Chapter 1095 - Officials and Officials

Gao Yihuan knew in his heart that Donghu Kingdom had been controlled by Sun Kewang, but Sun Kewang actually wrote to give him an excuse, and King Donghu also played a song to say that it was a misunderstanding, so Gao Yihuan pretended to be confused.

The Indochina Peninsula is fertile, which indeed makes Gao Yihuan salivate, but he doesn't have such a good appetite now, he needs a population outside the Guan, Yungui also needs a population, the northwest needs a population even more, and there is no motivation for expansion within the Wei State.

In the early days of the dynasty, the population was declining and the per capita resources were too abundant, so the most suitable policy was the cultivation of Taoist doctrine to restore the vitality and vitality of the people.

The climate in Southeast Asia is hot, the Wei army is not adaptable, and it is not easy to defeat Sun Kewang, it will cost a huge amount of money to defeat the Zhou army, and the country is not ready to occupy this place, and it cannot profit from it, but it needs to spend money and food to maintain, so it can only be like occupying Annam during the Yongle period.

At this time, Wei was not ready, so Gao Yihuan got off the donkey and stopped the preparations to interfere in Donghu.

However, he did not admit Sun Kewang's statement, but sent an official to investigate, as for how long the investigation will take, it depends on when Gao Yihuan thinks the time is ripe.

Sun Kewang had just occupied Donghu, and he had not yet digested it, and he did not want to start a war with the Wei army.

In this way, the two sides formed a tacit understanding, Gao Yihuan pretended not to know, Sun Kewang took control of the Donghu puppet power, and continued to pay tribute to Gao Yihuan.

After dealing with this matter, Gao Yihuan began to restore the people's livelihood, first of all, except for the southeast, he no longer took the initiative to start a war in the near future, reduced the expenses of the imperial court, and used the silver money saved to encourage childbirth, and provided tax exemption policies for immigrants.

Locally, Gao Yihuan began to implement the strategy of recuperation and recuperation, and in terms of internal affairs, the Hanlin Academy was changed to the Imperial Political University, and the Guozijian was changed to the Imperial Affairs University.

After the imperial examination, the imperial court would select a small number of jinshi to enter the Hanlin Academy, so that they could be responsible for repairing books and writing history, drafting edicts, understanding officialdom, knowing how to handle government affairs, and then appointing real posts.

This was a kind of official training system, but the Dabu Jinshi did not have the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy, so he was appointed to an official position.

The imperial examination mainly examines the Confucian classics, and the jinshi has no experience as an official, nor does he know how to deal with some affairs, so Gao Yihuan decided to change the Hanlin Academy into the Imperial Political University, and put all the jinshi in the imperial examination every year into it, and after three years of training, he will be appointed to the official position.

Over the years, the glorious prospect of the imperial examination after becoming a jinshi has made a large number of scholars devote themselves to the imperial examination, but the imperial examination jinshi only takes two or three hundred people every few years, resulting in a waste of talents.

Because of the huge gains brought by the imperial examination, the whole society valued scribes over industry and commerce, and everyone went to the imperial examination, which slowed down the development of science and technology.

For this reason, in order to reverse this situation, Gao Yihuan decided to reform the official system of the Great Wei Dynasty, and separated some technical official positions, such as the construction of rivers by the Ministry of Industry, the manufacture of artillery, and the accounting of household accounts, and a series of official positions related to one or more technologies, from the original official system.

These officials will be selected from the Guozijian who has been renamed the Imperial Affairs University, and some important local officials will also be gradually selected from there, and their salaries will be improved, and the hereditary system will be abolished.

Unlike the government university, which is strict in and wide out, admission is seven products, and the distribution of packages is different, the conditions for entering the university are much lower, and students or have a skill on the line, and adopt the strategy of wide entry and strict exit, and after three years, a selection examination is still required to participate in the selection of the corresponding officials according to the subjects they are studying.

Officials and officials have always been high officials, and officials are small officials, especially after the Ming Dynasty banned officials from participating in the imperial examination, their status plummeted.

Gao Yihuan intends to improve the status of officials, and the two are promoted at the same time, the officials make decisions, and the officials carry out the work, and allow the officials who do a good job to become officials, and officials who understand some specific technologies can also concurrently serve as officials to improve the status of officials.

After this reform, many specific affairs of the imperial court will be carried out by officials, and in order to let these officials be able to do things with peace of mind, Gao Yihuan issued an order, and recorded it in the group training, strictly prohibiting officials from forming parties and joining the party, violators are dismissed, and depending on the severity of the circumstances, they will be sentenced to exile, imprisonment, beheading and other punishments.

Gao Yihuan did this, just hoping that even if the party struggle resumes in the future, as long as the officials who carry out the affairs do not participate, the country will still be able to continue to operate.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, the National Chengchi University was considered a liberal arts department, the Affairs University was considered a science and engineering department, and there was another university, which had long been renamed the Imperial Military Academy, which was considered a military department.

These three imperial universities, respectively, were the Great Wei Imperial Court, cultivating talents in all aspects.

Gao Yihuan is strategic, but he is not a particularly diligent emperor, he doesn't care much about internal affairs, and chooses Li Yan, who can understand his wishes well, to implement reforms, and the affairs of the Imperial Military Academy are handled by himself.

The two-party case did bring great harm to the Wei state, and a large number of officials were removed and exiled, and they could not recover in a short time.

After the case of the two parties, except for the southeast, the Great Wei government and the opposition basically settled down.

The matter in the southeast could not be solved for a while, Gao Yihuan ordered the household department to allocate funds to stabilize the industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River, expand trade with Japan, West Asia, and South Asia, and increase investment on the other hand, build warships, cast ship guns, and wait for the opportunity.

There are officials to do these things, and Gao Yihuan's energy is invested in the construction of the Imperial Military Academy.

Time flickered, in the autumn of the fifth year of Wuding, Wei was about to usher in a big event, Qiu Cao, Gao Yihuan decided, take the opportunity to test the results.

One day in late September, the people in Chang'an City were surprised to find that there were many more officials and Xuanyi guards on the streets of Suzaku Street, and horse-drawn carriages were forbidden to pass on the streets.

Obviously, the impact of the North-South Party case has not yet passed, and many people have begun to worry that something is going to happen again, and the people are talking about it.

"When I was in the previous dynasty, this was the pomp and circumstance of going to kill, maybe who was going to lose his head again!"

"No, didn't it take long for the decree to be made?"

"What do you know, I can't say for sure, it's been cooked by rabbits and dead dogs since ancient times!"

The people of the city were talking a lot, and for some reason, suddenly a neatly arranged army came in the distance, with neat steps, all of them in new military uniforms, large-brimmed hats, cowhide belts around their waists, bayonets on their backs, and the words "Imperial Army University" embroidered on the first flag.
