Yuan Shu's first solicitation of Hu Zhao was rejected by Hu Zhao, but Yuan Shu did not become angry or give up because of this.

Who is Hu Zhao? He was a well-known man from far and near, and it is understandable that such a person has a bit of a temper. Xun Yue, Xun Yan, and Chen Zhong recruited by Yuan Shu in Yingchuan this time all admired Hu Zhao, so even if Hu Zhao rejected him, Yuan Shu would not give up easily.

However, how to persuade Hu Zhao to let Hu Zhao come to serve under him is a matter that makes Yuan Shu a little distressed. This time I went to recruit Hu Zhao, Yuan Shu also met Hu Zhao, and from the conversation with Hu Zhao, Yuan Shu found that this Hu Zhao did not seem to be a person who was keen on fame and fortune. In Yuan Shu's impression, Hu Zhao seemed to want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, study scriptures, and concentrate on learning.

It stands to reason that Yuan Shu, such a person, is unlikely to take him under his command, but if he retreats like this, Hu Zhao is a little unwilling.

After seeing Yuan Shu's gloomy appearance all day long, Yuan Yao suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Shu.

"Father is worried about how to recruit Mr. Kong Ming?"

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao, who jumped in front of him, after all, he was his own son, and he didn't hide it, and said: "Indeed, Hu Kongming is dedicated to studying, and it is not easy to take him under his command." ”

Yuan Yao said with a smile at this time: "The child has a way, and he must let Hu Zhao come to serve under his father. ”

"Oh, what's the solution?" Yuan Shu also knew that his son had always been smart, and he looked at the problem in a different direction from ordinary people, maybe there was really any way to recruit Hu Zhao.

Yuan Yao knew that this was the time for him to show himself in front of Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu paid some attention to Yuan Yao because of Yuan Yao's performance in the past year, but to be honest, Yuan Yao was still just a child in Yuan Shu's heart, and he still needed to sharpen himself if he wanted to shoulder the heavy responsibility. That's why Yuan Shu gave Yuan Yao a position of lieutenant and asked Yuan Yao to go to the army to exercise.

Heavy literature in prosperous times, heavy military in troubled times.

When the troubled times come, only the military power is the real power, whose army is strong, whose fist is bigger, and the bigger the fist, the greater the right to speak. With Yuan Shu's vision and insight, he can naturally see this, so Yuan Shu wants to let Yuan Yao enter the army to hone it.

Only those who have really experienced the baptism of iron and blood in the army can better control the army under their command, and a general who has not been a soldier is definitely not a good general.

Of course, it's not that no one has become a general as soon as he comes and is very good, but this is a person with good talent, and it is so annoying. If you don't have that kind of talent, don't think about that kind of thing.

Yuan Shu also took great pains to make Yuan Yao grow up quickly. However, Yuan Yao's performance after taking over the position of lieutenant was a bit unexpected by Yuan Shu.

In Yuan Shu's thoughts, after Yuan Yao became a lieutenant, he didn't say that he would personally train his descendants, but he should also make a training plan, but after Yuan Yao became a captain, he handed over all the training staff of the soldiers to Wei Yan and Liao Hua, and as for those official documents, Huang Yi was handling them, and Yuan Yao basically didn't care about anything.

But Yuan Yao's statement also made Yuan Shu a little speechless. In Yuan Yao's view, he defines himself as handsome, not general. The handsome, sitting in the center, commanding the three armies, is the head of an army; Generals, charging into battle, are the sharp knives of an army.

Yuan Yao has never been a person who likes to charge into battle, even if one day Yuan Yao has the force that can shock the world, but unless it is necessary, Yuan Yao will not use force to seek victory.

In Yuan Yao's view, although he is only a captain, he is also a superior, and what he needs to do is to put the right people in the right positions, which is enough. On military training, Yuan Yao asked himself that he was not as good as Liao Hua and Wei Yan, and Yuan Yao also asked himself that he was not as good as Huang Yi. With so many suitable people at your disposal, why bother to handle these matters yourself.

Yuan Yao's attitude made Yuan Shu a little speechless, but he had to admit that what Yuan Yao said was reasonable, so Yuan Shu did not impose his own ideas on Yuan Yao, but was a little laissez-faire to Yuan Yao, wanting to see what Yuan Yao could do in the end. Anyway, now Yuan Yao is only thirteen years old, even if he goes crooked, he will be able to grow back.

And Yuan Shu also knew that Yuan Yao had some of his own ideas, although these ideas were not quite the same as his previous cognition in Yuan Shu's opinion, but Yuan Shu also admitted that Yuan Yao's ideas were very reasonable.

Yuan Yao looked at Yuan Shu at this time and said slowly: "Father, at the beginning of the year, we got a lot of books from Luoyang City, and now we should be in Nanyang, I think such a temptation Hu Zhao should not be able to resist." ”

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, he still has such a big killing weapon in his hand, how can he forget it. With the collection of books that Yuan Yao got back from Luoyang City, it was of great benefit to recruit scribes like Hu Zhao, why did he forget it?

Seeing Yuan Shu's expression, Yuan Yao already understood that Yuan Shu had figured it out. With the collection of books he got back from Luoyang City, although the number is less than one percent of the Dongguan collection, but with these things, it can be said that it is invincible to attract scholars.

"Father, the child has another idea that he hopes his father will adopt."

"What do you think, I'll hear it." got the hope of recruiting Hu Zhao from Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu was in a good mood, and his gaze at Yuan Yao was even softer.

"Father, the child wondered, can we gather all the books in our hands in one place, and then let all the scholars in the world borrow these books there."

Like a thunderous explosion, Yuan Yao's words set off a storm in Yuan Shu's mind.

A pair of eyes were as sharp as lightning, shooting towards Yuan Yao: "Yao'er, do you know that if this is the case, you and I, father and son, will both stand on the opposite side of the world's families, and at that time it can be said that everyone shouted and beaten." ”

Yuan Yao naturally knew that what Yuan Shu said was not alarmist, but something that could happen.

What the family values most is their own family heritage, and what can the family rely on to maintain their current status? Relying on their mastery of cultural knowledge, in this era of literacy rate of one percent, families with a large number of scholars are undoubtedly more dominant.

Once the number of scholars in the poor family increases, it will threaten the status of the family, which is not what the family wants to see.
