Guan Xianglian handed over to Qin Meng to kneel down.
"My lord, I thought that what they care about most is nothing more than recruitment. But it doesn't matter whether it's majestic or persuasive, it's useless."
Qin Meng smiled and said: "In this way, you tell those who send children to participate in the recruitment of family members. In the recruitment conditions, there is a very important criterion, that is, the case of no official residence among the three generations of close relatives. If you do not cooperate with the guidance of the Wuwei government, you can There is a record in the government office registration case, and if there is a record, the government office will not be hired."
Guan Xiang was stunned, and his eyes lit up: "Adults are clever, so no one dare to fool around with their children's future."
Qin Meng shook his head and said, "Master Guan, it's not that you can't think of such an idea, but you think of it, but you dare not do it. I'm afraid that if something happens, it will lead to the boss's interrogation? I'm still the same sentence. Words. Let it go, and if it is not a malicious incident, the official will not make a deadly move.
Guan Xiang was a little embarrassed, but Qin Meng was indeed talking about his concerns. Although before forcibly apportioning wealthy households to borrow grain, Guan Xiang already knew that this little boss would not lose the pot, but in the face of such a turbulent crowd, something really went wrong. But it's not the same as picking up the rich.
Picking up the wealthy, that is an extraordinary method in extraordinary times. But Wuwei has stabilized, and if he uses extraordinary means, he may not be able to incur any accountability.
Guan Xiangzheng was about to take his order, and Qin Meng stopped him.
"Guan Xiang, this recruitment of officials will definitely eliminate a large number of people, and there is no guarantee that any accidents will occur. Therefore, we must work hard in this aspect. Tell the farmers that the farming is good. The Wuwei government will also have rewards. The children of the peasants are the first and second place in recruiting talents for the imperial court. Anyone who abandons the peasants for business will be within three generations. They shall not be used by the state."
After listening, Guan Xiang said unconsciously: "My lord, are you worried that farmers will be blindly chasing profits?"
Qin Meng nodded and said: "The benefits of border trade are unimaginable. With heavy benefits, it is inevitable that people will feel that farming is not as good as doing business. But farmers are the roots of the country. The gentleman establishes the world, he must consolidate the roots, the roots and the morals, the country, The same is true. The ancient sages determined the prefaces of the scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce, with insights. If the border trade hurts the farmers, you and I are both sinners of the Sui Dynasty.
Guan Xiang said awe-inspiringly: "What the lord said is quite true, the humble post will definitely pay attention to this problem."
Qin Meng nodded and frowned and said: "It is human nature to seek profit. If a farmer has worked hard for a year, it is better to earn a few days in business, then he will have no interest in farming. If you are an official, if you ignore the advantages and disadvantages, you will be arrogant. The court trusts. The benefits of border trade must be heavily taxed and subsidized by farmers. This is the way to help the country."
Guan Xiangbujue had a sublimation of Qin Meng's understanding. He didn't spend a long time with this little boss, but what Qin Meng did gave him the impression of a sharp turn.
At the beginning, I felt that the little boss was young and full of energy.
Ruthless and black, dare to be bold.
After a while, I found that the little boss was quite competent and had a very principled bottom line. He had the courage to dare to do it, but if something went wrong, he was responsible.
However, when you have some admiration for him, this little boss can make a death by retreating. Letting the three soldiers of the Northern Territory, Ma Jianjun, get fattened and begged for mercy again and again is really a destructive act.
And when you think that maybe this young boss is unstable, it's about border trade. Be far-sighted, think about and solve problems from the perspective of national interests.
Who said that the little boss would just throw something down if he had something to do? He is the leader of all military and civilian affairs in Wuwei. He has to consider everything regardless of size. After making up his mind, he must take full responsibility for his actions. The so-called national soldier is nothing more than this.
Guan Xiangliupao fell to his knees: "Don't worry, adults, the humble ranks will do their best to assist the adults, and they will not let them down."
Qin Meng didn't expect Guan Xiang to kneel down suddenly, and quickly helped him up and said, "Guan Xiang, why should this be? You are a gentleman, and the official is the same? Gentlemen are harmonious but different, and only seek to help the country. That's right, The New Year is about to come, and the money and materials collected from the wealthy and powerful households can be used to provide Wuwei officials for the New Year. It must be generous."
Guan Xiang almost didn't flash his waist, this little boss really couldn't cure him with an inherent template. Just now, he was still a state scholar who worried about the country and the people, and now he immediately became a master who specializes in self-interest.
"A humble duty, dare to ask the lord, what else can you tell me?"
"Not for the time being. I will select candidates as soon as possible. The original plan is 120. You recruit 150. I will conduct closed training. If there are unqualified, we must be eliminated."
Guan Xiang led the orders and went out immediately to handle all matters.
According to Qin Meng's statement, the people who rushed to Wuwei immediately counseled, and hurriedly cooperated with the officials, stayed in the designated place, and left the main city of Wuwei immediately when the recruitment result came out.
After three days, Guan Xiang recruited one hundred and fifty people in accordance with the conditions of recruitment, in conjunction with the places previously recommended by the local tycoons. In accordance with Qin Meng's instructions, these people uniformly changed into the new standard small official costumes, and after saying goodbye to their families, they immediately gathered to report to the barracks.
Qin Meng attaches great importance to the selection of officials. For this reason, Wei Da is specially selected to teach these people, saying that to become qualified officials, extremely stringent military training is required.
Although Guan Xiang and other officials were very busy, Qin Meng gathered all the officials and prepared to let these people meet with future officials to show their importance.
Qin Meng has made a lot of effort in training officials, and what he wants is to be able to endure hardship. Talents who can perform their duties and are able to use them immediately.
Therefore, the first lesson before military training is to endure hardship.
For all the young people selected, the meals for the first few days consisted of flour cakes mixed with bran, plus non-greasy vegetable soup.
When Qin Meng took Guan Xiang and a group of officials into the barracks, and wanted to meet and encourage them, he heard from a distance that Wei Da was roaring there.
Qin Meng hurried over and saw that Wei Da was holding several bran flour cakes in his hand. He was furious and cursed at the neatly lined up candidates.
"What's the matter?" Qin Meng asked coldly.
"Going back to the general, these guys are too rough to eat. I don't know who they are. They secretly throw away the dough. The humble job is checking here." Weida hurriedly bowed back.
Qin Meng looked at the dough in Weida's hand, and then coldly swept everyone in the field.
"Who did it? Stand up now. There is still room for maneuver, otherwise, when I find out, there is no possibility of negotiation."
The scene was silent, everyone was silent, and for a while, the air seemed to be stagnant.
Qin Meng's voice was almost like ice: "This selection of officials is for the court to share worries and do practical things for the people. You are so majestic, and you have selected a hundred and fifty people, you can be said to be the elite of the selected. But , You disappointed me too much."
After a sigh, Qin Meng held his hand and paced back and forth in front of the crowd.
"The so-called elite. No matter when, where, and how dangerous they are, they are dedicated to their duties, enthusiastic, and paying the people. That day, the brothers around him, they fought to the end, unarmed, but a pair of fists. Swing at the enemy captives. With swords and guns, you can compete with the enemy for life and death, but without swords and guns, when the country and the people need you, aren't you soldiers?"
Qin Meng's voice suddenly rose by octaves, and the sound went through the audience. Everyone didn't realize that their heads lowered even more, and everyone felt a little ashamed.
"Many of you come here looking at good treatment, right? I won't despise anyone because of the purpose of your coming. What I see is what you have done. Under Qin, what do you eat and drink? How about the treatment, I must have heard of it? That’s it, I’m not satisfied, no matter which officer is in front of him, I want to ask for money, food and meat as much as possible, so that they can live more comfortably! How many enemy captives have come, I can rely on this group of people to protect the peace of Wuwei!"
Qin Meng's footsteps were getting faster, and the speed of his speech also increased.
"One meal and one meal, when thinking about it is hard to come by. Where does the good treatment come from? It is not created by the hard work of the common people? You think it is difficult to swallow the bread with bran, but you know, there is How many people are displaced, this kind of food is an unquestionable luxury for them! Let you eat some bran, so that you don’t forget the original! I don’t care how others do it, I’m here in Qin Meng When you are a errand, you must remember one thing. That is to not forget your roots! A person who forgets his roots, no matter how great the ability is, I, Qin Meng, will definitely not use it!"
Qin Meng suddenly stopped, his eyes were staring round Biaobiao, and he asked in a deep voice: "After talking for a long time, you should know what I mean. Isn't it, no one has come out to admit it?"
Deathly silence, deathly silence, many people are already at a loss, but no one has come forward.
For a long time, Qin Meng sneered: "Without words, I feel that the Fa does not blame the public, right? Okay, I can tell you, if you are silent and don’t pick out the few people who throw away the dough, you will be a hundred and fifty. People, I don’t want them all! And, as long as I am in Wuwei for one day, you people, your family, don’t even think about getting closer to the government!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of air-conditioning in the field. Everyone knew that this military master of temperance, but he came from a professional ranks and could do anything.
Seeing that the crowd was a little bit angry, Li Ying bowed his hand at Qin Meng, indicating that he wanted to speak.
Qin Meng nodded, and Li Ying stepped forward and said, "My Li family, stand up."
Following Li Ying's words, twelve young people stepped forward.
"Does any of you throw flour cakes?" Li Ying glanced sharply, scanning the past one by one.
The Li family's children lowered their heads, not daring to confront Li.
"Speak! If someone does it, just stand up and admit it, if no one does it, just show me who it is! Don't tell me, you don't know at all."
The Li family was trembling, but no one dared to talk to him.
Li Ying sneered: "Don't say a word, and want to get through it? Don't blame me for being ruthless!" (End of this chapter)
