After listening to Li Su's beautiful vision of "growing cotton widely, developing spinning machines, woven fabrics, making cotton jackets, and allowing the people of Xiliang and Qiang to completely Chinese", Zhuge Jin was full of confidence in continuing to let go of his hands to expand the team of technical workers, and not worrying about the over-employment of workers after the completion of textile industrialization in Shu.

Many ideas of further "liberation of productivity" emerged in Zhuge Jin's heart. Unfortunately, I couldn't grasp the clues at the dinner table for a while, so I could only go back and think slowly.

Fortunately, Li Su quickly took the initiative to move the topic to another direction. He saw that everyone was drinking almost the same, and many non-direct guests had dispersed, so he took the opportunity to exchange some private conversations.

Li Su held the wine glass and said to Zhuge Jin and the others as if nothing had happened: "Since the king brought many ministers to the north, Yizhou will have a vacant prefect of six counties next year. Now many places are the former county magistrates in Chang'an, and the chief minister and the county magistrate act as prefect. It is okay to do this occasionally, but it is not a method of long-term stability.

The king sent me back this time and asked me to rectify the rear officials and promote the Youqian before the New Year. You are all the confidants of the king. Following the king for as long as three years, for five or six years, I won’t hide some things from you. I have already prepared a list, and you are all worthy of being the governor of a county. Be sure to continue working hard to do your own things. Please help me see the other candidates.”

When Zhuge Jin, Huang Quan and others heard this, they hurriedly bowed to thank him.

Li Su waved his hand: "Honey comes out, there is nothing to thank for."

Then he announced several candidates with a smile.

The prefect of Shu County: Zhuge Jin

Hanzhong Prefect: Wu Yi

Ba County Prefect: Huang Quan

Prefect of Guanghan County: Zhang Su

Wenshan County Prefect: Yang Hong

Zhuge Jin, Huang Quan and Yang Hong were all present and each received their own positions.

Zhuge Jin was still a little frightened. Although he had been with Liu Bei for the longest time, he was only sixteen years old when he debuted, and now he was only twenty-two years old. From the county magistrate to the chief minister to the prefect, he always felt that he had risen too quickly based on the rank of the rank.

Li Su patted his shoulder: "What's the solution? The lord can expand a large area every few years. There is not enough old ministers in Yuan Dynasty. Unreliable outsiders can't suddenly take office. Moreover, your family is loyal and patriotic. Although you have money, you have repeatedly destroyed your family to help the army and provide disaster relief. It's almost a few years, and you deserve it."

Zhuge Jin remembered his family's wide Shu brocade worth thousands of horses each time, and the discount of the goods was no less than 30 million yuan (6,000 yuan per horse, and 5,000 yuan a time would be 30 million yuan). When the emperor was alive, he could buy an official position and a prefect every time.

Of course, when Emperor Ling was a prefect of 20 to 30 million yuan, they were all poor counties, and they were called buying as rent, and their term was only one year. It was absolutely impossible to buy a wealthy county like Shu County who could loot a lot of money.

But after all, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang have made so much contribution, and he feels much more at ease when he thinks about it.

In addition to the three of them, the rest of Zhang Su was also considered to have surrendered earlier when Liu Yan was defeated. His qualifications and his official positions when he was under Liu Yan were between the county level and the deputy county level. In the past two years, Zhang Su's younger brother Zhang Song has also taken office. Unfortunately, he has not yet gained any chance to make great contributions. No matter what, Zhang Su can be the prefect of Guanghan.

Although Hanzhong County has reduced its military value after the recapture of Guanzhong, Liu Bei's current title is still the King of Hanzhong, which is also very important. No matter what his contribution is, Wu Yi is the elder brother of the real princess Wu Xian. As a "relative relative" as a Hanzhong prefect, no one will question it.

This candidate was also discussed with Liu Bei through anger before Li Su returned to Yizhou, otherwise Li Su would not dare to decide for himself.

In the end, there were two vacancies in Zitong County and Wudu County. Li Su was also a little bit of a backup candidate, but before it was finalized, she discussed with Zhuge Jin and other confidants.

The main reason was that the Yuan Cong, who was qualified and talented, had used up all the old ministers, and Li Su could only promote the newly emerged local scholars in Shu in recent years, so hesitated.

On Li Su's list, there are local scholars such as Meng Guang (27 years old), Liao Li (25), Lai Min (31), or famous prophecies and divination mathematics like Zhou Qun (46), but Zhuge Jin and Huang Quan all believed that these people were only worthy of rituals, calendars, or supervisors, and were not suitable for specific management of a county's civil affairs. After discussion, Li Su rejected them himself.

After the famous scholars rejected it, Li Su looked at some of the local new bureaucrats in the hard-working faction, including Zhang Yi (30), Wang Fu (25), and Wang Lei (22), all of whom are known for their hard work.

Zhang Yi had been in charge of the construction of the Ministry of Works, which had been in charge of the Shu Han regime for many years in history, and helped Zhuge Liang to supervise the construction of weapons and armor, farming tools, and had good political achievements. Finally, he was captured by Yongqiu, who surrendered to Wu during the rebellion in Nanzhong.

Wang Fu followed Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou and provided very effective logistics. When Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, many left-behind officials surrendered to Lu Meng. Wang Fu was quite confident and insisted on not surrendering when Mi Fang surrendered, but was outnumbered and killed by Lu Meng.

Although these deeds have not happened yet, judging from their political achievements over the past few years, it can be seen that they have expertise and talent in this regard. After Li Su discussed it, he felt that he would give up letting them be prefects, and instead let them follow Guoyuan, Wang Lian and other military farming officials, and salt and iron officials to be responsible for construction and logistics.

Their talents may not be inferior to those of Guoyuan Wang Lian, but they came too late to do things with Li Su and had no time to get in touch with core technologies and advanced management methods. Therefore, when they first transformed, they needed to lead the area with Li Su's predecessors who had been around for a longer time.

The third batch of candidates on Li Su's list are some of the talents who temporarily fled from Guanzhong to Shuzhong after the Northern Expedition began this year in order to escape from Li Jue's jurisdiction. Theoretically, these people are similar to the "Dongzhou Scholars" under Liu Yan's back then, or they can be said to be similar to Fa Zheng's background, but they came two years late.

However, these people often have official positions in the Chang'an court, so they cannot start as white. As long as they have the ability, they can directly give them some middle and high-level positions.

But because these people are not local and have not been here for a long time, Zhuge Jin and Huang Quan do not know each other very well, so it is difficult to give advice.

Zhuge Jin also reminded Li Su: "The envoy, the king is now deeply loved by the people of Shu, because the people of Shu have seen the hope of local people as officials, so they can even fight for the first place such as donating money to Guanzhong for disaster relief. At this time, it is probably a matter of people's hearts to let the scholars of Dongzhou come again to seize the important positions of high-ranking officials in the hinterland of Shu.

Even if you have to choose a prefect in this group of new Dongzhou Sri Lanka, it is best to give them the unresolved Wudu prefects first, and Zitong will forget it. After all, Wudu borders Yongliang and is a relatively barren land in the mountains. After General Zhang leaves, no one will mind giving a Dongzhou Sri Lanka."

Li Su thought it made sense, so he planned to choose someone qualified to be the prefect of Wudu from Shili, Dongzhou, which he had just surrendered in 194. The rest of the people who were not qualified could also be middle-level and grassroots positions in Wudu County. In this way, it was also an explanation for this group of talents who surrendered, so that they realized that it was not a waste of investment in Liu Bei, and that there was more or less a representative figure to stand out.

Li Su began to introduce the people on the list after admonishing him: "This spring, the main scholars of Dongzhou who entered Sichuan and defected to him were Jingzhao and Fufeng.

The oldest person is She Jian, the former Huangmen Minister of the Chang'an court, at the age of 32. He also took his brother She Yuan to join him. She Yuan was 27 years old and was only a filial and honest officer in the court, without any real position, but he was the son-in-law of the late Taiwei Huangfu Song.

There is another one, the eldest son of the governor of Liangzhou, Meng Tuo, who was also a free-time official in the court, named Meng Da, who was 23 years old. When he came to vote, he also brought a letter of introduction, which was written by Fa Xiaozhi, an old friend he made in Ji County. Xiaozhi said in the letter that Meng Da was also a little talented and could be used."

Li Su reported several major Dongzhou scholars who came to vote for this year, and asked everyone to discuss it. After reading it, there was no ambiguity. After all, only Shejian’s qualifications and age were similar. And it is easy for everyone to think that two and a half years ago, Zhong Yao also came to Hanzhong to pass the imperial edict as the Huangmen Minister. As a result, Li Jue was stranded in chaos. Because he had been in surrendering as an angel for two years, Zhong Yao is now well developed.

She Jian's resume is similar to Zhong Yao, but he missed the opportunity when he came late and could only go to a poor place like Wudu County.

The matter was settled, and she used She Jian as the representative to appease the new Dongzhou scholars. His younger brother was the county magistrate, so Meng Da could only be the county magistrate first, which was worthy of Fa Zheng's recommendation.

The last remaining Zitong County cannot be given to the scholars of Dongzhou or the empty talk sect, for fear that they will mislead the matter; nor can they be given to the farming sect, because the farming sect has more important things to deal with.

After thinking about it, Li Su had to choose from the local civilian staff in Yizhou who had followed Liu Bei for a long time but had not made substantial contributions.

He dug out the last list of spare tires, and there were only three people on it: Qin Mi, Fei Shi, and Zheng Du. There is no need to introduce these three people. The first two are mainly used as envoys and lobbyists, and the third is a staff officer. Zhuge Jin and others are also familiar with these people.

The result of the discussion generally believed that Qin Mi was too literary and unsuitable for the full governance of the party. Zheng Du was too brief. Although Fei Shi did not have a comprehensive talent, after all, during the decisive battle in Jingyuan, he helped Liu Bei persuade Duan Wei to turn against the battle, which was a great contribution.

No matter what, Fei Shi added an insurance policy to win the decisive battle with Li Jue.

For the sake of credit, he was able to bear it if he was not more comprehensive in his ability, so he let Fei Shi be the prefect of Zitong.

Li Su collected the adjusted list and was preparing to take advantage of the time before the New Year to examine their specific political achievements to ensure that they were correct. He sent it to Liu Bei for filing and formal appointment.

Zhuge Jin and Huang Quan had no objection to these candidates, and they also felt that they were competent. He just felt that there were still some talents that were ignored by Li Su. So Huang Quan asked in kindness:

"The envoy, there are actually some candidates, which are quite useful. For example, Gu Yong and Gu Yuan sighed that he served as the prefect of Jianning since the next year of General Guan, and worked diligently in a smoky land for two years. He has made great achievements in appeaseing the barbarians in the southern center. Now the chiefs of various tribes in the southern center have been sent to Gu Yong for quality study.

With this contribution, even if you return to Ba County and take over the vacancy of Ba County, the vacancies left by his mentor Zeisk. It is not as good as Gu Yuantan for his contributions. He is willing to give in and go to Nanzhong to experience it."

Huang Quan felt a little embarrassed because he was the prefect of Ba County, so he said this most appropriately. If what Zhuge Jin said would seem to be destroying Huang Quan's position.

Li Su waved his hand: "Gu Yuan sighed that I have other uses. I am not afraid to tell you. I have discussed with the king that I will demolish Yizhou to Yi and Yunnan next year. From now on, there will be no states in the mainland, so there will be no state patriarch. Everyone has seen the harm of Liu Yan's abolishing history and establishing the past.

At that time, civil affairs, military power and defense, supervision of the rule of law, and separate power. Since Gu Yuantan is the commander of the children of the Southern Barbarians, he will observe Dianzhou and coordinate the barbarian kings of each county and take up his post. Others that are more powerful and have no use for the time being have also demands in this regard."

Zhuge Jin and Huang Quan stopped talking. Li Su wanted to choose the three envoys from each state. The status of these people was much higher than that of Zhuge Jin and others, and they were not qualified to discuss it at all.
Chapter completed!
