"On the Chang'an side, Ma Chao is temporarily in charge, Du County is only thirty miles away from Chang'an, and if there is anything, it can be delivered in an hour."

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

The next day, Liu Chan rushed to Du County with 3,000 pro-soldiers, as well as Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other Chinese ministers.

In just half a day, Liu Chan and his entourage arrived in Du County.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun was buried in the territory of Du County, so Du County is also called Du Ling, where the mausoleum of a generation of Ming Jun is located, the emperor of the Han Dynasty needs to go to worship every year, and it is close to Chang'an, it is the only way to go south to Wuguan, and the usual business travel passes through it, so the scale of Du County is quite large.

Zhuge Liang has sent people to take care of everything in advance, there are defenders at the city gate, and the government has been cleared.

When everyone came to the palace, the officials began to sort out the books, intending to open an examination paper.

"In this assessment, you should take the Analects as the topic, be familiar with the Analects, be familiar with Confucianism, and be a noble person who can become an official."

"Hey, no, no, no, it's the title of "Zuo Biography".

"Otherwise, I think it's better to use the title of "The Book of Songs".

Looking at the officials with what classics they were assessing, Liu Chan couldn't help frowning.

It's good for literati to read the classics, but not for officials.

Officials have to do things, serve the people and serve the country, what is the use of you assessing officials and completely assessing scriptures? Just because you can read doesn't mean you can do things.

What's more, this assessment is mainly based on the selection of officials, who are grassroots cadres, and they need to do practical things, and they will only shake their heads.

Liu Chan clapped his hands and said to a group of officials: "Guanzhong is new, and Chang'an is undecided, so local officials should be mainly officials from Yizhou, supplemented by Guanzhong people, and officials can choose Guanzhong people."

Officials are the foundation, although they are humble and light-hearted, but they need to do practical things, and since they are elected officials, they cannot only study the scriptures.

In this way, five subjects were introduced: scripture, accounting, agriculture, law, and current affairs. You will first negotiate a charter and then send it to me for review.

At that time, when the officials arrive, they will register and make a register first, ask them what they are good at, and they will be assessed in which aspect, of course, if they have real skills, they can also be tested. ”

Generally, local government is basically divided into several aspects, such as managing agricultural affairs, exercising laws, and coordinating calculations.

Liu Chan's agriculture, the law, and the three subjects of Ming Arithmetic completely summarized these three. If these three can be done well, a place can be stable and peaceful.

As for scripture is the foundation, and current politics is the most difficult, just like taking the Chinese writing test, but current politics is also the most able to test real talent and learning.

After listening to Liu Chan's words, the officials arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "You guys go down and do it." ”

After everyone left, Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, the country selected talents, and it has always been a chaju, called filial piety and honesty, and there are many drawbacks.

The children of the poor family wanted to be officials. You must climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, otherwise there is no way to be promoted, Your Majesty is now opening these five subjects, assessing talents and taking officials, if it can be applied, it will give the children of the poor family a chance to be promoted, this is a good way. ”

Although Zhuge Liang was born in the Langya Zhuge clan, he has already declined in his area, and he actually represents the children of the Han family, so he naturally agrees with Liu Chan's practice of opening a branch to take a scholar.

Liu Chan nodded and said: "I have also thought of this, but there are pros and cons to everything, such as today, books are in the hands of the powerful family, once this method is used, they will definitely resist and become enemies of me." Is there any solution for Da Sima? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Your Majesty has paper books and printing skills, just open the academy." After more than ten or twenty years, the family will not be able to monopolize it, and how to stop it when the department is opened? ”

Liu Chan nodded and said: "When I was the captain of the school in Chengdu before, I had already opened a lot of academies, and after taking Longyou Liangzhou, I also let Jiang Wan and Xu Miao do this, and when Guanzhong is stable, it can also be like this, and after ten years, this method can be practiced."

But the top priority at the moment is to select a group of reasonable officials to govern Guanzhong, Da Sima, you go and help them with the questions, they don't worry about doing things, don't make the scriptures account for most of the test questions at that time. ”

"Wechen retires!" Zhuge Liang retreated.

"Li Yu!" After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Chan shouted outside the hall.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!" After a few moments, a man dressed in black walked into the temple.

Liu Chan picked up a copy of the book from the table, handed it to Li Yu and said, "This is the list of officials who participated in the assessment this time, and you sent it to check the character and identity of these people."

The assessment can only test talents, but not character and spies. ”

"Wechen obeys!" Li Yu took the fold and retreated.

Du Mansion is located in the east of Du County.

Du Ji's ancestors were Du Zhou, Du Yannian, and in the Western Han Dynasty, he was also a big official, but in Du Ji's generation, he has been reduced to an ordinary family.

Du Yi was recommended by Xun Yu in his early years, and in the Wei State, he did Shang Shu Servant Shooting, Shang Shu Servant Shooting, is Shang Shuling's deputy position, but a country's important minister, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shang Shu Servant Shot is actually the prime minister, such as Yang Su, Li Jing, once served as Shang Shu Servant Shot.

Although Du Ji is in a high position, but he is a Qing official, his hometown is located in Du County, but it is not luxurious, Liu Chan came to Du Mansion under the protection of Lin Yuan, only to see that the mansion is not a Zhumen Xiuhu, but a bit of a despondent and poor image.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The soldier stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who!" A slightly old voice came, and then only a creak was heard, the door of the house opened, and an old man over half a hundred years old walked out with a broom.

Seeing Liu Chan wearing a dragon robe, and the soldiers behind him were covered in armor one by one, a trace of panic flashed on the old man's face, but he did not lose his temper, he was also Du Yi's personal servant before, and he saw a lot of big scenes with Du Ji.

The old man hurriedly put down the broom in his hand and asked, "Master Jun, who are you?" ”

Lin Yuan shouted: "Your Majesty is coming, and you will not let your family master come out to greet you!" ”

"Your Majesty......" The old man was startled, although he had seen a lot of big scenes, but he had never seen the emperor, and hurriedly ran towards the mansion, suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please come in first, the head of the family is studying, I will go to report." ”

The fact that Liu Chan came to Du County is well known, and the old man knows which emperor is coming.

Liu Chan nodded: "You go and report!" ”

Entering the gate of the house, there is a courtyard, now it is winter, the trees in the courtyard have fallen leaves, and the old servant was cleaning the fallen leaves before.

Liu Chan stood in the courtyard and looked around, but after a while, he saw a man in his thirties hurrying over.

Du Shu came not far in front of Liu Chan, knelt on the ground, and said: "The grass people Du Shu has seen Your Majesty, but I didn't know that Your Majesty had arrived, and I missed the welcome, so please forgive me." ”
