Regarding Li Shimin's statement, Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang were also a little helpless, but naturally they would not participate in such a thing, even though the other two parties involved in the matter were their sons.
If this were placed in the context of the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it would be necessary to write a palace battle drama of several million words, and then decide who will be the emperor, and finally inherit the throne, and the story will be over.
After all, that position seems to be the end point. As for what to do in that position, it seems that I can only enjoy it.
But in today's Tang Dynasty, neither of them has any other ideas. Let's not talk about the relationship, let's talk about the current situation. The two of them don't want their sons to fight to the death. The most important thing is that they don't want to fight. , what others say is of no use.
"Then let us reveal this information here? In fact, we don't know much. These powerful families have many ways to know this." Empress Changsun sighed, and she was naturally talking about these assigned scholars. Performance situation.
"They probably want to know more about my attitude. Just say I'm happy." Li Shimin shook his head.
"knew."
Once Li Shimin relaxes, the news will be transmitted very quickly.
It's easy to keep something secret when it should be kept secret, but if you don't want to keep it secret, it's also easy to spread it out.
After these first-class candidates were arranged, more than 300 first-class candidates located near Chang'an City were the first to give feedback.
For today's scholars in the Tang Dynasty, in other words, their ultimate goal is to enter the court, leave a name in history, and be crowned king and prime minister. But now, with just this exam, they got this opportunity. In the past, even the imperial examination system would not have allowed them to join the officialdom at this age.
Especially now that many officials in Datang have not yet abdicated.
Of course, it was also because of the expansion of various departments in the Tang Dynasty that a large number of officials were needed, so they had the opportunity.
These were young people after all. When they got this opportunity, they were naturally excited and agreed directly.
After they agree to become officials, the follow-up work is very simple. They will have an internship period of up to two years, and during the internship period they will complete the same things as similar officials, and they will have the same power to handle daily affairs. .
If there are no mistakes within two years, or if the mistakes are within the allowed range, they will be assigned to a practical position that matches their grade.
This salary is already extremely generous, but in two years, they not only have to work, but also need to spare more than an hour to go to class every night, and even have full-day classes during their rest time.
Political class is a very important course that is closely related to their future work.
However, what many people pay attention to is not this at all, but how these people perform. Just like all newcomers, when these people first entered the officialdom, they were very serious, responsible, and attentive, and they completed their work. Meticulous, for fear of making the slightest mistake.
Naturally, Li Ke would not correct the performance of these people. At the same time, the jobs assigned to them by Li Ke were actually in a pretty good environment, and there were no such old people in them.
Their mentality must be preserved.
Don’t you see, how many young people in future generations are full of enthusiasm and have just joined the workforce. They are full of enthusiasm and work seriously and have not kept it for a few years. Instead, they have learned the essence after just a few days of dawdling. And often at this time, just because there are such old people around them. .
However, there are almost no such people in various departments in the three provinces of Datang, and it cannot be said that there are none. It should be said that the temporary increase in the number of jobs makes it impossible for everyone to relax.
If you want to have some leisure time, you will have to delay your work, and once you delay your work, the punishment in the Tang Dynasty will not be as light as in later generations.
So for the time being, this environment is still very good.
After joining the work, in the first few days, they were specially led to familiarize themselves with the environment and the work process. After three days, except for some special departments, most people began to take over part of the work.
They were a little rusty at first, but as time went by, they got involved in the work very quickly and completed it very efficiently.
These candidates are surviving tenaciously in various departments with amazing adaptability. When first-class candidates from all over the Tang Dynasty gradually come to Chang'an, the candidates near Chang'an have already shown super strong working ability in various departments.
This adaptability and demonstrated work ability surprised officials in many departments.
These candidates, their age, not to mention their conduct as a person and their way as an official, but just their ability to do things, they are amazing, and they have a feeling of being like a fish in water. Is His Highness really so good at selecting candidates?
But they and some aristocratic families who got the news were just shocked by the abilities of these students, but there were some things that they couldn't see that had quietly happened in Datang.
Guanzhong is a village about 150 miles away from Chang'an City. As a village in the Guanzhong Plain, its population is not small. There are more than 130 households in this village, with a population of 600 to 700 people.
In fact, the original administrative units of the Tang Dynasty did not have village-level units. The administrative units at the township level and below were divided into four administrative levels: township, li, bao, and neighborhood. Four households were neighbors, five neighbors were bao, and five bao were li. Five miles is the countryside.
The number of households in each township is about 500. This was the original grassroots organizational structure of the Tang Dynasty. It is also because of this structure that there are ten miles and eight townships, because if the townships are divided according to the jurisdiction method of later generations, even the population No matter how dense the area is, there cannot be eight townships within ten miles.
But now it has been changed into the institutional units organized by villages, brigades, and townships in later generations.
The village became the smallest administrative unit, because a structure like the Tang Dynasty would continue to increase the number of townships.
The reason why it was designed like this before was to facilitate the statistics of the country's population, taxation and other services. The number of people at the grassroots level was very small, and the statistics could be done in a layer-by-layer structure.
But now the number of new people in Datang will skyrocket, and with the support of the security army, manual statistics and other aspects will be more convenient. As for tax payment, the most important agricultural tax is currently basically cancelled, and there is a high probability that it will not continue in the future. Charge.
Then the greatest convenience of this setting will have no effect, and using village-level units, divided according to administrative jurisdictions, will be more conducive to the collective processing of resources.
For example, in plain areas, where there is more land, the number of households in a village may be several hundred, and the cultivated land around them is enough to allocate.
In some places with relatively poor land, the number of households in each village will naturally be reduced.
These are easier to adjust.
The most important thing is to facilitate later population migration.
