslav and Cherkasy are still in my hands, and I am not ready to swallow the rest for the time being. We don't have manpower, and it's just an empty lot.

We need immigrants, a lot of immigrants. But where are these migrants going? Is it the shore of the Black Sea, or the banks of the Dnieper? This is the first one. ”

Qin Cang said.

"The banks of the Dnieper have great potential and are rich in minerals. If the immigrants are real, it is a royal paradise. The shores of the Black Sea are well developed in commerce and trade, and department stores can be gathered. Now the Don River is developing in commerce and trade, and the Danube River is in sight. For example, the countries of Georgia, Trabzon, and Kandal have split the ground and separated the merchant houses. No one can stop us from dumping goods. Meng Zhuoyan stood up and gave a supplementary explanation to everyone.

In the final analysis, this is a question of whether it is a commercial country or a country that is ready to be integrated in many aspects.

Even a little deeper, is it a commercial country, or an industrial country? Now the domestic industry has developed very well. If you want to develop, you must have enough space. So the Dnieper must be developed. And if the country is founded by commerce and supplemented by industry, then it will focus on developing the market for a long time and dominate the Black Sea.

In the short term, Qin Cang is undoubtedly in favor of a commercial state. The sound of porcelain alone almost made him afraid to keep his money. What's more, there are more products in development?

But in the long run, it is clear that the foundation of the Han kingdom was land. The Dnieper must be controlled.

The contrasts between the Dutch and British up-and-comers are still in the forefront. Who to learn?

"Naturally, it's the Dnieper! Colonization of the territory, Wang Daus is here! ”

"The old minister supports the expansion of the soil!"

......

Unexpectedly, everyone is supporting the expansion of the Dnieper!

Qin Cang's face darkened. He thought of a key question. These old officials...... Was it a period when the brain was still lagging behind?

Qin Cang hurriedly told them the things and connotations behind this.

Two hours later, there was a quarrel between those who came to their senses and those who didn't, or who were simply pretending to be stupid.

Then it gets stuck in an endless cycle of arguing and not fighting. It wasn't until after dinner that everyone had a result.

"Develop the Dnieper."

Qin Cang almost felt that this was the result. In the end, they haven't switched away from the old way of thinking. Farming is still a major task advocated by Confucianism.

But that's fine. At the very least, it's time for the tooth people on Chuantou Street in Chijing to turn around and support the development of the Dnieper. After all, their big proprietor is Qin Cang!

"The second and most important one. How many people do we need? What places to develop? Qin Cang asked another question.

Then the officials of the household department, the official department, and so on quarreled again. How to divide it, isn't it a question of how many cantonment agencies should be set up?

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

......

The officials kept shouting as if they were in an auction house. In the end, though, they came to a conclusion.

Qin Changan said: "Now there are millions of acres of cultivated land in China, half of which is sweet potatoes and half of wheat. Sweet potatoes can be eaten by the people, cattle and horses. This year's sweet potato yield is estimated to be as high as 5 million stones! Although the cows and horses eat together, they can't eat it all. In addition, cement factories and brick kilns are produced in Kaffa, in Port Cisse, and in the Liantong Port station, and Jinjian can also expand production. Hundreds of thousands of citizens can also be accommodated. It's just that...... Need ........"

Qin Cang's heart snorted! Damn, you have a good brain, and you want to use that newcomer as a colony?
