Chapter 186 Shangdang attracts Feng Qiwu

"Guochang, today I will recommend several famous scholars to you. The three of them are all among the people!" Zhang Jian said to Zhao Xing who came to the hall.

"This position is the North Sea Zhuxu Bing Genju. It is praised by the world as the pure and righteous, and the ambition is loyal. It is pure and quiet enough to be strict with the common people, and it is chaste and solid enough to do things. The so-called dragon, calligraphy and phoenix wings are the most important treasure of the country. If you use it, those who are not kind will be far away." Zhang Jian first introduced the Bing Yuan (the character root) to Zhao Xing.

"Guochang has met Brother Genju!" Zhao Xing gave the ceremony of a scholar to Bingyuan.

"I went to school later, but I was praised by the Grand Secretary. I met General Zhenbei!" Bing Yuan quickly stood up and returned to Zhao Xing. He knew a little about this young man who had once made a big splash in the Imperial Pen Pavilion.

"This position was Zhu Xu of Beihai, Guan You'an, and the wise minister Guan Zhong, who was called a noble and noble person in the world. He was indeed unlucky. He once taught poetry and books in the village, presented sacrificial books, decorated his dignity, politeness, and transformed his virtues." Zhang Jian introduced to Zhao Xing another eight-foot-long scholar Guan Ning (whose courtesy name was You'an).

"Guochang has met Brother You'an!" Zhao Xing saluted Guan Ning again.

"The savage from Beihai is ashamed to be a great scholar and praise him. I have seen General Zhenbei!" Guan Ning also stood up and returned the gift to Zhao Xing. As a fellow villager of Bingyuan, Guan Ning was invited by Zhang Jian this time and came to Shangdang to study.

"In Xiaqinghe East Wu Cui Jigui, I dare not trouble the recommendation of the Grand Secretary. I have met General Zhenbei!" The remaining young scholar in his twenties stood up and introduced himself to Zhao Xing.

"See Brother Ji Gui!" Before Zhao Xing could figure out the details of the few people, he bowed in a general way.

"Brother Genju, Brother You'an and Huaxin Pingyuan, the three of them are called Yilong. Xin is the dragon head, originally the dragon's belly, and preferably the dragon's tail. Today, one dragon comes two, which can be said to be the blessing of Guochang and Shangdang!" After everyone sat down, Zhang Jian said with a smile.

When Zhao Xing heard Zhang Jian say this, he immediately remembered that several scholars in the Three Kingdoms period were indeed called Yilong by people at that time. The famous "cutting mats and breaking diplomas" in history, and "getting gold from hoe gardens" seemed to have happened between them. Now Zhao Xing was very upset. When he thought that Bingzhou was currently lacking literati. If Bingyuan could be retained, Guan Ning, a scholar who was as famous as Kong Rong, would be a great benefit for attracting literati to become officials and study in the future. So Zhao Xing immediately became eager.

"Today, Shangdang was fortunately visited by all the famous scholars. Guochang was unhelpful and invited you to Zuixian Tower to welcome the crowd!" Zhao Xing stood up and greeted the people enthusiastically.

"Since Guochang has this intention, we are less cliché. The Changhe Daqu sold in Zuixianlou in Crouching Tiger City is a top-notch wine that is hard to find in the world. Today is a good drink!" Zhang Jian pulled a few people out without saying a word.

On the Zuixian Tower, on the top floor of the seventh floor, everyone sat down one after another, and Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Chen Gong and others accompanied him. The guests and hosts sat together, drinking and chatting, which was very lively.

Everyone in the seat talked loudly. Guan Ning explained that Bing originally liked drinking, but when she thought that drinking would waste her studies, she resolutely made up her mind to quit drinking. Whenever someone advised him to drink, Bing always looked at the wine glass, then smiled and shook his hand, saying that he would not drink alcohol. In fact, Bing restrained himself in order not to waste his studies and did not get drunk.

After hearing Guan Ning's words, Zhao Xing said with emotion: "Everyone says, 'The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.' In order to concentrate on studying hard, Bing Genju gave up drinking and devotion. The heart of the rock is admirable!"

Seeing Guan Ning constantly boasting about him, Bingyuan also revealed Guan Ning's shortcomings in desperation. Bingyuan said that Guan Ning and Hua Xin found gold when they were hoeing the ground together. Hua Xin couldn't help but hold it in his hand to watch it, but Guan Ning regarded it as rubble and left it aside. Another time, the two of them were "studying together". A nobleman passed by outside in a luxurious sedan chair. He ignored it and was still devoted to studying. However, Hua Xin showed his admiration and ran out to see. After Hua Xin came back, Guan Ning divided the mat into two from the middle and wanted to break up with Hua Xin, which made Hua Xin stay with him for several days.

After hearing this revelation from Bing Yuan, Zhao Xing finally verified that the later generations recorded that "the money from the hoe garden was cut and the mat was cut off" really happened. At the same time, he also saw from the side that Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and others' virtues were indeed noble.

Cui Yan, who was not well-known among the people, pestered Jia Xu and Tian Feng to inquire about the political affairs of Bingzhou and Shangdang. Cui Yan was very interested in Zhao Xing's many incredible political orders and put forward different opinions and opinions from time to time.

At first, Zhao Xing didn't notice much about Cui Yan. Later, when he was drunk, he heard others shouting "Cui Yan, Cui Yan" and suddenly woke up. He remembered that there was a Shangshu under Cao Cao's command, named Cui Yan. He was imprisoned because he opposed Cao Cao's promotion to the King of Wei. He scolded Cao Cao for being a traitor in prison. Later, Cao Cao ordered the scepter to be killed in prison.

Zhao Xing was secretly happy. The master who could make Cao Cao kill was not an ordinary person. Cui Yan is not famous yet, so he has not fallen into Cao Cao's eyes. Since Shangdang came to him, he can't let Lao Cao ruin it anymore!

After drinking and eating, Zhao Xing began to recruit everyone.

"Today, the Yellow Turbans are in chaos. The military and civilians of Bingzhou have been working together. They have washed the entire territory ten months ago and are no longer plagued by the rioters. You gentlemen are better off living in Shangdang. Guochang will treat him as a national soldier!" Zhao Xing said politely.

"We are here, and we are just in this intention. I beg the general to open a place of peace for scholars and not to suffer from war!" Bing Yuan stood up and gave a great gift to Zhao Xing, and then Guan Ning gave the same gift.

"This matter is easy. Tomorrow, I will order people to find a beautiful place at the foot of Taihang Mountains, build Taihang Academy, and place all the scholars in the world. All the supply is borne by Wohu City!" Zhao Xing patted his chest and promised.

"Now that Bingzhou is now in its infancy, there are very few people available in various counties. I wonder if you are willing to become an official?" Jia Xu threw out an olive branch.

"They were fascinated by knowledge and were not good at being an official..." Bing Yuan refused.

"I would rather devote myself to studying. Please ask for a clever job in officialdom!" Guan Ning also refused.

"Yan is not talented, and is willing to plan for the people!" Cui Yan, the youngest, did not refuse and was willing to become an official.

"Everyone has their own ambitions and does not force it. In the future, Bingzhou will be your place to rest. But if you have the need, I hope you will speak out!" Zhao Xing did not force Bingyuan and Guan Ning, and left the people behind first. With his "No. 1 trafficker in Shangdang", as long as he is given time, Bingyuan and Guan Ning will be led to the civil service group in Bingzhou by him.

In one day, Zhao Xing was very happy and returned to the city lord's mansion. As for the few people who came to Bingzhou, they were placed in Yingbin Garden.

On the second day, a large plaque with the words "Taihang Academy" was sent to Bingyuan. A group of craftsmen and civilians also surrounded the door of Yingbinyuan. After inquiring, they found that it was sent by General Zhenbei. When Bingyuan saw Zhao Xing's words, he did not refuse. He took on the important task of building "Taihang Academy" without permission and led everyone up the mountain to choose a site.

After sobering up, Cui Yan received a letter of appointment. He was shocked when he opened it. He did not expect that Zhao Xing could give him such a large official - the prefect of Wuyuan County! Although the area is farther away, the population is smaller, and it is close to the cruel Xianbei people, this is also a dignified prefect. Most people cannot get into a position that they are not in their forties or fifties.

Since Zhao Xing dared to appoint the young Cui Yan as the prefect of Wuyuan, Cui Yan was not pretentious and picked up the appointment document and stood up to Wuyuan. He was eager to prove Zhao Xing's trust and vision with practical actions.
