The next day, Cai Yong called his most proud disciple Gu Yong to his house and introduced him to Guo Peng.

For Gu Yong, Guo Peng's memory is not deep, that is, the impression of a prime minister of Wu Guo.

Other specific things about Gu Yong are not clear, but being able to be introduced to him by Cai Yong alone shows that Cai Yong is indeed very satisfied with this disciple.

"Gu Yong has seen Guo Fujun."

Gu Yong's etiquette is in place, and he is not very regular at a glance, probably because he doesn't want Guo Peng, who is a famous man in the Central Plains, to look down on him.

"Yuan sighs, please get up."

Guo Peng stretched out his hand to help Gu Yong, and said, "Cai Gong has taken refuge in Jiangdong for ten years, thanks to the care of Jiangdong scholars, I want to thank you." ”

Guo Peng stood up and bowed to Gu Yong, who hurriedly returned the salute, saying that he didn't dare.

Then the two sat down, Cai Yong introduced Gu Yong's talent and academic status, and intentionally or unintentionally said that Gu Yong was an adult and was seeking to become a professional.

Guo Peng felt strange in his heart.

Jiangdong scholars must choose Jiangdong first, there are their forces and relationship networks, your family calls my family's children, my family calls your family's children, come to each other, divide all the official positions in Jiangdong, and maintain the Jiangdong people Jiangdong such a situation.

The four major families of Gulu, Zhu and Zhang seem to be famous for Zhu Jun, and they are very famous and have gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, but even so, Jiangdong people rarely go to the north to serve officials.

There are relatively profound factors of regional discrimination in this, and there is no reason to talk about this, and it will definitely exist.

The Central Plains was developed earlier than the south, and the culture flourished earlier, while the south was still a wild land in the early years, undeveloped, and the cultural economy was inferior to the north, so it was naturally discriminated against, and was even called the southern barbarians.

The central power of the Eastern Han government was basically held by the Kwantung scholars, that is, the central plains states, who had the advantage of convenient transportation.

There are very few people in the central government in remote states and counties, and it is easy to be squeezed out by the Kwantung people who hold together, and it is difficult to survive.

Over time, the scholars in the remote areas also formed a group in the locality, and if we did not go to the central government, you would not think of coming to seize our territory, thus forming such a barrier.

But as the bottom of the chain of discrimination against the scholars, ask them if they want to go to Luoyang to be an official in a culturally prosperous place, they must be willing, even if it is to be a Luopiao.

Many people have experienced such things.

For example, Jia Xu, as a Kansai scholar, has no relationship, he can't stand, so he can only return to his hometown in Kansai in a gloomy way, and Luo Piao failed.

People from economically developed areas come to remote small villages, it must be full of superiority, even if they are fleeing, as long as they have some ability, they are afraid that no one will send money?

They will only think that people are stupid and money comes quickly.

Jiangdong scholars must also want to go to the Central Plains to be officials, but under the situation of regional discrimination, they can rarely get such opportunities, not that there are none, but very few.

On the contrary, a large number of scholars from the Central Plains went to their territory to serve as high-ranking officials and leaders, and the Jiangdong people naturally accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.

So Guo Peng thought about it and felt that Cai Yong introduced Gu Yong to him alone, as if he had ulterior motives.

Thinking about it this way, Guo Peng felt that he was indeed very attractive to Jiangdong scholars.

I have a relationship in Luoyang, my father is the minister of Peiguo in Peiguo, and I am a Taishou in Youzhou, which is indeed a very advantage.

Of course, the last one should only be regarded as an investment point, and the real attraction is Lu Zhi, who is his teacher in Luoyang, and his father, who is Peixiang, in Peiguo.

So Guo Peng had a conversation with Gu Yong, and during the conversation, Guo Peng found that Gu Yong had learned a lot of knowledge about herdsmen in governing the place, and he had a good grasp of it.

Thinking that he can be a prime minister in the future, it is obviously not only because of his family background, but also because he himself has a high level of talent.

With a little experience, it is a cadre, and many people have experienced, they can do county orders, county guards, and even state assassins, and then rely on their family lineage to enter the central government, and when they are a little older, they can dominate national politics.

At this time, the people of Jiangdong did not know that the real chaos was coming soon, and they still felt that it was great to go out and become an official, and it was not a big deal to stay in the local area.

As a son of the top scholar clan in Jiangdong, Gu Yong obviously also wants to look at the whole Han Dynasty.

Although no matter now or in the future, Guo Peng's plan does not have anything to do with Jiangdong, Jiangdong cannot become his basic plate, will not work for him, and the development is not complete, and it is a wild place, so he does not attach importance to Jiangdong.

However, if you can get in touch with the Jiangdong Dashi clan, you may not encounter useful times in the future, such as making the Jiangdong Shiren his former officials, maybe it will be a very good start.

After talking with Gu Yong for a while and understanding his talents, Guo Peng thought about it carefully, considering the uncertain situation in the future, and also wanted to give Cai Yong face, so Guo Peng invited Gu Yong.

Jiangdong scholars should understand that it is not easy to go to the Central Plains to be an official, and it is very difficult to achieve it overnight.

Therefore, Guo Peng's invitation to Gu Yong was his own subordinate.

"Yuan Si's talent, I understand, no wonder everyone says that Jiangdong has talents, I don't know that Yuan Si has such talent, but there are officials?"

Gu Yong immediately cheered up.

"I have just learned, I don't dare to be rash and official, and I don't dare to delay national affairs, otherwise I will be responsible even if I die."

Gu Yong was polite.

"Don't take yourself lightly, with Yuan Si's talent, you should be able to benefit Li Shu, how can you delay a big event?"

Guo Peng smiled, and then changed the conversation: "Don't hide it, I was appointed by His Majesty as the Taishou of Shanggu County, Shanggu County is a border county, with few people and a wide range of land, and a lack of talents.

I want to call people from the county, I can't do it, I want to call people from this state, but it also takes a lot of time, but the county affairs must be done, Yuan Si has talent to learn, I am very happy, now I have a vacancy in the post of chief bookkeeper, I don't know if Yuan Si is willing to give in? ”

The main book of the county Taishou is the same as the Gongcao Governor's post, which belongs to the "Right Cao", and is the position of the cronies around the Taishou.

From the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the authority of the main book has also changed greatly, of course, the most important thing is that the main book follows the Taishou, which is the most important.

Gu Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood up and came to Guo Peng's side to bow deeply.

"Yongcai is shallow in learning, Meng Minggong will not give up, and he is willing to make contributions with Minggong."

"Good! Hahaha! I sighed and was overjoyed! Today, drink a thousand cups with Yuan Si! ”

Guo Peng laughed.

That night, Guo Peng and Gu Yong were drinking in Cai Yong's mansion, Cai Yong called his subordinates to play music and dance, and the three of them drank very happily together.

After three rounds of drinking, Guo Peng's belly was swollen and he went out to relieve himself, Gu Yong saw that Guo Peng was leaving temporarily, so he got up and walked to Cai Yong and saluted Cai Yong.

"Thank you for your kindness."
