Some other successful ethnic minorities have also used this trick, such as the Mongolian centurion and thousand-commander system, and the Jin State's fierce security and restraint during the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, through layers of control, all domestic resources are in the hands of the king, and they can concentrate their efforts on doing great things anytime and anywhere, such as arm-to-finger, which is very convenient.

Japan's Meiji Restoration was actually the Shang Dynasty Reform in modern times, and the abolition of feudal prefectures was the abolition of feudal counties, and all the resources of the country were in the hands of the emperor; The purchase of industry is the reward of Shang Ying, encouraging production, encouraging people to invest in modern industries, and laying the foundation for modernization. The compulsory military service system is the armor protection system, which ensures the country's military resources, and can concentrate all its forces against foreign enemies in a war.

During the First Sino-Japanese War, not to mention the naval battle, but only the land battle, Japan dispatched a total of 120,000 well-equipped field divisions, and the Qing Dynasty could only send out Li Hongzhang's 53,000 Huai troops to participate in the battle, and these more than 50,000 people had to defend the forts. The rest of the governors and governors would only talk about keeping the enemy out of the country, but no one would send troops to help. With such a gap in strength, it's normal to lose. In fact, most of the officers and soldiers of the Qing army were still very heroic, but their flesh and blood could not resist the modern state apparatus after all.

That's why Mr. Liang Qichao - Mr. Liang Gong Zhuoru said that Li Hongzhang is "an enemy of one country, and even if he is defeated, he is still a hero".

Zhu Ao, who is more familiar with these histories, will definitely not let these tragedies happen to himself or his descendants, and he made a plaque of Han Feizi's sentence "Survival is in the void and reality, not in the crowd" and hung it in his bedroom, so that it can remind himself and the successor kings all the time.

After finishing the construction of the grassroots organization, Zhu Ao also needs to establish his own intelligence agency, that is to say, he needs someone to give him a small report, although the inspection of the imperial history can be used as his eyes and ears, and report to him on local matters, but Zhu Ao feels that these are far from enough.

Zhu Ao upgraded the Department of Honor and Guard to the institution of the three products, gave them the authority of Jinyi Guard, let them supervise hundreds of officials for themselves, and by the way, they became spies, and established an intelligence network covering the whole country and even the surrounding countries, so that they were no longer blind and deaf.

Zhu Ao also wanted to appoint eunuchs he trusted to form institutions such as Dongchang in order to strengthen his ears, eyes and minions, but considering that Lao Zhu was still alive and eunuchs were strictly forbidden to interfere in politics, this decision was shelved.

After the official position is set up, all that remains is to recruit talent. It should be noted that what Zhu Ao hates is rotten Confucianism and hypocrites like the Donglin Party, and he does not hate all scholars.

In Zhu Ao's view, reading and reading is the same as riding a horse and archery, it is just a skill, good people can use it to stabilize the country, and bad people will use it to break the law and break the law.

What's more, a dignified county magistrate is illiterate, and he can't even read the pleadings and account books, can he still be a competent county magistrate?

There are two principles for employing people, the first is to do things solidly, and people who are embroidered with fists and legs or even stealing and playing tricks must not be used, and the second is to have a skill, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, where the illiteracy rate was very high, being able to read and write was already a very good skill.

The so-called scholar is actually a type of person with certain skills in Zhu Ao's eyes, which is the same as Lan Youcheng's financial management ability and Lan Youcheng's uncle Zhang Bao's veterinary ability, not higher than others, nor lower than others.

He will not deliberately suppress scholars, as long as these people do things for him in a down-to-earth manner, he will also promote and reuse, but he will never hold them up to the sky, otherwise he will repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty.

Due to the initial establishment of the country and the relative lack of talents, Zhu Ao's standard for recruiting scholars is naturally not Jinshi and the first, and both people and Xiucai can be appointed, Zhu Ao believes that the so-called lifting people and Xiucai are just that the articles are not as good as the Jinshi's writing, and they are not necessarily worse than them in handling practical affairs.

As soon as the recruitment list was issued, the news immediately spread, not only did the entire Su country know, but several surrounding provinces and even farther places also knew about Zhu Ao's recruitment.

Many frustrated people in the field of showmanship, even those who didn't get into the show and just knew how to read and could try their luck, hoping to find an official and a half-position in the country, so as to glorify their ancestors.

Su Wang Zhu Ao broke the Western Domain, the glorious deeds of expanding the land for 800 miles have spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, many people have seen that Su Wang is not simple, there will be great development in the future, so he did not travel thousands of miles to join him, in order to occupy more of the original shares.

After rounds of examinations, interviews, and political examinations, Zhu Ao granted certain official positions to those who were satisfied, but he still couldn't fully believe in these newcomers, and generally only gave them a seven-rank county order, or a six-rank Saro in Liucao, and then decided to rise and fall depending on their actual work performance.

But this is already pie in the sky for those who can't even pass the Jinshi or even the Juren exam, and they are grateful to Zhu Ao and happily take office.

As for the official positions such as the political envoy in the county and the judgment of Liucaoli, Zhu Ao mainly used the old people in the palace, first, these people he was very familiar with, second, these people were willing to stay to help him, and he also had to fulfill the promise of entrusting others with important tasks, and third, he had to pay attention to what he did, first come, first come, first come, so that the newcomers could easily cause instability in people's hearts by comparing the old people.

Just a few days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the palace of the Forbidden City, received a detailed battle report about King Su's great destruction of the Western Domain and the expansion of the land for 800 miles. When I was training in the Qing Dynasty the year before last, I felt that I could take on a great responsibility here, and he really didn't disappoint me. ”

Concubine Guo Ning, who was on the side, poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuanzhang, took the opportunity to sit beside him and said with a smile: "I'll just say, King Su is a good boy, capable and filial, now you believe it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at her, snorted, and said, "Look at what you said, when did I not believe it?" ”

Concubine Guo Ning was neither afraid nor angry, she had long been used to flirting with Zhu Yuanzhang like this, and said with a smile: "The child has made a great contribution, you have to reward him." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while, and said with a sad face: "Don't say anything about rewarding or not, he has a large territory now, and the number of troops he needs will increase, and the previous guards are not enough." I decided to get the Imperial Court to plan for the departure of several new guards to Suguo to move forward. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is the person who feels sorry for the child, although Zhu Ao founded the country, but in his eyes, Zhu Ao's Su State is still an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ao is still his Zhu Yuanzhang's son, his son is in need, how can he, the old man, sit idly by? The reason why he didn't put those guards in place before was that it was too difficult to transport grain, and now that Zhu Ao has solved the food problem by himself, what are he waiting for?
