In addition, Li Longji can accept the coach with an open mind at this time, so the politics is clear and the political situation is stable.
Li Longji adopted Zhang Jiuling's suggestion and formulated the official relocation system. Select competent officials from Beijing and transfer them to the Governor's Office to exercise their handling ability and cultivate administrative experience.

In selecting talents, Li Longji also reformed the imperial examination system, limiting the number of Jinshi subjects, so as to reduce the emergence of redundant staff and improve the overall quality of officials.
