Not to mention, the current group of children from aristocratic families who have achieved academic success but have no place to accommodate them for the time being. What they were called back to their respective places to do. Li Ke knows, they also know, everyone knows, but this is the family members. The reason why it is so powerful in the early stage.
The country is developing, but they are the only people who can use it. This is fundamental.
This time the six ministries of the imperial court were split into twelve ministries and many unprecedented positions were created, and quite a few departments would set up subordinate functional departments in various places. These required a large number of officials to be supplemented, and these officials could only be recruited from these powerful families. The disciples will take charge.
Even Li Ke has no way, because in this era, there are only so many people who can use it.
For high-level ministers, Li Ke had no problem selecting a few people, but there were tens of thousands of officials all over the world. Where would Li Ke go to train them? It is impossible to fill in the people of his Yuelai Trading Company. If you let the people of Yuelai Trading Company be accountants and intelligence officers, that's no problem, but you can let them be officials.
That gap is huge.
Li Ke has never been a person who delays civil affairs, especially now that Datang is in a period of rapid development. The appointment of incompetent people as officials will affect the local development of Datang.
Therefore, even Li Ke can only use these people. Why the disciples of the powerful families left is not only because they have read books, but because almost many of their elders are high-ranking officials, and they can do so in the form of family letters. Ask your elders how to deal with these things.
Moreover, they have been influenced by their ears and eyes since they were young, and they are very advantageous in handling many things.
Take the Fang family in Qinghe as an example. Fang Xuanling's nephew works as a small official in the local area. He doesn't understand some things. As a nephew, he asks his uncle how to handle the matter. Fang Xuanling is not required to go through the back door. He didn't ask Fang Xuanling for help or anything like that, he just asked for advice on how to handle things for an official.
How can Fang Xuanling not teach this kind of thing that is beneficial to the country and the people? Can Li Ke still stop him? This is the advantage!
The impact of the environment is extremely terrifying. How many scientists did the Qian family produce in later generations? This is the advantage of family roots!
The advantage of ordinary people is their large number. Such a large number will always produce geniuses. Overall, this is naturally beneficial to the country.
Shaking his head, Li Ke put this matter behind his mind and ignored it. If ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty wanted to have a place in the court, it would take at least twenty years to start. In twenty years, the strength to limit the expansion of the powerful families would be That's it.
In fact, this is also a disadvantage of the powerful family, because their power has reached its peak and cannot continue to rise, so Li Ke at least restricts them a little, which is to weaken them.
An Xin and Li Yuanli listened to the music all night at Tanchun Tower, found a few good talents, talked with the shopkeeper of Tanchun Tower, and recruited some actors. Li Ke forgot all the political affairs in the court. This is what I, Li Ke, like to do.
Three days later, there was a new court meeting. The last time Li Shimin specifically asked him to come to court, Li Ke naturally came. If he didn't come... even the King of Qin would be beaten.
But what Li Ke didn't expect during this court meeting was that some things in history still happened. Although there were some differences from the original ones, overall, it was indeed a big event!
Because Li Shimin carried out a large-scale award and title. Almost all the court officials, princes, princesses, etc. have received awards.
For example, Changsun Wuji changed the titles of Zhao Guogong and Sikong, and added Zuopushe to Zhongshu Province, making him the official.
Li Xiaogong's title as Prince of Hejian County was not increased, but he was granted the title of Sikong and was given the position of Minister of the Military Department.
Wei Zheng was still Zheng Guogong, but he was granted the title of Sikong as Chairman of the Supervisory Committee.
Fang Xuanling was granted the title of Duke of Liang, and Gao Shilian was granted the title of Duke of Shen and served as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Cheng Yaojin changed his title to Lu Guogong, the general of the left army, and the minister of the military department.
Everyone's titles have not changed much from those in history. Oh, and there is one person who rose to the top in one fell swoop.
That is Huo Gang, who was granted the title of Duke of Yong'an County and served as Minister of the Central Intelligence Department.
The functions of the Ministry of Land and Resources, including the agricultural department, were handed over to Gao Jifu, a former Zhongshushe native.
Similarly, the thrones of Li Tai and others were redistributed, but some of the positions that Li Tai and Li Ke held in the eighth year of Zhenguan were all revoked. Although the titles of the princes and princesses have been increased, the actual positions have been abolished. Unless they may take office in the future, they may be re-appointed. Now, these positions have little meaning.
Not only the princes and princesses, but also the posthumous posthumous titles of some officials in the future will be cancelled, and will be replaced by some honorary titles.
Among these people, the ones that have changed the least are Li Ke and Li Chengqian. Neither of them has changed much. Not to mention Li Chengqian, he is the prince, but Li Ke's previous position as a distant leader has been revoked, which means that he is now the only one who has changed a lot. The title of King Qin and all others were revoked.
Li Ke's smile was so happy.
Seeing Li Ke like this, everyone was completely speechless. Those who knew knew that your position was revoked, and those who didn't knew thought you had gained more official positions. This reaction was outrageous. The point is... not only Not only Li Ke, but also Li Tai were like this, they couldn't even close their mouths with smiles.
Li Shimin, who was on the stage, looked at Li Ke's expression and said in a neutral tone: "The last appointment will be announced below. Many people have made outstanding contributions to the development of Datang in the past few years, and among them King Qin Li Ke made the greatest contribution, I wonder if you all agree."
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, before the ministers could stand up to agree, Li Ke spoke loudly: "Father, I do not agree. Although my son has made a small contribution to the development of the Tang Dynasty, my son has made a small contribution to the development of the Tang Dynasty. I can only talk on paper and cannot implement it in practice. The many ministers who are really responsible for practical matters are the ones who have worked hardest and made the greatest contributions."
Ministers: "..." Your reaction is really speechless.
However, ministers still stood up one after another and said that His Highness King Qin's contribution to the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled.
"Well, since you Li Ke said that you are just talking on paper, the last department established today will be appointed by Li Ke as Shangshu." Li Shimin didn't care about Li Ke's reaction at all and announced it directly.
Chang Lin, who was next to him, followed directly, took out a new edict, and read it loudly.
"My disciple: Today, the Tang Dynasty is developing rapidly, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The third son Ke has made significant contributions to the development of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the National Strategic Development Decision-making Department has been established to make important decisions for the development of the country, with Li Ke serving as Shangshu. The Lord shall implement it. March 7, twenty-one year of the Gregorian calendar of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Ke: "..."
He was completely dumbfounded. Good guy, this is the name he came up with. Has Old Li learned his own tricks?
It's just that Lao Li's imperial edict was issued, so Li Ke could only accept the position with a grimace. However, he comforted himself and just accepted it. This was also a good thing. He had to deal with Datang anyway. It is a good thing to have such a reputation for development. It can be regarded as a famous example.
