Chapter 92: Accumulation (Text)
The next day, I received the good news that the two regiments we had recruited on the way had arrived safely in Canton by sea, and that they had arrived with a large number of supplies collected along the way.
In this process, Qian Shuining, the head of the former footman, played a very important role, and with his experience and prudence, he completed the task of assisting and leading the team to follow up.
Although after arriving in Guangfu, a small half of these people spontaneously dispersed for various reasons, and the rest of the people were also fluctuated because of the news of the threat of the rebels, and they ran away a lot overnight.
But the remaining 200 or so people were still brought into my industry and settled down temporarily, or they were sent to supervise them inside and outside.
Of course, the loyalty and reliability of most of them will take time to develop, but for now I can only rely on coercion to maintain and maintain the basic head.
But in any case, this group of human resources is an important addition to me, although it still has to be divided into a part for the enigmatic creature.
According to my plan, these people who have already arrived will be given priority to those who have skills and expertise, or professional experience, and are divided into two categories: life and production.
Then I was scattered and dispatched to various livelihoods and properties under my name, and some of them were directly placed in the property as new helpers and clerks, and those who were not in the property were first put in the property to be a servant and handyman who cleaned the door. In the future, we will make plans, and then the elderly of the bank will help and supervise them, which can be regarded as a preliminary settlement
This group of people who came halfway to find them have quite a variety of occupations and specialties, including carpentry, hardware workers, bricklayers, leatherworkers, langzhong, pharmacists, musicians, post masters, cooks, and other popular occupations, as well as winemakers, sauce and vinegar masters, swordsmiths, and witch occupations such as castrated human and animal craftsmen, and witch occupations.
So it took a lot of effort to settle it. In the process of leading the team, Cui Tuzi and Yan Jiu'er also have a group of subordinates, although they may not be the most suitable candidates, and they lack experience or anything, but the people available to me are just that, I can only let them run in slowly, and then adjust according to the situation.
In contrast, the rest of the people are much simpler.
The rest, mainly those who were relatively able-bodied, were organized into several auxiliary teams to provide various transportation and other logistical labor for the periphery of the training camp and the port.
If you can ensure the treatment of food, clothing, accommodation and labor remuneration, and do not let them have idleness, you can basically avoid and suppress all kinds of cranky thoughts and changes, and then slowly transform them from the personal heart and daily inertia.
This is also my experience in human resource management in this time and space.
Of course, the common characteristics are that they were coerced and coaxed by me to sign the relevant deed, or sell out the future.
In this world, this kind of thing that seems to take advantage of people's danger is very common. Not to mention the coastal people who were plundered and sold by the sea clan in the mountains, that is, the northerners who came to the mountains, if they had no money to live in, most of them were recruited by the local wealthy families to join the fate of the shady households.
As long as it is done after a period of time, it can be regarded as a household as a household after the master's family goes to the government to make a name registration, but it is more as a hidden black household registration, in those private grange plantations for a lifetime, and then its descendants can be left as family children.
And as the identity of the prince of the Luo Domain, it has also become a catalyst for strengthening and urging their determination, although it is also a sell-off, but to live in a little-known country tyrant, or to take refuge in the heir of a sea domain, the future and the motivation to run are completely different.
As long as I compare with the general standard and raise the salary and expectations a little, it is easy for me to temporarily stabilize people's hearts. In this way, in the place where I can't see, my strength has grown a little more.
When I went home after inspecting the various reception sites, I found people waiting in the gatehouse.
A package from Kodansha was also delivered to me, and the last bit of influence as the founder reached me after a delay of some time.
It is not something that cannot be seen in the light, it is just a compilation of some digests and newspaper clippings, bound into several large volumes, mainly focusing on the various news summaries centered on Guangfu in the years after I left, and also alluding to some political, economic and military changes and trends.
Let me watch it with relish,
For example, in the Imperial Court of Shangcheng Luochengzi, the contemporary Daxiangguo, who presided over the great politics of the shogunate, has not been in good health in recent years, so he has already appointed his successor Ning Haigong as the Shangzhu State and the general of the chariot and cavalry in the Shangcheng Luochengzi Imperial Court, and the political affairs hall with all the Pingzhang, political participation, and servant shooting are on the right, and there is a great intention to train the successor in advance
With the Duke of Ninghai, who was in the prime of life, gradually appeared more and more as an agent, appearing in public places such as five-year school reviews and imperial inspections, and some political rookies and young upstarts gradually emerged in the political arena.
For example, the Guizhou Ning family, which is related to Mrs. Chen, has successively produced a young Zhongshu Sheren in recent years, a freelancer and a deputy secretary of the Shaofu, although the political positions and factions are different, but everyone knows what is going on.
Tong guò These official posts that perform their duties are also faintly revealed, active in the Guangfu government and the opposition, large and small, dozens of political families, related to hundreds of local families and wealthy family surnames, from different regions, various industries and fields of interest appeals, vague political tendencies.
Eventually, it converged into a political pattern in the court, and with the subtle changes in the attitude and stance of the shogunate, there were various ups and downs.
In contrast, the Luo clan clan I was born in, among the close clans called Yaba, is considered the most low-key, and in addition to the routine performance of the clan in the clan over the years, there is almost no sense of zài in Guangfu.
In addition, it is the news of last year's Guangfu Science Selection, among which there are 13 Jinshi, 22 are from the same Jinshi, and 45 are prepared.
Among them, the academy led by the Guangfu University Hall accounted for about two and a half percent, although the number has increased, but it is mainly concentrated in the stage of the same jinshi, and there are only two jinshi, which is also a low tide of the academy over the years.
Born in the two sea provinces, the scholars who are exempt from the election and recommend the direct examination, occupy the remaining two percent, including four jinshi, compared with the huge recommendation reference base, but they are dragged down by the uneven level of teacher education in the various sea domains, in addition to the comprehensive consideration of some regional political trade-offs.
Like the big island of Borneo where I am located, I am more familiar with the civilized East Borneo Road, which must have more advantages than the West Borneo Road, but the proportion of the past years is somewhat opposite.
Then there are the local seven roads outside the Ling, which have passed the three levels of the township examination, the county examination, and the ministry examination, accounting for about forty percent, and it is also the real head and mainstream of the imperial examinations in the past dynasties, but the proportion has been declining insignificantly;
And in the end, the remaining one and a half are all kinds of grace Qingwang special cases in the rank of miscellaneous selection, there is only one Jinshi, two Jinshi, but almost half of the preparation, from a certain Cheng dù, this kind of Jinshi, the gold content is greater.
Because compared to those candidates who specialize in studying, they have more or less practical experience, or specialties in related fields, and even have a story of being born from the lowest level of officials, and then being specially ordered by the shogunate to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven.
Of course, because of the limitations of their origins, the level that their efforts can reach is generally to the state and county seal officials, or the practical deputy positions of temple supervisors, except for a few cases, it is almost impossible to go further, because they will inevitably be excluded and suppressed from the above three groups.
In the same year, 54 people were subsidized and 131 officials were donated, a new high compared with the past.
It's okay to be a shadow supplement, but he was only born as a jinshi, and if he is a donor or recipient, he can only serve as a deputy under some states, or a miscellaneous assistant and a foreign official of the Taibu temple supervisor in Jinai Province.
In addition, the current officials who were born in the imperial examination and the current officials who have accumulated from natural circulation seem to be quite impressive, but they are nothing in the vacancies caused by the natural flow of nearly 100,000 internal officials in the Southern Dynasty.
The main reason is the difference between beauty and evil in the near and far, and the barren positions in Yuanzhou are naturally inferior evil officials, even if they are increased by one or two ranks or reduced by the grind, no one may go, because the snake, insect and miasma plague, the scourge of indigenous conflicts, is rampant, and the probability of dying in office is not small.
And the closer they are to Guangnan, the more high-ranking and high-ranking beautiful officials in the rich land are so hot that they compete to break their heads.
For example, Fuyuan Prefecture on West Borneo Road, where my home is located, is considered a kind of medium and minor ministry, as a pro-people official appointed by the imperial court, as long as the relationship between local vassals is handled well, you can finish a term smoothly, and then find a way to transfer to another place, or drop out on the spot.
Therefore, for the general public who lack background and political demands, seeking officials has also become an investment activity full of commercial significance, and all kinds of joys and sorrows are constantly being staged.
Therefore, an important channel for Kodansha's day-to-day business is to provide information on the corresponding fees to these large number of speculators or alternate officials, and in the fiercely competitive officialdom, there is no need to worry about no one buying.
Kodansha's successive editions of the "Chronicles of the Official Gentry" are also one of the most popular publications, in which you can find something to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, or to keep warm in a group.
It's a pity that the pure time I spent reading didn't last long.
"Someone from the domain?"
Hearing the doorman's announcement, I rubbed my forehead a little tiredly, thought about it, called the only guard, stood in the vital position of the foyer, and put the crossbow in the hidden position a few times, and then brought in the person.
Then I was stunned, but what I saw was an old man and an uncle with excited expressions, calling in unison.
"Young Master ......"
"The ...... of the Eldest Prince"
With their different names, it also reminds me of the different identities and positions they represent.
The bald uncle who shouted "Young Master" was surnamed Cai Mingliao, and he was a hardcore supporter of my former retainers, one of the three former county secretaries, and a traditional faction of doctors among the scholars.
And the old man called the eldest prince is from "my" maternal uncle's house in East Borneo, and the old family Chu Boai, who has always been in charge of the correspondence, has visited even more times since he was a child than "me", the cheap father who is the lord of the domain.
After a few words of greeting according to instinct and memory, he finally suppressed the catharsis of the two of them, and let them return to reality from the memory of the past.
"It's so basic,"
Chu Boai almost snorted through his nostrils
"Nothing......"
"It was just called a study tour before......"
Cai Liao also agreed
"My sister-in-law of the Luo family, how can I live in this kind of snailly alley for a long time......
"I think it's okay......"
I rubbed my nose in disgust.
"Young master, you are so kind and accommodating......"
"Although some people in the court always laugh at the people of our inner feudal family, they lack the ...... of etiquette."
"But as a basic pomp and decency, it still needs to be ......"
"Wen's eldest son returned safely, and I couldn't help but feel relieved,"
"We, the old courtiers, also have the backbone......"
"The young master's caution, I am ...... by understanding"
"Therefore, this time, I only brought some men and goods from your Ah Weng's house, hoping to come in handy
"The workshop and utensils you used are also brought with you......
Seeing the two of them holding my hand, a little old tears, and eager expressions competing to speak, I couldn't help but think of Chu Bai who died unexpectedly, and I really felt a lot of emotion.
To be honest, although I have accepted most of my predecessor's resources, I have been subconsciously avoiding people and things related to my predecessor.
