Chapter 84 Talent Selection and Soldier Recruitment
When Qiao Che faced Bai Yutian's angry scolding, he refused to retaliate and accepted the lesson.
He also wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart. Two living people could not be found.
Until now, Tailin City Gate is still closed, making it impossible for anyone to escape.
"Look, keep looking, we must find Gu Chengxuan and Gu Lianxi."
After Bai Yutian finished speaking, he sat back.
Although he had never been in contact with Gu Chengxuan, based on his previous memories, he always felt that Gu Chengxuan was not a simple person.
If Gu Chengxuan is not caught this time, there may be endless troubles.
"Your Majesty, the palaces and buildings that were destroyed in the palace battle yesterday are being repaired urgently and additional manpower is needed." Li Zhengkang said with clasped fists.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was implicated in Gu Taizhong's rebellion and was now imprisoned in prison. Finally, almost all the Minister of Industry and others were also implicated.
Therefore, Li Zhengkang was promoted by Bai Yutian as a temporary representative of the Ministry of Industry.
"Your Majesty, yesterday we searched the residence of Gu Taizhong and his accomplices, and found countless gold, silver and jewelry, as well as land deeds and several real estate properties, all of which were recorded."
All these properties have been recorded, excluding land deeds and real estate, exceeding seven to eight million taels of silver.
Moreover, most of them have not yet been recorded and are still being counted.
Preliminary statistics show that when all these properties are converted, they are probably no lower than the compensation paid by the Shanu Kingdom.
It is conceivable how much money these officials and ministers have embezzled and how many bad things they have done.
"Your Majesty, the Six Ministries lack a large number of manpower, and the court is having difficulty operating. We need to send someone to take command as soon as possible." An old minister came out and said.
Except for the Ministry of Punishment, the five ministers are all members of the Gu family and have a close relationship with Gu Taizhong. The ministers and other officials in each ministry are also very close to the Gu family.
After what happened yesterday, almost all of these people were arrested. Therefore, the operation of the imperial court encountered difficulties again.
Bai Yutian also had a headache about this.
This was the situation he least wanted to see. Gu Taizhong implicated too many people, and almost half of the court was arrested at once.
Especially some important positions, there is no one to direct them at all.
However, these people have to be arrested. They are all from Gu Taizhong's camp. If they are not arrested, there will be endless troubles.
"Yan Chong."
"I'm here."
Hearing Bai Yutian calling him, Yan Chong stood up quickly.
After so many things, Yan Chong has completely trusted Bai Yutian and is very loyal to Bai Yutian.
Now, as long as it is Bai Yutian's order and it is within his ability, he will execute it without hesitation.
"I order you to serve as a bachelor, and together with Huang Yongding, you will be temporarily in charge of the five departments."
Yan Chong's ability is very strong, so Bai Yutian is very relieved about this person.
"Yuncheng, I now officially appoint you as prime minister, in charge of all officials."
Yuncheng's performance has always been outstanding, and he even made his first contribution in the previous battle.
Bai Yutian had promised Yuncheng a reward a long time ago, and now he has fulfilled his promise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Cheng was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
This time, no one jumped out to oppose Bai Yutian's canonization.
After all, no one will take the initiative to find discomfort now.
Without Gu Taizhong, the court would only be controlled more closely by Bai Yutian.
"In addition, I plan to hold a talent selection to select outstanding talents from academies across the Great Zhou Dynasty and train them as soon as possible to serve the imperial court. What do you think?" Bai Yutian said lightly.
Academies were established in many places during the Zhou Dynasty to cultivate talents.
Xiao Li previously taught in a small local academy and was considered a local talent.
"Your Majesty is wise," the ministers said in unison without any objection.
After that, Bai Yutian made some arrangements one after another and explained the follow-up arrangements.
Before leaving, he also gave the ministers a special beating.
Except for Yuncheng and others, the remaining ministers were terrified.
They were glad that they had cut off their relationship with Gu Taizhong in advance and distanced themselves, but they were also afraid that Bai Yutian would suddenly find them.
Fortunately, Bai Yutian was not a murderous person, and the ministers he dealt with were all related to Gu Taizhong's rebellion.
As for the remaining people, Bai Yutian didn't bother to deal with them.
The imperial court is really short of people now. As long as they don't take the initiative to die, Bai Yutian will not punish them.
After the beating was finished, the next step was to award awards. In addition to Yuncheng and Yan Chong, several other official positions were promoted, and all meritorious officials were awarded.
After the dynasty, Bai Yutian issued an order to the people of the Zhou Dynasty, announcing that the rebels would be executed to serve as a warning to others, and at the same time, he also rewarded the meritorious ministers.
Moreover, within the Great Zhou Dynasty, talent selection and soldier recruitment will also be held.
Needless to say, talent selection is a matter of course. In the battle of rebellion, Fenghuo Camp and Shenji Camp fought hard, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Internal fighting also occurred in the city guard camp, many soldiers died tragically in the battle, and the strength of the troops dropped significantly.
As for the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, it was impossible for Bai Yutian to use them again.
These soldiers were sent out by Baiyu World to farm and build roads, and they were never allowed to return to Tailin City.
The remaining Shenji Battalion and City Guard Battalion soldiers totaled only about 100,000 people, which was still not enough for the capital city.
Therefore, Bai Yutian needs more troops to arm Tailin City.
In addition, Bai Yutian also plans to reform the army, integrate the Shenji Battalion and the City Guard Battalion, and reorganize the military system.
However, the two battalions have suffered heavy losses at present, and everything is in ruins.
Bai Yutian did not consider reorganizing the army before new recruits joined.
As for talent selection, once the news came out, it shocked the entire Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to talking about Gu Taizhong's rebellion, people are also very concerned about talent selection.
This talent selection is accurate to every place in Zhou Dynasty, and it can be as small as a few households. Basically, wherever there are people, there will be a chance to participate in the selection.
Moreover, Bai Yutian also sent people to personally visit academies in various places to supervise the selection and ensure the fairness of the selection.
After the first round of selection, these people will be taken to Tailin City for the second round of selection.
After numerous screenings, outstanding talents will be kept in Tailin City, waiting for official positions to be assigned.
Even those who fail still have a chance and can enter the reserve pool at any time.
As these things progressed, many people with lofty ideals in Zhou Dynasty saw hope and laughed heartily.
Many people are high-spirited and high-spirited, ready to show off their skills.
Talent selection and soldier recruitment were carried out at the same time. A few days later, all the outstanding talents in the first round of selection were brought to Tailin City, escorted by the army to ensure the safety of the trip.
"Your Majesty, these are all outstanding talents in the first round of selection. Some of them have outstanding performance and their articles are even praised by me."
In the imperial study room, Yuncheng handed Bai Yutian a list of qualified talents in the first round of selection.
