Chapter 103 Talent and System (I)


"This" Xu Guanzhong thought deeply about the civil and military officials under the prince.

The military strategy of General Zhu Wu was sufficient to conquer the barbarians and guard against the Wanyan tribe.

But the means of governance?

Wu Yong was far away in the Song Dynasty, and he was good at conspiracies, but his governance methods were not necessarily brilliant.

As for other generals, it goes without saying that in marching battles, charge traps are definitely the best choice.

But when it comes to governance and appeasement methods, forget about that.

After Xu Guanzhong thought for a while, he found that none of the prince's men seemed to be suitable except himself.

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong couldn't answer, Shi Jin knew that he knew the problem.

Shi Jin shook his head and said: "As Mr.

Rulin said, if we want to completely quell the tribal disturbances and win over the people of various tribes, including the Jurchens, to accept enlightenment, we must be kind and powerful.

I have a lot of people who can march and fight. , but apart from you, there is only one person who can lead troops to suppress the enemy and at the same time appease and govern the party.

You still need me to be your adviser at all times.

If I don’t use him, you can still use him. who" Xu Guanzhong can now more or less express the prince's painstaking efforts, but he still has some doubts about Zongze, saying: "Despite this, the prince trusts Zongze so much, and really believes that he can pacify the barbarians."

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Guanzhong, believe my vision.

Just like when you and I hit it off, no matter how others objected, I still appointed you as the commander-in-chief.

Likewise, believe me.

This Zongze's ability is no worse than yours." .

I believe he will live up to my expectations.

Just wait and see."

The prince said that for this reason, Xu Guanzhong had no choice but to say: "I hope that Mr.

Rulin will not live up to the prince's expectations of him."

Shi Jin shouted with certainty: "I believe him" Anyone who can achieve such a great reputation in history will definitely not be a mediocre person.

Zongze, the stage is set for you.

It depends on how you sing a good show and let everyone see what you are capable of Just as Shi Jin was recalling Zongze's historical deeds, Lu Fang suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, if Wanyan Aguda really becomes a serious problem for our army, why not kill him now.

The last general is incapable of talent, but he is willing to lead the way.

Five thousand soldiers and horses helped the prince capture the head of the dog to relieve the prince's worries."

Shi Jin was shocked when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

If it were so easy, we would have sent people to eliminate him long ago.

Would we still watch him grow?

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly explained to Lu Fang: "General Lu, the Wanyan tribe is in the deep mountains and forests, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

If they hide in the deep valleys and secluded forests, how many people do you think our army will need to dispatch to find them and eliminate them?

What's more, the main enemy of our army is the Liao Kingdom now, and it is impossible to allocate too many troops to deal with a small tribe, so as not to affect our army's plan to attack Yanyun."

When Lu Fang heard this, he hurriedly bowed and held his hands in his hands and said: "The general is so stupid that he speaks arrogant words.

Please ask the prince to atone for his sins."

Shi Jin patted Lu Fang on the shoulder and said, "I know General Lu is loyal and wants to relieve my worries.

How can I blame you?"

After appeasing Lu Fang, Shi Jin turned to Xu Guanzhong and said, "Guanzhong, you said there were three major problems before.

You said two, what is the last one?"

"Officials" Xu Guanzhong said: "The prince now occupies a very large area.

The Khitan noble officials previously appointed by the Liao Kingdom did not dare to reuse them.

Therefore, there are many officials in the states and counties.

Although there are many Han people in the Liao Kingdom, the Bohai people are all They have joined our army, but after all, it is limited and far from being able to meet the gap.

Wei Chen believes that the top priority is to recruit talents for the prince's use."

Shi Jin heard this and asked, "In your opinion, is there any way to solve this problem?"

Xu Guanzhong continued: "Wei Chen believes that we should adopt a three-pronged approach.

One is to set up schools, hold imperial examinations, and cultivate scribes loyal to the prince.

However, this method is slow to take effect and must be implemented as a long-term policy.

Now the prince can issue a conquest order, Recruiting talented people from Liaodong.

However, Wei Chen thinks that Liaodong is the best.

Many people are waiting and watching, and they don't dare to join the prince.

It is unknown how many talents will be recruited in the end.

Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that the prince issue a recruitment order in the name of King Dingxiang.

Liaodong has great potential, but it has not yet been established.

It was developed, but now there are few people and lack of materials.

This is Weichen.

One of the reasons why the prince has not been advised to break away from the Song Dynasty now is to exchange the land of the four states for the prince's title.

This way the prince can obtain a large amount of material resources from the Song Dynasty and recruit scribes for many years.

The number of admissions has been increased, and now there are many scholars in the Song Dynasty.

There are two people holding this official position at the same time, and there are still four or five people waiting in line.

Therefore, many scribes can only be idle and have nothing to do.

If the prince who lives in Tokyo issues a recruitment order, he will definitely find many who are unwilling to be mediocre.

Poor scribes can greatly alleviate the prince's talent shortage."

When Shi Jin heard this, he fell into deep thought and analyzed the pros and cons of the various methods Xu Guanzhong said.

Only when he went to Liaodong in person did Shi Jin know that governing Liaodong was not a simple task.

It could not be done by reading a few books by sages and reading several articles.

In the past, in order to rule the various ethnic groups in the Liao Kingdom, the Khitan people in the Liao Dynasty adopted the ruling method of "governing according to customs".

The Liao Dynasty established a dual-track official system of southern officials and northern officials, "governing the Khitans according to their own system and treating the Han people according to the Han system."

The officials in the north govern the affairs of palaces, tribes, and subordinate states, while the officials in the south govern the affairs of Han prefectures and counties, renting taxes, and military and horse affairs, and govern according to customs.

At the beginning of the founding of the Liao Kingdom, this was very conducive to the rapid stability and governance of the Liao Kingdom.

But as time went by, this political system became unsuitable.

Because over the course of hundreds of years, many ethnic groups have learned to farm and stabilized.

Moreover, the territory of the Liao Kingdom has been continuously expanded, and the ethnic groups are no longer limited to the Han and Khitan ethnic groups.

The customs and habits of each ethnic group are different, so it is not suitable to adopt the simple "govern the Khitans according to the system of the native people and treat the Han people according to the Han system" before the Khitan.

Just like the Khitan people are nomadic people, they will move around in search of suitable grasslands.

The Jurchen people are a fishing and hunting people, and they mainly make a living by fishing and hunting.

The Han people are a farming nation and mainly make a living through farming.

Under these different lifestyles, could the scribes of the Song Dynasty govern well and be competent?

Shi Jin raised his own question and said: "This Liaodong is very different from the Song Dynasty.

There are Han people, Khitan people, Bohai people, Jurchen people, etc. here, and the people are mixed.

The living customs and lifestyles of each ethnic group are very different.

Under my rule Officials in the Song Dynasty have to face various difficulties, including language communication problems.

Are the scribes of the Song Dynasty competent?"

After Xu Guanzhong thought for a while, he said: "I have also considered this issue, so I thought that before the scribes of the Song Dynasty took office, they could be given necessary instruction to let them understand the customs of various ethnic groups and what they should pay attention to.

Then Send people to extensively inspect their situation after taking office, and select the best ones for use.

This will help the prince to govern the states and counties."

After hearing what Xu Guanzhong said, everyone in the hall was talking about it, and they all felt that this was the best way at the moment.

Shi Jin thought for a long time after hearing this.

Xu Guanzhong's method was good and feasible.

But Shi Jin was thinking about the historical governance policies of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties in Liaodong, Southwest and other places.

Appointment of native officials, conversion of native officials to local officials, etc.

Shi Jin said: "The method mentioned by Mr. can only solve the temporary difficulties, but it does not fundamentally solve the problems faced by Liaodong now, as well as the long-term governance problems.

I have a plan, please help me to refer to it and see if it is feasible."

Shi Jin had an idea in his mind about what kind of system to adopt.

However, Shi Jin could not guarantee whether it would be suitable for this kind of matter that concerns various ethnic groups, let alone say it in one word.

Today I heard Xu Guanzhong mention the issue of officials and governance, so I brought it up so that everyone can help refer to this policy.

Shi Jin said: "I think autonomous counties should be set up." : :
