Chapter five hundred and sixty-four suitable candidates
Han Du had people transport the gold, silver and jewels away and left all the food to Shi Ping. Although the Ming Dynasty was short of food, Han Du decided to take only the gold, silver and jewels with him.
Because there is so much food, a rough visual inspection showed that it was at least hundreds of thousands of dan. Han Du only had three warships, and they simply did not have such a large load to transport the food. Therefore, leaving the food to Shi Ping was a last resort.
And for it.
If Handu had ships, they would definitely transport the grain, even if not all of it, some of it. Hundreds of thousands of tons of grain would be a small supplement to the Ming Dynasty, which is currently short of food.
The warship set sail again.
Tang He saw Han Du's smiling face and knew that Han Du was happy for the gold and silver treasures. After thinking about it, he looked at Han Du with a smile and asked: "Do you really want that Shi Ping to do it?"
Is this the magistrate of Changguo County?"
"Of course," Han Du couldn't help but nod. Since he had agreed to Shi Ping, he would naturally not regret it. Besides, Shi Ping had made some achievements now. As long as he rejected Shi Ping from Lao Zhu, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Seeing that Tang He looked a little strange, Han Du couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Aren't we allowed to recommend people to become officials? Is there something wrong?"
When Tang He heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After he finished sighing, he came back to his senses and said to Han Du in a serious voice: "It was in the early years of Hongwu to recommend people to become officials. At that time, everything was waiting for improvement, and the court couldn't wait to recruit a large number of officials to fill it.
All prefectures and counties in the world recommend officials for this reason. However, since the emperor re-opened the imperial examination in the seventh year of Hongwu, this situation has become rare."
"Besides, even when people were recommended as officials in the early years of Hongwu, they were recommended by well-known scholars. How could anyone recommend someone like you who can't even read a word?"
"That doesn't mean you can't recommend, right? Does that mean you can recommend now?" Han Du clung to the fact that he could recommend.
Tang He saw that Han Du still didn't give up, so he said: "It's possible, but almost everyone will not do it. And even if it is recommended, the person's situation will be reported to the emperor first. In the end, the emperor will not use him or not.
How to use him needs to be decided by the emperor. You made a direct promise like this, which is a bit harsh and is private. If you are reported, not only will you be unlucky, but even Shi Ping will not get good results.
"
Han Du felt relieved when he heard that he could be recommended, no problem. As for the other things, Han Du didn't care.
He curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "I recommend Shi Ping for the good of the Ming Dynasty. If anyone wants to sue, just go ahead and sue him. Your Majesty, the wise and powerful emperor, will naturally understand my intentions."
"What's your intention?" Tang He asked in confusion. In his opinion, Han Du's casual promise to make Shi Ping the county magistrate was just asking for trouble. How could he have any good intentions?
Han Du did not answer Tang He, but smiled and asked: "What do you think Changguo County will be like in the future?"
Tang He raised his eyebrows, but didn't care. He followed Han Du's words and continued, "It should be good. After all, there is the fishery you mentioned here. Whether it is in terms of food or income, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to go to waste."
Leave Changguo County here alone."
"What my father-in-law said is exactly what I want to do in the future. The first thing that Changguo County will do is to develop fishing grounds." Han Du paused and explained with a smile: "But my father-in-law, have you ever thought about it? Originally, there was no such thing here.
The fishing ground, just because of its superior geographical location, has attracted Japanese pirates to covet it and want to occupy it. If news about the fishing ground here spreads, will the Japanese pirates covet it?"
Needless to say, Tang He didn't even frown. He knew that once the news about the fishery here got out, the Japanese pirates would definitely come back.
Why did the Japanese pirates risk their lives to cross the ocean and come to the Ming Dynasty to plunder? Isn't it because of the internal war in the Japanese country and the lack of food that they had to take risks to find food?
With the abundance of fish in the fishing ground, even the Ming Dynasty refused to give it up. Why would the hungry Japanese pirates with green eyes give it up?
When Han Du saw that Tang He was also convinced, he smiled and said: "So, the first thing in Changguo County is to cooperate with the imperial court in fishing. But the second thing is to guard against Japanese pirates. Only by doing these two things well
Changguo County is the safest place to do things. Lord, do you think those people who have been in their studies all day long, holding books on saints and sages, can do this kind of thing?"
Changguo County doesn't even have many people now. Just trying to cooperate with the imperial court in fishing is an extremely difficult task. What's more, you have to be on guard against Japanese pirates? It would be great if those scholars don't pee their pants in fear when encountering Japanese pirates.
What about defense?
Tang He naturally had the same idea as Han Du on this matter. But even so, Tang He asked: "They can't do it, do you think Shi Ping can do it?"
"Why can't Shi Ping do it?" Han Du asked back.
He continued: "He is smart, has gone to private school, is literate, and has courage. The most important thing is that he has worked as a coolie under the Japanese pirates for several years. He has a profound understanding of the Japanese pirates, and even the nature of the Japanese pirates. He
He knows everything very clearly. When the Japanese pirates come, he should know where they will rest, where they will land, and where they may attack. If such a person does not become the magistrate of Changguo, who will? Mr.
You will also serve in the army for a lifetime, and you should understand the principle of knowing yourself and the enemy and winning every battle."
Tang He pondered for a while and felt that what Han Du said made sense. After thinking about it carefully, Shi Ping turned out to be the most suitable candidate for the situation in Changguo County. After all, the situation in Changguo County was different from other counties in the Ming Dynasty. Changguo County
Alone overseas, unless the Ming Dynasty has a permanent navy, once it is attacked, it can really only rely on Changguo County to save itself. The Ming Dynasty is completely beyond its reach.
In this case, it would be particularly important if the county magistrate could lead the people to resist the Japanese pirates and buy time for Ming Dynasty to be rescued.
Then he laughed and said, "Well, I have been convinced by you. In this case, let me recommend Shi Ping."
"Master, why are you doing this?" Han Du was startled. From Tang He's attitude just now, it seems that he is extremely opposed to recommending such a move?
Now, why is it so?
Tang He waved his hands and sighed: "My body is getting worse day by day. You are still young, so don't leave any bad impression in the emperor's mind."
"Master! No, absolutely no..." Han Du said quickly.
