Chapter 406: 214 The Heart’s Desire

The minister below immediately answered, “Indeed, your Majesty. Across our ten government offices and hundred counties, there are five thousand six hundred and thirty-one scholars and eight hundred and twenty-three Jurens.”

“Hmm, eight hundred and twenty-three Jurens, that is a bit too much,” Yan Wangqiu slightly frowned.

In the entire Nanhai Country, even considering all government vacancies created since the founding of the Kingdom, we only have about two thousand positions.

Of these two thousand positions, more than seventy percent are occupied by the Nanhai Sect’s trusted pioneers.

The remaining over five hundred positions need to be allocated to the local gentry and influential magnates of the South Sea Prefecture.

Therefore, only about three hundred vacancies are left for those Jurens.

Obviously.

Such few positions are far from enough to accommodate the current Jurens.

Let alone the more than five thousand scholars beneath them.

These people have spent ten years studying and taking exams with the aim of becoming officials. Would the Jurens and scholars be content if you do not provide them with official positions?

Currently, they may not dare to openly protest against Yan Wangqiu due to his powerful inborn grandmaster’s strength, even if they harbor resentment and dissatisfaction.

But, don’t forget.

Yan Wangqiu does not have many years left to live.

The old grandmaster’s original reason to get involved in politics was because there was no one qualified to succeed him in his sect, so he sought a way out through the officialdom.

Now that a way out has been found, whether this path can be followed successfully and for a long time depends on his ability.

But judging from the current situation, the Nanhai Sect obviously lacks the ability to effectively integrate the country’s forces and ensure the stable inheritance of this new nation.

Leaving other things aside, the over six thousand scholars have now become a major hidden danger of Nanhai Country.

Who amongst those who study and pass the scholar exam don’t come from families with some wealth and power?

In their localities, they are regarded as prestigious individuals.

If you deprive them of their future prospects and harbor deep resentment, wouldn’t they retaliate when they have the chance?

So for Nanhai Country, appeasing these scholars has become an urgent issue.

But for these scholars, the best way to appease them is naturally to give them official positions.

However, the key problem is that Nanhai Country has no official positions left to distribute.

Exactly because they lack official positions to appease them, the scholars within the country are so antagonistic towards this little Nanhai government.

Yan Wangqiu had been racking his brains about how to deal with this issue.

But after dealing with trivial matters and reexamining Changsha Country’s request, his perspective suddenly changed.

Right.

Even if there are no official positions in his own country, there are plenty in the neighboring Changsha Country.

Having spent a year in Changsha Country, Yan Wangqiu knew its sorry state all too well.

Being harassed by the Miao people for four years, Changsha Country had not only lost their scholars but also many common people.

Song Lu, the leader of a nomadic sect, who had just established a new country, was looking for trustworthy hands, so he had to seek help from the world’s scholars.

Isn’t this a happy coincidence?

On one side, there are positions without people to fill them, and on the other, there are more people than available positions.

By complementing each other, there could be a perfect cooperation.

In an instant, Changsha would have people to fill in their vacant official positions, and he could eliminate potential threats and appease his scholars.

After quickly calculating it in his heart, Yan Wangqiu waved his hand and said, “Seeing as the King of Changsha has sent a messenger to form an alliance with us, I cannot refuse. Let’s do it this way, disseminate an announcement to our scholars stating that Changsha Country is widely recruiting talented scholars. All those with ambition in our country can go there to seek a government position.

Aren’t all these scholars complaining to me about not giving them official positions? ”

Now I have provided them with an opportunity. If they are capable, they should go to Changsha Country to compete for it.

Changsha Country has over a thousand government vacancies, right?

If they fail to secure a position this time, they can no longer blame anyone else.”

The ministers below immediately responded with admiration, “Your Majesty is sage and insightful. We admire you.”

One day after.

In the capital of Nanhai Country.

Newly written notices were posted outside city gates, government offices, markets, and the palace. The announcement officers banged the gongs a few times to attract a large crowd.

At this moment, outside the palace gate.

The leading palace guard pointed at the red notice and said to the gathered crowd, “Changsha Country was newly established and currently has over seventeen hundred vacancies. Their sovereign asked our country for assistance, and our king agreed. Therefore, a talent recruitment notice has been issued.

All scholars or higher in our country who have ambition can go to Changsha Country to seek a government position through the imperial examination.

The date of the imperial examination in Changsha Country is tentatively set for the first day of November, which is two months away.

If there are Jurens or scholars in your family, they can go to Changsha Country to take the exam. This time Changsha Country has over seventeen hundred vacancies for government positions. As long as you make a little effort, it should not be difficult to secure a position.

Even if you don’t have a scholar degree, it doesn’t matter.

As our country the Nanhai Country has formed an alliance with Changsha Country, the academic degrees obtained by scholars of both countries will be mutually recognized.

If you have studied and feel that you can become a scholar, you can also go to Changsha Country for the imperial examination. If you pass, whether you stay there to prepare for the next round of examinations or return to Nanhai Country, it will be a good thing.

All of these are due to the grace of our king and the wisdom of Changsha’s king. If any of you are interested, you can tell your family members or start preparing.

This opportunity only comes once, and if you miss it, there will be no more chances.”
