The supply and marketing department's review of examination papers is in full swing.
Although there were various twists and turns along the way, the number of examination papers collected from all over the country exceeded 500,000, which has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Li Changan would sit in the courtyard every day, flipping through the book "A Survey of Miraculous Powers in the Gentleman's Realm" in his hands.
Others in the Supply and Marketing Department were quickly reviewing the examination papers.
Every day is very stressful.
This is just marking examination papers, and in the future, official positions will need to be allocated and centralized training will be required.
Even if they are all scribes and their grades are not low, they still need to consume a lot of energy.
And outside.
As time passed, civil and military officials and people from all over the country who participated in the assessment were all waiting for the news to be announced by the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department.
Especially the important ministers in the court sent people to guard the supply and marketing department every day, and reported immediately as soon as there was any news.
"Then Li Changan actually carried out the assessment. Although there are many shortcomings, this is only the first year, and it will only get smoother and smoother in the future."
Gu Shihong, the Minister of Rites, didn't look good.
As long as the assessment of the Supply and Marketing Department can be carried out in an orderly manner, it means that the Ministry of Rites will lack a key link to constrain the Supply and Marketing Department in the future.
From now on, the annual assessment of the Supply and Marketing Department will no longer be influenced by the Ministry of Rites and can be conducted internally.
This is not good news for the Ministry of Rites.
On the other side, Sheng Shiming, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also frowned. The Ministry of Rites was in charge of the assessment before allocating official positions, while the Ministry of Personnel was responsible for the annual merit examination of officials.
Whether an official can continue to be competent depends entirely on the leadership of the Ministry of Personnel.
But the Supply and Marketing Department is obviously about to be completely out of their control.
Geng Qingsong, Minister of War, chuckled and said,
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, things won't end so easily."
"It is almost impossible for Li Changan to establish the supply and marketing department by himself."
"There are so many things big and small, and he can't do it without our cooperation."
Tang Lu, the Minister of Punishment, also nodded in agreement,
"Yes, even if he established the Supply and Marketing Department, it would be impossible to implement the things he wanted to do without a nationwide effort to promote it."
"Even if he merges the former Wangfu Trading Company into the Supply and Marketing Department, what will happen?"
"As long as we refuse to cooperate, his supply and marketing department will only fall into a quagmire, and it will take a lot of energy to take a step forward."
"Unless his Supply and Marketing Department can use his own efforts to let all the people of Jin Dynasty help."
…
And on the other side,
Bailu Academy,
An Shitang found Zhao Hongshan, "The Imperial College has sent people over again. What do you think?"
Zhao Hongshan signaled An Shitang to be calm and calm, "Brother An, why are you anxious? That boy Li Changan refuses to agree, so can we still take him to the bridal chamber?"
"Besides, aren't you worried about your family's peaceful pearl?"
An Shitang snorted coldly, "Anyway, my conditions have been revealed. Unless you can beat me one day, don't even think about welcoming me to Nanzhi."
"I think he is determined to put Mrs. Liu in the position of his first wife, so let's waste it."
Zhao Hongshan couldn't help but pointed at An Shitang, "You really are getting more confused as you get older."
"If your Nan Zhi comes in earlier than Dugu Qing, even if she doesn't have enough status, the Dugu family won't make things difficult for her."
An Shitang shook his head helplessly, "That guy Li Chang'an won't let go. I'm afraid Dugu Qing won't be able to get in either. It's a pity."
Zhao Hongshan smiled and said, "We can't make a conclusion easily until the matter reaches the last minute."
"To be honest, between us and the Imperial College, the Imperial College is obviously begging us."
"Li Changan has great potential. Regardless of the future, Da Jin is currently on the list of literary saints, and he still relies on his poems every month to suppress his luck."
"Now the Supply and Marketing Department is also moving forward step by step. It won't be long before the road ahead will be smooth."
"So, I'm not in a hurry now. Good things come only in time."
An Shitang disagreed, "Don't be too optimistic. The Supply and Marketing Department seems to have taken the first step, but there are many difficulties ahead."
"After all, the foundation is too shallow and the power that can be mobilized is too little. It will not be easy to continue smoothly."
"Those short-sighted guys in the court are really useless."
Zhao Hongshan leaned on a Jianmu leaf that was larger than a human, "After all, it has touched their foundation in the secular world, hasn't it?"
"Money maintains their status and consolidates their official positions, so that they can continue to compete for the fortune of this land."
“Isn’t this how the opposition and separation between the academy and the imperial court evolved, deepened and solidified?”
"If it weren't for the academy's absolute advantage in terms of strength, I'm afraid the imperial court would have taken away most of the luck. After all, the operation of this world is ultimately maintained by the imperial court."
"Nowadays, there is a Li Changan who can subvert them. It would be fine if Li Changan took the initiative to integrate with them, but he wants to dig out their roots. They can't help but be excited."
An Shitang tilted his head, "You mean to regard this matter as a test for that boy?"
Zhao Hongshan smiled noncommittally, "Isn't that a bad idea? Who can say clearly about things in this world?"
"Our good days are coming to an end. If the next boys who inherit the academy are too weak, they will be disappointed."
Having said this, An Shitang's expression suddenly changed, "Have you noticed it too?"
Zhao Hongshan raised his head and cast his gaze towards the unknown sky above his head.
"In the Age of Ending Dharma, all dharma will perish. Some people want to become the last sage in this era and start the next era."
"The fate of this world has begun to be tainted with the flames of war."
He twitched his nose, "Do you smell it? The smell of war."
An Shitang smiled and shook his head, "You are still so virtuous."
"However, I'm afraid war is really coming."
"The luck in this world is like a raging fire cooking oil. Those who have the opportunity to achieve the holy path... can't sit still."
“I don’t know if our academy can survive in the end.”
Zhao Hongshan stood up and looked in the direction of the Supply and Marketing Department Yamen, "Isn't this the time to test these boys?"
"We are no longer here, and we have to rely on them to survive."
…
As the days passed, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense, almost stagnant.
All those who were opposed, those who were waiting and watching, or those who were supportive, all nervously focused their attention on the Supply and Marketing Department Yamen.
The establishment of the Supply and Marketing Department, which Li Changan personally presided over, had a great impact. Every bit of progress represented an unprecedented change.
On the eighth day of June, the examination paper marking was completed.
On the tenth day of June, the list of all those who passed the official position assessment and the government service assessment was quickly spread from the Supply and Marketing Department to the whole country.
June fifteenth,
The official appointment list was announced first, and all the personnel on the list were summoned to arrive at their respective prefectures on June 20 to receive a five-day reprimand.
…
One by one, one by one, the matters of the Supply and Marketing Department were carried out in an orderly manner.
Although the speed is a bit slower, there are no major flaws.
The forty or so people who took the lead in serving in the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department have been locked up in the Yamen by Li Changan during this period to ensure that all the files were memorized and used proficiently.
Before June 20, they will be assigned to various prefectures to maintain the operation of the local supply and marketing bureaus in the next year.
Local training also falls on them, so there must not be any problems.
June 18,
Li Changan looked at the forty or so people below and said, "If you make one mistake, the following people will make ten mistakes, so you must be proficient and proficient."
Then he pointed at Feng Buyi and others, "These seven people will form the Supervision Bureau of the Supply and Marketing Department in the next year, and they will go to various places for overt and covert inspections anytime and anywhere."
"Once a problem occurs, don't blame me for dealing with it sternly."
"Yes, sir." More than 40 people in the yard responded one after another.
Things have persisted until now, and they have gradually seen the light of day. How can they fall before dawn?
As long as you persevere, you will be able to achieve great success and reach the sky in one step.
I started out as a feudal official, but my future is bright.
Li Changan took out nineteen Sumeru treasure bags and asked Feng Buyi to distribute them, "Tomorrow, you will go to each city."
"After everyone is trained and performs their duties, I need to test the capabilities of the local supply and marketing bureaus."
"This is the first thing you have to do. Success or failure is directly related to your future."
"This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Once it is leaked, it will be punished without mercy."??
