Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 601
Luo Youdu looked at the 52 people at the bottom, his eyes paused on each of them.

Wherever he looked, all Jinshi straightened up consciously, to let a great king like Luo Youdu look at him directly, for them, it was an honor, even luck.

Luo Youdu scanned everyone one by one, and said: "They all say disciples of the Son of Heaven, but I know only a few of you. The rest only hear their voices, but don't know who they are. In this way, you can stand according to your current position and work on your own." Let me introduce. Let me get to know each other, and let you all get to know each other this year."

His eyes fell on Bi Shi'an, and he said, "Zhuangyuan Lang, let's start with you!"

"Yes!"

Bi Shi'an took a step forward, made a bow calmly, and said: "Bi Shi'an, whose name is Rensou, is a native of Yunzhong, Daizhou. I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and I have met you all."

Ma Shi immediately came out and said: "Ma Shi, self-satisfied, a native of Hukou, Jiujiang..."

"Shiying's name is Xiaoyuan, and his name is Neihuangren's family..."

After Sanding Jia, the second-class Jinshi was born, and then it was the turn of the third-class Jinshi to be born.

……

"Guo He, courtesy name Jiang Sheng, from Pingji, Zhaozhou..."

Hearing Guo He's self-introduction, Luo Youdu's eyes paused on him for a moment. He was an unattractive middle-aged man in his thirties with a dark complexion. The demeanor of the Jianghu people.

Luo Youdu wrote down the names of the 52 people one by one, and said with some joy: "Do you know who is the most important in this court?"

His Highness first looked at each other in dismay, and then a voice came from the crowd: "Of course it's Your Majesty!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Xia, a second-class Jinshi.

Luo Youdu said: "I don't take what Zhang Jinshi said. There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching" that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. And the solidity of a country is like building a tall building. The height of a building does not depend on the person standing on the top of the building. , but the lowest foundation. It is not the emperor, nor the prime ministers Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, Song Qi, who maintain the operation of the entire imperial court. It is the thousands of grassroots officials, and you in the future."

The imperial examination system of the Luoyu court was very different from that of later generations.

The higher the ranking of the candidates in the later generations, the greater the chance of staying in the capital. They will become bachelors of the Hanlin Academy or a certain academy.

If you are lucky, you can fly at a young age, but if you are unlucky, no one will ask you for 40 to [-] years.

Luo Youdu disapproved of this very much. As an official of the court, one can only see the truth through hard work.Mixed in the Hanlin Academy, doing some pen-tip work every day, ignorant of the sufferings of the people, how can we govern the world?
Therefore, in the Luoyu court, all candidates for the examination will have internships in various places in central Beijing.

Then, according to the abilities and talents they have demonstrated, they will be sent to various places as officials, and the promotion criteria will be based on the official voice, deeds and achievements.

As for Song Bai and Guo Zhi, they belonged to special circumstances.

The Luoyu court was newly established, and there were not enough officials in the capital, so the decentralization system was not implemented immediately.

Nowadays, the imperial court is full of talented people, and all Jinshi must have certain grassroots work experience.

Only if you have achieved results at the grassroots level and proved yourself, can you be eligible to be transferred to the capital as an official.

"How far the court can go and how high the achievements are, you are the key."

Luo Youdu spoke with some enthusiasm.

If it is an old man in the officialdom, for Luo Youdu's speech like this, most of it goes in the left ear and out the right ear.

However, the 52 people of His Highness are all at a turning point in their lives. They have studied hard for many years. Now that they are in high school today, they are naturally full of ambition and proud of themselves.

Luo Youdu's metaphor like this, to them, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they all felt that their blood was boiling.

"but……"

Luo Youdu changed his tone again, and said solemnly: "You must have heard about Song Bai. For Song Bai, I am deeply saddened, and I feel even more regretful, but I have no regrets. The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. The embankment of a thousand miles , destroyed in an ant nest, no matter how regrettable and sad, there is no room for maneuver. In the near future, you will all become the parents and officials of the local area. Here, I send you a sentence: "Your salary, your salary, the people's anointing and the people's fat. Next The people are easy to abuse, but the sky is hard to bully', I hope you can learn from it, and don't ruin the ten-year cold window because of a single mistake."

His Highness and everyone were secretly awe-inspiring. As a negative example, Song Bai had achieved a very good deterrent effect.

The salaries of the imperial court are public, and high salaries may not necessarily support honesty.But there is a trade-off relationship between high salaries and corruption.

Is it worth it to lose a lifetime for something that is not lacking?

Luo Youdu looked at the people who were thinking deeply, and said: "You are the future of the imperial court, I believe you will not become the second Song Bai. Well, let's not talk about this unhappy thing, I have prepared wine and food in the side hall, I want Drink with the cornerstone of the imperial court."

Compared with Qionglin Banquet, Jiying Banquet is shabby, but because of Luo Youdu's existence, it is no longer shabby.

As the leading figure of the banquet, Luo Youdu once again displayed his terrifying trick of human sophistication.

While accepting the toast of all Jinshi, he also toasted with everyone.

He clearly and distinctly called everyone by name and chatted with them, including their hometowns and the highlights of their exam papers.

To be able to pass the Jinshi exam, there must be something unique in their exam papers.

Luo Youdu gave them affirmation and praise, and in a few words, he said that the other party was greatly appreciated by Yu Mingzhu, and he only wished that he could die for them immediately, to show his loyalty, and to repay the kindness of his knowledge.

Almost everyone felt that Luo Youdu valued them.

"Guo Jinshi, you are from Pingji, Zhaozhou? I don't think so! Your understanding of the Yellow River is not like living in Pingji. I believe that you live on both sides of the Yellow River. The treatment plan for the Yellow River in your volume, Let me open my eyes, without in-depth research, I can't get such a method."

A look of sadness flashed in Guo He's eyes, and he said: "My father was once a doctor of the Water Department of the Later Tang Dynasty, and he was ordered by Li Siyuan to control the Yellow River. My father ran up and down for ten years, but he was accidentally flooded and lost his trace. The students read day and night my father's accumulation of ten years The manuscript was also inspected on the spot. To tell you the truth, my father has at least [-]% of the answers written by the students."

Luo Youdu was stunned, and he didn't continue talking in public.

Instead, after the banquet was over, they sent someone to keep Guo He behind.

Looking at Guo He who was a little nervous, Luo Youdu said: "I've had trouble sleeping and eating recently because of the Yellow River incident. It's a very special moment, and I don't care about the rules or not. After the river control special operations team comes back from the field investigation, you will also join it. Before that, you should sort out the materials in detail, and then discuss it with the action team. Regardless of success or failure, you will be credited."

Guo He couldn't believe his ears, but seeing the encouraging eyes above, he bowed to the ground excitedly, and said loudly: "The students will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."
