"Then according to Lord Xu's words, do you still want to approve the official position? Yesterday Jinghu, today Jiangnan, Shuzhong, tomorrow is not Kansai? The day after tomorrow is Lingnan? How can there be so many official positions? ”

Wu Min couldn't help it.

The faction of imperial examination officials is becoming more and more excessive, and the official positions of the imperial court are limited every year, and they are all given to imperial examination officials, what should they do with these gift officials?

They can't watch the imperial examination officials grow stronger, and then go against them and continue to reclaim the number of official positions that should have belonged to them.

"The imperial examination is a way for the imperial court to select talents, and now the selected talents cannot be reused, and there will be problems after a long time!"

Xu Churen did not panic at all, the rumors have spread, and now there are many dissatisfaction with the emperor in various places, and the autumn tax cannot be collected, all the emperor can do is to appease, and if he wants to appease, he must give an official position.

"Your Majesty, these people are using the topic to play and want to force the palace! This kind of person must not be spared! ”

Wu Min immediately spoke against it, he couldn't sit back and watch Xu Churen and his faction become a non-commissioned officer.

"Lord Wu, what are you talking about, this is the rule set by Taizu for the imperial examination, and those who can be admitted to the Jinshi are the best among the people, shouldn't the imperial court hire them!"

Now Liangshan Sun Lei is eyeing the tiger, his side is the imperial examination every year, I only enke once in the third year of the Song Dynasty, if you can't win the hearts of the readers, the thief will grow in an instant. ”

Xu Churen watched Wu Min and began to argue with reason.

"So many jinshi are not all talents, where do nerds know how to govern the country for officials? Over the years, the Jinshi had to go to the Hanlin Academy for a few years to see their ability and then be promoted and transferred. ”

"The number of court officials is limited, and using a large number of these officials who don't understand government affairs will only make the world chaotic!"

"As for the imperial examination of thieves, who will be able to go to that kind of thief's den? It's all anti-thieves! ”

Wu Min also retorted.

Dazai and Shaozai began to fight, and the officials behind him also stood by one after another.

"Alright, alright! Don't be noisy! ”

Zhao Huan patted the dragon chair irritably.

"Your Majesty, the grace should not be too much!"

An imperial historian opened his mouth and said, the official position of the imperial court is indeed a radish and a pit, and many official positions have been rewarded after the Jinghu Jinshi made a fuss last time, and now Jiangnan and Shuzhong are making trouble again, and they must not reward the official position again.

The two factions quarreled again, and the emperor was helpless, and the ministers of the court and the central government were almost arguing, and it was impossible for him to stop it.

"Li Gang, what plan do you have?"

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang, who was standing quietly and did not speak, Li Gang did not seem to be ready to participate in this argument.

"Your Majesty, the number of officials in my Great Song Dynasty is already enough, and any more grace will only increase the burden on the people."

Li Gang opened his mouth and said that there should be a process for the promotion of officials, and arbitrary sealing will only make the country more chaotic.

"Then how can the unrest in various places be quelled?"

Zhao Huan frowned and asked, he didn't want to keep sealing it like this, sealing the official was a trivial matter, and the rice and grain were a major matter, and he didn't want to spend it all after he finally got some money.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to reward them all, just select some really talented Jinshi from the local area as officials, these people can be regarded as Your Majesty's sympathy when they get official positions, and having these people is enough to calm local dissatisfaction!"

Li Gang said a compromise solution, although he didn't like his friends, but he still very much agreed with the imperial examination, after all, those who can become a scholar in the imperial examination by virtue of their ability are talented people.

Now although the court has eliminated the six thieves, it is still stubborn, and the officials above the court are still mainly traitors, and it is beneficial for the court to supplement some talented and ambitious new officials.

There is also what Xu Churen said just now, Liangshan is also holding imperial examinations, which is a great threat to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty established the country with literature, and a steady stream of talents is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

"That's a good word!"

Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with Li Gang's words, he didn't need to give too many official positions, and he could solve the trouble in front of him.

Wu Min and Xu Churen saw that the emperor had adopted Li Gang's suggestion, and they no longer spoke, which was a compromise solution, although there was still a distance from the demands of both sides, but they were both acceptable.

"Your Majesty, the first batch of grain bought back by Qin Hui has arrived in Tokyo, with a total of one million and six thousand stone of grain! The price is 1,500 wen a stone! ”

Hou Meng, the head of the household, said.

"Fifteen hundred wen a stone? So expensive? ”

Zhao Huan frowned when he heard this, this price had exceeded his expectations, and he thought that it would be only a thousand yuan and one stone.

"Your Majesty, Liangshan is an enemy after all, and it is not easy to buy grain from the enemy, but Liangshan is close to Tokyo, the waterway is smooth, the transportation is convenient, the loss is very small, and it is not too expensive!"

Someone immediately came out of class and said, Qin Hui went to Liangshan to buy grain this time, and many people have a share in the money here, so he naturally wants to help Qin Hui speak at this time.

"Your Majesty, there is another reason, the Liangshan thief Kou saw the money, we have more money in Tokyo, let's use the money to buy them food, enough food for the soldiers, when the time is ripe, our army will be killed, and the money is still ours!"

"It's like a fake way, and the money can't be eaten, it's just temporarily stored on the side of the Liangshan thieves! We call it food for the enemy. ”

Everyone saw that Zhao Huan's brows were still frowning, and he was quoting scriptures to persuade him.

"Forget it, one million stone of grain is only one and a half million! Let Qin Hui buy more, Tokyo needs a lot of food! ”

Zhao Huan's brows finally relaxed, and he also figured it out, at present, food is the most important, if it is more expensive, it will be more expensive, anyway, he just got a huge amount of money.

Hearing these words, the planter's face was cloudy, and he thought that grain was being transported from all over the country, but he didn't expect that the imperial court sent people to Liangshan to buy grain.

"Buying food from the enemy?"

The seed master Dao immediately felt that there was a conspiracy here, Sun Lei was not a fool, and Liangshan was by no means a grass nest that didn't know anything, how could he sell food to the enemy.

Li Gang's face also changed slightly, he didn't expect Qin Hui's trip to be so smooth, it was only a few days ago that more than one million stone of grain were transported back, and the shortage of grain in Tokyo was solved, although the price was a little expensive.

"What is Sun Lei doing?"

Li Gang was also full of doubts in his heart, he didn't have to think about it to know that this must be Sun Lei's plan, but he couldn't think of why Sun Lei did this, at this time, the grain road in Tokyo was cut off, and Tokyo would be a dead city in a few months.

"Now that everything is decided, I have decided to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens!"

Zhao Huan looked at the officials and said, he was ordered to be the emperor in danger, Zhao Ji threw a mess to him, and he hurriedly took the throne and everything was simple.

Now that the flood has receded, the enemy has receded, the food crisis has been resolved, and the traitors of the previous dynasty have been punished, it is time for him to declare his status to the world.

The officials all saluted and promised, and even the imperial historians had nothing to say, even if the big sacrifice cost a lot, they also admitted it.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, the main hall sacrifice is indispensable, especially if there is chaos today, it is more necessary for the emperor to come out to stabilize people's hearts. (End of chapter)
