"What's going on?"

As soon as Liu Mang entered the door, he asked anxiously.

"It's not a big deal, it's just one thing, my subordinates have discussed it with Li Gongzi for a long time, and I think it's better to say hello."

Fan Zhongyan said, handing over a list.

"Jinyang's list of local recommended talents? What's wrong? Liu Mang said and looked at it carefully.

Jinyang is the seat of Taiyuan County and Bingzhou, and it is the most populous city in Bingzhou, and it also has the most recommended talents.

On the list, only name, age, place of origin and other information were listed, and Liu Mang checked it carefully for a long time, and there was nothing special about it. It's just that there is one person's origin that interests him a little.

"Oh? There are also people from Zhongshan in Jizhou, who are my fellow villagers. ”

"yes." Li Yan walked over, pointed to the person's name and said, "I also said this casually about the review list yesterday. After Mr. Shiwen looked at it, he found a problem. ”

"Oh?."

Fan Zhongyan said: "Taishou, please see, this person's surname is Su Mingyi, and the word is Dingguo." People from Zhongshan in Jizhou, and Taishou are in the same county but different counties. ”

"Yes, his hometown is Xinshi County, thirty miles northwest of my hometown Wuji County. What's wrong? ”

"There, it's General Dingfang's hometown."

"Oh, oh?" Liu Mang suddenly realized what the problem was, frowned, and stared at Fan Zhongyan and Li Yan. "Is it ......?"

"The subordinates just said casually at the time, but, with the same surname and fellow villagers, General Dingfang has an important position in the army, and we are afraid of causing him unnecessary trouble, so we are extra careful."

"You're right. Verification is clear, avoiding gossip, and it is also a protection prescription. ”

"It's just ......" Fan Zhongyan spoke, rarely slurring, "It's just that there are still some troubles......

"It's just the three of us, let's talk."

"Recommend talents, and review and report them from all over the country. The talent recommended by Jinyang, the subordinates discussed with Mr. Changsun, Mulan is also the captain of Jinyang, and she is responsible for verifying the conduct of the reported personnel, this Su Yi ......" Fan Zhongyan shook his head in embarrassment, and continued: "After verification by Mulan, this Su Yi is indeed the brother of Dingfang, this son is more than arrogant, not calm enough, and his demeanor is slightly frivolous......"

Li Yan was more straightforward and said: "This son often lingers in the streets, and even stays in Goolan Washe. ”

Liu Mang's expression was solemn.

However, it is said that this son is indeed talented. The subordinates didn't dare to make the decision, so they asked to be too determined. ”

Long live Shi wrote a letter from the previous time, recommending his brother. Now, Su Dingfang's clan brother has popped up again.

This is the first time that talents have been openly selected, and I am most afraid that nepotism will affect fairness and justice.

Shi Wanzai does not have a high status in the army, and even if there is a problem, it will not have much impact. But Su Dingfang was decidedly different.

Su Dingfang is the current commander of the Taiyuan Army, and his status is only below Liu Mang. In the matter of his brother Su Yi's participation in the recommendation, no matter whether there is a reason for Su Dingfang or not, once there is a problem, it will have an extremely bad impact.

"Have you contacted Dingfang about this?"

"Nope. General Dingfang has not contacted us, and we dare not publicize this matter, and only Taishou and I know about it at present. ”

"Okay, this matter must not be spread outside, as for how to deal with it, what is Mr. Xiwen's opinion?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "My subordinates think that the virtuous do not avoid relatives and enemies, and we select talents based on the principle of meritocracy. Nowadays, among the scholars, the wind of uninhibited and arbitrary nature is becoming more and more popular, and they are proud of talking about heavy drinking, but there is no lack of frankness and freedom. This Su Dingguo is chasing the fashion at any time. ”

Liu Mang didn't make a sound, but he muttered secretly in his heart: It's stinky!

"The former, General Shi Wansui recommended the clan brother, this time, it can be treated by comparison. After the assessment and interview, it will be decided according to their talents, is it okay? ”

"Well, that's for the best. However," Liu Mang added, "You must carefully check, especially those who are related to the military and political leaders of the two counties, and you must examine them more carefully." Those who meet the recommendation criteria are allowed to participate in the assessment and interview. But in the final recruitment, we must be more cautious and strict in dealing with these people. ”

"My subordinates understand."

……

As soon as he walked out of the county hall, Mo Xiaoqi came running with a pigeon.

"Young master, believe!"

Wu used it to believe!

It's still very brief: Hedong, Yanshi, proper, details are reported quickly.

"Good!"

Just because of the recommendation of talents, Liu Mang's boredom was swept away. slapped Mo Xiaoqi on the shoulder, and Mo Xiaoqi stumbled.

However, seeing that the young master was overjoyed, Mo Xiaoqi felt that this slap was worth it!

found Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen read the note and was overjoyed.

"Young master, in this case, we should immediately send Jialiang to Chang'an again."

"Yes. I also thought the same way, and asked Mr. Jia Liang to rush directly to Chang'an from Hedong. It just so happened that Wan'er and Mr. Dongbi were going to Qi County to visit Qiao's family and ask them to bring a letter to Youde, asking him to arrange manpower to prepare for the salt and stone transported from Hedong. ”

"Hedong brought back salt stones, which need to be boiled into salt. The place where the salt is boiled should be selected in advance, and it should be as remote and hidden as possible, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Jizhou and the party. ”

"Let's settle on Pingtao. It is in the north of Zhaoyuze, far away from the official road, and it is not easy to leak news. Let Mr. Chang Gung (Song Yingxing) rush there with Wan'er and the others to boil the specific matter of the salt stone, and let Kou Pingzhong cooperate to provide all the convenience for Mr. Chang Gung. ”

"That's very good."

……

The salt matter in Hedong went so smoothly that it was really beyond Liu Mang's expectations.

However, more than a year of experience has reminded him that the more things go well, the more cautious and prepared for emergencies in advance.

Back at home, Liu Mang wrote a few letters in person before calling Shangguan Wan'er.

"Wan'er, write a few letters."

"Hey."

"Send a letter to Mr. Jia Liang, and ask him to deal with the affairs of Hedong and rush to Chang'an immediately. I have a handwritten letter here for him to open and read for himself. ”

The specific matters of Chang'an involve Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, and the stakes are very high, and this kind of letter, even if it is handled by Wan'er, is not suitable.

"Write another letter to Fu Youde and Kou Pingzhong. Together with my handwritten letter, Wan'er took it to Qi County and handed it over to Fu Youde. ”

"Okay."

After explaining, Liu Mang pulled Wan'er. "When is Wan'er leaving?"

"Right now."

"In such a hurry?"

"Hurry up, maybe there will be good news." Having said that, judging from the news she has gotten, Mrs. Qiao is afraid that she will be more than lucky.

"It's not safe to travel at night."

"Wan'er has calculated, we are all riding horses, run a little more today, stay in Jiaoyang City at night, set off early in the morning, and be able to rush to Qi County in the evening."

Liu Mang raised Wan'er's little hand to his chest and wrapped it with his own hand. "Wan'er, be careful. Go early and come back early. ”

Shangguan Wan'er is not only Liu Mang's lover, but also a super helper and super secretary, if it weren't for the special circumstances, she was really reluctant to go.

"Wan'er is also reluctant to leave the young master, Wan'er has been away for the past few days, and the young master has eaten on time and rested early." Wan'er rested her head on Liu Mang's shoulder, enjoying the warm moment before parting......
