After Li Dongdong's review, there are three most important things to do in the Chu State now: one is land, the second is the rectification of rented ports in various parts of Nanyang, and the third is pirates.
Li Dongdong had a plan for the land matter. Li Dongdong said: "Liangzhou and Annan and Zhenla are bordering. Zhenla and Annan are both enemies. In recent years, they have been attacking continuously. Annan is now seriously damaged, but because
The endless war has put Annan and Zhenla in an end. For example, in order to raise military expenses, Annan and Zhenla have borrowed more than 500,000 taels of silver from Jubao Money House, in order to raise military expenses, they have borrowed more than 500,000 taels of silver from Jubao Money House.
In addition to the interest, the old debt has not been paid, and new debts have to be added. I am afraid that even the annual interest will not be paid. Weichen means that the money bank should collect the accounts and prohibit them from giving them loans.
If I really can't pay it back, I just used the land to offset it."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said thoughtfully: "But if you force them to submit, it will take some effort. This matter cannot be urgent. The Lone King's throne ceremony must be prepared as soon as possible. This is a grand event.
But don’t make any mistakes. The Lone King’s meaning is not as good as using this ceremony to invite the monarchs of various countries in Southeast Asia to watch the ceremony. As for this matter, it can only be discussed during the throne. How about it?”
Li Dongdong smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, the court has asked our Chu State to guard the Nanyang. This time, it happened to use the ceremony to establish the prestige of our Great Chu."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say: "As for the ports rented in various parts of Nanyang, it should be rectified. The Lone King meant that the merchants would transfer all the rented land and ports to our Da Chu name. Let's take jurisdiction.
After all, a business bank has its limitations.”
Li Dongdong couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He said, "Sir, this is not appropriate. There are so many enclaves, and how many officials need to manage them. What we are most embarrassed about now is the problem of manpower. We only have so many manpowers now...
”
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "What we want to talk about next is the affairs of officials. The court has imperial examinations to select scholars. Our great Chu must also have a way to recruit talents, right?"
Li Dongdong nodded, then smiled bitterly, saying, "I have thought of some solutions, but I always feel that it doesn't work. There are many merchants in Chu, but there are some scholars, lawyers, accountants and some ordinary scholars, but after all, they are not what they are.
Compared with those scholars in the Celestial Empire, this knowledge is far inferior to that of those scholars in the Celestial Empire. It is a very inappropriate thing to give him an official position easily.”
Liu Chengfeng said: "Then you might as well use a solution."
Seeing Liu Chengfeng's confident look, Li Dongdong couldn't help but cheer up and said, "Please give me some advice."
Liu Chengfeng said: "Why not to be admitted to the official exam?"
"Take the official?"
Li Dongdong couldn't help but stayed stunned for a moment.
Then Li Dongdong disagreed. He only heard of the scholars who were admitted to the exam, but this was the first time he heard of the officials who were admitted to the exam. After all, in the Heavenly Kingdom, officials were a cheap career, not a very glamorous profession, and were always despised by scholars.
If it spreads, wouldn’t those scholars still make jokes? Besides, what Chu State lacks now is obviously not officials but officials. Officials are just like servants. Wouldn’t Zhang Gebang come? Why do you need to mobilize a large number of troops like this?
Seeing Li Dongdong's puzzled look, Liu Chengfeng patiently explained: "It must be that Mr. Li was wrong about Gu Wang's meaning. The officials mentioned by Gu Wang were not ordinary officials, but officials who could become officials in the future."
Li Dongdong couldn't help but say in surprise: "Can this official still be an official?"
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, any era has its limitations, so he introduced the civil service system that was born in the imperial examination in later generations, and then began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this system: "The imperial examination only selects scholars, but is an ordinary minor official.
But they are all considered low-key business. The court refused to even issue salaries, and often they were hired by officials privately. In this way, most of the servants and minor officials were ignorant. To put it bluntly, these people even had the king's laws.
I don’t know that it can actually manage the people under the rule of officials, so many minor officials commit crimes and are unscrupulous. This is one of them.”
"The small officials are of different quality, and there is no hope of promotion, so the court does not recognize their identities at all, which leads to them being unfair. Without hope of promotion, people will naturally lose their candles, so these people will besides
In addition to serving officials, they often do things in the countryside."
"But if you pass the exam, it will be different. Once the exam is held, this is the official recognized by the government and there are some restrictions. In addition, these people are all scholars, and people understand after reading books.
With the law of the king, we will not do anything wrong, at least we will have a little more face. Secondly, they are slowly honing in the government, and have knowledge, and gradually become familiar with affairs, and can be promoted step by step. Their methods of governing are at least comparable to those of them.
Those masters who usually only know how to be superior are better. Otherwise, they will only seek out scholars who are very knowledgeable as officials. Such people are not down-to-earth and have empty talks all day long. What's the use of asking them? Instead, it's better to let these knowledge be some of them.
It is better for people who are experienced and familiar with the inside story to be an official."
"Of course, doing so can also solve the problem of appointing private individuals. Often, when someone becomes an official, he will arrange some distant relatives to listen to the wrongdoers in the yamen. This is not a good thing. But once the examination is held, it is completely different. If you don't go through the exam, you want to enter the official government.
It won't work, this will eliminate the appointment of private individuals."
Liu Chengfeng's truth is quite clear. Although Liu Chengfeng knows better than anyone else, the official examination has its disadvantages, but compared with the scholar examination in this era, Li Dongdong is serious.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there was some truth.
Liu Chengfeng continued: "The reason why the Heavenly Kingdom did not pass the exam was because scholars were self-reliant and often disdained to minor officials. But in our Chu State, it was different. Scholars could keep accounts for merchants and become lawyers.
Why can't you be an official? Everything is inferior. Only the saying that reading is high is not wrong, but because you are more obedient than the top after reading, you are more obedient than the top and are only focused on becoming an official. This is a big mistake.
The king understands the meaning today. In the future, the officials from all over the State of Chu do not rely on how much knowledge you have. This is just the first step in measuring the standard. With knowledge, you must also be able to listen to others and manage them.
Only when you have a street or a village experience can you give it to the black saint by reading a few books of sages. This is too frivolous. Now the conditions of Chu State are the best to get the exam, after all, the place is not big.
, The population is also concentrated, and it is convenient to get through the exam. What does Mr. Li think?"
Although he has become a monarch and a minister, Liu Chengfeng still calls Li Dongdong Mr.
Many of Liu Chengfeng's words were agreed with Li Dongdong. He had never experienced the imperial examinations, and had seen many officials who were not down-to-earth and even had the knowledge in the book to apply reality to the knowledge of the book. These people learned knowledge.
It's excellent, but it's a bit unrestrained. Liu Chengfeng denied those officials who came from the imperial examinations at once, which was equivalent to giving Li Dongdong a name. After all, he is now in charge of politics, but in the future, Chu State will be admitted to the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination.
, Then many officials who came out of the imperial examination will inevitably be a little contemptuous of him, the Shangguan. It would be better to be a candidate for the examination. What's wrong with minor officials? Li Dongdong started with a clerk. If he hadn't had this experience
Now that Li Dongdong is giving him the big business of Chu State, he will surely be stunned.
"Since your highness has spoken, I naturally strongly agree. I just want to start the exam, but there are some troubles, such as how to get the test questions out, and the rules of the exam must always be measured as soon as possible."
Liu Chengfeng pondered and said, "Of course we need to take some of the Four Books and Five Classics. We cannot criticize others for not respecting Confucius. I still admire Confucius and have read his books, but I cannot It is better to use the Four Books and Five Classics to recruit scholars. This is worse than this. There are two types of examinations. The first type of examination recruits civil servants, the Four Books and Five Classics account for 50%, while the rest are mathematics, law, etc. The second type of examination recruits military officials and will be replenished in the future. As an officer, police and inspector, the Four Books and Five Classics can account for 20%, the Laws and the Calculation of 10%, and the Other 40% must check whether his body is strong and take the exam to ride and shoot."
Liu Chengfeng stroked the Liuliu desk with his hand and continued: "In short, this exam must start as soon as possible. You can raise this matter. You can teach people to register tomorrow. As for the test questions, you can think carefully about the government and others.
, inform the newspapers and pass the news immediately."
Li Dongdong nodded, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Nowadays, he actually needs the Four Books and Five Classics as a minor official, as well as the law and mathematics. If he starts the examination and then promotes officials from the officials to the court,
I wonder how many people's big teeth will be laughed out.
However, Li Dongdong has been following Liu Chengfeng for a long time and does not have the temper of a scholar who is conservative. Since this method sounds good, you might as well try it. What he is actually most afraid of is that there are not many people willing to sign up at that time, which is even more exciting.
It was a joke. Thinking of this, Li Dongdong couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, since the conditions and threshold required by the minor officials are much higher than before, can the salary allocated to them be paid as high as possible in the future? After all, they have it.
Even if a person with knowledge does not become a minor official, he can still eat idle food in any place. If his salary is too low, he is afraid that he will not accept it."
Although it is exciting to have the opportunity to become an official in the future, this thing is too long and has no real benefits. Why do you have to take the exam to be a minor official? Li Dongdong means that the salary is at least comparable to that in a workshop.
The recruited scholars are at a higher price.
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "You will also customize the salary. In short, after three or five days, I will look at the examination process and the charter of the officer level. You should do your best to do it." (Unfinished
