After some discussion, Chen Yan and the other three fell into endless pessimism. Guo Jia's matter is indeed very tricky, and what makes Guo Jia even more disappointed is that he didn't know about it at all.

I'm afraid that if Jia Xu hadn't pointed out all this, I'm afraid Guo Jia would never have known that he had been given such a terrifying spell by his master until he died.

After sending Guo Jia and Jia Xu away, Chen Yan closed the door, and he was also very desperate in his heart, he didn't expect that this legendary Guigu Sect would be such a chilling sect, and the seniors of a sect would use such drastic means to deal with the juniors in their own sect.

What's more, this junior is his personal disciple, the only disciple.

"Ah......h

Chen Yan shouted in a low voice, not wanting his despair to affect others, although Guo Jia's matter made him feel troubled at this time, but Chen Yan knew that what he needed to face would be more complicated.

The Central Plains area has been stabilized, but the remaining problem is how to govern it, and Chen Yan has several good candidates in his heart, including Xu Rong and Chen Gong.

Puyang City is adjacent to the Yellow River, and Yuan Shao rescued Cao Cao before that, and also formed a grudge with Chen Yan. Although Hebei has not yet settled down at this time, Yuan Shao still has to face the strong enemy of Gongsun Zhan, but with the strength of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it must not be difficult to contend with Gongsun Zhan......

In this way, Puyang will become the first strategic zone, and Chen Yan must pick out a general who can compete with Yuan Shao to guard Puyang, and this person is naturally Xu Rong.

Xu Rong's strategic literacy Chen Yan is very confident that with him guarding Puyang Town, Yuan Shao will never have the opportunity to cross the Lei Chi.

The other candidate is Chen Gong, Chen Gong is from Yanzhou, and he knows much more about Yanzhou than others, when Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao to meet Lu Bu, Lu Bu did not have too many troops, but with the help of Chen Gong, he still succeeded in taking most of the land in Yanzhou, so if Chen Gong is guarding here, Yanzhou's stability is just around the corner.

But in this way, there will be an obvious shortage of manpower under Chen Yan's command, although there are still Jia Xu, Guo Jia and the rising star Sima Yi, and the generals are still Huang Zhong, Xu Chu and the Black Mountain Army, but in the face of Chen Yan's expanding territory, these talents are obviously not able to meet Chen Yan's needs.

At this time, for Chen Yan, the development of the territory in his hands is a top priority, and the recruitment of talents is a top priority, no matter in which era, the most needed is always talent.

"Seeking talents, seeking talents...... Chen Yan knocked on the smooth tabletop, and began to think about it again, Yanzhou is so big and fertile for thousands of miles, if you want to recruit talents, it will not be a difficult thing.

"Let's do it tomorrow, let's do it tonight......"

Chen Yan muttered to himself, and gradually returned to his couch.

On the second day, as soon as the light was faint, Chen Yan had already gotten up early, and he paced out the door, and saw Xing'er whispering to Guo Jia on the side, seemingly with a very intimate attitude.

Chen Yan smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that Xing'er had always had ambiguous feelings for Guo Jia, but Guo Jia was bent on political affairs, and his attitude towards Xing'er had always been lukewarm.

This morning, I suddenly saw Guo Jia and Xing'er getting closer, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, after thinking about it, Chen Yan immediately understood the truth:

At this time, Guo Jia is afraid that he knows that his life is short, but there are many things he has not done in this world, Guo Jia is not a saint, he is just a mortal with superb talents, since he is a mortal, he is naturally indispensable to seven emotions and six desires, and inheritance is an important responsibility that cannot be avoided in this era.

Guo Jia's attitude towards Xing'er has changed now, presumably because he knows that he may die soon.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, he stepped forward slowly, and couldn't bear to disturb Guo Jia and Xing'er chatting, but at this time, Xing'er's keen intuition had already discovered Chen Yan, although she was more or less delicate because of Lu Lingqi's relationship with Chen Yan, but she still couldn't lose her courtesy, and hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Da Sima." ”

Guo Jia also hurriedly saluted, but between the words, there was obviously a little shyness.

It seems that there is indeed something between Guo Jia and Xing'er.

Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Fengxiao, now that you are not young, we don't have any major events for the time being, I think you should also find a time to marry and have children." ”

Guo Jia and Xing'er were stunned when they heard this, and then Xing'er's face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, Chen Yan laughed, and didn't say much, until the point was over, even if she went to the state capital of Puyang City.

In the morning, Chen Yan arranged the positions of Xu Rong and Chen Gong properly, and then ordered Sima Yi to release the news, asking the talents of Yanzhou and the Qingxu generation to recommend themselves quickly.

But after all, Sima Yi is young, and he is not very sure about the choice of sages, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was still filial piety, so the power of the family is very important for promoting talents. Therefore, Sima Yi had some doubts about Chen Yan's self-recommended method.

Chen Yan gradually considered whether to apply the imperial examination system to this dynasty prematurely, he had already thought about it last night, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was too early to hold the imperial examination system at this time, the world was undecided, and the war was chaotic, although Yanzhou had been initially pacified at this time, it was still very difficult for the people to make a living, who would have time to take the imperial examination; The examination of knowledge in the imperial examination has always been relatively one-sided and rigid, and in the troubled times, what is needed is outstanding talents.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yan decided to increase the workload and conduct self-recommendation, so that the people of the Central Plains generation who have confidence in him can come forward to recommend themselves, and then arrange for his subordinates to interview them, so that they can not only know more about them, but also ensure that talents will not be missed.

However, in this way, Sima Yi's workload suddenly became huge, but fortunately, Chen Yan still has a special ability, that is, as long as it is a talent, he knows it.

As long as the name is reported, Chen Yan hears familiar ones, needless to say, they are definitely talents, because after all, Chen Yan is from 1,800 years later, and he knows a little about the famous figures in the Three Kingdoms, so he reduces a lot of workload.

But in any case, the population of Yanzhou and Qingxu is really large, after Chen Yan's recruitment order was released, Sima Yi has been busy day and night for about half a year, if it weren't for Sima Yi's youth, I'm afraid he would have died of overwork earlier than Guo Jia......
