The question raised by Ha Jianyi can be described as very sharp. Of course, Haihan does not allow the behavior of selling officials and nobles, at least he can't put this kind of behavior on the surface.Especially in the Haihan Army, which pays attention to military merit and seniority, buying and selling official positions has always been regarded as taboo.If the Seventh Division Lu made such a move, then Shi Diwen, as its superior official, must also be responsible for it.
But Shi Diwen immediately shook his head and denied Ha Jianyi's opinion: "The Seventh Lu Division did not violate the standards for retaining Ming army personnel. The trainees you saw at Dai Chengrong's place also underwent strict screening. Only after their personal conditions are qualified will they get the opportunity to stay and train. As for whether they can serve in the Haihan Army in the future, it also depends on their training results."
Shi Diwen simply denied Ha Jianyi's doubts about the employment standards, but such an explanation could not completely dispel Ha Jianyi's doubts.
Ha Jianyi said: "The younger generation just wants to know whether the reason Lu Qishi retains these Yangzhou natives is related to their backgrounds?"
Shi Diwen was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "It is indeed related. But things are not what you think."
"The younger generation would like to hear the details." Ha Jianyi still refused to let it go.
"During the special historical period of dynasty change, if we want to replace the Ming Dynasty and rule the world, we must try to win the support of all walks of life. The more influential the group, the more important their position and attitude are to us. Yangzhou Salt Shang has great influence in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and it is of great significance to us to win their support!"
Shi Diwen said solemnly: "If you have carefully studied the history of our country's family fortune, it is not difficult to notice that we also retained a large number of former Ming officials, including in the Haihan Army, and now there are also a large number of senior officers from the Fujian region .Jianyi, don't you question these previous decisions made by the Ministry of Defense?"
Ha Jianyi really couldn't answer this.The example cited by Shi Diwen is actually the Xu family in Fujian. Before Xu Xinsu passed away, he knew that the family could only be dependent on Haihan in order to maintain their prosperity and wealth. .
During this process, a large number of Xu family children were recruited to serve in the Haihan Army, and there were also some outstanding ones who entered the Ministry of National Defense.
At that time, official newspapers such as "Haihan Times" also reported on this in detail, calling this approach a positive example of Haihan's reorganization and transformation of Fujian according to local conditions.
Of course, such a propaganda direction is inseparable from the good relationship between the Xu family and Haihan.It is precisely because Xu Xinsu has maintained close contacts with Haihan for more than [-] years, and has always cooperated with Haihan, and the Fujian Xu family is also regarded by Haihan as one of the most loyal allies, that they have received such positive feedback. propaganda.
But strictly speaking, the influence of Yangzhou salt merchants in Haihan is definitely not comparable to that of Fujian Xu's, and there are few reports on this group in newspapers.Even an official like Ha Jianyi, who has more information than the public, only knows about Yangzhou salt merchants at the stereotype level of being rich.
As for the interest relationship between the salt merchants and Haihan, the influence of this group in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and their attitude towards the rise of Haihan, these questions are indeed difficult for Ha Jianyi to answer, let alone To refute Shi Diwen's statement.
Seeing that Ha Jianyi did not open his mouth to refute, Shi Diwen continued: "The group of salt merchants in Yangzhou is not as simple as salt merchants as you think. It has a very large influence. And the attitude our country adopts towards them is very likely to be regarded by the outside world as the treatment that the powerful class of Ming Dynasty will face in the future."
"If we handle it well, then we can save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the process of taking over the world. But if we don't handle it properly, we will create many powerful opponents for ourselves invisibly. These situations are all caused by you in Sanya. Unpredictable in the office."
"We provide these salt merchants' children with an opportunity to join the Haihan Army. At the same time, we are showing our attitude to the salt merchant families behind them. No matter what their previous positions are, they are now welcome to join our camp. This is not only It is a problem that the Seventh Division of Lu has to deal with, and its impact will affect the stability of the region. Jianyi, if you still don’t understand, you can report it to Minister Yan and see what he will say.”
Shi Diwen still gave enough patience to Ha Jianyi's doubts, and tried his best to explain Lu Qishi's approach from a higher perspective.Although these reasons may not completely convince Ha Jianyi, it is indeed difficult to raise any more reasons for questioning.After all, if the investigation continues, Shi Diwen will ask him to go to Yan Chujie for an answer. Ha Jianyi doesn't have the guts to challenge the authority of the Minister of Defense.
"Next." Seeing that Ha Jianyi didn't pursue this question any further, Shi Diwen finally nodded and let everyone continue to ask questions that needed his answer.
Bai Letong gave a brief account of what he had seen and heard in the township test run today, and at the same time raised his own question, should the content of the test questions in this year's Zhejiang area test be closer to that of Haihan's existing officials' selection and assessment, instead of continuing to follow the rule of the Ming Dynasty? Period eight-legged essay test questions.
Shi Diwen said: "All dynasties and dynasties have selected talent selection methods that fit the social conditions at that time, such as the examination system and expropriation system in the Han Dynasty, the examination system in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the old imperial examination system is not as useless as you think. Since the Tang Dynasty, in the past 1000 years, the country has been selecting talents through imperial examinations. Most of the famous officials you know from historical books have become officials in this way, and have become governing officials. capable people in the world."
"Compared with the Ming Dynasty, our country puts more emphasis on practice than literary talents in the process of selecting and appointing officials, but in fact this is also due to the current situation in our country. In the early years, not so many scholars were willing to participate in the scientific examinations held in our country. If there are Of course, the executive committee still hopes to appoint more people with cultural background, so that the bureaucratic system can communicate more smoothly."
"Nowadays, there are finally more literati to choose from, but if we make major changes to the method and content of the imperial examinations at once, the candidates will inevitably complain, and at the same time, it will also affect the efficiency of our country's selection of talents. So after seeking opinions from all parties, I decided to follow the old rules for this year's township examination, and let the township test decide the content and direction of the questions."
