"What does your lord mean?"
Feng Jin is a native of Shangyang County, and he knows the nobility circle in this place very well.
Their opinions on this matter are second, and Jiang Pengji's attitude is the most important.
If she is weak and chooses to give in in the face of the pressure of the local nobles in Shangyang County, they can only advise Jiang Pengji to appease the emotions of those people first, so as to make plans for later; .
Jiang Pengji is their lord, and the lord's attitude will greatly affect the advisor's choice.
"What do I mean?" Jiang Pengji smiled, and she said, "I am in charge of Shangyang County now, when will it be their turn? If you just want to do a favor and take advantage, I can't bear it. If they put their noses on their faces, do you think I can bear it?"
What goes into her pocket is hers, as is Shangyang County.
She doesn't care whether these nobles are local snakes or not, she has to shrink in front of her. If they don't obey, don't blame her for being cruel.
Wei Ci smiled and said, "According to the master's temperament, it is naturally unbearable."
Only this person has always been angry with others, where can others look at her face
Not to mention the nobles in Shangyang County, in the past life, Jiang Pengji, as a big bandit with tens of thousands of troops, the Dongqing court had no choice but to choose to recruit her. Appointing her as the county governor of Hu County, I wanted to use the ruthless gentry of Hu County to frame her, but who knew that she would kill all those people. After that, no one in Hu County dared to question her voice again.
She said one, no one dared to say two.
Of course, the two worlds started differently.
As a bandit-born His Majesty, she will kill whoever she likes to kill, and she will kill whoever beeps. She doesn't have to worry about her reputation at all.
Today, she is the son of Liu She, with her reputation and shackles, it is impossible for her to be as willful and cruel as in the past.
You can't fight, you can only outsmart.
However, no matter how a person changes, the style in his bones remains the same.
Even if it is outsmarted, it will be terrifying.
Feng Zhen coughed lightly, hugged Madam Tang tightly in his arms, took a sip of hot tea, and dispelled the chill in his body a little.
"Once the lord makes such a head public, what will be the difference between him and the puppet in the future? In this matter, the attitude should be tougher. When it comes to money, rice, and grain, the lord's wealth is not to say that the wealth is too rich to rival the country, but there is more than enough land to support the two counties, so why bother with them? Funding? The only shortcoming is 'talent'. According to the master's current background, there is indeed some shortage... This is also a problem... "
No matter how talented Fengzhen people are, they are only a few people after all, and it is impossible to use them as hundreds of people.
Jiang Pengji does not lack top talents, nor does she lack the most basic talents, but instead, she lacks intermediate talents who are better than others.
Even if Jiang Pengji has already tried to open an academy to cultivate some available talents.
It's a pity that the time is still short, they haven't even finished the first semester, and it will take two or three years before they can be put into use.
If he accepts the "talent assistance" from the local gentry, Jiang Pengji's team will take shape.
However, there is no free lunch in the world, everything has a price.
The powerful gentry can secretly control the replacement of the throne. Where has Jiang Pengji gone now? If the gentry takes advantage of the loopholes and controls the right to speak, no matter how beautiful they will live in the future, they will be just another "Emperor of Dongqing". in the nobility of the nobility.
This topic is a bit embarrassing for Feng Jin, who made him come from too high
But as a strategist, he has to consider Jiang Pengji's vital interests.
"Why don't they keep each other in check? Maintain a relatively balanced state for the time being. After a few years pass, it can be relieved." Feng Jin suggested, "Shangyang County's nobles are complex, and there are interests and disputes between each family. If you use the Proper, don't worry about them causing trouble."
Jiang Pengji frowned and listened.
Wei Ci and Feng Zhen are both foreigners, and they don't know the local situation as well as Feng Jin.
Feng Jin's suggestion is relatively feasible at present.
The balance of power is also one of the secrets of the imperial family.
"Huaiyu's suggestion is feasible. However, Zixiao and I don't understand the situation in Shangyang County. If we want to do this, we can only leave the matter to Huaiyu. I'm afraid it will be more difficult."
Feng Zhen was holding Mrs. Tang with a smile, as if she saw Feng Jin couldn't go home after a busy year.
Feng Jin smiled bitterly.
He couldn't get used to Feng Zhen, the prodigal son, but he didn't expect Feng Zhen to see his own excitement first.
Jiang Pengji said, "Huaiyu's move is a good way, but... this is also a temporary solution, not the root cause. Although they have conflicts and disputes, they are not irreconcilable? There are too many trade-offs, and sooner or later they will have to get rid of them. Instead of doing this, It's better to take a salary from the bottom of the pot."
She still can't take advantage of the local nobles in Shangyang County, but it is still possible to weaken it step by step.
"Drawing from the bottom of the pot?"
Although Feng Jin was from a noble family, the Feng clan was on the sidelines, so he didn't have to worry about it, the master's interests were the direction he moved forward.
Feng Zhen asked, "How do I get paid from the bottom of the pot?"
"Let's choose talents without sticking to one pattern." Jiang Pengji said with a bright gaze, "Talents are also divided into three, six, nine, and nine classes. What we need is not the worthy and talented, and our standards are not that high. Looking at Shangyang County, the general Aside from the nobility, everyone else is an idiot, right? No matter the poor, the poor, the high or the low, as long as you have the virtues and abilities, you can use them!"
Fengyi County does not have this condition, but Shangyang County is different. There is a strong learning atmosphere here, and there will be no shortage of talents.
She not only has to open academies to cultivate her own talents, but also to recruit available talents.
In this era, being an official requires family background, appearance, virtue, and ability. Among them, family background is the most important. If there are no special circumstances, the official position can still be hereditary. Ability doesn't matter at all.
Jiang Pengji's remarks, in a sense, are provoking the employment system of the entire era.
Feng Jin secretly glanced at Wei Ci and Fengzhen's faces, and the two looked a little excited. He sighed inwardly, but did not say anything.
Feng Zhen asked, "Does the lord want to replace all the people?"
Jiang Pengji snorted and said, "Replace them all? How is it possible, I don't want to go out in the future and be poisoned to death after drinking a glass of water."
Replacing all of them means completely robbing the interests of the gentry.
Wei Ci said, "My lord's intention is to replace the inadvertently important people first, and then make plans after they are familiar with it."
In addition to not disturbing and annoying the gentry, another reason is that the newly recruited talents are not familiar with the positions, and it is easy to cause troubles.
It's better to leave them in a less important place to practice for a while, and then transfer them.
This period of time was enough for Jiang Pengji to gain a firm foothold.
This is not just a paycheck from the bottom of the pot, it's a plan to slow down.
20,000 horses can't make these nobles afraid, if it is 50,000, or even 100,000
Chengde County, where the Red Lotus Sect is entrenched, is Jiang Pengji's next target.
