Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding were still thinking.

Lu Ruoteng has worked at the top level for several years and has good insight in politics.

He opened his mouth and said: "The general is loyal and righteous, and he still remembers the kindness of Emperor Longwu. It's just that Emperor Longwu was unfortunate and was tragically victimized by traitors, and the middle way collapsed. Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is approaching step by step, and when the Ming Dynasty is in danger of survival, fortunately, the generals and other loyal people forget about themselves, so that the Ming Dynasty can be saved. Now for the sake of the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, I also asked the general to give up the small righteousness and change the Yongli to respect. In this way, the people with lofty ideals in the world will praise the general's high righteousness and are willing to follow the general to carry out the great cause together. ”

The implication is that Emperor Longwu can be regarded as killing your father, so you don't have to pretend anymore, hurry up and change your banner, so that the literati will be willing to follow you.

Hearing Lu Ruoteng's words, Zheng Chenggong blushed a little.

Also, he supported Longwu, sold him when he turned his head, and took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong can be regarded as killing Longwu, and now he is still a son who has been playing his banner with a dead face.

In the eyes of some literati, it is too shameless to be a man!

It is no wonder that there are more people who take refuge in the future, and there are fewer people who come to seek refuge in the wise men, there is this reason.

The banner of Longwu cannot be used anymore, but Zheng Chenggong does not want to use the banner of Lu Jianguo.

In this case, the banner of Yongli is the only one Zheng Chenggong can choose.

The Emperor is far away, even if he serves him, he can't interfere with his decrees!

It doesn't matter if he plays his banner.

Zheng Chenggong, who figured it out, immediately accepted the suggestion to change to Yongli.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your guidance, Ming Yan will send someone to Guangxi to watch the watch in the near future." ”

Hearing that Zheng Chenggong understood what he meant, he also didn't mind his sarcasm about his father, so Lu Ruoteng praised in his heart, yes, he was humble and clear. It's a candidate to turn to.

Ye Yiyun also said his opinion at this time: "The Tartars took advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to steal artifacts and sweep the north, which can be regarded as occupying the sky. The general has sea insurance and occupies an advantageous area. Mencius once said that the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. If you want to make a difference in today's world, it depends on people. In today's troubled times, the employment of people is imminent, and the general should set up a recruitment hall to recruit talents. ”

Zheng Chenggong really has a deep understanding of Ye Yiyun's suggestion.

Originally, it was okay, but now that the territory has increased, it is really not enough for me to have a point, and now it is a little stretched!

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Xie Jingpu reminds that Ming Yan is even more worried about people's hands during this time. If Keipo had come to mention it earlier, Mingyan wouldn't have had to work so hard these days. ”

Ye Yiyun hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare, it's just an old word, and it shouldn't be praised by the general!" ”

Seeing that everyone else had spoken, Chen Ding organized the following text and said: "General, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, the imperial examination has not been held for nearly four years, the students and scribes have not studied for a long time, and the grass people are afraid that they will abandon their studies, sink into degeneration, indulge in the sound of dogs and horses, and it will be of no benefit to the country and the people!" In order to buy people's hearts, the Manchu Tartars reopened the imperial examination in the second year of Longwu to select talents. Therefore, I implore the general to reopen the academy, and at the same time play the Yongli Emperor to resume the imperial examination, so as to receive the hearts of the world's scholars! ”

If all the literati and scholars went to the Manchu to apply for the imperial examination, not only would these scholars agree with the rule of the Manchus, but most of them would also hold positions in the Manchus in the future.

In that case, where will Lao Tzu go to find talents in the future.

Zheng Chenggong thought of this, and hurriedly said: "If it weren't for Brother Heavy Weapon, Yan Ming would be in danger of a big deal." Ming Yan will definitely reopen the college, and then he will ask Brother Chongqi to work hard to serve as the dean. ”

Chen Ding hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The student is the student of the world, General Xie!" ”

I saw that although these three people were not good at military strategy, they still had a set of political administration. Zheng Chenggong treated them with great respect, treated them like guests, and asked for their opinions whenever they encountered major matters.

Zheng Chenggong listened to Lu Ruteng's advice, and sent Lu Zhenfei, Jiang Yucan and others to carry Zheng Chenggong's handwritten statement to Guangdong by sea to report to the Yongli Imperial Court on his resistance to the Qing Dynasty along the coast of Fujian, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the east and west under the leadership of the Yongli Imperial Court and seek common rejuvenation.

Lu Zhenfei was going to see Yongli, and Zheng Chenggong appointed Lu Ruoteng to replace Lu Zhenfei and manage Haicheng.

With the increase of territory, Zheng Chenggong felt more and more that there was a lack of talent.

In terms of government affairs, it is not a problem for Lu Ruoteng, Ye Yiyun and others to govern a county, or even a province, but let them consult the military strategy, and they will be blind.

Militarily, Gan Hui, Chen Hui and others are okay as pioneers, Shi Lang can rest assured, Lin Xishan wants to control the water division, and he is distracted. There is no talent in Zheng Jiajun.

Technologically, that's not to mention. The scribes of this era could only write eight strands, and few had even read "Qi Min Yaoshu" and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration". Feng Chengshi is the only one who can use it.

In order to recruit more talents, Zheng Chenggong set up a recruitment hall, issued a talent search order, and sought talents.

Zheng Chenggong appointed Ye Yiyun as the owner of Tong'an Zhi County and the Zhaoxian Pavilion to recruit wise men from all over the world.

In order to attract more talents, Zheng Chenggong specially told Ye Yiyun: "Now the world is in chaos, and Daming is in danger." Although Yan Ming is not talented, he does not dare to be arrogant, and he should use his own strength to save the people of the world and revitalize the Han dynasty. However, although Yan Ming has the heart to help the community, he is bitter for the help of young sages. Today, there are no virtuous people in the people, and the courage to disregard, the enemy fights, if the civil and vulgar officials, high talent and heterogeneity, or can be guarded; In the name of humiliation, laughter, or unkindness and filial piety, there is a skill in governing the country and using soldiers: what they know is not forgotten. ”

Hearing that Zheng Chenggong wanted to emulate Cao Cao's employment and not pay attention to morality, Ye Yiyun hurriedly said, "The husband employs people, and those with high talents are good, and the good is great." Those who are talented are evil, and evil is also great. Therefore, the use of people as officials, morality first. Please also ask the general to think twice. ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a pleasant face: "Xi Yizhi and Fu said that they are sluts; Guan Zhong and Huan Gong thieves are also used for prosperity. Xiao He, Cao Shen, and county officials; Han Xin and Chen Ping bear the name of insult, have the shame of laughing, and can achieve the royal industry, and the reputation is recorded. Wu Qi was greedy, killed his wife and was confident, scattered gold to seek officials, and his mother died and did not return, but in Wei, the Qin people did not dare to go east, and in Chu, the three Jin did not dare to seek south. ”

Ye Yiyun didn't dare to slander the sages, so he hurriedly confessed: "Jingpu is wrong. Keipo just wanted to remind Lord Taiwei not to ignore the virtue of politics, and he had no intention of slandering the sages. ”

Chen Ding was appointed as the Tong'an Instructor and opened the Tong'an College to recruit children in preparation for the reopening of the imperial examination.

Hearing the news that Zheng Chenggong recruited wise men from all over the world, Wang Zhongxiao, Gu Chaojian, Shen Quanqi, Fei Hongfu, and Wu Xueyan, a great Confucian in the late Ming Dynasty, came to Zheng Chenggong one after another.

and as for the praise of the contemporaries: "Successfully raise your arms and shout, all the heroes of the world will be attached." ”

These people, together with Lu Zhenfei and others, gradually formed a civilian staff group of Zheng Chenggong who participated in decision-making politically, liaised with local anti-Qing forces and governed local governments.

Zheng Gongcheng respected the behavior of Lu Ruoteng and others, and under the propaganda of his subordinates, he immediately won Zheng Chenggong great prestige.

Since then, the name of Zheng Chenggong, who was originally only famous on the southeast coast, has appeared in the ears of anti-Qing people from all walks of life in the north and south of the river.
