Chapter 48: The Way Out for My Own People

 Mrs. Pei's face was bright red and her hair was a little messy. Luo Quanguan didn't seem to see her, and he bowed and saluted directly, saying: "Greetings to Prince Lingwu."

"Jingzhao Mansion is getting more and more outrageous." Shao Shude sat on the bed and said slowly: "I don't want to interfere in the government affairs of Jingzhao Mansion and let you play by yourself. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

Such domineering words sounded natural to Luo Quanguan.

"Returning to Lingwu County King, the political affairs were returned to Nanya, and the imperial army returned to Beiya. The military envoy left Nanya face, and he didn't want to be too ugly. This Sun Kui is also a strong person. In the past, during the Jingshi Rebellion, he was lucky enough to be established.

Wei Gong has become a bit domineering since then. If Prince Lingwu is dissatisfied, he will be replaced." Luo Quanguan said with a low eyebrow.

Of course, to replace a high-ranking official like Jing Zhaoyin, Nan Ya would have to come forward. From an institutional point of view, the Privy Envoy of the Beisi Division was only in charge of the military. Although Yang Fugong and Tian Lingzi had intervened in government affairs, even key money and food matters, Ximen Zhongsui did not

Although he is so domineering, overall he is more face-saving and won't be so ugly.

But they can apply pressure, there's no doubt about it.

During the suburban festival that year, they struck hard at the issue of whether to wear the prime minister's court uniform. If they couldn't defeat the prime minister, they arrested some lower-level officials and tortured them day and night. Who could stand it?

"First advise Sun Kui. If he doesn't listen, let's replace him. Send Sun Kui to Zhaozhou as governor." Shao Shude said, "But this is not safe enough."

"What does Prince Lingwu want to do?" Luo Quanguan asked.

He was here to solve the problem. Shao Shude did not yell at Sun Kui to kill him, which made him relieved. The dignity of the court was sometimes worn away by one or two things. Sun Kui was demoted far away, and the scene was slightly

It is a reasonable solution and can be considered a solution acceptable to all parties.

"The magistrates of the three counties of Xianyang, Xingping and Wugong have been replaced. I won't move the other Zuo Er officials. You can figure it out on your own." Shao Shude tapped the armrest of the bed with his fingers and said.

Starting from the collection of papers last year, his influence has quietly penetrated into the Jingzhao Mansion. The action is not very big, and it is done piecemeal every year. The officials appointed can usually listen to the court, but you must know who they are.

In the dynasty system of the country, Ji County has one magistrate, who is above the sixth rank; one prime minister, who is below the eighth rank; one chief bookkeeper, who is above the ninth rank; and two lieutenants, who are below the ninth rank.

The three counties of Xianyang, Xingping and Wugong only changed the county magistrate, which is enough. A county captain in Wugong County was also a new Jinshi who passed the examination last year.

These three counties are all on the Wei River leading to Hehuang, and he must control them in his own hands. From now on, the fifteen official officials in these three counties will gradually be replaced by his own people.

To the west of Wugong County, you have to pass through Fufeng and Qishan in Fengxiang Prefecture, Liyang and Qiyuan in Longzhou, Qingshui in Qinzhou, Shanggui and Fuqiang, Longxi in Weizhou, Xiangwu, Weiyuan, and Di in Linzhou.

The road then divides into north and south, with the northern route passing through Lanzhou to Shanzhou, and the southern route passing through Hezhou to Kuozhou.

"Yunyang ordered him to serve in old age, and he was replaced by Zhao Ying. He was transferred to Zhao Ying by order of Tongguan. Weinan ordered, I want to arrange someone this year." Shao Shude said again.

After Li Shao passed away, he gave it to Huo Guogong as a posthumous gift. According to his descendants, there were enough places to fill the quota, so he settled here.

Luo Quanguan naturally responded repeatedly.

Anyway, the biggest problem is the officials of the Nanya Dynasty. The career transfer, promotion, demotion and relegation system of so many officials have been disrupted by the forcible intervention of military leaders. You can quarrel among yourself. If it doesn't work, go to other towns to become officials, such as Lingnanxi

He said, accompany Sun Kui.

Going further east from Weinan County, there are Huazhou, Guozhou, and Shaanzhou, all the way to Henan Prefecture. Going south from Huazhou, you can reach Shangzhou. The road is divided into two, all the way east to Dengzhou, and all the way south to Junzhou.

"One more thing." Shao Shude thought for a moment and said, "We only take thirty people for the scientific examination every year. Isn't that too few?"

This "thirty people" refers to Jinshi, but even if other subjects are included, the number is not large, so the competition is extremely fierce.

In the early days of the Chinese dynasty, only a dozen or so Jinshi were selected in a year, which was so excessive that the official positions were largely occupied by the likes of Yin Bu Guan. Officials with genuine Jinshi origins only accounted for more than 10% and less than 20%, although

They have a very bright future and usually hold high positions.

"This..." Luo Quanguan had some unclear meaning. What was Prince Lingwu doing?

Shao Shude pondered for a while. In fact, this was his impromptu idea to "expand" the imperial court.

There are generally three major sources of qualifications for the Jinshi examination. One is the students under the Chinese studies system, namely the "Six Central Studies" of the Imperial College (both East and West, but the one in Luoyang has been abolished), the "Hongwen Hall" of Menxia Province, and the East Palace

Most of the students in "Chongwen Hall" are the children of powerful families; the second group is Confucian classics students from various states and counties, but not everyone can take the exam. There are quotas and need to be selected. These two categories are collectively called "official school" students.

There is also a third category, that is, non-official students. They need to test their academic ability, pass the county-level examination, be recommended by the county captain, and go to the state to take the second examination. Those who pass the exam will enter Beijing with a "clearance certificate".

The towns under Shao Shude's rule spent a lot of money to establish prefecture and county economics schools, and the students were overcrowded, even more than twice the number stipulated by the imperial court. He needed to give these students a way out.

Thirty Jinshi quotas, plus miscellaneous subjects such as Mingshu and Mingjing, are too few and not enough!

In Hexi and Longyou, many children of Tibetan tribal chiefs were persuaded by him to enter official schools. After completing their studies, they were unable to become officials and were included in institutional management. How could this be done?

"Let's enroll fifty Jinshi this year, and we will slowly add more every year from now on." Shao Shude made some calculations and felt that it was not yet the peak period for the official school students under his administration to take exams, so he settled on fifty.

Fifty people, of course he has to intervene, ten places are reserved for foreign scholars who write the papers for him, and ten places are reserved for the official schools of the eight towns of Shuofang, Longyou, Hexi, Weibei, Huazhou, Jingyuan, Xingning, and Jinshang

As for the students, he doesn't care who they give them to. The students from the eight towns compete among themselves, and the level will not be too bad anyway.

Five more are left for the official school students in Fengxiang, Shannan West Road, Shannan East Road, Shaanxi, Guo, Longjian, Tang and Deng Sui Liu towns, if they have not been abandoned.

The other quotas are for the court bosses to play by themselves.

He didn't want to go too far and ruin the brand of the imperial court, which would reduce the benefits too much.

The territory is getting bigger and bigger, the people are getting more and more, and the hunger for government talents has never been satisfied. Let the government students under your rule have multiple ways out, go to Chang'an to see things, broaden their horizons, and gain more insights.

It is better than working in your hometown until you die after completing your studies.

Shao Shude has a preference in selecting talents, that is, they must have an overall vision. Those who have not traveled far away, have no experience of studying abroad, and have not lived in states with different customs, different regional cultures, generally will not be favored by him, unless

Extraordinarily outstanding talent.

He now has several trusted confidants.

Lu Huaizhong was from Huainan. He had experience in the south and northwest. He was also stationed in Guohelong and Xingyuan, so he had rich experience.

Chen Cheng, a native of Huainan, went to Chang'an to study, and worked as a junior and middle-level assistant in the Zhaoyi Town shogunate, so he had rich experience.

Song Le, a native of Hedong, traveled to various places when he was young. Later, he went to Chang'an to take the exam, but failed. Then he joined Qiu Weidao's sect and went to Fengzhou to serve as a military supervisor. Later, he met Shao Shude during the campaign against Li Guochang and his son.

Li Yanling, a native of Fengzhou, went to Shuofang, Jingyuan and other places to prepare for autumn in his early years. Later, he followed Shao Shude to fight in Hedong. Over the years, he transferred to various official positions. He was a smooth man with emotional intelligence.

Ren Yuji was exiled to Fengzhou with his father when he was young. He was originally from Hebei and had experience in military campaigns in Hebei, Guanbei, Hedong and Guanzhong and as an official.

Zhao Guangfeng, a native of Jingzhao Prefecture, had a relatively simple life experience in his early years and had been living in Guanzhong. But following him around the country these past few years, his experience was naturally extraordinary.

Li Tangbin, a native of Henan, had fought almost in both the north and the south, and his experience was not ordinary.

These are the civil and military officers and generals he trusts most, the main members of the so-called inner circle. Their vision and knowledge are naturally much better than those who have been in their hometown for most of their lives.

In fact, many of the fifty people who started Shao Shude are descendants of prisoners who were exiled to Fengzhou. Cultures and ideas from all over the country collide here, making them look at things in a richer way and not limited to a single perspective.

"Since the King of Lingwu County intends to increase the number of Jinshi, after the news comes out, he will be praised by all the scholars in the world." Luo Quanguan flattered him and said with a smile: "I don't know how many people failed to pass the Jinshi exam after more than ten years.

I will cry with joy, it is so heart-warming."

Shao Shude smiled and asked again: "Has it been decided to confer Dong Chang the title of King of Yue?"

"It's settled. The angels have already set off."

"What are the regulations of the Yue Prince's Office?" Shao Shude asked calmly.

The princely ennoblement system of the imperial dynasty and the Xuanzong dynasty were a dividing line, and the policies before and after were very different.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Taizong decided to establish feudalism.

A total of twenty-one kings were granted the title of Governor of Jingzhou, King Jing Yuanjing, Governor of Liangzhou, Han Wang Yuanchang, Governor of Xuzhou, Xu Wang Yuanli, Governor of Luzhou, Han Wang Yuanjia, and Governor of Suizhou, Peng Wangyuanze. "The appointed governors are hereditary to the descendants of Xianling."

However, the ministers objected fiercely, and the system was only implemented for two years before the hereditary system was abolished. However, the system of kings' foreign affairs continued to be implemented, but it needed to be relocated and could no longer be hereditary.

After Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, this system was abolished. He put all the kings under house arrest in Chang'an, except for the governor. The place of house arrest was called "Ten Princes' House" at the time, and now it is called "Fifteen Princes' House". There is a position in Beisi

He was called the "fifteen kings' envoy" and was responsible for monitoring the kings.

In the feudal society, the establishment of the prince's official office was really eye-catching. The prince's office had three agencies: the marriage affairs office, the tent office, and the prince's kingdom.

In the prince's palace there are officials such as Fu, You, Literary, Jijiu, Changshi, Sima, and Chief Secretary.

Among the three major subordinate organizations, the Marriage Affairs Office has two Dianjun, two deputy Dianjun, 16 people in charge of the marriage, 16 people in charge of the marriage, and 333 people in the marriage, a total of 369 people.

The rank of the House within the tent is like that of the Marriage House, with a slightly larger number of 667 people.

In the Prince's Kingdom, there are official positions such as Ling, Da Nong, Wei, Cheng, and Recorder. Among them, Guo Ling, Da Nong is in charge of "tongjuanguosi", Guowei is in charge of "jianguo Sisi", and Guocheng is in charge of "paying attention to matters."

Provincial department banknotes, supervise printing, and provide paper and pen."

Contact the Dianjun, Commander-in-Chief, Guards, Lieutenants, School Captains, and the warehouses, soldiers, and armor officers directly under the Prince's Mansion to participate in the military affairs. Good guy, the organization is complete, and he is in charge of both the army and the people.

You can also mobilize state and county soldiers. At the beginning, it was hereditary and fully feudal.

But Xuanzong experienced a coup, and he took over power...

The kings who had their power taken away were having a hard time. Some of them didn't even have a royal palace and were under surveillance. It was completely different from before.

"After returning to Lingwu County Prince, after the court meeting, Dong Chang was granted the title of King of Yue. In the prince's palace, there was Fu, a person from the third rank; a long history person, from the fourth rank; a Sima, from the fourth rank; and one person who joined the army for consultation.

One friend is from the fifth rank; one friend is from the sixth rank; one person is from the sixth rank; one person is the bookkeeper, from the sixth rank; two literature men are from the sixth rank..." Luo Quanguan said in one breath

He obtained many high-ranking official positions.

"There are also the ceremonial guards of the Marriage Affairs Office, and the attendants of the tent office." Luo Quanguan continued.

"No more?" Shao Shude asked.

"No more." Luo Quanguan lowered his head and replied.

Shao Shude hummed and said nothing.

There is no essential difference from a county prince! That is to say, there are more official positions, and there are more ceremonial guards and personal attendants.

In Shao Shude's Lingwu County Prince's Palace, the chief historian, Sima officer, general secretary, chief clerk, etc. were all concurrently handled by shogunate officials. The focus of their work was still the shogunate. These concurrent officials were not valued at all because they did not have much meaning.

This is not feudalism. There is no feudal land, and the official positions in the royal palace are dispensable. It is not as good as holding the real power in the secretariat.

After waving Luo Quanguan away, Shao Shude closed his eyes and thought.

"Your Majesty." Pei Zhenyi slowly leaned into his arms and said softly: "I feel that the regulations of the Yue Prince's Mansion set by the court officials are appropriate. If we seal the land and establish a system now, the world will immediately fall apart, which will be detrimental to the king's grand plan."

"You woman, you don't want to have such knowledge." Shao Shude lifted her chin and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the bottom line is broken step by step. Let's see the world's reaction first. Dong Chang became the leader.

, I hope he can hold on."
