Chapter 207: Exams

Fang Xuanling didn't give up, looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin, who had known that Qin Feng had also persuaded him earlier, shook his head and smiled bitterly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Don't be sorry!" Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling frowned, how could they hide from Qin Feng, he said with a smile: "My characteristic is just cleverness, you let me tell me the cause and effect, and quote the scriptures is really not good!" It's a big deal, if I have any new ideas in the future, I'll just say them in time! ā€

Du Ruhui was the most calm of the three, and he couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Qin Xian's nephew, there are three stubborn diseases in the rule of officials from ancient times to the present, namely: corruption, mediocrity and incompetence, and inaction; Appraisal can cut out mediocre and incompetent people, and corruption can also be cut off from the root cause by your method. For officials who do nothing, can the virtuous nephew have an opinion? ā€

Qin Feng glanced at Du Ruhui, and saw that he was smiling and silent, as if he didn't care, but his eyes were full of eagerness, so he said: "Officials who do nothing are more capable than mediocre and incompetent people, and more honest than corrupt officials, but the characteristic is that they occupy a certain position and do not do things. First, he can withstand the assessment, and second, he is not afraid of the censorship of the minister, so he is as stable as Mount Tai. For this kind of person, I think it is most appropriate to leave it to the people to judge, just because the clean officials, corrupt officials and mediocre officials have a reputation, when more than 60 out of 100 people say that a person has done nothing, it proves that person really has nothing to do, since there is no need to exist since he has done nothing, it also means that he should give way to the person who has done something. The people are simple but their power is endless, and if the imperial court gives the whole people the power to supervise, then all kinds of corrupt officials and mediocre officials will have nothing to hide. In addition, the imperial court can publish the normal salaries of officials at all levels, and if the value of the real estate and land of some officials and their children far exceeds the income they have earned for many years as an official, it is worth pondering. ā€

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's expressions were completely shocked the moment Qin Feng expressed his meaning.

"That's a great plan!" Fang Xuanling's kind eyes flashed with sharp light, looked at Qin Feng, and said with emotion: "It's amazing, it's amazing, Uncle Bao has a son like this, it's really enviable." Your Majesty, come down like this, and catch one by one. ā€

"No hurry!" Du Ruhui had already regained his composure, and said after a moment of silence: "If this is really the case, officials at all levels will put themselves in danger and walk on thin ice, and when the time comes, who will dare to be an official?" ā€

"What Du Xiang said is extremely true, what I mean is that the imperial court must have such a basis, not for a certain person, but for all officials at a certain level, when a certain official is suspected, it can be judged on this basis."

"Your Majesty, this matter is feasible." Du Ruhui is good at making decisions, and knows that this is a good standard for judging whether a clean official is a corrupt official, and with such a standard, it will provide a very convenient basis for sorting out the rule of officials.

Datang has no bank, no bank, no paper money, so real estate, land, and shops are very important bases for judging whether a person is rich.

The effect of Qin Feng's method is to provide convenience for those who audit the accounts, which will save a lot of manpower, material resources and precious time.

……

November 22nd!

A group of students, carrying the four treasures of the study, opened the first exam in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and this exam may be a turning point in their lives...

Standing on a high place, looking at the mighty flow of people at the gate of Guozijian, Qin Feng seemed to have returned to his previous life. He had never experienced such exams in the college entrance examination, the high school entrance examination, and even the junior high school entrance examination, but he was once and as he is now, as the parent of the child of an important leader, and he also helped the child find an examination room in the crowd like these students. If Li Shimin hadn't given the order, he would have been able to experience the feeling of being a student again.

In order to deal with possible riots or other emergencies, and in order not to scare away the ambitious people, Qin Feng had already let 8,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army enter Chang'an in various capacities five days ago: there are smart soldiers in important places, areas where students are concentrated, restaurants, and Zhonghua Building, where the voucher proves that they can eat and live at a 50% discount, and as for the strategic highlands such as the houses around the examination room, there are all tiger warriors.

Qin Feng was standing with Li Shimin, who was wearing ordinary clothes, and suddenly, he found a fat man in the crowd who looked like a meat ball, drilling around in the crowd, "Your Majesty, have you seen that big fat man?" ā€

"See, what's wrong with him?" Qin Feng didn't see a problem after looking at it for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"This kid has an entrainment on him!" Qin Feng said in a deep voice; "Li Mu, take someone down him, search for the entrainment, and take the flail at the door for three days! and record the person's detailed name and place of origin. ā€

Li Mu took the order and walked away quickly with a few guards.

The main commander of the Tiger Ben Army will guard the peace of each side, and Qin Feng is personally responsible for the area around this examination room, and his assistants are Qiang Jianfan, Li Mu, and his personal guards.

Qiang Jian Fan and Li Mu have entered the "Qingyun Sect", and now, like all the guards, they have begun to learn the most basic internal strength method - the Tunafa method.

The method of tuna is the most basic method of practice. By exhaling turbid air and inhaling clear air, the internal exercise method to adjust the functions of various parts of the body can be practiced by everyone.

The guards selected by Qin Feng have quite good talents, and Qin Feng regards them as strange soldiers, so he carefully guides and teaches. In just one day, they each mastered the tricks of tunafa.

"How do you know he has entrainment?" Li Shimin blinked, very puzzled by Qin Feng's judgment.

"His head is small!" Qin Feng sneered: "His hat fell off just now, and the exposed head was disproportionate to his body, I suspect that he is not really fat, but has a cloth wrapped around his body." ā€

"I see!" After listening to Qin Feng's explanation, Li Shimin stopped talking, and at this moment, Li Mu and several others had already rushed into the crowd and arrested the fat man. When the fat man took off his hat, Li Mu saw a thin and delicate face, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Peeling off the fat man's coat, he saw that the fat man was wrapped in a thick layer of silk, and there were words written on it.

Li Mu was also very clever, so he asked the fat man to wrap the cloth used for cheating and stand at the door of the examination room with a flail.

Seeing the tragic scene of the fat man, a few students quietly left the crowd, although Qin Feng and Li Shimin also saw it, but since they gave up cheating, they decided to give them a chance. Of course, Li Shimin didn't expect that this was the first exam in Datang, and someone actually thought of cheating. It's a pity that this kind of ultra-low-level cheating method is too pediatric in Qin Feng's opinion. Which of the students of later generations is not a master? It's just not as high as the invigilator's means!

"Your Majesty, these cheaters have a great sense of speculation, they usually do not work hard, but they want to use this method to compete with the diligent and hard-working people, for such people who have no talent and no virtue, they should be severely punished! This is the first imperial examination of our Tang Dynasty, if there are some jokes because of this, the face will be lost, I suggest that the cheating person be punished heavily, and form rules, so that the people of the world know the determination of His Majesty and the court, and let them know that the court employs people, and real talent is the only standard. At the same time, the names and origins of those who tried to cheat were listed in detail, and posted all over Chang'an, and then let the counties to which they belonged post notices to expose their disgraceful deeds to the villagers and elders, so that everyone in the world knows that cheating needs to pay a heavy price, and after that, who dares to take advantage of opportunism? After Li Mu took care of the cheating fat man, Qin Feng suggested to Li Shimin.

"Quasi-play!" Li Shimin agreed without hesitation, these people who tried to cheat were first of all a talentless person, if they became fish that slipped through the net and obtained the arrangement of the imperial court, they would not have the ability to benefit the people; Secondly, cheating is immoral, and it is a despicable and shameless means to deprive talented people of their achievements. Therefore, Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Feng's ruthless methods.

"Spread the word and let people be sent to all the examination rooms to maintain order, and if someone is found fishing in troubled waters, there is no need for any reason! Proceed according to this law! ā€

"Yes!" Li Yuanqing, the guard beside Li Shimin, immediately sent someone to deliver the order, and he knew that Li Shimin attached great importance to the imperial examination. After a while, the entrances were surrounded by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who were responsible for maintaining order, and some petty thieves were also pulled out of the crowd and pulled directly to the gate with flail to show the public.

"Clothes, handkerchiefs and other items are also objects that cheaters are good at using, and the minister thinks that some more examiners can be sent to walk around the examination room, and once found, they will all be taken away."

Because it was the first imperial examination, there were still many imperfections, and now, the problems have been exposed one by one, and the only way is to send people to closely monitor them in the examination room.

"I can't think of it! There are so many doorways in just one imperial examination! Li Chengqian, who was brought in by Li Shimin for a long time, said with emotion.

"People have humanity, ghosts have ghosts, business has business, life has a way, everything has a way, for all the ways in the world, only by formulating corresponding rules, can the world be straightened out."

Li Chengqian asked: "Brother-in-law, in your opinion, among the hundreds of schools, which one is more suitable for governing the country?" ā€

"There is no one who is suitable, and there is no one who is not suitable, existence is the truth!" Qin Feng said ambiguously to the ghost.

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Can you say something about people!" ā€

"Rule the country by law, rule the heart by virtue!"

"Before governing the country according to law, there must first be a law to follow, second, there must be a law to follow, and third, law enforcement must be strict. You don't have a established law, how can you give your subjects a standard to do things? The purpose of the law is to let people know what can and cannot be done! If there is no perfect system of law in the mind, people will do things against the will of the state without paying attention. Therefore, I believe that it is especially important to have a sound system of law. ā€

"What about ruling the heart with virtue?"

"Carry forward the truth, goodness and beauty, spread positive energy, advocate patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness and other basic moral norms, cultivate a good habit of knowing honor and disgrace, stressing righteousness, making dedication, and promoting harmony, and encourage the people to worship virtue and goodness, see the virtuous and think together, and encourage the whole world to accumulate goodness and virtue!"

Li Chengqian listened very carefully!

Li Shimin was deeply touched that the law now being implemented is the "Wude Law", although it is the most perfect law at present, but Li Shimin is very dissatisfied, because, after many cases occur, the "Wude Law" has not been perfectly resolved, so the current law is slowly supplemented after the occurrence of some typical cases, and it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem. Because of this, Li Shimin attaches great importance to the words "there is a law to follow"!

However, he also knew that the system of laws was not built in a day, and that it would take time to accumulate here, but he was a man who pursued perfection, and when he realized that there was something lacking in this aspect, he already had a plan in his heart. (To be continued.) )
