If you say that these people may not be very bad, their thoughts are bound by moral articles I have read before, so these people seem out of place with the people around them.

...After this, Shen Mo personally explained what considerations he issued were based on and what shortcomings had changed before it was implemented.

When everyone listened to the scholars reading this, they were in a state of excitement.

The first is the official appointment and removal system established by Shen Mo. In the early days of the establishment of the new imperial court, Shen Mo proposed that whether it was the existing officials of the old system or the new officials in his own Tongzhou group, they were treated equally and all had to pass the exam to work.

As for the content of the exam, it is conducted to assess the positions where these officials are located and their daily government affairs.

According to Shen Mo, if an official in charge of warehouses is not even aware of how much stuff there is in his warehouse.

If there are any things that need to be reported for damage and rotten need to be replaced, then he is not worthy of sitting in this position.

On the other hand, in order to ensure fairness, Shen Mo also gave the current officials a month to make them familiar with their tasks as much as possible in order to handle the exam. To be honest, this is already very generous.

Even if they were sharpening their guns in the face of battle, they would at least let the officials of the Song Dynasty hug the Buddha's feet temporarily and get familiar with the government affairs in their hands, so as not to be blind during the exam.

As for officials from Tongzhou, according to the head of state Shen Mo, they also have to pass the exam before they can become officials.

Only when they have the level and qualities they deserve will they be appointed and removed from becoming leaders in this position.

After this passage, Shen Mo smiled and said, "In the Song Dynasty, there are inevitably some such officials in the court: they go to establish relationships with their Shangguans, get along with their relationships, connect with classmates everywhere, and sing poems, wine and harmony everywhere."

"As long as these people are willing to spend money and have some writing talents, their reputation will gradually become louder.

Then you will be promoted in the officialdom.

But when they really talk about doing things, they often don’t even understand the government affairs they are responsible for.”

"Either the official duties of these people are handled by their aides, or they simply appoint a trusted subordinate to sign and print for him.

So many people have not even been to the yamen to work for many years."

People like this will never think of serving as officials in the new court in their entire lives! In addition, whether there are any corruption incidents in the yamen where each official is located, whether the accounts match the actual situation, and how many useful things they did during their tenure are all the content of the assessment.

According to the head of state Shen Mo, usually in a yamen, only 20% of them are actually working, while the other 80% are stumbled.

The new imperial court he wanted to establish was honest and efficient, and he would never allow anyone to sit in a position and be a salary thief.

Then Shen Mo also talked to Zhang Tianru with emotion about the official system of the old court before.

During the Tang Dynasty, many so-called famous scholars went to Zhongnan Mountain not far from Chang'an to live in seclusion in order to become high-ranking officials.

Their purpose is to promote their noble character and devote themselves to learning.

As a result, many people became famous and were summoned to the court as officials.

This even led to the idiom "Zhongnan Shortcut", which means that if a person wants to be an official, he will first go to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion and gain a good reputation. The fastest shortcut is the fastest way.

When the head of state said this, he sighed: "No matter how good a person like this is, first of all, he can come from the deep mountains to the officialdom. Whether he can handle government affairs correctly and skillfully is the biggest problem."

"What's more, those who are obsessed with learning may not necessarily do a good thing for the people.

And those who seek fame and only want to gain fame and then embark on the career path are even more worrying in their professional ethics.”

Therefore, when the head of state selects officials, it must first see whether his abilities are qualified, and secondly, whether he has devoted all his attention to government affairs.

As for fame and knowledge, it is only meaningful to individual officials, but it is useless in work, so it is not considered in the qualification examination of officials.

...This is another new and extremely novel statement. When many people hear this in the newspaper, they think of the officials who go to the Nanshan Mountain to watch the snow today and go to the Beiyuan to recite poems tomorrow, and immediately shook their heads.

Everyone thought to themselves that if the officials selected after such an exam were as follows: they might be really capable, right?

At this time, some of the scholars fell into deep thought, thinking that in the future, the talent of governing the people would probably be more useful than the talent of poetry, lyrics, songs and essays.

Some people secretly agreed with Shen Mo's idea of ​​forming the imperial court.

Of course, there are a few of them who disagree with Shen Mo's statement.

"This is strange! I don't read moral articles, but instead talk about these common things... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

In the crowd, a scholar in a brocade robe threw the newspaper on the table and said loudly: "If this continues, the country will be in a state but not a country!"

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the chubby round-faced businessman just now, and then he retorted mercilessly: "What is civil affairs?

The appointment of officials was originally to do these civil affairs! If you dislike civil affairs, don’t join in the fun of being an official?

Study your moral articles at home, don’t make trouble, okay?”

"As an official, if you don't do anything about your position, you'll be a corpse! I think the head of state is right!"

At this moment, the two businessmen stood up to check the account while looking at the scholar with disdain.

He also said with a sarcastic sneer: "Like those who speak loudly and speak empty words of morality, they should not touch the seal at the yamen for the rest of their lives! The head of state is right!"

The brocade genius was speechless when he was treated with two merchants. For a moment, the blue veins on his forehead jumped straight, but he didn't know how to stop talking. He could only watch the other person angrily and leave.

When everyone finished their breakfast, they read all the article "Question and Answers from Xinxue Chuqingtang", and everyone dispersed one after another.

And the scholars also had different expressions and rushed to all directions with their own worries.

...After this, the contents of this newspaper spread wildly.

This unique "Xinxue Chuqingtang Q&A" clearly explains the governance philosophy of the Head of State Shen Mo and his plan to form a new imperial court.

Then, a sensation broke out in Lin'an City and even the world of the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, in this magnificent history.

Shen Mo was walking on thin ice, promoting the new political system bit by bit.

In his heart, he always kept the doubts Song Ci had towards him that night, and kept turning the huge giant ship of the Song Dynasty little by little.
