"The starting point of Fu Bawang is to put people first." Yang Anxuan stood up and said in a majestic voice: "The next government affairs should be people-oriented, and implemented around 'reducing people's burdens, increasing people's benefits, and satisfying people's opinions.'"
When Yang Anxuan said "The Beginning of Overlord" from his mouth, Xin He and others responded respectfully. At this moment, Yang Anxuan was extraordinary in their eyes, exuding the aura of a king. They share weal and woe with Yang Anxuan, and their personal future and the rise and fall of their family are closely linked to Yang Anxuan.
Yang Anxuan waved his right arm ambitiously, drawing an arc in the air vigorously, and said: "Not only should we make the corvee lighter and reduce the punishment, but we should also let the people truly feel peace and joy."
Xin He smiled and said, "My lord, under your rule, established schools, built water conservancy projects, and built sales homes to provide housing for the elderly and support for the young. The people are grateful."
Xi Bijiang flattered him and said: "Master Meng said, 'I am old and old, and I am as old as others; young and young, I am as young as others. The world can be managed in the palm of your hand, and if you practice it personally, you can achieve hegemony."
Yang Anxuan laughed and said: "I am a fool who has a small manpower and relies on the joint efforts of all the publics. When the success is achieved, I will share peace with all the publics."
Xin He and others all bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Yang Anxuan said: "The people who are good to the herdsmen are officials. Therefore, it is very important to select talents and appoint them as officials. In addition to gradually recruiting talents through the imperial examination, we must also strengthen the evaluation and supervision of officials. The honest ones will be promoted, and the corrupt ones will be promoted." He was demoted. In addition to Xunxing, Yu intended to set up an examination department, which was specifically responsible for the administration of examinations for county and county officials. "
Yang Anxuan set up six Cao Cao, Xinhe Yonggong's Mansion left Chief Shi, in charge of officials and temples;
The official Cao Yu is Yu Huan. He is mediocre but very obedient. He is also from the Yanling Yu family, a high-ranking family. Yang Anxuan wants to use the reputation of the Yu family to win over the aristocratic family; while the ancestral official Cao Yu Liu Lun is the third son of the Xiangyang family Liu Na, who is also the third son of the Xiangyang family Liu Na. The puppet Yang Anxuan set up, Xin He must agree with Xin He before any major events can be implemented.
When the Li Cao examines the officials, Yu Huan comes from a noble family, so it is inevitable that he will be biased. Yang Anxuan set up a separate examination department, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Li Cao, so that Xin He can directly manage the affairs of the examiners and save Xin He from arguing with Yu Huan.
"The Jiankang Imperial Examination was unprecedentedly grand, with 16,000 candidates taking the exam," Yang Anxuan said, "It shows that there are many scholars in the world who have no way of becoming officials, and the imperial examination will eventually replace the nine-level Zhongzheng system."
Xin He was born into a poor family, Xi Pijiang was from an aristocratic family, and Zhao Tian was a commoner. The three of them had different feelings about the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system. They listened respectfully to Yang Anxuan's impassioned speech.
"It is not advisable to be too diligent in recruiting scholars, otherwise the official positions are limited and the newly recruited scholars will not know how to place them." Xi Pijiang couldn't help but said: "I heard that Jiankang recruited 1,200 scholars this time, and most of them became subordinates. Going to Ningzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places, hundreds of people became sergeants and abandoned their positions.".Ь.
Yang Anxuan heard this situation reported by the Department of Commercial Affairs. Yang Anxuan nodded and said, "So I decided to start the selection process from the counties when Xiangyang opens a new subject."
Looking at everyone, Yang Anxuan recalled the imperial examination system of the Song and Ming Dynasties in his mind, made some modifications, and said slowly: "Jiankang's selection of scholars this time is divided into quotas according to states and counties. There is merit in this. Yu plans to divide the imperial examination into three steps. , divided into county examination, county examination, and finally the Xiangyang imperial examination."
Xi Pijiang thought for a moment and said, "My lord, please tell me in detail."
"First there is the county examination. Those who pass the examination in the county where their household registration is located are called county students; county students go to the county for a re-examination, and those who pass the exam are called county students; county students go to Xiangyang to take the imperial examination, and those who pass the exam are called Jinshi."
Xi Bijiang said: "My lord is promoting Confucianism and building schools under his rule. More and more people are studying. There will be more and more county students, county students and Jinshi. In the future, there will be overcrowding."
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "The students are selected through examinations. The quota for county students is determined based on the number of household registrations in the county. One hundred households can have one quota for county students. If the academic style is excellent, the quota can be increased by 10 to 20%."
"County students can enroll as teachers in Xiang, teach children in the countryside, and be recruited by the county government as officials." Yang Anxuan thought for a moment and said, "The county government will conduct an assessment of county students every year. Those who excel in the assessment are recommended to go to the county high school to take the county examination." If you fail to pass the exam twice, you will be disqualified from being a county student."
Yang Anxuan thought
When the official school did not flourish, the county official school was almost in vain. He vigorously promoted Confucianism and built schools in various counties. In the past few years, the official school gradually emerged under his rule. The official school at the county level was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the chief registrar, which was obviously no longer suitable. .
After thinking about it, Yang Anxuan said: "Each county has added a post of teaching envoy, ranking in the ninth rank, to manage the county schools, teachers and county students. Then a Confucian teacher will be selected from the schools to teach classics, preach and teach. . There were originally five officials and scribes in the county, and the management of the students in the county was left to them."
Both Xin He and Xi Pijiang praised: "My lord, this move has standardized Confucianism, and its merits will last forever."
Yang Anxuan continued: "In the year following the county examination, the county government recommends qualified county students to the county government to take the examination and be admitted as county students. The proportion of county students must also be controlled. What do you think is the appropriate ratio for the admission of county students?"
Xin He said: "Judging from the number of people who came to take the examination in Xiangyang and Jiankang, Yu believes that the number of people taking part in the imperial examination should not be too large. It should be controlled at about two to three thousand, and one out of ten should be selected. It is not difficult to resettle every three years. If more than 700 people were selected at once like the year before last, it might be difficult to arrange. Based on this, the number of county students should not be too large."
"The number of students in the county will range from dozens to hundreds, with each county having more than a thousand people and as few as hundreds. Yu ruled the nine states (Yongzhou, Beiyongzhou, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, Beiyizhou, Sizhou, There are eighty-seven counties in Yanzhou, Beijizhou, and Beiqingzhou. County students, county students, and imperial examinations are repeated every three years. How about one out of twenty?" Yang Anxuan asked Xin Hedao.
Xin He calculated for a while and said: "So the total number of county students will be around 60,000. Take one out of twenty. The first time, there will be more than 3,000 county students. From now on, the number will increase every three years, and the number will also increase rapidly. It will break through ten thousand people.”
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. First of all, we can control the number of people taking the examination. We can also determine the number of people taking the examination based on the number of household registrations in the prefecture and county. We can also control the increase or decrease in the proportion, so we don't have to worry about too many people taking the imperial examination."
"In addition, those who can pass the examination of county students are all knowledgeable people. If you plan to select officials from among county students, the county's meritorious officers, recorders of history, councilors, chief administrators, county magistrates, and county lieutenants can all be selected from the county students. We choose the best in life, and I believe many people are willing to join the officialdom as early as possible. After all, only one in ten people are accepted by the imperial examination, so it is better to join the officialdom early than to compete once every three years."
Xin He said sincerely, "My lord, you are right."
Yang Anxuan said: "Yu is just giving a rough idea. The specific implementation will be agreed upon between Yanmao, Qingyuan (characterized by Yu Huan), and Yuanhe (characterized by Liu Lun), and then we will retaliate against Yu."
After talking about the imperial examination, Yang Anxuan looked at Xi Pijiang and said: "Pijiang wants to re-evaluate the penalties and abolish harsh punishments. I returned from Suiyang to Xiangyang and inspected the prison situation along the way. I found that many cases were sentenced to too heavy a sentence and the punishment was too harsh. There are also unjust cases. Yu said many times in Xuchang and Nanyang, "The punishments are not serious, and they are all reduced. You organize the manpower to lower the penalties again, and re-examine the criminals in prison. Especially the death row prisoners must report to Yu Zhi. You cannot In vain."
This is how Xi Jinping practices respecting oneself.
Yang Anxuan thought for a while and then said: "In the Han Dynasty, the Three Elders were established to teach the people with high moral and respectable elders. This method can be repeated in the countryside. It may be trialled in selected places when opening up frontiers. If it is effective, it can be widely promoted."
"As officials, they must listen to the people's opinions," Yang Anxuan said: "Officials in prefectures, counties, and counties must go to the countryside regularly to understand the people's conditions, listen to the people's opinions, and accept people's advice. They must monitor local political customs and people's conditions. If there are any abnormalities, they must go level by level. Report for disposal."
He glanced at Xin He and others, and said: "No one is perfect, and there are many mistakes in what you do if you are ignorant. You can only speak boldly, and those who speak are not guilty. You should also listen to the blunt words of your subordinates and the people. Then change it, if not, then encourage it.”
Xin He and others should be.
Yang Anxuan smiled, stretched, and said, "When I returned from Suiyang this time, I felt that Xiangyang was a little small."
Xin He and Xi Pijiang looked at each other and tried to figure out the meaning of Yang Anxuan's words.
Zhao Tian has been with Yang Anxuan for the longest time and knows his intentions. He smiled and said, "My lord grew up in Luoyang when he was a child. Xiangyang is naturally not as big as Luoyang."
Xi Bijiang's mind was moved. Yang Anxuan had proposed to the imperial court to return the capital to Luoyang, so he might have thought of moving the capital. Liu Yu is getting old and has lost his former courage. He has been defeated by his lord on the battlefield many times. The lord is worthy of being young and strong. In the future, he will aspire to dominate the world and establish himself as the Jin Dynasty. It is indeed inconvenient to take over Jiankang. Luoyang is the best choice.
Thinking of this, Xi Pijiang smiled
He said: "My lord once ordered Lu Zong, the former governor of Sizhou, to restore Luoyang. I heard that Lu governor reorganized the city and built houses according to the streets. Many merchants and people have moved into the city."
Xin He said: "As long as my lord makes another memorial to the emperor to return the capital to Luoyang, the wise people in the world will definitely go to Luoyang to live in peace. Yongming has captured more than ten thousand young people, so you might as well order him to enrich Luoyang with these people."
Yang Anxuan laughed and said: "When I was young, I grew up in Luoyang. I met the Song Immortal outside Luoyang City. I really miss this old capital. The new emperor has ascended the throne, but the old things can be brought up again. Yu Ying, please go to the emperor on behalf of Yu, and I will send you a petition again. Return to Luoyang."
Zhao Tian smiled and said: "Rebuilding Luoyang is not a day's work. Zhang Gongcao is good at constructing ingenuity. Why doesn't my lord order him to take charge of this matter."
At this time, Zhang Gang was still in Anlu City and went to Jiangxia County. The new siege equipment developed by Zhang Gang made great achievements. Yang Anxuan rewarded him for his military achievements and awarded him the fifth rank of Zhenwei General, which was unique among the six Cao Cao officials.
Originally Yang Anxuan wanted Zhang Gang to return to Xiangyang, but Zhang Gang tasted the benefits of military service and took the initiative to ask Ying to help Shen Tianzi guard Anlu City. He was ambitious to design some defense equipment. .Ь.
Yang Anxuan pondered for a moment and said, "I asked Wen Qi beforehand. If he is willing to wait until next spring before leaving, it won't be too late."
Zhao Tian smiled and said: "I think, although Zhang Gongcao is greedy for military glory, he probably can't help but go there if he is assigned such a major task as rebuilding Luoyang."
If we want to move the capital to Luoyang, repairs alone are not enough, we must continue to build momentum. Yang Anxuan had already made a plan in his mind and said, "I plan to invite monks and Taoists in Luoyang to save the souls of the dead for Emperor An, and also invite eminent monks to station in Xiluoyang to dig grottoes in the Longmen Mountain area to spread the Dharma."
Xin He smiled bitterly, not knowing whether his master really believed in Taoism and Buddhism, and often set his sights on monks and Taoists. At that time, in order to appease Liangzhou, monks and Taoists were recruited into Liangzhou. Several more temples and Taoist temples were built in Liangzhou, but the move to engrave Buddhas on Mount Moshan seemed to have been ignored. This time we plan to dig a grotto in Longmen. I don’t know how much manpower and financial resources it will cost.
Yang Anxuan thought of Zhi Miaoyin in Chang'an City. This nun was good at dancing and liked to be in the limelight. She was entrusted to take care of the Luoyang Buddhist Association. She must be doing good things. Take your time and write to her yourself to see if she is willing to go.
Zhao Tiandao: "Yongming (characterized by Liu Zhong) wrote a letter saying that the naval battle cleared the battlefield and recovered the remains of the Song army's boats. Although these boats were burned by fire, they could be put together and repaired to rebuild seven or eight boats. Is it necessary? repair?"
Although the keel warships are powerful, their hulls are small and difficult to fight across the sea. Therefore, Liu Zhong did not lead the ships south. In the future, when attacking by sea, the boats can be used to transport troops.
Thinking that the boat can transport thousands of people at a time, Yang Anxuan had an idea and ordered people to hang up the map and said: "Liu Yu strictly controlled the checkpoints and did not allow people to cross the river, so he asked Yongming to repair the boat and transport people to Yong by sea in the future. territory."
Running his fingers along the coastline, Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "The sea area is vast. In addition to the land of Sanwu, there are also Wei and Yan. We can even accept people from Baekje and Goguryeo to settle here. We ordered Yang Zijing, the governor of Beiqingzhou, to go there in the name of doing business. We gathered people from Wei, Yan, Baekje, Goguryeo and other places to come to Yong."
