Luo Youdu looked at the fifty-two people below, his eyes pausing on each person.
Wherever he looked, all the scholars straightened up unconsciously, so that such a great king as Luo Youdu could look him in the eye. For them, it was not only an honor, but also a blessing.
Luo Youdu scanned everyone one by one and said: "They are all said to be disciples of the emperor, but I know only a few of you. The rest only hear their voices and don't know who they are. In this way, you can follow your current position and identify yourself."
Let me introduce you. Let me get to know each other, and let you all get familiar with each other this time."
His eyes fell on Bi Shi'an and said: "No. 1 Scholar, let's start with you!"
"yes!"
Bi Shi'an stepped forward, bowed calmly, and said: "Bi Shi'an, courtesy name Rensou, is from Yunzhong, Daizhou. I pay homage to Your Majesty and have met all of you."
Ma Shi immediately came out and said: "Ma Shi, courtesy name Zide, is from Hukou, Jiujiang..."
"Shi Hao's courtesy name is Xiaoyuan, and his given name is Neihuang Renshi..."
After Sandingjia, the second-level Jinshi will be born, and then it is the turn of the third-level Jinshi.
…
"Guo He, whose courtesy name is Jiang Sheng, is from Pingji, Zhaozhou..."
Hearing Guo He's self-introduction, Luo Youdu paused for a moment. He was a middle-aged man with a plain appearance, in his thirties, with dark complexion. He did not look like a well-educated scholar who had read poetry and books. Instead, he traveled all over the country.
The demeanor of a Jianghu person.
Luo Youdu wrote down the names of the fifty-two people one by one, and said with some joy: "Do you know who is the most important in this court?"
Their Royal Highnesses first looked at each other, and then a voice came from the crowd: "Of course it is Your Majesty!"
The speaker is Zhang Xia, a second-level Jinshi.
Luo Youdu said: "I don't agree with what Zhang Jinshi said. "The Tao Te Ching" says that governing a big country is like cooking a small one. And a strong country is like building a tall building. How tall the building is does not depend on the person standing on the top.
, but the lowest foundation. What maintains the operation of the entire imperial court is not me, the emperor, nor prime ministers such as Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Song Qi. It is thousands of grassroots officials, and you in the future."
The imperial examination system of the Luo Yu court was very different from that of later generations.
The higher the ranking of those who are selected in the later generations, the greater the chance of staying in the capital. They will become bachelors of the Hanlin Academy or a certain academy. On the one hand, they accumulate qualifications and on the other hand, they wait for the opportunity to get close to the emperor.
If you are lucky, you will be able to fly to the sky at a young age, but if you are not lucky, no one will care about you for thirty or forty years.
Luo Youdu was very dissatisfied with this. As a court official, true knowledge can only be seen through hard work. He hung out in the Hanlin Academy and did some pen-tip work every day. He didn't know the sufferings of the people. How could he govern the world?
Therefore, in the Luo Yu court, all candidates who passed the imperial examination will have internships in various places in Beijing.
Then, based on their demonstrated abilities and talents, they will be decentralized to serve as officials in various places, and promotion criteria will be based on their official reputation, deeds, and political achievements.
As for Song Bai and Guo Zhi, they were in special circumstances.
The Luo-Yu court was newly established and there was a shortage of officials in Beijing, so the decentralization system was not implemented immediately.
Nowadays, the imperial court is full of talents, and all Jinshi must have certain grassroots work experience.
Only when you have achieved results at the grassroots level and proven yourself can you be qualified to be transferred to the capital as an official.
"You are the key to how far the imperial court can go and how high its achievements are."
Luo Youdu said with some enthusiasm.
If you are a veteran in official circles, Luo Youdu's speech will probably go in through the left ear and out through the right ear.
But these fifty-two people of your highness are all at a turning point in their lives. They have studied hard for many years in Hanchuang. When they enter high school today, they are naturally full of ambition and proud of themselves.
Luo Youdu's metaphor was like a shot of chicken blood to them, and they all felt their blood boiling.
"but……"
Luo Youdu changed his tone again, and said cautiously: "You must have heard about Song Bai. I feel deeply sad for Song Bai, and I feel even more regretful, but I don't regret it at all. The state has national laws, and every family has family rules. A thousand-mile dike
, was destroyed in an ant nest, no matter how regretful it is, no matter how painful it is, there is no room for maneuver. In the near future, you will all become the parents and officials of the place. Here, I give you a sentence: "Your salary is your salary, and the people support the people." Part 2
People are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully. I hope you can learn from this, and don't let ten years of hard work be ruined in one day just because of a wrong thought."
Your Highness and everyone are secretly awe-inspiring. Song Bai, as a negative example, has achieved a very good deterrent effect.
The salary of the imperial court is public, and high salary may not be able to maintain integrity. However, high salary can create a trade-off relationship with corruption.
Is it worth sacrificing your whole life for something that is not lacking?
Luo Youdu looked at the people who were deep in thought and said: "You are the future of the imperial court. I believe you will not become the second Song Bai. Okay, let's not talk about this unhappy thing. I have prepared wine and food in the side hall. I want to
Have a drink with the cornerstone of the imperial court."
Compared with the Qionglin Banquet, the Jiying Banquet was shabby, but because of the presence of Luo Youdu, it became not shabby.
As the leading figure at the banquet, Luo Youdu once again used his terrifying trick of human nature and sophistication.
While accepting the toasts from the Jinshi, he also toasted a glass of wine with everyone.
He clearly called each person by name and chatted a bit about their hometown and the best part of their exam paper.
To be able to pass the Jinshi examination, there must be something unique in their examination papers.
Luo Youdu gave them affirmation and praise. In a few words, he said that the other party felt greatly appreciated by Lord Yu Ming, and wished he could die for him immediately to show his loyalty and repay the kindness of knowing Yu Ming.
Almost everyone felt that Luo Youdu valued them.
"Guo Jinshi, are you from Pingji, Zhaozhou? I don't think so! Your understanding of the Yellow River is not like that of people who live in Pingji. I believe that you live on both sides of the Yellow River. The management plan for the Yellow River in your volume,
Let me open my eyes. Without in-depth research, I wouldn’t be able to get such a method.”
A hint of sadness flashed in Guo He's eyes, and he said: "My father was once a doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources of the Later Tang Dynasty. He was ordered by Li Siyuan to regulate the Yellow River. My father traveled up and down the river for ten years, but he accidentally encountered a flood and lost his trace. The students read day and night what my father had accumulated in the past ten years.
I also did field research on the manuscript. To be honest with Your Majesty, my father is at least 70% successful in writing the answers written by the students."
Luo Youdu suddenly understood, and he did not continue speaking in front of the public.
Instead, after the banquet, someone was sent to stay with Guo He.
Looking at Guo He, who was a little worried, Luo Youdu said: "I have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently because of the Yellow River incident. It is an emergency, and I don't pay attention to the rules. After the river control special operations team returns from the field inspection, you will also join in. In
Before that, you should sort out the materials in detail and discuss it with the action team at that time. Regardless of success or failure, you will be credited."
Guo He couldn't believe his ears, but looking at the encouraging eyes above, he bowed excitedly and said loudly: "The student will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."
