Ming Zuo

Chapter 1579 Do What You Should Do
In any field in the world, the higher the level, the more you will find the importance of talents.

Just like if you want to study nuclear physics, do you need [-] graduate students, or one Einstein?
There is no doubt that Einstein was more important than [-] graduate students.

The same goes for administration.

As for grassroots administrative staff, as long as their quality passes the test, they will be fine.If you issue orders from above, work diligently, and be able to bear your temper, you can manage the grassroots well.

But at the top level, when grasping the context of the country, the influence and consequences of talent and mediocrity are very different.

As the emperor, there are two generals for you to choose.

One is Lu Xiangsheng and the other is Azig.

Who would you choose?

I believe that as long as the emperor has no brain problems, he will definitely choose Azig.

The government schools of the empire have now blossomed everywhere, providing the government with many administrative personnel.

But in general, there are few outstanding people.

After all, what the school can do is to stimulate the talents of talents, not to turn mediocre talents into talents.

Whether a person is a talent or not is actually determined from an early age.

Therefore, Zuo Menggeng always pays more attention to those talents who are famous in history.

In particular, talents in the rising period of a dynasty must be higher than talents in the declining period of the dynasty.

After all, these people were part of the reason for the decline of the dynasty.

Suo'etu and Mingzhu, as famous ministers during the Kangxi Dynasty, naturally made outstanding contributions in the process of the Qing Dynasty's prosperity.

Even if they end up miserable in the end, it does not affect their ability to engage in politics.

So Zuo Menggeng wrote a letter to Wang Siyi, asking her to bring Suo'etu and Mingzhu to the palace to grow up with other outstanding teenagers.

Perhaps with his influence, Suo'etu and Mingzhu's life paths will be smoother.

In Liaodong in March, the ice and snow began to melt.

At this time, people are about to start thinking about their livelihood for a year.

Farming is always the most important thing on this land.

After all, the land under our feet is so fertile, it must not be wasted.

And through farming, the Manchus can be distinguished.

The Manchus are different from other ethnic minorities in that their farming techniques are actually very good.

In the Nurhachi era, the Manchus had already cultivated in the mountains.

After immigrating a large number of Han Chinese, all the land in Liaodong was finally allocated.

The Manchus were not treated differently, and the land under their names was very good.

This made the Manchurians who are good at farming very satisfied and willing to obey the arrangements of officials.

How to resettle the Manchus who are not good at farming is actually the most important thing.

Ada squatted at the door of the house with his sleeves folded, feeling the coldness of the cold spring, and it was icy cold from the inside out.

He used to be a soldier of the Eight Banners, and he became a prisoner in the battle of Xilamulun River.

He thought he would be killed, but after screening, he was actually released.

When Ada returned home, he found that his mother, younger brother, and younger sister were all well, so he stopped thinking about finding his master and restoring the Qing Dynasty.

But when spring came, difficulties came with it.

The rice jar at home was empty, and the growling stomachs of his brother and sister made him cry secretly.

With the Qing Dynasty gone, they would have no backbone, and they would also lose their source of livelihood.

He knew that in five days, he and his family would starve to death.

But the warriors on horseback have no place to use their talents, so naturally they don't have the capital to survive.

At first, Ada just cried softly, but soon after, the crying became uncontrollable and became more heart-piercing.

"You can't get food by crying."

A strange voice rang in his ears, which surprised Ada.

Only then did he realize that he had lost his sharpness as a fighter.

Looking up, it was a Wehrmacht officer.

He knew the person next to him, he was his neighbor, Guo Muha, who was also a soldier of the Eight Banners.

Seeing the National Defense Forces, Ada couldn't help being a little scared.

Could it be that he has committed something and is going to be punished?

The officer was very peaceful.

"Guo Muha said that you are the best fighter, especially when you are still young. Have you ever thought about continuing to join the army?"

Ada was taken aback by the officer's words.

The National Defense Forces as the enemy actually want to recruit him?

"I will not attack the clansmen."

Although he was about to starve to death, Ada was very proud of being a Bayala.

The officer laughed.

"This place is already at peace. It is the territory of the empire. You are the people of the empire. The National Defense Forces will not attack their own people, but if they want to protect peace, they have to deal with other enemies."

Ada was still digesting these words, Guomuha was very anxious.

"Ada, come join the army. We only know how to fight. If we don't join the army, we will have no way to survive."

Adal smiled wryly.

"Is there a way to survive if you join the army? It's just cannon fodder."

When he was in the Qing army, he saw many scenes of Han army flags being sent in front as cannon fodder.

The Manchus can do this to the Han, and so can the Han.

"If you are willing to join the army, you will be a soldier of the National Defense Forces. The monthly salary is two yuan, and your relatives will also receive food, medical care, housing and other subsidies."

People who are frightened of hunger can't hear the word "food".

Ada's eyes were red.

"Give me food?"

Officers report directly.

"Every soldier of the National Defense Forces will receive a monthly food allowance of [-] catties. Of course, with your salary, your family can eat meat as they please."

Ada's heart skipped a beat, and she no longer had any worries.

"Okay, I would like to join the army."

Now it was the officer's turn to make the terms.

"First of all, once you enter the army, you must abide by military discipline. What you did in the Qing army in the past must be put away. If you can do it, you will come to the barracks outside the city to report tomorrow."

A total of [-] Manchus signed up to join the army, most of whom were former soldiers of the Qing army.

This is still selecting the best among the best, after excluding the old and the weak.

Although they used to be old soldiers, it has to be said that in terms of combat skills and experience, they are really not comparable to pure recruits.

Ada walked into the barracks full of expectations and apprehensions, thinking she might be deceived.

Unexpectedly, after passing the medical examination and being officially admitted, he got the first month's salary on the spot.

Manchurians today already know what the paper money issued by the empire means.

Two yuan is a lot of wealth.

Ada didn't dare to delay for a moment, asked for leave, left the barracks and ran to the grain store.

For just one yuan, we bought nearly a hundred catties of grain.

He didn't use the help of the grain store, he carried it himself and walked home.

With these grains, at least the mother, brother and sister will not go hungry.

When he walked to the door of the house, he was surprised to find a carriage parked.

Beside the car stood a government worker he knew.

"Ada, it's just in time for you to come back. You can collect this month's subsidy."

Looking at the rice, noodles, oil, meat, eggs and other good things on the ground, Ada grinned.

He suddenly felt that this new country is really good!
