The budget system is a new thing, and even if the four major departments of authority feel that it is necessary to carry it out, after all, the scope of the matter is too wide, and once it is to be implemented, it will be implemented throughout the country, and there are too many places that need to be coordinated between the top and bottom, so we must be cautious.

And the result of prudence is to keep discussing.

It is necessary not only to improve the deficiencies that exist in this system. No system can be copied and rigid, it must conform to the current situation, which is not only Zhang Xi, Zhuge Liang and others are also very clear.

It is also necessary to set up some transitional means, so that the central ministries and even local governments can get used to such a system, and they cannot be implemented suddenly, otherwise everyone will not know how to do it.

In order to implement this budget system, the biggest problem facing Dahan at present is the shortage of personnel.

Just as Jian Yong complained bitterly, the Ministry of Industry, which most needs to implement the budget system, does not even have a few people who can really write qualified budget reports, and there are so many projects in the country that there are many types of projects, and there are not enough manpower to send out all the literate people in the Ministry of Industry to formulate budget reports.

Not to mention at the local level, they don't even know what a budget report is, let alone write it.

Therefore, this matter must be implemented, but it cannot be implemented in a hurry, it still has to be done step by step.

And how to promote it step by step, these things still need to be discussed.

Forget about other people, Zhang Xi and Liu Ba, the two initiators, must have accompanied the whole discussion until the end.

Therefore, on New Year's Day of the second year of Zhang Wu, Zhang Xi officially took off the holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve, went home to worship his ancestors with his wife and children, and was arrested by Zhuge Liang again on the fifth day of the new year to continue to discuss the implementation of this budget system.

It's really idle, idle, idle. I knew that I shouldn't have talked so much about Liu Ba so much.

In the end, after arguing for a long time, Zhang Xi proposed - if you really think that it is a bit risky to fully implement it now, then let's draw a circle in the north of Chengdu and get a special zone out.

Well, Hanzhong is actually a good place.

The place in Hanzhong has been reclaimed for several years, and after all these years of recuperation, the population is slowly recovering, but the arable land is slowly being abandoned. This is exactly what needs to be vigorously developed and transformed.

Once this place in Hanzhong is to be vigorously developed, the number of projects that need to be built and repaired will be very large, not only to build various water conservancy facilities, but also military facilities and city walls, etc., a lot of things to be done, just to try out this budget system.

In addition, the current Hanzhong Taishou is Huang Quan, this is a person with both civil and military skills and good character, and it should be reassuring that he will coordinate and promote this budget system.

As for the problem of this talent is not enough. Zhang Xi suddenly remembered, isn't Ma Jian in Nanzhong trying to run the imperial examination?!

It's been almost three years, and the first batch of talents for the imperial examination system should be selected, right?!

Transfer a group of these people to Hanzhong as assistant officials and assist the chief official in implementing the budget system, won't this manpower be available?!

Moreover, these children of the poor family who were born in the imperial examination, whether in Nanzhong or Hanzhong, just went to be officials, unlike officials born in the inspection system, as soon as they became officials, they were ranked, and most of them were the chief officials of the first department, so that it should not arouse the vigilance of the big families, thinking that this was robbing them of their right to speak and jobs.

What Zhuge Liang has to do is to ensure that these officials also have enough channels to rise, so that they will not always be able to be assistants, so that the implementation of the imperial examination system will unconsciously make the court have a place for the children of the poor family, and in the end, it will become logical to replace the inspection system with the imperial examination system.

Zhuge Liang didn't expect that Zhang Xi's proposal of the budget system was not enough, and he also related this budget system to the imperial examination system. What the hell, it's troublesome again.

But Zhuge Liang thought about it and felt that what Zhang Xi said might be right. Ma Jian worked in Yueshan County for more than three years, not only vigorously developed the iron mining area and gold mining area of Yueshan County, and provided a large number of iron and gold tools to the Han Dynasty, but also selected more than 30 young officials with good ability in the imperial examination he presided over.

For the time being, these officials were all arranged in Yueshan County, either as assistants in the government or as the chief bookkeeper in the iron-making workshop, all of which were low-level official positions.

But there are so many people, Ma Jian can't arrange it for a Yue Jun Taishou, and sometimes these people do very overlapping things, and there is a feeling that people are floating in things, not only Ma Jian is dissatisfied, but these scholars from the imperial examination are also very dissatisfied.

For this reason, Ma Jian has written to Zhuge Liang several times, asking Zhuge Liang to help place these low-level officials from the imperial examination. If you don't settle down, no one will want to take this imperial examination.

After all, there is no way out if you are admitted, so it is better to continue to study at home, or even take refuge in the family, maybe there is a way out than going to the imperial examination.

The question of the way out for talents in the imperial examination has also come to the time when Zhuge Liang must think seriously.

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and could only choose to approve Zhang Xi's suggestion.

Letting these people from the imperial examination become assistants will not attract the attention of the families, and second, it will also give these people from the imperial examination a glimmer of hope that they can continue to maintain this imperial examination system.

Besides, a person born in the imperial examination system also has an advantage, that is, by looking at his results in the imperial examination, you can know what he is good at.

The imperial examination system itself is divided into disciplines, and the imperial examination set up by Ma Tan in Nanzhong, according to Zhang Xi's suggestion, is not as complicated as it is.

If you think that you are rich in learning and know everything, you can go to the Bachelor's Examination, if you feel that you have a deep attainment in the classics, you can go to the Enlightenment Examination, if you think that your arithmetic ability is good, you can go to the Enlightenment Mathematics Examination, and if you think you know the law, you can go to the Enlightenment Law Examination.

At Zhang Xi's suggestion, Ma Tan set up a total of these four subjects: Jinshi, Ming Jing, Ming Calculation, and Ming Law.

Which link these people are good at, you can see from his background.

Now Zhuge Liang waved his hand, and each of the four departments took half of the manpower to go to Hanzhong to form the Hanzhong Pre-degree Department, which was under the jurisdiction of the Hanzhong Taishou Prefecture and was responsible for the implementation of the budget system of each government in Hanzhong.

At the same time, Yang Yi was transferred to be the director of the pre-degree department and presided over the daily work of the pre-degree department.

Zhang Xi actually raised objections to this candidate.

This so-called director of the pre-degree department now seems to be just a department director under the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong, and the level is not high, and it is a concept that is considered to be the head of a county.

But if you wait until the future, once the budget system is promoted throughout the country, this Ministry of Advance will become a benchmark, and the status of the head of this Ministry of Advance will definitely rise, and it is not impossible to even become a member of the imperial court.

It's not good who you let do this, you have to let Yang Yi, a villain with a small amount of energy, do this?!

Zhuge Liang sighed at this, and then asked Zhang Xi: You are among our people, can you find someone more suitable for this position than Yang Yi?!

Then Zhang Xi was speechless.

Yang Yi is the best at arithmetic and co-ordination, and he also did his best when dealing with the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition army, Liu Bei returned to Hanzhong and specially summoned Yang Yi and rewarded him.

This man is talented. But he really has no virtue.

But what if there is no virtue, Yang Yi's talent is there, Zhuge Liang's meaning is obvious, even if you don't divide the faction, you can find it from the Jingzhou faction, the Yizhou faction, and the Yuan faction, and if you can find someone more suitable than Yang Yi, then I will withdraw the appointment.

Zhang Xi can't find it, he really can't find it.

To have a Liu Ba is already the best gift left by God to Liu Bei, if there is no Liu Ba to preside over Ji Han's daily economic work, I am afraid that Liu Bei's frequency of conquest, even if Shu has the reputation of the country of abundance, he can't afford Liu Bei to toss so much.

And now Liu Ba is the head of the household department, and he has a lot of things to do, and the pressure is very high, if you let him preside over the Hanzhong Preliminary Department, it is really a long life.

Liu Ba is over fifty years old this year, and he is not young, and it is already very difficult to deal with so many things at this age.

And Zhang Xi remembered that Liu Ba didn't seem to have a long life, at least he couldn't compare with Deng Zhi, Liao Hua, and Zongpre.

Yang Yi is Yang Yi.

But Zhang Xi still didn't feel at ease and suggested that Zhuge Liang must look at that Yang Yi with a good look, after all, this product is actually similar to Wei Lao Pifu, and he is not a master who can get along well with others, plus his qi is narrow, don't cause any trouble in such an important place as the Preliminary Department.

In this regard, Zhuge Liang could only sigh and tell Zhang Xi that in fact, he knew all this.

To put it bluntly, Ji Han's talent pool is too small.

Although after nearly ten years of Zhuge Liang's layout and efforts, it is the issuance of paper and the promotion of engraving and printing, but in the entire Shu, the power of the family still has the upper hand, and the number of poor students is still small. can only retreat to the second, using its talents instead of its virtues.

Zhuge Liang knows very well what kind of person Yang Yi is, but Zhuge Liang doesn't want to use any choice, but now he really doesn't have a choice.

Yang Yi, in terms of character and talent, is indeed not reassuring, but in terms of talent alone, it is most suitable to put him in the position of the pre-determination department.

As for the future, let's talk about it.

It's really not good, so let a guy who is idle every day and has nothing to do, and can have time to sneak from the military department to the household department to hang out, take on a little more things.

Everyone is working hard, just this kid is at home every day with his wife and children, right?!
