After the appointment of Wang Yan's personnel, he finally relaxed a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Government affairs are shared by Hu Zhao.

Military affairs, with the assistance of Guan Hai.

Although there are still a lot of affairs in hand, at least they are no longer as busy as when they first returned to Linzi County, and they can have time to rest and think about the next arrangements and plans.

From the analysis of the current situation, a war with Yuan Shao is inevitable.

However, there is still a big gap between Wang Yan's strength and Yuan Shao.

In terms of talents, Yuan Shao relied on the fame of the fourth and third dukes, and recruited a large number of advisers such as Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, etc., as well as good generals such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw, which can be said to be full of talents, and there is never a shortage of talents.

In terms of money and grain, Jizhou has a vast territory, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and countless grains. In addition, Yuan Shao also had the strong assistance of the rich Zhen family in Jizhou, which can be said to be rich in money and food, and he did not worry about food and money.

On the source of soldiers, the people of Jizhou are thriving, and the soldiers are strong and strong. On the other hand, Qingzhou, due to years of war, the people's livelihood in Qingzhou has withered. Even after Wang Yun took office, he continued to change Qingzhou's predicament, but Qingzhou's strength is still a big gap compared with Jizhou.

Jizhou's comprehensive strength is far greater than that of Qingzhou.

If Wang Yan wants to win this battle, he can't just pay lip service and have to make a lot of preparations.

Thorn Shi Fu Ya, study.

Wang Yan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Hu Zhao, and Zhuge Xuan sat down respectively. Wang Yan's eyes swept over a few people, and he said loudly: "At this stage, all aspects of affairs are in progress, but there is still one thing that needs to be promoted. ”

Zhuge Xuan was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Talent! ”

In a word, it shows the biggest problem in Qingzhou at the moment. Although Qingzhou is poor, food, money, and military resources can be scraped together, and they can find ways to solve them, but talents are not easy to recruit.

Wang Yan's eyes were solemn, and he said: "Regarding the lack of talents, I have drawn up a recruitment order, recruited talents, and collected them for my own use. ”

Hu Zhao took over and asked, "The lord wants to recruit talents, but what is the standard?" Is the recruited crowd only for scholars? Or does it include the poor scholars? Or, a standard of ethical conduct? ”

Regarding this point, Wang Yan has already thought about it clearly.

Wang Yan directly ordered: "The standard of the recruitment order, regardless of origin, morality, or appearance, is based on talent." ”

Hu Zhao frowned and said, "In this way, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." ”

Zhuge Xuan continued: "Since ancient times, recruiting talents is naturally recruiting people with both ability and political integrity. Virtue and talent, virtue as the second, talent second, is the right way. Once the recruitment order is based on merit, I am afraid that the main guild will be attacked from all sides. Especially Yuan Shao of Jizhou, he has to fan the flames. ”

Wang Yan said: "It's okay! ”

Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "Actually, Kong Ming's worries are unnecessary. In troubled times, martial arts are respected. As long as your own strength is strong enough, you will not be afraid of other criticism. Moreover, there is a shortage of talents in Qingzhou, and a large number of talents must be filled. Moreover, even if the virtue of the official is insufficient, if it is used properly, there will be no problem. I agree with the Lord's suggestion to be a meritorious. ”

Hu Zhao said: "In this case, I will immediately draw up a recruitment order." ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "The Lord announced the recruitment order, and he is still prepared, and it is possible that he will not be able to recruit suitable talents." ”

Wang Yan said: "I have been prepared for this. ”

After discussing the contents of the recruitment order and discussing the rest of the matters, they went their separate ways to carry it out.

A day later, Linzi County announced a recruitment order, which set off a storm in Linzi County. The intelligence department in charge of Wang Yue and Shi A quickly transmitted the content of the recruitment order to all counties and countries through carrier pigeons.

In just a few days, the recruitment order spread in Qingzhou.

In the whole Qingzhou, there are many discussions, and countless people are gearing up, ready to show their strength.

This trend has spread to the surrounding areas.

All states in the world have learned the news of Qingzhou's recruitment.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

The state minister's office, the government office.

Yuan Shao summoned Guo Tu in the study and said, "Wang Yan is recruiting talents in Qingzhou, it must be to prepare for this battle, what can you do to stop it?" ”

Guo Tu said: "If the lord wants to stop it, it's actually very simple. ”

"How to deal with it?" Yuan Shao asked.

Seeing that Guo Tu said that it was very simple, Yuan Shao's heart relaxed a lot.

Guo Tu was confident and calm, and said slowly: "Chen Lin is brilliant under the main account, just ask Chen Lin to write an article to crusade against Wang Yan, and you can eliminate the impact of Wang Yan's recruitment order." At the same time, the money and grain under the main public account are basically ready, and before attacking Qingzhou, a reason to attack Qingzhou is also needed. Now it is just right for Chen Lin to write an article to crusade against Wang Yan. ”

Yuan Shao said happily: "It makes sense, you deal with this matter immediately." ”

"No!"

Guo Tu nodded in response, and immediately went to carry out the order.

Donglai County, Huang County!

During Wang Yan's reign, the bandits in Donglai County were basically extinct, and there were no more bandits to make trouble. The people who followed Tai Shi Ci and the grass were all disbanded.

In the courtyard, Tai Shici was chopping wood for his old mother.

At the turn of spring and summer, when the weather was cool, Tai Shici wore a single coat, and the axe in his hand kept falling, and a piece of wood was split in half and scattered on the ground. After chopping, Tai Shici looked at his mother and said, "Mother, my son will go and fetch some water again." ”

Zhang shook his head and said: "There is no problem with eating the water in the water tank for another two or three days, and there is no need to carry water." ”

Tai Shi Ci said again: "That son went hunting in the mountains and came back from hunting some game." It's the turn of spring and summer, and all the game in the mountains is coming out, which is just right. ”

Zhang said: "You only hunted a wild deer yesterday, enough to eat for ten days and a half months." ”

Tai Shi Ci thought for a while and said, "My son will go and see the others!" ”

Zhang said in a deep voice: "You sit down!" ”

Seeing this, Tai Shici had to sit down as he said. Seeing Zhang's serious expression, he felt uneasy in his heart, and said, "Mother, did your son do something wrong and make you angry?" ”

Zhang said: "You are very good, you didn't make my mother angry." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "In this case, why is my mother ......? ”

Zhang said: "You are an eight-foot man, you have learned martial arts, but you are at home all day long chopping wood, carrying water, doing laundry, cooking, and doing women's things. The man of the Taishi family, doing these things all day long, how can his mother be worthy of his ancestors? ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Mother, son, ......"

Zhang said again: "Mother heard from the people in the village that Lord Wang is already the history of Qingzhou. Now, Lord Wang has issued a recruitment order in all counties in Qingzhou, don't you plan to go? ”

Tai Shici said: "My son is still thinking about it! ”

"Consider, when do you want to think about it?" Zhang was furious and said loudly: "Last time you rejected Lord Wang's recruitment, now when are you going to think about it?" ”

After a pause, Zhang said directly: "Don't think about it, go directly." This time, don't take the official uniform that the king gave you in the past. Hmph, after such a long time, it's useless to take it again. ”

Tai Shi Ci scratched his head, but he was a little reluctant.

Zhang said: "If you don't go, don't come back to see me." The old man asked the people in the city, I heard that Lord Wang is going to fight with Yuan Shao, it is just right for you to go now. ”

Tai Shici didn't expect his mother to inquire so clearly for him, and he was ashamed in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, my son will go to Linzi County." ”

A smile appeared on Zhang's face, and he said, "Okay, okay, that's good." ”
