"Get Qin Feng for me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Li Shimin thought for a while and instructed the guards.

When Qin Feng hurried to the palace, Li Shimin said directly to him: "You don't want to participate in the imperial examination." ”

"Huh?" Qin Feng was surprised for a moment and said, "Wow! ”

The people who participated in the imperial examination were to become officials, but Qin Feng was different, mainly because he was playing with his mind, and it didn't matter to him whether he took the exam or not.

Li Shimin said: "The order of the examination room and the safety of the candidates are handed over to you and the Tiger Benjun!" There was no room for Qin Feng to speak, and he handed over the written holy decree to Qin Feng.

"But what happened?" Qin Feng took the opportunity to ask.

Li Shimin said: "I borrowed the imperial examination to play a big game of chess!" He didn't hide it, and said his thoughts one by one.

Qin Feng gasped: What a big deal, this is completely a bet on the safety of the world!

Li Shimin asked, "Do you think that I am too hasty, as they think?" ”

"After the consumption of the troubled times, the strength of the family has also been greatly affected, and the court is recuperating, and the family is not the same! When they are plump, it will be even more difficult to subdue! I think that His Majesty's move is a wise move once and for all, the new imperial examination system not only accepts talents from all over the world for his own use, but also prevents the opportunity for the family to grow, and then there is a complete pull out of some conspirators, and in the end, it can be described as a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone. I think it's a good deal to exchange temporary turmoil for eternal stability, and the family doesn't necessarily have such guts, after all, there are many smart people in the family! It's just that how did you suddenly ......"

"You're saying why I'm in such a hurry, right?!"

Qin Feng nodded silently!

"I had a headache for the population, so you offered two strategies, the first is to encourage birth and breeding, and the second is to check the black households! I asked the household department and the official department to be responsible for the inventory and inventory of the black households, and at the same time, I secretly sent people to count the family slaves. After this investigation, I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't sleep and eat. To tell you the truth, I'm a little scared. ”

"This ......" Qin Feng exclaimed, "Could it be that the family population and the number of domestic slaves are huge?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Shimin sneered: "Many family slaves are elite soldiers, tens of thousands, as few as thousands, these slaves are busy as farmers, and when they are free, they are training, and the elite level is not as good as that of government soldiers." There are tens of thousands of large and small families in the world, and there are millions of house slaves, and the world's families use marriage to synthesize as one, and fight against various decrees of the imperial court by means of marriage, and among the millions of house slaves, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are more than 300,000 young and strong, and the combat effectiveness of these people is not weaker than that of the government soldiers! ”

"This ......" Qin Feng felt a little chill in his heart, he really didn't expect that the power of the family clan was so strong, and at the same time, he was also scared into a cold sweat.

"Yang Guang conquered Goryeo that year, Yang Xuangan, as the spokesperson of the family, rebelled, and in a short period of time, he had more than 500,000 troops, Yang Guang almost died in a foreign country, I don't want the whole army to go out on fire. Therefore, take this opportunity to eradicate these tumors in one fell swoop and never suffer from future troubles! I was worried that someone would make trouble during the exam, but after thinking about it, I found that you were the most suitable candidate and the general who could best understand my intentions. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do a good job to your satisfaction!" Qin Feng smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth,

"I give you the power of life and death, you can consider it as you see if you find a problem, don't be afraid, I will fully support you. If you want anything, you just ask! ”

"I need a holy decree to monitor the Japanese and be able to deal with them."

"I have drawn up another decree for you." Li Shimin readily agreed, through the last time, he knew that Qin Feng was not from Hu Lai, so he handed it over after writing the holy decree.

Qin Feng was afraid that Li Shimin would regret it, so he snatched it like a treasure.

Li Shimin felt the different forces of Qin Feng when he received the decree before and after, and said strangely: "I think that the Wa Kingdom seems to have a feud with you for several lifetimes, and it is useless for a small barbarian country to target it everywhere?" ”

Qin Feng secretly said in his heart: "It's not that I have a feud for a few lifetimes, but a feud with thousands of Chinese descendants. If it weren't for the fact that the Wa Kingdom was the most ferocious enemy in China in later generations, he would not have targeted the Wa State so much.

"You are really Shengming, I do not like the little devils, but the main reason is not me, but the little devils, they are not dead to the skills of our country......" Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "It is precisely because of the sinister intentions of the little devils that I found that we missed some important things about the imperial examination. ”

Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Insufficient attention is paid to skilled talents."

Li Shimin frowned and said: "I don't pay enough attention to the unique subject of skilled talents? ”

"No, no, no! That's not what I'm talking about. Qin Feng said: "The Japanese country covets the advanced skills of my Tang Dynasty, and still does not give up after not being able to obtain it from you, and now the imperial examination is imminent, Chang'an City brings together the world's best technical talents, and most of the technical talents come from poor families. The most terrible thing is that the Japanese people are very vicious and evil, once they hollow out the knowledge of the other party, the next step will be to kill people and destroy their mouths, for them, the benefits of exterminating the mouth are twofold, first, the empire can not find out who is stealing the technology, second, kill the empire's skilled talents, the empire will always stand still, and the advantages of the empire will disappear. ”

"This is an omission in technical personnel, followed by an omission in the management of the country and the army."

Li Shimin realized the seriousness of the matter, and said with a gloomy face: "You are right, I have indeed missed the talents in terms of skills, but where does the threat of other talents come from?" ”

"It is not an exaggeration to praise the new imperial examination as a sharp blade that has cut off the roots of the family, the family may not dare to do anything to Your Majesty, but they can use shameless and obscene conspiracy methods to get rid of the candidates, without the candidates, what is the use of your imperial examination no matter how well it is set up? So there's a lot more you have to do. ”

"Now that you've thought of this, I wonder if there's a way to fix it?" Li Shimin didn't have much hope in his heart, he couldn't follow twelve hours a day, right? It's just that they've already talked about it here, so they casually asked.

"There is no good way...... However, there is a stupid solution! Qin Feng already had a record in his heart, and smiled slightly.

Li Shimin's face showed a trace of regret at first, but when he heard it, he showed a trace of expectation in the end: "A stupid way is a stupid way, it's better than no way!" ”

"Hide the names and origins of the candidates, Chang'an is full of people every day, and on the premise that there is no real object, they will not ask one by one!"

Li Shimin thought for a while, and there was no good way for a while, so he said: "Well, this is a good way." Is there anything else you would like to say? ”

"Needless to say, the benefits of the imperial examination are what I want to say about the harm that the imperial examination can cause."

Li Shimin said in disbelief: "Is the imperial examination still harmful? ”

"Yes, it's not small!"

Qin Feng said: "Every time there is an exam, there will be a lot of new officials, but the official position is limited!" What is the end result? It's that there are no officials in the imperial court to award! But the imperial court can't lose its trust in the world, what should I do? The only way is to spend a lot of money for them to eat and drink, and in the long run, it will become a heavy burden! I'm sure you know it. ”

Li Shimin sighed: "You're right, I am suffering from it!" During the reign of my father, there was a serious phenomenon of few people and too many officials in my Tang Dynasty, and after I ascended the throne, I started to work on redundant officials. Eliminate meaningless, worthless, incompetent and incompetent officials in order to revitalize the government of the DPRK. At that time, there were more than 2,000 officials in the Tang Dynasty, large and small, among which there were duplicate positions, duplicate responsibilities, and chaos. If you have nothing to do, you can make trouble, and if you have something, you will shirk each other's responsibilities, which is not only meaningless to the development of my Datang, but also has huge hidden dangers. I have always believed that officials are winning people, not too many people, and it is imperative to lay off people and reduce officials. Therefore, with everyone's support, the drastic streamlining of officials almost caused chaos in the world at that time. ”

Redundant officials and redundant personnel are inevitable things in every dynasty. The only way to deal with redundant officials and redundant personnel is to reduce the number of personnel, and the problem comes. Attrition, how to reduce, and to whom? These are all headaches, and if they are not handled well, they will cause turmoil. Faced with the phenomenon of redundant officials and redundant personnel, most dynasties chose to let it go, so as not to shake the fundamentals. It is this practice of letting things go unchecked, resulting in redundant officials and redundant personnel being as smelly and long as a footwrap, and when it comes to the real harm to the country, there is no way to deal with it.

In fact, many malpractices are like people's bodies, when there are small problems, they don't pay attention to deal with them, and when they threaten the body, they want to deal with it but it's too late.

There are 2,000 officials in the court of Chang'an, which is not much, far from enough to cause harm, but Li Shimin has long been aware of this hidden danger, and directly cut the personnel to a quarter, which is really shocking.

The current imperial examination seems to repeat the past, but for the sake of the future of the empire, it is imperative to carry out the imperial examination in order to cultivate a steady stream of follow-up talents for the country.

Qin Feng said: "I think the imperial examination cannot be abolished, because the empire needs a steady stream of living water. ”

"Before the promulgation of the imperial examination, I thought about this issue, as you said, I also think that the imperial examination is imperative, as for the problem of redundant officials and redundant personnel, I think there will always be a way to solve it, and it is a big deal to make drastic layoffs again."

Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "But do you dare to guarantee that your children and grandchildren will have your courage, determination, and prestige?" ”

Li Shimin said calmly: "God can't guarantee it!" Is it me? You've always been targeted, say, what's the good opinion? ”

Qin Feng sneered: "Let you see it? What a failure! ”

"Okay! Tell us your idea! Li Shimin was overjoyed, moved a maza, sat directly in front of Qin Feng, and listened to his ears.

"It's not that hard to put it bluntly." Qin Feng said: "My method is to assess, specifically for officials!" The test is every two or three years, and the result is that the capable go to the weak, and the mediocre get out! Isn't the official position vacant? ”

Li Shimin slapped his thigh violently, it was really amazing. (To be continued.) )
