In July, the Border Fuyuan Department participated in the training and training, and the scale was not too large. Compared with the fact that many thousands of people were required for other subjects, it was obvious that Shiliu was not very enthusiastic about border affairs.

Moreover, there are many people who are just a mess, such as those who linger in Beijing and refuse to leave. The reason why these people are not necessarily because they have border affairs or are interested in it. They simply regard this as an opportunity to make a shot first if they have dates or no dates.

The change in the world style is not a matter of time, especially when it comes to the future of life, there will inevitably be more concerns. The court also foreseeed this. After screening out some of the mischief, the remaining candidates were carefully selected and finally selected the three candidates.

Such a selection ratio seems extremely amazing, but this is the norm that the system should be held. The system will be opened when encountering problems, which is far different from the Ming Jing and Jinshi regular exams. It should be more targeted and pragmatic, and the election standards for talents will naturally be more strict.

The Guoyun Meiyu Technology, which Li Tong originally opened, was originally intended to enrich the Jiying Pavilion, and was used as a reserve talent for training, so he chose twenty-four Shi Liu Junyan. Such a number of choices is already extremely rare in the process of the examination.

However, this time, when recruiting border talents, we must directly invest them for the frontier line for training and use. If the entrusted person is not human, the border affairs situation may be implicated and damaged, so we will naturally be more cautious in the choice of talents, and we will definitely rather be insignificant than indiscriminate.

After sending the list this time, the prime minister Zhang Renyuan also briefly stated his criteria for selecting officials and grading papers: "This time, I will not use family background as a test, nor will I use style as a reference. Whether or not to choose or not is a plan. Anyone who has a beautiful writing or a beautiful border affairs will be dismissed, and those who have no intention of making words will inevitably be clever and shallow..."

When Li Tong heard Zhang Renyuan's comment, he adjusted his sitting posture unnaturally. Although most of his poems and essays were borrowed, he felt more or less offended by Zhang Renyuan's comments.

Zhang Renyuan also noticed that he had a slight mistake. After a moment of pause, he said: "The sage is different from ordinary talents and the lord of the world. However, he can recognize people and use them well and accept advice humbly. He will naturally not worry about picking up the details and making up for the shortcomings, and is generally comprehensive."

You might as well not explain. Don’t mention this. I will recover after a while. This statement made me feel a little petty, but it didn’t make me happy!

Li Tong complained in his heart and waved his hand to signal Zhang Renyuan to continue speaking.

"Anyone who is not focused on his words and is good at talking about things but loses his practice. The border affairs are complicated and the work is practiced by himself. If the intention is floating, the recklessness will be rash, and if the big ones are greedy, the small ones will be lost. If the war is serious, the power will be dependent on the king. Even if the war is temporarily settled, the ministers cannot use it lightly. If the ministers are thirsty for their achievements, they will become more arrogant. The border commander only uses the walls and stones, and the war is rejected by the court..."

After hearing Zhang Renyuan talk about this, Li Tong couldn't help but feel happy. Of course, he expressed his agreement with this point of view, but it was inevitable that he could feel strange when he said this from Zhang Renyuan. It should be noted that when this guy was in the northeast, he did not ask for instructions on the court more than once. Although he was a civil servant, he was a typical example of attack instead of defense.

But now that I have become the prime minister in the court, I feel that the subjective initiative of the border general is a disadvantage in the standards for selecting people. This is really a matter of whether it is the butt or not. Today is no longer the me who was yesterday, and it keeps pace with the times.

Li Tong basically agreed with the selection criteria listed by Zhang Renyuan, but when his eyes fell on the list of people submitted by Zhang Renyuan, he was still stunned.

The three candidates who should be selected are Liu Yu, Shimao Order Liu Yu, Privy Council Yingyuan student Xiao Song, and Yongzhou selector Tian Renwan. Seeing Xiao Song's name listed, Li Tong couldn't help but feel relieved for this guy. It was really not easy, and he finally got to the point of making a comeback.

As one of the famous officials of Kaiyuan, Xiao Song is also a late-stage model. Before he became famous, there was another nickname, embroidered pillow.

When talking about his background, this guy is not bad. He was born in the famous Lanling Xiao family in Jiangnan and the Southern Dynasty Emperor Sect. He is also a handsome guy with good looks. When talking about his connections, he has a lot of friendship with scholars in Jiangnan, such as Lu Jingchu, He Zhizhang, and even Prime Minister Yao Yuanchong, and often has contacts.

But when it comes to talent, it is hard to describe it. That is, Li Tong has paid attention to this guy because of some memories of later generations. If he didn't have this understanding, who would recommend Xiao Song's article to him? Li Tong might just slap the man on the face. This guy's article level is probably a little better than my son Li Daonu, so he still recommends it. Where is the face?

As for the Yongzhou selector Tian Renwan, Li Tong looked at his family's hometown and found that he was also one of the nobles of Guanlong. He followed Tian Guinong, the minister in the court. Tian Guidao is of the same clan. His family background is not as prominent as the old aristocratic clans, but his talent and desire to make progress are quite impressive.

Li Tong also read the articles of these two people. Among them, Xiao Song talked about the strategies of restraining the Hu Hu in the Western Regions. The article was well aware of the forces of the foreign Hu in the vast area of ​​Longyou to Anxi, and even sorted out the relationship between the Hu Hu Hu. It can be seen that he was indeed careful in this regard.

As for the source of its information, it probably comes from the classmates of the Eagle Garden and Leopard House. In the past few years, the court's military service agency has recruited many soldiers to conduct systematic training, including Gao Xianzhi's father, Gao Sheji, who was born in Goguryeo City.

As an old student in Yingyuan, Xiao Song squatted for several years. The article submitted this time is enough to show that he has not wasted the past few years. He understands that he should have no chance to make a name for himself in terms of articles and politics, so he simply focuses on his understanding of the nonsense of border affairs.

Although the text of this article is as unsightly as ever, the content is detailed and detailed. Fortunately, the person who presided over the system this time was Zhang Renyuan. One of the criteria for selection was different from previous years. Two of the article, the traitors of the Xihexing Society who had been in Anxi for several years and had been in charge of many years were naturally aware of the Hu feelings in the Western Regions, so they could see the value of this article.

If these conditions are not true, Xiao Song will probably find it difficult to stand out and will continue to sit on the bench. After all, even if Li Tong pays a little attention to him, he will not be able to always pay attention to his growth. Moreover, the world is very different now. Who knows whether Xiao Song can achieve his original achievements? Of course, Li Tong cannot teach the military state affairs with some vain understanding before his ability is verified.

As for Tian Renwan, he mainly talks about opening border farmland, which should have a certain family background. Because his uncle Tian Guinong, his tribe, was an official in charge of the vast households in the pass during the Xingtai period.

To be honest, Li Tong really doesn't know much about the military farming environment and military farming strategies on the border. He has been to this world, and so far, the farthest place he has been to is Shanzhou in Longyou. Most of the time he spends his time wandering between the two capitals.

In fact, he also had some idea of ​​patrolling the border, and wanted to go to the Tang Dynasty to see it in person, but until now, he had no chance. He could not leave a business in Beijing and take a trip that could go on at will. Maybe Emperor Yang of Sui, a hundred years ago, would be happy to look at him in the spring.

Although his own knowledge and experience were not enough to make Li Tong judge whether this article was good or bad, he saw that several reviewers, including Zhang Renyuan, gave a low evaluation at the end of the book, and then Li Tong agreed that Tian Renwan was indeed a talent for inter-related affairs.

The two selected people are just overwhelmed, but Liu Yu is a little eye-catching when it comes to the market trade.

Although the number of participants in this system of elections is not large, the specifications are not low. Not only are people who have not yet served as officials in the capital, but officials who are already in charge of the court are also allowed to participate. If any ministers are indeed relevant and want to adjust their jobs, they have to join the army and go to the border to make contributions, the court will naturally welcome this.

However, Liu Yu is really a bit special. The Municipal Trade Department is the ReShi Shi, which is now quite powerful in Beijing. As the chief of the yamen, Liu Yu has even reached the position of the Ministry of Education. He is already the backbone of the court clerk, and is only one step away from the fourth-rank Tonggui.

Such an official position is actually necessary to participate in the ranks, which is really contrary to common sense and cannot be understood. In addition, the division of powers and ownership of the Municipal Trade Department is still quite controversial in the court. So after seeing that Liu Yu was also on the list, Li Tong subconsciously felt something strange.

Although he was a little confused, Li Tong did not show it in front of Zhang Renyuan, nor did he immediately approve the list. Instead, he waved his hand to signal Zhang Renyuan to return to the government affairs hall first, and then ordered the central government to go to the Imperial City Yashi to summon Liu Yu to the city trade order.

After waiting for half an hour, Liu Yu came late under the leadership of the Zhongguan. Seeing Liu Yu's messy hair and beards and the ink traces on the front of the crimson official robe, Li Tong put down the Chinese letter and smiled and said, "The government office is in a lot of trouble, Liu Ling should be very busy, right?"

"I am grateful to the Emperor of Lotus, pay more and use more, and I should donate all my talents and strive for them!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu hurriedly bowed and said, his process of taking office was bizarre and rapid, and he had not had much experience in discussing affairs with the saint in person, so he seemed a little nervous and dull at the moment.

Hearing this well-behaved answer, Li Tong smiled slightly, and then his face became stern, and he said, "Since the yamen office is tired and has no time to have free time, Liu Ling is loyal to the emperor and the country, and is diligent, how can he have free time to participate in the court's department's department management through the border Fuyuan? Is there a strong and incomprehensible Qu Yin? From the truth!"

Seeing that the saint's expression suddenly became severe, Liu Yu became panicked at once. After praying, he had already stood up and walked to the seat under the guidance of the Zhongguan. After hearing this, he hurriedly returned to the hall. He knelt on the ground with a thud, sweating on his forehead, and said tremblingly: "The saint is indeed aware of his slightestness. I have no choice but to do this..."

Hearing Liu Yu say this, Li Tong's face suddenly became more serious: "The court uses scholars, so how can private feelings be disturbed! Since Liu's resignation, I have also read through all his previous duties. I can be a mere Guizhou leader and serve as a chief minister in the Southern Province. I have to give him kindness. What kind of evil feelings can make you respond without authorization and resist the national use?"

Although the court has always advocated and encouraged court officials to actively respond to national use and serve in local areas, the situation cannot be generalized. The fundamental significance of this move is to balance the lack of talent use between the central government and local governments, and to transfer the idle and surplus talent power of the central government to local governments, and achieve the optimal allocation of human resources.

But as a subordinate, Liu Yu was in charge of the affairs of the Municipal Trade Department, so of course he did not have the ability to spare. If he went to the local area, the court would immediately select people to take over his work, which might not be able to ensure the normal operation of the Municipal Trade Department.

Therefore, some idle officials went to the local area and were in a noble manner, corresponding to the call of the court. In the eyes of the saints, Liu Yu did this, which was ignorant of politeness and resisted the use of the country.

Hearing the saint's rebuke, Liu Yu was already filled with tears, and he kowtowed and said tremblingly: "What is my true nature? I know my heart. The old capital suburbs of the capital were forced to live in the capital, but I did not want to be in trouble in the capital, and I became a slave to sin... Fortunately, fortunately, the saint's benevolence and morality were conquered, and the Song envoy lowered his eyes to appreciate it, and raised his ministers to the crime gate, and enjoyed the official body... Now I have more gratitude and have been given to the court. The charity of the king is far more abundant! How precious is this despicable body? Enjoy this kind of gratitude, and I have never dared to have any other thoughts..."

"Only, there is only one thing that cannot be relieved. In the old year, I went to the capital and suffered chaos. My younger brother was scattered in the city. I still have life and death. Now I am honored in the capital, but my brothers know where they are. I always miss you and can't sleep at night. I occasionally dream of you. My father and mother call me and scold me. I have no words to respond... After several inquiries, I know that many chaos in the capital were scattered in Anbei, Shuofang. Therefore, I am due to my personal affairs. I hope to be able to serve Anbei, and I can not only patrol the borders for the country, but also investigate locally..."

When Li Tong heard Liu Yu's sad statement, he was stunned at first, and then he was moved, and even felt a little ashamed.

He thought that Liu Yu's behavior that went against common sense was a secret threat from the forces that he had never noticed, and he was afraid, so he let his subordinates do not do it, but instead wanted to go to the frontier to suffer, but he did not expect that it was such a very affectionate and instinct.

Li Tong was also a mastermind behind the secret operation in Beijing that year. Of course, he understood that this behavior would definitely implicate innocent people, but he used a temporary chaos to usher in a better political environment to comfort himself. Moreover, his governance of Guanzhong and even the entire world over the years has not violated his idea.

But when the specific victim appears in front of him and states the harm that cannot be resolved so far, he is of course a little ashamed.

"Enjoy a great human relationship and righteousness are difficult to take away even if the national law is in trouble. I blame Liu Qing."

He got up and went down to the hall, helped Liu Yu, who was crying and worshiping, and sent him to the table. Until Liu Yu's excitement calmed down, he said again: "Liu Qing is here to take the exam, and the invigilator's evaluation is not low. I have read it, but there are a few details in it, and there are still some doubts."

After hearing this, Liu Yu hurriedly wiped away the tears from his face and clasped his fists and said, "I don't deserve a great reward for my opinion. If the saint asks, he should explain his thoughts in detail."

After hearing Liu Yu say this, Li Tong returned to the imperial case and brought Liu Yu's article of strategy. Liu Yu's strategy mainly talks about border pastoral affairs, but it is not the Ma Zheng, which is closely related to military affairs, but the pastoral supervision of the Hu people.

"Liu Qing's story said that the materials purchased by Zhuhu markets are inconsistent and difficult to make use of, so it is necessary to divide pastoral areas, uniformly give them, and then make a comeback. This idea is indeed unique. However, Zhuhu has moved into nature and has no fixed place to live. Even if most of them can always do comeback, it is inevitable that they will repeatedly make a comeback..."

After hearing the questions related to the saints, Liu Yu began to answer some questions that were limited by the length of the article and could not be involved: "I am appointed as the Municipal Trade Department, the commercial commander, and I have seen it very deeply. In the north, all the trades are the first priority. From the second year of Kaiyuan to the present, the goods price has reached more than 30 million pieces. For the fortifications in the Beijing area, it also requires more materials from Hu. However, the trade income is mixed with good and inferior, and the processing is complicated, and it is difficult to bear the material... "

The industry and commerce of the Tang Dynasty were developed, and the raw materials purchased from Zhuhu were also an important cornerstone to support the development of industry and commerce. In this trade process, the Tang Dynasty naturally had an absolute dominant position, searching for various raw materials at low prices and dumping all kinds of goods at high prices.

However, the quality of Zhuhu’s raw materials is not guaranteed. After all, they do not have a unified production and standard concept, and these raw materials are dumped at low prices, so they are even more uneasy about this.

Liu Yu was in charge of the Municipal Trade Department and saw that many materials transported from Hu Township, which were not of quality and too complicated to process, which occupied storage space and had to be burned. Therefore, he had related ideas, intending to gradually standardize the output of Hu people's animal husbandry through the guidance of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Liu Yu's ideas were not simply concentrated on commercial matters. While supervising the entry and exit of materials, he noticed that the fur products in several places were of excellent quality and were very popular. So he thought that he would select the sheep from these places and make a detailed match, and gradually replace the sheep that Zhuhu has raised today.

The Hu Hu were based on animal husbandry, and all food and clothing were produced. The cattle and horses they raised were also able to adapt to the environment, resist disasters, etc. However, if the Tang Dynasty took the initiative to give seeds and used various means such as commerce and tribute, they would undoubtedly have a more way to check and balance the cattle and sheep they raised.

Li Tong was naturally quite interested in this idea proposed by Liu Yu. But there was still a point of hesitation, that is, whether the current breeding level and the level of animal husbandry and medical technology can reach the level of forming technical barriers.

Liu Yu also has a very in-depth understanding of this, and the answer is very difficult. But even if he cannot fully control it, it does not mean that there is no room for operation.

"Although the Hu people do not enter the kingdom, they are also people who need to rely on food and clothing. However, they have the desire to survive, so they will inevitably be considered. Now that I buy materials in the Tang Dynasty, it has increased year by year, and it has become the lifeblood of many Hu tribes seeking food. If the good varieties are recommended, they will definitely be happy and unsatisfied. If the pastures are like plowing soil, they will always come out in the season, and they will not be happy to move. The Hu people who have no feet are like animals in the gate, which seem to be evil, but in fact they are bloody..."

While speaking, Liu Yu listed several types of cattle and sheep, either with abundant meat and firewood, or with heavy water and soil, each with certain restrictions. If the Tang Dynasty carried out hybrid cultivation in border pastoral areas, strengthened various livestock attributes, and promoted them to Zhuhu pastoral areas according to actual conditions, whether it was on-site detention or sending troops to conquer, it could not lose the cooperation on the military aircraft.

After hearing Liu Yu's explanation, Li Tong was constantly weighing the trade-offs. Even if this matter was out of control, it was amazing to send some better breeds of cattle and sheep to the Zhuhu tribe, even if they benefited from it and wanted to cash in, they had to rely on the vast market of the Tang Dynasty to achieve it.

As Liu Yu said, the Hu people who have no ability to migrate are angels with broken wings. When will I set up a pot to stew you? Do you still have to choose a life?

Of course, if you want to achieve strategic cooperation in biotechnology, you still need to continue research and development. Liu Yu should make this decision this time, and hopes to go to Shuofang and other places to conduct research on the spot.

Li Tong really had no way to evaluate Liu Yu's feelings. He didn't do anything to his subordinates and actually wanted to raise sheep on the border. But he was indeed happy about this, and he completely remembered Liu Yu.

But before Liu Yu was officially released, there was something to be dealt with, so Li Tong asked again: "Since Liu Qing is not happy to be in the middle, who can be worthy of this position in the market trade order? Do you have a good choice in your heart?"

"Shimai Song Bazi, the chief of the Municipal Trade, was born into a merchant. Since the establishment of the Ministry, I have been in this position and I have been in a lot of trouble. I have also relied on Song Bazi's assistance. To this day, many of the regulations and regulations in the company have been used by Song Chief. If the sage is not tired of his kindness, I think Song Bazi is indeed a good successor."

When Liu Yu heard the saint's inquiry, he hurriedly said.

"Song Bazi?"

Li Tong was stunned when he heard Liu Yu's recommendation, and then said, "Then we will come to the palace to see you tomorrow. Liu Qing asked him to prepare something. If the response is indeed appropriate, we will allow this recommendation. If you cannot, you still need to stay in the office and wait until the court selects a proper position and make a separate plan."

When Liu Yu heard this, he hurriedly stood up to thank him. Although his external tasks had not been finalized, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the care given to him by the saint.

"The country has laws, and people have feelings. Liu Qing can only be loyal and diligent in state affairs. If you can find your young brother in the next year, it is not a ten evil sin. I will write to forgive him!"

Looking at Liu Yu's expression of gratitude, Li Tong said with a smile.

"How lucky I am to have... I promised this to the Tang family and to the saints!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu burst into tears again and cried and bowed to the hall.
Chapter completed!
