Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 80 Isn't This Better Than Imperial Selection?
When Li Shimin went to Liaozhou City again, it was already October.

At this time, the leaves are withered and yellow, and the pedestrians on the road are also wearing thick clothes.

As soon as he entered Liaoshan County, Li Shimin found that it was different from what he had seen before.

On the right side of the official road, the wild field that was overgrown with weeds was opened up, which was as wide as eight carriages.

There are workers working on it, leveling the original uneven ground and making it about [-] centimeters deeper than the original ground, leading directly to the direction of Liaozhou City.

"Father, is this the road you mentioned?"

Princess Xiangcheng poked her head out of the carriage and asked.

She learned that Li Shimin was going to visit privately again, so she was soft-spoken and went out with Li Shimin again.

"Not yet."

"But it should be soon!"

Li Shimin said slightly excitedly.

It is quite different from the roads I saw in Wuling County.

But judging from the situation, it should be that Fang Yuan started to build roads.

In other words, Fang Yuan has produced cement, and the problem of the Yellow River dam will be solved.

A few days ago, the officials monitoring the Yellow River wrote again, saying that the problem of the Yellow River dams is getting worse.

Repairs are under way, but if there is heavy rain, or if it rains for days, the levee will collapse.

If the dam collapses, the river disaster will spread to several states, and hundreds of thousands of people may lose their families and their wives and children.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin became even more worried, and ordered the carriage to hurry up. He wanted to make sure whether the cement was really manufactured.

It's just that the road is being built next to the official road, so the official road is affected, and the carriage becomes more difficult to walk, and the speed cannot be faster.

At noon, Li Shimin, Princess Xiangcheng and other talents arrived at the gate of Liaozhou Governor's Mansion.

This time, they did not let Du Miaoyan greet them, nor did they go directly to Du Miaoyan's mansion.

When the two got out of the car, they went straight to the gate of the governor's mansion, followed by a young guard.

"stop!"

"what for?"

The state officials blocked the three of Li Shimin.

"Looking for Fang Shishi."

"Please inform me that I am Li Daye."

Li Shimin glanced at the two of them and found that it was not the state official who guarded the gate before, so he said politely.

"Li Daye?"

"Sorry, I haven't heard of it, please go back."

The two state officials looked at each other, expressionless.

"I'm a friend of Governor Fang."

"If you inform, Governor Fang will definitely not blame you."

Li Shimin's face darkened slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Hmph, everyone says they are friends of Lord Inspector."

"It's not impossible to report to you, ten cents for the notification fee, bring it."

The officials of the two prefectures looked Li Shimin up and down, and said mockingly.

For more than ten days, people have been visiting every day, and the reason is also the relatives and friends of Lord Inspector.

Now that Lord Inspector is gaining power, there are more people to please. All cats and dogs are said to be friends of Lord Inspector.

"Do you want more money?"

Li Shimin's face turned cold immediately.

It's just a state official who dares to ask for money after a notification.

Is it a personal problem of the state officials, or did Fang Yuan swell after taking control of Liaozhou?
"Whether you give love or not, if you don't give it, go away."

The two state officials snorted coldly, and looked at Li Shimin and the others with bad eyes.

Li Shimin's eyes became colder, and he immediately wanted to teach the guards behind him a lesson.

But at this moment, a young man in fairly well-dressed trots came and stuck in front.

There are four people behind him, carrying a box two by two. Seeing how they are struggling, the box is very heavy.

"My lords, is Governor Fang here?"

The young man asked in a flattering way.

While speaking, he took out ten copper coins from his pocket.

"Yes, Mr. Sun, please."

When the state officials received the money, they immediately became amiable.

"thanks, thanks."

Sun Gongzi thanked him again and again, and quickly entered the governor's mansion.

The state official who collected the money chuckled, took out five copper coins and handed it to another state official.

"Does Governor Fang know about your actions?"

Li Shimin's face turned completely cold.

Today, someone actually divides the spoils in front of the emperor, which is really rare in the ages.

And looking at the skilled movements of that grandson, it seems that this kind of thing is not a day or two.

"What are you talking about?"

"If you don't leave, deal with it as a disturbance?"

The faces of the two state officials changed, and they said coldly.

"Li Junxian, give me the money."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He didn't have an attack, he wanted to know if this matter was Fang Yuan's intention.

If two state officials were killed in a fit of anger, Fang Yuan would not do anything even if he denied him, and he would not be able to hide his identity.

"Yes."

Li Junxian walked out behind him.

He took out ten copper coins and handed them to one of the state officials.

"Li Daye, right? Wait."

The state official took the money, but his face was still not very good.

But for the sake of money, I finally went in and reported.

Not long after, the state official came out, changed his face, and invited Li Shimin to go in.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, he went in with dissatisfaction, he wanted to ask Fang Yuan what happened?

As soon as he entered, he heard the flattering voice of Sun Gongzi who had just entered.

"Lord Inspector, don't worry!"

"I'm not, I will definitely manage Pingcheng County well!"

Sun Gongzi patted his chest and promised.

"Magistrate Sun will work hard, and I look forward to your performance."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Next to him was the box that Mr. Sun had brought in just now.

One of the boxes was open, revealing a line of copper coins.

Seeing someone coming in, Fang Yuan closed the box without leaving a trace.

"The officer will leave!"

Sun Gongzi also found someone coming in.

He respectfully saluted Fang Yuan, and left with a happy face.

"Is Inspector Fang selling an official?"

Li Shimin said in a cold voice with a sullen face.

He saw that the box brought in by Mr. Sun just now contained money.

Now Young Master Sun has left, the box is next to Fang Yuan, and based on the conversation between the two just now, he guessed that it was a traitor!

Sales officer ah!
How dare he? !

Have you eaten the bear heart and leopard gall? !

Could it be that after taking control of Liaozhou, it really swelled up and revealed its true nature?
"Boss Li, long time no see!"

"Miss Li, you are even more beautiful!"

Fang Yuan changed the subject and greeted the two with a smile.

He has learned that fine salt has been introduced in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, directly replacing coarse salt.

Now that Li Daye's arrival is undoubtedly the arrival of the God of Wealth, it's hard for Fang Yuan to be happy.

Princess Xiangcheng couldn't help smiling, her face flushed slightly, but she didn't dare to speak, because Li Shimin's face was still dark.

"Prefect Fang hasn't come back to me yet, did he sell his official position just now?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

His eyes seemed to be fixed on Fang Yuan's body.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan shrugged and said.

He didn't want to admit it, but the other party pressed him.

It's not a big deal, as long as you know it.

"you!!"

"Why are you like this?"

Li Shimin's eyes turned black with anger, and he almost fainted.

He can be said to be full of gratitude and high hopes for Fang Yuan.

What is grateful is that Fang Yuan took control of Liaozhou in just over a month, which also means that Liaozhou is in the hands of the imperial court, and it is no longer a family that can do whatever they want.

There is also the introduction of fine salt, which soon replaced coarse salt, and the speed of making money is comparable to the speed of making money, so that the national treasury is no longer empty, and the East Turks will no longer worry about running out of money in the future.

There is also the emergence of cement, which can be said to save hundreds of thousands of people in several states in the future.

With all these things, Fang Yuan's position in Li Shimin's heart became more and more important, and he hoped that Fang Yuan could become his humerus minister like Du Ruhui and others in the future.

But at this time, Fang Yuan actually betrayed the official, and his subordinates collected money randomly.

If he did such a deviant thing, how could he bear the heavy responsibility in the future? He simply failed his high hopes for him.

He was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Boss Li, why are you so excited?"

"Come, come, sit down and drink tea, sit down and drink tea."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Greet Li Daye and the others to sit down and drink tea.

The Governor's Mansion also bought a tea set, where Fang Yuan usually drinks tea.

Du Miaoyan has already learned how to fry tea, and often brings the fried tea to Fang Yuan to taste.

"Inspector Fang, the imperial court has a selection system for the imperial court. Are you not afraid of being found out if you openly sell your official position?"

Li Shimin's face is still very long.

He held back his anger, feeling that his liver was throbbing with pain.

But I want to know why Fang Yuan is like this, he is obviously not short of money.

Putting the cart before the horse, openly selling officials, the court does not allow such people to exist.

If the official department found out, or was sued, Fang Yuan would not want to be an official.

"No and no."

"What you see is selling officials, but what others see is that the officials are screening talents for the governance of Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Selling an official is a private statement.

On the bright side, it is to select talents for the states and counties.

Apart from Li Daye's sudden discovery of this matter, only two officials knew about it.

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice with a dark face.

They were all broken, and they still wanted to quibble.

"Look at this."

Fang Yuan handed him a stack of documents.

It was Mr. Sun who came incidentally just now.

"resume?"

Li Shimin was very reluctant to take it, and flipped through it.

Looking at the four big characters at the beginning, he was still puzzled, so he looked down.

【Name: Sun Taihe, age: 26, native place: Pingcheng County, Liaozhou, address: Dongcheng District, Pingcheng County, Liaozhou.】

[Work experience: I have been in charge of the family porcelain business for three years. I have rich management experience, good at overall planning, and make the best use of people and materials. (Please see the attachment for details)]

[Workplace planning: If you can become the county magistrate of Pingcheng County, you will set an example and follow the footsteps of the state government, and strive to promote the economic development of Pingcheng County, so that the people of Pingcheng County can eat enough and wear good clothes! 】

Continue to read, the following is the detailed work experience, it can be seen that this man named Sun Taihe does have some ability.

If he can become the magistrate of Pingcheng County, or if he can really make the people eat and wear good clothes as stated in his workplace plan.

At this time, Li Shimin was no longer so angry, and his mind gradually became clear.

He thinks that personal resume is a good thing.

Clear and clear, you can know the basic information of the other party at a glance.

At the same time, they can clearly know how the other party wants to govern Pingcheng County.

If it can be used well, the court can also consider selecting talents in this way in the future.

But... Fang Yuan is a prostitute!
"This thing is not bad, but you are selling an official!"

Li Shimin said with a sullen face.

He put the document heavily on the coffee table.

"No, no, no."

"Although I am the governor, I have no right to appoint officials."

"The official only has the right to make suggestions at most, and it is nothing more than to provide a few candidates for the Ministry of Officials, not to mention selling an official."

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

The governor has no power to appoint and remove local county magistrates.

For the money given by Sun Taihe, he collected part of it himself and used the other part for management.

Everyone has taken the money, the community of interests, who dares to say that he, the governor, is selling his officials?

"You are changing the concept secretly!"

"Aren't you worried that the people selected in this way will be corrupt and accept bribes, fish and meat people?"

Li Shimin said with a dark face.

The governor has only the right to make suggestions.

But the Ministry of Officials respects the governor's right to make suggestions.

The official department generally agrees with the governor's recommendation.

Therefore Fang Yuan does not have the right to appoint and remove officials, but it is almost the same.

Princess Xiangcheng on the side wanted to laugh, she also felt that Fang Yuan was secretly changing the concept.

But Li Shimin's face was dark all the time, she didn't dare to speak, and kept her head down drinking tea, wanting to pee.

"As long as I'm still in Liaozhou, he won't dare."

"And it is clearly written on the target column of the personal resume that if he acts recklessly, it will be his crime to be held accountable."

Fang Yuan laughed disapprovingly.

"Fang Inspector, the imperial court has a selection system for the imperial court."

"If you behave like this, sooner or later you will fall into a place of eternal doom."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said earnestly.

He has high hopes for Fang Yuan, and he doesn't want Fang Yuan to go astray.

Otherwise, even I would not allow such officials to exist forever.

Because it will form cliques, form cliques, secretly transfer benefits, etc., which is not a good phenomenon.

"Boss Li, don't you think this is better than the court's selection system?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He took his resume and looked at it with satisfaction.

The job-seeking template for later generations, a global common method, is refined and easy to use.

"That's it?!"

Li Shimin was speechless.

The pitch of the voice was also quite high.

At the same time, he also felt insulted.

It's just a personal resume, so the court's talent selection system is not good.

Doesn't this mean that he is not good as an emperor?

"Yes, that's it."

Fang Yuan nodded deeply.

Just when Li Shimin couldn't control his anger, Fang Yuan spoke again.

"Think about it, the imperial court has a system for selecting talents, including imperial examinations, family background and entry."

"The imperial examination is a great invention, but the current imperial court doesn't pay much attention to it, and very few people from all states and counties take part every year."

"Let's not talk about family background and inflow, either rely on parental family relationship, or rely on money to manage, personal character, goals, etc. have no way of knowing."

"You said, this official's personal resume not only knows the other party's work experience, but also knows the other party's goals. It is reasonable, well-founded and has goals. Isn't it better than the imperial court's selection?"

Fang Yuan said loudly.

In fact, the selection of talents by the imperial court at this time is worse than what Fang Yuan said.

For example, an official must be good-looking, and those who are not good-looking will be eliminated directly, even if they are talented.

"Pure nonsense!"

"Menyin and inflow have existed for hundreds of years, and the imperial examination has a history of more than ten years."

"Can you beat them based on your personal resume? Can it stand the test of history?"

Li Shimin mocked.

He scoffed at Fang Yuan's statement.

However, he had to admit that the imperial court did not attach much importance to the imperial examination.

Because it was something invented by the previous dynasty, it was opposed by many ministers and it was not easy to implement it.

And after slowly tasting what Fang Yuan said, it seems that there is some truth, personal experience has its important role.

"We will wait and see whether it can stand the test of history."

"However, the disadvantages of family background and influx have already appeared, and the fact that there are many aristocratic families is the best proof."

Fang Yuan laughed.

"You mean to say that personal resume can reduce the disadvantages of family status and influx?"

Li Shimin immediately calmed down when he heard about the family.

He is ambitious and wants to rule the world and truly take power.

But there are many aristocratic families, and they are big in places, and they are beyond their reach.

Even in the center of the imperial court, all the ministers are from major families.

If you want to really control the place, the policy can't really be issued at all.

This is where he is very distressed, and he has always wanted to solve it, but unfortunately there is no good solution.

Hearing Fang Yuan's words now, it seems to be seeing the dawn, or it can solve the problem of the aristocratic family.

"Of course!"

"Just pay attention to the imperial examination and make good use of your personal resume!"

Fang Yuan took a deep look at Li Daye, and said seriously.

"Please speak clearly!"

Li Shimin also became serious.

Inadvertently straighten your back and listen carefully.

Princess Xiangcheng, who had been drinking tea with her head down, couldn't help being shocked.

Royal father rarely showed such a look, only when he encountered very important things.

Just now he looked half-dead by Fang Yuan's anger, but suddenly he became an open-minded state of listening to the lecture.

Tsk tsk tsk, this Fang Yuan is too shocking, right?
