Previously, because the team was included, some people could see the man with a long beard and a beautiful beard, while others couldn't. After entering the hall, everyone discovered that there was such a handsome man among the guides.
He is seen wearing a brocade robe, soap boots on his feet, and a jade buckle and gold ring on his belt, which adds to his prowess.
While everyone was secretly looking at the handsome man, the handsome man was also scanning everyone with a scrutinizing gaze.
Xu Fei raised his eyebrows, turned sideways and whispered, "I'm thinking of someone."
"I also think of someone."
Wei Yu responded, and the two nodded slightly, both thinking of the same person.
When the king of Wu ordered the strong man to start his own business, there were only two people who stood beside Li Jie to make suggestions and help him. One was Ba, the son of the Six Kingdoms;
Shang Wuji.
As a descendant of the Wei family and the Xu family, as long as the Jin family is a higher-level family, they still know a lot about each other's power distribution because of the "Wu-Jin Alliance".
The Yunyan family can be considered a second-rate family, but they are the remnants of the Yan Kingdom.
It's not very important in Wu State, but it still has some strength.
Shang Wuji was an outlier. When Li Jie was still in his prime, he gave his own sister to Li Jie as a concubine.
Not only did he send his sister to Li Jie, but he also moved his family directly to Baisha Village.
It was just a matter of moving there, but it also brought a large number of slaves, property and other valuable social resources, as well as many years of business channels and connections.
It can be said that Li Jie gave him whatever he asked for, but he did not change his sister from a concubine to a wife.
It's just that the more Li Jie behaves like this, the more he is respected by Shang Wuji, and even becomes an indispensable part of Li Jie's decision-making circle.
When it comes to think tanks, there are not many think tanks that Li Jie truly trusts, and Shang Wuji is one of the few.
And with the births of Li Qiu and Li Shi, Shang Wuji obviously became more important to Li Jie. In the early days, he asked for the title of a township doctor from King Wu Wei. Now he is still holding the title of County Magistrate and County Magistrate of the Second County.
Although they are all grassroots counties, their social status is definitely not ordinary.
County magistrates and county magistrates in large countries are much more noble than ordinary senior officials in small countries. The territory and population they manage are not at the same level.
The rich and handsome Shang Wuji compared himself to a group of young people with the same extraordinary background in terms of demeanor and demeanor. He was really not convinced. Not to mention qualifications, resume, and appearance, they were not on the same level.
.
Several teenagers fell in love with Shang Wuji because of his handsome appearance. They secretly glanced at him and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him, but they couldn't find an excuse.
Finally, I wanted to step forward to offer a sip of tea, but when I saw the crocodile people standing in line over there, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Not long after, a rare beast appeared in the hall.
He walks like a dragon and strides like a tiger, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. His armor is all made of leather, but he still gives people a sense of oppression that makes people dare not express their anger.
"I have long wanted to hold a meeting. I have been out on inspections recently and I can't get away. I hope you will forgive me! Sit down, please sit down. You are welcome. The house is simple, so we will make do with it. Let's drink some tea and eat some melon first.
fruit."
As soon as the voice was raised, Wei Yu and Xu Fei felt as if someone straightened their arms and slapped themselves hard, and then there were stars in their eyes and then deafness and tinnitus.
There is a buzzing sound in my ears!
This rare beast... I saw it from a distance when I was in Xinzheng. Why didn't I think it was so scary at the time?
Shang Wuji brushed his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, I'm afraid you will scare them with your posture."
"Oh, that's right." Li Jie smiled and was about to sit down on the chair. After listening to his uncle's words, he stood up again and rushed around, clasping his fists and raising his hands. "Don't be cautious. Li has always been direct in his actions. Come to Huaihe from the south."
It’s only been a month or two since I walked around and looked at the water. Now that I’m here, I must have made up my mind.”
As he spoke, Li Jie pressed his hands down: "No need to be too polite. Let's sit down and drink tea first. Let's chat while drinking tea. Today is just a meeting and a tea party. There is no need to be too polite!"
Everyone looked at each other and felt a little unbalanced for a moment. These people had really made up their minds and planned to stay in Huaizhong City.
It is not said that Li Jie stayed here because he was "thirsty for talents" and could 100% become an official or a nobleman.
If they really had official positions when they came, this group of people wouldn't have waited for a month or two before entering Huaishui Bofu.
The assessment and screening are relatively hidden.
The young people who have survived to this point have very strong determination, let alone ability.
"Li came from a rough background. He wants to collect the world's talents for his own use. That is definitely unrealistic and nothing more than wishful thinking. There is a difference between high and low. How can a scholar-bureaucrat be used by barbarians? This is the norm."
The opening remarks made many scholars almost spit out the tea they just drank!
Direct, so direct!
What Li explained couldn't be more correct. Even in the homes of these people, this attitude is still the same.
Coming to Li Jie was just to borrow a platform and use it as a springboard to enter the power structure of Wu State.
However, the families of such people often have a very confused understanding of the power structure of the Wu Kingdom.
Only by going deep into Huaizhong City, to both sides of the Huaishui River, and at least participating in the production activities near Huaizhong City, can we understand that all this is definitely not something that the Wu tradition can do.
The more the young man understood all this, the more he was shocked by Li Jie's frankness and magnanimity.
"But at least Mr. Li has turned over. He was originally a barbarian from Baisha, but why is he so bad now? Be bolder. I, Mr. Li, have the final say on both sides of the Huai River. Then come to Mr. Li.
When working in a county, a township, ten miles or five miles apart, there will always be vacancies, and there will always be a salary."
Li Jie smiled and said, "If you don't care about Li's face, for the sake of your official position and salary, what's the harm in gritting your teeth and working for the barbarians? Is that right?!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The tea that was originally very fragrant smells...even more fragrant now!
Wei Yu and Xu Fei looked confused, wondering if this precious beast was quite good at deceiving people when they were in Xinzheng? Why did he speak so directly when he returned to Huaizhong City? It was really embarrassing to be so direct.
"When you arrive at Huaizhong City, more or less, no matter who introduces you, you are still going astray..."
"hehe……"
When he mentioned "going astray", a group of people burst into laughter and couldn't hold it back.
Because this is an extremely real situation, many little guys, really excited, said goodbye to their families, and then ran to Huaizhong City.
When the results came, it was not the case at all.
President Li, who is "thirsty for talents", is busy working and inspecting everywhere.
What should I do? I can’t see President Li, so I have to live my life.
In the past, at home, you could eat and drink based on the honor of your ancestors, but in Huaizhong City, you couldn't.
labour is the honour!
The more you work, the more you get, the less you work, the less you get, and the more you work, the less you get.
Unless you are a stunning beauty and are taken into the harem by President Li, then you only need to spread your beautiful legs and keep your food and clothing worry-free.
It's a pity that President Li is not a good man, isn't he?!
Furthermore, even if they are good-looking men, their looks are not even comparable to Shang Wuji's, so why are they still fooling around?!
I have no choice but to find work.
Some work as bookkeepers at the docks, some work as translators for business gangs, some work part-time as primary school teachers, and some work directly on construction sites to fight against labor costs.
If a sword-wielding samurai doesn't even have the strength to fight back, what the hell is he doing?!
At least the wages from Kang Bao are much better than those from farming.
There is a good one in Huaizhong City. The wages are generally relatively high and they are in charge of the food. The quality of the food is not bad, and there is also accommodation. Datongpu looks messy, but it is not dirty, because if it is dirty, you will be beaten. There are dedicated brave men who make secret visits.
Once fined, the contractor's life will be difficult.
Therefore, Datong is a mess and has a strong smell, but it is not really dirty and is much cleaner than ordinary shabby houses.
In addition, there are public bathrooms, so you can take care of yourself during this small day. As long as you are not sick or in trouble, you can really see it.
If the sword-wielding warriors and wandering scholars still remember what they came to do in the south, it would be good to just work for a living for the little wages and social welfare. It is better than wandering around the country, begging for food and relief from time to time.
Therefore, Li Jie mentioned "going astray", which made many people sigh. How could they have such thoughts a month or two ago?
I "went astray" to Huaizhong City, had no relatives, and then worked to make a living. In the end, I ended up here, and it was pretty good.
Now that Li Jie mentioned it again, he felt even deeper.
The experience of "making a living" in Huaizhong City gave these scholars a different understanding of the production relations in Huaizhong City.
The knowledge they originally learned from their families or their motherland and the production model they dealt with were extremely crude and backward. That kind of extensive, all-inclusive approach was obviously not applicable in Huaizhong City.
What is needed here more is "specialists". It's not that we don't want to be versatile, but that we can't do it.
When a person is responsible for a certain project, the project tasks have already overwhelmed the person and he has no energy to think about anything else.
An all-rounder is first of all an innate madman in terms of physical strength and energy, and secondly a strong person in spirit and will.
"Okay, you can laugh. It seems that the hardship is not in vain. The hardships at the bottom of the Huai River are very different from those of the princes in the world. You can adapt to it and sit in front of me, which means..."
Li Jie stretched out his finger and pointed, "You are very human, and I, Mr. Li... am also very human."
"You come to work under me, Mr. Li, sincerely. There is an old saying. I have said it before in Biyang Kingdom, and I will say it again today."
"If you don't let me down, I won't let you down. How about that?"
As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, everyone put down their teacups and shouted slightly unevenly: "Cai!"
"color!"
"color!"
These young people were extremely excited, and when they shouted out, they looked a little excited.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The laughing President Li was very happy and said cheerfully, "Everyone, all the princes in the world, but I, the princes, generals and ministers on the banks of the Huai River are not born with noble blood!"
"Gentlemen! Please!"
Li Jie raised the tea cup, looked around, and then drank the tea in one gulp.
