Chapter 241: Xiao Pei seeks talent
Xiaopei is just a small place, but after all, this is where Liu Bei's soldiers were before, and Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness are known to the world, and I don't know how many literati admire him very much.
It is precisely because of this that there are indeed some admirers in Xiaopei City, but in the end, they pounced on an empty scholar.
In addition, after Cao Ang wrote the order to seek merit, Corporal Lixian, many people also had the idea of seeing this Cao Gongzi, and presented a letter of worship to Cao Ang.
In Xiaopei County, there was already a long queue at the door at this time, and in addition to the literati, some three or five rough people actually came here to join in the fun.
For these people, Cao Anmin, who was responsible for maintaining law and order, did not stop them, and not only that, but also took the initiative to explain Cao Ang's desire to seek talent for these people.
"Whether you are rich in five cars or don't know a few big characters, don't worry too much, at the moment Xiaopei is in ruins, as long as you have the heart to help my son and have a skill, you can stay!"
But almost at the same time as such words were spoken, I saw a literati in this mansion angrily come out.
I saw that this literati was dressed in brocade, and he seemed to be a son of a wealthy family, and his face still showed a strong anger, even after leaving this mansion, he still scolded loudly.
"Cao Gongzi! I am good at poetry and poetry, but you just let me be a little official, this is what you said about Qingqing Zijin and my heart? ”
When such words were uttered, they naturally attracted the attention of many other literati.
The angry scholar walked out at this time, and after saying such words, he seemed to feel unrelieved, and then continued to speak to the literati next to him.
"You don't have to line up here, this Cao Gongzi escaped from Xu Du, and now Prime Minister Cao Cheng is sending troops to capture Cao Gongzi!"
"Not to mention that it can't be reused in this Xiaopei City, you can only be an ordinary official, even if it is this little official, when Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army comes, it will be turned into ashes!"
After such words were spoken, it immediately caused a commotion at the gate of this mansion, and many scholars who heard that Cao Ang was noble and planned to take this opportunity to climb Cao Cao, a powerful minister, showed hesitation.
But even so, these people are still not very sure, after all, this Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son after all, no matter what, the relationship between the father and son will not be so stiff, right?
After hearing such words, many scholars were still a little hesitant, obviously not believing the words of this scholar.
In an instant, many people's eyes were on Cao Anmin, who was maintaining law and order at the gate, as if they were going to let him explain.
Cao Anmin saw that many people's eyes were on him for a moment, and he didn't hesitate at this time, so he nodded directly.
"What this gentleman said is right, Cao Gongzi did escape from Xu Capital City, if you plan to take this opportunity to climb the big tree of Prime Minister Cao, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"My son-in-law is willing to break away from Prime Minister Cao Cheng and develop alone in this Xiaopei, although it is only for a county order, but he is also willing to do his part to crusade against the rebellious Yuan Shu and maintain the territory of the Han family!"
Such words were said with great firmness, and after such words were spoken, the people in line around them immediately fell into polarization.
Among them, those scholars who planned to take this opportunity to intersect with Cao Cao shook their heads and left, and those literati who finally came to the Han family were all brightened up after hearing such words.
It's just that now the Han family is weakened and people are flustered, and there are still far fewer people loyal to the Han family than those who see the wind and steer the rudder.
After Cao Anmin's high-sounding words came out, the long queue that had been queuing up before immediately dispersed, and in the end, there were only a dozen people left.
And even if there are a dozen of them, there are eight or nine people who look tall and illiterate.
But even so, Cao Anmin's attitude towards these people has not changed, and he continues to solve these people's doubts.
Because the number of people was much smaller in an instant, the people who had already lined up outside the government office also entered the government office at this time.
I saw a young man who was neither humble nor arrogant to evaluate and inquire about these people who came to visit.
From his introduction, many people knew that this young man who looked almost the same as ordinary people was actually the eldest son of Prime Minister Cao Cheng!
As Cao Ang said before, Cao Ang is indeed thirsty for talent.
Among this group of people, there were those who were good at numeracy, and Cao Ang would let them manage taxes and household registration, and there were those who were good at calligraphy, and Cao Ang would let them draft various notices and handle various government affairs.
Although the official positions are not high, they can be regarded as division according to aptitude.
However, the appearance of the next person made all the scholars present fall into doubt.
I saw that this scholar was nine feet tall, extremely tall, with a beard on his face, just like a northern man.
After seeing Cao Ang, he didn't know how to salute Cao Ang, so after Dong Shi bowed down, he spoke straightforwardly.
"I haven't read a book, I heard that there are people here to take care of and there is a front, can I stay with my son?"
As soon as he said that, many scholars around him sneered.
This Cao Ang is under the order to seek talent, this person has never read a book, what kind of fun is there here!
After hearing such words, Rao is Cao Ang couldn't help but smile, but he didn't mean to be humiliated.
Cao Ang knew that although this big man was ordinary, he was the epitome of many people, and once he showed his disdain for this big man, it was very likely that many ordinary people would change their views of him.
Nodding his head and understanding what the other party meant, he asked again.
"As long as you have a skill, you can help my son succeed, and you can stay, I don't know what strengths this strong man has?"
After such an inquiry was issued, the big man also scratched his head at this time, and after thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked.
"I'm good at eating, I can eat three bowls in one meal, and the people in the village call me a rice bucket, is this a strength?"
The big man said this, Rao is everyone present is quite a cultivated scholar, and at this time, he couldn't help laughing, and even the scholar directly proposed to let the big man leave by himself, don't lose face here.
After Cao Ang heard such words, although he also laughed, it was just a bold smile.
"Haha! You can only have strength when you can eat, and the appearance of a strong man should not be a showman, you can choose a guard, as long as you can defeat them, it is enough to prove the skill of a strong man! ”
