A month is fleeting.

With the powerful effect of the [Recruitment List], Ouyang Shuo is both happy and worried this month.

Happily, the effect of the [Recruitment List] is really extraordinary, and in just one month, more than 40 historical talents of different levels have been recruited for Great Xia, including many god-level masters like Zeng Guofan.

As soon as Zeng Guofan arrived, he was invited into the cabinet by Ouyang Shuo.

[Name]: Zeng Guofan (god-level)

[Title]: One of the top ten prime ministers in history

[Dynasty]: Qing Dynasty

[Identity]: The elder of the Great Xia Cabinet

[Occupation]: Civil official

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 80 [Force]: 40 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 98

[Specialty]: Name (increase the integrity of the territory by 40%, improve the efficiency of the territory by 25%, improve the humanistic level of the territory by 15%, and improve the level of governance of the territory by 30%)

[Classics]: "Nine Chapters of Law"

[Evaluation]: Zeng Gong has always known to know people, and he has learned many virtuous generals, and his deep knowledge is far-sighted, public and selfless, especially those who cannot be reached by the ancients. Although it is not known for being good at fighting, but can recognize and pull out virtuous generals, the planning is strict, and it can be found indispensably, so the group is effective, and the first hero of Zhongxing is also.

Zeng Guofan was born in a landlord family, diligent and studious since childhood, entered the school at the age of six, could read four books and recite the Five Classics at the age of eight, and could read the "Zhou Li" and "Historical Records" anthologies at the age of fourteen.

In the eighteenth year of Daoguang, he entered the Hanlin Academy and was a protégé of Mu Zhang, the minister of military aircraft. Retired cabinet bachelor, Ministry of Rites, Soldiers, Workers, Criminals, Officials Minister, official to Liangjiang Governor, Zhili Governor, Wuyingdian University Scholar, Feng Yi Yong Marquis, nicknamed "Wenzheng", later known as "Zeng Wenzheng".

During the Taiping Rebellion, the Hunan Army was formed to turn the tide and destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after many years of fierce battles.

Zeng Guofan devoted his life to the government with patience as the first priority, advocating that everything should be diligent and thrifty, and not be proud of officials. He cultivates himself and disciplines, seeks officials with virtue, gives priority to etiquette, and seeks government with loyalty.

At the initiative of Zeng Guofan, the Qing Dynasty built the first steamship in China, established the first military engineering school, printed and translated the first batch of Western books, and arranged the first batch of students to study in the United States.

It can be said that Zeng Guofan was a pioneer in the modernization of China.

The presence of such a figure who was familiar with the Westernization Movement and had great influence in the late Qing Dynasty entered the cabinet of Great Xia, and his influence on Great Xia was obvious.

Zeng Guofan chose to be a member of the Great Xia for many reasons, in addition to the influence of the [Recruitment List], as well as the invitation of his disciple Li Hongzhang, plus his ancestor Zengzi was also in Great Xia, so he came.

came with Zeng Guofan, as well as his younger brothers Zeng Guoquan and Zuo Zongtang, both of whom were born in the Hunan army.

Ouyang Shuo planned to expand the Guards at the right time, and Zeng Guoquan and Zuo Zongtang were one of the best candidates for the commander of the Guards.

At present, Ouyang Shuo arranged for the two to enter the First Legion of the Guards Army, and cooperated with the commander of the corps, Oda Nobunaga, to form and train the first firearms reorganization corps in Great Xia.

In addition to Zeng Guofan and his entourage, Cao Xueqin also came to Daxia.

Cao Xueqin's great-grandmother Sun was the nanny of Emperor Kangxi, and her grandfather Cao Yin was Emperor Kangxi's companion and imperial guard, and later served as Jiangning Weaving, and concurrently served as the salt inspector of the two Huai patrols.

In the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, the three generations of the Cao family and four people presided over the weaving of Jiangning for 58 years, the family background was prominent, powerful, extremely rich and noble, and became the first wealthy family in Nanjing at that time, and the world pushed it as a prestigious family.

Kangxi went to Jiangnan six times, and Cao Yin took over four times.

In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Cao Xueqin was thirteen years old, and in December, Cao Fu, the uncle of the then Jiangning weaver Wailang, was dismissed and imprisoned for harassing the post station, weaving deficits, and transferring property, and was raided before the Lantern Festival in the first month of the following year.

Cao Xueqin moved back to Beijing with the whole family, and the Cao family has been in decline since then.

Under such circumstances, Cao Xueqin naturally did not want to return to Kyoto and lived under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, Shanhai City has a prosperous humanistic atmosphere, no restrictions on literati, and an extremely open atmosphere, which is a suitable place to live.

With Cao Xueqin's entry into the Southwest University Hall, a system announcement spread throughout the Huaxia District.

"System announcement: Cao Xueqin, the representative of the family, became a prominent figure in Daxia, recruited disciples, and met the three conditions for the school to settle in, and the family of the hundred families of the sons officially settled in Daxia."

……

"System announcement: The House of Hundred Families of Zhuzi has officially settled in Great Xia, and the title of [Home Holy Land] of Shanhai City is specially given, and it will be rewarded with qualifications, congratulations to the player for having no clothes!"

……

"System announcement: Zhuzi Hundred Families officially settled in Great Xia, the existing title of Shanhai City [Hundred Holy Lands] will automatically cover the title of [Home Holy Land], cancel the relevant title rewards of [Home Holy Land], and give a hidden building [Wenhua Building] in Shanhai City as a reward, congratulations to the players for having no clothes!"

……

[Name]: Wenhua Building

[Type]: Hidden building

[Function]: Hang the portrait of the civil official in the building, and it can be resurrected without damage

[Characteristics]: Increase the attraction rate of civil officials by 20%, and increase the popularity of the territory by 5%

[Description]: This is a treasure building specially set up for civil officials, the lord can spend a certain amount of gold coins, invite a certain number of civil official portraits into the landlord, and resurrect once without damage.

The Mandarin Building has four floors, and the ground floor enshrines gold-level civil official portraits, with a maximum of 50 people and 10,000 gold coins per person; The second layer enshrines the portraits of king-level civil officials, with a maximum of 20 people and a cost of 50,000 gold coins per person.

The third layer enshrines the portraits of emperor-level civil officials, with a maximum of ten people and 200,000 gold coins per person. The top floor enshrines the portrait of a god-level civil official, with a maximum of three people, each costing millions of gold coins.

With Wenhua Building, the civil officials of Daxia have an extra layer of protection.

Because of the limited number, Ouyang Shuo made a rule that civil officials who were invited to Wenhua Building should be judged only by their political performance. Those who are the best in the annual assessment will be invited to their portraits into the Mandarin Building.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo also deliberately left ten places for old ministers like Gu Xiuwen and Zhao Dexian.

The arrival of Zeng Guofan, Cao Xueqin and others is just a microcosm of this talent flow, and half of the more than 40 historical talents came from the Qing Dynasty.

This is also understandable.

If it weren't for the lack of choice, several Hanchens, especially aspiring Hanchens, were willing to serve under the Manchu dynasty. After appearing in the wilderness, Great Xia gained the orthodoxy of the world, which was naturally their best choice.

Not to mention, there are also Li Hongzhang, Zhang Tingyu and Tian Wenjing and others.

As for the Ming Dynasty, most of them are prime ministers, like merchants, although they were born in the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty in the wilderness is only a county, and there is no room for them to play, so they will naturally go to another door.

The arrival of this batch of civil officials has greatly consolidated the civil official heritage of Great Xia, and it can almost be on par with the military general group. Of course, there may be problems of one kind or another.

In addition, there is a surprise in this month's Great Xia.
