Chapter 362 The Inspector

"Get up."

Liu Yizhen held the article "County, State, and Road Third-Level Imperial Examination Strategies" in his hands.

"You have to talk to me in detail about what's inside."

"Here!"

Chao Shang's spirit was greatly strengthened, and he naturally understood what the emperor meant.

"Your Majesty, in today's world, the wealthy families in various places collude with the government and bully the people in local areas. If you can use poor people as officials, at least..."

"They wouldn't go so far!"

The children of officials are still officials.

Children of the common people are still common people.

Not only is there no way to serve the country, but there is also no way to redress injustice.

This empire is in great need of new power to help the old body activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and clear every visible and invisible corner.

"It is certainly gratifying that the imperial court has taken back the appointment and dismissal of officials worth more than 600 shi, but it is the visible and invisible officials who are really in charge of the people!"

"Most of these officials are members of wealthy families. Naturally, they usually handle cases for those wealthy families. If things go on like this, the demands of the common people cannot be heard and the grievances of the common people cannot be aired. How can the common people be loyal to the imperial court?"

"That's why I proposed to set up imperial examinations in each state and county in the future, and attach importance to the county examination and the poor scholars who win the state examination!"

Chao Shangzhi's words were full of enthusiasm, but Liu Yizhen poured cold water on his face——

"I know everything you said."

"But I'm asking you."

"In this poor family, how many people are literate? How many are virtuous? How many people know the Dharma?"

Chao Shangzhi was suddenly speechless.

"I'll ask you again, you said Xingzhou, county imperial examination..."

"Do you think that in a state or a county, there are more scholars from wealthy families or from poor families?"

"And do you think that among these poor scholars, how many of them can be as talented as you, Chao Shangzhi, and can dominate and dominate all the aristocratic families?"

Chao Shangzhi opened his mouth. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute.

"Your Majesty, are you going to let it go?"

"Of course not."

Liu Yizhen shook his head: "Nowadays, the price of books is very cheap. You can exchange a few buckets of grain for a few volumes of classics. I also sent people to distribute the exam textbook "Six Subjects Lecture Notes" to various places. I don't have to worry about the scholars in Bianzhou reading it.

No serious knowledge, just..."

"They still lack time."

Chao Shangzhi understood what Liu Yizhen meant.

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"I don't want to keep you by my side."

Liu Yizhen's eyes were bright and sparkling as he looked at Chao Shangzhi.

"You are the first scholar. Your time should not be wasted on trivial matters in the court."

"I, I have more important things for you to do."

Chao Shangzhi took a deep breath and roughly understood what Liu Yizhen meant.

"Your Majesty wants me to... go to the states and counties to govern?"

"Um."

Liu Yizhen did not hide his thoughts: "The choice is yours. If you don't want to, I won't force you. After all, you still have your own talents. In addition, I will immediately make you a fourth-rank official and enter the Shangshu Province for training, but later

It's all up to you."

Liu Yizhen gave Chao Shangzhi two choices.

First, go outside to face higher winds and waves, and walk on a road that takes who knows how long.

Secondly, with the aura of being the number one scholar, like those children from aristocratic families, he was involved in this bloody court from a very high starting point.

Chao Shangzhi said without any hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go out to govern!"

Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and finally became a top scholar.

As long as he wants to, when he enters the officialdom, he will start at the level of direct clan members such as the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun.

As long as I keep working hard and without complaint in this life, and if I endure it for several decades, I may even hope to rush towards the position of a third-ranking official.

but……

This is not what Chao Shangzhi wants.

Many poor scholars hate aristocratic families simply because they themselves are not from aristocratic families.

And Chao Shangzhi doesn't want to be from a noble family, because he knows that as long as a noble family exists, there will always be children from poor families like him who will be bullied.

What he wants is to make all the poor people in the world happy, not to have another "Lu Junchao clan" in the world.

not to mention……

Chao Shangzhi looked up at the Emperor and thought slyly——

If you obey the emperor and do things, can the emperor still treat you badly?

"good!"

Liu Yizhen chose Chao Shangzhi, but at the same time he also hoped that Chao Shangzhi would choose him.

A twisted melon is not sweet.

If Chao Shangzhi didn't want to, and he kicked a poor student who had worked so hard to get up, he would be fine if people didn't resent him. How could he still do things for him?

Liu Yizhen had already thought about it. If Chao Shangzhi was willing, he would pave the way for him and let him be the sharpest knife in his hand.

If you don't want to, you will take up a leisurely official position and serve it like a mascot to set an example for the poor people in the world.

Now that Chao Shang is willing, it is naturally hello to you, me, and everyone.

"You should come to Liangyi Palace in the next few days. I have something to tell you in detail."

With just this sentence, Chao Shangzhi knew that he had made the right bet!

It is no secret that Liangyi Palace was the official residence of the emperor.

Not to mention the honor of being able to meet the emperor in private, just getting to know the big guys who go in and out is a rare benefit.

"Here!"

After Chao Shangzhi came out of the palace, news of his appointment came out.

Most of the one hundred scholars who won the ranking were arranged to serve as officials in various places in Guanzhong. Generals like the "Five Tigers" who should have grown up in the army were also recruited into the Yulin Army by the emperor.

Only Chao Shangzhi!

This much-anticipated No. 1 scholar was actually named "Hebei, Henan, and Second-level Supervisor of Schools."

Inspector messenger?

A messenger who promotes reading but has no real power?

This made some members of the aristocratic family sneer: "The emperor gave such a small official to Chao Shangzhi. It seems that people from a humble family really don't have any real talent!"

Only the real senior executives know that Chao Shangzhi is about to become prosperous!

When you follow the emperor to do things, it is inevitable to be painted with cakes. But the most important thing is that the emperor can really feed this cake into people's mouths.

Typical examples are Wang Xiu and Du Ji.

The two were thrown into Guanzhong by the emperor one after another. As a result, one became the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other controlled the Jin Yiwei, who usually did not show much publicity, but everyone knew its terrifying power.

Everyone didn't know what the emperor had done for this upstart, but they knew from the somewhat strange name of "Inspector Envoy" that it was probably related to the imperial examination.

Before the world could guess how powerful this "inspector's messenger" was, the emperor would automatically tell the world what level this position was.

"Conferred Situ Xu Xianzhi as the Superintendent of Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road."

"Choose Fu Liang, the servant, as the inspector of schools for Guannai Road and Hedong Road."

I used to laugh at the "school inspector" as a person with no rank and no real power. I was dumbfounded.

There is certainly no rank in this official position.

But who is at the same level?

It's Xu Xianzhi!

It's Fu Liang!

He was the prime minister in the three dynasties of Liu Yu, Liu Yifu and Liu Yizhen!

Can be an official alongside the Prime Minister.

This "school inspector" might be described as "indescribably precious", but that's not enough to describe its nobleness!
