When everyone saw Zhang Bao, they all stood up.
He looked at the emperor in front of him with some fear.
For all of them, they admire Zhang Bao very much.
For those imperial examination princes, when they first started studying, they were taught the obscure articles before they were taught.
Do you think it is useful for real officials?
Maybe not too much actually.
But there is no way. How much you master these useless things is the benchmark for measuring talents in every era.
In order to have a foundation that can serve as a stepping stone, they must do this.
This process must be carried out in accordance with the rules that have been established for so many years.
So for so many years, these literati actually didn't know what they were going to do.
From the beginning, they knew that learning and excellence will lead to officialdom.
Therefore, they continue to study hard, and in the process, they continue to get to know those so-called senior officials in the government.
But they don't know exactly what they will do after becoming officials, how they will do things for the people, and how they will be honest and upright officials.
All they knew was to memorize these damn literary things and then get to know those high-ranking officials.
After they take over, they will actually find that what they know is of no use at all.
On the contrary, what can be used in the process of being an official is what I learned, heard, and used in the process of contacting those high-ranking officials.
It can be used directly in officialdom.
When they continue to follow this pattern.
Suddenly I discovered that in this process, the most important thing is to please the superiors and deal with the subordinates.
Originally, in their common understanding, they did not think these things were wrong.
But since Zhang Bao came, they discovered that they could do the same thing as an official by understanding the systems and principles of doing things he left behind.
It turns out that the things they were accustomed to cognizing before were all wrong.
Some people are scared, some are uneasy, some are excited, and some are confused.
For these young people.
The things they experienced during this process were constantly eroding their cognition.
Fortunately, these perceptions are actually not too much.
The roots of this understanding are not too deep.
This change in cognition can be changed at any time.
The touch point of this change lies in the new things Zhang Bao brought to them.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
One of them reacted first and knelt down in front of Zhang Bao.
Only then did the others come to their senses and quickly followed the man and knelt down towards Zhang Bao.
"Everyone, get up."
"Are you surprised, why are you here?"
"And why am I here?"
Zhang Bao nodded to everyone and sat down towards the front.
When everyone saw Zhang Bao's appearance, they looked at each other and still stood there, not knowing how to answer Zhang Bao's words.
"sit down."
"According to the procedure today, there were some arrangements to be made after the end, but I canceled them all and specially summoned you here."
"You may have superiors, mentors, and classmates who will tell you some ways to be an official, but in this process, I believe you are also conflicted."
"Do you have this idea?"
Zhang Bao said to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, and it turned out that Zhang Bao was telling the truth.
For all of them, they are actually in a dilemma during this process.
On the one hand, it is their superiors or mentors who teach them how to serve as officials, and in this process, although they have reached the age of retirement because of the rules set by Zhang Bao.
But precisely because of this, they will vigorously support those younger generations.
I hope that when the younger generations get up, they will remember their previous support and be able to have some control over things in the court.
On the other hand, Zhang Bao was determined to stop them.
It’s not just personal connections, but more importantly the way things are done, and the changes in many things that happened before in the process.
There are some things that their veterans finally took the initiative to do.
And we are waiting for these young people to continue to flourish after taking over.
But they were all stopped by Zhang Bao and the others.
There are even many cases where, after things are stopped, the relevant personnel have to be held accountable, and it is also common for them to be arrested and put in jail.
Even many veterans, after they retire, will be arrested and brought back to their hometowns for justice.
There was a period of time when people were in panic.
At the beginning, these young officials did not understand what they had experienced in this process, and they did not think that the actions of their veterans were wrong.
But when they saw the whole process of some things from Zhang Bao, they realized that many of Zhang Bao's practices and punishments were not groundless.
Just like disaster relief in some areas, many veterans strongly advocated that the court allocate money and food during the entire process and they took the lead in disaster relief.
The disaster was indeed alleviated later.
At that time, many young officials involved were very proud.
However, they did not know that during the disaster relief process.
Of the one million taels allocated by the imperial court, only half a million taels actually reached the hands of officials.
When it was distributed to the disaster area, there were only one hundred thousand taels left.
When the local officials in the disaster area spent another 10,000 taels to buy some things such as chaff and rice husks and distributed them to the victims, the victims did not starve to death.
After all, these things like chaff and rice husks can keep people alive better than things like bark, grass roots, and Guanyin soil.
This is the rule of officialdom.
This has been a consistent process for disaster relief over the years.
Officials at all levels are fed first, and then the common people have some dregs to eat.
In this way, the court gained a reputation of caring for the people, officials at all levels made a lot of money, and the people at least did not starve to death.
A win-win situation for all three parties.
Those young officials have not yet reaped the benefits, so they naturally do not know the inside story about many things.
This is not a deliberate concealment, but it is because you are not at a key link in this industry chain and have no chance to participate.
In these industrial chains, if someone is greedy for money, someone is destined to work.
Those veterans also rose from this position step by step.
But Zhang Bao naturally does not allow this situation to exist.
If this is the case, the court can simply provide 10,000 taels of silver directly, or the court can directly purchase things such as chaff and chaff, so that the number of people who can help can be even larger.
