The appearance of Lu Jun just made up for the embarrassment that Lu Bujun could not get the support of the local celebrities. If you want to get the support of the people, you must get the support of the local celebrities, because the people see that even the local celebrities are working for this prince. , other people naturally have a sense of belonging to this prince, just like Qiao Mao to Sun Ce, whether Qiao Mao is a famous scholar or a great scholar, his superficial attitude of supporting Sun Ce can make Sun Ce win a lot of hearts.
Lu Jun's recruitment work has already been recommended by Liu Kai. The Liu family and the Lu family are still very close. When Lu Kang was the prefect, the Lu family and the Liu family were very close. After Lu Kang died, the Lu family The decline continued, but the Liu family still secretly helped the Lu family, which enabled the Lu family to survive. Sun Ce and the Lu family had a deep hatred, and nearly half of the Lu family died in the hands of Sun Ce, while Lu Bujun took Sun Cejun Being repelled made Sun Ce suffer a lot, the enemy's enemy is a friend, isn't it! Before Wancheng was in the hands of Sun Ce, Lu Jun and the Lu family could only swallow their anger and keep a low profile. Now it is different, Wancheng is now owned by Lu Bujun!
Now to invite Lu Jun to come out to be an official, I believe Lu Jun will still agree. When Liu Kai stepped aside, he told Liu Kai that he would call him when he went to Lu Jun's house. He wanted to meet Lu Xun and Lu Ji. They are still in their teens according to their age. !
"My lord, the problem of being a celebrity has been solved, but we are still far away from our thirst!" It is possible that Lu Jun could recruit the children of the gentry to come to Lujiang to serve as officials, but the gentry in Lujiang is almost dead, and the children of the gentry in other states Even if you want to come to Lujiang to become an official, it will take time! Now that Lujiang has just gone through the war, it urgently needs peace and development, and needs someone to manage it.
"Huh?!" Lu Bu frowned, and Chen Deng stood aside. If this is Xuzhou, maybe Chen Deng can help Lu Bu recruit talents by relying on the reputation of his father and the Chen family. But this is Wancheng, and Guangling is far away from here. It's also far away, even if it's nearby, Cao Cao won't let Chen Deng go.
"Where did the others come from?" This became a problem. You must know that although the Lujiang River in Wancheng is now in the hands of Lu Bu, Lu Bu and the others are not locals, and they don't know who is a good talent here, and what kind of people can govern. One place!
"Does it need to be so troublesome?!" Liu Wei couldn't figure it out, Lu Bu lacked officials? This is an official! Under China's official-based system, there is no one to be an official? "Father-in-law, why do we need to find talents! We can just let them come to us!"
"Looking for us?!" Both Chen Gong and Lu Bu turned their attention to Liu Mang, what does it mean to ask someone to find us? Is it to let those gentry children take the initiative to join Lu Bu? Stop joking, okay! Given Lu Bu's ugly reputation, how many gentry children are willing to become officials!
"Why do you need to find those sons of the gentry!" Liu Wei stood up and said, "Not all talents in this world are from the gentry! We can also find them from the grass!"
"Among the reckless? A poor family?!" Chen Gong probably understood, but then shook his head, "How immoral are the reckless people!"
"No virtue?!" Liu Mang really laughed and said that reckless people have no virtue, when did the gentry have virtue too! "Take the gentry in Wancheng as an example. For the benefit of their own family, they directly rebelled against Lu Bu, and almost slaughtered Wancheng. Such people are virtuous! The gentry present here, such as Chen Deng, whose father apparently gave Lu Bu One thing, another thing behind, is such a person virtuous? Liu Kai and his son are attached to Lu Bu's chariot because of the interests of the family. However, Liu Mang didn't say anything about these things, after all, they are all his own people now.
"Now that the world is uncertain, how can there be so many talents with both ability and political integrity? What is needed now is whether they can do it, not for you to be picky about military divisions! And most of the military divisions in front of you are born recklessly!" Liu Mang choked the old man Chen Gong, who made this old man always intentionally or unintentionally want to see Liu Mang make a fool of himself. Now in this hall, the generals except for Chen Deng are basically reckless people. The old generals are like Gao Shun Zhang Liao and others. Both Zhang Liao and Gao Shun enlisted in Bingzhou with Lu Bu. The power still needs to be the leader! Only Zang Ba belonged to a small gentry family, but he was also unruly and unruly. He was a Taishan thief, and the newly surrendered generals, like Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning, which one of these were not born reckless, Gan Ning was even a water thief, but Only these reckless people can support Lu Bu's power!
Liu Mang's words made everyone present feel very comfortable. After all, it is not their fault that they were born reckless. They have the strength and ability to make a career in this world.
"Post up the recruitment order!" Liu Wei continued, "In the entire Anhui city, the entire Lujiang River, no, it should be the entire big man, we have to send people to post the recruitment order, and tell the world that our Lujiang Lu Bu army is the only one who can do it. No matter what your birth is, high officials and rich salary are waiting for you, not afraid of high demands, but afraid of your lack of ability!"
"Recruitment order?!" Chen Gong was really stunned, he could imagine the consequences if this recruitment order appeared.
"No, my lord!" Liu Kai, the Patriarch of the Liu Family, was the first one to stand up against it. He didn't want to offend Liu Mang, but Liu Mang's idea was that Liu Kai thought it was too bad. Recruitment order? Don't ask about birth? As long as you have the ability, you can be an official
You must know that the position of this official is taken by the sons of the gentry, and there are very few children from the poor family, unless the poor family has great talents, why is this? Because the great Han's country selects officials with filial piety and honesty. Only when they are filial and honest can they become officials. The higher the official rank, for example, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, a native of Peiguo Qiao County, were promoted to Xiaolian at the age of 20 and became Luoyang Beiduwei. What kind of official position is this? If we compare it with the present world, a sub-director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau of the capital is at least a department-level cadre, and at the local level, he may be the director of the public security department of each province. How old is he, twenty years old! This is because Cao Cao was also a son of a gentry and was born in an official family. After Cao Can, the chancellor of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was Cao Teng's adopted son. He served four generations of emperors and had a certain reputation , Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was granted the title of Marquis of Feiting.
With such a big family, it would be difficult for Cao Cao not to be an official.
Not to mention Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, these two families have four generations and three generations, and they can be said to be the largest family in the world besides the royal family, just like the Morgan family in the United States. The prefect of a county, Yuan Shao is not bad, he became the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan at a young age.
And Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law is not so lucky. Without family and power to help him, he can only climb up step by step. Lu Bu has a family background like that of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so Lu Bu will not bear the reputation of a house slave with three surnames.
And now Liu Mang actually wants to summon the poor family's children to be officials, what is he trying to do? Do you want to abolish the privilege of the gentry to be filial and honest! The reason why the gentry has been able to pass on for so long is because they can be officials from generation to generation. Except for the troubled times, only the gentry themselves can destroy the gentry. Otherwise, they have been officials for generations, and their nephews can be officials no matter what. No matter who is in charge of the country, he can still starve those officials to death!
If Liu Mang abolished Ju Xiaolian, then the decline of the gentry would not be certain. It is uncertain which generation would not be an official, and it would be abandoned.
"My lord, once this recruitment order comes out, the gentry in the world will definitely spurn us even more! In this way, the Lujiang gentry and the gentry in the world will be even more unwilling to serve in Lujiang!" Liu Kai immediately objected.
"Yes, my lord can't open this hole!" Chen Deng also stood up and spoke. Although he is the only one left in the Chen family, don't forget that if they follow Lu Bu and they really achieve a career, then they will again. Become a new batch of gentry, when the time comes this will be their vital interests.
Not only Chen Deng and Liu Kai, but Liu Neng and Yang Hong also stood up to oppose it.
"Huh?!" Liu Mang didn't expect so many people to oppose him when he opened his mouth. The only ones who can advise Lu Bu here are Chen Gong, the official counselor, and Liu Mang, Chen Deng, Liu Kai and Yang Hong, three part-timers. Counselor, now there are a total of four people and two and a half objected. Although Chen Gong didn't speak, his expression didn't agree with Liu Mang very much.
"What are you afraid of!" Liu Mang didn't understand. Didn't Cao Cao issue a recruitment order in history? Why did Cao Cao succeed in recruiting a bunch of talented people from poor families, but Liu Mang was opposed by these few as soon as he proposed it.
In fact, Liu Mang didn’t know that it was only a few years after Cao Cao proposed the recruitment order. Cao Cao’s recruitment order recruited a lot of children from poor families to make them generous and glorious, but similarly, it was these poor families who opposed the recruitment order in the end. Children, because they have become officials, they also established a family and became a gentry. After becoming a gentry, they naturally want the privilege of being an official for generations. He violated Cao Cao's yin and yang. When Cao Cao was around, he didn’t dare to be too obvious. Cao Cao jumped out as soon as he died, and Cao Pi was Cao Cao’s son, but he didn’t have Cao Cao’s kingly way, so Cao Pi wanted to appease the hearts of these nobles, because he Knowing that only the gentry can help him stabilize the world, only with the support of the gentry can he secure that position.
So the nine-rank Zhongzheng system appeared. With the help of Chen Qun, Cao Pi issued the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. This system completely put the privileges of the gentry to a peak, and finally even appeared to the extent that there were no poor families in the upper rank and no nobles in the lower rank.
Chen Gong stood aside and seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't speak and watched the two parties arguing.
"If there is no recruitment order, then I ask Brother Ziqi, who will manage the Lujiang River next! Let the people manage it themselves!" Liu Mang looked at Liu Kai and said, while Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and other generals couldn't get in. Mouth.
"If this opening is made, we in Lujiang will really offend the gentry in the world!" Liu Kai persuaded Liu Mang earnestly. Relying on the protection of the ancestors to get the inheritance from generation to generation, being able to be an official, and being able to live freely, once Liu Mang's recruitment order comes out, what will the gentry think? They don't even have the privilege of being an official, so how can they be called a gentry!
The gentry The gentry means that everyone in the family can be an official, and only when there are many gentry are they called the gentry.
"If you offend, you will offend! So what if those who plunder the common people's fat and anoint them, and those gentry who are only looking for profit, are offended!" Liu Mang didn't give up at all. He killed almost the entire gentry in Lujiang with one knife in Wancheng, so he didn't care about those gentry.
Lu Bu was in a bit of a dilemma. If he adopted Liu Mang's idea and issued a recruiting order, no matter how idiot Lu Bu was, he would know that although such a move would win the hearts of the underprivileged children in the world, it would lose the hearts of the gentry. He didn't care about it in Lujiang because of the Lujiang gentry They are almost dead, but once Lu Bu's army expands, Lu Bu will definitely not get the support of the gentry in other places. Without the help of the gentry, let alone whether the gentry will confront you head-on, he will definitely make you stumble. son! Those gentry are very powerful in the local area. They only have a few percent of the population but occupy 80% of the wealth. Even some emperors dare to offend the gentry in the world, like Cao Pi and Zhao Kuangyin. Rule the world! There are still many great talents in the gentry, if those people try to plot against you from time to time, it will really be extremely uncomfortable.
The reason why Lu Bu lost Xuzhou was because he was calculated by Chen Deng, the Chen family, a noble family in Xuzhou.
But if you listen to Liu Kai, then talking about it is tantamount to talking in vain. There is no result of any discussion, and Lujiang still lacks talents and cannot be governed.
"We can make a compromise!" Chen Gong finally spoke, and he walked out to look at Liu Kai and Liu Mang. The words of both of them made sense, "The recruiting order can be issued, but only for this time, when we find If we have enough talents to manage Lujiang, we will take back the recruitment order!" Chen Gong's compromise is to first set up the framework of Lujiang governance, and then look at it later! Anyway, all the gentry in Lujiang are dead now, and no one has tripped Lu Bu's army. As for the future, let's talk about it when the territory grows!
"That's the only way!" Lu Bu nodded and pointed at Liu Mang, "Han Yang, since you proposed this recruiting order, you are in charge!"
"Understood!" Liu Mang nodded and could only compromise.
"The problem of talents has been solved, so next time, my lord, should you expand your territory?" Chen Gong raised the third question. Lu Bu's job is Xuzhou Mu, not a county prefect. With Lujiang in hand, it is suitable for expansion.
"Exaggerate the territory?!" The eyes of all the warriors present lit up. You must know that the expansion means that there is going to be a war, and only after a war can you get military exploits!
"Territory?!" Now Lu Bu is surrounded by Sun Ce, Cao Cao and Liu Biao. According to Chen Gong's strategy, Sun Ce will wait for Sun Ce to negotiate peace. Now beating Sun Ce is to give Liu Biao a dowry. Liu Biao in Jingzhou has only one Jiangxia next to Wancheng. Now Jiangxia is a mess. Sun Ce's army and Liu Biao's army are criss-crossing In the war, Lu Bu intervened, only harm and no benefit.
The other one is Cao Fuck! After being beaten out by Cao Cao, he is now sending troops to attack Cao Cao's Xudu! Although Lu Bu has always had this idea, he also knows that compared to Cao Cao, there is a more difficult opponent in Hebei, Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao has already occupied Youzhou Bingzhou Qingzhou Jizhou Sizhou, if Cao Cao is defeated by him! Then the fun will be great, no matter how short Yuan Shao is, no matter how dizzy his head is, it is impossible to rely on the entire Central Plains to defeat other princes, and he can kill his opponent with a pile of soldiers! Because of the prosperity of the Central Plains, the Three Kingdoms finally belonged to Jin. Cao Cao lost 800,000 troops in the battle of Chibi, but he failed to hurt Cao Cao's roots! This is the wealth of the Central Plains, and the population of the Central Plains is several times that of other places combined. The state of Shu has mountains and rivers, and the state of Wu has the Yangtze River. This can last for so long, otherwise it would have been wiped out long ago!
Now that these neighbors can't attack, where is Lu Bu going to expand his territory! (To be continued.)
