Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 1070: Selection begins again, the literati are excited

"What!?"

Hearing what Chen Shimao said, everyone was stunned.

They felt that although this method was possible, the people it would attract were too shameful.

You should know that the status of a storyteller is not very high among the people.

It can even be said to be a low-class profession if these people are asked to correct problems in the army.

Whether it can be used to teach well or badly is another matter.

Just as they were puzzled, Chen Shimao said quietly:

"Song Dingsheng, you've also written quite a few articles, all of which have been published in Daqian newspapers."

"We can find some stories about chivalry, righteousness, and integrity, and slowly influence the troops. If we tell them through the storyteller's mouth, they will surely come across vividly."

Qian Cai scoffed at these moves and muttered:

"Talk about it a little longer, and then we'll add a troupe to their ensemble."

Hearing this, Song Dingsheng clapped his hands and shouted.

"That's really good. Watching more dramas that encourage goodness and cultivate virtue in people would be very good for the troops!"

"There's no need to actually look for storytellers. Just find someone who's knowledgeable and can tell the story clearly."

His suggestion was quickly adopted by Chen Shimao.

"I am only giving the example of a storyteller. If there is a better option, we will use the better one."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and added to them:

"By the way, if the soldiers have mental problems due to continuous fighting, they can ask the military governor to help them. I believe the effect will be good."

After Chen Shimao's proposal.

Quickly developed new ideas.

They kept discussing how to get this done.

Just when everyone was discussing heatedly.

Qian Cai, who was standing by, suddenly interrupted:

"Teacher, you can say all of this, but at what level should we set this official position so that we can convince the public."

Qian Cai still remembered the intelligence he had just seen from the front line.

While questioning them, Qin Ming also raised this most important question.

Although they have now found a feasible route, there is one thing that is very important.

That is, whether the position of the military governor should be placed high or low.

If the position is too high, it would be like an airborne military leader, which would certainly make many generals feel uncomfortable.

They obtained their official positions after fighting through blood and fire.

But after these people arrived at the place, they did nothing and just treated themselves as equals.

They will definitely feel uncomfortable if this happens, but it won’t be good if the price is too low either.

If it's too low, no one will listen to what these people say when they pass by.

This issue is very subtle and must be set just right.

Otherwise they will definitely have conflicts.

Thinking of this, everyone was silent for a moment, and finally Chen Shimao spoke up to break the silence.

“Why is it necessary to establish military positions?”

"How about having Song Dingsheng establish a parallel position in the Ministry of Rites, where he would only be involved in the army's internal logistics affairs and not in commanding the troops?"

When these words were spoken, all three of them were stunned.

"Wonderful!"

"Prime Minister Chen is brilliant!"

Otherwise, ginger is still spicy.

Chen Shimao resolved many conflicts in the army with just a few words.

If only parallel official positions were established in the other six ministries and assigned to the army.

In the eyes of many generals in the army, it seemed like they had been assigned an internal affairs officer who was specifically responsible for logistics, and it would not threaten their status.

Such people are in charge of logistics and have control over resource allocation.

Not to mention being respected, at least you won't be bullied, and everyone can just do their job impartially.

As long as they can maintain their position and status, they can start working in the army.

"Okay then, let the Ministry of Personnel find someone based on these conditions."

Chen Shimao handed the matter over to the Ministry of Personnel.

"Prime Minister Chen, do you mean... to look for it within the imperial court?"

After hearing the word "Ministry of Personnel", Song Dingsheng's expression suddenly became serious.

"Yes."

Chen Shimao pays attention to perfection when doing things.

After a series of discussions, he finally decided to find some knowledgeable people.

All these knowledgeable people gathered in the court.

Choosing from among them is the best way.

When they heard this, the three people around them hesitated.

To be honest, if Chen Shimao did this, the people selected would definitely be talents.

But a group of people within the court will definitely be transferred away, and then there will be a void within them.

The six departments are empty, so everyone has more things to do.

Daily tasks will not be completed and government affairs are likely to be delayed.

At this moment, Wu Shizhong said:

"Prime Minister Chen, I have a suggestion."

"You said."

"Since schools are constantly being built across the country and a group of talented people have been cultivated in recent years, we can't just keep them waiting for the imperial examinations."

"good."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the people around him lit up.

Previously, at Qin Ming's request, they set up schools in various places in Daqian.

The tuition fees of these schools are very low, especially in some remote areas.

If you go to school, you can even get free rice and flour.

This has produced a group of knowledgeable young people, but young people need to gain experience.

It is impossible to directly entrust them with important tasks.

Just like in the imperial court, after these scholars have passed the imperial examination, they need to start as ordinary officials at the lower level and then be promoted step by step into the imperial court.

The position of military governor proposed by Qin Ming is a good choice.

They can be allowed to gain experience and gradually be absorbed into the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Chen Shimao waved his hand and said:

"Come, take this letter to His Majesty."

He personally wrote down everything that everyone had discussed today and reported it to Qin Ming.

They made the decision and arranged everything else.

The most important thing was that Qin Ming nodded, and finally after discussion at the court meeting, this matter was implemented.

As Chen Shimao placed the post of military governor in the Ministry of Rites and arranged the official positions from the sixth rank to the ninth rank, he set up official positions according to the size of the managed troops.

This matter is settled.

That night, letters were sent from the capital to all directions.

It was required that schools in all regions add an examination and select the best talents from them.

Come to Beijing for assessment.

Chen Shimao will personally preside over this assessment.

As soon as this news was released, students all over the world were excited.

Originally, they were still waiting for the large-scale imperial examination that was held every few years.

But now the court has made an exception and added another one.

Everyone wants to seize this opportunity.

On the night when the news was received, many houses in cities and villages were brightly lit.

They began to study late into the night to prepare for the exam.
