The next day, Yuan Shao convened all civil and military officials at the Governor's Mansion to discuss the affairs of Jizhou.
This was also the first gathering after returning from the expedition, so all the civil and military officials arrived early.
Yuan Shao, sitting on the throne of the governor, looked at the civil servants headed by Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and the military generals led by Zhao Yun and Gao Lan, standing respectfully at the foot of the steps. It can be said that there are so many talents, I am very satisfied.
Yuan Shao first punched him and expressed his gratitude by saying, "During my expedition, I have worked hard on Jizhou's affairs."
"If you are loyal to your lord and your ministers don't have to work hard, your lord is praising you," all the civil and military officials said in unison.
After some more humility to each other, we got back to business.
Yuan Shao asked, "What big things can happen in Jizhou after I leave?".
Hearing this, Chief Shi Tianfeng stood up and said, "My lord, there will be no major events during this period. It's just that the people of Luoyang have settled around Yecheng according to the lord's instructions before leaving."
Yuan Shao nodded, indicating that he understood and was very sure of Tian Feng's ability.
I was a little worried about the problem of food and grass, so I asked Zhen Yan, who was engaged in book cao.
"I wonder if there is a shortage of food and grass in Jizhou?"
Zhen Yan responded and affirmed, "Don't worry, my lord, I have enough food and grass in Jizhou, so there is no need to worry."
Hearing his assurance, Yuan Shao was very relieved, knowing that Zhen Yan would not make random promises.
Yuan Shao looked in the direction of the general and asked, "Has the army been settled down for the expedition, and Gongsun Zan's surrendered troops have also been sorted out?"
Gao Lan and Zhao Yun looked at each other. Gao Lan stepped out and replied, "My lord, arrangements have been made for the army to go out. As for the troops to surrender in Youzhou, they are still being selected and reorganized. It will take some time."
"Thank you both for your hard work. Take your time and take your time with this matter." Yuan Shao praised him and told him.
"It's my lord," the two promised and returned to the train.
Yuan Shao asked about some other things and introduced Xun Yu and Liu Ye to everyone.
Because they had just arrived, Yuan Shao could not give them a high position, so he appointed them as clerks and rewarded them based on their merits.
Xun and Yu didn't care much about this, because they firmly believed that gold would always shine, and there was no rush for official positions, it would be a matter of time.
Seeing that the report was almost done, Yuan Shao wanted to tell everyone to disperse and go about their business affairs.
But Biejia Jushou stood up and said with a somewhat serious expression, "My lord Mingjian, there is an important matter at the moment that requires my lord's decision."
Yuan Shao asked curiously, "Sir, please tell me something important."
Everyone also looked sideways and listened to Jushou's words.
Jushou said unhurriedly, "Now that Jizhou has been initially decided, the nine counties in Jizhou, except for Bohai, are all Han Fu's men. If the lord wants to rule stably, he must replace these people as soon as possible and place his cronies in place. Otherwise, if there is any trouble, , I’m afraid the foundation will be shaken.”
Tian Feng and Liu Ye nodded in agreement, and Xun Yu's eyes lit up, not expecting there to be like-minded people here.
Before Ju Shou could finish speaking, Xin Ping from the Record Office stood up and objected, "No way, Jizhou is in a certain state, how can such a big change of blood be carried out? This can easily cause chaos, and I think it is absolutely impossible."
Shen Pei, who was a bit hindsight, also reacted and supported Ju Shudao, "I think it is feasible. As the saying goes, if you are not of the same kind as me, your mind must be different."
Xin Ping, the reporter in the office, retorted, "We are all colleagues in Jizhou. How can we say that we are the same people but have different minds? This is a big fallacy."
Tian Feng couldn't stand it any longer, and he also agreed: "Emperor and ministers, survival of the fittest, is the ancient way. Zhongzhi is so opposed, must he have selfish motives?"
Xin Ping was speechless at what he said, but he was unwilling to do so and signaled with his eyes that Xu You had stepped forward to help.
Xu You understood, stood up and interjected, "Haha, everyone's words are good, but have you thought about it? There are more than 150 counties in nine counties. How many people are needed? Do we have these people?"
These words made Shenpei speechless, Tian Feng frowned, Jushou looked like he was thinking, but Xin Ping was elated, as if he had won a battle.
The military generals were never interested in these discussions among civil servants. They were all watching the show from the sidelines. Only Zhao Yun kept nodding and thinking.
Liu Ye was very supportive of replacing them, but after hearing Xu You's rebuttal, he frowned and thought hard about countermeasures.
On the other hand, Xun Yu's expression did not change from the beginning to the end, but he just smiled and said nothing. As for Guo Jia, who has been wandering around the world, he may still be immersed in yesterday's singing and dancing.
Yuan Shao had a panoramic view of everyone's discussions and expressions, and he felt like a mirror, knowing who was his confidant and who was unreliable.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Xun Yu looked confident again.
So Yuan Shao named Xun Yu and said, "I wonder what Mr. Wen Ruo thinks?"
Seeing that the lord mentioned Xun Yu, everyone's eyes focused on Xun Yu, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Seeing this, Xun Yu was not nervous and said confidently, "Mr. Jushu, what you said makes sense, and Xun Yu also thinks it is feasible."
What he said was very nutritious, and Ju Shou and others were a little disappointed.
It was Xu You who laughed and said proudly, "Did you forget my reminder, sir?".
Xun Yu smiled and said, "This matter is simple, why bother discussing it anymore."
What is simple? Everyone was paying attention this time. Yuan Shao wanted to hear his advice.
Just listen to Xun Yu's eloquent talk: "General, you must know the story of Duke Xiao of Qin's recruitment order and King Zhao of Yan's golden platform to pay homage to generals."
It turned out that the purpose was to recruit talents. Jushou and the others suddenly became enlightened after saying this, while Xu You and others lost their temper.
Sure enough, Wang Zuo's talent was not just blown away, and everyone is now taking a second look at Mr. Xun Yu.
As the one who knows his brother's abilities best, Xun Chen is not surprised at all. Only with such a performance can he be worthy of the title of Wang Zuozhi. And he stood aside from the beginning without saying a word. It seems that he is still inspecting Yuan Shao to see if Yuan Shao is worthy of his full support!
Yuan Shao was very satisfied and said, "What Mr. Wen Ruo said is true. I have a decree. Please read it. If there is no objection, let it be issued and implemented."
With that said, Yuan Fang stood up and read out the decree with his eyes.
Yuan Fang accepted the order and read out the recruitment order loudly.
Is it true that a king who has been appointed to rejuvenate the world since ancient times cannot be a wise man and a gentleman to rule the world with him?
Even if he has found a wise man, he has never left the alley. How lucky is he to meet him? Those who are above seek to obtain the ear. Today's world has not yet been decided, and this is the time when we are in urgent need of talents.
"Meng Gongchuo is the best for Zhao and Wei Lao, but not for Teng and Xue."
If only honest men can be used later, how can Qi Huanqi dominate the world?
Is there anyone who catches the brown jade in Weibin today? Is it possible that there is no robber sister-in-law who receives money without encountering an ignorant person?
The second and third sons, their assistants, are plain and humble, but only their talents can be used, so I can use them.
It turns out that my lord has already planned to recruit talents based on their talents.
"My lord is a great talent, I can't wait"
Everyone understood instantly, and they all agreed and praised.
When Yuan Shao saw that everyone had no objections, he interrupted the meeting and asked Yuan Fang to arrange people to spread the recruitment order to all parts of the country.
The desire to admire talented people and the wide acceptance of kind-hearted people, this broad-mindedness and this method, blows a breath of fresh air into the dirty society where people can't distinguish between human beings and monsters, and allows talented people who want to take revenge on the world to see a glimmer of hope.
As a result, capable people from all walks of life gathered in Jizhou one after another, preparing to show their talents and fight. From this, the Yuan family began to take the lead over other princes, and its talent advantage is something that will be discussed later.
