God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Although the quantity brought back by the other party may only be a few hundred kilograms, but thinking about the production capacity of saffron, an option popped up in Lu Qi's mind. Could it be that the other party robbed the Parthian noble?

"Except for seeds and finished saffron, do you know if there are any books related to saffron?" Lu Qi asked seemingly casually with a curious attitude.

"No, there shouldn't be, yes, there just isn't!" Zhang Hong recalled for a moment, and then said decisively.

When Lu Qi heard such words, he understood in his heart.

It really robbed the other party, but it shouldn't be done. With such strength, there is no capital to rob.

Although this merchant's escort is indeed quite powerful, at this level, it is not enough to capture a large Parthian noble.

The gap in military strength between the two sides is so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see who is stronger and who is weaker.

But now that the finished saffron products and seeds have been obtained, many things can be temporarily given up.

To be honest, according to Lu Qi's original idea, the ranger who came to his door was the key to obtaining saffron seeds, but it turned out that it was completely useless now.

"Okay, if you don't have it, you won't have it..." Although I didn't get the most precious thing, people must always be content. If you can't get it now, it doesn't mean you won't get it in the future.

The Parthian Empire has not rested yet, and he has plenty of time.

"Mr. I don't know..." Zhang Hong looked at Lu Qi and asked softly.

"What is your request? Money? Or something..." Lu Qi also reacted at this time. It seemed that it was not the time to think about things, and it would not be good to keep people waiting.

"I heard that there are still quotas for recommendation here in Congling..." Zhang Hong asked with a serious tone and a little caution.

The legacy of the Chaoju system has, in fact, not been completely replaced until now.

In fact, the new official appointment system has not been confirmed and updated so far. Even the internal scientific examination system that has existed has only been implemented internally.

And the candidates among them are essentially no different from the inspection system. They are all recommended and promoted by others.

It's just that due to the special circumstances, the level of recommended officials has dropped a lot, and the number of recommended officials has increased a lot, and then the number is used to meet a certain degree of official deficit.

In this situation, there is no other solution. After all, if the imperial examination system is really promoted to a large extent, it will be easy to die faster. After all, 99% of the scholars at this time are from aristocratic families.

When changing the superstructure, we must also look at the structure of the base building to see if it meets the conditions for change, rather than blindly thinking about it.

And because of the current youth structure of the upper class, the people elected are basically the same young people, and the burdens these people bear on the family are often less than their personal ideals, not to mention that most people in the group themselves He is not a son of aristocratic family.

After a period of development, when the underlying basic framework begins to gradually expand, new official assessment and selection systems will also begin to emerge one after another, replacing the existing system to a certain extent.

Some standards of the inspection and promotion system are actually quite good, that is, the screening of personal moral qualities. In addition, it is the joint name between the recommender and the recommended person, which is also a kind of binding.

If something does happen, we can be held responsible and held accountable. Of course, no system is absolutely perfect. Every system has its own flaws. What they can do is adapt to the changes of the times and find a system that is relatively in line with the times to ensure the development of the country and the normal life of the people. .

"Recommended quota? This is indeed available. How many do you want?" Lu Qi briefly responded to the recommended quota allocation and said thoughtfully.

Generally speaking, there are only one or two recommendation quotas in a state each year, but those who are recommended in this way have a relatively high starting point. If it is the following counties, there are also recommended quotas, but the starting point is The starting point is very low.

In a sense, it can be regarded as an endorsement of responsibility and power.

Among the newly divided administrative areas, the entire thirty-six countries in the Western Region are state-level administrative areas, and the Congling area has temporary state-level administrative treatment. It is hard to say whether it will decrease in the future.

In other words, the number of places in Lu Qi's hands is quite sufficient.

Whether it is Li Jue or others, they basically have no idea of ​​​​recommendation, because basically all the people they recommend fail to pass.

It's not that the recommenders are bad, but that as recommenders themselves, they are a kind of harm to the recommended people, and they can't survive at all in the court.

In addition, Li Jue and others really do not value this aspect, so the relevant quotas are basically in the hands of Lu Qi.

In addition, the person in charge of the court is himself, so when making corresponding arrangements, the degree of obstruction is very low.

"How many?" Zhang Hong quickly flashed his eyes, revealing disbelief in his eyes.

Being able to get one is already a luxury, how can you want several?

"If you only want one, you can probably distribute it to other parts of the Central Plains. If you want a lot, forget about the Central Plains. There are too many people involved there..." Lu Qi recalled the current situation in the Central Plains. cautioned.

When Zhang Hong heard this reminder, he immediately understood the reason and its meaning.

That is, this time's recommendation has a high probability of being implemented, and even if it is not chosen in the Central Plains, it can definitely be implemented.

Just working under Li Jue and others is as difficult as seeking skin from a tiger. The risk factor is relatively high. It may be difficult to reason with these people.

However, if you work in the Western Region, the benefits and subsequent development seem to be more profitable.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Hong glanced at Cabbage and nodded seriously.

There is a new trade route and a new market waiting for you to open up, and it would be better to have an official identity.

"Have you decided?" Lu Qi looked at the two people and found nothing unusual, then asked again.

Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. If the other party has such merit, the reward he deserves will still be given, but because of his identity, he has changed his name...

"Then I want two, and give one of them to him!" Zhang Hong immediately made up his mind, pointed at Cabbage beside him, and said clearly. (End of chapter)
