Chapter 224 The new governor of Yizhou
(Peng Family Second Master, woohtu, ∑==heart=→Your monthly ticket, ryan on the other side of the storm, a reward of fifty-one stones.)
Li Yan's aggressive method was successful. After Cui Yingying returned to the royal palace, she went to find the Zheng sisters and began to prepare for the women's college. After Su Mo'er received the news, she was also very interested and joined a small group. Cui Yingying's confidence suddenly rose sharply, while Li Yan just hid behind and had fun.
While a few girls were struggling, the examination of Yizhou Government Affairs College was also over. Now the students were very nervous and were anxiously waiting for the results to come out. They heard that the results will be announced this time, and that the positions everyone was assigned to are public. The Shengtang Business Daily will also be published, which makes them even more nervous. This means that success will shine and shame will be thrown home.
"Your Highness, your move is so cruel." Shangguan Yi kept smirking in the office of the President of the Government Affairs College.
Li Yan said: "This is also for publicity. Otherwise, who would have known that the examinations of the government affairs college are fair and just, and who would have known that these poor students have really entered the government affairs system."
"Your Highness said it well. If you don't get well in the exam, you deserve to be embarrassed. You are exempt from food, clothing, housing and transportation in the college. If you don't study hard, you won't let them be embarrassed. Who will be embarrassed?" Wang Yinlong took a stack of test papers at this time and said from outside the door that the requirements for these students have always been very strict. In his opinion, Li Yan gave them the opportunity to become successful, and they didn't cherish it. That was to be sorry to Li Yan and the opportunity he had won.
Li Yan looked at the test papers in Wang Yinlong's hand and said, "Have all been corrected?"
"All of them have been corrected, a total of 1,321 students passed the exam, and 267 failed the exam." Wang Yinlong felt everything when he said this number, which shows that these students worked hard to learn their knowledge during this period and did not waste the opportunity given to them.
"So many!" Li Yan was also surprised. The admission rate was too high. The score line he ordered was very high, and these students had only studied in the academy for seven or eight months.
Dou Xiandedao: "Your Highness. I have to say that these students are very hard-working in their studies."
Li Yan nodded. Because of the lack of entertainment, these students had almost nothing to do every day, and they were all reading and studying. It was not surprising that they achieved such results.
"Very good!" Li Yan stood up excitedly, "We in Bashu can add more than a thousand talents at once, and with these talents, all advanced management systems can be implemented, and the next step is the interview stage. You cannot relax. Some students may pass the grades, but they can't study hard, and such people cannot be hired. New knowledge needs to be learned and applied in combination with reality, rather than blindly enforcing it. In addition, students must carefully select their character and character. Although they must always be required, they also need to control them with considerable moral character. Talent but not virtue is a villain. Virtue but not talent is mediocre. Virtue and talent are our criteria for selection, and we will not do what is done."
The three of them agreed with Li Yan's recruitment method. Shangguan Yi said: "Don't worry, when hiring these students, they are required to provide filial piety and integrity certificates issued by the local government. People who are not loyal and filial are not within our consideration."
"Well. The government affairs system is related to the rise and fall of the country, and it cannot be a joke. Remember, no matter how other industries select talents, morality is the most important in the government affairs system. I would rather use mediocre people with virtue but not talent to defend the country than use villains with talent but not virtue to disrupt the world. In the education of the government affairs college, the word "virtue should be equally emphasized. Heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. The earth is quiet, and a gentleman carries things with virtue. How can a gentleman carry things without virtue?" Li Yan sighed when he remembered the chaos in modern times.
"Yes, Your Highness!" the three of them said in unison.
Li Yan put forward the approximate interview criteria and said at this time: "Where is Guan Sixing's test paper?"
Wang Yinlong immediately took out the first test paper and handed it to Li Yan, saying, "He got the first place in the big comprehensive exam."
Li Yan took the test paper and reviewed it. Guan Sixing's basic knowledge was correct. None of them deducted points, only a few points were deducted for case analysis of water conservancy projects.
"It's really rare." The exam papers of the Government Affairs College are not modern test papers that can be completed in two hours, but the amount that can be completed in two days. Therefore, during the exam, the students eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep in that small house, and they can't go anywhere. At first, Li Yan wanted to use modern test methods, but they were denied by three people at the same time because they believed that test papers with too little knowledge were prone to opportunism, so they still used old methods, and the test papers included a lot of knowledge, which was fairer.
Li Yan finished a test paper for a long time before finishing it. He was very ashamed. In fact, Li Yan couldn't answer many of the above knowledge, but who made him the leader? He just needed to be able to appoint talents, and there was no need to know everything.
While Li Yan was flipping through the test paper, Shangguan Yi and the other two were communicating with each other with their eyes, looking at Li Yan from time to time, as if they wanted someone to say something to Li Yan. After communicating for a while, Dou Xiande was defeated and said carefully: "Your Highness, I have something to ask your Highness."
"What's the matter?" Li Yan said without raising his head.
"Weichen heard that the princess is now preparing to build a women's university..."
Li Yan raised his head and glanced at the three of them, thinking that the three of them had any different opinions, or were opposed to the idea that the woman had no talent, which was virtue. "Yes, the princess is planning to build a women's university. Do you have different opinions?"
Dou Xiande opened up the topic, and Shangguan Yi and Wang Yinlong also let go. Shangguan Yi said: "Since the school run by the princess is called Yizhou Women's University, we should change our name to Yizhou Government Affairs College, right? Many students think that the suffix of the college is not as good as that of the university, and it is invisibly lower."
Wang Yinlong echoed: "Yes, since ancient times, men are superior to women, how can our government affairs college be inferior to each other!"
Li Yan smiled. The few people were originally concerned about the title. He smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Just change Yizhou Government Affairs College to Yizhou Government Affairs University, and send someone to re-order a plaque. The same is true for the Military Academy. Change it to Yizhou Military University. How about it?"
"So good!" "So good"... the three of them got what they wanted and said one after another.
Shaking his head, the ancients really regarded reputation as life. Li Yan said again: "When it comes to women's college, do you have any ideas? You might as well say it."
Although the Women's University was sponsored by Cui Yingying, it must have been instructed by Li Yan. The three of them were in a slight heart and pondered for a while. Shangguan Yi said, "I have also discussed this Women's University, and I have neither objected nor supported it. After all, there are many female officials in the palace. They are all well-read poetry and books, not inferior to men." Shangguan Yi has been in Chang'an, and naturally has seen it.
Wang Yinlong and Dou Xiande remained silent and did not object to women's university. Li Yan was relieved when he heard this. If men opposed it, this women's university might have to be ruined. However, the reason why Li Yan thought of establishing a women's university was also considering the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty, because in history, the Tang Dynasty was the closest dynasty to the status of women and men. The real male superiority and inferiority occurred when the establishment of Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty, and then the status of women was completely bound.
"I feel relieved in this way, and I'm worried that you will object. By the way, call Guan Sixing and I'll interview him in person." Opening this page, Li Yan turned to the topic.
"Yes, Your Highness." The three of them left the principal's office after hearing this. After the exam, these students remained in the academy to study, which can be said to be on call.
Shortly after the three left, a man wearing a blue round-necked shirt and stinging the words of the Government Affairs College on his chest walked in.
Li Yan had only met Guan Sixing a few times before, but now he has officially looked at him. He was seven feet tall, with a straight face, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and pretty handsome.
Seeing Li Yan, Guan Sixing was obviously a little nervous, and spoke with a tremolo, saying, "Guan Sixing, see Your Highness!"
"No gift, sit down!" Li Yan signaled the chair.
Guan Sixing sat down as he said, waiting for Li Yan to ask questions. After all, this is an interview.
"Introduce yourself." Li Yan planned to test Guan Sixing's language expression skills first.
Guan Sixing put away his nervous mood. Thinking of the hardship he endured on this day, he mustered up the courage and said, "Someone, Guan Sixing, a native of Mianzhou, has the only son in his family, and only an old father. He was in charge of school at the age of six..." As time passed, Guan Sixing became more and more smooth and smoother, and later he was even a little excited, "...If he could get a job, Guan Sixing would be dedicated to serving His Highness, and he would never change his life."
Li Yan nodded with satisfaction. After passing the first level, Li Yan tested some other questions. Guan Sixing answered them smoothly. Li Yan finally asked: "You answered Yizhou's agricultural and business questions on the test paper. I will ask you how you can accelerate the development of Yizhou's business while avoiding the expansion of business people's power."
"I think the first thing to do is to control some key industries in the hands of the government, such as salt, minerals, shipbuilding, steel, weapons and other industries that are huge profits, which are crucial to the development of Yizhou. In this way, the emergence of wealthy businessmen will be avoided. For other businessmen, they should also enforce their behavior and formulate special laws to limit the speculative behavior of merchants."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Continue."
"The other is the issue of controlling taxes. Business is an industry with great profits. If this trend continues, then commercial tax will surpass agricultural taxes and become the main source of government taxes. Avoiding businessmen's tax evasion and tax evasion will become an important issue at present. Therefore, I think the function of the Municipal Yisi should be strengthened, while in agriculture, it is necessary to further reduce farmers' taxes and corvee services, and increase the people's production enthusiasm, so that the two can be balanced."
"Yes, you understand it very thoroughly." Li Yan praised, "And Shangguan Yi and others are very satisfied with you. They all recommend you to be the governor of Yizhou. Do you have the confidence to take it?"
