After listening to Tu Minghui's request, the ministers present instantly did not dare to speak, they recommended officials who were inextricably linked with them, either disciples or descendants, the Four Books and Five Classics are proficient, but if they are proficient in agricultural affairs, to put it mildly, they may not even be able to distinguish between leeks and wheat.

Even if there are three days for an emergency assault.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to pass the assessment.

In addition, in case of failure, the recommender will also be punished by being demoted by one level, and the officials naturally dare not recommend blindly.

Besides, the emperor said that he could sign up by himself, and those disciples, nephews and nephews, if they really want to fight for it, then let them try to sign up by themselves.

They'd better not get involved.

"Why is it so quiet all of a sudden, didn't you say that there are many people to recommend to me?

Li Shangshu, I remember that I just heard what you were saying that you don't avoid relatives and recommended your son-in-law, why don't you mention your son-in-law now? ”

Today is the first day that Tu Minghui went to the court after returning from Qitian, and he needs to establish his authority, so that the officials can know that they are back, and now the court is no longer the time when the previous princes took turns to supervise the country, and they were not allowed to be presumptuous.

So the question is asked unceremoniously.

It also did not give the Manchu Dynasty a civil and military step down.

"Your Majesty, the minister did think about recommending his son-in-law before, and at the same time, the minister still has something to say, promoting crops does not necessarily mean that you need to be able to do farming!

It is not enough to know how to take care of and manage.

If Your Majesty is really not at ease, it is a big deal to ask the officials in charge of promoting crops to bring a few people who know agricultural affairs as their staff, and the final effect will be the same.

Why bother to produce papers for exams? ”

Li Zhengguo, the head of the household, was a little nervous at the moment of being named, but quickly calmed down and began to defend himself instead, and attacked Tu Minghui's idea.

Farming is not a big deal, I don't understand it, just bring a few people who understand, just like those jinshi who were released as county orders just after the imperial examination, how can they know how to do county orders, and they all have to cooperate with the county lieutenant and the master.

Some county orders do not have the cooperation of the county lieutenant and the master.

It's nothing at all.

But people are still county orders, no matter how capable the master is, he can only come up with ideas behind the scenes, and he can't get on the stage, after all, the master is basically not from the imperial examination.

I don't even have a ticket to become an official.

With Li Shangshu coming out, other high-ranking officials present also echoed it, quoting scriptures and classics one by one to put forward their own ideas, summing up with one meaning, there is no need to test agricultural knowledge, go down to promote crops, and not to plant crops in person, as long as you can promote it, why do you need to understand agricultural affairs, you really can't bring a few people who understand agricultural affairs, you don't have to understand it yourself.

I really want to find an official who is proficient in agricultural affairs.

That's not enough manpower.

"Yes, yes, I didn't know that you were so eloquent, and I was able to cultivate for a year for the people of the world, and be proficient in agriculture, and you would like to pick my peaches even if you don't know anything.

Do you think I deserve to do my best for you?

Or do you think I deserve to work for you?

If you don't know how to farm, bring a few people who know how to farm, what, Li Shangshu, why don't you send me to your son-in-law, after all, after a year of study, I am also quite good at farming.

That's what you mean? ”

If Tu Minghui hadn't planted a field for a year, and these high-yield crops were not planted by him, then he might not be so sensitive, or even just forget it, as long as he can promote the crops.

There's no need to worry too much.

But now the situation is different, these high-yield crop seeds can almost be said to be planted by him alone, even with those unintelligent cattle and horse tools, and he worked hard to plant them together, as for his father, it is purely a credit account, and after a few days, he rubbed the credit on his side every day, and did not cultivate many acres of land from beginning to end.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these high-yield crop seeds are his children, and he has definitely put a lot of effort into it.

Give these seeds to those who know how to do farming, and those who understand to promote them, and he is willing, but give them to those who don't understand anything and know that they are commanding from above.

He would have the feeling that his heart and soul had been tarnished.

This is the core reason why he is so picky.

No, as soon as his words fell, Li Shangshu hurriedly knelt down, and didn't even dare to say, the minister definitely didn't mean anything like that, the emperor said that he had sent himself to his son-in-law to work, and he dared to say something more.

Don't you want to die?

I still want to bully the king and trespass.

At the same time, the other ministers present also reacted, and now sitting on it is no longer the few little princes who need to listen to their suggestions, but the emperor who has real power in his hands, and has the supreme meritorious emperor who has cultivated the fields for the people of the world for a whole year, Tu Minghui.

Now he even has to bow down to the emperor.

and how can they be presumptuous?

"I didn't know before, it turns out that you officials only need to be able to take care of everything, and other things are done by others for you, no wonder there are so many officials in the world, it turns out that it is because there is less work and more food for nothing, which is really a waste of the people's grain tax.

The grain tax that the people have worked hard to pay for a year.

I'll feed you all these things.

Dai Quan remembered that this year's official assessment will be carried out, and the standard will be changed, no longer taking local political performance as the only criterion for evaluation, and adding the actual ability assessment of officials, if the officials of the Ministry of Industry do not understand any craftsman knowledge, and the officials of the household department do not understand any arithmetic.

Or if you don't know enough.

So what do you want them to do?

This year's assessment requirements are all based on the standards I just said, and if there are those who fail the assessment, all of them will be thoroughly investigated by me to see how his official came about. ”

Tu Minghui, who has experienced the hardships of the people, at least Tu Minghui, who has experienced the hardships of ploughing the fields, already knows that standing with the people can also understand the hardships of the farmers.

Although the real ordinary people can't afford to use his tools at all, they will only work harder than him.

But he's also an emperor.

Can't be too demanding.

At the same time, many of the officials present turned pale, and a few even looked at Li Shangshu with resentment, feeling that if it weren't for Li Shangshu's blindness.

Honestly obey the emperor.

How could there be such a disaster today?

These of them, who have been officials for decades, have all used their wisdom and talents to form parties for personal gain, factional struggles, and they don't even read much on weekdays, not to mention what professional skills, to put it mildly, the household department is still in charge of the household department, and their arithmetic ability is really not good.

It's all up to the young officials under him.

He's just doing the final planning and summarizing.

How much real expertise is there?

The things I worked so hard to grow were promoted to a group of people who didn't know anything, and they all dirty my seeds.

- Tu Minghui
