After reaching an agreement with Tian Bijiang, he retreated for convenience and knowledge. And Zhang Shuo continued to discuss with the ministers of the Qianguo. This time, the main meeting was that Wang Anshi and some other officials who stayed behind reported to Zhang Shuo the work report of the past month, as well as some things that had happened in China.

There are no big problems, there are only three main things. Because of the melee in Xuzhou, the number of displaced people who came to defect to Qianguo increased day by day, and the number of soldiers in the military government in various places quickly exceeded 100,000.

Limited by the problem of food, Wang Anshi formulated special recruitment standards for government soldiers, mainly to accept young and strong laborers and technical personnel. According to the law, they can bring a specified number of relatives to join the military government according to their own circumstances. Qianguo does not accept displaced people under the age of 13 and over 45.

Zhang Shuo affirmed the restriction of enrollment standards, but made some minor changes to the measurement of acceptance standards, and did not accept displaced people under the age of 8 and over 50.

The second is construction, because of the sharp increase in the number of government soldiers and the blessing of the national spirit, the progress of construction projects in various parts of Qianguo is very rapid, but it is precisely because of this that the stone and timber materials in Qianguo have become in short supply. Wang Anshi proposed that the Department of Agriculture plan the area for reclaiming the fields in advance, and then dispatch government soldiers to open up the wasteland and collect timber and timber at will.

Zhang Shuo also affirmed this suggestion, and solemnly warned Chen Wen, director of the Construction Department, that the mining of stones and the cutting of trees must be controlled, and if they cannot be collected in one place, they will be fully mined, so as not to cause loosening of the land and subsequent natural disasters such as mudslides.

The third problem is that there is a large shortage of grassroots officials in the Qianguo, and as the Qianguo becomes more and more powerful, the work of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee is also increasing day by day. Not only is it hard for the courtiers to work too much, but it is also difficult to take care of all aspects, so that there are more or less problems in various departments.

In particular, those old ministers at the beginning of the Qianguo, although after the efforts of the past few months, their intellectual and political attributes have been successively improved to the level of 20+ and 30+, but there are still a lot of problems, and Wang Anshi, who is also the director of the two departments, has to constantly check their work and make timely revisions and rectifications.

Now, Wang Anshi suggested that Zhang Shuo recruit a group of self-motivated, idealistic, and ambitious young people to serve as small officials in various departments, maybe they don't even know a word, but they can definitely help the officials of various departments to a greater or lesser extent, and solve some miscellaneous matters. After a long time and a long time, these young people can also become qualified officials.

For Wang Anshi's suggestion, Zhang Shuo also gave affirmation, as for how many officials to recruit for each division, this question needs to be discussed slowly in the future.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the news that Lone knows, Yang Jian, the king of Yongzhou Great Sui, presided over the autumn imperial examination the day before yesterday, sincerely recruiting people from all over the world, and pre-allowing the world's talents to be used by his Great Sui State, and the surrounding sons and hundreds of talents are vying to gather first.

Just now, when Wang Anshi, director of the Ministry of Governance, proposed to train aspiring young people, Lone has been thinking about why the Great Sui State can hold the imperial examination, but our Qianguo cannot follow suit! ”

In view of the shortage of talents in Qianguo and the little gain from the recruitment hall, Zhang Shuo decided to hold a imperial examination in Qianguo after careful consideration, this time not to recruit a few historical celebrities, but to recruit more literate literati.

As soon as Zhang Shuo's voice fell, Xiao Cong, director of the Department of Education, came out of the column and said: "At present, Xuzhou is in the midst of a war and chaos, and I am afraid that many scholars will not travel to hold the imperial examination at this time. ”

As soon as Xiao Cong's words fell, Wang Anshi stood up again: "The monarch, the minister also wants to say a few words." ”

"Director Wang, please speak!" Zhang Shuo smiled and made a gesture of please.

Seeing this, Wang Anshi immediately stepped forward and raised his voice, and at the same time said to the other ministers: "The minister thinks that the imperial examination is not an easy task, because he has seriously damaged the interests of the gate valve family, and it is difficult for them to succeed in the real sense.

The minister believes that he can't wait until the spring to consider this matter, if the monarch has the heart to hold the imperial examination, then he should start preparing now, only when the preparation is sufficient, so that the imperial examination is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there will be thousands of scholars to respond, and the monarch must not listen to Director Xiao's misguided words. ”

When Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, heard this, he couldn't help frowning, he immediately came out of the queue and said to Zhang Shuo: "Monarch, Director Xiao just said that the imperial examination will be held again in the spring of next year, and he didn't say that he will ignore it now. Director Wang's words like this, slandering the family and the ministers of the same palace, I am afraid that he is pampered and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes. Please be wise! ”

As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, several courtiers responded, including Wang Anshi's own brother. Zhang Shuo was also a little helpless about Wang Anshi's radical words just now, at present, most of the Qianguo civil and official groups are from families, Wang Anshi's words not only offended Xiao Cong, but also scolded the ministers casually, and the hatred was simply full.

"Wang Anshi, as an important minister of the imperial court, you slander your colleagues and the family without evidence, and you should be punished for your crimes.

However, in recent days, you have worked hard and hard for our internal affairs, and you should be rewarded for your hard work. Now that the merits and demerits are offset, there is no reward or punishment, do you have any objections? ”

After some consideration, Zhang Shuo still chose to bring this matter over without pain. After all, Zhang Shuo really needs a talent who dares to carry the black pot for himself and shout with the family, and Wang Anshi can do both.

"The minister has no objection, but only asks the monarch to understand that the matter of this imperial examination is very important, and if one is not handled well, it will arouse public anger at least and ruin the country at worst. Don't take it lightly! ”

Wang Anshi, who was worried about the country and the people, didn't care about Zhang Shuo's punishment of him, but just hoped that Zhang Shuo could understand the seriousness of the matter and attach importance to the imperial examination.

In response to Wang Anshi's repeated admonitions, Zhang Shuo also nodded solemnly, and then said to Wang Anshi: "The imperial examination matters are assigned to the Department of Governance, and Anshi is personally responsible for supervising it!" Mr. Chun Yuji was temporarily engaged in the Minister's Division, assisting Director Wang in handling the official affairs of the Minister's Division. ”

"Thank you for your trust, the minister will not let you down!"

Seeing that Zhang Shuo handed over the matter of the imperial examination to himself. Wang Anshi confidently assured.

"Monarch, I am afraid it is inappropriate to entrust the matter of the imperial examination to a department in charge of the Ministry of Governance. If someone cheats on this, I am afraid it will have a great negative impact on our country! ”

Imperial Doctor Xiao Yu spoke again, also aimed at Wang Anshi. But what he said is indeed reasonable, and Zhang Shuo can't refute it, after all, not everyone can see Wang Anshi's 100 loyalty.
