Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 614 Recruitment and Training

"Sit down." Yan Xu put down the Taoist scripture in his hand, waved his hand for Liu Bei to sit down, and the maid beside him served tea.

Tea in the Han Dynasty was mainly boiled, although it was not as outrageous as the Tang Dynasty when even animal oil was added to the stew, onions, ginger and orange peels were also indispensable.

Yan Xu, who couldn't accept it, still focused on fried tea, but after drinking it a few times, Liu Bei also liked the taste.

After hearing Liu Bei's intention, Yan Xu was also a little troubled.

The matter in Zhuo County was nothing to him. Once his spiritual sense was awakened, it was like turning on a God's perspective and a cheat. Everything within a hundred miles was in his mind, no matter how big or small. The wind and rain rose and fell, the flowers bloomed and bore fruit, it was all in his mind.

But this is meaningless, he didn't come here to show off in front of people.

Moreover, Liu Bei's power will definitely expand. He is not Zhuge Liang, and he doesn't want to devote his whole life to the country. Therefore, it is imperative to build a team for his uncle.

As for giving up some of the time here to concentrate on practicing Taoism, Yan Xu did not intend to do so.

Whether it is Tianxin consciousness or the system, it allows him to avoid spending a lot of time on comprehending the world and accumulating mana. Instead, constantly experiencing the world is more helpful for him to improve his realm.
Moreover, Liu Bei was one of the three main characters in the late Han Dynasty, and he had many capable ministers and generals under him. Since everyone was so familiar with each other, it was normal to help solve the problem of posthumous employment. The Ten Yin Marshals might not be able to place the Five Tiger Generals, so he didn't mind spending a little more time.

But it is still too early now. Many of the counselors and generals are either little kids or have not grown up yet.

After thinking about it, there are still a few people who can be found in advance, so Yan Xu arranged Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, and the idle Jian Yong to recruit talents.

It's a pity that after this world was disturbed by Zhang Jiao, the secrets of the world became chaotic and divination became useless, otherwise it wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

Liu Bei also posted a notice to recruit talents, since the more talents the better.

Although Yan Xu decided on the recruitment list, many of them were just trying their luck because there were too many uncertainties.

First of all, this world is much larger than the late Han Dynasty in real history. There are also some messy factors that make it difficult to find people. In addition, due to the characters' personalities, it is considered good if we can recruit three or five people.

However, Yan Xu forgot one thing, that is, Liu Bei is no longer an unknown person.

Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are known as the three most famous generals of the time. Some people also call Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian the three good generals.

Cao Cao had someone behind him who naturally built up momentum for him, and Liu Bei also had people from Lu Zhi's circle to help him. In addition, as he was a relative of the Han royal family, as long as anyone with the surname Liu said something to praise him, even Sun Jian's reputation in the Jiangdong area would increase greatly.

Ma Teng brought his entire family and traveled all the way from Liangzhou to Youzhou to meet Liu Bei who was handling official business.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this was the talent his teacher had asked someone to recruit, so even though he had never heard of this person, he still hurried to meet him.

As one of the three giants of the future and the only one who rose from the grassroots, Liu Bei's personal charm is self-evident. Ma Teng, who was originally a little nervous, soon felt relieved by the other party's enthusiasm for talking to him.

Liu Bei also took the opportunity to observe this person carefully, nodded, and thought to himself that he was indeed the talent that the gentleman had specifically named.

Ma Teng claimed to be a descendant of General Ma Yuan, the Fu Bo General. His father, Ma Ping, once served as the Lan Gan Wei of Tianshui. Later, he lost his office and stayed in Longxi County, marrying a Qiang woman, which shows that he was in a poor situation.

Therefore, when Ma Teng was young, he was not only poor, but also had no property. He often cut wood from Zhangshan and carried it to the city to sell in order to support himself. His life was not much better than Liu Bei's before.

Liu Bei sighed deeply and talked about his days of weaving mats and selling shoes. This not only resonated with Ma Teng, but also made him feel deeply fond of him.

Liu Bei, who now had someone behind him, was no longer the same person he used to be. With a wave of his hand, he gave a small village near Zhangjiazhuang to Ma Teng to settle down.

Although the manor was not big, it had dozens of people and two or three hundred acres of land, which made the poor Ma Teng become a small landlord. At least his family had enough food and clothing, and he also gained his loyalty. At this time, Ma Teng had not yet made a name for himself. He had accomplished nothing, so naturally he did not have high expectations for the future. It can be seen from the fact that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang only said a few words to him and asked him to come to him with his family.

However, this may not be a bad thing. Ma Teng lost his original opportunity after leaving Liangzhou and could not become a warlord, but at least he would not be killed by his filial son.

Given Liu Bei's character, even if Ma Chao rebelled, he would not kill Ma Teng's family, so he could be considered to have escaped a disaster.

Ma Teng was a talented person, but not good enough, so Liu Bei took him to attend classes.

"The teacher will give a lecture once every ten days. Don't miss it." Liu Bei asked Ma Teng to change into the new clothes he brought specially, and personally helped him tidy up his clothes. Ma Teng was moved and filled with curiosity about this gentleman, because he had heard that it was this gentleman who sent someone to find him.

Ever since Yan Xu moved into Zhang's peach garden, the peach trees have been in bloom all year round and the flowers never wither. No matter when you come, you can see peach blossoms falling and blooming with the wind.

At this time, curtains were set up in the peach forest and incense was lit, adding a solemn atmosphere.

Guan and Zhang had been waiting here for a long time, and Jian Yong also changed into neat clothes and hurried over with a strong middle-aged man.

Everyone met and greeted each other, and also got to know the new arrivals Ma Teng and Huang Zhong.

Compared to Ma Teng, who has been at the bottom of society until now, the oldest Huang Zhong, although unsuccessful, also holds an official position and is willing to come here. In addition to the fact that Jian Yong is good at speaking, the main reason is that he promised to help him solve his worries.

Although he was somewhat anxious, the current atmosphere made Huang Zhong unable to help but calm down and not dare to disturb the owner of this place.

Following the sound of a bell, everyone began to enter the venue, and then sat down behind a low table in the middle of the venue. It was only then that Huang Zhong and Ma Teng saw the appearance of the owner of this place.

Wearing a purple gold crown and a worry-free crane cloak.

The shoes are on the feet, and the ribbon is tied around the waist.

The body is like a boy's appearance, and the face is like a beautiful woman.

Three whiskers float under his chin, and crow feathers fold on his temples.

This is what Yan Xu looks like now. To put it simply, he is dressed exactly like the Immortal Zhenyuan.

There are masters who dress up as beggars, but if you don’t show some skills, don’t expect the other party to believe that you are a master.

With Yan Xu's attire, looks, and temperament, he has to light three incense sticks in front of his phone and kneel down to watch the live broadcast, otherwise his sincerity will not appear.

It is common sense to judge people by their appearance. Yan Xu has no intention of learning from Jigong. It would be best if he could save some words in convincing people.

As expected, as soon as he appeared, there was a sudden silence. Even Huang Zhong, who had something on his mind, took the initiative to tidy up his appearance, not wanting to be rude.

Yan Xu explained to everyone the strategies of the art of war, as well as historical books and Taoist scriptures, all in order to allow them to be better trained. After they have gained enough experience in the human world, they will go to the underworld to take up positions. What matters is a seamless transition.

Living and working until old age means nothing. For Yan Xu, death is the real starting point of his career.

Yan Xu's subordinates in Japan have a deep understanding of this. They are busy with human affairs during the day and work part-time in the underworld at night. After death, their bodies are transformed into zombies to move bricks, while their souls do the underworld work all day, making the best use of everything and eliminating waste.

Thinking that death will put an end to everything and that you can rest in peace and not have to work anymore, it's funny, how is that possible? All the cemeteries in Japan have been converted into zombie dormitories, where corpses lie there during the day and move bricks at night. Otherwise, there's not even any incense or candles to eat, let alone paper money.
