Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 777 Pilot

  The news that the Langzhou army broke through Yizhou City without any effort was quickly transmitted back to the Langzhou state capital.

   And Lin Jinxiao deliberately asked the sergeant to bring a letter to Chu Nanzhi, the most important thing in the letter was the appointment and dismissal of officials in Pingning Prefecture, Langzhou, and Yizhou.

  Nowadays, Beijing and Central China are in the midst of war, but the government affairs of the states cannot be neglected.

  In Lin Jinxiao's letter, it was clear that she was asked to assist in the selection of officials in Langzhou, but in fact, Chu Nanzhi couldn't see that this guy was worried that he would really dismiss Tan Qing.

On this day, Chu Nanzhi had just got up and finished washing, and was slowly walking out of the backyard with her big belly supported by Xiaobao, Lin Jinhui and others. She saw Tan Qing kneeling at the end of the Langfang in plain clothes, holding an official official hat, waiting With the arrival of Chu Nanzhi.

   "The next official Langzhou Governor Shi Tan Qingte came to resign and plead guilty to the princess."

  Seeing Chu Nanzhi approaching, Tan Qing put down his official uniform with both shame and admiration, and bowed reverently to her.

   "Master Chang Shi speaks too seriously."

  Chu Nanzhi didn't expect this guy to be so simple and honest, so she quickly asked the sisters from the Chu family to help him up.

   "The lower official is willing to gamble and admit defeat, and the princess keeps her word. His Highness even entered Yizhou one day earlier. The lower official really admires it. From now on, he is willing to serve the princess on the saddle."

  Unexpectedly, as soon as Tan Qing finished speaking, the voice of the elder came from the yard:

   "Master Changshi is a rare talent in Langzhou. If you are asked to serve the princess in daily life, it would be a bit inferior. Even if the princess agrees, we two old guys can't agree."

   Waiting to come forward, Nie Huai'an stared at Chu Nanzhi dumbfounded, thinking about the tricks she used, and said angrily: "Girl, it's hard for you to hide it from everyone."

   "I'm really sorry for making everyone a false alarm."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled embarrassingly: "It's just a matter of military secrets, and His Highness has just settled in Langzhou, so many things have to be concealed from the elders and everyone. Please don't blame Tan Changshi and the elders."

Then, he took a deep look at Tan Qing: "Langzhou still needs a wise man like Tan Changshi to govern to ensure the safety of the people in all counties. I hereby beg Mr. Changshi to take the post of governor of Langzhou temporarily. Preside over the overall situation in Langzhou."

"This"

   Tan Qing was deeply surprised by this, and looked at the two elders flattered.

   "Brother Tan, there is no need to refuse. His Highness has already left a message before leaving. Now that the governor of Rong Heng is going north with the army, the old man and old Nie are also old. Only you are worthy of the big responsibility."

Chang Yanjue looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, and sighed a long time: "However, the advice given by the princess a few days ago, Tan Changshi, must be kept in mind, and passed on to all counties. Today's empire is no longer what it used to be. Since the founding of the empire, the rule of benevolence and benevolence has been the guiding principle for hundreds of years, but now that the people's hearts are unstable, the law must be strictly enforced, and the people's morals must not continue to be loose."

  "Only by governing the country with leniency in prosperous times and strict governance in troubled times can the government be stabilized."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled slightly at him: "In the prosperous age, use benevolence to subdue the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment; but in troubled times, you should use heavy codes to suppress riots, so that the whole country can run normally and orderly."

  This principle is like going to school, when the class is very noisy, the teacher often slaps the table and stares and even punishes the students to maintain order.

  But when everyone in the class is very cooperative with the teacher, the teacher will often tell some interesting extracurricular knowledge and tolerate everyone's minor problems.

Tan Qing suddenly felt that he had benefited a lot, and he sighed and said: "After hearing the words of the princess, the next official will be enlightened. In the future, I must bear in mind the teachings of the princess today, and live up to the entrustment of the princess, the princess, and the elders. I will definitely manage Langzhou smoothly. , to help His Highness recreate the glory of the empire."

   "With the words of Master Changshi, I believe that Langzhou will be another grand scene in the near future."

  Chu Nanzhi's eyes were filled with relief.

But as soon as the words fell, Mr. Chang Nie already had the idea of ​​saying goodbye: "Da Zhi, we two old guys have been with you for several months, and now we should go back to Luyan Port. The teacher's wife is looking forward to our return."

   "I know that the second elder misses his wife dearly, but right now I'm afraid I have to bother the two mentors to stay with the students in Langzhou."

  Chu Nanzhi blinked and looked out of the courtyard, and replied with a smile: "Second elder, please see who I brought to you."

  Old Chang Nie turned around, only to see that Ji Huazhen and Cui Shi had been quietly led into the courtyard by Tang Weiming.

   "How about you?"

  Old Chang Nie looked at each other, unable to conceal his excitement, he stared blankly at the two wives approaching step by step.

"Nowadays, the gentry in various places have monopolized official careers for a long time, making it impossible for countless poor students to enter the imperial court. This Langzhou is a thousand-year-old city in Zhongzhou, so I brought the two teachers and wives here and wanted to use this place as a pilot. Please stay in Langzhou to help Tan My lord, re-reform the method of selecting officials, abolish the practice of promoting scientific examinations through recommendation, and allow students from Langzhou to compete fairly to obtain official careers."

   "Scientific research?"

  Chang Yanjue was suddenly interested in this idea, and he didn't care about Ji Huazhen who came forward, and asked excitedly: "If there is a fair competition, this is indeed a good way to reappoint officials, but I don't know how you plan to operate, Dazhi?"

   "Chang Lao, please take a look."

  Chu Nanzhi unhurriedly took out a booklet from her arms and handed it to Chang Yanjue.

   This is the essence of her leisure at home these days, combining the imperial examination system that has been passed down for thousands of years in her era with the modern college entrance examination.

   That is, the categories she is familiar with are limited after all, and it is impossible to achieve the modern college entrance examination model, but for the selection of officials, it is much more advanced than the current recommendation system.

   "Chang Lao and Nie Lao can discuss with the state government officials, and make improvements if there is something wrong."

  Chu Nanzhi knew in his heart that when old things were discarded and new ones came out, they would be blocked, just like last year when he discussed with Xiaobailian that the policy of equalizing land was opposed by many aristocratic families.

  Baby face asked her to assist in the selection of officials in the Langzhou government, so she was unwilling to use the old method of recommending and employing officials in the past.

  This will only allow the nobles to monopolize the officialdom again.

It's just that although the official selection system that I have sorted out now can win the support of many poor students, it will undoubtedly affect the interests of aristocratic families, so it must first be approved by the world's great Confucianism like Chang Lao Nie before it can be slowly implemented. Come.

  Unexpectedly, Chang Lao and Nie Lao only read a few pages, and became very interested in the various strategies and theories she stated.

Chang Lao stroked his beard excitedly, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Set up Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingshu and other subjects, set up township schools and county schools, hold township examinations, provincial examinations, and palace examinations, and select and assess candidates at various levels. official."

   "This method is not bad."

  Nie Huai'an smiled slowly: "In this way, the appointment and dismissal of officials will be determined by the Tribute Court, directly avoiding the intervention of aristocratic families."

   "Let's go, let's go and study it."

  Chang Yanjue was like a rare thing, this is the first time that he couldn't wait to drag Nie Huai'an and Tan Qing to the government office, leaving behind the two wives who just came from afar.

   "These two old things really disown their relatives as soon as they mention court affairs."

   Cui curled her lips angrily.

   "Grandma, our mother has made a lot of jasmine shrimp and tofu soup recently. It's delicious. Let me take you to taste it?"

  Sibao Lin Ruijia was afraid that the two teachers and grandmas would take their anger on her mother, so she hurried forward to comfort her.

"This season is when jasmine is in full bloom. The jasmine shrimp tofu soup made by my humble husband last year. The students have been thinking about this soup. These days, I have researched and made some by myself. It happens that the ice cellar in Langzhou Prefecture is very effective. I I made a lot yesterday and stored it overnight, and it will be delicious to eat right now, the two teachers and wives are very tired after traveling all the way, so hurry up and use some in the mansion with me."

  Chu Nanzhi and Xiao Sibao blinked with smiles, and then invited the two teachers and wives into the inner courtyard in a hurry.
