When Yuan Xi transferred Di Town to Ye, the two great events of the birth of the prince and the recruitment of talent in Yan State quickly spread throughout the Yan State, which immediately caused the whole country to be jubilant. In particular, the recruitment of talent was not only targeted at the gentry, but also included poor families, which was even more exciting.

There are three types of officials selected in the Han Dynasty:

One is the system of recruitment: recruiting people with prominent reputations from all over the world to become officials;

The second is the system of recommendation: that is, senior officials such as ministers, marquises, and local county magistrates recommend talents with noble character and outstanding talents to the court, and after the assessment, they are granted official positions.

The third is to promote filial piety and integrity. The Han Dynasty established the country with filial piety, which demonstrated the filial piety of the emperor. It was also an important way to stabilize social contradictions and give ordinary people an important way to enter the official career.

In addition to filial piety and honesty, the above three types are really too difficult for poor students, because education in the Han Dynasty has not been popularized, and those who can afford to go to school are limited to local wealthy families and court officials. Even if poor students are working hard, they either have private morality or talent when they are inspecting, because the officials examined above are often the gentry and wealthy families, and they are born with prejudice in their eyes. Over time, the more difficult it is for poor families to appear, or they are completely buried, while the gentry and powerful people have formed the phenomenon of becoming officials for generations.

Now that Yuan Xi is recruiting talents in large numbers, although the gentry still has a huge advantage and cannot be shaken, poor families can indeed realize their ambitions through assessment. This is sensational. Youzhou was incomparable to the current Yan State. When he was in Youzhou, Yuan Xi had to keep a little restraint, but now he can make a big fuss and no one can stop him.

In addition, the three great sages, Hua Xin, Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, are personally hosted by them, which makes people yearn for them. Even if they fail the exam, as long as they can go to Yecheng and participate, they will be enough to make friends with many talents and become famous all over the world. This will be of great help to their future.

As time goes by, the news of recruiting talents began to spread to the whole world, and all the princes were shocked, but their methods of performance and courage were completely different.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao made a quick decision and immediately ordered to follow Yuan Xi's example to recruit talents. He was originally a talent-loving person. In addition, Yuan Xi's actions were obviously not only recruiting talents, but also turbulent political situations in various places and pulling all talents over. How could he let Yuan Xi do what he wished and quickly take advantage of this trend and make drastic moves. He directly pushed all the gentry who tried to obstruct him on the grounds that the court would be in turmoil and the Yan State was prosperous.

However, Cao Cao had the courage, prestige, and means, but other princes could only shake their heads and sigh. If they did this kind of thing, it would definitely greatly harm the interests of the gentry. They could not bear this risk, nor did they have the strength of Yuan Xi, the first king in troubled times and Cao Cao, the imperial guards. They could only continue to appease the people and not be tempted by these temptations. They were all deceitful people, and they sent people to guard the passage in an attempt to prevent the loss of talents.

Among them, Sun Quan of Jiangdong was the best. He sent famous scholars to constantly appease him, and even came forward in person to show his heart to be united in Jiangdong. On the other hand, he blocked the Yangtze River and waited for the north and the Central Plains to recruit talents, and then opened the ferry after the recruitment of talents in the Central Plains.

However, no matter what measures are taken, only a part of the blocking can be blocked. Many talents who have not been able to become officials still yearn for it. Especially in Dayan, there are three great sages in the world who guard it, which must be sure. They carry their bags, bid farewell to their parents, and go to the north, and seek this glimmer of hope for their lifelong ambitions.

In the quiet and elegant thatched hut in Xinye, Jingzhou, about two miles away from Wolonggang, a man in white was reading a book quietly, as if he ignored the turbulent storm outside.

Not long after, a book boy walked in and bowed to him, "Young Master, I'm back."

"How is it?" the man in white asked without leaving the book.

"Liu Jingzhou was just a peacemaker. Not only did he fail to do anything, he summoned all the great gentry and powerful people to appease him."

"Yeah, where is Jiangdong?" the man continued to ask.

"Sun Quan from Jiangdong seemed to be a little disturbing, but it was too small, and he sent Jiangdong naval troops to block the river road," said the boy.

"Haha, it's understandable that Sun Quan had just succeeded to the throne, and with the might of the Jiangdong gentry, he really couldn't compete with it. He didn't follow the example because of impulse, and could be a wise ruler," the man praised.

"Young Master, you," the boy said unexpectedly.

"What am I?" The man picked up the feather fan beside him and stood up slowly. After turning gently, his eyes lit up. He saw that his skin was fair, his side face was as sharp as a knife, with clear edges but not without softness. When he chuckled, he felt like a feather falling, sweet as sugar, especially the pair of dazzling black eyes that seemed to be able to see through his past and present lives, which made people unable to help but indulge in it. He was really a rare man who was rare in a century.

"Young Master is going to Jiangdong?" the boy asked bluntly.

"What do you think?" the man smiled faintly.

"Asan can't tell the truth, but he feels that Jiangdong is not a good place," the boy shook his head and said.

"Haha, I feel that sometimes it is better than infinite strategies. This is what you have cultivated after years of careful study. Sun Quan from Jiangdong was young and could stabilize the situation. He is already the best among people. However, in troubled times, he pays attention to the right time, place, and people. One step away from heaven and earth. If he cannot seize the land of Jingzhou, even if there is a Yangtze River Tianjian in Jiangdong, he can only bow down and surrender. Even if he seized it, although the navy in Jiangdong is strong, the army is not worth mentioning if compared with the north. At most, it can be settled in the land. This is a natural defect. Unless a war god like Han Xin shows, he will win the battle and defeat the attack, it will be difficult to change." The man gently shook the feather fan.

"Young Master is such a person," the boy said proudly immediately.

The man shook his head and said, "Even if I have this ability, Sun Quan is not the only one in the world. Cao Cao, who uses the emperor to command the princes, has great talent and strategy, fights south and north, and has few signs of defeat. He occupies the Central Plains, and has many talents under his command, which is much stronger than Sun Quan. The first king of troubled times, Yuan Xi, let alone the deep way to hide his strength and maintain a low-level life, pacify Wuhuan, capture Liaodong, have a vicious look, take decisive action, fight with Guandu, defeat Cao Cao, officially fly to the nine heavens, take over the entire north, establish a country and build an industry, is unstoppable, and there are even more powerful generals and counselors under his command. These two are great heroes and have too many advantages. It would be good if Sun Quan could defend Jiangdong."

"Just talk about this time! These two people have the courage to change the world, but Sun Quan is not good. Maybe it's because he doesn't have enough prestige, but one step is different, one step is different. After this time, these two people will continue to soar. At most, a few years later, it is certain that a war that swept the whole world will break out, and the dominant ones, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Xiliang, and even Jiangdong, will face unprecedented challenges."

"That young master is planning," the boy asked expectantly.

The man smiled faintly, waved his feather fan and said, "You can go to the old house where we used to live in Wolonggang, and shouted three times there, I want to go north, and when friends see me, if someone comes out, you will bring them here. If not, we will go south to Jiangdong."

"No!" The boy was stunned and rushed out immediately.

The man looked out the window and murmured: "Mr. Sima, Liang has fulfilled his promise and it's time to come out. In fact, Liang never considered glorious for all ages. As long as he could end this chaotic world and return the peace of the world, it would be enough."

Zhuge is famous in the universe, and a feather is in the sky forever.
