Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 112: Nine top talents in Yingchuan, the Li family's wealth surges

Li Hong generously offered official positions in Yangdi City, the capital of Yingchuan, which caused quite a stir among the Yingchuan families.

Many self-proclaimed talented people from aristocratic families came to participate in the examination, but they all wanted to become county magistrates.

It’s no wonder that the noble families are not calm, it’s because the promises Li Hong made are too exciting.

Li Hong was quite satisfied with the reaction of the talented people from Yingchuan.

After all, this is the best opportunity to recruit talents before the world falls into chaos.

After the world is in chaos, all kinds of ambitious people will emerge, and at that time, these talents will also swell.

If Li Hong wants to recruit these talents again, it will not be as easy as it is now.

Now Li Hong just wanted to hold her in his arms before the world became chaotic.

Li Hong valued the talents in Yangdi City and did not leave immediately. Instead, he decided to keep the recruited talents in his pocket.

Gao Lan and Yan Liang were ordered to lead the Beiwei Army to continue advancing towards Xu County in the southeast.

Li Hong and Jia Xu stayed in Yangdi City for two days to assess the talents of Yingchuan.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

In front of the Yangdi city gate.

Yingchuan County Magistrate Li Min, as well as a number of Yingchuan family heads and Yingchuan talents came out to see Li Hong off.

Li Hong, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Xiao Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai were riding horses. In the distance there were the Beiwei Army cavalrymen, who were fully armed and exuding powerful momentum.

"General Li, you must pay attention to your safety when you go to fight the Yellow Turbans. Let the young men lead the charge while the old general is in command. This is what the people of Han want to see." Yingchuan County Magistrate Li Min said to Li Hong with respect and concern.

"Haha, I understand my health. Thank you County Magistrate Li for your concern. Thank you County Magistrate Li for your warm hospitality and cooperation these days, which have allowed me to recruit many talented people." Li Hong stroked his gray beard and said to Li Min with satisfaction and gratitude.

What Li Hong said was not just superficial courtesy. Li Hong's favorable impression of Li Min increased a lot.

It was indeed because of Li Min's full cooperation and even persuasion of the Yingchuan family that he was able to recruit many talents.

These days, the most outstanding talents he recruited are:

The Xun family has four top talents, namely: Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Xun You, and Xun Kan.

The top talent of the Xin family: Xin Pi.

The Guo family’s top talent: Little Guo Jia.

The Chen family’s top talent: Chen Qun.

The Du family’s top talent: Du Xi.

Top talents from poor families: Xi Zhong and Xi Zhicai.

These are the nine top talents that Li Hong has gained in Yangdi City this time. Li Hong is really satisfied.

With nine top talents joining his team, he has nine more pillars under his command.

There has been a significant improvement in internal affairs and strategy.

Of course, except for the nine top talents, all of them hold the position of county magistrate or trainee military advisor.

With the strong support of Yingchuan County Magistrate Li Min, a total of 63 outstanding Yingchuan talents also joined Li Hong's team.

With so many talented people caught in the trap, Li Hong was in a very good mood.

"Haha, old general, you don't have to say that. Although I am helping old General Li, I, Li Min, as the governor of Yingchuan County, have secured six county magistrates and three Beiwei Army military advisors for the Yingchuan noble families, which also made the Yingchuan noble families grateful to me." "Even in the future, when these talented people have made contributions under the command of old General Li, I will also have political achievements, right?"

Yingchuan County Magistrate Li Min smiled respectfully at Li Hong.

"Haha, I like to hear that. In the future, you and the Yingchuan Li family can get closer to me, after all, we have the same surname, Li."

Li Hong stroked his gray beard and spoke meaningfully to Yingchuan County Magistrate Li Min.

When Yingchuan County Magistrate Li Min heard Li Hong's words, he was immediately overjoyed.

Li Min was very shocked when he saw Li Hong give away six county magistrate positions in a row, and he had a deep understanding of Li Hong's ability.

You know, Li Hong had said before that if he worked in the promised county magistrate position for three to five years, he would most likely be promoted to county governor.

Six county magistrates!

This is so exciting.

Li Hong promised that the Yingchuan Li family behind him, Li Min, could be close to the Li Hong family, which made Li Min very happy.

Li Hong looked at the heads of the Xun, Guo, Chen, and Xin families who came out to see him off, as well as Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Xun Kan, Xin Pi, Chen Qun, Du Xi, and dozens of other talented people, and said with a smile:
"Please stay, all the family heads. As for you, wait until Mi Zhu of the Mi family leads the baggage train to catch up. Then you will follow Mi Zhu's people to Bingzhou. I have already made arrangements for you."

This time, except for Xiao Guo Jia, Xun You and Xi Zhicai who have been selected to serve as trainee military advisors and enter the Beiwei Army, the others are all internal affairs talents. Li Hong will arrange for them to go to Bingzhou or become county magistrates, or hold official positions in the county.

Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Xun Kan, Xin Pi, Chen Qun, Du Xi and dozens of other talented people looked at each other, and then did not hesitate to salute Li Hong and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, let's go, head south!" Li Hong took another look at the talented people around him, waved his hand and said to Dian Wei, Jia Xu, little Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai.

"Master, father, you guys go back. Jia will take good care of himself and study hard in the army to complete his education." Little Guo Jia waved to the people from the Guo family who were seeing him off, and spoke loudly to his father Guo Huanxi, trying to suppress the itchiness in his nose.

Guo Jia's father, Guo Huanxi, already had tears in his eyes, but he still waved his hands very vigorously.

He did not belong to the direct line of the Yingchuan Guo family, but he understood that his son was intelligent since childhood, and this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his son Guo Jia to bring honor to the family and have a bright future.

"go!"

Li Hong shouted, turned his horse's head, and everyone followed. Hundreds of cavalrymen of the Beiwei Army who were responsible for guarding in the distance also followed.

Looking at the figures of Li Hong and others walking away, the heads of the noble families in front of the Yangdi City gate seemed quite emotional.

The head of the Xun family said with emotion:
"Although General Li is a hundred years old, he is still strong and vigorous. He is healthier and more energetic than young people in their twenties or thirties. The future of the Longxi Li family is limitless!"

The head of the Xun family sighed with emotion, and the heads of the surrounding Chen family, Xin family and other families all nodded and agreed with him when they thought of the Li family's powerful Beiwei Army and the Li family's potential after pacifying the Yellow Turbans, taking control of Bingzhou and conquering the grassland.

"It's your Xun family that's doing great this time. Three county magistrates and a military advisor position for the Beiwei Army. The Xun family should be very proud!"

Suddenly, the head of the Guo family said enviously to the head of the Xun family.

Upon hearing this, the heads of the surrounding noble families came to their senses and became indignant.

The Xun family is indeed exaggerated, with three county magistrate positions and a military advisor, far surpassing all the Yingchuan families.

"Haha, the Xun family is holding a banquet today, which can be regarded as a farewell party for the talented people in each family. Everyone please bring your children with you." The head of the Xun family smiled carefreely and said while stroking his beard.

"Go, go, of course we have to go, let's go, we will definitely rip off your Xun family, haha."

"It's extreme, it's extreme."
