Chapter 401: It's Still a Problem of Money (Part I)

As soon as Lu Chengqi wanted to get up, the household department Shangshu Lin Zhen came out and said: "Your Majesty said that the ten grade officials are all good, the minister Shicai has a little mental calculation, if all the officials are changed to ten grade officials, and the imperial court will issue a good fortune, my household department will have to issue an extra 1.5 million yuan of money and silver in January." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I am an official in the DPRK, and I would have spent more than one million yuan. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in treasury expenditures. Even if you save more, I'm afraid you will have to spend more than 30 million yuan a year! Coupled with the funds allocated to the Ordnance Superintendent, the Royal Universities, the Royal Military Academy, the Supervision Department, and the various yamen, how can the treasury support it? If there is another natural disaster, what is it good? ”

Lin Zhenzhong held the morning wat and talked eloquently. Although there is not a single word against this ten-grade official system, the treasury revenue and expenditure can be used to put pressure on the little emperor, this method is really amazing. Lu Chengqi also understood what Lin Zhenzhong meant, no matter how honest an official was, when he encountered this kind of thing beyond him, his first thought was to oppose rather than support. Even if Lu Chengqi uses his personal prestige to suppress it, they will disobey the yang and the yin, and even "strike" in disguise, collectively calling the illness to put pressure on Lu Chengqi. Although such a thing has never happened, Lu Chengqi, who has watched the court dramas of the later world, can imagine it with his toes.

Politics is an art of compromise, and even if Lu Chengqi has the power to the world, it is impossible to do whatever he wants. Even if he knew that the Shipin official system was the most suitable system for Dashun, it greatly damaged the interests of those who had already become officials and those who were ready to pass the scientific examination to become officials, so how could they compromise?

The wisdom of these people is not inferior to that of posterity. They are especially sensitive when it comes to their own interests. At this moment, the opponent Lu Chengqi faced was the entire scholar class. I am afraid that it will not be so easy to solve the problem as quickly as the last time we rectified corrupt officials. It's just that if you put too much energy into internal friction, how can this country develop, and it's okay if you don't die.

It's just that so many people strongly oppose it, and even if Lu Chengqi has a firm will, he has wavered a little: "Could it be that this time the steps are bigger?" That's not right. I just went with the flow and used Li Ran's words to bring out the ten-grade official system. I really haven't done anything about it! In the end, I am still a little more tender, and if I make things bigger, this ten-grade official system will come into being. Alas......"

These words of self-prief and self-pity cannot be said after all. Lu Chengqi also knew that if he was soft today, he would not want to put forward this ten-grade official system in the future. A lesson from the past, a teacher from the future. These important ministers of the court are not dry meals. When it comes to their own interests, how can they take it lightly? If you don't take advantage of the situation today, and give these important ministers of the court a chance, I'm afraid that this ten-grade official system will end without a problem.

These thoughts were spinning in Lu Chengqi's mind, struggling to find a solution. When he was worried that there was no one to relieve him from the siege, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the appearance of the old god Li Ran in the imperial history in front of the hundred official ranks, and he was overjoyed in his heart: "Yes, it was the question raised by this old boy, why did he stay out of it?" ”

Come to think of this. Lu Chengqi immediately stared at Li Ran and said, "Li Qing, in your opinion, how to solve the problem of Yu Lu?" ”

There are many important ministers surnamed Li in the court, but as soon as Lu Chengqi's words came out, everyone knew that he was asking Li Ran. Because Li Ran is the initiator of this matter, don't ask him who to ask?

Li Ran also knew that if he brought up this matter, it would be impossible to stay out of it. But he didn't expect the little emperor to be so radical, and he directly took his salary from the bottom of the kettle and took away the officials' jobs. On doing things. Ten officials may not be able to catch up with one capable official. As time goes by, who can guarantee that the officials in the court, except for those who are extremely capable, will not be replaced by the officials? Such a system is terrible. Although Li Ran seemed to be out of the way, he was also scared into a cold sweat. Now it was his turn to speak, and he immediately said the words that had been prepared in his stomach for a long time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this ten-grade official system is really inappropriate. Xu officials, but those who know some poetry and books. But it has never been scientifically examined. If the ten-quality official system is implemented, who in the world will not compete to be a bureaucrat? Why bother to study hard and win the title of the gold list? Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the foundation of my Dashun country, if this ten-grade official system is implemented, it will cause a catastrophe, I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Lu Chengqi fell into contemplation, except for a few courtiers, the entire Daqing Hall fell to his knees, and they all said: "I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

Li Ranben has no party or faction in the DPRK, and his popularity is extremely poor. Is there any official who has not been impeached once or twice by him or his Imperial Observatory? I haven't been impeached by the Imperial History Observatory, and I'm embarrassed to tell others that I'm a Beijing official with more than five grades! It's rare to see Li Ran have such popularity, so many people follow his words and beg Lu Chengqi to take back his life, it seems that this time it really hit them......

Lu Chengqi thought about it carefully, it seems that he is also a little thoughtful, if he takes this shortcut, with the Chinese's opportunistic skills, maybe a good thing really becomes a bad thing. If you think about it in this way, Li Ran makes a lot of sense.

The significance of the imperial examination is to select talents for the country, provide opportunities for scholars who do not have aristocratic status to participate in politics, expand the social foundation of Dashun's rule, and make Dashun's bureaucratic system more advanced and more in line with the needs of the times. More importantly, the imperial examination provided a steady stream of high-quality talents for the bureaucracy, which is the real purpose of the imperial examination. The quality of the officials is uneven, if the implementation of the ten-grade official system, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be evil officials, cool officials, for the so-called good political performance and promotion of officials and deception, fish and meat the people.

Thinking of the possible consequences, Lu Chengqi was finally willing to take a step back: "Zhongqing, let's settle down, this matter is indeed ill-conceived......

Seeing Lu Chengqi's appearance of wanting to take back his fate, the Chinese military officials of the hall were overjoyed, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming!" With that, they stood up happily.

But Lu Chengqi's words were not finished, and then he said: "...... However, I must implement this ten-grade official system. As for how the officials of the ten grades are promoted, they are based on their fame and virtue. If there is no meritorious name, they shall not be promoted; Those who do not do things for the people and oppress the people shall be dealt with according to the law, dismissed from office, and shall not be used again for life; The ten rank officials are limited to six years, and those who do nothing will also be dismissed. I said that the court does not raise idlers, since it eats the king's lu, it must be loyal to the king. That's the change, what do you think? ”

After hearing Lu Chengqi's words, who of the civil and military officials didn't understand being tricked by the little emperor? It's just that the little emperor can back down to this, and they can accept it. At least the ten-rank officials who were born in the imperial examination can have the opportunity to be promoted. In this way, the one who is finally famous is the right way to be promoted, and it is not much different from the original. It's just that the backward jinshi have to go through the training at the bottom before they can be promoted. As for the life and death of the new science and technology scholars, these civil and military officials will not care, they wish that they would not become a man for the rest of their lives, not to die for old age, and not to beg for bones!
