The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 201 Conceived Ideas About Seeking Talents
Everything was developing step by step, and the time came to the end of November in a blink of an eye.

On the last day of this month, Lin Chao took Guo Jia to visit Zheng Xuan.

There is a river not far to the east of Tan County, named Shushui. Zheng Xuan now lives by the river.

This is not Lin Chao's claim, but Zheng Xuan's own.

Old man Zheng, as a great Confucian of his generation, likes to be close to mountains and rivers to appreciate the elegance of wind and moon.

It's a pity that now it's almost the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Shu River has long since frozen over, the grass and trees by the river have long since withered and turned yellow, and even the fallen leaves have turned into mud, which is bare and full of the chill of winter.

So old man Zheng didn't see the elegance of Fengyue he expected, but was terribly cold, so he could only wrap up tightly and hide in the house to keep warm.

However, old man Zheng looks good today, and he is also very happy with Lin Chao's arrival.Even though he is in the same grade, he still insists on not drinking tea, but invites Lin Chao to drink fine wine with a smile.

Of course, it is warm.

This made Guo Jia very happy. He hadn't drank much for half a month.

Although every time Liu Bei hosted a banquet, he would call him, but in front of Liu Bei, the lord, he never dared to get drunk.

Seeing Guo Jia drinking wildly, Zheng Xuan was not surprised and just smiled.

Isn't alcohol brought back to the government and strictly restricted? Where did old man Zheng come from?
He shouldn't be brewing wine privately, it's against the law.

Lin Chao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, then put down the wine glass, and asked seriously: "Teacher, where did you get this wine from?"

Zheng Xuan stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zichu, this old man's sake is brewed by himself when he has nothing to do."

The decree to return alcohol to government camps had been issued a long time ago, but Zheng Xuan drank it with peace of mind, because he didn't sell alcohol, he just kept it for his own consumption.

Poor Zheng Xuan, he only knows that wine cannot be sold privately, but he doesn't know that he can't brew it privately.

Hearing this, Lin Chao nodded, took another sip, and said solemnly: "Teacher, Duke Xuande has a decree that it is illegal to make wine without paying taxes, and you will be fined five hundred. You see When you have time, go and pay the fine.”

Zheng Xuan: "..."

Zheng Xuan almost twisted his nose in anger!
Lin Zichu, this scoundrel, was actually punished on someone's head!

Mr. Xuande already has a decree, isn't it all made by you, Lin Zichu?

If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have entertained you with drinks!

"Lin Zichu, get out of here, old man!"

Zheng Xuan shouted loudly, picked up his crutches to drive Lin Chao away.

"Teacher, don't be angry, don't be angry, it will hurt you... The disciples are just joking, just joking."

Seeing that old man Zheng was angry, Lin Chao quickly apologized and said with a smile: "If the teacher is ashamed, how about the disciple paying the fine for the teacher?"

Hearing this, Zheng Xuan became even more angry, am I the one who lacks that little money!
Then he said angrily: "Lin Zichu, you are now an official, and you are going to bully your master and destroy your ancestors, right? Well, I will go and pay the fine now, let's see who dares to accept it!"

Lin Chao quickly replied: "Teacher, it is Senior Brother Ji Gui who is in charge of rewards and punishments."

Zheng Xuan: "..."

Lin Chao looked at Zheng Xuan who was about to petrify, and asked with concern: "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't call me teacher, I don't have your apprentice!"

Zheng Xuan snorted coldly, turned his face away, and didn't intend to talk to Lin Chao at all.

"Teacher, please don't be angry." Lin Chao smiled, and handed over a piece of paper at the same time, "Teacher, I really have something important to ask for my disciple's visit today."

Zheng Xuan snorted and took it, and after scanning the content on it, the anger on his face disappeared immediately.

Instead, there was a serious look on his face.

After a long time, Zheng Xuan slowly put down the paper in his hand.

"Zi Chu, are you really going to do this?"

Lin Chao didn't speak, but just nodded to express his determination.

Zheng Xuan smiled wryly, and persuaded again: "Zi Chu, although this matter is good, but it is too hasty, it is better to slow down first."

Seeing the expressions of the two, Guo Jia, who was drinking at the side, suddenly became curious, turned his head to look at the paper, and saw three big words at the beginning of it.

Recruitment order!
As soon as these three words came out, Guo Jia didn't understand what Lin Chao wanted to do, so he couldn't help but gasped.

hiss!
I didn't expect Lin Zichu to be so courageous!

Such things as recruiting orders have existed since ancient times.

Before the Han Dynasty, the most famous and most courageous one was Qin Xiaogong's Order of Seeking Talents.

In this order of seeking talents, Qin Xiaogong showed great sincerity, saying that anyone who can strengthen Qin would divide the land with him.This attracted Shang Yang to enter the Qin Dynasty, reformed the law and strengthened the country, laying the foundation for unifying the world.

Before Qin Xiaogong, Wei Wenhou once built a high platform, sought sages everywhere, and finally took the lead in dominating the troubled times.

Afterwards, King Yanzhao's daughter bought horse bones and built a golden platform to seek talents. Finally, Su Qin and Le Yi were invited to defeat Qi.

But that was the Warring States Period, an era when princes competed for hegemony.Scholars are mostly open-minded, looking towards Qin Muchu.Whoever can give him the greatest power, the greatest trust, and the most realization of his ambitions will scramble for refuge.

The recruiting order at this time is naturally appropriate.

But right now is the end of the Han Dynasty, the era when powerful families monopolize the officialdom. If you issue a recruitment order at this time, it is tantamount to telling those families directly that I don't want to employ you, I want to use humble scholars.

That aristocratic family will never take refuge in you until it is absolutely necessary.

Lin Chao didn't know this, but facing Zheng Xuan's persuasion, he still shook his head, cupped his hands and said to Zheng Xuan:

"Teacher, there are some things that are most appropriate to do now. If you don't do it now, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."

"But most of the scholars in this world come from aristocratic families after all. If you act like this, Zichu, you will lose the heart of the aristocratic family." Zheng Xuan still smiled bitterly, "At that time, not only you Lin Zichu, but even Liu Xuande will be greatly disappointed .”

Lin Chao said, "Teacher, I have heard a word before, and today I will ask the teacher for advice."

"What?"

"The truth in the world is often in the hands of a few people. The rest are just mediocre people, so there is nothing to worry about."

"This……"

Zheng Xuan saw that Lin Chao's face was calm but his eyes were clear, and he understood that the matter was irreversible, and immediately let out a long sigh.

"Zichu, what can I do for you as a teacher?"

Zheng Xuan was born in a poor family, so he naturally recognized the order of seeking talents, but he was worried that Lin Chao would act too hastily, which would lead to bad things.

He was even more worried that once this order came out, his little apprentice would be hated by the world's aristocratic families.

Lin Chao cupped his hands and saluted Zheng Xuan, and said, "Thank you, Teacher, for your understanding. This has caused my disciples to delete and edit many times, but in the end, I can't get the point. I hope the teacher can polish it a little bit."

"Yes, I promise you as a teacher." Zheng Xuan nodded and said, "Besides, most of the disciples as a teacher are from humble backgrounds, so I can recruit them for Zichu to strengthen my momentum."

"Thank you teacher!"

"You and I are a master and apprentice. As a teacher, I can't do much for you. It's just a token of my heart." Zheng Xuan smiled, "It's just that your brothers and sisters are scattered all over the world, and it will take some time to convene. When will Zichu plan to issue this recruiting order?"

Lin Chao thought for a moment, and then said, "Teacher, the high platform for recruiting talents has not been completed yet. Besides, it will take some time for the Xuegong Academy to be built, so there is no rush. When the high platform and the academy are completed, the disciples will seek talents." Let the news of Ling and the Academy's enrollment spread out together."

Speaking of the academy, Zheng Xuan immediately became interested. The old man has either been studying or teaching in his life.

"Zichu, I'm not impatient for the teacher, but I just want to ask, what is the scale of Donghai Academy that is being built now?"

Lin Chao smiled confidently: "Don't worry, teacher, Donghai Academy will be the largest academy in the entire Dahan! It will not be a problem to accommodate nearly ten thousand students."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xuan was taken aback.

As soon as he gave birth, an academy of this size was unheard of.

"Nearly ten thousand students..."

Zheng Xuan murmured, his eyes filled with longing.

"However, as a teacher alone, I absolutely cannot teach so many students."

After reacting, Zheng Xuan smiled wryly again.

Lin Chao pointed to Guo Jia next to him, and asked suspiciously:
"Teacher, even a notorious person like Guo Fengxiao has one or two close friends. As a great Confucian of the generation, don't you even have a single friend?"

Zheng Xuan: "..."

Guo Jia:? ? ?
Traitor, sooner or later, ask someone to cut off your tongue!
"As a teacher and confidant all over the world, why do you need to talk too much!" Zheng Xuan said angrily.

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Then teacher can write a book and invite them over. Duke Xuande will treat him like a national scholar."

"If you want to exchange knowledge and study scriptures, you can naturally invite me as a teacher, but..."

When Zheng Xuan said this, he suddenly glared at Lin Chao, and then remained silent.

Lin Chao also understood what he meant. Although this Donghai Academy is for teaching and educating people, its surname is Liu after all, and the people who come out must be used by Liu Bei, with some utilitarian purposes.

It was also for this reason that Zheng Xuan was unwilling to call friends.

Lin Chao persuaded again: "Teacher can tell you directly in the letter, if you want to come, you can come, if you don't want to come, the disciple will never force you, how about it?"

"This one……"

Zheng Xuan thought for a moment, and finally said: "Zi Chu, please think twice about this matter."

"It's natural." Lin Chao cupped his hands.

……

After leaving Zheng Xuan's home, Guo Jia suddenly asked, "Zi Chu, are you really planning to issue an order to seek meritorious service, not to ask about background, but only about talent and learning?"

Lin Chao nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise, what are you and I talking about today?"

"If that's the case, a certain generation of humble scholars in the world will thank Zichu first."

Guo Jia, who has always been a loafer, looked solemn at this moment, and even straightened his clothes, and gave a big gift to Lin Chao.

Although the Guo family is a famous family, Guo Jia is only a side branch, and has not been valued by the family for a long time, just like a poor family.

Naturally, he could empathize with the plight of the humble scholars, and this ceremony was sincere.

"Feng Xiao is polite, don't forget, this is also from a poor family." Lin Chao smiled and helped Guo Jia up, "However, if Feng Xiao is sincerely grateful to X, why not give X a few kowtows, this is the best way to show sincerity .”

Guo Jia:  …

This Lin Zichu is really brazen and not a son of man!

　The resurrection with full blood starts from tomorrow, and the [-]D is at least [-]. Let's see if it lasts for a few days.
