Soon, Liu Tai read all the twenty-five policy theories, and selected five of them according to his own ideas, and some attendants began to read out the rankings, while the students present were also looking forward to waiting for the final results.

This time it started from the first place, "Yijia, champion Xingyang Zheng Luo, Bangyan Luoyang Hu Xun, Taiyuan Wang Shu, Tanhua Henan Chu Li, Yingchuan Xunzhi." Second Class, Jinshi and ......"

Everyone listened to their rankings and the names they had registered, and their hearts were extremely excited.

As the rankings settled one by one, the stone hanging in my heart finally landed.

Liu Tai said: "You are all the pillars of my Han Dynasty in the future, today's ranking has been completed, and you will rest in the palace for one night, tomorrow you will ride around the city, so that everyone in the world knows that you are the first class in the world, and then hold a banquet in Qionglin Yuan, I wish you all victory in the imperial examination!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" "King Shehan's Grace!" "King Xie Han!" ……

The various voices have not been rehearsed at all, so the shouts are completely different.

But with the words of these people, they naturally thanked Liu Tai for the kindness he gave them.

Liu Tai waved his hand, and the chamberlain led them out of the main hall and brought them to the palace to arrange a place for them to rest.

After all, all of them are in the palace, and it is natural and convenient to arrange them for riding around the streets, otherwise they may lose a few if they gather alone, so it is better for everyone to arrange them uniformly.

As these students left, Chu Yu asked Liu Tai, "Wang, these moves have been selected, what should be arranged next?!" ”

Following Chu Yu's words, several ministers under Liu Tai showed fierce eyes one by one, as if they were ready to go into battle shirtless at any time.

This is an important time to rob talents, even if Cao Wei, who has been doing civil engineering, runs back, not to mention others.

Liu Tai looked at the appearance of everyone and said to Chu Biao: "These scholars are talents, so they need to look at the bottom."

Among them, those who were born in the same jinshi were responsible for writing county chronicles, or arranging for them to go to relatively remote places where no one went for the county order or county cheng.

Of course, they also have to write county records, otherwise they may not have enough knowledge of the grassroots.

Then the one hundred and twenty-one people who were born from the Jinshi and the Jinshi were divided into groups and asked them to inspect the world.

These people have just become officials, and their morale is high, and they are not used to seeing flies and dogs, so they just use their arrogance to inspect officials.

I believe that these people are the best people in the world, but they do not understand the situation at the bottom, and even the most first-class people may not be able to fully understand the rules of operation of the Han Dynasty.

Wait until they have worked at the grassroots level for a few years or inspected the entire Han Dynasty to settle down, and then bring them to their side to cultivate.

In the end, we are now focusing on the military, supplemented by governing the world, they are only for the national reserve, and it doesn't matter if they grind it,"

When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they didn't say anything more.

Although these moves are from the lowest rank of the ninth rank or even from the status of the ninth grade, if there are people above, it is still very quick to promote them.

And since Liu Tai proposed to grind these moves, everyone naturally did not have any objection.

The people you like can promise first, and when they finish patrolling the world in the future, they will be transferred away immediately.

There is no way, the imperial examination system was gradually developed and perfected in the Tang Dynasty, but there were very few scholars in the entire Tang Dynasty who really got up from the bottom.

The juzi are basically from a family and a poor family, so Liu Tai's understanding of his own imperial examination is also the same.

Before his death, Liu Tai didn't think that there would be any civilian talents, and it would be very good to be able to produce a few people at the rank of sergeant from military history.

Therefore, Liu Tai is the group of people who have just obtained the official body as a river pawn, although the identity is small, but the power is great.

The vast majority of Fan Jinshi are people with status and status in the place, don't look at them trembling when facing Liu Tai, the strength of the individual is not worth mentioning, but when this group of people gathers together, the power behind them Even Liu Tai must be cautious and cautious.

Especially in the local forces, although Liu Tai can suppress them now, but after his death, maybe new forces will emerge.

Such an inspection team composed of the whole family behind it is not invincible at the grassroots level, but it is definitely a very terrifying force, which is enough to sweep away the vast majority of grassroots bureaucrats and even the powerful families.

And it can be a convention to let their group of guys be in charge of patrolling.

Of course, it would be great for the ruler if there were so powerful and lawless people that even the patrol team was assassinated.

Liu Tai said that he would set an example for future generations, all the officials of that county were dismissed, all the big families were raided, all the land was nationalized, and even the ant nests in the county had to be poured with hot water and silver to bury them tightly.

When a county's organizational system is vacated, how many manpower can be arranged, how much land can be divided, and how many contradictions can be alleviated.

Sometimes, for the rulers, it is reasonable to break out some contradictions in advance to divide the interests of the officials, which can actually alleviate the decline of the dynasty, a typical example of which is the suppression of the peasant uprising that swept the country.

As long as the imperial court can successfully suppress the peasant uprising that swept the whole country, theoretically it can greatly alleviate the class contradictions and make a dynasty last for a long time.

Of course, it is rare in Chinese history that the Han Dynasty suppressed the peasant uprising that swept the whole country, and as a result, the border troops entered Beijing, causing the country to split, and then fell directly into the abyss at an irreversible speed.

Liu Tai said this, as if he remembered something, and continued to speak:

"By the way, in addition, give them half a year to visit their relatives, as long as they go to the designated place within half a year, as for whether to bring their relatives or not, it is up to them.

However, it is necessary to notify the local county order to take care of the relatives who stay behind to a certain extent, so as to show the atmosphere of persuasion! ”

When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they also saluted, indicating that they knew.

After a day's rest, these scholars were also in good spirits.

Soon, an attendant brought these scholars the prince's clothes in vermilion brocade robes, and asked them to change their clothes and feel the treatment of the minister.

Now they can only wear it for one day, and the purpose is naturally to encourage them, hoping that they can work together and become the pillars of the court.

The clothes were just the beginning, and they soon saw the docile but elite war horses that Liu Tai had prepared for them.

At the same time, when they rode through the streets, there were Hu Ben personally to maintain order, Xi Jian to personally guide, Liu Ming to escort the army, the princes in front of them to drive the road, and the inner servants were responsible for sweeping the dust.

And they rode on horses with their heads held high, so that the whole Yecheng knew that they had passed the imperial examination.

As they walked down in circles, the entire Yecheng people saw their honor, and remembered all the glory of this day in their hearts.

After walking around Yecheng and enjoying Yecheng's envious gaze, they returned to Qionglin Garden, still excited.

At this time, the seats in Qionglin Yuan had been arranged according to their ranks, and everyone found their own seats and sat in.

At this time, Liu Tai raised his glass and said, "This Qionglin banquet is by Gu Jingyou, I hope you will do your duty in logistics, serve the people and the country, and live up to today's purple robe talent!" Drink! As he spoke, he drank it all.

These gentlemen, however, also began to pick up their wine glasses, toast Liu Tai, and drank them in one gulp!

Soon, Liu Tai prepared talent shows such as singing and dancing, opera, music, etc., so that these scholars could enjoy the ceremonial music and the delicacies they enjoyed at the same time, all of which enjoyed their own glorious moments.

However, Liu Tai quickly resigned and did not continue to occupy his position here, which made these scholars feel restrained.

With Liu Tai leaving, the scholars quickly let go, especially looking at the few people around them, they immediately formed their own small circle, which was really a good conversation.

And Liu Tai returned to the government affairs hall and handled some government affairs that were slightly backlogged today.

But at this time, Wang Sang quickly sent an urgent report, of course, there were only four words before and after, "Zu Li is dead!" ”

When Liu Tai saw this letter, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and immediately opened it to look at it in detail, and suddenly understood a little in his heart, why would someone like Dai Yuan come over to replace Zu Ti's position, and now Liu Tai finally understands.

It turned out that it was because Zu Ti was sick, so he asked Dai Yuan to come over and take over the soldiers in Zu Ti's hands and arrange a line of defense against himself!

Liu Tai took a deep breath and immediately summoned Chu Yu, Xi Jian, Cao Wei, Zhang Song, Wen Qiao, Liu Ming and others to the Internal Affairs Hall.

Then Liu Tai took out this letter and said to everyone, "Everyone! ”

To be honest, everyone was also anxious, especially Xi Jian, who was still eating wine with the students, so he was called over.

And after reading this information, everyone also changed color, and Liu Ming said decisively at this time:

"King, this is heaven's help, Zu Ti is dead, the dragons in Yuzhou have no leader, it is a good time to march south!"

"No!" Cao Wei was the first to stand up and said, "The Yongji Canal project can be successfully completed in only half a year, and now giving up the Yongji Canal and fighting south of the Yellow River will not only waste manpower, but also lead to turmoil among the people under our command, which is definitely not taken by the wise!" ”

Wen Qiao also stood up and said, "What Cao Changshi said is very true, Dai Yuan came over to take over Zu Li's subordinates this year, and he obviously came prepared.

Therefore, even though Zu Ti is dead, the military system on the other side is not chaotic, and if he attacks in a hurry, it will drag down our plan! ”

Liu Tai couldn't help but think about it when he heard the words of the two parties.

To be honest, Liu Tai had thought carefully about this matter before they came, and understood that Zu Ti's death was too inopportune!

If he died earlier, he would not have built any Yongji Canal, and would have directly waved his army south, maybe he would have taken it south of the Yellow River, or Zu Ti would have died a little later, and when his Yongji Canal was completed, he didn't care if he died or not.

Now that Zu Ti is dead, looking at the unstable establishment on the other side, the soldiers don't know the generals, the generals don't know the soldiers, and they have to fight no matter what.

But now, if he raises troops, not to mention that Yongji Canal will be stopped, more importantly, like one of his main forces, Zhao An's army is still in Youzhou, but it is not easy to dispatch it by himself.

Liu Tai took a deep breath and said in everyone's apprehension:

"Let's concentrate on building the Yongji Canal first, and when the New Year is over, we need our servants to work overtime!"

"Please rest assured, before July this year, I will definitely complete the canal work of Yongji Canal!" Cao Wei assured Liu Tai.

Liu Tai nodded, put his eyes on Zhang Song's face and said:

"Lijun, you come to draw up a plan, and let the people along the coast use dried fish instead of paying taxes.

Whether we fight or not, at least after the opening of the voyage, we need to make a good reserve for war! ”

"Order!" Zhang Song immediately replied when he heard Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai set his eyes on Chu Yu and said, "Mouyuan, the new meritorious lord system needs to be taken out as soon as possible, not too complicated, and even someone needs to explain the meaning of the above."

Be simple and clear, so that every soldier knows how to receive meritorious service when he goes to the battlefield. ”

"Obey!" Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words and answered them all.

Liu Tai looked around and said, "Everyone, we will not march south until the Yongji Canal is built, but when the Yongji Canal is repaired, or even after the autumn harvest next year, we will tentatively launch an attack on the Jin Court."

If we lose our ancestors, and the defense system of the Jin court is full of holes, then we should not easily let go of the opportunity given by God.

Therefore, in addition to the resources needed to build the Yongji Canal, our army's resources began to be gradually dispatched to the front line, especially to Mount Tai! ”

"The king is ready to do it from Mount Tai?!" When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they couldn't help but react.

"When the Yongji Canal is completed, I will go to Mount Tai, we are too far away from the Jin court, and we are a whole Yellow River.

But if it is in Mount Tai, even if the news of the Jin court in Yanzhou is blocked, Gou Xi is not in Xuzhou.

We've been infiltrating there for so long, and the news we found out is definitely faster than in Yecheng! ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone looked at each other, looking at Liu Tai's appearance, as if they were really preparing to start fighting next year.

Liu Tai said here, "By the way, if this is the case, then we can't make an appointment, but we need to build a beacon fire along the Yellow River, if I really find the right time, I will directly light the wolf smoke and let the two legions launch an attack south of the Yellow River with me!" ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone understood that Liu Tai really felt that after Zu Ti's death, the army had the opportunity to attack the Jin court, and now he really began to enter comprehensive preparations in terms of specific projects.

It's just that because the main energy is still on the construction of the Yongji Canal, I chose to wait a little longer.

And Liu Tai looked at the map at the moment but thoughtfully, with the opening of the Yongji Canal, the grain from the north can be smoothly transported to the south, so he will definitely exceed Jin Ting's estimate in terms of time.

Because whether it is Youzhou or Qingzhou, due to its own strong push, it is mainly wheat, and it can be harvested at the end of summer.

And crops such as millet sorghum with Jizhou as the core in autumn can also support their own war.

So now, when the Yongji Canal is successfully repaired and the Yongji Canal is repaired, then he can launch a tentative attack on the Jin Court in the summer, and see how much success Dai Yuan, the guy who replaced Zu Li, has finished.

There is another one after a little, so you don't have to wait.
