"Master Zhou, why did you tell Yu Shanbo such a secret matter as soon as we met? Aren't you afraid that I would report you to the superiors?" Liang Shanbo asked bluntly.
Although it is the time for Zhou Yi to directly recruit boss, the etiquette expected by the ancients is still indispensable. Zhou Yi smiled lightly and said: "This is actually not a secret in Pingliang County. Almost everyone in Pingliang knows it."
"I heard from Qian Yong that your talents have already emerged not long after you came to Pingliang County. I really don't want to lose a pillar like Brother Liang, so I tell my heart to you. I hope Brother Liang can stay and govern Pingliang with us." Pingjiang, govern Yongzhou, and even Beidi!"
This time it was Liang Shanbo's turn to be silent.
It is said that thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist.
He did help organize some logistical work when the Xiongnu besieged the city. Liang Shanbo never expected that his talents would be discovered by the people of Pingliang County so quickly.
It is impossible for Liang Shanbo not to be moved by Zhou Yi's sincere invitation.
But Zhou Yi invented a fictional "Li Feiyu" to deceive a county town, and Liang Shanbo still couldn't let go of this.
Just when Liang Shanbo was about to politely refuse, suddenly a middle-aged man walked quickly from not far away.
"Is this Brother Xingjian?"
Zhou Yi took a closer look and saw that the person calling him was Ji Bochang, the original magistrate of Pingjiang County!
"Brother Bochang, is this brother Bochang?"
"We haven't seen each other for three years. Brother Bochang is looking more and more energetic now!"
Compared with when he was in Pingjiang County three years ago, Ji Bochang has grown grayer and fatter now.
My energy and spirit are also much better than three years ago!
Seeing Youshen assisting, Zhou Yi quickly introduced Liang Shanbo: "Brother Shanbo, this is Brother Ji Bochang, he is the former magistrate of Pingjiang County."
As soon as Zhou Yi's words came out, Ji Bochang felt ashamed and said: "Brother Xingjian, please don't expose my shortcomings again. Under my governance, the people of Pingjiang County have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. Look at Pingjiang again. , Pingliang and Pingliang counties are so full of vitality."
"I heard that when you used the pseudonym Li Feiyu, you wiped out Xie Baoqing, a bandit who had been causing harm to my Pingjiang County for many years. If I had known that Li Feiyu was you, I, Ji Bochang, would have surrendered Pingjiang County to you!"
In addition to Liang Shanbo feeling that Zhou Yi fabricated "Li Feiyu" to deceive the emperor, he was also worried that he had done some unethical things when he was a bandit.
Now, Ji Bochang's words have dispelled Liang Shanbo's doubts about Zhou Yi's fictional Li Feiyu.
"Brother Bochang, there is a shortage of talents in Pingliang County now. I would also like to ask you to come out again and help Mr. Qian manage Pingliang County together. What do you think?"
Ji Bochang shook his head and said: "I have also seen Mr. Qian's governance ability in the past three years. Compared with Mr. Qian, Ji is far inferior."
"As the saying goes, Chen Li is only for those who can't do it. I'd better forget about becoming an official. I'm still suitable to be a people's teacher in Pingliang's academy."
Zhou Yi also understood Ji Bochang's personality and abilities. An old scholar like him was really not suitable to work under his command.
Zhou Yi had just been polite to him. Fortunately, Ji Bochang was self-aware and did not embarrass Zhou Yi, let alone himself.
"By the way, brother Xingjian, I still have something to do in the school, so I won't disturb you from doing business here. Next time you have time, you can come to the humble house to get together, and we can have a long chat!"
"Okay, okay, please, Brother Bochang, I will definitely pay you a visit someday!"
After seeing off Ji Bochang who came to say hello, Liang Shanbo, who originally wanted to refuse, asked hesitantly: "Master Zhou, I, Liang Shanbo, have not yet obtained any meritorious service. I only helped a little when the Xiongnu and Khitan besieged the city. Why do you do that?" Dare to use me!"
When the city was first besieged, the work of organizing people to pick up manure and cook meals seemed simple, but in fact it contained hidden secrets.
To be able to do these two things smoothly requires strong organizational and coordination skills and good communication skills.
With these two abilities, it is not appropriate to help Zhou Yi govern the people!
However, Zhou Yi still wanted to show off again, so he turned his back and began to read a poem slowly: "Kyuzhou relies on wind and thunder for its anger, and it is sad that thousands of horses are silent. I advise God to cheer up and send talents of any kind."
After Liang Shanbo heard this poem, he was shaken to the core.
Thousands of horses are silent, and the government and the public are silent and lifeless. Isn’t this what Chen Guo is talking about now!
As it is said in the poem of the Book of Changes, if we want to change the current dull and decadent situation of Chen State, we must rely on the huge power like wind and thunder.
And this thunderous power is probably the reason why Zhou Yi pretended to be "Li Feiyu"!
From the last line of the poem, Liang Shanbo seemed to hear Zhou Yi's fatigue.
"Think about it, it must be very tiring for you to govern Pingjiang and Pingliang counties alone this week!"
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a feeling of eclectic promotion of talented people!"
Liang Shanbo couldn't help but feel moved. Although he wanted to agree to Zhou Yi's request to recruit talents on the spot, he and his wife Zhu Yingtai were students who came to the Northland temporarily to study. It was hard to explain to their families that they suddenly settled in the Northland.
When Liang Shanbo was still hesitant, Zhou Yi took the opportunity to put a high hat on him again: "I know Shanbo that you are not only a talent, but also a hero. A hero has great ambitions, a good plan, and the ability to contain the universe." He is the one who has the opportunity to save all the people."
"A distinguished person and hero like Shan Bo would never leave after seeing our two counties, Pingliang and Pingjiang, being abused by the Xiongnu and Khitan!"
Zhou Yi's words were sincere, just like the judge teacher of a certain singing variety show who turned his chair and said to the contestants: "I need you!"
And Liang Shanbo was so flattered by Zhou Yi that he nodded eccentrically and agreed: "As the saying goes, a bird that chooses wood can live in a good tree; a minister who chooses his master can meet the master of the Ming Dynasty. Liang's lifelong wish is enough. From now on From now on, Liang's life will be Lord Zhou's life, and Liang's body will be Lord Zhou's body, but there will be no two minds in driving him."
Seeing that he had deceived another cultural man who was doing things for him, Zhou Yi felt very happy. He quickly took Liang Shanbo's hand and said, "Shanbo, Mr. Qian's son is now trapped in Pingjiang County. Because he misses his son so much, now I don’t care about the government affairs of Pingliang County, so I’ll be busy with you during this time!”
After Liang Shanbo heard this, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
At this time, a scout cavalry sent by Zhou Yi outside the city came to report the news.
"Replying to your lord, urgent report from Pingjiang County!"
After hearing this, Qian Yong felt extremely uneasy, fearing that the news about Pingjiang County's destruction of the city was coming.
"Sir, the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces surrounded Pingjiang County and attacked from all sides for many days. They lost fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses. Now the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces have adjusted their strategy. Although they only attacked the east gate side, the offensive became more fierce. Pingjiang County Now there is a crisis of destroying the city!"
When Qian Yong heard "there is a crisis of destroying the city", he was so frightened that he collapsed.
