Chapter 425: The Three Princes of Jingzhou
After entering the mansion gate, Da Qiao stopped for a moment, looked around, and saw that no one was around. He turned his head and beckoned to a capable maid beside him.
He said softly, "You can see the girl outside the door." ”
"Hmm." The maid nodded and said.
"Later, you go out and bring her to the house." Big Joe said.
"Yes." The maid replied.
Seeing that the maid was well-behaved, Da Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Since she was captured by Gan Ning from Moling, she also brought a few maids with her.
Later, Da Qiao was not at ease with Qiao Lao, so he sent those capable maids over to serve Qiao Lao. The maid next to her was selected in Xiling.
I don't know Sun Shangxiang. Otherwise, something will happen.
After giving orders to the maid, Da Qiao walked towards the backyard.
It's just that I miss Sun Shangxiang outside the door in my heart.
On the other side, after Liu Feng entered the General's Mansion. He didn't immediately go to the backyard to reunite with his wife. Instead, he sat in the study and beckoned Liu Ba to ask about the situation in Xiling.
In the study, Liu Feng sat on the main seat, and Liu Ba was on the left.
"How was the city during my absence?" Liu Feng asked.
"It's business as usual. It's just that the number of scholars coming from the north has gradually increased. "Liu Ba knows the situation in the house well. Hearing this, he quickly replied.
For this result, it was expected by Liu Feng.
Since the year before last, Liu Fengshuang married Cai's daughter and Huang's daughter, his reputation has reached the level of Zhongtian. There are also people who compare his comprehensive power with Jiangdong.
At that time, many people came to join them. Now, he sits on seven counties, not only one more county than Jiangdong, but also has the real upper hand in terms of power.
Jingzhou was a gathering place for anti-Cao scholars. Now that Cao Ying is about to move, Xiangyang is under the governance of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and the surname of security is gone.
And Liu Feng on steaming is naturally the best choice. So, they all moved over.
Jiangdong is known as the barbarian, and Jingnan, Jiangxia, Jiujiang, this is the desert of the Shi people. There are hardly many celebrities and cultural heritage. It is a barbarian who is even more barbarian than the east of the river. Talent has always been a headache for Liu Feng.
However, with the influx of a large number of scholars and scholars. It should also barely meet the criteria for establishing a system for selecting officials.
Go to Jiang Wanjiang Xia Taishou and be included in the history of General Yang Wu's mansion? In order to formulate an official selection system, so that a steady stream of talents can be replenished.
Liu Feng's heart was pounding.
Just when Liu Feng's heart was moved, Liu Ba said again: "Shuijing Sima Hui, as well as Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, etc., all came with their families. Among them, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan even led most of the clansmen to the south, leaving only a small number of domestic slaves to take care of the ancestral industry in the north. ”
"What?" Liu Feng was taken aback and lost his voice.
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are both from famous families in Jingchu, and they are family members. There is a place where people have lived for generations.
And now these two people actually abandoned their ancestral business and migrated the whole clan to Jingnan.
It was a bold and bold decision.
One is to avoid the war, and I don't want to have anything to do with Cao Ying. Second, he is also optimistic that he can defend the land of the seven counties. Compete with Cao Ying.
This is to put the baby all on his body. Liu Feng was naturally surprised.
In addition to being surprised, a wave of joy rose from Liu Feng's heart.
He had just asked Jiang Wan to formulate a system for a few years, and now there are three big talents who have come over.
Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, each of them has their own surname, but they are all highly respected, and their talents are impeccable.
The three of them have been in Jingzhou for decades, not only have enough prestige, but also have countless protégés.
If the three of them were to develop a system for selecting officials, it would not only convince people of their credibility. Moreover, they can also get the allegiance of many of their protégés.
It's a big thing, a big big thing.
Why should Liu Feng rush to formulate his own official selection system, because there is a shortage of talents, because his control over the local government is very weak.
In Changsha, Jiujiang, Jiangxia County, Liu Feng arranged for Ma Liang, Jiang Wan and others to govern, and after so many years of rectification, it can be regarded as an ironclad piece.
For example, Zhao Dong, who was dismissed in Wuchang. Although he was wrong. But he did go out of Liu Feng's mansion, and he belonged to a person who was absolutely loyal to Liu Feng.
It was by relying on these people that Liu Feng controlled these three counties.
But Liu Feng's talents can only control these three counties. Now the four counties of Wuling, Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuxi have been defeated, but only four county guards have been dispatched, as well as some of their minor officials have walked over.
Control is weak.
Liu Feng needed a lot of talent to control the county. Therefore, Liu Feng was anxious to establish an official selection system. And if Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan joined. can use the prestige of the three of them to forge his reputation as a Ming Jun.
Who doesn't know, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan are famous all over the world for their ability to see people.
At that time, not only Jingchu, but also talents from Eastern Wu, Yizhou, and the Central Plains may all enter Jiangxia.
"Where are the three gentlemen?" Thinking about it, Liu Feng's eyes burst into a hungry gaze and asked urgently.
From Liu Feng's attitude, Liu Ba realized what Liu Feng was going to do next.
"I have a servant under my tent to lead the way." Liu Badao.
"Come on, prepare the carriage." Liu Feng stood up and said loudly.
Originally, Liu Feng wanted to ask about the situation in Xiling first, and then go to get together with his wife. Rest rest. Now everything is free.
Nothing is as important as Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan.
Soon, Liu Feng got into the carriage and let a small official under Liu Ba's tent lead the way towards the east of the city.
Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan were close friends, and the three of them went south together. After arriving in Xiling, he was taken care of by Jiang Wan, Liu Ba and others.
While acquiring property outside the city, he also found three adjacent mansions.
The three of them often get together, either out and about, or in the house. Liu Feng got the news that the three of them are currently in Sima Hui's mansion.
This time, Liu Feng wanted to meet the three of them in person and catch them all. But I still feel a little weak in my heart.
Huang Chengyan is just that, this father-in-law just stuffed his daughter over. is ironclad to support himself. I will definitely promise that if I am in a good mood, I may help myself speak.
And Sima Hui and Pang Degong are both hermits. Historically, Liu Bei failed to invite the two out of the mountain, which was very difficult.
Liu Feng's heart is even more empty.
But at the same time, a sense of disbelief rose in Liu Feng's heart. Liu Bei is Liu Bei, his luck is not good, and he has been displaced for decades. Later, Jingzhou was only half of it.
Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang, Jiangling. These five counties are just that. And the families of Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and others are all in the Xiangyang area.
Liu Bei wants to invite the three of them out of the mountain, of course, it is difficult.
And now? Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan moved their families south, and recognized his ability to Liu Feng, and he had the ability to keep one acre and three points of land without losing.
Moreover, Huang Chengyan is still his father-in-law.
These two points are advantages, Liu Bei can't do it, it doesn't mean that he can't do it.
What about hermits? Liu Feng clenched his fists.
Soon, the carriage had already arrived outside Sima Hui's mansion.
Outside the gate of "Sima Mansion", the three words on the plaque are very conspicuous. It is also very familiar, Liu Feng has been to Sima Hui's mansion in Xiangyang, where there is also a plaque of the same.
Liu Feng knew at a glance that this plaque was the one in Xiangyang. This proves that Sima Hui has completely abandoned Xiangyang and intends to take root in Jingnan.
Liu Feng's confidence in his heart was even stronger.
In front of the house, there were several house slaves. Because when they first arrived in Jiangxia, these house slaves had cautious faces on their faces. I saw that a carriage guarded by dozens of elite soldiers suddenly stopped on my house.
The house slaves glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and asked, "I wonder who the visitor is?" ”
"Liu Feng." In the carriage, two words were spit out, and then, Liu Feng stepped out of the carriage and stood in front of the house slave.
Heroic appearance, strong physique. and as General Yang Wu, sitting on the seven counties, the momentum cultivated all year round made this slave take a step back slightly. The shock on his face could not be hidden.
But this slave was not a slave in Sima Hui's mansion, and he recovered after a while.
"General, go on." While greeting Liu Feng, the house slave said to his companion behind him: "Go and inform the master, just say General Yang Wu." ”
The houseslave's companion nodded and immediately walked in.
Immediately, the house slave walked in with Liu Feng. It is not placed in the side hall, but directly in the hall.
If the ordinary guests come, those with a normal relationship will wait outside the door, those with a decent relationship will wait in the side hall, and those with a good relationship will go straight to the place where the host is.
Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan didn't need to report every time he came, he asked where the house slave Sima Hui was, and he could find it by himself.
But Liu Feng is not among the three, he is a prince, a prince with a lot of power. In this place, it belongs to the people who say the same.
The house slaves did not dare to slack off, and they could not be placed in the side hall, so they were simply placed in the hall.
For this kind of treatment, Liu Feng happily accepted it. However, when the slave asked Liu Feng to take a seat, Liu Feng shirked it, and just chose a seat on the left side of the main seat to sit down.
He is here to seek talents, not to show off. The master's house did not come, so he sat on the throne by himself. It's too arrogant.
Liu Feng sat for a moment, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps were not hurried or messy. It shows that the owner's mentality is very stable.
The Three Princes of Jing Chu. Liu Feng's eyes were hot.
The first to enter the hall was Sima Hui, followed by Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.
The three of them are all old-fashioned, Sima Hui and Pang Degong are all well-dressed, with a leisurely demeanor and a hermit demeanor. And Huang Chengyan is still the same.
Dressed in fancy clothes and cynical.
After the three of them entered the hall, they saw Liu Feng. Liu Feng didn't wait for the three of them to salute, he stood up himself, and said to the three of them with the courtesy of his juniors: "I've seen Mr. Sima, father-in-law, and Mr. Pang." ”
