When Wang Qiao heard this, he suddenly became excited. After all, the governors under Du Qi were all real officials. Although he came to the Western Region, he never thought that he would become a governor.
Now that he had this opportunity, it was like smoke rising from his ancestors' graves. In particular, as the governor of Shu-lik, his trip to the Western Region was not in vain. As long as he did well, his position as the governor of Shu-lik would far surpass that of the head of the Wang family.
Wang Qiao was excited, but he remained sober. He solemnly said, "Rest assured, Emperor Xia. I will do my best to govern Shu-lik and not let you down."
This time, Wang Qiao came with an aide.
There was an aide.
Therefore, even if Wang Qiao did not understand something, there would be someone to give him advice. After all, the Wang family arranged for him to work in the Western Region. Of course, they would do their best to support him.
Du Qi said, "I believe in you."
The rest of the young people from the big families were shocked. Some of them even had an expression of disbelief because it was too unbelievable. However, after a while, this thought turned into ambition. Wang Qiao could become a governor, so they also had hope. Therefore, many of them were already in high spirits.
Du Qi looked at the rest of the people from the big families again and said, "As for the arrangements for all of you, the government will make the arrangements one by one. That will be the time to test you."
"We will not disappoint Emperor Xia."
One by one, they kept saying.
Everyone's face was full of expectation and joy. They were the young generation in their respective families. If they wanted to be an official, they first had to take the imperial examination. Even if the family was powerful, it was not easy to become an official in one step. After all, today's Tang dynasty was no longer an era where the big families could cover the sky.
However, in the Western Region, they did not need to take the imperial examination to become an official. This was their opportunity.
They must not miss it.
They must seize the opportunity.
After Du Qi made some arrangements, he didn't speak any more nonsense and directly arranged for the attendants to bring wine and meat. After the attendants filed in and served all the wine, Du Qi asked everyone to drink to their heart's content.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Even so, no one present showed any signs of arrogance. These were, after all, the talents of their respective clans. Although they were not the top talents, they were all capable, discerning, and ambitious. Therefore, even when he drank, he was never as drunk as mud, nor did he drink recklessly. At the end of the banquet, Du Qi asked Shangguan Yi to arrange for people to lead everyone led by Wang Qiao to rest.
Everyone lived in the palace.
Now that the palace was empty, there were plenty of rooms. Although Tian Chen's palace was not big, it was equivalent to a slightly bigger mansion. But in reality, it could easily accommodate hundreds of people. After all, there was no one living there.
In the main hall, everything was put away.
In the end, only Du Qi, Shangguan Yi and Lai Ji were left.
With a solemn expression, Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Yi and Lai Ji, these young disciples of aristocratic families have come to the Western Regions. This is an opportunity to enrich the Western Regions. These people had to be arranged properly and no mistakes could be made. How do you think we should arrange them? "
Lai Ji thought for a moment, then he took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I think that most of the main disciples of the aristocratic families should be arranged in Shu-lik Prefecture and Gumo Prefecture. In these two places, the counties will adjust what should be adjusted, and the county magistrates will be changed. "
"These two areas alone can accommodate at least 20 people. In addition, we will transfer a portion of the county magistrates from Yi Prefecture, Gaochang, Yanqi, and Qiuci Prefecture to serve in the Prince's Mansion. We will vacate the county magistrates of the counties and let them serve in the local areas and take charge of the local areas. "
"Serving in the local areas is the most important test. We can see their quality. With this premise, this group of people can be arranged properly and ensure that they have the opportunity to display their abilities. "
Lai Ji continued, "Of course, some of the most outstanding people can stay in the Prince's Mansion to work. After all, after the six divisions were established, there were many vacancies and needed to be filled with talents. "
Shangguan Yi's expression was solemn, he echoed, "Your Majesty, I agree with Lai Ji's analysis. Moreover, I have an idea during this period of time. I have read the classics and the history books of the past and found a problem. "
"If the core members of the imperial court do not understand the local situation, it is easy for them to take things for granted when governing. Especially the scholars, many of them are not diligent in their work and do not know the difference between grain and grain. They do not know about crops and are not clear about the price of basic necessities in the market. They all take things for granted and are moved by their own governance. "
"This kind of arrangement is absolutely not acceptable."
"Therefore, I believe that there should be an iron law in the Great Continent, whether it is now or in the future. The officials of the imperial court, such as the six divisions, five temples, one station, and one bureau, should all be promoted from the local areas. "
Shangguan Yi said solemnly, "Only the officials promoted from the local areas know how difficult the people's lives are and how hard the people's lives are. Only then can they empathize with the people. This arrangement can put an end to the ignorance of the officials to the greatest extent. "
Du Qi praised, "Mister Shangguan's suggestion is really ingenious. This clause can be used as an important criterion for selecting the important officials of the imperial court. "
In fact, in the future, all the important officials were promoted step by step from the local areas.
They fought their way out of tens of thousands of people.
If one did not have a local background and did not have good political achievements, it would be extremely difficult to be promoted. Regardless of whether one was parachuted into the local area or was born and raised in the local area, one must start from the local area and have a local background. This kind of arrangement can ensure that the officials truly understand the local situation and will not be completely ignorant.
Shangguan Yi received Du Qi's permission and was happy, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qi continued, "Wang Qiao's arrangement has been decided. As for the rest of the people, you can think about it carefully and decide on the candidates for Shu-lik, Gumo, and the other four prefectures as soon as possible."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "As for the good seedlings to stay in the prince's residence, decide on them as soon as possible. You can choose them yourselves. After the selection is complete, let the Ministry of Personnel go through the process. The evaluation of these officials will be the Ministry of Personnel's responsibility in the future. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Shangguan Yi and Lai Ji responded in unison.
The current selection of talents was extremely important. Moreover, it could be said that it was rather complicated, but it was also very important. To the two, this was an opportunity to train them.
Shangguan Yi and the others went to work, but Du Qi paid them no heed.
He continued to do things at his own pace. Time flowed by, and soon, it was the afternoon of the 26th of September. Shangguan Yi and Lai Ji had finished arranging the positions for the aristocratic scions in just a couple of days.
Everyone had agreed and gone to take up their positions. The lowest position among these people was the county magistrate of a county. This arrangement was something everyone was willing to accept.
However, no one felt proud. On the contrary, they were determined to do their jobs well. That was because Du Qi had said that they only had one chance. Only by doing it well would they have the opportunity to rise step by step. If they did not do well in their respective areas, they would lose the opportunity to establish a foothold in the Western Regions.
Today's afternoon was somewhat cold and windy.
Shangguan Yi, on the other hand, was leading the officials of the prince's residence to the western city gates, ready to welcome the King of Shu-lik, Maha Duo, and his entourage. Shangguan Yi waited quietly. Fortunately, he did not have to wait for long before someone shouted that someone was coming.
Shangguan Yee raised her head and looked forward.
He saw a group of people rushing toward the city gates on the official road in the distance.
It was the group from Shu-lik.
