The next day, Lin Ze arranged for someone to calculate the time. When noon arrived, Lin Ze personally went out and led a group of guards to each house and took back the seals and official documents belonging to the former governor's palace officials.
Lin Ze originally thought there would be some twists and turns, but unexpectedly, the various aristocratic families in Shu actually cooperated and handed over the things. It was not until when he accepted an official from the Government Affairs Department that the Intelligence Department sent a message, and Lin Ze knew why.
It turned out that when those aristocratic families heard that the newly arrived right admiral Lin Ze had brought people to collect the identity certificates and other things, they specially discussed it.
After discussions among many aristocratic families, Hu Hai's move was just a stupid idea thought up out of panic. He hoped to scare the aristocratic families into submission by dismissing him.
Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to sit firmly in the Chenghou Mansion and wait and see if Hu Hai can't hold on. As for the official certificates, please keep them.
Because of the incident of Hu Hai coming to forcibly collect medical fees, some people think that in terms of force alone, except for the four major families of Ba, Zheng, Tan, and Fan, other families cannot resist it. Instead of letting Lin Ze take advantage of the opportunity, he can ask for another
I don’t know what the name of the fee is, so I might as well cooperate with it.
There was even a young family head who shouted: "Why did he take the official certificate from us today? He will have to return it tomorrow. Since everyone is determined not to cooperate with him, what other tricks can he come up with?"
?”
The words of the young family leader resonated with other aristocratic families. Although some people felt that something was wrong, based on the principle that everyone was in the same boat and acted in unison, there was no disturbance.
When Lin Ze took all the documents back, he couldn't help but laugh. It was really good to have a group of opponents who thought they were smart.
After Lin Ze returned to the Governor's Mansion with his things, he asked Hu Hai to write a memorial, clearly stating that the officials of the former Shu Governor's Mansion could not be reused, so they were all dismissed and the wise men were recruited again.
After the memorial was stamped with the seal of Governor Hu Hai, Lin Ze arranged for someone to rush to Chang'an.
Although Emperor Qin had long planned to leave Shu to Hu Hai and let him do whatever he wanted, Hu Hai could not ignore Emperor Qin's feelings and at least informed him.
After the memorial was over, a waiter came over and informed Lin Zedao: "To inform the military advisor, Wu Fan and dozens of people are waiting for you in the side courtyard."
"Lead the way, I'll be there soon," Lin Ze replied decisively. Following his instructions, Wu Fan came with a group of unsatisfied officials, but he didn't know how many of them could be used.
Lin Ze stepped into the side courtyard, and Wu Fan took the lead in saluting with the members of the Imperial Guard: "I pay my respects to the right admiral."
Jinyiwei is a secret agent organization, and its members usually do not appear in the name of Jinyiwei. Therefore, Wu Fan and others used the identities of subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion of Shu prepared by Lin Ze for them. Therefore, it was Lin Ze who met them in front of outsiders.
The official identity of the right admiral of Shu.
Seeing Lin Ze's official uniform, the officials who had been tricked and abducted by Wu Fan from various places finally began to believe that Wu Fan had been ordered by the Governor to recruit talents from various places.
Facing the Shangguan, these officials saluted and said, "Greetings to the Admiral."
Lin Ze supported him with his right hand and said: "Excuse me, everyone." Then he went straight to the topic and said: "Since you are here, you can probably feel the Governor's determination to recruit wise men. There are many official positions in the Governor's Mansion, but I don't know if you have the ability.
got it."
One of them, who was about thirty years old and dressed like a scholar, stepped forward and said, "Admiral, if you want to take the test, just ask the questions. If you can't answer the questions, we will naturally have no shame in asking you for an official position."
Lin Ze smiled calmly and said: "Of course the assessment is required, but don't be in a hurry. Let's take a look at the positions in the Governor's Mansion first. Which one do you want and are qualified for? Come and open the picture."
Then the two men carefully opened a large scroll with all the official titles of the Governor's Mansion marked on it.
This was done by Lin Ze for half an hour. It is similar to the administrative structure diagram of later generations and is clear and concise.
Lin Ze pointed at this "architectural diagram" and said, "Have you seen it? This is the official position map of the Governor's Mansion. In addition to the governor and the left and right admirals, what official positions do you want? Just write down the official position names and names directly on the paper and pen.
Just use your name."
"After reading this, the admiral will naturally conduct an assessment based on everyone's choices. If you pass the assessment, you can be hired. If you fail the assessment, you will not be hired."
"I would like to advise you that everyone has only one chance to make a choice. Once you make the wrong choice and want to change to another position, you will have no chance. Of course, it does not mean that there will be no chance. If you want to get an official position again, just
Can wait for the second batch.”
"It's just that the earlier the election is made, the better the official position will be. I will give you half an hour to make a decision. You have to think clearly. Someone comes and puts pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Immediately, someone brought pens, inks, paper and inkstones and distributed them to everyone.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze asked someone to collect the notes written by everyone.
A rough look shows that basically all the official positions in the Governor's Mansion are open to candidates, except for the chief officer of the four major departments. Only one person has been selected as the chief officer of the Sannong Division, and his name is Xu Gao.
Lin Ze asked: "Who is Xu Gao?"
The scholar who had just taken the initiative to answer Lin Ze's question stood up and said, "That's it."
Lin Ze said calmly: "You want to be the chief of the Sannong Department, tell me where your confidence comes from?"
The scholar Xu Gao said proudly: "I am not talented, but I am a farmer's disciple. I have been proficient in farming since I was a child. The mulberry farming department is nothing more than encouraging people to mulberry farm and teaching them superb farming techniques. I dare to ask, sir, who is better than my farmer's boy?"
Are you more suitable for this position?"
Lin Ze's eyes flashed. He didn't expect that he was a child of a farmer's family. Although the farmer's family was one of the hundred, there were very few disciples. There were even fewer people who entered the Qin government as officials. Unexpectedly, Wu Fan also picked up a treasure.
return.
Lin Ze directly ordered: "The position of chief officer of the Sannong Division is yours. I will receive your official documents and seal later, and you will take office tomorrow."
A smile appeared on Xu Gao's face and he said, "Thank you, sir."
Lin Ze then spent half an hour briefly assessing the other people in the room. Most of them were remarkable and qualified for the official positions in the Governor's Mansion. It is estimated that Lin Ze's words had some effect.
Finally, with a wave of his hand, Lin Ze came up with a "Grand Distribution of Official Positions" and assigned everyone to official positions.
It was said to be an assessment, but in fact it was just a formality. After all, all the original officials in the Governor's Mansion were fired by Lin Ze, so someone had to do the work.
In Lin Ze's view, the real assessment comes later. If someone is not qualified for that official position, just replace him with someone else.
In any case, the crisis of paralysis of the Governor's Mansion has been mostly resolved, and the next step is to strike while the iron is hot.
While Lin Ze ordered Wu Fan to continue to recruit talents from other places, he directly issued a recruitment order in the name of the Governor's Mansion and distributed it to all directions to recruit talents.
I only saw the recruitment order: I have heard that there are many wise men in Shu, some hiding in the mountains and forests, or hiding in the market. Now there is your Majesty’s youngest son, Mr. Hu Hai, who is eager to seek talents. Regardless of his origin, he only talks about his talents. Those who are brave and courageous can be
As a general, a man with quick literary talents is qualified to serve as a county, but those who have the skills to govern the country and use military force should prepare what they know and do not leave anything behind.
The recruitment order was stamped with a scarlet governor's seal, and Lin Ze arranged for people to post it to all counties in Shu.
For a time, many people who thought they had unappreciated talents came to the capital of Shu.
…
At the same time, Yu Ziqi, who was almost forgotten by Lin Ze, led the soldiers of the Shu government to station in the capital city of Shu to deter lawless elements. In the blink of an eye, the situation between the Shu family and Lin Ze was reversed.
In the Chenghou Mansion, the various aristocratic families began to panic when they learned that Hu Hai had transferred people from other places, occupied most of the positions in the Governor's Mansion, and subdued the soldiers.
Many aristocratic families looked at Widow Qing one after another, waiting for her to come up with countermeasures.
Widow Qing scolded: "Why are you panicking? Don't forget, the land of Shu is the territory of each family. If each family does not cooperate, Hu Hai will still not be able to collect money or food, and he will not be able to collect corvees, even if all his official positions are taken away."
, what can he do?"
Only then did all the families recover from the panic, but many families began to regret their previous actions, whether they were wrong.
The head of the family who had previously proposed to hand over his official identity certificate would be looked down upon by everyone.
