Daqin: Who does this throne give to me?

Chapter 30 Fan Zeng's Suggestions

At noon on the second day, Zhao Wen personally entertained Liu Bang, Xiao He, and Fan Zeng in the main hall of the Chu Palace.

The top singing and dancing, the most luxurious banquet, looking at Zhao Wen sitting on the top with a relaxed and happy face, Fan Zeng couldn't help cursing in his heart: "I'm not afraid of playing with things and losing my mind!"

This is also what he dislikes Zhao Wen the most now. He has the ability to handle it, but he has handed over all the affairs, and plays around Shouchun with a few women every day.

However, there are two outstanding ministers, Liu Bang and Xiao He, who handle all aspects in a stable manner, so that Zhao Wen doesn't have to worry about it at all.

But I don't know that in Zhao Wen's view, there is an example of winning the government, which can be said to have exhausted himself to death.

After all, if an emperor really wanted to do something, he would have countless things to do.

Instead of tiring yourself like this, it's better to grasp the military power, and then hand over all the most tiring government affairs. You only need to appoint suitable candidates and supervise them.

After the banquet, he brought the three of them to the study, and after seeing the three of them sat down, Zhao Wen said: "Everyone now has some understanding of Jiujiang County. From your point of view, what should we do next? It can build Jiujiang County even better!"

After Liu Bang and Xiao He looked at each other, they looked at Fan Zeng at the same time. After all, His Highness personally ran out to invite him back. Naturally, they had to check each other's abilities first.

Fan Zeng glanced at Liu Bang and Xiao He. The ability of these two people is the only one he has ever seen in his life, but the biggest problem is that he flatters the twenty princes too much, and even loses his status as a courtier.

However, he could also see that today's appearance was because these two people wanted to test their abilities and see if their names were in vain.

He also said very directly: "Jiujiang and even today's Daqin, the biggest problem is that all the positions are controlled by the old ministers of the Six Kingdoms, that is, the big nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and there are more small nobles and even poor families. Opportunity!"

"Now that the world has just been unified, these people can accept it in a short period of time, but they have never been able to find an opportunity to make their mark in Daqin, so they will definitely feel resentful!"

"Little noble, poor family, wonderful!" Zhao Wen clapped his hands excitedly and laughed.

For a long time, what he lacked the most were scholars, but he thought that reading in this era was the right of nobles, but he forgot that there were also minor nobles and poor families.

For example, Liu Bang and Xiao He in front of me are also scholars, but they are only the most low-level officials.

I am short of manpower now, and these people are suppressed by the great nobles of the original six countries and cannot raise their heads. Isn't this the best opportunity for me to win them over!
"Post up an announcement that my prince is thirsty for talent. After half a year, an exam will be held in Jiujiang. Those who pass the exam will be personally arranged or recommended by me to be an official in the imperial court!"

Not only is there a shortage of talents, but the lack of talents is even more lacking in Shihuang. It's just that in this era, the recommendation system is implemented, and there is a method of connecting seats, so generally no one dares to recommend at will.

But others are afraid of problems with the person they recommend, so what should I be afraid of as a prince.

These people were admitted by their own exams in vain, and they naturally belonged to their own strength.

Not only can he greatly expand his sphere of influence in Daqin, but he can also gain a good reputation among all scholars. In Zhao Wen's view, such a good thing is simply beneficial and harmless.

"Sir, you are really talented!" Looking at Fan Zeng appreciatively, Zhao Wen was all smiles.

Just this one suggestion solved his big problem of lack of manpower, and even brought a large number of literati who were unwilling to be lonely into the imperial court system.

Moreover, making this suggestion also means that Fan Zeng is willing to contribute to himself, so he directly appointed: "Mr. Fan will be the supervisory censor of Jiujiang from now on!"

"No!" The imperial censor can supervise civil and military officials, and it can be said that he is a high-ranking official. In the beginning, he was such a high-ranking official. Fan Zeng stood up very solemnly and bowed to Zhao Wen.

Liu Bang and Xiao He looked at Fan Zeng with weird faces. They were sure that Fan Zeng did not mean to recruit talents from all over the world through examinations, but just wanted to remind the little nobles and poor families that there were talents too.

The following exams were all the wishes of the twenty princes themselves, but now, Fan Zeng admitted all of them with confidence. Only this, the two of them can be sure that although this Fan Zeng is capable, but he thinks too much about his name. It's heavy.

But contending for fame with superiors is always risking one's life, something a wise man would never do!

"The other thing is that the soldiers who surrendered from the six countries were all treated as prisoners. It can be said that it is at stake. If these people are released, it will definitely greatly enhance your highness's reputation among the people of Daqin!"

The first suggestion was adopted, and His Highness came up with a new way to pass the exam. Fan Zeng immediately put forward his second suggestion.

"Soldiers who surrendered from the six nations!"

Hearing Fan Zeng raise this question, Zhao Wen couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. He had already seen this point, but he never mentioned it to Emperor Shihuang.

Now that the Great Qin Empire has just been established, whether it is the world's roads or water conservancy, there is also the Afang Palace, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and even the Great Wall that connects the six countries.

Daqin now has too many projects that require manpower, and the surrendered soldiers from these six countries are the best labor force.

If there were no such people, with the temperament of the first emperor, he would rather recruit civilians from all over the world than stop these projects. It is useless to raise this matter by himself, and it is definitely not what he should raise.

"Do you know how many projects Daqin is suggesting?" The first suggestion put forward by the just-appointed Doctor Yushi, even if he couldn't agree, he still had to explain it.

"If these people were released, where do you think the manpower needed to continue the project would come from?"

Zhao Wen just asked two questions, no matter Liu Bang, Xiao He or Fan Zeng's expressions suddenly changed, and they all understood what Zhao Wen meant.

After a while, Fan Zeng sighed: "Millions of young and strong!"

Now is the time when Daqin is most short of people. If so many young and strong are released, the population of all parts of the world will inevitably increase greatly in at most [-] years.

"This is not something that a prince like me should say, and these people were Daqin's enemies at the beginning, so they should naturally bear the consequences of being Daqin's enemies!"

Zhao Wen naturally knew the benefits of repatriating millions of young adults, but these people were recruited by the nobles of the Six Nations, and their families held grudges, and they also held grudges against the nobles of the Six Nations.

After all, because the first emperor did not wantonly kill, many of the original nobles of these six countries are still in high positions.

On the contrary, if these people are released, because of Daqin's driving of these people, all the hatred will be recorded on Daqin.

Instead of this, it is better to let the hatred end in this generation!
