"Don't want to serve as an official?"

Guan Ning probably knew the reason. Before taking the throne, he had killed many learned people, which made these people resist him.

"Another reason is because of Lanzao Poetry Society."

Lu Zhaoling continued: "The Lanzai Poetry Society has a great reputation in the Imperial College. It is known as a model for literati and is admired by many students, so..."

"Worship Lanzao Poetry Society?"

Guan Ningyou shook his head and said: "Those people were taken away. After interrogation, it was found that they secretly received a huge amount of money from the Prince He's Mansion. In other words, they were not trying to express their views or uphold justice. They were essentially doing it for profit."

."

He somewhat understood that this was the so-called literati spirit.

The character that Lanzao Poetry Club has always created is that as a scholar, you should dare to speak out and uphold justice, so you are admired by those scholars.

Of course, the other reason is his attitude towards the aristocratic family. This may be a silent protest.

What has to be admitted is that most intellectuals are controlled by aristocratic families, and they have a monopoly on knowledge. This is why it can always be passed down.

Regardless of any dynasty, it needs to govern the country, so they are used.

Take Guan Ning for example, most of the civil servants he appointed were officials from the previous dynasty.

The emergence of the imperial examination system did give children from poor families a chance to get ahead. However, after passing the imperial examination, if children from poor families want to develop in their official career, they still need to worship the mountain and eventually become members of that aristocratic family.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon.

This is a very real problem, and it is also the direction that Guan Ning wants to reform after the Economics.

Thoughts flashed through.

Guan Ning asked again: "Are they still writing comments criticizing me recently?"

"That's not true."

The Minister of Rites responded, but he was thinking in his heart, who dares to criticize?

"What happened to the people in Lanzao Poetry Club? Are they still closed?"

"Close it."

"Let's deal with it."

Guan Ning said: "It's time to make room in the prison cell. People like Gao Lian, Duan Ang and others have been executed. If we keep delaying and ignoring them, it's easy for those people to have ideas."

"Gong Liangyu, if you come to supervise this matter, we will execute them all tomorrow."

"yes."

Gong Liangyu stood up and responded.

"Your Majesty, you are not planning to use the Imperial College. This is not..."

Lu Zhaoling stood up hurriedly. This would not obviously intensify the conflict, and those people would not support the new dynasty and become an official.

"Anyone can change Dakang's life, but I still don't believe that no one wants to be this official!"

Guan Ning said: "Whether it's a commoner or a noble, the purpose of studying hard for ten years is not to become an official? How many of them are really doing it to realize their ambitions?"

The hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit. Why do scholars fail to pass the examination and continue to take the exam?

What you are doing is not fame and fortune?

"Lord Lu, you first make a list of the vacancies of officials in each region and post them. Anyone who is a member of the previous dynasty can sign up on their own."

"this……"

Lu Zhaoling said: "Our Ministry of Civil Affairs has already made a list of the officials that are lacking in the local area, but I'm afraid it won't be very effective. This is the first recruitment of officials in the new dynasty. If no one cares about it, wouldn't it be..."

What he said was not very direct, but everyone understood what he meant.

Before Guan Ning came to the throne, he killed several Hanlin Academy scholars and those who read poetry and books. At that time, Gong Liangyu warned that if he did this, it would probably kill the seeds of scholars.

This is not false. Although I dare not criticize it outright, there is still some resistance.

If no one applies, wouldn't it embarrass the new dynasty and make the new emperor lose face?

Those who pass the provincial examination are called juren. Juren are qualified to be officials, but they may not be able to become officials. They need to wait for the opportunity.

For example, if the county magistrate of any county dies or there is a vacancy due to other circumstances, then there may be a chance to become an official.

But such opportunities are rare, because there are many Jinshi who are also waiting for such opportunities, so it is basically impossible for people to become officials.

Lu Zhaoling continued: "I am afraid that the talents and learning of Juren will not be qualified for such an official position. There has never been such a precedent before."

"So I want to break the precedent!"

Guan Ning said: "Give these scholars a channel for advancement. As long as they are promoted, they can become officials, and they will be directly naturalized officials. An assessment system will also be formulated. As long as they make tangible political achievements, they will be promoted.

Opportunity, from county to prefecture, from prefecture to prefecture..."

Guan Ning said his thoughts.

Your Imperial College students are all putting on airs here just because of their status, family background, talents, etc. Then I don’t need you.

There are many candidates who failed to pass the Jinshi examination, and there are many in the capital. They are waiting for vacancies wherever they can, so that they can grasp the information as soon as possible and become officials.

I don’t believe that they won’t be tempted. If you want scholars to resist, then I’ll give you a name and a profit. I’ll see if you’re still tempted. I’ll let you know what the Law of True Fragrance is.

Lu Zhaoling was taking notes quickly. He knew that this was the time when the new emperor was about to start reforming the administration of officials.

"The assessment system must be implemented not only in local areas, but also in the capital. Its core principle is to set limits and assess people based on their tasks."

Guan Ning continued: "In addition, the salary of officials will be increased compared to before. The cost of medical treatment for officials when they are sick will be funded by the court, and a pension will be established for each naturalized official!"

"pension?"

Hearing this, other people also showed interest, because it was closely related to them.

Who doesn’t want their salary to be higher?

"Pension is to ensure your basic living needs after you become an official in old age. It is paid by the court on a monthly basis. It is divided into different levels according to the official grade and on-the-job merit and contribution..."

Guan Ning explained it in detail to several people, and they quickly understood it.

"This is good!"

Lu Zhaoling said: "From the actual situation, it can effectively solve the problem of corrupt officials."

Everyone nodded.

The salary of Dakang officials is very low, and many low-level officials have difficulty making a living on official salary. The annual salary of a seventh-grade official is only 90 shi meters, about 6,000 kilograms, equivalent to 45 taels of silver.

What's even more frightening is that nearly half of the rice is unreachable and has been openly converted into other items by the emperor, such as cotton, silk cloth and other scattered items.

Xue Huairen was a minister, and his salary was one thousand and forty-four dan, which sounds like a lot, but he had a huge family and couldn't maintain it at all, so he once married into a wealthy businessman family.

So just looking at the salary, they may really starve to death. They have to consider waiting until they become official. What will they do if they don't have the salary?

So I can only be greedy.

Raising salaries and solving the problem of old-age care will eliminate worries.

"Okay, this is good."

Xue Huairen also sighed: "Your Majesty's move is truly a righteous move and will definitely be supported by officials."

Lu Zhaoling echoed: "Corrupt officials have been repeatedly banned. It is better to remove them than to block them. We still need to solve the problem from the root. How can we talk about governing the country if we can't even eat?"

Everyone was amazed.
