"King!"

The general immediately made a plop, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "I dare not ask for a thousand pieces of gold. I am willing to serve the king, but I will die!"

What Qing Ji did did indeed make the generals feel grateful and burst into tears.

A seven-foot-tall man burst into tears in front of King Wu Qingji!

The general never expected that in a twist of events, he presented his male and female swords, and Qing Ji actually entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, becoming a great work order second only to Jiu Qing.

How can this make the general feel like a confidant is dead?

Now, even if Qing Ji orders his generals to go through fire and water, the latter will not even frown!

"No, you still have to take the reward of one thousand taels of gold."

Qingji smiled calmly.

What Qingji wants is this kind of effect!

A reward of a thousand pieces of gold, plus an official position in the Great Work Order, were all given to a blacksmith with a humble background. How could this not make the world's scholars ready to take action?

Just imagine, Qing Ji can even accept people like generals, let alone other talented people with truly great talents?

This is exactly the principle of buying bones with a thousand pieces of gold!

Even if the go-getters are not qualified for the position and do not have that kind of talent, the position of Dagong Ling is already well-equipped with talents. As long as the go-getters don't mess around, everything can be carried out in an orderly manner, and naturally there will be no mistakes.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Qing Ji decided to appoint the cadre general to carry out the Great Work Order of the State of Wu!

This official position is equivalent to the senior official of all the countries in the Central Plains. The status is very respected, but it will not be hereditary and will not be replaced!

"General, your wife Mo Xie is very virtuous, and she must be able to manage the family well. I plan to let Mo Xie enter the palace as a female official, what do you think?"

Qingji asked again.

"Your Majesty, this is an honor for Mo Xie and my subordinates! Your Majesty has shown me the kindness to rebuild, and I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's high expectations!"

The general agreed wholeheartedly.

After returning, Gan Jiang told Mo Xie about this matter again!

Mo Xie was quite puzzled, but he did not resist Qing Ji's order to join the palace as a female official.

After all, Mo Xie inherited her father's business and was also a swordsmith, but her interest was not in that!

Moye just wants to find someone who loves each other, and live a life of men farming and women weaving, growing old together, and does not pursue fame or wealth.

Because Mo Xie knows very well that Vanity Fair is a place of right and wrong!

Once you get involved, it's like being stuck in a quagmire and it's hard to extricate yourself.

Now that her husband's general has fallen into trouble, Moye can't turn a blind eye!

Even so, Mo Xie always felt baffled.

Is it possible that Qing Ji covets her own beauty? Does she miss a married woman like herself?

Shouldn't, shouldn't...

Moye shook his head quickly and threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind.

…

The next morning, under the instruction of King Wu Qingji, groups of soldiers walked through the streets and alleys, beating gongs and drums, lest the world would not know that the first candidate to ascend the golden stage had appeared!

Swordsmith - Go-getter!

This shocked passers-by who heard the news.

Fan Li and other scholars from various countries in the crowd were even more stunned!

How could a mere blacksmith (swordsmith) be entrusted with an important task by the King of Wu?

People who felt shocked and uncertain rushed to the recruitment platform one after another, trying to see the truth of the matter.

At this time, Qingji was already wearing a gongmian and a long crown, standing on the recruitment platform.

The general, who was dressed in Gebu clothes and looked exactly like an ordinary Lishu, knelt in front of Qing Ji, respectfully, as if he were facing a god in his heart!

Qingji solemnly took the seal and ribbon of the Great Work Order from the eunuch on one side, handed it to the general, and asked someone to move out a box containing a thousand taels of gold, all of which were rewarded to the general.

Under the golden stage, those who saw this scene could not help but feel envious and jealous in their hearts!

How great would it be if you were a go-getter?

"How can this be true? How can it really be true?"

"How can a mere blacksmith be awarded the title of Great Workmanship and be given a large amount of gold? What kind of virtue and talent does he have as a general? Isn't he just good at forging swords?"

"In the land of Wuyue, there are countless blacksmiths and swordsmiths. A certain person is also a swordsmith. Why can't he be valued by the king and given gold and knighthood?"

Among the crowd, a shirtless man couldn't help but his eyes turned red when he saw the gold seal hanging on the general, and he said sourly.

The middle-aged man on one side couldn't help laughing and said: "Strong man, I can only say that everything depends on chance. You are not valued by the king and are given gold and titles like generals. Mostly because the opportunity has not come!"

"really?"

"Otherwise, it is possible that this general also has other talents. Otherwise, how could he be granted the title of Great Work Order by the King?"

The shirtless man touched his head, feeling a little confused.

At this time, a young scholar asked in confusion: "What is the official position of this great work order of the State of Wu?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at the young scholar and said, "Judging from your accent, you should be from Wei?"

"Exactly. I'm from Weiguo. I heard that King Wu was thirsty for talents, so I came to answer the call!"

"Easy to say!"

The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and said: "The Great Work Order is a unique official position in our country of Wu. Originally, the Wu Chengzhou system was no different from other countries in the Central Plains in terms of official system and military system!"

"However, some time ago, the king restructured the government and implemented the system of three ministers and nine ministers in the court. The official position of this great work order is second only to the nine ministers. It is responsible for the production of weapons and has considerable authority. It is roughly equivalent to the senior officials of other countries!"

"hiss!"

Hearing this, the young scholars, including everyone around them, couldn't help but take a breath and were shocked!

Go to the doctor!

This is a doctor!

Throughout a country, the senior official is the mainstay, second only to the ministers, and even in some small countries, the senior official is already the highest official!

Belongs to the category of the first of all officials!

The young scholar couldn't help but said in amazement: "Having been made a great official and given a daughter of gold, could this general be so favored by the King of Wu because of the blessing of his ancestors?"

"That's right! Think of him as a go-getter. He's just a blacksmith. He should be from a commoner family and not a nobleman. How can he be qualified to be a doctor?"

"Wu Wang is like this. Isn't he abandoning his roots to pursue his inferiors? How can a blacksmith be called a virtuous man when he seeks talents?"

Everyone was very angry.

They are even more jealous of the generals who have been awarded gold and titles. They wish they could replace them and kneel on the golden platform right now!

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know whether this general is protected by the shadow of his ancestors. However, he is indeed a virtuous man!"

"Don't you, the second and third sons, hear what the king wrote earlier in the order to seek talents?... Regardless of one's origin, one should only be based on talent. If there is an elder with skills, I can use them!"
