Section 1002 Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang

The position of lieutenant of Si Li, from the very beginning, was planned to become the future Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, it is necessary to appoint a reliable minister with a Legalist background.

This person must be familiar with all Han laws and the background in which they were enacted, and must also have extensive experience in civil affairs.

In other words, this candidate must be a legalist or a criminal law expert who is inclined to legalism.

At the same time, he had to be a county warden or county lieutenant for at least four years.

Moreover, the lieutenant of Si Li was newly established, and by all means, this person must also be an old-school bureaucrat.

In short, it is the kind of old fritter who is familiar with the legal provisions, has rich experience, and knows when to strictly enforce the law and when to turn a blind eye.

This kind of person is not easy to find in today's world.

In Liu Che's well-known memory, there is no memory of such a minister.

But fortunately, the emperor does not need to know and know how many talents there are in this world.

He only needs to hook his hand, and there are people who are willing to run for him.

Not to mention the position of Captain Si Li, which is likely to become Jiuqing in the future.

Therefore, after Liu Che let off steam, the ministers of Jiuqing have already recommended their confidants or related households.

In the end, Liu Che chose the candidate recommended by Jin Wuzhi.

The person recommended by Zhi Du is called Yan Ping.

Ten years ago, he used to be the county guard of Shu County.

It was under his rule that Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying got the first pot of gold.

It was also under his rule that Deng Tongming's prosperity flourished, and Deng Tong's coinage and Wu King Liu Bi's coinage divided the world's financial market equally.

However, it's a pity that if you jump too high, you will be pulled up the list.

When Liu Che's father came to power, he first killed Deng Tong, and then expelled Zhang Shizhi.

In the end, the party comrades of Deng Tong and Zhang Shizhi were pulled out one by one and named.

Yan Ping was implicated because of this and was driven home to farm.

And Zhidu and Yan Ping are fellow countrymen.

They are all from Hedong.

Even, the two are still enlightened by the same teacher.

Therefore, Zhidu has a very close relationship with Yan Ping.

As soon as Liu Che saw Yan Ping's resume, he immediately decided to make him the lieutenant of the division.

The reason is very simple, this person is a Legalist bureaucrat, but under his rule, Deng Tong, Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying are all very good.

This proves that he did not discriminate against merchants.

I don't think that businessmen or industry will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Secondly, when Yan Ping ruled Shu in those years, although the local workshops were piled up and there were countless mines.

However, the social production and life of Shu County have not been affected.

This proves that he knows how to balance and how to weigh things.

Such an official can't even be found with a lantern!

"I have intended to take Yan Ping, the former county guard of Shu County, as the lieutenant of the division!" Liu Che looked at the people in the hall and said slowly: "Don't wait for another discussion!" ”

As for the faces of Chen Jia and Fan Shiren, Liu Che didn't even bother to look at it.

It's just two sycophants, and they don't need comfort.

Besides, if the sycophants can't even bear the emperor's slap in the face.

So what do you want them to do?

After announcing this decision, Liu Che sat down, looked at the ministers, and said, "Next topic!" ”

The ministers also quickly cleaned up the mess and returned to their respective seats, looking at their noses and noses.

As for what they are slandering in private, only God knows.

……………………………

The next topic is naturally related to the examination.

This year's examination, the number of references, finally broke through the expectations of Shaofu.

The total number reached more than 22,000 people.

Just to prepare them for the examination room, the Han family vacated all the martial arts arenas inside and outside Chang'an.

Even, a lot of venues in Shaofu were requisitioned.

Barely enough to get so many scholars to take the exam.

Then, in order to print the test papers.

Shaofu spent more than a million dollars just to buy paper!

The entire examination, before and after the expenditure, as much as tens of millions.

This is not counting the cost of the army dispatched by the Han family in order to maintain law and order.

However, these expenses are cost-effective.

It is also reasonable.

At present, inside and outside the court, no one dares to propose that it is too troublesome to take the examination once a year, change it to once every three years, and then raise the threshold or something.

Because, as long as they dare to make this suggestion.

Ensure that they do not dare to walk out of Weiyang Palace.

The eggs and stones and spit of the people of Chang'an will certainly not be stingy on them.

The examination has developed to this day, and a whole industrial chain has been formed.

Every year, Chang'an's rent rises sharply, all kinds of businesses prosper, and all kinds of money are made to the point of pain.

Almost all the people of Chang'an have benefited from the examination.

Even if you are just an ordinary person, as long as you have a few vacant rooms in your home, you can make money!

So much so that some people began to focus on the Luli of Chang'an, and even the houses in the civilian area.

Whether there will be a pre-AD real estate businessman, Liu Che does not know.

However, the pre-century real estate businessmen and property speculators have appeared.

Of course, the country has paid so much and received a reward, which is also amazing.

Not to mention, this year's examination has admitted a total of more than 8,900 scholars. (Now that the first two rounds are over, in other words, in fact, the admission numbers have been counted)

This data is a huge improvement in itself!

This is equivalent to selecting nearly 9,000 available civil servants for the state.

In the future, they will prop up the skeleton of the Han Empire.

But now, he is the number one enemy of the Han Empire!

Nearly 9,000 students were admitted.

However, even if Liu Che stuffed all the sons of Shang Jia into the Yamen of the Lord Duwei, there were still more than 6,000 people waiting to be distributed.

And now, the country has racked its brains and only freed up about 4,000 jobs.

This means......

"In this year's examination, there are still more than 2,000 scholars who urgently need to be distributed!" Liu Che looked at these ministers, waved his hand, and said, "Qing and others are all humerus, at this time, they should be the first in the world!" ”

"Jiuqing Zhuya, a thousand more positions must be cleared!" Liu Che stood up and said solemnly: "There are all Si Zhucao, all of them need to make a military order, clean up to age within a time limit, and still fall in love with the people who can't go!" ”

The people who were called by name all bowed their heads and gritted their teeth.

Removing officials is not an easy thing to do.

It's going to offend!

But, the emperor's board is held high, who dares not to obey?

So, everyone twisted and pinched, you look at me, I look at you.

Then reluctantly, you thirty and fifty received the quota.

But it is bitter that Zongzheng and Taichang.

These two yamen themselves have more officials, but the trend of aging is also greater.

Many Si Cao's interior is full of old ministers.

There are even old officials who have worked from Emperor Gao to this day, and are still shining.

According to the system, they should have retired long ago.

However, the crux of the matter is that there are many positions in the Taichang Yamen and the Zongzheng Yamen, but in fact, they do not require hard work, and it can even be said that they do not need to go to work.

You only need to report every month at the end of the month.

For example, the officials of the Taichang Yamen to Emperor Hui's tomb and the staff in charge of Emperor Hui's temple.

There is also the Zongzheng Yamen, the staff in charge of those princes and kings.

These people may not be able to do one thing all year round.

Since they can lie down and eat imperial food at home, they are naturally reluctant to retire.

Many people have dedicated their lives to the 'Great Han Society'.

Moreover, Zongzheng and Taichang did not want them to retire.

Because as soon as they retire, if nothing else, many positions and establishments are probably going to say goodbye.

In the eyes of bureaucrats, whether a department has power and prestige is closely related to the number of employees and the number of employees in that department.

For example, in Shaofu, there are hundreds of thousands of hired workers and officials.

So he was rampant and domineering, treating the other Jiuqing as nothing.

Therefore, Zong Zheng and Taichang originally planned to die rather than obey.

But alas, this is not a problem that they are unwilling to solve.

Because, the other Jiuqing, Zongzheng and Taichang, sold them without hesitation.

They all said: The ministers all think that Zongzheng and Taichang are all Si Cao, and there are many officials who have accumulated years......

They also produced evidence - personnel files.

Look at the piles of sixty, seventy, or even eighty-year-old ministers.

Looking at the Son of Heaven and his colleagues.

Zong Zheng and Taichang could only pinch their noses and approve and accept each of the military orders to clean up more than 300 officials.

But they didn't know that while the courtiers were talking and arguing endlessly, Liu Che quietly asked Ji Di to stuff all the scholars born from the sons of merchants into the lord's yamen and the salt and iron official office.

This can also be regarded as a variant of the Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang. (To be continued.) )
