The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 686
"Your Majesty, the grassroots want to go to the local government to serve."

"emperor……"

In the end, more than a dozen people really knelt down and asked Zhao Dongting to go to the local office.And these people, no accident, are all older people.

They probably feel that they have no chance to get close to the center in this life.

Perhaps, it is already the best choice to be able to serve as a chief officer of a certain department in a local area.They are not like those young Jinshi, who still have a lot of time to climb up.

Zhao Dongting didn't show any strange expression, obviously he was already mentally prepared for this.

Officials below the fifth rank have to retire to the second line at the age of 50, and they have to retire at 55.How many years do these older Scholars still have to work on their deputy positions?

Even he himself really hoped that these older Jinshi would propose to serve in other places.

They still have some real talents, and when they become local officials, they should be able to produce more facts than those selected from the local area.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "State Order, then assign these Scholars to work in localities. See if there are any vacancies in various departments in various places, and try to arrange them to serve in full positions."

He also has no choice.

After all, there is still a shortage of talents, but there are still many gaps in the official establishment of the Song Dynasty.It is also a gamble mentality to assign these Jinshi directly to full positions.

But after finishing speaking, Zhao Dongting still did not forget to look at those Jinshi who offered to take up positions in other places, and said: "You wait to go to work in places, and I support you. But you have to remember, what I give you is not iron. Rice bowls, this imperial examination, I will hold it every year, and there will be countless talents emerging in the court. If you fail to contribute to the people and the country at the local level, I will demote your officials lightly, or even dismiss you Even your officials may decide. When the time comes, don't blame me."

All Jinshi showed serious expressions, "I will keep it in mind."

"Um……"

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, and said to Lu Xiufu and the others: "Then all adults, please bring them back! Within two months, let them work in their respective government offices."

"Yes."

Lu Xiufu and others took orders.

Afterwards, Chen Jianghan and other ministers left the hall with their selected Jinshi.

The hall soon became nearly empty.

Zhao Dongting suddenly turned his head to look at Eunuch Liu beside him, and asked, "Eunuch Liu, how do you think these Jinshi can perform?"

Eunuch Liu pondered for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty, they are all the top students in various places. Presumably they should be able to make political achievements."

"Not necessarily..."

Zhao Dongting shook his head, and seemed to be talking to himself, "The new imperial examination policy has just been implemented not long ago. Although all schools have a complete set of majors, even the masters are still at the stage of figuring out these professional knowledge. Their Jinshi, It seems to have the highest gold content, but in fact, they don't know much about the majors. I can see this from their examination papers. I only hope that they can do better than the previous officials, so that , which means that my New Deal is still successful."

On this day, after Zhao Dongting left the main hall, he went directly to the imperial study room, and then stayed in the imperial study room all day.It was not until late at night that I returned to the bedroom.

He knew very well that such hastily filled talents were not considered good.

On the next day, Zhao Dongting summoned Lu Xiufu and other senior officials and the heads of various ministries to the main hall for a small court meeting.

During the meeting, Zhao Dongting only said two things.

First, highly respected people who are good at water conservancy, agriculture, roads and bridges from all over the country are invited to come to Changsha to discuss professional knowledge.

Second, the Guozijian's schools are divided into different categories.

From babbling kindergarten to elementary school, junior high school, high school and the highest university.Each institution of higher learning must identify its location and not teach it in general terms.

Of course, Zhao Dongting didn't let Guozijian implement the second matter now.

He imitated the current teaching system. If he wanted to position all the institutions of higher education, he had to produce textbooks for each grade first.

And this is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

Although his knowledge is much ahead of the people of this age, this matter cannot be accomplished by himself alone.He also needs to cultivate some talents first.

This is the most time-consuming grind.

Later, Zhao Dongting sent secret letters to various military regions.Let the military regions start to establish special forces, and try to set the main organization at the regiment level, and the various arms have a clear division of labor and cooperate with each other.

He didn't know how long this world would be peaceful. He desperately hoped that before the war resumed, the forbidden troops in all military regions would undergo earth-shaking changes.

A war involving 10 people is too laborious and costly.At the same time, too many people died.

People's lives are withered, and they really can't stand such a toss.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of March.

A village in Lechang County, Shaozhou, Guangnan East Road.

The village is poor.

It is so poor that there are almost no black tiles in the whole village, and there are only about twenty houses, all of which are covered with thatch.

Although there are Huangkeng silver farms and Taiping lead farms in Lechang County, the geographical environment is not suitable for farming, so harvests are in short supply every year.

Even if the emperor implements the New Deal, every family can be allocated fields, but they can barely maintain food and clothing.There are still not a few people who work in the mines.

Lechang County is poor.

The village where Zhong Jian was born is even poorer.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a scholar like him in the whole village.What's more, the whole village had to come together to pay for the capital examination.

This is also thanks to the fact that Zhong Jian was able to remember with a photographic memory when he was young, showing his extraordinary talent.The villagers felt that he should have a good future by studying, otherwise, there might not even be a single scholar in the whole village.

Fortunately, Zhong Jian did not disappoint them.

When this child went to a private school in the county town, his masters always praised him for his outstanding talent and bright mind.

Later, there was an initial school in the county, and he also successfully entered the school, and he was also exempted from tuition fees because of his excellent grades.It can be said that the whole Wangshui Village has a big face.

At that time, when people in the village went to the county town to sell or buy things, they couldn't help but lift their chests higher.

Our Wangshui Village also has students from the school.

Later, this child was even more incredible.

First in the provincial examination, first in the government examination, and first in the hospital examination.

Obediently in the middle of winter, this shocked the villagers of Wangshui Village.When I go to the county again, I just want to mention Zhong Jian's name when I meet everyone.

Our Wangshui Village is going to have a lot of people.

Not to mention that Zhong Jian was able to stand out again in the dazzling imperial examination, but just the first place in the Guangnan East Road Academy Examination, it will be great in the future, right?

In fact, many villagers don't even know what the hospital examination is.But it is enough to understand that this is very cowhide.

You know, during the time when Zhong Jianzhong was the top scholar, Juren, and Gongsheng, he first alarmed the magistrate of Lechang County, and then the magistrate of Shaozhou. Feng Tingluan, Dingtian's Jiedu and transshipment envoy, has sent officials from the mansion to congratulate him.

Of course, these are nothing to the villagers of Wangshui Village now.

On this day, another high-ranking official from the Jiedu Mansion came to Wangshui Village.But the official said that Zhong Jian's offspring was selected as a Jinshi.

He also said that Zhong Jian was personally mentioned by the emperor's imperial pen and was the most favored.And he has to be a sixth-rank official.

Scholars.

The villagers didn't understand it at first, but it was only later that Zhong Jian got better and better in the exam.Gongsheng who passed the palace examination were Jinshi.

It is said that the top three Jinshi are the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua.

That's the real fame in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the villagers surrounded the official from Jiedu Mansion, some were excited, but some were secretly disappointed.

The old village chief trembled, excited and slightly disappointed, with a complicated expression, hesitant to speak several times.

In the end, he still couldn't hold back, and asked aloud: "My lord, Mr. Zhong, no, Mr. Zhong... Mr. Zhong, he didn't win?"

No. [-] scholar, he didn't dare to think about it.But there were still expectations for Tanhua before.

After all, there are only a few roads in Da Song now. How many people can there be in the first place in the hospital examination like Zhong Jian?

The official smiled softly, "I'm afraid the village chief doesn't know. Since our emperor implemented the new policy, the top three in the palace examination have been cancelled. Those who pass the palace examination will no longer be ranked separately. Hey, Zhong Jinshi was personally mentioned by the emperor's imperial pen this time, and It is already a great honor for our Guangnan East Road to be praised by the court. This is no different from the new champion!"

The village chief's beard trembled violently, "Really...really?"

The official smiled and nodded.

"Our Wangshui Village...has...a champion?"

The village chief was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

The surrounding villagers were also stunned.

Several people quietly shed tears.

And these people are naturally Zhong Jian's family members.
