The news that the reclamation policy was approved in the third reading at the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting immediately spread throughout Chang'an City through various channels.
For a time, this matter became a hot topic of discussion among countless people on the streets.
Later, Liu Che made another decision, adding fuel to the fire.
Liu Che decided that the four hundred officials in the world could nominate themselves and choose to go to the reclamation regiments in Liaodong, Xinhua and North Korea to serve as prime ministers.
After retiring from office after five years, his performance has been satisfactory and he has not committed any crimes or crimes.
Automatically promoted to Qianshi Official.
You can choose to return to your place of origin and serve as county magistrate, county lieutenant, or county magistrate, or you can choose to stay there and serve as county magistrate.
This policy is basically a plagiarism of the Celestial Empire’s policy of aiding Tibet and Xinjiang cadres.
After the news came out, the entire officialdom of the Han Dynasty was immediately shaken.
Four hundred stones, this is the backbone of the grassroots officials of the Han Dynasty.
Most of them are assistant officials, such as Jiaofu and Youjiao. Before the examination and promotion policy, these assistant officials were basically ignored and their status was very embarrassing.
The aloof scholar-bureaucrats and aristocratic class called them "sword and pen officials", and their social status was not even as good as that of merchants.
At least the merchants have money...
After the examination, this situation changed.
Because, the nephews of scholar-bureaucrats have also become one of the four hundred stone "knife and pen officials".
If we continue to despise and despise this class, won’t we also fall into the trap ourselves?
Therefore, their social status has changed and they have become normal in the eyes of public opinion.
At the very least, it will never happen again in Guanzhong, where a certain nephew of a noble prince travels all the way to the mountains and rivers, staying at various inns in the pavilions, but treats the officials who provide them with accommodation and food with the same contempt as slaves.
What if the other party is also a relative of someone who is a prince's nephew or even a big shot?
Besides, what if, in the future, this humble person with four hundred stones becomes a giant with two thousand stones or even Jiuqing, and he looks back and wants to settle today's old score with himself?
Not everyone is the Marquis of Huaiyin, and if they suffer the humiliation of the crotch, they can let it go after becoming rich.
Therefore, the situation of Guanzhong Sibaishi is much better.
But that's all.
Many people with no backing, no background, or even those who have passed the examination, know very well that if a miracle does not happen, they will just be a poor man in this life, and they will probably get a county captain when they are old.
The comforting post of retirement.
Want to climb up?
Basically impossible!
But now, the imperial court is recruiting four hundred stone assistant officials who volunteer to go to the border.
But it gave these people a chance.
Is it worth spending five years of hard work to gain the status of a future county magistrate?
Of course it’s worth it! And it’s great value!
Especially for those old officials who have wasted several years or even ten years, this policy is like pie in the sky.
However, when they think of the Liaodong border, far away from their homeland and unfamiliar with the place, many people feel like shrinking back.
But there are also many people who think this is a God-given opportunity and sign up one after another.
During this period, the enterprising spirit of Chinese society was very strong.
Not to mention going to the border!
The price is set high enough, such as a reward for a prince, and there are adventurers who dare to venture into the American continent.
After Xiaozhu became wealthy to Zhang Qian, his diplomatic talent immediately exploded, as evidenced by the large number of adventurers heading to the Western Regions.
Zhu Maichen is a person with a very strong adventurous spirit.
After taking the exam last year, he was assigned to Yong County and served as a local farmer. Every day, he dealt with farmers and dealt with trivial daily matters.
This kind of life filled Zhu Maichen with a sense of crisis and urgency.
He is already in his forties and will soon become an old man.
Therefore, Zhu Maichen knew very well that he must seize every opportunity he could to climb up. No matter what price he paid or what hardship he endured, he must climb up.
Therefore, when he saw that the imperial court was recruiting officials who volunteered to go to the border areas, Zhu Maichen immediately signed up.
It takes five years to get an official position of one thousand dan, and another five years to get an official position of 2,000 dan.
This is the plan that Zhu Maichen has in mind, and it is also the goal of his current life.
He swore that he would return to his hometown in fine clothes and make a difference so that his fellow villagers, relatives and compatriots who once looked down on him and despised him would regret it!
After Zhu Maichen signed up, he went to Gongsun Hong, his only good friend in Guanzhong, and told him what he had signed up for.
Gongsun Hong was very surprised, but he could understand Zhu Maichen's decision.
Like Zhu Maichen, he was the older reference scholar among the scholars who took the examination last year.
They all come from poor families.
If the teacher hadn't had a high status and taken good care of him, I'm afraid he would have to consider whether to go to Liaodong and other places to make a fortune.
Under the arrangement of his teacher, Gongsun Hong's career went very smoothly.
Immediately after passing the examination, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Xinfeng County.
This is actually gold-plated. Who doesn’t know that Xinfeng is the benchmark for counties in Guanzhong?
The predecessor of Xinfeng, Zhang Tang, laid a very solid foundation for Xinfeng's development. Water conservancy facilities, waterwheels and other machinery were spread throughout the county, and most farmers had even made iron tools for their farming tools.
This means that any official in Xinfeng County can rest on his merits and wait for promotion as long as he does not act recklessly.
The same is true for Gongsun Hong.
After working in Xinfeng for half a year, he was quickly manipulated by his teacher and transferred back to Chang'an, where he entered the Neishi Yamen and learned to handle government affairs from Uncle Neishi Tian.
Although the official position is still 400 shi, what he does is still sorting out documents and copying official documents.
If nothing goes wrong, then when Taixue starts school next year, Gongsun Hong will follow his teacher to Taixue as his assistant. He will slowly accumulate fame by his side, and then, ten or twenty years later, he will take over as his teacher.
Hu Wusheng's banner became the leader of Gongyang School.
As for any big achievements in politics?
Gongsun Hong can't even think about it now.
Today, Confucianism is in decline and is facing hostility and suppression in Guanzhong.
With the power of the Confucian sect, it can only fully support and support Yan Yi to continue to rise to power. The remaining resources are simply not enough to create an official with two thousand dan.
There is also a consensus on this within Confucianism.
Everyone knows that today, when Legalism is flourishing, Mohism is making a comeback, and martial arts are becoming powerful.
The best choice for Confucians is still to keep a low profile and make a difference.
Quietly dormant, waiting for changes in the political situation in the future.
If the power structure of the court does not change, the main Confucian factions will not make any big moves.
The turmoil surrounding last year's examinations frightened all Confucian schools.
Many people are worried that if the various factions besiege the Confucian sect again, it is very likely that the Confucian sect will face a catastrophe.
Thinking about these things, Gongsun Hong also glanced at Zhu Maichen enviously.
Although his official career was broader than that of Zhu Maichen, he also had more things to shoulder.
The two chatted casually about some anecdotes about their time in Guanzhong until sunset, when Zhu Maichen was about to get up and leave.
Suddenly, outside the door, Gongsun Hong's concierge came over and reported: "Master, a distinguished guest is visiting..."
"Dear guest?" Gongsun Hong laughed strangely when he heard this.
In the city of Chang'an, the only people who can be called distinguished guests are two thousand shi from the princes.
But Gongsun Hong didn't know any nobles or giants at all.
Only his Hu Wusheng, with his title of Doctor of Two Thousand Stones in "Spring and Autumn", could talk to these giants.
The porter's voice trembled and he said excitedly: "Wei, it's the Prince Consort Du Wei Opera Duke!"
"Ju Meng!" Gongsun Hong immediately stood up straight and said quickly: "Please come quickly!"
Everyone in the world knows that even though I am hiding in my mansion, I have many close friends.
For example, Confucian hope and future, Yan Yi is one of them.
However, there is only one person who can really accompany the emperor day and night in the imperial court from beginning to end: Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort, Commander-in-Chief Hu Benwei, and former knight-errant giant Ju Meng!
From now on when he was just a prince, the general who is now in charge of half of Weiyang Palace's security guard has been serving the emperor.
Although later, countless people climbed onto Ju Meng's head.
The grades, official system and titles of Zhang Tang, Ji An, Yan Yi and even Yi Zong all surpassed Ju Meng's.
But anyone who really understands the political arena knows that in reality, Ju Meng's status as Prince Consort, Commander-in-Chief, has never changed.
What's more, he also controls the armed force of the Tiger Guards.
Just the three words Hubenwei were enough for Ju Meng to gain his place in the political arena of the Han Dynasty.
When Gongsun Hong first came to Chang'an, he sent a letter to him, hoping to meet Ju Meng, and he had a dream to gain his appreciation, and then introduce him to you, and achieve a blockbuster dream.
Gongsun Hong never imagined that Ju Meng would come to visit him in person one day.
This made Gongsun Hong a little confused. (To be continued.)
