Chapter 487
After discussing with everyone, the officials of various ministries bid farewell the next day and went to Huayuan City to take up their posts.And with them, there is also a letter of appointment for Pei Yan.

All of Lin Yifan's family lived in the old Lin family's house, and the garrison army also withdrew from the village one after another and rushed to various important places, leaving only a thousand personal guards stationed for defense.

At this time, Huazhou, with the southward relocation of the eight departments of Hengshan, began to appoint officials to counties and counties in Huazhou to build Hengshan's ruling organization in Huazhou.All the officials in Huazhou who were in office were transferred to Hengshan for investigation and training.

For this, some officials in various parts of Huazhou were very dissatisfied and intended to cause chaos.But under the suppression of the Hengshan Army, it was destroyed before it rose.

As the new pacifier, Pei Yan was both excited and frightened.What is exciting is that, as a surrendered person, he was able to gain the recognition and attention of the new master so quickly.What is frightening is that taking this position means that when governing Huazhou according to the Hengshan system, it is inevitable to offend some gentry.He deeply knows that the reason why he can be entrusted with important tasks is because he represents the interests of the gentry to a certain extent.Lin Yifan used him to balance the relationship between Hengshan and the gentry.This degree needs to be grasped by himself, that is, not to violate the Hengshan system, but also to protect the interests of the gentry a little bit, so as not to cause chaos in Huazhou.

Although this official position is indeed extremely hot, if he does well, then he, Pei Yan, can smoothly enter the Hengshan Center and become a core member of it.Thinking of this, his heart immediately warmed up. If he could sit in a high position, then his family would be able to prosper again for hundreds of years.In his eyes, Hengshan is very likely to become the last victor to win the world.

In order to obtain political achievements, Pei Yan personally wrote dozens of letters and sent them to the homes of some gentry families in various parts of Huazhou, enlisting talents from their families to come to the mansion to serve as assistant officials of the pacifier.

Now, although he served as a pacifier, Hengshan did not assign Hengshan officials to assist him.Instead, the chief officials of the Eight Departments of Hengshan were moved here, called assistants, but in fact it was just for supervision and decentralization of power.Pei Yan could see this very clearly, besides being rather dissatisfied in her heart, she was also secretly amazed at Lin Yifan's wrist.

Fortunately, although the post of pacifier has been deprived of more than half of his power, he is still the highest official in Huazhou in name, and still has a certain right to speak and make decisions about the government affairs of Huazhou.In order to make achievements as soon as possible, and at the same time to compete with Hengshan officials, he had to recruit a group of gentry children to serve.

He was not afraid that these gentry would not send people, and he clearly told them in the letter that if he fell, the Hengshan forces would take full control of Huazhou, and by then, the end of the Huazhou gentry would come.

Sure enough, only a dozen days after Pei Yan sent the letter, dozens of sons of noble families gathered outside the mansion to serve him.

Pei Yan was overjoyed and immediately led them to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for assessment.

For this matter, Ye Hongyu also attached great importance to it and personally went to conduct the school examination.The result was beyond everyone's expectations. These dozens of gentry children had outstanding abilities, and they all passed the assessment, and a few of them were outstanding.

Ye Hongyu looked at these high-spirited young talents with complicated expressions, and sighed secretly in his heart, the gentry is worthy of being a gentry, with a profound background, which Hengshan cannot match in just a few years.But these people, no matter how good they are, are not of one mind with Hengshan.It would not be Hengshan's good fortune to become an official rashly.

Facing Pei Yan's expectant gaze, Ye Hongyu didn't dare to veto it easily, otherwise, what would be the fairness of the assessment?Therefore, Ye Hongyu approved all of them, but in order to adapt to the Hengshan system, he still needs to enter the official school for one month of training.

After using this method to prevaricate Pei Yan, Ye Hongyu immediately sent a letter to Lin Yifan asking what to do about it.

After Lin Yifan received the letter, he was in the same mood as Ye Hongyu. It can be said that he had cultivated elites for several years with all his strength. .

However, since they are willing to become officials, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Hengshan.As long as he is trained, he may not be able to become the minister of Hengshan.It's a pity that it's impossible to take it for your own use now.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yifan replied to Ye Hongyu, allowing these sons of noble families to become officials and serve in Pei Yan's residence.At the same time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must follow the system to recruit children of noble families in the future, and must not treat them differently.

After writing the letter, Lin Yifan fell into deep thought. It is actually a good sign that the gentry chose to become an official in Hengshan. This just shows that the gentry no longer chose to avoid Hengshan, but began to want to integrate.Then the question arises, whether Hengshan integrated the Huazhou gentry, or the Huazhou gentry integrated Hengshan, this is the tragic fight between the two sides in the future.With him around, although the Hengshan forces would not be defeated, once the gentry gained the upper hand, then Hengshan's policies against the gentry would be greatly reduced.And history will follow the original track, and continue to be unable to extricate itself in the cycle of chaos and ups and downs.

Thinking of this, Lin Yifan immediately took out a piece of paper and wrote to Guo Huaili.He hoped that the Department of Educational Affairs would do its best to cultivate Hengshan's own talents, especially the talents of the next generation.These talents have been familiar with the Hengshan system since they were young, and they will surely become the most steadfast group of people who maintain the Hengshan system.

However, within a few days, Ye Hongyu and Guo Huaili received letters from Lin Yifan respectively.

After seeing Lin Yifan's reply, Ye Hongyu finally let go of his tangled heart.After investigating this group of gentry children, they were officially appointed as appeasement envoys, and they will be ready to take up the post after only one month of training.

After reading Lin Yifan's letter, Guo Huaili frowned deeply. If, as your lord said, once the Huazhou gentry penetrated into the center of Hengshan, Hengshan would gradually deteriorate.Then one's lifelong ambition will surely lead to death.But the gentry is a gentry after all, and the heritage of hundreds of years must not be underestimated.Once the gentry fully entered Hengshan's officialdom, then Hengshan's power was likely to be weakened little by little.

"It's time for the younger generation of Hengshan to enter the officialdom to practice." Guo Huaili's eyes narrowed, hesitating for a moment, and murmured.

Immediately, he spread out the white paper, dipped it in ink, and started writing.In the Hengshan Academy, there have been several young talents hidden in the snow.Because of their young age, Guo Huaili has always refused to let them go out of the mountain, but just let them stay in the school to continue studying and teach elementary school.

Under his pen, names emerged on the paper one by one, Zhang Wensheng, Lin Hua, Lin Ming. . . . .
