After Zhu Maichen, Liu Che named several more bureaucrats. Tianlai Novel.|2
They are basically officials from the middle and lower levels. Most of them belong to the elite who were born and passed the exams but have no background or connections and have climbed to where they are today on their own.
Since they are elites, their answers are naturally not bad.
It even filled Liu Che with surprises.
For example, an official named Li Que from the Gongyang sect, who was probably a disciple of Hu Wusheng, created a very interesting political achievement.
This is also the reason why he was able to come to Gantang - this Mr. Li is the magistrate of Chaoge County, Hanoi County, and as we all know, Hanoi is the place where the Han Dynasty nobles are the most powerful and the rangers are the most rampant.
Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, the powerful families and knight-errant forces in Hanoi County have always been a lingering shadow on the country.
the reason is simple.
If there is nothing that local officials can do to deal with the wealthy families, knights and knights from other places, they can ask the state to take action and force them to relocate.
But that's not the case in Hanoi.
This place is one of the areas with the highest concentration of feudal lords and feudal lords of the Han Dynasty.
Hanoi prefecture controls 16 counties, and there are 11 princes!
Among them is Zhi County, the feudal state of Bo Rongnu, the younger brother of the Queen Mother Bo.
With so many nobles and nobles gathered here, not to mention the county magistrate and county lieutenant, even the county guard will probably have to weigh them.
What if you are not careful and offend that prince, and they give you small shoes?
Therefore, the problem of Hanoi County has always troubled the Han Dynasty. The country tried to rectify it several times, but always tried to avoid it.
Historically, it was not until the reign of Emperor Wu that Yi Zong and Wang Wenshu took over, and they could barely suppress the arrogance of Hanoi's tycoons and knights.
As for now...
The wealthy families and knight-errant forces here can only be said to cover the sky with one hand.
In places where wealthy families and knight-errants are powerful, a county magistrate can probably suppress and suppress them, but a small county magistrate obviously has little room to display his talents.
But this magistrate of Li Que Li broke this common sense.
The method he used was simple - promote rice.
This seems incredible - rice is a crop in the south, while wheat and millet are the masters of the north.
But the problem is that the geography and climate of Hanoi counties are indeed suitable for growing rice.
Moreover, after experimenting with rice cultivation, a very high yield was obtained - three times higher than that of corn and two times higher than that of wheat.
The average rice yield per mu has reached five stones!
Even Liu Che found it unbelievable when he first heard it. Although the rice yield is very high, it shouldn't be so high, right?
But the truth is - he didn't lie.
After reviewing the records of Da Nong, this is indeed the case.
If that's the case, then this person is just a lucky guy.
But the key to the problem is that after Li Que learned through experiments that rice could be grown in Chaoge and the yield was so high, he led the people to cultivate thousands of hectares of rice fields along the river.
You know, northern corn and wheat are not tolerant to waterlogging.
Therefore, the tidal flats and floodplains along the river have always been empty.
His move effectively expanded Chaoge's arable land area by one-third. Most importantly, it set a strong example for the entire Sanhe region.
And this county magistrate, Li Queli, has therefore become a model of cooperation between Hanoi's wealthy families, knights and the government - without the cooperation of the wealthy families and knights, how could he, a small county magistrate, have so many resources and organize so many things?
How many manpower are needed to cultivate so many paddy fields?
Another young man from Legalism also gave Liu Che a lot of surprises.
This young official from Taiyuan, under his rule, vigorously cleared out the land occupied by merchants, clearing tens of thousands of acres in one go. It can be said that he has achieved great achievements.
After questioning these young officials, Liu Che also had a clearer understanding of the current situation of the country.
Until he left Gantang and sat on the carriage ride to Maoling, Liu Che had been thinking and digesting what he had seen and heard today.
Zhang Tang was particularly curious and asked from the side: "Your Majesty, how does Zhu Sheng plan to solve the problem of monks, doctors and craftsmen?"
When Liu Che heard this, he smiled and handed the pamphlet to Zhang Tang.
When Zhang Tang took it and took a look, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
"This..." Zhang Tang put it down and sighed: "It's a bit shocking..."
"No..." Liu Che shook his head and said with a smile, "I think it's pretty good!"
"It is also very suitable for the current world..." Liu Che said: "You can't say that ugly people have no human rights... Besides, judging people by their appearance is biased..."
Currently, the Han Dynasty has always had a tradition, that is, do you want to be an official? OK! Look in the mirror first.
If you are ugly, don’t have straight facial features, or have a disability, then I’m sorry!
Historically, when Emperor Wu saw Gongsun Hong, his first impression was - what a handsome guy!
If Gongsun Hongchang was crooked, or even just average, Emperor Wu probably wouldn't be able to reuse him.
There is no way, in this world where faces are judged, being ugly is a sin.
Although Liu Che has always wanted to change this tradition, he is only an emperor, not a god, and he cannot cover everything.
Especially when it comes to selecting and appointing officials, to be honest, just being able to handle and select two thousand dan is already very hard work.
Even if he has a lot of heads and six arms, he can't deal with matters worth less than two thousand dan.
Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, thousands of people were rejected every year because of their appearance rather than their talent.
But now, Zhu Maichen is targeting these people who have no chance of officialdom because of their looks rather than their talents.
In his plan, all mentors will be recruited from these people as much as possible.
Moreover, as long as these people have worked in the local area for ten years without committing any bad deeds or breaking the law, they can be recommended by the government and enter official careers.
This can be regarded as opening a door for these poor people to change their own destiny.
Maybe there are Xi Zhicai and Pang Tong from the Western Han Dynasty among them.
As for the problem of doctors and blacksmiths, Zhu Maichen's solution is also very interesting.
Because these two kinds of talents are directly related to the local people, and both require a lot of practice to accumulate experience.
Therefore, Zhu Maichen planned to use two legs to push forward.
On the one hand, we need to discover and recruit relevant talents locally.
A county is so big that there are always some doctors and blacksmiths. Then, young, smart and studious young people are selected from the county and sent to study under these doctors and blacksmiths as official apprentices.
Then use rewards and punishments to encourage these people to educate and train the disciples they send.
On the other hand, the government came forward to organize a group of people to come to Lubanyuan and the Imperial Medical Office in Chang'an for further study and training, and requested Lubanyuan and the Imperial Medical Office to open a short-term training course.
It is similar to the model in the Andong Reclamation Group.
There is no need to teach them anything esoteric - just take a pulse, diagnose and prescribe medicine, identify herbs/repair and forge farm tools.
This technique can generally be taught in three to five months.
All we can say is that Zhu Maichen’s stay in Anton was not in vain!
This also strengthened Liu Che's determination to continue to implement the settlement regiment model.
