Chang Yu turned his head to look, there was a recruitment order on the wall, and he was curious, so he beckoned Zhan to come closer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This recruitment order is green cloth and white characters, which is exactly the same as what Chang Yu saw in Yewang Town that day.

Chang Yu read it through, and this time he completely ignored it, and the content was roughly what the old man of Qingyang said that day, regardless of his background, the Xiangguo Mansion would appoint people on the basis of merit, hire them with a lot of money, and give them official positions.

recalled that when he was in Yewang Town that day, Chang Yu originally intended to go to Xiangguo's Mansion to try his fists, but he was framed by Zhao Lichang and replaced the conscription quota. Now that I have come full circle, I still return to Puyang City, which is really a trick.

Thinking of Zhao Lichang, Chang Yu was angry in his heart, he thought that he was not a great sage and sage who repaid grievances with virtue, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely teach Zhao Lichang a lesson to this despicable villain.

Thinking like this in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

"Does this little brother think there is anything wrong with Xiangguo's move?" A gentle and elegant middle-aged man next to him turned his head and asked.

This middle-aged man's face is like a crown of jade, with a pinch of fine beard on his clean face, which adds a bit of bookishness, a few strands of white silk sandwiched between his black hair on his temples, and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, his age is revealed.

This man looked at the past, which made Chang Yu feel extremely comfortable, elegant and resolute.

Chang Yu's own actions just now were not aimed at this recruitment order, but now he was misunderstood by this middle-aged man, and he was embarrassed.

However, for the other party's question, Chang Yu happened to think about it today, so he replied, "Xiangguo's recruitment order is of course a wise move, but there is something unclear below, and I want to ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Oh?" Seeing that Chang Yu didn't answer the rhetorical question, the middle-aged man smiled elegantly, "Little brother, please speak." ”

"Now Xiaowei's main official position in the country is in the hands of the aristocracy?" Chang Yu was not familiar with this aspect, so he inquired first.

The middle-aged man's eyebrows moved, and he said, "That's true, I heard that the three major clans of the Zinan clan, the Kang clan and the Wei clan have inherited the official positions of eight or nine out of ten in the court, leaving only some side officials and last positions. ”

"In this case, the talents recruited by the recruitment order are just diners under the Xiangguo Mansion, and it is extremely difficult to really embark on the road of official career." Chang Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "Moreover, since most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are the three major clans, each with their own interests, if Xiangguo does not belong to one of the three major clans, even if the new policies emerge in an endless stream, I am afraid that there will be great resistance in the implementation process." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, stroked his beard, and praised, "Although the little brother is young, he is to the point, I heard that this Xiangguo is not a defender, it seems that Xiangguo is indeed struggling in the court, and the virtuous people cannot be appointed to the middle and high positions in the court through the Xiangguo Mansion. ”

"Not really." Chang Yu pointed to the people in front of the recruitment list and said, "You see, just the popular effect caused by this recruitment order can also win a good reputation for Xiangguo, and when the policy is implemented in the future, it is easier to get the support of the people at the bottom, so in my opinion, the original intention of this recruitment order is not to attract many talents, but the public opinion effect is the key." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Chang Yu with a little surprise and said, "Little brother's idea is really unique, listening to you say this, this Xiangguo is a person who covets good fame?" ”

"That's not what I meant, recruiting talents, I think there must be another way for this Xiangguo. However, if the hereditary bureaucracy is not changed, it will be impossible to truly achieve the effect of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and even if we recruit talented people, we will not be able to install forces in the DPRK and China, and it will be difficult to help the defense of the country truly implement its policies. In addition, once the major clans in the court are mired in conflicting interests and fight each other, how can they help King Wei revive his national strength? Chang Yu added.

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, "Little brother, you don't know, the current Lord of the Guardian can only be called the Guardian." ”

After the middle-aged man sighed, he smiled dumbly, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "In the past, Uncle Kang established the defense of the country, the country and the people's peace, until the time of Wei Wugong, the national strength was stronger, and then assisted Zhou Tianzi to quell the Dog Rong Rebellion, and he made outstanding achievements and was named a duke, and the defense of the country has become a strong country since then." ”

"It's a pity that for hundreds of years in later generations, the Weiguo clan and the royal family continued to fight for power, killing the monarch and usurping the throne, and brothers fought each other, which happened repeatedly, until Wei Chenghou arrived, the country was already a small candidate, and the country was far inferior to the princes, so he was demoted to Hou. Later, until today's Wei Heijun, the lord of the country, only a few places in Puyang remained, and the country declined, and Wei Hou was demoted to the king. When Wei Sijun was young, he was also an ambitious master, but unfortunately he later ......"

The middle-aged man shook his head, then turned to Chang Yu and said firmly, "I believe that today's Xiaowei Kingdom is still promising. I don't know if the little brother is interested in going to Xiangguo's Mansion to try his fists, I can introduce the little brother. ”

Although Chang Yu didn't know what way the other party had to help him introduce him, he already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile, "Mr. has won the award, I just know how to play tricks, and I don't dare to go to the middle class of Xiangguo's Mansion to get an axe." What's more, now that the nobles in the court are in power, it is not suitable for ordinary people like me, thank you Mr. for your kindness. ”

The middle-aged man was about to speak, when suddenly a person ran to his side, bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Although that person was a beam of luck, after Chang Yu's divine thoughts were tempered, his facial features were more sensitive, and they were too close to each other, so he listened to it.

"Sir, Your Highness has something urgent, please ask Mr. to come to the mansion, please be sure to go."

The middle-aged man thought for a while, bowed to Chang Yu elegantly, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do, I think the little brother has seen people, I don't know what to call it, what to do now, I hope we can meet again in the future." ”

What's going on? Chang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said politely, "Under Chang Yu, he is just an outer disciple of the Golden Gate, I hope to have a chance to see you again." ”

The middle-aged man pronounced Chang Yu's name twice and solemnly wrote it down, and then turned around to say goodbye, which made Chang Yu very useful.

"Brother Chang, this Confucian student doesn't look as unpleasant as other sour scholars, but it's quite comfortable." Zhan Nao saw the middle-aged man walking away, and said, "Brother Chang, what you said sounds quite reasonable, it turns out that there is no way out to become an official in the court, it seems that I am still staying in the Golden Gate, and I will quickly close the door to practice after I go back this time." ”

Chang Yu was also relieved that he could spread his feet like this, but at this time, his attention was on the direction of the middle-aged man's departure.

He noticed that after the middle-aged man left, several people around him also left silently, and those people stood in a position as if they were scattered around to protect the middle-aged man.

When Chang Yu and Zhan Jiao returned to the courtyard where the outer disciples were, it was already late at night.
