Yang Jun, a native of Hanoi, took Gai Jun's letter to Jinyang to find Wang Xin, the other driver, and expressed his desire to stay in Jinyang. When Wang Xin saw the handwritten letter from Bingzhou Mu, he valued him very much and did not dare to neglect him.
He immediately proposed to recruit Yang Jun as an official. To his surprise, Yang Jun refused and only said that he would be provided with a place to stay.
Wang Xin did not force it. Since there were hundreds of thousands of people in Yang Jun's party, he allocated a piece of land at the foot of Longshan Mountain and beside the Fenshui River to Yang Jun. He ordered craftsmen and servants to build dozens of houses as quickly as possible, and left him a group of people.
Plant seeds, iron tools, cattle and other items.
The next day after Gai Jun returned to Jinyang, he traveled around the prefecture, but Yang Jun and others were not seen. When asked about the matter, Wang Xin told the story one by one. Gai Jun showed a look of surprise on his face, nodded, and changed the topic.
Back to political affairs. Bingzhou and Sumai are about to mature, and this time I went south to obtain thousands of miles of fertile land in Hedong and Hanoi counties. Bingzhou should not have to worry about food this year, but it is just food and clothing. To achieve prosperity, not only a large amount of food is needed
Time and the current territory are not enough.
After a little leisure time in the afternoon, Gai Jun personally went to visit Yang Jun at the foot of Longshan Mountain. Unfortunately, the latter had been away from home for three days, and Sima Lang was accompanying him. The two chatted for a while, and from Sima Lang's mouth, Gai Jun learned that Yang Jun was Chen Liu, a great scholar.
Bian Rang, the prefect of Jiujiang, was a student of Bian Rang, who was from the same hometown as his father-in-law Cai Yong. They were both Wenzong, and they cherished each other and were close friends.
When Yang Jun went out, he was not visiting friends, but looking for talents. Yes, Yang Jun, like Yan Zhong and He Yong, had a knack for knowing people. Speaking of knack for knowing people, the most famous person in Bingzhou was none other than the late Guo Tai and Guo Linzong.
, today, all the people who can be called celebrities in Bingzhou, sixty-seven out of ten, have been reviewed by Guo Linzong. Take the two most powerful people in Bingzhou as an example, Wang Xin, who became famous because of Guo Linzong's review, Guo Xun, the leader of the Guo Lin clan,
Also, his influence in Bingzhou is evident.
To be honest, Gai Jun was very dissatisfied with the current situation where people from Bingzhou covered the sky with only one hand, especially a person who came from the system. No one in power would want to see such a thing, so Jia Xu was helpless alone and could not become a powerful force.
Historically, Liu Yan was the shepherd of Yizhou, and he vigorously promoted the three auxiliary nobles who fled the chaos of Shu to suppress the local wealthy families in Yizhou. The brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan used the scholars who crossed south from Xuzhou to suppress the local wealthy families in Yangzhou. Liu Biao came to Jingzhou and took over Guanzhong and Yanzhou.
, there are thousands of scholars in Yuzhou, all the same. The opposite example is in Xuzhou, whether it is Tao Qian, Liu Bei, or Lu Bu, although they have military power, they are also influenced.
Gai Jun wanted to use the Hanoi scholars who went north to compete with the Bingzhou Guo Linzong lineage.
With this special mood, Gai Jun and Sima Lang had a pleasant conversation and left before sunset.
A few days later, Yang Jun returned, and Gai Jun went to the Hanoi camp. The sun was bright and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. It was very suitable for an outing, so he invited Yang Jun and Sima Lang to climb the bright red and beautiful Longshan Mountain.
While walking on the rugged mountain road, Gai Jun looked at the red flowers and green trees and asked Yang Jun: "Wen Jicai has learned a lot about people. Can you gain anything from living in Jinyang for more than a month?"
Yang Jun walked calmly, had an outstanding appearance, and a cool temperament. He nodded and said: "Everyone says that since Guo Linzong, Taiyuan has been full of talented people. It is indeed true. I have been traveling in recent months and found two young heroes."
Gai Jun asked curiously: "Oh? Which two are they?"
Yang Jun slowly said: "There is a Linghu named Shao, named Uncle Kong. He is a young man with a weak crown. His father is the former Wuhuan captain. I talked with him and found that his insights are extraordinary. In Jun's opinion, his future achievements will be great." Not weaker than Boda."
Seeing Yang Jun comparing himself to himself, Sima Lang smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.
Gai Jun nodded. Linghu is the surname of Taiyuan County. It is not a problem for Linghu Shao to become an official, but Gai Jun still remembered this name. If his talent is not inferior to Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, he will undoubtedly be a great talent. Be a good student, observe and cultivate.
Yang Jun continued: "The other person has long been famous. His surname is Sun Mingzi and his courtesy name is Yanlong. He is several years older than Uncle Kong (Linghu Shao). He lost his family when he was three years old and was raised by his brother and sister-in-law. When he entered Taixue, he was quite famous. It is appreciated by Situ, the prince of the same county (Yun). Recently, Dong Zhuo moved the capital and the Imperial Academy was abandoned, so he returned home. This son has the potential to be a prime minister, so the general should be included in the shogunate as soon as possible."
Gai Jun looked surprised. As a prime minister, this evaluation clearly surpassed that of Linghu Shao.
Sima Lang also looked surprised.
"Those who praise Ji Cai must be true. I will recruit two people into the house today when I go back." Gai Jun paused for a moment and then said: "The borderland of Bingzhou has a shortage of talents, which is far less than the prosperity of Hanoi. Following Ji Cai How many talented people are there in Jinyang? Ji Cai can only come through the channel, and I will consider them all and hire them one by one."
Yang Jun and Sima Lang looked at each other and vaguely guessed Gai Jun's purpose. The former said: "General Boda (Sima Lang) already knows about it. Needless to say, his brother Sima Zhi, named Zihua, although famous He is not obvious, but he is upright and has outstanding talents, so he is specially selected for the general."
"There is also Chang Lin, named Bo Huai, who is from Wen, Hanoi. Like Sun Yanlong, he is a student of Taipei University. Because his family is poor, he and his wife can only cultivate acres of land to support themselves. During this period, they still forget to eat and sleep to study the Five Classics. I am studious and talented. I am A rare and talented person in Hanoi.”
"There's another..."
"..."
Yang Jun named more than ten people in one breath, and Gai Jun applauded them. There were more than tens of thousands of people who had fled Hanoi and merged with the state. These Yang Jun introduced were only the most outstanding people in Hanoi. Behind them, there were hundreds of Hanoi scholars. Gai Jun believed that as long as he vigorously supported them, they would definitely form a force that could not be ignored to check and balance the local scholars in Bingzhou.
Sima Lang smiled and said: "Brother has mentioned so many people, why don't you just mention the person who should be introduced to the general?"
Yang Jun also smiled and said: "The most important people are naturally introduced last."
"Who is worthy of your attention?" Gai Jun looked curious after hearing this.
Yang Jun said loudly: "Zhang Gongyi."
"Zhang Gongyi?" Gai Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock: "Zhang Gongyi in Hanoi? He is in Jinyang?"
Gai Jun was so surprised. Zhang Gongyi was famous as Fan. His grandfather Zhang Xin was an official to Situ, and his father Zhang Yan was an official to Taiwei. They were two dukes for two generations. They were the most famous surnames in Hanoi. Zhang Fan was a son of a well-known family, erudite and talented, but he was quiet and happy, and suddenly he was honored. Yuan Shao's uncle, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, wanted to marry his daughter to him in his early years, but Zhang Fan refused without thinking, without giving any face to the head of the Yuan family in Runan, the most powerful family in the world.
Yang Jun, Sima Lang, Sima Zhi, Chang Lin and other Hanoi scholars are too young and not well-known to be promoted to high positions suddenly, but Zhang Fan is different. Zhang Fan is already in his thirties this year. He is of noble birth and has a high reputation. No one dared to say no even if they directly awarded him two thousand stones. If Zhang Fan was invited, the people of Hanoi would immediately have the capital to compete with the people of Bingzhou.
Yang Jun nodded and said: "It's no wonder the general doesn't know, Zhang Gongyi has only arrived in Jinyang not long ago."
Sima Lang answered: "Not only Zhang Gongyi, but also his second brother Yique Duwei Zhang Gongxian is here."
Mr. Zhang inherited his name first, and the two brothers are both famous. Gai Jun frowned and said: "The Zhang brothers are guests in Jinyang, and I am the host. I don't know anything about it. It's really inappropriate."
Yang Jun said: "Zhang Gongyi likes to be quiet, maybe because he doesn't want others to disturb him."
Gai Jun really wanted to turn around and go down the mountain to visit Zhang Fan, but doing so would certainly show that he was thirsty for talents, but he had the status of a prostitute. He calmed down, chatted and laughed with Yang Jun and Sima Lang, climbed to the top of the mountain, and enjoyed the view.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery, we returned.
Gai Jun found out Zhang Fan's address from Yang and Sima. Before the generals parted, he said to Yang Jun: "I want Ji Cai to be the chief minister, is that okay?"
The master's status is not as good as that of Biejia, but he is a person close to the king of the state, and he is called his confidant. Yang Jun bowed his head and said: "Chief Mu has an order, how can he not obey it?"
Sima Lang was talented, but he was too young. He had just turned 20. Gai Jun arranged for him to be transferred to Taiyuan County. He would start at the county level and experience for two or three years before being transferred to the state capital. As for the Sima Lang clan,
My brothers Sima Zhi, Chang Lin and other Hanoi scholars, as well as Sun Zi and Linghu Shao who were favored by Yang Jun, were all arranged to either enter the prefecture or enter the counties.
Gai Jun bid farewell to the two of them, and was escorted by hundreds of guards to Zhang Fan's residence. Looking at the guards who protected him tightly, Gai Jun felt very awkward and felt like he could not breathe, but this was
He made his own decisions and could not blame others. He was very afraid of death because he had too many worries and ties. He knew exactly how Sun Ce died.
Gai Jun has been in Beijing on and off for several years, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact he is not. For example, although he and Zhang Fan are not in a relationship, they have met a few times. This is called a network of connections, so the other party agreed to meet him without any trouble.
He must know that Zhang Fan is a ruthless character who made Yuan Wei unable to come to power.
Zhang Fan is about thirty-six or seventeen years old, more than seven feet tall, with fair skin, clear eyebrows and clear eyes, and a light beard half a foot below his chin. He is a handsome man with rare appearance and good temperament. His second brother is Captain Yique.
Zhang Cheng is a few years old and his appearance is equally stunning.
Zhang Fan invited him to take a seat and said: "General, I am coming from afar, and I am sorry if I missed my welcome..."
"Brother Zhang, just don't blame me for troubling you." Zhang Fan was so polite that Gai Jun was quite flattered and said, "Brother Zhang is a guest in Jinyang, so he should inform me so that I can fulfill my duties as a landlord."
.
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "The general controls a state, governs millions of people, and is busy with official duties. How dare he disturb me."
After the greetings were over, Gai Jun asked: "Why did Brother Zhang come to Jinyang?"
Zhang Chengcheng said: "Dong Zhuo has caused rebellion, and I want to join forces with all my disciples to fight against it in Guandong. My third brother, Gongming, was the councilor at the time. He said that our Guandong prefecture and counties are ignorant, that our generals do not know how to fight, and that our soldiers are not trained to fight, so we are incapable of doing anything. Dong Zhuo
Being violent and rebellious will not last long, and sooner or later we will die of misfortune. I advise us to choose a place and wait for the time to move, and then we can achieve our goals. My brother and I will follow suit and even merge with the state."
Gai Jun suddenly realized that Zhang Fan and Zhang Cheng's third brothers were named Zhao and had the courtesy name Gongming, which was the same name as Zhang Zhao in Jiangdong Erzhang.
"Bingzhou is humble and talented people are rare, let alone the second brother who is so talented. Will the second brother come out to help me?" Gai Jun's posture was extremely low. Who is he? He is a hussar general who leads Bingzhou Mu, which shows his sincerity.
.
Zhang Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he looked at his brother.
Zhang Fan frowned slightly, as if he was unwilling. Gai Jun secretly shouted that something was wrong. Once the other party refused, it would be difficult to invite him. He hurriedly said: "I know that Brother Zhang is quiet by nature and doesn't like to work hard. He can do it for casual work."
For example, it can be done as a teacher and friend, or as a counselor, or it can be done for literature, or for the five professions (Five Classics), to encourage people to learn and to educate the people."
Zhang Fan stared blankly at Gai Jun's spouting words, all of which he couldn't refuse, so he laughed and said: "This is all the general said, Fan is speechless."
Gai Jun breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting this hard nut to crack.
