"Lord Ministry, Lord Ministry, Lord Taifu Siqing Jia is here again!"

The report of the scribe who reported the news made Wang Molin's pen in his hand not obey the call, and with a shudder, there was an embarrassing scratch on the official document on the table.

The Jingcha and the plan were launched at the same time, and the people of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were like a sharp sword, cutting off the claws of many corrupt officials.

What followed was the distress of Wang Molin, the secretary of the ministry, almost every yamen came to ask for someone with him, especially Jia Cong of Taifu Temple, this kid is simply not a man.

Whoever fights corruption will suddenly turn against it to the point that there are few people left in the entire yamen.

Now that I know that I am in a hurry, what can my old Wang do? Where is my old king going to find someone for you now?

"Just say that the official is not there, let him go back!"

The last thing Wang Molin wants to see now is Jia Cong, but unfortunately Jia Cong has already arranged for the scribe to squat outside the yamen of the ministry, and it is not clear where Lord Tianguan did not leave at all.

"Prince, I'm here to send you talents!"

Jia Cong pushed open the door of the Shangshu room of the Ministry of Officials, and as soon as he came in, he hurriedly put a thick roll of official documents and a stack of roster resumes in front of Wang Molin's eyes.

"These are the lists of students recommended to the capital in the past three years, as well as their detailed information, including their grades and performance in public schools and Guozijian......"

"Push and exempt?"

For Wang Molin at this time, this word was like a dawn, dispelling the haze above the head of Lord Tianguan.

He happily grabbed a roster resume and looked at it, and the disgust that was still on his face turned into joy in an instant.

Charcoal in the snow, really charcoal in the snow!

"Jia Siqing, you have really solved the old man's big problem! These people just fill the current shortage of personnel in the DPRK and China......"

As he spoke, Wang Molin picked up the pen and prepared to copy the list, ready to let the people below go to the assessment and arrangement.

Syllable~

A chubby hand appeared on the roster, Wang Molin looked up suspiciously, but saw that Jia Cong's mouth was almost grinning.

"Don't worry, sir, let's talk about it first. Talents, I found them for you, but we can't chill the hearts of talents. Among these people, although most of them can't pass the Jinshi and Tongjinshi exams, as long as they are willing to work hard, not to mention three or five years, they may not be able to compare with the sons of the scholarly family. The imperial court is now encountering a problem, and people have given up the opportunity of the Golden Palace to roll the name and solve the problem for us, and we can't just use people casually. You always say, isn't that the truth? ”

Learn to write and martial arts, and the goods are in the emperor's house.

The previous dynasty's sentence that the roll call outside the Donghua Gate is a good man, this sentence is problematic, but it is the ultimate pursuit of reading in the hearts of the world.

Who doesn't want to go to the temple for a test?

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and reading is not just a diligent word.

Jia Cong's statement, although Wang Molin disagrees, but also knows that a small part of these push-exempt lives do have the ability to earn a Jinshi archway.

He is a secretary of the ministry, so he naturally understands the difference between an official who is born on the right path and an official who recommends him in terms of promotion.

In the civil official sequence, non-Hanlin is not included in the cabinet. In just this sentence, you can see the huge gap.

"You're right, we can't settle these people so casually. Since the implementation of compulsory education, many people have been waiting to see the effect of the imperial court's huge expenditure on this policy. If the cultivated talents are casually thrown into the corner and wasted, this is not only a dereliction of duty on the part of the official, but also a slap in the face of the court! ”

Wang Molin thinks much more thoroughly than Jia Cong, although the people under him have not done anything illegal and undisciplined, but as a key department in charge of the promotion of officials in the country, a five-grade outsider can make the political envoys of a province "cautious" treatment.

If he only wrote a warrant and asked the people under him to arrange the official positions of these people, he would not be able to force the people who had been found so hard to leave angrily.

Jia Cong saw that Wang Molin's expression gradually became solemn, and his eyebrows began to wrinkle, knowing that this old man had listened to his words.

He immediately put forward his own ideas: "Prince, I think we can copy the general examination and the palace examination, and have a special system for pushing and exempting students." ”

Boom!

Breaking through the obstacle with a word, Wang Molin slapped the table when he heard the words: "Yes, we can open a department!" The imperial court adopted the selection of materials, which can be regarded as raising the status of these push-exempt students. When the time comes, it will also give the imperial court a good reputation for cherishing talents...... It has to be you young people who have a fast brain, rest assured, after the end of the system, the best grades will be given priority to your Taifu Temple! ”

The system is the system, also known as the big department, the special department, is an irregular examination held for the selection of "extraordinary talents".

According to the ancient system, the system is divided into five classes, and the upper two classes are empty, but the following three classes are selected, and those who are selected are also the fourth class.

That is to say, the examination is divided into five classes, but the first and second classes are never vacant, and no one is admitted; The third class rarely admits people unless they are particularly excellent; Those who are in the examination are mainly placed in the fourth class, and those who fail in the list are placed in the fifth class.

Jia Cong can think of the system, or the idea he got from a fierce man recorded in the vast history books in his previous life.

This fierce man's name is Su Shi, the word Zizhan, known as Su Dongpo, Su Xian, and Po Xian. Like to eat and eat...... What Dongpo meat and Dongpo elbow are all masterpieces of this immortal.

Su Xianren participated in the palace examination, gave the Jinshi and the first, and four years later participated in the system and won the first place (the third class in the system).

Even Su Xian has experienced the system of science and entered the court as an official, so the promotion of students to enter the court with the system can solve the problem of difficult promotion in the future to a large extent.

This is also the ultimate that Jia Cong and Daiyu can strive for, and the imperial examination is still the most important way for people in the world to enter the office.

Unless the imperial examination system is reformed or abolished......

Forget it, this thunder can't be touched for the time being.

……

Wang Molin has been annoyed to death by the official documents of the dignitaries of various temples in the past few days, and now that he has a solution, he will naturally not delay it any longer.

immediately put the official documents and roster on the table into his sleeve, and left Jia Cong to go to the palace.

Jia Cong watched Wang Laoqi leave, and his right hand couldn't help but reach out to Lord Tianguan's desk.

The old man is so good, the list of alternate officials of the Ministry of Officials is in front of him......

"Jia Siqing, Master Jia, this can't be helped!"

The scribe was anxious, and watched Jia Cong take out a blank pile of official documents from his sleeve, and then picked up the roster and began to look for the talents he needed, and filled in two sheets with a brush.

Jia Cong pouted at the scribe, handed over the filled official slip, and ordered him: "Take it and let the Wenxuan Division stamp the big seal for the official." Tomorrow, this official will see these people report on time in Taifu Temple! ”

The scribes were about to cry, and the adults of their own departments went to the palace, and the entire ministry, including the left and right attendants, had no way to stop this young master.

What can he do, a little scribe?

Jia Cong sighed with two more, and grinned: "Don't worry, what do you owe me to these people?" The official just picks a few for use first, and the official affairs of the Taifu Temple can't be carried by the official alone. Go quickly, after your family comes back, the official will tell him that he won't blame you! ”

……

Wang Molin really didn't blame the scribes, and the emperor issued a holy decree with a stroke of his pen, asking the officials and the Ministry of Rites to arrange the arrangement as soon as possible, and hold the Yuan You 11th year in the Gongyuan on the first day of the first month of March.

Moreover, according to the emperor's wishes, a total of 120 people will be hired in the third and fourth classes. As for the first and second class, they are immortals, not in the realm of the human world.

In other words, the officials will be able to get one hundred and twenty new available talents at the beginning of next month, and Jia Cong will go to three or five people to sprinkle water~

The old man of Tianguan was happy in his heart, and with a stroke of his pen, he picked two from the alternate officials who were not bad, and sent them to the Taifu Temple.

With this send-off, the crisis of the employees of Taifu Temple has been alleviated.

"Keep me busy, within three days, I want to see the number of available war horses in Anbei, Beiting, and the Western Regions."

"If you don't have enough money, take the official's slip and go to the household department to withdraw it."

"The official has one request, the war horse must be the best, whoever dares to make some crooked melons and cracked dates for the official to make up the number, the official will use his head to make up the number!"

After a hundred years, the Ma Zheng of the dynasty has now reached the point of existence in name only.

According to the custom at the time of the founding of the country, five households and one horse were exempted from grain, and seven households and one horse were not exempted from grain, until those who could shepherd with their hearts removed their sins.

The use of tax reductions and exemption from crime to encourage the common people to raise horses can be seen in the importance that the imperial court attached to horse politics at that time.

The emphasis on horse administration, the basic improvement of the relevant management system, and the continuous introduction of incentive policies for horse breeding made the horse administration industry flourish in the early days of the dynasty.

In the twelfth year of Zhaowu, there were 891,280 horses in the country, and their number could basically meet the needs of officials and private individuals.

Later, after the desert of the Zhaowu Five Expeditions, the number of war horses obtained and the number of warhorses raised by the national dynasty itself soared directly to an astonishing more than 1.2 million.

But then there was twenty years of slack, and the heyday of the dynasty was also accompanied by the prevalence of greedy ink, among which the household bank treasury, grain depot and the horse administration under the management of the Taifu Temple were the most serious.

The household department is less money and food, and the people of the Taifu Temple set their sights on those horse households who provided war horses for the imperial court.

Looting, threatening, almost all available means were used, and the important war preparedness policy of the country and the dynasty was abandoned.

According to the information about Ma Zheng collected by Jia Cong's Long Guards, one of the secret letters from Shanxi was the most shocking.

His words said: The policy of Ma Zheng has the appearance of existence in name and death.

The so-called name existence refers to "the place number of the grassland, the section of the painting seal, the ministry issued the register, the field set up the department, the salvation decree issued to the general, and the picket committee in the department" These still exist.

And the real death refers to "the land has not been cultivated for a long time, the soil is not its nature, the penny is erected, the grass is coiled, the smell does not dare to approach people, and only suffering is used to feed the horses".

A few years ago, the country fought in the south and the north, and in order to meet the needs of the army, the people of Taifu Temple even did not hesitate to exchange the pastures of the imperial court for suitable horses with the family.

The number was not enough, so they made IOUs and borrowed a lot of horses from the wealthy merchants for the army.

After finally withstanding the attrition of several major wars, the hundreds of thousands of good horses captured by the army could have been left with three or five hundred thousand in addition to returning the loans.

But these people from Taifu Temple had sold a lot of the imperial court's pastures, and the horses could be rented to cope with the annual inspection, but if the ranch was sold, it would be gone.

So, after pondering, these people took the war horses and exchanged them for pastures......

Not to mention, if this set of operations were to be checked by those nerds from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they would not be able to see anything wrong from the account books.

Even if you look at it on the spot, the annual inspection time is basically a set time, which is enough for this group of people to rent horses from merchants on time to cope with the inspection of the imperial court.

On this operation, Jia Cong called a good guy.

My Qing Dynasty and adults are not as smart as your brains!

But Jia Cong was born in Rongguo Mansion, and other places are not clear, the horse farm in Hetao, there are people in the Jia family over there!

Those who have the ability to raise a large number of horses, cattle and sheep are either from the Guanwai clan, or there is the shadow of Wuxun behind them.

Coincidentally, the Jia family has a small horse farm in Hetao......

When Jia Cong learned from his housekeeper that the people of Taifu Temple had purchased a lot of good horses from his family's horse farm, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Take a look at the archives and account books, the horse farm of Taifu Temple has been rich year after year, why do you want to buy horses from others?

……

"If it weren't for the fact that the household department now has the money, it can buy enough horses from all over the place in time. Otherwise, the abolition of Ma Zheng alone would be enough to bring the conquest of the dynasty to a standstill. ”

Fortunately, the conquest mainly relied on foot combat and artillery warfare, and did not require too many horses. Otherwise, the irascible King Liu Yi would have returned to Beijing a long time ago, and all the people of Taifu Temple would have been skinned and hung on the city gate.

Lin Ruhai looked at the official document sent by Jia Cong, and his heart was beating for a while.

He could think of Ma Zheng's abolition, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"Of the 800,000 in the account books, there were less than 80,000 horses. The horse pasture was stolen by the army and the people, and the relatives were in a position to fight, resulting in the loss of the original number of 60 places, and there were 55,343 acres of land and 94 acres. ”

Hiss!

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but take a deep breath, Ma Zheng was dead, even if he wanted to save it, it was enough to choke.

"Ma Zheng has fallen into this situation, what are you going to do?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "Ma Zheng is dead, I have calculated that it will cost too much to save his death, and even if he cuts off the greedy ink this time, after a decade or two, maybe it will still be the way it is now." Why don't you start the game again! ”

The reopening is not a reopening according to the policy of Ma Zheng at the time of the founding of the country.

In Jia Cong's heart, he is already outlining a new Ma Zheng policy.

"Let's buy good horses for the army to use first, and then sort out the pastures that are still usable at the moment, and send special people to raise war horses, so that we can maintain the moment. My nephew plans to send people to the north and the Western Regions to see if they can find professionals and better stallions from there......"

No matter what kind of strategy, Jia Cong has always held the attitude of having talents and seeds.

As long as there are enough talents and excellent stallions, there is a foundation for building high-rise buildings.

As for the grassland and the new system, Jia Cong has to go back and think about it.

The value of the war horse and the value of the pasture are too high to make people forget the coercion of the law and take risks.

This time, he must figure out a set of horse administration system that is as perfect as possible, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
