Chapter 121 The Recruitment Order from Mount Tai
——Today our meeting has two themes. One is to sort out the affairs after we take over Mount Tai, and the other is to discuss and decide on the work policy for next year. —Chen Xi
When Yang Ji walked to the gate of the side hall dedicated to the meeting, Xu Chu was already standing guard outside the gate of the side hall, and there were even tiger guards led by Xu Chu scattered around.
"Hey, Zhongkang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your strength has improved a lot. It seems that they are all here," Yang Ji greeted Xu Chu.
Xu Chu patted his head honestly, "This is all thanks to the gravity bracelet you made for me, Ziyu." Xu Chu showed Yang Ji the gravity bracelet on his wrist.
"All the people who are qualified to participate in the meeting have arrived. Now you are the only one missing. Come in quickly and don't keep them waiting." Xu Chu opened the door and said to Yang Ji.
Yang Ji nodded to Xu Chu, then walked straight through the door and walked into the side hall. At the same time, he was still thinking that Xu Chu's performance today was really very different from before.
If it were Xu Chu in the past, he would probably have opened the door directly and let Yang Ji in instead of saying a few words to Yang Ji at the door. Moreover, Xu Chu in the past could not say what he just said.
After Yang Ji walked in, he saw a long table in the middle, just like the current conference room. Yang Ji glanced at it and saw that everything that should come had already arrived.
Liu Bei sat at the top of the table, and the rest were divided into civil servants and military officers on both sides. The civil servants' side was already full, and there was only one empty chair at the top of the table for the generals.
Yang Jicai didn't care whether he was classified as a civil servant or a military general, as long as he remembered to leave a seat for himself, it was true. Although he didn't know why he was classified as a military general.
After sitting down, Yang Jicai discovered that Xu Shu was actually here, and he was still sitting next to the civil servants. Although he was sitting at the bottom of the table, being able to sit here actually represented the will of Liu Bei and Chen Xi. .
Chen Xi stood up and saluted Liu Bei first, then scanned the audience, "Since Ziyu has arrived, let's officially start today's meeting.
The themes of today's meeting are: Two, one is to sort out the specific affairs after we take over Taishan this year, and the other is to discuss and decide the major policies for next year." Chen Xi wrote the two themes of today's meeting with chalk on the blackboard.
"Let's talk about our current situation first. Since we took over Mount Tai in May, we have taken in a large number of refugees with work-for-relief services..." Chen Xi slowly recounted their achievements after taking over Mount Tai. As you can see, everyone present here has a proud smiling face.
"The above is what we have achieved in the past four months," Chen Xi put down the report in his hand. At the same time, the blackboard was filled with keywords that Chen Xi had detected.
"Bei once again thanks Zichuan for your help." After listening to Chen Xi's work report, Liu Bei finally had a clearer understanding of his territory.
It's not that Liu Bei didn't know the changes in Mount Tai before, but in the face of the data listed by Chen Xi, Liu Bei can more intuitively feel how big the changes in Mount Tai are.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, Mr. Xuande. Five hundred thousand people and ten million stones of food are barely enough." Chen Xi said helplessly.
With his ability, he can only achieve this level at this stage. Even with Zhao Yun, he traveled all over Mount Tai and taught some planting techniques to increase production to the people.
However, the limitations of population, cultivated land area, and improved varieties have already determined that Mount Tai's grain output will not be too high this year, which will barely meet Chen Xi's plan.
In addition, the 10 million dan of grain is just for grain production. It does not mean that the taxes they collect are so much. According to the farming order made by Zhao Yun, 40% in the first three years, After that, the tax rate of 30% will be restored.
In other words, Taishan County's current grain output is 10 million dan, and the tax they can collect is about 4 million to 4.5 million dan of grain.
And because there are no middlemen, they can only get so much tax, and after the people pay the tax, what is left is the people's own rations.
With these four million stones of grain entering the warehouse, many of Chen Xi's plans have a basis for execution. Although the plan can be implemented by purchasing Xuzhou's grain.
But this is food. In troubled times, only food is the real hard currency. Buying food from other people is ultimately a castle in the air. As long as others remove this beam, the Taishan County they finally built will really be lost. Give it to someone else.
With these four million grains, their plan for Qingzhou can officially begin, although they have also sent people to various parts of Qingzhou to mix sand.
But because his foundation has not been laid firmly, Chen Xi doesn’t really want to fill it with too much bait. What Chen Xi wants now is stability. As long as he can survive the days when his family has no food output, then What happens next is just a matter of course.
"Four million stones of food is enough to support us until next summer's harvest. Even if we include the refugees in Qingzhou, we can still survive." Chen Xi directly defined the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou as refugees.
After all, they are all a group of wanderers on the land of Qingzhou. They do not have a stable residence, and there is no large self-sufficient wandering group. They are not refugees. How can they be rebels? Don't be kidding.
"In the process of conquering Qingzhou, my suggestion is to build wherever we attack. The same is true for Zilong's farming order. Then we will be in trouble for Zilong."
Chen Xi put down his hand. Report, and said to Zhao Yun seriously, this time Zhao Yun can be said to be wearing two hats. He has to perform his duties as a general and at the same time, he has to perform his duties as a field commander.
But for Zhao Yun, these are not big problems. After all, as a person with inner energy separated from the body and awakened spiritual talent, he has such awesome ability to withstand pressure.
Although Zhao Yun still has the spiritual talent to awaken, it is only for the past few days. He is waiting for the autumn grain harvest to be completed, which is when Zhao Yun awakens.
Zhao Yun nodded, "Will the refugees gathered at that time be placed directly in the field camp, or will there be other arrangements?" Zhao Yun also followed Chen Xi's words and named the armed gangs wandering in Qingzhou. For refugees.
Chen Xi looked through the report in his hand and said to Zhao Yun, "It's better to settle them in your field camp. After all, you still have to give these refugees something to do to eliminate their alertness, otherwise they will really... "
While listening to Chen Xi's report carefully, Yang Ji was thinking about other things. It was not that Yang Ji didn't want to hear these data, but that Yang Ji was concerned about these things. No sense.
After all, Yang Ji was just an ordinary person in his previous life. Even if he could know these data from news reports on TV, he only knew it. As for wanting him to understand the behind-the-scenes of these data meaning, then don’t think too much about it.
The secrets hidden in it are not something that ordinary people like Yang Ji can study and understand, and these things are too far away from the daily life of Yang Ji as an ordinary civilian. They are not what Yang Ji should pay attention to, he should What I am concerned about is whether I have earned enough money to eat that day.
Even if there is an opportunity to learn this knowledge now, or Chen Xi is very happy to teach Yang Ji this knowledge, because if Yang Ji can learn even a little bit, he can learn some related knowledge. The matter was left to Yang Ji to handle. It's a pity that Yang Ji is not interested in this knowledge. If he has time, he might as well deduce how to extend the existing mental power system, so that people who major in mental power can also achieve the sixth realm similar to the martial arts golden elixir. exist.
Yang Ji was thinking about whether the warriors in this world can condense a martial arts golden elixir when they are in the sixth realm, can those who major in spiritual power also condense a special Dao fruit? '.
Then Yang Ji heard Chen Xi talking about business competition, how to manipulate the aristocratic family, and then extended from the aristocratic family to Xun Yu who was under Cao Cao's command at some point.
And he shamelessly said that he had to join forces with Lu Su to compete with Xun Yu. After talking about Xun Yu's abilities, let's talk about Xun Yu's connections.
In short, he belittled his ability to the point of complete disgrace, making Xun Yu look like a 'god-man', while he himself was just an ordinary person with some ability.
Then the poor plan appeared, "Since the talents of the aristocratic families will not be used by us, then we will invite talented people from all over the world to join Mount Tai!" Chen Xi stood up from the chair and saluted Liu Bei.
"Please Xuande Gong issue a recruitment order to recruit talents from all over the world, regardless of origin, only ask for talents!" Chen Xi's voice made everyone present feel Chen Xi's determination.
Everyone present except Yang Ji and Liu Bei were shocked by Chen Xi's recruitment order, especially Lu Su and Fan Qin, who had already realized that if this recruitment order was true, If it spreads throughout the world, they may really extirpate themselves from the family.
Fan Qin was just stunned for a moment, and then stood firmly beside his brother-in-law, firmly supporting Liu Bei in issuing this recruitment order, even though he was the only son of aristocratic family present.
But Chen Xi's ability alone is enough to overthrow the entire Han Dynasty family, not to mention the incomprehensible Yang Jizhu. Now military and political affairs are all at stake. Now that they are in their hands, what can those aristocratic families do to compete with them?
Although the rest of the people don't know what kind of impact the Han Dynasty will have after issuing the talent recruitment order, they know what the talent introduction policy that the Han Dynasty has been implementing.
The imperial examination system, a system that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty since it was perfected by the Han Dynasty, was later controlled by aristocratic families. Now Chen Xi actually wants to use it to recruit talents. How could they not be shocked by Ling breaking the family's monopoly?
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew very well that once he issued this recruitment order, it would mean that he had broken the recommendation system that had been in place for four hundred years, or in other words, twelve hundred years.
Although he is not the first prince to break this recommendation, the current world has just changed from the world of military nobles to the world of aristocratic families.
But if he does not have the courage to break the existing rules and rebuild the world, how can he realize his desire to rebuild the Han family's world, as well as the ideals of everyone here...
Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi, who had a firm look on his face, and said softly, "Zichuan, let me draw up the recruitment order."
Chen Xi moved his lips, but still didn't say anything, just said lightly to Liu Bei He nodded lightly, and then looked at Lu Su, who was still tugging at his sleeves, and Fan Qin, who looked indifferent.
Chen Xi said, "Xuan Degong was not the first person to do this. Someone had done this long ago in history. Qin Xiaogong's order to recruit talents was exchanged for Shang Yang's reform, which directly wiped out the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The seven hundred years of chaos since then"
Chen Xi looked at Lu Su who was still holding on to his sleeve and said a famous figure again, "King Yan Zhao built a golden platform to recruit talents from all over the world. It was just the move, and then Qi Guo... Zijing, you tell me."
Lu Su was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was doing, and quickly let go of Chen Xi's sleeves, "Ahem, Yan The country was so weak that the capital was once attacked by Qi.
King Yan Zhao, who succeeded to the throne, could only look at the ruined capital and sigh. It was so difficult to change the status quo of the weak Yan State, and the wise men in the world only came in and out of the Qi State, and would not be nostalgic for the weak Yan State.
King Yan Zhao had no choice but to build a high platform and invite wise men from all over the world. Guo Wei offered a plan to buy horse bones. Then the wise men from all over the world recognized King Yan Zhao’s sincerity, so Le Yi, Zou Yan, and Ju Xin entered the Yan Kingdom, followed by The state of Qi was almost destroyed by Le Yi. ”
After Lu Su threw out the messy thoughts in his mind, he directly threw out a basket of historical allusions, demonstrating his familiarity with historical allusions.
At the same time, he also made everyone present People who don't know the second example know the story of Jinjintai. As for the story of Shang Yang's reform, it is so classic that even Zhang Fei can tell it succinctly.
Lu Su was awakened by Chen Xi just now. After that, I just thought that Chen Xi asked him to tell these historical allusions so that he could leave a good impression in other people's minds
I didn't expect that this was because Chen Xi was not familiar with the history. He only knew that this person existed, but he couldn't deal with people and things.
Listening to the names mentioned by Lu Su, Yang Ji seemed to know only Le Yi and Zou Yan. After all, these two people had appeared in textbooks.
As for the other people who appeared in Lu Su's mouth, Yang Ji was not very familiar with them. He had a feeling that he had seen this name somewhere but felt strange at the same time.
“Please remember, Mr. Xuande, that there are many talented people in the world. The Jixia Academy in Qi State claims to have gathered all the talented people in the world, but when King Yanzhao worshiped Le Yi on the Golden Platform, Nuo The big Qi State couldn't stop the weak Yan State and was almost destroyed.
Our situation now is so similar to that of King Yan Zhao. The talents of the Han Dynasty seem to be completely captured by the aristocratic families, but I I'm sure that as long as you issue a recruitment order, there will be talented people who can't stand the behavior of the aristocratic family and help us defeat the counterattack from the aristocratic family and rebuild the world of the Han Dynasty!"
Chen Xi stood up and saluted Liu Bei, "Please give the order to Duke Xuande!"
Lu Su stood up and took a deep breath and also saluted, "Please give the order to Duke Xuande!"
Yang Ji stood up and made a little noise, waking up the others who were still immersed in Lu Su's story, and then said in unison:
"Please give the order, my lord, to invite talents from all over the world to Mount Tai!" ”
At the end of September in 190, Liu Bei, the general of Anton, gave an order to recruit talents from all over the world to Mount Tai, regardless of their origins or past, only their talents and virtues. Five hundred years since Queen Yan Zhao, Volume 2 The recruitment order appears. (Excerpted from Chapter 75 of "The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms", "Order to Recruit Talents")
When can I write such a sentence? Hey.
