"The order to seek talents?"
Cao Cao thought about it again and again. He was an extremely intelligent person. In terms of intelligence, he was definitely not inferior to Xu Zhen. After all, Xu Zhen knew some knowledge and had long understood the general situation of the world. He could be considered a person who looked at things from the perspective of God, which was why he seemed very divine.
Soon, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. He raised his head and asked,""Are you saying that the second decree will be issued to elect scholars from poor families or people from clans who support me?”
"That's right, only talent is recommended, not family background. In this way, the Humble Class can have a way out and will definitely remember my lord's achievements.”
"Only talent can be elected…Only talent can be elected…" Cao Cao's eyes lit up. He suddenly understood. The reason why he had issued the decree was to gather all the scholars and scholars in Yanzhou and the surrounding counties. If he could gather them by his side, he would naturally have many talents and a strong army.
Now that they had a firm foothold, with nearly 200,000 soldiers, a million territories, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, excellent political achievements, and a deep reputation among the people, then…they would have to force the clans to take sides.
If they didn't support him, he wouldn't be a talent.
If they supported him, then he was talented.
The so-called "only talent is recommended" could naturally be controlled in his hands. Those who were truly talented and virtuous could be placed in suitable positions. As for those old officials of the Han Dynasty, such as Yang Biao and Zhang Xi, who thought highly of themselves, they would naturally become honorary officials.
People who did not have any subordinates could only hide their talents in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately stood up and bowed deeply in front of Xu Zhen.
"Yixuan! You really are my Zhang Liang and Xiao He! No, you are my Han Xin!”
"Stop, stop…That's enough." Xu Zhen pursed his lips.
Amazing…Xu Zhen could not help but sigh in his heart. If he was in Cao Cao's position, he would probably have to ask more questions before he could think of a series of key points.
However, people like Boss Cao were different. He had only mentioned it casually, but he had already figured it out. This meant that even if he did not say the solution, he would have thought of it sooner or later.
However, since he had pointed it out, he would definitely get the credit.
Xu Zhen immediately smiled and said,"How about this? I've solved a difficult problem for my lord. You'll solve one for me too."”
"Tell me! Just say it! Even if I don't agree, Old Weng will agree more than me!”Cao Cao said happily, but his heart was also twitching. Recently, Old Weng had been thinking about Yixuan more than him!
"My supply camp lacks many military doctors. I think if you can help me recruit some military doctors, it will be more comfortable to transport food, open up wasteland, and distribute military supplies in the future.”Xu Zhen said with a smile.
What the f * ck…Cao Cao was stunned. I don't even have many military doctors in my army!
"Where can I find...""Aiya, just help me send out a recruitment notice when you send the order!
”Xu Zhen mumbled, looking like a willful lackey, making it impossible for Cao Cao to refuse.
"You…this…" Cao Cao pursed his lips and said helplessly,"Alright, alright, I'll give it to you!
Your supply camp is as fierce as a tiger. You will get sick!？”
The best armaments, the best warriors, the best training system, and you, Xu Zhen, the strongest brain. Whoever provoked your supply camp would really provoke a tiger.
Moreover, Cao Cao had given the order that the supply camp could act on its own and listen to Xu Zhen's orders. It had become an independent army.
Xu Zhen…Xu Zhen…Cao Cao thought with a bitter smile. Xu Zhen was the strongest general in the world. If there was anyone else in the world who could compare to him, it would probably be Lu Bu, Dian Wei, or Sun Ce.
Well... Sun Ce's son was called the little tyrant. It was said that he had the shadow of the former overlord of West Chu. If he was a few years older and grew stronger, who would be better than Yixuan?
…During the autumn harvest this year, the palace in Xuchang was completed. The main hall was divided into six parts, and the rear palace had thirty-six courtyards. The land was vast and rich, expanding for more than three thousand miles. The walls and courtyards of the palace were incomparably vast, accommodating more than one thousand eunuchs and more than three thousand palace maids.
The roads, the back garden, and the training grounds were all divided out. It was magnificent.
The inner city occupied almost half of Xuchang, while the outer city had tens of thousands of people and clans living there.
After it was completed, the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, Liu Bei, was summoned and entered Xuchang with the army.
Climbing the high mountain of Xuchang to worship heaven, praying to heaven and earth, spreading out the denunciation, using the emperor's edict to reward those who have made contributions and punish the traitors and generals!
Summon all the vassals to the court.
However, no dukes came. They only sent congratulatory letters.
So a few months passed, and after winter, Emperor Xian of Han granted Cao Cao the title of Sikong, the commander of chariots and horses, and the commander of all officials.
Xu Zhen was granted the title of Da Si Nong, in charge of money and grain, transporting and dispatching, recognizing Xu Zhen as the uncle of the country, and granting him the title of Marquis!
Liu Bei was granted the title of Left General and regarded as the Imperial Uncle.
Xun Yu, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang, etc. were all rewarded.
The other meritorious officials were all given official titles, and there were still many Han officials who occupied high positions, but they had nothing to do with the people's livelihood, military affairs, and diplomacy.
It was just an official position that was recorded and recorded.
Yang Biao and the others immediately felt that something bad was going to happen!
Cao Cao had already begun to extend his demonic claws.
The entire court was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. Liu Bei had just arrived and did not recognize these officials. He only spoke to Cao Cao. Even Xu Zhen, who he had been looking forward to meeting, could only be seen from afar.
…This winter, Cao Cao took advantage of the emperor's welcome to return to Xuchang, set up a gate hall, and issued an order to seek talents. He ordered talented people from all over the world to come to Xuchang to serve as officials, and the benefit he threw out to the poor was that only talent was elected!
All of a sudden, people who were knowledgeable in various fields such as the people's livelihood, military, strategy, internal affairs, and medicine came to join.
Outside Xuchang City, the logistics camp that had been moved to the rear had its area re-planned. Then, a huge signboard was set up outside the barracks with the words "Recruitment Office" written on it. This was where the finance minister, Xu Zhen, was located.
Although he was the finance minister, he was not often in the government office. Xuchang was still expanding the outer city. As the capital, although Xu County was only a small place, it should be expanding in the next few years.
Therefore, Xu Zhen simply set up the supply camp in a remote suburb. It could go as far as Xuchang, but it was far away.
This way, he could avoid being too close to the other military camps, and at the same time, he could avoid Liu Xie, that rascal, from wanting him to enter the palace every day to get to know his feelings.
Familiar my ass! I already said that I'm not your uncle.
There were a few people standing in line at the recruitment office. The one helping to manage the recruitment was Zhao Yun. After all, this young man was handsome and meticulous.
However, at this moment, a middle-aged man came to the door and asked with a smile,"General, may I take a look at the camp?”
"Sir, please go ahead."
With just a glance, Zhao Yun could tell that this middle-aged scholar didn't have any weapons on him. Moreover, Daren had instructed that if anyone wanted to visit, there was no need to guard the outer camp. Dian Wei was guarding the inner camp, so there was no need to care.
The middle-aged scholar walked into the main gate of the military camp. From afar, he could see a reservoir and a connected pipe. With a twist of the valve, water could flow out. It was very convenient.
Although it was winter, the soldiers were still getting water and brushing their teeth.
Other than that, there were also a towel and a wooden basin.
He wiped his face with the water and poured the water onto the ground. The water flowed out of the ditch and into a field in the distance.
He nodded and took a deep breath.
"It's really magical. Last year, I heard that Lord Xu had a complete copy of the Heavenly Book, but I didn't think much of it.”
"Sir! What did you see? Why can't I tell?"
The middle-aged man was followed by two little errand boys. They carried a tea set and tea leaves on their backs, as well as many books. They looked very tired, so they swayed.
However, they were already used to traveling everywhere.
At this moment, the middle-aged man happened to see a young man in an official uniform standing in the distance, holding a blueprint and instructing the craftsmen. Those craftsmen were all holding needles and thread. There were a total of 30 to 40 people. Some were clever women, and some were men from the village.
He quickly walked over and bowed.
"Greetings, Lord Xu."
Xu Zhen turned his head around and carefully sized up the middle-aged man, slightly stunned.
"How do you know I'm Xu Zhen?”
"In the entire Xuchang, there should be no one else other than Lord Xu who can have such a wonderful talent.”
"Haha, you flatter me.”
Xu Zhen saw that this person was carrying two children and carrying a load. One of the loads had soil and herbs sticking out. It seemed like he was a doctor.
"What is Milord doing?”
"Fragrance sachet."
Xu Zhen said.
"Fragrance sachet?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. This kind of thing was worn by some people from the clans. Most of them were filled with spices obtained from the Hu market to let themselves emit a comfortable fragrance. It was the best thing to use to make friends.
There were also many places where prostitutes would wear them. They would emit a strange fragrance to attract customers. Some of the dissolute children would linger on this fragrance.
"What use is this?"
"It's useful." Xu Zhen saw that the middle-aged man had sweat on his forehead and his legs were strong. He must have walked a long way to come here. If he was here to apply for a job, he could tell him a thing or two.
"Fragrance sachets, also known as pouches, can be used to clear one's mind, avoid diseases, remove filth, repel mosquitoes and insects. If you put Eupatorium, Peppermint, Agastache rugosa, Sauron, Acorus tatarinowii, Cangshu, mugwort leaves, and so on in them, they all have their own effects. They can repel insects and prevent diseases. These are mostly cheap herbs that ordinary people can afford.”
"I see…" The middle-aged man nodded and said,"
"Sir, you are indeed a wise man. I have been traveling for many years and have seen many plagues and disasters. I even came across a typhoid fever.”
"Of course." Xu Zhen was rather surprised.
"May I ask your name?"
"Oh, I'm Zhang Ji, also known as Zhongjing.”
What?
Xu Zhen's eyes widened. This person was actually the Holy Doctor, Zhang Zhongjing... "The order to seek talents?"
Cao Cao thought about it again and again. He was an extremely intelligent person. In terms of intelligence, he was definitely not inferior to Xu Zhen. After all, Xu Zhen knew some knowledge and had long understood the general situation of the world. He could be considered a person who looked at things from the perspective of God, which was why he seemed very divine.
Soon, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. He raised his head and asked,
