If you cannot recognize more than a dozen people, even if you can recognize more than a dozen people, even if you can assign officials to each according to his ability, the scholars may be dissatisfied."

Hearing this, Jian Yong frowned and said, "Young military advisor, please don't say this. Everyone here is a talented person, and they will never be so narrow-minded."

When Li Mengxi heard this, he smiled brightly. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Jian Yong, "Oh? So, Mr. Jian Yong is very familiar with Zhuozhou scholars?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Bei and said with a smile, "Why does Mr. Xuande need someone to give advice? Mr. Jian Yong is someone who knows people! Isn't it right to leave everyone's arrangements to Mr. Jian Yong?"

Li Mengxi asked Jian Yong one sentence at a time, and Jian Yong couldn't help but reply, "You can just call me Gongyou if you call me Gongyou."

"Oh! Mr. Gongyou," Li Mengxi said with a slight smile on his face, "In your opinion, what duties should everyone in Zhuozhou have?"

Jian Yong is not stupid. How can he handle the matter of allocating official positions? So Jian Yong refused, "Hey, this matter should be done by Duke Xuande. How can I intervene?"

The matter was once again blamed on Liu Bei.

Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei with his eyes, Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi with his eyes, and Guan Yu also looked at Li Mengxi with his eyes.

As for Li Mengxi, with a smile on his face and a calm look on his face, he put his fingers on the table and played it gently.

Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi for a long time, and Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei for a long time without evading.

Having known each other for a long time, Liu Bei was very familiar with Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi repeatedly refused and made sarcastic remarks, which made Liu Bei feel that Li Mengxi seemed to have objections to the appointment of Zhuozhou scholars.

But, shouldn’t it? Talented people come to invest, promote and reuse them, why not?

Liu Bei couldn't figure it out.

Liu Bei frowned, stared at Li Mengxi, and said seriously, "Xi'er, if you don't use people who come to help you, wouldn't you be scorning the talent and blocking the path of virtuous people? Do you think I should use people?"

In response to Liu Bei's slightly questioning gaze, Li Mengxi sighed. He looked into Liu Bei's eyes and said slowly, "I still remember last year when a certain old Yellow Turban general, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others were promoted. At that time, Duke Xuande persuaded me.

Before the meritorious officers in the army were promoted, they promoted the Yellow Turbans to surrender. Wouldn't this move chill the hearts of all the officers and soldiers?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, a certain person thought deeply, and it was indeed the case. Merits and official positions are awarded and promoted when everyone is convinced, and they are not promoted based on merit. This is uncontrolled.

It would be unfair to the officers and soldiers if they did not follow the rules and regulations. Therefore, it was discussed at that time that in the future, regardless of surrendering troops or surrendering, those who come should be integrated with the army. Whether they are punished or not, there should be no differences or differences. "

Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei seriously, "I was deeply impressed by what Xuande Gong said at that time. How come, today, Xuande Gong has forgotten what he said before? Do you want to make the same mistake again?"

Liu Bei suddenly understood. He opened his mouth and defended, "...This, this is different. The Yellow Turbans are surrendering troops, while the Zhuozhou scholars are surrendering..."

Li Mengxi sneered, "What's the difference?"

Liu Bei hesitated and said, "Scholars, scholars are scholars...how can scholars be compared with thieves and soldiers?"

Li Mengxi raised his head and laughed, laughing so hard that he shook his head repeatedly. After laughing, Li Mengxi stared at Liu Bei, "A scholar? Indeed, if you are illiterate, you can't write, you can't remember. Many important tasks must be done by scholars."

There are very few people who are literate, so there is nothing wrong with taking a good look at it. But!”

Li Mengxi suddenly changed his tone, his eyes narrowed, and his tone became more severe. He scolded, "If we want to promote and reuse scholars, there are hundreds of scholars in our army. Everyone in the Junzi Camp teaches naughty boys every day. This is not true."

Merit also comes with hard work, right? When it comes to promotion, you should promote Junzi Ying first! Why, when people from Zhuozhou come, they have not done anything or made any achievements, so they must be promoted first? What is the truth? Where is justice?

"

Liu Bei had a complicated look on his face. The aggrieved Liu Bei could not refute Li Mengxi's words, but he still felt that it was unjustifiable not to give an official position to a native of Zhuozhou. After a while, Liu Bei whispered in a low voice, "If that were not the case, the gentleman's camp would be like a yellow turban..."

"Huang Miao!" Li Mengxi clapped his hands and scolded in a cold voice, "Don't forget, Mr. Xuande, that when you raised the army in Zhuozhou, there were only five hundred local braves, but now you have hundreds of thousands of people and a huge army of ten thousand.

They are all Yellow Turbans! The foundation of our army is Yellow Turbans, why should we separate them inside and outside?"

Liu Bei's extremely politically incorrect words made Li Mengxi unhappy. He glared at Liu Bei with anger on his face.

Li Mengxi dared to reprimand Liu Bei, and it was like reprimanding Liu Bei. When Jian Yong saw this, he was extremely surprised. It can be seen that Liu Bei drooped his head and was not angry. Looking down, Guan Yu looked calm and did not take it seriously. Jian Yong was surprised.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting unpleasant, Jian Yong's thoughts were racing. He came out to smooth things over. Jian Yong said with a smile, "Although there is no need to distinguish between inside and outside, the Zhuozhou scholars who came this time are all famous people in Zhuozhou, so why not

Can he be compared with ordinary people? Isn't it impossible to promote scholars in Zhuozhou?

Li Mengxi withdrew his gaze, looked at Jian Yong, and grinned, "Zhuozhou is famous for its people? Oh, how can a county in Zhuozhou compare to a county in Julu in terms of talent?"

If the fifteen people in Zhuozhou are all talented people who can be selected from a thousand miles, then I, the Junziying people, can be selected from a thousand miles for the whole county of Julu.

Mr. Gongyou, how can you underestimate my gentleman camp?"

Jian Yong was scolded and was speechless. Jian Yong, who was eloquent, opened his mouth several times and could not speak.

Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei lowered his head and said nothing. He just promoted a scholar from Zhuozhou to an official position. Liu Bei couldn't do such a small thing? He had to listen to a kid? Jian Yong was depressed, simply rolled his sleeves and sighed.

I closed my mouth and didn't intend to say a word.

The atmosphere became silent and everything was quiet.

After a long time, Liu Bei gave a wry smile and sighed, "Hey, Xi'er, what do you think we should do? I always feel that it's not a big deal if someone comes from afar and is not given an official title."

Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei calmly and said, "If so-and-so says, whether it's so-and-so, Duke Xuande, or even Gongyou and General Guan, let's first talk about whether you have the ability to recognize people. Even if you have the ability to recognize people,

I can't recognize tens of people, dozens of people, but hundreds of people.

Furthermore, even if we are able to recognize the strengths of everyone, even if we assign officials based on their strengths, and even if we appoint people fairly, many people will be dissatisfied.

Why, those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. However, in the world, there are only a few wise ones and those who are unwise and unclear are the majority."

"Gong Xuande asked me what should be done. Among them, it is difficult to know people, and it is difficult to use people. The method of appointing people to make everyone convinced is even more difficult. It is difficult to use Zhuozhou scholars, because it is unfair to all the people in Junzi camp. It is difficult, not to use Zhuozhou.

Scholars, it is difficult to come here in a hurry. It is difficult for both sides to use it. At this time, everything in our army has begun, and there are many vacant official positions. It is easy to appoint an official, but what about the future? When one person comes, he must be appointed an official.

One day, it will be necessary to appoint an official. How can this method last long? This is also difficult. "

Li Mengxi analyzed various difficulties, and Liu Bei frowned and frowned.

Looking at Jian Yong, Jian Yong's face softened slightly.

Afterwards, Li Mengxi looked at the frowning Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and said quietly, "Mr.

Do you still remember?"

"Imperial examination..." Liu Bei murmured, "What is this imperial examination...what does it mean?"

Liu Bei was confused.

When Li Mengxi saw Liu Bei's confused eyes, he immediately said to himself, Japan, you have forgotten about it, haven't you?

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Mengxi said, "The so-called imperial examination is a method of testing people."

"What is the purpose of recruiting people by trial? If you want to recruit talents, for example, if you want to recruit judicial talents, you will put judicial questions in the book and let everyone answer them. Then, based on the answers, select the outstanding ones. Again, if you want to recruit judicial talents,

Those who are experts in military strategy will submit questions on military tactics and strategies in a scroll, and have hundreds of people answer them. Then, based on the answers, the best ones will be selected.

According to this law, regardless of military, political, legal and criminal talents, regardless of their origins, regardless of their family background, they should only be selected based on their talents, and only those who are qualified can be selected!"

As he said this, Li Mengxi suddenly had an inspiration, "There is something else! In addition to the imperial examination, scholars can also take the martial arts test to test the skills of bow, horse power, gun and knife. If you are a brave man, you will naturally stand out."

"Furthermore, strange people such as craftsmen, doctors, and horsemen can also try it out."

"It's not about interviews, it's not about recommendations, it's not about being filial and honest, it's about trying to select people, regardless of their origins, it's just about their talents. This is called the imperial examination.

All the difficulties mentioned before include not being able to recognize people, being able to recognize people but not being able to recognize many people, being able to recognize many people but not being able to recognize them all, being able to recognize all people but not being able to put them to their best use, being able to use their talents and assign official positions, but not being able to make everyone submit to them.

All these difficulties can be solved by using only one method of the imperial examination. The method of the imperial examination does not require the ability to recognize people. Once the tests are done, those who understand the law will be excellent in the questions, those who understand the military skills will be excellent in the military skills, and those who are brave will use the bow.

If the horse is excellent, the talents of all kinds will be fully displayed and their abilities will be fully displayed."

After all, when Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Jian Yong were all looking deep in thought, Li Mengxi said to Jian Yong, "There are fifteen scholars from Zhuozhou who have arranged for him, and I want to test him using the imperial examination method.

If the scholar from Zhuozhou is really talented and can beat hundreds of people in our gentleman camp in the written examination, then why not let him be the leader of hundreds of scholars?

But if his talents are insufficient, his intelligence is not outstanding among others, and he cannot be put to good use, then even though I, Julu, am short of people, I have no official to reward him lightly, so I can only treat him as a soldier of the people."

Looking at Jian Yong, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu below, Li Mengxi asked, "Mr. Gongyou, Xuande Gong, and General Guan, what do you think of this method?"

"Okay!" Guan Yu exclaimed, stroking his palms.

"Very good! Fair and impartial!" Liu Bei smiled.

"That's it!" Jian Yong looked excited.

There is no doubt that Li Mengxi's meritocratic imperial examination method is the fairest and most beneficial to the scholars from Zhuozhou. Originally, the scholars from Zhuozhou came late, and Jian Yong did not place any hope on high officials and positions.

He is late and has much less qualifications than others.

But in the imperial examination, regardless of qualifications or origin, only talents are selected. If you are really talented, you can get a high official position. But if you are not as talented as others, then if you are not as talented as others and still want to get an official position, even if you give him an official position, who will

Convinced? No one is convinced. Let Jian Yong come to see it, and Jian Yong is not convinced either.

At night, Li Mengxi and everyone discussed the method of selecting talents through the imperial examination, and prepared to start preparing related matters tomorrow.

This was just an ordinary night, and huge epoch-making changes began from then on.
