0540 Guanzhong is dangerous, but there is no Tianfu

After reviewing the list submitted by Yao Yuanchong, Li Tong asked again: "Have the regulations for the selection and recruitment have been drafted?"

He is indeed short of talent use at present, but he does not intend to package all the people who are put into use. He is not a garbage dump here, so he still needs to have necessary assessments, and the standards must be placed very strictly.

After hearing this, Yao Yuanchong nodded: "The current specialty of classics, poetry, essays, bows and horses are all selected. Just wait for your highness to teach you, and you can choose to reap the rewards in the near future."

Yao Yuanchong has now entered the ranking of senior officials in the Southern Province. Although he has not presided over the selection of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War also has similar selections, which is not unfamiliar with this set of regulations.

Of course, it is definitely inappropriate for them to do these things in Chang'an without the instruction of the court. At most, they will hold similar gatherings in the name of King Yong's personal, and they will definitely not be completely comparable to the court.

After reviewing the charter, Li Tong nodded and said, "Just do this. The candidates are waiting for call at home and are not allowed to go out of the city at will soon."

After saying that, he saw Yao Yuanchong looking eager to speak but stopped, and then smiled and said, "Tell me if you have something to do."

After hearing this, Yao Yuanchong took a deep breath and said, "Song Army has been in various camps outside the city recently, and its actions are quite contrary to the usual practices. The special camp recruits poor soldiers, which makes people feel quite complained."

Song Jing was recommended by Yao Yuanchong to King Yong. Of course, he was quite optimistic about the talent of this young man, but in Yao Yuanchong's view, some of Song Jing's recent behaviors cannot be considered good or bad. The key is that they are inappropriate and too radical.

Originally, Yao Yuanchong did not intend to talk about this topic in front of King Yong. He had a little hint to Song Jing before, but Song Jing was still the same. Especially not long ago, he also submitted a list of poor scholars in the mansion. Yao Yuanchong felt that he still had to talk about it.

"It is true that talent is used without subdividing the scholars and common people. Especially in Xijing, all the people are in ruins and need to recruit talents. The Lords of Xijing are in great power and may not be able to concentrate on their work. This is indeed a problem and needs to be carefully examined and used. However, most of the people sent by the Song Army were in the camp who were waiting for crimes, and they were confused about the right and wrong, confused about the righteousness, and rashly taught them, which was still inappropriate."

Yao Yuanchong knew that Song Jing dared to do this, so he was naturally instructed by King Yong. At the same time, he could also feel the resistance of His Highness Yong to the nobles of Xijing, and his words were still tactful, but he also had to express his views on this.

The people in Xijing are obsessed with power and are keen on the one hand to gain weight, but on the other hand, it is undeniable that their upbringing and talents are definitely stronger than ordinary people. If they are only considering the power and position, they will be quite unfavorable for the governance of Chang'an and even the entire Guan'an operation.

Not to mention the number of officials in Guanwendao, thousands of people are needed. If you exclude some people just because of your origin, it is really not conducive to establishing effective controls in the entire Guanwendao.

Among the poor people, there are not all those who are talented, but relatively speaking, the chance of qualified talents emerging is definitely not high.

Song Jing directly recruited talents in the chaotic private camp. To put it in a low position, it lowered the standard for talent admission, and to put it in a serious position, it directly shook the cohesion of King Yong. After all, no one who has a little talent and integrity is willing to work with the prisoners.

And there is another more important point, that is, the main reason for the turmoil in Xijing is the guests who poured into Chang'an City in the surrounding countryside. No matter how cold and helpless these guests are, the damage they caused to Chang'an is real. It is human nature that the people of Chang'an hate the guests.

His Highness Yong had a kind heart and provided relief to the rioters, which was nothing. But if the guests were recruited into the shogunate as officials, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, it would be a naked shelter.

If it is not handled properly, the conflict between local tourists will intensify. The next time it breaks out, it may be a more serious turmoil.

After listening to Yao Yuanchong's statement, Li Tong was silent for a moment, and then said again: "Previously, Song Chanjun mentioned this matter and also stated the dispute between local tourists. The future troubles of local tourists and guest tourists are indeed a key to whether Chang'an can be restored. If this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably be deeply internal and difficult to keep one's hope."

Chang'an has many narrow towns, so the conflict between local people and guest people is particularly acute. This is not only the issue of household registration for citizens, but also involves the allocation of production resources such as land. It is the basis for whether a regime can maintain stability for a long time.

Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing both noticed this issue and placed it in an extremely important position. Li Tong was not surprised by this.

Both of these two were famous ministers in the early Kaiyuan period, laying a solid foundation for the prosperous Kaitian period. The reason why the Tang Dynasty could quickly recover its national strength after experiencing the turmoil between the Wu Zhou and Zhongzong Dynasty and rush out of the territory to create a great momentum in the future is that these two people are indelible.

In addition to creating a relatively clear political ecology in the early Kaiyuan period, they also made an important contribution to the solution of this fundamental problem. Of course, it cannot be said to be a solution, because this contradiction always existed by the farming regime, but it was greatly alleviated during their term of office, laying the foundation for the revival of national strength.

After Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing successively stopped the ministers, although there were still many famous ministers in the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, the distribution of production resources was far less powerful than these two people. Even the reason why Song Jing was dismissed was that he incited public anger against the interests of the powerful and noble class.

Although the subsequent prime ministers were all outstanding, they did not surpass the country plan of Yao and Song.

Yuwen Rong, Pei Yaoqing and other experts came to power one by one. Even the traitor Li Linfu created a long-term order to save administrative expenses and were mostly good strategies to follow in later generations, but the improvement of national strength is far inferior to Yao and Song.

After the Anshi Rebellion, although the financial reform of a capable minister Liu Yan of a generation was effective, its focus was on the integration and scheduling of regional resources and increased efforts in logistics.

As for the two tax laws implemented during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, although they were a milestone progress in tax law reform, they also mean that the original ruling technology was insufficient to maintain. The court had to explore financial resources on the premise of recognizing the allocation of existing social resources, and had lost the ability to redistribute social resources.

There is a core solution to the conflict between the local and the customer, that is, to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land. However, this method cannot be used lightly, because the key point is where your butt is sitting.

In his heart, Li Tong was of course willing to stand with the people, otherwise he would not have such a vicious attitude towards the powerful people in Chang'an City. But the problem is that the people may not be willing to stand with him, or the people at present do not have enough strength to welcome this change.

The most direct phenomenon is that the city of Chang'an has been in chaos for more than a month, and these rioters cannot even conquer the eastern part of Zhuque Street where the powerful live. The only time they have been to break through was that more than a dozen nobles in Chang'an City opened their doors to invite thieves to the west, preparing to cause trouble for the waters.

Li Tong was helpless even if he couldn't get through his thoughts and organizational construction.

He has not reached the level of invincibility in the world yet, and he also needs to continue to absorb and accumulate strength. Otherwise, if he wants to carry out such a level of social reform, he will definitely be beaten by the counterattack. Those people do not have the power to protect and support him at the moment.

So when Song Jing proposed to recruit some talent from the rioters, Li Tong nodded in agreement although he felt it was a bit inappropriate. If the people want to gain support and protect him, early support and investment are indispensable. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and we must take the first step.

Song Jing and Yao Yuanchong made suggestions respectively, and the discussions were all the same problem, but their attitudes were a bit confrontational. There was no completely different, but Song Jing was relatively more radical, and he was considering the problem from the side of the guest.

As for Yao Yuanchong, he considered the local people more and was a little conservative, hoping to be slightly tilted against the local people while maintaining the old order and suppress the guest people.

These two attitudes cannot be said to be better or worse, nor is it a dispute over the line, it is nothing more than a difference in importance. However, when it comes to being more timely, it is undoubtedly Yao Yuanchong. After all, whether it is qualifications or political maturity, including growth in the camp, Yao Yuanchong is higher than Song Jing.

What Song Jing is considering now is only to solve the problem of local tourists, but Yao Yuanchong is considering a wider range. It is necessary to restore order and re-stimulate vitality as soon as possible. It is necessary to ensure that His Highness Yong can further influence and control the military groups on the frontier, and even return to Shendu in the future. This requires ensuring that Guanzhong has stable and stable hematopoietic ability in the long term.

If you want Guanzhong to restore stable development as soon as possible, you cannot destroy too much of the old order.

Speaking of this issue, Yao Yuanchong said seriously: "Although Guanzhong has the danger of being surrounded by four people, it is no longer the reality of the Heavenly Mansion. The west and north are all the troubles of being in the heart. There may be disputes over tripods and tools. This is a temporary preservation and is definitely not a land of long-term possession. If it is exhausted too much, it will definitely not be worth the loss!"

Li Tong was silent again after hearing this. He was not surprised that Yao Yuanchong had seen through his little thoughts. After all, the lice on the bald head crawled so clearly no matter how fast it was.

"The local people and the guest people are all kings. Now they are attacking each other and become enemies, but the guest people are weak after all. If I do not survive, the people may not be able to survive. Therefore, what I seek now is to allow both of them to gain something and comfort each other."

In his heart, Li Tong also recognized Yao Yuanchong more. Local people are more stable than guests, regardless of taxes or military resources.

But since he supported Song Jing, of course he would not change the orders every day. After thinking about it, he said to Yao Yuanchong again: "It is better to go out to patrol the camp and see the results for the time being?"
