Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 241 Speculators

end of April

Half a month has passed since Lingdi's death, and Xiong Yan has successfully expanded his territory from six counties in Xinye to 46 counties.

In addition to the local counties and counties in Nanyang, several counties have been expanded outwards, which seems very arrogant and domineering.

In fact, if we only look at military power, we can continue to fight, but there are not enough talents and not enough descendants.

"Preliminary statistics show that we now have a total population of 240 million, but the total number of descendants is only over 300. It is impossible for everyone to become mayor. As for talents who fully recognize our ideas from the bottom of their hearts, they have not yet been cultivated. Just use local people." Lu Yuhui reported.

Can local people be used?

Definitely available!

Some are available, some are not!

Again, there are always a lot of smart people.

These smart people will do anything to get promoted.As long as he can be promoted, it doesn't matter if he self-castrates himself as a eunuch.

In Liu Han during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a certain monarch directly stipulated that if you want to be an official, you can, first castrate.

At that time, Liu Han's imperial examination, after passing the exam, first went to a brothel to linger for a few days, then bravely castrated, and then became an official.

Of course, this point is rarely mentioned in the history books recorded by civil servants. You have to search specifically to find relevant records in an inconspicuous corner.

After all, the emperor directly tore off the face of the civil servants.

Facts have proved that many civil servants are a kind of existence as long as they can be promoted, even if they are castrated and become eunuchs.

They can all be eunuchs, so one can imagine how low the lower limit is.Therefore, anyone who understands this period of history will not be surprised at all that during the Ming and Song dynasties, civil servants took refuge in foreign races as traitors.

"Some speculators will definitely take our fancy, and their abilities are good enough to serve as the mayor. The only problem is that these people don't agree with our ideas from the bottom of their hearts." Lu Yu continued.

The descendants of the research institute and the management department, the three views are still very upright. No one thinks that their blood is noble, and no one thinks that they should be superior to others if they become descendants.

But in the eyes of the aborigines in the Three Kingdoms era, human beings were indeed divided into three, six, and nine classes.

The descendants enjoy the high-productivity life of the 21st century, and each of them is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. There are more good people, great benevolent people, and the Holy Mother.

In the Great Xia of the 21st century, there are indeed far more good people in the moral sense than in any previous era!

The bottom line and integrity are also much higher than the ancients.

"They will pretend to agree with our ideas, but in essence, the reason why they approve is not because they feel that the lives of ordinary people are their lives, but because they feel that they can be officials and Promoted."

So many scholars study Confucianism, not because they really love reading and love Confucianism, but because Confucianism can be an official!

After learning Confucianism, you can take the imperial examination, and if you pass the exam, you will be an official, and you will be superior to others from then on!
The vast majority of scholars study Confucianism only to become officials, so when future generations read history books, they will find that all of you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but you are full of money and beauties in your heart.

So-and-so, who claims to be a great scholar in the world, a giant in Donglin, turned out that the water was too cold.

So-and-so, known as a great loyal minister, said that the king's kindness is as deep as the sea, but he surrendered as soon as he turned around.

so and so...

There are too many examples like this. If you read too many, you will feel that Confucian scholars are shameless. Confucianism has original sin, but Confucianism is not good...

But in fact, it's not that there is a problem with Confucianism, but that the bad guys dress up as Confucian apprentices, which gives people the feeling that all Confucianists are villains and shameless.

People study Confucian classics not for the sake of being a gentleman, but because the imperial examinations examine Confucian classics.

If you exclude this group of speculators with Confucian identities from the ranks of Confucianism, you will find, oh, Confucianism is not as bad as you imagined, and there are still many good guys.

Such a phenomenon does not only exist in Confucianism, but also in all ages. Such a group of people are essentially speculators!
In the classical feudal era, Confucianism was a compulsory and only subject in the imperial examinations, so at that time, speculators pretended to be Confucian students, and they seemed to have studied Confucian classics seriously, and they could speak clearly and logically. Those who didn’t know really thought they were Confucian scholars are gentlemen.

But after they became officials, they exposed their true colors, began to be greedy, and began to steal money from the country.

In modern history, there were also a large group of speculators who participated in social changes for the sake of future prosperity and wealth.

They participate in social change, not because they really want to change society and benefit all people, but because they feel that social change has a future, and participating in it may lead to prosperity and wealth.

Even the current research institute is the same. There are more and more research talents in the research institute, but the atmosphere is getting more and more impetuous.

Many researchers don't want to settle down, and they don't want to study projects that take a long time to produce results. They only want to study results that can be produced in a few months or a month, so that they can quickly get a job title, so that they can quickly get promoted and make a fortune.

Especially after the Institute became a self-contained body, a large number of senior researchers returned from all over the country and even from abroad.

They came to the research institute not because they really love research and scientific research, but because today's research institute is the biggest outlet in the next era. As long as they come, they will make a fortune sooner or later.

But at this moment, Xiong Yan was faced with such a multiple-choice question: whether to let a group of speculators with the purpose of promotion and fortune become chief officials like the mayor.

Previously, the speculator could only be the deputy, and the mayor was the descendant himself.

But frankly speaking, the personal qualities of these speculators are actually quite excellent. In order to become officials, they can also endure hardships and stand hard work, and they can pretend to mingle with the common people.

"Strengthen the supervision and ensure that the descendants go to the town every few days." Xiong Yan said weakly.

"Also, ask Jiangju and the others, how is the research on conceptual gods doing?"

"Finally, strengthen the training of talents and reiterate our philosophy. They just want to be officials, and even if it is pretending, let me pretend for a longer time."

Anyway, within three years, it will definitely be possible to unify the big man, and then a large number of descendants will be able to descend directly.

With a population of tens of millions, and increasing productivity, it is easy to accommodate hundreds of thousands of descendants.

At that time, it will not be enough for the research institute and management staff alone, maybe it will have to be open to all college students...

At that time, isn't this a virtual reality game?

Can enter the Great Han Dynasty to study and study every night?
No, no, when the time comes, the hundreds of thousands of seats in Dahan will definitely be research institutes and management departments, but other county-level virtual worlds can indeed slowly open a few to the whole people.

Let the whole people's awareness of the virtual world be further improved.

Anyway, one year after the spiritual energy recovers, anyone who is talented can enter the imaginary world.

And the probability of talent is one in ten thousand, but this refers to a certain industry, how many industries are there in the whole country?

360 lines, every line produces the champion, out of the 1 people, there are also 360 champions?
Of course, it is not calculated like this in reality, but the proportion of talents must be more than imagined, far more than one in ten thousand.

At that time, even if it does not reach one percent, it is estimated to be about the same. At that time, the virtual world will really enter the lives of the whole people.

This is only one year later, what if it is ten years later?What about a hundred years from now?
Will all human beings on the earth be able to enter the imaginary world from a certain day?

Then, some people died because they were too desperate, and died every time they came to the virtual world. In the end, in just a few months, they tossed away their lifespan of dozens or hundreds of years?
Once this thought has diverged, it cannot be taken back.

Looking at Xiong Yan who was lost in thought, Lu Yu quietly left.Only Xiong Yan was left, still sitting here thinking about things...

……

end of April

Huang Zixing, a contemporary Shennong, showed his traces near Nanyang County and Yingchuan County, and was hunted down by the remnants of the Yellow Turban.

After hearing the news, the prefect of Nanyang summoned eight thousand soldiers from the local county to go to the rescue.The prefect of Yingchuan summoned [-] soldiers from the local county to go to the rescue, and the prefects nearby all called the soldiers from the county to go to the rescue.

It is said that there were so many remnants of the Yellow Turbans this time, and their combat power was so strong that Huang Zixing had to hide in the deep mountains with the skill of avoiding armor.

The prefects of various places, after entering the deep mountains, were frequently attacked by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. The prefects of Nanyang and Yingchuan were unfortunately killed. General He Jin paid close attention to this, and the General’s Office strongly condemned it...

According to some irresponsible gossip, these remnants of the Yellow Turbans are actually private soldiers of the Yingchuan Nanyang family. Their purpose of doing this is to prevent the imperial court from getting help from the contemporary Shennong Huang Zixing so quickly.Delay the time for Huang Zixing to enter Beijing, so as to put pressure on the court as much as possible.

According to some irresponsible gossip, Huang Zixing wanted to go to Luoyang a long time ago, but was imprisoned privately by the Nanyang family, and only recently found a chance to escape.

A Nanyang family member who did not disclose his name said: The above content is purely slander!

Then, an irresponsible gossip said: The reason why the Nanyang prefect died was because he was wholeheartedly for the great man, and he really wanted to find Huang Zixing and protect him from entering Beijing.Rather than wanting to kill Huang Zixing like some black-hearted prefects did.

In short, all kinds of rumors spread all over the sky for a while. Even though the General's Mansion had learned to refute rumors during the release process of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it only felt tired in the face of so many fake news.

The speed at which you refute the rumors will never catch up with the speed at which Chu Xuan and the local family publish small essays!

What's more, spreading rumors and dispelling rumors is a waste of time. The energy put in by both parties is not at the same level, and they are exhausted.

Then, another gossip came out, saying that the imperial court was playing a big game of chess. The purpose of this big game was to use Huang Zixing as an excuse to plow the aristocratic families in Nanyang and Yingchuan who were dissatisfied with the imperial court.

Banner faction

Mafia faction behind the scenes

Nanyang School

Yingchuan School

Aristocratic faction

big picture

In short, all kinds of factions, all kinds of analysis, all kinds of gossip, directly bombarded the people of Luoyang, and they couldn't find the southeast, northwest and north.

These people suddenly discovered that there are a lot of melons this year. In previous years, one melon could be eaten for half a year. Sometimes this year, there are several melons a day.

You are now saying that Liu Bei is going to rebel and become the emperor, and the people of Luoyang are not surprised, because there were similar melons a few days ago.

Now even if you say that Huang Wan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, is gathering troops and plans to go to the side of Luoyang Qingjun, kill the general, and after coercion, he will monopolize the power and establish a big man who belongs to the scholars alone, I also believe it.

Because, as early as seven days ago, there was relevant gossip.

Even if you say that Dong Zhuo wants to hold high the banner of being a warrior and march directly from Hedong all the way to Luoyang, I am no exception. After all, this is old news a month ago.

Anyway, now, the people of Luoyang only feel that no matter what happens, they will not be surprised anymore.

At the beginning of May, under the spread of many rumors, Lu Zhi personally led a certain branch of Taoist soldiers from the fifth school of the Northern Army to the deep mountains and old forests to rescue Huang Zixing.

Under the protection of the Northern Army, there are still many daring people who attack the Northern Army directly. There have been several times when bandits with a scale of hundreds of people attacked the Northern Army.

As for the incidents of a few sporadic people, or a team of dozens of people attacking the Northern Army, there are too many to count.

Fortunately, the Northern Army is the Northern Army after all, and it is trustworthy. When the time came to mid-May, Huang Zixing finally arrived in Luoyang City under the personal protection of the Northern Army.

"This journey is really not peaceful!" Looking at the majestic Luoyang City, Huang Zixing patted his chest in fear.

"Don't worry, sir, this is Luoyang, it's safe." Lu Zhi said with a smile.

Since this journey, Lu Zhi has communicated with Huang Zixing many times.He found that Huang Zixing was not only a talent in agriculture, but his views on many things, although somewhat ungrounded, were exceptionally unexpected and often inspired.

As for being out of touch, that's normal.After all, Huang Zixing had never been an official before, but it was his unique point of view that made him gain a lot.

"Sir is finally here." This is He Jin.

Hearing this, Huang Zixing saw a heroic and powerful man. He knew that this was General He Jin and He Jin. The latter is Liu Bian, the son of today.

Around Liu Bian, there are a large number of young talents such as Xun Yu, Xun Youdian, Wei Xu, Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce, most of whom come from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

There are also Sangong Jiuqing nearby, as well as many scholars and local people in Luoyang who came to watch the fun.

This welcome standard is indeed high enough.

Looking at the specification in front of him, Huang Zixing stroked his beard pretendingly, and said, "I am a person from the frontier, and I never expected to be so valued by the court."

As he said that, Huang Zixing clapped his hands, and groups of soldiers appeared in front of everyone carrying large vats one after another.

In fact, it was these big tanks that Lu Zhi was protecting.The people who came to watch were also the seeds in these big vats!

"These big vats contain my hard work over the years. There are high-yield rice and spiritual rice..."
