The agreement with Yan Huang was initially reached, but it will take at least a month before it is actually implemented. Without it, Shang Ji needs to wait for Mo Ye's Sentiment Skill to cool down before opening the next Cave Void!

Yan Huang Sharp Blade understood this, and very boldly allocated an interest-free loan of 10 million gold first, full of sincerity!

After confirming the agreement, Yan Huang Blade quickly got up and took his leave, as the leader of Yan Huang in the beacon fire, he was far from being as busy as Shang Ji. I was able to take the time to come to Pingzhou in person just to show my sincerity, and of course I didn't need to stare at the rest of the finishing matters in person.

Next, Shang Ji returned to his previous leisure time, cultivating, training, and working hard to have children!

One day, Shang Ji was practicing, and suddenly a guard reported: "There is a great sage in the Zhaoxian Pavilion to vote!" ”

Shang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately thought of the historical generals recruited by Zhaoxiantai. Hurriedly explained, Shang Ji took a few personal guards to the Zhaoxian Pavilion!

"What kind of talent did you come to vote? What is the last name? Where? Where is it now? ”

As soon as he arrived at the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Shang Ji couldn't wait to ask the official in charge of the management of the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

"Lord, here, the two great sages are waiting for the lord to summon them in the recruitment hall!"

The officials are also happy, and there are great talents in the recruitment hall to vote, which is a proper political achievement for them!

"Do you know who your name is?" Shang Ji walked into the Zhaoxian Hall under the guidance of the officials, and asked as he walked.

"The one who came to vote this time is really a great talent, has the lord heard of the dragon head Guan Ning and the great Confucian Wang Lie?"

"Guan Ning? Wang Lie? ”

Shang Ji's footsteps suddenly froze, how could Shang Ji, the famous name of these two people, not hear of it?

Guan Ning, Hua Xin, and Bing Yuan are called "One Dragon", and Guan Ning is the head of the dragon!

Historically, in order to escape the war in the Central Plains, he migrated to Liaodong. During his time in Liaodong, he only talked about the classics and did not ask about the world, and relied on his superb personality charm to attract a large number of people who were also fleeing the war, and quickly formed a village with Guanning as the center.

In history, after the death of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang succeeded to the throne and called himself a general externally, but internally he gradually had the ambition to be the king. Gongsun Kang tried to ask Guan Ning to go out of the mountain to assist him several times as a high-ranking official, but in the end he didn't dare to say it!

Guan Ning does not occupy the position of an official, but his reputation in Liaodong is unrivaled! Even the princes of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang, who dominate one side, are in awe of him.

As for Wang Lie, he is also a great Confucian who has long been famous all over the world!

Historically, he served as a governor of Liaodong, and later Cao Cao heard of Wang Lie's reputation and was recruited several times. However, Gongsun Du Gongsun Kang and his son refused to let Wang Lie leave, and finally died of illness in Liaodong!

Wang Lie and Guan Ning are different from Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang, who are famous for their noble character. And they were born earlier, taking Wang Lie as an example, he was born in 141 and is now in his forties, and Guo Jia was not forty years old when he died.

In history, Guan Ning died in 243 AD at the age of eighty-four, and Wang Lie died at the age of seventy-eight.

In response to that sentence, morality is high and respectful!

This is what the great Confucians of the world are talking about, and in the eyes of the aborigines, they have a much higher status than Guo Jia, a little kid who has not grown all his hair.

And this kind of celebrity who has been famous for many years has a very complex interpersonal relationship, with a lot of relatives and friends, and grabbing one can pull out a string. If they can really get out of Pingzhou, it will definitely greatly alleviate the current situation of the lack of Wenchen in Pingzhou.

As he was talking, he saw a man running in from the outside in a hurry. Shang Ji looked at it, it was Xun Yu!

"Why does Wen Ruo have time to come to the Recruitment Hall?" Shang Ji greeted with a smile.

"I've seen the general!"

Seeing Shang Ji here, Xun Yu was also slightly stunned, and then saluted: "General Hui, I heard that Master Wang is coming, and the juniors specially came to visit!" ”

"Oh? Wen Ruo has an old relationship with the prince? ”

"Dissatisfied with the general, Master Wang and Uncle Wang studied together in Mr. Chen Yu Chen, and when he was young, he was also taught by Master Wang, and when he heard that Master Wang was coming, his subordinates should visit!"

Shang Ji immediately reacted after hearing this, Wang Lie seemed to have studied under Chen Yu in his early years, and he was a classmate of Xun Shuang, the uncle of the Xun Yu clan!

The terrible interpersonal relationship of the great Confucian celebrity was revealed in this way, and Wang Lie's classmates at the beginning were not only Xun Shuang, one of the eight dragons of the Xun family, but also Jia Biao, Li Ying, Han Rong and others. Jia Biao and Li Ying were the leaders of Shilin during the disaster of the party, while Han Rong was the great Honglu of the dynasty and held a high position.

In modern terms, Wang Lie's circle of friends is quite strong!

"It just so happens that Wen Ruo and Ben will visit the two great Confucians, the prince and the prince!"

"General, please!"

The two entered the interior of the recruitment hall one after the other.

From a distance, I saw two middle-aged scribes wearing Confucian robes and scarves sitting opposite each other.

"Wang Gong, Guan Gong, Rong is the introduction of the two below, this is the Marquis of Yongning, Pingzhou Mu, and Duliao General Shanggong. Lord, these two are the princes who are fierce and the princes are in charge! ”

The officials were diligent in introducing themselves to the crowd!

"Junior, Xun Yu, meet Master Wang, meet Guan Gong!"

"Ji Jiu has heard the names of the prince and the prince, and I am fortunate to see three lives today!"

"I've seen the general!"

Wang Lie and Guan Ning also returned the salute. As for Xun Yu, he is an inconspicuous junior here, and Wang Lie and the two smiled kindly, as for the solemn return gift, sorry, he is not qualified enough!

After everyone was seated, there were naturally waiters serving tea.

"The general cut down Xianbei, beheaded the thief chieftains, destroyed the yellow scarves, and protected the safety of the people, Wang admired! Replace water with tea, a cup of toast to the general! ”

Wang Lie said, raised the teacup, and said in a loud voice.

"The prince has a good reputation, defending the family and defending the country and protecting the people, this is his duty, and he deserves the praise of the prince!"

Shang Ji also immediately spoke politely.

"Dong thieves steal the country, the imperial family is dusty, the Central Plains is bandang, Guan and Brother Wang only hate to be a weak literati, and they can't crusade against Dong thief Kuangfu Han Dynasty, so they can only move to Liaodong to avoid troubled times. I am ashamed of the teachings of the saints! ”

Guan Ning next to him looked guilty and said out loud.

"Mencius said: The ancients have the ambition and add Ze to the people; Unwilling, self-cultivation is seen in the world. If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world. The two of them can refuse Dong Thief's conquest and not join the Dong Thief, they have done a good enough, and it is the duty of our warriors to crusade against Dong Zhuo Kuang to help the Han Dynasty, and the two of you must not blame yourself! Shang Ji persuaded gently.

Having said that, the expressions of the two were still a little depressed and ashamed. For people like them, who have very high moral requirements, it is actually a sin to escape.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Xun Yu interjected at the right time: "The two gentlemen came to Xiangping thousands of miles away, and they should create a better situation, how can they be so depressed and deflated!" ”

Wang Lie and Guan Ning glanced at each other, but saw Guan Ning smile and said: "Hahaha, Brother Wang, we are not as transparent as a junior, ashamed!" ”

Wang Lie also smiled: "Wen Ruo's lesson is also reasonable, Dong Thief Cholera Dynasty Gang deceived the world and stole his name, and he will inevitably be jointly attacked by the people of the world, with a hero like General Shang, it must not be difficult to stabilize the troubled times." It is not our ability to fight thieves and quell chaos, but self-cultivation and education of the people should be the best, and we should be high-spirited and make a modest contribution to the peace of the world! ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, the kid is arrogant, frivolous nonsense, thanks to the magnanimity of the two seniors!"

After arousing the fighting spirit of Wang Lie and the two, Xun Yu also immediately apologized to the two.

Shang Ji said with a smile: "Although Wen Ruo's words are a little inappropriate, but there is some truth, if you come, you will be safe, the two gentlemen can live in Xiangping with peace of mind, cultivate themselves and give lectures, educate the people, or take a look and shop!" ”

After Shang Ji finished speaking, he suddenly found that the three people present were all looking at him with strange expressions, Shang Ji couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what he said wrong.

After a while, Xun Yu coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "General, this is not the sentence that if you come, you will be safe is not used like this!" ”

"What?" Shang Ji was stunned, a little unclear.

"If you come, you will be safe and you will come out of the Analects Jizi, which means that since you have recruited them, you must settle them down!"

"Is that so?" Shang Ji's eyes widened suddenly, didn't this sentence mean to settle down since he came?

Glancing at the three of them, Shang Ji immediately gave up arguing, Wang Lie and Guan Ning are both great Confucians, and even Xun Yu is also recognized as a great talent, and the ink in his stomach must far exceed Shang Ji's half bottle!

Shang Ji couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and finally dragged an ancient sentence, but it turned out to be wrong! It's a bit of a class axe!

Fortunately, Shang Ji's position in the hearts of several people was not a literati but a general, and this little mistake was harmless.

In order to get rid of the embarrassment, Shang Ji directly changed the topic and said: "The prince and the prince have come from afar, and it is a great honor for Pingzhou. ”

He was engaged in the management of litigation and the adjudication of cases, and the book of Cao was engaged in the management of money, food and materials. Limited by the lack of government talents in Pingzhou, these two positions are currently held by Deng Yan.

However, as the stall in Pingzhou is getting bigger and bigger, Deng Yan is getting busier and busier, and continuing to shoulder a variety of positions is likely to lead to mistakes in his busyness.

Historically, Wang Lie was known for his fairness and strictness, helping villagers deal with disputes. More importantly, the prisoner who was punished by Wang Lie not only did not hold a grudge against him, but was grateful to Dade for looking back and reforming himself, and even became a moral benchmark. If Wang Lie can serve as the decisive Cao, Pingzhou's public security and people's will definitely be greatly improved!

And the book Cao is responsible for the management of money, food and materials, not to mention the great stakes, but also requires the incumbent to have a high moral standard! And Guan Ning is a moral model in this period, and Guan Ning does not have the word corruption in his dictionary!

Who knew that these two people didn't mean to move when they heard this, Guan Ning arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the general's fancy and awarding such a position, but the two of us are used to being idle and wild, and we have no intention of joining the government for the time being." Living far away in Liaodong, it is just to avoid the chaos of the Central Plains, teaching and educating people, self-cultivation is acceptable, this matter must not be mentioned by the general! ”

Shang Ji was suddenly a little stunned, what is the situation? Refusal to be a leader? Didn't these two people come to themselves under the influence of the recruiting platform? Why did you refuse to go out?

"Prince, you ......"

Shang Ji turned his gaze to Wang Lie again.

Wang Lie coughed lightly: "The general is very grateful for his love." However, Wang is not a talent, please forgive the general! ”

After a pause, Wang Lie added: "But the general has been sent, and Wang must do his best to help the general!" ”

Looking at Wang Lie and then at Guan Ning, Shang Ji remembered that in history, these two people seemed to have rejected the conquest of Gongsun Du's father and son and Cao Wei successively. Although there are some regrets in my heart, it is not unacceptable.

Clearing his throat, Shang Ji said: "Since the two of you have no intentions, it will not be difficult for you to be strong." The two of them will live in Pingzhou, there is Ben General, don't dare to say anything else, it's no problem to keep one side safe and tranquil! ”

"Thank you, General, for your magnanimity!"

"By the way, I wonder what the two of you are planning?"

Wang Lie and Guan Ning glanced at each other, but saw Wang Lie and said: "The two of us have no long things, only this ability to teach and educate people can barely see people, we plan to open a academy in Xiangping to teach the classics of the sages and educate talents for the country!" ”

Shang Ji was shocked when he heard this, and there was also a plan for the construction of senior colleges in Pingzhou's three-year plan, but when it was really implemented, he found that there were many difficulties!

The core content of the construction of the academy is the high-quality and high-level teaching team. This is closely related to the fact that countless great Confucians have opened altars and taught there!

It is not too much to say that Pingzhou is a cultural and educational desert, if it were not for the relationship between war and chaos, there would be a great Confucian to Pingzhou! It's a lot of money, and Confucianism either doesn't care about money, or doesn't need money!

If Xiangping Academy can have Wang Lie Guan Ning in charge, then there is the potential to be promoted to a top academy in terms of top teachers. And with the prestige of these two, it will be much easier to recruit students or hire teachers!

The talents cultivated by the academy are theoretically not Shang Ji's subordinates, but if Shang Ji can't even handle the students of Xiangping Academy, then what face does he have to compete with the princes for hegemony in the world?

A stable talent pipeline is a key factor in the healthy development of a force!

Thinking of this, Shang Ji was suddenly a little glad that Wang Lie and the others refused to go out, and letting them teach and educate people in the academy was much more meaningful than being a deciding officer!

"It's not a secret, I'm planning to build a high-level academy in Pingzhou, but I don't have a top Confucian in charge, if the two of you are interested, why don't you take up the position of the head and supervisor of Xiangping Academy? The two of them rest assured that they are just the head of the academy, not the officials of Pingzhou, and it does not affect the principle of the two not being officers! ”

Listening to what Shang Ji said, the two of them suddenly moved. If they simply rely on their own strength to teach and educate people in Pingzhou, they will only have dozens or hundreds of students to death. But with the strong support of Shang Ji, the Pingzhou pastor, it is different, and it is not impossible to have peach and plum all over the world!

People like them may not care about high-ranking officials, and they don't change color when they add axes, but few people can resist the temptation of becoming a generation of literary masters! They naturally have a mission to preach and teach!

"Dare to ask the general, how much money and food does this so-called Xiangping Academy have every year? How many students are enrolled each year? What are the student restrictions? In the end, Guan Ning was more reserved and asked a few more important questions.

"Guan Gong thinks he needs as much food as he wants, and he thinks he can recruit as many students as he wants. Ji's answer, I don't know if Guan Gong is satisfied? ”

"Hiss......"

Rao is Wang Lie and Guan Ning have good hearts, and they were also calmed by Shang Ji's answer, and allocated money and food without restrictions, but few people dared to promise like this. Shang Ji was also sure that Guan Ning would not waste money indiscriminately to dare to guarantee like this, and he would not dare to boast about it if he changed to someone else!

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "The general's love, I'm ashamed!" ”
