Compared with the military arrangement, politically, Yang Yi is extremely stretched.

The local officials are slightly better, after all, whether it is Gao Zuozhen or Yang Yi and Tao Yong's competition, they are all controlled in Chengzhou City, but because of this, the high-ranking officials in Shuzhong almost died out in the two melees.

This itself is the result of Yang Yi's deliberate effort, purging Tao Yong and Gao Zuozhen's main supporters, so that he can smoothly grasp the power in Shuzhong, but he did not expect to cause a situation where Yang Yi is now unavailable, which also proves a truth, everything is both good and bad.

At present, the only way is to urgently transfer a group of more practical people from the local officials to fill the vacancies temporarily, such as Qian Shao, the county commander of the southern county, and other magistrates of the older generation, although they are not enterprising, but they are more than successful.

After listening to Yang Yi's suggestion, Liu Wenzheng dragged his chin with his right hand and frowned: "Your Highness, with such a large-scale transfer of magistrates, how can the vacancies in the local area be filled?" ”

"It's easy, let's take an exam!" Yang Yi could only think of this simple and crude method.

Liu Wenzheng was taken aback, and said suspiciously: "Your Highness, are you going to hold a scientific expedition?" That's not something that can be done overnight. ”

Yang Yidao: "Of course, you don't have to do it completely according to the scientific examination, it's too troublesome, as long as you do a general examination, the topic is not just a simple scripture avenue or something like that, you need more practical and close to the people's livelihood, because we are electing magistrates, not prime ministers." In addition, Lao Liu will preside over a lift. ”

Seeing that Liu Wenzheng was puzzled, Yang Yi said again: "The general examination is to absorb talents in the entire Shuzhong, a wide range of talents, whether it is a commoner or a scholar, as long as there is talent and learning, you can enter the office through this way, which can not only inspire the people, but also recruit talents." However, since then, those famous families may have a lot of dissatisfaction, thinking that I have despised the Shu sergeant clan. ”

Liu Wenzheng suddenly said: "Your Highness is right, the children of the scholar clan think very highly of themselves, and they may not be too willing to go to a group of poor children for a long time." ”

Yang Yi pursed his lips and said: "To be honest, although I was born as a prince, I am really not too interested in those so-called famous families, eight out of ten are gentle, I can't afford to raise that kind of useless person." ”

"But Your Highness, even if you know that those scholars have no talents, you can't completely reject them, otherwise we will be squeezed out by the Shu sergeant class."

Yang Yi nodded and said: "That's why I asked you to make a recruitment, that is, some talented and learned scholars will be recommended by local people, and we will entrust them with official positions." Of course, these people also need you and me to secretly investigate, and the really talented ones can also be given heavy responsibilities, if they are the kind of people who eat and wait for death, they will be temporarily thrown into idle posts, and then slowly cleaned up when the regime is stable in the future. ”

Liu Wenzheng asked again: "What about this side of the business journey?" ”

Yang Yi sighed and said, "Let's put this side aside for the time being, let my uncle take care of it first, and then comb it when I have my hands free." ”

This is a method that Yang Yi came up with after careful consideration, now that there is a shortage of talents, many political affairs are stagnant, and he originally planned to let Liu Wenzheng preside over one of the business, because there is no one, he can only let him grasp the two in command together.

"It's easy to fight the country, but it's difficult to defend the country, and the ancients didn't deceive me."

After a whole day of meetings, Yang Yi sat with a sore back, thinking that he would be able to live a leisurely and comfortable life when he became the king of Shu, but who knew that he would be countless times more fortunate than going to work in his previous life.

It wasn't until dusk that all the officials and generals took their orders to leave, but in addition to fatigue, everyone's faces were more faintly excited, because this new Shuzhong was waiting for everyone to open, and everyone had the opportunity to show their strengths

"Brother Naigu, you can stay and have two drinks." Yang Yi said to Shamanai, who was sitting on the chair and did not move.

Shama Naigu smiled and said unceremoniously: "If you don't say it, I will also stay and beg for a glass of wine." ”

Shamanagu is a very smart man, although at today's meeting, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he is considered the biggest winner today. However, Shamanagu basically did not show much excitement and arrogance, and did not even make much speech, but modestly hoped that the people would support him.

As a barbarian, he actually knows how not to be arrogant or impatient, and he can't be angry or angry, which makes Yang Yi once again affirm that he has chosen the right person, a real general of the three armies should not go to the battle of words, and seeing the truth on the battlefield is the last word.

However, Yang Yi had a lot to say to Shama Naigu, and he believed that Shama Naigu also had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to talk to him alone.

The two sat down at the table, and Yang Yi asked Tie Niu to inform his subordinates to serve some snacks and food, and only Yang Yi and Shama Naigu were left in the house.

"Brother Naigu, when will I get some rice wine from your Zhen clan to compensate, I'm really worried." Yang Yi said with a smile.

Shama Naigu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, I originally brought a jar to Chengzhou Mansion, but I was robbed by Wuwei Daoist halfway." ”

Yang Yi nodded and said: "Wuwei Daoist has a great contribution to you and me, and to the fact that the Zhen people and the Shu people can live in peace, and it is not an exaggeration to ask for a jar of fine wine." It's a pity that this bull-nosed old Taoist is unwilling to be an official, and he is determined to go back to that Taoist temple, otherwise I will leave him in Chengzhou Mansion. ”

"Dao Chang is a good person, when he used to help our Zhen people, he only needed a pot of wine in return every time, and there are not many such good people in the world." Shamanaigu was quite respectful.

"This kind of good person who only pays but does not ask for anything in return is only done by the idle clouds and wild cranes of Wuwei Daochang, and ordinary people dare to do it, and the general end will not be too ideal." Yang Yi glanced at Shama Naigu and said with a smile: "You don't want to be that kind of good old person, do you?" You are now the commander of Lao Tzu's three armies, and if you dare to be that kind of person, Lao Tzu will immediately remove you from your post. ”

Shama Naigu glanced at Yang Yi with disdain: "I have been reading the military books written by your light people since I was a child, and I understood the simple truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they will not be merciful, when I was eight years old. ”

Yang Yi was not angry, but quite satisfied: "When it comes to being a good person, the principle that I have always acted is that I am a bodhisattva to my own people, and I am a demon to my enemies, and I hope you will do the same." ”

Shama Naigu paused for a moment, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yang Yi with interest, and asked, "I'm suddenly very curious, if I didn't agree with your peace negotiation in Shilian Village, what would you do?" ”

Yang Yi also looked up at Shama Naigu and asked rhetorically, "What will you do?" ”

The two stared at each other with smiles on their faces for a moment, and suddenly they both burst into laughter, and what they were laughing at was perhaps only understood in their hearts.

It's rare to know each other if you don't fight, but once there is such a thing, the love is ironclad, and it may be a lifetime thing. 1910
