Lu Xuan asked: "How long has Mr. Xu been studying in Lumen Mountain?"
Xu Shu said without hesitation: "It has been almost three years since I was fully prepared. In the past three years in Lumen Mountain, I have relied on Pang Gong's care, allowing me to have no worries about food and clothing, and to concentrate on studying. Without Pang Gong, I, Xu Shu, would not be where I am now."
Pang Degong praised: "It's because you are eager to learn and you have this talent."
Lu Xuan was even more determined.
I studied for more than three years.
What should be learned has been learned.
Lu Xuan looked excited and continued: "Since ancient times, no one can learn all the abilities by the teacher's side. Mr. Xu, by Pang Gong's side, learned the principles of life, the means of using troops, and the strategies of governing the place.
But these are all theoretical."
"Three years of experience are enough for Mr. Xu to form his own rules for life and doing things."
"I think the problem before Mr. Xu is not to continue studying. Because military strategies, political concepts, etc. are all quite complicated, and you can't understand them all by studying."
"This needs to be done with dedication."
"So, what Mr. Xu needs is practice, by governing the local area, dealing with various problems, transforming what he has learned, and forming his own experience."
"What you learn on paper will only be shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to practice it. If you keep reading and don't do it yourself, you will never grow. Because the problems you encounter in reality will far exceed the content in the book."
Lu Xuan said: "Only when you really do it can you sharpen your mind, means, etc., and finally be able to refine it into steel."
"well said."
Pang Degong's eyes were bright.
He stroked his beard and exclaimed: "What you see on paper will only make sense, but you will definitely know that you have to practice it. These two sentences point out the principles of life and doing things. If you don't do it, it will always be just a dream, and it will be just talk on paper. To do it,
To do it well, it must be implemented on the ground.”
Sima Hui echoed: "Prefect Lu's words are very insightful. How many scholars have blindly studied dead books and become nerds. They only know how to rely on books and talk about things, and cannot make arrangements according to local conditions. Only those who can really do it are
The best way to improve.”
With the two people's approval, the others spoke one after another.
Xu Shu was even more moved.
He had studied with Pang Degong for many years, and he had no shortage of military strategies, strategies, and governance methods. What he lacked was opportunities.
Lu Xuan said again: "Mr. Xu is serving as an official in our Lujiang County. I will give you two choices. First, stay with me and be a military advisor to advise on military affairs. Second, go directly to the local government to serve as the county magistrate and govern the local area.
, hone yourself. No matter which choice you make, I support Mr. Xu."
The hesitation in Xu Shu's heart completely disappeared.
As soon as he became an official, he became a military advisor or a county magistrate. For him, it was already a huge opportunity.
He is not a child of a big family. The big family has a deep foundation and can arrange for the family's children to serve in official positions. However, he does not have any connections here, and the only one he can rely on is himself.
Lu Xuan gave too much.
Xu Shu no longer hesitated, stood up, clasped his hands together, and said: "Xu Shu, pay homage to the lord."
Lu Xuan replied: "I have Mr. Xu like a fish in water."
Xu Shu said: "My lord, you have given me a reward."
Lu Xuan looked at the other scholars, smiled and said: "If any of you are willing to serve as officials, Lu Xuan welcomes them, and I will definitely not treat you badly."
No one took a stand, but Meng Jian, Shi Tao and others had their own plans.
Lu Xuan is powerful, but at present, he is only a prefect of a county and is still not strong enough.
Seeing that no one stood up, Lu Xuan stopped trying to persuade him.
It is enough for Xu Shu to surrender!
He has gained another talent.
Xu Shu looked at Mr. Pang De and Mr. Sima Hui, and said solemnly: "I am leaving Lumen Mountain at the invitation of my lord. Thanks to the teachings of Mr. Pang De and Mr. Sima, Xu Shu has benefited from it all his life. Without these two gentlemen, Xu Shu would still only know that blood is everywhere.
He is a reckless man, but he still has a willful and reckless temperament."
"Pang Gong and Mr. Sima showed kindness to Xu Shu and recreated them."
"Please accept Xu Shu's bow."
Xu Shu solemnly saluted Pang Degong, and then solemnly saluted Sima Hui again.
Pang Degong smiled and said: "Yuanzhi comes down the mountain, I have nothing to tell you. You still have an old mother in the north. Although the Central Plains is becoming more and more stable, when you arrive in Lujiang County, remember to arrange for someone to take the old mother to live with you. You have
I have settled down in my place of residence, and I have to support my mother."
Xu Shu cupped his hands and said, "I sincerely follow Pang Gong's teachings."
Sima Hui smiled softly and said: "Yuan Zhi, you don't have a good background, but you are passionate, which is good. Once you become an official and have power, you must remember not to forget your original intention, so that you can always succeed."
"You have a lot of strategies. Now that you have the master and the right time, you should do things well and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"In addition, Governor Lu just mentioned your appointment, I will say a few more words."
"You have no problem making suggestions. But local government affairs are the most demanding. It seems simple, but in fact it tests people in all aspects. I suggest you go to the local level first to experience. To achieve great things, you can't just make suggestions, but also be able to
To govern a place and lead troops to fight, you must have the ability to do business."
Xu Shu said again: "Xu Shu should remember Mr. Sima's teachings."
Lu Xuan saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart.
Pang Degong and Sima Hui are both talented people, and he wants to recruit them immediately. But Lu Xuan understands that it is completely impossible to recruit these two people now, but if he can be invited (abducted) to Lujiang County
Go, let the two of them go to Lujiang, and there will be a chance.
Lu Xuan was thinking about it, and when he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Pang Tong stood up.
"Prefect Lu, I want to go to Lujiang County."
Pang Tong raised his head and said brightly, "I went to Lujiang County. What position did Prefect Lu give me?"
Lu Xuan was surprised to hear this.
Pang Tong is coming.
This is a good thing.
Although Pang Tong is young, he has been studying with Pang Degong and has already developed his own personality and way of thinking. As long as he keeps him by his side and slowly sharpens himself, he will be able to stand alone in a few years.
The question is, is Mr. Pound willing?
Lu Xuan glanced at Pang Degong, then returned to Pang Tong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Pang is willing to go to Lujiang, which is my great wish. But you are not old, can you make the decision yourself?"
"Of course I can make the decision."
Pang Tong answered directly.
He looked at Mr. Pang De and said solemnly: "Uncle, I have learned everything I should learn. I am going to Lujiang County."
Pang Degong scolded: "You are only fourteen or fifteen years old, can you take care of yourself? Do you understand the unpredictable nature of people's hearts? Do you understand the ways of the world? You have never been exposed to these things, how do you do it?"
Pang Tong's slightly dark face showed a persistent look and said: "Uncle, I am here to do things, not to intrigue. I don't know how to take care of myself, but as long as someone takes care of me, that's fine."
Mr. Pang De's cheeks twitched.
Damn thing!
When I was young and my wings hadn’t even hardened yet, I just wanted to fly out.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Pang, can you allow me to say a few words?"
Pang Degong said: "Prefect Lu, please speak."
Lu Xuan said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Even if it is raw jade, it needs to be carved. It takes three days to test the jade, and seven years to identify the material. To become a talent, to achieve great talent, it cannot be achieved by just a few simple principles.
Yes, it must be tempered."
"Mr. Xiao Pang is a piece of jade. If you want to be truly successful, you need to experience the unpredictable nature of the human heart and understand the ways of the world. Only after you have taken detours and bumped into each other can you understand the importance of these principles."
"He is in Lujiang County, following me as a reporter, watching me work, and contacting countless people. He will definitely gain experience. His horizons will be improved, his abilities will be honed, and he will be able to go higher and further in the future.
"
Lu Xuan said: "Without these foundations, you won't be able to go far. What do you think, Mr. Pang?"
Duke Pang fell silent.
Of course he understood what Lu Xuan said, but Pang Tong was still young.
Pang Tong was excited. At his age, he yearned for the outside world the most and hated the chatter at home. He looked at Mr. Pang De and said sincerely: "Uncle, please let me give it a try."
"That's all."
Pang Degong waved his hand and said: "If you want to go, then go."
"Thank you uncle."
Pang Tong became excited, cupped his hands and said: "Pang Tong, pay homage to Prefect Lu."
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Xiao Pang's visit to Lujiang is also a blessing to our Lujiang County."
Pang Tong sat down again, a look of longing appeared on his young face, and he was filled with anticipation.
Lu Xuan's eyes turned and fell on Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui again. As for their invitations, he said loudly: "Mr. Pang, Mr. Sima, I am coming to Lumen Mountain today, and there is another thing.
thing."
Pang Degong asked: "What's the matter?"
Sima Hui also looked over. Lu Xuan mentioned him and involved him.
Do you want to recruit them?
Pang Degong and Sima Hui looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes. Both of them were people who did not envy fame, wealth, or glitz. They just wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and study knowledge, and had no plans to become officials.
Lu Xuan's idea was destined to fail.
Lu Xuan was destined to be disappointed if he wanted to recruit two people.
