Chapter 143: Transforming the Pure Literati
The next day.
Zhu Li held a banquet for guests in the living room of the governor's mansion.
A total of four people were sent to invite Jing Hao from Liuyao Study School, Xu Tang from Dongting School, Zhang Qiao from Qiuxi Wenyuan, and Mr. Xin from Jixia Academy.
Among the four, Jing Hao, Xu Tang and Zhang Qiao came happily, but the mysterious Mr. Xin refused to be in a state of discomfort and did not come to the banquet.
At the banquet, Zhu Li sat on the upper head, Ning'er's little lady sat on his right, and the slug Zhu Yi twitched and tugged, widened her clear eyes, and pretended to sit on Zhu Li's left.
This was not Zhu Li's arrangement, but the two little guys had to follow him.
The three siblings appeared together, and there were also Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, and Yan Keke asked the three noble men to accompany him, which was already the highest-level banquet in Shuozhou.
After each other politely sat down, Zhu Li stood up, raised the bottle and looked at Jing Hao and the other two, and said suddenly: "You are all the great men today. Today, when you are here in the humble house, Zhu was very happy. He only expressed his respect for a bottle of wine."
"You are polite. I have been here in Shuozhou for many years. Now I am lucky to be able to talk to you with you. I am just as happy as Jing." Jing Hao quickly got up and raised his bottle and made some polite decisions.
"So is the same." Xu Tang stood up and raised the bottle.
"Zhang is ashamed." Zhang Qiao also stood up and said to the distance.
After everyone drank a cup, Zhu Li said straight: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that ten years of hard work, goods and imperial families are in power, now eunuchs are in power, saints do not ring, wolf smoke rises everywhere, and monsters are everywhere, resulting in countless wise men in the world who are full of knowledge but have no way to succeed."
"Zhu is not talented, and is willing to protect the people with meager strength. However, in the next public, he is not famous in the scholars and clans, and does not favor the wise and wise. He is hardworking and has little power and wisdom. He is eager to give advice. He sincerely invites three of you today, just to invite three of you to come out and help him do something practical for the elders of Heshuo. I wonder what the three of you mean?"
When Jing Hao and the other three heard this, they looked at each other and were invited by Zhu Li to know Zhu Li's intention. Now they are willing to come, and they all have the ambition and character of the governor.
But before they could speak out, Zhu Li directly threw out an olive branch to them. This sudden scene completely disrupted their plans and plans.
After all, the three of them were all contemporary talents. After a moment of pondering, Xu Tang took the initiative to bow and said, "'The chapters are not economic, and it will never be able to move the five marquises'. Even if we have a sincere heart, we are afraid we are still powerless."
Among the three, Xu Tang encountered the most walls. Most others appreciated his talent, but were dissatisfied with his ability to do practical things. Therefore, the highest official Xu Tang had ever been in history was Yifang County Captain.
Whether it is Xu Tang or Zhang Qiao, both of them are great poets who have been remembered for generations, but no matter how well the poem is written, it cannot contribute to the country and the world. What's the use?
"Haha." Zhu Li laughed and said with a loud laugh: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Mengde once said: An old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for a thousand miles; a martyr has ambitions in his old age."
"Brother Xu and Brother Zhang also have the intention to serve the country with a sincere heart. He is also very talented and has a strong foundation. Zhu can first trust one county. As long as two people manage it with great care and achieve success, Zhu will never be stingy and must entrust one state to the other. That's good?"
Although Zhu Li knew Xu Tang very well, in later generations, Xu Tang's works either relieved their worries or worry about the country and the people, such as "There is a way out of the sky, so there is no cause." This also expresses the pain of his willingness to serve the country but not being able to get the path.
Zhu Li, who came from later generations, always believed in a word, be willing to work hard, even if the final result is not as good as you thought, it will never be too bad. Since Xu Tang is willing, Zhu Li will give it to him.
Platform, see how far he can do it.
Zhu Li is willing to rest assured that he is a big or small because both Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao are capable of supporting the building. With these two people, he is not afraid of these two people failing.
Zhang Qiao and Xu Tang are different. Xu Tang is now thirty-four or five years old, and it is the time when he is young and strong. As long as he is willing to make progress, he will eventually become the governor of a state, and even become a general and a prime minister will not be a problem.
Zhang Qiao is now almost aware of his destiny, and he has done the Jingzhao Prefecture Examination. Not to mention anything else, just talking about education, this person must be a good person. Even if he is not a good county magistrate, Zhu Li can still let him come back and select talents for Yunshuo.
Moreover, this person longs for peace in the world. Anyone like this is at least not a bad person. What's the problem if he wants to be a county magistrate first?
Zhu Li said this and the meaning is very obvious. I offer you opportunities with both hands. The extent to which you can do depends on your ability.
Moreover, the two of them came today with the intention of having any choice. How could they miss such an opportunity? Naturally, they agreed naturally.
When they saw the two agreed, Zhu Li was not vague and immediately appointed Xu Tang as the county magistrate of Wutai County, Xinzhou, and Zhang Qiao as the county magistrate of Yangqu County, Lanzhou, and he could take office on a date.
Xu Tang and Zhang Qiao's matter was resolved, and Zhu Li's eyes looked at Jing Hao.
In fact, Zhu Li was very conflicted in his heart whether to let Jing Hao become an official. If this artist was a famous painter in later generations, would it affect his creation? But if Jing Hao became an official, he could achieve something and benefit the people, it should be even more amazing than being a painter.
Seeing Zhu Li looking at him, Jing Hao bowed and said, "If you let me be the county magistrate, Jing will naturally be willing, but Jing has a reluctant request."
When he saw that Jing Hao did not refuse, Zhu Li was overjoyed and said politely: "Sir, please tell me if you have any difficulties."
Jing Hao looked at Xu Tang, then turned his head, looked at Zhu Li again, bowed and said, "Can you please let Wutai County Magistrate take charge? Can you change your position as Brother Xu to serve in another place?"
As soon as this statement came out, the others here might be very confused, but Zhu Li instantly understood the other party’s thoughts. Landscape paintings, where there are mountains and water is the place that Jing Hao yearns for the most.
Wutai Mountain is located in Wutai County and is affiliated to the Taihang Mountains.
Obviously, in Jing Hao's heart, he was very happy to be blessed, but he did not intend to lose his painting hobby.
"Okay, I have no problem here, Brother Xu, are you looking?" Zhu Li responded readily, then looked at Xu Tang again.
Xu Tang naturally didn't care and bowed, saying, "Everything is the master of the envoy, and no matter where his subordinates are, they will do their best."
"Okay." Zhu Li was very happy when she heard this, and then said, "Then let Brother Jing be appointed as the magistrate of Wutai County, and Brother Xu be appointed as the magistrate of Huairen County."
Huairen County is affiliated to Yunzhou.
"No" and the other two agreed to the promise. Once they agreed, their identity was not a teacher, but a county magistrate, and naturally became Zhu Li's command.
Zhu Li divided the three people into the jurisdiction of the three states, and the intention was self-evident. The governors of Yunzhou, Xinzhou and Lanzhou are now nominally Guo Chongtao, which is equivalent to being empty. As long as the three of them do well, they are the governors. I believe the three of them are very clear about this.
Zhu Li’s expectations for them were not the magistrate of a county, but at least the governor of a state.
Everything was perfect, everyone was drinking happily, and the banquet was very lively. Except for Zhu Li and the three brothers and sisters, all of them were celebrities, but just a moment of hard work.
Beautiful sentences come out among each other, with witty words, and cheering.
Although the position of county magistrate belongs to the seventh rank, it is also a well-known local figure. Only when he becomes a county magistrate can he be considered a level. Among the three, Jing Hao was born in a family of scholars and officials, but he had never been to the official position. As soon as he became an official, he was naturally happy.
After the banquet, after seeing off the three great talents, Zhu Ning'er and Zhu Ning'er turned back to the inner courtyard with his full and full Zhu Qi's drink, Zhu Li smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "If someone else had taken charge of such a large territory, he wouldn't have to worry about a county magistrate at all. Why did I have to make up my mind and even transform the painters and poets into county magistrates?"
"Oh, fortunately, they agreed. If they don't agree, they will be helpless."
Looking at Zhu Li's bitter look, Guo Chongtao comforted him: "You don't have to worry. With the development momentum of Shuozhou education, we will not lack the county magistrate's level talents within a few years."
This sentence is not only a comfort, but also a confidence. Guo Chongtao also cared about education. He is afraid that when and what kind of people are enough.
"Yes, Dai Shuo is fine. If the envoy arrives at Hetao and sees Wang Jing's busy appearance, he will feel that our side is not too tight." Guo Qizuo agreed, pointing his slurred slurred, as if he was unintentional, but actually woke up.
When Zhu Li heard this, she remembered Wang Jing. That guy was remotely controlled by the Qizhou. Although he was not very good at taking care of small matters, how could civil affairs be less in the Qizhou? I am not exhausted now, and it is already a blessing to invite heaven.
Thinking of this, Zhu Li naturally looked at Yan Keqiu and said with a look of Qi Yi: "Mr. Yan, it's a must. You may have to trouble you. Someone must go to Hetao, otherwise Wang Jing would not be able to withstand such trouble even if he was hit by iron."
"Just give me the order, my subordinates dare not obey orders." Yan Keqiu took the initiative. He followed Zhu Li to Shuozhou, and was here to serve. How could he be afraid of doing things?
"Okay, Wang Jing is in charge of Xiazhou and is in charge of the seven Hetao prefectures. I want Mr. Yan to be in charge of the internal affairs of Ling, You and Yan states, and help Wang Jing share the burden. Is it okay?" Zhu Li looked at Yan Keqiu with a consultation face.
"No" Yan Keqiu quickly bowed his hand to answer his order.
"Now Meng Juehai is in charge of Youzhou, Wang Chongyin comes out to guard Yanzhou, and Cao Shixiong guards Lingzhou. All three of them are surrendered generals of the Cao army and know very little about government affairs. I appointed my husband as the three states of Youling Yan. Not only do I control the three states, but also control the three people. The important military and political affairs can be decided in one word." Zhu Li looked at Yan Keqiu solemnly and said seriously.
The military and political efforts are all in charge. This is definitely the first case in the area controlled by Zhu Li. It can be seen how much Zhu Li recognized Yan Keqiu's ability and how much trust he trusted. Now, many Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty do not have such power, right?
Yan Keqiu heard this and bowed with a solemn look on his face, "Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely not let you down."
"Okay, I will send Shi Yan to lead 6,000 guards, directly under your command, and go to Hetao together." Zhu Li decided resolutely.
Meng Juehai, Cao Shixiong, and Wang Chongyin. Although Zhu Li was relieved, he believed that they would not betray him. Yan Keqiu was different. They were not as convinced as Zhu Li. They were suddenly pressed on their heads by a civil servant and were afraid that they would not accept it.
