Ma Liang must be humble words, but Zhuge Liang is still a little shocked, Ma Liang's talent, he has also seen it, he can become his friend, it is not bad to think about it, if he can recommend one or two, he wants to govern Jingnan, there is no one available, Zhuge Liang was very curious, and hurriedly asked about the situation of these people, Ma Liang did not say it explicitly, and said with a smile: "Zhuge Gong, I will write to them and let them come..."

"However, before Zhuge Gong goes to other counties, it is best to inspect the big clans here... There will definitely be a harvest..."Ma Liang said, Zhuge Liang nodded, and asked again: "What great family is there in Lingling County?" Ma Liang said with a smile: "There is only one big family, maybe Zhuge Gong also knows this big family...", hearing Ma Liang's words, Zhuge Liang thought about it seriously, but he really didn't think that there was any big family or famous people here.

Ma Liang said solemnly: "Does Zhuge know that Jingnan was originally the fief of the king of Changsha? ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and Ma Liang continued: "There is a big clan from the clan in Lingling County, but the relationship is extremely weak, and there is no title, but there are still many talents, Liu Ba and Liu Gong of Jimin Mansion in the middle of the court are from Lingling County...", hearing Ma Liang's words, Zhuge Liang then remembered, that Liu Ba, who is extremely capable in terms of economy, is not it from Jingnan?

He nodded, and then asked, "Then what outstanding children do they have?" ”

"Naturally, there is, there is a son called Liu Min, who is known as courageous, upright, and deeply admired by everyone, and there is a son called Liu Yong, who is young and intelligent, well-read, and very talented, and there is a son called Liu Xian, who is well-read and strong, and has allusions to Mingtong, which can be regarded as a talent...."Ma Liang said, but Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and the two chatted until late at night, and Zhuge Liang was ready to rest.

Sitting on the bed, Zhuge Liang couldn't fall asleep for a long time, the current situation is something he never thought of, from a long time ago, Zhuge Liang was used to doing everything by himself, everything was done by himself, this is not how much he desires power in his heart, it's just that he always feels that other people are not as good as him, he can do everything alone.

Before he met Jia Gong, he also thought like this, when he arrived in Jingnan, he didn't care about the local officials, let go of his hands to govern, as long as he was diligent, there was nothing that could not be done, but now, because of Jia Xu's words, he tried a new change for the first time, should he gather a group of capable ministers around him and change the situation in Jingnan through the power of everyone?

Zhuge Liang doesn't know whether this change is good or bad, in short, in the end, you still have to see the results, if you can achieve better results in this way, it shows that this path is correct... Zhuge Liang thought about it, and slowly fell asleep.

As for the next day, Zhuge Liang woke up, changed his clothes, and after washing, he came to the front yard, and just walked to the front yard, he saw Ma Liang leading three young people, chatting, seemingly waiting for himself, seeing Zhuge Liang walk out, Ma Liang hurriedly took them, and greeted them, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, Ma Liang is a good person, but he is too particular about these cumbersome etiquette.

"Get up, Ji Chang, you don't have to be like this..."Zhuge Liang persuaded, Ma Liang got up and looked at the young people around him, they also hurriedly followed the salute to meet him, and the older one said: "In Xia Liu Yong, the word Nanhe, I have seen Zhuge Gong." Zhuge Liang smiled and returned the salute with him, and the other person followed closely and said: "Under Liu Min, there is no word, please meet Zhuge Gong!" ”

This person is a little impulsive, the vitality of the young is fully revealed, Ma Liang said that this person has courage, extremely strong, today I saw it, the strong but I couldn't see it, however, the courage is there, the last one, of course, is Liu Xian, the word Shizong, he and Ma Liang in general, but also belongs to the kind of gentleman, good cultivation, Zhuge Liang has seen them, and sat in the guest room with them.

Everyone took their seats, and Ma Liang said: "Yesterday, Zhuge Gong said that he wanted to meet many capable ministers of my Lingling County, so I found them...", Ma Liang looked at them again and said: "Zhuge Gong came to Jingnan this time, it is the blessing of my Jingnan, and you should meet you as elders." The three of them got up and wanted to salute again, but Zhuge Liang stopped them and sat them down.

"You don't have to be like this... It doesn't have to be like this...", Zhuge Liang persuaded them, wiping the sweat from his forehead, he is still young, why should he come to see himself with an elder courtesy? Zhuge Liang cleared his throat, and then asked them about everything in Jingnan, it seemed as if he was looking for them to understand the local situation, but Ma Liang saw it clearly, Zhuge Liang still had a little bit of investigation in mind, he wanted to see these people, who might take on important responsibilities.

Everyone chatted, Liu Yong spoke less, not restrained, but more calm, Zhuge Liang asked, he just answered, Zhuge Liang didn't ask, he didn't show off, Liu Min is different, this one seems very heroic, a little ranger, Zhuge Liang's inquiry, but can still answer, as for Liu Xian, this is indeed well-read, extraordinary, and the most outstanding of the three.

But the strange thing is that Zhuge Liang values Liu Yong the most, this person is calm, can be his good assistant, talked for a long time, Zhuge Liang then had the idea of recruiting the three of them, after he spoke, Liu Yong and Liu Xian did not answer, but Liu Min was the first to speak, he said excitedly: "Thank you Zhuge Gong, thank you Zhuge and other brothers, wait for this time for a long time.. Alas..."

He sighed and said with some grievances: "Zhuge Gong doesn't know, originally, the three of us were ready to go to Luoyang and prepare to participate in the assessment, but I didn't expect that, when we were about to pass, we heard a bad news... Ahem, in fact, it's not bad news, our brother Liu Ba served as an important minister of the temple, but for some reason, he broke up with His Majesty and became a real clan... So do we..."

"The children of the clan must get the permission of the sect before they can be assessed... We are not familiar with Zongzheng again..."Liu Min almost cried, the three of them, after reading books for more than ten years, were about to participate in the assessment, and inexplicably became the children of the clan... Why is it so unlucky???

Zhuge Liang chuckled and looked at Liu Yong and Liu Xian, Liu Yong and Liu Xian got up at the same time, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and said: "Zhuge Gong attaches so much importance to us, we are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Zhuge Liang smiled, let the three of them sit down too, talked for a long time, and then let them go home, everyone was about to leave, but Liu Min hesitated a little, hesitated for a moment, he looked at Zhuge Liang, and said: "Zhuge Gong, I have a relative, who is also a great sage..."

"However, no one values him, and now he is in Lingling County..."

Hearing Liu Min's words, Ma Liang thought for a moment, as if he remembered something, frowned unhappily, out of self-cultivation, did not open his mouth to reprimand, Zhuge Liang heard this, nodded, and asked, "What is that person calling?" ”

"Jiang Wan, the word Gongyan, his fame has spread throughout Jingnan..."Liu Min praised him, looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked: "Zhuge Gong, shall I bring him to see you?" I'm not like this because of personal feelings, he really has talent, and his talent is definitely beyond ours...", Zhuge Liang nodded, did not refuse, Liu Min laughed at this time, bowed to Zhuge Liang again, and then left.

After they left, Ma Liang said, "Zhuge Gong shouldn't have agreed to Liu Min. ”

"Oh? Jiang Wan is an unsuccessful? ”

"That's not it, he does have some talents, but it's a pity, this person always thinks of himself as high, thinks that no one understands his talents, gives up on himself, drinks all day long, and is overwhelmed!!" , Ma Liang commented, Zhuge Liang heard about it, but he was a little curious in his heart, but most of the talented people will have some eccentric temperament, and he can be famous in the four counties with his talents, which seems to be extraordinary...

"Ji Chang, how did your friends reply?"

"Zhuge Gong, they haven't replied yet, they should be on the way here..."

"Oh? Are you so sure? ”

"Of course, Jingzhou has waited for decades before looking forward to a Zhuge Gong..."

Zhuge Liang did not waste time, after ordering the affairs of Lingling County, he rushed directly to other counties, he came this time, for the entire Jingnan, not for Lingling County, as Ma Liang said, when Zhuge Liang arrived in other counties, he found a huge gap between them and Ma Liang, these people, but they can't be said to be mediocre and incompetent, but, compared to Ma Liang, they are too ordinary...

Since they don't know the local situation, and they don't have the courage to change this, Zhuge Liang is already a little frightened, he has already thought about it, if he does it alone according to his own ideas, what kind of obstruction will these officials cause to themselves, and their own decrees, can they complete it? Zhuge Liang thought in his heart, but he also admired Jia Gonglai more and more.

It took nearly half a month for Zhuge Liang to complete the inspection of Jingnan, and probably knew the situation here, the officials in Jingnan were firmly remembered by Zhuge Liang, and they were also divided into two parts, which can be reused, and those who can go home to cultivate the fields, Jingzhou has a lot of officials, who are good, but they have been excluded and have not been reused, Zhuge Liang also remembered them.

When he returned to Lingling County.

When they saw Zhuge Liang, everyone's eyes were different, some admired, some doubted, Ma Liang introduced them, and they also met Zhuge Liang one by one, including Jiangxia Fei Yi, the word Wenwei, the Yiyang person Deng Zhi, the word Bo Miao, the Xiangyang person Xiang Lang, the word Juda, and his nephew Xiang Pet.

Yang Yi, a native of Xiangyang, is known as Weigong, and several of Ma Liang's siblings.

When everyone entered the guest room and began to talk, Zhuge Liang was pleasantly surprised, Ma Liang called so many people, Zhuge Liang was still a little unhappy in his heart, and felt that Ma Liang had a personal relationship, so he specially called these relatives and friends, and even his villagers, but now, Zhuge Liang was surprised to find that these people are not ordinary people, most of them have some talents, some can be the lord of a county, and some are enough to take over Ma Liang's current position.

Looking at this large number of capable ministers discussing how to govern Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang did not speak, but listened carefully to their plans, many plans that even Zhuge Liang did not think of, were proposed by them, and were vetoed by themselves, and the negotiations gradually became intense, even Ma Liang couldn't sit still and joined them in the discussion.

Zhuge Liang listened to their thoughts and smiled.

Jia Gong, thank you!!
