Mrs. Sun’s method really works!
after...
I need to go to Miss Shang Xiang for advice.
Hum hum!
I want to learn every move and a half, but she, a handsome man, isn't firmly grasped by him?
Liu Chan looked at Guan Yinping who was lying down. He couldn't see Guan Yinping's face, so naturally he didn't know what she was thinking.
After walking out of the backyard, Liu Chan went straight to the study.
I originally planned to exercise.
The result is instead...
After drinking a cup of tea and eating a few snacks, Liu Chan sat in the study. At this moment, he was not distracted and his concentration was even more concentrated.
However, not long after entering the state, Fei Yi's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Mr. Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar from Miannan, want to see you."
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan?
Liu Chan was stunned.
These two are big shots!
It can be said that he is a core figure in the upper class circle of Jingzhou gentry.
"Please come in quickly, no!"
Liu Chan stood up, put on his shoes in a hurry, and walked forward quickly.
"I will go and greet you personally."
Pang Degong was Pang Tong's father. Pang Degong once called Zhuge Liang "Wolong", Pang Tong "Fengxiao", and Sima Hui "Shui Jing", and they were known as wise people. He had a great influence on Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others in their early years, and was respected by Zhuge Liang.
Those who can give people nicknames are certainly not ordinary people.
Huang Chengyan is Zhuge Liang's father-in-law and Huang Yueying's father. The son-in-law of Cai Xi, the great scholar of Nanjun County, had good relations with the upper social circles of Xiangyang celebrities: Pang Tong, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Xu Shu and others.
Huang Chengyan, Gao Shuang, is a famous scholar in Miannan!
He originally thought that he was going to visit the Jingzhou nobles, but he didn't expect them to come to visit him.
Liu Chan did not dare to neglect these two people.
When I walked outside the house in person, I saw an old man with white beard and hair and a middle-aged man with white hair in brocade clothes.
Needless to say, these are Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.
Pang Degong was thin and staggered when he walked. The wrinkles on his face were deeply engraved with the marks of time. His hair and beard had turned snow-white, having gone through many years of hard work. His eyes are deep and piercing, as if he can see through people's hearts at any time, which makes people feel a sense of awe.
His clothes are simple, but he reveals a profound cultural heritage and profound knowledge.
At this moment, there was a slight smile on his old face, and his eyes were looking at Liu Chan, making people feel that he was a calm and steady person.
"How can you, young man, bring these two masters to this point? I should be the one to visit you. Please, please quickly!"
Pang Degong stroked his long beard and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, but now that the old man meets His Highness, it is indeed the case!"
He smiled softly, and although his voice sounded old, his tone was full of vitality, not weak.
"I see that His Highness has the aura of purple gold in his head, which is indescribably precious. He really looks like a master. Today I am here to disturb you, so please don't worry about it."
Huang Chengyan also said on the side: "It is an honor for ordinary people like us to see the real dragon in the sea."
"You two are so complimentary that I'm embarrassed to show off to others. Please come quickly."
It seems that because of Pound, the Jingzhou nobles were very friendly towards Liu Chan!
Actually, after thinking about it, this is quite normal.
After all, there are quite a few officials from the Jingzhou faction who are under Liu Bei's command.
It can be said that most of the talents in Jingzhou have entered Liu Bei's shogunate.
In "Chu Shi Biao", Zhuge Liang claimed that "I am a commoner and work hard in Nanyang".
As we all know, "commoner" is often used to refer to ordinary people. However, Zhuge Liang was not an ordinary person. In fact, not only did Zhuge Liang come from a very unusual background, he also had many in-laws and friends, and he had contacts with many wealthy and famous people in Jingxiang.
Although the Zhuge family of Langya, where Zhuge Liang was born, is not as prominent as the "Four Generations and Three Dukes" of the Yuan family of Runan, nor as powerful as the Xun family of Yingchuan, it can still be regarded as a famous family in Yangdu, Langya.
In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Zhuge Xuan was defeated and killed under the joint attack of Zhu Hao and Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao. After losing the protection of his uncle, Zhuge Liang took his brothers and sisters to live in seclusion in Longzhong and devote themselves to farming and studying.
Although Zhuge Liang's identity has basically become that of a commoner after losing the protection of his father and uncle, due to marriages with wealthy families in other places and the friends who associate with Zhuge Liang, his circle of relatives and friends is extremely complicated. Jingzhou already has a certain influence.
Under Liu Biao's governance, many wealthy families moved to Jingzhou to avoid the war. At that time, there were dozens of families with more than two thousand shi of officials. The most famous ones were Cai, Kuai, Pang, Huang, Ma, Xi, Yang Qijia.
Zhuge Liang's eldest sister married Kuai Qi. Kuai Qi was born in the Kuai family of Xiangyang and was the nephew of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. Kuai Yue was the right-hand man of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. The second sister married Pang Shanmin, who was born in Pang Shanmin. Pang's family in Xiangyang was the son of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Jingxiang.
In addition, Zhuge Liang married the Huang family, the daughter of Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan. Although Huang Chengyan did not enter the officialdom, he had many contacts with Jingxiang celebrities and the upper class circles. He not only had good relations with Pang Tong, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Xu Shu and others. , and he is the son-in-law of Cai Xi, the chief minister of Nanjun, and Cai Xi is also the father-in-law of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. In this way, Zhuge Liang is actually somewhat related to Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou.
In other words, through gentry marriage, Zhuge Liang actually had relatives with the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Pang family, the Huang family, and the Xi family among the seven wealthy families in Jingzhou.
And there are even more friends.
Cui Zhouping, Xu Shu, Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei, Xiangyang Pang Tong, Ma Di, Xiang Lang, Yang Yong...
In fact, after all is said and done, there are only so many people in the upper class circle of the Jingzhou gentry, and there are only so many resources. The resources are divided among people who are familiar with each other.
In this era, for the lord, talents are very important, but for these noble talents, the amount of resources is also very important.
All the factions around Liu Bei have already invested.
Liu Chan has not yet ascended to power, and he will only have more and more resources in his hands in the future.
After all, when there is an emperor and courtiers, someone always has to go up.
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came here in person, naturally to deepen the Jingzhou faction's influence around Liu Chan, hoping to get more resources from Liu Chan in the future.
Otherwise, Mr. Pang De, who is living in seclusion in Lumen Mountain, would come all the way here?
Liu Chan led the two of them into the side hall and living room.
The main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion is now used as a place for negotiations!
Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin and others were having a heated exchange of words.
In the side hall, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan both knelt down, and Liu Chan sat on the main seat. The incense burner in the hall was now rising with green smoke. Even because of the extremely hot weather, Liu Chan ordered his men to take some from the ice room below. Take out ice cubes and place them next to Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan to relieve the heat.
Although he traveled to the Three Kingdoms period, as the crown prince of Hanzhong, he had all the power and beauty.
But the ordinary enjoyment of later generations has become a luxury now.
For example, in this hot summer, without air conditioning, it is really a torture.
"You two, please."
Liu Chan picked up a bowl of sour plum juice made from dried prunes, put ice cubes in it, and took a sip. It was really refreshing and refreshing.
"Your Highness, please."
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan took a sip, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't put it down.
"This plum juice has a unique flavor, and with crushed ice in it, it's really a great way to relieve the heat!"
"If you like it, drink a few more drinks. I have plenty here!"
Huang Chengyan was really a sweetheart, and he drank two large bowls before he gave up.
"I have already heard about the reputation of the two of you before I even arrived in Jingzhou. I wonder if I can give you any advice if I come here today?"
"I didn't dare to accept the advice. I came here specifically just to see His Highness' true appearance. Now that I have seen it, it has been a worthwhile trip!"
I believe you.
A person who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, deliberately comes out of the mountains to see Liu Chan?
Is Liu Chan's face so good-looking?
It is important for people to know themselves.
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came here just to ask for something.
As for what you want, it's too simple.
The exams for Jiangwu Hall will be held in a few days. It will be an opportunity to enter the Jiangwu Hall and become a student of Liu Chan!
If Liu Chan becomes the emperor in the future, wouldn't everyone who comes out of the martial arts hall be said to be the emperor's disciples?
This name is not a small one!
For those who have not entered the officialdom, it is much more valuable than the nickname Wolong Fengchu.
This is a smooth road to politics, and it is a precious political resource for Jingzhou scholars.
If not for this, Pang Degong would not have come from Lumen Mountain to Jiangling City.
The gentry in Jingzhou wanted political resources, while Liu Chan wanted the hearts and minds of the people in Jingzhou and the talents of the gentry. This was a deal that was good for everyone, so Liu Chan would not be disappointed.
"Five days later, Jingzhou's talented people will be selected by the Martial Arts Hall. I think these two are highly respected and can serve as liberal arts examiners. If Jingzhou's talented people see these two masters, they will definitely yearn for them, so what?"
The intelligence of Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, was indeed not groundless.
Before either of them explained their intention, His Highness had already guessed their thoughts.
"The two of us are naturally willing to serve His Highness." The two of them immediately saluted and expressed their stance.
Recruiting talents for His Highness, finding a way out for the clan, and increasing influence for the Jingzhou gentry in betting on Prince Liu Chan.
Even if they burn my remains, what can I do?
When a person lives his whole life, he always has to plan for his descendants.
"good!"
Liu Chan was also happy.
This time the Martial Arts Hall is selecting talents from Jingzhou, and with these two joining, both the quantity and quality of the talents must be guaranteed.
"You two are profoundly knowledgeable and elegant. Why don't you come to our Chongwen Pavilion? If you have any questions about Zen, you can ask at any time. Can you guys take a look?"
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan naturally knew the name of Chongwen Hall.
Being able to enter the Chongwen Pavilion can basically be said to be Liu Chan's staff and can provide him with advice and suggestions.
This is also a way to deepen the Jingzhou faction's influence around the prince.
Huang Chengyan readily agreed.
"It is our honor to be admitted to Chongwen Hall. Your Highness invites you, how can we refuse?"
"So, happy, happy!"
Liu Chan laughed heartily and said, "I have two of them. All the talented people from Jingxiang and Xiangyang are in my possession!"
Recruit talents first, and then discuss the construction of Jingzhou.
After the negotiations with the Jiangdong Peace Alliance are completed, a steady stream of people can be obtained from the Changsha Man.
These...are all laborers who cultivate the land.
After everything is done, how can the Shu Han's national power not increase?
