Chapter 1 Preparing to Go

Gongsun Kang also gave the meticulous workers a list of talents, all of which were the fierce generals of the opposition army who had not yet been born in their memory, indicating the areas where they might be located. Ask the craftsmen to look carefully in the local area. Don't make a noise when you find it, just report the situation.

Gongsun Kang decided to go out and harvest a group of talents. If you can bring it back, you can bring it back, and you can kidnap it. If you can't tie it up, kill it, and you can't use it for the opponent, it's the enemy.

Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish; It is better for me to bear the people of the world than for the people of the world to bear me.

In 188 AD, the year before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. 18 When the princes of the 18th Road had not yet raised an army against Dong, it was not even the time of the princes.

Gongsun Kang took the opportunity to go out of Liaodong and began a journey to find talents.

In this era, there is no fame, and it is difficult to recruit talents if you are not from a famous family. The so-called: self-proclaimed people, mud cows into the river.

But Gongsun Kang has a knife in his hand, the so-called: power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

Only those who are not convinced will be tied back first and put under house arrest, as long as they do not commit suicide. In a few years, let them look at the development of Liaodong and compare it with the warlord melee in the Central Plains. Anyone who understands knows how to choose.

As for those who commit suicide, they are stubborn and don't know how to be flexible, is that still a talent?

In this era, the family has a way to protect itself. Without him, divide the family. It's about placing bets separately.

For example: the three Zhuge brothers. Zhuge Jin is in Wu, Zhuge Liang is in Shu, and Zhuge is in Wei.

There are many similar families. A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family. Do you really think that the family does not know how to be flexible? Eating the old is not good? Once they see the general trend clearly, they run faster than rabbits.

As for the discrediting of posterity? That's not a problem. Isn't there a saying: history is written by the victors. You don't see even the Manchu Dynasty of Yangzhou for ten days and Jiading three massacres, there are people who sing praises and worship virtues, and they are called saints.

Everything was ready, Gongsun Kang went to see Gongsun Du and wanted to talk openly and honestly with his father.

"Father, last night the white-bearded immortal gave his son another hint "The god stick has come out of the mountain again."

"My son said in detail" Gongsun Du has become accustomed to it, and he decided to wait for himself to become the Taipuncy of Liaodong, and also create some auspicious rui to deceive the people and stabilize his rule.

"Immortal language: In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), my father was recommended by fellow villager Xu Rong and was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong." Gongsun Kang's words were astonishing.

This is a big mistake. Who is Dong Zhuo? However, how can Hedong Taishouer have the right to appoint his father? The old fox expressed disbelief.

"The sixth year of Zhongping is next year. Please be clear-hearted. Yes or no, we will find out next year. "The little fox is very confident.

"It's okay," the old fox was very indifferent.

"Even if Dong Zhuo doesn't want it, as long as the world is in chaos, my father should take it for himself." Gongsun Kang said that this is the feasible way.

"The big husband should be like this" Gongsun Du agreed, and the big husband should be like this. What I want, I just take it, regardless of whether you agree with it or not.

"At present, please ask my father to contact Uncle Xu more and make various preparations in advance." Another feasible suggestion.

"My son is right" Look at my son, he is really talented.

"In addition, after Dong Zhuo, the world is in chaos, and the heroes are vying for hegemony and competing for the Central Plains." Another shocking revelation.

"My son is cautious," said the old fox, and the little heart was a little unbearable.

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and his father is not a person who is willing to be lonely, right?" The little fox looked at the old fox.

Gongsun Du is also ambitious. In the past year, I have seen the strength of Gongsun Kang. and hid it from him no more. "The gods can say, how far can my grandson's family go?"

"At least he is the king of Liaodong, but he has been in Liaodong for more than 50 years." This is the original trajectory in history, and even if it is kept, it can be held for 50 years.

"Time is too short," the old fox sighed, a little greedy.

"I want to travel far away and seek talents. Ask your father to be prepared to host talents. "That's the purpose of seeing my father today.

"My grandson was born as a small official, and now he is Bai Ding. Where will there be people who are willing to come to Ran? "The old fox is a little fox.

"Clever and heroic. Children have their own opinions. Gongsun Kang exposed his ruthless nature.

Gongsun Du touched his beard and laughed: "My son has grown up!" You are also my son, otherwise I will kill him. ”

Gongsun Kang also smiled, not afraid at all, "If it weren't for his father, would his son say these things to him?" ”

"Good, good, good! Although my son does it, the family has his own father to take care of everything. ”

"There is another matter, please ask my father to send his subordinates to buy officials to be county commanders in the coastal counties of Donglai County."

"Why?"

"There are a lot of advantages. The first is to establish a bridgehead to establish a dock port for us to land in Qingzhou in the future. The second is to accept displaced people from various states in the Central Plains to come to Liaodong to reclaim the famine. My Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many different races, so we must increase the proportion of the Han population, otherwise the host and guest will be different, and there will be a great disaster. Third, it is necessary to establish intelligence channels so that we can keep abreast of the situation in the Central Plains. Fourth, it can sell goods and communicate with the Central Plains. Gongsun Kang talked eloquently.

"It makes sense, I'll send Mr. Yang there."

"It must be completed this year, and next year the world will be in chaos, and there will be no more opportunities to buy officials." Emperor Ling will die next year, and no one will sell him if he wants to buy an official.

Gongsun Du understood Gongsun Kang's hint, and his heart shook. "Okay, I'll send Yang Yi to Luoyang immediately."

There is another point that Gongsun Kang did not say, and that is cotton. You can't grow cotton in Liaodong. But in Qingzhou, that is, Shandong, it can be planted. So he secretly instructed Yang Yi to bribe the person in charge of Shanglin Yuan with a lot of money after arriving in Luoyang to buy some cotton seeds to be planted in Qingzhou.
