Because they all stuttered, Qin Liang couldn't help but think of Deng Ai.
Ma Jun has a bit of a stutter when speaking, but it is much better than Deng Ai's stuttering. In short, both of them are not good at speaking.
The situations of these two people are not the same. Deng Ai was very unlucky in his early years. He was truly unappreciated for his talent, rather than just wishing for success. After he reached middle age, once he was rewarded by the Taifu Palace, his future was foreseeably bright.
far and wide.
Ma Jun, on the other hand, was much younger and had good luck in his early years. He had already become famous and was promoted to the position of Gui Shizhong. The official position of Gui Shizhong was actually very good, he had dignity and status, and he would not get into trouble if he wanted to be idle and lazy.
People who come from aristocratic families are also interested in him.
But Ma Jun's luck seemed to have run out all at once. He had been stuck in trouble for many years and could no longer see a future.
In the past two years, he seemed to have found a path to Cao Shuang's younger brother, Cao Xi. Cao Xi was finally convinced and recommended Ma Jun to the general. However, Ma Jun has not been promoted so far.
Qin Liang's current strength is limited, and his way to find talents is to pick up the slack. Those unemployed people like those from the Chinese and foreign armies are his choice.
In the face of officials of Ma Jun's level, Qin Liang could not dig out the fifth-rank officials before. Now Qin Liang was granted the title of marquis, but the county guard was still a fifth-rank official, so it was still difficult for the fifth-rank officials to dig out the fifth-rank officials.
.
Seeing that Ma Jun was stunned and speechless, Qin Liang began to persuade him. Qin Liang did not stutter at all. Sometimes he spoke very little and was very silent, but when he spoke, he spoke very fluently no matter how fast or slow he spoke.
He said: "If you are from a noble family, you will be a very good official if you work as a minister in Shizhong Temple. Being an official will not only increase the reputation of the family, but also do not have to be burdened by complicated government affairs. But Deheng is an ambitious person.
Living in Shizhong Temple in Luoyang, he has no real power and is just wasting his time.
If you go to the local area, the captain will have real power and can mobilize more manpower and material resources. This is the place where you can make great achievements. In the future, I can recommend you to the princes and governors of Nanxiang and other ministers. Maybe it will be better than sitting in Luoyang, waiting for nobles.
Appreciation is better.
As long as you are willing, the captaincy of Lujiang County is the highest-level official position I can recommend. Why don't Deheng think about it and change his official career strategy?"
The original system was that the county governor was in charge of government affairs and the county captain was in charge of the troops. But later the power of the prefect was expanded (the captain was unable to do anything due to lack of money and food), not to mention that the county governor was given the title of general, and the general meant to lead the troops and also be granted the title of marquis; this way
The county guard is actually the highest decision-maker in all aspects of military, political, personnel and financial affairs in a county, and has a superior-subordinate relationship with the captain.
At this time, Ma Jun's face with a mustache was already red, and he finally said: "It is too difficult to convince people. I, I have suffered so much contempt and ridicule. In front of the king, there is no need to say anything. The king is like this
I value you, and I am willing to do your best!"
Suddenly it was Qin Liang's turn to be startled, but he reacted much faster. He immediately came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "The occasion is inappropriate, so you and I should not salute. Since the leading general is on good terms with Deheng, after my recommendation, you will
If you ask the leading general to help you talk, you can probably get it done."
Ma Jun nodded. The way the two looked at each other was completely different from before, and their relationship immediately changed greatly.
Qin Liang thought about it and sighed to himself. It seemed that he didn't need to be so tactful when speaking, and it would be better to be more direct.
People are always testing each other and gradually increasing their understanding. There needs to be someone who is not afraid of rejection and has the shamelessness to pierce the layer of paper first and reveal the relationship and thoughts. This is risky but highly efficient.
However, Qin Liang also understands Ma Jun's mood. Ma Jun improved looms, waterwheels and other tools, but his talents were not taken seriously. Qin Liang also invented the salt-making technology, but it was useless, and he relied on it to make profits later.
Empress Dowager Guo. For an official career in the Wei Kingdom, you still have to find your own connections.
"Dong dong..." The sound of drums and piano is still there, and the waist of the dancer in the hall is still swinging. Amidst the interlacing of cups and cups, important positions in Lujiang County, thousands of miles away, have been agreed upon at the deep banquet in the courtyard.
The luncheon continued until the afternoon. Qin Liang waited for General Cao Shuang to leave his post, and then passed Linghu Yu inside to pay homage and listened to his farewell words.
Afterwards, Chen An, the waiter, took the initiative to escort Qin Liang out of the palace.
When the two of them walked to the corridor, Chen An suddenly said: "The county guard should have several servant positions. If the prince does not dislike it, would he be willing to appoint servants as servants?"
Qin Liang was a little surprised at first, and then suddenly realized. Chen An has also been working as a clerk for many years, and his position has not been changed. He is also a marginal figure in the General's Mansion.
After all, there are only a few people who can be reused in this world. Most people have little future, which is normal. However, Chen An has always been relatively indifferent to fame and fortune.
Qin Liang said: "Of course I am willing, but the subordinates of the county governor are far worse than those of the general's mansion. When I left the general's mansion and took the initiative to become a military commander of General Sun, I was at least a subordinate of the governor's department."
Chen An glanced at Qin Liang and said calmly: "You know that I don't care about my official position. I just want to leave the general's mansion."
He turned his head and glanced at the corridor, "You also saw Deng Yang's appearance today. And there is Li Sheng. The general said that he will make him the governor of Jingzhou if he has the chance." Qin Liang nodded.
Chen Andao said: "I feel vaguely that I don't feel at ease."
Thinking that Chen An was sincere to him, Qin Liang whispered: "Your feeling is right."
Qin Liang thought for a while and said: "But don't rush for a while. Next to Lujiang County is the Dabie Mountains, and there may be iron ore in the mountains. When the time comes, I will find the mine and report to the court to open the mine. Please ask me to come over and be an iron officer. You are in Dabie
I have been in the General's Mansion for so many years, and if I ask for a minor official position, given the general's temperament, he will probably agree."
Chen An nodded and said, "That's fine."
Qin Liang put his hand on Chen An's forearm and said: "When I was still in the General's Mansion, I had a good relationship with Ji Le. Later, when I had an affair with the Wang family, Ji Le was the matchmaker. The friendship between our two families
, can be passed down for several generations (if the three tribes are not punished)."
For Ma Jun, Qin Liang's place may be a sinkhole. But Chen An is a subordinate of the General's Mansion. If he wants to jump to Lujiang County to become an official, he will have to jump from one sinkhole to another at most. At least he can live a few more years.
Year.
Chen An sighed and said: "After you have been granted the title of marquis, you still don't forget your acquaintances with the poor and the humble. This is really what a gentleman does."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "We were not considered poor at that time, but we can be better in the future."
As the two walked and chatted, Chen An said: "Pei Xiu had an argument with Ma Jun yesterday."
"Pei Xiu accepted the general's conquest?" Qin Liang said in surprise, "No wonder I saw him at the luncheon today."
Seeing Chen An nodding, Qin Liang thought to himself: This Pei Xiu is from a noble family, but his knowledge is not as good as Chen An's. This shows that heroes do not care about their origin.
However, Pei Xiu was from a noble family in Hedong. Even if his stance was wrong, he still had value in winning over him. If he admits his mistake to Sima Yi, he should have the chance to turn around without paying for it. After all, the Sima family in Hanoi has made friends with many noble families from Hedong and Bingzhou.
After Chen An arrived outside the mansion, Qin Liang bowed to each other and said goodbye, then turned around and said, "Ji Le stopped, I hope to see you again soon, so that we can get along with each other day and night again."
Qin Liang stepped onto the carriage from the tailgate, glanced at Wu Xin next to him, and then let out a long breath. He almost slumped down on the wooden board, his whole body feeling soft and tired.
Until now, he still couldn't help but secretly admire Queen Mother Guo. When two stunning beauties from the Wang family came together, they could make Qin Liang wait for mercy. Queen Mother Guo could still speak in a dignified and calm tone alone. That patience and Concentration is indeed something that no one can achieve.
