Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 83: Zhang Li [Seeking Red]

"I'll go with Zhiyuan." Zhang Zirong said lightly.

Jia Rong's face brightened, "It would be great to have brother Zirong to accompany me, but brother Zirong is tired from a long distance, so I'd better take a rest." Looking at the expression on Zhang Zirong's face, Jia Rong said wearily.

Zhang Zirong rejected Jia Rong's kindness, and resolutely followed Jia Rong to the Zhaoxian Hall of the Taishou Mansion. His purpose of coming was to see this recruiting hall that attracted the attention of the scholars.

The number of people who came to Zhaoxian Hall today is more than one or two more than yesterday. It seems that those people did a lot of publicity when they went back yesterday.

The first person to come in was a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes. Instead of being polite, he shouted, "Where is the eunuch?"

The guards behind Jia Rong are not good men and women, they are all battle-tested soldiers. Seeing that the scribes were so rude to Jia Rong, they all glared at each other. If Jia Rong hadn't ordered them to be honest in the recruiting hall, they might Go up early and beat this poor scribe to death.

Jia Rong felt displeased, even if you are talented, you have to be polite to yourself. Anyway, you are also a big man and prefect, so he snorted coldly, greeted Zhang Zirong for tea, and left the poor scholar there to kill his vigor.

Seeing Zhang Zirong's reluctance to speak, Jia Rong smiled and said, "Brother Zirong, just say what you want, why are you and I so polite?"

Zhang Zirong put down the teacup in his hand, and cast his eyes on the shabby scholar, "Are you good at governing local people or are you good at governing officials?"

The shabby scribe straightened his face, and said, "Everyone is competent." The shabby scribe's expression clearly revealed a strong sense of self-confidence.

The arrogance of a talented person is indeed not fake, just look at the person in front of you, you can tell, either this person is a talented person with a strategy in mind, or he is just pretending to be a fool.

Zhang Zirong waved his hand to stop Jia Rong who was about to ask questions, "If you are the magistrate of a county, how should you manage it?" Zhang Zirong asked after him.

The shabby scribes said confidently: "An official should implement benevolent government so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. An official should be fair and honest, severely punish small bullies, so that the people can feel the majesty of the emperor's grace, and make our country immortal forever."

Zhang Zirong nodded approvingly, and signaled the shabby scribe to continue.

Listening to a lot of people talking about each other, and there is a posture of getting more and more excited as they talk, Jia Rong feels overwhelmed. There is no way to refute what his father said on paper, but when he went to the battlefield, he was defeated. Being able to speak well can only show that you are knowledgeable, but being able to do practical things shows that a person is capable. Things have to be said and said vigorously, as if afraid that others will not understand, it seems that I should set up a Lei Feng of the Han Dynasty.

Impatiently interrupting the conversation between the two, "What's your name?" Jia Rong asked coldly.

The shabby literati were very dissatisfied with Jia Rong interrupting his conversation with Zhang Zirong. Naturally, when a well-educated scholar meets, he wants to talk at night by candlelight and chat freely. However, Jia Rong is the prefect, so he can't be too presumptuous. Greetings to the prefect." He casually bowed his hands to Jia Rong.

Since it is recruiting talents, it is natural to show a broad mind, "Well, Li Shangye, what position did you hold before?"

Li Shang said embarrassingly, "I'm at home." Obviously, he was quite embarrassed that he didn't have any fame.

"So you haven't done any of the strategies for governing the region you mentioned just now?" Jia Rong said in a questioning tone.

"Yes." The scribe replied truthfully.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Do you know Zhao Kuo?"

After hearing this, Li Shang was furious: "My lord, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm just a general talker? My lord is just a warrior who knows how to govern the country?" Touched the bottom line, even if the person in front of him is Sangong Li Shang also dared to get angry, and scolded Jia Rong instead.

Jia Rong smiled meaningfully, "Oh, I said Zhao Kuo just to explain a truth, did Zhao Kuo know before going to the battlefield that he was just a man of paper, and no one can make rash judgments without practice, just like Zhao Kuo , lost hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhao State, let the world fully understand what kind of person he is, and practice true knowledge!"

Li Shang prides himself on being a well-learned man, knowing that Jia Rong's words are correct, but he still can't hold back his face, but Jia Rong's phrase "True knowledge comes from practice" has touched him a lot, and he has never heard such a sentence together. Speech, coldly snorted and no longer speak.full text..

After Zhang Zirong listened to Jia Rong's words, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, especially Jia Rong's sentence that true knowledge comes from practice, which touched him a lot. Not too much, when I first met Jia Rong, I saw that this person was extraordinary, and it was true.

Jia Rong patted Li Shang on the shoulder "magnanimously" and said, "I agree with what you said. I want you to be the county magistrate of Lingzhou. What do you think?"

Li Shang showed embarrassment, he didn't expect Jia Rong to praise him in turn, he knelt on one knee and said, "Li Shang would like to obey the order of the prefect!"

However, this prefect also doesn't want to use the people under his command as your experimental products. If any of their people complain that you are unfair, even if you go to the ends of the world, this prefect will definitely take your head.Jia Rong almost growled.

Jia Rong is a battle-tested general, even standing there he has a murderous aura, not to mention now, Li Shang took a step back in fright, his face turned pale. Unexpectedly, Jia Rong, who was still in harmony just now, suddenly changed his face.

Jia Rong saw that the effect had been achieved, and said slowly: "Lingzhou has just gone through a war, and the people's livelihood is in decline. When I go to Lingzhou this time, I must appease the people, encourage farming, restore official governance, and implement more benevolent government. If the people are rich, the country will be strong."

"You must do your best in a lowly position to repay your kindness!" Li Shang saluted from the bottom of his heart.

Jia Rong was very depressed why the ancients opened their mouths and kept their mouths open and closed for the kindness of knowing you, "You are not doing it to repay my kindness of knowing you, but for the people of Lingzhou. After one year, the performance evaluation will be carried out. Those who have outstanding performance will be continuously promoted. , the reputation among the common people is not good, and once verified, they will be severely punished! The principle of this prefect has always been to reward those who make meritorious deeds, and punish those who have done wrong."

"Humble job!" Jia Rong's words subdued Li Shang's words, you are for the people of the big man, not for me; at the same time, the big cake that Jia Rong drew for him is very attractive to him , As long as the political achievements are outstanding, they will be continuously promoted.

The kindness of knowledge and encounter, Jia Rong came from modern times and naturally did not understand the sufferings of the Han people. If talented people are not appreciated, they may be buried for a lifetime, and their talents will die with death.

Zhang Zirong was very surprised that Li Shang, who was blowing his beard and staring at Jia Rong just now, obeyed Jia Rong's orders in the blink of an eye. Even he was afraid of Jia Rong's sudden burst of momentum just now. , Looking at Jia Rong is also full of doubts.

Looking at Li Shang who was prostrate at his feet, most of the aggrieved Jia Rong felt relieved, he helped Li Shang up and said: "When you go to Lingzhou, you must remember the sentence "for the welfare of the people", but there are obstacles Now, I will punish you severely, and I will inform Li Shun in Lingzhou City to fully cooperate with you, and don't disappoint my high hopes for you."

"For the welfare of the people, for the welfare of the people..." Li Shang and Zhang Zirong murmured.

A gleam flashed in Zhang Zirong's eyes. Isn't this his own pursuit? Unexpectedly, it was summed up by Jia Rong's phrase "for the benefit of the people".

Li Shang's eyes were full of admiration, and he regretted that he called Jia Rong a warrior who was incapable of governing the country. "Ashamed of my humble position, I must do my best to work for the welfare of the people!" Li Shang is also a child of ordinary people, and he admires Jia Rong even more. This kind of good official who is willing to do things for the people.

Since then, Li Shang has completely approved Jia Rong in his heart. Whenever the literati and Confucian of the Great Han discuss state affairs and politics, he keeps his mouth shut for the sake of the great Han society. Jia Rong's sentence "for the benefit of the people" refute their remarks to the ground; Since then, Li Shang has devoted his whole life to Jia Rong's words, always thinking about the people, and Jia Rong's words have become Li Shang's motto, always inspiring him.

And Jia Rong's phrase "for the benefit of the people" became the banner of Beidi County's recruiting hall, reminding the officials of Beidi County of their responsibilities at all times, and also made the people of Beidi County follow Jia Rong wholeheartedly. Something else.

Obviously, Li Shang still had a good impression of Zhang Zirong. Before leaving, he asked Zhang Zirong for his name. Only then did Jia Rong realize that Zhang Zirong's name was Zhang Li. There are still characters in people's surnames.

Afterwards, Jia Rong saw Zhang Li's demeanor, and placed the remaining talents who came to the Zhaoxian Hall in their respective positions. Obviously, he was very clear about the structure of the prefect's mansion. Wait, just say it.

Seeing Jia Rong's stunned expression, Zhang Li's tired face showed a trace of satisfaction, "What's the matter, Brother Zhiyuan."

Jia Rong wiped his eyes, and said blankly: "You didn't grow up in the prefect's mansion? Why are you so familiar with the prefect's mansion?" Jia Rong found that Zhang Li in front of him was becoming more and more unfathomable.

"Haha, what I studied in Yingchuan Academy is how to govern the internal affairs, what do you say I don't know how to do this?" Zhang Li said with a smile.

Jia Rong pulled Zhang Li's hand excitedly and asked, "Yingchuan Academy?"

Zhang Li nodded, resisting the pain Jia Rong brought to him.

It seems that all the good things happened to me recently. First, I confusedly captured Li Wenhou, the commander of the Qiang people, and made him submit to me. Then I became the prefect of Beidi County. Then I met my old friend Zhang Li. What excited Zhang Li was that he came from Yingchuan Academy, which is even more amazing than Tsinghua University and Peking University in later generations.
