After Wang Can captured Chengdu and stabilized Yizhou, he reduced taxes and set up porridge sheds widely. In a short period of time, he gained high popularity among the people of Yizhou and gathered the hearts of the people of Yizhou.
Afterwards, a letter of seeking talents was issued, and the children from poor families celebrated and applauded.
Compared with when Wang Can served as the prefect of Hanzhong and when the recruitment list was issued in Hanzhong, Wang Can was now the leader of the nine counties of Yizhou. His strength and reputation had undergone earth-shaking changes. Compared with a year ago, he was completely different.
This time, the order to seek talents spread throughout Yizhou, covering the entire Yizhou and surrounding large states.
Wang Can will hire anyone with talent and grant him an official position. Youdao means learning martial arts and selling to the emperor's family. If the emperor doesn't know about it, he will sell it to someone who knows.
There are many wars in the world, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the tricks in them, and they also have thoughts of making contributions.
Wang Can's order asking for talents immediately touched the hearts of countless people.
Chengdu, outside the south gate.
A soldier held a notice in his hand, ran quickly outside the city gate, and posted the notice on the city wall. After a while, pedestrians traveling to and from Chengdu saw the notice and immediately rushed up to see clearly what was on the notice.
Content. A middle-aged man in his forties immediately cheered and encouraged when he saw the message on the notice.
This time, it attracted countless people to stop and watch.
There were so many people around the notice that people standing on the outside could not squeeze in. They had to jump up from time to time to take a look at the notice. Because there were too many people under the notice, people standing outside could not see the contents of the notice.
"Look, the regulations for seeking talents are out."
"Ha, let's go, sign up!"
."Don't miss this opportunity, go and sign up first."
…
The people who approached the notice quickly jumped out of the crowd after reading the content on the notice, and quickly left it behind.
Groups of people squeezed in, and groups of people ran out. Most of them had happy faces and smiles.
Outside the crowd, a strong young man suddenly walked up. This young man was wearing a coarse linen robe and had a strong back and waist. Although he was young, he was extremely strong and gave off a fierce aura. The young man carried a large pole on his back.
Gun, standing outside the crowd, stood out from the crowd, as if everyone around him had become a foil.
The young man looked around and saw a crowd of people, with a look of confusion on his face.
The corners of his mouth quirked up and he smiled.
Immediately, he suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed the middle-aged scribe who ran out of the crowd, and asked: "May I ask, sir, what notice is posted inside? There are so many people watching."
The middle-aged scribe didn't want to pay attention to the young man and stretched out his hand to pull, but the young man held his wrist tightly and prevented him from moving.
"It hurts, it hurts, let me go!"
The middle-aged man felt as if his wrist was being clamped and it was very painful. After being held by the young man's big hand, he could not move his wrist and his face became pale and weak.
The young man seemed to realize that the movement was too big and was a bit rude, so he quickly let go.
The middle-aged scribe shook his painful wrist and breathed a sigh of relief.
He glared at the young man, turned around and was about to run away. However, the young man stretched out his hand, grasped the middle-aged scribe's wrist like lightning, and said with a smile: "Sir, you haven't told me what's on the notice yet?"
The middle-aged scribe was about to cry but had no tears, so he said loudly: "You are so strong, why don't you rush in and see it yourself?"
The young man smiled awkwardly and said: "Sir, it would be too impolite for me to just push away the person in front of me. Please just tell me what is on the notice to save me from squeezing in. Besides, you see, I am still carrying something on my back.
It's a big gun. If you really squeeze it in, the big gun will bump and hurt people, so it won't be good, so I'll give you a little time."
The middle-aged scribe was completely depressed. His wrists were red but not injured.
However, the middle-aged scribe looked up and saw the gleaming gun on the young man's back, and shrank his head in fear.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
The middle-aged scribe looked bitter and secretly lamented that it would be unfavorable to go out. He said quickly: "Master Wang issued an order to recruit talented people in the civil and military fields. Well, that's how it happened."
The young man's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Is that just that?"
The middle-aged scribe was eager to get away, nodded repeatedly, and said: "That's it, that's it..."
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged scribe felt as if a soldering iron had been touched on his wrist, and the pain was excruciating.
The young man grinned and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's impossible that just one sentence can excite so many people. Hum, I just want you to ask something, why bother dragging it out, finish it quickly, and I'll leave immediately
If you continue to be petty, see how I deal with you."
The young man shook the big gun, and saw the cold light flashing from the tip of the gun, which made the middle-aged scribe tremble with fear.
The middle-aged scribe was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed his mother. He greeted the young man's ancestors all over.
He patiently said: "The notice says that Mr. Wang will not use the method of self-recommendation in recruitment of civil servants and military generals this time. Everyone will be gathered together and screened. The first is a literary test, and the second is a literary test.
As for the martial arts test, a person can take either the literary test or the martial arts test. Anyone who wants to participate can register at the school and wait for the unified assessment time."
The young man let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Well, you can go."
The middle-aged scribe hurriedly left as if he had been granted amnesty.
The young man looked at the middle-aged scribe's hurried away figure and smiled jokingly.
He reached out and touched the big gun behind him that was filled with coldness, and murmured to himself: "Literary examination, martial arts examination, this is an opportunity to get ahead, you must seize it."
After finishing speaking, the young man walked toward the school ground with a big gun on his back.
The young man carrying the big gun left, and soon after, another elegant young man squeezed out of the crowd.
This young man has an extraordinary appearance, with high cheekbones, a straight nose, a Chinese character face, and piercing eyes. Standing among the crowd, he has an extraordinary bearing that cannot be ignored.
The young man was wearing a green Confucian robe and a plain scarf. After leaving the group, he also walked towards the school grounds.
…
State Pastoral Mansion, hall.
Wang Can sat on the main seat angrily, with Cheng Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia sitting below him.
After settling Liu Zhang's matter, Wang Can directly transferred Cheng Yu back to Chengdu from Hanzhong.
However, Gao Shun still led the trapped camp to garrison Hanzhong and was responsible for the security of the north. Wang Can looked indignant, looked at Cheng Yu and the other three, and said: "Not long ago, I contacted the imperial envoy sent by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo agreed to appoint me as the governor of Yizhou.
Mu, but the only condition is that I take his daughter, huh, what kind of truth is this? It is simply nonsense."
Guo Jia laughed heartily and said: "My lord, you are so talented and wise that you beat Dong Zhuo to shame over and over again. This time, Dong Zhuo wants to stand up and make you his son-in-law. Oh, poor me, Guo Fengxiao, I am so talented and unparalleled.
He is so handsome and unrestrained, but no beautiful woman likes him, how pitiful he is."
"Guo Fengxiao!"
Wang Can gritted his teeth and shouted, and Guo Jia immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Wang Can was really not interested in Dong Zhuo marrying his daughter to him.
Dong Zhuo and Wang Can are both princes of the same party, not three-year-old children. For the sake of a great cause, it is impossible to be fettered by a woman. Especially between Wang Can and Dong Zhuo, there is a mountain of grievances and they belong to the opposite camp. Dong Zhuo tried to use a
It is really shameful for his daughter to fetter him.
Xun You held up his hands and said: "My lord, since Dong Zhuo is willing to marry a daughter, wouldn't it be nice if you accept Dong Zhuo's proposal and marry Dong Zhuo's daughter so that Dong Zhuo can lose his daughter and Yizhou as well?"
Wang Can sighed and said: "How can a marriage be a trivial matter?"
Xun You shook his head and said: "My lord, you must be cautious in national affairs. If you don't like Dong Zhuo's daughter, you can throw it aside after marrying her. But when it comes to Yizhou's political affairs, you can't let your personal emotions affect Yizhou's phalanx policy."
Regarding Dong Zhuo's marriage to his daughter, Wang Can and Xun You were completely different.
Xun You, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu believed that Dong Zhuo's daughter was a dowry from Yizhou and could be thrown aside after getting married. It had no value. This was caused by the times. Because the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms were originally an era of male supremacy, women were all
They are accessories. For men, women are firstly to please men, and secondly, they are to bear children and pass them on to future generations.
However, Wang Can grew up under the five-star red flag after all. He couldn't accept the marriage of two strangers, and he was unwilling to ruin a woman's happiness.
Seeing Wang Can's hesitation, Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said seriously: "My lord, if you want to achieve great things, you will never be hindered by your children. Dong Zhuo is willing to marry a daughter. You accept it gladly. There will be no harm to you."
any impact.”
After a pause, Cheng Yu continued: "As long as the lord can legitimately assume the position of Yizhou Mu, there is no problem in accepting Dong Zhuo's request. Dong Zhuo wanted to win over the lord by marrying his daughter, and also wanted to improve the relationship between the lord and other princes, but he
I don’t know that the princes are essentially antagonistic and will attack each other sooner or later.”
Xun You also advised: "My lord, it's time to cut it off. Don't hesitate."
Wang Can felt a little upset after listening to Cheng Yu and Guo Jia's persuasion.
He had a sharp mind and knew that Xun You and Cheng Yu's suggestions were correct. Only Yizhou Mu, who was granted the title of Mu by the imperial court, was orthodox. Even if everyone knew about Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, Dong Zhuo used the emperor to command the princes. He represented the emperor and belonged to the Han Dynasty.
The room is orthodox and no one can object.
Moreover, the official position of Yizhou Mu was too important to Wang Can and could not be ignored.
On the one hand, Dong Zhuo conferred the title of Yizhou Mu on behalf of the court on Wang Can, but on the other hand, he tied his daughter to Wang Can. In the final analysis, it was an exchange of interests, and Wang Can could become Yizhou Mu by labeling him Dong Zhuo.
Wang Can took a deep breath, took advantage of the long silence, and said, "Okay, agree to Dong Zhuo's request."
"My lord is wise!"
When the three of them heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After settling Dong Zhuo's matter, Cheng Yu said again: "My lord, after the order for seeking talents was issued, a lot of people have signed up. In the past two days, the number of people signing up has gradually decreased, and registration can be stopped. As long as the number of people is determined
, you can set the assessment time and conduct unified assessment on the children of the rich family and those who signed up."
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "In this case, let's stop registering. The assessment time is set for the day after tomorrow. First, we will conduct a literary test. After selecting the civil servants, we will conduct a military test and select military generals. As for the literary test and the martial arts test,
Those who all participate and are selected must be noted separately."
"promise!"
Cheng Yu answered with his hands raised, a look of excitement on his face.
He served as Wang Can's chief clerk and was in charge of official promotions. Cheng Yu had been handling the selection of officials. Seeing countless people enthusiastically sign up, Cheng Yu was very happy from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Can has territory, talent, and a bright future.
