Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Recruitment
"Four million stones of grain will last us until next summer. Even if we want to gather the refugees in Qingzhou, we can barely support it. My suggestion is to continue construction. Where they gather is where we will build. We can do the same thing for Zhao Yun's farm order and also implement it there." Chen Xi said, while holding the pages of the book and casually looking at the content. He doesn't have the habit of opening praise and other nonsense. Although he has to do it sometimes, but now, he doesn't need to do it.
"In view of the lack of food, I intend to let Mi family buy food in Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou. Similarly, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping will also buy cattle and horses from the prairie. After that, the cattle and sheep will be killed. As for the problem of the northern cattle not use for farming, we will get back to it and think of a solution." Chen Xi continued to increase investment in grain and grass.
"Qingzhou salt industry has already stocked up enough materials to take over the salt industry in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei needs to be psychologically prepared to resist the counterattack of the family in the salt industry. There are two ways to deal with this, one is to ignore it and directly conduct dumping transactions. Let all the salt merchants lose their qualifications to enter the market, and make those aristocratic families feel that there is no value in continuing to do it." Chen Xi said the danger and the solution at the same time, he was also prepared. "Of course the disadvantage of this method is that the family will hold grudges, and they will never be soft when they have the opportunity to take advantage of us. The advantage is that no one can mix sand, and as we become stronger, they will gradually constrain themselves. Be mindful of the fact that this can be regarded as a kind of benchmark to know exactly how much stronger we have become, but it is a little more troublesome." Chen Xi said while looking at Liu Bei.
"Has Liu Bei consider whether to use this method?" Lu Su asked Liu Bei with a smile. "Liu Bei can rest assured that even if this method is used, with the cautiousness of Chen Xi, he will not give the family any room for turning over. " Liu Bei nodded when he heard this.
Chen Xi glanced at the two of them. When did they have so much confident in him, but before Liu Bei could speak, he continued to speak. After all, the first option severely offended a handful of family.
"Although I don't really like the aristocratic families who grasp the necessities of life, but I think we can suppress them instead and use them for other things. As long as it is profitable, there are definitely many families who are willing to bow their heads." Chen Xi shrugged and said. "I think it is necessary to ease the atmosphere between the us and the families. Of course, I think it is necessary to clean up the family in Yingchuan. The latest information shows that Xun Yu has arrived under Cao Cao's command. Cao Cao called him 'My Han Luck'! Plus, the attitude of the Yingchuan family when we went, I think the arrogance of the aristocratic family will also create enemies of their own. I don't mind sharing the profits of the Yingchuan family with others, so someone will help us deal with them."
"Cao Cao is really arrogant. He actually dare to call a literary minister as 'My Han Luck'. How ignorant is he! "Zhang Fei loudly quipped, "Can a mortal compare to the three heroes of Han Dynasty from four hundred years ago? "
It can be seen that Zhang Liang has a great status in the eyes of Zhang Fei, who is from an old Zhang family.
"Although I don't want to admit it very much, the fact is that if Xun Yu was really in the early Han Dynasty, he would probably not be weaker than the three heroes." Chen Xi glanced at Zhang Fei, and then said solemnly, "Cao Cao doesn't like to flatter others."
After listening to Chen Xi's words, Lu Su and Liu Bei look at each other helplessly. The three heroes, that was a pinnacle that could not be surpassed. Now there are talents comparable to the three heroes, and they are not working with them. This is really troublesome. As for the credibility of Chen Xi's words, Liu Bei and Lu Su have always recognized it.
"We can put Xun Yu aside, since I can fight this guy with Lu Su. The trouble is the Xun family's connections, or more sepcifically, Xun Yu's contacts. A genius friends can only be geniuses, so soon Cao Cao will take off. "Chen Xi put down the manuscript paper casually, "So we need talents now. Since we can't get them from the family, then we will pick out the talents we need, and we will recruit them from the world."
With a smile on his face, Chen Xi pressed his hand on his seat cushion and stood up. "Please issue a recruitment order to recruit talents from all over the world, Liu Bei. Regardless of background, only ask for talents!"
Lu Su was frightened, then reacted quickly and reached out to grabbed Chen Xi's sleeve, hoping that Chen Xi would sit back down. This thing was too shocking. Once it was done, it would really break the recommendation system of the family. And those who violated universal morals would be abandoned by the world!
Liu Bei smiled bitterly. He finally understood that Chen Xi was blocking him here. He was wondering if this order could be done? Once ordered, he broke the 400-year, or 1,200-year recommendation system, but looking at Chen Xi's determined expression, without the order, Liu Bei knew that he would lose Chen Xi.
"Okay! I, Liu Bei, will be the first person to recruit talents from all over the world." Looking at Chen Xi's face, Liu Bei finally made up his mind.
"Liu Bei won't be the first person to do this. The first to do it was Qin Xiao Gong. The importance of Shang Yang's reform was self-evident. The 700 years of chaos in the world was swept away, and the second to do so was King Zhao of Yan. Taiwan recruits talents, recruits all the wise men from all over the world, and then..." Chen Xi turned his head and glanced at Lu Su who was still pulling his sleeve.
"Ahem, Liu Bei should know that Qi country was strong and Yan country was weak back then. The Qi country once destroyed the Yan country, and King Zhao of Yan wanted to change the state of the country, but the wise men of the world went in and out of Jixia Academy but did not go to the country of Yan. Therefore, the Yan country was unable to challenge the Qi country. King Zhao of Yan had no choice but to build a golden platform to invite the world's wise men. They even sold their horses. Since then, the people of the world have recognized King Zhao of Yan's sincerity, so Yue Yi, Zou Yan, and Ju Xin all went to the country of Yan. Everyone should know what happened afterwards." Lu Su has allusions to these histories at his fingertips, and there are no mistakes in the name. Chen Xi can also be remembered by Yue Yi and Zou Yan, but the others he does not remembered.
Everyone knows the rest of the matter: Qi State was directly destroyed by Yue Yi. No matter how great the Jixia Academy was, it could not stop the attacks of the magnates from all over the world. Yue Yi late fled because he was afraid of King Zhao's son, King Hui. Later, the Yan army was broken by Tian Dan's fire bull formation, and the Qi country was restored...
"Liu Bei, please remember that there are many talents in the world. Jixia Academy claims to have enlisted all the talents in the world, but after the golden platform brought in Yue Yi, the five nations easily broke the Qi country. Also now, the talents of the world seem to be swept by the aristocratic families, but I dare say that as long as you give an order, there will naturally be a talented person who is enough to help you defeat the children of the aristocratic family." Chen Xi cupped his hand and said, "Please issue the recruitment order Liu Bei!"
Lu Su also stood up and saluted Liu Bei deeply, "Please issue the recruitment order Liu Bei." After that, everyone stood up and said in unison, "Please issue the recruitment order, lord Liu Bei."
At the end of September, 191 AD, lord Liu Bei issued an order to recruit the talents from all over the world to Taishan, regardless of origin, past, and morality. Since King Zhao of Yan 500 years ago, the third order of recruitment came to life.
