Yuxi City's talent recruitment plan is not limited to the field of magic research.
Long before Yunyang was brought down, Li De had mentioned a plan to He Yue, saying that he hoped to establish a comprehensive scientific examination system and discover a large number of talents from the people. Different from Bai Yiwei's hard search among the people, this method can bring the world's talents to the door, and He Yue also brought up this matter with Li De again at this time:
"The imperial examination system mentioned earlier is already in preparation. But at present, it is still limited by many problems... First of all, it will cost a lot to hold this kind of territorial-level exam. In order to make the people trust us, we At least half of their round-trip expenses must be borne. Secondly, we have not yet found enough examiners, and it is very difficult to select local talents. Finally, and the most important issue is that other territories can follow our example to more Accumulating talents at a fast speed is not good for us.”
Lied nodded:
"Spending money is inevitable. But don't worry about other territories following suit. The situation in each territory is different, and there are not many territories that can copy our operations. At present, most of the territories are dominated by nobles who monopolize the right to education and promotion. This kind of selection The system has lasted for hundreds of years in this country, and changing it would be a major change, not every territory has the courage to shed so much blood."
Lid paused, and continued:
"The expedition itself is not limited to our lands. Anyone who wants to join us can come and sign up, no matter what region they come from, or even what race they are. There are many aliens who are sold as slaves. If it is true If we have the ability, we can also take them in. Of course, we must abide by the rules when we come here, this is our bottom line."
He Yue rubbed between her brows:
"I always feel that there will be a lot of conflicts in the future. For example, a slave from Duke Huai's territory ran out to join us privately, and later became a high-level executive in our Yuxi City, but his contract of prostitution still stays with Duke Huai. When the other party came to ask for someone, We can’t let it go, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.”
Lied shrugged:
"Then let's fight. For this kind of crap, whoever has the bigger fists will take advantage. If we are strong enough, the other party will not only dare not come to ask for someone, but will have to chop off the heads of all the guys who bullied him."
He Yue drank the tea in her hand and began to think about how to make the people accept these novel systems.
Lide can always come up with a lot of ideas that are ahead of the times, and these ideas are reasonable in themselves, and even Heyue would be a little overwhelmed when he heard it for the first time. But how to implement these ideas is not an easy task.
To use an analogy, there is no precedent for great talents in the countryside. Umi is a typical example; but the probability of this kind of thing is actually limited by the level of education of the people. The literacy rate in Yunyang and Heyue is not It has been counted, but the number of people who have received an orthodox education is definitely no more than 5%.
It is Heyue's ability to find a way to make those people who don't know a single word understand the new policy. Perhaps it also has something to do with his experience in the brothel, how to make people understand his own point of view, how to make them follow his own point of view, he has mastered these skills.
So don't think that these ideas were proposed by Li De, at least 70% of the credit for their implementation lies with He Yue.
"A new era has come..."
He Yue sighed softly and put down the teacup.
From then on, there will no longer be an insurmountable gap between nobles and commoners. Those who are capable are promoted, and those who are incompetent are sent down. Just thinking about it, He Yue's heart is full of longing:
"In the future, I will set the tone with the Propaganda Department of the Shaoyu Camp. In the past, many talented people habitually made themselves madmen or hermits in order to become famous. After the system came out, although they accepted it in their hearts, they would not sign up immediately because of the face. Once they missed the best period, they would feel sour and began to criticize our system. The nature of scientific research is very high, give them a step."
After Heyue finished speaking, she specifically added a sentence to Lide:
"These people may have unpleasant personalities, but they still have talents and learning. It takes ten years to cultivate people and a hundred years to cultivate people. After all, the talents we teach ourselves are still a small number. If we want to fill such a big Yunyang, we still need their help."
Lied smiled and said:
"I don't care. As long as those old pedants don't come to my door to make irresponsible remarks, I don't care whether their personalities are pleasing or not. In other words, you are the one who is not pleasing to me. I just chat with you. It's okay, I like you."
He Yue also laughed and said:
"I was used to dealing with others before, so I didn't feel that I suffered particularly. If I changed my boss, I probably wouldn't be so tired, but I wouldn't be valued so much. So, I like you too."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was slightly different from before.
Then Lide threw a pear to He Yue and said:
"Although you should already know it in your heart, let me tell you. All the ideas I put forward, some are urgent, some are not very urgent, so you don't have to do them all in one go. The most important investment at present is the construction of the army. In a time when war may break out at any time, being able to beat others is the most important thing. When recruiting talents, you can recruit more military-related people. If not, report my name and find important people from the rebel army. "
He Yue nodded and said:
"I'll just discuss this with Fang Shisan. Don't worry. Fang Shisan estimated the combat power of our army. At present, except for the sea of clouds, there is no territory around that can threaten us. But you said that you are looking for important people from the rebel army, but I remembered it. One thing, how familiar are you with the rebel army? Now that you are not a city lord but a lord, can the relationship with the rebel army still work?"
Lied replied:
"It can only be said that they are quite familiar. But they are not our forces, they are just allies."
Li De didn't finish, but He Yue already understood what he meant.
Cooperation is possible, but an equivalent exchange is required, and you cannot ask for it blindly. This is the principle of Li De, although Huang Yan once said that the two are brothers, but the brothers still know how to settle accounts, and it is quite embarrassing to keep asking others for things.
Firearms cannot be given, but some carefully forged steel can still be given from Yuxi City. The weapons and equipment of the rebel army have always been relatively backward, and their combat depends on their superiority in numbers and their blood and bravery. If they can be equipped with some sophisticated weapons and armor, their combat effectiveness will be raised to another level.
After chatting with Li De about the future direction, He Yue locked herself in the government affairs hall and was busy for several days.
About half a month later, the introductory magic textbook was printed, and the scientific examination system was officially announced to the public.
After the war, the Yunyang Territory under Lide's control took the lead in entering a period of accelerated development.
