Regarding who to recruit specifically, this option is relatively simple.
First of all, the ability must meet the standard. Illiterate people will definitely not be able to do it. Nowadays, sailors and handymen along the coast of the Tang Dynasty can read a few words, but low-level heroes who are born from farmers in the inland areas will definitely not be able to do it.
At the same time, if you can't have a good relationship with Li Er, it's better to be naturally resentful of the emperor.
The third one is naturally to be poorer, so that everyone can gain their loyalty by providing benefits to these guys.
This is different from the time when various mansions took in refugees as servants and maids. They really wanted to "recruit talents."
This kind of thing, for Wang Jing and others, has to be said deep down, it is really disgusting.
After all, in this way, no matter who they are recruited, they are under everyone's command and do such a business with no capital and huge profits, which is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.
It was only through generations of savings that my family had today's family business and the name Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. As a result, these low-level thugs could climb up so fast. But when things got tough, they could only do this first.
And because of the existence of these various requirements, the final candidate is obvious.
—Of course they are the scholars from various state and county colleges!
First of all, these scholars are all from lower backgrounds, which is a big advantage. On the one hand, these boys' families are poor, but because they have read books and seen the prosperity of the world, they naturally have ambitions and are easy to take advantage of.
And for the same reason, these guys must naturally be resentful of Li Er, the dog emperor.
And at the same time, because these lower-class scholars came from poor backgrounds, they often studied hard, especially in the "science" field. They were very good, which made them more suitable for sailing.
Calculated in this way, these young scholars are naturally the ones who meet the standards of Wang Jing and others.
but.
The only thing that Wang Jing and Pei Ji's group didn't expect was that although the ideological composition of this group of young scholars was indeed what they expected, they were actually not that easy to use. In this regard, Li Erzai received this group of young scholars.
After writing newspaper articles and various conjectures about the "submarine" project, I already have a considerable understanding.
In the final analysis, intelligence ability is a comprehensive ability. In addition to collecting information, the more important thing is to process information. In later generations of colleges and universities, the real information majors first teach students to learn to read from public newspapers, etc.
Read valuable information from publications.
His real intelligence ability is actually similar to Sherlock Holmes, but he doesn't boast about it when teaching in formal schools.
Although Li Er was aware of the potential of these young scholars, in fact he was just aware of it. In terms of real understanding, Li Er at this moment was only looking at the leopard and getting a glimpse of it.
However, Wang Jing and others are different from Li Er. Although these people don't know that these scholars are the pillars of the new society, and their various abilities are by no means comparable to ordinary and stupid Confucian scholars, they still feel a lot.
However, Wang Jing and others still made a mistake.
This mistake was not accidental. In their view, these young scholars at the bottom were perfect tools to use against Li Er.
But in fact, the independence of this group of young scholars is far beyond their imagination.
As Wang Jing and others expected, some of them had resentment towards Li Er and the court, while the other group had a broader vision - similar to what was mentioned before, because of the pirates' troubles, the popularity of sea trade dropped sharply and they lost their livelihood.
Li Er did not pay attention to the calls of the lower-level craftsmen who provided the source of income, and neither did Wang Jing and others.
Even Wei Zhengfang, Du and others only regarded this situation as an occasional social problem and paid no attention to it at all.
But among this new generation of intellectuals, a new type of intellectuals cultivated by a completely new institution like the academy, which had never existed since ancient times, some people really took notice.
It's not even a minority, but a rather huge scale - and even though the scholars have not participated in the discussions among their classmates, they are still silently watching the recent events in the world, and the potential scale is even greater.
In short, Wang Jing and others felt the potential of this new type of intellectuals, so they naturally made full use of it, but in fact.
What Wang Jing and his gang did not expect was that there were a large number of people in this group of scholars, and the ideology of this group of people...
It is completely contrary to its economic foundation!
In other words, although this group of people has taken over the job of Wang Jing and Pei Ji, they are also ready to put down their chopsticks and curse at their mothers at any time.
Part of it is sympathy for the countless low-level craftsmen, handymen, sailors, etc. who have lost their source of income and their families have starved due to the ravages of pirates during this period.
The other group is not so sympathetic, but their fighting ability is even more terrifying and they are a highly calm group of people.
There are so many people mixed in the team.
In fact, for Li Er, the risk is naturally extremely high. After all, the talents he has finally cultivated may one day suddenly decide to hang out with the Romans?
The probability of this kind of thing seems low. After all, how can a good Yanhuang Miao descendant become a thief?... But this is the problem, because as a brand new social group, this group of scholars has nothing to do with the elites of the older generation like Li Er or Wei Zheng.
They are all completely unfamiliar existences.
So for Li Er and others, the thoughts of these young scholars are naturally things in a black box, and no one can fathom them.
But what Li Er did well was that although he could not figure out these young people, under the careful consideration of Wei Zheng and others, he arranged a lot of routine work for these young people to gain experience.
The most typical of them...
Naturally, it’s military towns in various places, and projects like the recent submarine building project!
But Wang Jing and others do not have such an arrangement. As long as the other party decides to go into the water for the first time in secret contact, in their eyes, it is a fish taking the bait. As for their ideological dynamics, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others are completely...
In fact, one cannot blame the Five Surnames and Qiwang gang for not being careful enough, because according to normal thinking, since the other party has decided to take risks and become thieves to cause trouble, of course they will be separated from the land of China and the order of Li and Tang forever.
But the problem is that the thinking of young people cannot be so normal. Some of them are so ambitious that even Li Er would have a big head because it is too difficult to predict.
Of course, these are all secret things... As a brand new social group, this is a black eye for Li Er. Naturally, Wang Jing and others can't see any clues. They just feel that something is falling from the sky.
It's so cool to have the soldiers and horses that come down for everyone to use.
only.
Just after the submarine was launched, something unexpected happened!
