In the Ming Dynasty, there was no imperial examination system.
The talent selection method adopted is still the Ming Dynasty version of the inspection and examination system.
In layman's terms, it means that local governors inspect the areas under their jurisdiction at any time, select talents and recommend them to their superiors, so that these people can become officials.
It sounds very noble, but in fact it is purely human and officialdom.
The children of aristocratic families have the greatest advantage in this talent selection method.
Unless a disciple from a poor family is extremely outstanding and meets a local official who truly loves talent and is selfless, he will never be able to get ahead.
This method of talent selection is also one of the most important reasons why Ming Dynasty fell to this point.
Recommended by a local parent officer?
Isn’t that just asking for money, favors, and favors in disguise?
People with great connections and backgrounds, even if they are mediocre, can still get ahead.
And even if you have astonishing abilities and no money on hand, you will most likely be able to survive at the bottom.
Huang An's move found an extremely broad and bright road to heaven for these disciples from poor families who had long suffered from shallow relationships.
As long as they work hard, they will be allowed to embark on another path that they never dreamed of.
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
His mouth opened wide, his pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.
No one said anything, everyone was shocked by this shocking news.
Recommend to Mr. Zhao Dunzhao?
That's the head of the firearms department, one of the top five big shots in Youzhou.
Their great success was right in front of them, and they couldn't believe it for a moment.
After Huang An finished speaking, he stopped talking and stood quietly, waiting for them to digest this shocking news.
No wonder they lost their composure. In fact, in this Ming Dynasty, there were too few channels for class advancement.
It is difficult for ordinary people, even from poor families, to stand up again.
What's more, the master is the head of the firearms department.
What kind of concept is this big shot?
In his hometown TV series "In the Name of the People", his actual power and status are higher than those of Qi Tongwei.
Let me ask, in your hometown, you are an ordinary employee working in a small county.
Suddenly one day, a big shot tells you that as long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity to be assigned to Qi Tongwei's side and work for Qi Tongwei in the next few years.
This big shot has no intention of deceiving you and everything he says is true.
Can you not be excited about such a situation?
More than 200 people in the hospital reacted like this at this moment.
Now, those at the bottom who hang out in small counties and make a living by writing letters and giving names to people may be directly noticed by such big shots.
How could you not be excited?
There is no such thing as smoke rising from the ancestor's grave.
"Sir, sir, is it true?"
The old man standing at the front was flushed with excitement at this moment, and he even called Huang An "sir" without realizing it.
"Master Huang, is this true?"
"..."
All of a sudden, there were so many people asking.
The courtyard was in chaos, and their eyes were full of hope.
"Young man, you spit and spit!"
Huang An's tone became firmer and his attitude was relaxed and relaxed.
Everyone did not doubt his presence and immediately laughed and thanked him.
From what they learned, Huang An really didn't need to lie to them.
Master Zhao Dun came from Feng'an City, and he didn't know what happened, but he suddenly became the head of the Firearms Department.
If you suddenly gain a high position, you will inevitably lack people under your command.
Huang An can say it directly now, which means it is true.
After all, the township party has an old tradition.
The atmosphere in the hospital reached its peak at this moment.
The apprehensions and worries I had before departure were all gone at this moment, and I felt even more happy and grateful.
Huang An only used two moves to successfully recruit these people under his command.
"In that case, please take a seat!"
Huang An smiled loudly and ordered everyone to sit down.
"Some meals have been prepared in the house. We are very busy these days and we can't spare too many people. Today is not a formal banquet, so you can just feel aggrieved for the time being."
Huang An behaved very kindly.
No one in the courtyard is ignorant, they have gained enough today.
They also know that a lot of things have happened in the Li family's mansion these days, and they can understand that there is no special organizer to hold a proper banquet for them.
"Master Huang, it's serious, it's serious!"
"Sir, I don't care about this, haha!"
"..."
Everyone was polite and sat down with smiles.
The food may be said to be shabby, but it's actually not bad at all.
There is no big fish, but there is enough meat, various wild vegetables, fruits, and rice.
If you put more lard, you can smell the fragrance from a distance.
Everyone ate to their heart's content.
Each of them looked like they were devouring their food, and the corners of their mouths were shining brightly.
Huang An also planned to say a few words to them while they were eating, but looking at the situation now, he might as well forget it.
There has been a long-term lack of oil and water in the stomach. Now these people can't walk when they see meat and oil, and their eyes turn green.
It seems that, just as I expected, they are living in dire straits, and even eating a meal of meat is a luxury.
Especially meat with animal fat is even more difficult.
Huang An also lowered his head to eat. After eating for a while, he raised his head to look at everyone.
Then, he took out a stack of papers placed under the table.
There are many fonts written densely on the paper.
The content here is the detailed information of the more than 200 people in front of you.
Basic information such as your last name, your age, your abilities, what you are good at, etc. are all written on the paper.
Although there are many people, the only thing they are good at is writing, writing letters or settling accounts.
Ruan Tianzong and Wang Zhengye, who are responsible for this matter, have made a basic classification of these people.
What Huang An has to do now is to classify these people and then divide them.
That is to say, according to the establishment of five engineering teams and one inspection team, the more than 200 people in front of us are assigned duties.
The inspection team now has only five leaders, namely Zhang Yi and Zhang Rang.
It is definitely not feasible for just five polished commanders to maintain an inspection team with heavy responsibilities.
I don't want to use people from those aristocratic families in the city, so Huang An needs to solve the manpower problem for them.
Huang An planned to select fifty from the roster and put them under the supervision of the inspection team.
These fifty people are all young men in their prime, even young men, who are proficient in calculating accounts.
Huang An divided the remaining 170 people into five teams and classified them into five engineering teams.
It seems like a lot of work, and we still need help from Chao Mu and the others.
But in fact, after Huang An stared at the roster for less than half a minute, he decided to directly arrange the positions of these people in front of him now.
The roster is ready, and each engineering team has roughly the same tasks.
Therefore, there is nothing special to pay attention to in terms of personnel requirements.
Except for the selection of the inspection team, which needs to be carefully considered, the selection of the other engineering teams can be more casual.
After all, the scholars in this world only read books such as classics and history books. As for professional management books, there are not a single one.
