Chapter 72 The style of this notice seems to be a bit wrong, doesn't it?
But he said,
After Lu You escaped, the infantry led by Cao Ren directly entered the county town.
Yue Jin, who was in charge of the cavalry, was chasing the deserters from behind and collecting more surrendered soldiers.
There is no way, Boss Cao pointed out that he wants people, wants people, wants people!
Their goal this time is to clear out the troops outside Pengcheng, and finally surround Pengcheng with Cao Cao's army.
Lu You, the guard general of Guangqi County, ignored Yi Ji's dissuasion and insisted on leaving the city to meet the enemy. As a result, he was defeated and fled back to Pengcheng in embarrassment.
What Lu You didn't expect was that
In the end, more than half of the soldiers who followed him back to Pengcheng gathered one after another... This was an unexpected surprise for Lu You.
Lu You's failure was actually expected by Tao Qian.
He originally did not expect any county to be able to withstand Cao's army. The reason why he deployed troops in the county outside Pengcheng was just to delay waiting for reinforcements.
Therefore, even if Lu You returned from defeat,
Tao Qian didn't punish him too much, he just took away his title of general and demoted him back to captain.
After Guangqi's defenders were defeated,
Cao Ren led his army to capture a group of prisoners who had no time to escape, and then entered the county directly.
When entering the city gate, he happened to encounter resistance from a small group of die-hards. Cao Ren almost killed Yi Ji who was about to sneak out of the city...
Fortunately, Cao Ren had quick eyesight and quick hands, and saw that the man under the knife was not a defender, so the scene of "kidnapping" Yi Ji happened later.
Although the Iraqis were “kidnapped”,
But with his sharp tongue, he insisted on convincing Cao Ren that he was comfortable, so in the end Cao Ren did not really tie him up, but just let him come to the county town with Cao Ren under the guard of his personal guards.
Post notices everywhere.
"Cao's army did not slaughter the people randomly out of hatred, but instead posted notices everywhere to appease the people."
After Yi Ji saw what Cao Jun did, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and his feelings towards Cao Jun became slightly better.
"Cao Yanzhou"
But it was only a little better,
After all, I am still in a state of being "kidnapped".
Besides, Yiji felt a chill in his heart when he thought that he would soon be given to that gentleman as a souvenir.
Cao Ren was very busy here. He had to command his soldiers to pacify the people, suppress the ruffians who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and he also had to post notices and arrange for prisoners and special products.
However, Yi Ji did not choose to rest in the house arranged by Cao Ren for him.
And he followed Cao Ren to post notices outside.
The first round of notices to appease the people has been posted, and next is the notice to persuade people to enter Yanzhou.
Yanzhou has previously released news, "People from Xuzhou are welcome to move to Yanzhou, and Yanzhou will provide various preferential treatment to the people who move there."
As soon as the notice came out, the people crowded over and discussed endlessly.
However, many people were illiterate, so Yiji volunteered to read the contents of the notice to the people.
"Yanzhou stipulates that if the people of Xuzhou join any county to participate in the village, the original tax of four out of ten taxes will be reduced to three out of ten taxes, and after five years of growing grain, the land will be owned by the people of Xuzhou themselves!"
After Yi Ji finished reciting, he felt a little excited. He smacked his lips and said to himself: "Why don't you find time to go back to your hometown for a visit?"
After hearing what Yi Ji said, the people couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices,
"Ten tax three? And the land will be owned by you after five years of cultivation?"
"Oh my God! Is there such a good thing in the world?"
"I didn't believe it! So I decided to go and see for myself!"
...
Yiji saw that the crowd's mood was high and they were eager to try. He immediately admired Cao Cao's methods.
After the previous few notices from Yanzhou were posted,
Immediately afterwards, several new notices were posted, so Yiji subconsciously continued to read:
"Chenliu County and Yingchuan County need a large number of literary politicians, and all knowledgeable people are welcome to apply!
As long as you pass the assessment, the house will be allocated, and the government will immediately issue a substantial settlement fee to help you quickly integrate into the local environment."
"Chenliu County and Yingchuan County are looking for experienced people who know how to farm. They will also receive settlement allowance! What are you waiting for?"
"Chenliu County and Yingchuan County are recruiting blacksmiths. The treatment is favorable and the salary is negotiable! What are you still hesitating about?"
...
As he was thinking about it, Yi Ji suddenly felt that something was not right. When he looked back again, he suddenly realized: "Why do you think it feels weird! Why are there so many helpers from Chenliu County and Yingchuan here?"
County recruitment notice??”
The notices in front are all fine.
Later, the painting style changed suddenly, and it completely turned into a notice for Chen Liu and Yingchuan County to recruit various talents.
This coquettish operation can make Yi Ji, who is standing aside and acting as the anchor, dumbfounded.
After quite a while, Cao Ren finished his work and was about to go to the next place to post notices.
Yi Ji was pushed by the soldiers around him, and then he came back to his senses and asked Cao Ren: "General Cao, I'm brave, I have a question..."
Yi Ji only said half of what he said, and Cao Ren laughed and cleared up his doubts: "You want to ask why there are so many recruitment notices in Chenliu County, right?"
"Exactly." Yi Ji and Cao Ren spent almost two hours together.
He also saw that Cao Ren had a peaceful mind and was not a violent general.
So during this time, he became more courageous.
After Cao Ren directed his soldiers to put up the last recruitment advertisement, he replied:
"When I set off from Yingchuan County to Juancheng,
My husband gave me several letters with these contents and said that the contents were called recruitment advertisements.
That is to say, we should widely advertise the types of talents that Chenliu and Yingchuan need to introduce."
"Actually, it's similar to Cao Gong's meritocracy order, isn't it!" Yi Ji suddenly realized, "No wonder you put out so many... advertisements for Chen Liu and Ying Chuan."
"Yes, and no." Cao Ren smiled and continued to explain: "My husband said that the eldest brother's order for seeking talents is too broad, and there are no specific skill requirements or restrictions, so it is easy to attract some people who are just looking for money, eating and drinking.
The recruitment advertisement published by Mr. pointed out what types of talents are needed and what abilities and conditions are required.
Moreover, even if people arrive in Chenliu and Yingchuan, if they want to obtain the corresponding positions, they still need to be assessed by dedicated personnel."
"So many requirements?" Yi Ji felt that the conditions were a bit harsh.
"But the remuneration is very generous! As a formal worker in the workshop, not only food and accommodation are included, but you can also receive a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan for one month's salary!"
"Wow! General, is everything you said true?"
Someone not far away from Cao Ren suddenly interrupted.
Yi Ji and Cao Ren turned around and saw that they were a middle-aged man with dark skin and tendons all over his body. He looked like a blacksmith.
Cao Ren was not annoyed by the other party's interruption midway. Instead, he patiently replied: "Of course it's true. Sir, I never lie to others."
"Great! I will go back and take my mother-in-law and children to Chenliu now!"
The middle-aged man was delighted, turned around and disappeared.
