Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the gentlemen were so angry that they couldn't do it, and their hearts were even more panicked.

A mere blacksmith, even if he is proficient in this way and has a skill, how can he let Wu Wang Qingji entrust him with a heavy responsibility?

But, that's just the way it is.

As the first person to eat crabs, the cadre will go from an ordinary swordsmith to the sky in one step, and he was sealed with gold, becoming the second only to Jiuqing's great work order, how can people not be envious?

Not only that, after rewarding the cadre, Qingji specially allowed him to "praise the official".

That is, wearing official robes with printed ribbons, taking a carriage, and under the crowd of hundreds of stubborn armor soldiers, they marched around Wudu for a day!

Let everyone see the demeanor of the cadre.

This is similar to the champion of later generations, after being canonized, he often had to carry out official activities in the capital!

This not only shows that Qingji attaches great importance to the cadres, but also shows that Qingji does what he says.

Wu Guo seeks talents, only talents, and the elders with a skill can enter the court as officials!

Cadre, is a living example!

"The husband should be like this!"

At this moment, seeing the high-spirited cadres standing on the golden platform, Fan Li, who was watching in the crowd, couldn't help but sigh with such feelings.

Why did he join Wu?

Isn't it because the temples of Chu State are dark and non-aristocratic that they can't go out, burying their talents?

Now, Wu Wangqing is really a meritocracy, regardless of his background.

Isn't this the Ming monarch that Fan Li yearns for?

On the recruitment platform, the original 250 eridium gold was reduced by one-fifth, and only 4,000 taels of gold remained!

That is, it proves that there are still four people who can have such an honor as a cadre, ascend to the golden platform, and be crowned an official by King Wu and entrusted with important tasks.

Including Fan Li, all the scholars present knew this.

They all expect that they will be the next leader, the next person to climb the golden platform!

……

Wu Palace, the main hall!

Qingji is discussing state affairs with his ministers.

Just as Qingji had expected before, he gave a golden knighthood to a lowly cadre, which really attracted the criticism of the ministers and doctors led by the above doctor Shen Xi.

"The king, please take back the king's order, and don't let the cadres enter the court as officials!"

"Exactly! The king, the cadre is just a swordsmith, and he was born as a lowly blacksmith, how can he be an official in the same dynasty as the second and third sons? Ministers are ashamed to be in the company of such lowly servants! ”

"The king's search for talent is beneficial to the country, and the ministers should not stop it. However, the cadre's background is too low, and this spread may not be conducive to the king's reputation and damage to the national body! ”

"Please think twice!"

All the ministers and doctors knelt down under His Majesty's platform, begging Qingji to think twice and not to "make mistakes".

For their inner thoughts, how can Qingji not know?

There are two main reasons why the ministers are strongly opposed.

First, Wu has reformed the official system, and the government has implemented the system of three princes and nine secretaries, although the great work order is not within the scope of the three princes and nine secretaries, but it is second only to the nine secretaries, and the authority is not small.

Once Qingji fully implements the system of three public and nine secretaries, if there is a candidate, where will the loser go?

After all, the cake of Wu Guo's official position is so big, and if there is one less person to share, the greater the benefits and power they can get!

Second, the cadre's background is too lowly, and he is a little person with no name.

How can it be linked to meritocracy?

Just because you're good at forging swords?

To please King Wu Qingji with a sword?

Let such a cadre enter the court as an official, and the ministers all think that it greatly lowers the overall image of Wu and damages the national body!

This made it difficult for the ministers and doctors to accept.

However, Qingji doesn't care about this.

I saw him slowly stand up, glanced at the ministers, raised his eyes lightly, and said loudly with a momentum that looked at the world: "The edict of the widow, how can it be changed overnight?" ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, deafening, so that the ministers and doctors kneeling under His Majesty's platform were stunned for a while.

"If a cadre has talent, the widow will use it. If there is a talent for governing the country and enters Wu and offers the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, why don't the widows respect the officials, treat each other with courtesy, and divide the land with them? ”

As soon as they heard this, the ministers and doctors were speechless.

Because they have realized that Qingji is serious!

The resolute gaze reflected in Qingji's eyes shows that if any minister dares to speak at such a time, please ask Qingji to withdraw his life, and he will be punished.

Saying that he has been lonely for a long time, and the celebration is vague, he has developed a unique temperament of a king!

Don't be angry!

Say no!

In other words, it contains a derogatory meaning of "rigidity and self-use"!

It is in this way that Qingji shows his determination to the ministers.

Therefore, this time he chose to stand on the opposite side of the minister's doctor, instead of letting Ji Za and Sun Wu act as the first birds!

"The king is wise!"

Dazai Kiza bowed first.

The ministers were helpless, so they could only endure the dissatisfaction in their hearts and agree with Qingji's resolution!

"Dazai, can you prepare for the crown ceremony?"

Qingji set his eyes on Ji Za again.

"Back to the king, the ceremony has been prepared. The gift of the king's crown can be held as scheduled! ”

"Good."

This is a question that Qingji must be concerned about.

Gai was only a few days away from his reign ceremony, and the ministers of Jin, Qi, Wei, Lu, Song and other countries as envoys had already arrived in Wudu thousands of miles away.

If this time the ceremony of celebrating the crown of jealousy cannot be held as scheduled, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?

Subsequently, Ji Za listed the steps, expenses, etiquette, and required buildings of the ceremony on a bamboo slip for the temple to convey the celebration.

Qingji saw this bamboo slip, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows!

"Dazai, is the regulation of this crown gift too simple?"

Simple, this is still the face that Qingji gave Ji Zaliu!

Otherwise, isn't it just simple?

It's rudimentary!

Shabby!

Stingy!

Not in line with the royal system!

Let Qingji himself be embarrassed.

However, in the face of Qingji's questioning, Ji Za did not panic at all, and said slowly: "King, this simplicity naturally has the benefit of simplicity. Since the reign of the great king, every war, diplomatic relations, and rewards, why not need money? ”

"The gift of the king's crown is in line with the etiquette system, does not violate the patriarchal law, and has the style of ancient relics!"

"In this way, the people of the world should know that my king is a benevolent and simple king, and he does not lose his magnanimity!"

Hearing this, Qingji could only say quite depressedly: "Dazai has a heart. ”

Qingji knew that Ji Za was taking the opportunity to prepare for the gift of the crown, taking the opportunity to vent his inner dissatisfaction, and made a roundabout statement to Qingji.

The expenses of the Guy Wu Kingdom during this period are too great!

Fighting, bribing Chu Yue's monarchs and ministers, rewarding meritorious soldiers, building a golden platform and a recruitment hall, placing 250 eridium gold on the recruitment platform, and properly placing Wu Xiancai, treating each other with courtesy, etc.

Which one doesn't cost money?

And it's a huge amount of money!

With the financial resources of Wu State, I feel that I can't bear it.

The strong family foundation accumulated by the kings of the Wu Kingdom was almost not consumed by Qingji!

What a penny is hard to beat a hero!

If it weren't for Ji Zha's knowledge that every penny spent by Qingji was useful and beneficial to the country, I am afraid that he would have to give a bitter persuasion.

Rao is like this, Ji Za also wants to take this opportunity to let Qingji understand that there are not many finances in the treasury, and ask the king to be tight!
