For the Hongnong Yang family, finding Yang Min's descendants is one of the reasons, and being able to use this as a medium to join forces with Li Xinchen is the other. Obviously, the second is more important than the first, and it is also the real reason why Yang Su came here this time.
Purpose.
At this time, Li Xingchen had already doubted whether Yang Su had come as an envoy and whether this person had done it deliberately. This also made Li Xingchen more wary and cautious of Yang Su. This guy can leave various legends in history, so he must not be an easy person to deal with.
character.
Li Xingchen has been in this era for a long time, but this is the first time he has encountered an opponent like Yang Su. After all, compared to Wu Mingche, Wei Xiaokuan, Xiao Mohe and others, Yang Su, the founding prime minister of the Sui Dynasty who was both civil and military,
, you can tell just from a few words in the history books that this person is very complex and very smart.
Of course, having said that, it is more interesting to deal with such an opponent, not to mention what Li Xingchen wants to do is to turn this opponent into his friend and ally.
This is even more challenging.
Li Xingchen didn't want to hide Yang Su's intention, and immediately said with a smile: "To be honest, we lack enough talents now, so we can only promote local petty officials on the spot. However, Brother Chu Dao must also be worried about the consequences of this."
I know it well."
Yang Su nodded slightly. If Li Xinchen wanted to gain a foothold in Bashu, he would naturally need the support of the people, the army and local families. Li Xinchen had already achieved this, but if Li Xinchen wanted to show off his management capabilities to attract more talents,
Coming to Bashu and participating in the construction and development of Bashu will also attract the attention of more aristocratic families and powerful forces, so naturally it is necessary to implement supporting new policies and carry out corresponding reforms.
If Li Xingchen just abides by the existing administrative system of Nanchen, which has obvious disadvantages, he will naturally be able to trap himself in the mountains of Bashu. The previous Xiao Baojuan is a good lesson, and Li Xingchen certainly doesn't want to
Become the second Xiao Baojuan.
If you want to implement the New Deal, although you don't need a lot of talent reserves and support, you still need at least a complete system, even if it is just a framework, as long as it can support and maintain the implementation of the policy. It's a pity that Li Xingchen doesn't even have the basic skills to implement it.
There is no way to build a talent framework, that is, there is no way to ensure that every official position that should not be empty is filled with people.
In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on Li Xingchen's lack of attraction here. Basically, the previous officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had fled during the war. In addition, the land of Bashu has been far away from the Central Plains and the core of the rule for a long time, so in fact many official positions were originally
Empty.
This is why Bajun, Hezhou and other places were able to form their own entities before, but they could only fight independently. Because these cities lacked basic local administrative systems, they naturally lacked communication and mutual support.
Otherwise, Li Xingchen would not be given the opportunity to defeat each one.
Of course, Li Xingchen still admired Zhang He, the leading governor of Chuzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Song Ping, the governor of Hezhou, because it was a headache to think about such a situation. It was really difficult for these two guys to survive.
But Li Xingchen believed that he would not follow in the footsteps of Zhang He and Song Ping. He had to change the current situation in Bashu, and the first step was naturally to have enough talent to support him.
Needless to say, there are several groups under Li Xinchen, including Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others. However, these Li Xinchen's cronies are not large in number and they are all in important positions. Of course, Li Xinchen will not easily transfer them to local official positions.
As Tang Yishun said, the Xiajiang Tang Family has been hollowed out by Li Xingchen, otherwise Tang Yishun would definitely not refuse to send talents. As for the remaining Ba people, Li Xingchen still plans to inspect them first and then entrust them to them.
heavy responsibility.
Of course, among the Ba people, there are people like Du Qi and Li Xun who followed Li Xunchen in the north and south and proved themselves to be capable and strong enough. However, such people are already in high positions in the Ba people group at this time. Likewise,
It cannot be changed easily, and Li Xingchen, the remaining Ba people, has not yet interacted with each other, so naturally he does not know what they are like.
After all, most Ba people have not received qualified education, so there is actually nothing wrong with calling them "barbarians". Of course, Li Xingchen would not directly leave local administrative affairs to the Ba people.
Yang Su knew what Li Xingchen wanted and nodded slightly: "This is no problem. There are still twenty or thirty young people from the Hongnong Yang family who have not served as officials, plus several Huayin families who are relatively close to the Hongnong Yang family.
, a total of fifty people can be gathered together. Although there are not many people, they have all been trained in poetry and etiquette, which may be able to solve the urgent need."
Li Xinchen nodded. Of course, he knew that Yang Su's gift was not unilateral. After these talents were assigned to various positions by Li Xinchen, with the rise of Li Xinchen, these talents would of course be reused. The branches and leaves of the Hongnong Yang family
Naturally, it spread to every corner of Li Xinchen's system and became an indispensable force in Li Xinchen's system.
Therefore, the current Hongnong Yang family does not need anything in return from Li Xinchen. They are making a long-term investment and using talents, the most abundant resource of the family, to complete it.
Of course Yang Su knew that Li Xingchen needed more than this: "In addition, the Lieutenant General of the Hanzhong Army will cover the transfer of four thousand shi of grain, which should be able to help. There is also three hundred taels of gold, as support for Shizhong Xiandi.
Dear brother Shizhong, don’t shirk it.”
This time, Li Xingchen finally couldn't help but be moved. To be honest, four thousand shi of grain and three hundred taels of gold were not a big amount, but for a family, it was still surprising that a family could come up with so much at once.
Li Xingchen's surprise.
What's more important is that at least now Li Xingchen and the Northern Zhou Dynasty are still in a state of hostility. Being able to transport so many things is enough to prove the ability of the Hongnong Yang family. This is not just a matter of money, but also involves the military.
, local state capitals, etc., and since Yang Su dares to speak out, it means that he has this confidence, or for the Hongnong Yang family, this is not a big problem in the first place.
Li Xingchen didn't know how much strength and heritage this huge family still had, but at least what Yang Su had shown now was enough for him to understand that the Hongnong Yang family was indeed the ally he should rely on at this stage.
Some people say that the Aristocratic Family is a cup of poison, but now Li Xingchen wants to try drinking poison to quench his thirst.
He stood up and solemnly raised his hands to Yang Su: "To be honest, Brother Chu, the things that can be given at home are all urgently needed in Bashu. With Brother Chu's guarantee, I finally have the courage to take a step forward.
.”
Yang Su knew that Li Xingchen had given him an accurate answer, so he immediately smiled and cupped his hands: "Shi Zhongxian brother, you are so polite, it only takes a little effort."
