Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 480: Be careful when recruiting officials! (Please subscribe)

sunset.

Ying Sinian had returned a long time ago, looking a little depressed. He didn't say anything to Ji Heng. He went to prepare a dinner as before.

It's just that it's a lot richer than before.

He also warmed a few bottles of wine.

Sunset.

The sky was dim and yellow, and the sunset clouds like fish scales filled the entire sky, making the huge Xianyang sun shine brightly.

The young master and others stood in the courtyard without disturbing him. The brothers also remained silent at this moment. Anyone could see that the atmosphere was unusual.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Ying Sinian lived in Ji Heng's house for six or seven years, growing from an ignorant and careless boy to a smart young man.

Although in the later period, he spent most of his time in the Prince's Academy in the palace, he would come back basically every now and then.

Fusu now has a clear order.

"How to promote officials."

"Let capable and talented people be used by Great Qin, instead of being placed in some insignificant positions, or being pushed to the bottom without any chance of promotion."

Ying Sinian is not allowed to have any contact with Ji Heng anymore, and Ying Sinian is also forbidden to continue to live here. The emperor's orders are like mountains, and he is his father. How dare Ying Sinian disobey.

"A man's ambition should be like the Yangtze River running eastward to the sea. Why bother to be tired of this muddy place? You are the eldest son of Fusu. If nothing unexpected happens, you will also be the third emperor of the Qin Dynasty."

"Right now, these people seem to be pretty good, and this may be the problem you have to face in the future."

talking.

Not long after.

Seems lack of confidence.

As Fusu came to power, home-cooked dishes such as steaming, frying, and stir-frying gradually spread to the court, and now they have become a common practice in the homes of many courtiers.

Compared with the casualness of others, Ying Sinian seemed preoccupied and absent-minded. After taking a bite, he couldn't help but look at Ji Heng and hesitated to speak.

"It's a heavy burden on your shoulders."

"However, due to Wang Ben's sudden death at that time, it ended hastily. Although the follow-up was completed, a lot of experience was missing."

He didn't talk about any etiquette or etiquette, and he didn't pay attention to the prince or other people. He just started eating by himself, and the food was delicious.

"At that time, I remember meeting a few good officials. Many of them were unwilling to be promoted. They just wanted to guard their one-third of an acre of land. In addition, they controlled the promotion channels for other officials and had no way to get promoted."

Ji Heng also smiled.

Ying Sinian smiled as usual and said, "Master, it's time to eat."

Ji Heng glanced at the food on the table and said with a smile: "I'm really lucky today. I'm going to eat more this time, haha."

"Connecting the past and the next."

Hu Hai didn't think too much, so he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, sniffed it vigorously, and nodded with satisfaction.

Ji Heng smiled heartily.

He went to the well, fetched a basin of water, did some cleaning, and then sat down. The meal was already served at the desk where he was.

In fact, they have already become proficient.

Seeing Ji Heng and Hu Hai like this, the young master and the others seemed a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, they started eating with chopsticks.

Not a moment.

Ji Heng chewed a piece of reed in his mouth and said vaguely: "I know, you should have left long ago. How can such a big man stay here forever?"

Ying Sinian's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

He smiled and said: "Back then, I asked your father, Hu Hai and others to revisit the old capital of Qin Dynasty to understand the local situation."

Today was the last meal he cooked for Ji Heng.

That's what he likes.

Ji Heng left the house.

For chopsticks.

A large table was filled with dishes.

"hehe."

"I'm afraid I have to leave after today. My father has given me an order, and I dare not disobey it. I told my father before, but he didn't agree."

After all, if this house was taken away, he would really be living on the streets.

"However, although you are knowledgeable and broad-minded, you are very similar to Fusu before. You do not have enough insight into world affairs and know very little about the local area."

Ying Sinian finally plucked up the courage and timidly said: "Master, I..."

Hu Hai seemed very calm. He couldn't move anyway, so Ying Sinian would leave as long as the house was not taken away.

A little while.

They are close to the water and towers, and they can master it faster.

It doesn't matter to him.

"But it's okay."

"The world is big and there are many talents."

"The Qin Dynasty cannot use up all its talents, and it is impossible for people to make full use of their talents. However, how to promote officials is an art, and you can think about it carefully."

talking.

Ji Heng hesitated for a moment and said: "The actual selection route of Da Qin in the future is actually relatively simple, that is, promotion from the academy, and graduation as an official."

"For now."

"The school system is very advanced and cultivates all-round talents. They are plug-and-play and can be placed in any position."

"But as the world stabilizes, the school system will definitely collapse. It is almost foreseeable that the officials who come out of the school will have extremely strong qualities."

"They have high abilities, outstanding literary talent, great cultivation ability, and better prospects. In a sense, when a new generation replaces the old ones, the new group of people will often be better than the previous generation."

"But this is not necessarily a good thing." "The more mature the school is, the more it will produce officials who are almost templates. Many of these people lack their own ideas. Under normal circumstances, they are basically good fillers for the world's officials."

"But when they encounter a problem, or a problem that they have no experience, knowledge, or even hearing about, these people easily panic."

"Therefore, when selecting officials, you should use multiple approaches and approaches, and don't stick to one side. Even if this category looks very good, don't be superstitious."

"Otherwise, the vast majority of officials in Da Qin will gradually be replaced by a group of disciples from the three sects of 'family, school, and agency'."

"These people don't know what's going on at the bottom, and they've always been aloof from the world. If too many of these officials control a place, something will happen."

"Therefore, even if they are used, they should be put to use. Send all these so-called capable people to the bottom level for a period of experience. Only then can we test whether they have real talents and knowledge, rather than just relying on their family background."

Hear the words.

Ying Sinian was thoughtful.

He chewed it in his mind for a while, then nodded quickly and said, "Student, remember it."

Ji Heng nodded.

He's not being alarmist.

There have been too many officials of this kind in the later generations. After leaving home, they went to school. After graduating from school, they went directly to various government agencies and then climbed up the ranks quickly.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no problem.

But as the world becomes more stable, this system will be exploited by others and eventually evolve into a templated training of officials. If too many of these people occupy high positions, it will be a disaster for the world.

And he knows it.

The literati of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were well-written and well-founded in their articles. They treated people well and treated people like a spring breeze. In normal times, they could be described as elites, but if something really happened, they would be blinded on the spot.

Not useful at all.

The further you go, the less bottom line the people trained by this kind of template have. Their goal is just to get promoted and make a fortune. Once they gain power, they will quickly and naturally join the rentier class, and then they can absorb the wealth and wealth of the people with peace of mind. There is no thought of serving the people at all.

The purpose of becoming an official is to make a fortune, to be a high-ranking lord, to have a wife and a son, and these people often become the ministers of the country, the lord of Qingtian, and the princes of hundreds of miles.

The older you get to the later stage, the more complete the old path to getting an official position will be. Only by constantly changing it and using new methods can it be slowed down.

But there is still a day when it is hard to come back.

This is also helpless.

Hu Hai and Gongzi Gao were also thoughtful. In fact, they had never thought about this, and they also praised the school system in their hearts.

But he didn't expect that Ji Heng looked so far and thought so deeply, directly pointing out the future collapse of the school system.

And give some pointers to Ying Sinian.

Ji Heng said: "There cannot be a single method for recruiting officials, nor can we rely on one method in the past. Only by advancing multiple methods and constantly replacing them can we ensure that these people who serve as officials are not just a group of tool people."

"But it's difficult."

"The more stable the world is, the greater the damage to the system will be. And the system is dead and needs people to implement it, so problems are bound to occur."

"I don't have many solutions."

"You may need to explore and solve this yourself in the future."

Ying Sinian nodded quickly.

Ji Heng added: "As for the others, I actually have nothing to remind them. It's just that most of the current emperor's successors are living in the palace and don't know the real situation in the world. There's nothing we can do about it."

"If you put it in a place to practice, it will easily cause problems."

Ji Heng shook his head.

He didn't have much advice on that either.

This choice between the two depends on the emperor's own choice, but no matter which one, there are hidden dangers and disadvantages, and he can only choose the lesser of two evils.

But it’s not up to you to decide the severity.

But the emperor.

Ying Si Nian bowed respectfully to Ji Heng, raised his glass and said, "In the past few years, thanks to Master's teachings, Ying Si Nian has benefited a lot and benefited a lot."

"Ying Sinian is grateful."

talking.

Ying Sinian raised his glass and drank heavily.

Seeing this, Ji Heng's eyelids twitched. This wine table culture is not recommended. He doesn't want to toast everyone in the world beforehand.

This is a bad habit.

Ji Heng glanced at the wine glass, then looked at Ying Sinian's ardent and grateful eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then raised it up and said calmly: "After this glass of wine, everything in the past has changed."

Done.

Ji Heng drank the wine in the cup.

Afterwards, he stopped talking and continued eating. In fact, he didn't have any major mood swings and had long known that such a day would come.

At this time.

Hu Hai said with a smile: "Since Si Nian is leaving now, you have nothing to do anyway. My eldest son will be eight years old soon. How about you continue to do it for me?"

"In the future, I might even be able to hold an official position, which would also be considered a glorious honor."

Hu Hai looked at Ji Heng with a smile.

Ji Heng's face turned dark and he snorted coldly: "You should teach that boy of yours by yourself. I don't have that intention. I never agreed to it in the first place."

"As for the glory of the lintel, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for your boy."

Hu Hai curled his lips, muttered something stingy, and said no more.

at this time.

There was a slight knock on the door.
