Guo Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Cheng's stunned expression and smiled slightly, not to mention Zhang Cheng, it is difficult for everyone in this era to understand why Guo Zhiyuan made such a choice. Hunan is a very magical province, before the late Qing Dynasty, Hunan had almost no particularly famous celebrities, except for Cai Lun, Ouyang Xun, Zhou Dunyi, Wang Fuzhi and a few other people, lackluster, so that the Tang Dynasty finally had a Hunan man named Liu Yu in the Jinshi, all known as "unprecedented".

But after entering the late Qing Dynasty, Hunan suddenly began to shine on the stage of history, and heroes and celebrities from all walks of life sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, "a group of Hunan people, half of modern history", from Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Peng Yulin, Hu Linyi to Wei Yuan, Tan Sitong, Huang Xing, Cai Yi, ......, the talents that have emerged in Hunan in the past hundred years are enough to make the world jaw-dropping!

The pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom battle, the Hunan army played 14 governors, 13 governors, feudal marquis and worship the prime minister, the limelight is the same, "no Hunan does not become an army" deservedly, to the founding of the republic, the performance of the Hunan people is even more dazzling, the chairman needless to say, the top ten marshals Hunan people accounted for 3, the top ten generals accounted for 6 Hunan people, 57 generals Hunan people accounted for 19!

"Only Chu is talented, Yu Si is prosperous", Hunan has never lacked talents, nor lack of cultural heritage, just because the character of Hunan people "dare to be the first in the world" is really unflattering in the context of feudal society advocating Confucian etiquette, so it has been suppressed, and can not be shown on the stage, at this time Hunan is like a treasure buried in the ground, only need a chance to be discovered, as a traverser, Guo Zhiyuan naturally cannot let the pearl dust, must dig out the great treasure of Hunan's talents!

As for Guangxi, even in modern times, it seems to give people the impression that it has always been a backward province, especially under the dazzling light of his other brother province --- Guangdong, it is even more bleak, which is very similar to Hunan, nearly 2,000 years of history, Hunan has been suppressed by his two lake brothers--- Hubei, the center of Jingchu culture has always been in Hubei, but in modern times Hunan seized the opportunity to dominate the coquettish for a hundred years, while Guangxi seems to have been silent.

But if we ignore Guangxi because of this, it would be a big mistake, the combat effectiveness of the Guangxi people is actually very strong, if it were not for the Hunan native Zeng Guofan to stop the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Guangxi Hong Xiuquan, the Guangxi people may have to change history. Even in the Republic of China period, the Gui army led by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi was quite high in combat effectiveness among all warlords, and the largest victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression --- the Battle of Taierzhuang, which was fought by Li Zongren. Therefore, Guangxi is also a treasure of talents that has been ignored by the world, with the two treasures of Hunan and Guangxi, Guo Zhiyuan has the confidence to form a strong army that dominates the world, and has the confidence to turn Dongfan into a gathering place for talents in the world!

As long as there are talents, Guo Zhiyuan is not worried that Dongfan will not develop, but there is a problem here, Hunan people and Guangxi people have a common characteristic, which is not inferior! To put it seriously, it is born rebellious, although Guo Zhiyuan is confident that he can control the talents under him, but people's energy is limited, Guo Zhiyuan cannot use all his energy to guard against the rebellion of his subordinates, Guo Zhiyuan is not afraid of unruly talents under his subordinates, but if his subordinates are all a group of unruly people, Guo Zhiyuan should have a headache!

This is the reason why Guo Zhiyuan joined Shandong in it, as the hometown of Confucius, Shandong people have loyal blood in their veins, the way of Confucius and Mencius has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, there have been more than 400 emperors in Chinese history, but none of them are from Shandong Province! The word rebellion seems to have nothing to do with the people of Shandong. Perhaps because of the long-term influence of Confucian culture, Shandong people have developed a very loyal character, even in the modern army, the soldiers from Shandong are always the most assured of the commander, hard-working, hard-working, and never discounted in the execution of orders.

Shandong does not produce an emperor, but there are saints and princes and generals, not to mention the two saints of Confucius and Mencius, Sun Wu, Guan Zhong, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, etc., are all famous good generals and fierce generals, even if it is the controversial Song Jiang in the Water Margin, the reason why he always insists on accepting the ideal of Zhao'an is not unrelated to the kind of loyalty to the monarch in his bones as a Shandong person.

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan's subordinates need Hunan and Guangxi people who are unruly and rebellious, and they also need Shandong people who are loyal and can firmly carry out their orders, of course, this is not to say that the talents in other provinces are not excellent, but the cultural characteristics of the talents in these three provinces are particularly in line with Guo Zhiyuan's needs.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan can't help but look forward to what kind of waves will be set off in this era by combining talents from these three places with different cultural characteristics.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't say these thoughts to Zhang Cheng, and waved his hand to him: "In addition to recruiting talents, I also need you to buy grain, all kinds of crop seeds, all kinds of livestock, all kinds of farm tools and tools in various places, before Dongfan can achieve self-sufficiency, we can only buy these things, if it is purchased centrally, it will inevitably cause the price of these materials to rise, and it will also cause the dissatisfaction and attention of the imperial court, so try to disperse and purchase in batches, you don't have to worry about silver, I'll find a way!" ……”

Zhang Cheng was completely shocked by Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan was able to come up with such a huge immigration plan, and he thought about it so carefully, and all aspects were so thoughtful, which made Zhang Cheng more and more impressed by Guo Zhiyuan, such a talent is worth following!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's mood also became agitated, Guo Zhiyuan has formulated such a huge immigration plan, and he must show his strength and start a grand career next, and he, as the first backbone member to follow Guo Zhiyuan, must also work hard not to fall behind, keep up with Guo Zhiyuan's pace, and prove his value in the team, so Zhang Cheng neatly joined his legs and said loudly: "My lord, please rest assured, the villain will overcome all difficulties and do a good job of immigration. The villain is even coaxed and deceived, and he wants to get people to Dongfan! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan pointed at Zhang Cheng with his finger, and laughed: "I handed over this matter to you because I fancy your flexibility and ability to adapt to changes, but you have to pay attention to proportion, and you must not give someone a handle, Shen has always been that old fox is waiting to find my fork!" ……”

(PS: In this chapter, I have expressed some personal views on the cultural characteristics of Hunan, Guangxi, and Shandong, which are three particularly interesting provinces, but I must state that I do not have any intention of regional discrimination, any province has its own unique cultural characteristics, and any province has had its highlight moment in history, but in the process of my personal dealings with people in other places, I have a strong interest in the humanistic characteristics of these three provinces, so I express a little family opinion, do not spray if I don't like it.) ）
