After all, they still had to work in the afternoon, so the two of them didn't drink. They always drank tea instead of wine.

The fact that he has always been in his position makes Mu Jiuge feel a little unnatural. He is not a child. Do he still need to teach him how to behave in the world?

But since Yu Shinan said this, he could only nod in agreement. After all, he was caring about himself, not preaching to himself.

"Haha, with my little brother's abilities, these things I mentioned probably won't happen to you. You're old and you've been nagging a few words, so don't take it personally, little brother!"

As if he noticed the unnatural look on his little brother's cheek, Yu Shinan suddenly realized and hurriedly explained.

"Brother is joking. These are the experiences I have accumulated from being an official for many years. Now they are taught to me for free. I am really grateful. How dare I blame you?"

Mu Jiuge waved his hands repeatedly. Although he didn't like hearing these things, he wouldn't refute anything.

After all, Yu Shinan's relationship with him is different from that of Lao Li and others.

"Little brother, do you know what happened when I went to the Chancellor's Desk today?"

It was definitely not Yu Shinan's intention to keep speaking so politely in his own home.

He simply changed the topic. After all, this guy was working at the Chancellor's desk at the time.

"Brother, you think too highly of me. I'm not a god, so I can't possibly know the purpose of your visit this time."

"However, I still know a little bit about the responsibilities of the Shangshutai. They are nothing more than uploading and issuing matters, which will eventually be transferred from the central department to other departments."

The other party's words aroused Mu Jiuge's interest. He must be working here at this time, and perhaps he will eventually be responsible for this matter.

"Little brother, what you said is true. That's what I mean. There is one thing that I can't make up my mind about. So I came here this time just to pass on my thoughts and let the Prime Minister make an idea. If it doesn't work, in the end I will just

I can enter the palace to meet the saint."

Naturally, he took the initiative to talk about this matter, and had no intention of hiding it from his little brother. Although he didn't expect him to help him in any way, at least someone could help him share his worries.

"Brother, it's better not to tell me about such an important matter, lest some difficult secrets be leaked out."

The Lao Fang and Lao Li he mentioned were both his brothers, but only he knew about this kind of thing.

Due to his official position at this time, there are some things that he cannot touch at all, so in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, it is better not to take the initiative to provoke them.

"Little brother, you are worrying too much. If it is a secret, why should I come here? Wouldn't it be safer to go directly to see the saint?"

Yu Shinan naturally understood what the little brother was thinking, and quickly waved his hand to signal him not to think too much.

Since he can come over and hand over the matter to the Chancellor, it means that he is not afraid of other people knowing about it.

"In that case, the boy is all ears."

Hearing his words, Mu Jiuge was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was indeed the truth, but he was too cautious.

"Don't be so serious. In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just a follow-up to this imperial examination."

"This year's scientific examination, there are tens of thousands of candidates gathered in Chang'an City, but how many can actually be hired by the imperial court, and how many can be on the list?"

"As for those candidates who failed, can we say that their abilities are not as good as those who were successful?"

"I have always believed that among these students who failed the exam, there must be some who are capable. However, if you fail this time, if you want to take the exam again, you will have to wait at least until next year."

"So, in recent times, we have been discussing how to retain the candidates with outstanding abilities among those who failed. However, until now, we have not been able to come up with a unified method."

These big guys are always paying attention to the trends of the imperial court, and all their thoughts are to better develop the Tang Dynasty.

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was now the time to hire people, not to mention that there was already a serious vacancy problem in the court.

As for the students who were able to travel thousands of miles to Chang'an to take the scientific examination, many of them were from poor families. This time, a family, or even several families, gritted their teeth to pay for the expense.

Failure to pass the exam is a serious blow to such a poor student. It is hard to say whether he will be qualified to come again next year.

Once these failed students begin to return home, the losses to the imperial court will undoubtedly be huge.

"Brother, I vaguely understand what you mean. The imperial court does not intend to give up on these failed candidates. Of course, strictly speaking, some promising talents can still be screened out among these candidates, and the imperial court wants to cultivate them."

"It's just that until now, the higher authorities have been unable to reach a stable solution, so now, you can only watch the students return home without any way to stop them."

"Although there are many students coming to take the scientific examination this year, who can guarantee how many students will come eagerly and come back disappointed next year?"

After Mu Jiuge nodded slightly, he began to analyze it. In fact, for him, this kind of thing was really not a big deal.

"Yes, that's what it means. Nowadays, in both the government and the public, the ministers express their opinions, and everyone has different ideas."

"I have always believed that students who failed the exam must have some opportunities. On the contrary, I have always had certain thoughts about those students who failed the exam and still have certain abilities and talents."

"A scientific examination cannot explain anything. Many students obviously have great talents, but their performance in the scientific examination is not satisfactory. Shouldn't we beat them to death with a stick?"

"So I have been suggesting that the court should introduce a measure to retain more talents for the court."

When Yu Shinan said this, he felt a little excited. Of course, he did not hide it from Mu Jiuge. This was what he really thought in his heart.

There are also many ministers in the imperial court who believe that those students who failed the exam, no matter what the objective reasons are, since they failed the exam, it means that their own abilities are still lacking.

Failure is not a blow to the students, but a kind of training to train them to persevere and overcome difficulties.

"Brother, to be honest, I also hope that the imperial court can give these students a chance."

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were talent vacancies in various departments in the court. Throughout ancient and modern times, the imperial courts of all dynasties had their own characteristic official system, a system that specialized in cultivating and reserving talents."

"No matter which department has an accident, there will immediately be a backup official to take over, so that the department can operate normally without any mistakes."

"And in our Tang Dynasty, there is no such place at all now, and the number of officials within the imperial court is far from enough."

The fact that Yu Shinan had such an idea showed that he had a long-term vision and worked hard to strengthen the Tang Dynasty.
