After the small meeting with Liu Bagou and the others, Li Xuan directly called Lei Wan in and asked the military to come up with a plan to organize the refugees for militarized settlement.
When Lei Wan first heard Li Xuan's statement, he felt a little surprised!
No wonder he was surprised. After all, strictly speaking, this kind of thing had nothing to do with the military. It was not like the Tang Dynasty had not carried out reclamation before, and there were many methods.
However, whether it is organizing the settlement of refugees or the settlement of immigrants, these are civil affairs affairs and have nothing to do with the military.
But now, Li Xuan asked the military to come up with a plan to organize the resettlement of refugees.
So he was a little confused, and immediately said: "So, these young and strong refugees who have been recruited can also be considered soldiers?"
The question Lei Wan asked is very important. If you are a soldier, then it is not a good thing for the military. It will lower the impression of soldiers and their social status. The status of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty is relatively high.
In the court, the generals have no control over the civilian officials. Even ordinary soldiers, after retiring and returning to their hometown, can be patrollers, not to mention officers. If they retire, they will either be in the reserve division.
If you continue to serve as an officer, or directly work as a local civilian official professionally, your overall social status will be relatively high.
This can be seen from the fact that the conditions for recruiting soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are now so strict, and the entrance examination for martial arts schools is getting more difficult every year.
But if they do not have military status, then the military has no legal reason to manage these refugees.
Because the Tang Dynasty had always implemented a strict separation of military and political affairs, the military could not interfere in local civil affairs. In turn, civilian officials could not dictate military affairs.
Regarding this issue, Li Xuan naturally had his own plans, otherwise he wouldn't have called Lei Wan over.
He said this: "The young and strong people in the settlements will be included in the military register, organized into the settlement establishment, and comprehensive military management will be implemented!"
It is inappropriate to directly include these young refugees in the regular army or even in the reserve force, but we have to regard them as soldiers, because in that case, the military will have no way to manage them.
Therefore, Li Xuan planned to use the colonization regiment in the prisoner of war camp as a model to create a colonization organization.
In the future, not only will the newly recruited refugees be young and strong, but even the prisoners in the existing prisoner-of-war settlement camps can be directly converted to settlement establishments if they are unwilling to leave the army.
When Lieutenant General Lei Wan heard this, he wisely did not continue to ask too many questions, but said that he would organize people to come up with the regulations of the Reclamation Corps later.
After all, this is something ordered by the Holy Emperor himself. At the same time, as a military general, Lei Wan also knows that the public security situation in Shaanxi, and even Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other areas is not very good. Even if there is military force as a deterrent, it will be a long time.
There is no need to worry about any disturbances, but high-pressure military measures are not a long-term solution.
After Lei Wan left, Li Xuancai started the second meeting. This time the meeting was simple, discussing the opening of several ports in the north.
The Tang Dynasty has conquered the northern provinces, but there are currently only five trading ports in the Tang Dynasty. In order to balance the development, it is also to develop the economy of the northern coastal areas, and indirectly promote the Tang Dynasty's influence on the northern region, especially in the north.
It is under the control of Youzhou, Hebei Province, and it is necessary to support the development of coastal economy in the north.
And trading ports are the best policy support for developing coastal economy!
It has already been agreed internally that Tianjin, Hebei Province, and Jiaozhou, Shandong Province will be the two newest trading ports.
As for a series of policies on commercial ports, the Tang Dynasty also had mature plans, and they could basically just copy them, so this matter could be finalized without too much trouble.
After the meeting ended, three hours had passed, and the palace examination was about to end!
Before the end of the palace examination, Li Xuan went back again!
With the end of the palace examination, there will be intense grading. Although it is said to be a palace examination, Li Xuan will personally mark the papers, but in fact it is impossible for Li Xuan to actually read all the examination papers.
The test papers he personally read were only among the top ten in the general examination in the two subjects, and the top ten in the palace examination. If the top ten in the palace examination included the top ten in the general examination, the selection would be postponed to a later date.
.
The ministers who graded the papers would send a total of forty papers to Li Xuan for Li Xuan to grade in person.
At the same time, considering that the questions in the imperial examination focus on policy theory, policy theory is relatively subjective. Unlike the general examination, the answers are relatively fixed. As long as you study well enough, you can pass the exam.
As for the palace examination, strategy is the main focus!
Therefore, in order to ensure fairness as much as possible, five examiners will conduct cross-checking for each test paper, and the cross-checking will be anonymous. Finally, the average score will be used for preliminary ranking. As for the top twenty in each subject,
It will be decided by Li Xuan personally.
After the marking officials cross-checked the papers, they sent forty test papers to Li Xuan. Li Xuan read them all in person and thought they were OK, so he did not make any surprises and directly ranked them according to the scores.
Basically, Li Xuan didn't pay attention to the follow-up matters. After all, the imperial examination happened every year. For this kind of thing, there was already a complete set of procedures. Li Xuan only needed to ensure the imperial examination every year and gradually improve it according to his plan.
That's it, he doesn't care about the specifics, and he doesn't have so much time to take care of it.
When he met this man, Li Xuan finally understood why Empress Dowager Bai chose this man to be Princess Huichen's husband. This man's body shape was quite incompatible with Princess Huichen. He had a strong figure and a slight beard.
His Chinese character face, his figure and his appearance are still in the future. It is more than enough to go to the United States and become a tough guy or a star.
Well, there is definitely no hope of becoming famous in China, because the aunts who hold power in the entertainment industry in later generations all like delicate, beautiful and fair-skinned little fresh meat.
The burly man in front of me is obviously a tough guy, and he doesn't fit in well with the young boy!
This young man who looks like a tough guy is reserved in front of Li Xuan and looks very honest, just like the honest boy that Queen Mother Bai said!
And although he looks like a tough guy, his speech is very elegant. When you hear him speak, you can tell that he comes from a scholar's family.
To be honest, Li Xuan felt a little wronged by such a person as Princess Huichen!
However, Li Xuan knew better that this was just the appearance of this person. In fact, this young man who looked strong and handsome was not an easy man. According to the secret investigation by Hantong, this man wanted to become a member of the Tang Dynasty.
The first prince consort used a lot of tricks.
But those were all innocuous things, and Li Xuan didn't care much about them.
This person's surname is Lan and his given name is Zhang Yan. He was born into a gentry family in Jiangxi. His father Lan Quanbin was a former Ming Dynasty official. After Master Wang entered Jiangxi, he was recruited as an official. He was first appointed as a county magistrate, and later became a magistrate. He is currently serving as a magistrate in Shandong.
With such a father, he shouldn't come here to be a prince-in-law.
Why? Because the laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that the prince-in-law was not allowed to hold any other public position except serving in the Zongfu Mansion, and neither civil nor military positions were allowed.
Because of this rule, any scholar who is somewhat ideal and wants to enter an official career will not be willing to be a consort.
The Lan family is considered a serious scholarly family, and I am a fourth-rank magistrate. Most of these sons will also take the imperial examination and become officials.
However, Lan Zhangyan is not the eldest son of the Lan family, but the second son. At the same time, this man seems to speak well, but this is a quality that an ordinary scholar should have, but when it comes to the examination room, it seems a little lacking.
.
This man could not pass the imperial examination in the pre-Ming Dynasty. He waited for the coming of the Tang Dynasty and took advantage of the relatively loose imperial examination system in the early two years before he became a civil servant.
But at that time, the candidates in the Tang Dynasty were actually not worth much. Basically, it was a scholar with good foundation who took part in the imperial examination. The candidates were guaranteed to win. After a little study, they could get the Jinshi.
The competition was very small, completely different from the intense competition now.
Later, he participated in several college entrance examinations, but failed to get into Sunshan. He even failed to get into the Imperial Academy and Jinling University. This shows that he is really a bit of a talentless candidate.
Although Lan Zhangyan is not good at studying, his eldest brother is very good. Although he has not yet taken the examination, he has already entered the Imperial College of Literature. In time, it will be very easy to pass the Jinshi examination.
In other words, with his eldest brother's bright future ahead of him, the Lan family had given up hope that he would enter an official career and left him to fend for himself.
But he is not willing to give in!
There is no hope of becoming a normal official. If you ask him to become an ordinary clerk or something like that as a juren, he will not be reconciled to being a mid-level official for the rest of his life. In the end, he will find another way to become a prince-in-law.
.
Being a prince-in-law means that you will not be able to enter the officialdom. This is unacceptable to most scholars who are interested in taking the imperial examination and entering the official career. However, his studies are average, and he knows that there is no hope of becoming a Jinshi, so he might as well become a scholar.
A prince consort, here to live a glorious life.
No matter whether the future princes-in-law of the Tang Dynasty are valuable or not, as the first prince-in-law since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how bad they are, they can't be that bad!
There were many people who had the same idea as him, but he used many little tricks to get through all the way, and finally successfully entered the sight of Empress Dowager Bai, and was selected by Empress Dowager Bai to be the husband of Princess Huichen.
Li Xuan simply chatted with him for a quarter of an hour, but after the chat, he was a little disappointed. This man seemed not as smart as the Hantong investigation report said. Could it be that he was really an honest person?
