Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Shangguan's suggestion is indeed good. On the one hand, we can put Yang Buqi in an important position. At the same time, we have completed the adjustment of the Provincial Governor of Yi Province. "
Shangguan Yi said, "That's what I mean."
Du Qi said seriously, "However, we have to adjust the officials in various places because we don't have many talents and have a weak foundation. Therefore, we can only adjust Luo Yansheng for now. As for the rest of the people, we will wait for a while. The people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes in the Tang dynasty will gather in the Western Regions. At that time, we won't lack talents and can promote them on a large scale. "
Shangguan Yi said seriously, "Your Majesty, when it comes to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, we have to be careful. Because when these people arrive in the Western Regions, they are very likely to develop the strength of their families first and not care about the interests of the Xia Xia. "
Du Qi smiled gently and said, "The existence of the aristocratic families is because of the existence of the Nine Rank System during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which made the officials protect each other and made all the poor children have no room to rise."
"However, in the Western Regions, the Xia Xia will not adopt the recommendation system, but the selection method of the imperial examination. When the war in the Gu Mo Kingdom is over, we will solve some internal problems immediately. "
"For example, the imperial examination should be carried out on a large scale. It can't be carried out without any progress."
"Even for the time being, there is no possibility of carrying out the imperial examination on a large scale in the Western Regions. However, we can also choose carefully and use the imperial examination to let more and more knowledgeable people rush into the Xia Xia. "
Du Qi said, "In short, with this system, the poor children will have a chance. Therefore, it's impossible for you to worry about the emergence of aristocratic families. However, there will be real big families. "
"This can't be stopped."
"Because as long as there are officials in the court, or even a Provincial Governor of a province, or even a Minister of a ministry, or the future Chief of the Cabinet, big families will be formed."
Du Qi said, "But it's impossible to form an Aristocratic Family. It's impossible to form the monopoly of the Nine Ranks."
Shangguan Yi thought about it carefully. After thinking for a while, he understood Du Qi's reasoning and key points. He agreed, "Your Majesty is wise. I didn't consider it thoroughly."
Lai Ji continued, "Your Majesty, do you mean that we will not expand westward for the time being?"
Du Qi nodded and said, "After the Gu Mo Kingdom is taken down, only the Shu-lik Kingdom in the west is left. Within the borders of Shu-lik, the Tujue's tent was located. Once the Gu Mo Kingdom was stabilized, they would attack Shu-lik and go straight to the Tujue's tent, Qian Quan. One of my plans is to temporarily stop expanding after destroying the Western Turkic tents. "
"At this point, the area we have occupied is already extremely vast. It is vast but sparsely populated."
"Our foundation is insufficient."
Du Qi said, "We will have to lay low for a period of time before we consider further development. We have just occupied these places. Even though we have given them a lot of benefits, it is not easy to get everyone to submit to us. It will take a long time. "
Shangguan Yi heard this and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I also want to talk about this problem. Expansion is a good thing, but if the foundation is not stable after expansion, it will be easy for problems to arise. While expanding, we have to stabilize the situation. If the foundation is not stable, it will be difficult to achieve great things even if the territory is vast. Your Majesty is only in his early twenties. He has enough opportunities to do things and enough time to arrange for development. There is no need to rush expansion. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Mister Shangguan is right."
While Du Qi, Shangguan Yi, and Lai Ji were talking, Huang Shi sat at the side like a statue. Huang Shi could not keep up with the pace of these administrative matters. Moreover, it was not something he was good at. What Huang Shi was best at was killing people. He was carrying out the mission arranged by Du Qi, so Huang Shi did not interrupt.
After Du Qi discussed the arrangements for Gu Mozhou with Shangguan Yi and the others, he let Shangguan Yi and the others make the arrangements.
Shangguan Yi, Lai Ji, and Huang Shi stood up and left.
Shangguan Yi still had things to do. As it involved the adjustment of Luo Yansheng, he was in charge of passing the order. At the same time, Shangguan Yi arranged for someone to pass the order to Yang Buqi, informing him to enter the palace to meet Du Qi.
After the news spread, Yang Buqi quickly entered the palace.
Now that Yang Buqi had submitted, he did not have much hope for his official position. After all, he was once an important minister of Gu Mo Kingdom and Tian Chen's confidant. Even if he submitted, he might not be able to gain Du Qi's trust.
Anyway, he was old, so Yang Buqi was open-minded and did not think much of it.
So be it.
Yang Buqi entered the main hall. When he saw Du Qi, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Sit!"
Yang Buqi thanked him and sat down. He took the initiative to say, "May I know why Your Majesty has asked me to come?"
Du Qi said, "Yang Buqi, you are an extremely talented person. Although Tian Chen is quite wise and a capable master. However, without your assistance, Tian Chen would not have been able to stabilize the situation. He would not have been able to develop Gu Mo Kingdom to its current state in a short period of time. All of this cannot be done without your assistance. "
Yang Buqi shook his head and said humbly, "Your Majesty, you flatter me. I don't deserve it."
Du Qi continued, "Talent is talent. In the place that I govern, the capable will always go up and the weak will go down. "You have the ability, so I will not bury you. "Although you, Lai Xingyu, and the others have already submitted to me. "However, Lai Xingyu will enter the army, and you have no arrangements for the time being. "As for your arrangements, after some consideration, I plan to arrange for you to serve in Yi State as the Provincial Governor of Yi State."
"Ah!"
Yang Buqi was shocked when he heard that.
The Provincial Governor of Yi State.
This was an extremely important official position.
Under Du Qi's command, he was already considered a high-ranking official and an important minister who ruled over a region. He had just submitted to Du Qi, but he was going to serve in Yi State. Yang Buqi could not suppress his surprise. Even if his expression did not change when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, even if his mental fortitude was good, he would never have thought that it would be too unexpected.
Du Qi asked, "Why? You didn't think of it?"
Yang Buqi said solemnly, "Your Majesty's arrangement is unexpected. I did not expect it. "After all, I have just submitted, but Your Majesty trusts me so much and uses me. "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will do my best and not let you down."
Yang Buqi was a typical Confucian scholar.
What he believed in was reason. It was the king who treated him as a country scholar, so he should repay him as a country scholar. Du Qi's trust in Yang Buqi made Yang Buqi attach great importance to it. With this opportunity, Yang Buqi naturally could not let down Du Qi's high hopes. The past was the past. Although he was once Tian Chen's man, he was now Du Qi's man.
Du Qi said with a smile, "I have always used people without doubting them. "Since I use you, I trust you. "When you reach Yi State, just do it. You don't have to worry about anything."
Yang Buqi said, "I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
To be able to gain Du Qi's trust and become a high-ranking official of a region, Yang Buqi was quite excited.
This was his chance.
He had to seize the opportunity because compared to following Tian Chen, following Du Qi now had a better future. There were also more and greater opportunities. After all, Du Qi now dominated the Western Region and even destroyed Tongyehu.
