The air after the heavy snow is unusually cold.

Zhang Xi, who was standing at the door of the Recruitment Hall, had no time to feel the coldness for the time being, and he was about to face an important interview.

No matter what the interview is, even if you think it's a formality, you should still be nervous.

After silently reciting the "interview speech" in my heart for a while, I felt that there was no problem, so I took a deep breath, tidied up my clothes, took out my name card, and went to knock on the door.

The door rang three times, and he stood sideways by the door, waiting for someone to open the door.

This is the rule of visiting.

Zhang Xi didn't know what the rules of the Zhaoxian Hall were, so since this was the case, it was better to follow the rules of visiting.

After standing and waiting for about ten seconds, the door opened inside.

The one who opened the door was a big man, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, and he was full of bulging bodies, and at first glance he was the kind of master with very developed muscles.

The most terrible thing is a pair of eyes, blazing without saying anything, and looking at Zhang Xi with vigilance and suspicion, without any movement for a long time.

Zhang Xi was very uncomfortable.

It's not because it's uncomfortable to be stared at, but a kind of cognition from the subconscious tells Zhang Xi that this kind of scrutinizing gaze from the big man who opens the door is a very rude behavior, and the most important thing Zhang Xi should do at this time is to brush his sleeves away.

Can......

Zhang Xi cleaned up his mood, put on a smiling face, bowed and saluted, and then said to the big man who opened the door, "In Xia Zhangxi, the character is long, and the people from Yingchuan are here to visit the owner of the museum, please report on your behalf." ”

No way, we're here to look for a job, can't we give up an interview opportunity just because the front desk has a bad face...... That's why Zhang Xi finally made his decision.

When the big man who opened the door heard this, his face changed slightly, and his original scrutinizing gaze disappeared directly, revealing a look of disdain in his eyes.

"Wait here, don't trespass!"

After Dahan said this, he took Zhang Xi's greeting post, and didn't look at Zhang Xi's reaction, and turned around and went directly into the back room.

Zhang Xi was also a little nervous at this time, mainly because the big man's disdainful expression was too obvious, and he felt that he was afraid that you didn't know how he looked down on you.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, people look down on you clearly, and you can still talk to others with a smile on your face...... Well, Zhang Xi can't do it anyway.

At this time, Zhang Xi really wanted to leave directly.

But the problem is that the post has already been sent out, and it is not something you can leave if you want to.

If you feel humiliated just now, you don't give a prayer post and just turn around and leave, and everyone will only say that it is Liu Yuanjun's disrespectful talent, but now you give a worship post but don't see the master, which means that Zhang Xi doesn't look down on Liu Yuanjun.

Although, whether in history or in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei seems to treat talents quite well, as long as he doesn't die like Peng Yi, at most he won't be reused...... But do you dare to bet?!

After thinking about it, Zhang Xi still decided to endure this evil breath for the time being, and stood at the door and waited quietly.

Originally, Zhang Xi felt that with the attitude of that big man, it was difficult to say when he would report it, and he was even ready to be hung out.

But in fact, Zhang Xi didn't wait too long, and saw the big man following behind a middle-aged man with a black face, and the middle-aged man walked quickly towards the door with a smile on his face.

"The Magi are coming, and they are not honored to be far away, but they hope that they will forgive their sins and forgive their sins."

The middle-aged man came to the door, faced Zhang Xi, and bowed directly without saying a word

Zhang Xi saw this posture, and hurriedly saluted, and said in his mouth, "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"

And then I couldn't go on.

If you want to say something polite, you have to figure out the identity of the other party, and the identity of the other party is not difficult, just now the person introduced himself...... Then Zhang Xi was a little stupid.

"Prepared"?

What "prepared"?!

In Xinye County, in the recruitment hall, people who claim to be "very honored" ...... It can't be his surname Zhang!

Zhang Xi, who reacted, was a little embarrassed for a while, but Liu Bei didn't, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Xi's wrist, smiled and led Zhang Xi inside, and said, "Set up this recruitment hall, just to see the world's wise men, I am fortunate to know Mr. today, and go into the house with a talk, how about it?!" ”

Zhang Xi was pulled by Liu Bei, and walked to the Zhaoxian Hall...... At this time, if you can't react, then you really don't need to go in and talk about it, and this interview will end at the door.

Zhang Xi, who reacted, hurriedly relaxed his body and walked towards the Zhaoxian Pavilion under the guidance of Liu Bei, and at the same time responded with a smile on his face, "In this way, there will be Lao Liu Envoy!" ”

Liu Bei still didn't say anything, and took Zhang Xi into the front hall of the Zhaoxian Pavilion and sat down as guests.

After sitting down, Zhang Xi didn't wait for Liu Bei to speak, and took the initiative to speak first.

"Xiang Wen Liu made Jun benevolent and righteous spread in the world, and he was thirsty for talent, and when he saw it today, it was really true..... Fortunately, fortunately! ”

I have to make up for it, compliment this boss, and pat the ass to improve my favorability..... Otherwise, if you are stunned at the door just now, what if people think that you are too slow to react or have no eyesight to see?

Interview first impressions matter.

But for this matter, Zhang Xi really can't blame himself.

Who have you ever seen for an interview with the company, and the personnel manager didn't come forward first, but met the boss directly?!

Originally, Zhang Xi thought that when he came to the Zhaoxian Hall for an interview, the most he could do was to see a certain Wenchen under Liu Bei, and if he could see Jian Yong, Mizhu and others, he would already burn high incense.

Who would have thought that Liu Bei would be a Yuzhou pastor, General Zuo, and squatting in a recruitment hall with nothing to do?!

Liu Bei faced Zhang Xi's compliment, but he only smiled slightly and said, "Don't dare, don't dare..... Mr. is a native of Yingchuan, but I don't know why he came to Jingzhou?! ”

Hawkers, this Liu Bei...... I don't seem to eat this set.

Also, among the heroes who can get out in troubled times, which one eats the set of whiskers and horses, even Yuan Shu will not eat this set.

Since Liu Bei doesn't eat this set, Zhang Xi can't continue to compliment, otherwise he will become a sycophant.

Adjusting his mentality a little, Zhang Xi replied in accordance with the practice of memorizing the answers of Chinese scholars, "Xi came from Yingchuan, and wanted to go to Xiangyang Pound Gong to study, passing through here, I heard that Liu Envoyjun was recruiting talents, and he was eager to seek talents, so he specially recommended himself!" ”

It's not easy to talk about the separation of the family, so Zhang Xi found a study tour.

In the Han Dynasty, it was normal to study abroad, and Liu Bei also studied in his early years, and therefore studied under the name of the great Confucian Lu Zhi.

And there are rules for study tours.

Only when a teacher has learned all the knowledge and got the teacher's permission can he be qualified to study abroad, in other words, without a certain amount of knowledge reserves, he is not qualified to study abroad.

The reason for the prevalence of study tours is also that the Han Dynasty adopted a probationary system, and if you want to enter the office, you must have officials to recommend you, and studying in various places is also a means to make friends with scholars from all over the world, and then make friends with officials from all over the world.

When Zhang Xi said this, he told Liu Bei that although I was in the process of studying abroad, if you want to recommend me, I can also agree to be a scholar.

This is a processual term for interviewing in this era.

Liu Bei naturally understood, smiled slightly, dressed properly, and then asked, "Oh, that's the case, I don't know what Mr. is good at, why teach me?!" ”

This is the standard procedure for the monarch to ask the right question.

At this time, he can no longer have a relaxed mentality, Zhang Xi must show his ability to Liu Bei at this time.

Why do I teach you, do you want to have a "Longzhong Pair" first, and grab Zhuge Liang's job? !

Not to mention, Zhang Xi really thought about this when he simulated the Q&A at the inn yesterday, but later he overthrew it for himself.

Zhang Xi understands the general meaning of "Longzhong Pair" and can say it...... However, it doesn't make much sense to memorize "Longzhong Pair".

"Longzhong Pair" is an outline, which is the strategic plan proposed by Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei.

But Zhang Xi didn't think that Liu Bei went to see Zhuge Liang, just to listen to Zhuge Liang read "Longzhong Pair", and the two of them must have discussed for a long time the strategy on how to realize "Longzhong Pair", and it was at this time that Zhuge Liang initially won Liu Bei's approval.

Zhang Xi knows his ability, relying on the so-called foresight or some extra knowledge to make himself more comfortable, this can be done, let him plan military strategy, then he is not as good as a horse.

Ma Tan has read military books for many years, but Zhang Xi, in his two lifetimes, he will only say one sentence: "Soldiers, major affairs of the country, and the way of life and death, must not be investigated." ”

Yes, "The Art of War" is such a good work, Zhang Xi only remembers this sentence.

If Liu Bei really discusses the route of "Longzhong Pair" with Zhang Xi, then Zhang Xi will have to be exposed if he can't say a few words, but it will leave Liu Bei with a bad impression of "exaggeration" and "exaggeration".

Again, Zhang Xi also has his own rhetoric.

"Xi studied at home in his early years, and later studied in Yingchuan Xun, and he was quite familiar with mathematics."

This is a rhetoric that Zhang Xi has thought of a long time ago.

In this day and age, books are very precious.

Although Cai Lun improved papermaking and greatly reduced the cost of papermaking, Cai Hou's paper writing and preservation are quite inconvenient, and it is not as easy to use as the original bamboo slips, so the main carrier of the book is still bamboo slips.

The bamboo slips are bulky and the text carrying capacity is also limited, which causes the inconvenience of the circulation of books, coupled with the "annotation right" of the wealthy family in order to grasp the knowledge, the attitude of self-cherishing all the books, so the Confucians in this year dare not say that they are familiar with all the classics, and most of them only specialize in one classic.

Zhang Xi said that he was "well-read", he must be bragging, even if he really read a lot of books, he may not be able to understand all the content and meaning of the book.

It's better to go with the flow and say that you are specialized, or the "way of mathematics" that ordinary people don't know how to study.

At this time, the way of mathematics was not a ninth-rate "path" in later generations, but a knowledge that preceded Taoism to assist the emperor, and it was also the basis for studying "Zhou Yi...... It's not the same thing as modern mathematics, but you will definitely use the knowledge of mathematics.

Of course, Zhang Xi doesn't know the way of mathematics in this era, let alone the ninth-rate "path" that pretends to be a ghost, he can only use modern mathematics for nine years of compulsory education.

But in these years, the way of mathematics is too difficult, and there are too few people who are willing to work hard to study it, let alone any masters, and many people haven't even gnawed down the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

In this regard, Zhang Xi felt that he should be much better than most people who studied mathematics...... At least he knows how to multivariate equations.

Zhang Xi deliberately said this so that Liu Bei could not really verify his knowledge...... Even he suspected that Liu Bei had never read any mathematical works at all.

Liu Bei really didn't understand much, frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "Dare to ask sir, what is the way of mathematics?!" ”

Zhang Xi smiled slightly, silently recited the words prepared yesterday in his heart, and said, "The ancients, those who know, the law is in yin and yang, and in the number of techniques. Those who can calculate, the number of heaven and earth, if the number of heaven and earth is obtained, then the avenue is also among them. Thinking through creation, planning is wonderful, it is for the ....... of the artist"

In fact, Zhang Xi didn't know what the way of mathematics was, he just mixed some of the contents about mathematics in the "Suwen" and "Hanshu" that he had read in his memory.

Seeing Liu Bei's confused face, as if he didn't understand but kept nodding, Zhang Xi knew that he had really let himself be blindsided this time.

He talked about a lot of classical Chinese, and Zhang Xi felt embarrassed when he said some words, but he finally frightened Liu Bei.

As for saying this, will Liu Bei not use himself because of too much nonsense....... Zhang Xi felt that this was impossible.

What is Liu Bei's situation now?!

Defeated repeatedly, trapped in Xinye, and sent people under the fence.

Could it be that Liu Bei still doesn't know the reason why he can't succeed?! If he really didn't know, he would put down the shelf and visit the thatched house to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain?!

In his exposition of the way of mathematics, why did Zhang Xi emphasize that the way of mathematics can "calculate the world", and "think through creation, and plan wonderfully"? !

There is only one purpose, whether you believe it or not, at least on the surface, I am the strategic talent you need now.

Such a person comes to you, even if you don't believe me, you know the allusion of buying horse bones, right?!

And what about Liu Bei......

"Since Mr. is good at the art of mathematics...... There is still a lack of a grain and grass master in the account, I don't know if Mr. is willing to give in? ”

Liu Bei's reaction made Zhang Xi a little bit less evaluated.

It can be regarded as expected, Liu Bei was still willing to give Zhang Xi an official position after Zhang Xi's unreliable chatter, although he didn't understand.

The main book is a big official position, although Liu Bei has no territory now, but the main book is a deputy of a county, and it cannot be said that Liu Bei took a petty official to send Zhang Xi.

But...... Why is the word "grain and grass" added in front of the official position of the main book? !

Grain and Grass Master Book...... What's that?!
