Chapter 52: Seeking Talent (II)

Liu Cun was overjoyed, jumped up and walked to the middle in two steps, first arched his hand to Guan Ning and Guoyuan, who were silent with a smile, and then turned to Bing Yuan and Zheng Xuan and bowed deeply: "Thank you, two teachers!" Liu Cun's gratitude in his heart at this moment is indescribable, so he simply took this opportunity to say all the words buried in his heart! ”

Liu Cun straightened his waist and looked around with sincerity: "Liu Cun knows his own catties, all the praise from the outside world is not what Liu Cun should get, Liu Cun just relied on his meager ability to do something beneficial to his father and fellow villagers with a group of like-minded people, and he can't afford so much praise, I Liu Cun was born in poverty, without any foundation, in order to be an official, he spared no effort to open a workshop to help the victims, and he focused on the agriculture, industry and commerce that many people looked down on, regardless of reputation, and opened a business that is still used by many literati to this day** Celebrities sneered at Langya Agricultural Business College, but all this Liu Cun thinks it is worth it, because only by being an official can he openly explore the way to benefit the country and the people, the bigger the official, the more convenient it is to do things, at least no one will go to the government to accuse me of harboring evil intentions, or to gather people to rebel. [”

Everyone present slowly sat up straight, looking at Liu Cun's eyes becoming more and more serious, Zheng Xuan and Bing Yuan looked at each other and nodded slightly, turned to the surprised Shen Tu Pan and whispered a word, Shen Tu Pan was even more surprised, and then listened solemnly.

Liu Cun paused slightly to sort out his thoughts, and continued to speak generously and bluntly: "What kind of situation my Han is in now, everyone can see it very clearly, but what I think about the most is not to investigate the cause, whenever I see a steady stream of disaster victims gathered in Langya, I feel distressed, I don't have time to investigate the root cause, how to make tens of thousands of people not starve to death, is the most urgent!" Since I was a child, I have always had a dream, hoping to become a person who has contributed to the country and the nation, hoping that my short life will not be wasted in a trance, and I hope that when I am dying, I can proudly say to my children and grandchildren: Look, your Lao Tzu's life is wonderful, right? ”

Everyone was stunned, and it was difficult to adapt to Liu Cun's leapfrogging thinking for a while, but they slowly reminisced but were deeply moved.

Liu Cun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "In the past two years, I have done a lot of things according to my own ideas, every thing I do, is a test of myself, whenever I see a piece of newly cultivated fields grow seedlings, see a workshop to make more convenient and practical tools and utensils, see a group of homeless people in the field with hope in their eyes, I know that I have done right, and I am deeply encouraged, and later, under the care of the benevolent and loving monarch of the people, I was fortunate to be qualified as the commander of Langya County. Finally found a way to make your dreams come true! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Cun walked in front of Guan Ning and Guoyuan: "The two of you have praised me for everything I have done to save the country and save the people, to be honest, I dare not be, if the word saving the country and the people is replaced with the word to benefit the country and the people, I will be happier, this is my dream, and now, with the generous help of the two, I firmly believe that the dream in my heart has been winged since then!" Brother You'an and Brother Zini, thank you for your trust in Liu Cun, Liu Cun is still very weak now, and there is still a long way to go, so I can only give the two Chengyang County Magistrates and Gongcao Shi positions, please! ”

Guan Ning and Guo Yuan, who were deeply moved, hurriedly got up, raised their hands and bent down to respectfully return the salute.

Zheng Xuan was very satisfied with Liu Cun's arrangement, and was relieved to brush his chin and long beard, Bing Yuan quietly approached Zheng Xuan and whispered his feelings in his heart: "This son is amazing, the coming days are unlimited!" ”

Zheng Xuan nodded: "Do you remember Ziyang's transcription of Liu Zijian's drunken chanting?" ”

Bing Yuan couldn't help but smile, shook his head and whispered: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, there are dragons, there are spirits, Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin; The moss marks are green, the grass is green, there is a lot of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and the exchanges are white...... Pity! Liu Ziyang said that he was drunk and fell down when he sang it, I don't know how the second half was, but after this guy woke up, he couldn't remember what he said, hateful! ”

Zheng Xuan laughed: "It's hateful, but this half of the poem is enough to reflect this son's helplessness and lofty ambition now, it seems that we have to try our best to help him, otherwise one day he may take the opportunity to get drunk and go crazy, and then scold the cruel words of 'useless is a scholar'." ”

Bing Yuan was also very helpless: "The hands are short, the mouth is short, and it is not okay not to help him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Cun came to them to salute and thank them, and then humbly asked for advice: "Two teachers, I want to write a recruitment list and post it in the eleven counties under my rule, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up: "Zijian, come on!" Sit in the middle... What kind of talent are you looking for? ”

Liu Cun pulled the hem of the robe under his buttocks: "Now, people who have both ability and political integrity and are famous in the world will not look down on my small temple, so they can only lift their talents, as long as they have a skill, I dare to use him." ”

"No!"

Bing Yuan immediately objected: "No matter what, the first thing is to pay attention to morality, what you need is a talent with one heart and one mind with you, not a talent with a skill but a half-heartedness, you have to be careful!" ”

Liu Cun was very helpless: "The two teachers sit down and are full of talents, ten doctors and fifty teachings, and now there are dozens of visiting doctors who are full of honors, and nearly 100 people are either great talents who have returned to seclusion, or people with deep experience, but they are all obsessed with learning, and they don't ask about mundane things, what can I do?" The 300 students enrolled in the college are all excellent, but most of them have no experience in governance, and they have only recently entered the school, so how can I make good use of them if I don't study with the two teachers and the Ph.D. students for two or three years? ”

Bing Yuan thought that this was indeed the case, there are really not many people who are willing to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Cun at present, even Guan Ning and Guoyuan were temporarily sent to help Liu Cun after he and Zheng Xuan solicited opinions, but I didn't expect Liu Cun, who was eager to seek talent, to use some sincere words to move Guan Ning and Guoyuan at once, and now it seems that Guan Ning and Guoyuan are sincerely going to go with Liu Cun.

Zheng Xuan admired Liu Cun's character very much, so he took the initiative to help Liu Cun: "In this way, Lao Yu drafted a recruitment proclamation for you, and then wrote a letter to Liaodong to see if Li Min, a great talent who is famous for his interpretation of doubts and proficient in the legal codes of the past dynasties, and some famous people around him who have real talents and real learning, are willing to come back to assist you." ”

Liu Cun was overjoyed, immediately thanked him, and quietly asked Zheng Xuan and the others: "Isn't Mr. Shentu also famous for being proficient in the legal codes of previous dynasties?" ”

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "This matter can't be rushed, Shen Tu Zilong just ran over to hide because he was evading the expedition of the imperial court, and he couldn't withstand the hardships of General He and other important ministers, so he couldn't stay at home anymore, let him rest quietly in the academy for a while." ”

Liu Cun suddenly realized, he was born in a poor family at the age of nine and his father was gone, Shen Tupan deeply admired, this is a well-known genius in the world, relying on odd jobs while serving his old mother while studying hard, and finally became a prominent Confucian scholar, in addition, Shen Tupan is also a very good painter, well aware of the people's suffering, very deep experience, if such a talent is let go, Liu Cun may not even be able to forgive himself.
