Chapter 4 Seeking Talents
In the Ministry of War, Pei Min is making the final handover, and the matter is almost done.
For safety reasons, he decided to write down all his understanding of the recruitment system and the matters that should be paid attention to, so as not to be absent, and the drawbacks of the recruitment system in history appeared in advance.
"Mr. Pei, the person you invited has arrived!"
Most people are used to calling Pei Min Pei Zhongcheng, but the Ministry of War calls him the Minister of the Assistant.
"Hurry, invite him in!" Pei Min put down the brush in his hand and walked out of the hall to greet him.
"The sinner Jiang Yue pays homage to Pei Zhongcheng!" Jiang Yue was dressed in a common man and looked a little embarrassed.
They were responsible for transporting food and grass, but all the food and grass were burned to the Tubo Rangers.
After the responsibility was held accountable, the state governor Du Binke was unable to refuse to blame and removed the position of governor. Now he temporarily took over the affairs of the governor in the name of the governor, and waited for Pei Min to take over.
This is the case with the governor of a state, let alone Jiang Yue and his group who were responsible for transporting it?
Jiang Yue was sentenced to exile the Western Regions. Just when he was about to escort him to the Western Regions, he suddenly brought the order from the Ministry of War, pardoned his sins, led him to Chang'an, and brought him to the Ministry of War.
When he arrived at the Ministry of War, Jiang Yue realized that it was Pei Min who personally submitted a memorial to plead for him at the critical moment, and that he received the emperor's pardon.
"What's wrong with Team Jiang!" Pei Min asked Jiang Yue to quit, saying: "I should apologize to Team Jiang. My Ministry of War was negligent and almost blamed the good ministers for mistakes."
The Ministry of War has four departments, among which the Office of the Office is responsible for the reward and punishment of military positions. According to regulations, the Office of the Office will hand over the results to the Minister of the Ministry of War for the reward and punishment after the reward and punishment.
However, there were two ministers from the Ministry of War. Pei Min transferred his regular positions and the rewards and punishments were decided by another minister. When he saw the file later, it was too late.
Everything was settled, so Pei Min had to plead with Li Longji and obtained a special amnesty order.
Pei Min's words moved Jiang Yue a little and said, "No matter what, it is a fact that all the food and grass are burned to Tubo."
"But compared with people, food and grass are certainly worth a pity, but not worth a show!" Pei Min said without hesitation: "I have seen the argument you described. You were attacked by an unknown number of Tubo Rangers in the dark. This is ambition but unintentional. In that case, the possibility of turning defeat into victory is almost zero."
"If you don't stand up and Tubo shoots your formation and then make another sprint, the result will be more than just destroying grain. You can command the grain team to save more than 700 fresh lives with the correct response method. This is a merit and cannot be erased."
Jiang Yue looked at Pei Min and felt a little moved. Fortunately, someone could understand him.
Pei Min stayed in a bit expectantly and said: "From your response and command, I can see that you understand military tactics. I am now the envoy of the Shence Army and will be in charge of serving as the governor of Taozhou. I am short of manpower at present. Do you want to serve in my hands?"
Jiang Yue felt a little throbbing in his heart and said loudly: "Sin, I am willing to do it."
East of Chang'an City!
Wang Xiaobai returned home with his salary, but it was still noon. Looking at his son who returned home early, Wang's father said in surprise: "Why did my son return early today?"
Wang Xiaobai said: "The child just quit his job as the Censorate!"
The prince said anxiously: "Why is this?"
The Censorate is different now. Under Pei Min's command, the Censorate is accepted by the world. Wang Xiaobai was also respected by neighbors because of his respect, and his salary and benefits are very good.
In the eyes of Wangfu, the Censorate is an iron job and can work for a lifetime. It is incredible to resign.
Wang Xiaobai said: "Mr. Zhongcheng left the Censorate today, and the child didn't want to stay."
Wang’s father Dadi, Wang Xiaobai has been attracted by Pei Min’s support today, and following Pei Min is also a good way out, saying, “Are you planning to go to Taozhou with Pei Zhongcheng?”
Wang Xiaobai shook his head and said firmly: "Zhongcheng asked the child to help him, but the child was not as good as martial arts. He really couldn't give Zhongcheng much help. He was ready to go out for some experience and wait until the child had a skill before going to Taozhou."

Taozhou.
Within a year, Tubo invaded nine times. Tubo rangers like hungry wolf came and went like the wind, killing the people and destroying the fields, causing panic.
October is the season when everything is harvesting, but there is no one outside the wilderness of Taozhou and everything is lonely.
The Peng family in Taozhou is singing and dancing, and it is very lively.
Peng Qi looked at the rich Taozhou households who were laughing in the hall and frowned: "What are you thinking about? Want to kill me?"
The Peng family is a major surname that has been exhibited for thousands of years in the Longyou area. It is different from the five aristocratic families. The Peng family is not a clan, and there are no decisive figures in the clan, so they raise their family.
However, they developed steadily and steadily. Their clans were spread throughout the Longyou prefectures, exploring the formation of a considerable force.
Peng Qi's grandfather established himself in Taozhou a hundred years ago and has always been the best gentry in Taozhou and has a very high reputation in Taozhou.
Tubo maliciously targeted Taozhou, destroying land and killing people. When the people of Taozhou were panic, Peng Qi, who was very business-minded, saw business opportunities.
Longyou does not produce a lot of grain, and urban and rural areas are almost self-sufficient and have little surplus grain.
Last year, Tubo invaded and destroyed the fields of Taozhou. This year, Rangers were sent to harass him. Taozhou has been out of food for two years, and Taozhou will definitely be short of food.
Thinking through this, Peng Qi had the idea of wealth in the country and quietly purchased the surrounding grain into the warehouse.
As he expected, Taozhou was undoubtedly in a grain shortage. Rice shops everywhere had no food, and it seemed that God helped him. Tubo burned the food and grass that the Tang Dynasty supported Taozhou.
Nowadays, only the Peng family in Taozhou has food, and the wealthy families in the city don’t have much food, and almost every household has already filled their stomachs.
Knowing that the Peng family had grain, wealthy families with good relationships with the Peng family came to their homes and were willing to buy it at a high price.
However, the "Tang Law Commentary" has a provision: the municipal officials evaluate the unfairness of goods, and the people who are not good or bad, and they are polite; those who are involved in the self shall be stolen.
The Tang Dynasty government assessed prices every ten days based on current affairs. If merchants sell daily necessities and evaluate prices, they will be severely punished.
If Peng Qi sells food at a high price, it is equivalent to violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
A rich family whispered: "Brother Peng, are we like this?"
Peng Qi smiled but said nothing.
One person said, "It turns out that it was Mr. Peng's birthday, so I will give you thirty pieces of brocade as a gift!"
Peng Qi bowed and replied, "Thank you Brother Zhang for your kindness, Peng will definitely return the gift!"
The others understood and gave gifts one by one.
Peng Qi carefully wrote down the gifts and returned them to the gifts another day.
There are policies above and countermeasures below.
Peng Qi sent out the wealthy families who were above the top, calculating the profits he had made, thinking about the huge amount of food and grass hidden in the mansion, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
