The news that the Langzhou army had effortlessly captured Yizhou City quickly spread back to the Langzhou capital.
Lin Jinxiao also deliberately asked the sergeant to bring a letter to Chu Nanzhi. The most important content of the letter was about the appointment and dismissal of officials in Pingning, Langzhou and Yizhou.
Nowadays, there is a war in Beijing and central China, but the government affairs of various states cannot be neglected.
Lin Jinxiao's letter clearly stated that he wanted her to assist in the selection of officials in Langzhou. In fact, Chu Nanzhi could not tell that this guy was worried that he would really remove Tan Qing.
On this day, Chu Nanzhi had just stood up and washed up. He was slowly walking out of the backyard with his big belly being supported by Xiaobao, Lin Jinhui and others. He saw Tan Qing kneeling at the end of Langfang in plain clothes, holding an official hat in his hand, waiting.
With the arrival of Chu Nanzhi.
"Shi Tan Qingte, the governor of Xianguan Lang, came to resign and apologize to the princess."
Seeing Chu Nanzhi approaching, Tan Qing put down his official uniform with both shame and admiration, and knelt down to her devoutly.
"Lord Changshi's words are serious."
Chu Nanzhi didn't expect this guy to be so honest and honest, so he quickly asked the Chu sisters to help him up.
"The official is willing to admit defeat. The princess keeps her word. Her Highness even entered Yizhou one day early. The official admires her very much. From now on, she is willing to serve the princess in front of her."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tan Qing finished speaking, the voices of the two elders came from the yard:
"Sir Chang Shi is a rare talent in Langzhou. If you are asked to serve the princess in her daily life, it would be a bit of an indignity. Even if the princess agrees, we two old guys cannot agree."
When he came forward, Nie Huai'an stared at Chu Nanzhi dumbfounded, thinking about the tricks she had used, and said angrily: "Girl, it's so hard for you to hide this from everyone."
"I'm really sorry for giving you a false alarm."
Chu Nanzhi smiled coquettishly: "It's just a matter of military secrets. His Highness has just settled in Langzhou, so he has to hide many things from the two elders and everyone. Please don't blame Tan Changshi and the other elders."
After saying that, he looked at Tan Qing deeply: "Langzhou still needs wise men like Tan Changshi to govern in order to ensure the safety of the people in each county. I would like to ask Mr. Changshi to temporarily take over the post of governor of Langzhou.
Preside over the overall situation of Langzhou."
"this"
Tan Qing was deeply surprised by this and looked at the two elders flattered.
"Brother Tan, there is no need to refuse. His Highness left a message before he left. Now that Commander-in-Chief Rong Heng is marching north with his army, Lao Chan and Mr. Nie are also old. You are the only one worthy of the great responsibility."
Chang Yanjue looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, and sighed longly: "However, the princess's advice a few days ago, Tan Changshi, must be kept in mind and sent to all counties. Today's empire is no longer what it used to be. I, Dahe
Since the founding of the empire, the empire has governed the country with benevolence for hundreds of years, but now that the people's hearts are unstable, the law must be stricter, and the people's customs cannot be allowed to continue to be lax."
“Only by governing the country with leniency in prosperous times and with strictness in troubled times can the government be stabilized.”
Chu Nanzhi smiled slightly at him: "In prosperous times, you must convince the people with benevolence so that they can live and work in peace and contentment; but in troubled times, you should use heavy laws to suppress riots, so that the whole country can operate normally and orderly."
This principle is like when in school, when the class is very noisy, the teacher will often bang the table, glare or even punish the students to maintain order.
But when everyone in the class cooperates with the teacher, the teacher will often teach interesting extracurricular knowledge and tolerate everyone's minor problems.
Tan Qing felt that he had benefited a lot and sighed: "After hearing the princess's words, I will be enlightened. In the future, I must remember the princess's teachings today and live up to the trust of your highness, the princess and the two elders, and I will definitely govern Langzhou smoothly."
, help His Highness create another glorious empire."
"Based on what Mr. Chang Shi said, I believe that Langzhou will become another grand scene in the near future."
Chu Nanzhi's eyes were full of joy.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chang Lao and Nie Lao already had the idea of saying goodbye: "Da Zhi, we two old guys have been accompanying you all over the country for several months, and now it's time to return to Luyan Port.
The master wife is looking forward to our return."
"I know that I miss my master dearly, but now I'm afraid I have to trouble my two teachers to stay in Langzhou with their students."
Chu Nanzhi looked out of the courtyard with twinkling eyebrows and replied with a smile: "Two elders, please see who I have brought to you."
Chang Lao Nie turned around and saw Ji Huazhen and Cui being quietly led into the courtyard by Tang Weiming.
"What are you doing?"
Chang Lao and Nie Lao looked at each other, unable to conceal their excitement, and stared blankly at the two ladies approaching step by step.
"Nowadays, noble families from all over the country have monopolized official careers for a long time, leaving countless students from poor families with no hope of entering the court. This Langzhou is a thousand-year-old ancient city in Zhongzhou, so I brought my two masters and wives here. I wanted to use this place as a pilot and asked the two elders to stay in Langzhou to help Tan
Your Majesty, please reform the method of official promotion, abolish the practice of recommendation and promote scientific examination, and let Langzhou students compete fairly to obtain official career."
"Scientific examination?"
Chang Yanjue was suddenly interested in this idea, and ignored Ji Huazhen who came forward, and asked excitedly: "If the competition can be fair, this is indeed a good way to re-appoint officials, but I don't know how you are going to operate it, Da Zhi?"
"Mr. Chang, please take a look."
Chu Nanzhi unhurriedly took out a booklet from her arms and handed it to Chang Yanjue.
This is the essence that she came up with while idle at home these days, combining the imperial examination system that had been passed down for thousands of years in her era with the modern college entrance examination.
After all, the categories she is familiar with are limited, and it is impossible to implement the modern college entrance examination model, but for selecting officials, it is much more advanced than the current recommendation system.
"Chang Lao, Mr. Nie can discuss with the state officials and make improvements if there are any deficiencies."
Chu Nanzhi knew that when he abolished the old and brought out the new, he would be blocked. Just like last year, the land equalization policy that he and the pretty boy discussed together was opposed by many aristocratic families.
The pretty girl asked her to assist in the selection of officials in Langzhou Prefecture. She naturally did not want to use the old method of recommending officials to appoint officials.
This will only allow the noble families to monopolize officialdom again.
It’s just that although the official selection system that I have sorted out now can win the support of many students from poor families, it will undoubtedly also affect the interests of wealthy families. Therefore, it must first be recognized by the great scholars of the world like Chang Lao and Nie Lao before it can be slowly implemented.
Come.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie only flipped through a few pages and became very interested in the strategies she stated.
Chang Lao stroked his beard excitedly, nodded thoughtfully and said: "We set up Ming Jing, Ming Dharma, Ming Su and other subjects, established township schools, county schools, held township examinations, provincial examinations, palace examinations, and selected and assessed candidates at all levels.
official."
"This is a good idea."
Nie Huaian smiled slowly and said: "In this way, the appointment and dismissal of officials will be determined by the Gong Yuan assessment, which directly avoids the interference of aristocratic families."
"Let's go and study it carefully."
Chang Yanjue felt as if he had acquired something rare. For the first time, Chang Yanjue couldn't wait to drag Nie Huaian and Tan Qing to the government office, leaving behind the two ladies who had just come from afar.
"These two old guys really disown each other when it comes to court affairs."
Ms. Cui curled her lips angrily.
"Grandma, our mother has made a lot of jasmine shrimp and tofu soup recently, and it is delicious. Can I take you to try it?"
Sibaolin Ruijia was afraid that the two masters and grandmothers would vent their anger on her mother, so she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
"This season is when jasmine is in full bloom. The students have been thinking about the jasmine shrimp and tofu soup that my husband made last year. I have been researching and making some of it these days. It happens that the ice cellar in Langzhou Prefecture has excellent storage effects. I
I made a lot of it yesterday and stored it overnight. It will be delicious to eat now. The two ladies are very tired from the journey, so come with me to the house to use some."
Chu Nanzhi and Xiao Sibao smiled and blinked, then invited the two junior wives to enter the inner courtyard in a hurry.
