Overlord!

Chapter 128
Sun Ce and his group traveled and soon arrived at Minghe Township, Juzhang County.

Under the guard of dozens of iron cavalry, everyone walked slowly on the land of Jiangnan with green mountains and green waters.

In this land, there are no wars and wars, and the scenery is really pleasant. The distant mountains are like Daisy, the wheat fields are green, and there are farmers from family to family busy with their wives and belts between the fields.

Watching all this makes people feel refreshed and involuntarily relaxed.

And Jiang Qin followed Sun Ce and asked, "General, why are you so leisurely? A large number of scholars and officials are angry, neglecting government affairs, and obstructing governance. Are you not worried at all?"

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Don't worry at all. Their biggest mistake is that they chose the wrong time for this confrontation. Jiangdong was initially settled, and people's minds were at peace. They fought against me and me for a gangster collusion, and abandoned government affairs. You How do you think the people will see them?"

"Will that affect people's livelihood?" Jiang Qin asked worriedly.

Sun Ce still smiled and said: "Jiangdong has just stabilized, and no matter how chaotic it is, I am afraid it will not be more chaotic than before. But this time the attack on the powerful and the aristocratic family is conducive to long-term peace and stability. After this time, they formed a clique and caused chaos. If you lose the hearts of the people, it will be difficult for these famous people to reunite with the people next time."

Jiang Qin was just angry, and said: "These celebrities call hundreds or thousands of people at every turn to influence the local area, and even threaten to resign. If they don't kill them, it will be a disaster sooner or later."

"Don't always think about fighting and killing. If killing can solve everything, then Dong Zhuo should be in charge of the government now. Do you know what is the biggest difference between ordinary people and ordinary people in Xiliang?"

"What is it?" Jiang Qin was puzzled.

"Ordinary people have thoughts, but ordinary people in Xiliang only know how to kill people. They kill people when they do everything! Taxes, people kill people. Government affairs, people kill people. Even recruiting talents, they still want to kill people!"

"Isn't that good? I think Cai Zhonglang enjoys it." Jiang Qin whispered.

Cai Zhonglang, also known as Zuo Zhonglang general Cai Yong, was the father of Cai Wenji, a talented woman through the ages. Dong Zhuo enlisted him, but he was unwilling to accept it. So Dong Zhuo threatened to kill his entire clan, but he responded.

Sun Ce said with a smile: "So this shows one thing, as long as you have a talent selection method, no matter how bad it is, even more barbaric than the barbarians, there will be people who will apply for the recruitment and participate in the selection."

"Ah?" Jiang Qin's brain is obviously at the same jumping speed as Sun Ce's. In his eyes, the talent selection mechanism is only the selection of sages.

From the beginning of the rule of the former kings, Zhu Xia has always implemented the method of recruiting sages, recruiting sages, and governing the country.

This set has been practiced for thousands of years.

Of course, Sun Ce didn't want to change the idea of ​​​​this system. The ability to select talents is an instinct deep in human genes.

Even if it takes another 2000 years before human beings break out of the Milky Way, this system will continue to be widely passed down in human civilized society.

Sun Ce does not plan to change the core of this system, but Sun Ce thinks that how to define the standard of meritocracy can be quantified.

You can't rely on one mouth for everything, can you?
You Sheng Xian thinks that Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu are all talents, so they can be prefects and governors.

Then Xu Zhao still thinks that his son and student are the talents of Wang Zuo, so can he be a minister of the court?

Under the current prosecution system, this is really the case.

For example, Zhu Zhi recently felt that the little guy Sun Quan was more filial, and planned to make this 15-year-old kid a filial piety, and then go to serve as a county magistrate or county magistrate.

This is really no joke, if Sun Ce hadn't stopped him, Sun Quan must have been on this year's Xiaolian list.

But this 15-year-old kid knows how to govern, so he was appointed as the county magistrate, and he forced the little official to help him embezzle the wealth in the treasury for playing and buying toys for himself.

If this can be considered a talent, Sun Ce thinks that the skin of his feet can also be considered a talent.

"Stop it. Find someone to ask where is Yu Fan's house."

Yu Fan's father used to be the prefect of the Han Dynasty, and he was the meritorious officer of Kuaiji County. This is the most prominent family in Minghe Township.

How prominent is it?
This township is famous to the enemy country because of him, everyone in Wei country knows that there is a great sage in Jiangdong, Yu Fan, who lives in Minghe Township.

When Emperor Wen of Wei and Cao Pi held a banquet to celebrate, there would usually be an empty seat for Yu Fan at the banquet.The seats were placed among the ministers, and all the dishes were served, but they were left empty for Yu.

What's more, when Chen Shou wrote history books, he could remember that Yu Fan lived in Minghe Township.

It seems that except for Zhuge Liang, no one else has this treatment.

At present, Yu Fan is also well-known in the countryside.

When Jiang Qin went to inquire casually, a farmer greeted him warmly and said, "My lord, are you going to find Master Yu? I'll take you to Master Yu's house."

Adults mean everyone's right.

He saw that Sun Ce was wearing a brocade robe and was very wealthy, so he thought that Sun Ce was a hero from Jiangdong.

Sun Ce didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you, old man."

"It should be, it should be. Master Yu has a great kindness to us, and it is our honor to serve him." The other party's dark face immediately squeezed out a bright smile, and walked in front of him after finishing speaking. Sun Ce led the way.

Sun Ce asked curiously, "Why do you call him Master Yu?"

"Because he opened a school in the village to teach our children knowledge, and there are more than a hundred disciples. Isn't this worthy of the title of teacher?"

Sun Ce laughed, feeling quite interesting, Zhu Xia really deserves to be the chosen family whose style of writing has been passed down for thousands of years.

Across 2000 years of history, it still does not change its meaning of inheritance.

The school has been passed down from the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties to the modern times of the country.

But this is indeed related to the Central Plains' emphasis on education since ancient times.

Liu Fu, the most famous governor of Yangzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, had just established Hefei City and restored a little vitality. He was still farming, and he had already started to set up schools and popularize education.

Before Sun Ce's army entered Jiangdong, he began to teach the soldiers to write and explain the art of war to the generals.

And Yu Fan, a great talent, started to set up a school just after returning to his hometown to preach and teach his disciples.

Led by the old man, the group soon arrived at Yu Fan's house outside the city.

Yu Fan's father died early, and there was only his mother in the family, so he did not build a Wubao, but lived with the clan in the village.

At present, the mobility of the people is still weaker. If there are two hundred households in a mile, if there is no holiday, there will be no strangers in one mile for many years. They are all relatives of the same clan.

If a guy with beards and a general's belly suddenly appeared, he was still sneaky, and he didn't dare to communicate with others in a big way.

The next day the pavilion chief and county officials had to come to inquire.

As for Sun Ce and his party, everyone rode tall horses and wore splendid costumes. This traveling style was astonishing.

In a rough analogy, driving a sports car in later generations should not have this effect.

It is equivalent to a teacher who is giving a lecture in class when dozens of helicopters arrive suddenly, and a group of elite soldiers descend from above, put on the most stylish cloak on the teacher who is giving a lecture, and say to him: "Mr. , now the organization needs you, come with us to save the world!"

Anyway, as the cavalry arrived, the sound of reading in the school was suddenly broken, and dozens of children ran to the windows and fences to watch the cavalry outside the house.

No matter how much Yu Fan's disciples scolded, they couldn't maintain order.

Even the elders and women in Lizhong joined in the fun to watch, hiding at the entrance of the alley and beside the trees and pointing here.

Jiang Qin knocked on the door and said: "General Mi Kou and Sun Ce, the prefect of Kuaiji, came to visit Yu Jun."

"Sun Lang!"

"Sun Lang, it's actually Sun Lang!"

"This is Sun Lang? He is really so young and talented."

The surrounding crowd suddenly went into an uproar, and countless people rushed forward even more eagerly.

Because of Sun Ce's strict military discipline and benevolent treatment of the people, Jiangdong's elders felt proud of him.Even if Sun Ce has the rank of general and prefect, the scholars and people like to call him Wei Sun Lang.Sun Lang of our Jiangdong.

Sun Ce also had a smile on his face in the crowd, he was naturally fond of laughing, and the people who saw it would not be willing to die for it.

He has the hearts of the people, so why is he afraid of threats from a few powerful and famous people?
Hearing Sun Lang shouting from outside, the door was quickly opened.

A tall scholar came to the front of the house, cupped his hands to Sun Ce, and said, "Sun Lang's visit will make the humble house luxuriant, please come in."

Everyone outside the house also looked at the tall gentleman curiously. Is this Yu Fan, a well-known celebrity in Jiangdong?How easy-going?

Jiang Qin muttered next to Sun Ce: "I thought he would play a trick of arrogance of a scholar who concentrates on teaching and doesn't know about foreign affairs. I didn't expect that he came out so easily. He doesn't have any plans?"

But he is a strong general, he thinks his voice is quiet, but it is actually quite loud.

Sun Ce glared at him. Are you Jiang Qin possessed by Zhang Fei?
But Yu Fan didn't take it seriously at all, and smiled brightly: "Haha, I thought about it, but the students all ran out to see Sun Lang, and I sat behind the table by myself, wouldn't that be ridiculous?"

Sun Ce's eyes lit up, it's no wonder Yu Fan can become the little overlord's big baby. With this style of joking and talking, the two are confidants and congenial.

Yu Fan, who has not yet turned into a fanatic, is indeed a high-spirited and interesting character.

Afterwards, Sun Ce followed Yu Fan into the mansion, and Yu Fan did not dismiss the students because of Sun Ce's visit, and told the students: "The students probably can't calm down now, so you can take them to practice martial arts. It just so happens that Sun Lang's personal guard is also there, so you can ask him for advice."

Sun Ce smiled and waved to the guards. Immediately, several guards were smiling and followed a group of teenagers with bows and clubs to the school field behind the house.

It can be seen that the Yu family still has the background of being a public official and a wealthy official. Not only is there a training ground for martial arts behind the mansion, but there are even archery targets, sticks, swords, etc., but it is a pity that there are no horses.

When he was in a state of desperation, he and Wang Lang floated far away, and the princes had to walk, and it was too difficult to get a horse.

After Sun Ce and Yu Fan entered the hall and sat down as guests and hosts, they asked with a smile, "The youngsters taught by you still want to practice martial arts?"

Yu Fan nodded, and then replied with a smile: "Students really need to practice literature and martial arts every day. I have experienced the invincibility and invincible spirit of Sun Lang's army on the battlefield. I am deeply touched. This troubled world is not peaceful, only Wenzhi It is obviously insufficient, and it needs to be quelled by force."

What kind of learning player is this?
After suffering a loss, I immediately learn from it and learn from it.

With this kind of talent, even if it is only a mediocre person at first, it will soon grow into an all-rounder like Prime Minister Zhuge.

Sun Ce approved and praised: "It is true that both civil and martial arts are needed. With such a teacher who can teach them, these students will become pillars of talent in the future."

"However, I don't quite agree with your theory of governing a troubled world. Conquering the world is easy, but defending the world is difficult. Not only do you need force to calm down a troubled world, but you also need to defend it with force. Therefore, when governing the world, you need to be unpretentious."

Yu Fan didn't think it was weird either. In his impression, such words seemed to come from a heroic general like Sun Lang.

So Yu Fan said: "The general is a famous general in the world, and if he governs Jiangdong, Jiangdong will become a heroic style."

Sun Ce shook his head and said, "It's not enough to have martial arts alone. If there is no foundation, martial arts is just a passing trend. It's here today and gone tomorrow. It can't be a long-term plan."

Yu Fan was surprised, did Sun Lang really want to discuss martial arts with him?

He straightened his face immediately, and asked solemnly: "Then how does Sun Lang think it can be the foundation of martial arts?"

Sun Ce didn't answer immediately, but asked back: "Do you know Wang Jingxing's recent situation?"

Wang Jingxing was Wang Lang, the former prefect of Kuaiji. After all, he was the former master of Yu Fan, and it was not easy for Sun Ce to call him by his first name.

Yu Fan nodded and said: "The prince is now exiled in the south of Kuaiji, wandering and impoverished, never looking for day and night, but he still receives sympathy from his relatives, gives more to relatives, and asks less from relatives. His moral deeds are remarkable."

Because of this, Yu Fan returned to Kuaiji from Wang Lang. In addition to honoring his mother, he also wanted not to drag the old master down.

Sun Ce said: "I once ordered Shi Zhang Zhao, the important minister, to go to conquer, but he didn't want to be an official."

Yu Fan pondered for a moment, and couldn't comment on what the old master had done.

But Sun Ce didn't want Yu Fan to invite Wang Lang, but instead asked, "Wang Jingxing's talent was named Xiaolian and Maocai successively. Why?"

Yu Fan immediately replied firmly: "The prince is famous all over the world for his mastery of scriptures, so he is naturally a talented person."

But Sun Ce asked decisively: "If you know the classics, you can be regarded as a talented person? Then what should you be promoted if you know the art of war?"

Yu Fan was at a loss for words, thought for a while, and said: "If you really know the art of war, you will be a talent in the world. You should also be promoted as a talented person and a virtuous person for the country."

Sun Ce clapped his palms and said, "Goodness! You are indeed a humble gentleman, and you speak up for justice."

"I think the root of the martial arts atmosphere lies in the method of selecting scholars. If martial arts is the same as studying the scriptures, and both are necessary for becoming an official, then the martial arts atmosphere will persist."

"Before you were a meritorious officer, you were in charge of the selection of talented people and the promotion of officials. I came here today to discuss with you the method of selecting scholars in Jiangdong."

Jiangdong's method of selecting scholars?

With the different criteria for selecting talents laid out by Sun Ce, Yu Fan has been able to adapt to a slightly different perspective from the recruitment system.

Nai asked, "How does Sun Lang want to get a scholar?"

Sun Ce said, "It's similar to Gongcao!"
