In the Han Dynasty, talents became officials mainly through the inspection and promotion system.
As for the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was a nine-level Zhongzheng system.
Compared with the former, the latter has made certain progress, but still firmly controls the power of being an official in the hands of aristocratic families.
Liu Bei heard what Liu Mang said and understood what his son wanted to do.
Train veterans who are unable to go to war and arrange a job for them to support their families, and their loyalty will not be a problem!
The Han Dynasty has no shortage of talented people, but what it lacks are petty officials and officials who are willing to be screws.
By breaking the monopoly of aristocratic families on grassroots officials, Liu Bei can take the first step to break the situation.
Liu Bei now also has to think about this problem that gave Cao Cao a headache.
"Reviving the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital!"
"To win over Jiaozhou and Yizhou for my father, we need the help of these veterans!"
"Mang'er, you have made great achievements again!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately asked for advice: "Liu Jiyu and his son have been running Yizhou for many years, and I am afraid they have gained the support of many people!"
Liu Zhang got support? Are you kidding me?
"Dad, don't worry, as long as you attack Chengdu now, I guarantee that there will be surrender factions inside!"
surrender?
Pang Tong was puzzled and said: "Young Master, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang father and son have been in business for many years, and there are even more famous people in Shu to assist them!"
"How can it be that, as the young master said, they are all surrenderers?"
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were equally curious. Although they were knowledgeable people, they had little information at the time and did not know the composition of Yizhou's power.
"To understand why Yizhou is full of capitulationists, we need to understand what kind of talents Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son relied on."
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Like my father, Liu Yan was also a foreigner when he first arrived in Bashu!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! They are all immigrants. Look at Liu Yan. He left Yizhou to his son when he died. Look at my father..."
Ahem!
Liu Bei quickly cleared his throat tactically, reminding Liu Mang not to say something he shouldn't say!
"Okay, Dad, I didn't give you any hint!"
Liu Mang said disgustedly: "Liu Yan and his son are outsiders themselves. They are afraid that the Bashu gentry will ignore them, so they would rather appoint the Dongzhou faction who are also outsiders to seek refuge!"
"The Yizhou local faction provides soldiers, food and wages, but cannot be reused. I'm afraid no one would be willing to do it."
"So, once a foreign force attacks, they will definitely be a staunch capitulator!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and sent the Yizhou faction as an internal response. Wouldn't he be able to conquer Yizhou with overwhelming force?
"Dad, don't be too happy too soon! You and Liu Zhang are actually evenly matched!"
When Nizi speaks, Xuande bursts into tears!
"Most of my father's team are from Jingzhou!"
"When the time comes to capture Yizhou, don't you want to reward me based on your merits?"
"If we fail to solve this problem, if others attack Yizhou in the future, those local factions will still surrender."
What Liu Mang said made everyone think deeply.
Liu Bei's team, as a start-up angel round, has never considered the next development.
That is the problem of rounds A and B. After all, there was no help from Zhuge Liang before, and the three brothers just barely set up the grass platform team.
"Young Master... how about asking the lord to reuse the local nobles in Yizhou?"
Zhao Yun put forward his own opinion, "At least we can give them a chance to become officials!"
Guan Yu nodded and said: "What Zilong said makes sense. As long as the official position can be balanced, I believe that my eldest brother can conquer the hearts of Yizhou!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head. There were some things he was not suitable to say directly.
Pang Tong and Xu Shu looked livid, obviously not agreeing with these words.
"Second Uncle, you and Fourth Uncle Zhao have good intentions, but they underestimate the human heart."
Liu Mang sighed and said: "Since my father arrived in Jingzhou, he has always focused on the Jingzhou team. Whether everyone admits it or not, my three gentlemen all have an indissoluble bond with Jingzhou."
"They have endured hardships and tiredness from my father. At the end of the year, dividends will be distributed. If you ask them to directly cede half of it to the people of Yizhou, no one will be happy."
Zhuge Liang and the other three nodded, indicating that Liu Mang had said what they were thinking.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a wry smile: "It was Zilong who spoke rudely just now. I hope the three gentlemen will not be surprised!"
Zhuge Liang and others even said they did not dare.
"Zilong, even if we don't have any objections, I'm afraid the people of Yizhou will complain a lot."
"For them, governing Shu by Shu people is the best choice!"
"If you give half of the official positions, they will only ask why the other half was given to Jingzhou people!"
Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly: "Such a problem is really difficult to solve! I, the Han Dynasty, have always recruited talents through examination and examination. People in Yizhou will only recruit local people, while people in Jingzhou look down on Yizhou people. Such a vicious cycle, no wonder the young master
He would say that my lord and Liu Jiyu are facing the same difficulties!"
Zhang Fei stepped forward in a hurry, grabbed Zhuge Liang's feather fan, and then slapped him twice.
"This won't work, that won't work either! You can just tell me what to do!"
"I think we three brothers were so happy when we just arrived in Xuzhou!"
"Now that we are sitting in the four counties of Jingnan, it has caused many problems!"
The fierce and fast words directly exposed the shortcomings of Liu Bei's group.
When it comes to handling relations between nobles and clans, he seems too immature.
"Third uncle, you are only happy! If you want to control Xuzhou, you must ask the Chen family!"
"My father was able to command Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son back then? That means my two uncles were kind-hearted and provided a sum of funds!"
"If the Chen family didn't help, otherwise Cao Cao's army would come, why would my father choose to run away? I was afraid that the Chen family and his son would take him for a reward!"
Ahem!
See through but don’t tell!
Liu Bei coughed twice to express his dissatisfaction.
You rebellious son, why do you always poke my father's spine?
"Young master, what you are saying is that whether we are conquering Jiaozhou or Yizhou, the relationship with the gentry will always be the top priority?"
Xu Shu frowned and said, "It's a pity that we people don't have the so-called real aristocratic families!"
Liu Mang nodded and said with a smile: "What Mr. Yuan Zhi said is true!"
"Looking up, all of you here are weaving mats, selling shoes, and descended clansmen; murdering fugitives, selling mung beans; slaughtering pigs and dogs, and being natives of Zhuoxian County."
"As well as...the villagers who work hard in Nanyang, the drunkards who chew on the old family, and the reform-through-labor prisoners who impulsively kill people...there is just no qualified aristocratic family!"
The civil and military ministers became more and more angry as they thought about it. This wave of indiscriminate attacks by the young master was obviously aimed at all of them!
But what they said is right, Liu Bei's army does not lack civil servants, strong generals and people with lofty ideals, but there are no so-called representatives of the gentry!
Therefore, wherever Liu Bei went, he suffered greatly!
"Sir, have you already thought of a solution?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being my beloved disciple!"
Pang Tong was not to be outdone and said: "What a good Kong Ming! You have also studied under me, and you are also my beloved disciple!"
Xu Shu cast an envious look, but it was a pity that he entered Cao Ying on the way and missed the good opportunity to recruit Liu Mang as his disciple!
"Mang'er, why don't you tell your father soon!"
"Dad, do you want to know? Keep it a secret!"
You traitor! You traitor!
Uncle Liu Huang felt his blood pressure rise and almost fainted on the spot!
