Section 13 Pragmatism and solid foundation

In Chen Wei's view, it is a good thing to be able to marry a royal princess and win a lot of help, but its disadvantages are also obvious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the time being, Huaiyou's number one enemy may still be Caizhou, if Jiang Feng marries the royal princess, the relationship with Daliang is bound to be cold, and Daliang's suspicion of Huaiyou is inevitable.

Huaiyou is currently finally creating a good situation, attacking and retreating, and defending, and now is the best time for Taoguang to raise and accumulate strength, and it is really not appropriate to recruit bees and butterflies, causing unnecessary disputes.

"Lord Deng, there is no need to say about the concubine, the adult has already passed the year of the weak crown, and he should marry a wife and take a concubine, but marrying a wife really needs to be cautious, after all, this is related to the future direction of our Huaiyou, but the concubine has no such impact, so I must ask the adult to settle this matter today. Chen Wei also expressed his attitude.

"Lord Chen, the friendship between the Lord and Princess Jin is quite deep, if such a good thing can be achieved, with the support of the imperial court, the surrounding situation of our Huaiyou will definitely be greatly improved, whether it is Caizhou or Nanyang, if you want to be unfavorable to us, I'm afraid you have to think about it, right?"

Du Tuo doesn't agree with Chen Wei's opinion, in his opinion, the more unstable the situation, the more Jiang Feng's marriage should be settled as soon as possible, and Princess Jin is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Besides, if the adult can marry Princess Jin, the affairs of Gwangju will be more controllable, and the adult is most worried that there is no talent in Huaiyou at the moment, with this relationship, you can go to Guanzhong to attract and recruit people, and you can also balance the current situation. ”

Du Tuo's words were already a bit explicit.

Although Du Tuo came from Daliang, as a side branch of the Jingzhao Du clan, although his parents moved to Luoyang since he was a child, in fact, Du Tuo is no different from the Hanmen Shu clan.

He has worked hard in Daliang for more than ten years, although he has all kinds of ambitions in his chest, but he can only help out in the office of the political affairs hall, and he is depressed, and it is precisely because of this reason that he will be recommended by Chang Kun to Huzhou.

Huaiyou's high-level military generals account for most of the Liang Department, and the proportion of middle-level generals is also very high, and some voices have come out to think that the Liang generals in the Huaiyou Army are too powerful, and they should consider balance, although Du Tuo is from Liang, but he knows that the above is taboo in many aspects.

Although Jiang Feng trusted Yang Kan, Zhang Ting, Ding Man and others, the Second Army was handed over to Xu Ziqing, Zhang Yue was exceptionally promoted to the commander of the Third Army, and the cavalry was handed over to Qin Zaidao.

This is also what he advocates and agrees with, that is, whether it is a regime or an army, it is not appropriate for one party to dominate, especially since Jiang Feng himself is from a Hanmen Shu clan and lacks family connections behind him, so it is even more necessary to balance this joint.

The influence of the Liang Department in the Huaiyou Army is too great, which cannot be changed in a short period of time, so in the government affairs of the three states, it is necessary to balance appropriately.

Although he is from Daliang, Du Tuo knows that Jiang Feng understands his roots, and he actually has nothing to do with Daliang, but many officials led by Cui Shangyan have more to do with Daliang.

For example, although Wang Huang is a branch of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, Hedong, he has taken root in Liangdi, and his uncle Wang Xiang is the head of the cardinal room of the Daliang Political Affairs Hall, and the other uncle is also the governor of Huazhou.

In his opinion, since Chen Wei was born in the local scholar clan of Huzhou, he would definitely support his opinion, that is, since the army has been dominated by the generals of the Liang system, then the government affairs should avoid the influence of the Liang system as much as possible, so as not to be too upside down, but it will be unexpected.

However, he also felt that Chen Wei's attitude towards himself was not warm, and he still maintained a certain distance, and Du Tuo felt that this might also be related to Chen Wei's background.

He also knew that when Jiang Feng was based in Huzhou, local scholars like Chen Tan and other local scholars were also a little vague about Jiang Feng, which was probably why Chen Wei intended to remain neutral and avoid creating a bad impression on Jiang Feng.

However, Du Tuo believes that his suggestion is in line with Jiang Feng's intentions, and the imprint of the girder on Huaiyou's territory is deep enough, and it needs to be diluted and balanced, which he believes will not be seen in Chen Wei's eyes.

Of course, Chen Wei could understand the meaning of Du Tuo's words, in fact, he also knew that Jiang Feng had this intention, and at the same time, it was more conducive to the stability of Huaiyou, but now Du Tuo's proposal to tie Li Jin to the imperial court was not very desirable.

Guanzhong has declined, now the king of the Central Plains is Da Liang, and maintaining a good relationship with Da Liang is the most important, if Caizhou wants to move a knife against Huaiyou, he will never move because of the opposition of your court, but Caizhou needs to consider Da Liang's attitude.

Even if Jiang Feng really intends to marry Li Jin, he needs to wait until the situation in Huaiyou is stable and he has the strength to fight with Caizhou alone without relying on Da Liang, and then he dares to say that he can ignore Da Liang's attitude.

"Lord Du, I think that with the relationship between our Huaiyou and the imperial court, there is no big problem in recruiting scholars in Guanzhong now, and my lord also mentioned to me that what we Huaiyou is currently lacking is not a big official who is in charge, but more officials at the county and township level, due to the ravages of ant thieves, resulting in the task of rebuilding and restoring the counties is very heavy, which requires officials who are skilled in county and township practice, these talents are what we need most, and Guanzhong is narrow and densely populated, and the state and county-level officials are floating in things, if the adults can not go through the ministry, but through Princess Jin's private channels to recruit some scholars and officials to our Huaiyou, I think it is probably more appropriate。 ”

Chen Wei's words were to the point, and Du Tuo was also slightly moved in his heart when he heard it, and he had to admit that this character who grew up from the county order really had some real material and had a deep understanding of county and township practice.

"Lord Chen, if you rely on this method, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the current predicament of our Huaiyou, right?" Du Tuo pondered for a while, "Guanzhong is Guanzhong after all, and the state and county-level officials want to recruit us Huaiyou, I'm afraid that many people are reluctant." ”

"You have to give it a try, and if you can come a few, of course, this hand alone is definitely not enough. ”

Chen Wei also knows the current predicament of the ten counties in Sanzhou, but in this case, Jiang Feng has always asked for a shortage rather than an indiscriminate, and would rather be tighter now, rather than let the officials poison the people, especially in a few newly built counties.

For example, the officials from the Umeda Zheng family in Shouzhou are not very safe in Shouzhou, but can we stay in Gwangju, and then the exchange from Gwangju will go to Huzhou, and the exchange from Huzhou will go to Shouzhou, so that some problems can be solved. Wang Huang also interjected: "It's just that this kind of exchange of officials is too low and not suitable, at least at the county level, and the number should not be too large, so as not to affect local governance." ”

"Zanjiang has a point, the exchange can have some effect, but it should not be too big. Jiang Feng walked in.

All three of them stood up and bowed: "My lord." ”

"Sit down, just a few of us, no formality. Jiang Feng took a breath, "In the past few days, I have been thinking about some tea and dinner, and I can't sleep on the pillow, just thinking about how we Huaiyou will polish, it turns out that there is only one Huzhou and I don't feel it, and my heart is still steady, as soon as this Shouzhou is added, and Guangzhou can't let go, I suddenly feel a little unbearable, the things I explained to you the day before yesterday, that is, I want you to speak freely, as long as it can solve the current predicament of our Huaiyou, just put it forward, whether it is successful or not, we will consider it again, but there is a strategy?"

"My lord, we have also pondered and discussed it in the past few days, and we also have some ideas, but we are more or less flawed and insufficient, but in the current situation of Huaiyou, even if there are some shortcomings, it is better than nothing. Chen Wei arched his hand.

"Well, then don't hide it, shake it out. Seeing that several people were a little dignified, Jiang Feng laughed, "As long as there is a way, we are not afraid to go, it is better than sitting still." ”

Chen Wei was also not polite, and gave out the strategies that the three of them had discussed in the past few days.

In fact, there are only a few.

One is to recruit externally, the first choice of the target is Guanzhong, and you can also consider selection in Huaibei, because the current situation in Huaibei is erosive, and many ordinary officials are also escaping in all directions.

The second is the internal recommendation and selection, the focus is still on the scholars of this county, and it also covers the children of the well-known Hanmen Shu clan and the scholars who have served as officials.

The third is training, which is also the big framework proposed by Jiang Feng, which Chen Wei and the three of them carefully pondered, mainly selected and cultivated among the literati in the three states.

Most of these scholars had never served as officials, and even though they were literate and literate, they had no practical experience at all, and could not undertake practical work at all.

The intention of the three of them is to set up a training school in Huzhou, and invite the old officials from various states who are old because of their old age to be responsible for teaching these scholars the practice of each Cao Division, and according to the actual situation, according to the training method of January, March, and half a year.

Then, after a period of time, these veteran officials and these "trainees" will choose a few counties with more affairs to carry out "internships", and through the "internships" to test the learning results of these scholars, and determine the positions assigned in the future according to their "internship" performance.

In the view of Chen Wei and others, if the old officials from Gwangju and Shouzhou can be hired back, and even some old officials can be hired in Chang'an and Bianliang, it is not necessary to be too high-level, that is, to directly contact the practitioners of Cao Si in the prefecture and county, invite them to teach practice, and teach all kinds of problems and incidents to be encountered in daily work one by one, so as to avoid adaptation to the water and soil.
