Discover talent
It's spring soon, let's do things one by one.
For the world's scholars, the Tang Dynasty's spring is actually not a big deal, because the previous imperial examinations have been controlled by the big families, ordinary people may be able to get famous, but it is useless, since the end of Xuanzong, the scholars of the Han clan rarely appear in the court, and even some down-and-out meritorious children have been excluded from the circle.
Therefore, many talented scholars simply defected to the feudal town.
The feudal towns are getting stronger and stronger, and the Tang Tingting is getting weaker and weaker, just like inbreeding.
Some people doubt, and some people agree, after all, this year is the festival that makes the staff pit around him full.
There are also many people who come to Chang'an to try their luck.
Li Ye tried his best to disagree with the public, and the first round of questions was personally presented by Li Ye, which was about the same as the primary school level, plus some basic statistics.
The topic of the policy theory, modeled after the civil service examination of later generations, came with a hodgepodge, law, Confucian classics, poetry, and brain teasers, and finally Li Ye's focus, governing the country.
All exams are completed within two hours.
Now the situation of the Tang Dynasty can't afford to play any other tricks, everything is based on reality, called the imperial examination, but in fact, it is to seek advice from scholars.
Scholars of any era are very interested in state affairs and can talk endlessly for three or five days.
Although the end of the Tang Dynasty was a chaotic era of killing, it was not like the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and he could say whatever he wanted, as long as he did not violate the taboos of the Tang Dynasty, there were basically no restrictions.
For this imperial examination, Li Ye even dispatched the Praetorian Guards to maintain order.
The head of the test theory is broken, and the door of the test is numerous.
Li Ye is also helpless about this phenomenon, after all, thousands of years of cultural inertia are there, and to change all this, it can only be cultivated from the military camp.
After two hours of imperial examination, the scholars happily walked out of the examination room.
Everyone thinks they did well.
Li Ye, who has experienced the devastation of countless exams in later generations, of course knows that the more broad the topic, the more it tests people's talents.
It seems that there is no threshold, but in fact the threshold is very high.
The policy of governing the country is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will go wrong.
300 test papers, Li Baichuan, Han Hao, and Zhao Chongning each have 100 copies, which are directly reviewed.
The previous topic is not important, the important thing is the last article.
The three people present were all really talented and learned, and in one morning, they selected six articles.
Li Ye looked at them one by one, and the test papers were all transcribed and obscured, which eliminated the possibility of favoritism and fraud by the examiner.
These six articles can be selected, of course, there is something unique about it.
None of them are long-winded, they are all picking a certain aspect to write deeply, the vision is quite unique, six articles, summed up is six opinions: the compilation of households, the recasting of coins, and the traditional persuasion of farmers to appease the homeless, the distribution of land, the encouragement of marriage, and the most peculiar article also has a detailed discussion of the imperial court should strictly control the population of monks, and at the same time, the land of monks should be taxed with grain.
Not to mention that these traditional literati, although they are not as whimsical as Li Ye in governing the country, they are quite practical and disadvantageous.
Take coins as an example, the money circulating in the market is privately minted and low-quality money, made of lead, tin and green clay, and the purchasing power is constantly declining, and the people are not stupid, and would rather ask for silk, salt, grain, iron and other physical goods than accept these inferior money. When the political situation in the Tang Dynasty was clear, it also spent great efforts to crack down on these people who minted private money.
But as long as there are enough benefits, there are people who are willing to take the risk of killing their heads.
By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself, his private money was large, and the economy completely collapsed.
It is imperative to mint money, but not now, but this person's vision is first-class, and he is a talent that is extremely lacking in the imperial court.
Now the most important thing is to organize the people together, and how much power the court has is all on this. Since the Huangchao Rebellion, there was a Zhu Mei Rebellion in Guanzhong, and then Li Maozhen and Wang Jian made trouble in Guanzhong, and the original household registration has long been invalid, and the people are imminent.
Overall, these six people are absolutely qualified, although some of them don't write very well, and their sentences are not very smooth, and they can't manage so much.
This kind of Enke is mainly to solve the urgent need, and Li Ye is also a layman, so he doesn't have any champion to explore the flowers, everything is simple.
Otherwise, the opinions of the readers will come again.
It's just that in private, the names of the editors are set first, the reminted coins are listed as the second, and the rest are ranked one by one.
As for the others, Li Ye picked some to read, there were no punctuation articles, and it was extremely laborious to watch, but he still persevered.
As long as it is not a big talk, Li Ye will stay behind everything that proceeds from reality.
In these years, those who can know words and have bright heads are talents that can be cultivated.
Li Ye is hungry now.
Scratching off the list, the first place is actually Cui Yuanzhao.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, his original intention was to promote the children of the poor family, but he didn't expect to get a child of a family in the end.
Han Wei and Zhao Chongning glanced at each other.
Li Juchuan said: "Since he is a useful person, why does Your Majesty care about his background?" ”
Although Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao slashed the family gatekeeper, they were not hacked to death after all, and in the end it was Zhu Wenbu's knife.
Li Ye was in a very conflicted mood, Cui Yuanzhao was able to write such an article, which just pointed to the key to the current Tang Ting, after listening to Li Juchuan's words, Li Ye also felt funny, with his current reputation in Guanzhong, what family gate valve are you afraid of? The family gate valve begged him to be, without Tang Ting, which tree could these extremely weak vines find to climb?
Zhu Wen himself is a remnant of Huangchao, and he hates these people to the core, and he just wants to use them.
Li Ke used his Shatuo military nobles to let the family gate lord share a bowl of soup?
The name of the person who proposed to remint the coins was Song Huaishu, and the name was like a Jianghuai person, and Li Ye suddenly saw a scholar on the streets of Chang'an some time ago, and he also said that he was from Jianghuai.
Although there are few people, there are only eleven people.
But in today's troubled times, those who can still practice arithmetic are definitely true love.
Eleven test papers Li Ye personally reviewed, and all eleven people got full marks, it seems that he underestimated the level of mathematics in this era.
I vaguely remember that "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" seems to have appeared in the Han Dynasty, the Pythagorean theorem, positive and negative numbers, fractions, and equations are all there.
There is also the great bull ancestor Chongzhi in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, who can revise the calendar according to the stars, and the most bullish is his pi, which seems to have been surpassed by the Arabs in the sixteenth century.
It is a pity that the ancient literati were keen on the imperial examination as officials, and few people could study academics quietly, otherwise a Pythagorean theorem would be the pinnacle of the entire ancient mathematics.
Li Ye has always believed that mathematics is the starting point of all science.
As a result of this Enke, a total of 42 people were admitted, and all 11 people were admitted.
Only one day later, the results were announced, a few were happy and a few were sad, some cried bitterly, some laughed, and some scolded the examiner for favoritism, but in front of the angry Praetorian Guard, the voice gradually became quieter.
In fact, most of the essays that came to take the exam were well written, talked about and pointed out, and they were catchy to read.
But what Li Ye wants now is not this, but something real.
Even if it was just a suggestion to build a public toilet, Li Ye also hired.
Among the thirty-one people in the strategy, in addition to Cui Yuanzhao, there are thirteen people who are children of families in Chang'an City.
This is also normal, in today's world, there are only a few who have the ability and can study with peace of mind.
It would be good to have seventeen children from poor families defect to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye can also be regarded as a good use of people, so Cui Yuanzhao followed Zhao Chongning to organize Qi Min, Song Huaishu followed Han Quanhui to make money, and the others were all sent to the auxiliary army for training, and they were transformed from mind to body.
The eleven people of Ming Calculation all entered the martial arts camp and served as arithmetic teachers, Li Ye treated them very favorably, seven buckets of food per month, food and shelter, and only needed to lecture for two hours a day, and the rest of the time was at their own convenience.
Originally, Li Ye was going to come up with a set of elementary school mathematics tutorials, but with "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in front of him, Li Ye was embarrassed to be ugly.
The next three days were martial arts.
However, Li Ye was disappointed, less than the imperial examination, less than two hundred.
In the era of the rise of martial artists, well-known fierce generals are basically famous, but those who have some martial arts and courage have basically joined the army, after all, Tang Ting is not the only choice, let alone the best choice.
Even the children of Guanzhong also invested in the Tang Army in the previous army expansions.
There are more than 200 people, most of whom are displaced people from Hezhong and Shannan West Road.
Mounted archery, foot shooting, carbines, weights, wrestling, and more.
Li Ye is a layman and can't see the doorway, so he is examined by Gao Xingzhou.
Some candidates are much older than Gao Xingzhou, and the martial artists have a big temper, so some people actually want to find Gao Xingzhou to fight alone.
Li Ye suddenly became interested, Gao Xingzhou has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, although he is not a super-first-class general, but he is also one of the best in Guanzhong.
The person who fights alone is a year or two older than Gao Xingzhou, tall and big, with a black and red complexion, and he doesn't look like a Middle-earther, but he also uses a big gun to fight with Gao Xingzhou.
The more Li Ye looked at it, the more pleasantly surprised he became, Gao Xingzhou was almost the ceiling of personal force in the Tang Army, and this person was actually equal.
Two spears, one is rigid and soft, the pear blossoms are dancing, like a dragon, and the other is wide open and closed, the wind is howling, and the edge is like snow.
Attracted other candidates to watch.
Most of the martial artists admired the strong, and at the beginning, some people despised Gao Xingzhou because of his youth, but now that he has shown his ability, no one dares to say anything more.
But now Li Ye's eyesight has also been trained, on the surface, the two are equal, but in fact, Gao Xingzhou still has the upper hand, the whole person looks calm, and his marksmanship is not chaotic at all, but the black-faced man, his steps are gradually floating, and his face is full of sweat.
After about a cup of tea, the black and red face swung the spear around the high line and surrendered the defeat.
Gao Xingzhou was wild and brave on the battlefield, but he was humble and polite on other occasions, and he also returned the salute: "Dare to ask the name of the strong man." “
"Xiaomin folds the heir ceremony, there are many offenses, please forgive me."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then rushed into the venue, "Are you a member of the Fuzhou family?" “
Those who have seen the Yang family generals should know about the Zhejia Army.
At first, the Zhe family was also a branch of the party members, but they have always been loyal to the Central Plains court, and in later generations, they fought a bloody battle against the Western Xia for the Great Song Dynasty, resisting the Liao, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.
Later, the Western Xia captured Fuzhou and razed all the ancestral tombs of the Zhe family to vent their hatred.
Fuzhou is now under the command of the Zhenwu Army, and the Zhenwu Army is Li Keyong's territory.
Obviously, this folding ceremony is the temptation of the folding family to the Tang court.
"Fuzhou folds the heir salute and greets Your Majesty." He put down his spear and bowed respectfully to Li Ye.
Li Ye just hurriedly helped him up, "No courtesy, no courtesy, I didn't think that the Northwest Fold family also has such a hero." “
Zhen Heili looked ashamed, "The little folk skills are not as good as others, I am really ashamed." “
Li Ye laughed and said: "General Gao, Hebei Jiangmen, there are not many people in the world who can defeat him, and the strong man can fight with him, which is already quite good." “
"But the white horse silver spear Gao Sijigao's family?" Ori was surprised.
"It's his father!"
Fold the heir and then salute Gao Xingzhou, "It turned out to be a little general." “
Gao Xingzhou returned the courtesy.
Everyone present has seen the martial arts of folding the heir ceremony, and the champion of the martial arts is well deserved, Li Ye made a big fanfare to beat his champion, and under the champion, other people are really not enough to see, and there are some Wu Chang and even the long material, Li Ye simply filled them all into the newly formed Xiao Cavalry Capital, and took the Folding Heir Ceremony as the cavalry general, and Yeli Jingrong and Han Xun were at the same level.
Overall, Enko still gained a lot this time and didn't disappoint him too much.
It can also be regarded as playing the role of buying a horse's bones, declaring to the world that today's Tang Ting attaches great importance to talents.
The addition of the heir ceremony was a bonus.
Although the Tang Army system is gradually improving, and the military mechanism can train generals, the cycle is too long, and any group can only be healthier if fresh blood continues to flow in.
Enke has just ended, Li Sixiao couldn't stand the cold and froze, and traveled westward with a crane.
His family asked to be buried in his hometown in Xiazhou.
Li Ye was amused in his heart, Xiazhou didn't seem to be the hometown of their party members, right?
However, in view of the fact that Li Sixiao was quite obedient, at least he did not meet in Fangzhou, Li Ye also invited him to seal the county prince of Lexiang by the way, and ordered his son and nephew to be sent back to Xiazhou for burial.
Unexpectedly, only three days later, Xia Sui's party item came, Li Sigong also hung up, and his brother Li Sijian was elected as the queen and asked the court to canonize him.
