378 Should I help or not?
After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingwei stopped talking nonsense, and immediately arranged, sent them the travel fare, and then let them go home.
Regarding the matter of the Tusi Territory, this is actually only the first step. There is a lot more that needs to be done.
These things are easier said than done.
It's not just empty talk, it's a matter of talent.
In this regard, Zhang Mingwei has thought about it for a long time, and he is really a little helpless.
The situation here in Shudi is very different from that in Kaifeng and Wuchang.
There are a lot of pacification divisions, recruitment divisions, this division, and that division. And these places were originally governed by Tusi and were outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The people here have developed the habit of many generations, and they only recognize the Tusi rather than the imperial court.
This is the case in Shudi, and even more so in Yunnan and Guizhou.
Such a situation is common in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. In order to solve the situation on the side of Shudi, we have to consider the situation in the southwest of the entire Ming Dynasty as a whole.
If it was just to defeat the rebels and thieves, to be honest, Zhang Mingwei could have raised troops to fight it a long time ago.
However, his ambition is to open peace, let the people of the Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no more civil strife, so that the Ming Dynasty can look at the world and participate in the Age of Discovery.
If it weren't for that, it would have been a waste of such a good opportunity to cross.
If it is said that those Tusi territories will be governed by the imperial court, Zhang Mingwei believes that it is estimated that many places may cause chaos again after a period of time.
I think that at the beginning, in the years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty conquered Annan and was directly governed by officials sent by the imperial court. As a result, there was a mess? Although later he was able to send troops to pacify.
But? Once the Ming Dynasty lived up to the heyday of the founding of the country, Annan was finally split.
But this time? The local magnates in Annam are vying for power? As a result of fighting each other, one of them dedicated Annan to Daming? Under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, nominally? It's the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
It's still messy over there? The imperial court ruled it only in name. One of Zhang Mingwei's future goals is to lead troops to walk there.
At this point, the conversation is a bit far-fetched.
In response to the situation in Shudi, Zhang Mingwei thought of a trick. After all, expect the imperial court to send the ability to govern the Tusi territory? And to govern well? That would be unrealistic.
Therefore, in the past, he was already asking Zhu Yujiao to select scholars at the Xiucai level and above, no matter what they originally did, mainly those who could read and write.
Takeo's side? The same should be had. By guerrillas in each army and below, 1,000 households and above? No matter what the background is, it will also be reviewed and selected by Zhu Yujiao.
Zhang Mingwei has only one request? Don't drink too much, just be patient.
………………
This is not? Picked out by the entire Chengdu Prefecture? Meets the requirements? That is, there are only thirty-one literati, most of them are talents, and some are even children. I can't help it, I can't find anyone.
On the Wufu side, there is no need to be literate due to the loss of requirements, otherwise, it is estimated that the number of people in one palm will be difficult to gather. Today, there are thirty-two.
They didn't know what was going on, but they only knew that they had been chosen by Princess Kunxing, and that must be a good thing.
However, when they were concentrated on the county school side of Chengdu Fuzhong, the literati saw the martial arts, and when the martial artists saw the literati, they became confused.
"What does this mean? Come to the county to study, is it possible that Her Royal Highness the Princess wants us to take a written test? ”
"What Her Royal Highness the princess did, it should have been ordered by the princess, come to the county to study, it must be related to Wenzhi!"
"Come on, come on, then you can explain and explain, what do these military leaders mean by coming here? Could it be that it has something to do with Bunji? ”
"It seems that they were also brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and they are estimated to have been selected by Her Royal Highness the Princess like us, what is the trouble?"
“……”
They can't figure it out, and Takeo's side can't figure it out either.
"My mother, what are you doing here? I'm most afraid of this kind of place! The skull hurts! ”
"Seeing that those people are not, they all look like literati, maybe Her Royal Highness the princess is asking them to teach us to read? Ahh ”
"It should be that Guogong has something for us to do, how can it be for us to read and write? This thief is not destroyed! ”
"Help, I don't want ......"
“……”
Just when there was a commotion in the county school square, like a vegetable market, suddenly there was a shout at the door: "Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived!" ”
As soon as they heard this shout, the people in the square, whether they were excited or complaining, all immediately quieted down, and the civil and military forces were divided into two parts, the one that was distinct, and welcomed the arrival of Princess Kunxing together.
Zhu Yujiao, who was wearing armor, under the escort of Zhou Liu's family, quickly appeared in front of them with a group of female soldiers.
Someone peeked in and found that many of the female soldiers were holding something. A little curious, but not daring to be presumptuous, I guessed in my heart, what the hell is that, should it have something to do with them being picked out?
After the ceremony, Zhu Yujiao stood in front of them and said to them generously: "Sir said, whether Shu can settle down, and even long-term peace and stability, will depend on your performance. If you don't want to govern the territory of the original Tusi, you can walk out of this gate now! ”
As soon as they heard this, these people were both expected and surprised.
Unexpectedly, because this is the meaning of Xingguo Gong, everyone can guess this.
And unexpectedly, they never expected that they would actually go to govern the territory of the original Tusi, which is equivalent to saying that they will be magistrates in the future, and they are also magistrates with high hopes!
If you were a Jinshi, it is estimated that no one would want to be an official in these poor and remote places. But these people are just showing off their talents, but they can become magistrates, and after their term of office expires in the future, can they be transferred to other places to become officials?
The most important thing is that if the fame is just a show, there is no qualification to be an official at all. Only the lifter may have it, and he has to go to the official department to wait in line for a vacancy.
Therefore, under this hearing, these literati are all overjoyed. Even if some of them felt urgent and wanted to go to the convenience, they forcibly held back, so as not to be misunderstood by Her Royal Highness the princess and thought that they didn't want to do it.
And those generals are naturally happy. It's like letting them take charge of themselves. The credit of the place is the credit of the family. If you are in the army, you are only at the level of a thousand households, and you are qualified to be in charge alone!
Under the joy, they all ignored the most crucial point in Princess Kunxing's words. That is, whether Shu can settle down, and even long-term stability, will depend on your performance.
But it doesn't matter, Zhu Yujiao reminded them in the next sentence: "However, for these former Tusi territories, how to govern them is good, which is different from ordinary places." If something happens, the consequences go without saying; But if you manage it well, your promotion will be very fast. ”
As soon as they heard this, they realized this, and many people immediately became worried again. The people in the Tusi territory are not convinced by the king, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Diao people. It is necessary to stabilize the place, and even to maintain peace and stability for a long time. All of a sudden, they felt a lot of pressure.
Seeing their expressions that turned from joy to worry, Zhu Yujiao smiled slightly and said: "But don't worry, Mr. has compiled a booklet, divided into two parts, both civil and military, and the content has similarities and differences, so you can take a look at it first." Wait a minute, Mr. Hui will come and answer your questions! ”
After finishing speaking, she waved her hand, and the female soldier who had been preparing for a long time distributed the things in her hand.
At this time, these literati and military generals realized that this was a thin booklet.
As soon as those literati heard that it was prepared for them by the prince, they immediately flipped it up and read it.
When I go out in the future, I cheekily say that I am a student of Guogong, and I am afraid that no one will dare to refute it, right?
And those generals were suddenly dumbfounded: the vast majority of them are illiterate!
So, one of them was bold and stammered a little and said to Zhu Yujiao: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I ...... I can't read, it's ......"
When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she replied with a smile: "Aren't there people around you who can ask for advice?" ”
When these generals heard this, they were a little dumbfounded, Her Royal Highness the princess is asking them to consult this group of literati? Will they be busy watching themselves, will they care?
However, no matter what you think, if you don't ask for advice, then you don't know what Guogong wrote, and you will be sad when Guogong comes.
As a result, there were brave generals, and regardless of the fact that these people were reading their contents, they had the courage to come over and ask for advice.
To be honest, at the beginning, the first reaction of these literati was to frown and want to excuse themselves. However, when they looked up, they found that Princess Kunxing was staring at them, so they swallowed the words of refusal immediately, and read them to the generals with some reluctance.
Fortunately, the content written by Xingguo Gong is all vernacular, and there is no need to break sentences, and those who don't have it will be okay, otherwise, they will die of a headache!
With the demonstration of the first pair, the generals behind will learn from each other, and hurry up to grab someone to ask for advice.
In this way, on the square of the county school, there are quasi-civil and military officials who are helping to study.
When Zhu Yujiao saw this scene, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile all over her face. As for the last military general who didn't find a literati to consult, she directly ignored it, who made him not proactive.
According to him, this is the first step in bridging the rift between the civilian and military forces. In short, it's better to do than not to do well!
The governance of the territory of the original Tusi requires the close cooperation of the civil and military forces.
She was thinking about it, and she was suddenly stunned. I saw that the last lone military general walked in front of a beautiful female soldier, and asked with a shy face, can you help him read it!
The female soldier was also a little dumbfounded, this situation was not expected in advance!
So should I help him, or not?
