Han Dao world

Chapter 969
Xun Chen thought about it carefully, and felt that Zhong Yao's words were reasonable, but not entirely correct.

According to Zhong Yao, no qualified person can be selected to serve as a meritorious officer.

People who come to Bohai for the sake of good government come from all over the world. Even if they have heard about it, or even have a relationship with each other, they are not familiar with each other. It is not easy to know the strengths and weaknesses of each other and bestow them with suitable official positions. thing.

Don't you want to make meritorious service, learn from the emperor's New Deal in Jizhou, and use the method of examination?
This obviously won't work.

"From Yuan Chang's point of view, what should we do?"

"Youruo should have met Xu Wenxiu in Chang'an, how could you forget the other host of Yuedan Review?"

Xun Chen was taken aback. "Xu Zijiang?"

"Exactly. I have already written to him, asking him to come to Bohai Sea." Zhong Yao stroked his beard with confidence. "Not only do I want to recommend him as Bohai's meritorious service, but I also want to invite him to reopen the Yuedan Review in Bohai."

The corner of Xun Chen's mouth twitched, and he didn't speak for a while.

"You don't agree?" Zhong Yao narrowed his eyes.

Xun Chen took a deep breath and slowly regained his composure. "Yuan Chang has made outstanding achievements in Shangdang. He is willing to abandon his official position in Bohai for the sake of benevolent government. He is a county magistrate. His loyalty is commendable. How can I not agree. But even if Xu Zijiang knows people, he may need some time to get familiar with him when he first arrives in Bohai. For the current plan, it is better for Han Xuan to be in charge."

Zhong Yao thought for a while, nodded his head slightly, and agreed with Xun Chen's opinion.

"When passing through Weijun and Qinghe, I saw the mansion newspaper soliciting party affairs."

"I saw it too." Xun Chen felt a little bitter in his heart.

Before seeing the Di Bao, he had already received a letter from Xun Yu, knowing that the matter was irreversible.Whether it is the meaning of the emperor or Yang Biao, the court's liquidation of the party members is imperative.

And it is a reason that people cannot refuse: only when you know your mistakes can you correct them.

The emperor reduced the scale of the palace and greatly reduced the consumption of the royal family first, and no one could refuse this proposal.

It was also because of this that he desperately hoped that Zhang Zhao would succeed, so as to prove that although the party members were somewhat extreme, they were doing it for a noble purpose, not for personal gain.

It didn't succeed before because the emperor didn't cooperate and blocked it, which forced the party members to go to extremes.

But after arriving in Bohai for a while, he realized that it is not easy to achieve this.

Governance is very complicated. Although Bohai is only a county, a large number of interpersonal relationships have made him tired of coping.He originally thought that because of his lack of experience in local governance, it would be fine if Zhong Yao came.Now that Zhong Yao came, he realized that Zhong Yao seemed to be more extreme than him.

It is also true, if Zhong Yao is not extreme, how can he give up Shangdang Taidang and come to Bohai to serve as a county magistrate.

Xun Chen had some ominous premonition.

-

Zhang Zhao warmly received Zhong Yao and exchanged opinions on how to govern.

Zhong Yao was outspoken and put forward his own opinions.

Today's Bohai County is different from ordinary counties and states. A large number of people have moved out, and a large number of gentry have moved in. Today, the majority of the population in Bohai is not Bohai people, but foreigners, especially the four prefectures of Yanyu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.Therefore, it is no longer possible to follow the old system of appointing locals as meritorious officials, chief bookkeepers, and chief clerks. Regional restrictions should be discarded and admissions should be based on merit.

What is the biggest advantage of Bohai today?It is not land, nor property, but talents.

Scholars and bureaucrats from all over the world gathered in Bohai, so that Bohai has a large number of talents available.In line with the principle of emphasizing talents and using abilities, the selection of high officials should not be limited to the county of Bohai.Local people familiar with the situation should be given priority only when the officials are at the level of official affairs, and when they are dealing with specific affairs.

Before Zhong Yao finished speaking, Han Xuan sneered, "Mr. Zhong's words made me sigh like deja vu."

Zhong Yao said unhurriedly: "I also ask Gongcao for advice."

Han Xuan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "In the sixth year of Zhongping, Yuan Benchu ​​went eastward to Bohai, and was later appointed by Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Bohai. The accompanying monarchs were also full of talents, including Ruying, and the grand occasion was no less than today."

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhong Yao, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that after the battle of Yecheng, these Ruying talents fell in love with the court and became officials one after another. Only a few of them came to Bohai Sea. In this regard, I am still very disappointed." Those who admire Zhong Jun know what is impossible and do it."

Zhong Yao was a little embarrassed.

He could understand Han Xuan's ridicule.

When Yuan Shao ran eastward, he did not follow Yuan Shao.Now that Yuan Shao was defeated, he came to Bohai, but intentionally or unintentionally copying Yuan Shao's approach, trying to let the foreign manpower overwhelm the locals in Bohai, which is somewhat overreaching.

That's what Han Xuan meant when he said that he "does what he knows can't be done".

"Why should a meritorious Cao be cowardly before fighting?" Zhong Yao said solemnly: "With the permission of the emperor, to conduct a virtuous government in the Bohai Sea, the four sides are all talented, so how can you be a talented man in Ruying? The meritorious Cao Mengfu is highly valued, and it is time to devote all his efforts Helping each other, why do you come up with the words of the Jujun?"

Han Xuan sneered and said: "Xuan Bucai, he used to fight in battle, and he knew a little about the reason why he was invincible first, and then victorious. I asked myself that I have little knowledge, and I dare not sit with a group of sages. I also ask the lord to choose another wise man, so as not to be mistaken." The great cause of Confucianism."

He said, stood up, and flicked his sleeves. "After Xuzhou's defeat, I have already felt ashamed of General Yuan, and I can no longer disappoint Mr. Zhang Fu. I will leave."

After speaking, he bowed his hands to Zhang Zhao and left the hall.

Xun Chen smiled wryly, and while winking at Zhong Yao, he got up and went after Han Xuan.

Zhang Zhao was also a little helpless.

It was a good thing that Zhong Yao came.Although there are many people who come to Bohai, there are few people with actual governance experience. People like Zhong Yao who have been in charge of a county for several years and who have practical experience are willing to live in a county are his rare helpers.

But he never expected that Zhong Yao would be so aggressive that he would fight Han Xuan before the seat was warmed up.

Seeing the faces of the chief bookkeeper and chief secretary made him scratch his head.

"What Mr. Zhong said is indeed reasonable, but the situation in Bohai Sea is complicated, and it may be difficult to implement it immediately. How about choosing a county to try it out first?"

Hurry up and take office, don't cause trouble in the county government.

Zhong Yao didn't refuse. "Since Yao is here, it's all up to the Lord's orders."

Zhang Zhao looked at Guo Jian, the chief bookkeeper beside him.

Guo Jian pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhong used to be the Taidang of the Shangdang Party. He has outstanding achievements in his political affairs. He can be a high-ranking official and govern the drama county. Yangxin is near the sea, and pirates often appear and invade the interior. Why don't you ask Mr. Zhong to be the leader of Yangxin?" Commander, to govern the people and reject bandits, to keep one side peaceful?"

Zhong Yao didn't refuse either. "Can."

Guo Jian exchanged glances with Yuan Wu, the reporter at the side, and smiled knowingly.

Zhang Zhao saw it and didn't stop him.

Although Guo Jian intentionally made things difficult for Zhong Yao, the reason was justified.Yangxin really needs a capable county magistrate, otherwise pirates may come to rob at any time, and other counties will not be able to develop.

Zhong Yao has the ability and prestige, maybe he can bring more Ruying people to Yangxin to enrich the local household registration.

Because of the cancellation of the Dutian Order, most of the local people in Yangxin moved to the adjacent Pingyuan County, and now they are empty.
