Section 658 [Southern Tour] (3)(2/2)

There are many people who know about it, just like the national policies of the Celestial Dynasty. Even ordinary people in the market can tell one, two, three, four, or even hear about it.

Nowadays, although it is not as advanced as the later dynasties, information is developed and information is exploding.

However, the officials here are not citizens of the Celestial Empire.

All of them are elites in the ruling class.

Insights, ideas and knowledge are all at the top of society.

Compared with the Jiuqing giants and the Two Thousand Stones, what many of them lack may be just their qualifications and status.

In terms of vision, knowledge, ideas and abilities, some of the people among them may not be inferior to Jiu Qing.

For example, the late Han Prime Minister Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping, was just a librarian who managed the books for the Qin court in the Qin Dynasty. However, in the Han Dynasty, he held the power of the country for fifteen years and brought everyone up and down.

It can be treated submissively and docilely.

It is said that times create heroes, but heroes also create times.

Therefore, Liu Che still has some expectations for the talents in his court.

If it is not necessary, Liu Che is not willing to let actors appear on the stage, but hopes to find a few insightful, discerning, rough jade that can be carved or even formed gems from these people.

"Queen, don't be anxious, come one by one..." Liu Che waved his hand and said.

Emperor Liu has always been keen on similar scenes.

Because this can build up reputation and spread the word, it can establish the image of the emperor as being broad-minded and able to speak to his ministers.

Therefore, the emperors of the Liu family in the past dynasties would find mid-level and low-level officials every once in a while to ask them about their opinions on national policies.

On the one hand, it is to learn from others' strong points and fill in the gaps, so as to prevent oneself from being deceived and ignored by others. On the other hand, it is to build up one's reputation so that people all over the world, especially the scholar-bureaucrat class, know that today's emperor has a generous personality and is kind to scholars, especially those who can treat scholars well.

Listen to advice.

In China, this is one of the symbols of a wise king.

Liu Che is now gradually awakening to his talent in this area.

He smiled warmly and said to an official who was relatively close to him: "Sir, please speak first!"

This official was about thirty years old, with a slender figure but not thin. He had a square face with strong features of northern scholars, with sharp edges and a full beard.

He held on to the jade guide and solemnly kowtowed to Liu Che, and then said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shi Jin, died in ignorance: Your Majesty is kind and wants the people to raise more horses. If the people raise more horses, the country will be better armed. This is your Majesty's message."

It is holy and sage, so it can see thousands of miles away. I am forbidden to be ignorant and cannot reach it!"

From the first glance, this guy is a standard courtier flatterer. Liu Che is quite comfortable when photographed.

At the very least, he was not afraid of stage fright and could speak freely in front of Liu Che. Based on this psychological quality alone, Liu Che felt that he should be promoted.

So, Liu Che asked Ji An in a low voice: "Who is this?"

The Prime Minister's Office of the Han Dynasty was a huge organization with thousands of employees. It had hundreds of bureaucrats, big and small, under its jurisdiction.

Liu Che had never even met most of them.

It has been three years since he ascended the throne, and Liu Che still can’t recognize all of Prime Minister Hui Shi! (Prime Minister Hui Shi is worth six hundred stones, and the prime minister has a long history)

Not to mention the history of the prime minister, which cost four hundred stones and compiled dozens of people.

Just like the Chinese bosses, they generally don't recognize researchers from a research institution affiliated with the State Council.

But as a minister, Ji An had to recognize every clerk in the prime minister's house, especially the prime minister's history who was responsible for specific policy research and documentation.

Therefore, Ji An almost immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this is Prime Minister Shi Wenjin, from Hedong!"

When Wen Jin saw this scene, he felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and his mouth went dry for a while.

It is the dream of countless middle and low-level officials like Wen Jin to have their names heard by heaven.

Zhang Shizhi was a man who served Emperor Taizong for ten years and remained unknown to anyone.

But once he was promoted to Datianting, his official position was like a rocket. In just a few years, he completed the n-level jump, from an unknown petty official to a Han Dynasty court captain and a famous minister in the world.

Wen Jin's psychological quality was still good. He took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Your Majesty asked, although I am dull and do not understand rituals and music, but I have a foolish opinion, and I am willing to share it with you.

Your Majesty, please give me some details!"

Liu Che laughed when he saw this. If everything else remains unchanged, this person can still keep his expression unchanged and his speech speed unchanged after Liu Che deliberately asked his name. This alone can promote him to Lantai.

Become a minister.

Liu Che has never been afraid to give respect and preferential treatment to talents, so Liu Che also said seriously: "Please give me a try!"

He is a complete example of a courteous and virtuous corporal, and a wise gentleman who is thirsty for talents.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, when facing middle- and lower-level officials, the emperor would often put down his pretense as an emperor, be friendly, and even talk to them as equals, respectfully addressing them as "Ming Gong," "Sir," "Your Excellency," etc.

For example, when Liu Che's grandfather, Liu Heng, was in power, he addressed middle- and lower-level officials as "Ming Gong" more than once. Even if the other party's words slapped the emperor's face a few times, he would not get angry.

However, once this lower-middle-level official was promoted to more than two thousand dan, he immediately changed his face.

The reason is simple.

The old Liu family knew very well that showing respect and even tolerance to subordinates, especially lower-level officials who may only interact with them once or twice in their lives, can gain the loyalty of people all over the world and build their own image.

For example, during the duel between Taizong and Feng Tang, Feng Tang even bluntly said: Although your majesty has acquired integrity, Li Mu cannot be used!

But Taizong was just "angry and imprisoned." After two days, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he sent someone to invite Feng Tang over and said, "Why do you, sir, why are you insulting me? I have nothing to do?"

It means, sir, why do you want to humiliate me in public? If you want to slap me in the face, you can tell me in private...

Feng Tang's stupid young man replied directly: I don't know what is taboo.

In any other dynasty, it would be very difficult for Feng Tang to die!

But in the Han Dynasty, his name was honored in the annals of history and will be immortal throughout the ages.

Immortal with him is the other protagonist in the story, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty.

So, among the emperors throughout the ages, in terms of acting skills, who can compare with Taizong of the Han Dynasty?

As an emperor determined to follow his grandfather's good example, Liu Che naturally didn't care about such unrealistic things as moral integrity and face.

The emperor's attitude immediately made countless ministers, including Wen Jin, burst into tears. What does it mean to be a holy emperor? This is it!

In the spirit of a simple scholar-bureaucrat who dies for his bosom friend, Wen Jin kowtowed and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. I have the courage to say this: If Your Majesty wants to let the people raise horses, he must be there first so that the people can raise them. Now it's a slave horse."

One horse is also worth tens of thousands, and if you get a good horse, it is worth hundreds of thousands. If you are a small country and have a small family of five, your annual income is less than 1,800 dan, but you can get more than 10,000 yuan. In addition to taxes, taxes, clothing, food, and new things, you are already rich.

If you have no money left, you will be a middle-aged man. With only ten hectares of land to cultivate, you will only have a few thousand left every year! So I think that the people are not willing to raise horses, but they are really unable to raise horses!"

Listening to these analyses, Liu Che nodded and looked happy.

In fact, everyone knows these things.

Knowing the problem and knowing how to solve the problem are two different things.

However, looking at this person's appearance, Liu Che thought that he should have a solution.

So, Liu Che smiled and encouraged him to continue. As an emperor, Liu Che knew very well that most of his officials were not without ideas or brainstorming. Looking at ancient and modern times and historical records, they could see the country's shortcomings and policy loopholes at a glance.

Officials and bureaucrats are like crucian carp crossing the river. They know how to solve the problem but they only know how to solve it.

But why can't they raise it to the higher authorities?

The reason is simple. First, they have no channels. Second, they do not receive encouragement from the rulers, especially the supreme rulers.

As an emperor, he wants to make his rule stable.

In fact, the method is also very simple.

First, you have to find a group of officials who can help you identify the problem. Second, you have to ask these officials to solve the problem.

This is what is called recruiting and employing people. (To be continued.)
