Chapter 308 Under the Explosion of the Seeking Talent Order

"Shopkeeper, hurry up and get a copy of the latest issue of Hongdu Journal!"

"okay!"

"This is money!"

"Guest officer, today's Hongdu Journal is all given away for free, no money is charged, please take it away, guest officer!"

"What? I thought this benefit was gone long ago, but I didn't expect it to be available today, so I'm not welcome!"

"Today's Hongdu Journal is given away for free!"

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, one hundred pass one thousand, this issue of Hongdu Journal is given away for free, and it caused a sensation all around at the beginning, the thinking of the descendants of Yan and Huang, free things, don’t waste them, one by one rushed to get a copy.

"Hurry up and get it, if you have it quickly, if you don't have it, if you go late, you will be exhausted!"

"Go, go!"

"..."

In half a day, Luo Yang was caught in a storm of Hongdu Journal.

"Pooh!"

"I want to see how long you can lose money!"

"Hmph, the Di Bao is the only knowledge, how can it be operated with such a dirty trick, this Hongdu Journal is really unrefined!"

"..."

Whether it's Confucianism Daily or Taixue Zaobao, they don't really care about it at this time, they just think that the Hongdu Journal is just for sale, but what they don't know is the content of this issue of the Hongdu Journal that caused a bigger storm .

"I don't know what the theme is today?"

"Should it be court policy?"

"Maybe it's the battle in Xiliang?"

"I heard that the imperial court intends to improve the city entry tax policy and is discussing it. Maybe this issue is about that!"

When they didn't get the Hongdu Journal, everyone was guessing, and then they couldn't wait to open the Hongdu Journal, wanting to prove the subject of their guess.

"what is this?"

"It's such a big title, with three characters, it already occupies a front face!"

"Is this—a merit order?"

"..."

When countless people got this issue of Hongdu Journal, they noticed at first sight the title that occupied the vast majority of the front panel. The title only had three words, three flamboyant characters—Seeking Talents Order.

"Seeking merit order?"

"Could it be that the article in this issue is an order to seek merit?"

"Wouldn't this be an order to seek talents issued by the imperial court?"

"Probably not, the imperial court still needs to issue an order to seek talents?"

"Could it be Qin Xiaogong's order for seeking talents, the order for seeking talents written by Qin Xiaogong back then, but the words were gorgeous, and countless people responded. It is also possible to publish it and let us learn about it. !"

"may be!"

"..."

Countless scholars in groups of twos and threes began to discuss eagerly about the headline of this newspaper, and they were all attracted by the headline that captured everyone's attention.

But as everyone took the newspaper and read it deeply, they realized that this was a genuine order to seek merit.

Under the title, the charming prose was also read silently by some scholars, and the voice covered the teahouse and wine shop, so that many people could hear it with their own ears.

"A king who has been appointed and revived since ancient times, can't you imagine that a sage and gentleman can rule the world with him?"

"It's a good thing, and I never went out of Luxiang. How lucky to meet you?"

"The people at the top don't ask for ears. Today is still undecided, and this is the time to seek talents."

"..."

When halfway through the reading, many scholars had already begun to react, and they began to discuss eagerly.

"Is this a merit-seeking order issued by the imperial court?"

"The imperial court wants us to issue an order to seek talents?"

"how can that be?"

"I don't know who wrote this order for seeking talents, but it has a lot of charm. It must be that the order for seeking talents written by Qin Xiaogong in the past is more enthusiastic and has extraordinary literary talent!"

"Maybe out of the hands of a Confucian!"

"..."

Many scholars have some face-to-face glimpses.

You must know that today is the Han Dynasty, and the rules of the court are strict. It was not in the pre-Qin and Warring States periods that talents had nowhere to recommend and lived in foreign countries.

"Don't make noise, keep reading!"

"That's right, if you want to quarrel, you'll be quarreling later, now listen to them read, I want to hear the whole thing!"

Some people started to drink loudly. These people couldn't read at all, but they were also curious and wanted to hear what the court's order to seek talents was all about.

"Meng Gongchuo is superior to Zhao and Wei, but not Teng and Xue."

"If it is necessary to be a low-ranking scholar, then how can Qi Huan dominate the world! Is there no one who is caught in Weibin by Brown Huaiyu today?"

"Are there no thieves who receive money without encountering ignorant people?"

"The second and third sons help me to be bright and humble, but only to use their talents, and I have to use them!"

No matter in teahouses, restaurants, or streets and alleys, there are quite a few people who can read and write. This order of seeking talents has been recited over and over again by countless caring people, and the voice echoed in almost every corner of Luoyang City.

It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded, and after all, the powerful radiation it carried caused a burst of chemical reactions that made countless people tremble with fear.

"The order to seek talents, to seek talents from all over the world, what a bold tone!" Someone sighed.

"This is clearly a conspiracy by the Mu family, they are too hateful!" Some people saw it clearly and showed a state of anger.

"Advocating only talents? What a meritocracy, losing my bottom line of Confucian morality!" Some Confucianists lamented.

"Master Mu is so thirsty for talents, he must have something to think about!" A person who thinks deeply, thinks about things that ordinary people dare not think about, and suddenly feels chills all over his body.

"The imperial court seeks talents, and I have great ambitions. I don't know if I can recommend myself!"

"I've been recommended for several years, but I don't have a certain name. If I go down like this, I'm afraid I will disappear under the crowd here in the future. If I can be appreciated by those who seek talents, maybe I still have a chance!"

"This is the imperial court's request for talent, I agree, it doesn't matter!"

There are not a few people who are eager to pursue an official career. In front of this order to seek talents, they are naturally uneasy and start to act one after another.

……

Xicheng Street.

A few rangers with swords at their waists, each dressed in greeting robes, surrounded a scholar.

"Fang Xiucai, what is it talking about!"

"Boss Kuang, this is an order issued by the imperial court to seek talents. Only talents are selected, and talents are not asked for virtue!"

"Seeking talents?" The ranger leader squinted his eyes: "The imperial court seeks talents?"

"To be precise, it should be Taifu Mushan who is seeking talents. Under the newspaper, there is also a message that a seeking talents hall has been opened in the city. Anyone who has talent, no matter whether he is civil or military, whether he is a Confucian apprentice or not, is a talent from a hundred schools of thought." , talents from other sects, as long as they are talented people, can enter the pavilion!"

"Boss, why don't we try it!"

Some people are moved, and the life of rangers has not been easy recently. These rangers who are in the capital have been affected by Wang Yue alone, and they have been chased and beaten by the Jinwu Yamen. Recently, they dare not come out to ask for a living.

"Boss, it's okay to give it a try!"

"That's right, Boss, our martial arts can be regarded as one of the best among Luoyang rangers!"

Five or six rangers are persuading the leader of the rangers.

The leader of the ranger is in his early forties, with a beard all over his face, but his temples are bulging. He is obviously a master of Qi training and internal strength. He holds a sword, his eyes are vivid, and he looks at the scholar next to him: "Fang Xiucai, you Is it reliable or not?"

"this?"

Fang Xiucai thought about it, and said: "As far as I know, Master Mu is a native of the green forest. In the past, he was a Nanyang Yellow Turban, and the rebels were whitewashed before entering the court and controlling the power of the court. But because of his humble background, no one followed him. , there is no one available in his hands, so it is possible for him to seek talents that he desperately wants!"

"Then I'll give it a try!" The leader of the ranger was moved, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If this continues, we will be forced to death sooner or later by the Zhijin Wuti rider, and we have no skills to make a living when we leave Luoyang, so we might as well fight for it If you fight, maybe you can even spell out a fortune!"

In the capital, fish and dragons are mixed together. There are countless rangers like this. They are all begging for a living in Luoyang, and then they are forced into a desperate situation, and then they are covered by the sudden order to seek talents. There are also many who want to yearn for the seeking talents... …

……

……

There are four famous squares in Luoyang South City.

"Brother Guo, what do you think of this seeking merit order?"

Four poor scholars, the older one is forty years old, the youngest is only in his early twenties, they are sitting on the ground in a small courtyard, discussing a piece of Hongdu Journal on the table.

"In the pre-Qin period, the Qin State was located in the land of Xiqi, and was excluded by the people of the Central Plains, but it will eventually become the hegemony and dominate the country!"

The leading scholar, about 30 years old, exudes a refined temperament, a square face, a pair of lifelike eyes, and a strong shaking force in his voice, he said faintly: "Everyone says that Qin Zhigong, It is the first emperor, but someone has a different opinion. Qin's shocking career is accumulated by several generations of Qin kings, among whom Qin Xiaogong is the most. Enter Hangu Pass and establish a firm foundation for Qin, and only then will Qin have the foundation to rule the world in the future!"

"But now none of us know the meaning of this seeking merit order?" the young scholar said in a low voice.

"what for?"

The leading scholar said in a deep voice: "This is Mu's seeking talent!"

"Master Mu seeking talent?"

The other three, upon hearing this, peeped at each other.

"The Mu family started from humble beginnings, and they have no great achievements. Only a strong soldier can hardly stabilize the country. Regardless of the imperial power, the gentry alone is making things difficult for him, which is enough to make him useless!" the leading scholar said softly. : "He seeks talents with the order of seeking talents. The so-called is nothing more than consolidating his position. What's more, he has the heart of hegemony and intends to subvert it. This is obvious and eager!"

"Then we don't care about the merit order!" Someone said righteously.

"No, how can such a great opportunity be missed!"

The leading scholar said coldly: "We came from a poor family, and we are even more humble than the Mu family. No one has asked about it for ten years, and the Mu family still has the power to lead a large army, but we can get ahead. How can we have anything? If you can't get in, won't you be suppressed by those gentry students in the end?"

"Who said no?"

"At the time when Xiaolian was promoted, Brother Guo was obviously more capable, but he was given to the dandies of the Han family. It is nothing more than that the Han family is a century-old family with profound family knowledge, so it is only for the Confucianists to choose?"

Several people said angrily.

"We want to get ahead, the only way is to seek talents!" The leading scholar surnamed Guo held the newspaper in his hand and said firmly: "Tomorrow I will go to the Qiuxian Hall. This is the only occasion. I don't want to miss it. As for the future, I can't care less about it!"

"I will go with Brother Guo!"

The three nodded, bowed their hands and saluted each other, meaning that they were like-minded and walked together on the way forward.

Luoyang is the capital of the empire, and the degree of popularization of knowledge here far exceeds that of any city in the Han Dynasty. There are as many scholars here as there are countless people who are depressed and unsuccessful.

Just like these four people, there are many scholars who are attracted by the Order of Seeking Talents, and their hearts are not as good as their actions. Many scholars set off one after another, yearning for the Hall of Seeking Talents...

……

……

In less than three days, the order of seeking talents covered Guanzhong.

This merit-seeking order is like a virus, and the Hongdu Journal is the way to transmit this virus. When the Hongdu Journal began to spread in Luoyang, spread out of Guanzhong, and began to scatter in all directions, the seeking merit order was also transmitted. out.

In the land of Guanzhong, there are countless talents, who are unrecognized for their talents, have the ability of a thousand-mile horse, but are not appreciated by Bole, and have no way to enter the door. At this time, they are suddenly moved by the pursuit of talents, and they are looking forward to the Qiuxian Pavilion in Luoyang. .

"Husband, pack up and salute, where are you going to study!"

"Madam, I entrust you at home. I will go to Luoyang for my husband and ask for a virtuous order. The virtuous and capable are available. Although my husband is an amazing talent, but I also have the ability to be safe when I ask myself. I will try it for my husband!"

"Husband is gone, the big and small things in the family, the concubine will take care of them, and wait for the husband to return!"

"..."

"Son, where are you going?"

"Father, in the old days when I put my mother in the coffin, it was a great treason. In the village, I lost my reputation, had no morals to rely on, was rejected by scholars, and studied for half my life, but the way forward was blocked. The child is not reconciled. Now the court issued a The order to seek talents does not ask about one's background, one does not ask about one's virtue;

"Go, son, the world is vast, you can explore as much as you want, don't worry about being a father, being a father is at home, waiting for you to succeed in your career!"

"It is a crime for a child not to be filial to his father. In the future, he will be at his father's knees to make up for today's regrets!"

"My son is talented, how can he be such a mother-in-law, he should act like a man!"

"..."

"Brother, I want to go to Luoyang!"

"What are you going to Luoyang for?"

"I heard that Luoyang promulgated the order to seek talents from all over the world, regardless of background, regardless of moral character, civil and military. I have been studying martial arts for many years, and I have a lot of martial arts. It's a pity to waste it here. I want to go to Luoyang to make a fortune! "

"I'll go with you!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

"..."

"Master, I want to go to Luoyang!"

"Luo Yang, that's my crouching tiger, hidden dragon!"

"Although I have studied art with my master, it has been more than ten years. I have learned the craftsmanship of my master's life and passed down the craftsmanship of Mohism. However, it cannot be inherited by the world, and I cannot justify the name of my master. I am unwilling. The order can accommodate other ways, I want to give it a try!"

"Think about it, this may still be a trap!"

"I've made up my mind. If I don't give it a try, I won't be reconciled!"

"Then go ahead, the Mohist craft, the old man has already taught it to you, in the future you should explore it by yourself, if it can be passed down, it will be considered a good thing!"
