In late autumn, the weather is getting cooler.
Gongyuan!
Crowded!
Although the Enko was opened in a hurry, it could not stop the scholars' enthusiasm. Although before the Enko was opened, there were already restrictions among the courtiers.
But the Enke soldiers who participated in this special event were better than everyone expected.
Sure enough, all scholars will understand that the first imperial examination was held after the new emperor ascended the throne.
After another great rise, ministers praised this dynasty as the sage of literary style.
In the joy, some Cambodian officials suggested whether the number of tributes could be increased. Naturally, the courtiers also praised it, but there were differences on the amount of the increase.
Among them, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites were the most controversial. The Ministry of Personnel did not want to increase the number of officials. There were only so many redundant officials without positions in the court. If so many new scholars were added, there would be no suitable official positions.
The Ministry of Rites naturally wanted to add more places. The Ministry of Rites was the representative of scholars. He wished that all the courtiers were from Kogong, but he looked down on those who relied on their family background.
This kind of argument is correct, but in the end, this issue was naturally pushed to the side of the Empress Dowager Cao. After all, the highest power of the Wu Dynasty now lies in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cao.
But Empress Dowager Cao was also hesitant. She agreed with both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites' proposal, which was correct, but she couldn't answer this at the moment.
Seeing this scene, Xie Yu rarely spoke again:
"My lords, the literary style of this dynasty has been greatly reviewed, and I am very happy to meet Enke again. I have come here often to read books recently. I especially like the articles of encouragement to study by our ancestors and the emperor. I also admire the support of the emperor's literary style, which is naturally also yours. It’s hard work that led to today’s results.”
"However, the weather is already very cold. I have put on fur coats many times in the palace. I think it will be even more difficult for the scholars."
"In such a situation, what will the late emperor do when he is in power?"
Knowing that he was not being followed, he said to himself: "In my opinion, the quota should be expanded to 500.
This number of people was unexpectedly large, and the Ministry of Rites was naturally overjoyed. Regardless of whether Xie Yu actually took power or not, he immediately expressed his approval.
"Your Majesty, you are the Holy Ming!"
But the officials became anxious and did not wait for them to say anything.
Xie Yu immediately said: "I discovered something else when I was studying recently. I hope all the ministers can answer my questions for me."
The officials had mixed expressions about the current issues. Empress Dowager Cao was not happy, but she did not interrupt Xie Yu's remarks.
Xie Yu: "I discovered that the dynasty divided the county system at the grassroots level into Xiaxian, Zhongxian, Shangxian, Wangxian and Jingxian.
The lowest standard population of a lower county is more than 10,000 people, but this time many scholars in Enke were only from a certain town. This town has a population of over 10,000, but why is it not a lower county?
There was a sudden silence in the court hall.
Yes, only people from the Ministry of Revenue answered this question.
I only heard someone from the Ministry of Households reply: "What the Holy One said is true, but it was only because during the founding period of the country, Tianding people were not well endowed, so we had to. Now that this dynasty has been in power for decades, the number of people has increased greatly... .”
Xie Yu stopped the Ministry of Household Affairs from continuing to speak, and did not let him say "but". He said with ambiguity: "I only see ten thousand people. For the lower county, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, can this happen?" "
At this time, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and even the Ministry of War finally reacted.
The emperor was "creating" jobs for them. Thinking of so many "old relationships" that had not yet been settled, they all agreed.
Although Xie Yu here used words that seemed to understand but did not understand, he modeled the difference between ten thousand households and ten thousand people, but he also made many people feel at ease.
For a moment, only the hesitant and injured Hubu and the half-injured Gongbu were left. The Xingbu seemed to agree.
Empress Dowager Cao's eyes became cold. This puppet and lame little emperor became very unexpected today!
Did he think of it himself?
Or is there someone behind the scenes?
It seems the latter is more likely, but who?
This kind of arrow will fall down many times, although
Of course, the people will definitely suffer. After all, the more officials there are, the greater the burden will be on the people.
The public-minded Right Prime Minister Qin Siyuan represents the opposition of ordinary people, but his followers are not very opposed.
Well, there is also a semi-autonomous rural tycoon from Maozhen who is also opposed. After all, people from the feudal dynasty have the right not to go to the countryside.
Although Xie Yu's behavior of only looking at people has a one-size-fits-all meaning, it will also bring many towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, expand employment opportunities for officials, and increase more tax revenue.
There is a beautiful scenery in front of people, but a crematorium behind them.
After going to court, he saw that the people serving around him had been replaced by a new batch, including the attendants and companions. Xie Yu was already prepared to leave.
However, you increased the amount of aromatherapy and changed the tiger and wolf model bed armor produced by Leng Gong three times a night. You are really good-looking and worthy of Xie Yu!
But Xie Yu, who already knew that he had to pay this price, had no choice but to persist.
With great difficulty, he persisted until 500 new tributes entered the court to take part in the imperial examination. Xie Yu, who had lost weight, finally had a chance to relax and sleep alone, preparing to inspect the imperial examination.
What a mascot! But we can't hang up at this time.
Jiying Palace!
Xie Yu, who had prepared for this day, even used the capital in the gourd mark, and finally hypnotized not only the three hundred Xinke Gongshi.
The other two hundred or so, firstly, they have all kinds of natural protective fields of different sizes on their bodies, and secondly, Xie Yu really can't withstand the backlash.
Xie Yu naturally knew that those with their own protective force fields were "talents", but he was still at the stage where he wanted quantity first, not price.
Let's first stabilize the basics of what we can do. Xie Yu, who has gone through time and space, still believes that he will open a "normal political school" with the devil's brand on these selected people, and he will not lose money.
When the results of the Imperial Examination came out, just as Xie Yu expected, the candidates he selected were all those with lower scores in the Entrance Examination.
The one with the highest ranking is only ranked over 180. It seems that they are all the ones who were sent to serve as officials.
However, in Xie Yu's mind, these dirty officials who do practical things are much better than those pragmatic and pure officials, which is exactly what Xie Yu wants.
Furthermore, there is another point. Most people who have their own protective force field come from a good family environment.
Most of them come from noble families, and in their hearts, family is more important than honesty and integrity.
However, in the era before Baidu, living in a feudal social environment with underdeveloped technology was also a kind of capital, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Just like in the college entrance examination questions, the word "ice cream" will not appear, so it is relatively fair.
Naturally, their scientific examination results were at the top, which was expected by Xie Yu.
At the end of the palace examination, Xie Yu was not qualified to make a judgment. Although there may be compromises, he had to follow the opinions of the ministers and Queen Mother Cao, and based on the scores, the top three in the palace examination, the number one, the second, and the top three. .
The idea of the ministers is to select the ones with the best results. Empress Dowager Cao followed the tradition of the Wu Dynasty and selected the ones with relatively poor backgrounds, so as not to control the powerful forces and maintain balance in the court.
In terms of governing the country, Empress Dowager Cao, who was born in a noble family and followed the late emperor for half her life, did have quite a lot of experience in governing the country.
This is also the main reason why most ministers agree that Empress Dowager Cao listens to politics behind the curtain.
The benefit was that after more than half a year, Xie Yu finally had the opportunity to touch the jade seal that represented the emperor's rights for the second time.
That feeling, that full state of restored vitality, Xie Yu said that if he returns to Funing Palace, he can fight three, well, four is also possible.
