Chapter 223 Talent Arrangement(1/2)

Facing the inquiry from Wei Marquis Wei Feng in front of him, Gongsun Qi, as the Prime Minister, immediately bowed and told the result that he had already prepared in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I and a group of important ministers have read the silk books presented one by one and have some opinions on the talents of the scholars."

"Based on the text on the silk script, after some discussions, I and other important ministers concluded that the knowledge of these scholars is still relatively immature and superficial."

"Some scholars seem to be talking eloquently about the general trend of the world, but in fact they are just empty talk, but they lack a bit of down-to-earth calmness."

"According to your Majesty's previous distinction between talented people, most of the scholars can only manage the township, and even handling the government affairs of a county is very difficult."

Sitting on the throne, after listening to the situation reported by Gongsun Qi, Wei Feng did not show much surprise on his face.

In fact, he had already made some predictions about the outcome this time. After all, in his previous life, he had met many so-called "celebrities" who only talked but had no real talent.

However, after seeing countless "famous people", Wei Feng finally met an important minister he relied on most in his later period. This was the famous and talented Hui Shi.

This Prime Minister of Wei State, who had debated with his old friend Zhuangzi, proposed the strategy of unification for Wei Feng in his previous life, which also allowed Wei State to maintain its prestige after experiencing a disastrous defeat.

After experiencing countless famous people before meeting Hui Shi, Wei Feng already understood the truth in his heart: "Scholarships are easy to come by, but great talents are hard to find."

In Wei Feng's view, as long as he can produce a great talent like Hui Shi, his "Order to Seek Talent" issued to the world will be in vain.

Just now Gongsun Qi said that most of the scholars were talents from the countryside. Wei Feng did not feel the slightest bit depressed in his heart. He was looking forward to what kind of surprises those few scholars would bring to him.

Facing Wei Feng's expectant look on his face, Gongsun Qi, who originally wanted to get away with it, knew that he had to tell the good news.

"Since your Majesty has guessed what I'm thinking, I can only tell the truth."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Gongsun Qi's originally solemn face, "Although most scholars are talkative people, there are also some who are talented and down-to-earth."

"I believe that these people are already qualified to handle the government affairs of a county. Even if the affairs of a county are entrusted to outstanding people, they can still be completed."

"As for the two most outstanding scholars among these, I believe that as long as they are trained properly, they will become great talents who can assist the emperor and strengthen the Wei State."

"oh!"

Wei Feng, as the Marquis of Wei, knew what kind of talents Gongsun Qi had. It can be said that he was an extremely outstanding talent in both government affairs and military matters.

Through Wei's two foreign wars, Gongsun Qi, who was in charge of planning, had already proved his outstanding military talents with brilliant victories.

As for being able to spot the current shortcomings of the Wei state in terms of government affairs, Gongsun Qi's talent is also evident.

Nowadays, Gongsun Qi, who is a great talent and holds a high position, would actually have such high praise for the two ordinary scholars in his words. This made Wei Feng inevitably feel a little curious.

"The Prime Minister is always cautious in recommending talents, but he always recommends great talents. If nothing else, let me just say that General Pang Juan was promoted by the Prime Minister from the army."

"Now that the Prime Minister has such high regard for these two scholars, I am somewhat interested in these two talents who are supporting the country in the Prime Minister's mouth."

When Gongsun Qi heard what Wei Feng said, his eyes flashed brightly, and then he saw him take out two silk books from his sleeves.

Slowly stepping forward and presenting it to Wei Feng, he heard Gongsun Qi say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these are the silk books of two scholars. Your Majesty will know what their talents are like when they take a look."

Amid Gongsun Qi's words, Wei Feng took the two silk books from the other party's hands. When he slowly opened one of them, a very familiar name appeared in front of his eyes.

"Sun Boling!"

When this name, which he once ranked alongside Gongsun Yang and whom he hated so much, appeared in front of him, Wei Feng instinctively read it out with a bit of gritted teeth.

In his previous life, it was this man who assisted the Wei State in Guiling and Ma Ling defeated the Wei army twice, thereby severely damaging the powerful Wei State under his rule.

It can be said that it was Sun Boling, the author of the silk book in his hand, who single-handedly pulled Wei Feng down from the throne of the world's overlord. How could he calmly treat this name that he once hated so much?

But after all, those were just experiences in his previous life. In this life, since he can use Gongsun Yang, who once attacked Wei State in Hexi from behind, why can't he face Sun Boling calmly?

Without spending much time, Wei Feng slowly suppressed the waves in his heart caused by the bad memories and focused all his attention on the silk book in his hand.

As his eyes continued to shift between the seal characters, the expression on Wei Feng's face gradually became full of appreciation.

It has to be said that Sun Boling was able to assist Qi State in defeating Wei State twice as a military advisor in his previous life. Sun Boling's talents, especially in military matters, are completely admirable.

For example, in the silk book in Wei Feng's hand, Sun Boling proposed a way other than marching from Guanzhong based on the division of power between Wei, Qin and the barbarians in the northwest.

That is to send a large army to conquer Yiqu and Wushi. While seizing their good land to build horse farms, they also surrounded the Qin State in the west from the east and north.

Once the situation is mature, Wei can send a large army from Guanzhong to attack Yongcheng, and at the same time dispatch a rapid assault legion composed of cavalry to directly penetrate Yongcheng from the north of Qin.

Seeing the outcome of the war envisioned by Sun Boling in this silk book, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face. He seemed to be able to see the day when all Qin's territory would be included in Wei's territory.

This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! He kept looking at it and never left it. It was not until a long time later that Wei Feng slowly put down the silk book in his hand.

Raising his head and looking at his Prime Minister, Wei Feng immediately let out a sigh, "Sure enough, as the Prime Minister said, this Sun Boling is indeed a rare talent in the world. If we can get this person, our Wei State will be powerful.

Our army will surely be even more powerful than a tiger."

"Your Majesty knows people well, I admire you in my heart." Faced with Wei Feng's judgment of Sun Boling which was the same as his own, Gongsun Qi immediately said: "For your information, Your Majesty, I think this person is good at strategy and warfare.

His talent is already rare in the world today."

"I asked myself that when it comes to war, I don't dare to defeat this Sun Boling. What I have more than him is just some experience."

"If this person can join our Kingdom of Wei and gain some experience, he will be extremely suitable to take on the position of Sima in charge of a country's conquests in the future."

When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something. Gongsun Qi immediately said with a smile: "I still have something to report. Your Majesty may not know that Sun Boling and I, the general of Wei, are from the same school."

Regarding the news reported by Gongsun Qi, Wei Feng, who had experienced everything in his previous life, naturally knew it well. To be more precise, he had personally experienced the entire process from being close to becoming enemies.

In fact, if we want to clarify the grievances and resentments between Pang Juan and Sun Boling, it is just that the gap between the two has been shrinking, which has caused an imbalance in Pang Juan's heart.

Just like when a poor relative defectes to the family, the wealthy party will definitely treat him very warmly at the beginning, in order to show his quality of caring about old relationships.

And when this poor relative acquires more and more wealth due to some things, the originally harmonious relationship between the two parties is bound to deteriorate as the gap gradually narrows.

What's more, as a wealthy general of Wei State, Pang Juan, he was never a cheerful person.

If you turn to him for help when you are in poverty and helpless, he will definitely do his best to help you;

But if you gradually become stronger and even make him feel threatened, he will definitely kill you without hesitation.

It is obvious that Wei Feng in the previous life was a sword in Pang Juan's hand, completing his mission of eliminating Sun Boling, who was first a friend and then an enemy.

However, now and then, after experiencing all kinds of things in his previous life, Wei Feng had the confidence to transform from the original long sword to a sword wielder.

Whether it's Pang Juan's sharp sword, or Sun Boling's hidden sword, Wei Feng is confident that he can turn them into swords on his waist to help Wei conquer the world.

When the thought in his mind came to this point, Wei Feng immediately said with surprise on his face: "Oh, there is such a thing?"

After being surprised, the expression on Wei Feng's face immediately turned into a smile, "In this case, it is a good news that our fellow apprentices and brothers are in the imperial court of Wei State."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

After talking about Sun Boling, who was very likely to become the Great Sima of the Wei State in the future, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi turned their attention to another person.

This time, Wei Feng did not look at the other silk book in his hand first, but looked directly at Gongsun Qi opposite.

"As the Prime Minister said, this Sun Boling does have a strategy, but I don't know what another great talent will do?"

Facing Wei Feng's questioning look towards him, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed and said, "Speaking of this great talent, your Majesty has personally talked with him before."

"Talk to him in person?"

After hearing what Gongsun Qi said, Wei Feng first had some doubts in his heart, and then seemed to suddenly think of something.

"If I remember correctly, what Xiangguo said should be Xu Yan, a scholar from Linzi of Qi State, right?"

"It is this person." After Gongsun Qi agreed, he immediately introduced him in a deep voice, "When this person was talking to the emperor earlier, I saw that this person is extraordinary."

"Through the silk letter he wrote, I believe that this person is indeed unique in diplomatic relations."

"His handsome face makes people fall in love with him at first sight, and his sharp tongue makes it easier to convince others."

"And from the silk book written by him, it can be seen that this person has a very detailed understanding of the subtle relationships among the princes of the world."

"I think that if I can get a little more experience, your Majesty will send this person as an envoy to various countries to lobby the monarch, and there will be no disadvantages."

After Wei Feng carefully listened to Gongsun Qi's evaluation of Xu Yan, he immediately looked at the other silk book in his hand with some solemnity.

On this silk book, Wei Feng seemed to see another person he loved and hated in his previous life, using his words to persuade the princes of the world. Who in the world can ignore that figure in the Chu Palace?

After a long time, with the somewhat complicated emotions in his heart, Wei Feng gently put down the silk book in his hand, and at the same time, he sighed.

"Xu Yan is indeed the perfect choice for a pedestrian."

After saying this sentence, Wei Feng's eyes kept shifting between the two silk books, and then he looked straight at Gongsun Qi opposite.

"Just now, the Prime Minister said that most of the scholars from various countries who arrived in our Wei State are talents from the countryside. It just so happens that our Wei State is now fully implementing the county system, but there are some vacancies for rural officials. In this case, they will be sent to various places.

In the county and township.”

"The Prime Minister can tell them that if they perform well, we, the State of Wei, will definitely promote them according to their political performance; if they look down on the official position in this village, we, the State of Wei, will also give them money to return to their home country."

"Those scholars who the Prime Minister thought could be in charge of a county were also sent to the counties of Wei State to become county magistrates or county magistrates according to their talents."

"As for Sun Boling and Xu Yan, who were recommended by the Prime Minister this time..."

While speaking, Wei Feng looked at the two silk books in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I want to meet them."

"I will obey your orders."



"Your Majesty Xu Yan, please retire."

In the back hall, a sound of resignation sounded, and Xu Yan, who had finished his interview, slowly exited the hall.
