He could not help but take a deep breath and sip his tea.
Indeed.
To Cao Cao, even if he didn't repair the palace, he could delay it.
Could the current Tian Zi really do anything to him?
However, recruiting heroes from all over the world was no small matter.
He had to make concessions for this matter, let alone repair the Imperial Palace.
"You…"
Yang Xiu's expression became extremely serious as he looked at Sima Yi suspiciously,"
"Why are you telling me this?”
"Could it be that you can obtain some benefits from this?”
Sima Yi seemed to have expected Yang Xiu's question.
He said calmly,
"That's because…"
"This time, Sikong wants to recruit the Humble Class.”
"If we recruit the Humble Class, it will definitely affect the interests of the aristocrats.”
"Although our two families have some grudges, we are still in the same boat.”
"But we are both from the aristocratic families of Xudu."
"If this matter gets out of hand, the interests of our two families will be implicated.”
"Therefore…"
Sima Yi's expression suddenly turned serious as he said,"
"I hope that from today onwards, our families will be united against a common enemy.”
"If we encounter any danger, we can help each other.”
Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Sima Yi.
This time, Sima Yi did not pretend to be unfathomable.
It could be seen that he was serious.
However, Yang Xiu still sneered and said,"
"So what if we recruit some poor people?”
"Your Sima Clan's foundation is not stable. If the wind blows, it will be uprooted.”
"My Yang family won't."
"You should stay here and study it slowly.”
Finished talking, Yang Xiu put down the teacup and opened the folding fan.
He stood up and left.
He completely ignored Sima Yi's invitation.
"Second Young Master, this…"
"This Yang Xiu is too condescending!”
Even Sima Yi's servants couldn't bear to watch this scene.
Sima Yi chuckled,"
"No worries."
"Yang Xiu is so arrogant."
"To my Sima Clan, this is actually a good thing.”
"Since the Yang Clan is unwilling, then my Sima Clan can only do our best to protect ourselves!”
……
In the afternoon.
Sikong Manor.
Cao Cao stood in front of the huge gate of Sikong Manor.
In front of him, at the foot of the stairs of Sikong Manor.
Standing there was a group of scholars from poor families who had come from all over the world.
Cao Cao smiled and said,
"Heroes!"
"Has anyone heard about the recent announcement of the Challenger Board?”
Hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly.
Cao Cao continued,"
"Because this challenge is too difficult."
"Therefore, no one has dared to challenge me for the past five days.”
"However, Zhao Yang from Wan City is also my main registrar.”
"He took the initiative to reveal the rankings and try to challenge them!"
"Unfortunately, it has only been less than three days and I have already failed.”
It had to be said that Cao Cao's acting skills were really perfect.
As for Zhao Yang's background, no one knew.
He might as well just say that he came from Wan City. No one would be able to find out.
Who knew where a transmigrator lived?
Hearing this, the scholars 'expressions tensed up.
These days, they were most worried about this matter.
Zhao Yang was brave enough to challenge them. Under the flattery of the aristocratic families, it was immediately rumored that Zhao Yang was the replacement of the Humble Class Scholar.
If Zhao Yang succeeded.
It would greatly increase the confidence of the Humble Class scholars.
However, they did not expect Zhao Yang to give up the challenge in the morning!
They felt uneasy.
Some people even wanted to go home.
What did this mean?
If Cao Cao thought that even Humble Class scholars were like this, they wouldn't be able to persevere and complete the mission.
What should he do then?
Now that Cao Cao had mentioned this, how could they not be nervous?
Cao Cao smiled and said,
"Although Head Secretary Zhao failed,"
"But he was brave enough to try and set an example for others!”
"Even if he fails, because of this touching act.”
"Therefore, I specially rewarded him with one thousand taels of copper coins as an encouragement!”
"In this world, there is no shortage of talented people, only those who dare to try!”
After saying that, Cao Cao intentionally swept his gaze over the scholars below.
Was he saying this for Zhao Yang?
Obviously, he was saying it for all the scholars below to hear!
It was Guo Jia's suggestion that made Cao Cao make such a decision.
If that was the case, he would go with the flow.
Zhao Yang's actions were the best example!
Only by daring to try could one make gold in the desert!
In this way, Cao Cao's reputation of loving talents and treating them with courtesy would spread!
Attracting talents was Cao Cao's ultimate goal!
As expected.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, the scholars below immediately revealed shocked expressions.
Immediately after, he was filled with excitement!
They had never expected that the result would be like this!
"Sikong Aixian is truly a rare sight!”
"Sikong's actions are truly tearful!”
"There is no shortage of talented people in the world, but there is a lack of people who dare to try! Sikong's words are wonderful!"
Everyone immediately started discussing.
Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back and saw everything.
The more he looked, the more he liked Zhao Yang.
Amazing, really amazing!
He didn't expect that it would be over such a small matter.
Zhao Yang had actually used a series of tricks!
If he succeeded, he would be able to step down and promote frugality!
Even if it didn't work, there would be an even better situation!
Recruiting talents was much better than promoting frugality!
As for repairing the palace, what was the hurry?
The emperor only said that he wanted to repair it, but he didn't say a time limit!
Then there was no hurry!
Find talents, consolidate the current situation, and fight steadily.
Regardless of whether he set his sights on Yangzhou or Xuzhou, there were sufficient talents that he could make use of!
This was the most important thing!
When the scholars were excited.
Cao Cao quietly left.
"Ang 'er, go and send the money to Mister.”
"Remember, you must let everyone see it.”
"This money has really been given to Mister.”
Cao Cao instructed as he closed the door.
Cao Ang nodded and said,
"Here!"
However, before he could leave, Cao Cao continued,"
"Wait!"
"Give him a thousand copper coins."
"But in private, give more."
"Give me twenty taels of silver first."
"Don't let anyone see this money.”
Cao Ang was instantly dumbfounded.
" Twenty taels of silver?!"
"Father, why?"
Twenty silver taels was definitely not a small amount!
In ancient times, the purchasing power of this silver was extremely high.
Cao Cao said helplessly,"
"Ang 'er, when will you be as smart as Mister?”
"Even now, Teacher has invested in my account without any salary.”
"Now, I can only come to Sikong Manor to eat!”
"Let's not talk about what others think."
" What do you want Sir to think?!"
"Could it be that you, a transmigrator, have transmigrated to me and given me so many surprises?”
" But I don't treat you well?!"
"What kind of logic is this?"
These words stunned Cao Ang.
This was indeed the truth…
But why did it feel strange?
