Yuan Shu rightfully entered Nanyang as Nanyang Taishou, and took over Nanyang with the tacit consent of several major families in Nanyang, and at the same time, the thirty-seven county commanders of the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang expressed their allegiance to Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu successfully controlled Nanyang without losing a single soldier.

However, a few months ago, Sun Jian went north to participate in the princes' discussion of the board of directors and killed the former Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi, and now Yuan Shu has served as the position of Nanyang Taishou, and Nanyang has been in an ownerless situation for a few months in between, although several major families in Nanyang have helped stabilize Nanyang, but there are still a lot of bandits in Nanyang County during this time.

Of course, these are not a problem for the current Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, he has many generals under his command, not to mention Ji Ling and Yu She, two brave generals, just say that the other Chen Lan, Lei Bo, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, Le Zhi, Liang Gang and others Although their abilities are not first-class, there is no problem in dealing with these bandits.

After taking control of Nanyang, the first thing Yuan Shu did was to order Chen Lan and Lei Bo, who were now in Luyang, to transport the four or five thousand volumes of books that Yuan Yao had collected in Luoyang City to Wancheng. Wancheng is the county seat of Nanyang, and Nanyang will be Yuan Shu's base camp next, so Yuan Shu will basically be in Wancheng, and at this time, transporting that book is a thing that must be done.

Four or five thousand volumes, even Yuan Shu, who was born in the Yuan clan in Runan, will inevitably find a way to put it under his nose, if so many books are not placed in a place where he can see them at any time, everyone will be worried, and four or five thousand volumes of books can already cause many people's eyes.

Moreover, under Yuan Yao's advice, Yuan Shu also understood that making these four or five thousand books into his own collection was far less effective than using these four or five thousand books as bait to lure more scholars to join his command.

It's just that Yuan Shu was born in a family, and he obviously has more trust in the ability of the children of the family, of course, this refers to the middle and low-level talents, the real top talents are actually from a family and the number of people from a poor family is about the same, and if there is a real top talent to invest in his command, then Yuan Shu will not care whether he is from a family or not.

Yuan Shu understood that once he released the news of these four or five thousand volumes, there would inevitably be many people who would come to his command, just for the books in his hands. However, these four or five thousand volumes of books were too important, and Yuan Shu was still considering whether to use these four or five thousand volumes to attract those scholars to join him.

Yuan Yao wanted to say that Yuan Shu's worries were really redundant, but Yuan Yao also knew that Yuan Shu was the only one under Yuan Shu's command who could make an idea about this matter, and although he was Yuan Shu's son, it was obvious that he could not make decisions for Yuan Shu in this matter. Yuan Yao could only use various methods to induce Yuan Shu to do this.

But fortunately, even if Yuan Shu doesn't use these books to recruit scholars now, as the son of the Runan Yuan family of Yuan Shu IV and the third duke, there is no shortage of middle and low-level scribes under him, as long as the news of Yuan Shu serving as Nanyang Taishou spreads for a period of time, there will be a steady stream of scholars to take refuge in Yuan Shu.

This is the biggest advantage that Yuan Shu can get as the concubine of the Yuan clan in Runan in this troubled world, unlike other princes who have a headache because of the lack of officials under their command, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have no shortage of middle and low-level scribes, because the aura bonus of the Yuan clan in Runan can make many scribes come to them.

But these people who come to take refuge are either children of the family, or they can be related to the children of the family, and after this development, most of Yuan Shu's subordinates are the sons of the family who are governing the side for Yuan Shu, which is not what Yuan Yao wants to see.

Yuan Yao is well aware of the harm of the family to a force, it is undeniable that once with the help of the family, it will be easy for a force to govern the sphere of influence under its command, but it also buries hidden dangers.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, and in order to minimize the small actions of the family under Yuan Shu's command, Yuan Yaocai got a large number of books from Luoyang City to attract those poor scholars to join Yuan Shu's command, in order to prevent the family under Yuan Shu's command from becoming dominant, so that the family under Yuan Shu's command can balance each other.

When the catastrophe comes, most of the children of the family consider the family rather than their own allegiance to the power, and the family has an incomprehensible desire to control the land and population, once the family grows, most of the fields will be secretly pocketed by the family, and then they will inevitably try their best to evade taxes.

But it is not advisable for the poor to be big, the children of the poor are all from a small background, and they often forget their own intentions after being in a high position, and the situation of corruption and bribery is more serious than that of the children of the family, for no other reason, just because these children of the poor family are from a small background, so they know the pain of poverty, and in order for their descendants to no longer suffer from poverty like themselves, they will try their best to gather wealth and leave a large amount of wealth enough to live a life of glory and wealth for future generations.

It is not a good thing for the poor family to become big or the family to become big, the best situation is that the cold family and the family check and balance each other, and only such a force can achieve a relative stability. Although this will make the Hanmen and the family fight endlessly, it is much better than what will inevitably happen after the Hanmen or the family grows bigger.

Although Yuan Shu has not yet made up his mind to use these four or five thousand volumes of books to recruit scholars from the Han family, Yuan Yao will find a way to make Yuan Shu make this decision, because it is a very necessary thing.

In addition to asking Chen Lan Lei Bo to escort the four or five thousand volumes of books to Wancheng, one of the things Yuan Shu also did was to let Ji Ling, the number one general under his command, come forward to take charge of the recruitment of troops.

After settling in Wancheng, Yuan Shu felt that the 18,000 soldiers and horses under his command were too few, and now he was sitting in Nanyang, the largest county in the world with a population of at least two million, Yuan Shu had the idea of expanding the army under his command.

After taking control of Nanyang, Yuan Shu also found that with his 18,000 soldiers and horses, it was more than enough to hold Nanyang, but if he wanted to expand his territory, it was far from enough.

Based on this consideration, Yuan Shu negotiated with several major families in Nanyang, and finally Ji Ling personally stepped forward to be responsible for recruiting recruits in the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang.
