Chapter 589: Extra Talents
"Not only do you have to come out to do things, but also let you sit in your old business......" Wei Zheng gave Luo Yangxing an affirmative answer without hesitation.
After receiving Wei Zheng's repeated affirmation, the anticipation and excitement on Luo Yangxing's face were already covered with a smile at this moment.
After taking a deep breath, he asked in his calmest tone as much as possible: "Lord Wang, do you mean that I will set up another Jinyi guard who will serve the Tiger and Par Army and listen to your orders......
Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "In order to distinguish it from the Jinyi Guard of the imperial court, the department that this king wants to set up will not be called Jinyi Wei in name...... The name given to this department by this king is called the internal guard, and you are the first director of the internal guard...... If you use the grade of the imperial court, this director is equivalent to the third rank of the imperial court, and he is specifically responsible for the king......"
Internal security, as the name suggests, is a department dedicated to its own people. As an intelligence chief who has been in officialdom for many years. With just one glance, Luo Yangxing could see the purpose of Wei Zheng's formation of internal guards.
Then, he directly asked Wei Zheng a question related to his rights......
"Lord Wang, the old man of the director of the internal security bureau is just a man, the old man wants to know in advance how large this internal security is, how much silver is used as funding every year, and how big the rights of the internal security are......"
The connoisseur will know as soon as he opens his mouth. And sitting in front of Luo Yang. Obviously a connoisseur of connoisseurs.
Because. Among the questions he asked. Without exception, they are all to the point.
After nodding with great satisfaction with the director of the internal security bureau he had chosen, Wei Zheng replied.
"Since Lord Luo, no, it should be called Director Luo now...... Now that you know the purpose of this king's formation of this internal guard, then this king will first tell you about the rights of this internal guard......"
"In order to avoid duplication of power, the internal guard only has the power of investigation, not the power of arrest and interrogation. The purpose of this king's formation of this inner guard. There is only one, and that is to ensure that all civil and military officials in the territory are sincere, honest, and in accordance with the law...... Therefore, what the internal guards need to do in ordinary times is to supervise all civil and military officials above the seventh rank and above the third rank and below the third rank in the territory......
"Of course, if you encounter an official who violates the law and discipline, you can directly protect me ......"
"There's one more thing to the defenders. That is, every ten days, the major events that happened in each county in the territory are put into writing. Report it to you, and you will screen it and then hand it over to the king for processing. Of course, if you encounter any major events and accidents, you can report them directly regardless of time......"
"There are two things in total, easier said than done. However, if the scale of the internal guard is too large, it will cause all the ministers of civil and military affairs to panic after worry. Therefore, my idea is that the size of the internal guard is controlled within 8,000 people, that is, one official and two internal security personnel to supervise...... After the establishment of the internal guard, we will strive to shoot a sub-bureau in each province and set up a smaller sub-bureau in each province. In this way, it can be managed layer by layer......"
"As for the expenses for the internal guards, the king's initial idea is that it will be 1,200,000 taels of silver per year. As for the salaries of personnel at all levels of internal security, they can be paid according to the standards of the army. As for Director Luo, for the time being, it will be distributed with reference to the general of the Haw Par Army...... Okay, that's all there is to say about this king, I wonder if you have any other ideas? ”
Under the gaze of Wei Zheng's clever eyes, Luo Yangxing was dissatisfied and disappointed with the rights of the internal guard. However, he did not come out. As soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Luo Yangxing's whole person was as if he had been stimulated, and he assured loudly......
"Please rest assured, I still have many old subordinates in these provinces controlled by the Tiger and Par Army. As long as the funds are sufficient, I promise that in two months, this internal guard will begin to take shape and do things for you, the prince......"
Wei Zheng smiled noncommittally and continued, "This king believes in Director Luo's ability. Otherwise, this king would not have come to Luo's Mansion in person and invited you, Director Luo, to go out of the mountain and form an internal guard ......"
"In addition, this king will tell you one more thing, ten days later, this king will evaluate all the original court officials who took the initiative to stay in Beizhili. As long as they pass the guò examination, the king will appoint them to official positions. However, the king did not know the conduct of these people and the purpose of their stay. Therefore, the first task after the establishment of the internal guard was to find out the details of these officials. This king doesn't want the territory and power he has worked so hard to fight for be destroyed by these people......"
"Yes, Lord Wang......" Luo Yangxing nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.
In less than three days, the news that the Beiwang Palace's palace was going to hold an examination in Beijing City, and the selection of officials was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading throughout Beizhili.
As mentioned earlier, these civil and military officials who are unwilling to follow the imperial court to the south and still stay in Beizhili have one thing in common, that is, they have no money.
Regardless of the real purpose of their stay, for them, they lose their financial resources.
In this case, the news of the Northern Wang's Mansion appeared in front of them like timely rain.
Because they all know that the Northern Wangfu may give them several times more than the imperial court. If they can really be chosen by the Northern King's Palace. Not to mention anything else, just the frighteningly high level of the Beiwang Mansion is enough for their family to live a good life.
Of course, the temptation of being an official is one thing, and the temptation of power brought about by being an official is also a very big factor.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the entrance examination spread, the low-level officials left by the imperial court in the entire territory of Beizhili began to rush to Beijing to prepare for the examination.
At this moment, the examination questions carefully prepared by Zhou Shuyuan were in Wei Zheng's hands and were read by Wei Zheng......
It took half an hour for Wei Zheng's eyes to move away from the exam questions in his hands......
Then, he directly commented on Zhou Shuyuan: "It's okay overall, but." Ben Wang has an idea here. I hope you can synthesize it......"
"This exam question in the king's hand. You put everything together and did the exam and grading together. It's not good......"
"The idea of this king is to divide this exam into three parts, one for criminal law, one for arithmetic, and the last for administrative management...... That is, the statecraft ......"
"The three questions are tested separately, and the ranking and comprehensive ranking of each subject are divided......"
"The overall score is very good. That means that this person is really talented and proficient in everything. For this kind of people, this king has only one idea, that is, to reuse, greatly reuse, and also to put them in the position of a county magistrate or a prefect, this kind of position, let them give full play to their talents......"
"As for those who have good grades in one of them, pass the other two, and have mediocre grades. We need to use it in a targeted manner...... If you have calculated it, you can send it to the household department, or go to the prefect and county government below to serve as a deputy in charge of taxation. Good grades in criminal law. Then he will be the deputy in charge of the criminal law. Those who have done well in government affairs are, of course, serving as deputy in handling government affairs...... As for the rest, and so on, and the king will not say more......"
"In a word, through this assessment, we must select enough talents we need......"
Because the application requirements for this entrance examination are too wide, no matter what your status is, as long as you are literate, you can apply for the exam.
In less than ten days, the city of Beijing gathered tens of thousands of people, and in terms of numbers, it was no less than the imperial examination held every few years in the imperial court......
Faced with this unexpected lively situation, Wei Zheng was directly suppressed.
Without the slightest hesitation, he asked Zhou Shuyuan: "Military Division, didn't you say that after the imperial court moved its capital to the south, there were only less than 3,000 officials and scholars left in the entire Northern Zhili?" How could there be so many people all of a sudden......"
"There are more than 10,000 candidates, even if one of the five people can meet the requirements of the palace, it is still a talent that the two thousand palaces urgently need...... Although there are many of them, however, this king does not dislike them at all. Even if we don't need it now, we can let them be their deputies, save these talents, and keep them for later use when there is more land......"
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, he had officially taken up the post of director of the Internal Security Bureau, and began to review the Luo Yangxing of these candidates.
"Lord Wang, suddenly there are so many candidates, I know what the reason is......"
"The imperial examination held every four years in the imperial court, although it gave scholars the opportunity to become officials. However, this imperial examination is only for scholars from all over the world. Except for scholars, whether you are a son-in-law, a businessman, or a military household, you are not eligible to participate in the imperial examination......"
"Among the thousands of people who suddenly came out, more than forty percent were talented, but because of their background, they were not qualified to participate in the imperial examination, and they could only be sons-in-law for the rest of their lives......"
"In addition, there are almost half of the candidates who are the descendants of businessmen. Because the merchants were rich, they exposed their descendants to the Four Books and the Five Classics, arithmetic and criminal law from an early age. Therefore, in the entire Beizhili area, almost every descendant of the merchant family meets the application requirements put forward by our royal government......"
"As for the last extra one, it is the descendants of the entire military households in the territory of Beizhili......"
"Good...... That's great...... I really didn't expect that our seemingly ordinary entrance examination would lead to so many talents...... It's beyond the king's expectations......" Hearing this, Wei Zheng, whose face was completely covered with a smile, directly opened his mouth and applauded.
Then, he said to Zhou Shuyuan and the others: "Military Division, Director Luo, this king can say for sure that among these more than 10,000 people, there must be many talents we need." Since the imperial court was reluctant to use such a large treasure house, the king gave it to him......"
"Military advisors, no matter how many people there are, as long as they meet the conditions, all of them can take the entrance examination...... If the venue where the imperial court held the imperial examination is not large enough, the king will vacate the military camp for you and use it as an examination room. If the examiner doesn't have enough flowers, this king will send you a regiment from the guard division, and if it's not enough, two regiments will also do......"
In a word, this king wants to see this assessment start and end. Of course, for the outcome of this assessment, this king is also looking forward to it more and more......"
