Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 136

In the Hongwen Museum——

Su Zhao met with representatives of the scholars, and had conversations with them. They were all people who had become famous in the Hongwen Museum in recent days. One was Wu Yun and Wu Cong from Shanyang County. Shu, one is He Xuan, Lu Yong and others in Wenyi City, all of whom are leaders for a while.

Su Zhao looked at the young and immature faces, and somehow had some spectrum in his heart.

"My teacher, when I said to hold the Hongwen Museum, he really found some academicians, but these talents who can be used immediately are very few, but fortunately, the number is sufficient, and they are very malleable. , it’s just a short-term training course for young cadres, but unfortunately most of them are local talents from the Soviet Union, it’s really..."

Since the establishment of the Hongwen Museum, there are currently 320 five scholars, and there is not a single scholar from other countries in Zhongzhou. In fact, this is easy to understand. A small country like Su is not attractive enough.

Su Zhaoqing coughed, met the scholar's admiring eyes, and said loudly: "Masters, I must have heard some rumors that I intend to open a course to recruit scholars, set up the law, Mingjing, Mingshu, Jinshi and other disciplines."

Originally, there were roughly three ways to select officials in the Soviet Union, and this is also the method of selecting officials that is prevalent in various countries today.

The first is recommendation, the second is expropriation, and the third is grace.

Needless to say, the third is the Shiqing Shilu system.

Let’s just say that the first two methods of selecting officials can be regarded as a way to bring fresh air to the nobles of Su.

But in recent years, there has gradually been a tendency to be played badly. The ministers recommended each other and recruited each other's children. Of course, it is not that there are some talented children from poor families who have entered the officialdom, but the number is very small.

"Even if there is no battle between the immortal dynasty, the previous conflicts between the scholars supported by these small and medium-sized landlords and the big clan of the public are on the verge of breaking out. A more brutal war among nations." Su Zhao looked at the unspeakably excited young face, and his thoughts drifted away for a moment.

But here, from the mouth of Su Zhao, the lord of the State of Su, listening to the words of opening a course to recruit scholars, all the scholars present showed excitement.

Su Zhaodao: "My lords, you can prepare for the exam at the Hongwen Hall, and wait until the sixth day of the eighth month to take the exam in Wenyi with the scribes from the seven counties."

It is now the end of June and the beginning of July, and there is still more than a month until August. Whether it is to spread the word across the seven counties, give time for response, or prepare for the exam, there is enough time.

In terms of territory, the State of Su is comparable to a province in the later generations of China. Now it is said that it is a provincial examination rather than a provincial examination.

Of course, Su Zhao didn't admit everything, it must be based on merit.

As for the increase in the number of officials Jing Hongdao said, and the distribution of salaries for them, the finances cannot make ends meet?
In Su Zhao's view, it was because Jing Hongdao did not understand the system of selecting officials through the imperial examination.

Scholars from the seven prefectures plus Wen Yi, add up, be more conservative, count 2000 people, and recruit ten to one, how much is that?There are only one or two hundred people.

These people, who have outstanding talents, will be added to the Six Offices of the Center, Shangshutai, Yushitai, and Hongwenguan to compile books, so as to serve as a demonstration effect of Qianjin City Horse Bone.

For the rest, after training, these people will be sent to the 53 counties of the seven counties to watch the government, so as to reserve talents for the reform of the big government.

What did he pay for?
A few sets of official uniforms in spring and winter, and a few commissions.

The monthly salary is not even distributed according to normal officials, it is similar to allowances and subsidies, combined with other spiritual rewards.

In this era when ministers dominate the selection of officials, Su's move undoubtedly opened up a predictable upward path. If the salary is still low, then it is greedy and godless!

To put it bluntly, Su Zhao is changing little by little the way you recommend me and I recommend you to select officials, and try to recruit only on merit.

"This is Guan Peisheng from my country of Su." Su Zhao looked at the scholar in front of him, thinking.

Guan Peisheng, uh, knows everything.

Of course, if he really has talent and can fight in the intertwined counties and counties, he must not hesitate to be high-ranking and generous.

"It's a training mechanism for the echelon of reserve talents, so that no one can use it. This is the same as the lecture hall. If one day, the prime minister can start from the state and county, and the fierce general can be sent to the army..."

After Su Zhao met the scholars, it was already noon, so he ordered someone to pass the banquet, and had a feast with all the scholars, and then, accompanied by Han Dai and others, he left the Hongwen Hall.

The next stop is the lecture hall.

Unlike the Hongwen Museum located in the bustling and bustling streets, this military academy is located on a hill surrounded by pine trees and bamboo forests near Yuntai Mountain.

Even its completion was not publicized with great fanfare in the imperial court, but it was only reported to Su Zhao alone.

Su Zhao, under the guidance of Feng Kuang, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, came to the mountain road. The first, second, and second deputy supervisors of the martial arts hall got the news, and led the teachers and small officials of the martial arts hall, standing in a dark crowd, standing on a stone tablet as tall as a person. Waiting in front, the three characters "Jianwutang" are engraved on the stone tablet, and there are armored soldiers guarding on the watchtower around.

At this moment, there was another patter of rain in the sky.

When Su Zhao arrived, they said in unison: "I have seen you."

Su Zhao stretched out his hands and said, "Your lords, please excuse me."

Su Zhao looked at the rows of green walls and blue tiles in the distance, the houses that looked like school houses, and the stone road paved with bluestones, and he couldn't help but praised: "The officials in the Privy Council and the Sikong Mansion, etc., do things with heart, and they are commended in writing. "

It has actually only been about half a month since he ordered the preparation of the martial arts hall, but it has been so efficient, which surprised him, and he also has more confidence in the bureaucracy of the Soviet Union.

Shang Shulang at the side quickly wrote it down.

Feng Kuangdao: "Reporting to the lord, the ministers dare not take credit for it. This was originally an abandoned barracks. It was abandoned by the lords of the previous generation. Now it has been repaired and rectified."

Su Zhao nodded, and then asked a middle-aged official with a burly figure and a dignified face. This person was named Zhao She. He was originally a small official in Sima's mansion. Being excluded was considered to be one of the few available people that Su Zhao unearthed from the Sima Mansion when he was cleaning up Yuan Bin's remaining party.

Everyone came to a house, sat down and finished.

Su Zhao asked: "Inspector Zhao, how many teachers and students are there in the school?"

"Hui Junhou, there are currently 130 teachers and students. The students are composed of the best fighters in the Yuntai camp's forbidden army competition, as well as the meritorious sergeants on the front line of suppressing robbers. Now they are divided into four houses, A, B, C, and D, with about 40 people in each house. , Now there is a shortage of teachers.”

Shang Shulang, who was accompanying him, recorded it with a pen.

In fact, the current lecture hall is a crash course for training middle and lower-level officers.

Su Zhao showed some thought on his face, and said: "All generals above lieutenant colonel can come and give lectures. Feng Qing can come here every now and then to talk about the situation that our Su country is facing. Of course, Gu will also come and talk about it. This course is called "National Views."

The military system of the Soviet Union consisted of five men for one army, ten men for one ten, five for one tun, two for one tune, one for five tunes, and one army for five.

The first army has about 3000 people, led by one chief and two deputy commanders, and six school lieutenants.

Feng Kuang nodded yes.

Su Zhao then asked: "What courses are set up? How long are the teaching hours?"

Zhao She said: "Generate your strength in the morning, practice martial arts, ride and shoot in the afternoon, and read military history and military books in the evening. The teaching time is tentatively planned to be three months."

Su Zhaodao: "Gu has recently obtained some martial arts skills, and there are still many great medicines in the treasury, which will be delivered one after another. During these three months, there will be regular evaluations. For those who perform well, they can be awarded Martial arts, secret medicine, help him break through."
