Chapter 136: Candidates

The disappointment with Lu Xiufu made Wu Shao just start a serious and important thought, that is, the problem of talent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wu Shaogang's side already has a group of very good generals, these generals are personally trained by him as a special forces instructor, but there is an abnormal lack of civilian officials, especially the civil officials that Wu Shaogang can fully trust, except for Li Siqi, he can't count other people, it's not that Wu Shaogang doesn't pay attention to this problem, but the experience after the crossing, so that Wu Shaogang has no chance to recruit Wenchen.

The Wenchen of the Great Song Dynasty were almost all selected through the imperial examination, and the Wenchen who entered the court as an official must also apprentice, this so-called apprenticeship, that is, to take refuge in the powerful people in the court as a teacher, that is, to stand in line, so that they can gain a foothold in the court, for example, Wen Tianxiang, the champion of the palace examination, was once the protégé of the right prime minister Jia Nidao, and Lu Xiufu, the palace test scholar, was recruited by Li Tingzhi.

Wu Shaogang was born as a military attaché, and he was not qualified to meddle in the affairs of the imperial examination, so it was impossible to have any protégés of scholars, and the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty for military generals were different, and military attachés were not required to participate in the imperial examination, as long as they could go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as they had the strength of their bodies, they could be military attachés, which led to the general lack of cultural level of military attachés.

Wu Shaogang knew very well that relying on military attachés to govern localities would not lead to this road.

To govern a place well, you need to be knowledgeable, be able to collect taxes, be able to judge cases, be able to discern every detail, and be able to govern the locality, and it is very difficult for military attachés to do these things well.

Without the support of civil officials around him, Wu Shaogang is like a lame man, and he can't achieve great things after all.

Wu Shaogang's purpose of recruiting Wenchen is also very clear, he has extraordinary ability and ability, if he has average ability, he can accept it, but the most important thing is that he must be loyal and must obey Wu Shaogang's orders.

This must make Wu Shaogang's selection of talents difficult.

When Wu Shao first arrived in Tongchuan Prefecture, Li Siqi, the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Mansion Road Defense and the prefect of Tongchuan Prefecture, was already waiting outside the city.

There is no need for Wu Shaogang to hide his whereabouts from Li Siqi, and besides, he has decided to rectify the practice of rectifying the rule of officials in the entire Tongchuan Mansion Road, and he is ready to start implementing this important matter, and he must obtain Li Siqi's understanding and support before he can truly implement it.

In the wing room of the mansion, Yuan Shichun and others stood outside, and no one was allowed to enter.

In the wing, there were only Wu Shaogang and Li Siqi.

Li Siqi personally poured tea for Wu Shaogang, and opened his mouth while pouring tea.

"My lord is preparing to rectify the officials and public servants of the Yamen of Fuzhou County, and the officials have been thinking about this matter for several days, and they will say that the officials and public officials of the Tongchuan Prefecture, Fuzhou County, also have a lot of indiscriminate people, and it is necessary to clean up, but the lower officials think that this matter should not be too anxious, and it must be done step by step."

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi and did not speak.

"The lower officials suggest that the public should be cleaned up first, and the next step is to clean up the officials."

"The good intentions of the adults, the lower officials understand that the time they have come to Tongchuan Mansion is not long, and the lower officials also have a headache, many things, the lower officials want to do a good job, such as stabilizing the people, relieving the poor people, etc., but many things, just can't do it well, there will always be such and such problems, in the final analysis, it is the officials and the public that have problems."

"If we can't fundamentally clean up the officials and officials who are doing evil in the government, we will not be able to do many things well, and even many unforeseen things will happen."

"Tongchuan Fulu has suffered a war, it is located in a remote area, and the life of the people is even more difficult, which cannot be compared with Lianghuai and other places.

"And Tongchuan Fu Road also has a very special situation, here borders Chengdu Road, Chengdu Road is controlled by Mongolian Tatars, if there are too many things to bully the people, so that the people can not live, they leave this place to go to Chengdu Mansion is not accurate, after all, Liu Quan once made such a fuss, which makes people's hearts a little scattered."

"The lower official supports the adult's decision, but it's a pity that the lower official can't put forward more suggestions."

。。。

When Li Siqi brought the teacup over, he had already said a lot.

Wu Shaogang's face didn't have much expression, but he nodded frequently.

Li Siqi and his attitude are completely different from Lu Xiufu's, although there are similarities in the words of the two, and the most critical point is that Li Siqi did not mention the emperor and the court at all.

"Brother Li, your words are reasonable, if it is fully rolled out, it is very likely to cause the Fuzhou County Yamen to be unable to do things, but the rectification of the affairs of the officials, we must start to carry out, even if the difficulty is great, we must not hesitate to spread out, I am not worried about the problems of the officials and the people, Tongchuan Fulu has encountered a situation of chaos to the extreme, and the officials of the Yamen of Fuzhou County were killed by Liu Quan, and those who were taken away have not persevered."

Li Siqi looked at Wu Shaogang and nodded slightly, he already understood what Wu Shaogang meant.

"If we don't rectify the rule of officials, with the officials and public servants in the yamen, who knows if there will be a second Liu Quan, then you and I may be even more difficult to deal with, after the chaos, Tongchuan Mansion Road wants to be chaotic, we will let him mess, when the chaos is out of control, under heavy governance, the effect may be better."

When Wu Shao just said this, Li Siqi nodded thoughtfully.

"What the adults said is that Tongchuan Mansion Road has experienced a great chaos, before the adults were thinking about completely stabilizing the situation in Fuzhou County, but just thinking about stability is not enough, if it can not be well managed, I am afraid that there will soon be chaos, Tongchuan Mansion Road bandits are rampant, and have been supported by the people, the people are even willing to suffer from the bandits, and do not want to see the officials and public servants of the Yamen, such a situation, presumably the officials of the Yamen of Fuzhou County are clear."

"Brother Li is right, it seems that you have already thought of a way to deal with it."

"I don't dare to say the way, Xiaguan has never experienced such a thing, but Xiaguan feels that he can still find the best of both worlds, at least so that Tongchuan Mansion Road will not fall into chaos again."

Wu Shaogang nodded and looked at Li Siqi again.

Li Siqi was not polite and continued to speak.

"Your Excellency rectifies the officials and public servants of the Fuzhou County Yamen, relying on the officials of the Fuzhou County Yamen, whether the officials at all levels act or not is particularly important, if the adults can have three or five officials who do their best to do things, the problem can be solved."

After Li Siqi finished speaking, a smile appeared on Wu Shaogang's face.

The heroes see the same thing, Li Siqi also sees the crux of the problem, talent is the most important, as long as the chief officials of Fuzhou County can stabilize the situation and clean up the actions of officials and public officials, they can be well implemented and ensure local stability.

There are such civil officials, but unfortunately they are all completely loyal to the imperial court, and they have similar understanding to Lu Xiufu, and they all want to report to the emperor and the court for every little thing, and they dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step.

If such a civil official comes to Tongchuanfu Road, Wu Shaogang will not be able to move an inch.

"Brother Li, what you said is right, there must be competent officials, do you have someone to recommend for election."

Li Siqi was born as a strategist, and if you want to say that you are not necessarily particularly loyal to the emperor and the court, the soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, Li Siqi is such a person, so Wu Shaogang is at ease with Li Siqi.

Li Siqi probably also understood what Wu Shaogang meant, after all, he had known Wu Shaogang for so many years, especially after coming to Tongchuan Fu Road, he had already felt that Wu Shaogang was unusual.

"My lord, there is really no one to recommend Xiaguan, and I have thought about it carefully these days. . . ."

Wu Shaogang shook his head with a smile, he knew that Li Siqi didn't have much experience in officialdom, and it was impossible to recommend any candidates.

"Brother Li, do you still pick up Hao Jing, what do you think of this person."

Li Siqi was stunned for a moment and spoke without thinking.

"Hao Jing is indeed a good person, and the lower officials have also heard that this person is very knowledgeable, and has the trust of Kublai Khan, and believes that the ability is very good, but this person is the envoy of the Mongolian mission, and he has been detained in Lianghuai, if he is allowed to go to Tongchuan Fu Road to do things, it will be troublesome if it is exposed."

"Brother Li, you have been doing things for a long time under Lord Lu, and I believe you have dealt with many urgent matters, since I thought of Hao Jing and asked him to do things on Tongchuan Mansion Road, I will definitely give him a suitable identity."

"That's what my lord said, but it's difficult on the court side."

"I know this, there must be difficulties, but there is a shortage of people on Tongchuan Road, so we still have to find a way, as long as we can strive to let Hao Jing come to Tongchuan Road, let it really play a role, it is worth paying the price, and there is another point, Hao Jing is the envoy of the Mongolian mission, presumably the Mongolian steppe matters, it is also very clear, if we can get many things about the Mongolian steppe from Hao Jing, so that we know ourselves and the enemy, we will be able to calmly deal with the Mongolian army in the future."

Li Siqi was silent for a while, and finally nodded in admiration.

"The adults are far-reaching, and the lower officials can't reach it, if they can make Hao Jing return to their hearts, it can be said that they can kill multiple birds with one stone, and this kind of thing, it is indeed worth paying the price."

The decision was made, Wu Shaogang no longer hesitated, he asked Li Siqi to be in charge of the entire affairs of the administration of the officials as the deputy envoy of the defense of Tongchuan Fu Road, and immediately sorted out the article Chen, and asked the Fuzhou County Yamen to handle it according to the requirements of the article Chen, and at the same time, Wu Shaogang immediately wrote a letter to Li Tingzhi, explaining in detail the reason for the need for Hao Jing to come to Tongchuan Fu Road.

Of course, Wu Shaogang was very sober, he asked Hao Jing to come to Luzhou Mansion in order to facilitate the detention, Luzhou is located in a remote area, and the road is difficult, Hao Jing is detained here, and no one will find out.

Wu Shaogang also said a reason, that is, to let Hao Jing come to Luzhou Mansion, which also meant to be a hostage. (To be continued.) )
