(I just returned to my hometown in Jiangxi from Zhejiang yesterday, and I only connected to broadband at noon today, and I immediately came up to update, and I was interrupted for two days, I'm very sorry!) ）

"Ladies and gentlemen, these troubles are all brought about by your national examination." Liu Xun, who was newly appointed by Li Jing as the governor of Yanjing Jiumen, complained to the Joint Committee of the Five Military Governors' Offices of the Shangshu Provincial Cabinet and the General Staff of the Provincial Cabinet of the Political Affairs Hall.

"This is a national examination that His Royal Highness King Qin attaches great importance to." Shang Shu's left servant shot Cui Yunqing frowned and corrected the protégé of this protégé. "I assure you that this national examination is very important, this is the first time that the entire Qin Domain has taken the highest level of examination, and the King of Qin and the Provincial Pavilion are fully committed to this matter."

"You can say whatever you want, left servant shot. But the fact is that not only almost all the scribes from all over the Qin Domain came, but even the literati from other towns in the Tang Dynasty also came one after another. In addition to those who have obtained the qualifications to raise people, there are countless scholars from all over the world who came to watch this national examination, as if watching a juggling conference. For every scholar who came, there were almost two guards from the house, as well as coachmen, clerks, and slaves. These scholars were followed by a large number of merchants, even prostitutes and thieves, and I dare not imagine that there are so many. ”

Liu Xun continued to complain: "Some time ago, countless homeless people poured in, which has made Yanjing City full of homeless people, thanks to the kindness of the King of Qin, as well as the help of the people in the city, to help take in and settle those homeless people into the city, so that they can survive this cold winter." Now it is difficult to get through this hurdle, but as soon as the national examination is reopened, Yanjing City will immediately face an influx of countless people. A large number of displaced people have already caused the public security in Yanjing City to drop rapidly, and now there are countless out-of-town lifters, merchants, prostitutes, and thieves who have had three restaurant fights last night. Ten fights with knives. Two homicides. There was also a fire, and as for the theft, there were too many to count. There was even a drunk horse that rushed straight to the gate of Tooth City. And early this morning, there were dozens of disputes with bustards and prostitutes in brothels over overnight tariffs at the Red Lantern Workshop. ‘

"It's scary." Zhang Chengye, the supervising army, said with a smile. Although he was a eunuch sent by the imperial court to supervise the army, he had worked with everyone over the years and followed and assisted King Qin. His performance has long made Qin Jun respectful, this is a good eunuch, many meetings, he will also be invited to attend, with him, many times the atmosphere of the meeting can be much more relaxed.

However, as Liu Xun's teacher, Taishi and Shangshu's left servant Cui Yunqing are not as polite as Zhang Chengye. "I said, Admiral Liu, if you can't even maintain the order of Yanjing, I'm afraid that the important position of Admiral of Yanjing Jiumen. You'll have to find someone else who has the means to take over. ”

Liu Xun is Li Jing's eldest disciple and became famous at a young age. Although he is only twenty now, he is already a veteran of the Qin army. He was born slender and strong, with a square face, with the same short mustache as Li Jing, and when he heard this, he immediately became like a toad, and his face turned purple. As Li Jing's chief disciple, he was originally the military master of the Jinjia Shengjie Army, and this time Li Jing newly established the position of the Admiral of Yanjing Jiumen, which is actually equivalent to the general Jin Wuwei of the imperial court, and is in charge of the security of Yanjing City in the center of the Qin Domain, as well as the security and defense of the outer city of the capital, which is a very important position.

Li Jing handed over this important position to him, which fully reflected the trust and importance he cared for, which made him very happy. But now the words of his master Cui Yunqing immediately made him a little unable to get off the stage.

"Taishi, even if someone else is changed, it won't do better than me, I need manpower."

"How many people do you want?" Cui Yunqing leaned forward slightly. According to the usual practice, Li Jing will not participate in the joint meeting of the four yamen of the provincial cabinet and government every time. This meeting was the first meeting of the palace meeting in the government hall, before the palace meeting attended by Li Jing, the four most important ministers of the Qin clan met first to make a preliminary discussion, and the last meeting in the palace could be reported to Li Jing more concisely and quickly, and then handed over to Li Jing for resolution.

Therefore, now this joint meeting is presided over by Cui Yunqing, the respected left servant of Shangshu Province.

"Taishi, of course, the more the better."

"Then transfer two battalions and 1,000 unity soldiers from the Yanjiao Unity Battalion to you." Cui Yunqing told him. "If the General Staff Council, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Military Department can jointly approve this proposal, then after the report agrees with the cabinet and the King of Qin, you can go to Li Shangshu of the household department to ask for money and food."

Although Cui Yunqing served as the left servant of the prime minister in the Qin Domain, it was related to the transfer of troops, especially the transfer of garrison and defense troops in Yanjing City, such a motion must first be submitted to the military's General Staff, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Military Department to be unanimously approved, and finally reported to the cabinet for deliberation, and finally handed over to the Qin King Li Jing for approval before it can be transferred, otherwise it is a crime of rebellion and rebellion, which is very serious.

"Money and food looking for me?" Hubu Shangshu Li Rang said with a wry smile.

"That's right. Since you can even settle hundreds of thousands of displaced people this winter, it must not be a problem for you to pay for the transfer of 1,000 solidarity soldiers. Cui Yunqing turned to Liu Xun and said, "In addition, I propose to temporarily transfer a group of cadets from each military academy and junior military academy in Yanjing to you to help you maintain order until the end of this national examination and these people leave." ”

"Thank you very much, Master." Liu Xun bowed, "I promise you that I will definitely ensure that the security of Yanjing improves." ”

After Liu Xun left, Cui Yunqing turned to the four senior officials present: "The national examination of my Qin Domain, which coincides with the tide of displaced people after the war and famine, coupled with this cold spring, this national examination is a little troublesome." But having said that, although we are facing all kinds of difficulties now, this national examination is very important, and it is an excellent opportunity for our Qin Domain to recruit the warriors of the world. Not only do we have to do it well, but we also have to do it to the best of our ability. King Qin has a good saying, you can fight the world immediately, but you can't rule the world right away. ”

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and fighting for the world is also fighting for talents." Cao Ye, the first assistant of the cabinet, said, "Today, nine-tenths of the wealth is in the hands of one-tenth of the high-ranking families, while nine-tenths of the other people only control one-tenth of the world's wealth. The imperial examination, for all strata in the world, is a great opportunity to seek honor. Through this way, the Gaomen clan can stabilize their position, and ordinary people can use it to change their fate. Our national exams. In fact, it is the imperial examination of the imperial court. Now the imperial examination of the imperial court has been broken. However, our Qin Domain carried out a grander national examination than the imperial imperial examination, which can be described as a top-level wise decision. The implementation of this policy is to bring all the talents of the world under the command of King Qin. ”

"It will also be a huge boost to the economy." Li Rang, the head of the household, did not leave the bank, "The hotels and restaurants in the city are full, even the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is also full of guests, and the car dealers and so on are also following the fire." This is not only the case in Yanjing, but also from the autumn to the state. From the state to the provincial capital, and then to Yanjing, the local economy has indeed been stimulated by the examination and has risen greatly. ”

"It's a great time for scholars to seek glory. And for those ordinary people, they can also watch this grand event and forget their sorrows for a while. This national examination event can indeed dilute the current depression of industry and commerce, and alleviate the tension caused by the decline in living standards, material shortages, and curfews caused by the war. Guo Chengan also nodded.

The king of the military department, Puha Luha, smiled: "I heard Liu Xun say yesterday. According to rough statistics, after the year, due to the national examination event. And the prostitutes who poured into Yanjing City from all over the country have actually broken through the 10,000-person mark. Oh my God, the total population of our Yanjing City is only 700,000, including 100,000 soldiers, 50,000 monks, nuns, Taoist crowns, 100,000 in Chengfanhu, and 50,000 students from various schools. The workers, the common people, and the families of the soldiers add up to only 400,000. Originally, there were thousands of prostitutes and dancing girls in the city, but now there are 10,000 at once, which is really scary. ”

Cui Yunqing didn't laugh along: "Everyone in the world knows that Yanjing has been very stable since it became the city of the Qin Domain and the land of the Qin Dynasty, so people from all over the world will pour into Yanjing." However, the influx of such a large number of prostitutes into Yanjing will indeed bring a lot of security problems. Last time, Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry proposed to concentrate these prostitutes in one square area like Chang'an, but more than 10,000 prostitutes were still too many. ”

"Then put these delicate little ladies into the barracks and call Li Keyong's princess to train them. In this way, we can immediately have an extra women's army, anyway, that Liu family stays here all day and is idle. Wang Pu continued to joke.

Wang Pu's words were not entirely a joke, after Li Jing captured Liu, he was very polite to her, placed her in a mansion in the inner city, pulled out many slaves and maids to serve, and specially sent guards to guard, not to be disturbed by others, and there was no shortage of all kinds of money. Therefore, some rumors gradually spread in Yanjing City, saying that Li Keyong's wife who rode a horse commander had actually been conquered by the King of Qin and became the outer chamber of the King of Qin. There are even rumors that the Liu family has even been secretly married and is pregnant for the King of Qin.

This kind of peachy news is always the fastest spreading, and it is not stopped. However, in fact, Li Jing has a strong supervision department, and there is a special department responsible for internal supervision, so without waiting for Li Jing to ask, Gongsun Lan has immediately secretly investigated the matter, and finally reported to Li Jing, and found that these rumors are not only a few false rumors, in fact, the original rumor-monger is Li Jing's third wife, Wang Haojun's uncle, and Wang Gai, the younger brother of Wang Pu, the secretary of the military department, once lost his words after drinking in the Qinglou, and the result was that the more and more it spread, the more outrageous it became.

After Li Jing learned about the matter, he didn't respond, just nodded, and the investigation of this matter ended here.

However, Cui Yunqing listened to Wang Pu's words, and she also heard something extraneous. He immediately got up and said, "I've heard enough about prostitutes today, so that's it." "Wang Pu's status and status, when it comes to topics such as prostitutes and the Liu family, it will inevitably make people think elsewhere. Cui Yunqing interrupted him, also for his good.

When Cui Yunqing returned to Cui's mansion after the meeting, the old gatekeeper was Cui An. "Call, Gorou and Shichiro come to my study."

"Yes, Guogong."

Cui Yunqing fully participated in the planning of this national examination, so he knew better than many people that Li Jing attached great importance to this national examination, and this national examination was not exactly like the imperial examination of the imperial court. In this national examination, a total of 300 Jinshi from the top three will be admitted at one time, as well as 700 Jinshi from the same Jinshi, a full 1,000 people. After these people are on the list, they don't need to wait for two years as the court used to, and they have to go through the re-election of the officials. Instead, they will be directly sent to the newly established Yenching University for a year of further study, and then they will be directly awarded official positions according to their grades and assigned to official positions in various places. According to Li Jing's plan, in the future, the official position system of the Qin Domain will be mainly selected by the national examination, and the recruitment and recommendation will not be supplemented. In the future, within 10 years, the officials who have passed these national examinations will gradually replace those officials in the past.

In general, this will be a real reform of the official selection system. Although the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were held for more than 200 years, there were very few official positions that were actually admitted and appointed, and not all of them were really examined.

Cui Yunqing is the patriarch of the Qingzhou House of the Qinghe Cui Clan, and leads the Qingzhou branch of the Qinghe Cui Clan, a famous family in the world. In the Tang Dynasty of the Cui clan in Qingzhou, there were five prime ministers, and there were countless officials. Now that King Qin intends to reform the official system, then the Cui family must adapt as soon as possible. Just like when the Tang Dynasty implemented the imperial examination, the scholars were very resistant at first, and they suffered a great loss as a result. Later, the scholars reacted and actively participated in the imperial examination, and as a result, they immediately almost monopolized the imperial examination.

This makes Cui Yunqing understand that whoever can adapt to the rules first will achieve a more active position.

Cui Yunqing has many children and grandchildren, and now Wulang and Qilang are two grandsons who have just turned twenty. Wulang is good at martial arts, has a good body and martial arts, and now serves as the head of the personal guard with a knife in the personal guard of King Qin, and has a six-grade martial arts position. Qilang is a good writer, has been studying with him, and is now studying at Yenching Academy.

In this national examination, there are not only liberal arts, but also martial arts. While walking towards the study, he thought that he should let his two excellent grandsons go to participate in this national examination. This is not only to show support for King Qin, but also for the sake of the two grandchildren. Although his grandchildren can be out of the woods even if they are only in the shade of the door. But he knows very well that this national examination will be a bright road, and if they take the national examination to get out of the way, then their future will be immeasurable.

He has a clear view of current affairs, maybe within ten years, Li Jing, a protégé, may be able to seize the world and open a dynasty. With his identity as Li Jing's teacher, and his support for Li Jing, as well as his current status in the court, the Cui family can be rich for thirty years. However, if the Cui family wants to go further, they need better successors.

After entering the room, he took off the formal purple robe and silk robe of the Shangya, sat and read the newspaper, and waited for his two grandchildren. The newspaper is a royal newspaper compiled and distributed by the imperial court, and the royal newspaper that was originally in Chang'an has now moved into Chengdu with the Son of Heaven. The Qin Domain had a special organization to collect large and small newspapers issued in various parts of the world, and every issue was not lost.

King Qin was right, the Royal News was really boring. For example, there is great chaos, famine is everywhere, and the people are in dire straits, but there is not a single report on these things in this royal newspaper, and the paper is full of whitewashing. What is written is like where to go to play like the Son of Heaven, the newly built Son of Heaven Baidu in Chengdu, under the command of Tian Lingzi's father-in-law, launched the Spring Polo League of the Forbidden Army, and what are the noble ladies in the garden to go to the spring, and a certain court's important minister's glamorous poems.

Full of paper luxury and erosive atmosphere!

It's really a solo backyard flower across the river!

In comparison, Qin Jun's newspapers, especially the internal version of the reference news, are full of the insights of officials at all levels and even some scholars, discussing current affairs and putting forward some practical policies for governing the country and securing the people.

The two newspapers just reflect the contrast between the imperial court and the Qin clan today, one is decaying, and the other is vibrant.

He picked up another newspaper, but it was the Eastern Capital Times.

Originally, this newspaper was also the newspaper of the imperial court, but it was not discontinued after the fall of Tokyo. Although Huang Chao is an anti-army, he is a scholar who has participated in many imperial examinations, and he is very interested in Xingxin's newspaper industry. After entering Luoyang, he immediately continued to work on this newspaper. However, the Luoyang Times has since become the first newspaper of the anti-army and their mouthpiece. Most of the poems published on it are some poems of Huang Chao, as well as some pseudo-Qi official documents, as well as edicts and so on.

In the past, Cui Yunqing swept it away, because there was really nothing to see on it.

However, when he looked at the Luoyang Times again today, he suddenly found that a line of big characters had caught his eyes, and his gaze was firmly sucked, and he couldn't take it off anymore. (To be continued......)
