The waiter at Xu Shuliu's inn told him about the current situation in Jiangxia, which took more than half an hour. During this period, it naturally attracted the attention of others. After the incident, Xu Shu paid twice as much for room and board to the innkeeper.
He then started to smile brightly. Just now, the second brother stood still, but he took his place and made several trips to bring tea and water.
Before leaving the inn, Xu Shu also paid a bunch of money for five plants to the waiter as a fee for the interview.
"Little brother, you are born smart, but you suffer from illiteracy. Otherwise, you would not be where you are now. But now, it is not too late to wake up. As long as you are willing to work hard to learn Chinese calligraphy, your future achievements will be extraordinary. Today I
Just go to the Lixian Hall to apply for the exam. If you are accepted by the other party, I will come back to find you. During this period, you should think carefully about whether you are willing to leave me and become the scholar." Xu Shu tied the belt around his waist.
He put away his rapier, cupped his fists and said goodbye.
How could the waiter in the shop refuse, so he quickly and respectfully thanked him and said: "Thank you sir, thank you sir. Young Lü Meng would like to congratulate you for being the first on the recruiting list and for being appreciated by the prefect. Lü Meng will be waiting here."
Good news sir."
To be honest, Xu Shu had observed the details of Lu Meng just now and saw that he was only more than ten years old. His bright eyes were very rare in his travels in the world over the years. When he saw him again, he found that he could actually talk.
After reading many of Zhu Kui's famous quotes, he was able to proactively answer Xu Shu's questions, and he had the idea of discovering gems and jade. Of course, whether the gems and jade can shine still depends on whether the other party can seize the opportunity in the future.
.
After leaving the inn, Xu Shuxian first went outside the city to take a look at the Cemetery of Heroes and take a closer look. Sure enough, a huge three-foot-long monument stood at the entrance of the cemetery with a letter: "Garden of Heroes" inscribed by Zhu Kui himself.
The words on the side are the origin of the Heroic Spirits Monument and the heroic spirits buried inside. The description is similar to what the waiter said.
The tombs inside were arranged in an orderly manner, and each tomb had a small stone tablet, which was the name of each soldier who died in the battle and his achievements during his lifetime. At the same time, Xu Shu also saw two common people in the cemetery who were cleaning it carefully.
After asking about the dead branches and leaves, I learned that it was a person specially hired by Zhu Kui to keep the cemetery clean and tidy every day.
It can be seen that Zhu Kui is a careful person and treats his soldiers very sincerely. He will give the best treatment to his soldiers even if they are dead. Under such circumstances, the living soldiers dare to risk their lives and go through fire and water. No wonder Zhu Kui leads his troops to fight.
From then on, except for the time Xu Shu himself saw a defeat due to carelessness, he almost always won every battle, and there were no rumors of defeat.
Turning around and returning to the city, Xu Shu headed directly towards the Lixian Hall this time.
The earliest built Lixian Pavilion was converted into Lin'an Palace after Zhu Kui welcomed back the young emperor Liu Bian. The new Lixian Pavilion was completed in just over a month. During this period, it was delayed due to Liu Biao's attack on the county.
It took a whole month to restart construction. This time, Zhu Kui directly requisitioned the land and houses next to the county governor's house, demolished the walls and connected them, and rebuilt them. He had ruled Jiangxia for many years and had long been famous among the people.
They are all willing to serve him.
The construction speed of this second construction of the Lixian Pavilion was shortened by more than three months compared with the first construction of Lin'an Palace.
As for the pasting of the list of rites and virtues, it was only half a month after the Battle of Liu Biao that Zhu Kui officially ordered his subordinates to start publicizing it everywhere. The focus of the publicity was naturally Jingzhou and Jiangdong, while other states and counties,
However, Wang's Trading Company was asked to put an advertisement on the tea stall under the property according to its ability, but the intensity was actually much smaller. In addition, the area was quite far, so there were naturally fewer people willing to come.
However, after Liu Biao and Yuan Shu learned about Zhu Kui's move to recruit talents under their rule, they quickly sent troops to stop them. Anyone who made false remarks about Jiangxia was thrown into jail. Unfortunately, Zhu Kui acted quickly. Although Liu Biao and Yuan Shu
He quickly responded and stopped, but the matter of the list of rites of merit had already spread, and it had long been known to everyone. Banning it afterwards had little effect. Zhu Kui had already achieved what he wanted...
Xu Shu first passed by the Sheriff's Mansion, and saw five soldiers standing on each side of the gate of the County Mansion. They were all tall and tall, with calloused hands, and their eyes were extremely stern, watching the pedestrians passing by the Sheriff's Mansion.
When the people saw it, they naturally avoided it and did not dare to approach.
These guard soldiers must be the elite in the army, soldiers who have survived the war, and it is not a single war, but elites who have survived many times. They have long regarded human life as nothing, and are covered in blood.
.
Xu Shu prided himself on his good swordsmanship, but after taking a look at the opponent, he estimated in his mind that if he had to deal with the ten people on the opposite side, if he was in a narrow terrain and an open area, he would probably be able to defeat the opponent in ten rounds.
No way, if the opponent is proficient in certain combined attack formations, even if I concentrate on dealing with it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and I will definitely be stained with blood.
Turning the corner, Xu Shu found the Lixian Hall, which was famous throughout the city.
The gate of the Lixian Hall was also guarded by these ten guards. The magnificent building at the gate made Xu Shu's face brighten.
Two thick stone pillars surrounded by four people are three feet high and erected high. They are carved with dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other auspicious beasts. Above them, a square stone plaque spans the two stone pillars, with three
The large gold characters read: "Lixian Pavilion." The golden light shines in the sun, so dazzling.
This solemnity and magnificence are even better than the gate of the county governor's mansion. This shows that Zhu Kui values and needs the wise men even more than himself.
Xu Shu stepped forward to chat. As soon as he came forward, one of the ten guards came forward: "Stop here! Explain your purpose."
He was a very conscientious guard. Xu Shu did not blame the other party for rashly blocking his way. It is a good thing for a soldier to do his duty. He bowed slightly and returned: "I am a traveling scholar. I passed by this city and saw the local governor sticking up to recruit talents.
I was on the list, so my heart was moved, and I thought I had some talent, so I came here to take the list and give it a try."
After hearing Xu Shu's answer, the guards at the gate of Lixian Hall each looked at each other a few times, exchanged glances, and discussed with their expressions. Then the guard who had just spoken spoke again: "Since it is Mr. Travel,
Then, sir, follow me to register in the side hall, and we will allocate a room to you. If you are really talented, someone from the county governor's house will come to you within three days to test you personally."
"Then please lead the way!" Xu Shu was very confident in himself. Zhu Kui opened the Lixian Hall, but he also wanted to issue a list to test the talent of the talented people. Xu Shu did not object to this.
Don’t you see, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lord Xinling of Wei, Lord Mengchang of Qi, Lord Pingyuan of Zhao, and Lord Chunshen of Chu were said to have three thousand followers, but only a few of them had useful talents.
Eighty percent of the food raised by such a large feudal town was used to build the country with the money raised by the idle people. Presumably, Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Wei would have become strong long ago.
In the big wave of gold mining, Fang showed his true ability, and the real master, otherwise he accepted a group of mediocre people in his name. At a critical moment, the master listened to the words of these mediocre people and missed the big event. Wouldn't it be a tragedy? You must know that there are many people, and the power is strong, and words are important.
.
The strength of a country and political power depends on its true talents and its people who are loyal to you. Three thousand disciples cannot stop the astonishing talents Shang Yang and Han Feizi from reforming the Qin State, which finally made the Qin State solemn and powerful, and the First Emperor unified the world.
Xu Shu led the guard into the gate. As he passed by, the remaining guards greeted him with courtesy. It seemed that Zhu Kui had trained them very strictly. Those who corresponded to the list, no matter what the outcome, should at least treat him with courtesy.
It's morally right to treat him as a courtesy to the virtuous corporal. This first feeling is very good.
In the main lobby of the Lixian Hall facing the main entrance, Xu Shu held back his gaze slightly. There were crowds of people inside at this moment. There seemed to be more than ten people in the hall, and fierce voices could be heard from time to time.
There were also more than a dozen guards guarding the outside of the hall, but these few gave Xu Shu the feeling of being more bloody and powerful than the guards at the gate outside.
