The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 205 Even if I, Chen Deng, die on the spot, it is impossible to buy it outside!
Xu Jing and Xu Shao mentioned Cao Cao, causing Xi Yu's expression to change slightly, "It's okay, my lord should be on his way."

"Uh, we, we have heard some news, that is, many Confucian scholars are worried about a certain situation..."

"What's the matter?" Xi Yu asked with a smile.

"That is, what is the meaning of Mr. Cao's passing on the teacher's list written by Mr.?"

After asking this question, Xi Yu was also stunned.

Speaking of which, he himself didn't expect Cao Cao to do this? !
Xu Jing said: "Could it be...Cao Gong is actually secretly angry..."

"How to say?"

"Uh, there are rumors in the market that my lord will let my husband disarm and return to the field after this incident, so he will use this to attract the world's advisers to return to his heart. Therefore, even if it is opened this month, the people who come are not necessarily celebrities. ..."

Having said that, Guo Jia's hand holding the wine glass suddenly paused.

Then he and Xi Yu exchanged a glance.

The two suddenly smiled.

Xi Yu smiled and said, "That's great, don't come here for celebrities! You can do it, I don't want celebrities."

"Not a celebrity?? Then, what are you doing here..."

Xu Jing and Xu Shao were dumbfounded. They had never done such a thing before, after all, they were facing the whole big man.The people who are judged are also celebrities, so they have the effect of rising like a dragon.

But if they only criticize some people who are not very high status, they really don't have that much information in their hands.

Although Xi Yu is in Xuzhou, he already has a great reputation. Apart from being able to attach himself to a poor family, the rest of the gentry will only praise him, but they will not vote.

Because it is no good to come here, after all, the real credit must be distributed by Mr. Cao, and how much can be distributed to Mr. Xi?
At most, it is in Xuzhou, as a prefect, or as a minister in Zhizhi.

In today's world, official positions are actually available at your fingertips. Of course, talented people are willing to be promoted from their clan's reputation and expand their connections. From this, they can get more people's attention and praise, and promote filial piety.

Therefore, if you become an official and become an official, if you have political achievements after a few years, then you can make a smooth rise and then give back to your clan. This is the key to their control of books in the first place, and their purpose is of course to be able to control the court.

Don't let the poor family get up too much, which suppresses the prosperity of the family.

Therefore, if Cao Cao had already planned to abandon Mr. Xi, of course all the counselors would go there, but the poor family could come here.

Xu Jing and Xu Shao immediately understood this truth.

For them, this is also a problem.

If they don't choose the path they should take, they may end up in trouble. At least this kind of power vortex is not something they can bear today.

The two of them are just critics, they have no official position, at best they can be regarded as celebrities.

However, if you look at it from a certain angle, this is not a problem.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with following Lord Xi Yu.

"Okay," Xu Jing nodded immediately, and quickly stood up and bowed deeply, "We brothers know what to do."

"No, no, no, you don't know yet," Xi Yu suddenly stood up, walked over and whispered to the two of them, "I think so, in the future, the monthly review can be set up for Xuzhou, and only evaluate the ones in Xuzhou. Characters are used for my promotion and appointment, and secondly, your comments on the scholars of the world, written down in the form of silk cloth, sealed and hidden, and sold to princes or other officials."

"what?!"

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment.

Can it still be like this?

"Then, will it have any impact on our reputation?"

Xu Shao blinked his eyes. The two brothers have been celebrities for many years, and secretly... also received money. Although everyone knows that celebrities should be noble, they will also give money when they want a word or two of criticism.

Xi Yu shook his head with a smile, and said: "I think so, your existence is actually a kind of recommendation to people from all over the world. Since you have already achieved such an effect, there is nothing wrong with selling. As for how to recruit, That’s up to the princes themselves.”

"Some eunuchs and state shepherds don't even know how many advisers there are in their territories. If you can solve these problems, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of money. If you think so, you will be ignorant of the sage's heart. Well, Leave the money here."

Xi Yu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I will bear this kind of infamy! Let money corrupt me, Xi Yu."

Let the money go to me... let the money corrupt me...

You are really...

Both of them laughed, this, this drama master... As expected of a drama master, he speaks and does things differently, he said asking for money so fresh and refined, he may be the No. 1 nowadays.

"Okay, but we don't know what kind of characters there are now."

Xi Yu smiled: "I know."

His smile is full of confidence.

And also understand that such a silk book, someone will definitely buy it!
……

At the end of the month, the news of the Yuedan Review spread throughout Xuzhou City, and among those lost territories, the news of the opening of the Yuedan Review was also received, and Yuan Shu's generals felt very distressed.

Because they have been eagerly waiting for Xiapi to send troops to fight, so as to find out the truth, but now they are not sure what the commander inside is thinking.

Moreover, there are not many generals that Yuan Shu can use now, and the only one left, Liu Xun, has been sent to the south to resist Sun Ce, and he is also in jeopardy, unable to fight alone.

Now that there are [-] troops in the sky, they dare not go north to fight Xuzhou, even Xiaopei dare not go. After all, Liu Bei still occupies four counties and is eyeing him.

Just crazy.

The more peaceful and stable Xia Pi is, the more afraid Yuan Shu will be.

He already knew that Xi Yu was coming, but he didn't know where Cao Cao was.

If Cao Cao's army was behind him and he went to attack Xiapi by himself, big trouble would happen once he attacked.

So froze.

Instead, let Xi Yu live life happily.

Those young scholars who came to participate in the Yuedan Review, including Chen Deng who was invited, felt their brains buzzing.

Because he didn't know the characters Xu Jing and Xu Shao were criticizing!

I don't know a single one!
A total of thirteen characters were judged!They are all people in Xuzhou who are helpful to agriculture, water conservancy, commerce and construction, and medicine.

And Xi Yu invited a few people who are extremely famous in the world to sit in the town. He said that they were called "judges" to echo the characters Xu Jing mentioned.

All of a sudden, the humble scholars boiled!

Because these people are all from humble beginnings!Some even came from farmers!I just read a little book, the so-called farming strategy is a theory written by years of experience!

It actually got a review!Therefore, to examine his filial piety, if it is appropriate, Mr. Xi will recruit him under his command and arrange him as the county magistrate!
The prefect is to select those among the nobles who have not expressed their attitude, and beat them secretly.

In this way, there is only one prefect of Guangling, which is difficult to determine. Once determined, basically all official positions are considered candidates.

This sends out a signal!

Chen Deng was stunned on the spot when he commented on Yuedan, feeling like he had fallen into an ice cave.

I was cheated!People are not vindictive!
He thought that Xi Yu was trying to suppress their gentry for the sake of fighting spirit.

I didn't expect such an arrangement to be made!

This is to force these scholars to death! !
The key is that these judges...

There is something!

The genius doctor Hua Tuo, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, the great Han Wei general Dian Wei, the chief minister and Xuzhou Mu Xiyu, as well as the filial and honest celebrity Jia Xu, and the famous scholar Guo Jia, all followed Xi Yu and made great contributions.

Especially Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, whose medical skills have been passed down into myths, and their reputations are extremely high.

As a result, at this time, Chen Deng was suffering from angina.

Xu Jing also announced another thing.

"Everyone, this is the nearest famous person in Xuzhou, Mr. Xi Yuxi, my master, intends to run a school in Xuzhou, respecting the school, these people can be teachers, or become county officials, but they must follow their own director , Submit a policy, and those who pass it will be eligible to enter Xuzhou's official position, and the merits will be settled every quarter."

"In addition, Xu Shao and I have a review of the world's celebrities, hermits, and retired masters, including the previous evaluation of Mr. Chen Deng's achievements, but only contributors can get a look. Now Xuzhou A lot of waste is waiting to be done, so there are many ways to make contributions, if you want to see, you can contribute one or two."

Xu Jing's words immediately caused an uproar.

The faces of Chen Deng, Chen Gui and his son changed drastically!I froze.

This, isn't this collecting money? !

You actually start charging for your reviews? !
Why do you want to charge money, don't you want your old face? !

What's the contribution!Contributing ass, contributing, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, isn't this just asking for money? !

No!I won't even give it to death!

Even if I, Chen Deng, die on the spot, die outside!Jump from here!Absolutely not! !
Chen Gui said: "Son, why don't you just buy a copy and have a look. What is said in this silk book may include your merits, and you can invest elsewhere in the future. We have a bottom line in our hearts."

Chen Deng put away the anger in his heart and nodded, "It makes sense, everything is according to my father's will."

……

They finally spent thousands of dollars to buy it, which can be said to be one of the few reserves in the family's possession. With this, all the people came to Chen Deng's mansion to have a look.

A thousand pieces of gold are not too much, and if you say less, there are not many. After all, there are not many currencies that can be effective. The effectiveness of the five baht coin is now declining, and it is difficult to estimate the price of silk and some precious ancient products.

As a result, gold and silver have become connected. In short, in troubled times, the currency of transactions still depends on the overall situation in a territory.

This daughter naturally fell into Xi Yu's pocket.

Although Chen Deng, Chen Gui and the others were so angry, they were helpless.

Who made the two brothers Xu Jing and Xu Shao so famous!
The comments they made on the first day of the month are really not covered.

……

At the same time, the news of selling secret reviews through "contribution" also spread, and it spread like wildfire almost overnight, and the adults in the nearby cities and territories all received such news.

I feel very excited.

They also want to see it.

If there are celebrities in one's own territory, maybe you can recruit them and make contributions, and the rewards in the future will not be more than a thousand dollars.

So they all sent people to Xiapi, Xuzhou.

Such days lasted for a long time, and some wealthy businessmen were willing to look at young talents from all over the country, so they also spent money.

Having made so-called "contributions", even officials from Jingzhou are willing to spend money to buy them.

At this moment, Cao Cao, who was on the way, heard the news of Yuedan Ping, and also sent Li Dian to Xuzhou alone to ask for a copy.

Li Dian was unhappy when he came back.

"What's wrong? Didn't get it?"

Cao Cao asked in the car, he was only three or four days away from Xiapi in Xuzhou, and now he knew that the battle ahead was not that urgent.

Moreover, after the emperor's edict was issued, princes from all over the country have already begun to take action.

Moreover, the tiger and leopard riders were brought back to Xuchang from the north, and returned to a nearby camp. After a few days of rest, they will set off again for Yuan Shu's land.

At that time, they will follow the trend and attack from three sides, and they will definitely kill Yuan Shu's head!
"I didn't get it! That guy Dian Wei is guarding the gate!!"

Li Dian suddenly had a bitter look on his face.

Cao Cao thought of Dian Wei's majesty and loyalty, and suddenly laughed.

"Impossible! What does this have to do with Fengyi?"

After Cao Cao finished laughing, he thought for a moment, "Could it be that Feng Yi is leading behind the scenes?"

Li Dian's face was full of bitterness, and he said unwillingly: "I don't know, anyway, he said, if you don't have a daughter, you have to make some contributions. If you don't have anything, do you really think that famous people in the world are willing to let poor people see?"

Poor...

This……

"I really don't know where this fellow learned the vocabulary from."

Cao Cao was also stunned after hearing this. It seems that Fengyi is doing well in Xuzhou. Xu Jing and Xu Shao are already "everyone".

"Okay, you go to the military supply office and get three thousand gold, thirty thousand shi of grain, and a hundred feet of silk. Ask Dianwei for a silk book and let me have a look."

"Hey, good!"

Li Dian was all smiles, he went to collect the money with his soldiers and horses, and then went to Xuzhou after receiving the money, Dian Wei, that fellow, is simply too deceitful! !
……

Zhuge Liang, who followed Xi Yu from Xuzhou, also almost entered the city. In the name of returning home to visit his ancestors, he entered Xiapi City. Although martial law was imposed during the war, the guards here were relatively friendly.

It didn't make things difficult for them.

"Brother, what do you think these people are doing in such a hurry?"

"I don't know. I recently heard that brothers Xu Shao and Xu Jing have come to seek refuge with Lord Xi, and opened Yuedan Ping a few days ago. It should be because of this. With celebrities included, Master Xi's reputation can almost stabilize the city of Xiapi. situation."

"What's so interesting about this! It doesn't even have my brother's name!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Of course there won't be."

Since he entered Xuzhou, he has never been an official, and he has never communicated with others. What's more, he just studied many books at home before. It would be a pity if the man did not take a look at his hometown when he brought it home.

"Brother! But if there is no one! This month's review will not look good."

At this moment.

A scholar hurried past.

There was something plausible in his mouth, "Zhuge Liang in Nanyang, Pang Tong in Xiangyang, are these two famous?"

"No fame, why did it appear on the silk script? Are you sure you read it right?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Impossible, we've never heard of it."

The two hurried past.

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded, and the little book boy Zhuge Yi was also dumbfounded.

"Yi'er!" Zhuge Liang angrily scolded, "Did you secretly tell people that I have great talents and learning behind my back? I have a photographic memory and draw inferences?!"

The little bookboy Zhuge Yi immediately bowed deeply, frightened to death, "No!! I definitely don't!! At most, I said a word or two when arguing with other bookboys!"

The character of the little book boy is timid and fearful, but he also likes to flatter. When he is called out like this, he is immediately frightened. Don't let yourself go!

Never! !Eat and drink with my elder brother, if I am dismissed, I don't know where to go!
Zhuge Liang pointed at him, with grief and indignation, "Oh! I wanted to be quiet and work hard in Nanyang! Gou Quan lived in troubled times and didn't want to be known to the princes, but you..."

"Brother, isn't this "Teacher's List" written by the drama master?"

"Can't I borrow it?!"

Zhuge Liang's heart was blocked for a moment. The more he read this sentence, the more comfortable he became. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was talking about himself!
"I really didn't say that!! Brother, don't smear people's innocence out of thin air!"

Zhuge Liang was arrogant for a while, and suddenly a kind of horror rose in his heart, and he became more interested in the silk script.

So I asked Zhuge Yi to ask Xu Jing and Xu Shao's brothers where they lived, and went to visit them in person. If they can get a look at the rumored silk script, maybe they will understand.

……

Soon, they arrived outside the inner city of Xiapi. Under questioning by the guards at the gate, Zhuge Liang revealed that he was from Langya and knew Lord Chen Gui in Xiapi city.

Then the guard said seriously: "Oh, Lord Chen Gui has already resigned."

They were quite admirable, so they also respected Zhuge Liang. After all, this kid is more than seven feet tall and has a great appearance. He doesn't look like an ordinary person no matter what.

"Why did you resign? Could it be that Xuzhou is difficult to stabilize..."

"Oh, that's not the case! This gentleman, Mrs. Chen Gui and Mrs. Chen Deng, are both indifferent to fame and wealth. In order to follow Mr. Xi's government and support poor families, they resisted the pressure of the gentry and resigned from office to return to their hometowns. , so he has become a commoner."

As soon as he said this, Zhuge Liang yearned for Xi Yu even more.

I see……

He grew up in Xuzhou in his early years, so he knew the criss-crossed situation in Xuzhou, and the relationship between the various forces was very clear.

Unexpectedly, the gentry class has all supported Mr. Xi?
Moreover, he is willing to give so much, which is really...unusual.

Among the mansions of Xu Jing and Xu Shao, a large part of the house was empty, and the two of them used the whole house to pile up books, and these were all books from Mr. Xi Yuxi's mansion.

There are so many more books for no reason, so the two of them are simply grateful and grateful.

And also got an official position.

Librarian.
