The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 638 Barbecue Giant Panda

The ancients believed in small words and great righteousness very much, so no matter what article you write, you should pay attention to a concise and clear, but can highlight the key points.

As one of the seven sons of Jian'an, Chen Lin is well versed in this way, and her literary talent is naturally impeccable.

So although Liu Bei's speech skills are not very good, but with the content as a guarantee, everyone in the audience is still fascinated.

After a while, Liu Bei finished reading the recruitment order, and the audience immediately burst into applause, and there was an endless stream of applause from each other.

Then it entered the formal process of recruiting talents, the exam.

That's right, it's an exam!

In ancient times, when a monarch recruited talents, it was based on talents.

However, the recruiting system that Lin Dynasty is trying to implement is to emphasize both ability and political integrity, and the way to show talent is through examinations.

In this way, when the imperial examination system is introduced in the future, it will be able to take advantage of the trend, and the world will not feel abrupt.

Of course, the content of the exam is not simply a subset of classics and history, and Lin Chao is not so short-sighted.

The sage's learning is to teach how to be a human being, not how to rule people.There are very few people who can understand the political truth from it.

Under Lin Chao's instruction, the exam questions Xun Chen set up this time were all very realistic questions, and they were divided into several subjects.

Agriculture and mulberry, water conservancy, knowledge, criminal names, calculations, construction, and even administrative policies are all divided into specific subjects, and candidates who come to recruit can choose their own examination subjects.

In this way, it can be regarded as absorbing talents in many ways.

These poor students don't have any upward channels, so they naturally don't have as much resistance as their family members to this method of not taking school classics.

Before holding this exam, Xun Chen had already sent officials from the Ministry of Officials to conduct a simple test on the visiting scholars, and eliminated those who only knew how to read and write but had no real talents. Therefore, the scholars who can take the exam today There are only more than three hundred people, and most of them are somewhat capable.

The exam lasted for an hour, during which Liu Bei strictly ordered the crowd not to make noise, so as not to affect the scholars who took the exam.

At this moment, Liu Bei is sitting on the high platform.

Although a little boring, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he, a captain, naturally pays attention to his dignity.

But when he saw Lin Chao and Jia Xu arriving, he smiled and ordered Lin Chao to come up and sit beside him.

"Zichu, when the recruiting platform was completed a few days ago, a certain person inspected it, but unexpectedly found a great talent."

Liu Bei smiled happily at Lin Chao, with a hint of showing off in his tone.

Although you, Lin Zichu, were the ones who recruited talents in the past, a certain person is also able to recognize people with discerning eyes.

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Oh, but I don't know who the master Xuande is talking about?"

Liu Bei raised his hand with a smile and said with a smile, "This man's name is Lu Zijing, but he is a rare talent."

Lin Chao didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard the word Lu Zijing, his whole body suddenly became energetic.

Looking in the direction Liu Bei pointed, Lin Chao found a tall young man who was answering the question with concentration.However, the subject he applied for was the most difficult administration.

Seeing that the person exudes a calm and introverted temperament, Lin Chao immediately understood that this person is undoubtedly Lu Su.

Such a big fish, I don't want to be met by Liu Bei like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, this luck is also unspeakable.

Lin Chao laughed and said, "Dongcheng Lu Zijing, although he came from a businessman and is not well-known, he is assertive and stands out from everyone else. He is truly a genius!"

Hearing this, all eyes on the stage immediately turned to Lu Su.

There are really not many people who can get such an evaluation from Lin Chao!

Liu Bei was surprised and said, "Zichu has heard of Lu Zijing?"

"I've heard it a little bit." Lin Chao said with a smile.

"In this way, I, Xuzhou, will add another great talent today."

Lin Chao smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Lord Xuande!"

After listening to the conversation between the two, everyone understood that this young man named Lu Zijing had completely entered Liu Bei's field of vision, and his career in the future would be smooth sailing.

Seeing that Liu Bei wanted to use Lu Su, Lin Chao smiled and asked, "Mr. Xuande, although this Lu Zijing is talented, but he has never been an official, so he should not rush to a high position. How does my lord plan to appoint him?" ?”

"This……"

Liu Bei wanted to appoint directly, but Xun Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was beside him, so Liu Bei had no choice but to change his mouth and say with a smile: "The appointment and dismissal of personnel should be deliberated by the Ministry of Officials. But according to a certain opinion, it is better to let Lu Zijing enter the inner palace first." After some experience, given time, it will become a great weapon."

To become an official in the Imperial Palace, one must first be familiar with the operation of the entire government affairs in Xuzhou, and then slowly promote. This is a safe way to advance.

However, Lin Chao has a different view.

"Mr. Xuande, the court is the head of the Taiwei's mansion, and he is busy with daily government affairs, and he can't do what he wants for a long time. How about transferring Lu Zijing to the Taiwei's mansion as the master book to help the court record and review documents?"

Although the position of the head of the Taiwei Mansion is not high in rank and power, it is a very important position.Because it is responsible for recording and managing all the documents in the Taiwei Mansion, it knows a lot, and most of them are positions for training important officials, so it has always been vacant.

Lin Chao had very high expectations for Lu Su, even higher than the ministers of the various ministries of the inner government. Naturally, he wanted to train him himself, and he might not be able to become the second Xun Yu in the future.

"Zichu, the position of chief bookkeeper has a lot to do with it. Lu Zijing...is it worthy of such trust?"

Liu Bei hesitated.

Lin Chao nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, Lu Zijing can afford it."

"Okay, since Zichu intends to train him, then there is no reason for him not to allow it."

"Thank you, Lord Xuande!"

……

After the examination on the recruiting platform was over, Lu Su left with everyone.

Some scholars are complacent because they performed well in the exam, and some scholars sighed because they failed the exam, and what's more, they began to feel uneasy... At least they will maintain this state until the results are announced.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, people passing by are full of thoughts, and all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the world gather here for a while.

It's just that people's sorrows and joys are not connected, Lu Su only felt that they were noisy.

From taking the stage for the exam to leaving at the end, Lu Su's face was calm from the beginning to the end, and his eyes were so clear that there were no waves.

After being wrapped in the crowd and returning to the post, a servant came up to greet him with a smile and asked, "Mr. Lang, how about recruiting talents today?"

"It's... not so good."

Lu Su shook his head, and slowly said this sentence from his mouth.

"Why?" the servant asked puzzled, "Your Majesty has the talent of heaven and man, why can't he be appreciated by Liu Taiwei? Could it be that there are villains obstructing it?"

Lu Su waved his sleeves and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Taiwei Liu is the master of the world, how can he be deceived by villains."

"Since that's the case, why is Mr. Lang..."

In the middle of speaking, the servant saw that Lu Su's expression was not good, so he stopped speaking.

Lu Su remained silent, just standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.Listening to the howling cold wind, the expression on his face finally showed some waves.

Under the talent recruitment stage today, Lu Su was really shocked when he saw Liu Bei read out the order of seeking talents all in one body.

But when it came time to take the exam, Lu Su calmed down, but his heart sank to the bottom.

A few days ago, I did have a very happy conversation with Liu Taiwei, and I can see that the Taiwei favors me a lot.But Lu Su knew in his heart that personal friendship is not the same as official business.

While drinking and chatting that day, Lu Su had found out Xuzhou's governing policy, but it was completely different from his own ideas. Therefore, no matter how much Liu Bei admired him, it was impossible for him to let himself enter the central decision-making center because of public affairs and personal interests.

As an honest gentleman, Lu Su naturally disdained to violate his own principles of life, so facing today's exam, Lu Su's answer naturally implemented his usual strategy of seeking stability.

Submitting such an answer sheet by myself is bound to run counter to the mainstream opinion in Xuzhou, and it is not surprising that it is not adopted.

In this way, even if Liu Taiwei rewarded him with a idle job in consideration of his old feelings, he would be ashamed to accept it.

"Ugh……"

Lu Su was silent for a long time, but finally let out a long sigh.

This trip to Xuzhou ended up with nothing.

In fact, from a personal point of view, Lu Su liked a monarch like Liu Bei very much, but the overall environment in Xuzhou was not compatible with him, so it would be meaningless to force him to stay.

"Pack your bags, we'll head home tonight."

After Lu Su came back to his senses, he spoke to the servant.

The servant asked in surprise, "Leave tonight?"

"good."

"But... Sir, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, shall we go back after the New Year..."

Seeing the embarrassed look on the servant's face, Lu Su finally realized that today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Just in time for the reunion of thousands of families, but I have to leave the stage sadly...

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Su smiled wryly, and then his heart suddenly brightened.

"There's no need to wait any longer, we'll leave tonight." Lu Su said with a smile, "Go back as soon as possible, and I can still see my aunt during the New Year's Eve."

Both of Lu Su's parents died when he was young, and his grandmother raised him, so the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is very deep.

"Lang Jun is right. It has been several months since I came out. I think the old lady should miss Lang Jun long ago." The servant followed with a smile, "With the talent of Lang Jun, even if he does not serve in Xuzhou, other princes will definitely grab him. want……"

"You talk a lot, so hurry up and pack your bags!"

Seeing that the servants were chattering, Lu Su couldn't help cursing with a smile.

Just as the master and servant were packing their luggage, a group of soldiers came outside the restaurant, and the leader was Zhang He.

Seeing that the door was not closed, Zhang Yun strode in directly, and asked, "Which one is Lu Zijing?"

Hearing this, Lu Su sized up Zhang He and the others first, then cupped his hands and said, "This is Lu Zijing, what advice, General?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Yun's face, and he cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Lu has outstanding literary talents, and he is the top one in this recruitment list. I will be ordered to come to greet you at the end!"

top?

How can it be!

For a moment, Lu Su was a little puzzled.

With his eyesight, he can naturally see how extraordinary Zhang Yun and others are.It's just that he never expected that he would be selected for this recruitment, and he was still No.1!
"This general, but the Taiwei wants to summon you?"

Lu Su suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, and asked a question.

"No." Zhang Yun replied, "A certain general is here under the order of Lin Changshi, to meet Mr. Lin."

It was Lin Zichu who wanted to meet someone!
Seeing that Lu Su was confused, Zhang He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, before leaving, my parents have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Lu Su cupped his hands and said, "Please show me, General."

Zhang He cleared his throat, and tried to imitate Lin Chao's tone of speech on weekdays, and said: "Zijing, don't be surprised, the Taiwei is the master of enlightenment, so I in Xuzhou have always employed people in an eclectic manner."

After hearing this sentence, Lu Su's face was full of shock.

What a Lin Zichu!
What an inclusive mind!

……

Lu Su originally thought that Zhang He would take him to Taiwei's Mansion or Changshi Mansion, but who knew that he followed Zhang He all the way, but went straight out of the city.

In the cold wind, Jia Xu felt a little uncomfortable from the cold. Although she was wearing a thick cloak, she still couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

"Zichu, can't we go after the year?"

Jia Xu looked at Lin Chao and complained with dissatisfaction.

Today I just said that I will go after a new year, how could you, Lin Zichu, suddenly change your mind!

Everyone is preparing to celebrate the New Year's Eve, but I have to travel far, and to kill people...

"Time waits for me."

Lin Chao shook his head decisively.

Jia Xu smiled wryly, "I'm afraid those aristocratic families won't have a good year when I leave."

"A group of dying people, why worry about their thoughts."

"Although that's what I said, but I'm almost half a hundred years old, and I just have the heart to let an old man run around for you at this time!"

After talking for a long time, Jia Xu still wanted to wait until the New Year passed before going.

"That's all right, all right, in such a cold weather, it's already enough for you to take you here, so don't push yourself too hard, let's get on the road."

"Forehead……"

Jia Xu felt that there was something wrong with Lin Chao's words, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he had to bow his hands.

"Since Lin Changshi is so inconsiderate of his subordinates, I have nothing to say."

Seeing Jia Xu's eccentricity, Lin Chao couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"If this is done, there will be plenty of time to rest and take a bath in the future, so it doesn't matter if you can't sleep forever."

While fighting back, Lin Chao took out his personal seal from his bosom and handed it over.

"This thing is for you, you can mobilize Jin Yiwei for your use."

After Jia Xu took over the seal, Lin Chao suddenly laughed again and said, "Wen He has always been well-read and memorized, but have you ever heard of the Pi Beast?"

"But the brave beast mentioned in the "Shangshu"?"

Jia Xu asked in confusion, wondering why Lin Chao suddenly brought up this matter.

The so-called Pishou is the name for giant pandas in this era.

"That's right, it's exactly this beast." Lin Chao continued to laugh, "Recently, a report came from the school affairs office, claiming that several wild beasts appeared on the border of Bingzhou, and they were successfully captured, and they are going to bring them back to Xuzhou to present to Duke Xuande.

Wenhe, you are so beautiful about this, so I asked Mr. Xuande to kill one for the hot pot, and leave half of it to make dried meat for you, how about it? "

If it is placed in later generations, the hunting and killing of giant pandas will naturally have to be imprisoned.

But now...

Lin Chao said, I have the final say on the territory of Xuzhou!
Furthermore, there are a large number of giant pandas in this era, and they have not become an endangered species.

If you want Jia Xu to work hard, you have to give him some benefits.

Sure enough, after hearing the price offered by Lin Chao, Jia Xu was stunned on the spot, even breathing a little short of breath.

I have eaten mutton jerky, pork jerky, and even beef jerky, but this beast jerky...

"It's a deal, no regrets!"

Jia Xu stared fixedly at Lin Chao, her heart full of determination.

"That's natural, a certain one has always kept his word!"

Lin Chao promised with a smile.

"Okay, Zichu will wait for some good news!"

After Jia Xu Pidianpidian left, Zhang Yun had already brought Lu Su over.

"Meet Chang Shi!"

Lu Su bowed his hands respectfully.

Lin Chao didn't speak, but just looked at Lu Su with such a smile.

For a moment, Lu Su immediately felt the pressure.

After a long time, Lin Chao waved his hand, signaling Lu Su to excuse him, but at the same time said: "The sky outside the city is full of wind and snow, but it is so beautiful, Zijing would like to follow a certain view?"

"As ordered."

Lu Su cupped his hands again.
