The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1200 The Way of Governing the Country
Two days later, Zhuge Liang led the soldiers and horses of the Yongzhou headquarters to Jiangzhou to deal with Yang Su.

But Liu Bian stayed in Chengdu. After all, the interior of Yizhou had just been pacified. As the emperor, he was supposed to sit in the center and command and dispatch, so it was not appropriate to go to the front line in person.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with in Chengdu.

After Yizhou was pacified, there was a problem with the dispatch of officials. After all, the military and political power in Yizhou had always been controlled by Sima Yi and Yang Su.In various places and in the army, the two have many confidantes. Although the civil and military forces in Yizhou have surrendered, Liu Bian should not hold them accountable, but some people really can't be of great use.

Therefore, after the pacification of Yizhou, the issue of official scheduling became the top priority.

The second is the placement of the surrendered troops. Now that the world has been settled and Yizhou has been leveled, only Jiangdong and the northern grasslands remain undecided.When the Haiyan River is cleared, the states will naturally not keep so many troops, otherwise it will cause the local generals to support themselves.

However, Yizhou is not a strategically important area, and there are no major enemies around. There are only Nanman and Western Qiang to worry about, but they are not strong. Thirty to fifty thousand soldiers can suppress them.Therefore, Yizhou does not need to maintain a strong military force, and Yizhou belongs to the basin. Once there are too many troops and horses, it is easier to cause the generals to support themselves.

Now under the command of Gao Jiong, Zhang Ren, Sima Yi, and Yang Su, there are more than 10,000 soldiers from all walks of life. These soldiers and horses are undoubtedly too many.The second thing Liu Bian did was cut down the number of soldiers and let the surplus soldiers return to their hometowns.

To govern Yizhou, the most important thing is talents.

On this day, Liu Bian called together several important talents in Yizhou to discuss major issues together.

Zhang Song, the governor of Yizhou who had already been appointed, was naturally on the list, besides Fazheng, Huang Quan and others.

Zhang Song, Fazheng, Huang Quan, and Dong He who was sent to Jiangzhou by Zhang Song some time ago, these people are the most capable among the civil servants in Yizhou.

Fazheng was Liu Bei's conspirator in history. He was good at military strategy and intrigue. In the Battle of Hanzhong, he offered a plan to behead Xia Houyuan. Unfortunately, he died young. If he survived, Zhuge Liang would not be able to die later. Overworked.

Huang Quan may not be as famous as Fazheng, but his ability is not inferior to Fazheng and others.In history, after Liu Bei was defeated in the Battle of Yiling, Huang Quan could not return to Shu and had to surrender to Cao Wei.Although she was a surrendered minister in Cao Wei, she has always been a general of chariots and cavalry, general of Zhennan, and became a minister valued by Cao Pi.

I often heard a sentence in TV dramas and novels in later generations, when rewarding officials and generals, Kaifuyi and the third division were rewarded. This official position began with Huang Quan.Has the right to open a government and manage affairs, and the etiquette is the same as that of the Sangong.

Fa Zheng: Armed Forces 53, Commander 82, Intelligence 96, Politics 94.

Huang Quan: Strength 76, Commander 89, Intelligence 94, Politics 95.

Liu Bian called these people together and said: "All of you are heroes of Yizhou. Now that Yizhou is initially established, there is an urgent need for talents to govern Yizhou. Your responsibility is still very important. But you alone are not enough. The foundation The base is ready, but it needs to add bricks and tiles layer by layer.

It's just that the military and political power in Yizhou has always been in the hands of Sima Yi and Yang Su. I am not familiar with it, and I dare not use it lightly, but I can trust you.Now I hope that you can recommend the talents you know to me. The talents you recommend will recommend the talents they know. In this way, the talents you get will be all virtuous and capable talents. I don't know what you think? "

When the three of them heard that Liu Bian had given them the right to acquire talents in Yizhou, they were very moved and said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely select talents with both ability and political integrity for Your Majesty, and manage Yizhou well for Your Majesty."

Liu Bian laughed and said, "Okay, besides that, you can also post recruitment lists to recruit talents. You are responsible for the specific assessment. But remember, meritoriousness is the only virtue!"

"No!" The three of them bowed their hands and accepted the order.

The two methods of employing people based on talent and virtue have always been debated.

Cao Cao in history is based on talent, while Zhuge Liang in Shu is based on merit and virtue.

Cao Cao's talents, regardless of their origin, can be reused if they have ability, and under Zhuge Liang's governance in Shu, the selection of talents is based on virtue first.

Although Cao Cao's meritocracy provided Cao Wei with a large number of talents to make him grow rapidly, but there is also a shortcoming, that is, there are no loyal and reliable people.

Needless to say, Sima Yi. Later, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping Mausoleum Change. At that time, there were still many old officials left behind by Cao Cao, such as Sun Li, Guo Huai, and Jiang Ji, the veteran of the four dynasties. These people were promoted and reused by Cao Cao. How about it?All went to help Sima Yi.

Looking at the Kingdom of Shu, at the time of its demise, only Liu Chan's usual cronies advocated surrender. Zhuge Liang left behind a group of old officials, all of whom fought to the death and refused to surrender. Even after Liu Chan surrendered, Jiang Wei planned to restore the country for him, only virtuous and virtuous There are many more loyal people than meritocracy.

Now that the world is peaceful, Liu Bian will naturally not choose meritocracy, but choose virtue only, with virtue first and talent second.It doesn't matter if you don't have enough talent, as long as you have virtue, you don't get corrupt, and you don't get corrupt. If you govern the local area conscientiously, you will have more political achievements than those who are talented and moth governing.

"Remember to be virtuous first!" Before the three left, Liu Bian took a deep look at Fazheng and Zhang Song.

The two men's hearts trembled, and they cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

In fact, among the three, Liu Bian's favorite is Huang Quan. Although he served as the three masters in history, he was forced to do nothing. He is a courtier and has always been conscientious.As long as you surrender, the center is absolutely reliable.

On the contrary, both Fazheng and Zhang Song have flawed personalities.

Fazheng's eyes must be repaid, and Zhang Song is arrogant and a little arrogant. He is not as loyal and restrained as Huang Quan.

But fortunately, the world is peaceful now, not a chaotic world, so there won't be any big troubles with these two people.

After the three of them left, Liu Bian took his place and began to write quickly.

After a while, he wrote two letters.

Liu Bian handed the two letters to Yang Yansi, who was serving behind him, and said: "Send one of these two letters to Wudang Academy and give them to Xun Chen, and send the other to Luoyang to Xie An, and let them transfer one hundred studies each. Successful students come to Yizhou to serve as officials."

Yang Yansi was puzzled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, didn't you let Fazheng and the three of them recommend talents, and then publish the recruitment list to select officials? They also transferred people from Sili and Jingzhou?"

Liu Bian replied: "These three people are all from Yizhou, and the selected officials must also be Yizhou scholars. Although they are loyal and reliable, Yizhou's geographical location is different, and it is not connected to the Central Plains.

After I left Chengdu, after a long time, these scholars and officials in Yizhou are familiar with each other, and if they make mistakes, they will cover up.I am far away in the Central Plains, how do I know about Yizhou?That's why I'm going to call Sili and Jingzhou officials here to balance and restrict each other. If there are different factions, they will not dare to relax easily, but will be loyal to the country and do things for the people wholeheartedly. "
