According to the original history, even after the death of the prime minister, there were very few local factions in Shangshutai led by Jiang Wan. A capitulation faction like Xiang Qian Zhou doesn't want to get real power, and it is already a compromise to make him a professor.

It was after Fei Yi's death that the nativists really began to gradually gain power. After Chen Yi came to power, he found that he could not hold it down with his own ability, and had to start appointing local officials.

But now, while Jiang Wan and Fei Yi are still there, Ma Jian has seen many localist officials in Shangshutai. Among them are not only collaborators, but also many former hardcore capitulators.

Even the old thing Qian Zhou entered Shangshutai, which Ma Jian couldn't imagine.

So Ma Tan was a little nervous for a while, could it be that after he and the prime minister left Chengdu, the local faction put pressure on Jiang Wanfeiyi? Could it be that the previous beating was not hard enough to make the localists feel that they were good again?

My day, three provinces, my body, Long Wuyi, from me, did I give him face? Am I not fighting hard enough? Am I being too kind?

Thinking of this, Ma Yan's killing intent began to permeate. If it was really the localists who made trouble and dragged the Northern Expedition back, he wouldn't mind having a Dujiangyan diving competition outside Chengdu.

Although the impact is very bad, Ma Jian has always cared about his name. Even if he were to die for this, Ma Jian was quite willing.

But the difference is that Fei Yi patted Ma Jian on the shoulder with a smile, indicating that this is where it is.

"You're too nervous, in fact, the local officials are all honest and surprisingly honest now." Fei Yi smiled and persuaded Ma Jian not to be nervous, and then explained to Ma Jian without hurrying.

"Not only are they honest, but these local officials have become staunch supporters of the Northern Expedition. For example, when you were in the north to Nanyang and Chengdu were not confident, they supported you, indicating that the heavenly phenomena were Youhan, and the general of the expedition to the north would definitely win a big victory. ”

"These local officials are no longer the hostile relationship they used to be, and they can cooperate."

"Huh...... This old guy really picks the time to make a name for himself. Ma Tan shook his head gently, very speechless at Qian Zhou's Sichuan Opera face.

"What else can I do, since they have all chosen to cooperate, can there be any reason?" Fei Yi spread his hands, his face became a little serious,

"The prime minister went to supervise Yongzhou and took away most of the prime minister's mansion, and those are most of the talents of our hometown in Jingzhou. When Gongyan and I recorded Shangshu together, there were not many people who could use the Gonggong in our hands, and Yizhou was busy with official business, so there was no way. ”

"Fortunately, the local gang of people are no longer majestic, and their power has been greatly reduced under the handling of you and the prime minister at a young age. In addition, the situation of the Northern Expedition is now very good, and most local officials are willing to cooperate. ”

If it was still the original surrender faction that had not been dealt with, had a large number of local forces and private soldiers in their hands and did not cooperate, Fei Yi would not dare to use them even if he was exhausted. However, now that the local surrender faction has basically been emasculated, and they are willing to cooperate under a heavy blow, it is not impossible to use them at this time.

In particular, the power of these people is gone, but some of their local connections and influence are still retained. For example, there are a large number of students under Qian Zhou who hold official positions at the grassroots level, and they are still willing to obey Chen Zhou's words.

The use of people who are willing to cooperate has created great convenience for Shang Shutai to act, and many things have become extremely smooth.

After all, in the final analysis, Qian Zhou's gang just had no confidence in the Northern Expedition and were unwilling to bleed for it. Now that the situation in the Northern Expedition is very good, they have already made sure that they have the merit of following the dragon, and naturally they will not decline at this time.

They're just cowardly, but they're not stupid.

However, Ma Jian still had doubts about this, scratched his head and asked,

"Is there still such a shortage of talents in Chengdu now? Need to have to use homegrown officials to the point of it? In the past few years of my Northern Expedition, I feel that there are a lot of rising generals and rookies? ”

"Nonsense! You don't look at how quickly your military exploits are accumulated, and those who have a choice can give priority to running under you. We can only pick up a few of you, don't want the rest to be activated! Fei Yi obviously had a lot of resentment about this, rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

In recent years, Shu Han has formed a consensus, that is, following Ma Yan, promotion is a matter of several battles. A large number of young talents from the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction all crowded into Ma Tan's troops, just for the low-hanging fruit military exploits.

As a result, all the talents of their own people sent by Jingzhou were given priority to supply Ma Yan. Even many people whose original families clearly required them to study literature and pursue a career in official careers temporarily transformed to study the art of war, preparing to follow General Ma's Northern Expedition.

Because of this, even though there is a shortage of talents in Shu Han now, there is no shortage of capable talents under Ma Yan's command. On the contrary, it is Fei Yi's side, and the lack of people is about to make Fei Yi crazy.

In this case, Fei Yi's use of these localist officials who have the ability and become correct can only be said to be a helpless compromise.

Ma Jian just smiled at this and no longer made an evaluation.

It is clear that he has taken advantage, and what else to say, what if Fei Yi looks for someone for him.

However, for Fei Yi's helplessness, Ma Jian is also more understandable. When I faced those local scholars in Longxi County, I also felt this way.

It's just that with the prime minister behind him and Li Muda's model worker, this forced the elimination of these big clans.

In fact, this problem is also a problem that has plagued Shu Han since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Shu Han has read books, and there is too little knowledge of talents.

There is no shortage of people in Shu Han now, what is lacking is people who have read books and learned scriptures.

After all, no matter what, you can't let an illiterate person who doesn't know anything do the county order, right? If you want your territory to be stable and tax-dependent, you must use knowledgeable people.

The set of Longyou paper that Ma Tan made in Longyou has been promoted at this moment, and the price of paper has been cut in half, at least within the scope of Shuhan. But the price of learning has not been lowered because of this, and those who should not be able to read still cannot afford to read.

There are many reasons for this, but the two main ones are the need for books to be copied and the interpretation of classical Chinese.

Because of these two difficulties, a large amount of precious knowledge is still monopolized by the family. This makes it possible for the imperial court to select talents, no matter how they are found, only the people of the scholar clan, and they can't find suitable children from the poor family.

In this regard, Ma Jian had actually thought about what to do, but it was delayed because of the Northern Expedition. Now that Fei Yi mentioned it, Ma Jian remembered this question again.

"It's really time to think about how to expand the scope of education...... At least we can't let the big clans monopolize knowledge for a long time. Ma Tan groaned, his eyes lost in thought,

"Anyway, half a year has nothing to do, so it's better to ...... Fix the printing press first? ”
