Chapter 59
: Thirsty for talents
What was most important in the seventh century AD?
Talent!
In this era that emphasizes the rule of man, an outstanding talent can determine the rise and fall of a force, a nation, and a country.
If the future Emperor Taizong Li Shimin is just a single player without the help of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and other top talents who have been famous throughout the ages, he will only be a mediocre person.
Just a king.
When it comes to arranging plans, Chu Tianxiu thinks that he has done a pretty good job. From the day he left Yangzhou, he has continuously laid a solid foundation, spread chess pieces widely, and taken root in the southeast.
Not only did his own forces expand like a snowball, but his own strength did not drop at all. His personal strength increased sharply every day, and he gradually moved towards the level of a grandmaster.
But as his family's strength expanded little by little, he became more and more aware of the lack of his own power.
Today, it is like a car with a first-class engine, third-class tires, gearbox, shock absorbers, and chassis. It can be driven and run well, but there are always some problems.
At this time, talent recruitment has become an urgent matter.
But it is a pity that most of the talents in this world are either from aristocratic families or from wealthy families. They all have high status and have extremely bright futures.
If Chu Tianxiu hadn't destroyed the Haisha Gang a few days ago, which could be regarded as a bit of a reputation in the world, otherwise even if he was recruited in Jingling County, it would be unsuccessful, but it would still be a vain act of a small official, so he would not be able to do it.
Even though he traveled thousands of miles from Jingling to join his subordinates, he didn’t have much confidence!
Even the recruitment was like this, let alone Li Jing, whose family was in decline, but he was still considered to be from a family of officials, and was the nephew of the famous Sui general Han Qinhu.
Xu Xingzhi, who was standing on the deck of the merchant ship, had no idea that Chu Tianxiu was so urgent and would receive such courtesy. He quickly raised his hands in salute and said humbly: "Master Chu, you are so polite. Xu Xingzhi is just a poor scholar, how can he
It deserves such courtesy.”
It would be nonsense to say that Chu Tianxiu was not covetous of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others.
Li Jing comes out!
After Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling came out of the mountains, opportunities continued to come to them. The first opportunity they encountered was to meet Li Jing, the most powerful master of military art in the world.
He truly understood the form of the world through his mouth.
…
Ever since Chu Tianxiu followed Song Que to learn swordsmanship, he had never looked forward to someone or something so much. That feeling was almost like buying a lottery ticket worth tens of millions in his previous life. He eagerly
It’s like running to the prize redemption center to redeem a multi-million dollar prize.
Even though Xu Xingzhi's itinerary was under his control, when Chu Tianxiu heard that the merchant ship Xu Xingzhi was on arrived in Jiangyin, he didn't even bother to wait for the merchant ship to put down the deck, so he jumped in a hurry
He got up and jumped into the boat.
In the past, when Chu Tianxiu listened to historical stories, every time he heard the story of Zhou Gong spitting out his blessings and Cao Cao walking backwards to greet him, he would sneer at it, thinking that it was just a show for outsiders to see and could not be considered true.
As for the current world, we only talk about the ingenuity of using troops, and I am afraid that no one can surpass it.
Naturally, Chu Tianxiu didn't want to let go of such a peerless commander. In fact, when he returned to Jiangyin for the first time, he sent his men to inquire about Li Jing.
"Haha, Mr. Xu is so polite! Mr. Xu has the talent of a national scholar. If others don't know it, how can I know it? This time I invite Mr. Xu to come over, but I have a big event to invite, but I still need Mr. Xu's help and help me.
ah!"
But now he is still in the foundation stage of his career and has no attraction at all to outstanding talents from all walks of life. How can he attract them to work for him?
He is about thirty years old, has a good foundation in martial arts in his manner, has straight eyes and a straight nose, and has five long beards, which, combined with his delicate features, makes him quite elegant.
For example, what is the identity of Changsun Wuji, the "Gong Zhao" who will rank first in the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty in the future?
His father was Sun Sheng, the general of the Youxiao Guard of the Sui Dynasty, his mother was the daughter of Gao Mai, the king of Le'an in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his uncle was Gao Shilian, the prefect of Jiaozhi in the Sui Dynasty. He was a second-generation official and a rich second-generation official, with a proper aristocratic background.
"Mr. Xu, you are finally here. I, Chu Tianxiu, have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Fortunately, his subordinate Chu Liang was very capable and had set up a very good intelligence network. Just yesterday, in the vast sea of people, he helped him find out the story of Li Jing, who was seriously injured due to an ambush by Du Fuwei.
information.
Even if a small number of them were from poor families, they had either participated in the imperial examinations of the Great Sui Dynasty or entered the military of the Great Sui Dynasty. Even among the people, they had long since surrendered to the rebel armies from all walks of life and gathered in Li Mi.
Under the banner of Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande and other princes.
Such a wealthy kid whose status is three points higher than that of Chu Tianxiu, how can you ask Chu Tianxiu, who is now almost poor and has only money left, to recruit him? Just use his sharp tongue.
?
The choice of talents is a two-way street! Even Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Wang Bo and other local princes who have already made a name for themselves, it is difficult for them to recruit real talents to work for them, let alone unknown ones.
Chu Tianxiu showed off.
It goes without saying what kind of person Li Jing is. An entire thick history book can be written about him.
Counting the five thousand years of China is the long river of Chinese history. There are only a few strategists who can rival or surpass him, such as Jiang Ziya, Han Xin, and Yue Fei.
In the past half month, Chu Tianxiu has indeed done a lot of things——
However, these things that Chu Tianxiu did will benefit the development of his future power, but in the final analysis, these means are just icing on the cake and cannot play an absolute role in his future development.
Xu Xing is worthy of being the future strategist of Kou Zhong. He single-handedly managed the young commander's army in an orderly manner and became the second-largest prince in the world. Not to mention, his appearance alone is excellent, quite a bit.
The temperament of Zhuge Wuhou, a famous official throughout the ages.
Destroy the Haisha Gang, intimidate the Jukun Gang, defraud the Dongming Sect...
When he found a middle-aged scholar who was protected by several Jiangyin branch gang members, he quickly walked up to him and said excitedly.
But after his long-suffering journey finally reached Jiangyin, he finally understood what the two eternal celebrities were thinking when they did what they did.
In the past month, the only event that could have an absolute impact on his future was actually only one...
Chu Tianxiu saw Xu Xingzhi's attitude with his own eyes, and knew that no matter what attitude the future scholar had, he already had the attitude of surrendering to him, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Chu Tianxiu had actually thought about Xu Xingzhi's future arrangements a long time ago.
A horse that can run a thousand miles can eat as much millet or a stone in one meal. Those who eat horses eat without knowing that it can run a thousand miles. Even though it is a horse that can run a thousand miles, it is not full of food, lacks strength, does not show its talent and beauty, and has constant desires.
If you can't get a horse, how can you expect it to be able to run a thousand miles?
For a great talent like Xu Xingzhi, if we cannot give him a suitable position and allow him to fully demonstrate his abilities, it would be the biggest waste and the biggest crime.
The moment Xu Xingzhi left Jingling County and went to Jiangyin, Chu Tianxiu actually made arrangements to transfer Hu Douzhou's fortune back to Jiangyin County, and then entrusted all his foundations in Hu Douzhou to Jiangyin County.
Give it to him.
