Chapter 852 Meritocracy
"The Byzantines Yuris, Brutus, the Han family name Wang Ji, the word Anran. "No pop-up novel network baoliny]"
When everyone heard this, their faces were different, but they were nothing more than surprised.
Li Gang's face is very ugly, is there no one in the imperial court, and he actually uses people with color eyes to serve as official affairs, don't underestimate mere official affairs, that is the official affairs of the Prime Minister of the South China Sea, which is equivalent to Wang Lun's deputy envoy, which is simply unacceptable.
It should be said that the mentality of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is tolerant, and it is indispensable to use Yi people as officials, but because of the repeated humiliation of foreign people, they are slowly closed, not to mention the diplomatic relations with heavy responsibilities.
"Although Wang Ji is a Semu person, he has been back and forth in the South China Sea for many years, knows the languages of several countries, and is very familiar with the etiquette of the imperial court, so he is the best candidate for the deputy envoy." Wang Xiu insisted on using Wang Ji, in his opinion, the other party was a good person, but it also had merits.
Sooner or later, the Great Song Dynasty will have to go out of the mainland, making the best use of things and making the best use of people's talents, as long as the people of Fanbang have talent and characteristics, why not use them in line with the interests of the imperial court
Although it is impossible to guarantee the loyalty of the other party, a strong empire is attractive in itself, and if it is used properly, it can still win hearts and minds, even if it is a native, and it is the same when it is necessary to betray it.
"Could it be that there is no one in the imperial court to appoint outsiders" Xu Han's face was ugly, and he immediately retorted.
Qin Hui also smacked his lips and said unhappily: "The imperial court has a precedent for letting Yi people send envoys, but the army is alone overseas, and if you accidentally lose everything, you have to guard against it."
Wang Xiu is very concerned about Qin Hui's attitude, there are also Yi people in all dynasties, and a considerable number of people can also accept it, it seems that they are far away from the mainland, in case the use of people does not lead the failure of diplomacy, the consequences are not borne by anyone.
But he had to fight to convince the ministers to accept his advice. Of course, he will never appoint the so-called envoys to the Tang Dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, entrusting Fusang's spies to heavy use, and the people used must be selected and cannot access core secrets.
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, it is true that Wang Ji is a Byzantine, but he mostly lives in the country, and the silk country that the Yi people said has long been his hometown. Besides, the betrayal of the ministers is not far or near but thick and thin, dare to ask you, needless to say, how many people in the country have served the barbarians"
Wang Xiu was not polite at all, uncovered the scars of others, and said: "The reason why the party members have been able to dominate Hexi for a hundred years is that the scholars have made great contributions to their advice. Not to mention the distance, just look at the southern invasion of the captives, how many scholars and doctors have defected to the enemy, and how many generals have gone out to sell the country, Hebei already has half of the people, willing to be bald. ”
"The rebellion of the people's hearts is in a thought, the family and the country are strong and forge ahead, who is not willing to make meritorious contributions and seal his wife and son"
"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different" Qin Hui was still not convinced, and still did not agree with the use of color eyes, his words came from his heart, and he was completely different from fighting for power and profit.
"It's a matter of importance, and you need to be cautious." Li Gang hesitated again and again, what Wang Xiu said made sense, but he was still not at ease about chasing money and lustful people.
As Xu Han said, the army is alone in fighting overseas, how can it be allowed to let the Yi people assist in diplomatic relations, which is simply a child's play with tens of thousands of troops.
Wang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, there is a golden house in the book, and there are thousands of bells in the book, isn't this just money and interests, and it is not a corner of China.
Since there are some things that must be done, why not explore it slowly now, he hesitated a little, stared at Li Gang with both eyes, and then said: "What is the world?"
"Lord Wang has something to say." Li Gang frowned slightly, such a simple reason, and asked him, I really didn't want to answer.
"The world belongs to the Son of Heaven, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, that is to say, Byzantium should be a vassal of the Celestial Empire, and Wang Ji is also a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the duty of a subject to be loyal to the Celestial Empire. Besides, this person has lived in Hangzhou for a long time, except for his appearance, where he is not a citizen of the Celestial Empire. Wang Xiu took out the Chinese to refute, but it was difficult to justify.
Zhao Chen's face looked much better, Wang Xiu's words made him happy, no matter what, he was the son of heaven and the emperor of the world. As for the Jurchens and Dangxiang, as well as the tribes of the grasslands and the South China Sea, he automatically filtered it and couldn't help asking, "I don't know if this person can be trusted."
"This person has already married and had children, and he has a big deal in Liangzhejiang Road." The first point is not very convincing, many Yi merchants have concubines and children, and the abandonment of their wives for power and wealth has emerged in an endless stream in successive dynasties.
The second point can be said to be a little bit of goods, it also depends on how big the business is, and it is big enough that people can't give it up.
"How much does this person have to make a living," Lu Hao asked without losing any time, and he also grasped the crux of the matter.
Wang Xiu groaned a little, and said without hesitation: "There are a few tea farms, and there are more than 100 fertile fields, engaged in the silk and porcelain industry, or expand his workshop." ”
Lu Haowen bowed his head slowly, and said lightly: "Since it is profitable, this person can barely be trusted." He let go of his worries, and the industry was attractive enough, and I believe that Wang Ji has his own discretion.
"Can't others give him huge profits, how can a villain like this mercenary take on a heavy responsibility." Xu Han's question is indeed universal.
An important reason is that businessmen do things with utilitarianism, and the concept of the family and country is extremely thin, and for the sake of rich interests, they can even sell the family and the country at a price.
This is not alarmist, but a story that has been seen in all dynasties, the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty repeatedly Koubian, the border land back to the Yi merchants is indispensable, and the Jurchens broke through Hebei, and there are also bad businessmen.
Wang Xiu was also very helpless, he once put forward the argument of triple profit, triple profit, enough for businessmen to trample on a qiē, and it is understandable that others doubted it. If Wang Ji is given enough benefits, it is really easy to say that this guy is going to be back, and he was originally uprooted from his hometown to seek wealth.
However, he was more concerned not with suspicion, but with a deep wariness of aliens, which eventually developed into hysteria, which is not impossible, but the reality of it.
The situation of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty was unfavorable, and the nomads developed to semi-nomadic and already had a sense of land. With the failure of several expansions of the imperial court, the land area of the guide zhì was narrow and could not be compared with the Han and Tang dynasties.
The Khitan suppressed for a hundred years, and then the Jurchen hurricane, the suppressed Great Song Dynasty regime was breathless, so that the morale continued to change, and science finally had a suitable soil for survival, in addition to an open heart, the scholars' thinking became more and more rigid
