After listening to Murong Xianyue's words, Yang Ji suspected that he was hallucinating, frowned and asked: "Chuchen, do you know Li Jing?"
He didn't know what the hell Su Quan was; but Li Jing, the King of Tota, was not only the leading actor in "Hongfu Night Run", but also Nezha's father.
This guy didn't go to Yang Su's house to seduce an unmarried girl, nor did he make Nezha at home. He actually came to his own house. Could it be that "Hong Fu" Zhang Chuchen's own charming attributes attracted Li Jing?
"I don't know!" Zhang Chuchen shook his head decisively.
Yang Ji found that the problem was not simple: "It shouldn't be!"
"What shouldn't happen?" Zhang Chuchen was very surprised. She really didn't know Li Jing.
"It stands to reason that you are Li Jing's wife, and you have given birth to three sons, Jin Zha, Muzha, and Nezha." Yang Ji pointed at her belly and said, "Especially that Nezha, who has been in your belly for three years. Year."
Zhang Chuchen was greatly embarrassed and said with a red face: "Young Master is talking nonsense."
"Just kidding." Yang Ji smiled and walked out the door.
He probably understood what was going on.
Before the advent of the imperial examination system, local levels recommended talents to the central government, or officials directly recommended talents to the emperor. Although the people they recommended were all children of aristocratic families, they also looked at reputation first and talent second. Otherwise, why would Zhuge Liang be in Jingzhou in the first place? Are you working hard on the name 'Wolong'?
Once he becomes famous enough, he can overwhelm his competitors. Everyone thinks that he is a "Wolong" who has both talent and virtue and is indifferent to fame and fortune, so it is natural for him to be in a high position. No one will say that he is "unworthy of his virtue". On the other hand, if you are unknown, even if you are extremely talented, others will think you are mediocre.
The aristocratic family has enough resources and platform to spread the reputation of its children far and wide, but the children from poor families do not have such natural conditions.
What should a young man from a poor family who is talented but has no backing, or whose backing is not strong enough, want to become an official?
They often try to participate in some banquets, cultural gatherings, and poetry gatherings, and then make surprising remarks to attract the attention of the attendees.
Li Jing in history made a splash at Yang Su's banquet, causing Niu Hong to praise him for his "talent as a king's assistant." Yang Su also patted the couch and said to him, "You should sit in my position." Because of this, not only did Li Jing become famous in the aristocratic circle of the Sui Dynasty, but he also became a member of the "Red Fu" Zhang Chuchen.
However, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan eventually rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, causing Yang Su to admire Li Jing. He remained depressed in the Sui Dynasty.
This time, Li Jing probably also made a name for himself in Yang Su's mansion. Yang Su, who admired him, might not be willing to let him be buried like this. Seeing that he didn't have any staff available, he recommended him here.
Not long after Yang Ji arrived at the living room, Li Daliang, who served as a guard in the mansion, invited Su Dan and Li Jing in.
"Li Jing, who holds a humble position, meets His Highness King Wei!"
"Su Dan, a humble official, meets His Highness the King of Wei!"
"No need to be polite, please take a seat." Yang Ji nodded slightly. Although he wanted to collect famous ministers and generals, he had met many celebrities, and even Yang Jian and Yang Guang were his relatives, so he was not too excited about Li Jing's arrival. .
However, his eyes were looking at the two of them, of course mainly observing Li Jing. He had no idea who Su Dan was.
Those who have never heard of it must not have much ability. Otherwise, with the status of Su Wei and Sun Tzu, how could Su Dan not have a chance to become famous?
This is also Yang Ji's most powerful golden finger, his biggest reliance. As long as he recognizes and hires people based on his own memory, he will make no mistakes nine times out of ten. It doesn't really matter whether he has the ability or not.
It is true that some talented people have not been famous in history because they did not get the opportunity to stand out, but if all the famous people are caught in one fell swoop, won't everyone be able to defeat a few unknown people?
As for his own abilities, Yang Ji never expected that he would be better at leading troops than Yang Su and Li Jing, better at running the country than Yang Jian and Yang Guang, and better than money. He can win over people; let alone expect that he, who has never even seen a real gun, can make pistols and artillery... As for gunpowder, that is an international joke. After all, he did not intend to rebel in his previous life, who the hell would pay attention to this thing? Instead of asking him how to prepare gunpowder, it is better to go to a native Taoist priest.
This is not Yang Ji's self-deprecation, but the self-knowledge that a normal person must possess.
The only thing that is useful, apart from the poems that can only be used to deceive my fiancée, and the common sense that I was familiar with in my previous life, may be the deceptive skills I learned from luring my cousin into a pyramid scheme/organization, but this deceiving eloquence It seems not as good as the status of "King Wei" and the money I earn.
No, even the military god Li Jing came here for this identity?
Li Jing, who is about thirty years old, is tall and handsome, with dark skin and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows flying into his temples. He stands steadily, giving people a sense of calmness and heaviness. Looking at him, he is a calm man. A down to earth person.
A handsome and talented man would be liked by girls in every dynasty. Li Jing is so good-looking, no wonder the Red Fu heroine in history sent him there overnight.
Compared with the handsome guy Li, Su Dan, who is young and unknown, looks thinner, but his appearance is not bad, and when he saluted, Yang Ji found that his tiger's mouth was also covered with calluses, and he looked like he was practicing hard. People with martial arts skills, even if they are not very capable, are not playboys who only know how to 'take the back door'.
Seeing that Li Jing didn't express anything, Su Dan thought for a moment, took out a letter, bowed again, and said humbly: "Your Highness, our ancestors saw that Beizhong had made some achievements in school, so he specially asked Beizhong to train under His Highness. This is what he gave me. Please read your letter."
When Li Jing saw Li Daliang coming forward to receive the letter, he also said: "I have a letter to submit for my humble duty, please read it to Your Highness."
Yang Ji unfolded the two letters and read them roughly.
Li Jing's letter of recommendation was written by Yang Su himself, and it was written for him in official script with great momentum and majesty. The content of the letter was also very military in style. There were no polite words. He just said that Li Jing was a strong martial artist and a capable commander. He could not bear to let Li Jing waste his good years in the capital, but he also emphasized that he should not receive any special treatment, but should only give him a fair chance. , if he is a talkative person, Yang Ji can handle it by himself, and it doesn't matter if he is killed according to the art of war.
Although Yang Su seemed to be very harsh, Yang Ji understood that this was his trust in Li Jing's ability. He believed that Li Jing could rise strongly as long as he had the chance.
The content of Su Wei's letter was colorful and gorgeous. After Yang Ji skipped most of the allusions that he couldn't understand, he got to the point. In short, he recommended his grandson, but in the end he was very much the same as Yang Su. Just ask for a fair chance. If it is no longer useful, just eliminate it.
"I have read the letters of recommendation from Su Pushe and Yang Pushe. They only asked me to give you a fair opportunity to display your talents. This coincides with my employment principles. Your future positions will depend on your own abilities and have nothing to do with me. , has nothing to do with the two servants, and it has nothing to do with family background. If you can only talk on paper, or violate laws and disciplines, don't blame me for being unreasonable. "
Acceptance must be accepted. This is not only an unspoken rule in the officialdom, but also the court's way of cultivating talents. Every year, Yang Jian sends officials from Yushitai to patrol the world and severely punish corrupt officials. Once a crime is discovered, he will never condone it. And they often dig out corrupt officials in the entire state. For example, the case of the He Ruobi family affected officials from three states.
Although this move was of great benefit to the people, the result of strict rule of law was that there were not enough officials, so he asked internal and external officials to recommend talents every year. Therefore, it was not illegal for Yang Ji to accept Li Jing and Su Dan. They were close to the water and had the opportunity before others.
"I understand my humble position!" Li Jing responded with enthusiasm, confident in his ability.
Su Dan also replied, "I understand my humble position," showing that he was confident.
"Give them the self-recommendation form." Yang Ji said to Li Daliang.
The self-recommendation form is a job application form, but people these days have extremely strong self-esteem. If the word "job search" is used, some people's self-respect is hurt. The first three characters printed were "job search form", but Gongsun Huan took it to When the scribes who applied for the position of shopkeeper filled out their applications, more than half of them turned around and left.
The two of them took it and looked at it, and their eyes lit up. This concise and clear form was much less troublesome than a long explanation. The boss only needed to look at the "Specialties" column to hire based on their talents. The hired person could also It is good for everyone to do things in the field that you are good at.
People these days are relatively simple and cautious, and few people dare to write a lot of specialties to show off themselves. Li Jing thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote the word "military" in both the specialties and hobbies columns, and Su Dan did the same.
Li Daliang sent the two of them off and responded with a strange expression: "Your Highness, the entrance to our house is full of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and they are packed to the brim."
Yang Ji looked shocked and didn't believe it: "There are usually no wild dogs in the square in front of the house. How is this possible?"
"Things are not what they used to be, Your Highness." Li Daliang smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone knows that you are the saint's favorite nephew and you have a close relationship with the prince. Now that you have become an official, you are also the leader of Liangzhou who is not at war next to Yongzhou. Managers, everyone wants to join in to gain seniority. If you say a nice word in front of a saint or a prince, it will be more effective than ten years of hard work."
Yang Ji was about to say "blow everything away" when he suddenly remembered the way of being an official taught by Yang Jian and immediately changed his mind and asked, "Have you brought any gifts?"
"This is necessary!"
"Take the gifts and greetings and send them away."
"Here."
