chapter fourteen
The last point is what Jiang Feng values most.
The situation in Xuzhou and Shouzhou is slightly different from other prefectures and counties, especially among the five counties in the original Shouzhou, except for Shouchun City, the other four counties and the villages outside Shouchun City were basically systematically destroyed by ants thieves, and the entire original rural gentry system no longer exists.
This will be of great benefit to strengthening one's rule in this area.
The population of these counties was originally washed away, but now they are basically backfilling by recruiting refugees.
Most of these refugees came from the counties of Yingbo and Cai. Under Jiang Feng's intentional request, the refugees distributed by the counties were basically intentionally disrupted their original clan origins to avoid forming large clan forces in the short term.
However, the lack of clan power will also weaken the governance capabilities of rural affairs. This is why Jiang Feng strongly demanded that allocate full staff members at the county and township levels so that the county and township counties could promote the construction of granary bases through water conservancy and road construction.
Jiang Feng was quite satisfied with the strategy proposed by Chen Wei and the other two to solve the problem of insufficient officials. The first and second steps have disadvantages when walking on three legs, and can only be said to be a little bit of compensation. The third one is the most suitable, but it takes too long and will also touch the entire system.
However, Jiang Feng also understood that he had to do this, and the current situation in the two prefectures of Shishou also provided him with an unprecedented opportunity. If such a mechanism could be explored in the two prefectures of Shishou, then in the future, with the expansion of the Huaiyou power, the officials and talents trained by Huaiyou can be transported to other places to gain control for himself.
"I know a little bit. We have to try these three paths. There is no way. Now there are too few people who can use them." Jiang Feng finally made the final decision.
"First, we have to choose any region. Although Guanzhong needs to recruit, there are also many unsuccessful officials in Daliang, including Heshuo, Huaibei, Ehuang, and even Wu. Of course, we can also take more methods in recruitment and extension. For example, we encourage our current officials to recommend and recommend them, and they are welcome to invite them. As long as you are willing to come to our side, you can pay a travel fee. Even if you do not meet our conditions in the end, or you are not satisfied with our side, you can make friends. The future is long."
Jiang Feng thought further.
If these officials from all over the country can use it for their own use, it is of course good, but they also need to beware of the secret secret sent by their opponents.
In addition, these officials who come to Huaiyou can also become a tentacle for Huaiyou to understand other regions in the future. When they come here, they also have to contact their relatives and friends in their original places, so that they can provide them with various intelligence information continuously, which can be said to have multiple goals at one stroke.
These officials who are recommended by others will naturally form their own factions, but this is inevitable. Jiang Feng also knew that in this era when aristocratic families monopolize superstructure, he could only find ways to limit this disadvantage and could not be eradicated.
"The second article also needs to be paid attention to. There are many scholars in the three prefectures and ten counties in the right place of Huaiyou, with a population of one million. Although most of the gentry accounts for half of the talent, there are also many people who are striving for progress among the poor and common people. We should encourage the recommendation and selection of prefectures and counties to use it in quantity, which is particularly important for us at the moment."
This is also Jiang Feng reminded the three of them to surrender talents regardless of whether they are gentry or poor, as long as they are willing to be loyal and capable, they will use them. They will use them for great ability and use small abilities.
"As for the third article, it is the top priority we discuss today. In the final analysis, we still need to cultivate our own people. Whether it is recruiting outside or recruiting, the recipients may not be as good as ours, and their ideas may not be consistent with us. They still need to be adjusted and tested, which has many inconveniences. If we train ourselves, we will be the same as us, so this is the foundation."
The three of them nodded in one go, and they all realized Jiang Feng's intention, which was obviously going to form their own pattern.
The officials of prefectures and counties are the grassroots roles, but it is precisely these roles that support the regime in a local area. The foundation is not solid and the earth is shaken. Jiang Feng chose to lay a solid foundation from the beginning.
"Ji Wei, I will leave this matter to you to fully handle. You two will help you and give your all. I will make a few requests. First, seize the time and start before and after the beginning of winter. Second, it must be diverse in forms. This training and receive is inconsistent, and can be done in various forms, one month, three month, half year, and one year. It must be done. Not only do we need to hire more officials of all kinds, and make sure that these scholars who have never been in contact with are familiar with the ordinary practices, but also let them know the various methods and tricks that ordinary officials are playing below, so as not to be fooled by others in the future. Third, we must divide the levels and proceed step by step. My idea is that this current affairs training school will probably be carried out for a long time in the future. In addition to the newcomers who need training and receive, we can also select and promote those who perform well from the grassroots officials in the future, but we must also go through this kind of training before we can promote them...."
Ji Wei is Chen Wei's name. Jiang Feng usually doesn't call him this, but this title means that he has made up his mind.
Jiang Feng nagged and talked about the assessment and promotion mechanisms for officials in his previous lives. Although there was also an assessment and promotion mechanism in this era, this kind of simple practical training was not available. Jiang Feng specifically mentioned this and also clearly stated that this should be an opportunity for political officials to exchange and learn, excellent experience, lessons of failure, and pilot promotion from point to surface should be achieved through this training mechanism, which refreshed the three of them and looked at them.
In particular, Jiang Feng mentioned that he required officials at all levels to teach the clerks and clerks in prefectures, counties and townships and villages various dirty methods in daily affairs, and asked them to pass the exam to evaluate the trainers' ability to identify and identify, which made the three of them have a great idea.
This is probably the best way to make ordinary newcomers evolve into skilled officials. As long as you can understand such dirty methods, it means that you can basically pass the following matters.
All the novel ideas and suggestions made Chen Wei and the other two amazed. They couldn't understand why this lord had such wonderful ideas. It would be fine if you made great progress in martial arts, but why are you even so familiar with the methods of becoming an official? You don't want anyone to live?
However, since Jiang Feng had made up his mind to make a fuss about this, the three of them also agreed that this method was probably a necessary means for Huaiyou to open up the situation as soon as possible, so they all followed the order and expressed that they would do their best to do this.
Then the three of them talked about Jiang Feng's marriage and concubine.
This is also a big deal.
Jiang Feng was also well aware of the importance of the officials of this era toward this matter. With the rise of the Anshi Rebellion and the Fanzhen Rebellion after the Huangchao Rebellion, the loyalty of the gentry and tribes from all over the country and the officials composed of their children to the Li Tang royal family had dropped to a very low level, and the vassal families that could bring them safety and profit were gradually becoming their loyalty.
Of course, the Li Tang royal family still has the right benefits, but when the strength reaches a certain level, the Li Tang court will be unable to influence it. The most obvious example is Daliang, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Tang immediately reappeared in Guanzhong, such a holy weapon that was contaminated with blood lost its dazzling halo and always lacked a little sacred majesty.
At this time, the vassals of all parties became the objects of loyalty to the gentry, but this loyalty varies from person to person.
The stronger the strength, the higher the loyalty; the longer the history, the higher the loyalty; the greater the personality charm of the lords of the vassal clans, the higher the loyalty; even if they maintain a closer relationship with Li Tang, they can also get some loyalty bonuses.
In addition to these factors, whether the lord of the vassal lord has stable descendants is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.
It has been fifty years since the Huang Chao Rebellion that the separatist situation of various vassals gradually took shape, among which the elders have lasted three generations, and the shorter ones have also lasted two generations. In the eyes of the gentry in the world, this pattern is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and may last for hundreds of years.
Daliang is like the Qin State that is lonely and hostile to all sides, while Dajin is more like the powerful Zhao State, Nanyang is more like the vast Chu State, Wu and Yue State are both present, and there are also the three towns of Shijia, Taining Army, and Heshuo, which are more like Yan, Song, Han, Wei, and Dai countries.
Old vassals continued to fall, such as the Ju family in Shenzhou and the Shi family in Guangzhou, and new vassals rose, such as the Yuan family in Caizhou and the current Huaiyou Jiang family.
The worst performances are the three towns of Heshuo, endless rebellions and cruel bloodbathing are always happening. In the eyes of many people, this is actually the issue of descendants of the vassal lords. Either there are no descendants, or the descendants are weak and stupid, and lack qualified heirs. In the end, the important officials and generals replaced them, which led to the disobedience of others and the war, which eventually turned into coups and massacres.
From this perspective, as long as you hope that the Jiang regime of Huaiyou can survive forever, you naturally hope that Jiang Feng can have descendants as soon as possible. Moreover, with Jiang Feng's current situation, he will be able to fight for at least 10 or 20 years. When Jiang Feng gets older, if he has descendants now, he will grow up and grow up at that time. More descendants will be more conducive to selecting the virtuous from the best and governing.
Jiang Feng could also understand the ideas of these subordinates. In fact, he was very clear about the fact that he had many descendants and strong in this era. In fact, it was also a kind of strength. If he had more than three or five descendants like Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuwei in the future, he would naturally be more favored.
