Yecheng is very big.
After the people moved away, the city seemed even more empty.
Mrs. Dong of the State of Wei repeatedly requested to move out of the palace, but Li Yue did not agree.
There are three platforms, Tongque, Bingjing and Jinhu, which are enough to handle official business.
When Shi Le attacked Yecheng, Liu Yan, Xie Xu, Tian Qing, Lang Mu and other beggar troops relied on Santai to fight against Shi Hu and resisted for many days.
After Shi Hu came to the throne, he expanded the building, including stables, arsenals, and granaries. There is a secret passage under the platform that connects the water gate to Zhangshui outside the city. The ice well in Santaizhong once stored a large amount of ice, coal, and rice under the platform. , salt, pepper.
Judging from the topography, Santai overlooks the land of Hebei and is itself a military fortress.
A place like this must not be missed.
Moving into the palace meant being isolated from the soldiers, being separated from his subordinates, and diving into a crowd of women, surrounded by wolves. The interior was not monolithic, so Li Yue did not dare to slack off at all.
The Shangshu Province, the Zhongshu Province, and the Menxia Province also all moved into Jinfeng Taichung.
The Chinese army's main camp is located in Tongque Garden. In the event of a war, the cavalry can fight directly from the stable gate, and the infantry can fight from the Jinming Gate in the southwest.
In addition, Li Yue also moved in the Shangwu Hall and the Wujiao Hall.
The families of the soldiers were settled in the inner city, with several or dozens of families sharing a large house left by the dignitaries of Jie and Zhao.
Ran Minxiang's country suffered a disastrous defeat. Not only the 100,000 elites were destroyed, but also middle-class figures died in the battle. Liu Qun, Cui Jin, Shen Zhong, Tiao You and others re-established the bureaucracy.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Three Provinces and Six Ministries had been developed and perfected and were still used in later generations.
"Looking at the mistakes of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they are all due to the law of nine-grade officials. Wise people cannot enter the court and mediocre people occupy high positions. This method can no longer be used. In the future, when hiring officials, their talents will be tested first, and their virtues will be tested later."
In the first dynasty after taking the throne of Liang Gong, Li Yue directly abolished the traditional law of nine-rank officials.
From the performance of the Jiangdong nobles, we can see who are the people selected by the Ninth-rank Official Law, and Jiangdong is getting further and further in the Ninth-rank Official Law.
"Mr. Liang, are you talking about Dong Zhongshu's examination method?" Liu Qun blinked and knew Li Yue's intention.
There is a record in "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" written by Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty: The method of examination is slow for the big ones and urgent for the small ones; the noble ones are comfortable, while the low ones are accelerated...Three tests before and after will depose Zhi, and the destiny is called plan.
It was the Western Han Dynasty that first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. It included scholars, Ming Jing, Ming Dharma, virtuous and upright, and filial piety.
Therefore, some people in later generations believe that the imperial examination first appeared in the Han Dynasty.
However, it was short-lived, and the gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty grew powerful and powerful, monopolizing the power of selection.
"Exactly, this method is called the Imperial Examination." Li Yue glanced at the crowd.
During the Yongjia Rebellion, Yi Guan traveled south, and the great gentry of the Wei and Jin Dynasties fled to Jiangdong. The northern gentry was at a time of weakness. If we did not curb them at the source at this time, we would be afraid that the ills of the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties would come back again.
As for the local powerful, their thoughts are all on their own one-third of an acre of land, and they have no time to care about what happens in the court.
Although the imperial examination is not a panacea, it at least gives ordinary people from poor families a chance.
Historically, it was the Northern and Southern Dynasties that stabilized after the Sixteen Kingdoms that attempted imperial examinations. The Northern Wei, Northern Qi, and Southern Qi Dynasties all attempted imperial examinations until Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took shape.
Setting up the imperial examination was Li Yue's first step, paving the way for the Shangwu Hall and the Lecture Hall.
"This method... is beneficial to the country. The world is in chaos. It is the time to employ people in an eclectic way." Liu Qun's face was calm.
The other Shen Zhong, Tiao You, Nie Xiong, Ji Zhu and others are not considered to be great nobles, let alone oppose it.
In troubled times, there are rules for troubled times.
Even if the imperial examination method is adopted, the powerful gentry still have a huge advantage. There are a few people who can read and practice calligraphy these days who are not powerful gentry. In their eyes, it is just a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine. Naturally, they will not argue with the famous Li Yueqi.
Without Li Yue's acquiescence, their positions as Sikong and Shizhong would not exist.
So this is just an exchange of interests. There is no fool who can stand here.
The discussion of the imperial examination was thus decided.
After the court meeting, Li Yue, Cui Jin, Wei Shan, Gao Yun and others inspected the military camp.
After nearly two busy months, the new army has been recruited.
To Li Yue's dismay, the soldiers were generally thin, with sallow complexions and skinny muscles. They stood together with the veteran soldiers of the Black Cloud Army, clearly distinguishable from each other.
It's hard for people these days to get a bite of food, let alone eat enough.
If you don't eat enough, you will naturally become thin.
"Regardless of how thin they are, they are among the best tough guys on the battlefield. It was the same when I was waiting in Black Cloud Mountain." Wei Shan didn't care.
Li Yue nodded, "There's no need to train for now. Feed him for a month. Eat three full meals a day and one meat meal a day to recuperate his body. Don't drag him out like a beggar and embarrass me, the Black Cloud Army."
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, Cui Jin said: "Fu Xiong recently conquered Luoyang, went south to Xuanyuan Pass, and entered Yuzhou to plunder the people."
Fu's behavior was indeed a bit unruly. After Fu Jian came to power, he had completely different styles from Fu Hong.
Wei Shan said angrily: "Humph, Mr. Fu is acting wantonly under our noses. This is unbearable!"
"Did Huan Wen take action?" Li Yue asked.
Cui Jin said: "Huan Wen sent troops to the new territory and did not move. It is possible that he does not care about Zhang Yu's wealth."
Huan Wen didn't even manage Shuzhong, and kept his eyes fixed on Jiangdong, let alone Yuzhou.
Li Yue asked someone to get a map and start figuring it out.
There is a reason why Fu Jian is so crazy. After entering Guanzhong, he became like a fierce dragon crossing the river. He was invincible and his strength expanded rapidly.
Now we have reached out to the Central Plains.
He didn't take himself seriously at all.
"It's rude to come and go without reciprocating. If they extend their hands, we will also extend our hands." If you want to win their respect, you need to show your strength.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the Fu family and the Murong family will unite in the future and divide Guandong equally.
This possibility is extremely high.
From the perspective of Guanzhong, Yan, Wei, snipe and clam are fighting, and they profit as fishermen.
Yan Guoqiang and the Fu family may unite with him.
But one day, when the Central Plains develops, they will turn around and wear the same pants as Murong.
There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests.
The Fu family and the Murong family had no grudges in the past and have no enmity in recent times. The geographical relationship between the two sides does not pose a threat, and the possibility of alliance is very high. In addition, with such huge interests in Guandong before them, it is impossible not to be tempted.
"Great goodness! The Fu family is arrogant and underestimates me. They should know the advantages of our army!" Wei Shan slapped his thigh.
"Gao Yun, do you have any good ideas on how to dispatch our army?" Li Yue turned to Gao Yun.
Everyone present, whether Cui Jin or Wei Shan, was a little worse than him in military strategy.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Gao Yun, who looked a little embarrassed, "My subordinates thought that we should take Hanoi and then attack Heyang to intimidate the Di army."
As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not, and even Wei Shan nodded secretly.
Heyang looks across the Yellow River to Luozhong. There is such a nail, and Fu Xiong has to weigh it in front of him.
"Although this strategy is good, it is a little conservative." Li Yue pointed to the upper part of Hanoi County. "Shangdang is the west wall of Ye City. This is the backbone of the northern country. It looks down from a high position and looks at the world. It must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"
