After Su Hu returned to the inn, he easily renewed the house for another month, which surprised the inn owner. He went to Chang'an City to take the provincial examination almost every year, and he knew very well what the state of each candidate was.

However, it is a fact that Su Hu has money. Their status and status are not as good as scholars, let alone scholars with money.

The reason why they renewed the money for a month was because Xu Yuan told him very clearly that they would not have any publicity except for the notice to recruit talents. After asking Su Hu to return to the inn, they would not disclose the process and results of the matter to anyone, otherwise they would not count everything they had agreed on before.

In addition, Su Hu can prepare for a month and a half in Chang'an City. During this period, he can write letters to his family and then let his family wait at home. When the day comes, someone will naturally escort them to the camp of the Dongmu Shui Army.

When his family arrives, they will basically prepare their residence and a servant. It can be said that you can just do research and design with peace of mind.

After Xu Yuan learned about Su Hu's situation, he made the decision to advance the three-month salary to him to provide him with a portion of the silver and money for his expenses in Chang'an City over the past month. This can be said to be a huge sum of money for Su Hu. With this money, he can completely relax in Chang'an City over the past month.

For Su Hu, this is indeed a good thing, but there are so many candidates coming to Chang'an City to take the provincial examination every year. This time, Li Qing only gave these people three days to register. In addition, many people did not know that there would be an official position in participating in this matter. At the end of the third day, there were only five people who had been approved by Xu Yuan, including Su Hu.

"Your Majesty, this is a list of five people. Is it a little less? If we can release the news that these people can eventually go to the Ministry of Works to be officials from the beginning, even if His Majesty wants fifty people, he can still get it."

When Xu Yuan and Li Qing returned the matter, they were obviously not very satisfied with the result, because the number was too much different from what he had expected before. This was the person the emperor personally asked for, and these people would have the opportunity to become officials in the future. No one went there for such good conditions, so it was obvious that the emperor was slapped in the face.

But Li Qing waved his hand when he heard this, without any unhappy expression, but instead showed a hint of satisfaction.

"This is only the first year. It's not good to have so many people. What I want is the kind of person who really wants to make some contributions to the Dongmu Water Army, not for those who want to become officials in the Ministry of Works."

Xu Yuan thought about it and felt that what Li Xuan said made sense. If Li Xuan really wanted to promote this matter at this time, he would not require these candidates to keep the matter secret after being decided to go to Dongmu, otherwise they would be disqualified.

The purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to select people who really want to go to Dongmu. It doesn’t matter if there are fewer ones, they want elites.

"How much time does Your Majesty plan to let these people stay in the Dongmu Navy?"

When Xu Yuan asked this, Li naturally knew what it meant. In fact, Xu Yuan also wanted these young people to be able to become officials in the Ministry of Works faster.

In fact, Li Li, the Ministry of Works, has long pointed out that their current situation is not very consistent with what they should do.

The Ministry of Works can be said to be the most professional one after the Six Divisions of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, although the Ministry of Works is not as popular as the Ministry of Personnel, there are many official positions that should be found, from the third rank to the ninth rank, and all the five internal organs are complete.

At present, under the leadership of Li Li, the Ministry of Works generally has one Shangshu, the third rank; one attendant, the fourth rank. It is in charge of the mountain, farmland, craftsmen, and paper, pen and ink in various companies.

There are four types of officials below: one is the Ministry of Works, two is the Ministry of Military Affairs, three is the Ministry of Yu, and four is the Ministry of Water.

One person in the Ministry of Works, the Military Field, the Yu Department, and the Water Department, each of which is from the fifth rank; one person in the sixth rank. The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works, is in charge of the affairs of business and construction, and is the dredging of cities, the repair of civil and wood, the procedures of craftsmen, and the longitude of all.

The military farmer was the government order of the military farmer. The military farmer was the government order of the military farmer. The military farmer was the government order of the Yu family, the affairs of Yuheng and mountains and lakes in the world, and the ban was determined at that time. The military farmer was the government order of the rivers and ponds in the world, and the dams and ponds, and used the guidance of the ditches and dams to break rivers and canals. The Ministry of Works was the chief in charge of the military farmer, the Ministry of Yu family was the chief in charge of the water, and the Ministry of Water was the chief in charge of the ninth rank.

Not only are they in charge of craftsmen, but they have no matter what they farm, water conservancy, mountains, rivers and rivers.

Not only do they have a lot of management, but they are also very professional. However, now, no one is actually doing these things, but they have always been officials.

Li Neng knew that these people would definitely not meet their requirements in terms of professionalism or ideological aspects. However, he did want to promote truly professionals over the years, but there were really no suitable candidates. There were many craftsmen with excellent skills who didn’t even know much. Can such people come to Chang'an City to become officials?

Although Li Yi had wanted to do this, under the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, it was really too difficult. It not only aroused large-scale opposition in the court, but even the people and scholars could not get over it.

The advantages of scholars have been formed for too many years. Even if Li Yan's reputation at this time was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely difficult to shake the status of scholars. This is not the reason for an emperor, but the reason for the superposition of many eras.

For example, when Li Shimin was emperor, Duan Lun was promoted to the Minister of Works, and later he was sent to famous mountains and rivers to pray for rain. A few years later, Duan Lun was actually demoted from his official title for introducing the skilled craftsman Yang Siqi.

These things that Li Yan thought were simply unreasonable, and were very normal in the eyes of officials and scholars of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how good the skilled craftsmen were, they had no social status in the Tang Dynasty.

Now, Li Qing can only change this matter by doing the opposite way. Anyway, scholars look down on craftsmen, so I will turn some of you scholars into craftsmen, and then use this part to become craftsmen to become officials. With this, many people probably can't tell the difference between craftsmen and scholars.
