Some time ago, Zhang Bao asked Huang Chenzhi to issue the first serious state pastoral order.
Two competitions are being carried out simultaneously throughout Hezhou.
There are two champions in literature and martial arts.
In today's Daxia, there is no imperial examination system.
Under normal circumstances, there were two main ways to select officials when Daxia was just founded. One was to select and appoint officials at all levels according to military merit and title. This was also the case for Fan Hanzhong, Fu Mingli and others, as well as many of their subordinates.
All the officials were from the military.
It is often said that officials have many military merits.
The second way is to select from among the Langguan.
Langguan refers to the Zhonglang, Shilang, Langzhong, Yilang, etc. who are subordinate to the Langzhong.
When they are free, their duty is to guard the palace and serve as the emperor's attendants. If there are any vacancies below, they will be selected from among them.
And these Langguan, generally come from Renzi and Zunxuan.
The so-called Renzi is an official with a salary of more than two thousand dan. After three years of term, he can nominate one person to be a Langguan or other official position.
And this election was a benefit given to the squire family at the beginning of Daxia, or it could be said to be a means for Daxia to win over the squire family.
As long as they pay a certain amount of property, they can serve as Langguan or other official positions.
Until now, not only did Daxia not have a better way to select talents, but it continued to make a fuss about these two items, and naturally a lot of loopholes were taken advantage of.
Just like the previous magistrate in Sanhe County.
Zhang Bao knows.
In today's world, it is not only technology and productivity that are lagging behind, but also horribly lagging behind in terms of consciousness and systems.
In the past, Zhang Bao might not have been able to do much.
But now that we have two states, we can already implement some things.
The reason why we didn't take advantage of the situation to capture Shaanzhou and didn't rush to attack Dongzhou was largely due to the lack of manpower.
It's easy to take them down, but the question is, what to do after we take them down?
Are they treated like colonies?
Of course that's not possible.
If you want to develop like Hezhou, you need reliable people to support you in these key positions.
An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
There is a lot of land to be found, but an official is equally hard to find.
Zhang Bao then planned to conduct talent selection within Hezhou.
The small one is hidden from the world, the big one is hidden in the wild.
There are still many talents who have been buried because there is no suitable promotion channel and have been inactive all their lives. What Zhang Bao needs now is such a person.
"good!"
"Order each county to bear all the costs of selection, and do not let those who participate in the selection spend any money."
"In addition, tell them not to care about their origin, background, or family background, and to strictly follow the standards I gave them. If anyone cares about their own personal interests and sends some trash to me through connections, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"They just screen, and the final result is with me."
Zhang Bao said coldly.
"Actually... Sir, there is no need to worry about money. I believe that most of those who can study and practice martial arts now are people with some wealth, and I believe that most of those who can pass the screening are people from aristocratic families. Do you have some money issues?
Are you worrying too much?”
Huang Chenzhi suggested on the side.
In today's Daxia, the children of ordinary families do not have the opportunity to be exposed to such things as reading or practicing martial arts.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the private basic education that Zhang Bao implemented in Hezhou, 99% of the people in Hezhou would be illiterate.
Before Zhang Bao, those who could afford to hire a husband and buy books in Hezhou were from wealthy families.
Not to mention practicing martial arts, it does not mean that you can participate in the martial arts competition if you can fight or something like that. Kung fu is just one of them, and there is also knowledge of various military arts that must be mastered.
If a person has skills and can lead some troops, Wu Dayong is already their ceiling.
If you want to go out alone, you still can't do it without something in your stomach.
Just like that idiot Lu Bu, he is the best in the world in terms of martial arts and his IQ is estimated to be in the triple digits.
In the end, he just became a tool at the mercy of others.
After listening to Huang Chenzhi's words, Zhang Bao naturally understood what Huang Chenzhi meant.
But Zhang Bao also knew that besides these powerful people, there might be a few 'fish that slipped through the net'.
Just like the national hero Yue Fei, whose family was poor since childhood, he still studied martial arts under the famous teacher Zhou Tong with the support of his neighbors.
Just like Han Xin, when he was young, he couldn't even afford food, but he loved military books.
Just like Kuang Heng, who cut through walls to steal money, he wanted to study very much when he was a child, but because his family was poor and had no money to go to school, he learned to read from a relative, and then he became able to read, and later became the prime minister of Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty.
…
These people have no background. Zhang Bao believes that there will be such people in every era!
certainly.
The most important reason is that those who come from aristocratic families will inevitably be influenced and driven by the aristocratic families.
Even if this person's status is higher in the future, it will naturally lead to the rise of the family.
In this way.
It feels a bit like raising a tiger.
Zhang Bao prefers these people without any background.
Only then can you truly be in control of yourself.
"Just do this, do this as soon as possible!"
"If the execution of my first state pastoral order is poor, don't blame me for taking action against them!"
Zhang Bao said to Huang Chenzhi.
Huang Chenzhi nodded.
Zhang Bao seems to have changed a lot in recent years.
Perhaps because I have enough strength, I have less worries when doing things and am no longer as hesitant as before. Just like these few battles, not only were they initiated decisively, but the whole process was also clean and efficient.
I believe that after what happened in Taizhou and Shaanzhou, they will have a stable life in Hezhou.
It is not easy to live a stable life in this turbulent environment.
Without killing, there will be no peace.
Zhang Bao seems to have seen this very clearly.
"Yes, sir, I will make arrangements right away."
Huang Chenzhi nodded and stood up.
"By the way, sir, when I came here just now, I saw my wife waiting outside. I don't know if she was afraid of disturbing us, so she didn't come in."
Huang Chenzhi said to Zhang Bao.
"Um?"
"Xiaoyue?"
Zhang Bao quickly walked out with Huang Chenzhi.
During this time, Zhang Bao had to deal with a lot of things, and it was not convenient to stay in Yueyan Restaurant, so he stayed in Huang Chenzhi's county government office.
"Xiaoyue, why are you here?"
"Come in quickly, it's snowing and it's cold."
Zhang Bao quickly pulled Su Xiaoyue in and swept the falling snow from Su Xiaoyue's hair.
"Ms. sir, you are the state shepherd now, and I am just a woman. When you discuss business matters, you will naturally avoid me."
"Besides, I haven't seen snow outside in a long time."
Su Xiaoyue's face turned red from the cold, and she seemed to have been standing outside for a while.
"Silly girl, if you need anything, just let someone call you."
"Why did you come in person?"
Zhang Bao asked Su Xiaoyue.
"My lord, tomorrow is Ma Junhou's memorial day. Please remember to go back early tomorrow morning so that we can go and worship together."
Su Xiaoyue said to Zhang Bao.
"tomorrow?"
"So fast?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised. He was so busy recently that he didn't even know the day.
"well……"
"Unknowingly, it has been...three years..."
Zhang Bao sighed softly.
He touched the hairpin on his chest through his clothes.
The proud figure standing on the edge of the cliff and riding a horse appeared in front of me again, and the promise that resounded throughout the valley...
