Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

When he came to Sujiazhuang this time, Li Shimin planned to ask two things.

One is naturally the early death of the Tubo leader. He is worried that things in the world are beyond Su Yu's calculations.

Another thing is how to select new officials.

From ancient times to the present, the Han Dynasty advocated filial piety and integrity, but it became a disadvantage later on.

Then there is the Nine-rank Official Personnel Law formulated by Chen Qun, which has been used for more than 450 years.

Since then, the talent election system that has been practiced for hundreds of years has not been implemented.

Li Shimin and Su Yu's ghost conspiracy wiped out the five surnames and Qiwang, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system will definitely not be implemented again.

However, there is no new employment system.

This thing is a headache.

As an emperor, it is impossible to do everything in the world by himself.

Those founding ministers in the DPRK are all old.

There are no newcomers to join, and the imperial court is a pool of stagnant water.

Worry, worry.
"Tell me, what does Li Er want to ask?"

Su Yu stretched, wanting to go back to sleep.

"The seven prominent families in the court have been eradicated, and there are not enough people in the court now."

"Li Er wants to select talents, especially those from poor families to serve as officials in the court. What do you think should be done?"

Li Shimin said.

The emperors of all dynasties, in fact, most hoped to select children from poor families.

why?
Because the poor family has no backer, everything is given by the emperor.

So loyal to the emperor.

Those who came from big families didn't buy much from the emperor.

For example, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs that were just wiped out.

"Yes, I heard that Li Er is now in court, and the ministers below are all dissatisfied."

"There is no shortage of things in the court, and someone has to do it."

Du Ruhui was worried.

Su Yu said with a smile: "Old Du, you accountant, you are just like the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

puff.
Du Ruhui almost vomited blood.

Although he knew that Su Yu was just joking.

But this is too accurate.

Has Su Yu already seen through everything?
"Brother, a good person will do his best to the end, and send the Buddha to the West."

"You help Li Er get rid of the five surnames and Qiwang, and then help him think of a way, how to select outstanding children from poor families to serve as officials in the court."

Li Shimin laughed.

Wei Zheng was half drunk and half awake, Fang Xuanling supported him to prevent Wei Zheng from saying the wrong thing.

Su Yu said, "Isn't there a ready-made solution?"

Ready-made solution?
Li Shimin was stunned, not knowing what Su Yu was talking about.

"Where is there a ready-made solution?"

"Could it be the Ju Xiaolian and Jiupin Zhongzheng system?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu shouldn't have said such unlevel words.

Fang Xuanling is a historian, and he continued, "Young Master Su, what is ready-made is the Law of Xiaolian and Ninth Rank Officials."

"Both of these are not suitable, I'm afraid you will have to think of a better one."

Su Yu shook his head and said, "It's not about that."

"I mean, didn't Emperor Sui Yang create the imperial examination system?"

The imperial examination system flourished in the Tang Dynasty.

But it was founded by Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

It's a pity that Yang Guang was too hot, he killed himself, and didn't have time to promote it on a large scale.

There is also opposition from the prominent families in the court.

When Su Yu mentioned Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Du Ruhui was so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded him, "Young Master Su, don't talk nonsense."

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is a foolish emperor, how can he use his things?"

"At that time, Yang Guang implemented the imperial examination system, and the ministers of the court strongly opposed it. The court situation was turbulent, and the monarch and ministers were separated from each other."

"His things must never be implemented."

Du Ruhui was young at the time and knew the situation at that time.

The implementation of the imperial examination system was opposed by the ruling and opposition parties.

Yang Guang disdainful of the famous family, insisted on going his own way, and did it anyway.

Li Shimin also shook his head.

The queen said: "My dear brother, it is said that the Sui Dynasty II died, and the imperial examination system was the beginning of its demise. This is definitely not feasible."

Su Yu shook his head and said, "You guys underestimated Yang Guang too much, he can be regarded as a courageous emperor."

"He is like Cao Cao. The merits and demerits are not two people, and they are ruined by the same body."

When Su Yu reversed the case, everyone was shocked.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had a good dynasty, but was ruined by Yang Guang, and everyone scolded him.

Only Su Yu said that Emperor Sui Yang was good.

What is the reason for this?
"Come on, let me tell you."

"Don't say anything else, just say two things."

"The first is the imperial examination system."

"It is said that the imperial examination system was the beginning of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, which is absurd."

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty acted too hastily. All the high positions in the court were occupied by famous families. He didn't get rid of these wealthy families, but wanted to implement the imperial examination system. This is very naive."

"Think about it, if you are a minister and occupy a high position, but Yang Guang wants to be elected from a poor family and replace you, will you not rebel?"

"And, Lao Li. Let me tell you, the imperial examination system invented by Yang Guang has been implemented for more than 1000 years."

Su Yu shook his head and said.

Li Shimin was shocked.

The imperial examination system that led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty was implemented for more than 1000 years.

Could it be that Yang Guang is not an innocent and stupid king?
Du Ruhui was fascinated.

"So, the implementation of the imperial examination system is Yang Guang's great contribution to future generations."

Su Yu said.

"Also, if Li Er implements the imperial examination system, future generations will not say that he is not good."

"I remember which poet praised him: Emperor Taizong really made a national policy, and made heroes die."

Su Yu said casually.

puff.
Li Shimin vomits blood: Emperor Taizong?I'm not dead yet, you actually gave me a posthumous title.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui dare not speak.

This Su Yu really dared to say that he actually said his posthumous name in front of the emperor.

If it were someone else, they would have been dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.

"The imperial examination system is the first, and the second is to build the Grand Canal."

"This Yang Guang is indeed too hasty, recruiting so many civilians to build the Grand Canal."

"But the Grand Canal has opened up the north-south water system, and from then on, materials from the south of the Yangtze River can be transported to the north by water."

"Old Li, you are a grain merchant, you should know that."

"The rice in Yangzhou comes from the Grand Canal."

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin nodded, indeed.

The things on the Luoyang side of Chang'an all come from the Grand Canal.

Water transportation is the most economical and labor-saving.

"Of course, Yang Guang also has bad things, and there are many of them."

"It's a good family property, but it's gone for fun."

Su Yu shook his head.

The hat of the king of subjugation cannot be taken off.

"Then according to my brother, Li Er should implement the imperial examination system."

Li Shimin asked.

After Su Yu said this, Li Shimin had already made up his mind.

The imperial examination system was implemented.

"Yes, the imperial examination system will be implemented."

"This imperial examination system adopts the method of examination. As long as you can pass the imperial examination, you can enter the official career regardless of your background."

"And Lao Li, remember to tell Li Er, don't engage in scholars, farmers, businessmen, and be equal."

Su Yu said.

The consequence of suppressing businessmen is that in modern history, Huaxia began to decline, strangling the buds of capitalism to death.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, all capable people in the world can enter official careers."

"So, all the heroes in the world have been recruited by Li Er."

"A clever plan."

The queen smiled and said, "Husband, this hero didn't go in."

The queen pointed at Su Yu.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "My brother is not a hero, he is a salted fish."
