"We need to seek his opinion on this recruitment. Don't force him back. If his heart isn't there, it's useless even if he comes!”
Liu Bian not only wanted people, but also his heart!
"As you wish!"
Liu Bian continued," This time, the recruits are spread across the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty, all over the world. The scope is extremely wide. In addition to recruiting talents to enter the capital for the test, the Brocade Guard also needs to spread out their spy network to gather information and understand the sufferings of the people. They will present every detail.
"If the Embroidered Uniform Guards do not have enough manpower, you can transfer them from the East and West Factories, or select loyal soldiers from the army to join, or recruit talents from all over the world!”
After Liu Bian took control of Luoyang, he had to set up a network to investigate the movements of the dukes.
Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the military power was reduced, and then Shi Mu was abolished, causing the warlords to split up and not be controlled by the imperial court. Liu Bian had to take it back. Only by concentrating the power in the middle could he stabilize the country!
If those dukes knew what was good for them and obediently handed over their military power, they could still maintain their glory and wealth. If those vassals were disloyal and wanted to stand on their own, then don't blame Liu Bian for being cruel!
The Snow Dragon Cavalry would definitely sweep the world!
And these Jinyiwei intelligence agencies could contribute to the future unification of the world by collecting intelligence, investigating the enemy's situation, ambushing spies, and so on!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! We will definitely not disappoint you and recruit talents from all over the world to enter the capital for the examination! I will definitely create an intelligence agency for His Majesty to monitor the world!”
Shen Lian was overjoyed! The Brocade Guard lacked manpower the most now, but His Majesty had given special permission, and the imperial power had given special permission!
East Branch Supervisor Cao Zhengchun and West Branch Duke Yu Huatian were extremely envious. However, they were all smart people. Their expressions did not change. They did not have any dissatisfaction, nor did they dare to have any dissatisfaction!
Liu Bian nodded, his voice resounding in the court.
"Prepare a decree. I want to recruit all the skilled craftsmen in the world, invent and create geniuses, and establish the Academy of Sciences! The position of this academy is the same as that of Jiuqing, the president of the Academy of Sciences, and the rank of 2,000 stones is the same as that of Jiuqing!”
Whoosh--
The entire court was shocked!
The ministers were in disbelief!
The classes of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen had started since the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.
All things are inferior, only reading is superior!
This was the pride of scholars, and also the basic quality of maintaining the orthodox position of the imperial power and ruling the country. This also allowed the scholar-bureaucrats to be above the masses!
The land of China was an agricultural civilization, which led to the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce in every dynasty.
To the commoners, the fields were their lives! For a country, food was also an extremely important cornerstone of the empire!
The meaning that Liu Bian was revealing now was that he wanted to vigorously develop the " craftsman " industry?!
Nowadays, the Great Han Dynasty did not despise craftsmen as much as they did in the later generations. For example, Zhuge Liang had invented important weapons such as the Wood Stream Cow Horse and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. Liu Ye invented the Thunderbolt Car and so on. He was an inventor.
But now, His Majesty was saying that he was going to promote the "craftsmen" to the same level as the scholar-bureaucrats?!
This made many of the civil officials of the orthodox scholarly faction feel a bit uncomfortable. However, when they recalled the massacre of the Western Liang army by the Snow Dragon Knights, they tactfully shut up!
Whatever His Majesty says, it will be!
"We will obey!"
All the officials spoke in unison. Many of them were unwilling, but Liu Bian didn't care.
For many scholars, the inventions of skilled craftsmen were actually just fancy skills.
However, the Eastern Han didn't have such deep thinking. Otherwise, they wouldn't have modified those military siege weapons.
However, if he wanted to enter the " industrial age," he had to have this " industrial " mindset and develop step by step with the concept of science.
The officials did not understand that the Academy of Science that Liu Bian was talking about did not only need skilled craftsmen, but also skilled craftsmen who were skilled in both literature and martial arts. For example, Zhuge Liang and Liu Ye.
The establishment of the Academy of Science was also imperative. This could build a cornerstone for the long-term development of the Great Han Dynasty! To build a national defense wall for the continuation of the Great Han Dynasty and the inheritance of China!
"Prepare the decree! Other than the talents recommended by the beloved ministers, the scholars of the world could also go to the capital for reference. I will hold an imperial examination in June next year. Those with outstanding results will be able to serve as officials!”
Liu Bian thought about it for a moment. Considering that there were still many talents from poor families, there was no possibility of recommending people to be buried in the countryside. He decided to try the imperial examination.
Considering the current turmoil in the world, they could only enter the capital to rush for the exam. The time was extended to next year, so there was enough time to travel.
Whoosh--
The ministers were shocked again!
Just now, even if they were to recommend talents, they still had to go through His Majesty's open-book test. But it was at least one of the inspection systems!
But what was His Majesty doing now?!
Directly let the scholars of the world enter the capital to take the examination? No need for recommendations? Wasn't this removing the greatest power of the gentry?!
How could the Yuan family have students and old officials all over the world? It was because of the historical background of the four generations and three dukes that they had recommended or relied on many talents!
This was because if one wanted to become an official, they had to be recommended by an extremely famous scholar or official. And these were all controlled by the great clans!
The smart Jia Xu was still a small official in the countryside at the age of forty because he had no way to display his talent. If he did not rely on the aristocratic families to recommend filial piety and honesty, he would never be able to become a high official in his life.
Now, His Majesty was destroying the foundation of the aristocratic families!
If the entire court was still around, they would definitely be impeached and remonstrated. But now that the Yuan and Yang families were dead, the officials present did not have the courage to object.
After all, the bodies of the Western Liang soldiers in the northern suburbs were still warm, and the blood that dyed the ground red had yet to solidify!
Forget it, forget it! Whatever His Majesty says!
"We will obey!"
Once, the imperial court was filled with civil and military officials, and the aristocratic families had become Liu Bian's one-word rule!
"Do you have anything else to report?" asked Liu Bian with a solemn expression.”
Xun Yu stepped forward and asked,"Your Majesty, please allow me to report!" May I ask how to formulate the open-book test and martial arts competition test that Your Majesty mentioned? Who was responsible for writing the content of the exam? Is there a general outline?"
"The open-book test was personally written by me! General Zhuge was in charge of the martial arts competition!”Liu Bian said in a shocking tone.
However, he did have the right to do so. In his previous life, he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination with full marks and rejected Qingbei's invitation to enter the National Defense University for further study. Later on, he joined the army and was considered a high-tech officer.
All the officials were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief!
They had no doubt about Zhuge Zhengwo's ability to test his skills.
However, regarding the Emperor's ability to write exam papers…many officials hesitated. They doubted Liu Bian's ability to further his studies in literature.
However, in the end, he still tactfully shut up. He could only sigh that they were responsible for checking when writing, so as not to cause the scholars to laugh at him!
"We understand!" Xun Yu retreated helplessly.
