Ye City Recruit Pavilion.
Zhao Zilong stood up and walked toward the young man at the table.
The young man was thinking about the problem. He thought of something interesting and was pleased with himself as he shook his head.
" Sir, the young master at that table would like to have a chat," Zhao Yun cupped her hands and said.
The young man raised his head and was stunned. He didn't expect that the person speaking to him was Zhao Yun. He took a sip of wine and smiled." Why did you invite me over and not him?"
Zhao Yun did not expect the young man to be so arrogant.
The surrounding air moved, and Han Shang was already at the side. He cupped his hands and said, Mister, please allow me to sit down."
The young man smiled and gestured for Han Shang to sit down.
" Take your time. I'll take my leave first." Zhao Yun turned around and left the Recruitment Pavilion.
The young scholar looked Han Shang up and down. He saw that Han Shang was extremely elegant. His skin was sparkling and lustrous, but his figure was quite tall. His shoulders were wide, and he exuded a domineering aura. He completely combined weakness and strength, creating a unique charm. He praised him in his heart. He did not expect that there would be such a person in Jizhou.
"Sir, you have a charming demeanor. You seemed to have thought of something wonderful just now. Tell me about it." Han Shang said.”
The young scholar laughed." Jizhou is rich in money and food, and has a hundred thousand elite soldiers. It's a hundred times stronger than that superficial Yuan Shao from Hanoi.”
Han Shang also laughed out loud and paused for a moment before saying,"The Yuan clan has four generations and three dukes.”
" The two dukes of the Yuan clan are both untalented people. We can't conspire with them." The young scholar let out a long sigh.
When Han Shang saw him, he asked,"Sir, you worked for the Yuan Family."
The young scholar laughed self-deprecatingly." Yuan Shao's name is famous all over the world. He defected to his empty ambition of serving the country!”
Han Shang understood that he had come to Jizhou because he was depressed at Yuan Shao's place. He paused for a moment and asked,"Mister, what do you think of the situation in the world?”
The young scholar's spirit was lifted when he heard this question. His eyes were filled with high spirits as he said,"The world is in chaos. Looking at the vassals of the world fighting for the Central Plains, it is also the time for us to make contributions. It was said that the new ruler of Jizhou had great ambitions and implemented a new law to recruit talents. In just a few months, Jizhou's farmland had a bumper harvest and its trade was prosperous. The other dukes could not catch up.”
Han Shang thought to himself that this person was quite good at bootlicking, so he turned around and asked," Mister thought that he could show off his skills in Jizhou."
The young scholar laughed out loud,"If this place doesn't work, I can only live in seclusion in the mountains."
Han Shang cupped his hands and asked,"May I ask your name, sir?"
" Guo Jia of Yingchuan. May I know your name?" The young scholar cupped his hands and replied.
Han Shang was overjoyed. It was actually the genius Guo Jia. He laughed and said,"Didn't Fengxiao already know? Why ask?”
Guo Jia was startled and laughed out loud." Prefecture Overseer, you're really a wonderful person. I'm sorry to say that you've put in so much good words. I wonder if you can ask for a job under your tent."
Han Shang thought of something and said,"I've long heard of the name 'Ghost Genius,' so I'll confer you the title of Marquis Pingbei."
Guo Jia laughed out loud when he heard that." Lord Prefecture Overseer, you really like to joke. Isn't that a higher official position than Lord Prefecture Overseer?" Suddenly, his laughter came to an abrupt halt. Guo Jia's eyes turned heated as he looked at Han Shang and said in a low voice,""That's true."
Han Shang's eyes gleamed as he said,"" First pacify the north, then the north will rule the south."
Guo Jia's hand trembled, and his wine glass almost fell. He was extremely excited and walked to Han Shang's side to bow. Han Shang raised his hand to stop him." Come downstairs with me. Jushou is here to pick you up."”
Guo Jia was shocked. The two of them had been talking upstairs, so how did he know that someone had come downstairs?
When Guo Jia followed Han Shang downstairs, the entrance of the Recruitment Pavilion was filled with soldiers. A middle-aged scholar stood quietly at the door. He was overjoyed when he saw Han Shang coming downstairs and quickly walked forward.
Han Shang walked out with majestic steps, followed by Qushou and Guo Jia, causing the scholars and warriors of the Recruitment Pavilion to discuss animatedly.
Zhou Cang, the saberman who was talking to the shop assistant at the counter, felt that the atmosphere was not right. He turned around and happened to brush past Han Shang. The steel saber on his back let out a terrified cry. So strong!
"Zhou Cang, you come too." The voice was irresistible.
Zhou Cang was stunned. Who was this person? Why did he ask me to follow him when he knew my name? But he followed him.
In the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Han Shang sat high, and the civil and military officials below him sat on both sides.
" Shang has been away from home for a long time. Everyone, please report the situation in Jizhou. Ju Shou, you go first." Han Shang's double light fell on Ju Shou, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
Qiushou's entire body trembled. He pulled himself together and said,""After the new law was issued, it caused strong opposition from the noble families of Jizhou. Some of the noble families even gathered their generals to put pressure on the government. There were a few violent incidents that were suppressed by General Zhang He's army. After that, a small number of the troublemaking noble families sold their property and left Jizhou.”
Han Shang nodded. He had expected this situation.
"However, after the new law was issued, it attracted a large number of foreign merchants to our Wing Prefecture to do business. After the spring harvest, the people of Yi Prefecture had ample food and clothing. A large number of refugees from other places heard that there was grain in Jizhou and poured into Jizhou. According to the lord's orders, settle the hooligans and rent the land to them according to their heads."
Guo Jia's eyes lit up as he nodded repeatedly.
Ju Shou continued," After recruiting the refugees, distribute the seeds and organize them to reclaim the wasteland. I believe that the yield of grain during the autumn harvest will double.”
Han Shang nodded in satisfaction and turned to Zhang He,"" What's the movement of the various dukes?"
Zhang He straightened his back and said in a clear voice," The scouts reported that Sun Jian took revenge on Liu Biao. He won several battles in a row and took Jiangxia, Fancheng, Dengcheng, and surrounded Liu Biao and Xiangyang. Originally, the situation was good, but Sun Jian had fallen into Kuai Liang's trap and died in Xian Mountain.”Qiushou said.
After a pause, he continued,"After Sun Jian's death, the morale of the army fell into chaos. Liu Biao seized the opportunity to attack and win." Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, led his troops back to Jiangdu.”
"I heard that Sun Ce led his army to Jiangdu, recruiting talents and accepting scholars. He was humble and treated others. The heroes of the four quarters gradually joined him.”
Han Shang nodded and said,"Shang wants to expand the army and change the military system. The most important thing is to eliminate the old veterans in the army and the soldiers who are not even fifteen years old.”
Pausing for a moment, he looked at the genius Guo Jialang and said,""Where is Guo Jia?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he walked out calmly and cupped his hands."Guo Jia is here."
"You will fill in the vacancy of the main book. You will be in charge of the military system reform. After tomorrow morning's discussion, if there are no problems, issue it.”Han Shang said expressionlessly.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Guo Jia's forehead.
Qiushou laughed in his heart. He was the same back then, asking for a reform overnight. It seemed like this 'ghost genius' was going to suffer.
"Where is Zhou Cang?" Han Shang called out.
On the right, Zhou Cang was overjoyed. He strode forward and cupped his hands."Zhou Cang is here."
" Follow Zilong and train in the army first. We'll make arrangements in the future," Han Shang said.
Zhou Cang accepted the order.
