Section 13 Pragmatic, solid foundation
In Chen Wei's opinion, being able to marry a royal princess is certainly a good thing and can win a lot of help, but its disadvantages are also obvious.
As of now, Huaiyou's number one enemy may still be Caizhou. If Jiang Feng married the royal princess, his relationship with Daliang would be cold. Daliang's suspicion about Huaiyou is inevitable. If Caizhou fights Huaiyou again, he is afraid that Daliang will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
Huaiyou has finally created a good situation at present, where you can attack and retreat or defend. Now is the best time to hide your strength and maintain your strength. It is really not advisable to attract bees and butterflies to cause unnecessary disputes.
"Mr. Deng, it is natural to say that taking a concubine is not a matter of taking a concubine. You are already over the age of twentieth. You should marry a wife and take a concubine, but you need to be careful when marrying a wife. After all, this is related to the future direction of our Huaiyou, but taking a concubine has no effect. Therefore, you must ask the adult to decide this matter today." Chen Wei also expressed his attitude.
"Mr. Chen, Lord Chen has a deep friendship with Princess Jin. If such a good thing can be accomplished and the support of the court, the situation around us in Huaiyou will definitely improve greatly. Whether it is Caizhou or Nanyang, if we want to be detrimental to us, we may have to consider it, right?"
Du Tuo did not agree with Chen Wei's opinion. In his opinion, the more unstable the situation was, the more we should settle Jiang Feng's marriage as soon as possible. Princess Jin was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Huaiyou now lacked the background, and if he married Li Jin, Huaiyou would have much more confidence.
"Besides, if the adults can marry Princess Jin, the affairs in Guangzhou will be more in control. The adults are most worried that there is no talent in Huaiyou at present. With this relationship, they can go to Guanzhong to recruit and balance the current situation."
Du Tuo's words were already a little explicit.
Although Du Tuo came from Daliang, as a branch of the Du family of Jingzhao, although his parents moved to Luoyang since childhood, Du Tuo was actually no different from the poor commoners.
Working hard in Daliang for more than ten years, although he had all kinds of ambitions, he could only help him in the political affairs hall and was depressed and unsuccessful. It was precisely because of this that he was recommended to Xuzhou by Chang Kun.
The Daliang system, the senior general of the Huaiyou army, accounted for most of the Daliang system, and the proportion of middle and grassroots generals was also very high. Some voices have come forward to believe that the Daliang system of the Huaiyou army is too powerful and balance should be considered. Although Du Tuo comes from Daliang, he is well aware of the taboos of those who are superior in many aspects.
Although Jiang Feng trusted Yang Kan, Zhang Ting, Ding Man and others as usual, the Second Army was handed over to Xu Ziqing, Zhang Yue promoted him to the commander of the Third Army, and the cavalry was handed over to Qin Zaidao. This time, he directly promoted Wang Miao to the position of the defensive and guarding envoy, which made him realize something.
This is what he advocated and agreed, that is, no matter whether it is a regime or an army, it is not advisable to be dominated by one party, especially since Jiang Feng himself is a poor commoner and lacks family connections behind him, so he needs to balance the joints.
The Daliang system in the Huaiyou Army had too much influence, which could not be changed in a short period of time. So in the government affairs of the three states, it is necessary to balance appropriately.
Although he came from Daliang, Du Tuo knew that Jiang Feng knew his roots and had nothing to do with Daliang. On the contrary, many officials Cui Shangyan's citation had deeper ties with Daliang.
For example, although Wang Huang is a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Hedong, he has taken root in Liang. His uncle Wang Xiang is the head of the Daliang Zhengshitang Cardinal Hall, and his other uncle is also the Chief Secretary of the Prefecture.
In his opinion, since Chen Wei was born into a native gentry in the state of Weizhou, he would definitely support his opinion, that is, since the army has been dominated by the Daliang generals, the government affairs should be avoided as much influence as possible, so as not to be in reverse and cause an unexpected situation.
However, he also felt that Chen Wei's attitude towards him was not warm and he still kept a certain distance. Du Tuo felt that this might also be related to Chen Wei's background.
He also knew that when Jiang Feng was in Jianzhou, local gentry like Chen Tan also had a somewhat vague attitude towards Jiang Feng. This is probably because Chen Wei is now intending to remain neutral to avoid creating a bad impression on Jiang Feng.
However, Du Tuo believed that his suggestion was in line with Jiang Feng's intention. The imprint of the beam on the Huaiyou land was deep enough and needed to be downplayed and balanced. He believed that with Chen Wei's eyes, he would not be unable to see this.
Of course, Chen Wei could understand the meaning in Du Tuo's words. In fact, he also knew that Jiang Feng had this intention, and this would be more conducive to the stability of Huaiyou. However, Du Tuo's proposal to tie Li Jin to the court is not very desirable.
Guanzhong has fallen. Now the king of the Central Plains is Daliang. Maintaining a good relationship with Daliang is the most important thing. If Caizhou wants to fight against Huai, it will never remain unchanged because of your court's opposition. However, Caizhou needs to consider Daliang's attitude.
Even if Jiang Feng really intends to marry Li Jin, he still needs to wait until the situation in Huaiyou is stable and he can compete with Caizhou alone without relying on Daliang, and only then dare to say that he can ignore Daliang's attitude.
"Mr. Du, I think that with the relationship between our Huaiyou and the court, there is no big problem in recruiting scholars in Guanzhong now. I have also mentioned to me that what we lack most at the moment is not the official officials who are independent, but more are officials at the county and township level. Due to the ravage of ant thieves, the task of reconstruction and restoration of counties is very heavy. This requires officials who are skilled in county and township practice. These people are what we need most. Guanzhong is narrow and dense, and officials at the prefecture and county level are floating. If the adults can recruit some scholars and officials to our Huaiyou through Princess Jin's private channels, I think it may be more appropriate."
Chen Wei's words were pertinent, and Du Tuo was moved slightly when he heard this. He had to admit that this character who grew up from a county magistrate was really real and had a deep understanding of county and township practice.
"Mr. Chen, if we use this method, it may be difficult to solve the current dilemma of our Huaiyou?" Du Tuo pondered for a while, "Guanzhong is Guanzhong after all, and the first-level officials of prefectures and counties are to be recruited to our Huaiyou. I am afraid that many people are reluctant to do so."
"You have to try it out. You can calculate a few. Of course, this trick alone is definitely not enough."
Chen Wei also knew the current dilemma of the three prefectures and ten counties. However, under this situation, Jiang Feng has always demanded that he would rather be insignificant than be too careless now than to let the clerks poison the people, especially the case with several newly established counties.
"Mr. Chen, what if we use the method of communication in other places? For example, the officials from the Umeda Zheng family in Shouzhou are not very relieved to be placed in Shouzhou, but can we put them in Gwangzhou? Then the communication in Gwangzhou is in Gwangzhou, and the communication in Shouzhou can also be solved. "When Wang Huang also intervened, "the communication in this way is not suitable for such communication in this way, at least it is necessary to have a county level. In addition, the number should not be too large, so as not to affect local governance."
"Zan Jiang's words make sense. Communication can have some effect, but it should not be too big." Jiang Feng walked in.
All three of them stood up and bowed: "Sir."
"Sit down, we are just a few of us, there is no need to be polite." Jiang Feng took a breath, "I have been a little confused in the past few days and can't sleep. I'm thinking about how to polish our Huaiyou. It turns out that there is only one Zhouzhou and I don't feel it, and I feel at ease. When Shouzhou Yipeng comes in, and Guangzhou can't let go, I feel a little overwhelmed. What I told you the day before yesterday is to let you speak freely. As long as we can solve the current difficulties of our Huaiyou, we just ask if it is successful or not, let's consider it, can we have a strategy?"
"Sir, we have also discussed it over the past few days, and there are some ideas, but there are more or less defects. However, due to the current situation of Huaiyou, even if there are some disadvantages, it is better than nothing." Chen Wei bowed.
"Well, then don't hide it, hurry up and shake it out." Seeing that the few people were a little serious, Jiang Feng laughed, "As long as there is a way, we will not be afraid of going there. It's better than sitting there and waiting for death."
Chen Wei was not polite, and he explained the strategies that the three of them had discussed over the past few days one by one.
In fact, there are only a few.
First, to extend external targets, Guanzhong is the first choice, and you can also consider selecting in Huaibei. Because Huaibei is now in a corruption, many ordinary officials are also escaping everywhere. If they can attract one or two, it will be considered a little supplement. Of course, this still requires selection and investigation.
The second is to recommend internal selection, and the focus is on the gentry of this week's county, which also covers children of poor and common people who are well-known and scholars who have served as officials.
The third is training, which is also the big framework proposed by Jiang Feng. Chen Wei and the other two carefully pondered it. It is mainly selected and trained by the scholars from the three states.
Most of these scholars have never served as officials. Even though they are good at writing, they have no practical experience and cannot undertake the practice at all.
The three of them meant to set up a training school in Wuzhou, and to invite veteran officials who retired because of their old age to be responsible for teaching these scholars and Caosi's practices. They can conduct training according to the actual situation, according to the training methods of the three states in January, March, and half a year.
Then, after a period of time, these retired officials took these "students" to select several counties with more affairs to conduct "internships", and through "internships", they tested the learning achievements of these scholars, and determined the positions they will be assigned in the future based on their "internship" performance.
