After reading through the ten chapters of "Pingbiance", the ones Liu Chengyou likes the most are of course those written by Wang Pu and Wang Pu. The other eight chapters are mostly used to set off these two, and they are basically commonplaces about keeping the people healthy and improving their health. Junde, armor repairing soldiers and so on.
It's not that the literati of the Han Dynasty only had this little "insight", it's just that the questions Liu Chengyou asked were too big and it was a palace examination. Such answers were stable enough that people couldn't make big mistakes. This is about the future and the impression on the emperor. When it comes to big things, if you don't have extraordinary talents, insights and strategies, you will rarely make any amazing remarks.
Wang Pu's policy was almost as unexpected as Liu Chengyou's. The argument was very clear, first south and then north, first easy and then difficult. However, what changed was that this time he limited the south to "Huainan" and the north to "Yanshan". "Compared with the north-south strategy of Zhao, Song, and Nanping, and the north and south of the Han Dynasty, it was probably only similar in appearance.
Moreover, Wang Pu also emphasized that no troops should be mobilized within three years. He said a lot, but in summary, he suggested farming well.
Perhaps it is due to the influence of the pearls and jade, or the influence of the inherent impression, Wang Pu's writings always feel weaker, which is obviously a psychological effect. Excluding the argumentative rhetoric, Wang Pu's writings are not as good as Liu Chengyou's. There are too many novelties, but it also points out a clear strategic route.
Defend Khitan in the north, capture Huainan in the southeast, recover Qin Feng in the west, then send troops northward to recapture Yanyun, then send troops southward to flatten the countries in the south, and then launch a northern expedition to the north of Lingnan to destroy Khitan.
First south, then west, north, then south, then north. The blueprint is ambitious, the ambition is commendable, and it is also feasible. It is still very popular with Liu Chengyou. However, compared to the vision, Liu Chengyou cares more about the present, and Wang Park also described the close-up scenes more clearly and more convincingly.
After weighing the situation, Liu Chengyou still chose Wang Pu as the top pick. Of course, in Liu Chengyou's eyes, there is not much difference between being the top pick. They are all talents worthy of reuse. When he picked Wang Pu, he should give him a top pick based on his age. Consolation prize.
After the court lectured and encouraged those "old and young" candidates who were taking the exam, the imperial examination came to an end. The age span of the people who took the exam this time was particularly large, and the candidates, like Wang Pu, were already in their forties. Two years old, the youngest is only in his early twenties.
"Except Wang Pu and Wang Pu, all the scholars at the highest level will be assigned to three divisions, six departments and censors according to their strengths, starting from the appointment of deputy officials to fill the vacancies in various government offices!" At the end of the day, Liu Chengyou summoned all the officials. The Prime Minister and the Minister gave a serious instruction to the arrangements of the Disciples: "Since Yang Qing has judged the official department, this matter will be left to you to take charge of. Well, Feng Qing is highly respected and has a reputation for knowing people, so he can assist you!"
"Yes!" Yang Yan did not respond, but Feng Dao responded proactively.
Yang Bin glanced at Liu Chengyou with some surprise. Everyone knew that the emperor valued the examination of scholars, but he himself did not believe that his placement would be handed over to him.
Paying attention to Liu Chengyou's gaze, he saw it was as calm as a clear water, and nothing could be seen. However, no matter what Liu Chengyou's thoughts were, he was stunned for a moment, but still responded with a calm attitude.
Liu Chengyou didn't have particularly complex thoughts, he just felt that while Yang Bin could still do things, he should just let him do it. The most unbearable thing for Liu Chengyou about Yang Bin was that he was arrogant and bullied his subordinates, but this person's ability to do things was... Liu Chengyou didn't have much doubt.
As for taking advantage of the opportunity to win people's hearts and plot evil, Liu Chengyou is not so scrupulous now. Yang Bin had promoted so many relatives and friends in and outside the court, but they were all within Liu Chengyou's control. And if he really had any violations, The behavior is just as true as the words.
"All scholars who have reached the rank will be evaluated for promotion or demotion within half a year according to their ability to do things. Tell those scholars not to feel humble and do more practical things. I have high expectations for them!" Liu Chengyou looked at Feng. Tao said.
"I obey!"
For these scholars, Liu Chengyou certainly could not appoint them to important positions as soon as they came up. The court needed fresh blood and was short of officials, but what it lacked was talents who could do things. These scholars who passed the high school entrance examination passed the assessment , it just proves that he has qualifications, and his specific ability to do things has yet to be investigated. On this point, Liu Chengyou is very clear-headed.
Originally, Liu Chengyou planned to conduct centralized training for these more than 100 people, but considering the actual situation, he decided to investigate based on actual facts and use them for convenience. As for the "Central Party School", it is left to the future, when the country has the conditions. Expanded again.
"Disgraced scholar, how many of them are still in Beijing?" After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked.
Liu Chengyou's question made people a little confused, but Tao Gu took the initiative to answer: "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
Taking a look at Tao Gu, who was full of respect, he saw that this guy was really smart. Liu Chengyou said, "Go and make a report. Any scholar who falls in the capital can be registered in Kaifeng Mansion. The Ministry of Officials will appoint them as county or town officials at their discretion." !”
"When the imperial court is short of talent, anyone with skills can be used."
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!
Tao Gu reacted quickly and said with admiration on his face: "Your Majesty is kind and kind. Although a person who has been defeated has no fame, he can still be a civil servant in the county or town government office, which is more than enough."
Liu Chengyou waved his hand, and he knew very well that there were only a few scholars who were willing to work as swordsmen and pen officials in counties and towns. Most of them would rather go back to their hometowns and continue studying hard.
Zhao Shanggao heard this and quickly raised this issue.
Liu Chengyou thought for a while and then added directly: "Those who have registered can continue to refer to the tribute examination in the coming year, and those sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs will also take the examination every half a year, and priority will be given to promotion!"
What Liu Chengyou wants is not just a group of scholars. If you can only write poems and poems, it will not be as useful to the country and the court as imagined. If you are not accustomed to common affairs, at least in the current dynasty, you will not be very high. room for development.
Of course, even for those scholars, if they have grassroots experience with swords and pens, it will be of great benefit in taking exams to obtain honors in the future. In the future tribute assessment, in addition to the traditional scriptures and poems, it will only be closer to practice. , policy theory, pay more attention to details.
If a smart person understands this, then the chance of passing the tribute examination next year will be much higher.
"In this election, Qing Zhao and Tao have taken charge of all the affairs. They have done a lot of hard work and raised talents for the country. This job is very popular with me! You should be rewarded according to your merits!" Liu Chengyou said in a relaxed tone as he raised his head and looked around.
"I don't dare to take credit!" Hearing this, both of them perked up, and Tao Gu looked at Liu Chengyou expectantly.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Pass it on, promote Zhao Shangshu to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, judge the affairs of Zhao Wenguan, reward ten pieces of silk, and one hundred thousand yuan; use Tao Gu as the secretary of the Zhongshu, know the imperial edicts, and reward them together." !”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" They all thanked each other.
The material rewards are really stingy, but there is no way. The treasury is not rich, and Wang Zhang would like to split his son and become two envoys. How can Liu Chengyou spend money lavishly, so he has to be generous in his official position and power. .
Originally, Liu Chengyou planned to let Zhao hand over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites directly to make it worthy of the name. However, considering that Su Yugui also served as an errand of the Ministry of Rites and had been keeping a low profile recently and had not made any mistakes, it was not easy to seize his power without reason.
As for Tao Gu, who succeeded Fan Zhi, Liu Chengyou had other considerations and appointments for Fan Zhi.
