"It's really unreasonable. This is simply a collective bribery to get an official!"
Zhang Xuezhou and others proudly promoted the idea of becoming an official in front of Jing Zhaoyi Mansion.
But more than a hundred meters away, a young man watching from a carriage felt his body trembling a little.
If the imperial bureaucracy is like this, the imperial court will not be able to continue its work.
But if everyone focuses on making money as an official, the country will not be far from ruin.
Correspondingly, this kind of thing is extremely disgusted by the superiors.
"Good...good to you Dongfang Shuo!"
After thinking for dozens of seconds, a name came to mind.
No matter what this guy has done before, he will use it to set an example when it is time to set an example.
"This guy's request for an official position is really on the edge of a knife!"
Accompanying the new emperor is still the top master Li Guang. .
His eyes were fixed on Zhang Xuezhou, who was wearing a copper-coin robe, and he felt that this guy was going to be unlucky. This time the new emperor wanted to seize a typical deterrent, and this guy was obviously the most typical one.
Although this kind of thing does not lead to death, it is inevitable to end the official career, and a beating is inevitable, and there will also be financial punishment.
"Master Marquis, should we make a law on this kind of thing? Anyone who dares to do this in the future will be punished with death?" Li Guang asked the new emperor casually.
"This...don't go too far!"
The new emperor thought for a few seconds, then waved his hands.
The new emperor just hated bribing those who were unlearned and unskilled in seeking office. After these people came to power, they were bound to be greedy, causing more harm than good to the court.
But he is still very welcoming to wealthy people.
It is naturally a sin to bribe officials with thirty to fifty and a half taels of gold, but to bribe officials with thirty to five thousand gold, the new emperor can meet them in person and even arrange a more personal position for these gods of wealth.
This sounds outrageous, but it's true.
Although the entire country was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Han royal family, and the royal family also had the right to mint coins, the court still needed more money to enter its accounts.
Without money, it is impossible to do things, and without money, it is difficult to maintain governance.
Countless people looked at the court eagerly, all trying to continuously take money and benefits from the court, but the source of the court's money was nothing more than mining, coinage, taxation and other methods.
The daily income is huge, but the daily expenditure is even bigger.
After several generations of emperors' continuous savings, the Han Dynasty was not at a point where it was unable to pay its ministers salaries, but under the influence of years of tradition, the new emperor also had a savings mentality and always wanted to have more money.
For example, fighting a war is a huge expense.
Li Guang wanted to fight every day, but he never thought about how much the court had to pay to fight a war.
In the simple thinking of some generals, there are legions on the frontier, and there are men and horses. As long as they mount their horses, they can fight their opponents fiercely.
But a war involves horses, armor, swords, crossbows, food, death pensions, bounties for killing enemies, and additional costs for subsequent replenishment of troops...
Each of these items is a huge expense.
The subsequent chain reactions caused repeated wars, which was a bottomless pit of human lives and money.
The new emperor's thoughts quickly spread out, and he quickly took them back when his thoughts were a little far away.
"If we really make this matter a law, our court will cut off half of its people," the new emperor waved his hand.
"Do so many people in our court come here with money?" Li Guangqi asked.
"It would be nice if you really spend money," Cintiq said dissatisfied: "There are many people who didn't spend a penny and got it all through connections."
"this……"
"Just recommend virtuous people from all over the country so that the court can have a few available people!"
The new emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the official establishment of the imperial court.
The Qin Dynasty was strong and the Han Dynasty was weak. It was not only the inheritance that was weak, but also many hidden disasters that were piled up.
Without a large-scale war, few ordinary people would change their lives and rise to power, leaving only the accumulation of powerful families.
There seemed to be many monks in the magical power realm and the solipsistic realm in the court, but the resources of these people were placed on some truly talented people. The new emperor felt that it was normal for the birth of true self realm monks.
These people sit in high positions in the court not because of their ability, nor because others are not good, but because these people have the advantage of resources and various convenient conditions for practice, which leads to superiority.
If these people are allowed to fight bravely and fiercely, the new emperor feels that most of them still lack the firepower.
This made the new emperor more willing to spend time cultivating young officials and making major personnel changes in the court.
As long as those corpses are replaced and others are given a chance, new support may emerge.
This is something Li Guang, who likes to fight, doesn't understand, and the new emperor is too lazy to explain these things to a person who only thinks about fighting.
His interest waned and he glanced at Zhang Xuezhou in the distance, who was encouraging everyone to spend money to get an official position, and then knocked on the carriage.
"call"
Wei Qing, who never spoke out while driving the carriage, let out a low cry, then raised his whip.
The carriage with the emblem of the Marquis Mansion turned around and quickly ran towards the palace.
"I think there are quite a lot of people available!"
Li Guang muttered.
This made the new emperor remain silent.
The three princes in the imperial court rotated, but none of them belonged to him. The new emperor only promoted Guan Fu to the position of Tai servant, the ninth minister.
But Guan Fu was brave and loyal, but his brain was not very bright, which made the new emperor feel a headache.
If he has people available, there is no need for him to push Guan Fu and others to the top.
Even the Li Guang in front of him is not reliable. If there was someone who could replace Li Guang, the new emperor would have replaced him long ago.
He closed his eyes to rest, and it wasn't until Wei Qing let out a 'shu' again after a long time that the new emperor opened his eyes.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the new emperor jumped out with light steps.
Li Guang, who followed the guard, cupped his hands and then bowed and said goodbye.
"Wei Qing, who do you think I can use here?"
After Li Guang left, the new emperor walked back to the side hall of Weiyang Palace.
He called to Wei Qing, who was waiting outside the side hall with his hands tied, and waved to him.
"As long as your Majesty wants to use it, there are people around him who can use it!"
Wei Qing pursed his lips before replying.
"You don't have to be afraid of offending anyone. Just talk to me seriously." The new emperor said with a headache: "For example, when can you replace Li Guang?"
"General Li Guang's Xuan Gong creation, General Cheng Bushi said that he is the number one among our great men, I..."
Wei Qing looked embarrassed, feeling that he could not replace Li Guang.
"With the training resources of our Han royal family, are you afraid that you can't beat Li Guang?" The new emperor said slightly angrily: "Doesn't this mean that the Li family is stronger than the royal family!"
"I am willing to fight tooth and nail to catch up with General Li Guang one day!"
Wei Qing knelt down with a pop, a slight sweat overflowing from his forehead.
"You are the most diligent person I have ever seen in practicing. You have practiced hard in the top swordsmanship secret books such as "Zhang Zhong's Swordsmanship Experience" and "Chongda's Swordsmanship Experience". Your swordsmanship is already extraordinary." The new emperor said: "You have also practiced grandson, Wu Qi’s art of war is not inferior to others in terms of art of war. You can only catch up with Li Guang, but it is inevitable that you will surpass him in the future!"
"Your Majesty, "Zhang Zhong's Swordsmanship Experience" and "Chongda's Swordsmanship Experience" cover Han's top swordsmanship, but I have not mastered this kind of swordsmanship." Wei Qing said honestly: "I think only those who have never learned swordsmanship can master this kind of swordsmanship. Similar to swordsmanship, as long as there is a shadow of swordsmanship in our minds, it is impossible to succeed in practice!"
"What are you talking about? Doesn't this mean that I can't master this swordsmanship?" the new emperor asked curiously.
"This is my premonition," Wei Qing said: "I feel that it is almost impossible for me to demonstrate this swordsmanship when I enter the magical realm. Maybe I can only choose some military skills. This... This will also make it difficult for me to pursue it in the future. Enter General Li Guang!"
Wei Qing looked solemn.
His words also caused the new emperor to frown.
Wei Qing would not lie to him, and if Wei Qing, who was a leader in spiritual practice, could say this, then there must be Wei Qing's reason.
Emperor Jing gave up "Zhang Zhong's Swordsmanship Experience" and "Chong Da's Swordsmanship Experience" in his early years, maybe he was aware of it early.
The most powerful secret book of vertical and horizontal swordsmanship is in the royal family, but no one can master it, which may even include myself.
This made the new emperor feel unhappy, and for a moment he just felt terrible.
