Chapter 217: Looting Talents (Part I)

"Jun Xian, when are you going to find those literate talents? Our current four departments are all empty shelves, and there is no subordinate at all! According to your plan, all four departments need people. Moreover, the firearms regiment, as well as those supervisors below, need a large number of literate people! If not, you're an empty shelf! Mulan said.

"What? Magnolia? Are you going to want to fill your staff so soon? Li Junxian asked.

Mulan nodded and acknowledged. Now the four departments of this special guard need a lot of people with useful culture, and if they all rely on those great ancestors, then I am afraid they will not be able to sustain themselves. This is what Li Junxian organized according to the army of later generations, and if there are not a large number of educated people, then I am afraid that this new army will not be able to maintain.

And since Mulan was transferred, she was appointed chief of staff, but as a result, she didn't have any subordinates. Originally, Mulan still had hundreds of subordinates, but now there is no one, which makes Mulan a little unbalanced. And Li Junxian's promise to find talents has been delayed, so Mulan is also a little anxious!

"Mulan, how can I make my wife the commander of the light pole? I'm going to get someone right away. Now the firearms have also been preliminarily completed, and they are waiting to be produced. So, it's time for us to solve the problem of talent. Li Junxian said.

After speaking, Li Junxian immediately picked up the holy decree of cheap action and came to Chang'an City with more than a dozen soldiers. Li Junxian brought people to Guozijian and wanted to find some talents.

The proportion of education in Datang is very poor, there are very few literate people, and even fewer want to be educated. Therefore, there can really be a large number of people with cultural concentration, that is, in the major schools in Chang'an. According to the custom of the Tang Dynasty, there are Guozijian, Taixue, and four schools. Guozijian is a place where the children of high-ranking officials read to school. It is also the place where the whole country is in charge of national education, and Taixue and the four schools are subject to his jurisdiction. And Taixue is a place for the children of middle-level officials to read, that is, the children of officials around the fifth grade. As for the four schools, that is where the outstanding students among the petty officials and ordinary people study. Of course, there are also some arithmetic books, which are places for those students who are really poor, but the future is relatively low.

Li Junxian is now taking people to Guozijian, planning to go to Guozijian to ask for talents.

"General Li, what do you mean by that? Brought so many people to our country? Guozi Priest Wine Kong Yingda said with an unkind face.

"Kong Yingda sacrificial wine, I have something to find you. The emperor specially gave me a holy decree to act cheaply. It is possible to act cheaply in Chang'an City. So, please make it easy for me. Li Junxian said.

"General Li, if you have anything, just say it!" Kong Yingda said.

Li Junxian smiled and said, "Kong Yingda sacrificial wine, we want to borrow some students. There are not many other people in your country, but there are many students, so I want to borrow them. ”

"How many people are you borrowing?" Kong Yingda said.

Li Junxian stretched out five fingers and said, "Five hundred!" ”

Li Junxian's special guard needs a lot of officers, and five hundred people are probably not enough. If it weren't for Li Junxian's fear of stimulating Kong Yingda, he didn't say thousands of people.

"No way. We only have 300 people in the country, where are we going to give you 500 people? Kong Yingda said.

"Then I'll borrow three hundred people!" Li Junxian said.

"It's impossible, the students of our Guozijian will all take the imperial examination in the future, or directly rely on the shade of the door to enter the official career. How is it possible to go with you to join the army? So, I don't say yes. Kong Yingda said.

"Then you are not the emperor's holy decree?" Li Junxian asked.

"You're a mess, I can't say yes! Our students have a bright future, so why go with you to the uncertain future of Tyveid? So. I will never allow you to ruin the future of our students. Kong Yingda said angrily.

"If you don't agree, it doesn't mean that the student won't agree!" Li Junxian said.

Li Junxian immediately took dozens of soldiers and came to the Guozi Prison. Li Junxian was very noisy and gathered those students one after another. Begin the lecture.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Junxian, that is, the general of the special guard. You may have heard of me, but I need a lot of literate people for Tyvek right now, and you are all literate. So, I want to ask you to go to Tekwei with me to create a great cause, do you want to go? Li Junxian asked.

Li Junxian didn't expect that he thought that these students should be very enthusiastic. But now it was so silent, as if it was full of resistance.

"General Li, we're not going!" "General Li, let's study here!" "General Li, we are still scholars, and then we will go to the imperial examination, this is the right way." ……

Those students did not agree to go to the special guard with Li Junxian, and they would rather stay in the country to study than go to the special guard. Because they can't see the future of the special guard, the special guard is just a temporary establishment, if it is not for the good relationship with Li Junxian, who would be willing to go to the special guard to serve. At present, those high-ranking officers of the special guard are all people close to Li Junxian. Now many people are not optimistic about Li Junxian's special guard, because Li Junxian openly explained that he had to rely on the training of the new army, new tactics and new methods.

The ancients were conservative, and they didn't think that Li Junxian's new tactics could succeed, so they didn't recognize this. However, Li Junxian has no choice, because a tactic is probably opposed by many people before it starts to fight and achieves results. Just like the application of many new equipment in later generations, there are many objections. Li Junxian now wants to use gunpowder as the main battle weapon of his subordinate troops, which makes many people shake their heads. In everyone's eyes, gunpowder is just a thing that sets off firecrackers during the New Year, and it is useless at all. Now it is actually used to fight wars, and countless people's habitual thinking thinks that it is impossible. So, it is precisely for this reason that those who read books simply will not want to join a special guard who has no future.

"You really won't join?" Li Junxian was a little annoyed.

"Li Junxian, don't come nonsense! These students are all the future pillars of my Datang Dynasty, and they are all close relatives of my high-ranking officials in Datang, don't you come nonsense! Kong Yingda said immediately.

When Li Junxian heard this, he immediately dispelled the idea of forcibly requisitioning them. Originally, Li Junxian still wanted to rely on the Holy Decree, but now these students are the children of high-ranking officials, and it is impossible for Li Junxian to forcibly pull them away.
