The three passes were already linked to each other, and if the underworld was lost, the remnants of Yuan Shu were also unable to defend in the big tunnel and Zhiyuan, and soon the good news of the three passes was sent to the Jinling General's mansion.

At this point, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun attacked from east to west and met in Fuyang......

In Jinling City, in addition to the joy brought by the frequent good news, there was also a "strange news".

Since Pang Tong's proposal, the selection test and the recruitment hall began to focus on recruiting talents in "organ science".

Although it has caused some criticism, there are also some grassroots selection tests, talent halls, and passive cooperation, but ...... You can be negative, and the "performance" will be reflected, especially if there is a corresponding talent, and it is rejected at the township level, but it is accepted at the county level and the county level, the officials will also check the previous records and question the reason for the refusal.

So he dared to go too far...... The grassroots officials who use their own will to "correct" the decrees of the General's Office can only be banned.

For a time, in some "small winds and small waves", a large number of institutional scholars were recruited by the General's Mansion.

After all, it is said that it is a talent of institutional studies, which seems a bit lofty, but in fact, it ...... It's a craftsman!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, although industry and commerce were not classified as lowly industries, even if they were famous craftsmen, their status was far inferior to that of officials.

Especially after respecting Confucianism alone, it is also a fool's dream to want to be among the bureaucrats by virtue of "craftsmanship" alone.

The papermaking and printing of white pictures can become the "first pot of gold" of fame, thanks to the educational power of paper and the ensuing model of Mongolian learning.

Otherwise, it's just an invention of a watermill and a textile machine...... Even if the steam engine is directly invented, I am afraid that it will not make any waves, at most, after improving productivity, the performance of local officials will be better, and after the imperial court commends the officials, the local governor will commend the inventors......

It is as if the Jenny textile machine can set off a wave of industrialization, and the Huang Daopo textile machine of the Yuan Dynasty is similar and hundreds of years earlier...... The name of the inventor has not been left behind, and it is only after modern times that it has been used as a key propaganda figure.

Baitu directly recruits "craftsmen" from the channels of the Naxian Museum, and selects the best ones, but they can be in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for famous craftsmen, and even not only in Yangzhou, but also in the Central Plains and Jingzhou, where craftsmen come to hear the news.

After all, even if they failed to enter the two departments, the demand for craftsmen in Yangzhou was greater and the treatment was better.

Of course, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not to keep them away from the front line and waste their talents to make decisions, but to give them treatment - the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have the rank of officials of the "craftsman" department, up to the "big sacrificial wine", nominally the same level as the department.

It was at this time that there was a "strange news" in Jinling......

A carpenter shop in the west of the city, was coiled down by an "unknown person", erected a wooden pole at the signboard, and tied a wooden kite on the pole, not only from the joints to the wings are vivid, but also the slightest wind blows, then the wings, claws, beaks are all moving, flying around the pole, crying endlessly!

If you change to a stupid and closed place, maybe it will be regarded as something strange and chaotic, attracting fear, and blind hostility or worship, and you will ...... in Jinling The people were just amazed.

After Jinling ordered Gu Yong to learn the news, he took the initiative to go to the meeting - recommending institutional scholars is also the duty of the current officials of the General's Mansion, and now that people have clearly posted the three words of institutional learning at the door, he naturally has no reason not to go.

However, this also made some officials dissatisfied, thinking that this craftsman was too clever and arrogant!

Since you came to Jinling and have the intention of seeking officials, why don't you come to Naxian Hall by yourself? Do you want to pay a personal visit to the county order?

Of course, if it is like this for Confucianism, everyone will think that it is normal - the extreme of double standards is to fundamentally think that the two are different, and they are not aware of their double standards......

Fortunately, Gu Yong is not only a descendant of the Gu family, but also has always been known for his humility and fairness, so Bai Tu will hand over the important position of Jinling Ling to him.

Although it is only a county order, everyone knows that the Jinling order is much more important than the general county order! Even if Jinling, the county order, can't say anything in the "county" at all......

However, after the reform of the Criminal Department, the "burden" of the county order has also been lightened a lot, and the trial power has gradually been stripped from the hands of the county order, Gu Yong does not have to worry about the major families and nobles causing trouble in Jinling - the case litigation in Jinling will be directly submitted to the headquarters of the Criminal Department.

Gu Yong came to this new small shop, first looked at the wooden kite that was spread amazingly, sighed, and then went in hoping to talk to his master, but ...... But I ate a closed-door tea.

It's really a closed-door tea - after the entrance, with Gu Yong's cultivation, his face changed for a moment, and finally he couldn't hold back the abnormality and left with his face shutting down.

Bitter, bitter in the heart!

The Eastern Han Dynasty has not yet fried tea, and the tea culture is still very rudimentary, mainly boiling tea, but there is already a large audience, especially when the literati are in formal occasions and are not good at drinking, they all drink tea.

It's just that Gu Yong has never tasted such a bitter tea, and even after leaving, he went to the medical school to take a look - until the medical school, the bitter taste in his mouth has not dissipated, and Gu Yong is afraid that someone has poisoned it!

However, Hua Tuo's words made Gu Yong feel at ease.

It's not poisonous, nor is it a bad thing, but the common Gaolu tea in Jiaozhou.

Although it is close to Yangzhou, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it undoubtedly belongs to the category of "poor mountains and bad waters", and the different climate and environment have been plagued by mosquitoes and miasma, which makes people have additional prejudice against it, and Gu Yong has not been there......

However, in order to find medicine, Hua Tuo had been to Jiaozhou and tasted this Gaolu tea, and he had a very deep impression of this kind of "tea" used by Jiaoguang people to entertain guests, and Gu Yong recognized Hua Tuo as soon as he opened his mouth, but he ...... Judging from Gu Yong's description, it is likely to be an increased version!

Gaolu tea is also known as Kuding tea in later generations, although it is extremely bitter, some people are addicted to it, but generally speaking, one bud in a bucket of boiling water is enough, and two or three buds are already extremely bitter......

And judging from Gu Yong's feelings, the other party is definitely not full of enthusiasm or enthusiasm, or he is doing things!

As soon as he entered, a maid came out, carefully poured the tea, and said: "The owner is not feeling well, he needs to rest, if the adults can wait, they will come out after a pot of tea." ”

Now that Gu Yong thinks about it, the maid is clearly weak-hearted......

Time to return a pot of tea? You have to drink a pot of tea to see me, right?

That is, Gu Yong, who is a "good man" on weekdays, is also praised for treating his enemies fairly in history, so if he just drinks a bitter tea, it doesn't make him hate anything.

It's just that......

The stiff base of his tongue made him not want to go again.

A pot of tea can only make the host see him, so what about the solicitation after that? Judging from the current attitude, it is clear that you are not welcome!

What's more, in essence, Gu Yong is too fond of craftsmen for Bai Tu, but in fact, he has a slight opinion, thinking that this has a tendency to emphasize skills and ignore morality.

If these people are given good treatment, if the people value technology and despise morality in the future, how can they achieve world governance?

So after trying it once, Gu Yong reported the situation truthfully, and had no intention of "challenging" it again.

Gu Yong's idea cannot be said to be completely wrong, and it also represents a large part of Confucianism's thoughts, but relatively speaking, Confucianism trusts this world too much, thinking that as long as the world is regulated with etiquette and virtue, it can have a stable life for thousands of generations.

But no matter how barren the land of China is, it will not be able to get used to this stinky problem......

And with the continuous development of human beings, sooner or later they will realize that there is no place rich enough to make people so willful.

After Bai Tu learned about this, he also took Lu Lingqi and the civilian clothes guard who was secretly protecting him, and went to this shop that did not sell anything without his identity.

The reason why he hid his identity was because Bai Tu didn't want to put too much pressure on the other party, and it was also to leave room for relaxation, even if this solicitation failed, no one else knew.

As soon as Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi entered the door, saying that they were going to visit the owner, it was the little maid who came out, and some of them reluctantly brought Bai Tu a pot of tea - when they poured it out, Bai Tu found that the tea was a little green!

"The proprietor hasn't gotten up yet, if the guests can wait, a pot of tea will come out." After the maid finished speaking, she bowed her head and left embarrassedly.

During this period, Lu Lingqi kept glaring at her......

Maybe it's the reason why two people came, and they poured two pots of tea!

"Hey! Do we really want to drink? Lu Lingqi asked Bai Tu.

"If I endure this little hardship, I can make it more convenient for the people and have fewer casualties among the soldiers, so why don't I eat it?" Bai Tu said awe-inspiringly.

Lu Lingqi looked at him in surprise.

"I'm saying it here, will others know?" Bai Tu asked rhetorically.

Lu Lingqi looked around, and then said, "It seems that no one else hears it." ”

"Then you don't write it down!" Bai Tu urged.

Lv Lingqi: ......

Bai Tu picked up the teacup, brought it to his mouth, and sipped it slightly, and suddenly his face wrinkled into chrysanthemums.

It seems that drinking like this is not the way - Bai Tu gritted his teeth, directly drank a small cup, and then quickly took out a Shu brocade bag from his waist, poured out a rock candy and put it in his mouth, and after snorting for a while, it gradually eased up.

Lu Lingqi originally wanted to share it, but Bai Tu swept her hand away: "Hua Lao said that it was not good to drink it when I was in the moon. ”

"Phew! How do you know ......" Lu Lingqi glared angrily, and didn't know how to condemn it, so she had to keep silent.

How does the white picture know?

Morning exercise will be stopped for these days every month, why doesn't Bai Tu know?

I saw Bai Tu with a cup of tea and a piece of sugar, his face kept switching, and after a pot of tea, he finally drank two pots of tea......

At this moment, the maid walked in at the right time and said, "I'm really sorry for the guests, the proprietor is a little cold, so the roasting fire will come out, please come to the inner hall to rest, there are chairs there, it is more comfortable." ”

Lu Lingqi already wanted to beat people, after all, women had no self-control at this time, but Bai Tu stopped her in time - not to mention that Bai Tu came for talents, let alone ...... Tea can't be drunk in vain, can it?

When he came to the inner hall, Bai Tu realized that there were still chairs here, and he didn't know why he was kneeling just now!

It's just a chair in the inner hall......

It looks so big and thick, and not only has handrails, but even in the position of the armrests and hems, the arms and legs can be embedded in it, but the surface is covered with animal skins, and the inside is ...... Seems potholed?

"Are you guys a torture chair?" Lu Lingqi asked unceremoniously.

"The guest misunderstood, this is the proud work of the owner, as long as the wheel is turned, this chair will have the effect of a pestle."

Case, that is, massage massage.

The maid lowered her head embarrassedly, but she didn't stop saying, "Maybe it's a hundred weeks, and the owner will be able to come out." After saying that, he immediately ran out.
