Fang Xuanling said troublesome. Li Shimin immediately asked, "How to trouble?" ”

"If the Goguryeo people attacked, they could supply them from the road, but our countless troops, ordnance, grain and grass needed to be transported by sea, and it was more difficult to supply than Goguryeo. The former Sui was defeated twice outside Beisha City, that is, in terms of supplies. ”

Li Shimin didn't ask again, but said to Qin Qiong: "Bring and send capable people to infiltrate Goguryeo." ”

"I understand."

Qin Qiong immediately wrote a warrant and gave it to the intelligence officer, and the intelligence officer of Wenyue Pavilion retreated.

Li Shimin said: "There are some things I haven't told you, but Beisha City can't back down, this is the bottom limit. As for supplies and defense, Willowwood has some extraordinary means that I will not tell you about for the time being, but I believe that Beisha City will be of great use, and it will not become a battlefield for a few years. ”

Xiao Yu got up at this time: "Sage, my Datang is now a good official some time ago, and the incompetent officials will be eliminated and the redundant officials will be arranged separately." After considering the changes in the next three years, the minister thought that the imperial court was beginning to lack qualified officials. ”

Li Shimin said in his heart that he was talking about Goguryeo, why did he talk about officials again.

However, Li Shimin was still asking: "Some time ago, didn't more than 7,000 people sign up to be officials? ”

"Yes, there are a few good ones, but it's still not enough."

"Tell me." Li Shimin motioned for Xiao Yu to finish what he was going to say.

Xiao Yu said: "Sage, do you say that Beisha City is an important official? ”

Li Shimin understood, and nodded in agreement with Xiao Yu's statement.

"Sage, let's talk about Kumamoto Castle first, how many officials have been transferred by the willow horse, and as far as the ministers know, it is still not enough, and many officials are busy day and night due to the heavy workload of official duties. In addition to the liufu horses, servants, servants, meat, supplements, etc., it can be said that the income of officials in Wadao is several times higher than that of Chang'an, but there are still many people who are tired and sick. ”

Li Shimin only saw the achievements of Wajima, but did not see the problems of officials.

At Li Shimin's signal, Xiao Yu continued: "Sage, Kumamoto Castle does not count the more than 70 official officials of the Bo Division, and the more than 200 people who have been exiled, these are not counting the military attaches at all levels. It is only said that the so-called stewards who have been stationed at Tsukushi Island for many years, headed by Kumamoto Castle, are actually officials who are officials. ”

"Tell me, I'll listen."

"The saints, the officials of the four prefectures and their subordinate counties, as well as the officials at all levels in the subordinate divisions, this is more than nine hundred people."

"Six hundred, more than two hundred and fifty in a state?"

Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, because there were only dozens of officials directly under a state on the Datang side.

Xiao Yu said slowly: "With the addition of the outflow, there are a total of 2,000 officials in the Tang Dynasty in Zhuzi Island, and this is not counting the outflow officials of the Japanese people. ”

"Saints, mines, canals, roads. Mulberry agricultural technology, vegetables, fishery. Learning, etiquette, and infant education. Coastal defense, urban defense, and public security in counties and townships. Assessment, supervision, and training of officials. Money, grain, hemp, silk, etc. accounting ......"

Speaking of which, Xiao Yu didn't want to say any more.

Fang Xuanling said: "I have also read the documents in this direction, this is only an important thing, and there are many unimportant things that need to be done." There are some differences, the officials of the large workshop and the large mulberry forest area are also the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and Wajima is a special case. ”

"That's the reason, there are nearly 100 teachers with grades in the Ministry of Rites in Wajima alone, and there are hundreds of teachers with foreign products, these people are all officials, it does sound like a lot, but these people are still not enough."

"Off topic, the old man means that we need to recruit officials again."

"This official ......" Fang Xuanling felt that this was a headache.

There are six ways for officials in the Tang Dynasty to become official officials.

The first is the imperial examination, which is ranked first on the surface, but the imperial examination system originated from the Sui Dynasty, which was still in a period of development, and there were not enough students to participate in the imperial examination.

And then there's the second one, which is the door moe.

Sanpinmeng and great-grandchildren, Wupinmeng and grandchildren, etc., which have a strict and detailed rule in Datang. These people were sent to all levels of officials to study, and then the best ones were selected for office.

The third is the outflow of products, that is, the outstanding officials of the out-of-flow level are promoted, starting from the ninth grade, but this kind of person may be in his life, and there are very few who can surpass the fifth grade.

The fourth category is the largest and most important source of officials in the Tang Dynasty at the moment.

Recommend for entry. Officials at different levels are eligible to nominate their respective officials. For example, Cui Yiye is a joint recommendation of several people from the Qinghe Cui family.

Ma Zhou's entry is Liu Mu's letter of recommendation, and he is a five-grade product as soon as he enters the officialdom.

Su Dingfang is directly from the third rank military attaché, but the thickness of Su Dingfang's recommendation letter is very amazing, Qin Qiong is headed by at least nine generals signed, plus his exploits in the two northern wars, so he is from the third grade military attaché.

The fifth category was added by the efforts of the willow wood.

There is no upper limit to meritorious deeds, Xi Junmai is a real example, as long as you have enough military merits, you will keep rising.

At present, another political merit has been added, for example, if the agricultural official of a certain county has greatly increased the grain production of this county, then he will have a great merit and will definitely be promoted. It will also bring a meritorious service to this prefectural order and so on.

Other than that, the rest of the various types of entry will be combined with one of the above five situations, or a mixture of multiple situations.

Li Shimin issued a strict order prohibiting donations at any time and under any circumstances.

Donation is the beginning of the rule of ruin.

In real history, the only case of donation verified by the Zhenguan Dynasty was when Li Shimin Zhenguan made an expedition to Goguryeo in the seventeenth year. Later, the Tang Dynasty broke the rules in Wu Zetian's time, and donations have become a trend.

It can be said that the Anshi Rebellion was the late period of Wu Zetian, especially the short five years of Zhongzong that harmed the Tang Dynasty.

"Sage, we need more officials, but maybe it's a different way. An official who is not an official is determined by rank, but he is actually engaged in a specific job, not an official. ”

Xiao Yu simply explained what he meant, that is, to distinguish between the normal officials of the state capital and the officials of the occupied areas of the Bosi, and even the new arrangements for the people who were originally officials, officials, and people in the four northern counties.

In modern terms, it is a public service editor, a business editor, an enterprise editor, and a contract worker. Four categories.

"Saints, it is true that we are recruiting some useful talents. In such a small city, the civil officials are afraid that more than 200 people will be needed, and the military attachés are estimated to be about the same number. ”

Du Ruhui's words resonated with everyone.

Qin Qiong said at this time: "Sage, the minister remembered something. ”

Li Shimin smiled and motioned for Qin Qiong to speak, "Speak." ”

Qin Qiong said: "The soldiers of the Shence Guard are all literate and can write. ”
