Gao Ming is a doer, so he doesn't need those poor and rotten Confucians who can only "care about the people", he needs the kind of officials who can benefit one party after taking office.

This is vividly demonstrated in the title he gave.

"Tell me, if you become a magistrate, how will you manage the people under your rule?"

Faced with Gao Ming's question, many scholars who came to apply for the job were dumbfounded, and many of them gave such an answer.

"Students should do their best and live up to the emperor's grace!"

For such a "panacea" answer, Gao Ming smiled.

"If you can become an official just by saying good things and showing loyalty, then the officials of Datang are too worthless, take them with you."

However, some people gave a different answer.

"After students take office, they must be honest and honest, and serve the government for the benefit of one party."

Such an answer can be regarded as stable, and Gao Ming has given it.

Of course, there are also more daring ones.

"If the students can become the magistrates, they must educate the people and let them know that Jinju can have a good life today thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince."

This kind of stinky and shameless sycophant, Gao Ming also said that he could stay.

"Well, as a reader in this era, it is rare to be able to be shameless to this extent, as the so-called rare is expensive, and it has passed!"

There is also an answer that surprises Gao Ming.

"The student heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once collected protection fees from businessmen in Chang'an, and the students are not talented, so they will definitely carry forward this matter after taking office, so that the businessmen in the county will consciously pay the protection fee!"

Hearing this answer, Gao Ming immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, you don't have to apply for the county now, this position is not suitable for you."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, this person's face suddenly turned white.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, is the student wrong? I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give the students a chance......"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming smiled and waved his hand at him.

"You're mistaken, I don't mean to say you're eliminated, I mean you can have better options."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly glanced at Li Goudan who was standing next to him.

"Li dog, what's his name."

Listening to Gao Ming's question, Li Goudan hurriedly bowed respectfully to Gao Ming.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this person's name is Zhang Tao, and his wife is the daughter of a merchant!"

As soon as Li Goudan's words fell, Zhang Tao's face suddenly changed, and his gaze at Gao Ming was also a little panicked, but what he didn't expect was that Gao Ming laughed again.

"Haha, I'm only talking about ability here, not about background, not to mention that he's not rich, it doesn't matter."

After speaking, Gao Ming stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Tao.

"Zhang Tao, from now on, you will be the agent of Jinzhou Mansion, don't drive, you will be a good assistant to your Shangguan in the future, and at the same time, the entire Jinzhou merchants will be handed over to you, if you do a good job, I will turn you into a regular in a year."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Tao suddenly knelt down with a "poof".

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, student, no...... Wechen must go all out and dare not live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

It is normal for Zhang Tao to be so excited, because according to his original idea, it is worth being happy to be a magistrate from the seventh grade, but he didn't expect Gao Ming to give him a Zhongzhou from the fifth grade, and there is a difference of eight levels between the two, which can be described as a step to the sky!

At this time, Zhang Tao had already made up his mind to work hard no matter what, and strive to remove the word "agent" after a year and become a real Jinzhou driver.

Looking at Zhang Tao's excited face, Gao Ming immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, no need to be polite, get up!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

After Zhang Tao stood up, Gao Ming smiled again.

"By the way, the money collected from merchants is no longer called protection fees, it is called Datang Commercial Transaction Tax, and we here in Jinju are also charged at the same rate as Chang'an, according to 10% of the operating profits."

As he spoke, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Li Goudan.

"You Li Tingshi did this at the beginning, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him, Li Goudan, Zhang Tao here, you teach him a little more, let him get started with this matter as soon as possible, this is our economic source in Jinzhou in the future, you pay attention to this matter."

"Yes, Weichen understands!"

Hearing Li Goudan's words, Gao Ming nodded again.

"Okay, you take out two pieces of money from the treasury and give it to Zhang Tao, which can be regarded as his advance for the agent Jinzhou Don't Drive, and then let the next person come in!"

"Yes!"

When Li Goudan arrived at the front yard with Zhang Tao with an excited face, the people around him suddenly turned their eyes together, although they didn't speak, but their doubtful eyes had already expressed their meaning.

But they soon knew the results.

I saw Li Goudan walk to the front yard, and suddenly arched his hand towards Zhang Tao with a smile.

"Zhang Beijia can go to report the good news to his family, go home by the way and prepare, the official will give you a three-day deadline, how about it?"

From the moment they entered the door, these scholars who were about to apply for the county magistrate had never seen Li Goudan show a trace of a smile, but at this time he not only smiled, but also bowed?

More importantly, what did he just say? Don't drive? Annunciation?

Thinking of this, the surrounding group of scholars waiting for the roll call were suddenly stunned.

"Is it ......?"

When they set their eyes on Zhang Tao, they found that the scholar who had lowered his head since he entered the door was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and as soon as Li Goudan's words fell, he immediately bowed down and saluted Li Goudan.

"Lord Liu is polite, I don't dare to be an official, I don't need three days, I will go home this afternoon to prepare, and I will come to the Assassin Mansion early tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Zhang Tao's words, the other scholars around him suddenly showed expressions of understanding.

"It seems that he is really an official, and he is also a don't drive in Jinju, which is really lucky."

Thinking of this, everyone bowed to Zhang Tao.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang."

"Congratulations, the students knew at a glance that Master Zhang would definitely succeed, and that was the case."

"It's just ......"

Hearing everyone's words, Zhang Tao hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just acting as an agent, and it will take a year before I can become a real Jinju driver, and I need to mention more from Master Li in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tao immediately saluted Li Goudan.

Seeing that his attitude was so upright, Li Goudan also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

If you want to be a good official, you must remember three points, first, integrate theory with practice, second, keep close contact with the masses, and third, criticism and self-criticism, these are the three fine styles of my Datang officials, and you must remember them well."

Li Goudan immediately brought what Gao Ming told him yesterday to show off, and sure enough, after hearing these words, Zhang Tao immediately respected him.

"Yes, Lord Assassin Shi is high, the lower official should keep it in mind, and the lower official will retire!"

"Go ahead!"

After Zhang Tao left, when Li Goudan looked back at the people around him, he immediately glared at them.

"What do you see? The opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step is in front of you, whether you can catch it or not depends on yourself, the next one, Liu Sanshui, follow me. ”

"Yes!"

Among the next scholars, the talents who made Gao Ming's eyes shine did not appear in the end, but there were more than a dozen of them, so at the last moment, Gao Ming recruited them all in front of him, and then nodded at them.

"You are all candidates who have passed the second round of assessment, and the three magistrates will also be selected from among you, and now I will ask the last question!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, these dozen or so people suddenly became nervous, looking at their nervous appearance, Gao Ming suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth.

"You are all people I am more satisfied with, but I only need three magistrates, so you have to compete for posts, the rules are like this."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly raised a finger.

"The first rule, you are divided into three teams, A, B, and C, and when the time comes, each team will produce a magistrate, I count thirty times, you start to stand in line, and those who do not choose to be disqualified directly when they are outdated, one ...... Two...... Three ......"

As Gao Ming began to count, a group of people suddenly became chaotic, and they began to select teams to join, and after Gao Ming finished counting, they all stood up.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming nodded suddenly.

"Okay, since you are all divided, then I will announce the second rule, the second rule is called elimination, now any of you can have two choices, one option is to be the acting magistrate, and the other option is to be a monitor."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately showed a sinister smile.

"The task of the monitor is to monitor the person who is the magistrate, once he is found to have made a mistake, he can report it to the assassin, once this mistake reaches a certain level, the reported acting magistrate will be dismissed, and the acting magistrate will be served by the monitor who reported him, and enter the next cycle."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the people around him suddenly gasped.

"Hiss......"

Obviously, everyone realizes the power of this article, after all, there are a few people around who are ready to grab their positions all the time, which is not a comfortable thing, not to mention who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes?

Looking at their surprised expressions, Gao Ming laughed again.

"But you don't have to worry, there are restrictions on monitors, that is, they can't make false accusations, otherwise once discovered, then not only will he be directly disqualified from competing for the magistrate, but also dealt with with the "Tang Law", as for those who become the acting magistrates, as long as they can not be eliminated by the monitors within the one-year probationary period, they can become real magistrates."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming's smile suddenly became even worse.

"By the way, once someone chooses to become the acting magistrate, the rest of the people will automatically become monitors, okay, now there are three teams A, B and C, which of you wants to be the acting magistrate and accept the monitoring of the rest of the team?"

After Gao Ming's words fell, there was a sudden silence around them.

For everyone present, they all want to be the acting magistrate, but they are afraid that after becoming the county, they will be found out by the rest of the team and eliminated.

But if they don't act as the county magistrate, they are afraid that after becoming a monitor, if the acting magistrate survives the one-year probationary period, then they will also be eliminated at that time.

For a while, everyone present was in a dilemma.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Gao Ming smiled sinisterly again.

"Now I give you a stick of incense time to consider, whether to be the acting magistrate of the county to accept the surveillance of others, or to be the monitor to stare at the acting magistrate, think about it and go to you Li Tingshi to register, after the end of the incense, if you have not decided, you will be eliminated directly!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Goudan immediately took out the incense burner and lit the incense, looking at the slowly burning incense, the expressions on the faces of the candidates present suddenly became more solemn.
