Four hundred and thirteenth chapter Du He's method
After the dynasty was dismissed, Li Er summoned Zhang Sun Wuji and others to the imperial study and asked: "With so many people, are they not as good as Du He? Do you really want me to agree to Du He's conditions?"
"
Li Er felt a little humiliated, as if he was being led by Du He.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to Du He. He is just a child. Now he has become the Marquis of Huyi County at a young age. It is all your Majesty's favor. What else can he be dissatisfied with?
Du He should serve your majesty because of his salary and worries."
"Ahem..."
Du Ruhui next to him coughed dissatisfiedly.
Li Er had no choice but to send Zhao Yang to announce Du He's entry into the palace.
Not long after, Du He arrived at the palace.
Walking into the imperial study room and seeing everyone's sad faces, Du He understood instantly.
He stepped forward and saluted Li Er.
Snapped.
Li Eryi banged the table and said angrily: "Bold Du He, as a minister, you dare to bargain with me and ask for conditions. It is really unreasonable. Do you know your guilt?"
Du He was stunned and thought to himself, Damn it, His Majesty Li Er is trying to scare you.
Do you really think I'm scared?
He widened his eyes and said with an innocent expression: "Your Majesty, who is impeaching me again? I behave well and do my duty. When will I have to bargain with Your Majesty?"
Li Er smiled and said: "You are still quibbling. I ask you, why don't you present the detailed method to solve the shortage of officials at once, and only give me this ambiguous sentence? Why do you ask me to use it again?"
You are willing to hand over all the students from the Imperial College only if they are transferred to Banshan College. What are you bargaining for?"
Du He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, misunderstandings... They are all misunderstandings... I have never asked for conditions from Your Majesty. The proposal to transfer some students from the Imperial College to Banshan College is actually for Your Majesty, for Datang, and for the Imperial College.
ah……"
Um?
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone thought, this Du He is really shameless. It is obvious that Banshan College cannot recruit students and can only recruit children from elementary school. Du He wants to recruit people from the Imperial Academy. How did he become the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty?
It's so shameless.
Even Li Er was stunned by Du He.
"Du He, let me make it clear first, why are the students who are deployed in the Imperial College just for the Tang Dynasty?" Li Er asked curiously.
Du He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although your Banshan College has just opened, its various conditions are among the best in the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it just to better train these people by transferring some of the students from the Imperial College?
This is to cultivate talents for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."
"No! Absolutely no!" Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, was the first to object, "Your Majesty, you absolutely must not. There is not even a single student in Banshan College now, only a bunch of children who are still in elementary school. Just imagine if Your Majesty will remove the students from the Imperial College.
After the staff are deployed, the students will not say whether they agree or not, I am afraid that both the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China will object."
Li Er also nodded and said: "Du He, I will not agree to your proposal. How will I convince everyone when the time comes?"
Du He scratched his head and suddenly had an idea, and said: "Your Majesty, among the methods proposed by me, the second method is to hold a scientific examination in one month. However, I am afraid that the students from all over the country are not fully ready yet.
Some people are even preparing for next spring. Therefore, I propose that all students who register for this scientific examination, except for those in the Imperial College and the Capital Academy, all students from other places can go to Banshan College to review their homework. I will give them
Prepare the best food and accommodation conditions, as well as a quiet learning environment, so that they can review well, and occasionally give them some guidance."
Li Er hurriedly asked: "If I agree to your request, can you tell me the specific method?"
"certainly!"
Listen to it, everyone.
Du He is equivalent to dedicating his own Mid-Levels College for free to provide a place for poor students from other places to live.
There is no harm to the court or the students.
Is there anything else I can't agree to?
So everyone said they had no objection.
"support!"
"Agree!"
Li Er then said: "Okay, Du He, then I promise you. Now, it's time for you to talk about your method carefully, right?"
Du He then said: "Your Majesty, my method is very simple, which is to select officials."
"In two steps!"
"First, selecting a group of young people with both political integrity and talent from the descendants of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China and assigning them to serve as officials in various places can solve the problem of the shortage of officials in some states and counties."
As soon as Du He finished speaking, Changsun Wuji said: "Du He, your method is a bit taken for granted. These younger generations are the treasures of the civil and military ministers. How can they let their sons go to serve as officials in various states and counties?"
Du He said with a smile: "So, the selection of officials cannot be called to be sent to various places to serve as officials, but to be called to be sent to various places to sharpen their skills. The sharpening time is two years. After two years, if these young officials pass the assessment, they can return to their hometowns unconditionally.
Chang'an, and was promoted to one level."
Li Er's eyes lit up, "With this guarantee, no one will be reluctant."
Everyone also thinks that Du He's method is very feasible and can weaken many opposing voices at once.
Du He continued: "Second, the scientific examination is held. In order to reflect fairness and take care of the scholars in remote areas who have not yet arrived in the capital, the time cannot be changed next spring and will continue as usual... However, His Majesty the Emperor
En Haodang, a scientific examination can be held one month later. The scientific examination is divided into two parts. The first is the same as Chunwei, with Jinshi subjects and Mingjing subjects. Those who pass the examination will be Jinshi and become officials in the court. The second is a special
The examination is the same as that at the state and county level, and those who pass the examination are scholars, and these scholars can be sent to serve as officials in various places."
Du He's method was actually a mess compared to the later imperial examinations, and would definitely not work for future generations.
But in this era, the imperial examinations had just begun to sprout, and many things were not clearly defined.
So, when everyone heard it, they all thought this method was feasible.
The time for the Spring Festival is not advanced, but His Majesty can order a separate examination. The Ministry of Rites examination can select a very small number of Jinshi, which is not enough, but the scholar is different. The Scholar examination can select a large number of people.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Li Erlian said three good words and said happily: "Du He's method is very feasible. Let's leave this matter to the Minister of Finance."
Everyone hurriedly praised Li Ershengming.
In the peaceful atmosphere, Du He's abrupt voice could be heard: "Your Majesty, don't forget that you just agreed to my request. You are not joking."
