When Li Shimin saw Li Jue return, he quickly changed his tune, fearing that his cunning grandson would discover something amiss.

Seeing how wary His Majesty was of his eldest grandson, Li Jing felt like he was about to burst out laughing.

I really don't know what His Majesty is worried about. Why doesn't His Majesty hurry up and bring such an outstanding grandson to the palace to raise him personally? Instead, he just left him in a village in Xianyang!

Li Jue entered the house only to look for vinegar. He found the vinegar jar in another food box and immediately ran out to eat.

Why does Da Sun want to eat out?

“Uncle Li, didn’t you see the table is piled high? Where’s the room to eat?”

Seeing that Li Jue had gone out again, Li Jing mysteriously took out the entire method for selecting people.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is the method of selecting people personally designed by your eldest grandson!"

"Although this method is still in its initial stage, I believe that as long as it is perfected, it will surely become a method of selecting people that surpasses the Nine-Rank System and even the Imperial Examination System!"

"oh?"

Seeing how important Li Jing's words were, Li Shimin picked up the item Li Jing handed him and examined it carefully.

The list was filled with various selection criteria, such as age, education, martial arts skills, personality, family background, origin, experience, and colleagues' evaluations.

Moreover, each item has evaluation criteria. For example, age is considered excellent if it is between 20 and 25, second best if it is between 25 and 30, average if it is between 30 and 35, below average if it is between 35 and 40, and below average if it is over 40.

There are also many settings for the "origin" category, with those from aristocratic families being the lowest, those from merchant families being the lowest, those from self-cultivating farmers being the highest, and those from meritorious families being in the middle to upper range, and so on.

After carefully reading it, Li Shimin asked with a look of shock.

What is this method called?

"Your Majesty... Old Li, according to your eldest grandson, this is a multi-dimensional evaluation method!"

"Hiss... Is this really just what this child came up with?"

Li Jing smiled shyly upon hearing this.

"Not entirely. I also helped refine some details, such as the scoring criteria..."

"However, the entire evaluation system was built entirely by your eldest grandson."

"I'm just helping out your grandson!"

Li Shimin was so shocked by Li Jing's words that he was speechless for a long time. If he hadn't known that his grandson was only being given a military post, he would have suspected that his grandson had become the Minister of Personnel!

To be honest, even the official records of the Ministry of Personnel in the Tang Dynasty weren't this detailed...

However, such detailed archives only recorded the most ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!

Seeing His Majesty deep in thought, Li Jing wisely shut his mouth.

He knew that everyone who heard this would need time to process it, even His Majesty the Emperor, a man of extraordinary talent.

After a long while, Li Shimin finally let out a long breath.

"This method is excellent!"

"Write a detailed report, and I will order the Ministry of Personnel to follow suit. From now on, this method will be used to evaluate officials of our Great Tang!"

"Your Majesty, if this method is to be used by the Ministry of Personnel, it needs to be revised, and a criterion of political achievements should be added..."

"right!"

"This must be added!"

Just as Li Shimin was about to plagiarize his grandson's idea, Li Jue walked in after finishing his meal.

"Old Li, what brings you here today?"

"Ah... I missed you, so I came here especially to see you!"

"cut!"

"Don't try to fool me. Just tell me how many people you've sent to our Zhechong Prefecture, and give me your list of recommendations. I'll take them all as long as they're not too bad!"

"this……"

Seeing that his grandson had misunderstood him, Li Shimin was too lazy to explain and simply wrote down a few names.

"These people are all quite good; they can be given important responsibilities, at least enough to serve as brigade commanders or similar positions under you!"

"Oh, oh, oh?"

"I remember these people; they are indeed promising talents, with excellent results in all aspects!"

"Since it's a favor from Elder Li, then this junior can't refuse. Let them be brigade commanders!"

Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable when he saw Li Jue say a few words to him and then continue with his work. He had come all the way from Chang'an, and this bastard didn't even bother to spend some time with him.

He established the Sanglin Garrison Commandery solely to protect Li Jue, not so much to keep him so busy that he forgot about his own father!

"Grandson, is your military command very busy?"

"Um!"

"The results of over a thousand people must be released within three days, and then posted publicly so that everyone knows their performance over the past month..."

"Isn't this unnecessary?"

"In the Tang Dynasty, there were six or seven hundred military command posts, and I've never heard of any of them assigning scores to their soldiers..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jue criticized Old Li with a serious expression.

"Old Li, be careful what you say!"

"The reason why the Tang Dynasty is invincible is entirely due to the selfless dedication of its soldiers. How can you underestimate them!"

"I...I didn't underestimate them..."

"So you're saying they were low-ranking soldiers?"

Did I say something wrong?

"wrong!"

"Completely wrong!"

"Every ordinary soldier has the potential to become a future general!"

"How do you know how many generals and commanders will emerge from among these thousand-plus people in the future?"

"this……"

Li Shimin scratched his head upon hearing this. The words were true, but coming from this grandson's mouth, they just didn't sound right.

The Emperor himself, who was also the grandfather, was actually criticized by his grandson!

Li Jing couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly made an excuse to pee and went out to have a good laugh.

When Li Jing left, Li Shimin immediately looked at Li Jue with a gloomy face.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Old Li, have I said something wrong?"

"That's right!"
