Regarding what Zhang Xi said, Sima Hui was skeptical.

Sima Hui knows about paper, but Sima Hui also knows how difficult it is to promote paper in this era.

As for the engraving printing technique that Zhang Xi said, Sima Hui only praised Zhang Xi's ingenuity, and he didn't think it was magical.

What really surprised Sima Hui was the overall effect of these two technical cooperation, as well as the . Liu Bei had already thought about the decision to implement paper in Chengdu.

Really, Sima Hui was very skeptical that Liu Bei could do it, and why didn't Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong and others stop it.

What kind of talent these two people are, Sima Hui knows very well.

Zhang Xi saw Sima Hui's suspicious attitude, and also knew what this wise old man was thinking, so he said, "The younger generation doesn't dare to lie to each other, this matter is now in Chengdu, I'm afraid it's not a secret, Mr. can repair a book, ask friends in Chengdu, and see for yourself." ”

Sima Hui's face was cloudy, obviously balancing the pros and cons.

After a long time, Sima Hui said, "If this is the case, I am old and cheeky, and I recommend a few people to join the county guard." One of them is."

This exchange has come to an end.

Sima Hui recommended several so-called talents to Zhang Xi, and also wrote letters of recommendation to Zhang Xi, with these letters, Zhang Xi should not be rejected when he recruited these people.

But this does not mean that Sima Hui believes Zhang Xi's words and is helping Zhang Xi.

It is precisely because Sima Hui knows the benefits and difficulties of paper promotion at the same time, and also knows the abilities of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, so he does not dare to draw conclusions easily, and needs to observe the reactions of the Yizhou family, and judge according to these reactions, whether he should show his old face and completely take refuge in Liu Bei's side.

As for these so-called talents, in fact, Sima Hui didn't want to be too stiff with Zhang Xi before he made up his mind, and he took them out to hang Zhang Xi, which is probably equivalent to the meaning of investment intentions.

The so-called talents recommended by Sima Hui to Zhang Xi are actually not great talents in Sima Hui's view.

And as soon as Zhang Xi heard about the family background of these people, he naturally understood that Sima Hui, an old fox, was not so easy to take the bait, and he just recommended some poor children to Zhang Xi.

But Zhang Xi didn't care, after all, this matter was indeed not trivial, with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's love for him, he had to send himself to Jingzhou for refuge, which shows how deep the water is.

It would be too much to expect this old fox to be willing to help with a single word.

And it's . Sima Hui recommended four people, and there were three people Zhang Xi really didn't have much impression of the name, and there was a high probability that he was not an outstanding talent in this era.

But there is one, Zhang Xi still has an impression.

Stone buds.

A talent who is about the same age as Xiao Deng Ai, born in a poor family, has no identity background, and later has a lot of achievements, but has a mixed reputation.

But it's amazing that Xiao Deng Ai was "hijacked" by Zhang Xi's crossing dog, and he was not relocated to the north at all, how could this stone bud also appear in Nanjun? !

And you have a relationship with Sima Hui?!

Could it be that these two people are really a buy-one-get-one-free relationship?!

But no matter what you say, Shi Bao is a talent in the end, and the person who is nicknamed "Wu", at least in military talent, should not be low.

So Zhang Xi specially sent people to requisition the stone buds.

It also happened that Shi Bao was not happy in Nanjun, and he was going to go back to his hometown in Bohai, but Zhang Xi's sudden expedition scared Shi Bao a little.

But then, Shibud was ecstatic.

Shi Bao was born in a poor family, and he just came of age last year, and he really couldn't get along in that place in Bohai, so he went to Jingzhou to try his luck and see if he could find a suitable opportunity to become a leader.

As for why it can't be mixed up locally. Well, Shi Bao is sick, and he has the same disease as King Qi Xuan.

The widow is sick, and the widow is lustful.

Seriously, these days, it's really not a big deal for the disciples of the family to be lustful, that's called a real celebrity and a scholar.

But as a child of a poor family, he is still lustful without a family background, and he has nothing to do to flirt with a beautiful woman or something, but he has a bad reputation in the local area, and he has to run farther away to seek an opportunity to become a leader.

Originally, Shi Bao went to Yecheng, but on the Yecheng side, even the children of wealthy families were not ranked as the number one, where could Shi Bao, a person from a poor family, be an official.

So Shi Bao went to Xiangyang, which was more remote, and wanted to find an opportunity in Xiangyang.

It turned out that although there are not as many families in Xiangyang as in Yecheng, the families in Xiangyang are powerful, especially the Cai Kuai family, and they are especially wary of people like Shi Bao who come from other places to grab food.

Shi Bud had no choice but to come to Nanjun to try his luck.

As for Sima Hui, he saw Shi Bao squatting at the gate of Sima Hui's house for more than ten days and didn't leave, Sima Hui was a little interested in this kid's persistence, so he met and chatted a few words, but in fact, the two of them were not familiar with each other.

What kind of person is Sima Hui, there are many people who have seen it, and at this time, Shi Bao has only been an adult for a long time, and he has not experienced practical exercise, and he is still a little bit of a half-bottle of vinegar swaying, of course Sima Hui does not look at it.

So, this time Zhang Xi visited, Sima Hui threw out the stone bud and used it as bait.

But this is a blessing from heaven for Shi Bao.

It is not easy to be an official in a cold family, Shi Bao is very clear, he has been squeezed by the children of the family in Yecheng, and he has not been looked down upon in Xiangyang.

In addition, the old problem has not been controlled, resulting in the reputation of Shibao in these two places has not been good.

Originally, Shi Bao was already disappointed, thinking that he would go back to his hometown in Bohai and live a peaceful farming life, but suddenly someone came to the door to recruit him to be an official.

And this person is still the new Nanjun Taishou, a person from the same humble background.

Forget it if you didn't have a chance before, but now that she has a chance, Shi Bao certainly wants to seize this rare opportunity to show her talent in front of Zhang Xi.

But when Zhang Xi heard it, it was similar to Sima Hui's feeling, this stone bud was somewhat like half a bottle of vinegar swaying.

It's not that his thinking is not clear enough, it's not that he is not smart enough, it's just that many ideas are too naïve and most of them are unreliable.

Even compared with Xiao Deng Ailai, Shi Bao's understanding of practice is relatively shallow.

After all, Deng Aike has been helping Zhang Xi deal with county documents since he was sixteen years old, and after so many years of accumulation, his practical understanding is not lost to ordinary county adjutants.

And this stone bud is somewhat meaningless.

Such a person is not suitable for him to be given a high position immediately, and he must be allowed to start from the grassroots level. After asking Ma Liang's opinion, Zhang Xi gave Shibao Yingxian the position of county leader.

The prefectural magistrate, the deputy of the prefectural magistrate, can directly take the place of the prefectural magistrate when necessary.

This position is already a very small position for people from a family, and the family may not be in the eyes.

But for a poor disciple like Shi Bao, it is already a good opportunity.

Therefore, Shi Bao did not have any dissatisfaction with this position.

Zhang Xi was also very satisfied with Shi Bao's attitude.

What Zhang Xi hates the most is a person who has low eyes and has no self-knowledge. For example, that Liao Li.

As long as you are willing to start from the bottom and accumulate experience little by little, it is not impossible to rise to a high position in the future.

Zhang Xi himself is from a humble family and a modern soul, but he will not be constrained by the views of the people of this era.

And putting Shibao in Yingxian County was also seriously considered by Zhang Xi.

Yingxian County is not far to the east of Jiangling City, this place can be said to be under Zhang Xi's nose, whether the stone bud is good or not, Zhang Xi doesn't need to listen to rumors, just send someone over to take a look.

In addition to Shi Bao, Zhang Xi did not interfere in the remaining talents recommended by Sima Hui, but handed them over to Ma Liang to investigate, and let Ma Liang arrange the work.

With such a few people in the emergency, Ma Liang was somewhat relieved.

But it is only the degree of relief, after all, in the entire Jingzhou, from top to bottom, there is a shortage of officials at all levels.

Now in Jingzhou, the adjutant of the state pastoral level, Zhizhong, Sima, Beijia, and other positions are all part-time between Ma Liang and Yi, and whoever has kung fu will take care of that mess.

Only the position of chief bookkeeper is held by Liao Hua, but Liao Hua basically doesn't care about the state affairs, but goes to the military camp to help Guan Yu deal with the official affairs of the military camp.

As for the county level, other counties can still be ignored, and let Taishou find a way to recruit locals to become officials, but Nanjun can't ignore it.

All kinds of puffs, Shi's adjutant is seriously missing, Zhang Xi, who is too guarded to take office, and he has that attitude, which makes Ma Liang and Yi nationality angry, and it is an attitude that one person has to use for several people.

As for the counties under the county level, there is no shortage of county orders in various places, but there is a shortage of county commanders and county lieutenants below the county order level everywhere, and many county orders have to work part-time as county lieutenants, which is actually a great hidden danger to local development.

Therefore, although Zhang Xi helped Ma Liang find a few talents this time, he could temporarily fill the vacancy of grassroots officials, but the higher-level talents still have not been solved.

Zhang Xi shrugged at this and directly magnified the move.

Zhang Wei was appointed as the Sima of Nanjun, and Li Qiu was arranged for two of his own people at once, and he was also the nominal second-in-command and third-in-command of Nanjun.

And let out the rumor - if there is no suitable county adjutant in Jingzhou, then Zhang Xi will apply to Liu Bei in Chengdu to transfer some Yizhou people to Jingzhou to participate in governance.

It is also called easy to modulate.
