Sichuan Sha Fumin Hall, a quasi-county-level unit, is under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture, and is now occupied by Xiaodaohui.

Liu Lichuan sat in the lobby of the county government, looking at the row of small knife-court generals in front of the hall with a blue face. It took him a long time to spit out three words.

"what to do?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they shook their heads helplessly. They had been impulsive before the rebellion. They caught the Qing army off guard with a burst of passion. In addition, the Qing army's Eight Banners soldiers had no combat power, so Xiaodaohui won several small victories. As a result, they didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. In the end, they encountered a tough guy and were defeated by the Li family army and had no power to fight back.

Now a group of Xiaodao will all look depressed and have a bad morale.

When Liu Lichuan saw that his father's expression was dead one by one, he felt even more depressed.

At this time, when he was exploring the horse, Li Weiguo personally led his army across the Huangpu River.

Liu Lichuan knew that he was going to attack his Chuansha County, so he discussed with his subordinates, but he was not confident.

Liu Lichuan sighed helplessly and immediately decided to evacuate Chuansha.

However, before evacuating, Xiaodao robbed Chuansha County as usual and took away a large amount of gold, silver and treasures.

When Li Weiguo's army resisted Chuansha County, Xiaodaohui had already evacuated, leaving behind a group of landlords and wealthy people crying and calling for their parents, as well as a large number of homeless people.

Li Weiguo immediately promised these victims that he would destroy Xiaodao and avenge them. The landlords and wealthy who suffered the most were all human beings. They knew that they would have to curry favor with Li Weiguo if they wanted to take revenge, so they ordered them to donate generously and donate money and food.

This kind of good thing was exactly the result that Li Weiguo was looking forward to. What surprised him was that the landlords and wealthy people could still take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of stones of grain. I have to admire the methods of these landlords and wealthy people.

Li Weiguo was naturally happy when someone gave money and food, and there was no reason not to collect it. It just so happened that many ordinary people in Chuansha County were suffering from disaster, so they used this money and food to help the victims.

I am afraid of everything. The people had hated Xiaodaohui before. Now, seeing Li Weiguo's army entering the city without any violations, it is a disciplined army, much stronger than Xiaodaohui, and also distributed relief grain to help the people. Such an army deserves support.

As a result, a large number of ordinary people actively signed up for the army.

This situation was rare in the Qing Dynasty. Usually, the Qing army arrested strong men, and then the government recruited soldiers. Now it is the first time that it is voluntarily enrolled in the Li family army.

In the study room of the county yamen, Wu Yong smiled and said to Li Weiguo: "Congratulations to the people, as long as the management is done properly, the future of the king's business will be expected."

"Come on, have a cup of tea first! All of this is thanks to your advice from Wu Yong. You have been exhausted these days." Li Weiguo said with a smile and poured Wu Yong a cup of tea himself.

It's no wonder that Li Weiguo is now without anyone, so he can only let Wu Yong work hard.

Wu Yong has been running back and forth in Chongming County, Baoshan County and Shanghai County recently to handle the official duties of each county. The original county yamen was killed and fled, and the entire yamen fell into a state of paralysis, so Wu Yong had to deal with it one by one.

Although Wu Yong felt very tired, he was very happy. He knew that he had read the wrong person. Li Weiguo was indeed a figure. In just one and a half years, he was promoted from a county magistrate to a prefect. He had more than 10,000 troops under his command, and was in charge of the three governments. The territory was equivalent to the territory from a county to a land of three governments. The territory expanded by more than ten times. At this speed, he might soon be promoted to a provincial governor, a provincial chief, and then plotted against the world, and major events could be accomplished.

Thinking of his bright future, Wu Yong was happy no matter how hard or tired he was. Seeing Li Weiguo pouring tea for him personally, Wu Yong felt happy and hurriedly said, "Thank you, I am not tired at all. It is an honor for me to do things for me."

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Who made you the only minister in my hands? If there were more capable ministers like you to help me, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

After saying that, Li Weiguo looked a little depressed. He thought that his reputation was not good enough, and he still did not have a decent talent to join him.

Wu Yong observed his expression and immediately understood, so he said, "I am now promoted to Songjiang Prefecture, and he also handled Su Song Taishang Preparation. He is in charge of the military affairs of the people's livelihood and three governments. He should have a team of staff."

Team of staff?

Li Weiguo suddenly realized that he had read Zeng Guofan's book and knew that the reason why Zeng Guofan was able to succeed was due to his powerful team of staff.

Li Hongzhang, Peng Yulin, Guo Songtao, Zuo Zongtang, Liu Rong, Luo Zenan, Li Yuandu, Ding Richang, these eight people became famous because of Zeng Guofan, and they also made Zeng Guofan famous for his lifetime, with power in the court and no one could match.

Li Weiguo was thinking that if he could get these helps, he would probably be able to reach Zeng Guofan's level, and even surpass him. After all, Zeng Guofan refused to betray the Qing Dynasty and became king for his whole life, but Li Weiguo would not be like this. He would not be a slave to the Qing Dynasty. He had greater ambitions, but he was determined to be his master.

Wu Yong knew Li Weiguo's ambitions, so he proposed: "It should be easy for adults to establish a staff team. After all, adults are now in the fourth rank, and the imperial officials in charge of one side hold heavy troops. They will recover Baoshan and Shanghai counties, which will shock Su Songtai. Celebrities and celebrities from all over the country should now know the reputation of adults. As long as adults reflect the virtues of respecting and being respected and humble, someone will come to serve."

Li Weiguo asked, "Then what should I do?"

Wu Yong said: "It's very simple, set up a recruitment hall to recruit talents."

Li Weiguo asked again: "What should I do if the wise man doesn't come?"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Why don't you worry about not coming if you buy bones for a thousand gold?"

Li Weiguo suddenly realized and immediately thanked Wu Yong for his suggestions. Then, under the name of Songjiang Prefecture and Su Songtai Taibing Preparation, he issued a recruitment notice in Songjiang Prefecture, Taicang Zhili Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. For a time, Su Songtai Tai was very lively and everyone ran around to tell him.

Why did scholars in ancient times study? They were just selling goods to the imperial family.

In the years of peace, scholars could only go to the imperial examinations and entered the officialdom, which became quite difficult during the Xianfeng period, because the Qing court was the only dynasty that allowed the sale of official positions and porridge. The system of selling official positions and porridge for more than two hundred consecutive years made the Qing official stinking smell full of the smell of money, causing many scholars to be buried and there was no chance to enter the officialdom.

With the rebellion of the Taiping Army and the Xiaodaohui, the Qing court was unable to suppress it and delegated military power to the local area. Anyone who had read history books or had a little political savvy would understand that the central government's power was lost and the era of local separatist rule was about to come.

In peaceful times, because the power is in the central government, scholars have to follow the path of imperial examinations, because the imperial examinations represent imperial power. However, in troubled times, power is in the local area, so smart scholars naturally have to join the aides of local officials. For example, in history, Li Hongzhang had more than 20 ranks of officials in his aides, and countless other local officials were in the hands of Li Hongzhang.

Nowadays, Li Weiguo is the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and Su Songtai Bing, and is in charge of military and political power. He has held heavy troops and won many battles against Xiaodaohui. If it were not very prominent in normal times, the key is that when Li Weiguo won, it was when others were defeated repeatedly. This comparison made Li Weiguo even more outstanding.

Therefore, once Li Weiguo's recruitment order was promulgated, a large number of talents came to join him.

Li Weiguo wanted to be so angry that he suddenly felt super talents from all over the world came to join him, and then there were countless spectacular scenes of civil officials, strategists and military generals under the tent.

Unfortunately, ideals and beauty are very skinny.

Most of the talents who came to join were not the kind of talented people who governed the country and stabilized the country that Li Weiguo wanted. Most of them were juren, scholars and martial artists who had completed the scientific research. Li Weiguo didn't want it, but when he thought of Wu Yong's words, he had to accept everything and make a choice to buy bones with a thousand gold coins. Only talent is used, hoping that the real talent would come and join him.

However, these people are not useless. Although they do not have the talent to govern the country and ensure stability, they are still more than enough to be a county-level civil servant. It just so happens that the civil servants in Shanghai, Baoshan County and Chuansha Hall were killed and killed and fled by Xiaodao. There are a lot of vacant positions. These people can fill the vacancy and make the counties operate normally, which is suitable for the rules.

With the staff, Li Weiguo was not satisfied, but he obviously felt much more relaxed. Three cowhidemakers were the ones who were Zhuge Liang. This was not empty talk. You must know the truth that everyone was high in firewood. A person’s wisdom is limited, but the wisdom of the masses is infinite. Every word you say and say, there will always be a good plan to be studied.

Everything is too much, and when we proceed step by step, Li Weiguo quickly calmed down. Since he already had a junior staff, would the senior staff still be far away?
