This time, the two thousand slaves sent by Beidi, apart from Gan Ren, were the children of Gan Ren's women. This was equivalent to giving back Gan Ren's own things to earn the heroes they needed.
The two gentlemen are also patriotic. As they talked, expressions of dissatisfaction appeared on their faces. Tang Ao was not angry about this. After all, it is a good thing that people are back, isn't it? Moreover, such a person, As long as you get used to it for a period of time, you should have a stronger sense of identity with Jizhou.
"Arrange them well and give them certain care within the policy. To be honest, we have been sorry for them over the years. Although this is not the fault of us, they were indeed abandoned by the gangsters. If they can come back, they must treat them well." Treat them properly. As long as we treat each other sincerely, maybe it won't be long before they become excellent Jizhou people again."
Tang Ao's decision made the two gentlemen keep nodding their heads, saying that they would definitely do a good job in this matter.
"By the way, where are the Huns?" Tang Ao would not forget that compared to Beidi, the Huns lived a harder life, but precisely because of this difficult environment, the people there also seemed more ferocious. If it hadn't been this time They were facing the elite Jizhou Army who were armed to the teeth. I am afraid that if they were replaced by other vassal kings and Daqian troops, they would not be able to gain any benefit from the Huns cavalry.
"The Xiongnu sent people there by Zuo Fu. Because the journey was far, no news has come back. But good wine is equally attractive to people. Your Highness, you don't know that this distillation method you have developed, How attractive are the hero drunks made? In fact, with the current production, they are not sold to Beidi, Xiongnu and the south. We in Jizhou can solve the problem ourselves. There are still many generals in the army because they have money. I'm worried because I can't even buy wine." Han Ce said with an envious look on his face, and there was a lot of flattery in it.
Being complimented by his subordinates, a joyful smile appeared on Tang Ao's face. Although these words may be exaggerated and meant to please Han Ce personally, he would not refuse. Perhaps only gods can be emotionless. When you come to this world, you have to integrate into it, have a human image, and have students with all kinds of emotions and desires.
"The problem of production will gradually increase. As for selling hero drunk instead of using it for self-production, this is originally an act of earning foreign exchange, which is completely different from buying it for one's own family."
Neither Zeng Tong nor Han Ce understand the so-called earning foreign exchange. It doesn't matter, they just need to implement it.
Being able to exchange heroic drunkenness from Beidi and the Xiongnu for war horses and people is worth it no matter what. As for selling heroic drunkenness to the south by sea, that is even more necessary. News has come from Longya and Anxiang , Jizhou's wanton purchase of grain has aroused speculation from some southern forces, and even malicious thoughts. In the eyes of those people, Jizhou is so backward and has such a small population, how can it need so much grain?
If he bought so much food even though he didn't need it, what on earth would King Ji do?
Hero Drunk is the best way to explain it. Ten kilograms of grain can produce about five or six kilograms of hero drunk. However, under Tang Ao's intention, the publicity is that ten kilograms of grain can only produce one kilogram of spirits. This way As a result, there will be a reasonable explanation for Jizhou's problem of purchasing grain. In this way, the southern dignitaries will not think too much and will sell grain to Jizhou generously. This will be helpful for Guangzhou to complete Tang Ao's nine mantras. Accumulating food has endless benefits.
After all, Jizhou is still too weak. Although under the leadership of Tang Ao, great changes have taken place in terms of people's livelihood, infrastructure, and the army. With the same number of troops, the Jizhou Army is not afraid of any opponent, and has at least 80% of the troops.
The above-mentioned chances of victory, but the small population is still a shortcoming.
How to make up for this shortcoming in the shortest possible time is what Tang Ao has to do now. Only when he becomes stronger can he consider opening up new territories. Otherwise, he cannot even guarantee his own safety and has to go out to conquer. Then
It’s better not to lose this person.
The emergence of Heroic Drunk is likely to make up for the shortcoming of a small population to a certain extent. Tang Ao does not need to spend too much energy on this matter. He can finally focus on another matter, that is, recruiting
Talent.
What is the most important thing in the 21st century - talents.
Whether it is a family, a power, or even a large country, it needs an endless stream of talents, only in this way can it develop stronger and stronger.
Since Tang Ao came to Jizhou, he has consciously strengthened his work in this area. Opening Longyuan School and training talents in various fields is one of the important measures. Now, officials in all counties and counties in Jizhou are basically Longyuan schools.
The students of the college are appointed. With the addition of Zhongchenghou, Yonghouhou, Mingshitang, including Cheng Hu, the son of Cheng Bailin, the Minister of War, and others, the number of talents is constantly increasing. Seeing that Jizhou is satisfied
That's enough.
It's just that Tang Ao's eyes are not just on Jizhou, he wants a unified Daqian. If such an idea was only in its infancy before, when Emperor Qianren came to power, all states and vassal kings announced
After autonomy, this idea became even more popular.
If you think about it with your big toe, you all know how these vassal kings treat the people who govern the territory. I'm afraid they will never treat them as human beings. When you don't treat your own people as human beings, you can imagine
Various pressures will come one after another, and the result is that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. When Daqian finally becomes a mess, it will be a good opportunity for foreigners to enter the Central Plains and enter Daqian.
If there really comes a day when Dagan is ruled by foreigners who take advantage of it due to severe internal strife, those Gan people will become slaves and beasts without dignity. This is something Tang Ao will never allow to happen. For this day,
He needs to prepare early, and talent reserve is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.
Only when there are enough talents can we raise troops to conquer. Otherwise, if we capture a huge territory but have no one to take care of it, so that the people live in troubled times, then what is the difference between him and other vassal kings?
"Two gentlemen, I have an idea, an idea of gaining talents through examinations." Just a Longyuan school can no longer satisfy Tang Ao. The most important thing is that the students here are all common people from Jizhou. They
Some people don't even have any cultural background at all. It's not difficult to teach them, and it takes a lot of time. It's not impossible to teach Longyuan to train talents, but it's too slow. Tang Ao then came up with the idea
It hit the scholars all over the world.
What slowly came out of Tang Ao's mouth was the imperial examination system of later generations.
The imperial examination system was proposed by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian and formally established by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Since the selection of officials since the Wei and Jin Dynasties focused on family status, it was not conducive to the selection of people with real talents and practical knowledge. In order to change this shortcoming, the Sui Dynasty
The DPRK established a new system for selecting officials. They began to use subject-specific examinations to select officials.
The advantage of this is that it allows capable people to have the opportunity to perform to the greatest extent, so that they can use it to become useful people and talents for the country.
After Tang Ao put forward this idea seriously, Zeng Tong and Han Ce couldn't help but look at each other.
Today's cadres implement a recommendation system, that is, if you want to become an official, you need someone to recommend you. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult for you to have a chance to perform. In this way, within the group of officials, , the relationship is complicated and complicated, everyone is like a spider web, with an inseparable relationship, which also makes those in power dare not move lightly.
Often, when an official is moved, the rights of a large number of immediate beneficiaries are affected. You can imagine how much courage it takes to dare to confront this huge network. How much courage and effort are needed to pierce this network. Where is the net?
The result is just to punish some incompetent officials, but it requires so much effort, it is really not worth it.
Because they are worthless, some officials, even if they are incompetent, are simply incompetent and have nothing to offer. Unless necessary, those in power will not touch them. This is very bad, and Tang Ao does not want the same thing to happen. This happened to me, so I decided to create an imperial examination system and slowly abolish the recommendation system.
Naturally, Tang Ao's imperial examination will not only teach the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. No matter how gorgeous the articles are, they will not have much practical effect. Tang Ao will take the exam on miscellaneous studies and sociology, which can truly govern the world. To obtain talents who can truly serve the people.
After finally understanding what Tang Ao meant, Zeng Tong and Han Ce didn't know what to say for a while. This was tantamount to a change in the entire system. It sounded very fresh at first, and it seemed to have some benefits, but Whether it is practical or not, we have to wait and see. The most important thing is, if such a person who does not know the details becomes an official, where will the loyalty come from?
"There's no rush. We just need to discuss this matter with the two gentlemen first. As long as you have an idea, it's better to increase the population first and strengthen yourself first." Tang Ao knew very well that one bite cannot make a fat man, and he also knew that he could not eat hot food in a hurry. Tofu. Even if both gentlemen can't understand it, then don't point your fingers at others to understand it. Get a vaccination first, and mention it again when the time is right. Presumably the two of them have similar considerations.
With the emergence of Heroic Drunk, Jizhou's development speed seemed to have reached a new level. Half a month later, good news came again. The wine-loving Huns were also conquered by Heroic Druid and agreed to exchange people for wine. With the population support of Beidi and Xiongnu, Jizhou's development began to enter the fast lane.
