“People’s support is available!”
Wang Jing was surrounded by people as he passed by on the street. The people on both sides were not afraid after seeing the energetic and imposing cavalry. Instead, they were extremely excited and excited.
There is a folk saying that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails.
The army passed through the border, and the soldiers passed by like a wash.
Whenever there is a war, whether it is officers and soldiers or rioters, while fighting each other, they will inevitably loot and harm the people.
This left a deep negative impression on the people.
In history, officers and soldiers with slightly better military discipline can be called kings by the common people. For example, the Yue Family Army, which did not demolish the house or starve to death, has only a few cases in thousands of years of history. .
Harming the people, killing good people and taking credit for their merits, this is the common attitude of officers and soldiers.
When Wang Jing started his career, he attached great importance to military records. In addition, he had sufficient food and grass as a guarantee, so his soldiers could live a good life without robbing and plundering.
Therefore, although the military discipline of the Huai Army cannot be compared with the legendary Yue Family Army, it is definitely several grades higher than that of the ordinary army.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Huai Army who still wanted to harm the people were basically the original soldiers of Sun Ru's Huainan Army who were accustomed to killing and had violent personalities.
When reorganizing these troops, Wang Jing had already screened them once and killed many generals who had committed evil deeds, but some hidden dangers were inevitably left behind.
During the training and expedition of the Huai army, hundreds of soldiers violated military law and were directly captured by military judges.
First show them to the public, and then behead them all.
The Huai army was not the military governor of the late Tang Dynasty, and it could not tolerate those unruly soldiers.
The common people have their own eyes, and they can see the difference between the Huai Army and other armies, so their support for the Huai Army and Wang Jing is constantly rising.
If people's hearts and minds can also be observed using data... then there will definitely be consecutive characters in front of Wang Jing's eyes that mean people's hearts and minds plus ten.
"Wuhe and the newly captured Huaidong land must count the Dingkou as soon as possible, register and prepare for the division of prefectures and counties. We must quickly gather the people's support, so as to consolidate the territory and prepare for future expansion!"
After Wang Jing looked at the warmly welcoming people on the street, he turned his head and gave instructions to Shen Yi.
"I must do it as soon as possible. However, the Six Ministries and Thirteen Divisions do not have enough officials. Especially in Huaidong, the land is very vast. If the prefectures and counties are divided, there will be enough to set up twenty or thirty counties. Qualified county magistrates and six officials severely lacking……"
Chen Yi agreed first, then frowned slightly.
"Sir, do you have any countermeasures?"
Of course Wang Jing knew this situation. Currently, the three provinces, six ministries and thirteen divisions at the center of Prince Huai's Mansion have not yet been fully filled. Many departments have empty establishments and lack of officials.
There are also local officials. At this time, only the county towns near Sihong are fully staffed. Sites like Wuhe, which have only been taken over recently, are all understaffed.
Shen Yi said: "I think that the village chiefs, patrol inspectors and other officials at the lower level can be filled by the commanders and team members who were injured on the battlefield. There is no need to put all the soldiers who have retired due to injuries into the guardhouse for training..."
"As for the county magistrate and the six officials, they need to be filled by literate scholars. I suggest that the king hold the imperial examination!"
Imperial examination!
Since its emergence in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has continued throughout subsequent history. No matter what dynasty or era, imperial examinations and conferring officials are the grand road to becoming an official.
Wang Jing also knew that holding imperial examinations could quickly select talents and complete the staffing of central and local officials.
But he never let go.
Because if the imperial examination is conducted directly without preparation, only the children of aristocratic families will be successful, and those from lower-class backgrounds or even common people will not be able to succeed at all.
After several imperial examinations, the Huai army center and the local government will form the basic system of the gentry and wealthy clan.
If this continues, the Huai Army will establish a country that is not much different from other dynasties. This is not in line with Wang Jing's original intention of sending imperial power to the countryside and maintaining fairness as much as possible.
"Let the injured general become a local official... Yes, but the imperial examination is very important. After we return, everyone will discuss it together before making a decision!"
Wang Jing said lightly.
While he was speaking, he secretly made a decision to set up social studies and literacy classes in various cities and towns to organize and educate the wounded soldiers who had withdrawn from the army due to injuries.
As long as they can read documents and undergo some training, it will not be a problem for them to become local grassroots officials.
These people who contributed to the expansion and growth of the Huai Army and supported Wang Jing very much are the foundation of the Huai Army.
As for those scholars who defected from other places.
Maybe there are talents among them who are willing to serve the Huai Army, but they have not made any contribution to the expansion of the Huai Army. Why can they become officials and put themselves above the Huai Army's "own members"?
There will definitely be imperial examinations.
But we have to wait until Wang Jing's basic base occupies half of the official establishment of the Huai Army.
As a scholar who came from the imperial examination, Shen Yi had a natural affinity for the imperial examination, but after hearing Wang Jing's words, he could only shut up.
Anyway, Wang Jing did not refuse his proposal.
And as the king said, the imperial examination is very important, and you can't just pat your head and say it casually. Whether it is an assessment of the Four Books and Five Classics, or an assessment of eight-legged essays, or an assessment of arithmetic, laws, etc., all need to be discussed.
While they were talking, the palace was already in sight.
Wang Jing immediately saw Xiao Qiao and many maids waiting for him in front of the palace.
"I congratulate the king on his great victory..."
When there were outsiders, Xiao Qiao was elegant and dignified, not as lively as usual. When she saw Wang Jing, her eyes were shining with stars, and her pretty face had a smile that couldn't be concealed.
Wang Jing dismounted, stepped forward and held her little hand.
Many of the guards at the back returned to the camp under the leadership of the general, and only a small number of guards began to take over the defense of the palace.
"Where is your sister? Why didn't you see her?"
Wang Jing glanced around and couldn't find Da Qiao, so he couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Qiao could no longer hide her joy at this time, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, husband, my sister is pregnant..."
Wang Jing's body suddenly shook.
Chen Yi, who was not far away, had not left yet, and his spiritual power had already broken through to the third level. Although he had no fighting power, his talent for hearing and seeing had already appeared.
He also heard what Xiao Qiao said.
"This is real?"
Wang Jing was so surprised that he immediately asked Xiao Qiao to take him to see Da Qiao.
Shen Yi has been following Wang Jing for a long time and has long been regarded as Wang Jing's absolute confidant. He also followed Wang Jing into the palace. I want to know the authenticity of this news as soon as possible.
When Wang Jing and Xiao Qiao quickly entered the house.
He stood outside the house waiting for news.
