Chapter 84 Talent Selection

On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, the Holy Emperor left Jinyang and headed south. He stopped briefly when passing through Luzhou.

After the change of flag in Hedong, there was a sudden upheaval and chaos. From Shuozhou in the north to Luzhou in the south, from Shizhou in the west to Liaozhou in the east, the rebels continued one after another.

Zhang Wanjin of Luzhou seized the city and rebelled, but was finally wiped out by the surrendering Hedong troops. Zhang Wanjin probably could not let go of this ending until his death. His own people beat his own people, and he died a miserable death.

The two prefectures of Ze and Lu are full of people who speak with a Kansai accent. Li Hanzhi is mainly responsible for this.

Shao Shude once remembered that this guy and Zhang Quanyi had sworn an oath to form an alliance to deal with Sun Ru. Unfortunately, their fighting ability was too poor. From Guangzhou to Ruzhou, from Luoyang to Heyang, they were chased to the sky and into the earth, and they were in a state of embarrassment.

After Sun Ru left, Zhang Quanyi took refuge with Zhu Quanzhong, and Li Hanzhi took refuge with Li Keyong, and each settled down. But these two brothers had completely different styles.

Zhang Quanyi recruited scattered people in Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou, equalized farmland and granted land, and governed the people with military laws. Within two years, farming and mulberry trees gradually recovered. Li Hanzhi occupied Heyang and the two prefectures, and the already small population was torn apart.

After a lot of fighting, Zhang Quanyi was required to provide food and grass during the war.

It was inevitable that the two of them would part ways.

The people of Ze, Lu, Jin, and Jiangzhou hated Li Hanzhi with all their heart. His methods of harming people were top-notch. A mouse in Luzhou was once sold for a high price of 7,000 yuan, which shows the hardship of the people.

After Li Han's death, Li Keyong took over these two places.

His governance ability is of course much better than that of Li Hanzhi, but as a frontline military state, his last vestige of vitality has been drained over the years. This is the helplessness caused by the current situation.

The remaining people in the sixteen counties of Zelu Prefecture are all fierce and cruel, and they are not like good people. Even the bandits and bandits have a desperate temperament.

In ancient times, generals like to recruit some outlaws as front picks or personal soldiers to intimidate ordinary soldiers. It can be seen that outlaws themselves are relatively rare. But in Zelu, there were once everywhere outlaws, so there was no need to deliberately select them.

Yes, I went to the village and did a little shopping, and I'm sure I brought back all of them.

Now, after the arrival of a large number of immigrants from Kansai, the tough atmosphere has been slightly diluted, and at the same time, these two places have become the basic base of the new dynasty.

So, we can see a scene: wherever the holy driver arrives, the people cheer enthusiastically - nonsense, I have given you land, how can you not be happy? Shao Shude is riding on a horse, and his four-wheeled carriage cannot pass through some of the mountains.

The road has been transported back to Luoyang via the Yongji Canal by ship.

At this time, he was very happy to see the people's heartfelt support and said: "With such a scene in Zelu, if it develops in a few years, it will be no different from Heyang, Shaanxi, Guo, and Zhengzhou."

"Your Majesty, Luzhou was originally depleted of material resources and people were in dire straits. This situation was all due to the hard work of the officials. Don't take advantage of Guo Chongtao. He practiced strict economy and encouraged farmers to farm mulberry trees. The scars gradually recovered and the treasury was full. He is really a capable official."

Chen Cheng said from the side.

Shao Shude glanced at him and said curiously: "Chen Qing has never recommended a person like this."

In fact, Chen Cheng rarely recommended talents. Even if he did, he would never be so direct, so Shao Shude was very surprised. What kind of medicine did he take today? I wonder if it is not very effective?

"It is the prime minister's duty to recommend talented people," Chen Cheng said.

Shao Shude was silent for a while and asked: "What is the character of Guo Chongtao?"

"According to my observation, this person is not greedy for money and cares about the people, but he is somewhat headstrong." Chen Cheng said.

"Let him be the governor of Luzhou first." Shao Shude said, "If he is still so narrow-minded in the future, he will stop here." "Yes." Chen Cheng responded.

Shao Shude looked at Chen Cheng's white hair and sighed secretly.

Guo Chongtao is already over forty years old. Can he really change his short-tempered problem? If it were not for Chen Cheng's sake, he would not agree today.

Of course, it's not entirely out of Chen Cheng's face.

In fact, the literati of the Hedong department have not been appointed very often. Promoting Guo Chongtao is also necessary for united front and gives the Jin people some hope.

From now on, he will also observe Guo Chongtao's behavior as a person.

If Shihe's policy measures can be improved, he will be transferred to Liaodong, the Western Regions or the Five Governors to serve as a Taoist-level official.

The situation in these border areas is complex and cannot be controlled by civilian officials or military personnel alone. It is best to have people with both civil and military skills to control them. Some people may think that people with both civil and military skills are a great threat to the royal family. This is a fact.

Can be denied.

But it’s really convenient for people like them to use it.

If you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, you will be able to manage civil affairs, understand the people's sentiments, and have various means.

He can control the army, go out hunting with the generals, enhance relationships, and go into battle to command operations when necessary. The level is not low. Since the Northern Dynasties, there have been many people like this. They can only solve problems, not know martial arts, and can't heal.

Pure civilians in the army cannot climb to high positions.

From the perspective of purely stabilizing the country, it is best to employ a large number of literati who can only read. They lack the ability in "military", so even if the military power is handed over to them, they will not pose much of a threat. Because they

Without the true recognition and respect of the warriors, the reason why he was able to command the army was entirely relying on the endorsement of the imperial power, so he did not pose much of a threat to the Tian family.

It's hard to say for people who are both civil and military. They can do anything, whether they are generals or prime ministers, and they pose a greater threat to the imperial power. But Shao Shude is naturally not that stingy.

When he was alive, he was not worried about someone successfully rebelling. If Erlang succeeded to the throne in the future, he did not think anyone would be able to successfully rebel. Two generations later, the system and the atmosphere have changed drastically, and people like Gao Pian and Guo Chongtao will not be able to succeed.

If you have the opportunity to perform, you can only serve the court honestly.

As for what to do in the later period of the dynasty? Why do you care so far away? Do you still want to have a kingdom for thousands of years?

Once you really have this idea, then everything you do will go out of shape. Every founding emperor confidently believed that the dynasty he founded was unique and that the country would be very long, and then he began to painstakingly design various systems and policies.

Thinking that it can be done forever will only be counterproductive.

Taking a step back, these policies of yours can really have an effect, so what? The world is big, you are raising the people like pigs and imprisoning talents in cages. What about other countries? When the time comes, people will see you like this

He looked like he was useless. He was pushed directly towards him. How could he withstand it?

He remembered that in later generations, in the late Qing Dynasty, Japan sent spies to travel throughout China's provinces and came to the conclusion that not only the officials of the Qing Dynasty were corrupt, but the entire people were corrupt and vulnerable.

National corruption refers not only to corruption in money, but also corruption in all aspects such as physical fitness, martial arts, thought, and art. In short, it is no longer on the same level.

The honor of a gentleman is to be killed in five generations. Don’t think too much. Anyway, your bloodline will be scattered everywhere in the future. Are you afraid that there will be no pig head meat to eat?

On the first day of July, the holy driver left the high mountains of Zelu and arrived at Huaizhou, Zhili Road.

The two states of Meng and Huai were once a blank land due to the relationship between Sun Ru and Li Hanzhi, but after more than ten years of immigration and construction, they have become the base areas of the Kansai people.

Here, Shao Shude focused on inspecting the water conservancy project construction in the western section of the Yongji Canal.

"In the Battle of Huaizhou, we sent troops to pursue Pang Shigu. It rained heavily, and the soldiers were rolling in the mud. It was extremely difficult." Shao Shude said with emotion, "But the mud land back then has now become thousands of hectares of fertile farmland.

.There is also a canal that leads to the Yellow River. It’s a good place.”

Can Hanoi County in Han Dynasty be any good?

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of registered residents in Hanoi exceeded that of Hedong. During the Tang Dynasty, the number of registered residents in Hedong exceeded that of Hanoi.

By the Xia Dynasty, Hanoi might have surpassed Hedong again.

The development of a place is closely related to policies, and core areas will always receive various preferential treatment.

"Your Majesty, after many years of management in the western section of the Yongji Canal, the navigation conditions have been greatly improved." Zhao Guangfeng, the minister, pointed to the front and said. There are dots of sails on the Qinshui River, transporting them day and night, and it will have become

The brand's "Heyang Mai" is transported to Beijing.

On the west bank of Qinshui River, ditches are as dense as a spider web, sending gurgling water into the fields.

In the endless fields, the heavy ears of wheat have already been dyed golden. In a few months, the wheat in the remaining fields will be harvested. On the east bank of Qinshui River, a young farmer is riding a horse in the fields.

Head patrolling.

When meeting people of similar age, they chat and laugh softly.

When they met the young lady carrying a fruit basket, they deliberately accelerated their horses to compete with each other.

As far as the common people are concerned, they would rather raise cows than horses, because cows have greater economic value and are easier to take care of. But if life is no longer so embarrassing and there is a certain margin, raising horses is not impossible.

accept.

"In the past, when you talked about people's lives, I was hesitant." Shao Shude suddenly smiled and said, "But along the way, I found that many families have at least one horse, and I believed it 80%. If the livelihood is difficult, the first thing

The thing is to sell horses that are of little use and are troublesome. For farmers, even mules are more useful than horses."

Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng and others all laughed after hearing this.

It is really not easy to fool a saint. He has too much life experience and can infer the whole picture from the details and make his own judgment.

Chen Cheng still remembered that the sage once said that the recovery of the rural winemaking industry was a sign of the recovery and even prosperity of the rural people's lives. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

If he were an emperor who lived in a deep palace all year round, could he judge the lives of the people through various clues?

He can't, because he has no life experience. Officials don't even need to bother to make fake things. They may not even be able to see things when they are put in front of him.

He who does not hold office in a state or county cannot be considered a prime minister.

An emperor who does not understand the sentiments of the people can only play political tricks.

There is no need to play political games in Jinshang. He usually doesn't play political games. He is so straightforward. He can tell one thing, two three, just standing there. He really understands.

"Song Shilang has been ruling Heyang for many years. Now that he has seen all this, he should be very pleased." Shao Shude turned his head and looked south. Song Le was also old, and he was sick at home from time to time.

Shao Shude sighed, asked for paper and pen, and wrote on the spot: "Song Le, the minister of Zhongshu... advised farmers to focus on grains to prepare for famine, and trained soldiers to guard against bandits and bandits. However, he practiced frugality and was good at politics.

Don't be fussy, save on feasting, and support the army. If you don't pay and leave, use all your money for public use. Gradually, the tired will rest, and the money will be full. Reduce my worries and diligence, ease my fear and vigilance... It is better to eat more

Two hundred households in the city."

After finishing writing, I got on my horse and said: "Go home." The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Could you please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
