The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 226 Talent Selection System
  Southern Xinjiang.

Compared with the prosperous Chang'an, the area here is sparsely populated, and the buildings are all made of simple wood.

The ethnic minorities in various tribes in southern Xinjiang are not proficient in construction. Many architectural patterns are copied from the Han people, but the level of craftsmanship is not high.

Luoyue has achieved the unification of the entire south of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the expedition to the west has naturally controlled the population of the entire South Vietnamese tribes.

At this time, she was holding a letter from a big man, looking a little lost in thought.

A young man next to him asked Zheng Xi: "Chief, what did the Han people say in the letter?"

This young man's name is Namji. He is Zhengxi's distant cousin and has always admired Zhengxi.

Zheng Xi said calmly: "Let us send people to Chang'an to admit our mistakes. We need to chop off the heads of a few generals to apologize."

Namji's face turned red with anger and said, "Fart!"

"The worst we can do is start a war with them!"

Zhengxi shook his head: "Look at the thing in my hand, do you recognize it?"

Namji said blankly: "Isn't this cloth?"

"No."

Zhengxi shook his head and said, "It's paper. The technical level of the Han people far exceeds our knowledge."

"To say the least, do you think we are strong just because we have pacified the Jiaozhi tribes?"

"We just took advantage of the loophole. The big guys can't spare their hands to deal with us. They need to focus on northern Xinjiang. If they really free their hands, it will be easy to deal with us."

Zhengxi took a deep breath and said, "Go."

"I'll go myself."

Namji said: "Chief! Never do it! If they recognize you, you will be in danger."

Zhengxi smiled and said, "They don't recognize me."

"I need to understand all aspects of Chang'an's technology and learn from it for our people."

"We are too backward now. If the Han people hadn't made those swords for us, we might not have won this war."

Seeing that he could not be persuaded to conquer the west, Namji said: "I will go with you!"

Zhengxi thought for a while and said, "Okay."

After Namji returned to his tribe, he informed his father Cuoxi of the incident.

Cuoxi was thoughtful, and after a long silence he said, "Okay!"

"After you followed her to Chang'an, you looked for an opportunity to inform the Han people of her identity."

Namji was stunned for a moment and said, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you asking your cousin to die?"

Cuoxi said with a cold face: "I just want to kill her with Han hands!"

"Only if she dies will the tribes submit to us."

"She is just a woman. How can a tribe be led by a woman all the time?"

"Father, if I marry her, the tribe will still belong to us. Why do we have to make things so extreme? She is my cousin."

"Mom-motivated!" Cuoxi said sharply.

Namji insisted: "I will not do such a vicious thing. Father, please don't say it again, otherwise neither father nor son will have to do it."

"You! Your kindness to women!" Cuoxi said angrily, "Then marry Zhengxi as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

At the end of October, Zhengxi set out for Chang'an with a delegation of more than a hundred people and the heads of two insignificant tribesmen.

……

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

With the lights flickering, Tian Qianqiu met with Weining in the middle hall.

"Common people see Lord Wei."

Tian Qianqiu felt a little guilty.

Like most people, before he met Weining, he always thought that Weining was young and easy to fool. It is believed that Wei Ning relied on the relationship between the Wei family and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to achieve his current power.

But after he actually met Weining, all his naive thoughts were overturned.

After the show on Chang'an Avenue was exposed by Weining, Tian Qianqiu was upset.

The fact that this young man got to where he is today has something to do with the Wei family and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it's definitely not a big deal!
  His majestic appearance, confident expression, wise eyes, and understanding of everything all demonstrate the sophistication of this young marquis.

Wei Ning stared at Tian Qianqiu for a while and then said, "Do you think it's easy to be an official of a big man?"

"Being acquainted with someone can get you a stable official position at will?"

Tian Qianqiu said hurriedly: "The common people don't dare."

Wei Ning continued: "The big man is short of officials, but why should I use you? What do you have that I can use?"

Tian Qianqiu was sweating. The words of the marquis in front of him were so oppressive, which made him feel uneasy.

He quickly said: "The common people, the common people will be absolutely loyal to Lord Wei in the future."

Wei Ning sneered and said: "Loyal to me? Your official position is out of superiority and His Majesty. Are you loyal and I intend to go against His Majesty?"

"Or do you want to trap me in injustice?"

Tian Qianqiu's heart was beating hard.

But soon, he gave an answer that satisfied Weining.

"The loyalty of Marquis Wei to the Han Dynasty can be seen from the sun and the moon. To be loyal to Marquis Wei is to be loyal to Your Majesty."

Wei Ning suddenly smiled in relief.

This person has a good emotional intelligence, is not stupid, speaks at a high level, can withstand pressure, and reacts quickly.

Although history has confirmed that his future achievements will be high, Weining is still worried. If any cat or dog joins Weining and Weining gives him an official, what will he become?

You can be an official, just show your skills.

"Know the words?"

Tian Qianqiu's tensed heart finally relaxed and he said: "My ancestor, the descendant of Tian Qi during the Warring States Period, came from a poor and humble family, and he knew how to call himself."

It turned out to be the queen of famous ministers.

Weining nodded and said: "There are still gaps in Southern Xinjiang. I am developing Southern Xinjiang. Your Majesty ordered me to govern Southern Xinjiang. From then on, Southern Xinjiang will no longer let the barbarians control the barbarians. Instead, I will send my Chinese officials to govern Southern Xinjiang."

"I will equip you with military commanders. Once you are cured, you will be a great success."

Wei Ning did not force Li Qishi. He knew better than anyone else that Nanjiang Ku was not an easy bone to chew.

But for Tian Qianqiu, he needs to use power to suppress him, and he has different methods for different people.

"Are you up to it?"

Tian Qianqiu did not hesitate at all. He came from a poor family and had always been depressed. He wanted to become an official in the court, but he never got the chance.

Now this opportunity has been given to him. No matter whether southern Xinjiang is suffering or not, he will give it a try.

There are not many opportunities in a person's life. He has no connections and no force. If he loses the opportunity, the Tian family will never be able to rise again.

"The common people will not disappoint the Marquis."

Wei Ning waved his hand and said, "I understand, go back and wait for my news."

"Here!"

After Tian Qianqiu left, Wei Ning closed his eyes slightly.

When selecting the team this time, Weining suddenly discovered that Dahan's talent selection mechanism was very problematic.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had discussed this issue with him before, but Weining never paid attention to it.

Nowadays, the Han Dynasty has an imperial examination system. This system is destined to be unfair to many people, and even many talents are buried in the countryside.

If no one recommends you, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to become an official in the court.

The development of the imperial examination system will inevitably lead to the rise of one family after another. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty reaches its peak, their power can even compete with the dynasty.

This influence did not end completely until Wu Zetian brutally massacred the family. Not even Li Shimin, the talented and strategist Tian Khan, could solve the problem, which shows how wildly the aristocratic family grew in the end.
