Li Qi's methods are really too many. Since he dares to say this, he must be very sure that Hu Yi can't answer. If this is the case, then Hu Yi will show his incompetence in front of the emperor. This is a minister.
A big taboo is that you can't let the emperor see your weaknesses, otherwise, your future will be in jeopardy. After all, the emperor is only a human being, and most of his judgments are subjective.*
This Hu Yi was Qin Hui's confidant. Of course Qin Hui would not let Li Qi succeed, so he also pulled Zheng Yi out.
Zheng Yi was innocently shot again, so helpless!
Sample! If you fight with me, you are still far behind. Seeing Qin Hui stand up, Li Qi stopped talking and continued: "Even the Minister of the Ministry of Finance may not be able to answer it, let alone others? It can be seen from this that
, this skill has specialization, the phenomenon of economic envoys does exist, the Commerce Bureau can only lower the standards to recruit people, but the Commerce Bureau is related to the new law, and is related to the most important financial revenue of our Song Dynasty. Talents appear in such an important department.
If the court turns a blind eye to the shortage, wouldn't it be an act of deception?"
Zheng Yi thought to himself, I am standing here well. In order to protect your own people, Qin Hui actually dragged me out to belittle me. If I don't fight back, how will others look at me? After thinking about this, he also stood up and said
:'Your Majesty, this phenomenon actually exists in our Third Division. Now a new currency is about to be issued. However, we earned a lot of silver from foreign trade last year. Currency exchange has always been the most troublesome issue for our Third Division. Talents in this area
It is really lacking, even the humble minister is still slightly deficient, and I have been asking the privy envoy for advice recently."
Didn't you Qin Hui say that I am incompetent? Then I will admit that I am incompetent. If you have the ability, find some powerful people to come over.
When Qin Hui saw Zheng Yi standing up, he really wanted to die. Although he had many people, they were key departments that affected the operation of the entire country. The court could not let it go, but the problem was that
How to manage?
Zhao Kai was silent for half a minute, glanced at it, and sighed: "Talent, talent, since I came to the throne, I have constantly emphasized the importance of this talent. I have always been recruiting talented people. I never expected that this kind of talent would still appear."
Condition."
Li Qidao: "Wei Chen thinks this has nothing to do with the emperor, but is caused by the system. The shortage of talents only targets a certain type of talents. The Hanlin Academy has never said that it is short of manpower. This is because there are many talents who are not valued by the court."
, which leads to the shortage of talents in this field.”
Zhao Kai said: ‘Then what do you think should be done?”
Li Qidao: ‘The imperial court will cultivate whatever talents it needs.”
‘How to cultivate?”
"Examination!"
When Li Qi said these two words, the ministers' faces twitched unconsciously, and they heard him say again: "We ministers often hear people educating their children and saying that they should read useful books."
Zhao Kai said: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"This statement is not wrong in itself, but the mistake is that they only regard books related to scientific examinations as useful books, and the rest are useless books." Li Qi said: "If you want to cultivate talents in other fields, it is not the same as the imperial court.
Zhang Guizhi can solve it. What is the purpose of being a scholar? It is not to enter the court and become an official. At present, the only way is scientific examination. Therefore, if the court wants to obtain talents in other fields, it must add this knowledge to the scientific examination.
go."
His tone was very calm, but in other people's ears it was like a bolt from the blue.
This is a drastic reform of the scientific examination. Why has Confucianism dominated the thinking of the Han people for thousands of years? The most important thing is that the scientific examination tests all Confucian knowledge, so when scholars first come into contact with the school, the first thing they learn is Confucianism.
Your appetite is too big. If Qin Hui had known about this disaster, even if Zhao Kai wanted to give Yu Yunwen a top prize just now, he would have strongly agreed. This would not be easily accomplished by Li Qi, so he quickly said: "The Privy Council has sent this
His words were a bit radical. Scientific examinations are the foundation of the country. How can they be changed at will? Wei Chen suggested that we should slowly and slowly start to open some colleges similar to Taishi College to train talents in other fields for the imperial court. When the time is right, then
Let’s discuss.”
"This is a method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause."
Bai Qiannuo immediately retorted: "The Privy Council has made it very clear just now that what is lacking in various industries today are not ordinary people, but geniuses in various fields. However, the whole world is devoted to scientific examinations, resulting in top talents in other fields.
Very few."
Then she saluted Zhao Kai and said: "Your Majesty, I think that teaching is teaching, and governing is governing. They cannot be confused. Reading is studying, and governing the country is governing the country. Reading cannot be regarded as governing the country. People in the world read books in the world, and choose their own.
Read books that you are interested in and choose books that you are good at. This is a true scholar. Although some books are not considered knowledge of statecraft, they are still books and can educate people. If you can master them, you can also have a great future. You can also have a good future.
It benefits the country and the people. Our dynasty often regards Qin Shihuang's burning of books and the humiliation of Confucianism as tyranny, but people do not read the books of the world, so how is it different from burning them? Are they accusing them of burning books or humiliating Confucians?"
Bai Qiannuo is not as smooth as Li Qi. She directly targets Confucianism. If others burn your books, it is tyranny. It is natural for you to change your rules and burn other books. What kind of rule is this? And she proposed
A very important idea is that education and governance must be separated. They are not the same thing at all.
"well said."
Chen Dong suddenly stood up and said: "It's a book for the world. If people don't read it again, how is it different from burning it? Economics has made Chen Dong a great talent." Then he said to Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister.
In support of the economic policy, teaching and governance should go hand in hand, rather than being combined into one. Each kind of knowledge has its own use. People in the world read books from all over the world. As for what books to read, that is the choice of the scholar. The court only needs to consider its talents.
Just hire them. Only in this way will there be no shortage of talents."
He is a typical person who is right about things but not people. He will stand on whatever side is right. This is why he can stand here.
Tsk tsk, people nowadays have become smarter, and each one talks faster than the other. After working on it for a long time, there is no room for me to play, so let me finish it.
Li Qi smiled and said: "President Li said something very right before. Seek governance in prosperous times, and seek strength in troubled times. But today's situation is one of internal and external chaos. To be righteous, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. I
I don't deceive others, but that doesn't mean that others won't deceive me. We formed a maritime alliance with the Jin Kingdom at the beginning, and the alliance letter and oath are all there. We also gave them a lot of money, begged them nicely, and coaxed them.
But what did we get? Thousands of iron hoofs trampled the Yellow River and surrounded me in Kaifeng. I tried hard to use the words of various saints to influence the Jin soldiers. But the result was the Jin army's iron hoofs and scimitars, which were as iron as steel.
The facts have told us very well that today’s knowledge can only govern the country, but cannot strengthen the country. If you want not to be bullied, you must first strengthen yourself, and the court should also seek a way to strengthen the country.”
He can be said to know Zhao Kai best, and he also knows which one of Zhao Kai's most sensitive nerves is Jin Guo.
Sure enough, when Zhao Kai heard this, his hands on the table gradually clenched into fists, his eyes shot out two rays of light, and he murmured: "The way to strengthen a country. The way to strengthen a country."
Now that both sides have said almost everything they need to say, Qin Hui can't find any reason to object and can only wait for Zhao Kai's decision.
But Confucianism is always orthodox, and it is related to the dominance of the emperor. Zhao Kai is not confused. He knows that what Li Qi and others say is right. A country needs more than just talents for governing. There are also talents in many aspects, but
It was not easy to find a middle ground between the two. He had to think about it. He had a gloomy face. After a while, he just said lightly: "This matter is not a trivial matter. I still have to think about it."
Qin Hui breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhao Kai would be angered by Li Qi for a moment and agreed. Jun Wu said that if the emperor agreed, it would be a done deal. If Zhao Kai said that he had to consider it, there would be some maneuvers.
There is no room for it. In fact, he has already been at a disadvantage in the situation just now. This result is already the best for him.
Bai Qiannuo and others looked a little discouraged when they heard this, but Li Qi kept smiling. He knew Zhao Kai very well. A wise king would not make an immediate decision on such a major matter. He really regarded national affairs as such.
It's child's play.
Zhao Kai was also confused and had a headache now. He had no intention of further discussion and waved his hand and said: "Dismiss the court."
After saying this, he stood up and left without waiting for the officials to salute.
There were so many helpers, but he was still a little uncomfortable, and he didn't even feel thirsty. Li Qi did not ask the eunuch to make a cup of tea to quench his thirst like before. When the ministers exited the hall, he lowered his eyebrows when he saw Yu Qi.
He stood in the middle with his head bowed, motionless, as if in trance. He was slightly stunned, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Deputy Supervisor Yu, are you okay?"
Yu Qi was startled suddenly and raised his head, only to see that his face was covered with beads of sweat and there was a big wet mark on the front of his clothes. It was still spring, and today's spring was also very cold. This amount of sweat could be imagined.
Know.
Li Qi raised his eyebrows in fright and said, "Deputy Superintendent Yu, are you okay?"
"Gulu!"
Yu Qi made a muffled sound in his throat and said in a trembling voice: "The Emperor---The Emperor is gone?"
"I left a long time ago." Li Qi chuckled again: "How does it feel to enter the palace and talk?"
Yu Qi shook his head dully and said: "To be honest, I almost fainted from fright. But Privy Council, you didn't tell me that that day!"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then what did I say?"
Yu Qi said: "You just asked your subordinate to submit a memorial, requesting Yunwen to leave the Ordnance Supervision to participate in the scientific examination."
"Yes, that's what I said."
"But you didn't tell your subordinates that you want to reform the scientific examination." Yu Qi said, about to cry but without tears.
If I told you in advance, would you still do this? Li Qi chuckled: "I don't think this has much to do with you. If you are involved, I would be really sorry for you."
I have been involved, not only me, but my whole family is involved. Yu Qi was really sad when he met such a boss. He said with a mournful face: "Privy Councilor, I think the emperor will soon figure out what is going on."
What's going on?"
Li Qi whispered: "So what? Is it wrong for Yunwen to take the scientific examination?"
Yu Qi shook his head.
"Then it's over." Li Qi said: "These are two different things. It's reasonable for Yunwen to want to take the scientific examination, and it's also reasonable for the reform of the scientific examination. If the emperor objects, it's unreasonable. Do you think the emperor is a wise king?"
Yu Qi nodded and said, "Of course."
"Can Mingjun be unreasonable?"
"Of course not."
"No, what are you afraid of?"
Yu Qi was confused because he was deceived. He thought to himself, the matter has come to an end and there is no point in thinking about it. He then said: "Then I wonder how the official will behave?"
"That's quite perfect." Li Qi gave a thumbs up without hesitation and said, "Especially when you mentioned that my wife is ill in bed and her lifelong wish is for Yunwen to be the top scorer in high school, that really moved me to tears.
, has exceeded my expectations. People who have read the book speak differently. Every word is so touching that I choked up and shed tears."
How could Yu Qi believe his words? He said: "The Privy Envoy spoke seriously. I just told the truth. It would be best if I didn't harm the Privy Envoy. However, I hope that the Privy Envoy will not do anything like this in the future."
Why don't you find someone else? I'm a timid official and can't withstand this storm."
This is completely beyond his understanding. This is not a game he can play.
I will still come to you when I need you. Li Qi laughed and said: "What are you afraid of? Your words are definitely worth the money. The number one scholar is none other than Yunwen. Let's go, let's talk as we go.
.By the way, is your sister-in-law in good health?"
"The Privy Envoy noted that my wife is in good health."
"Oh, Korea sent me a lot of high-quality ginseng this year. You can go back with me later and take a dozen kilograms back to my wife to replenish my health."
"Ten---a pound?"
"Isn't that too little? Let's round up a round number of twenty kilograms." (To be continued...)
