Chapter 1019: Manpower

Chapter 1019 of the text of the Tang Dynasty: It is naturally not just the army that has arrived in Chang'an with Li Ze. In fact, most of the officials of the entire Wuyi court have arrived in Chang'an. After entering Chang'an, these people immediately entered the role. Let Chang'an, the original center of the Tang Empire, operate quickly and efficiently.

When Zhu Youzhen fled, he only took away the army that was completely controlled by him and loyal to him and a small group of people. Most of the officials in Daliang were abandoned. Among these people, most of them were originally officials of the Li Yan era. Like Wang Shu, they were all betrayers.

Now, these people are all trembling objects.

They didn't know what would be waiting for them, and they could only passively wait for the verdict of fate.

But judging from every similar thing that happened in history, liquidation is inevitable. It only depends on the severity of the degree and the scope of the impact.

"Li Xiang, we need officials, many officials, especially a large number of technical officials." Cao Xin, the Minister of Personnel, sat on Li Ze's left and said: "Wuyi arrives here basically all the chief officials of various departments, yamen and departments. With these people, we can't do anything. Moreover, in Wuyi, our officials do many people's affairs alone, and this situation is actually not lasting."

"You mean to use some of the original officials in Chang'an?" Li Ze asked.

"I object!" Yang Kai said: "Without officials, we can transfer from Northland to Wuwei Academy and use those students who have not graduated in advance, so that they can complete their studies while becoming officials. These old officials are completely inconsistent with our philosophy. Using them will only throw some rat shit from our pot of fresh soup, which will ruin a whole pot of soup."

Cao Xin disagreed: "What I am talking about is technical officials, not those guys who are in vain. Li Xiang, for example, the Imperial Medical Bureau. Our Wuyi has been carrying out major medical reforms, but a mature doctor cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. We have worked so hard over the years, but we have only trained some doctors with basic qualities on a large scale. There is naturally no problem with simple diseases, but the complex ones are so complicated that we sigh. But the Imperial Medical Bureau in Chang'an has the best doctors in the Tang Dynasty. Why can't we use these people?"

"Have Jin Yuan found you?" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Yes, Jin Yuan visited several chief officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau one by one. Those people are not people who are worthy of fame." Speaking of this, Cao Xin suddenly laughed: "Because in the Imperial Medical Bureau, those who are worthy of fame have basically been cut off their heads."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"Li Xiang, we don't need the civil servants and generals in the past, because we can all deal with these. But we need technical talents, such as making, weaving, dyeing, chariots and horses, and the Imperial Heaven Supervision. I think any officials who are technical positions can be re-employed." Cao Xin said.

Li Ze nodded thoughtfully.

"In addition, the grassroots clerks, pen officials, constables, and yamen runners in various departments and yamen should also be re-employed. The army cannot always be filled with the yamen to do these things. In the long run, this is not possible." Cao Xin glanced at several senior military officers on the other side.

Tu Lichun smiled and said, "Our soldiers are also impatient to do these things! If there are substitutes, we are happy to get out of here."

Under the rule of the Wuyi court, there was a strict rule, that is, the division of military and civilians. Now, in the early days of Chang'an, basically everything is under the supervision of the army. Cao Xin said that this is what the army said. The army is a violent organ, and they believe in solving everything with force. For civil affairs, they lack the corresponding means and skills, and they act rudely. They are beneficial to maintaining order and establishing authority in a short period of time, but over time, many problems will inevitably arise.

"What Cao Gong and Yang Kai said make sense." Li Ze thought for a while and said, "In Chang'an, there were many people who originally had the salaries of the imperial court. Most of these people were the officials at the bottom. It is indeed not good for stability to be stable. More importantly, these people are not rebels, but just go with the flow. Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Pseudo-Rich Republic, what they did is actually the same."

Cao Xin nodded: "That's exactly what it is."

"So, what should be used should be used, then the people should be used. However, there must be reviews for the people who are used, such as fish and meat, and people who are angry with each other, such as those who are dependent on the back door to eat, these people will never be used." Li Ze said.

"Of course!" Cao Xin said: "I am going to collect it first, then review it, inspect a group, and take up a group. As for the Imperial Medical Bureau and some other professional yamen, there are naturally chief officials to identify it. I think most of these technicians are still available."

As the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Cao Xin has actually suffered from the lack of officials over the years.

Li Ze has always insisted on using the officials he trained. Over the years, most of the officials appointed by the Wuyi court came from Wuwei Academy, so that Wuwei Academy is called the cradle of officials. As long as you get admitted to this academy, you can basically enter the bureaucratic system.

But the people in Wuwei Academy are also limited.

However, the area under Li Ze's rule is getting bigger and bigger.

After the Northeast was taken down, a large number of Wuwei students carried packages and headed to the Northeast. Now they have taken down Luoyang and Chang'an. If they still stick to the past strategies, then these places will be out of order. You can't draw all the students who have just entered the Wuwei Academy.

Yang Kai was silent for a moment and said, "I don't object to it, but I still insist that before appointing them, I must first train them, at least let them know how to be the officials of Wuyi. These grassroots officials have the most contact with the people, and their performance has also become our performance intuitively. If they are still the same, then what is the difference between us and the court in the past? The new court and the new atmosphere must make the people feel this."

"I agree with what Yang Kai said!" Li Ze: "It is necessary to train. They work during the day, gather together to train at night, learn our laws, learn how we do things, and the training will be the supervisory authority. The probation period is one month, and I will be given an exam after one month. At the same time, it is combined with their practical operations in work. Those who pass will be hired, and they will be paid for their salary in accordance with our Wuyi standards and enjoy relevant benefits. Those who fail will be suspended."

"Don't worry, Li Xiang, I will definitely do this with all my heart." Yang Kai said: "It's good to see the King of Hell, but it's difficult for the little ghost to deal with. It's not okay if these people are not cured. I have another suggestion, I wonder if Li Xiang can adopt it?"

"You said!" Li Ze raised his hand.

"This time, our army suffered a lot of losses, and a considerable number of them were members of Yixing. I want to draw some of the injured and unsuitable people on the battlefield to enter these lower-level officials. These people can teach by words and deeds, and I can achieve better results."

Li Ze looked at Tu Lichun, Wang Sili and others.

For generals, soldiers who are slightly injured are generally very valuable assets in the army. After these people are injured and return to the team, most of them will become the backbone forces in the army. As the saying goes, if people don’t have a few scars on their bodies, they will really speak a little less.

As expected by Li Ze, Tu Lichun, Wang Sili and others just laughed dryly. After looking left and right, Tu Lichun said: "We try to draw as much as possible to let those who are not suitable for going to the battlefield again come over. However, these people are afraid that those with few legs are not obsessed. Does Cao's Ministry of Personnel have no objection?"

Yang Kai said solemnly: "These people are all meritorious ministers. Even if they are missing their arms and legs, they are not incapable of doing things. Do you think so?"

Cao Xin nodded helplessly.

How could he not nod? If he did not nod, he would immediately offend Yang Kai, Tu Lichun and others. For Tu Lichun and others, the morale of Yu Jun was also very good at being able to arrange a proper place for these wounded people.

"Then let's do this, and let Chang'an return to normal operation as soon as possible." Li Ze said. "Has the canal transportation been restored?"

Guo Fengxiao of the Ministry of Works nodded and said, "The canal channel has been cleared, but it will take time to allocate materials. It is estimated that in ten days, the first batch of materials will arrive in Chang'an."

"Land transportation is difficult now, and we need to increase our efforts in the canal transportation." Li Ze reminded: "Chang'an is temporarily supported by the army's grain storage, but this cannot last for many days. Only when the materials come in can people stabilize their hearts. Only when the people's hearts are settled can we do other things next. The Ministry of Revenue needs to find a way to mobilize money and grain from various places to meet the current situation."

Xia He said: "These things are already being done. Many merchants have raised grain to Luoyang, but it is inevitable that the price of grain will rise. Many merchants have proposed to the Business Department that they will increase by 10% to 20% above the highest standard for our review, because at this time, due to the increase in transportation, labor and other costs, they have no profit."

"Yes!" Li Ze immediately agreed. "We cannot use the price standards in Northland to measure the prices in Chang'an. I think it is not an exaggeration to rise by 10% to 20%. If others don't make money, it will be difficult to make people do things in the future."
