After the province and Huaidong were divided into government offices, the matter of imperial examinations was discussed.
The imperial examination is of great importance, related to the future Huai army control system and the foundation of rule.
So at this time Bu Zhi, Fu Youde and others were no longer silent.
After Wang Guangyang finished talking about the general strategy of selecting scholars through the imperial examination, Bu Zhao mentioned that the imperial examination must not only be in the system of three provinces and six ministries, but also the military must have military examinations.
"Your Majesty, if soldiers in the army want to be promoted now, they can only perform meritorious service on the battlefield. But in the future, with fewer wars, won't there be no channels for soldiers in the army to advance?"
"So I suggest that the imperial examination should not be limited to civil servants, but should also be conducted in the military to select candidates!"
Bu Zhi suggested.
When the world is in chaos, the soldiers of the army are fighting on the battlefield.
As long as you can decapitate people and perform meritorious service, you will be promoted, and there are many opportunities for meritorious service.
Just like the civil and military officials in the main hall, except for Shen Yi and Bu Zhi, other civil officials including Wang Guangyang seemed to be able to participate in political affairs and were the core ministers of the Huai Army.
But their grade is far inferior to that of generals like Fu Youde. A military general can win a battle better than a civilian official with three or even ten years of seniority and political performance.
However, in peacetime, including when wars are reduced, military generals and sergeants have no chance to perform meritorious service, so it will be ten times more difficult to be promoted than civilian officials.
If you want to be promoted, you no longer rely on merit, but your qualifications and the appreciation of your boss.
This is detrimental to the combat effectiveness of the army.
The solution to this problem was proposed by Bu Zhao at this time, and that was martial arts!
Through martial arts, we can unearth those buried talents and give them an opportunity to transcend their seniority and demonstrate their abilities.
Talents in the army can be promoted to captain and team leader through martial arts examinations, and at the same time, their abilities and talents can be known to others.
And Wang Jing can also win over the military morale of the army sergeants through martial arts examinations.
"Well... martial arts! It is indeed necessary to set it up!"
Wang Jing had not considered martial arts at first. After all, martial arts did not have a strong presence in history, and few of the famous generals who had their names in history were actually from martial arts.
However, Wang Jing thought of the upcoming expansion of the army.
The imperial examination was held in the central government to replenish the officials in the eighteen prefectures of the three provinces. At the same time, the Huai army also expanded from 400,000 soldiers to 1 million.
A standing army of one million also requires a large number of middle and low-level officers to fill it.
What Wang Jing needs now is not some fierce generals or famous generals, but ordinary officers who can obey orders and command his subordinates.
Since Bu Zhao proposed a solution.
Naturally, Wang Jing would not refuse.
There is no harm in martial arts anyway.
This meeting is equivalent to the grand meeting of other dynasties. The matters discussed are basically the things that need to be done in the fourth year of Taichu.
Adjust the official system, select officials through the imperial examination, and expand the army to prepare for war.
These three things need to be prioritized.
In the hall, the voices of the ministers came and went, constantly raising opinions on these three matters, because these are closely related to their authority and future interests.
Even a bachelor with a somewhat transcendent status like Shen Yi has to fight for some favorable conditions for the many subordinates who are close to him.
Of course, their suggestions and arguments are all within limits.
At this time, the Huai army was flourishing, and Wang Jing was so powerful that no one was dissatisfied.
These civil and military generals were also in awe of the king, so even if their words were mixed with a hint of inclination, overall, they still considered the future of the Huai Army.
Everyone in the hall discussed these things all morning, and then they took a rough shape.
The next thing is the work of the Ministry of Government and the Privy Council, how to refine the imperial examination, how to prepare for the military examination, as well as the work of expanding the army and filling the prefectural and county officials.
It requires the participation of officials of all sizes in the three central provinces.
After they have completed all preparations, Wang Jing will come to check and make a decision.
…
Noon.
The civil and military officials in the palace went to the side rooms on both sides. The chefs of the palace had already prepared various dishes. The dishes were fragrant and contained strong energy.
Whether it is Shen Yi, Bu Zhi or Fu Youde, they are either mentally powerful or physically powerful generals, and they have all transformed their life levels to high levels.
The transformation of life levels not only gives them powerful power.
It also brought a lot of consumption.
Among civil servants and generals, generals need to eat a lot of meat every day to maintain their physical strength... Of course, this was the situation in the past. Now Daozhengsi has long developed the method of refining elixirs and decoctions.
Blend a large number of powerful spiritual objects into elixirs, which can meet the needs of a seventh-level general for a day.
There are also various methods of dietary medicinal decoctions to prevent the strong from swallowing three cows a day, which requires six or more "big reliefs" every day.
When Wang Jing was weak, he didn't need energy to replenish his physical strength. But when he was strong, as King Huai, he naturally had a large amount of fairy fruits and spiritual objects to replace ordinary food, so there was no such problem.
As for civil servants, who tend to focus on spiritual practice, there is no need for this.
Cultivation, in addition to the method, is a resource.
With sufficient resources, a large number of strong people can naturally be cultivated.
"Brother Shen, the three major provinces and prefectures and counties have been initially divided. The king mentioned before that he would promote Hu Weiyong to serve as the prefect of the newly established place in Huaidong. I wonder where he should be transferred?"
After a simple meal and a cup of hot soup, Wang Guangyang and Shen Yi sat down and talked about the topics discussed in the morning.
"Hu Weiyong... this person has great abilities. If he uses it well, he will be a sharp sword in the king's hand to cut through thorns. If he doesn't use it well... well, it doesn't matter. Since the king and we know Hu Weiyong's character, No matter how ambitious he is, he can only do things honestly!"
Chen Yi's eyes moved slightly and he said calmly.
He is called a bachelor of the Ministry of Government Affairs. He has been in charge of the Huai army and civil affairs for so long, and his temperament has long been cultivated. Even if he stands with Wang Guangyang, he can be equally matched.
As for Hu Weiyong, a famous historical official who is also favored by the world and has at least eight levels of potential, Shen Yi can also control his life, death and future.
His words at this time can affect Hu Weiyong's future.
"The king doesn't care about Hu Weiyong's past affairs. Naturally, he wants to use his talents. There are ten mansions in Huaidong. Nantong mansion is adjacent to Su Chang and is the target of our army in the future. It is better to transfer Hu Weiyong to Nantong and see what he can do. What a result!”
Shen Yi said.
Wang Guangyang had no objection and said: "Then let Hu Weiyong go to Nantong Mansion as Brother Shen said... I remember that General Tang Shengzong was still in the vicinity of Nantong Mansion to pacify the rebel army and the city wall. If Hu Weiyong goes, he can also assist General Tang. Stabilize the situation as soon as possible!"
between the two of them.
It was decided where Hu Weiyong would go.
"There is one more thing that I am not sure about. I would like to ask Brother Shen for some advice... Under the rule of our army, what circulates is not gold and silver, but food stamps... Replacing coins with food stamps is certainly a good idea in the early stage of stabilizing the overall situation. It’s a clever idea, but now there are a lot of merchants traveling back and forth on the canal, so it would be inappropriate to use food stamps to trade with them!”
Wang Guangyang said.
