"Once you refuse to take up the position, you will not be able to become an official for the rest of your life. You will not be able to become an official for three generations."
Li Yi directly told him how to deal with this matter. It was the same as a deserter.
Currently, in Chang 'an, many people who passed the Imperial Examination were waiting for a suitable position.
The Ministry of Personnel had arranged an official position for him, but he felt it was too far away. The local government was still poor and had a small population.
He had been asking for help and using his connections to get an official position near Chang 'an or Henan Province.
Yao Chong's son was in Henan Province previously.
If an official did not take up the position, the Ministry of Personnel would wait, and there would be a vacancy in the local government.
Luckily, the officials were hardworking. It was fine even if there was no County Magistrate.
"After the Lunar New Year, give this order." Li Longji decided to listen to Li Yi and chase the officials out of Chang 'an. Who was he going to waste time with?
"There is one more thing. The Ministry of Personnel will teach the officials. Most of them will have to do with official documents. Ask the people to do things according to the rules. Also, build irrigation works and roads. Not enough! "
Li Yi mentioned another situation that needed to be changed.
After passing the Imperial Examination, the students could not become an official immediately unless they had an official in their family.
The rest of them must learn from the officials in the Ministry of Personnel. They must learn how to write letters to pacify the people, notify the people, review cases, and remember the harvest time.
Under normal circumstances, if a County Magistrate could do all these, he was considered a good official.
Just like last year, Li Longji received a tip-off from Zhang Jiuling and conducted a test on a large group of County Magistrates.
In the end, a large group of County Magistrates failed, and dozens of them were sent home to learn.
"I need to learn …" Li Longji uttered these two words and stopped asking.
He knew what Li Yi meant. The officials in the County Magistrate should learn from Li Yi.
Not only can they understand the situation in the County Magistrate's office, but they can also carry out specific tasks, including what vegetables the people grow, whether to repair their houses … …
If the County Magistrate was in charge of public security, he must help the people build fences and teach them how to avoid danger. He must also teach them how to use weapons to hunt dangerous beasts in the woods and mountains.
Of course, if Li Yi were to go down, he would also look at the surrounding Counties and help the State Government think of ways to work with other counties.
"Difficult!" Li Longji did not get carried away. He understood!
Expecting all the officials to do it was harder than ascending to heaven.
If he wanted to go up into the sky, he had a hot air balloon. It would only take a little effort.
Every single one of the officials had the same ability as Li Yi. Ah! Don't joke around!
"It's not difficult. Both batches of students can do it." Li Yi said. The first batch of 41 A-ranked students and the second batch of 220 A-ranked students.
They were specially groomed and taught everything.
Even the students who were sent to the village to write the poem of sympathy for the two ducks and their peers were not a problem.
Before he passed the examination, he became a village official and learned the governance strategies given by Li Yi in the village.
When they returned from the village, the examinees exchanged ideas with each other. Every village developed in a different way.
"The new batch will continue to be sent to the village. They will study for a year and be sent back to the village for the imperial examination next year."
Li Longji suddenly realized that he was short of capable officials.
He went out for a walk and passed by so many counties. Everywhere he went, Li Yi provided him with solutions.
Li Yi seemed to be doing things casually. No, there was only one Li Yi in the world.
"Let's give the batch of students who are helping the people a chance. If they can't do it, we will give them the title of Grand Scholar."
Li Yi did not forget about the students who were living in the migrant worker's house. They had contributed a lot.
In the future, being an official would not depend on one's literary skills. Whoever could solve the problem would be promoted.
Whoever could improve the public security and economy would be promoted first.
It did not matter if they were greedy. The aim was to increase the income of the people.
"Of course! After the New Year. "Li Longji nodded. That's right.
After talking about the New Year, Li Longji had a new question: "When will the merchants celebrate the New Year?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on where they are from. For example, Tubo. They celebrate the New Year during the autumn harvest. There are different arrangements outside. "
Li Yi could not say how the people celebrated the New Year. This included religion.
The current situation was that religion came before the country, including Christianity and Islam.
"Will they celebrate the New Year of the Tang dynasty in Guangzhou?" Li Longji always wanted others to listen to the words of the Tang dynasty.
"They will celebrate the New Year if we let them. However, trade is not allowed. In reality, whoever is powerful will be willing to celebrate the New Year. "
Li Yi did not care what the merchants celebrated the New Year. He only wanted to make money.
"The people of the Yan family have been sentenced. Since no one died because of them, they were not killed. They are just disciples." Li Longji thought of the Yan family in Kaiyuan County.
"Actually, no one died directly. However, it is not easy to convict those who died indirectly." Li Yi did not care much about the Yan family.
"Rest early. It is the end of the year. Do not tire yourself out." Li Longji yawned.
… …
The Kaiyuan County mentioned by Li Longji was lit at night. There were no ice lanterns. It had just rained two days ago.
The temperature was lower today. It was 23 degrees Celsius.
Before it rained, it was 28 degrees Celsius. Everyone wore cool clothes.
Jian Qing brought a thousand Winged Knights to work with the fifth steward of the Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Feng. Li Feng got a lot of mountain people.
He used the profits from buying things to build houses for the mountain people.
He also built roads. The houses were at the foot of the mountain. The roads led to the mountain people's village.
When the mountain people went down the mountain, they would not go back. They had a place to live and could cultivate terraced fields.
The people in Kaiyuan County had a better life. In the few months that Li Feng came, the people's income increased by more than ten times.
Not only Kaiyuan County, but the entire Guangzhou government, the people's income increased. Before Li Feng and the others came.
When Zhang Jiuling was in charge, they had already earned more money. Now, they earned even more.
"We will celebrate the New Year here this year. It is warm!" Jian Qing actually wanted to go back to Chang 'an.
"Seeing the people have more money is the happiest. When I go back, Li Dongzhu will definitely praise me." Li Feng did not care whether it was warm or not.
He also did not want the Li Family Zhuangzi. He was full of results.
His original intention was only to get Li Yi's recognition. As long as Li Yi praised him, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.
If Li Yi said something bad about him, he would seek death.
He was a slave of the Li Family Zhuangzi. He was bought by Li Yi to Zhuangzi and lived a good life.
Like slaves in other places, the slave would take the initiative to protect the slave master. If someone said to overthrow the slave master, the slave would not agree.
That was a slave in a place where he lived a normal life. Unless he was always the slave master and his family was starved or beaten to death, the slave would not be willing to betray him.
The slave did not know anything and relied on the slave master to lead them.
Li Feng was now separated from the Li Family Zhuangzi and could live a good life. He learned a lot of skills.
The more it was like this, the more he felt that it was better to be a slave. When he went out to live, which court official would treat him well?
In the Li Family Zhuangzi, he was a steward and could see the officials. Usually, he could see the Emperor, the Empress, the Retired Emperor, and others.
Of course, the key was that he could not go out.
He wanted to earn money to redeem himself. No, he had to tell Dongzhu and Dongzhu would let him go. Go and live a free life.
Then, after crossing the bridge, he would lose his life.
Dongzhu could let him go, but the court would not give him a chance.
