The 211st chapter Shengfu discussion (2)

Lu Jun's appearance just made up for the embarrassment that Lu Bu's army could not receive support from local celebrities. You should know that if you want to get support from people in one area, you must get support from local celebrities. Because when the people see that even local celebrities work for this prince, others naturally have a sense of belonging to this prince, just like Qiao Mao's attitude towards Sun Ce, is Qiao Mao a famous scholar or a great scholar? His superficial support of Sun Ce can make Sun Ce win many people's hearts.

Lu Jun's recruitment work has been recommended by Liu Kai. Their Liu family and the Lu family still have a deep relationship. When Lu Kang was the prefect, the Lu family and the Liu family were very close. Later, when Lu Kang died, the Lu family declined, but the Liu family still secretly helped the Lu family, which allowed the Lu family to be preserved. Sun Ce and the Lu family had a deep hatred. Nearly half of the Lu family members died at Sun Ce's hands, while Lu Bu's army defeated Sun Ce's army and caused Sun Ce to suffer. The enemy's enemy is a friend, right? Before Wancheng was in Sun Ce's hands, Lu Jun's Lu family could only swallow their anger and be low-key. Now it's different. Wancheng is now the Lu Bu's army!

Now I'm going to invite Lu Jun to become an official, I believe Lu Jun will agree. When Liu Mang retreated aside, he told Liu Kai that he would call him when he went to Lu Jun's house, but he wanted to meet Lu Xun and Lu Ji. Now, by age, they are still teenagers now!

"The problem of the genius, lord, has been solved, but we still cannot quench our thirst from afar!" Lu Jun may have recruited the children of the gentry to Lujiang to serve as an official, but the genius in Lujiang is almost dead. Even if the children of the genius in other states want to come to Lujiang to serve as an official, it will take time! Now Lujiang has experienced a war and urgently needs peace and development, and someone needs to manage it.

"Hmm?!" Lu Bu also frowned, and Chen Deng stood aside. If this was Xuzhou now, Chen Deng might have helped Lu Bu attract talents with the reputation of his father and the Chen family. But this is Wancheng, Guangling is far away from here, and even Cao Cao would not let Chen Deng go.

"Where do other people come from?" This has become a question. You must know that although Lujiang, Wancheng, is now in Lu Bu's hands, Lu Bu and the others are not locals, and they don't know who is a good person here, and who can govern the whole place!

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome?!" Liu Mang was a little confused. Lu Bu actually lacked officials? This is an official! Under the official-oriented system of China, he was worried that no one would be an official? "My father-in-law, why should we find talents? We can let them come to us directly!"

"Look for us?" Chen Gong and Lu Bu both turned their attention to Liu Mang. What does it mean to ask talented people to look for us? Is it mean to let those gentry children come to take the initiative to surrender to Lu Bu? Let's not joke anymore! Lu Bu's ugly reputation is that, how many gentry children are willing to go to office!

"Why do you need to find the children of the gentry?" Liu Mang stood up and said, "Not all talents in this world are among the gentry! We can also find them from the grass!"

"Among the grassland? Children of poor families?" Chen Gong probably understood, but then shook his head, "There are so many people in the grassland who are not virtuous!"

"No virtue?!" Liu Mang really laughed and said that the grassroots people were not virtuous. When did the gentry have virtue too!" Take the gentry in Wancheng for example. For the interests of their family, they directly raised an army to rebel against Lu Bu and almost slaughtered Wancheng. Such people are virtuous! For example, Chen Deng's father gave Lu Bu a trick on the surface, but another trick behind it. Is such a person virtuous? Liu Kai and his son also depended on Lu Bu's chariot from the interests of their family. However, Liu Mang did not say clearly that these people are all their own people now.

"The world is not yet determined. Where can so many talents with both virtue and talent come from? What you need now is whether you can do it, not let the military advisors be nitpicking! And most of the military advisors in front of you are born in the grass!" Liu Mang choked the old man Chen Gong, who made this old man always want to see Liu Mang make a fool of himself or not. Now in this hall, except for Chen Deng, the generals are basically grassroots people. Old generals are like Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both people who joined the army in Bingzhou with Lu Bu. If the gentry has power, they still need to be big-headed soldiers! Only Zang Ba is from a small gentry family, but he has also been a rebellious bandit, and newly subdued generals, such as Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning. Which of these are not born in the grassroots? Gan Ning is even a water thief, but they can support the power of Lu Bu!

Liu Mang's words made everyone present feel very comfortable. After all, it was not their birth to a gangster. They have the strength and ability to naturally make a career in this world.

"Posted a call for recruitment!" Liu Mang continued, "In the entire Wancheng and Lujiang, no, we should send people to post a call for recruitment, telling the world that our Lujiang Lubu Army is the only one who is born, no matter what your birth is, high officials and generous salaries are waiting for you, not afraid of the high demands raised, but fear that you are incapable of being able to do so!"

"Recruitment Order?!" Chen Gong was really stunned. He could imagine the consequences of this Recruitment Order if it appeared.

"No, lord!" The first person to stand up to oppose the Liu family leader Liu Kai. He didn't want to offend Liu Mang, but Liu Mang's idea was that Liu Kai seemed too bad. The order to recruit talents? No matter whether he was born, he could become an official as long as he had the ability?

You should know that the positions of this official are all held by the children of the gentry. There are very few poor children, unless this poor child has great talents. Why is this? Because the Han Dynasty selected officials in the country and the selection of filial and honest officials, and filial and honest officials can only become officials in various places. In fact, the way to become an official is in the hands of the genius. There are people in the family who are easy to do things. The bigger the family, the easier it is to become an official. The starting point of this official is. For example, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and a native of Qiao County, Cao Cao, was elected as a filial and honest official at the age of 20. He was promoted to be a filial and honest official at the North of Luoyang.

Duwei, what kind of official position is this? To compare the current world, it is that a branch director of the Municipal Bureau of the Capital Public Security Bureau is at least a department-level cadre. In the local area, it may be the director of the Public Security Department of each province. How old is he? He is twenty years old! This is because Cao Cao was also a gentry child born in a family of officials. After Cao Shen, the prime minister of Han, Cao Cao's father Cao Song was Cao Teng's adopted son. He served as the Grand Marshal of Han Ling during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, and served four generations of emperors. He had a certain reputation. He was named Marquis of Feiting during the reign of Emperor Huan of Han.

With such a big family, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to not become an official.

Not to mention Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. These two families are the largest family in the world except for the royal family. Just like the Morgan family's low position in the United States, Yuan Shu became the Yin of Henan as a filial and honest county, and that is, the prefect of a county in Henan. Yuan Shao was not bad. He was not old and became the eight lieutenant of Xiyuan.

And Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law would not have such good luck. Without a family or power to help him, he could only climb up step by step. The road up was full of difficulties and dangers. If Lu Bu had the family background of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Lu Bu would not have been known as a slave of three surnames.

Now Liu Mang actually wanted to summon poor families to be officials. What is he trying to do? He wanted to abandon the privilege of filial and honest people in the gentry! The reason why the gentry was able to pass on for so long is because they can be officials from generation to generation. Apart from the troubled times, there are only the gentry themselves. Otherwise, they will be officials for generations, and their nephews will be able to make a single official position no matter what. No matter who is in power, they can still starve those officials to death!

If Liu Mang abolished the filial and honest candidates, then the decline of the gentry would be really not necessarily. It is possible that a generation would be abandoned if they did not become officials.

"When the lord's order of recruiting talents is released, it will inevitably make the gentry in the world more despise me! In this way, the gentry in Lujiang and the gentry in the world are even more reluctant to become an official in Lujiang!" Liu Kai immediately opposed.

"Yes. The lord cannot open this hole!" Chen Deng also stood up and spoke. Although he was the only one left in the Chen family, don't forget that if they follow Lu Bu, they will become a new group of gentry again. At that time, this will be their vital interests.

Not only Chen Deng and Liu Kai, but also Yang Hong also stood up to oppose it.

"Hmm?!" Liu Mang didn't expect that as soon as he spoke, so many people opposed it. The one who could give Lu Bu the advice here was Chen Gong, the real adviser. There were also three part-time advisers, Liu Mang, Chen Deng, Liu Kai and Yang Hong. Now there were four and a half people who opposed it. Although Chen Gong did not speak, his expression did not agree with Liu Mang.

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Mang didn't understand. In history, Cao Cao had issued a recruitment order! Why did Cao Cao successfully recruit a group of poor talented people, and Liu Mang was opposed by these people as soon as he proposed it.

In fact, Liu Mang didn't know that after Cao Cao proposed the order to recruit talents, it only took several years. Cao Cao's order to recruit talents to recruit many poor families and make these poor families generous and glorious, but in the same way, the poor families who were opposed to the order to recruit talents were also the poor families. Because they became officials and established families and became gentry. After becoming gentry, they naturally wanted the privilege of being an official for generations. Cao Cao's order to recruit talents to recruit poor families but hurt the children of the gentry. The big gentry began to disobey Cao Cao's indifferent and conscientious people. When Cao Cao was there, he did not dare to be too obvious. Cao Cao jumped out immediately as soon as he died. Cao Pi was Cao Cao's son but did not have the kingly way of Cao Cao. Therefore, in order to appease these gentry, Cao Pi was also to win over the gentry, because he knew that only gentry could help him stabilize the world and only with the support of the gentry, he could hold him firmly.

Therefore, the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system appeared. With the help of Chen Qun, Cao Pi issued the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system. This system completely put the privileges of the gentry to a peak, and finally even showed that there was no poor family in the top grade and no nobles in the lower grade.

Chen Gong stood aside and seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't say anything and watched the two sides arguing.

"If there is no order to recruit talents, then I ask Brother Ziqi, who will let Lujiang be governed next? Let the people govern themselves!" Liu Mang said to Liu Kai, while Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and other generals on the side could not get in the mouth.

"If we open this opening, our Lujiang will really offend the gentry in the world!" Liu Kai persuaded Liu Mang with great thoughts that recruiting talents is only talented, and this is really a blow to the gentry. The gentry originally relied on the protection of their ancestors to obtain the inheritance of generations, and could be an official and be free. Once the Liu Mang's recruiting order was released, what would the gentry think? Even the privilege of becoming an official is gone, so how could it be called a gentry?

The gentry and gentry are all children in the family who can become officials. Only when there are too many gentry people are called gentry.

"If you offend, you will offend! What's wrong with those who plunder the people's wealth and profit-seeking gentry offends!" Liu Mang did not give up at all. He killed almost all the gentry in Wancheng, so he didn't care about those gentry.

Lu Bu was a little embarrassed. If Liu Mang's idea was taken to issue a wise order, no matter how idiotic Lu Bu was, he would know that even though he had won the hearts of poor families in the world, he would lose the hearts of the gentry. He didn't care about it in Lujiang, because the gentry of Lujiang was almost dead. However, once the Lu Bu army expanded, Lu Bu would definitely not get the support of the gentry from other places. Without the help of the gentry, he would definitely stumbling up! Those gentry had a large local power in the local area. They only had a few percent of the population but occupied 80% of the wealth. Even some emperors would dare to offend the gentry of the world, such as Cao Pi and Zhao Kuangyin, who ruled the world together! There were still many great talents in the gentry. If those people plotted against you from time to time, they would be extremely uncomfortable.

Why did Lu Bu lose Xuzhou because he was plotted against the Chen Deng family, the gentry of Xuzhou.

But if you listen to Liu Kai, then it would be useless to say that, and there was no result in any discussion. Lujiang still lacked talents and could not be managed.

"You can win a little bit!" Chen Gong finally spoke and walked out to look at Liu Kai and Liu Mang. Both of them made sense. "You can issue a recruitment order, but only this time. When we find enough talents to manage Lujiang, we will take back the recruitment order!" Chen Gong's compromise was to first build the framework of Lujiang's governance and then look at the matter later! Anyway, all the gentry in Lujiang have died now, and no one has stumbling to Lu Bu's army. As for the territory in the future, let's talk about it if it is too big!

"That's all!" Lu Bu nodded and pointed at Liu Mang. "Han Yang, since you proposed this recruitment order, you will be responsible!"

"I understand!" Liu Mang nodded and could only compromise and win.

"The talent problem has been solved, so should you expand your territory below, lord?" Chen Gong raised the third question. The position on Lu Bu was the governor of Xuzhou, not the prefect of a county. Even so, only half of Lujiang was in hand, which was suitable for expansion.

"Exaggerate the territory?!" All the generals present lit up their eyes. You should know that expansion means fighting, and only by fighting can we achieve military achievements!

"Territory?!" Now there are Sun Ce around Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Liu Biao. Sun Ce followed Chen Gong's plan to wait for Sun Ce to discuss peace. Now he is to fight Sun Ce to give Liu Biao a dowry. Liu Biao in Jingzhou has only one Jiangxia leaning against Wancheng. Now Jiangxia is in a mess. Sun Ce's army and Liu Biao's army are fighting crisscrossingly. There are only bad things when Lu Bu inserts into it, but no good things.

Another one is Cao Cao! Xu Du, who has just been attacked by Cao Cao, has sent troops to attack Cao Cao! Although Lu Bu has always had this idea, he also knew that there is a more difficult opponent in Hebei than Cao Cao, Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao has occupied the four continents of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and if Cao Cao was defeated by him, then it would be great. Even if Yuan Shao lacked any more, he would be dizzy, and he would not be able to defeat other princes by relying on the entire Central Plains. He could die with his troops! Because the wealth of the Central Plains made the Three Kingdoms finally come to Jin. Cao Cao lost 800,000 troops in the battle of Chibi, but he could not hurt Cao Cao! This is the wealth of the Central Plains, and the population of the Central Plains is several times the sum of other places. Shu has mountains and rivers, and Wu has Yangtze River, so that he could last for so long, otherwise he would have been destroyed long ago!

Now these neighbors cannot attack, so where can Lu Bu expand his territory?
