Although Xiao Shanwen wrote a memorial to the emperor and spoke three bad things in Zhejiang, his actual operations were very conservative.

After winning the second place, he became the county magistrate for three years, and then went to the Ministry of Personnel to serve as a doctor (fifth rank), and then went to the prefect to become the prefect.

It can be said that he not only has local and central experience, but also has honed a lot of insights in his three years of political observation.

To govern a government, millions of people, you have to be more cautious.

Therefore, shortly after taking office, Xiao Shanwen personally paid a visit to Qian Wangmiao, and he respected Qian Liu, the former king of Wu Yue, on the surface.

This made the entire Zhejiang Prefecture relax and relieved.

Immediately, the prefect was too idle to rest, and the subordinates led the troops to patrol various prefectures and counties, which was called surveying farming, but in fact it was just fooling those rich families.

In fact, Xiao Shanwen inspected the Qian family branch in various prefectures and counties. As long as he had a very deep power and deep roots, he recorded them in his notebook, waiting for future migration.

Administrative matters must be cautious.

Before the summer harvest, he was not ready to take action. There should be no mistakes in spring farming. This is the first time he has collected taxes since he took office, so it is not too much to be careful.

"Wait, Zhejiang Mansion will be completely renewed."

Xiao Shanwen made up his mind.

...

For the court, the most important thing this year is the spring trial.

The spring test once every three years has hit the hearts of thousands of scholars.

This time in the eleventh year of Shenwu, it is the fourth time, and for local scholars, it is almost once every two years and four times.

The quota of Juren is based on local prefectures. Since the tenth year of Shenwu, the territory was expanded, the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, the six prefectures of Beiting, the four prefectures of Longyou, and the one Liangzhou, the number of juren admitted to last year's autumn examination reached 447.

It is the best in the past years.

In addition to the accumulated juren in the past few years, the number of applicants for this spring exam exceeded the 2,000 mark.

However, there are only sixty people in the Jinshi area.

What is this concept?

It's almost forty to get one, and the chances are too small.

So much so that when the number of imperial examination candidates came out, the court was in an uproar.

You should know that these juren are originally elites selected from scholars. It is too exaggerated to choose the best among them.

For a time, Jinshi gathered in the capital, and the inns were crowded. Even the temples and Taoist temples they lived in were hard to find.

Regarding this matter, the Imperial City Department has always been concerned about the capital, and has known its importance to talents, and has been busy reporting it to the emperor.

After thinking for a moment, the emperor was confident and decided to repair the empty abandoned houses in Luoyang City and live with his son for free. The cost was less than a hundred cents.

However, such problems are just a small problem in this spring exam. In fact, the quota of Jinshi is the most critical.

As Prime Minister Sun Zhao said: "The Tang Dynasty has 9,000 miles north and south, and thousands of miles east and west. There are tens of millions of people, and there are 60 Jinshi, which is really too few."

However, if there is support, there will be opposition. If the number of Jinshi places increases, isn’t that equivalent to infilling water?

If there are too many things, they will not be worth it. This is a common truth.

Therefore, the opponents said without respect: "The Jinshi is the essence of the world. What the Xianggong said is really a big mistake. If the quota is added, wouldn't it give those vulgar people an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Today is the ceremonial meeting on the 15th day of the lunar month, and officials above the sixth rank can attend. The entire hall is filled with people. Those who openly contradict the Prime Minister are naturally from the Censorate.

This group of Jinshi who had just finished observing politics was still full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and was not afraid of the prime ministers.

On the contrary, as the Prime Minister, Sun Zhao could not confront him. The Prime Minister could hold a boat in his stomach. For the sake of his reputation, he could only swallow his anger.

Because, after his light, he had already seen that the emperor was looking at the joke, with a smile on his lips.

No matter whether you win or lose, he loses.

He returned to the queue without even looking at it. A small official came out at the end and hurriedly said, "Under Your Majesty's wise and magical martial arts, the Tang Dynasty has expanded countless territory in recent years, and countless official positions are being controlled by old officials and corrupt officials. This is just a temporary solution."

"Now, it is time to select talents and appoint talents. One Jinshi is only 60 years old, and the imperial court has more than 600 official positions a year have been vacant?"

The young censor was speechless after these words. The latter was very proud and Sun Zhao's mouth was slightly raised.

"Absurd!" At this time, another person walked out and bowed: "The imperial court appointed the imperial examination to select talents and abilities. Even if there are vacant positions, they cannot just fill in the numbers. However, they do not know that if one official and one official have tens of thousands of people under their rule, if there are any mistakes, the disaster will be even more serious. How can they be so casual?"

"If you can guarantee that you will be a post-Jinshi, there will be no such corrupt officials who will abuse the people. We will just send a WeChat message."

Who can guarantee it? The same rice, a hundred people, took the blame for the mistake, and the small official returned angrily.

Two young censors surrendered to the list, and for a time, the government and the country were attracted by it. They were famous and had an unlimited future.

This time, the Censorate won a great victory.

During this period, the emperor sat high on the dragon throne, ignoring his attention and allowing them to perform.

Seeing that Sun Zhao was suffering a loss, Li Jia smiled and said, "The things in the world are clearer and clearer the more you debate."

All the officials nodded and expressed their approval.

In fact, this debate was just an appetizer.

What he does is the position of the examiner.

As we all know, although the imperial examination examiner was much worse than the one-word title of the previous Tang Dynasty, the situation that the emperor passed by was far inferior to that of the emperor, but he still had great temptation.

Not to mention anything else, who is not his connection to the sixty Jinshi admitted?

Although I can't enjoy it for a while, it's the most suitable one as a legacy of officialdom.

After all, judging from the current situation, it is impossible to reach the level of Jinshi to prime minister without ten or twenty years of hard work, and how could there be a prime minister in the world for more than ten years?

Li Jia clearly saw that Sun Zhao had served as the chief examiner for a term, so he knew that he had no chance, so he wanted to make suggestions to increase the quota and gain prestige for himself.

In other words, as the chief examiner, a certain person has added more Jinshi, but as a result, a half-time Jinshi is also grateful to Sun Zhao.

As for those juren who did not pass the exam, their gratitude was beyond words and they would have more opportunities in the next subject.

This is a legacy for generations, how can it succeed like this?

Among the prime ministers, Zhao Pu and Deng Bin have not served as chief examiners.

It's not difficult to choose between these two people.

After all, the last time the examiner was Wang Pu.

"Deng Bin——"

"I'm here!"
