"You shouldn't be colluding with Miss Cai, right?" Lu Su said angrily, "Why did she also choose Wang Yi?"
"It's not too unexpected." Li You looked at the recommendation submitted by Zhang Cai Yan and said to Lu Su.
"This way there is no need for a second round of selection, just Wang Yi." Jia Xu nodded and said, he was more optimistic about Lu Xun and Lu Yu, but these two have not reached the top yet, and they
Although they both have good talents, they are too young after all.
"Then let's name Wang Yi as the first name. We won't add him to the official position for now." Chen Xi took down the submitted document and said to everyone. After all, Wang Yi is now the boss of Liubaishi, and Qianshi's official position is transferred to others.
There are quite a few, but here it needs to be adjusted.
After a while, Chen Xi once again left early, and the ranking list for the Political Science Department was released. Unlike the situation in the Mathematical Science Department that left people speechless, Wang Yi's first place was not very secure.
But the better thing is that none of the aristocratic families who came here for reference this time looked very good. Even a family like the Xun family, which can gather twenty or thirty hundred talents, did not take the top spot this time, after taking so many exams.
Ke, the world's aristocratic families can only remain silent until now.
It's not that there are no college students trained by Chen Xi. To be precise, except for more than ten outstanding college students, others are not even shortlisted. However, there is nothing that can be done. After all, the family members do not have to worry about food, clothing and clothing.
It can be said that I have been studying for ten years at least.
As for the college students trained by Chen Xi, most of them didn't even know the Chinese characters three years ago, and during these three years of schooling, they had to help the family with some farm work.
It is not just for children from poor families to become masters at an early age. Even if their parents are willing to let them study, when their parents are doing farm work, these young people will not be able to pass the filial piety test even if they do not help their parents. The Han Dynasty was an era where filial piety was used to govern the country.
To be honest, there were only a dozen finalists, and even the highest-ranked ones were all after fifty. Chen Xi was already very satisfied. He could learn this level in three years. If he was born in a wealthy family and trained carefully, he would be able to become a talented person.
The problem.
This is a very good start, and there should be more and more in the future. As for the next fifty years, Chen Xi has no good solution. After all, what the family monopolizes is knowledge. Even if it is to open up the people's wisdom, it cannot be completed by one generation.
, it would be nice to have a good start.
Naturally, Chen Xi assigned positions to these ten or so shortlisted students one by one. They were all junior officials of Baishi. However, compared to those who had joined the ranks of the aristocratic families, Chen Xi's attention to these ten or so students was slightly higher. How can I say it?
They were among the first batch of scholars to take official scientific examinations and enter the officialdom.
"Master, a greeting card has been sent to the Zhang family in Xuzhou." Butler Chen took out a greeting card from the side and handed it to Chen Xi respectfully.
"Xuzhou Zhang family?" Chen Xi looked at the sky and couldn't remember which family it was.
There is no way, many families with the surname Zhang were county magistrates during the Three Kingdoms period. However, because of this, these families with the surname Zhang now seem to have some problems with their relationship due to problems with the bank's own stamps.
Although it is very possible for people with the same surname to be brothers who have been together for hundreds of years, and some families have a long history, and you can find out the sect by searching, but now because of the stamp issue, there is no way to get together, and there is no way to have a strong surname Zhang.
There were several aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty.
"The person who sent the invitation said it was Zhang Hong and Zhang Zigang." Butler Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Oh, it's him." Chen Xi said with slight surprise. With Jiang Wan's ability, he must have said everything he could. It's really amazing that the other party would come to visit him. Could it be that the other party didn't understand?
own meaning.
"Is there nothing going on at home?" Chen Xi asked after receiving the invitation.
"Second Miss Cai came to see the Second Madam and captured Hengheng who ran back." Butler Chen answered after sorting out what happened throughout the day.
"Oh, it's back again. Before Chen Qian grows up enough to chase chickens and chase dogs, let's foster it with Miss Cai Er first and don't let it come back." Chen Xi said with some regret. Dogs are loyal creatures.
It's always been scary high.
It turns out that Chen Xi actually likes the little white dog now, but Chen Lan and Chen Qian are not suitable for contact now, so they can only foster it in other people's homes.
It just so happened that Cai Zhenji's son, well, he was actually the son of Yang Di's ex-wife. He was just old enough to chase chickens and chase dogs, so he was sent to Cai Zhenji's house. After all, compared to other dogs, this one was smart enough and good enough.
clean.
"I don't have any good ideas for this. If Heng Heng comes back, there's no way he can stop him." Uncle Chen said with a wry smile. Although Heng Heng can't fly yet, it's not difficult for him to jump off a wall or something like that.
"It can understand people's words. Just say it a few times and do it a few times." Chen Xi thought about it, most people couldn't beat that guy.
Butler Chen was speechless, but he still nodded and said that he would do it. After all, he was an old man who had been with Chen Xi for several years and knew his master's temperament.
The next morning I slipped away to a newly opened chicken-raising place outside Yecheng. It is said that as soon as they were raised this time, problems appeared again, and before they were all wiped out, they were slaughtered to make air-dried chickens.
Anyway, as far as Chen Xi knows, after raising so many batches of chickens and dividing them into so many places, it is not often possible to successfully produce a complete circle of chickens without any accidents. If you keep them, you may get sick. In order to avoid all the chickens,
Destroy, kill them all.
So in the end, Chen Xi did not consider the official large-scale raising of laying hens, and turned them all into dried meat as military rations. Chicken and fish are now considered the main meats on Liu Bei's side.
As for other edible meat, Chen Xi could see that if the government did not carry out large-scale breeding, it would be impossible to sell it on a large scale in the market. Thinking of this, Chen Xi had a feeling that it was really not easy for the Han Dynasty government.
.
It is completely different from the era of abundant supplies in later generations. In this era, nothing can solve problems better than obtaining supplies.
"Can you raise something else?" Chen Xi said helplessly to Chen Nuo, who was originally his servant but was now appointed as Bo Cao because of his extremely high breeding standards.
"Goose is more suitable, but we are short of seedlings here." Chen Nuo was also helpless, "As for eating methods, many ways have been developed, but there is a shortage of seedlings."
"The research on pigs has almost been completed, and we are preparing to approve places for large-scale breeding." Chen Nuo continued. He does one thing full-time and is willing to study. Now he is considered a leader among his peers. Although he is engaged in work as Bo Cao
It's quite strange to do this.
"Then you continue. Wen He and Ma Zheng over there may need you to take care of them." Chen Xi nodded. In an era of scarcity of supplies, everything requires a little accumulation. Many things that look very simple can even be used.
The technology has not been established yet.
After telling them these things, Chen Xi drove home and went back to see what Zhang Hong looked like when he rejected them three times without hesitation and now came to visit him.
Chen Xi came back with just a stick of incense. After changing his clothes, as soon as the time came, Zhang Hong came with his servant to visit the Chen family.
Looking at Zhang Hong, who was dressed in black clothes and stepping into the door, Chen Xi saw a flash of bitterness in the other person's calm eyes. Once upon a time, the other party had been unable to enter his door despite repeated invitations. Now, he sent a greeting letter to him.
You can enter only through the door.
Zhang Hong had also thought about the situation where he would not be able to get in even if he submitted a letter of greeting. After all, he had rejected Liu Bei three times back then, but Chen Xi had no intention of stopping him, but this behavior made Zhang Hong feel even more confused.
A shame.
The other party has taken a dim view of the past, but he still can't let go. Even if he voted for Sun Ce, he still can't let go of those three invitations.
"Zhang Zigang of the Xuzhou Zhang family, Zhang Hong, has met the head of the Chen family." Although Zhang Hong is older and even his age is enough to be Chen Xi's father, at this moment he can only meet him first.
"Chen Xi, Chen Zichuan, please." Chen Xi bowed and made a gesture of invitation. He has passed the era of needing prefixes. When people say Chen Xi and Chen Zichuan in the world, it refers specifically to himself.
[Not as an official, but as a member of the Zhang family.] Chen Xi turned around calmly and led Zhang Hong into the outer room. This was not considered disrespectful, nor was it respectful. To be precise, meeting Zhang Hong in the outer room was the most correct welcome.
etiquette.
"I've taken the liberty to come here, and I'd like to ask Chen Hou not to give up." After Zhang Hong drank a cup of tea, he looked at Chen Xi carefully. He didn't come here to talk about things, but just to fulfill his wish and to see Chen Xi.
Already satisfied, as for Liu Bei, he may not be able to see him.
"How can it be called presumptuous since I have already submitted my invitation?" Chen Xi lowered his head slightly so that no one could see his eyes clearly, but just by looking at his face, one could feel his smile, "I don't know yet that Zigang is here.
What's the matter?"
It was obvious that Chen Xi and Zhang Hong didn't have much to talk about, so they could only get down to business. There was no way he and Zhang Hong were not familiar with each other at all.
"I originally came here with nothing to do, but now I have something to ask." Zhang Hong was silent for a moment. He also realized that he and Chen Xi had nothing to talk about. It would be good to come to see Chen Xi and fulfill their long-cherished wish. He had never thought about it before.
There will be nothing to say when you come.
"Then please Zigang make it clear, Xi, I am all ears." Chen Xi's words were not pleasant, on the contrary, there was some provocation in them.
"After Mr. Yuan returned to Yangzhou, he told us what he had seen in the north. I wonder what Marquis Chen wanted?" Zhang Hong thought for a moment and said.
"What do you want? It doesn't really matter. It just depends on what the aristocratic family wants to do." Chen Xi said with a smile, "There is no shortage of resourceful people in the aristocratic families in the world. Even if there is no such amazing talent, the ones that can be passed down to this day are
Family, there won’t be any problems here.”
As he spoke, Chen Xi pointed his finger at his head, "It's not what I want to do, but what the aristocratic family will do. The aristocratic family is also a human being, and people will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so aristocratic families will make choices that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and
It’s nature.”
Zhang Hong was silent for a while, then nodded, "But, is Chen Hou so confident?"
"Are you confident?" Chen Xi thought for a while, "It's really hard to say. All I can say is that the goals of the aristocratic families are all the same. Oh, no, we are human beings. Each person has different goals.
The same, but collectively, their goals will be similar."
"As for the so-called enemies of the world's aristocratic families, I don't like hearing it anymore. Haven't you noticed that the support of you and Cao Mengde's aristocratic family is constantly decreasing?" Chen Xi looked at Zhang Hong with a smile and said.
.
"So that's it, that is to say, the bank layout has long been promised to the Chen family by the world's famous families?" Zhang Hong lowered his head and said slowly, "Does that mean that we have been excluded from this group?"
"That's probably true, but judging from the previous scientific examinations in various subjects, there are participants in Yongliang and Jingyiyang, so the facts are probably self-evident." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Except for the aristocratic families that have been tied to the warships of Sun Ce and Cao Cao, other aristocratic families have been much more cautious. Pang Degong had to wait for Pang Tong to come to Jingzhou to pick him up. Even when Jian Yong invited the Huang family and Xu Shu, they were quite indifferent.
He only formed a good relationship with Xu Shu and sent Jiang Wan, the most accomplished man under his command, to Liu Bei's command. As for himself, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without moving.
When the war between Yuan and Liu ended, the situation in the world became increasingly clear, and after the homology project began, Pang Degong appeared in Mount Tai because of a Confucian event, and Xun Shuang also appeared in Mount Tai. Chen Guang and Chen Shang also appeared one after another. The family is not stupid.
ah!
It's just that the bets that have been taken away can only be left there. The family still has the most basic integrity. If the benefits are not large enough, they will not betray.
"So it's not me who abandoned the family, but you who betrayed the new family led by me. You are the rebels," Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, "Rebirth or destruction, in the increasingly clear situation, what I think
What we move towards is the future.”
Zhang Hong was speechless. Living in Yangzhou, he could also feel the attitude of those Jiangdong aristocratic families. Although those aristocratic families lacked vision, what could make all aristocratic families sway unsteady was not something ordinary people could do.
"So, the question you mentioned is no longer a question. It is not what I want to do, but you should ask yourself what you want to do. Why did you betray our class and follow Sun Ce and Cao Cao?" Chen Xi
He slowly stood up and looked down at Zhang Zhao who was sitting there.
Once he was a traitor to the aristocratic family class, and countless aristocratic families glared at him, and even helped others to prepare to suppress him as a traitor; later he became a reformer of the aristocratic family class, and other aristocratic families were watching from afar, except for a few die-hards.
Still persisting.
And now, Chen Xi can proudly say that the world's aristocratic family is headed by me. Those who are contrary to my ways and who conflict with my will are betrayers of this class. The direction I am heading is the most correct path for the family. As for everything in the past
It’s already a thing of the past!
At the beginning, Liu Bei used the recruitment order to recruit the poor scholars. Jia Xu and Li You even relied on kidnapping. The aristocratic families were dismissive of them. Just one sentence is enough to negate all Liu Bei's efforts.
This is how things are in the world, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Unfortunately, the once powerful anti-Liu family has become a powerful pro-Liu family. The moral integrity of the family is nothing more than this.
