"Yes, Uncle Zhongyong met with six ministers today, the censor of Zuodu of Duchayuan, the minister of Dali Temple, and the bachelor of Hanlin Academy."
Qi Shanhai said respectfully,
"According to reports from informants within the six departments, Uncle Zhongyong promised many official positions, and even the informant himself got two official positions."
"According to this calculation, the official position promised by Zhongyong Bo is by no means a small number, and may even exceed imagination."
Dugu Zhao nodded, "What is Uncle Zhongyong doing now?"
Qi Shanhai, who was standing outside the door, took out the Thousand Miles Transmission Symbol, glanced at it, and then replied,
"After Uncle Zhongyong met the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he stayed in the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department for quite a long time."
"Right now... I'm taking a walk with Annan Zhi."
Dugu Zhao's hand turning over the memorial suddenly stopped, "The eldest lady from the An family?"
Qi Shanhai nodded, "Yes."
The corners of Dugu Zhao's lips curled up slightly, "Our loyal and brave uncle is truly worthy of being a famous scholar."
Qi Shanhai bowed his head, but did not dare to speak at this time.
He was naturally aware of the rumors about the Queen and Uncle Zhongyong.
That night, the Queen and Uncle Zhongyong did not meet each other.
The rumors are all false.
But before Zhongyong Bo went to the Purple Ling Palace, he stayed alone with the Queen for two quarters of an hour in the royal study.
During this time, no one outside knew what was going on inside.
Logically speaking, he didn't believe there was anything between the Queen and Uncle Zhongyong.
But... don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
At this time, saying nothing is the best policy.
After a while, Dugu Zhao's voice came out, "Keep staring."
Qi Shanhai bowed and said, "Yes."
Before he finished speaking, he disappeared outside the imperial study room door.
In the imperial study room, Dugu Zhao put down the memorial and gently rubbed it with his fingertips. There was a faint doubt in his red and phoenix eyes.
"What is the profound meaning of Li Changan's move?"
"Based on his actions during the disaster relief in the south, it doesn't seem like he was responsible for giving away official positions."
"Is this to connect the courts and reduce resistance?"
She leaned on the back of the chair, her black hair hanging down like a waterfall and spread out to the ground, and her whole person revealed a sense of laziness.
He seemed to have remembered something, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "The An family is not so easy to accept the apple of their eye becoming someone else's concubine..."
The night view of the capital is indeed much more beautiful than the night view of Dongyue County.
The lanterns along the way exude a faint brilliance, just enough to illuminate the path under your feet without appearing dazzling.
Moreover, these lanterns are filled with cultural atmosphere, and when connected together, they seem to spread out a sea of flowers in the night sky.
Anfu is close to the imperial city.
There is no hustle and bustle outside here, and it is more peaceful.
Li Chang'an held An Nan Zhi's hand and slowly walked along the lanterns on the street towards An's mansion.
Along the way, when he met court ministers or top students in the academy, Li Changan had to clasp his fists in return.
"It's not always a good thing to be recognized." Li Changan shook his head helplessly.
Annan Zhi's feet were light. Although she just walked with Li Changan, she was very happy. "Ordinary people's salutes are more sincere. They have no utilitarian intentions."
"The intention of scribes and officials to make friends is more obvious. As long as you are in the court, this is unavoidable."
Li Changan squeezed his soft jade-like hand and said, "So, after I finish working as a supply and marketing director, I will prepare to stay away from the court and become a free scholar."
Annan Zhi turned her head to the side, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, "Really?"
Li Changan paid attention to his surroundings, quickly lowered his head and took a peck, "Well, I'll welcome you through the door when the time comes."
An Nanzhi's cold and dusty face instantly turned red. She punched Li Changan's chest in shame,
"What should I do if someone sees me while I'm still outside?"
Li Changan laughed, "Then I'll curse them with needle eyes."
Seeing Li Changan's appearance, An Nanzhi bit her silver teeth lightly and pinched the soft flesh of Li Changan's waist with her jade fingers.
"Next time I come to see you in men's clothes to see if you can still do anything."
Li Changan pretended to be in pain, grinned and waved his hands quickly, "That won't work, something will happen then."
The two of them flirted and flirted all the way to the door of An's house. They stayed together for another quarter of an hour before saying goodbye.
…
the next few days,
Li Changan spends every day between home and the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department.
The Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department gradually became lively.
A total of 140 people found by Feng Buyi and others have been reported.
The specific situation of these people was also handed over by Li Changan to the espionage department for detailed investigation.
Rumors gradually began to spread within the official circles of the capital.
Li Changan gave away thousands of official positions at once, and it was impossible to hide it if he wanted to.
Almost all fifth-rank officials in the court have been allocated quotas, and even sixth-rank officials have the right to recommend them.
The selection of the Supply and Marketing Department for official positions within the imperial court has become the most lively event in the official circles of the capital today.
Such an upright act of corruption has left many people scratching their heads.
Isn't Li Changan obviously causing trouble for himself by doing this?
It's April,
The Supply and Marketing Department issued the first official document.
Moreover, this official document was quickly distributed from the capital to all prefectures, and then from the prefecture to counties.
For a time, almost the entire Jin Dynasty was boiling.
"This...this supply and marketing department actually has so many official positions!? It's simply unbelievable!"
Many people were shocked by this terrifying number at first glance.
"According to preliminary calculations, it is now planned to announce 5,317 official positions in the Supply and Marketing Bureau. All scribes can participate in the assessment, and those who pass the assessment can be hired."
"Another 37,580 supply and marketing department officials are planned to be recruited. All citizens of the Jin Dynasty who have not committed any crimes and have passed the examination can be hired."
"If there are any additions in the future, we will announce them separately!"
Not only the common people, but also the officials saw this kind of official document for the first time.
In the past, the appointment of imperial officials in the Jin Dynasty had never been so transparent and open.
And it’s really unprecedented that the threshold is so low.
Official positions only require scribes.
Some people speculate that if official positions did not require literati to be integrated with it, I am afraid that Zhongyongbo would even directly cancel the restriction on scribes' cultivation.
Didn't you look at the selection of supply and marketing department officials? There are no restrictions at all. As long as you pass the assessment, you can be hired?
This is what excites ordinary people the most.
Not everyone has the talent of a scholar. The only way out for ordinary people is to practice martial arts. At least they can still have some strength.
But I can only barely survive.
It is extremely difficult to get ahead.
But now, Uncle Zhongyong has opened the door for all ordinary people, and the government officials don't even require cultivation.
Doesn’t this mean that they can also take part in the assessment?
"I don't dare think about official positions, but I can always compete for it, right?"
"Anyone can give it a try, but why do I always feel unsure?"
"If you don't keep it all, you just show it to us for a look. Who will you choose when the time comes? In the end, the joy will be in vain."
Some people are still beating drums in their hearts.
"Uncle Zhongyong is in charge of the Supply and Marketing Department, and he is definitely more reliable than other officials in the imperial court!"
"That is, when Uncle Zhongyong was providing disaster relief in the south, the dog officials he killed didn't even dare to raise their heads."
"You guys continue to read on. Zhongyong Bo also said what he will take the test. This is not a joke."
Someone pointed to the bottom of the official document,
"The main content of the assessment is mainly mathematical calculations and policy theory. The reference book of the Supply and Marketing Department will be on sale at Wangfu Commercial Banks in various places on April 15th, with a uniform price of 20 yuan."
“Anyone who hoards privately to influence other people’s purchases will be punished immediately upon discovery!”
"The major examination of the Supply and Marketing Department will be held on the first day of June in all county yamen!"
…
In the official document, item by item, everything is listed very clearly.
Even new words like reference books were found.
How could there be anything like this in the past assessments? It all depends on the students’ own preparation, and I don’t know how many false claims I have to read.
As a result, now, Uncle Zhongyong is afraid that everyone does not know what to study and what to take the exam.
Even reference books are provided.
"As expected of Uncle Zhongyong!" After reading the official document, everyone was impressed by it.
"I provided a reference book, but I was worried that it would be controlled by a small number of people in the local area and that ordinary people would not be able to get it, so I even used it."
"He is sincere and wants to open a way for ordinary people..."
Even the most inconspicuous yamen servant lives a much better life than the average person.
Basically it was controlled by scribes.
Nowadays, ordinary people also have opportunities.
It really set a precedent for the Jin Dynasty!
At a time when the whole country was discussing in Jin Dynasty,
The second official document once again swept through the Jin Dynasty, and the whole country was in an uproar.
"The Supply and Marketing Department has expropriated Wangfu Trading Company. From now on, Wangfu Trading Company will be taken over by the Supply and Marketing Department."
"On this basis, we will build local supply and marketing bureaus and officially change their names on May 15th."
