"Fang Aiqing, come in!"
Hearing this, Chongzhen lifted up the curtain of Luan Jia and took a look before getting out of Luan Jia.
After entering Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Guiwei immediately took out a booklet.
"Your Majesty, this is the information compiled by the Ministry of Personnel about the people who are waiting for the military examination! The Jin Yiwei side has also investigated it simultaneously. Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Wang Chengen immediately took it with both hands and presented it to Chongzhen. Chongzhen did not read it immediately after taking it, but looked at Fang Guiwei.
"Tell me first, how many of these five hundred people are clean?"
"Your Majesty, there are only forty-three people who have not made any mistakes."
Fang Guiwei immediately said after responding: "Among the five hundred people, the one who has been waiting for the longest time is the one who has been waiting for the longest time in Wanli, thirty-two years, and the waiting time is twenty-four years.
The shortest one is the fifth year of Tianqi, and it will be more than two years later. The oldest one is fifty-one years old.
Due to various reasons, 132 people gave up and 27 people died due to various reasons.
Of the remaining three hundred and forty-one, only forty-three did not violate the Ming Law. "
After hearing this, Chongzhen felt very speechless and felt sad for those who were waiting to be promoted.
They all endured it so damn hard that they didn’t even wait for the waiting list.
This society is like this. It seems that becoming an official is the only way out. I would rather stay there than do anything else.
"Fang Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"this……"
Fang Zhuangwei was silent for a moment, and then gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court bears most of the responsibility for these military affairs that violate the civil laws.
Martial arts candidates are not allowed to leave the capital, and their salaries are low. They can only do some illegal things in order to survive.
I believe that according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who should be punished will be punished. After the punishment is over, the compensation will be compensated, and the silver will be compensated with the martial arts examination candidate rank. However, because it was an active violation, the compensation was halved.
In addition... no waiting list is allowed within three years, as a warning to others!
I have already had someone calculate it. It requires one hundred and twenty thousand, one hundred and fifteen taels, and most of them have been reduced by half. The actual supply is sixty-eight thousand, three hundred taels. There are specific details in the brochure! "
After Fang Guiwei finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, waiting for Chongzhen's anger.
If you make a mistake and have to make amends, this is simply excusing the martial arts.
On the other hand, Chongzhen looked at Fang Guiwei with great interest. What this minister did was similar to the state compensation in later generations.
The ideas are quite avant-garde and things are done well.
"Just do as you say!"
This time it was Fang Guiwei's turn to be stunned.
Chongzhen looked at the stunned Fang Zhuangwei and said calmly: "If there are problems with the system, adjust it. If there are no mistakes, then implement it completely. It is very reasonable. I am not an ignorant person."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
After Fang Guangwei saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, I have considered this for the people who are currently waiting for promotion to the martial arts. I will arrange for those innocent people to go to the 21st Guards.
These are all obtained by martial arts. Whether it is martial arts, art of war, or strategy, they are all passable. Why not let them lecture the soldiers of the 21st Guards for half an hour every day?
Anyway, idle time is idle, so it is better to use it rationally. Those who will be promoted to the military in the future can go to various health centers across the country to give lectures.
Not only can they be familiar with military affairs, but they can also use what they have learned, and they can also improve the awareness of the officers and soldiers in the guard station, killing three birds with one stone.
Secondly, I suggest that the waiting time should not exceed six years. During the waiting period, you can return to your place of residence to reduce the pressure of life, but you must go to the local guard station to practice to prevent the imperial court from issuing orders and martial arts to be wasted. "
"Can!"
Chongzhen's eyes lit up: "The system to be introduced needs to be modified. The officials will be responsible for this matter and will submit it to the cabinet before submitting it to me."
"I obey the decree!"
After a few more words, Fang Guiwei left happily.
The emperor can listen to the advice of his ministers, which is the greatest encouragement to his ministers.
Looking at Fang Guiwei leaving, Chongzhen nodded. It can be seen from the matter of being pushed that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel really considers the officials and the court.
After Fang Guiwei left, Gao Shiming, the censor of the royal horse, came again, delivering the cabinet's imperial edict on the preliminary draft of next year's martial arts.
After reading it several times, Chongzhen wrote accurately: "After drafting the edict, it will be sent to the capitals of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in a hurry for three hundred miles, and then it will be spread from the state capitals to all counties and towns."
It’s not that the imperial edict is difficult, it’s that to adopt general martial arts, the rules and standards need to be refined and announced simultaneously.
…
Early the next morning, the children selling newspapers began to run in the streets and alleys.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers... The imperial court will start martial arts in the next year!"
"There is a new standard for martial arts, adopt general martial arts!"
…
The imperial examination was a big event at any time. When the people heard about the imperial examination, they immediately became interested.
But when I heard carefully that it was about martial arts, most of my interest suddenly disappeared.
"Hey, I'm so happy for nothing. It turns out to be Wu Ke. Isn't this thing a scam?"
"That's right, I know a person who has been in the military examination for fourteen years. His life is so miserable that he might as well join the army. He may already have thousands of households."
"So what if I pass the exam? There are so many things to push forward. I guess I won't be able to walk by the time it's my time."
"What's the use of reforming the martial arts examination system? If you don't clear the channels for promotion, the exam will be in vain."
"Let's go, let's break up, don't waste time!"
…
"We are selling newspapers. Come and take a look. The imperial court has changed the martial arts examination system. Anyone who has won the top three will be postponed for six years at the latest. Moreover, the last person in the top three is from a fifth-grade official position, which is equivalent to a thousand households."
When everyone was about to leave, a child selling newspapers shouted at the top of his lungs and instantly pulled back the people who were scattering.
There was silence at first, and then a swarm of swarms surrounded the child selling newspapers.
After a while, everyone finally got the newspaper and slowly looked at the contents of the section on the court's decision.
Examination items, standards, systems to be introduced for general martial arts, etc.
"Really, it's only been six years since I was elected. Your Majesty is so wise!"
"Six years, I can afford it, and my salary will be based on my rank!"
"Join the army. It's hard enough to live in a hundred households in ten years. There's no big danger yet, so you can give it a try!"
"Who told you that it's not dangerous? Didn't you see that the top three martial arts competitions require you to go to Jiubian for half a year? You can only be transferred back if you pass the exam. If you don't, just stay there honestly!"
"That is, the other eight border towns are fine, but if they are assigned to Liaodong, they will be finished."
"This is a military general. What we need is someone who can lead troops to fight. Otherwise, what would you do? If you just find scholars to lead troops, what else are you doing in martial arts?"
"Okay, stop arguing. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, leave. No one is forcing you."
"I'm really speechless. What does the court think? If you want to participate in the martial arts competition, you have to sign up with the registration form in the newspaper. Doesn't this force me to buy a newspaper?"
"You can't even afford a newspaper, so the martial arts exam is no longer possible for you."
…
The imperial edict to open martial arts courses next year hastened three hundred miles towards the prefectures and counties of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.
At the same time, it also spread to Luoyang.
The people in the city were talking, some sighed secretly, some were disdainful, and some were gearing up, preparing their luggage and heading towards Beijing.
And Luoyang Post is more than ten miles outside the Lijing Gate of the west gate of Luoyang City.
On the official road, more than ten people stood quietly. The person in the front had a calm face, and the occasional movement of his eyes showed the myriad thoughts in his heart.
