Chapter 169: Interview
There are not too many questions, there are only thirty in total, but considering various circumstances, Li Xin specially gave enough time. Two hours is enough for them to complete these questions.
The hall was very quiet, and in the end, no one withdrew, and everyone began to bury their heads in answering questions. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and it was just noon. Li Xin arranged for someone to take them down to eat, while he read the rolls while eating.
"Overall, these people's writing is good, and if they are used as scribes, they are all qualified!" After a rough look, Li Xin's first impression was like this.
But there are many things that he is not satisfied with, such as a lot of papers, and some questions that are left vacant and not answered. Needless to say, the topics that vacate the most are naturally those that are closest to the lives of ordinary people.
"Huang Lao's learning, pure and inactive? Sling the bull! In such an era, in such a world, what is the difference between doing pure and inaction and looking for death? ”
"Severe punishment? This is trying to do the Legalist set! Although the things of the Legalists are powerful, how many years has Qin Shi Huang been dead! It's really not a long memory! ”
"Huh? Recruit squires and make friends with noble families? I'm afraid this person is not from a big family! Why don't you go to Jiangzuo? That's what kind of talent is needed over there! ”
"The first priority is the people, the people are the foundation, and the people are resting! That's a good point, write it down first! ”
.......
Li Xin watched it for a while, and his mood fluctuated like a roller coaster. There is no way, what these people say in the answer to the question on the paper, it is really strange, and there are people who say anything.
And some of these people's answers, although they seem to be very reasonable, or very in line with the mainstream consciousness of this era, but for Li Xin, it is difficult to accept.
So much so that after seeing half of it, he didn't even eat, and just sulked there. After all, I still have high expectations for this recruitment, but I didn't expect this result, of course, I was disappointed.
"Hey, why am I angry? These people are just famous, or rather, they do have real talents, but they don't fit my opinion. If it's really that bad, it's a big deal! After getting angry for a while, he enlightened himself again.
After all, he still has to face the reality that where he is now is no longer the world thousands of years later. As time passes, many of our own concepts should also change.
"Go and call this person in! I'm going to see him in person! After reading all the answer sheets, Li Xin said to Tu Qi on the side.
Fortunately, among the 32 test papers, there are still some people with real talents. In this regard, even if it is just a talent, Li Xin is very happy.
"Grass people Du Kai, I've seen the general!" Soon, a young man about twenty-eight ~ nine years old walked in from outside and bowed.
"Excuse me! You may be seated! "The other party is not his subordinate after all, so Li Xin is more polite to him.
"Don't dare, just stand still!" The visitor looked a little reserved, standing still and did not move.
Li Xin didn't urge him, and carefully looked at the man in front of him. It can be seen that his life should be okay, although he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, there are not many patches, and he is quite cleanly washed.
The whole person from top to bottom is also clean and neat, not the kind of informal, sloppy look. Coupled with being quite polite, Li Xin's first impression of him is still very good.
"Du Kai, the word Kuiwen, Feng Yi Xia Yangren! lost his father since he was a child, and only one old mother was left in the family, who was sick in bed, and he had relied on him to take care of him all these years. On weekdays, he makes a living by collecting firewood, and goes into the river to catch fish and sell them on the street, and there is a name for loyalty and filial piety in the county. In addition to maintaining the necessities of life, study hard and become self-taught? While looking at the person in front of him, Li Xin looked at the information about this person that Tu Qi had collected.
These people who came this time, after Li Xin got the list, he asked Tu Qi to go down immediately and verify it. The main thing is to let myself know more about these people!
After all, he is not a saint, and it is impossible to see all these people thoroughly as soon as they meet, and understand the good and bad character of each other clearly.
Du Kai stood below, looking directly at Li Xin, but he didn't have the intention of avoiding it, from this point of view, he was still quite courageous. However, he obviously didn't know what Li Xin was thinking at the moment, and he didn't know what he would do next, so he had to wait.
"I've read your answers, you've answered all the questions, and every question is basically very detailed. Especially in two of the questions about prices, I see that your answers are also divided into morning, noon and evening. It can be seen that you should be very close to life on weekdays. After a little bottom in his heart, Li Xin took out his scroll and said.
"The grass people were born poor, they were just ordinary people, no different from others. Therefore, these trivial things in daily life are naturally known! Du Kai replied.
In fact, he didn't expect that this assessment would test such a question, for him, this is almost the same as sending a score question. Fortunately, it wasn't all like that, otherwise, it would have been too easy for him to answer this time.
"Well, let me ask you, if you were to be in charge of a county, how would you govern?" Nodding, Li Xin asked again.
Although there is such a topic, Li Xin wants to hear him talk about it in person, or he wants to hear if he has any other opinions.
"As the grass people said in the test paper, whether it is governing the county or the county, it should be people-oriented. If there are people, there are counties, and if the people flee and the land is empty, then what use do you need officials? The land of Guanzhong has been fighting endlessly for many years, and all parts of the country are withered and barren! Therefore, the first move is naturally to enrich the counties. And to do this, according to the grass people's thoughts, we should recruit displaced people from all over the country, stabilize the people's hearts, and make them feel at ease in farming, so that the environment can be stable and the government treasury can be full! Du Kai said slowly.
"Since you have been living in Xiayang County, you should know that this is what you have always done under the rule of the Huashan Army~! Do you have any other ideas? Li Xinke was not very satisfied with this answer, so he asked directly.
"Yes, for more than a year, what Huashan Jun has done has been witnessed below, and he is also one of the beneficiaries. It is precisely because of this that Zai Xia is willing to be called by the general to come! The customs and geographical advantages of each county are different, so the grass people think that those who are the parents of a county should depend on the situation! Make the best use of a county's geographical advantages, make good use of the customs of a county, and do not treat everyone equally, and stick to the fate of the confusion! Hearing this, Du Kai didn't think much about it and arched his hand.
"Well, that's a good thing to say! The fact that you can think of this shows that you put your heart into it. Many people think that being an official is the same, no matter where they go, they use the same means, so how can it work! For this answer, Li Xin really glanced at him and couldn't help but praise.
"General Xie's compliment!" Du Kai is not sad or happy, and looks quite calm.
"Go down first! I'll give you two days, and when you go back, write a detailed essay on how to govern a county. Of course, I hope this is done by yourself! At this point in the conversation, Li Xin didn't plan to ask, but he had made up his mind to stay.
"Yes! The grass people take the order! It's just that the grass people have been in Chang'an for a long time, and they are a little worried about the old mother at home, so I don't know if they can let the grass people go home to complete the policy? Hearing this, Du Kai said with some embarrassment.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will send a fast horse to Xiayang later, and order the county government to send someone to take care of your mother's daily life." Li Xin admired his filial piety, so he said to him.
"Caomin thanked the general for my mother, I will definitely complete the strategy as soon as possible and hand it over to the general for review!" These words finally relieved Du Kai, and he hurriedly bowed down and said. After that, he slowly withdrew from the main hall.
Although Li Xin didn't ask much, he wanted to use these simple questions to see a person's general ability. Of course, this simple method may not be exhaustive, but for him, it is the best and most direct way to understand these people.
If you are satisfied, you may be entrusted with important tasks for these people, and if you are not satisfied, you will naturally be out. After Du Kai left, Li Xin put Du Kai's roll on the other side, and at the same time, circled his name on the list.
"Next!" After doing this, he shouted outside.
During the interview, there were only two people in the hall, he and the interviewee, and Tu Qi was also waiting outside. Therefore, he had to shout to do it.
Soon, a man came in again from outside. The person who came in this time was much older than Du Kai, and it looked like he was in his forties. Wearing a linen shirt with a scarf on his head, he looks quite thin, with a long beard under his chin, and has a good temperament.
"Grass people Ren Tong, meet the general!" Come and salute.
"No courtesy, please take a seat!" Li Xin nodded and said. Then, I looked through this person's information.
This Ren Tong is from Shiping County, and he is from Kuaicheng. That place is near Baoji City in later generations, and it is relatively close to the Great Earthquake Pass. According to the information collected by Tu Qi, this person used to live in seclusion in the Qinling Mountains, supporting himself and cultivating himself.
Moreover, this person is quite famous in the local area, and when Fu Jian was alive, he sent people to summon him out of the mountain many times, but he did not agree. This time it actually came out, which made Li Xin feel a little strange.
"Mr. Boyang cultivates and studies to support his family, and has repeatedly refused Fu Qin's recruitment, and now he is called to come, which really flatters Li!" After thinking for a while, Li Xin looked at the other party and said.
