Chapter 80: Wind and Waves
This time to recruit talents, Xiao Yuan is facing the entire Qin land, not just the city.
A few days later, a village.
The notice had been pasted to the entrance of the village by the soldiers, and there was no paper at that time, most of the official documents were bamboo slips, and the notice was also made of silk cloth, with words on it, and the end was stamped with a red official seal.
At this time, the villagers had already gathered, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and people pointed at the notices and talked about them, but they couldn't say why.
Because at that time, in a village like this, I am afraid that there were no two or three people who could read and write.
These villagers were illiterate, and after a lot of commotion, someone said: "This should be an official document from the government, hurry up, go and find Xiao Wu to take a look." ”
Xiao Wu, the only literate person in this village, is a young man, studious since childhood, although poor, but ambitious, full of poetry and books, very talented, many families have children, and they are looking for him to name him.
Not long after, surrounded by several villagers, Xiao Wu was invited here.
Before he could stand firm, the crowd began to say, "Xiao Wu, hurry up and help everyone see, what is written on this?" ”
"Yes, yes, read it to everyone......"
"Wait, wait, I'll take a look." Xiao Wu was squeezed, and after stabilizing his body, he also looked at it carefully.
After he finished reading the notice, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face showed an incredible expression: "This, this is impossible." ”
"What's wrong, what's wrong......" someone began to urge.
"This ......" Xiao Wu still felt a little incredible, and after a pause, he said: "This is said above, Lord Taishou personally ordered that the state government should recruit talents, no matter where they come from, no matter how poor they are, as long as they have talent, they can go to the examiner." ”
"What? Examiner? Regardless of origin? Someone asked in surprise.
"How is this possible! If you want to be an official, you have to be born a powerful person, this must be a lie! "There is another humanity.
"But, that's what it says." Xiao Wu pointed to the text, and then pointed to the official seal and said: "Also, what is stamped here is the official seal of Taishou, which is not a notice in the county, but the highest order of the state government, and there will be no fake." ”
"That's weird, isn't it?" And humane.
At this time, the old village chief of the village coughed twice, and stopped everyone's discussion: "Okay, okay, let's be quiet." ”
As he spoke, he also looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, you are the only one in our village who is knowledgeable, and since you are the state government's notice, Taishou wants to recruit talents, so why don't you try it?" ”
"This, village chief." Xiao Wu showed an embarrassed expression: "This recruitment order, Lord Taishou is the first to open the Qin land, and there must be more talents to take the exam, such as the carp that crosses the river, I am only a shallow learner, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass the test." ”
"Huh?" The old village chief waved his hand and cheered him on: "You also said just now, it says that no matter where you come from, as long as you have talent, you can go, so is the poetry and book you have studied hard all these years so wasted?" Besides, isn't this a chance in your life? If you miss it, you'll regret it. ”
As soon as the village chief's words were finished, the other villagers also began to echo and said: "Yes, Xiao Wu, no matter what, you have to try, maybe you can really be an official!" When the time comes, you will be glorious! ”
Everyone was cheering for it, Xiao Wu heard this, looked around, and there was a touch of heat in his eyes......
Since the notice was spread to various places, the current situation is not only here, I don't know how many places have set off storms!
The villages are like this, not to mention the county seat, let alone Qinzhou.
This recruitment of talents, it can be said that it is an opportunity for all literati in Qindi.
Qinzhou, a teahouse private room.
There were two people sitting opposite each other, sitting on the floor.
One of them picked up the teapot, reached out and poured a cup of tea for the person opposite, and said at the same time: "Brother Shangguan, our new Taishou has a recruitment order, but it has made the entire Qin land suddenly stormy, look outside, how lively it is." ”
The man on the other side held up the teacup, smiled slightly, and did not speak.
This person, named Shangguan Wenruo, traveled the world in his early years, was full of wealth, and was an unborn young talent in Qinzhou.
His appearance is weak, white-faced, and the whole person looks very bookish.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the person opposite said: "By the way, I have heard that Shi Guoqian, the governor of Qin, has invited Brother Shangguan to be an official several times, but you have politely refused." ”
"Guo Qian?" Shangguan Wenruo shook his head slightly, and said in a flat voice: "I just want to fill my own pockets, a stolen official of the common people, how can it be the master of Ming, if I went to be an official under him, how would I display this ambition?" For the exploitation of the people? ”
"Hehe, Brother Shangguan dares to say it." The man on the other side also smiled, and then asked, "What about our new Taishou?" What does Brother Shangguan think about this recruitment order? ”
"I'm afraid that Qin Di is going to be governed." Shangguan Wen is concise and to the point.
"Then Brother Shangguan won't try it?" The man said again: "I heard that the examiner this time, the person in charge is named Liu Yuzhi, and he is the original Liucheng County Order, if it is correct, Brother Shangguan should know this person, right?" ”
Shangguan Wenruo nodded and said: "That's right, I do know each other, I traveled to Anyang at the beginning, and I had some friendships, this person, if he gets the master, he should be a good minister, but I didn't expect to be doing things under this new Taishou now." ”
At that time, the information was not developed, and I don't know how they knew each other as literati, as if there was a specific circle between strategists, in short, listening to the meaning of Shangguan Wenruo's words, it seemed that he was quite familiar with Liu Yuzhi.
And when the man heard this, he couldn't help but say: "That is the case, the relationship between the official brother and Liu Yuzhi ......."
"Huh?" Knowing what he wanted to say, Shangguan Wenruo waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you go through the back door, you will be underestimated, isn't it a recruitment order?" Haven't you ever thought about it? ”
His tone was relaxed, or rather, the man was a little arrogant.
After speaking, he said: "In addition, I still have to try this new Taishou, I hope I can find the master, otherwise, he wants me to be an official, I don't want to!" ”
Talented people are arrogant, and Shangguan Wenruo's arrogance is a kind of calmness, as if he wants to be an examiner, just like a piece of cake.
