But as far as the current situation is concerned, whether to kill Li Yifu or not is actually secondary, and the purpose is only to calm public anger. It does not help the country and the people. In such a large country, it cannot hope to search the house. This crisis has left many problems that have not been resolved.

Debt issues, personnel issues, local issues, etc.

These are all endangering the country and the country, and are the most urgent task, so we must find a way to solve it immediately.

Soon, Li Zhi held a meeting. This meeting was not a meeting, but it was not a meeting. Li Zhi summoned some important and talented ministers in the court to the Tai Chi Hall, specifically discussing how the country should go next, and letting Li Hong listen to it. This is a very rare opportunity to learn.

This is also a very, very important meeting, which directly determines the future of the world's largest empire.

Li Zhi said straight to the point: "Although the crisis has been temporarily alleviated, it has not yet passed completely. The treasury is still carrying tens of millions of debts. There are still many people in various prefectures and counties who have no place to live and are displaced. If they are not handled carefully, I am afraid that the crisis will come back. I wonder what countermeasures you have?"

An old man in his sixties said, "Report to Your Majesty, it is the time to hire people in the court. Not long ago, the Minister of State ordered hastily dismissed thousands of officials. Although it was forced by the situation at that time, the situation has been controlled. The old minister suggested that this matter should be handled as appropriate, and some useful talents should be recalled to the court, or transferred to local prefectures and counties. Only in this way can more talented people assist Your Majesty and govern the country well."

This person was named Zhang Wenguan. He was originally a member of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. He also had another identity, which was the minister of the Eastern Palace and was Li Hong's teacher. Li Zhi promoted him to the Minister of Rites, which also indirectly increased the status of the Eastern Palace. Zhang Wenguan was also a Jinshi. Of course, he knew that some people finally entered the officialdom, and it would be a bit unfair to dismiss others like this.

This is a good idea.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I wonder if Shangshu Zhang believes that any official in the court is incompetent?"

Zhang Wenguan said: "I don't mean this, but I think that the court is employed at this time and should not dismiss so many people."

Han Yi said: "Shangshu Zhang only knows one thing, not the other. Now the court is indeed at the time of employing people, but the court still has tens of millions of yuan in debt. One more official will have more burdens. Officials cannot directly generate benefits, which means that the people must pay more taxes. I know you have a pity for talent, but there are more than a few thousand talents in the world. Should the court summon all the court to the court? This is more like giving alms, humiliating talented people in the world, and the court itself should do what it can.

I don’t know why Zhang Shangshu still remembers why during the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong wanted to streamline officials, not because those officials were all idiots, but because there were many people, and the government orders were not understood. It can be seen that the court should not only not summon those people to the court again, but should strictly follow the official position and should not be given any more easily. If the official position is easily granted, it would be a change to increase the burden on the people and the country. Even if it is not good to govern itself, it would be a matter of talking about governing the country."

Zhang Wenguan said: "Although the Shangshu Ling said it is reasonable, the imperial examination only opens an imperial examination every three years. Those scholars studied hard for more than ten years, and it is not easy to pass the imperial examination before they passed the imperial examination, but the imperial examination was not allowed. Over time, everyone will not come to participate in the imperial examination. How can the imperial examination continue?

Han Yi nodded and said, "Shangshu Zhang's words are reasonable, which is something I have been thinking about recently. The purpose of the imperial examination is to improve the employment system so that talented people in the world can enter the court as officials, assist the monarch, and govern the country. The fairness is obviously greater than that of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system. But the problem is that at present, the talents in China are far higher than the needs of the court. If they are summoned to the court, there will be redundant officials, which will lead to redundant expenses. This is another harm to the country. The court is doing things that harm the country based on the concept of governing the country well. So is talent or the country important?"

This is of course the country is important.

Zhang Wenguan avoided the important and said lightly: "Is Shangshu Ling going to abolish the imperial examination?"

He also asked many people about their thoughts, Cui Jieren, Wang Xuandao and others all showed confusion.

Li Shimin said that he would use the imperial examination to put all the talented people in the world into the trap, so that those talented people would not rebel. This is a matter of standing and speaking without a headache. A wise ruler also has some bad habits that can open his mouth. Can you afford the talented people in the world?

They do not produce food, but they eat food. Nine out of ten sheep will definitely lead to bankruptcy. There is no need to doubt that this is not a problem that always wool comes from the sheep, but that you can't satisfy after you pick up the wool. Then the next step is of course to eat mutton.

But if the imperial examination is not used, how can the court continue?

This is also a very important issue.

Han Yi said: "Everyone is a scholar. I don't know if you think the word nerd is a positive or negative meaning."

"Of course it's a derogatory meaning."

Li Hong said subconsciously, but after he finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhi nervously again.

Li Zhi nodded with a smile and gave encouragement. Of course, this student is qualified to speak.

"The prince said it well."

Han Yi said: "The only way to pass the imperial examination is to study hard, so many nerds have led to the emergence of them. The only thing they can do is study. Such people are useless. A truly talented person will not starve to death even if he is not an official, because he is smart, so he can also succeed in other aspects. For example, Zheng Shilang, who is full of knowledge, but he has achieved great success in the business world, which has a lot to do with his study since he was a child."

Li Zhi said: "If you want to do business, you will be more successful."

Han Yi immediately said: "I have never read any books. If I fail to do business, why should I stand here? But what Your Majesty said is, I can also prove this. A true genius, even if he does not pass the imperial examination, will have a way to become an official."

Everyone despised Han Yi, but no one refuted it. People were wearing purple robes when they were doing business. Isn’t he just slapping himself in the face?

Li Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever you want to say is just to say it, don't beat around the bush."

"I obey the order."

Han Yi also said: "The suggestion of the Wei minister is to regard the imperial examination as a touchstone. Those who can pass the imperial examination must be talented and well-educated, but they may not necessarily call them to be summoned to the court immediately. They can first go to the folk to experience it. Whether you are a businessman or a doctor, you can also issue a document to them as a symbol of honor and a talent symbol. When the court needs people, they will select talents from these people to become officials. And their actions during this period will also be included in an important factor in the court's assessment.

First of all, this can better show a person's character, morality, and true ability. If a person who cannot even support himself, I can tell the people how to support him without trusting him. Secondly, when the Jinshi was trained among the people, he could deeply understand the needs of the people and clearly know what difficulties and contradictions the country faced. After he entered the officialdom, he knew what he should do and what he should not do, instead of talking about war on paper in the court and wasting the court's money and food.

Finally, it can also meet the needs of other industries for talents. In fact, talents are needed in all walks of life. Talents can promote the progress of the industry and enable the country to develop in an all-round way. If talents are concentrated in the court and there are no talents in other places, this is a kind of abnormal development, which will cause imbalances in all aspects, which is not beneficial to the court. More rain will turn into floods, less rain will turn into droughts. That's the truth. God's will cannot be violated, but people can be adapted."

Li Zhi, Li Hong and Li Ji all nodded slightly.

Di Renjie suddenly said: "But the redundant officials are not all the faults of the imperial examination. The children of the gentry used the system of imperial examinations to enter the officialdom, but they were better than the imperial examinations. Moreover, those who could pass the imperial examinations were at least genuine talent and knowledge. There were many people in the gentry who had no talent and no virtue just entered the officialdom by relying on their ancestors. If you want to say it is unfair, this is even more unfair. I wonder what Shangshu Ling thinks?"

The imperial examination is beneficial to the common people, and the dispute between scholars and common people has not been completely resolved. Of course, officials such as Di Renjie, who came from the common people, were unhappy when they heard that Han Yi had pushed all the responsibilities to the imperial examination.

Before Han Yi could speak, Cui Jieren smiled coldly and said proudly: "Our Qinghe Cui family has produced many talents for hundreds of years. How can you deny it with just one word? I, Cui Jieren, don't care about this Yinfeng system."

Li Zhi glanced at Cui Jieren and said to himself, this guy hasn't changed at all, you, Cui, are the most powerful.

But Cui Jieren is indeed qualified to say this because he was a child. He was so young and had been a Jinshi for more than ten years, so he should be ranked in the ranking.

Lu Shigua said: "I think Di Shaoqing's words are reasonable. Although Lu came from the Lu family of Fanyang, he was also very dissatisfied with this. Not everyone in our family relies on Yinxian to enter the officialdom. Many of us entered the officialdom through the imperial examination, but we have to bear the burden of ancestors. I have always believed that leaving shade for future generations is to keep disaster. Therefore, I think the Yinxian system should be abolished and the court should treat everyone equally."

"No, no."

An old man glared at Lu Shigua invisibly and said, "Yinfeng is a reward for the heroes. If you do this, it may cause dissatisfaction among the heroes and the Shilin."

This person's surname is Cui and his name is Cui Yan. He was born in the Cui family of Boling and was a Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan.

Wang Xuandao said: "In fact, whether it is a hero or aristocratic family, they have enjoyed all their wealth and glory, which is much better than ordinary people. On the contrary, if the long term continues, the children of aristocratic family will be addicted to pleasure, which will lead to the decline of the gentry. The decline of many aristocratic family over the years has a great relationship with the Yinfeng system. If the gentry has contributed to the country from generation to generation and become famous, the gentry will naturally stand firm. On the contrary, even if the Yinfeng system is in the future, the gentry will sooner or later fall."

Cui Yan was furious. You juniors dared to challenge me. What is the etiquette? But in Tai Chi Hall, he didn't dare to be arrogant. He immediately snorted: "If you were not from a famous family, how could you sit here?"

Lu Shigua confronted him and said, "The reason why I sit here is closely related to the family education. Without the family training, I will never be able to sit here. This younger generation dare not deny it, but I dare to ask Uncle Cui, what is the responsibility of my younger generation sitting here now?"

Cui Yan trembled, but couldn't speak.

What was he fighting for? He was protecting the rights and interests of the gentry, but could he say that letting the Lu Shi Gua sit here to protect the rights and interests of the gentry?

What's more important is that Cui Jieren and Lu Shigua are like him, both of whom were from the best-in-class gentry in the world, and they didn't know how to speak up when they argued with them.

Di Renjie and the others were all confused, why did the gentry quarrels themselves start to quarrel?

Li Zhi also sounds interesting. This is very different from before. Han Yi is of course a commoner. In fact, it is not even a commoner. However, he wants to reorganize the imperial examination, which is equivalent to reducing the rights and interests of the commoner. Lu Shigua and others are from a gentry, but they want to reduce the rights and interests of the gentry. The situation is really a bit messy.

It can be seen that they are all thinking about the country, not their own rights and interests.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with this team, at least for the moment. But they didn't say the point, sighed and said, "If the imperial examination is to be restructured, it will be cold to the hearts of all the scholars in the world. If the Yin-Prince system is abolished, it will be cold to the hearts of heroes. I cannot do this!"

Han Yi said in surprise: "It turns out that you still have money hidden by your majesty. That's great."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said furiously: "What are you talking about? My inner palace has been emptied. Don't you know?"

My eyes are almost popping out. Now anyone who talks about money is hurting their feelings because everyone has no money.

Han Yi said: "What a coincidence, the national treasury has been emptied. Not only has it been emptied, but it is also heavily in debt. I wonder where I should find money to send it to my eldest son?"

After the Shangshu Ling, I was just kidding, so I must become an official now!

Li Zhi looked at Han Yi with an awkward look on his face.

Han Yi looked at Li Zhi with anticipation.

It’s useless to say so much. It’s all just a waste of time and is still fighting for property. Isn’t it funny?

Li Ji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, where will you attach to this skin without hair? Now the country is in debt. If the country is destroyed, what else can we talk about the system of shackles? Since the country can no longer afford it, then abolish it."

As soon as these words were spoken, many ministers showed dissatisfaction.

Li Ji was not making any noise. He just felt guilty last time, so he wanted to support Han Yi.

Han Yi's eyes turned and suddenly said, "Otherwise, this title can be passed on to the eldest son as a compliment to the heroes. However, one thing is that only those who have made great contributions to the country are qualified to pass on the title to the eldest son. As for the treatment, there will be no more. Anyway, the court will not take back the land that rewards the heroes, and it can still be passed on to the next generation. No matter how many, the court cannot take it out. It is better to seek truth from facts than to cover up the bell."

Li Ji, Gao Kan and other ministers nodded in agreement. The merits of military generals are easier to calculate than civil officials. Expanding territory is credit, and the merits of civil officials are not easy to calculate.

If the other ministers knew that they could not challenge Han Yi anymore. If they wanted to challenge Han Yi, Han Yi would definitely say, since you are so capable, I can't afford to take care of the finances.

Now that the treasury owes so much money, smart people will not take over this mess. If they don’t play well, they will definitely be criticized by thousands of people.

Li Zhi nodded reluctantly. If you said this earlier, there would be no need to argue. Who doesn’t know the great principles, but know they are not good, but they still do so. That is forced, and then they can only be abolished with even more forced reasons.

The best reason,
