Chapter Ninety-One: Seeking Talent

Chen Lin took Jin Liang's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to write an article advocating the benefits of Hu Bed. Jin Liang, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, personally sharpened the ink for him, and Chen Lin was more and more moved when he saw this.

Chen Lin stood in front of Jin Liang's desk, and was about to write an article, when he suddenly saw Jin Liang's blank paper full of names.

Chen Lin saw that his name ranked first among the scribes, and the following were: Kong Rong, Wang Can, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, Liu Zhen, At this time, Wang Can, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, Liu Zhen, and several people are not well known, but Kong Rong has become famous all over the world, and I am afraid that no one in the world will think that Chen Lin's literary talent is higher than Kong Rong, but in Jin Liang's ranking, Chen Lin is above Kong Rong. Chen Lin couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Jin Liang's discerning appreciation again.

Chen Lin continued to look at it, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, Jin Liang's list of talents, but all of the people he knew, none of them were mediocre talents, most of them were some amazing talents who were not known to the world, as for those who had a vain reputation for vegetarian corpses, none of them could enter this list.

Chen Lin first looked at the talents in Jizhou, Wen Youtian Feng, Fu Zhi, and Judge, Wu Zhang He, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, Chen Lin moved from Guangling, Xuzhou to Yecheng, Jizhou for many years, and has heard a little about the above people, knowing that although they are not famous, they have the strategy of Anbang, and Wu has the courage to set the country.

Chen Lin remembered his original plan, and unconsciously laughed at himself: "Chen Lin originally planned to recommend these Jizhou Junjie to the lord, but he didn't expect the lord to find out about them a long time ago. ”

Chen Lin glanced at the talents in other states and counties, but he was a little suspicious in his heart: "I don't know where the lord knows about these many heroes in the world?" I remember that the general had never had such a complete list, not even twenty percent. ”

Jin Liang saw Chen Lin's suspicious appearance, and immediately decided to tell a big lie. Although he lied countless times in his life. But this time the lie is the closest to the truth.

Jin Liang smiled: "Kong Zhang." You should have heard of the Emperor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor? ”

The son of Chen Lin's family is also the seventh son of Jian'an, and he is very understanding of the ancient sages.

Chen Lin nodded and said, "Of course I know, do you want to tell me what is the connection between these people and the human emperor?" ”

As soon as Chen Lin said such a thing, he immediately regretted it, how could he ask such a rude question to the lord.

Jin Liang only smiled slightly: "I, Jin Liang, mostly moved in Jingzhou before I was ten years old, and in addition, I went to Jizhou to collect yellow turbans, as for Yuzhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places, I have never been there." How do you know what kind of talent is there? Speaking of this, Jin Liang pointed to the sky, with a mysterious expression: "This is given by the Emperor of People!" Not only that, but the Emperor also passed on more mysterious things to me. Of course, there are some things that we can't leak too much, and you also know that heaven can't be leaked. Hahaha! ”

Since the Yin Shang period, people have called the supreme god the Emperor of Heaven, and in myths and legends, the Emperor of Man is an all-powerful god who dominates the heavens, the earth, and the netherworld. The emperors of the Zhou Dynasty and later generations took advantage of the folk worship of the emperor, saying that they were the sons of the Emperor of Heaven and were mandated by Heaven. Therefore, he is called the Son of Heaven. Therefore, even though Chen Lin has always adhered to the Confucian principle of "the child does not speak, the ghost is chaotic and the god is chaotic". He scoffed at the words of the gods, and did not dare to deny the existence of the human emperor or the emperor of heaven.

Chen Lin was surprised that Jin Liang claimed to be given by the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven, but in this way, where did the Emperor Liu Han who had always claimed to be the son of the Emperor of Heaven put in? As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Liu Han only had Liu Bang and Liu Xiu at the time of the founding of the country, as if he was a little blessed by the Emperor of Heaven, and the other emperors died in infancy, and those who survived have not been able to get rid of the shadow of eunuchs and relatives, to be honest, their words and deeds have no majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Lin was stunned and didn't dare to think about it. After a long while, Chen Lin stammered and asked, "Lord, what else do you have to do as supporting evidence, Lin can't believe it?" ”

Jin Liang took out a blank piece of paper on the desk, splashed ink on it, and after a while, a rough map of the world appeared in front of Chen Lin.

Jin Liang pointed to the map: "I believe you, I have other big Han people, I never knew how big the world we live in will be. The Emperor of Heaven told me that our Han land is only so large, and to the east is the boundless sea, and a group of wild people live on a group of islands in the sea, forming a loose country called Dongying; There is a large desert here in the Western Regions, and beyond the desert is a large plain, not less than the territory of my Han Dynasty, called Europa, and there is a huge empire on it, known as the Roman Empire, which we call Great Qin, and its national strength is probably above my Han Dynasty; To the south is the southeastern peninsula, and above it is a group of barbarians who do not obey the religion, and further south is an ocean, above which is a small island, on which some savages live; To the north is the vast grassland occupied by Xianbei, and to the north of the grassland is the endless snowy plateau. ”

Chen Lin was dumbfounded, just staring blankly at the map. For Daqin, he knew that when the Western Regions Protector Banchao sent his subordinate Gan Ying to Daqin to trade, if there was no Sabbath people to interfere with it, maybe Dahan and Daqin had reached a trade contract. But most other places are rare places for Han people, if it weren't for the human emperor to tell him, how would Jin Liang know?

Jin Liang waited for Chen Lin to slow down for a while, and then pointed to the South American continent: "There is a large group of brown-red-skinned savages living here, known as the Mayans, they have three kinds of crops there, and the yield per mu is very high, one is called sweet potato, which is drought and barren, can be planted in barren land and mountains, and can survive without too much irrigation, its rhizomes can be eaten, and it tastes sweet and soft after cooking, and the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties; One is called potato, which is also planted in the ground, feeding on rhizomes, which is soft and delicious to eat after cooking, and the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties; The other is called corn, which is the same as the corn sowing method we have here, but the ears that bear on it are very thick and large, and the taste is also very good, and it is suitable for dryland planting, without too much watering, and the yield per mu can reach 1,000 catties. If I send people to this continent to find these three crops, then there will be no hungry people under the rule of our Han Dynasty, the warehouse will know the etiquette, and there will be no more thieves such as yellow turban thieves in the world, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength of my Han Dynasty will definitely flourish. ”

Speaking of which, Jin Liang was full of passion, and within a few days of coming. He has already figured out the mission he wore this time: "When the time comes, expand the sea frontier to the east and annex Dongying." Turn the East China Sea into the inland sea of my great man; Expand westward to the Western Regions. Take complete control of the silk gold road under the rule of my Han Dynasty, and make a lot of gold coins from the Roman Empire when the time comes; In the south, the southeast archipelago and the Indonesian archipelago are all occupied, turning the South China Sea into the inland sea of our Han dynasty; Eliminate Xianbei in the north, immigrate from Tuntian, and turn this prairie into a horse ranch for my Han Dynasty, such a great achievement, can it be compared to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu?! Kong Zhang, would you like to help me?! ”

Chen Lin stretched out his hand and rubbed his already stiff face: "Lord." If it weren't for the generous gift of the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor, Chen Lin believed that no one under the rule of the Han Dynasty would have such insight. The lord has this ambition, and Chen Lin admires it very much. It's just that Chen Lin doesn't know how to help the lord? ”

Jin Liang picked up two pieces of white paper and connected them, and wrote four words "China Tianbao" on the top of one of them, and when he saw Chen Lin's puzzled appearance again, he explained: "There is such a thing in the upper realm, called a newspaper. The upper realm greatly improved the texture and speed of the paper by improving papermaking, and printed the handwriting on it through something called printing. You don't have to write with a brush at all, just typeset up. Thousands of copies of the same content will soon be printed. As you can imagine. If we have improved papermaking, we have learned the printing technique. We will be able to print a large number of newspapers, publish your articles on them, and distribute them to every inch of land under the rule of the Han Dynasty. According to the words of the Upper Realm, what you control is the power of propaganda and entertainment. As long as your article is exquisite, you can really resist thousands of troops, and if the Han Dynasty is peaceful in the future, you should be the first merit. ” It's just that now he doesn't want to be too public, just let Chen Lin believe it, and then the recruitment plan, he will carry out it according to the ordinary model, and the follow-up strengthening will let Chen Lin, who is very eloquent and eloquent, complete it for himself.

Chen Lin heard Jin Liang say this, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, everyone in the world can read his own article, and then he really became famous all over the world, and now his article is only circulated among some scholars, compared with the two, Chen Lin's vanity suddenly burst, and he bowed his head to Jin Liang again: "Thanks to the wisdom and martial arts of the lord, the emperor is gifted to the lord, Chen Lin is willing to follow the lord and achieve the foundation of eternal perseverance." ”

Jin Liang laughed loudly and helped Chen Lin up: "With Kong Zhang's help, I will be like a tiger with wings." Now there's something extraordinary for you to do. As for the article just now, I'll write it later. ”

Subsequently, Jin Liang dictated and Chen Lin polished his pen, and wrote a recruitment letter with different contents according to the different personalities, hobbies, talents, and opportunities of each virtuous person, instead of writing "Look at your talent, reward you for food, and come and do things for the government." ”

Chen Lin is really a great writer, after Jin Liang slightly mentioned, splashed ink, waved the pen like flying, and wrote ten thousand words. The passion flies between the lines, and Jin Liang's feelings of worrying about the country and the people and the prospect of governing the world are written thoroughly, if it is not a hard-minded person, I am afraid that after reading his letter, he immediately packed his bags and went to Jin Liang.

However, Jin Liangcai also knew very well in his heart that none of these virtuous talents in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was a fuel-efficient lamp, although most of them kept saying benevolence, righteousness, benevolence and righteousness, the abacus of interests in their hearts could be sounded, so Jin Liangcai gave them a promise to complement each other's talents. For example, in the letter to Gan Ning, he promised to give him the title of captain, and if he achieved great success, General Fubo Zhonglang and General Hengjiang would not be a problem.

Both of them were immersed in the joy of achieving great things, and they forgot about lunch and wrote until the evening, when they were reminded to have dinner by Qin Yi, the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and then continued to write a recruitment letter.

Subsequently, Jin Liang followed Cao Cao's example and dictated the order to seek merit, to the effect that "since ancient times, how can there be a virtuous minister who has not been assisted by talented people with him?" When they get talent, they often don't go out of the alley, is this an occasional fluke? No! It's just that the people in power are going to ask for it! Today, far from being settled, is the most urgent time to seek talent. If it must be used by the so-called filial piety and celebrities, then Guan Zhong must not be reused, how can Qi Huan Gong dominate the world! If it weren't for the prison guard Xiao He, the arrester Fan Xu, the scribe Cao Shen, the executioner Xiahou Ying, and the drummer Zhou Bozhizhu, how could Gaozu achieve the great cause of the Han Dynasty? Now there are no people in the world who wear coarse clothes and have real talents like Jiang Ziya who fish by the Weishui? Isn't there someone like Chen Ping who has been stigmatized as 'stealing his sister-in-law and receiving money' and hasn't met Wei Wuzhi? You have to help me find those who are buried in a low position, and recommend them as long as they are talented, so that we can appoint them. Those who feel buried are here. I hope you can nominate yourself like Mao Sui. As long as you have talent. No matter what kind of talent you have, even if you are like Xinlingjun's rooster and dog thief, I, Jin Liang, can find a suitable place for you to shine and become famous all over the world. ”

Jin Liang's dictation only expresses the meaning of "thirsty for talents, meritocracy, and gathering the world's heroes for my use", if the world's talents are infected by the edict, Chen Lin's rhetoric is also needed. After Chen Lin finished writing, Jin Liang read it and found that it could touch the hearts of talents more than Cao Cao's original text. Maybe this recruitment order and a special recruitment letter can bring a few talents to yourself. Jin Liang also ordered the scribes below to copy hundreds of copies of the order for meritocracy and keep it for great use.

Early the next morning, Jin Liang sent people to inquire about the Yulin Army, the Huben Army, and the Xiyuan Army in Luoyang City, and recruited the soldiers from Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places to Xiaopingjin, and found the soldiers from the above states in the Bingzhou Army. The reason why it was not submitted to Zhou and Jingzhou was because the talents in the above three places were all within Jin Liang's sphere of influence, and Jin Liang wanted to recruit them in person.

Jin Liang stood on the high platform and shouted: "Where are the soldiers of Yuzhou? ”

More than 30 soldiers from Yuzhou stood up, with the simplicity and simplicity of Henan people on their faces, because Yuzhou was close to Luoyang. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, they had confident and proud expressions on their expressions, and it seemed that the Liu Han court was still a strong man and a big man in the eyes of these ordinary people who had received Liu Han's favor or glory.

Jin Liang took out a stack of recruitment letters: "I want to recruit your talents in Yuzhou." There are Xu Chu, Lu Fan, Lu Qian, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Liu Fu, some of them are not famous, you have to do your best to find them, submit my letters, convey my thirst for talent, if they are not willing to follow you, if you can force them to come, you can force them to come, if you don't want to come, don't force them to come. ”

In response to Xu Chu, Chen Dao, and Wei Yan, Lu Bu asked Chen Lin to praise their martial arts in his letters, secretly thinking that such a request as a powerful minister should not be refused. In the following time, Jin Liang gave the Xuzhou soldiers the task of recruiting Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong. As for one of the eight hussars in the future, Zang Ba, who has the talent of a general, is still attached to Tao Qian, and it is not easy to poach people from that old horseman. Although she stayed up all night, Chen Lin was still in good spirits, standing aside and watching Jin Liang assign tasks.

Suddenly, Chen Lin felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jin Liang: "Lord, why don't you send someone to recruit Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son?" The father and son of the Chen family are both military and political talents, and they can govern the army on the horse and herdsmen on the horse. Chen Lin was originally a native of Guangling, Xuzhou, Guangling is not far from Xiapi Huaipu, where Chen Qi's father and son live, as a distant clan, Chen Lin knows the ability of Chen Qi's father and son, and he saw that Jin Liang's talent book has the names of these two people, but he wonders why Jin Liang didn't tell the Xuzhou soldiers that he wanted to recruit these two people.

Of course, Jin Liang knew the talents of these two, but Liu Bei didn't have a suitable candidate under him, so he ......! Of course, this can't be told to Chen Lin. I had to excuse myself: "Chen Qi is the grandson of Chen Qian, the Taishou of the Guanghan Dynasty, the nephew of Chen Qiu, the former minister of Peiguo, and a famous scholar in Xuzhou. In that case, it's better not to look for yourself. ”

Chen Lin knew that Jin Liang had been rejected by Xun Yu and Xun You, and he was hesitant to come to Jin Liang, but just after talking to Jin Liang, he couldn't help but despise the uncle and nephew of the Xun family who were watching people in the crack of the door. Chen Lin was afraid that Jin Liang would have a prejudice against the children of the family, and from then on, he was afraid that he would only recruit talents from the poor family and reject the talents of the family, but the talents of the family accounted for too much of the world's talents.

"The lord is so wrong! The uncles and nephews of the Xun family refused to be recruited by the lord, because they were confined to secular prejudices and had no eyes, and how could other talents in the world be like them. The lord thinks that he is from a poor family, and he is afraid that there is no family with the same children, but the identity of the lord is as low as that of Gaozu (Liu Bang), before Gaozu made a career, but a pavilion chief, his father is a farmer without a name, and the identity of those children of the family is as high as Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang, Zhang Lianggui is the son of Korea, but he also defected to Gaozu and assisted Gaozu to achieve a great cause. ”

Jin Liang listened to the examples of Liu Bang and Zhang Liang cited by Chen Lin, and felt that he was clear. Prior to this, although he wrote a recruitment letter with many family talents, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, and he didn't expect that he would be able to recruit a talent from that background, listening to Chen Lin's words, Jin Liang suddenly had confidence, since the gangster Liu Bang had someone to defect, did he, the general of Zhennan, still need to worry about no one to vote?

Chen Lin continued: "Don't think that the talents of the poor family must defect to the lord of the poor family, and the talents of the family must defect to the lord of the family. After Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu back then, was the general of Chu State, Xiang Yan, a high-ranking family, but most of the people who defected to him were children of the poor family; The general He Jin was born as a butcher, but he was in a high position, and the talents of the family also came. The main public business recruits talents, the children of the Han family may not come, the children of the family may not come, whether they come or not, it all depends on the lord, if the lord can bring them enough benefits, no one will go. There will definitely be people who are confined to the view of the door and refuse to come, but as the lord said, the lord will have his heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, those people are confused, and they don't vote when they meet the lord, they can only cast in the dark. ”

Jin Liang nodded: "What Kong Zhang said is extremely true, the so-called hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, only I can make heroes useful, so that the virtuous have room to display, and people of insight will come one after another." ”

At this time, Jin Liangliang also muttered in his heart, this Chen Lin should have come to join me because I could bring benefits to him. However, this world is like this, if you want to use others, you must have the value of being used by others. Jin Liang asked Chen Lin to write letters to Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son. However, Jin Liang knew that the Chen family father and son had never been out of Xuzhou in history, and they regarded Xuzhou as their sphere of influence, so they should not have taken refuge in themselves so early, unless they hit Xuzhou, but when they hit Xuzhou, there were countless military generals under their command, and how could they reuse these two people.

Compared with a hundred-mile talent like Chen Qi and Chen Deng, Jin Liang is looking forward to a thousand-mile talent in Xuzhou and his brother. Jin Liang specially selected two capable soldiers from the dozens of Xuzhou soldiers and passed on an appointment edict for him, which was addressed to Zhuge Xuan, a native of Yangdu in Langxi County. Lu Bu didn't have much interest in Zhuge Xuan, mainly for his two nephews, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin. Jin Liang looks at history very objectively, although Zhuge Liang is not as divine as in the romance, his military and political talents should be thousands of miles away, and Zhuge Jin is a talent of thousands of miles. Since the two nephews are so capable of governing, their uncle Zhuge Xuan's ability to govern the place should not be bad. In history, Zhuge Xuan was appointed by Yuan Shu as the Taishou of Yuzhang, and as a result, the Eastern Han Dynasty court controlled by Li Dao Guo Yan sent Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan's position, Zhuge Xuan was forced to defect to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and then lived in seclusion in Wollongong, so he had no chance to perform, but Jin Liang wanted to give him a chance to perform this time, and was ready to appoint him as the Taishou of Julu County under the rule of Jizhou. At this time, Zhuge Brothers' father Zhuge Jue has died, and the young Zhuge brothers follow their uncle Zhuge Xuan, if Zhuge Xuan is ordered to come to Jizhou to take office, then the Zhuge brothers will follow, and when they grow up, they will naturally work for themselves. Jin Liang was worried that without the teaching of famous teachers, the Zhuge Brotherhood would not be as capable as in history, but Chen Lin just made a supplement to Jin Liang, so that Jin Liang was pleasantly surprised to find that Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang's master Sima Hui and Sima Yi's master Hu Zhao were all in Yingchuan County, Jin Liang was going there to meet the Yingchuan students represented by Guo Jia, so he could invite those two masters to Jingzhou by the way, and they would teach, and Jin Liang would guide him to believe that Zhuge Liang and others would not become waste materials. (To be continued.) )
