From the beginning of the army, Xiao Ruxun focused on cultivating his own team of officials, absorbing talents and students from all over the country, and then sending them to the army as ideological instructors and land reform officials after education, on the one hand, to strengthen the control of the army, and on the other hand, to cultivate a new bureaucratic team with opposite interests to the traditional gentry.

On the other hand, it is a good candidate for grassroots officials to keep the outstanding people by their side to be clerks, to promote talents through close observation and assessment, and to make full use of the existing conditions to cultivate the ability of these young people to become grassroots officials.

The combination of experienced government officials, land reform officials, ideological teachers, and the government team that remained with Myanmar, together with the existing local government officials, will maintain a transition period for some time to come.

After the elimination of Shen Yiyi's control of the government, the southeastern gentry were almost suppressed by the land reform, and their economic foundation was gone.

The roots of the largest beneficiary groups and defenders of the existing imperial examination system will disappear, and the opposition of the scholars and grandfathers who have no foundation will be easily eliminated, and that is when the time will be for reform of the education system.

Fully absorb the existing foundation of scholars to train qualified officials and put them in the localities, slowly eliminate the old bureaucrats, establish a new way of personnel training during this period, train new officials, and then open the sea, go out, and devour the empty world.

This is the right way to break the curse.

While marching, Xiao Ruxun is designing his own future political blueprint, after the power of the old interest groups is basically wiped out by the land reform, it is not difficult to implement such a new system to pull up new interest groups, after breaking the old chains, the Ming Dynasty will see a new world.

To this end, he will not hesitate to erase the opponents and obstructors, and vigorously promote those who support the training, such as the 100 young people who strongly support Xiao Ruxun's reform of the education system, who have suffered from the imperial examinations and think that the new system implemented by Xiao Ruxun is too much for their appetite.

They then realized that only with the support of Xiao Ruxun could they get rid of poverty and humility in the political arena, and Xiao Ruxun was their only hope, so they were more eager than Xiao Ruxun to hope that this ideal could come true.

Among the 100 young people, there are three people who are often taken by Xiao Ruxun's side.

One is called Zhou Yao, one is called Zhao Xuan, and the other is called Chen Siqi.

Zhou Yao is a native of Guangdong, Xiucai, Zhao Xuan and Chen Siqi are all from Huguang, they are students, all three of them are children of the Han family, they are all twenty-six years old, they read four books and five classics until they have nothing, and they have read all the family foundations.

When Xiao Ruxun recruited literate people into the army to do errands, they were among them, and later after the successive tests and selections, they stood out and became the people who were concerned.

After joining the government affairs processing team, they came into contact with a lot of local government affairs, and Xiao Ruxun also tested them when they came to report the daily government affairs processing news, to see if they had the potential to be officials in the central government.

They also seemed to understand Xiao Ruxun's purpose for doing this, and took Xiao Ruxun's inquiry seriously, and after a period of time, Xiao Ruxun figured out their respective development directions.

Zhao Xuan is good at criminal names, is very interested in various types of dispute cases, has quick thinking, and is very good at reasoning; Chen Siqi, on the other hand, focused on agricultural affairs, and seemed to have had experience in farming, had a profound understanding of the peasants' sufferings, and deeply hated the misguided conduct of some local officials.

As for Zhou Yao, he seems to be more interested in finance, and he also asked Xiao Ruxun to learn the financial management methods within the Zhennan Army, which he learned quickly and can make targeted improvements, he is a good hand at managing accounts, and he also has a certain degree of understanding of people's hearts.

This seems to have something to do with his experience of being robbed of his family's fifty acres of land by the squire and his relatives after the death of his parents.

When Xiao Ruxun showed Li Wenyuan's letter to these three people before, Zhao Xuan and Chen Siqi both focused on the cruelty and chaos of the land reform, hoping that Xiao Ruxun would restrain him, while Zhou Yao noticed Li Wenyuan's questioning of Xiao Ruxun and thought that this person should be immediately demoted and punished, and could no longer be used.

Xiao Ruxun asked him the reason, he said, "This person dares to do one and dare to do two, this is not his business, he can't let him succeed, if he sets a precedent, he doesn't know what trouble he will have in the future, even if the handsome man is unhappy, his subordinates must say that this person must be severely punished."

It was at that time that Xiao Ruxun confirmed that Zhou Yao was not only good at managing finances, but also had what he needed most right now.

The heart of defensiveness and speculation of others.

Perhaps because he has been betrayed and hurt by someone he trusts, he is very sensitive and can detect any subtle malice, and this is very much needed for Xiao Ruxun, he needs such a person to help him analyze some things, after all, he was almost killed by Shen Yi's calculation because of his lack of precautions in this regard.

Although he has grown a lot after Shen's calculations, the more powerful he has and more supporters, the more uneasy he becomes, he knows that these people cannot be completely reliable, they each have their own purposes, they need power, so they follow the self who can provide them with power.

They think they can get what they want, so they follow them, and if they feel that they can't get what they want, they will inevitably have feelings of dissatisfaction and rebellion, and after eliminating Shen Zhengyi, the common enemy will be eliminated, and there will be internal disagreements.

At that time, they will know what Xiao Ruxun has done in the southeast, they will know that Xiao Ruxun has uprooted their foundation, at that time, what will they do?

Killing them all first is Xiao Ruxun's choice.

Prepare now.

Heishui had already begun to investigate the origins of the group of bureaucrats who followed Xiao Ruxun, their hometowns and their property conditions, and basically they had an estimate of whether they could unite or would definitely turn their faces, and they also sent letters to their hometowns, but they were all intercepted, and it was estimated that it would not take long for them to find out that something was wrong.

I don't know how long I can cover it up.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun very much needs someone who can plan this kind of thing for himself, whether it is Ye Mengxiong or Yuan Huang, they are both righteous and bright characters, and there has never been such a person around him, but now, he finds that he needs such a person very much, just like Ji Gang around Zhu Di.

Heishui is mostly used to spy on intelligence and monitor words and deeds, and does not have such a comprehensive function as Jinyiwei, if it wants to develop into an institution like Jinyiwei, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and at this time, Zhou Yao's appearance made Xiao Ruxun's eyes shine.
