After flipping through the roster submitted by Yao Yuanchong, Li Tong asked again: "Has the charter for the selection been drawn up?" ”

At present, he is indeed short of talents, but he does not plan to pack all the people who are put into use, he is not a garbage dump here, the necessary assessment still has to be had, and the standards must be very strict.

Yao Yuanchong nodded after hearing this: "At present, the scriptures, poetry, bow horses and other specialties are all taken from experts. As long as His Royal Highness teaches him, he can choose to raise funds in the near future. ”

Today's Yao Yuanchong can be regarded as entering the sequence of high-ranking officials in Southern Province, although he has not presided over the election of the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of War also has similar election behaviors, and he is no stranger to this set of regulations.

Of course, without the authorization of the imperial court, it is definitely inappropriate for them to engage in these things in Chang'an, at most they are holding some similar gatherings in the name of King Yong's private person, which must not be completely comparable to the imperial court.

After Li Tong looked through the charter, he nodded and said: "Let's do it, the candidates are waiting for their own homes, and they are not allowed to travel out of the city at will in the near future." ”

After finishing speaking, he saw Yao Yuanchong's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, so he smiled again: "Tell me something directly." ”

After hearing this, Yao Yuanchong took a deep breath and said, "Song joined the army in the camps outside the city recently, and it was quite unusual. The recruitment of cold soldiers in the special camp has made people complain. ”

Song Jing was recommended by Yao Yuanchong to King Yong, and of course he himself was quite optimistic about this young man's talent, but some of Song Jing's recent behaviors, in Yao Yuanchong's view, are not good or bad, the key is that they are out of place and too radical.

Originally, Yao Yuanchong didn't plan to talk about this topic in front of King Yong, he had hinted at Song Jing before, but Song Jing was still the same, especially not long ago, he handed over a list of Han Shi in the house, Yao Yuanchong felt that he still had to talk about it.

"It is true that there is no need to subdivide the talents. In particular, Xijing is in ruins, and it is necessary to recruit talents. Lord Xijing's family, powerful and powerful, I am afraid that they will not be able to concentrate on things, this is really a trouble, and it needs to be carefully examined and investigated. However, most of the people who were recorded and sent by the Song Dynasty were in the camp to treat crimes, confused right and wrong, faint of righteousness, and rashly conferred, after all, there was still something inappropriate. ”

Yao Yuanchong knew that Song Jing dared to do this, so he naturally got the permission of King Yong, and at the same time, he could also feel the resistance of His Royal Highness King Yong to these noble families in Xijing, and he was still tactful when he spoke, but he also had to express his opinion on this.

On the one hand, the Xijing people are obsessed with power and are keen on self-enrichment, but on the other hand, it is undeniable that their upbringing and talent are definitely stronger than the ordinary people.

Kannai Provincial officials, not to mention more, thousands of people are needed. If some people are excluded just because of their origins, it is not conducive to establishing effective control over the entire Kannai Province.

Not all of them are talented, but relatively speaking, the chances of qualified talents emerging among them are certainly not large.

Song Jing directly recruited talents in the chaotic private camps, at best, it lowered the standard of talent admission, and at worst, it directly shook the cohesion of the Yongwang family, after all, no one who has a little talent and discipline is willing to work with the prisoners.

And there is a more important point, that is, the main reason for the turmoil in Xijing is the guests who poured into Chang'an City from the surrounding countryside. No matter how cold and helpless these guests are, the damage they caused to Chang'an is real, and the local people of Chang'an hate the guests, which is human nature.

His Royal Highness King Yong has benevolence in his heart and gives relief to the troubled people, which is nothing. However, if the guests were recruited to serve as officials in the shogunate, in the eyes of the natives of Chang'an, it would be a naked cover-up.

If it is not handled well, the contradictions between the Turks and the Turks will be aggravated, and the next time it erupts, it may be even more serious turmoil.

After listening to Yao Yuanchong's statement, Li Tong was silent for a while, and only after a while did he speak again: "Previously, Song joined the army to talk about this matter, and he also stated the dispute between the Turks and the Turks. The future troubles of the local people and the guest people are indeed a key to whether Chang'an can recover. If this matter is not properly handled, it will inevitably suffer from internal friction and it will be even more difficult to have ambitions. ”

Chang'an is a narrow township, so the contradiction between the local people and the guest people is particularly acute. This is not just a question of household registration, but also involves the distribution of land and other productive resources, which is the basis for the long-term stability of a political regime.

Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing both noticed this problem and put it in an extremely important position, and Li Tong was not surprised by this.

Both of them were famous in the early Kaiyuan period, which laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Kaitian. In the future, the reason why Datang was able to quickly recover its national strength after experiencing the turmoil of Wuzhou and Zhongzong Dynasty one after another, and re-broke out of the territory to create a huge momentum, these two can be said to have made great contributions.

In addition to creating a relatively clear political ecology in the early Kaiyuan period, they also made an important contribution to solving this fundamental problem. Of course, it cannot be said that it has been resolved, because this contradiction has always existed in the agrarian regime, but it has been greatly alleviated during their term of office, and the foundation for the revival of national strength has been laid.

After Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing ousted the prime minister one after another, although there was still no shortage of famous ministers in the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, the distribution of production resources was far less powerful than these two people, and even the reason why Song Jing was ousted was because he offended the interests of the elite class and aroused public anger.

Although the successive prime ministers also had outstanding performances, none of them surpassed the social plans of Yao and Song.

Yu Wenrong, Pei Yaoqing and other money-grabbing experts came to power one by one, and even the traitor Li Linfu created a good policy to save administrative expenses and be emulated by later generations, but the improvement of national strength is far less than that of Yao and Song.

After the Anshi Rebellion, although the financial reform of Liu Yan, a generation of capable ministers, was fruitful, its focus was on the integration and dispatch of regional resources, and increased efforts in logistics.

As for the two tax laws implemented during the reign of Tang Dezong, although it was a milestone progress in the reform of the tax law, it also meant that the original ruling technology was no longer enough to maintain, and the imperial court had to open up financial resources on the premise of recognizing the distribution of existing social resources, and had lost the ability to redistribute social resources.

There is a core solution to the contradiction between soil and customers, that is, to fight local tyrants and divide the land. But this kind of Dafa should not be used lightly, because the key point is where your ass sits.

In his heart, Li Tong was of course willing to stand with the people, otherwise he would not have such a vicious attitude towards these magnates in Chang'an City. But the problem is that the masses of the people may not be willing to stand with him, or that the masses of the people at present are not strong enough to meet this change.

The most direct phenomenon is that there has been chaos in Chang'an City for more than a month, and these chaotic people can't even attack the eastern square area of Zhuque Street, where the powerful people live, and the only time they broke through is that more than a dozen nobles in Chang'an City opened the door to steal and prepare to lead the water to the west.

Ideological and organizational construction can't be done, and Li Tong is also very helpless.

He has not yet reached the height of invincibility in the world, and he also needs to continue to absorb and accumulate strength, otherwise if he wants to carry out this level of social reform alone, he will definitely be hit by the counterattack, and those people do not have the strength to protect and support him at the moment.

So when Song Jing proposed to recruit some talents among the chaotic people, Li Tong nodded and agreed, although he felt that something was wrong. If you want the people to gain support and protect his strength, early support and investment are indispensable. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and you must always take the first step.

Song Jing and Yao Yuanchong made separate statements, and what they discussed was the same issue, but their attitudes were a little-for-tat. It's not completely contradictory, but Song Jing is relatively more radical, and he thinks about the problem on the side of the guests.

As for Yao Yuanchong, he was relatively considerate of the local people, slightly conservative, hoping to be able to maintain the old order while slightly tilting the local people and suppressing the guest people.

These two attitudes are not about who is superior or inferior, nor is it a dispute of lines, but nothing more than a difference in importance. But when it comes to more timeliness, it is undoubtedly Yao Yuanchong. After all, whether it is seniority or political maturity, including the growth in the camp, Yao Yuanchong is higher than Song Jing.

Song Jing's current consideration is only to solve the problem of Tuke, but Yao Yuanchong's scope of consideration is wider, to let Chang'an restore order and re-energize as soon as possible, to ensure that His Royal Highness King Yong can further influence and control the armed groups in the frontier, and even return to the Shendu in the future, which needs to ensure that Guanzhong has a long-term stable hematopoietic ability.

If we want Guanzhong to resume stable development as soon as possible, we must not destroy the old order too much.

Speaking of this problem, Yao Yuanchong said with a straight face: "Although Guanzhong is in danger of being embraced, it is no longer the reality of heaven. The west and north are all the troubles of the henchmen, and there may be a dispute between the east and the Ding, this is the temporary realm, and it is by no means a long-term hometown, and the power is too deep in this place, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Li Tong was silent for a while after hearing this, he was not surprised that Yao Yuanchong had already seen through his careful thoughts, after all, the lice on the bald head were so clear no matter how fast they climbed.

"The people of the land and the people of the guests are all kings. Now they are attacking each other, but the guest people are weak after all, if I don't live, then the people may not be able to live. So what we want now is to let these two have their own gains, each with comfort. ”

In Li Tong's heart, of course, he also recognized Yao Yuanchong more, and the local people, whether it was taxes or soldiers, were a more stable group than the guest people.

But since he supported Song Jing, of course he would not change the order, and after thinking about it, he said to Yao Yuanchong: "When talking in the hall, it is always false, it is better to go out of the patrol camp and wait for the results?" ”
