Chapter 181: The Battle for Talent
After listening to Wang Xu's thoughts, Xu Shu pondered for a long time before raising her head and smiling slightly: "Husband, I can't help you refer to this kind of general trend in the world." But now that you've made up your mind, I have a little bit of a plan. ”
"Oh? If you have a good word, you will be rewarded! Wang Xu suddenly smiled.
Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly glanced at Wang Xu angrily: "I don't want your reward, return the general, isn't it just a thief general?" What's there to be proud of? ”
"Reward you with a bunch of fat sons, you are always rare...... but before the words were finished, Xu Shu, who was flushed, had already grabbed his waist violently, twisted it fiercely, and said: "Why don't you have a good look, I'll talk to you about business!" ”
"Shhh...... Tap, tap! Good! I'm down to business, I'm going to get down to business! ”
Coaxed Xu Shu to let go of his hand, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Hey! I really don't know how you came up with this trick, and I thought you forgot! ”
"Humph! Who made you so bad. Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly blushed and glared at Wang Xu.
"Alright! Can't I admit it? Don't you have something to say? Let's talk about it! After speaking, Wang Xu couldn't help but rub the place where he was pinched.
Xu Shuwan smiled, but she didn't entangle anymore, and immediately said, "You! Now that there is a big stall in Lingling County, you are not in a hurry, and you are still in the mood to joke! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly waved his hand indifferently: "What's the matter?" When I go back and purge the thieves in Lingling, and issue a few more decrees, everything will be done! What's so hard about a county in a mere place? ”
"Yes, Wang Taishou! You are rich and five cars, and you are only eight buckets high, and as soon as the government decrees, the people of Manjun will consciously implement it, isn't it? After speaking, Xu Shu said a little angrily: "You don't know if you are in charge, there are still a few low-level officials left in the current Taishou Mansion in Lingling County, I want to see how your decree is implemented!" ”
As soon as Xu Shu's words came out, Wang Xu immediately reacted, and immediately frowned: "You mean to say that I am now the commander of the light pole?" ”
"Huh! You can't say that! You still have quite a lot of soldiers, more than 9,000 people, how can you say that you are the commander of the light pole? It makes sense that the bare pole is too guarded. Laughing and teasing Wang Xu, Xu Shu saw that his face was a little unsightly, but he didn't make any more blows, sighed and continued: "Hey! You have to worry about it in the future, after the former Lingling Taishou was killed by Ou Xing, there were not a few officials left in Lingling, and all departments were almost paralyzed and in chaos. After I came, I asked my eldest brother Wang Kai and second brother Wang Fei to carry out military control over the whole county, but they were temporarily controlled, and both of them are still sitting in the county capital Quanling! But there are more troublesome things, you look at the group of people under you, you let them carry out the decree? Do you think it's better to let Han Meng manage farming? Or let Guan Hai investigate the lives of the people? Or let Gao Shun study some water conservancy facilities? ”
"This ......" Hearing this, Wang Xu scratched his head with a headache, and finally remembered his biggest problem. There are all a bunch of warriors with sharp blades, but there is no professional pen and pole.
Seeing this, Xu Shu smiled slightly and said softly: "Okay, don't worry too much." I'll take a step forward first, but I've also helped you think of a few ways to do it, you can use it as a reference! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but look at Xu Shu, and suddenly felt very moved in his heart. It's not as simple as talking about it to provoke the big beam, and I don't know what kind of hard work Xu Shu has worked in this time, but I haven't seen her complain a word from the beginning to the present. Thinking of this, he felt a heartache, and he didn't rush to answer, but sighed softly: "Wife, I've really hurt you all these years." Actually, you don't have to work so hard, I feel distressed when I look at it! ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, but then she slowly showed a smile. Maybe it's satisfaction, maybe it's relief, maybe it's joy, anyway, Wang Xu just feels that smile is beautiful.
But after a while, Xu Shu glanced at Wang Xu with disgust: "Why are you so numb now, saying something makes people have goosebumps all over your body." After speaking, he shook his head contrivedly, and then opened the topic and said, "Okay! Let me tell you, the quickest way to solve the current problem is to recall the officials who are in hiding everywhere, and you just need to give an order to blame those middle and low-level officials for the past, so that they will naturally come out. Then let them perform their duties, so that they can quickly resume the operation of the Taishou Mansion and the county governments in various places, and then pass the current hurdle first. High-ranking officials can be promoted, or those who are famous among the people and have some talent. So, these are actually not difficult, what is really difficult is that you need a few people who can really help you coordinate and run the entire Lingling County now. ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Wang Xu also nodded in agreement, but then sighed: "This minister and strategist is not easy to find!" Besides, even if you find it, if you call someone else, he won't necessarily come. Now that the world is not chaotic, those people either see through the chaos of the world and hide at home to study; or a strong desire to revive the dynasty; Otherwise, there is no plan to become a leader for the time being; Even if the emperor and the Three Dukes' Mansion recruited a lot of people who didn't want to go, how could they follow me to this remote place. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu immediately raised her eyebrows, and said with dissatisfaction: "Who asked you to find those virtuous ministers who have left their names in history, now they are just managing a county, and those who are two grades worse can also be!" Anyway, I've heard about three of them right now, so you can do it yourself! ”
"Oh? Who is it? Wang Xu suddenly wondered.
Xu Shu did not hesitate, when he spoke: "One is called Liu Xian, the other is called Liu Qian, the two are relatives in the next room, and they are both members of the Liu family in Haoyang County. He has a good reputation among the people, and he is also very talented. ”
"Huh? Liu Xian of Lingling County? Isn't that the uncle of the prodigy Zhou Budo? first worked in another family under Liu Biao, and then with Liu Cong's surrender to Cao, step by step, he has always achieved Shangshuling! ”
Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly glanced at Wang Xu in surprise: "Is this person very powerful in history?" ”
"Nope! In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, he could only be regarded as a relatively good talent. The reason why he remembers him is entirely because of his prodigy nephew Zhou Budo. This week, there is no doubt that he is a genius that Liu Biao and Liu Bei are quite admired, and he has never been able to find a suitable teacher for him. Later, when he was seventeen years old, he was jealous of Cao Cao and was assassinated directly! After speaking, Wang Xu sighed twice, and didn't want to say more about these irrelevant things, so he continued: "As for Liu Qi, I can't remember, maybe he is also a senior official under Liu Biao's account!" But what's going on with the Liu family in Haoyang? Now that Liu Biaodu is still in Luoyang as a candidate in the Northern Army, how could there be another Liu family. ”
Xu Shu suddenly smiled: "You don't know this!" According to the investigation of the second brother Wang Fei, this Liu family is a big family in Jingzhou! ”
"Oh? I really haven't paid attention to this, I only know the six major families in Xiangyang! It seems that the problem of the noble family is more complicated than imagined, and I will study it carefully in the future. After speaking, Wang Xu pondered for a moment, and then turned to ask, "What about the other person?" ”
"There is another person named Pang Ji, who is a descendant of the Pang family in Xiangyang, and currently lives in Zhaoling County, Changsha."
"Changsha's? I'm afraid that's not good! Now he and Sun Jian are also neighbors, and now they are just crossing the border to poach people, and it will be difficult to get along in the future! As a last resort, I don't want to have a conflict with him for the time being. Wang Xu hesitated a little.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, he came to dig people first, we didn't say anything, and he naturally didn't care." ”
"Huh? Who did you dig up? ”
"The county capital Quanling County, Huang Gai, Huang Gongfu!" After slowly saying this person's name, Xu Shu said with some grievances: "Actually, I also heard at that time that the letters between me and Sun Jian arrived one after another, but in the end we went to Sun Jian's place. Because Sun Jian later rode a fast horse to invite him, but you were not there at that time, and no one on our side was qualified to fight. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but complain: "Hey! It's still my fault, if I had arrived earlier, Huang Gai wouldn't have been able to dig it out of his turn, and now it's really a big loss!"
After speaking, the more Wang Xu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he couldn't help but say with annoyance: "In the future, we must continue to inquire about the talented people in Changsha and dig them up as much as possible!" Where can a single Pang Ji catch up with Huang Gongfu? No, Liu Xian and I have to start first, and when Sun Jian recovers, he will definitely need a large number of literati, and he must not be given another chance! Saying that, Wang Xu didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately picked up the blank silk silk and brush on the handsome case, and after a little condensation, he was already waving a book......
After sending people to send these letters out as soon as possible, Wang Xu was not idle and began to take over all aspects of affairs from Xu Shu. And at this time, Wang Xu also knew how tired Xu Shu was! He was also dizzy when Xu Shu was watching while explaining. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I barely understood the general situation of the thirteen counties in Lingling County!
In the early morning of the second day, Wang Xu, who was in a hurry to return to the county capital Quanling, directly handed over the command of the army to Gao Shun, and he himself took Xu Shu to return first!
In the evening, when Wang Xu entered the Taishou Mansion under the leadership of Xu Shu and appeared in front of the busy Wang Kai and Wang Fei, the three brothers who had not been reunited for many years were all excited and could not control themselves, and tears flashed in their eyes! Wang Xu bowed deeply to Wang Kai, unable to say anything. After all, without Wang Kai, he would not have had more than two years of experience, and he would not have grown so much, so he could only waste these two and a half years in a dark prison.
And Wang Kai has also changed a lot, he has lost the sense of distance in his memory, and he is more mature, and he is already very scholarly. In the face of Wang Xu's bow, he accepted it, but he didn't say anything, just quickly helped Wang Xu up and said something that made Wang Xu almost cry on the spot. "I accept your bow, even if you repay what you owe me, I hope you can be more productive in the future and win glory for my royal family!"
Although Wang Xu had tears in his eyes, he also did not speak, but nodded very firmly.
The joy of reunion always makes it difficult to calm down, and several people seem to forget that there is still a lot of work to be done, and they sit down one after another, as if they have endless words. Among them, Wang Xu and Wang Kai's favorite thing to listen to is Wang Fei and Xu Shu talking about family affairs, and their eyes are involuntarily full of nostalgia.
Wang Kai spent two and a half years in a cold prison, so he naturally has an unimaginable attachment to home. And Wang Xu is the same, it's okay not to mention it, once it is mentioned, the kind of longing for family that is suppressed in the depths of his heart is like a volcano erupting.
Speaking of which, it has been four years since he left home to go on the expedition, less than two months away! Although he is not revealed in front of others on weekdays, in the dead of night, he always misses his parents at home, his two aunts who love him, his younger brothers and sisters, his relatives, and everyone in the Wang family compound!
