Chapter 20 Talent Issues
(ps: Today is said to be two more, the second one is in the evening, ask for collection.) )
Just like a beggar, the next morning, Mi Fang really sent a few house slaves to Tao Ying to send two hundred catties of good iron and one hundred catties of raw silk, Tao Ying was training in the school field at that time, and after receiving the news, he did not thank him in person, and directly asked the Mifu slaves to send the iron and raw silk to the timber construction site, and handed them over to the Danyang soldiers who guarded the safety of the construction site Du Bo Yanlong for acceptance, and the Mifu slaves did not dare to disobey, and the honest general needed to be sent to the front of the construction site.
After the Mifu slave arrived outside the gate of the Junzi military construction site, across the fence, the Mifu slave clearly saw the siege weapon of the Junzi army in the tense trial, although this return car is still only a prototype, but it also made a deep impression on the Mifu slave, after returning to Mifu, the Mifu slave secretly reported to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers that did not mention it.
Because the basic shape of the return car is quite similar to the large thunderbolt car, the Mi Zhu brothers naturally thought that the return car on the construction site of the Junzi Army was the prototype of the thunderbolt car, and combined with the information collected from other channels, the Mi Zhu brothers finally believed that the new weapon secretly created by the Junzi Army was the thunderbolt car, and sent their henchmen to send the news and the memorized thunderbolt drawings to Xiaopei one hundred and forty miles away to Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to decide the next move.
Three days later, Liu Bei's reply was sent back to the Mizhu brothers, and in the letter to the Mizhu brothers, Liu Bei asked the Mizhu brothers to give up further espionage operations on the Junzi Army to avoid completely angering the old and immortal Tao Qian thief, and at the same time Liu Bei asked the Mizhu brothers to help and assist Tao Ying as much as possible to build the thunderbolt car, which could not only appease the Tao Qian family who were increasingly disgusted with the Mizhu brothers, but also facilitate Liu Bei to take over the siege weapon thunderbolt developed by Tao Ying after taking over Xuzhou.
Although Liu Bei didn't believe that Tao Yingzhen could make a thunderbolt that could attack the city, Liu Bei also believed that if Tao Yingzhen could successfully develop the thunderbolt car, it would be equivalent to helping Liu Beijun improve the siege force, so Liu Bei felt that it was necessary for the Mizhu brothers to invest a venture capital in Tao Ying.
Of course, Liu Bei's words of the Mizhu brothers could not help but listen, after a little discussion, the Mizhu brothers, who felt that their brother was indeed too mean to Tao Ying, quickly made up their minds and decided to take the opportunity of delivering two hundred war horses to give Tao Ying another 300 catties of iron and 200 catties of raw silk, in an effort to ease the increasingly acute and obvious contradictions with Tao Qian's father and son.
In the face of the military supplies sent by the Mizhu brothers again like sending a flower, in order to delay the time of turning his face with Liu Bei as much as possible, Tao Ying still accepted the gift of the Mizhu brothers with a smile, but it was inevitable that he hated the Mizhu brothers even more in his heart - the military supplies that the Mizhu brothers gave to the Junzi Army three times were not as good as one-tenth of Liu Bei's.
To Tao Ying's surprise, as soon as he sent away the Mizhu brothers with his front foot, Chen Deng, the largest landlord in Xuzhou, came to the Junzi Army camp with his back foot, and also sent Tao Ying an unplanned hundred war horses, 500 catties of good iron, 300 catties of good raw silk and ten good sandalwood three zhang long.
"Thank you Brother Yuanlong, Tao Ying is really grateful." Because Chen Qi and Tao Qian are equals, they are also commensurate with Chen Deng's peers, and while thanking him from the bottom of his heart, Tao Ying asked Chen Deng suspiciously: "Brother Yuanlong, how did you know that I needed these military supplies?" Tao Ying didn't ask Brother Yuanlong for help? ”
"Second son, this is your mistake." Chen Deng didn't answer Tao Ying's question directly, but just said with a haha: "The second son is well-read, and it is a good thing for the country and the people to rebuild the thunderbolt to help the Xuzhou army kill the enemy. Could it be that Chen Deng is such a stingy person? ”
"No, no." Tao Ying hurriedly shook his head and explained: "It's not that the younger brother doesn't want to plead with Brother Ren, it's just that the younger brother knows that Brother Yuanlong's family business is mostly based on fields and manors, and this Cao Thief Rebellion, Brother Yuanlong's assets have suffered a very heavy loss, so the younger brother really can't bear to make Brother Yuanlong worse, so he never asked Brother Yuanlong for help." ”
Explaining this, Tao Ying's heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward, took Chen Deng's hand and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuanlong, how did you know that the younger brother was building a thunderbolt?" Also, how did Brother Yuanlong know that the younger brother needed iron, raw silk and sandalwood? The stakes are very high, and Brother Wanwang Yuanlong will not hesitate to give advice. ”
"Second son, Chen Deng knows that you are acting secretly, and he doesn't want outsiders to know too much about your military aircraft." Chen Deng patted Tao Ying's hand and said in a low and sincere voice: "But the second son, the training location you chose is not right, the area around Xuzhou City is very populous, the land is small and densely populated, and it is really difficult for the second son to prevent the military aircraft from leaking." For example, Brother Fool, although Brother Fool did not deliberately spy on your military plane, he inadvertently heard the news of your secret Thunderbolt through other channels. ”
"Thank you Brother Yuanlong for your advice, Tao Ying has been taught." In fact, Tao Ying didn't know that the camp of the Junzi Army was too close to the city of Xuzhou, and it was very easy to leak the military aircraft, but at present, when the Junzi Army was first built, many things had to be started from scratch, and once the camp was too far away from the base camp, these things would have to be done with half the effort, seriously slowing down the pace of the Junzi Army's army building, so Tao Ying was also forced to be helpless, so he temporarily chose to be stationed in Xuzhou Xiaoxiaochang.
Helpless and helpless, Chen Deng, who has a mediocre relationship with Tao Ying, can give such guidance, which is also very interesting, so Tao Ying in addition to repeatedly thanking him, he took the initiative to confess: "Tao Ying didn't dare to deceive Brother Yuanlong, in fact, Tao Ying had already had the idea of moving the camp, but everything was not yet ready, and he couldn't make the trip for the time being. ”
"Childe plans to move to Xiapi?" Chen Deng frowned, he wanted to remind, but he was worried that he would be shallow and profound.
"Brother Yuanlong, is there something wrong?" Tao Ying found that Chen Deng's expression was not good, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother Yuanlong, if there is anything wrong with this plan of the junior brother, please speak up and give me advice." ”
Chen Deng hesitated for a moment, and finally reminded him in a roundabout way: "Childe, this time the Cao thieves troubled Xuzhou, none of the five counties of Xuzhou were spared, all of them were looted by the army, only Xiapi was the least damaged, even if it was Pengcheng, Tancheng and Guangling such important towns in Xuzhou, the current population and people's livelihood are far inferior to Xiapi - Gongzi moved to Xiapi, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the military aircraft to keep secrets." ”
"What do you mean?" Tao Ying was a little confused, but Tao Ying quickly came to his senses and said secretly: "Chen Deng is right! The five counties of Xuzhou are all greatly injured, only Xiapi is the least damaged, Xuzhou's tax money and grain, in fact, most of it depends on the supply of Xiapi, such a major economic and demographic town, before I have no political achievements and achievements, how dare my cheap father Tao Qian rest assured to hand over to me? I'm afraid that if I propose to move to Xiapi, the first thing to oppose is my cheap dad! ”
Thinking about this, secretly admiring and thanking Chen Deng, Tao Ying hurriedly said: "What Brother Yuanlong pointed out is that Tao Ying understands that Xiapi is indeed not suitable for Tao Ying - my father may not be at ease to let Tao Ying be stationed in Xiapi. Tao Ying dared to ask Brother Yuanlong again, according to Brother Yuanlong's opinion, where should Tao Ying be moved? ”
"This son is really not simple, although it is a little rash and reckless, but it is rare to be able to be obedient and listen to the sound, and it is a little bit thorough." Chen Deng praised in his heart, hesitated for a while, Chen Deng finally decided to be a good person to the end, and said with a smile: "Second son, eighty miles south of Pengcheng, there is a city named Wu County, when the Cao thief rebellion, the people in the city were afraid of the Cao thief slaughtering the city, the nineteen stars were scattered, and they were displaced from other places, even if the Cao soldiers retreated, few people returned to the countryside to farm, and the people in the city now have only more than 100 households, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but the city and houses are mostly intact, regardless of the grain garrison, it is quite convenient to ....... ”
Chen Deng said it to this point, Tao Ying couldn't understand the system for so many years, and he hurriedly thanked Chen Deng again and again under great joy, and at the same time Tao Ying couldn't help but say tentatively: "Brother Yuanlong is so talented, but his official position is below Mi Zizhong, he is really wronged, the younger brother is not talented, and he deliberately wants to sponsor Brother Yuanlong in front of his father, I don't know what the brother wants?" ”
"Childe laughed, Chen Dengde is meager, and the captain of Ren Dian Agricultural School is already panicked, and he can't do it, where do you dare to peep into a high position?" How could Chen Deng not hear the meaning of Tao Ying's words, but as the largest landlord and landlord in Xuzhou, how could Chen Deng dare to bet easily, so Chen Deng immediately opened his mouth and refused politely, and offered to leave, Tao Ying did not stay, and personally sent Chen Deng out of the gate of the gentleman's military camp and said goodbye to Chen Deng.
"This guy is actually definitely a first-class military advisor in the Three Kingdoms era, Chen Gong is not his opponent, or he is too conservative, he is reluctant to let go of one acre and three points of land in Xuzhou, and he has missed countless opportunities to show his strength." Looking at Chen Deng's departing back, Tao Ying pondered in his heart, "Also, this guy likes to hug his thighs, whoever has thick legs will hug whomever he wants, I want to subdue him now, it may not be big." ”
"Talents, talents, why is it so difficult to find a few talents?" Recruiting Chen Deng was politely refused, Tao Ying naturally remembered an important question, "In the 21st century time travel novel, as long as the pig's foot is shaken by the tiger's body, countless stupid heroes and heroes immediately bow down, why has my recruitment order been posted for so long, and there is still no decent person to come to serve me?" Is it because I don't have enough domineering energy? ”
Long before the formation of the Junzi Army, Tao Ying had already obtained the consent of his cheap father Tao Qian, and issued a recruitment list to the five counties of Xuzhou, calling on talents with skills to work for Tao Qian's father and son, dreaming of being like Cao Ying, posting a recruitment order and a large number of votes for Wenchen Wu to vote in the future. At the same time, Tao Ying asked Cao Hong to take action, and sent his henchmen to Langya County to find the whereabouts of the young Zhuge Liang, planning to pull this future pervert into his hands and cultivate him from an early age, and when he grows up, he can act as a thug for himself.
However, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Tao Ying, who does not know much about Zhuge Liang's early life, sent someone to investigate only to know that Zhuge Xiaodemon had followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Yuzhang when he was eight years ago five years ago, and Zhuge Xuan was not only the friend of Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, but also the favorite minister of Yuan Shu, the old Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world, and now they have become Yuzhang Taishou, with Tao Ying's current reputation and status, it is obviously impossible to pull Zhuge Xiaodemon out of Zhuge Xuan's arms.
What disappointed Tao Ying even more was the effect of the recruitment list, the recruitment list was posted for nearly a month, not only did he not recruit a famous and surnamed fierce man, but he also didn't even recruit a barely decent talent, the one who came to defect was either a stinky sweet potato or a rotten bird's egg, and those who opened their mouths and closed their mouths were also, the moral article was said to be wild, but the military and people's livelihood were helpless, so pedantic that they could smell the smell of rotting corpses on their bodies from three or five miles away, so angry that Tao Ying didn't want one, all of them were pushed to his cheap father Tao Qian and the nerdy brother Tao Shang, Let them go and mingle with the stench of these rancids.
It was only later that Tao Ying learned that he couldn't recruit suitable talents now, the reason was not in Tao Ying's own body, but in Tao Ying's cheap father Tao Qian, because long before Tao Ying posted a list of talents, Tao Qian had already posted several recruitment lists, but unfortunately Tao Qian's employment point of view is very problematic, talents have no reputation, not from a scholar family, not to know poetry and songs, not to erase countless truly talented scholars, heroes and heroes, even offended Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, who was the only one full of 100 politics in the Three Kingdoms game, with such a lesson from the past, Tao Ying posted a list of talents, and real talents will naturally not be easily fooled.
The father's debt was repaid by the son, Tao Qian's concept of talent selection was completely harmful to Tao Ying, so that Tao Ying did not have a decent civilian staff officer until now, and only Tao Ji, a barely available cousin, helped in terms of military generals - of course, this is also to blame Luo Guanzhong, who did not tell Tao Ying in his god work that Tao Ji could become the Jiaozhou assassin of Eastern Wu in the future, and also cleaned up the Vietnamese monkeys well, so in Tao Ying's impression, his cheap cousin can only be regarded as a third-rate military general at best, and it is difficult to entrust important tasks. Otherwise, the realist Tao Ying would definitely be better to this cousin.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, take your time." Tao Yingtian shamelessly comforted himself: "It doesn't matter if there is no civil official, I am the best civil official; It doesn't matter if there is no counselor, I am the best counselor; It doesn't matter if you don't have a general, I'm still the best general! As long as I survive the beginning, the military generals of Wenchen and the mastermind of the think tank, I want as many as I want! ”
