The Ministry of Revenue official gasped again and attracted everyone's attention.
Speaking of today, what happened to these people?
Why don't you explain things clearly directly? Everyone likes to breathe heavily?
"Okay, if you have anything to do, it doesn't matter.
Next time if something happens, please report it directly and don’t gasp for breath. How would it be inappropriate to gasp for breath every time?”
"It's your Majesty, your Majesty, please forgive me.
Your Majesty, all the officials we recommended last year have been arranged.
Now that the new year has just passed, it is not yet time to recommend.
Officials who have gone to Youzhou now report that the government in Youzhou is short of manpower, and please forgive me."
"What? It's really unreasonable. Why didn't you report it earlier for such an important matter?"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you, but it's not yet time to recommend people.
So I, Wei Chen, haven’t had time to report to His Majesty yet.”
Saving lives is like putting out fires. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense.
Immediately afterwards, Li Er began to allocate a group of people in the court to prepare to go to Youzhou to deal with it.
Another group of ministers stood up directly to dissuade him.
Things in the court are very busy now. If all these ministers are transferred, the manpower in the court will be insufficient.
This sentence on the left and the sentence on the right, in the final analysis, are the lack of officials in the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I think we don't need to worry.
It won't be long before various states, prefectures and counties will recommend people.
As long as we recommend the people, we will have enough manpower to arrange for Youzhou."
Hearing this, Li Er slammed the table hard and scolded him angrily.
“I’m really pissed off.
You are all our imperial officials, yet you have said such irresponsible words?
My court can wait, but can the people of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty wait?
If something happens to the people, how should they deal with it?
If something else happens again in Youzhou, who can report it immediately?
A country cannot be without a king for a day, and local officials cannot be without officials for a day.
I really don’t know what I want you people to do, but we encountered such a situation at the critical moment?"
Just when Li Er was angry, the children of the seven major families stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, there are many young men of the right age in our family, all of whom have great talents.
He is fully qualified for the official position. As long as His Majesty needs it, we will send you a letter immediately.
We and other families can allocate a large number of manpower for Your Majesty to go to Youzhou to deal with the matter in Youzhou."
After hearing this, the other ministers nodded.
These seven major families still have some background. If a large number of people from each of their major families are deployed to go to Youzhou at this moment, Youzhou's urgent need can be solved.
But when Li Er heard these words, he felt cold in his heart.
As expected, they are all a bunch of old foxes. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
If all of them are arranged to Youzhou, and if you want to transfer them away at that time, what should you do if there is no legitimate reason?
It’s really unreasonable for them to be so cunning one after another!
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. It's not time to recommend yet. Wouldn't it be against the rules to recommend rashly?"
The so-called rules are dead, but people are alive.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.
Today's time is right for Youzhou to hire people, and the people we have arranged are all outstanding people from my big family.
It is also impossible to use some unknown people to make up for it, so please rest assured, Your Majesty.
Besides, these people are also the ones I need to recommend this year. We just asked them to go ahead of schedule for special reasons!
Immediately afterwards, in the court, everyone started talking about it again!
"Your Majesty, I think this recommendation system is good, but it is too restrictive.
Even if this year I am recommending talents from all over the world to be used by my court.
Just to close the gap in Youzhou, there are still big gaps in other places.
It is said that in the land of Bashu, there are several counties for only one county government.
If the common people deal with something, they have to travel hundreds of miles to the county government to report.
It would be great if we could summon more talents from all over the world to be used by Datang!"
"Hahaha,
Since Duke Zhao Guo has said this, can't we just recruit more disciples from the family to fill all the gaps?
No matter how much is missing, we can arrange as much as possible!”
Alas, Changsun Wuji shook his head.
"Your Majesty, everyone's abilities are different. Even among the children of your families, it is impossible for every child to be better than everyone else.
There will definitely be a lot of mediocre people, but it would be better if talented people are arranged.
If all these mediocre people are arranged, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be harmed by that time. I think this is inappropriate!"
"This is not appropriate, and that is not appropriate either. Then tell me what method you should use?"
Ding.
Just waiting for you to say this!
Changsun Wuji coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has an idea, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive Wei Chen for being disrespectful!"
"It doesn't matter, Duke Zhao just said it doesn't matter!"
"It's Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I heard during the Sui Dynasty that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once instituted an imperial examination system to recruit talents from all over the world.
Let all the talented people in the world be used by the court.
Wei Chen thinks that the Tang Dynasty can also imitate the Sui Dynasty and hold imperial examinations to select talents from all over the world.
In this way, my court can have a steady stream of talented people at its disposal."
Changsun Wuji's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on a hot oil pan, causing the whole pan to explode.
"Old Changsun, don't try to confuse people with your lies here.
Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to drag his eldest grandson out and chop him down."
"Yes, Your Majesty, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, and his second son, wanted to make me, the Tang Dynasty, follow his old path of the Sui Dynasty.
As an important minister in my court, he just doesn't think about my Majesty, but he actually wants to push our country into the abyss.
Do you really want the situation in the late Sui Dynasty to happen in the Tang Dynasty?"
The ones who criticized him the most at the moment were the children of the clan clan.
Doesn’t the emergence of the imperial examination system mean that talents must be selected through examinations?
At that time, there will be no need for anyone to recommend you. All you need is a test paper to get into His Majesty's eyes.
Through these examination papers, His Majesty selects talents from among them and directly omits these clan members.
What will be broken at that time is the recommendation system. If the recommendation system is broken, they will have no privileges.
The reason why they can monopolize the entire world is that, firstly, they have books, and secondly, they have the keys to the upper class society.
If ordinary people want to move into the upper class, they have to team up with them.
If the imperial examination system were to be held, it would be tantamount to releasing this scourge again, and the interests of their clan clan would definitely be severely damaged.
In any case, this imperial examination system cannot be opened.
The clans that reacted the most fiercely all fired at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji, on the other hand, looked calm. After all, what he did today was to protect His Majesty from the sword.
Even if he goes up a mountain of swords and into a sea of fire, he will never give up. This chapter has been completed!
