Jia Xu groaned slightly, and replied: "In the state pastor's mansion, there is a book Cao engaged in, and the main wealth valley book is the one who makes the king point out, but do you want to choose another talent?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Book Cao is engaged in one position, I am going to divide it into two, one should be exchanged with documents, and there is also scripture education, and one person will be responsible for it. For the former, I have an extremely suitable candidate, and for the latter, I have never had a clue. ”

"What the envoy said, but Cai Weng?"

Lu Bu clapped his palms, nodded and praised: "Mr. Gaojian, you can guess it, Cai Weng is famous all over the world, and he was an official in Luoyang, and the correspondence between the imperial court and the state and county, it is very appropriate to hand it over to him, besides, he is a great Confucian in the world, familiar with the classics, and if the scripture education is not handed over to him, I really can't think of who to hand it over." ”

Jia Xu paced a few steps and hesitated: "This, this kind of position is easy for Cai Weng, but I'm afraid that he is unwilling, and the court ......."

Jia Xu hesitated and didn't say it thoroughly, but the meaning, Lu Bu was very clear, and said with a smile at the moment: "The court has been abolished several times, the royal majesty has disappeared, and whether the imperial court decree can be issued in Luoyang is between the two countries, not to mention the annexation of the state thousands of miles away." However, Mr. can not ignore his concerns, on the surface, in the official document, we still have to follow the law, but the actual work, we can do it according to our actual situation. It's a big deal, the matter of Caigu's taxation is still handed over to the bookkeeper Cao to manage, and Cai Weng is a staff member to handle all the correspondence and scripture education for me. What does the gentleman think? ”

"Well, this method is very wonderful, not only to get its benefits, but also to avoid criticism from people with a heart."

Lu Bu was very satisfied, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, this matter is settled." There is another matter, related to Mr., I plan to invest manpower, material and financial resources to build a spy team, and hand it over to Mr. in charge, how about it? ”

"Spy?!"

Jia Xu's face showed a solemn expression, his eyes were blazing, and he asked, "But is it different from the secret spy report of the scout sentry?" ”

"Exactly!"

Lu Bu also had a solemn face, knocked his fingers on the desk, and said leisurely: "When I was in Hedong, such a major event as the death of the Taiwei in Luoyang, I only learned the news after a few days. At that time, in the future, once the world's heroes rise together, our eyes will be black, and we will not know anything about the enemy, how can we compete with the world's heroes. Therefore, the espionage system must start planning now, even if it costs some manpower and financial resources. And I have no second person to preside over this matter other than Mr. ”

This sentence, listening to Jia Xu's ears, has a special taste in his heart, from the middle, he realized Lu Bu's unconditional trust in him, so he can rest assured that such a matter of great importance will be handed over to him.

Jia Xu took three steps forward, came to Lu Bu, bowed to the ground, and said earnestly: "Make the king love, and you should do your best......"

"Good!"

Lu Bu got up, helped Jia Xu with both hands, and said loudly: "With Mr.'s words, I am relieved, as soon as I need it, Mr. directly told me that no one else has the right to interfere." ”

agreed on three major events in a row, not only Lu Bu, but even Jia Xu, who was old and serious, was also happy.

But Lu Bu lamented the talent problem, he still has nothing to do.

Even the talent in charge of Caigu's taxation, since Jia Xu has never recommended the person he thinks is suitable, he must not have seen a person who meets Lu Bu's needs, Lu Bu will inform Jia Xu about his visit to the Wang family in Qi County, and tell Jia Xu about his intention to recruit Wang Ling, who is not yet an underage, which provokes Jia Xu to pac and ponder.

Jia Xu seems to have put a lot of effort into the state, whether it is the general geographical trend, the population tax, or the local wealthy families mentioned by Lu Bu, he knows a lot.

He returned to the desk and took a seat, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Wang family of Qi County is a well-known official family in Jinzhong, and the prince has been praised as "Wang Zuozhicai" by Guo Linzong, a famous scholar in the same county, since he was a child. In addition, the Wen family of Qi County, the Wang family of Jinyang, and the Guo family of Jiexiu are all local families. ”

"So, Mr. has no objection to my move to recruit Wang Ling?"

"Exactly!"

Jia Xu replied, "Let the king release this kindness, Wang Situ will not take it lightly, today's Luoyang, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is just the result of mutual checks and balances between all parties, it is difficult to last, Wang Situ is trying his best, wanting to support the court, without foreign aid, he is also powerless." ”

Lu Bu smiled, did not hide his intentions, and said: "I didn't think of getting involved in the chaos in Luoyang, and I had a deep relationship with Ziyan (PS: Li Su), and I just took what I needed, not an alliance, and I would do the same with Wang Situ." ”

"Well, I understand, you just don't want to have trouble with the Wang family."

Lu Bu showed a helpless expression, spread his hands, and said: "Alas, there is no way, no matter where it is, the available talents are mostly from the big families in various places, and if I want to take root in Bingzhou, I have to have a good relationship with these big families." However, there are no absolutes in everything, and if there are such disobedient families who even go against me, I don't mind slaughtering those two families. ”

Jia Xu's heart sank, and from Lu Bu's bland words, he heard incomparably firm determination and incomparably murderous aura.

It's just that he didn't understand for a while, in what matter, there would be a big family who would dare to go against the state pastor in front of him, who was holding a heavy army.

Lu Bu Haha smiled and explained: "Since I am now in charge of the state, and taxes are related to life and death, I naturally do not allow those big families to play tricks on this, I can give them preferential treatment and give them privileges, but they can't play yin and yang tricks for me when I should pay taxes." ”

Seeing that Jia Xu was a little moved, Lu Bu smiled, relaxed his tone, and continued: "This matter is to worry about later, and now we are talking about recruiting talents." Well, in this way, I will issue a recruitment order within my jurisdiction, regardless of background, regardless of age, as long as there is a skill, I will try my best to use it, what does Mr. think? ”

As soon as the words fell, Jia Xu clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this method is very wonderful, quite like the ancients' "a thousand gold buys horse bones, and stationed in Taiwan from the beginning", so that you have this mind, and you are very convinced. ”

Lu Bu blinked his eyes, looked at Jia Xu with a happy face, and asked a sentence that almost made Jia Xu vomit blood: "This, sir, what does it mean to buy horse bones with a daughter's daughter and stay in Taiwan since Kui began"? ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a while, Huo Di hahadaxiao, and then explained in detail to Lu Bu, which made Lu Bu suddenly realize, and said in his heart: It turned out that this was such a thing, no wonder.

These are two allusions, both of which are contained in the [Warring States Policy. Yan Ce], what he said, is that the lord is eager to seek talents, and set a benchmark through practical actions to attract talents to vote.

Lu Bu is just familiar with the classics related to the Han Dynasty, [Warring States Policy], [Spring and Autumn] or something, for him, he has only heard of his name, and he has never read it through, and he is at a loss to know the meaning of these two sentences, which is a matter of course.

Now that another major matter has been resolved, the two of them are still discussing with great interest without realizing that the night is late. It wasn't until the sound of the coming hour came that Jia Xu suddenly came to his senses, raised his hand and slapped his forehead, and exclaimed: "The envoy has just arrived, the road is hard, but Xu has been disturbed so late at night, it is better to rest early, these many things, it is not too late to discuss them slowly in the future." ”

Lu Bu didn't think it at all, but now that Jia Xu reminded him, he suddenly felt an incomparable fatigue coming, and immediately yawned a lot, and said with a smile: "Also, discussing with Mr. has gained a lot, and I forgot the time unconsciously." In the next few days, I am going to visit the family in Jinyang, and Mr. will not let anyone draw up a list for me. ”

Jia Xu nodded in agreement and left.

Lu Bu also got out of the study, sent Jia Xu away, and walked slowly to the bedroom.

His wife, Yan, and his young daughter, Qiling, have now left Luoyang and are on their way to Taiyuan, but they set off later than Cai Yong, and they are estimated to arrive before the end of the year. Therefore, there is a huge Thorn History Mansion, and now there is only Lu Bu in the State Pastoral Mansion, and the domestic servants and maids have not yet been recruited, and they seem deserted everywhere.

When he returned to the bedroom and finished freshening up, Lu Bu lost his sleepiness for a while, blew out the lights and candles, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes and meditated there.

What he was thinking about was the "recruitment order" that had just been discussed with Jia Xu, in fact, this idea was derived from Cao Cao's "meritocracy" employment policy and strategy in memory, although he could only face the territory of Bingzhou this time, but in fact, with the exchange of personnel from all over the country, it will definitely gradually spread to Youzhou, Jizhou, Hanoi, and Hedong adjacent to Bingzhou.

Lu Bu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was even more full of expectations!
