"Spring is coming...... I Datang seeks talents from all over the world, opens the imperial examination to seek talents, and Luo Shixin, the secretary of the Imperial Criminal Department, is the main examiner, responsible for the selection of scholars for the imperial examination. ”

At the beginning of the second year of Zhenguan, the main discussion of this morning was the upcoming imperial examination.

The imperial examination germinated in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because Chen Qun's Jiupin Zhongzheng was made into countless prosperous gate valves in the past, which made it difficult for the scholars of the Han family to show their ambitions. In order to overcome the drawbacks of the nine-product Zhongzheng system, at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially after the middle of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people adopted measures to strengthen the role of examinations in the selection of talents, such as "rejecting Zhongzheng, limiting the number of years to enter the office, not restricting the qualifications, the nine streams are often selected, and the examination is awarded to officials".

Since then, it has gradually become a trend to take exams, and everywhere is vying to follow suit. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian, who was eloquent and talented, named the method of examination and selection derived from the Northern and Southern Dynasties as the imperial examination, and Li Shimin attached the most importance to talents, and attached great importance to the imperial examination, and reformed on the basis of the imperial examination of the Sui Dynasty in order to seek the world's talents. Therefore, the imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty and was perfected in the Tang Dynasty.

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was conducted once a year, and every year important ministers of the court would be selected as the chief examiner.

Luo Shixin sat on the side and pretended to sleep from the beginning, this man was self-aware. It has been a long time since I came to the Tang Dynasty, and I am familiar with the habits here. However, after all, enlightenment education is the current culture of the 21st century, and it is difficult to adapt to the ancient Four Books and Five Classics.

This point is also well known to the people in the DPRK and China, and when ordinary people say that he is both civil and military, they mostly refer to his achievements in military and government affairs. It has nothing to do with his level of culture.

Luo Shixin felt that this imperial examination had nothing to do with it. So he sat aside and rested.

Thinking of the entanglement battle with Zheng Liwan last night, I was a little annoyed in my heart. I hate myself for being a little uncontrollable, and it wouldn't be good if I was really pregnant.

As Xiaohuzha grows more and more, Zheng Liwan's desire for a child is extremely eager.

Luo Shixin agreed, but there was a little resistance: Pingyang was pregnant in November, but he was frightened, and even the experienced midwife said that if it weren't for Pingyang's martial arts since childhood, his body was stronger than ordinary women, and there was a great possibility that he would not be able to survive. There is also a little bit of psychological shadow.

Zheng Liwan had already reached the age of motherhood in ancient times, but her real age was in her early twenties, and she had not yet reached the best reproductive age that later generations had scientifically researched. In order to avoid any eventuality, Luo Shixin deliberately avoided her ovulation period and let her spend a year or two later.

This kind of thing is not easy to talk about in detail, Zheng Liwan is the kind of little woman who loves to investigate details, in case she will be wrong, maybe something will happen, so she didn't explain it to her.

The little girl always thought that she was not working hard enough. Every time I have a room, I work very hard, and Luo Shixin's strong body is a little unbearable. I didn't hold back last night and ejaculated during ovulation. Looking back on it this time, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

Just when he was thinking cranky. Luo Shixin suddenly heard that Li Shimin had appointed him as the chief examiner......

He never imagined that this examiner would fall on him, and the imperial examination was not as important as he imagined in this newly developed matter, but it was also the key to the attention of the Shilin Festival. The selection of the examiner has always been a top priority. Last year's chief examiner was the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji is the secretary of the ministry and the boss of the six departments. This old fox is more than enough to be an examiner regardless of his prestige or talent. Even if you avoid repeating this year, don't use the eldest grandson Wuji, what's wrong with him not being his turn?

I was stunned for a moment. After receiving a reminder from Li Jing in front of him, he woke up and received the order with a heart full of doubts.

This appointment was issued, and even if he had objections, he could not say it in front of this civil and military official.

At the end of the court meeting, Luo Shixin also found Li Shimin as a matter of course.

Li Shimin had already expected Luo Shixin to come back, so he took the first step in the courtyard of the garden and prepared some snacks and snacks.

"Come, and you'll know you're back. Accompany me to have a few drinks, I have been busy with headaches recently, and I even eat in three bites. There aren't many opportunities for this kind of leisurely drinking......" Li Shimin was in good spirits, but his face was a little tired, and he smiled and beckoned Luo Shixin to sit down and said, "You want to know why you were asked to be the examiner, right?" ”

Luo Shixin sat down as he said, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know my level. In just my three or two moments, I may not be able to read the Analects smoothly according to the book. Isn't it difficult for me to be the examiner? This Manchu civil and military person, who is stronger than me in terms of knowledge, grabs a handful. ”

"That's a good thing to say!" Li Shimin did not deny Luo Shixin's self-blackening at all, and said with his head bowed: "But they all have their own affairs and tasks, and they can't pull away!" ”

Luo Shixin was dissatisfied: "Then my criminal department will ...... There's nothing to do! His voice was a little low, and he said that he was a little weak. When he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, there were still a lot of things. At that time, it was determined that there were many lawbreakers who survived the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it was difficult for them to change their wildness after the turmoil, and they did not obey the rule of law of the Tang Dynasty.

There are still a lot of things to do in the Punishment Department......

However, with Luo Shixin, Han Zhongliang, Ma Zhou, Liu Yanke, Liu Dewei, Sun Fujia, and other judicial officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the rule of law is safe. In the current Tang Dynasty, all industries were booming, and as long as they were willing to work, there was almost no possibility of starvation. In this smooth situation, the crime rate is the lowest.

With this crime rate at a low rate, Luo Shixin's criminal department naturally has nothing to do, and small cases can't bother him as the head of the criminal department. Luo Shixin has been really idle for a while: every day he reports to the Criminal Department on time, explains it, flips through the military books, dozes off, eats lunch and takes a nap, and then he can go home to play with the children.

In order to buy people's hearts, Li Yuan gave high-ranking officials generous gifts to those who defected to Li Tang, making them think that they had met the master and sincerely served Li Tang.

This method of buying people's hearts did bring great benefits to Li Tangjiangshan in the early days of his business, but there is no doubt that it also left the hidden danger of redundant officials to later generations.

Li Shimin's layoffs and downsizing are precisely the solution to the sequelae left over from the beginning.

Li Shimin's drastic layoffs, reducing more than 2,000 officials to 643 people, shows that Li Shimin's remark that "officials are winning people, not having more people" is by no means empty words.

At present, each of the officials serving in the court has his own duties and tasks, and he shares the affairs of at least three people, and has also formed an atmosphere of doing practical things.

Luo Shixin's leisurely official is unique in the current court.

Li Shimin saw that Luo Shixin's confidence was insufficient, and said with a smile: "You are the emptiest, who will come if you don't come?" Besides, it's not for you to compare your knowledge with the candidates, what are you afraid of. ”

Luo Shixin thought that his leisurely days were about to leave him, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Don't give me this set!" Li Shimin scolded with a smile: "Is it really impossible for me to be blind? The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are the most chic in terms of your Luo Shixin official, and you enjoy it more than me, the emperor, so what's wrong with giving you a task? ”

Luo Shixin shrank his head, not daring to squeak, thinking about the upcoming "Spring Festival", he could only print his scalp. Thinking of the imperial examination, I suddenly remembered that at this time, there was only a Wenju exam, and there was no martial arts test, and the martial arts examination came out during the Wu Zetian period.

In the development of this country, it is not good to emphasize too much on literature, and it is not good to pay too much attention to military force, and it is the king to pay equal attention to civil and military development together.

There is a imperial examination, but there is no martial arts, what do you think?

At the moment, he also told Li Shimin about martial arts, "Your Majesty, you see, my Tang Dynasty relies on literati to govern the country, and I have to rely on our generals to fight a war." This literati has the imperial examination to be able to show himself, but what about the military attaché? Why don't you also have a martial arts, assess the world's talents, test their martial arts, art of war, archery and other skills, and then have a martial champion, what do you think? ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he patted the stone table and said, "It's a little interesting...... he thought about it, shook his head again, and said: "Forget it, I'll record this mention in my heart first, and I'll bring it up when the time is right." At that time, I was giving you credit......" He sighed regretfully, and felt a sense of grievance.

"Why?" Luo Shixin was puzzled, this mention yì is good to execute, what else is ink.

"If you don't belong to your family, you naturally don't know that firewood and rice are expensive! Recently, the empty treasury has broken my heart. You have a nourishing little life, how can you understand my feelings! As soon as Li Shimin said this, he poured bitter water, and it seemed that this emperor was not happy at all.

Luo Shixin was even more confused: "How could it be, my Datang's current economic development is so rapid, after the opening of the Silk Road, I heard that the commercial tax has more than doubled compared with before, it shouldn't be so poor, right?" ”

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said: "When I am here, I can only enter and exit?" Where does the money come from to develop the wasteland and increase the grain production in the coming year? You opened up the Maritime Silk Road, to put it simply, to study the compass, to study the technology of sea vessels, where did the money come from? There are countless places where I need money for the development of Datang, and I can't wait to break a Tongbao into two pieces to use. If I adopt it, I will announce it to the whole country, and carry out township tests and will try what kind of mess is this, isn't this money from my Datang treasury? This development should not be too anxious, lest we go to the front of the dynasty. The lessons of the previous car are vivid! ”

Luo Shixin listened to Li Shimin's bitter water, and he was also shocked in his heart, and it seemed that he was a little bit of a seedling to grow. Because he changed history, in just a few years, the economic status of Datang has developed at a rapid pace. If this development is too fast, there is also a danger that the foundation will be unstable...... It's like the Great Leap Forward of later generations......

"That's right......" Li Shimin saw that Luo Shixin had some understanding, and he didn't say it anymore, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "I heard yesterday that Goguryeo has a Jingguan in the territory?" (To be continued......)
