"The spring examination is coming soon... Our Tang Dynasty seeks talents from all over the world and opens the imperial examination to seek talents. He ordered Luo Shixin, the Minister of Justice, to be the chief examiner, to be responsible for the selection of scholars in this imperial examination."

At the beginning of the second year of Zhenguan, the main discussion of the morning court on that day was the upcoming imperial examination.

The imperial examinations originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Because the Nine-rank Zhongzheng proposed by Chen Qun in the past, it became countless prosperous clans, making it difficult for poor scholars to show their ambitions. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, by the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially after the middle of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, people took measures to strengthen the role of examinations in talent selection, such as "sacking Zhongzheng, entering the official position for a limited year, not focusing on family resources, regular selection of nine-ranks, and being awarded official positions for trials".

After that, the talented and talented Emperor Yang Jian named the method of taking the exam and the imperial examinations derived from the Southern and Northern Dynasties the imperial examinations. Li Shimin attached the most importance to talents and the imperial examinations. Based on the Sui Dynasty, the general reforms were made to seek talents in the world. Therefore, the imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty and improved the theory of the Tang Dynasty.

The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were held every year, and every year they were selected to be the chief examiners.

Luo Shixin sat aside at the beginning and was sleeping. This man knew himself. He had been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time and was familiar with all the habits here. However, the enlightenment education is the current culture of the 21st century, and it is difficult to adapt to the ancient Four Books and Five Classics. The profound culture of the ancients was limited to a general understanding of the profound culture, and it is inconsistency with those students who have studied hard for ten years.

This is also something that people in the court know. Ordinary people say that he is both civil and military, which often refers to his military achievements and government affairs. It has nothing to do with his cultural level.

Luo Shixin felt that the imperial examination had nothing to do with it, so he sat aside and took a break.

Thinking of the battle with Zheng Liwan last night, I felt distracted and a little annoyed. I hated myself for being unable to control myself, and it would be bad if I really got pregnant.

As Xiaohuzha grew up, Zheng Liwan was extremely eager to beg for a child.

Luo Shixin agreed, but there was a little resistance: Pingyang was pregnant for eleven months, but he was frightened. Even the experienced midwife said that if Pingyang had not practiced martial arts since childhood and was not as strong as an ordinary woman, there was a great possibility that she would not be able to hold on. So there was a little psychological shadow.

Zheng Liwan had already reached the age of becoming a mother in ancient times, but she was in her early twenties and had not reached the best childbirth age to be scientifically studied in later generations. In order to avoid any incidents, Luo Shixin deliberately avoided her ovulation period, allowing her to pass one or two years.

This kind of thing is hard to explain in detail. Zheng Liwan is the kind of little woman who likes to pursue details. If she misunderstood, something might happen, she would not explain it to her.

The little girl always thought she was not working hard enough. She worked very hard every time she was having sex, and Luo Shixin couldn't stand such a strong body. She couldn't help it last night and ejaculated during the ovulation period. When she thought about it this time, she always felt a little sad.

Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Shixin suddenly heard Li Shimin appoint him as the chief examiner...

He never expected that this examiner would fall on him. The imperial examination was not as important as expected in this newly developed thing, but it was also the key to the Shilin Festival. The choice of the examiner has always been the top priority. Last year, the examiner was Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji was the Minister of Personnel and the boss of the Six Ministry. This old fox is more than enough to be a examiner in terms of prestige and talent. Even if he avoids repetition this year, why is it not his turn to avoid it?

He was stunned for a moment. After receiving the reminder from Li Jing in front of him, he woke up with confusion and received the order.

Even if he has objections to this appointment, he cannot speak in front of the civil and military officials.

After the court meeting ended, Luo Shixin naturally found Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had already expected that Luo Shixin would come back and prepared some snacks in the garden yard first.

"I'll know you're back. I'll have a few drinks with me. I've been busy lately and I've made three bites of food to eat. There are not many opportunities to drink leisurely..." Li Shimin was very energetic, but his face was a little tired. He smiled and greeted Luo Shixin and sat down, "Do you want to know why you are the chief examiner?"

Luo Shixin sat down as he said, with a wry smile on his face, "Your Majesty, you don't know my level. Just in just a few seconds, I may not be able to recite the Analects of Confucius according to the book. Isn't it difficult for me to be the chief examiner? Isn't this difficult for me to be a civil and military official in the court, and those who are better than mine in their knowledge, I will catch a lot of them."

"That's right!" Li Shimin did not deny Luo Shixin's self-deprecating behavior at all, and nodded: "But they all have their tasks and can't get rid of them!"

Luo Shixin said dissatisfiedly, "Then I will... be fine!" His voice was a little low, and he was a little guilty as he said. When he was the Minister of Justice, there were still many things. At that time, the world was determined, and there were many illegal people who survived the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. They could not change their wildness after the chaos, and they did not obey the legal constraints of the Tang Dynasty, and many still committed crimes.

Then the Ministry of Justice still has a lot of things to do...

However, with the judicial officials of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, such as Luo Shixin, Han Zhongliang, Ma Zhou, Liu Yanke, Liu Dewei, and Sun Fujia, enforced the law impartially, the rule of law was peaceful. As a result, the world was settled due to the destruction of everything. In the current Tang Dynasty, all industries were booming. As long as they were willing to work, there was almost no possibility of starving to death. In this stable situation, the crime rate was the lowest.

With the crime rate, Luo Shixin's Ministry of Justice, where he is located, naturally has nothing to do, and he is not troubled by the leader of the Ministry of Justice. Luo Shixin has been doing so forth. He has been idle these days: he will report to the Ministry of Justice on time every day, explain it, read through the military books and doze off, and have lunch and take a nap to go home to have fun.

In order to win people's hearts, Li Yuan gave high officials and generous salaries to those who defected to Li Tang, making them think that they met a wise ruler and sincerely served Li Tang.

This method of winning people's hearts did bring great benefits to Li Tang in the early stages of his business, but it undoubtedly left the hidden danger of officials being tired in later generations.

Li Shimin's layoffs and reductions in office were the solution to the sequelae left over from the beginning.

Li Shimin made drastic layoffs, cutting more than 2,000 officials to 643. It can be seen that what Li Shimin said, "Officials are the ones, but not many people are the ones." is by no means empty talk.

Now every official in the court has his own duties and responsibilities, sharing the things of at least three people, and forming a trend of doing practical things.

Luo Shixin's leisurely official is unique in the current court.

Seeing that Luo Shixin was not confident enough, Li Shimin smiled and said, "You are the most empty, who will come if you don't come? Besides, it's not that you are comparing knowledge with the candidates, what are you afraid of."

Luo Shixin thought of leaving him for leisurely days, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Don't give me this!" Li Shimin laughed and scolded: "You really think I'm blind? You, the civil and military officials in the court, are the most casual and free, and you are more enjoyable than me, the emperor. What's wrong with giving you a task?"

Luo Shixin shrank his head and did not dare to say anything. Thinking of the upcoming "Spring Examination", he could only put on his scalp. Thinking of the imperial examination, he suddenly remembered that at this time there was only the literary examination, and there was no martial examination. The martial examination emerged during the Wu Zetian period.

The development of this country is not good to emphasize literature too much, and it is not good to emphasize martial arts too much. It is the kingly way to emphasize both civil and military development together.

What do you think if you have an imperial examination but no martial arts examination?

He also told Li Shimin about the military exercises, "Your Majesty, you see, I relied on literati in the Tang Dynasty. Why do we have to rely on our military generals when fighting wars? What about this literati who can show himself to the imperial examination? Why not have a military exercise to test the talents in the world? Just take the martial arts skills, military techniques, archery and other skills, and then a martial arts top scholar. What do you think?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he slapped the stone table and said, "It's interesting..." He thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I will record this proposal first, and I will make it available when the right time. I will remember you at that time..." He sighed regretfully, and felt a sense of sorrow.

"Why?" Luo Shixin was puzzled. He just implemented the proposal, and there were any other ink marks.

"If you don't take charge of your family, you naturally don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive! Recently, the empty treasury has been worrying. You have lived a comfortable life, so how can you understand my feelings!" Li Shimin was very bitter as soon as he said this, as if this emperor was not at all happy.

Luo Shixin became even more confused: "How could it be that the economy of my Tang Dynasty is developing so rapidly? After the Silk Road was opened, I heard that the commercial tax has increased more than doubled compared to before, so I shouldn't be so poor, right?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "When I only enter and leave here? Develop deserts and increase the grain output in the coming year, where does this money come from? You can talk about the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, just say it simply. Study compass and study seaship technology. Where does this money come from? There are countless places where I need to use money for the development of the Tang Dynasty. I wish I could break a Tongbao into two pieces. Now you have another martial arts ceremony. If I adopt it, I will announce the whole country and carry out the provincial examination nationwide. What mess will it be? Isn't this money from the treasury of my Tang Dynasty? This development cannot be too impatient to avoid going to the previous dynasty. The lessons of the past are vivid in my mind!"

Luo Shixin was shocked when he heard Li Shimin's bitterness, and he felt that he seemed to have encouraged his growth. Because he changed history, in just a few years, the economic status of the Tang Dynasty had developed at a rapid pace. If this development was too fast, there would be a risk of unstable foundations... like the Great Leap Forward in Later Life...

"By the way..." Li Shimin saw that Luo Shixin had some understanding, and stopped talking. Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "I heard yesterday that there was a Jingguan in Goguryeo?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
