Chapter 236: Moving to Chang'an to Discuss Recruitment
readx;
Several huge carriages, surrounded by elite soldiers under Zhang Ren and Zhang Fei, headed for Chang'an. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info huge convoy, miles away. Liu Zhang rode a tall horse in front, and Zhang Ren, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei stood beside him.
Along the way, Liu Zhang was very dissatisfied with the official road from Chengdu to Chang'an. It's too bumpy. However, although the road was bumpy, the women were very happy, especially Wu Amaran (Wu Yi's sister), who had never been far away in her life.
After a long journey of half a month, Liu Zhang and his party finally came to Chang'an. Looking at the tall and wide city wall and the thick but very bright city gate, even Liu Bian, who had been in Chang'an for a long time, was also full of surprise. When I came to the city gate, I saw that Guo Jia had already brought everyone to greet him!
"See the lord!" With Guo Jia and Zhao Yun taking the lead, everyone saluted at the same time, and the people and soldiers standing on the side also bowed to Liu Zhang with everyone. The reverence of the people of Chang'an for Liu Zhang comes from the heart. Most of them survived because of Liu Zhang's kindness, including yellow turbans and robbers. Of course, these thieves are now good!
"Excuse me!" Sitting upright on the horse, Liu Zhang was arrogant, his hands were empty, and everyone rose with the trend. The people also straightened up and looked at the young lord of Chang'an.
"My lord, the mansion is ready, please come with me!" Zhao Yun stepped forward and took Liu Zhang's war horse. Liu Zhang wanted to stop it, but Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Big brother, it's an honor for the little brother to be able to lead the horse for you, why should you refuse!" ”
"Good!" Liu Zhang understood Zhao Yun's thoughts, and let him lead the war horse and walk forward. Under the leadership of Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, Liu Zhang led everyone to the middle of Chang'an City. And here, it is the Chang'an Palace in the past.
"Lord, please inside!" Guo Jia stretched out his right hand, spread out his palm, and made a gesture of inviting in.
"It's... Not so good! "Living in the palace with such a high-sounding sound, isn't Liu Zhang's heart known to passers-by?
"Don't hesitate! When you enter this gate, it is the inner city of Chang'an, and the lord's mansion is still in the city! "Guo Jia has already changed the structure of Chang'an, and there is no emperor anyway, so the inner palace has been changed to Liu Zhang's mansion. Of course, if Liu Zhang is the emperor and directly adds some things that represent the emperor, this is the palace again!
Scanning everyone, Liu Zhang understood Guo Jia's heart, he laughed, and rode into the city. As for the people brought by Liu Zhang, Guo Jia had already prepared a mansion for them. According to the relationship with Liu Zhang, everyone's mansions are lined up on the left and right sides of the palace, and the main hall of the palace in the past is the place where everyone discusses and works.
In the main hall of the palace, in the meeting hall prepared by Guo Jia for Liu Zhang, there is a dragon chair and a case at the top. Liu Zhang sat on the dragon chair with a golden knife, playing with a piece of jade in his hand. The two sides went down in turn, and no less than forty or fifty Taishi chairs were placed for Liu Zhang's people to sit and discuss.
In the Han Dynasty, even if the emperor was deliberating, the ministers were all sitting, but the Han Dynasty people were used to kneeling. Liu Zhang really didn't want to kneel and his legs were numb, so he drew the chair and the long case and ordered the craftsman to make them. As for the style, it is completely free for the craftsmen to play. The exquisite and gorgeous tables and chairs in the main hall are all made by craftsmen.
In the main hall, there are only Guo Jia and Liu Zhang, and Guo Jia's task is to take Liu Zhang to familiarize himself with the inner city. After a circle around the inner city, they came to the Great Hall.
"Very good!" Liu Zhang was very satisfied with the reconstruction of Chang'an.
"Thank you for the compliment! Without the advice of the lord, such a huge city would not have been built! Guo Jia bowed and saluted, looking very modest.
"It doesn't have to be this way!" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, now is a troubled time, if you want to dominate the world, the most important thing is talent." I asked you to build the recruitment hall at the entrance of the palace, how did you do? ”
Guo Jia replied: "It has been built, and it can be used at any time!" ”
"Good!" Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said: "Fengxiao, you write, listen to me!" ”
"Yes!" Guo Jia ordered someone to hold a pen and ink cloth, and when he was ready, he looked at Liu Zhang.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Zhang sorted out the three orders issued by Cao Ying in history in his heart:
"Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordained, and he can't taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world with him! And he is virtuous, he has never been out of Lu Lane, how can he be lucky to meet? The ears of those who go above do not ask for it. Today's decision has not yet been made, and this special talent is also urgent. 'Meng Gong is Zhao and Wei Lao is superior, not Teng and Xue Dafu. ’
If it is available later, then how can Qi Huan dominate the world! Xi Yizhi and Fu said that they were 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. How can Chen Ping be diligent, how can Su Qin be trustworthy? And Chen Pingding Hanye, Su Qin Ji weak Yan.
In other words, the scholar is on the short side, and the mediocrity can be wasted! Is there anyone who is fishing in Weibin by brown jade today? And you have no thief sister-in-law to receive money and no one knows?
If there is no virtuous person among the people, and the courage to disregard it, and fight against the enemy, 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 the art of governing the country and using soldiers: they know each way, and do not leave anything behind. A man who has a man of practice may not be able to forge ahead; Enterprising people may not be able to do it. The second and third sons are ugly, only talented, there is Si Ming to think about this meaning, then there is no lag, I have to use it, and the official has no waste.
Today's chaos, especially the Warring States, Chang'an was initially decided, the people needed, whether it is a hundred workers, doctors or merchants, farmers, anyone who has a skill can be an official, if you can serve me, you will not hesitate to be an official, to wait for the powerful! ”
Guo Jia waved it, but after he finished writing, he was stunned. Historically, Cao Ying's order to seek talent broke the family's monopoly on the imperial court, and the family once rebounded violently because of this. It's just that when Cao Ying issued these three edicts, Guo Jia was already dead! Now, Liu Zhang has combined the three edicts into one, and the shock is self-evident.
"The lord wants to be the enemy of the world's families?" The ink dripped on the ground, and Guo Jia reacted.
Liu Zhang didn't answer, but asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think of my power?" ”
"The lord occupies the land of the two states, owns the rich Guanzhong and the granary of Xishu, and is the largest prince in the world!" Looking at Liu Zhang, Guo Jia was quite proud, after all, Liu Zhang was his favorite father-in-law.
Liu Zhang asked again: "Then how many families are there under my rule?" ”
"There are almost no families under the lord's command!" Whether it is Yizhou or Mergezhou, Liu Zhang has confiscated the land and domestic slaves owned by the family. Without land, domestic slaves, and privileges, the family is nothing more than a rich man of culture!
Liu Zhang asked again: "Dare to ask Fengxiao, if I attack other princes, will those families be used by me, or will they help the princes who support them?" ”
"This..."Guo Jia had already thought of the answer, but he didn't know how to say it.
Liu Zhang sneered: "Since those families won't take the initiative to join me, why should I win them over? With my strength, in my territory, you have to listen to me! I will confiscate the family's land and domestic slaves, and they will definitely resist. In this case, when I conquer the other princes, I will destroy those families who do not obey my decrees. Although all the people under my command will also form families, as long as they do not annex land and raise house slaves, I support them to become rich men! Of course, it's okay to keep a few servants, retinues, and maids! ”
"This..."Guo Jia hesitated, he thought for a while and said: "In this case, how about gathering everyone under his command and discussing?" ”
"So much the best!" Liu Zhang nodded and smiled: "Be quick!" Talents in the world are strong first, and then suffer! ”
Five days later, in the main hall, Liu Zhanghu was in the first place. Twenty or thirty people sat on forty or fifty chairs below. Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai and other civil ministers, and Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and other generals sat on the left and right. The waiter brought the music of Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others who could not be present, and Liu Zhang began to formally discuss the matter of establishing a recruitment hall!
In fact, most of Liu Zhang's subordinates are from poor families, and they are very much in favor of Liu Zhang's recruitment order. After listening to the recruitment order, tears faintly flowed from his eyes. In Dahan, it is too difficult for Hanmen to come out. If it's not amazing, there's no chance at all.
Liu Zhang gave the Hanmen a chance, and even gave hundreds of workers, doctors, merchants, and farmers a chance to enter the court as officials. Although there is still a long way to go if the poor want to come out, Liu Zhang's recruitment order is a cross-era signal.
Seeing that there was no reaction from everyone in the hall, Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "What do you think?" ”
"Support the lord below!" Xi Zhicai was the first to stand up and shout for Liu Zhang, and even Zhang Fei, the fastest in Pingsuli, failed to get ahead of him.
"We also support the lord!" Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong and other generals, most of them stood up, and almost all of them were poor. If you hadn't met Liu Zhang, most of them would have spent half their lives, and the most typical one was Huang Zhong.
As the saying goes: fists are afraid of being strong. Although the warrior does not say that the younger he is, the more powerful he is, he cannot say that when he is sixty or seventy years old, he is still brave and ruthless. But Huang Zhong in history has been a captain for most of his life. Could it be that Huang Zhong's ability is not as good as Bao Zhong and Bao Xin? Huang Zhong is just too low-born!
If Huang Zhong had a chance to come out at the age of twenty, his achievements would not be lower than those of some so-called famous generals! Don't you see, old Huang Zhong can still kill Xiahou Yuan in his prime at the age of seventy, even if he is a sneak attack!
Those who can attend the meeting have a certain status under Liu Zhang. Nowadays, most people have expressed their support for Liu Zhang, and many of them rely on Liu Zhang. In fact, Guo Jia also agrees with Liu Zhang, but he is worried that the recruitment order will make Liu Zhang's subordinates disheartened, after all, like hundreds of workers, doctors, merchants, and farmers, in the eyes of orthodox scholars, they are all untouchables. But Guo Jia forgot that there were not many orthodox scholars under Liu Zhang's command.
