Chapter 646: If You Want to Be a Pillar of the Grassroots

Chapter 647: If you want to be a pillar, you need to work at the grassroots level (first update)

When your majesty asked about Song De, Yao Chong and the other two were all stunned.

Song De was the manager of Lijia Manor, and they knew that his ability...

Isn't Li Yi in charge of Lijia Manor? What ability does Song De have?

"Your majesty, Song De can do his job as a subordinate, and I think he can be rated as medium-to-high."

Zhang Shuo gave Song De a score, saying that Song De was relatively obedient and OK.

Lu Huaishen thought for a while and said, "Song De is loyal, and I rate him as high."

He gave a good review from the aspect of loyalty.

"Does Li Yi usually not manage the affairs of the manor?" Yao Chong asked speculatively.

Li Longji nodded slightly, which was considered an answer to Yao Chong.

The three prime ministers looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Zhang said, swallowing his saliva: "Song De manages all the affairs of the Li family manor by himself, and he is in an orderly manner. He can be a governor of a state."

He changed his evaluation. Li family manor is not just a farmhouse, but also Zhangjia Village, Huangzhuang farmhouse, and migrant workers' settlement area.

Now there are nearly 12,000 captives, and there is no problem.

Including communication with merchants, cooperation with the Sixteen Guards in the past, and the placement of Yulin Flying Cavalry in the manor.

If Li Yi does not take action, Song De will be in charge alone, then Song De's ability...

"Your Majesty, are the other managers in the manor selected by Li Yi?" Yao Chong wanted to know something.

"Song De selected, Li Yi only selected Song De." Li Longji knew what Yao Chong meant.

"He can be the governor of the Protectorate." Yao Chong gave a higher evaluation.

"He failed the imperial examination four times, and finally had no money, so he had to go to the market to sell himself." Li Longji talked about Song De's previous situation.

Song De had no money, no relatives, no way to seek favors, and no good job.

He simply wanted to sell himself, but Li Yi went to buy someone and hired him to the farm.

He was not a slave, unlike the other four men and four women.

Of course, he could not leave the Li family farm now. If he dared to terminate the employment relationship, he would die if he left the farm.

"Your Majesty, do you want to add an official position outside the officialdom or directly grant an official position?" Yao Chong took a breath to understand what Li Longji meant.

Like the current Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, they occasionally recommend people.

Li Longji had not met many people in person. They were all other princes who took a look at them and arranged an official position if they thought they were good enough, as a staff member.

Those people were officials in Jingzhao Prefecture, and some were in the imperial city.

Don't go to far places, you have to be closer to your majesty.

Lu Huaishen followed up and said, "Every year, the state government sends candidates, and many of those who fail to pass the exam are ashamed to return home. If Your Majesty grants them an official position, I think it's okay."

"This year, the 220 students from Lijiazhuang will be sent to the villages of Jingzhao Prefecture in half a year to assist the village chief. Why not take advantage of the half-year opportunity to select students who have not passed the exam to go to the village first."

When Li Longji said the first sentence, the three prime ministers showed an incredible look in their eyes.

When he said the second sentence, the three shook their heads together.

Zhang said, "If they are under the village chief, I am afraid that the students will not be willing."

Yao Chong and Lu Huaishen nodded together.

The students are so arrogant. They study well in the local area and are sent to Chang'an for the exam. Go to the village?

"Don't want to?" Li Longji snorted coldly: "Humph! If you don't want to, continue to take the exam. If you pass the exam, send it to the village. The students of Lijiazhuang are all top students. They can go, but others can't?"

Li Longji was angry. Dare to be arrogant with me? I will personally send you to the village. Will you go?

If you go, it will be easy. No, even if you pass the exam, I will let you go personally.

"Your Majesty, have the students of Lijiazhuangzi been taught by Li Yi in the manor for half a year as usual?"

Lu Huaishen thought of the 42 students of Lijiazhuangzi in the previous term.

"Yes!" Li Longji gave a positive answer.

"I ask you to compile the knowledge taught by Li Yi into a book." Lu Huaishen asked.

"No." Li Longji refused.

Other books can be taken away by other families, but how can the knowledge taught by Li Yi be learned by the aristocratic families?

If it is really compiled into a book, the big families will teach their children while using various reasons to seal Li Yi's "inappropriate" words.

Lu Huaishen bowed his head, regretful, he wanted to learn.

The current 42 officials, including the top-ranked student in charge of liaison and analysis, are guiding the government affairs of 20 counties together.

Since the former officials of Lantian County reported to the 20 counties, the county magistrates and county magistrates of those counties have been much better to the students of Lijiazhuangzi.

After Li Yi impeached a group of officials in Huazhou Prefecture, the officials in the twenty counties treated the students better.

The students were free to make suggestions in the county.

Last year, the officials in the twenty counties were all rated as top-notch.

Li Yi also wanted to implement it in the villages. If the second batch of students went to the villages.

After a year, it is estimated that the living standards of every family in the twenty counties of Jingzhao Prefecture will be greatly improved.

"See how many candidates are left in Jingzhao Prefecture. Order them to come to Hanyuan Hall in three days, and I will grant them official positions."

Li Longji said to the three people, and then he sat down and took the memorial.

The three people took their leave and prepared to go back to the Political Affairs Hall to make arrangements.

"Li Yi's plan is very good." After walking a distance, Lu Huaishen reacted.

"What's good about it?" Zhang said that he didn't understand.

"As long as the candidates still have ambition and are not short of money, they will definitely not want to return to their hometowns. The Ministry of Personnel sent village officials, and the candidates would feel humiliated."

Lu Huaishen mentioned it, and there was no need to say anything more, the two people understood.

Candidates were afraid of being criticized when they returned, so they stayed in Chang'an if they could.

Village officials were too low-ranking, and the Ministry of Personnel would not arrange for them to go.

If His Majesty arranges it personally, he will have face.

If the candidates can really help the village develop and then slowly get promoted, it is like climbing up from the bottom.

More than a decade later, there will be a large number of powerful officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Some people will be eliminated in the process. How thoroughly should those who stay understand the people's livelihood?

"Something happened, I'm right." Yao Chong came to a conclusion from this incident.

Li Yi didn't move for a long time, and sure enough, a move would be a big deal.

The matter of the ship doesn't count. Now he takes action and directly targets the future official system of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Shuo put his hands behind his back: "Li Yi's plan is far-reaching. He is not suppressing the family. He wants the family to participate together, and each family is trapped little by little."

After speaking, Zhang Shuo shook his head and was sad.

Li Yi is too young. He and others look at the pros and cons of the court affairs.

Even if Yao Chong sets ten strategies, it is just a discussion of things.

And Li Yi's move directly targets the family, this is the root.

When the Tang Dynasty follows Li Yi's arrangement to achieve the goal, there will be no family or big power.

How many people are there in the family? How many people are there in the world?

When capable officials emerge in large numbers, who can influence the imperial power? If they don't obey, they will be killed. If they are replaced, they will be powerful officials.

The three returned to the political hall and passed the order down. A group of people began to post notices and ran to 20 counties to post notices together.

Some candidates who did not pass the exam had high living expenses in Chang'an, so they had to go to the nearby county school to teach their children and prepare to take the exam again next year.

"Today I will tell you about the specific implementation of the duties of the village organization. The correctness of a village cannot only seek coordination and stability, but the more important thing is guidance..."

In the Li family manor, 220 officials sat in a large classroom and listened to Li Yi's lecture.

Li Yi asked them to go to the village and tell them how to do it, otherwise they would be in the dark.
