Zuo Chuying and Zuo Guangdou settled in Lin Yanchao's office.

Lin Yanchao is now eager to seek talented people, thinking that since he could summon Zuo Guangdou, who was eleven or twelve years old, to his side.

So what about other talents? Can they also be recruited into the account?

Lin Yanchao's first thought was that the three Yuanshu of the Public Security Bureau were very close to him, highly praised his articles, and tried his best to promote his achievements in the Huguang Public Security Bureau.

At present, the public security department is almost the most prosperous place in Linxue, and it is more popular than Zhejiang, which is a place where Confucian schools are flourishing.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether San Yuan and himself are teachers and students.

Moreover, second-generation officials like them cannot come to work under the siege for money. As for their future, they can do it themselves.

The three Yuans of the Public Security Bureau passed by, and the three heroes of Huating were below.

The three heroes of Huating have no such name in history.

It was compiled by Lin Yanchao himself, referring to the three outstanding talents from Huating (now Shanghai) at that time.

They are Chen Jiru, Dong Qichang and Xu Guangqi.

Needless to say, Chen Jiru and Dong Qichang were seen at the West Lake Pretending Conference when Lin Yanchao returned home. Oh no, I saw it at the West Lake Boat Conference.

The previous misinformation made Lin Yanchao think that Dong Qichang was in the Chinese style of the exam last year, but in fact it was not.

Dong Qichang and Yuan Keli both studied under the former Minister of Rites Lu Shusheng. The two can be called brothers.

Dong Qichang and Lu Shusheng were both fellow villagers in Huating. Lu Shusheng did not actually teach Dong Qichang and Yuan Keli, but instead asked Dong Qichang to teach his son Lu Yanzhang as a teacher.

Yuan Keli was originally under Dong Qichang's disciple. Later, when Dong Qichang taught Lu Yanzhang in the fifth year of Wanli, he became a disciple of Lu Shusheng in order to gain the reputation of Lu Shusheng, and introduced Yuan Keli.

This shows how superb Dong Qichang is. He was not only Lu Yanzhang's teacher, but also nominally his fellow disciple, but also brought Yuan Keli.

Speaking of Lu Shusheng, Lin Yanchao is also a benefactor in his career.

Lu Shusheng and Lin Yanchao's master Lin Feng and his brother Lin Feng were kind to each other. Lin Yanchao offended Zhang Juzheng and almost lost his Japanese lecturer who was within his reach.

When he returned home, he visited Lu Shusheng along the way, and then Lu Shusheng came forward to plead with Zhang Juzheng and asked Zhang Juzheng to let him go.

Lu Shusheng was a person who almost entered the cabinet back then. He was just disagreeing with Feng Bao and did not complete his resignation. But despite this, Lu Shusheng was not only very energetic in the officialdom, but also Xu Jie's fellow countryman.

Zhang Juzheng was promoted by Xu Jie, so Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng can be regarded as a member of the party. The relationship between the two has always been very good. Later, Zhang Juzheng was willing to make Lin Yanchao a Japanese lecturer, mainly because of Shen Shixing's struggle, and also because of selling Lu Shusheng's face.

Moreover, even if Lu Shusheng is not in the officialdom now, his disciples and old officials are everywhere, and his younger brother Lu Shude is still serving as the governor of Shandong.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao regarded Yuan Keli as his confidant, and on the one hand, he valued his talents, and on the other hand, he also expressed his goodwill to Lu Shu and wanted to maintain a relationship.

Now Lin Yanchao proposes to Dong Qichang through Yuan Keli.

As a result, Dong Qichang refused. In his reply, Dong Qichang said that he wanted to prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind. Thanks to Lin Yanchao for his attention, and asked Lin Yanchao to stay in charge of Yuan Keli.

Lin Yanchao knew that Dong Qichang was no better than Yuan Keli. Dong Qichang now has Lu Shusheng leaning against this big tree, so he doesn't have to defect to him for the time being.

Although he did not succeed, Lin Yanchao's goal of giving out an olive branch was achieved. Lin Yanchao also gave Dong Qichang 30 taels of silver to make him prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

If Dong Qichang fails, Chen Jiru is the following.

Chen Jiru refused without surprise. Of course, the reasons behind him were more sufficient. If Dong Qichang was the teacher who Lu Shusheng asked to teach his son, then Chen Jiru was the teacher who Wang Xijue asked to teach his son Wang Heng.

Of course, nominally, neither of them dares to be called such a title. This is not the same as Lu Shusheng and Wang Xijue. With such a big seniority, should we still go to the officialdom in the future?

Compared with Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, Wang Xijue was the current prime minister, and he was undoubtedly even more awesome.

So Chen Jiru had no reason to come to join Lin Yanchao's disciple, and he also refused.

When the two refused, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel that the big guys in the officialdom had already succeeded in their careers, but they still spared no effort to recruit younger generations.

Any outstanding talent is taken to the account early. Even if you can't use it yourself, you can leave it to your son for use. This is what is called taking care of your descendants and family.

The three heroes of Huating rejected two, leaving only Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi is more famous in history than Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, and is a pragmatic person.

Now Xu Guangqi is comparing Chen Jiru and Dong Qichang, but he is not famous yet, and he has never heard of any official tycoon.

So Lin Yanchao planned to take the lead.

Lin Yanchao also wrote a letter to him, but he was still rejected.

The reason for rejection is that my parents are still there and dare not stay away.

When he was talking here, he stopped. Lin Yanchao asked about his family situation and heard that his family was very rich, but later his family was in ruins and he could only work as a farmer to make a living.

After hearing this, Lin Yanchao ordered someone to send ten taels of silver.

After receiving the money, Xu Guangqi was very frightened and came to Guide in person to meet Lin Yanchao and told him about the situation at home.

It is said that his grandmother Xu had just died of illness. Last year, his family suffered another flood and his parents reached the age of knowing destiny. The Xu family was supported by him alone, so he could not stay away from home.

Lin Yanchao listened to his explanation and knew that this person was indeed very filial, and he seemed to be unable to recruit him again.

Instead of forcing him to stay, it is better to leave a fate method, so Lin Yanchao gave him another ten taels of silver.

This money was like a timely help, which moved Xu Guangqi very much.

Xu Guangqi's ten moves refused, which completely failed Lin Yanchao's recruitment of the three heroes of Huating. So Lin Yanchao thought that instead of continuing to poach the famous people in history, it would be half the result with twice the effort.

But he didn't fight or snatch it up. Sun Chengzong, Tao Wangling, Guo Zhengyu, Yuan Keli, and Zuo Guangdou took the initiative to come to the door.

Is this understandable that it is better to cultivate talents yourself than to poach people?

When Lin Yanchao was studying, he admired Zeng Guofan very much.

Zeng Guofan had a skill in governing the police. Only Hu Zongxian could compare with his staff.

But both of them were already ranks of officials at that time, and they could not invite any talent. Although they had a reputation as a three-year master, they were only a prefect. If they really wanted to invite first-class talents like Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, it would not work.

Especially those with fame and fortune like to be the prime minister or retire as a senior official, and have a backer first. In the future, it will be much more convenient for both the Jinshi exam or the officialdom.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao should only be cultivated from people who have no fame and fortune.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao continued to recruit talents, although no famous figures came afterwards, and many of them were not fame.

But Lin Yanchao didn't care. Anyone who had a skill in water conservancy and money management was summoned to the siege.

At this moment, news came that the governor Yang Yikui asked the court to retire, and then the court sent the imperial prefect Zang Weiyi to Henan to serve as the governor of Henan for Yang Yikui.

It is not a trivial matter for the new governor to take office. As the saying goes, one person and one politics. For officials who Lin Yanchao is now trying to do big things, the most taboo thing is the personnel changes above.

If the new governor arrives and there is anything more to do about the unblocking of the Jialu River, then Lin Yanchao's political achievements will be devastated.

However, when the new governor came to office, Lin Yanchao was anxious to curry favor with him, and he would be criticized by people in the officialdom. At the same time, as the prefect, he would not easily leave the territory.

So Lin Yanchao found an excuse to inspect the Jialu River and turned to Kaifeng Prefecture.

The first thing Lin Yanchao did when he arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture was to send Yang Yikui off office first.

Lin Yanchao had a good time with Yang Yikui in the past. When it comes to Ma Yu, the two of them borrowed each other (colluded) and eliminated their own problems. It is also appropriate to send them off.

Having said that, Yang Yikui had political voices in Henan, solved many problems left by the former governor, suppressed the arrogance of the royal family, killed Ma Yu, and initially quelled the floods in Henan the previous year and flooded hundreds of miles.

However, in order to deal with the Lu Wang's vassal period last year, Yang Yikui ordered all governments to urge the people to conduct responsibilities, which indirectly led to the surge in grain prices after the beginning of spring and the people were in poverty.

So Yang Yikui was impeached several chapters by the censor of Lu Wang's party in the name of disturbing the people and helping them ineffectively.

This incident was a huge irony for Yang Yikui. Yang Yikui couldn't stand this anger, and in anger, he asked the court to resign.

Then the emperor agreed.

Therefore, when Yang Yikui left, he felt a little sad. The people blamed him, the emperor blamed him, and even Ma Yu in the nine springs blamed him.

It is also tragic to be an official to achieve this level.

After the few officials on the dock came, Yang Yikui was a little moved when Lin Yanchao arrived.

"Zonghai, I am no longer the governor of Henan. I will be no different from the people from now on. You really don't have to risk leaving the country and come to Kaifeng to see you off."

Lin Yanchao said intimidly, "Shame, who is here to give you a gift? I'm on the way."

Lin Yanchao said to himself: "Futaixu should say this. In Lin's heart, Futai will always be the governor of Henan. Even if he leaves the country, he will come to send Futai for a journey."

Yang Yikui looked sad and held Lin Yanchao's hand and said, "Zonghai is really intent. I have not misunderstood you. The road is far away and the horsepower is seen, and people's hearts are seen over time. When I was the governor, all the officials under my rule rely on their breath, but now it is the person who leaves and tea is cold. Humph."

Lin Yanchao said: "Don't worry, when today I know how to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous people. I am as loyal as Futai, there will be a comeback."

Yang Yikui nodded and said, "Thank you for Zonghai's words, you may know. Now the court has begun to investigate Li Zihua's bad debts. He is simply greedy for the He Governor. It is light to sentence an exile."

Lin Yanchao felt secretly happy, and it would be a matter of time before Li Zihua fell. Although you can flatter the emperor, you still have to have a bottom line. If you can't do your job well, nothing will be useful.

"As long as Li Zihua leaves, the court wants to use famous officials who govern the river, and count only a few more. As long as Pan Wucheng doesn't come out, when it comes to familiar with river engineering, how many officials can there be in the dynasty, the court still needs to use me. In this mess in Henan, whoever wants to take it."

Yang Yikui was also angry when he spoke. He was not as generous as the former chief officials, but as if he had suffered a grievance.

However, Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Yang Yikui seemed to have a chance to recover. This time he went to burn the cold stove, which was really the right thing to do.

After sending Yang Yikui, Lin Yanchao immediately went to the governor's office to submit a letter.

Today, many Kaifeng Prefecture officials seemed to have made an appointment with Lin Yanchao. They all came to join the new governor.

The governor has not arrived yet.

The flower hall was filled with officials, and more than 20 Kaifeng Prefecture officials were present, and Lin Yanchao's old acquaintance Chen Tongzhi was also there.

After Lin Yanchao came to Guide to become an official, he did everything he could offend Kaifeng Prefecture.
