Chapter 701: Lee Seung-gwang's firmness

There are many other places like Zhang Ji.

After all, all the officials who came this time were officials, and none of the clerks at the grassroots level came.

, even if the clerk comes, he will be promoted to become an official, and he can't bring someone who doesn't enter the stream to be a clerk, right? Besides, they don't have that ability.

The turmoil in Annan has indeed brought a huge problem to Datang.

Of course, another huge hidden danger is that this also fully proves the current vacancy in Datang's talent pool.

The situation in Guanzhong is much less, after all, a lot of fresh blood will be added every year, but in some remote areas, this can only be sorry.

Few people from the four major academies are willing to come here, while the top students from other academies have also entered the yamen of various places as a reserve force.

These places can only rely on local forces to solve problems.

In fact, at all times, the only way to solve this problem is to rely on local forces.

However, the educational environment in Annam is extremely poor, and in the entire Annam region, there is only one college directly under the supervision of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the strength of the teachers is uneven, with only more than 300 students, and the following counties ......

Forget it, in the whole of Annan combined, there are only three large and small academies, yes, these are the playthings of rich people.

After this round of sweeping, with the fall of a large number of officials, the academy also began to clean up the work of the personnel.

The first to be dismissed are the children of officials who have committed major crimes, and the second is to be dismissed are those students with extremely poor grades, these people came in by relying on connections, and then mixed until they graduated, entered the government through fraud, took advantage of the fact that there were people on it, and then were promoted rapidly.

These people don't want to be able to be the pillars of the imperial court, but at least it's okay to be the emperor in Annam, and their predecessors have already given them an excellent demonstration process.

As a result, in the first wave of retreat, nearly 700 people left in the entire three schools in Annam, among nearly 1,000 students, and then 200 people left one after another, and after the first round of retreat, only more than 100 people remained in the three academies.

Evenly shared, there are more teachers than students, of course, these teachers have also been dismissed a lot, students have problems, will teachers be okay? Besides, it's still this place in Annam.

In this way, the entire education system of Annam was completely wiped out, and it followed the officialdom system and refused to fall into disadvantage at all.

And the lack of reserve strength at the grassroots level has led to an even more embarrassing problem, after the first round of sweeping, the remaining students are simply not enough.

In other words, for a long time, the natives of Annam will not be able to come up.

At present, Datang's minimum requirements for public officials are to be literate and systematically studied, even if it is just a academy recognized by the county government, students who come out can also pass the exam to enter the county government.

Therefore, when this question is placed on Li Chengguang's desk, it is more embarrassing.

Not only Li Chengguang was helpless, but Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou were also helpless, and the experienced Li Daozong could only scratch his head helplessly.

"Now we can only recruit people from other places......" Wei Zheng was a little helpless.

Ma Zhou shook his head and denied: "No, there are no Annan people in Annan officialdom, and sooner or later there will be big problems." ”

In fact, there has long been an unwritten rule in officialdom, high-level officials can be transferred from other places, but the grassroots level below must be local.

The seemingly helpless act of choosing locals actually contains a certain truth.

For example, they are familiar with the local environment and local customs, and as long as they ensure integrity, they will be a good help.

In other places, the default rule is that a county must at least ensure that the chief secretary and the county lieutenant are locals, and the chief lieutenant is doing daily chores, and this outsider really can't do it, and the county lieutenant is leviing taxes, and this outsider can't do it either.

It can even be said that there are only county officials and county officials outside a county, and even if there are others, there will be no more than three foreign officials in a county.

This is a grassroots characteristic, and further up, the majority of state officials are from their own state, and about 30 percent are from other places.

After the new zoning system, there is no such restriction in provincial-level units, and those who are capable will prevail, but basically no less than 30% of the positions will be reserved for local officials, which is not a compromise, but for better governance of the locality, some work needs to be done by locals.

Although the officialdom of Annan is broken, Annan is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty after all, and there are still more than 3 million people here, all of whom are ruled by outsiders, for fear that it will cause dissatisfaction among the local people.

Li Chengguang is also very clear about these unspoken rules, and Li Chengguang also heard the arguments between the two ministers.

At this moment, Li Chengguang's mind is thinking about this problem rapidly, how to operate in order to solve the difficulties in front of him?

It is impossible for each government to have only officials and no officials, nor can it be without those clerks, there are only five officials in a county, and there are no other people under them, even if they are exhausted, they will not be able to finish the work of a county.

So, this matter can't be delayed for too long.

Even if people are transferred from other regions, this is a bit unrealistic, and more than 3,000 officials have not yet arrived, and more people will not be transferred for a while.

"It looks like there's only the inside dug in!" Li Chengguang was a little helpless, but there was no helplessness in his tone, but extremely firm.

Li Chengguang knows very well that he is the backbone of Annan, and his opinions must be firm and must not have any hesitation, otherwise, he will transmit a feeling of uncertainty to the people below, and he will also worry about whether this matter will be cut at any time when he does things, if he doesn't have to do it, how can things be done well?

"Let the counties themselves go to the county to excavate, through the way of non-governmental recommendation to select people with good character and certain ability to enter the government to serve as temporary positions, in addition to the remaining people of the academy to the counties, to teach these temporary recommended people to read, regular assessment, if not, directly leave, literacy is no problem, and then by the chief official to organize policy training for these temporary officials, a year later, by the Lingnan Province to organize a comprehensive assessment, Governor Li is responsible for supervision, if there is time, the orphan will personally supervise, Those who pass the assessment are formally appointed, and those who fail to pass the assessment will come from and go back.

In addition, the rebuilding of the college is to be carried out by the Lingnan Province to build a provincial-level college in the Annam region, and each prefecture must establish a college with a capacity of not less than 1,000 people, depending on the situation in each county, but it is necessary to establish a junior college belonging to each county.

As for the teaching staff, we will find a way to seconded some from other places, and the others will have to rely on their abilities, and if we cannot find enough teachers, we will find some relatively idle officials to serve on a temporary basis, and after four years, these new forces will have to take over. Li Chengguang said very firmly.

In the troubled times, no one wants to come to Annam, so they can only pin their hopes on the locals, and the more than 3 million Annamite people can't train the officials they need?

Li Chengguang's thinking is also very simple, through the recommendation of the people, the people who get it, not to mention the ability, at least the conduct is not too much of a problem, and can convince the public.

What is the concept of being able to convince the public? As long as these people stand up, as long as the government does not do anything harmful, they can basically be convinced.

Annan is now in this mess, and Li Chengguang doesn't expect Annan to get better immediately, he only hopes that the status quo can be maintained for three or five years, and they will cultivate the new generation of strength.

Whether it's transferring people or any other method, although these seem to solve the problem immediately, they can't solve the problem forever.

You can't always transfer people from outside, right? You can't just ask for help when you have a problem, right?

Li Chengguang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly establish his own talent training system in the Annan area, although the ability may not be comparable to the four major academies, but self-sufficiency should not be a big problem.

"Why doesn't Your Highness play Your Majesty and open a Chinese Academy in the south?" Ma Zhou smiled slightly and suggested.

Li Chengguang's idea is very good, although he has also thought about it, but there are still many problems that have not been thought through, as a minister, when making suggestions, it is not decided with a pat on the head, he must understand the ins and outs of the whole thing, as well as some follow-up problems, only if he understands it thoroughly enough, can he make suggestions.

Otherwise, as soon as the emperor or the crown prince asks you a question, you will say that the minister has not had time to think about it, you should have a tea break first, or go to bed first, and then come to tell you when the minister has thought about it?

Just kidding, whoever dares to do this, I promise to say goodbye directly in a short time.

Ma Zhou didn't expect that Li Chengguang's head was quite shrewd, and he even thought of this, and he also thought of establishing a system, and gave orders so firmly, although there are some imperfections, but it doesn't matter, isn't this what he does?

"Build a Chinese Academy in the South?" Li Chengguang frowned slightly, thinking about this matter secretly.

What is Sinology Academy? To put it bluntly, it is a national-level academy, a academy directly managed by the imperial court, such as the four major academies.

The distribution of the four major academies is very even, east, west, north and middle, but only the south is missing, if it was before, it would have been counted, but now, everyone knows the importance of the south, and the imperial court has also accelerated the construction of the middle line of the north-south railway, once the railway is opened, the importance of the south to the imperial court will be on a higher level.

At present, the importance of the South comes more from the variety of raw materials.

Even in terms of distribution, a seowon should be built in the south, and what does it mean to build a seowon?

It's very simple, it means that the imperial court has opened a door for the local people to enter the imperial court directly, although there were also before, but without the premise of the national academy bonus, this place is very small, and the quality of students here is far inferior to other regions, so the chance of being shortlisted is not great.

Nowadays, the number of officials in the entire imperial court and those from the south is less than twenty, and none of them are in any important positions.

In this respect, the establishment of a academy in the south would also facilitate the imperial court's further control of the southern region.

"Well, Lone will play the emperor and ask for the establishment of a academy in Guangzhou." Thinking about the truth, Li Chengguang nodded directly and agreed, and the location was chosen in Guangzhou, which is also not said, Guangzhou's development is relatively better, and the geographical location is also suitable, so where to choose if you don't choose there? In the mountain nest of Annam?
