If there are no high-ranking officials over the age of 60 in the family, why should they fight against the emperor.

Therefore, this part of the people was quickly co-opted and divided, so that the opposition voice became weaker and weaker, and it is estimated that after a period of time, it will slowly disappear.

In the month of Layue, seeing that the end of the year was approaching, and the self-inspection deadline of the sect was approaching, there had been no movement in the previous two months.

Liu Zhi didn't let people urge him, and the entire court was busy arguing about retirement, and no one paid attention to them.

This makes some people's minds start to come alive again, could it be that Your Majesty is just making a show?

However, since the emperor has already opened his mouth, he can't lose face at all, and many people are symbolically packing a little extra property, and then wait to see the situation.

Seeing that the wax moon was halfway through, there was really no time to postpone, so people began to report the list to the court one after another.

Basically, they are all townspeople, county marquis or something, they are far from His Majesty, and they know that they have no backing, so they dare not resist.

Of course, King Qinghe has always been imprisoned by the emperor, and he has no intention of government affairs, so there is no such thing as restitution.

Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, was even more single, so he simply threw the matter of the investigation to Zongzheng Mansion to investigate on his behalf, and stayed in the capital and kept his door closed.

There are not many remaining princes, such as the King of Plains, King Chen, etc., all of them have not moved.

In the twenties of the lunar month, it was really impossible to drag it out, so they began to hand in the list, and Liu Zhi didn't say anything, letting them do whatever they wanted.

In the past two days, Liu Zhi finally determined the retirement system, and all courtiers, regardless of their official positions, must retire when they reach the age of 60.

The imperial court will continue to distribute the money until his death, and even receive a batch of funeral expenses after death.

Officials with outstanding merits will also be rewarded at His Majesty's discretion and given some meritorious positions, which is also the practice of the imperial court.

After retirement, if the body is strong, and the official who is really inseparable from the position, who is above the fifth rank, can continue to stay in office with the approval of His Majesty.

If it is necessary to stay in office below the fifth grade, it will be recommended by its superiors step by step, then reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, and finally approved by the Cabinet.

The reason why it is so strictly implemented is that it does not prevent officials from protecting each other and causing the retirement system to become a dead letter.

At the time of retirement, if one of his direct children has passed the imperial examination or the graduation examination of the four major colleges, he may be given priority in the office of the officials.

In fact, Liu Zhi still borrowed from the modern civil servant retirement system, and then combined with the rules of the dynasty to synthesize this new system.

The reason why it was done before the year was to invite these old courtiers out, and by the way, to hold a farewell meeting for them during the New Year, and then to determine the cabinet candidates in the first month of next year.

At this order, Hu Guang also knew that the general trend had gone, and he was anxious, and he was really sick, and he couldn't even participate in the farewell party now.

Liu Zhi sent the crown prince Liu Jin to visit him and gave him the title of a townsman, but he did not have a feudal estate, it was just an honor.

The rest of the officials above the fifth grade, to the age of all reported, Liu Zhi hooked out a few capable courtiers, and the rest were all approved.

Of course, Chen Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources, was also among those who remained in office, he was born poor, and for many years he had climbed mountains and waded through rivers and traveled around, but his body was very strong, and he was healthier than many courtiers in their fifties.

In the last few days of the lunar month, the list was announced, and naturally some people were happy and some people were worried, but unfortunately the number of places to stay was determined by the emperor himself, and even if he had opinions, he did not dare to express them.

You can only find a way to find a way for the direct children of the candidates, you must know that over the years, with the improvement of the imperial court institutions, more and more people have been admitted to the imperial examination every time, but there are not so many vacancies.

Or they are not satisfied with the position arranged by the ministry, and would rather continue to wait than take office.

Therefore, although many people have passed the Jinshi examination, they have waited for three or four years, or even five or six years, and they are still idle, and it is difficult to say whether there is a suitable position behind the key.

This priority, in fact, is very important, and it somewhat fills the resentment in their hearts.

Of course, the head of the family is really not angry, and he doesn't know how to learn at all, so no one is to blame.

On the first day of the first lunar month, a celebration ceremony was held as usual, and envoys from various countries in the capital were also eligible to attend.

The Roman envoy unexpectedly brought good news that the physician mission that had helped them with smallpox had officially declared their success and had obtained the smallpox vaccine.

Liu Zhi was also very happy, and was able to research a vaccine, which could not only win the gratitude of Rome and change the military power on the Silk Road.

More importantly, it also indicates that Dahan will not be attacked by smallpox from now on, which is definitely a good thing to congratulate.

This time, the medical mission has made great contributions, and they have been away from home for many years, and when they return to China, they will definitely receive a grand reward.

Immediately afterwards, the envoy brought him another piece of good news, someone had seen Liu Zhen in Rome a year earlier, when he was with a nobleman of the Roman Executive Yuan.

It seems that Liu Zhi's guess is not wrong, the second son did go to Rome, and he also made friends with some local magnates, but I don't know if he was involved in the coup d'état in Rome.

That's it, no matter what, it's his own choice, he's an adult, and he must know what the consequences are, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

The banquet on the first day is like this every year, lackluster, and for Liu Zhi, it is even more busy and boring.

The banquet for retired officials was set on the second day, and the number of people was not large, only one or twenty, and this was the result of the rapid increase in medical standards in recent years.

Dahan's comment: Although the life expectancy has only increased by a few years, the key is that the medical conditions in rural and remote places are too poor.

The life expectancy of those nobles in the capital has been significantly extended, and there are more and more people with high life expectancy.

Therefore, the problems he encountered had never been encountered by the emperors of the Han Dynasty in the previous four hundred years.

Of course, with the continuous progress of medicine, the life expectancy of the people continues to increase, and the elderly will no longer be rare in the future.

While the situation is not too serious, the system should be determined as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass Liu Jin in the future.

At this banquet, Liu Zhi also gave all the rewards that should be given, and as for the retired people over there, no one cared about the nobles.

But Liu Zhi knows very well that they don't look down on them, but the huge number of grassroots officials is very rare, and they can completely solve the problems of life.

The officials of the Han Dynasty are not low, and Liu Zhi has raised the standard several times, in order to support the honest with money.

In this way, when he severely cracked down on corruption and bribery, he was able to become famous and fully take care of the interests of low-level officials.

As for the cabinet candidates, they will naturally not be announced until the first day of the 16th day of the first lunar month.
