Liu Xie didn't react for a while when he heard this, but then he woke up.
"Jia Qing, then you should intervene! Intervene quickly! Don't let them go!" Liu Xie was still too young after all, and his tone at this moment was somewhat more impatient.
Why the hell are you interfering! What's the point of just bragging to me here?
Jia Xu was not in a hurry and said calmly: "Some time ago, your Majesty, as per my request, did you send the imperial edict to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"
Liu Xie nodded eagerly and said: "I've sent it! I've sent it! I've sent it to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. I said that Chang'an is in war and the country is in danger. I asked them to send troops to rescue them quickly, but I haven't waited for a reply from anyone...
"
Jia Xu stroked his beard, thought for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I don't dare to say to death whether Yuan Shao will come, but Cao Cao will definitely come... and after they arrive, I will communicate with them and mediate.
It will definitely help His Majesty escape from the mouths of tigers and wolves."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Xie felt a little relieved, but the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.
"Jia Qing, you just said that you can't tell whether Yuan Shao will come, but Cao Cao will definitely come... Why are you so sure? Does it mean, Jia Qing, that you know them?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "I have never met either of them, and I don't know what they are like."
Liu Xie was a little confused: "Then why is Jia Qing so sure?"
Jia Xu smiled and did not answer.
There are some things that you should not say to your children, especially the children of the emperor.
…
The Emperor is a treasure, and in these troubled times, anyone who is not blind can basically see his value.
In history, Cao Cao seized the opportunity and supported Yuan Shao as the emperor, thus establishing a superior political position. Many people thought that Yuan Shao was indecisive, while Cao Cao was shrewd and courageous. This alone was stronger than Yuan Shao. In fact, this was not the case at all.
Yuan Shao is not much stupider than Cao Cao. Of course he also knows the benefits of supporting the emperor, but he cannot do it as quickly as Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao's achievements were different from Cao Cao's. He relied on the deep connections of the Four Generations and Three Dukes, and the huge energy of the nobles in the old order to achieve Yuan Shao's achievements.
The way Yuan Shao's forces operate is completely different from that of emerging forces like Cao Cao, which is centered on a newly emerging small power.
The gentry group under the Yuan family originally had a solid and mature operating system that spanned hundreds of years.
When those powerful nobles who were attached to Yuan Shao repaid the kindness of the Yuan family, another symbol on their bodies also strongly flashed that they were the Hanchen group under the old order.
This does not mean how loyal these noble families who support Yuan will be to the Han Dynasty, but once Yuan Shao moves the emperor's court to Yecheng, in order to obtain greater benefits for the old family, the powerful noble families surrounding Yuan Shao will
It is very likely that Yuan Shao's political development will be curbed by uniting to the emperor's side, and used as a means to revitalize their respective families.
There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. This also applies to the lord and his subjects.
This is the method of distributing the interests of the old order: when Yuan Shao, the Fourth Prince and the Three Dukes, was the boss, everything was easy. But once the emperor came, and the aura of the Fourth Prince and the Three Dukes was no longer there, it was difficult for Yuan Shao to ensure that the noble groups who gathered under his command would
I am still of the same mind as myself.
Yuan Shao even had the intention of supporting a pseudo-emperor Liu Yu, but he just wanted to use this method to weaken the influence of the imperial power and resolve the dark side of the huge power behind him.
This is the fundamental reason why blind people like Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si can easily support the emperor, but educated people like Yuan Shao cannot.
Jia Xu is an old fox, and he is well aware of the embarrassing position of the fourth generation and the third prince in the gentry group.
So even though he had never met Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, he knew that of the two, Cao Cao would arrive before Yuan Shao.
The next step is how to strategize.
…
…
In the northwest, the war surrounding the emperor intensified, while in Jinling City, the pottery merchant received an appointment from Tao Qian to take direct charge of the four southern counties.
From the leader of one county, he suddenly became the manager of four counties, and he had to pay taxes to Pengcheng, Xuzhou on a regular basis...
The pottery merchant returned to Jinling City and made a detailed calculation: in terms of geographical division, he should be much more powerful than the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty.
However, in terms of taking charge of the politics, economy, and military affairs of the four counties, the pottery merchant still made some careful planning.
Jinling City is still the capital of the four counties, and the four counties still rely on themselves to control their military strength.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong served as the governors of Wu County and Xiapi State respectively. Zhao Yu still managed Guangling and was responsible for promoting Jinling City's government affairs and farming to the four counties.
The administrative seat of Wu County was moved from Wu County to Yuhang County, and the pottery merchants renamed it Hangzhou.
Hangzhou, like Jinling City, was another important economic center in the southeast that it governed. The pottery merchants asked Zhang Zhao to take charge of the construction and development of Hangzhou City.
With the reference for the development of Jinling City, Wu County will definitely be more thoughtful about its development, but there is one thing that is troublesome right now.
The territory of the four counties has expanded, but there is also a relative shortage of talent. This is a matter of concern for the pottery merchants.
Those people left by Zuo Rong in Xiapi State and Guangling County could not be used at all.
For one thing, they are not of the same mind as themselves. It is said that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers.
Secondly, those people have been reading Buddhist scriptures every day for these years. Although they are good at Buddhist principles, their reading skills have basically failed.
Therefore, all three counties need to supplement their talents!
At this time, the pottery merchant was somewhat in trouble.
It was not that the pottery merchant had not thought about it at the beginning, just like when he played the Three Kingdoms game in his previous life, he opened the map to find counselors and generals.
However, when he truly came to this era, the pottery merchant discovered that some things were not as easy as he imagined.
The pottery merchant knew the names of many famous people in Jiangdong, but most of them only knew their names and surnames.
Even if my memory is incredible and I can remember the birthplaces of those capable people, I can only remember them at the county level at most.
It is not clear which township or pavilion it is.
Moreover, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many people no longer live in their places of origin and have moved to seek refuge. Even those who do not seek refuge, it is common for them to study abroad when they reach a certain age.
If you want to definitely find a person, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, people's names in this era are relatively simple, and it is easy to have the same name. Even if you find someone, how can you know that this person is the other person?
Therefore, opening a map to find someone is only limited to the Three Kingdoms game series, and only to versions before Three Kingdoms 10.
In this way, there is only one way to find the talents you want in a short period of time.
Issue an order to seek talents and open a recruiting center!
When the pottery merchant expressed his idea to Guo Jia, Guo Jia just said one sentence to him.
"It's a good idea, as long as you can withstand the pressure from the nobles."
The potter quickly figured out what pressure Guo Jia said.
When the Recruiting Order and the Recruiting Hall’s orders and policies were announced, the first person to strongly oppose it was Chen Deng!
In the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion...
"Your Majesty, this matter is against the legal system of the imperial court, and it is also an ancestral system. Please make your decision clearly." Chen Deng earnestly advised the pottery merchant.
Tao Shang was reviewing official documents at the moment. He didn't even look up when he heard this, and said slowly: "Tao doesn't quite understand what Yuan Long meant."
Chen Deng looked nervous and said to Tao Shang: "Since ancient times, inspection and recruitment have been the formal system for selecting local officials. Now the emperor wants to skip the inspection and adopt a policy of meritocracy, regardless of character...
Wouldn’t this be a violation of the law? This matter cannot be ruled out!”
The words were spoken in a sad and gloomy tone, giving people the feeling that this matter was very serious.
It's like a potter trying to break the natural laws of heaven and earth!
The potter raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat depressed.
Sure enough, Guo Jia was right. Everyone usually sticks together to the outside world, but once the interests of their respective families are involved, these bullshit nobles will come to create trouble for themselves.
"Yuanlong, in troubled times, people should be judged based on their talents rather than their ethics. This is a very special time. If you stick to the rules blindly, you may end up in death. With your talent, you should understand Tao's actions and thoughts."
Chen Deng sighed and said: "Master Fu, it is precisely because I understand your actions that I want to advise you that this order to seek talents is really not the right time."
The potter was not polite and asked directly: "Where did you send it at the wrong time?"
"Wujun, Xiapi and other places have just been pacified, and there are vacancies. It is the time for the lord to spread his kindness. But what are you doing if you can't show your kindness at this time?"
The potter's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I am thirsty for talents and recruit talents from the south of the Yangtze River. This is not an act of spreading kindness, so what is it?"
Chen Deng said sternly: "The kindness and righteousness in the order of seeking talents by the prince is only given to the common people, but the big people in the southeast are ignored!"
