Chapter 520: The Importance of the Western Regions (First Update)
Ying Gao immediately informed Fusu of the climate in the Western Regions, and after Lu Jia rejected Ying Gao's proposal to let him go to the Western Regions to be the county guard, Ying Gao immediately thought of Fusu, who had almost nothing to do with Daqin Nanhai County to get a character in his own hands, and now the Western Regions is just starting from scratch, in fact, it is not as big as the original Nanhai County in terms of the difficulty of governance.
After all, there were still many suspicious people and enemies of South Vietnam in Nanhai County, but now there are no enemies at all in the Western Regions, but the existing things have been straightened out, so that the first batch of people from the Peacock Dynasty to come over can be integrated into the laws and policies of Great Qin.
Of course, when the Mauryan Empire really became part of the territory of Great Qin in the future, the Western Regions would also assume the role of the only land route between the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty and Great Qin.
At that time, there will be a lot of merchants and materials coming and going, plus half of the territory is Xiongnu's, so it still takes a very high level of ability to manage such a place, and it is really difficult to play without such experience as Fusu.
And for this matter, Yinggao is worried about whether Fusu's body can adapt to such a huge difference, in fact, there is no county guard in the Western Regions, and the matter of Yinggao's heart is already 100,000 urgent, according to his previous thoughts, if Fusu is directly transferred from Nanhai County to the Western Regions, but it is better than returning to Xianyang City and then to the Western Regions, I don't know how much time is left.
But the difference in climate between Nanhai County and the Western Regions is too great, so Yinggao didn't take that risk, because according to his understanding, when he was in Xianyang City, Fusu was a weak scholar, and his body may be worse than himself.
"Why can't you be competent, after all these years of experience in Nanhai County and Nanyue, I am no longer the powerless son who was in Xianyang City before, you don't have to worry about this matter, if you are in a hurry, I can set off for the Western Regions tomorrow."
When Fusu finished saying this, Yinggao subconsciously looked at Fusu's body, and found that he hadn't paid attention before, but now he looks at it like this, except that the face is still similar to before, Fusu does not know how much more burly than Fusu in his previous impression, obviously he has changed from a scholar to a guy who can get in and out of the picture.
"In this way, I can rest assured, once my brother has any strengths and weaknesses in a bitter cold place like the Western Regions, I can't explain to my brother's wife and the sons of my Ying clan! If my brother thinks that the 50,000 horses you brought back can adapt to the bitter cold of the Western Regions, then take them directly to the Western Regions, if not, my brother can leave them in the camp on the outskirts of Xianyang City, and then select 50,000 people from the defenders of Xianyang City to take them away. ”
At this time, Fusu knew what Yinggao wanted to bring back 50,000 people, according to Yinggao's statement, now only a few hundred people led by Lu Jia in the Western Regions are regular troops, and when the Xiongnu tribes really migrate to the Western Regions, it is impossible for Daqin not to have a complete garrison.
Therefore, these 50,000 people, even if they are the permanent garrisons of the Western Regions, and their task is definitely not light, the immigrants of the Mauryan Empire, and the caravans that may travel between Great Qin and the Mauryan Empire in the future are under their jurisdiction.
"This matter still allows me to discuss with a few lieutenants in the Nanhai County army before making a decision, the king can be relieved, and I will set off with 50,000 elite soldiers in ten days!"
Speaking of which, Fusu has completely accepted the position of the county guard of the Western Regions, and there is no trace of mud and water, compared with before, not only is the official position a county guard, but there are also a lot more trivial things.
Yinggao knew that with Fusu's political consciousness, he should be able to see the deep meaning of his arrangement, and in a few years, the Western Regions will definitely not be as simple as just a county, the tasks it undertakes are diverse, and the role it plays is also extremely important, if it is handed over to others, Yinggao will definitely not be at ease.
After sending Fusu away, Ying Gao exhaled deeply, the completion of this matter can be regarded as a temporary relief for him to relieve his urgent need, but now Daqin's court is actually very embarrassing, every day the court seems to be a large area of available people in Wuyang and Wuyang, but these people are basically all icing on the cake and not enough to send charcoal in the snow.
Not to mention that they still can't look down on their ability, even if they can look at it, let them go to the Western Regions, they must be some kind of eighty-year-old mother, there are children waiting to be fed, such a thing as waiting to be fed.
And this time, the officials who were sent to the Western Regions according to Xiao He's recommendation in advance, although their positions were not high, but they all had a characteristic, that is, they were not born nobles, and they were relatively not very old in terms of age, they themselves may not know, and when they mature under the leadership of Fusu in the future, there will definitely be a place for them in the important towns of the Mauryan Dynasty.
Although the matter in the Western Regions was solved with Fusu's happy consent, Yinggao knew that he had fallen into a situation of being overstretched in terms of employing people, and if such a situation appeared again in the future, it was estimated that he would be in a situation where no one was available, so through the occurrence of this incident, Yinggao gradually made up his mind that there was something he had already thought about in his heart, and it was time to start implementing it.
This matter may cause many nobles to oppose it, but Yinggao is not afraid, after all, since he won the Western Regions and laid down the Peacock Dynasty, his reputation can be said to be in full swing, and this is a good time to propose a new policy, and now taking advantage of the few days when a heavyweight player like Fusu is temporarily in Xianyang City, it can deter many old Daqin nobles.
Just do it, the day after Yinggao summoned Fusu, Fusu was brought to the main hall of Xianyang Palace by Yinggao, originally thought that there was something unfinished about yesterday's matter, but as soon as they met, Yinggao was a little embarrassed to open his mouth.
"Brother back to Xianyang, it is really very rare, I want to take this opportunity to implement a new policy on the territory of Daqin, and I hope that my brother can participate in the court in two days, if some nobles in the court want to refute, it will be a lot easier to have my brother in the middle to buffer, otherwise, my notoriety among the old Qin nobles will not be able to dissipate for a while!"
When Fusu heard this, he said in his heart, didn't he want me to give him a platform? But after thinking about it again, he also knew that Yinggao had always had a bad relationship with those old Qin nobles, and after the implementation of the previous new policy, he rectified many old Qin nobles through Lu Jia, and even some people went to the guillotine because of this matter, and some people are still building the Great Wall because of this matter.
At that time, there were indeed old Qin nobles who sent letters to Nanhai County, complaining to Fusu with snot and tears against Yinggao's Wudao, but of course Fusu would not participate in this kind of thing, so he definitely didn't care about those letters, let alone replied.
"Since the king thinks that my brother is of some use, I will naturally follow what the king said, but what is the matter of this matter, I hope the king will tell me one or two!"
Although Fusu is a high-ranking courtier, but people also have their own principles for doing things, and back then, it was a person who even dared to contradict the angry First Emperor, so it was definitely okay for him to help, but the unexplained busy Fusu would definitely not help.
"Brother may already know, in the realm of my Great Qin, the opening of the lecture hall has been a certain number of years, through the lecture halls in these various counties, many young people from the Qianshou family have also begun to learn from the full learner, now that this matter is on the right track, I want to make this matter go further!"
"How to go further?"
"I want to make use of those young people who have already learned something, choose people with excellent knowledge and loyalty to my Great Qin, and give them official positions after some examinations, so that they can exercise one or two in the various counties or courts of my Great Qin, and eventually they will become the mainstay of my Great Qin court in a few years or even more than ten years!"
As soon as Fusu heard this, he understood why Yinggao had to let him go to the court to stand on the platform, those young people that Yinggao said were undoubtedly all children of ordinary people, and once such an assessment began, it would directly destroy the precedent of noble disciples going directly to Daqin as officials.
This is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the noble disciples, to put it mildly, it is a matter of cutting off people's incense, even if Yinggao is the emperor, it is estimated that when this policy comes out, the opposition will definitely be quite large, as for how big it is, it is not necessarily.
"Then I don't know how the king is going to test these people, and what should be the scale of the recruitment?"
"At that time, I will personally come up with the questions by Taiwei He, Zuo Xiang and others, let them answer in the county, and select the best ones to Xianyang for the second round of examinations, and finally I will personally select the outstanding ones, this first time, at most the number will not exceed fifty, if I am not satisfied with their knowledge, it may be even less than this number, after all, the lecture hall system has only just started for a few years, and everything still has to be done step by step."
When Fusu heard this, he knew that Yinggao already had a very complete plan in his heart, almost to the point of waiting to be announced, so he thought about it slightly and asked his last question.
"I wonder if this time, will the monarch allow those noble disciples to participate in the examination?"
"That is naturally allowed, I have no grievances with the nobles of Great Qin, as long as the young people in their clan are talented and can serve my Great Qin, I am naturally welcome."
"Okay, if any nobleman refutes this matter in the court, Fusu will definitely reprimand the king! Your Majesty just arrange it! ”
With Fusu's words, Yinggao's face suddenly showed a very happy look, although Fusu's own plan would definitely be able to be implemented, but he knew that this would cause the Great Qin nobles to hate him even more, although Yinggao didn't care very much about whether they hated themselves or not, but if he could ease relations with them who were the mainstream in Xianyang City, why wouldn't Yinggao be happy?
After sending Fusu away, Yinggao summoned Xiao He, Lu Jia and other people to his main hall, obviously, he wanted to turn the ideas in his head into implementable copywriting.
In fact, this idea is still very simple, just like the imperial examination in later history, but in this era, it must coincide with this era.
And Yinggao is a pragmatic person, naturally he won't go to the school to take the exam for those complicated things that waste time and are useless, of course, these are all details, he just wants to give the method of implementing this matter today.
Xiao He, Lu Jia and others had actually heard Yinggao talk about this a long time ago, but they only mentioned a few words at the beginning, but today they were suddenly about to start implementing it, which really caught them off guard.
"Your Majesty, this matter will take at least a few months from release to implementation, so why not wait until the Mauryan Dynasty is over......"
As soon as he heard that Yinggao was about to announce the plan for this matter, and it would be announced in the court of Daqin two days later, Xiao He couldn't help but remind in a low voice that now is the time for the whole country to celebrate, and suddenly implementing such a plan will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people, which has to be said to be a bad impact for Yinggao who has just attacked the Peacock Dynasty.
"This matter is obviously not in conflict with the matter of the Peacock Dynasty, there are fewer and fewer people in my Great Qin Dynasty who can share the worries of me and Great Qin, let's just say that this Western Regions, one by one, is afraid that they will be sent by me, for such people, I naturally can't send them to the Western Regions, but their days in the Great Qin Dynasty are afraid that there will be fewer and fewer people."
A few of them glanced at each other at this time, and found that Yinggao was likely to want to exchange blood for the court of Xianyang Palace, and this was done to prepare for the exchange of blood, this kind of thing is not something they can control, and what they can do now is to cooperate with Yinggao to complete this matter, instead of saying anything uncomfortable.
