Marrying a wife and having children is like this
Although there are many excellent works with brilliant literary talent among these test papers, those who ultimately stand out are those who can come up with effective solutions to problems!
At Liu Buqi's strong suggestion, the test papers of the final 200 candidates were all made public! For a time, this "precedented" move caused countless controversies!
As the saying goes, "There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts." Since everyone has different experiences and cognitions, their evaluations of the same article will naturally be different. Therefore, the imperial examinations have never been conducted in a public manner!
The reason why Liu Buqi did this is actually very simple!
The perspective of reading articles may vary from person to person, but the standards for employing people must be consistent. Only in this way can the pragmatic culture of Youzhou people be gradually formed.
Perhaps the current people of Taiyue cannot fully understand it and there will be some controversy, but Liu Buqi believes that in future exams, the simple and plain style of writing in solving problems in this public top-ranked exam paper will definitely be used as a reference by candidates!
If this continues, the literary atmosphere will inevitably change quietly!
In short, the two hundred people selected this time may not be the best, but they are definitely the people most needed by Youzhou as an emerging force in its infancy!
In the end, these 200 scholars with completely different backgrounds were assigned to serve in the six ministries and county governments, allowing Youzhou's newly established four dukes, six ministries, eight generals and prefecture-county system to truly operate!
…
The busy Liu Buqi, with the newly promoted doctor Bai Jinjing, travels around Youzhou every day, solving the problem of resettlement of refugees in the east and the problem of farming for the Canglang Army in the west.
Military farming is an old tradition of the Youzhou soldiers. Although the output is not much, it is a constant life-saving food. After all, sometimes the war situation is very tight and it is difficult to supply food and grass to the rear.
But this time, in order to resettle the refugees, a large number of military farms were disrupted and allocated to various counties for use. The soldiers were forced to give up the fertile land they had cultivated for several years and go to open up wasteland for farming. There are many complaints, and we need to do our best to appease them!
Two months passed in this busy manner. The increasingly emaciated Liu Buqi had just attended the weddings of several disabled veterans and Yehe women, and under Bai Jinjing's stern "warning" and even the "threat" of Yue Lingxi, he obediently returned to the Yanjing Palace.
After years of war, there are too many disabled veterans in Youzhou. Although they have a job at the escort agency and subsidies from the palace, and have enough food and clothing, it is really difficult to solve the lifelong issues of these people!
Liu Buqi, who used female slaves from the grassland in the capital, specially asked Gao Yi to bring back a large number of Yehe women from Jincheng in order to solve the lifelong affairs of these retired veterans!
For tribal-structured forces like the grasslands and Yehe, internal attacks often occur, and women and children are important "materials" that they plunder from each other!
In the past, the Youzhou army would let these people go during battles, but Liu Buqi assigned Lu Xin to raise these young children in Tai'an Prefecture, the richest city in Youzhou!
Let them study and learn calligraphy with the Chinese children, and organize childless families in Youzhou and foreign refugees to adopt these children!
This move caused widespread opposition from all over Youzhou! Generational hatred is difficult to eliminate, and even Yue Lingxi found it difficult to understand.
But Liu Buqi knew that in order to completely solve the problems of Yehe and the grassland, ethnic integration was the key, and these children might be the best breakthrough!
"Lingxi, during the Taiqing Dynasty, Youzhou was the territory of the Yanyi people. Most of the native Youzhou people have Yanyi blood, but now they are all real Chinese people!"
"If we want to completely conquer the grasslands and Yehe, we must find a way to integrate them into our ranks. Otherwise, if we kill one group today, another will appear tomorrow. It's like the weeds on the grasslands. We can never completely kill them all!"
Liu Buqi's words not only convinced Yue Lingxi, but also Gao Yi, who had a blood feud with Yehe. After hearing these words, he locked himself in the study for a whole day. When he came out, he took the initiative to find Lu Xin and asked him to adopt a Yehe child!
Gao Yi's action indirectly helped Liu Buqi out of trouble, and the voices of opposition gradually subsided.
Once the problem of Yehe children was solved, it would be much easier to solve the problem of Yehe women. Most disabled veterans were willing to take in these helpless women.
The veterans were even more willing to marry the women who were captured with their children, which was somewhat unexpected for Liu Buqi.
It was only after Bai Jinjing's explanation that I understood that it was very common for widows in Youzhou to remarry. Young children would enter the new family and change their names, making them the children of the new husband. The new husband would generally treat them as his own. This was considered an aftereffect of years of war and mourning in every household!
…
Liu Buqi, who was almost "escorted" back to the palace by Bai Jinjing, looked at Yue Lingxi helplessly as he gently stroked his bulging belly!
After Bai Jinjing's complaint, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to leave Yanjing now, as it's already getting cold outside.
Although they had prepared cold-resistant supplies and food in advance, the refugees also planted and stockpiled some food that matured quickly in the past two months!
But she was really worried, as her growing belly did make it a little inconvenient for her to move around!
"Alas, I hope this winter won't be too cold. As long as we survive this first winter, the refugees who have come from afar can finally take root in Youzhou!"
While Liu Buqi was talking with Yue Lingxi, his disobedient eyes became increasingly gloomy, and soon he fell asleep in Yue Lingxi's arms!
Yue Lingxi could only smile bitterly and carefully carried her back to the bedroom, gently stroking her thin little face!
…
The next day, at noon, Liu Buqi, who hadn't slept so soundly for a long time, hurried to the conference room. Every morning, officials in Yanjing would come here to discuss matters together!
"Damn Yue Lingxi, why didn't you wake me up!"
There are not too many trivial matters today. After all, after more than two months of running-in, both the newly appointed officials and the operation of the new system have gradually adapted.
Instead, the two messages sent by Bai Jinjing sparked everyone's discussion.
The first thing is the situation in Jingzhou. Yue Wuji defeated Qu Shanhe in Chibi and originally planned to counterattack Jingzhou in one go. Unexpectedly, Yue Chengqiu sent the Beijing Garrison Camp to directly guard Jingzhou, so he didn't gain any advantage!
In desperation, King Ning had to temporarily give up the idea of counterattack, but instead took the opportunity to continue expanding his territory in Jiangdong. The Han family of Jiangdong had no choice but to move their entire clan to Jingzhou!
At this point, Prince Ning had truly broken free from the constraints of the four warring regions and had the capital to lead his troops to Jiangdong, thus establishing a safe haven in a corner of the country! Although the Han family of Jiangdong had lost their Jiangdong roots, they still held the wealthy Jingzhou, so they were not completely defeated!
