It's useless for others to say this, but Liu Bei is really useful when he says this, and the deterrent effect is huge.

The people of the ancient literature school have just witnessed the end of the modern literature school, and have seen the miserable end of the modern literature school being liquidated as a whole.

In the face of Liu Bei's strength, as well as the real deterrence, they had no better way.

In the public opinion environment and political environment dominated by Liu Bei, everything that the modern literary school did was wrong, the past of the modern literary school was a complete failure, and if the ancient literary school wanted to imitate the modern literary school, it would be digging its own grave.

Using the miserable end of the modern literary school to give eye medicine to those impure minds of the ancient literary school is very good in the current public opinion environment.

So, after a fierce debate meeting, with the support of Lu Zhi, Liu Bei's resolution was passed by a relatively small margin within the ancient literature school.

Opening up part of the knowledge of governance to the grassroots students of the ancient literature school who can enter Taixue does not involve the knowledge of governance and power scheming of real high-ranking officials, but at least at the level of county orders, it can involve some and popularize some political knowledge to them.

It is equivalent to that under the leadership of Liu Bei, the top level of the ancient literature school was forced to carry out a limited wave of "academic downward movement" in essence.

This is a victory for Liu Bei's line.

After establishing the reform of Taixue, Liu Bei began to make small moves again, and wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to carry out a wave of slight improvements to the country's personnel system.

The personnel selection system of the Han Empire is actually quite interesting.

Its personnel power is not held by a fixed department, but many departments and even individuals can control personnel power, so that personnel power is outrageously dispersed.

Not to mention the subordinate officials of the county Taishou and the state assassin and the state pastor, at the central level, in addition to the election department of Shangshutai has a certain personnel power, there are also the general's mansion and the three princes' mansion have personnel power.

The general can summon subordinate officials, and can also directly recommend officials to the Son of Heaven, and the third duke can also recall subordinate officials, or directly recommend officials to the Son of Heaven.

In the personnel pattern of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shangshutai Election Department, which is backed by the Son of Heaven, competes with the four public governments, and the central and local governments also highlight a division to resist.

It is difficult to say how powerful the imperial power is if the personnel power cannot be unified, and it is really uncertain how much deterrent an emperor without comprehensive personnel power can have on the empire.

Therefore, the current political structure of the Eastern Han Empire is a matter of course.

Liu Xiu's reforms took away the apparent political power of the Three Princes, thus forming the concentration of administrative power in Shangshutai, but did not take away the personnel power of the Three Princes, so that the more it developed into the back, the more the Three Princes could influence the political pattern through personnel power.

So in the political field, the relationship between the Shangshutai Election Department and the Three Princes is quite delicate.

And now, a sudden general Liu Bei has appeared, relying on military merits, prestige and the special identity of the Han clan, Liu Bei's power obviously overwhelmed Shang Shutai and the Three Dukes, and became the first power deservedly.

As the first person in power, Liu Bei's improvement proposal is to connect the Taixue graduates with the Shangshutai Elective Department, and what the Taixue graduates face after graduation is the Shangshutai Elective Department, and the main assessment is presided over by the Shangshutai Electoral Department.

Then, according to the qualifications of the students, the Shangshutai Selection Department arranged government affairs for them, and arranged them to various grassroots positions for training.

Originally, the future of Taixue graduates was diverse, and you could take any road you wanted, as long as you could get through, whether it was the electoral department, the Sangong Mansion, the Great General's Mansion, or the local state government, county government, or county government.

And now, Liu Bei hopes to take out a standardized road, and make a fixed connection between the road and the Shangshutai selection department after the graduation of Taixue graduates, and then make an adjustment to the assessment method of selecting graduates, from the original symbolic transition to a real assessment.

Of course, it is limited to grass-roots positions in some areas, mainly official positions, and only the top 10 in the graduation examination can be assigned to official positions.

In the central government, Liu Bei suggested that the positions below 600 stones, and the posts that did not involve the Three Princes' Mansion and the General's Mansion should be arranged by the electoral department, and the positions above 600 stones should be negotiated by everyone.

Regarding Liu Bei's suggestion, at the Jiade Hall meeting, many people looked at Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi inexplicably, because Lu Zhi was the only third-duke-level official who was still in office at that time, and the Shangshutai Election Department and the Sanduke's Mansion were hostile in a sense.

Liu Bei's suggestion was intended to strengthen the power of the electoral department, which seemed to be unfriendly to the three dukes, and even not good for his own general's mansion, why is this?

Lu Zhi raised some questions at the time.

Although he had communicated with Liu Bei before and knew Liu Bei's true purpose, he knew that someone cared and needed him to do this.

Therefore, Liu Bei said that he believes that talent selection needs to be standardized, institutionalized, rigorous and cautious.

"Previously, a folk song had been circulated in Luoyang for many years, showing talents, not knowing books, showing filial piety, fathers living separately, cold and innocent as mud, Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken, and the things that children in Luoyang know, but the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are regarded as if they have never happened, so year after year.

What happened as a result, you have all seen it, the Liangzhou Rebellion, the Hedong Rebellion, the Luoyang Rebellion, the Yuzhou Rebellion, the Jizhou Rebellion, the Youzhou Rebellion, the chaos one after another, one after another, endlessly, is this what we want to see?

What is the reason for all this, that ballad has been made very clear, can not select really useful talents, incompetent mediocre people occupy high positions, under the dominance of today's literary school, real talents have no chance to become officials, and their children are in high positions one by one, dragging the Han into the abyss.

This kind of situation is not what I want to see, so while carrying out reform in running schools, we must also correct the selection of talents, and the mistakes of the modern literary school must be corrected.

The selection department is responsible for this part, there is a fixed staffing, and it is very convenient to adjust and deal with it, and Zhang Changshou must be willing to cooperate with the imperial court to handle this matter, am I right, Zhang Changshou? ”

At that time, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang like that, and Zhang Rang, who was still the Shang Shuling, blinked, and then nodded. "If it is the demand of the imperial court, Shang Shutai will naturally respond."

Liu Bei then looked at Lu Zhi.

"Captain Lu, you should be able to rest assured, right?"

Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Rang and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"If Shang Shutai is willing to cooperate, of course it would be great, the national talent selection is indeed the most important thing, which can be discussed more later."

Under Lu Zhi's nod, this matter was not uneventful, and it was finalized. And for this matter, Zhang Rang's attitude is more ambiguous.

He felt that Liu Bei had an idea about the selection in his hand, and he also talked to Liu Bei about it.

"I won't hide it from you, I don't plan to reach out to the electoral department at present, but in the next stage, I plan to concentrate all the employment power of the entire imperial court, whether it is the general, or the third duke, or any other general of the opening government, I will find a way to collect it, and the electoral department is of course among them."

Zhang Rang was taken aback.

"This is an unprecedented thing, since the establishment of the Elective Department, there is indeed the idea of wanting to divide this part of the power, but the existence of the Great General and the Third Duke, the Fourth Prince's Mansion, is deep-rooted, and even Emperor Guangwu can't shake it, let alone now?"

"Don't talk about Luoyang, I even want to take back the right to employ people in the local area, so as not to take the county as the country every day, and those who don't know think that the Great Han Kingdom is a hundred small countries rubbed together."

Liu Bei smiled: "Of course, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult, and it is not easy to do it, so I will not act rashly, isn't this a little bit?" You have to try something little by little. ”

"I feel very wrong with you at the slightest bit."

Zhang Rang thought about it, but still asked tentatively: "Then again, if I don't want to hand over the selection to you, what will you do?" Will you do it to me? ”

"I promised you that you would be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life, that's for sure."

Liu Bei smiled and patted Zhang Rang's shoulder: "But it's just to make you rich and old, you know." Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei's smiling face and shuddered for no reason.

"Yes." "That's good."

Liu Bei's smile was as good as ever.

Some people died, but not completely......
