The next day, Cai Yong called his most proud disciple Gu Yong to his mansion and introduced him to Guo Peng.

I don’t have a deep memory of Gu Yong and Guo Peng, which is the impression of a prime minister of Wu.

The other specific matters about Gu Yong are not clear, but being able to be introduced to him by Cai Yong alone shows that Cai Yong is indeed very satisfied with this disciple.

"Gu Yong has met Guo Fujun."

Gu Yong's etiquette is very appropriate and he is very regular at first glance. He probably doesn't want Guo Peng, a famous scholar in the Central Plains, to look down on him.

"Yuan Tan please get up."

Guo Peng reached out to help Gu Yong and said, "Mr. Cai has been in refuge in Jiangdong for ten years. Thanks to the care of the scholars in Jiangdong, I want to thank you."

Guo Peng stood up and bowed to Gu Yong. Gu Yong hurriedly returned the gift, saying that he didn't dare.

Then the two sat down, Cai Yong introduced Gu Yong's talent and academic status, and intentionally or unintentionally said that Gu Yong was already an adult and was seeking an official position.

Guo Peng felt strange in his heart.

The scholars of Jiangdong must have chosen Jiangdong first. There are their forces and networks here. Your family summoned my children, and my family summoned your children, and they came to each other to divide all the official positions in Jiangdong to maintain the situation of Jiangdong people.

There are very few local gentry in Jiangdong who went to the north to serve as officials. The four major families of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang seem to be famous only. They are very famous and have gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains. However, even so, Jiangdong people rarely went to the north to serve as officials.

There are relatively profound factors of regional discrimination, and this is unreasonable to be said.

The Central Plains were developed earlier than the south and had a prosperous culture earlier. The south was still a wilderness in its early years. Without development, its cultural economy was not as good as the north, so it was naturally discriminated against and even called the Southern Barbarians.

The central power of the Eastern Han government was basically controlled by the scholars of Kanto, that is, several states in the Central Plains, and they had the advantage of convenient transportation.

There are very few people in the central government offices in remote prefectures and counties, and they are easily excluded by the Kanto scholars who are huddling together, making it difficult to survive.

Over time, scholars from remote areas gathered together in the local area. If we didn’t go to the central government, you wouldn’t think of seizing our territory, thus forming such a barrier.

But as the bottom of the discrimination chain of gentry, if they want to go to Luoyang to become officials in a place with prosperous cultural heritage, they must be willing to do so, even if they are Luopiao.

Many people have experienced such things.

For example, Jia Xu, as a scholar in Guanxi, had nothing to do with him and could not stand it. He could only return to his hometown in Guanxi in shame, and Luo Piao failed.

When people from economically developed areas come to remote small villages, they will definitely feel a sense of superiority. Even if they are here to escape, as long as they have some skills, they are afraid that no one will give them money?

They just think that people are stupid and come quickly.

The scholars in Jiangdong must also want to be officials in the Central Plains, but under the circumstances of regional discrimination, they rarely get such opportunities, not that there is no, but that there is very little.

On the contrary, a large number of Central Plains scholars went to their territory to become senior officials and leaders, and the Jiangdong people naturally accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.

So Guo Peng thought about it and felt that Cai Yong introduced Gu Yong to him alone, as if he had no intention.

Thinking of this, Guo Peng felt that he was indeed very attractive to the scholars in Jiangdong.

I have a relationship in Luoyang. My father was the prime minister of Pei in Pei State and I was the prefect of Youzhou. I did have a very advantage.

Of course, the last one should only be considered an investment point, and the real attractive one is Lu Zhi, the teacher who was the Shangshu Ling in Luoyang and his father who was Pei Xiang in Pei Kingdom.

So Guo Peng had a conversation with Gu Yong. During the conversation, Guo Peng found that Gu Yong had learned a lot of knowledge about herders in governing the local area and had mastered it well.

I think it is obvious that he will be the prime minister in the future not only because of his family background, but also has a high level of talent.

With a little experience, you can become a county magistrate, a county magistrate, or even a state governor. If you rely on your family background, you can enter the central government and take advantage of your age and dominate the national affairs.

At this time, the people of Jiangdong did not know that the real chaos would soon come, and they still felt that it was great to go out to be an official, and it was no big deal to stay in the local area.

As a child of the top gentry in Jiangdong, Gu Yong obviously wanted to look at the Han Dynasty.

Although there is nothing happening in Guo Peng's plan now or in the future. Jiangdong cannot become his basic base, will not serve him, and will not develop completely. There are many wild places, so he does not attach importance to Jiangdong.

However, if you can get in touch with the Jiangdong gentry, you may not encounter useful times in the future. For example, letting the Jiangdong scholars become their own old officials, it might be a good first move.

After talking to Gu Yong for a while and learning about his talent, Guo Peng thought carefully. Considering the uncertain future situation and giving Cai Yong face, Guo Peng also invited Gu Yong.

The scholars in Jiangdong should have some understanding that it is not easy to become an official in the Central Plains, and things that can be accomplished overnight are very difficult. How can you be simply recommended to become an official in a prosperous area without a certain amount of investigation?

Therefore, Guo Peng's invitation to Gu Yong was under his command.

"I understand Yuan Tan's talent. No wonder everyone says that Jiangdong has talents. I don't know that Yuan Tan has such talent, but there are officials?"

Gu Yong immediately cheered up.

"I just learned that I dare not be a rash official and do not delay national affairs, otherwise I will be blamed even if I die."

Gu Yong was polite.

"Don't be polite to Yuan Tan. With Yuan Tan's talent and knowledge, how can it be a blessing to the common people? How can it delay major issues?"

Guo Peng smiled, then changed his subject: "I'm not to be ignorant of Yuanshang, before, I was appointed as the prefect of Shanggu County by Your Majesty. Shanggu County is a border county with few people and large land and lacking talents. Since I was appointed, there are still many subordinates who have no suitable candidates.

I want to summon people in this county, but it can't be done. It takes a lot of time to summon people in this state, but the county affairs must be done. Yuan Tan is talented and knowledgeable. I am very happy. Now that I have a vacant position as the chief clerk. I wonder if Yuan Tan is willing to surrender?"

The chief clerk of the county prefect, like Gongcao Supervisor, belonged to the "right Cao" and was the position of the confidant of the prefect.

From the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the chief clerk also changed greatly. Of course, the most important thing is that the chief clerk follows the prefect, which is the most important point.

Gu Yong was very happy when he heard this, and immediately stood up and came to Guo Peng to give a deep bow.

"Yong Cai is a little unfamiliar with his studies, and Meng Ming Gong never abandons him. He is willing to work with Ming Gong to achieve success."

"Okay! Hahaha! I am so happy to get Yuantan! Today, I will drink a thousand cups with Yuantan!"

Guo Peng laughed out loud.

That night, Guo Peng and Gu Yong were drinking in Cai Yong's mansion. Cai Yong called his servants to play music and dance, and the three of them drank very happily together.

After three rounds of drinking, Guo Peng's belly swelled and went out to relieve his hands. Seeing that Guo Peng had left temporarily, Gu Yong stood up and walked to Cai Yong, and bowed to Cai Yong.
