Chapter 413
What was most important in the seventeenth century - talent!
Li Xiao has a deep understanding of this sentence. Nowadays, everyone is asking for people from him everywhere. There are many people, but there are not so many useful people. Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the number of illiterates has reached a surprising level. As a Han Chinese
, most Han people in this country do not know Chinese characters. According to Li Xiao's standards, less than 10% of the people are semi-literate.
The rest are fucking illiterate!
If a government decree is to be implemented, a notice must be issued. Along with the notice, you must assign a literate person to help read the words on the notice. Otherwise, the people in the countryside will not know what those calligraphy characters mean.
If you are illiterate, you will not be able to read and understand the truth. As a result, some strange beliefs appeared, and people from Sakyamuni to Taishang Laojun worshiped them. Some of the more trendy ones would even say God bless them.
Well-known and unknown gods are flying all over the sky, and Li Xiao even heard that he has become a god. Moreover, he is a super awesome person who can fly when he jumps, his eyes light up, and his mouth breathes fire. Combining his own knowledge, Li Xiao feels that he has become a god.
Wearing underpants outside should make you look like Superman.
I really want to become Superman, but Superman can't solve the talent problem. Especially when there are two old guys with white beards sitting in front of me!
Mao Wenlong's face was rosy and he walked with wind, and his beard under his jaw was combed meticulously. His head was shaved with a new style, especially the white hair on the temples, which was very bald. His hair was parted three to seven, in line with the golden section standard. He was dressed straight
He wears a new military uniform made of wool, and wears a newly-haired gold star with the rank of Major General on his shoulders. You can tell at a glance that this guy has been very nourished by his stay in Shanhaiguan.
"There are really no people left. You can't allocate people to the team." Li Xiao felt a headache. The establishment of a new army here requires a large number of grassroots officers. Over there, Mao Wenlong reached out to Li Xiao for outstanding soldiers and officers to enrich his army.
A military academy that is getting bigger and bigger.
The people Mao Wenlong sent out were very vicious, and he picked out all the backbones of the troops. Especially Ao Canghai's First Division, and Yuan Chonghuan's Second Division. These were all teams with combat experience, and the lawsuits between these two were directly brought against Li
In front of Xiao Xiao. According to them, they should be replenished now, rather than transferring their core members to his grandma's military academy.
Not only did they not give them to Mao Wenlong, but they also asked Mao Wenlong for them. Anyone who graduated from the Army Officer School became a hot commodity, and all divisions except the gate of the military academy rushed to get them.
At the critical moment, Li Xiu came to cause trouble. This kid heard Li Xiao talk about the Marine Corps, and now he was thinking about building a Marine Corps. Based on the number of people, he asked Mao Wenlong for a dozen young men who originally belonged to Ao Canghai.
Officer. At this moment, Mr. Ao exploded.
Mao Wenlong came to the capital to hide from Mr. Ao, who was going crazy! This man cannot be offended!
"If you can't allocate manpower, there's nothing I can do about it. There are only so many students graduating every year. You can't do it without washing the mud. I still want my reputation. Either you go and tell Li Xiu to vomit people."
Come out and give it back to Master Ao, or you can get someone to come out for me, and I will double the supply to Master Ao next year." Mao Wenlong spread his hands.
After all, it was the veteran bureaucrat who had kicked the ball directly to Li Xiao. Anyway, it was your brother who used the back door, and I approved the note to give you face. If something happens now, you can't stay out of it.
Li Xiao's head hurts so much that Yuan Chonghuan and Ao Ye will never let him go again. Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dashou's soldiers have never fought, and they are not interested in giving to Mao Wenlong's family. In fact, the three
Many officers of the Division and the Fourth Division are military academy graduates. For example, Li Hu, who is now the battalion commander!
"Cough!" Sun Chengzong coughed lightly. Li Xiao and Mao Wenlong didn't say anything, and looked at the chief minister of the Longwu Dynasty in front of them.
"Actually, this is a simple matter. I just want someone who is literate and willing to reimburse the country and the imperial court."
"You still have to be able to endure hardship." Mao Wenlong quickly added.
"Well! This one also counts. In fact, such people are easy to find. Looking at the borders of Hebei and Shandong, although there are not many celebrities and scholars who are rich in economics, there are still many scholars who can read and write. As long as Long live makes a decree, Enke will be taken.
Talented people, in a poor land like Shandong and Hebei, it is not difficult to find three to five hundred people who can read and write and can reimburse the country."
"What Mr. Chief Assistant said makes sense." Mao Wenlong rubbed his hands excitedly. What he is most worried about now is the serious shortage of qualified students. Mao Wenlong is right, although scholars are still against the Longwu Dynasty because of the influence of the Donglin Party.
Very resistant. But with so many prefectures and counties in Shandong and Hebei, it is not a problem to recruit three to five hundred people.
"You can also mobilize literate soldiers to take the exam and select the talented ones. As long as they graduate from the military academy, they will immediately become officers." Li Xiao also thought of an idea.
"If we take a two-pronged approach, it shouldn't be difficult for the military academy to recruit a thousand cadets this year." Sun Chengzong nodded. He also thought Li Xiao's method was good.
"It's just that if this happens, will the divisions not release people as before? Even if the soldiers are admitted to the military academy, we can't take them away." Mao Wenlong was afraid of those guys holding gun barrels in their hands, especially Ao Canghai.
. With his eyes wide open, he really dared to beat him.
"This matter is easy to handle. After graduation, the soldiers who pass the exams of each division will still return to each division to become officers. Ao Canghai and the others don't want officers? Just let him wait for a year. There will be too many officers for him to worry about.
Lao Mao, those talented people are usually industrious. After entering the military academy, you will train like new recruits for three months. In three months, those guys who can't bear the hardship will not be able to stay. Travel expenses will be paid and sent back.
The place of origin is irrelevant. In this way, you will have a large number of graduates next year.
You can then use these graduates to exchange with the divisions and let them provide officers with rich combat experience as instructors. Two for one or three for one is up to you. In this way, your military school will benefit, and each division will get more officers. I think
, even Lao Ao will agree."
After all, he is an old fox who has become a master through cultivation. He solved the problem in a few words. Moreover, the relevant stakeholders have been taken care of, and it is beneficial to everyone. It would be strange if it cannot continue.
"I heard that Master Ao will come to Beijing tomorrow, brother Xiao, that big bastard...!" Mao Wenlong couldn't sit still when he thought that Master Ao was going to Beijing to compete with him. Although Sun Chengzong's idea was good, it was absolutely impossible.
As soon as that old man made a fool of himself, he was no match for him. After a few punches, this old man would be dead.
"It doesn't matter! As long as you give him a few more places to attend the military academy, Lao Ao will definitely agree. I will give you another idea...!"
