The change in Zhang Xutuo's expression was naturally noticed by Li Xinchen.
It seems that at this stage, the Taiwei Mansion cannot live without Yang Su.
Li Xingchen knew that Yang Su could not be said to be very reliable. The key was that compared to the Yang Su in history, the current Yang Su had a lot less military experience, but he had never eaten pork, and he had seen pigs running after all.
They are more reliable than the staff of the Taiwei Mansion who have never even seen a pig running.
After what happened in Hedong, it's better to get Yang Su back as soon as possible.
It is also time to officially make him the Grand Lieutenant of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, if this position remains vacant for too long, I am afraid it will also cause speculation and dissatisfaction in the army.
Yang Su's memorial was concise and concise. He had already received the first sum of money from the Wenxi Pei family. In addition, the Liu family, the Xue family and other Hedong aristocratic families had also sent people to "generously donate money", so the Hedong armies already had a certain degree of confidence.
Launch an attack on Zhengping County. Especially as the weather gets warmer these days and the ice on the Fen River becomes thinner, Yang Su thinks that he can try to use the navy to transport soldiers, horses and food. If he can control the Fen River, he will naturally block the Xianbei cavalry from the north from going south.
path of.
At the same time, Yang Su also suggested that the Han army launch an attack directly from Luoyang to the northwest, break through Shaozhou and blockade Taihang. This would cover the flanks of the Han army in Puzhou and form a pincer attack on the Northern Zhou army in Hanoi with the Han army in Henan.
.
As a result, Sanhe, as the heart of the Central Plains, was already in the hands of the Han, even if it was not in the hands of the Han. To win it, it was just a matter of taking one step forward.
"Okay!" Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Yang Su did not disappoint herself.
It seems that he did not extort money lightly this time, otherwise he would not be so confident.
However, Li Xingchen does not feel sorry for the Hedong Family. The family system is destined to disappear in this generation. There is no need for Li Xingchen to open a back door for anyone in order to preserve special groups. After so many ups and downs, it is time for the Hedong Family to completely withdraw from history.
the stage.
"How to arrange the attack on Shaozhou from Luoyang and who should be sent there? The Taiwei Mansion should make up its mind as soon as possible." Li Xingchen added, "In addition, the economy and people's livelihood in Hedong must be restored as soon as possible. We cannot always rely on blackmailing the famous families.
Obtain money and food. Yang Su alone in Puzhou may not be able to support the entire framework. We must quickly deploy skilled personnel and stabilize the situation in Hedong as soon as possible, including the implementation of the New Deal and the selection of talents, without delay."
Bao Xing also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I have also been discussing this matter in the past few days. The imperial examination of the Han Dynasty has just ended this year, and scholars from Hedong rarely participated in it, so is it possible to open a new Enke for scholars from Hedong and select some talents?
, firstly, it can reassure the people, and secondly, it can also solve the urgent problem of the current shortage of talents."
Li Xingchen looked at Bao Xing. This was indeed a good choice, but in fact it was a benefit to the aristocratic family. After all, if there were any talents from poor families in Hedong, in the final analysis, these places would still fall on the children of the aristocratic families.
However, this is fine. Giving him a carrot after giving him a hammer will not make these aristocratic families hate him to the bone. It can even give his own children a chance to quickly enter the officialdom of the Han Dynasty. The competition is also based on actual ability, which is considered fair.
, the aristocratic families will definitely not refuse.
Otherwise, there are some people who really want to take risks if the situation is not guaranteed. Li Xingchen is not afraid of their provocation, but it would not be a good thing if Hedong is allowed to cause trouble again.
What Li Xingchen needs now is for Hedong to be firmly in the hands of the Han Dynasty.
"If we target the scholars from Hedong, will it cause dissatisfaction among the scholars from other places?" Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but asked curiously, "The scholars from Hedong are uniquely blessed, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment and nodded slightly.
The rest of the Han Dynasty has been Han territory for a long time, and after what can be called a "fierce" struggle, they can finally join the Han officialdom. But now the scholars in Hedong will be treated favorably just because they have just surrendered to the Han Dynasty, so the people in the other places must be
There will be some dissatisfaction. Obviously we have made more contributions to the Han Dynasty and have been the subjects of the Han Dynasty for a longer time. Why should the benefits be taken by the newcomers?
Simply attacking Hedong is equivalent to letting the scholars in Hedong compete among themselves. The competitive pressure is much smaller than that of scholars from all over the country. Even if they are not equal, there is a trick of mutual "humility", which naturally cannot convince the masses.
.
But Dahan just finished the scientific examination last year, and then he had to take the encore in the spring. Isn't it a bit frequent?
Bao Xing said directly: "I have considered this before and formulated a backup plan. In short, it is to open Enke in the face of the whole country, but the number of talents selected by Enke examiners must be reduced, and they cannot dominate the guests.
Let Enke be better than the official path of the imperial examination. As for the name, regaining Henan and Hedong is a good name. No one can stop or criticize His Majesty for opening Enke."
"Well, that's it." Li Xingchen naturally knew that there is often no way to get the best of both worlds in the world. The consequence of this is naturally that the number of talents selected will be smaller, but it is better than intensifying the conflicts within the Han Dynasty.
And Li Xingchen couldn't really let Hedong take too much advantage in this Enke. Hedong was already a home of many bells and whistles, and no matter how much the children of the aristocratic family were said to be dandy, the true talent and learning passed down by the family were still put aside.
Here, it is inevitable that a large number of children from aristocratic families will stand out among Enke. If the scope of Enke is expanded this time, it will naturally have the effect of diluting the outstanding children of aristocratic families in Hedong.
Of course, the Han Dynasty needs talents, but Li Xingchen really has to be careful when using talents from the Hedong family, otherwise, he may get into trouble for himself.
"Military, economic, and talent selection, we will seize Hedong with a three-pronged approach." Li Xingchen said solemnly, "The former has the army, the latter has Enke, and there is commerce in the middle. I am very relieved. But the culture and education in Hedong are also there.
It is very important that the Ministry of Rites cannot relax on this matter and summon the Minister of Rites immediately, and I will have a detailed discussion with him."
"Yes!" Bao Xing responded hastily.
He seemed to see ropes pulled out of Li Xingchen's palms, and then wrapped around the giant Hedong until it was unable to move.
Your Majesty's method is very simple and normal, but very effective.
Maybe this is the so-called conspiracy. The Hedong aristocratic families knew exactly what kind of road was waiting for them, but they had no choice but to run into it like this. They had no choice.
Bao Xing was a little lucky that the Bao family was no longer considered a wealthy family. Otherwise, they might have been swaying in Li Xingchen's hands at this time, but there was nothing they could do.
"By the way, call Xu Zhaoyi here too. Free Studies and Charity Hall are originally part of the etiquette, and we can't live without her." Li Xingchen immediately ordered.
