Chapter 348 Finals

"Inspector, what about the agreed reward?" Lu Meng asked before Zhao Lei could speak.

"Let's not talk about you first, let's talk about the other three gentlemen first." Zhao Lei walked up to Gu Yong and the other three, and said.

"From this competition, I have seen the extraordinary talents of the three gentlemen. I wonder if the three gentlemen are willing to serve under Zhao Lei's command and assist me in managing Yangzhou?"

"This..." The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to answer Zhao Lei.

"I know the concern of the three gentlemen. I hereby assure the three gentlemen that as long as your family trusts me, the incident in Wu County will not happen." Zhao Lei said.

After Zhao Lei finished speaking, Gu Yong immediately said, "In this case, I am willing to take refuge in Mingjun."

Seeing that Gu Yong had taken refuge in him, the other two followed suit.

In fact, the reason why they were unwilling to seek refuge with Zhao Lei before was because when Zhao Lei was in Wu County, he eradicated many local aristocratic families in one fell swoop, shaking Yangzhou.Therefore, in the eyes of other families in Yangzhou, Zhao Lei seemed to be not very friendly to the family, which was why the three of them hesitated before.However, since Zhao Lei has made a promise and expressed his willingness to cooperate with these families, these patriarchs are very happy to climb the tree of Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou, in order to stabilize their family's foundation in Yangzhou.Of course, as long as this big tree falls one day, they will abandon him without mercy. This is the fierce relationship between warlords and powerful people in this era.

"As for Lu Meng, you are still too young to be an official. Starting today, you and your family will all live in the Governor's Mansion. At the same time, I will recommend to the teacher to accept you as a student. When you grow up a little , I will ask Zilong to take you to the military camp to exercise, what do you think of this kind of reward?" Zhao Lei squatted down and said to Lu Meng.

Perhaps Lu Meng still didn't quite understand how much Zhao Lei expected in this reward, but everyone beside Zhao Lei opened their mouths wide open, dumbfounded.

After the Spring Festival, Zhao Lei immediately launched a new policy in Yangzhou, that is, the matter of Juxian Village that Lu Su had been proposing to Zhao Lei before but was rejected by Zhao Lei and Zhang Han.Like the Juxian Village in Qu’a Port, both Juxian Villages were built to attract talents. The difference is that the Juxian Village set up by Zhao Lei not only recruits generals and counselors, but also attracts some strange people and skilled craftsmen. Such talents.In other words, Zhao Lei's request for this Juxian Village is to recruit talents from all over the world for his own use.As long as you have a skill, you can come to serve in the Yangzhou Army.

Half a month later, Lu Su, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong, who were in charge of this Juxian Village, came to Moling to report to Zhao Lei the situation of recruiting talents for Juxian Village in various counties and counties in Yangzhou for half a month.

Above the hall, for the first time in half a year, all the counselors in Yangzhou gathered around Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei took the document, and took turns reading the records on the document with Zhang Han and Jia Xu. Even a calm person like Jia Xu couldn't help being shocked!According to what is written in this document, in just over half a month, Juxian Village has recruited nearly [-] talented people with special skills for Zhao Lei, and most of them are children from poor families who are underappreciated. Enrich Zhao Lei's position as a grassroots official in Yangzhou who is in short supply at the moment!Of course, these people can't be used right away, at least until Zhao Lei finds out the details of these people, and is sure that they are not spies sent by hostile forces.

Lu Su raised his head in disbelief, looked at Zhao Lei, and sighed: "My lord! Although my subordinates knew that Juxian Village would play a big role, they didn't expect it to work so quickly! With this group of talents, as long as the lord wins over them and cultivates them into the lord's direct lineage, I believe it will not be long before Yangzhou will be truly controlled by the lord from the bottom to the nobles!" Lu Su's words are absolutely no exaggeration, these more than 200 people can Not ordinary soldiers, but talents with special skills!This is no small number!What's more, Juxian Village is just developing now, and many people are still skeptical about Juxian Village, but with the successful example of the first batch of people, I believe it will get better and better in the future!As long as there are Juxian Village to continuously replenish talents, Zhao Lei will not be afraid that no one will be available in the future!Zhao Lei also laughed. He seemed very satisfied with Lu Su's suggestion.But this alone is not enough, Zhao Lei this time wants everyone to discuss the next action.Zhao Lei nodded and said: "Now the work of Juxian Village has entered the normal stage, but just like this, I'm afraid it will not be so smooth in the future! After all, the method of Juxian Village is too simple, and other princes must also see the benefits. We will follow suit one after another, and by then, we will not have any advantage!"

All the people here are smart people. When Zhao Lei said this, they all understood the meaning of it.Juxianzhuang is so popular now, it is entirely because the princes in other places don't pay much attention to these poor children. When they have no way out, they see such a place in Yangzhou, which can give them a chance to show their strengths. flocked.However, if other princes follow Zhao Lei's example and set up Juxian Village, then the children from poor families in various places will naturally not look far away.

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "My lord is right! I remember that when Cao Cao was in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he was used to using the poor family's children. With the lord as the object of imitation, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be people in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. A building similar to Juxian Village will appear to attract talents! Even Yuan Shao, a proud fourth-generation and third-generation man, will probably put down his dignity and follow our example in setting up Juxian Village." Zhang Zhao said.

It is also rare for Zhang Han to put away his usual hippie smile, frowned tightly, dragged his chin, and said: "If this is the case, it will be a troublesome thing! We can't allow them to also set up Juxian Village? This is another There is no rule that only we can use it.”

Zhao Lei thinks Zhang Han's words are right. In this era, there is no such thing as patent rights. Juxianzhuang's practice is there, and anyone can easily learn it.

Zhao Lei had already made plans, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, when I first captured Wu County, I was already thinking about it, but at that time my territory was still small, and the timing It's not yet mature, so I didn't bring it up! Now it seems that Yangzhou has fallen into my hands, and it is suitable in all aspects! Everyone, I don't know if you still remember Jixia, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, 600 years ago. Academy?"

"Uh!" As soon as Zhao Lei finished speaking, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and they looked at Zhao Lei with some excitement, and asked, "My lord said, it was Tian Qi's government-run high school during the Warring States period. Schools? There are a hundred schools of thought contending, and the talent is at its peak!"

Jixia Academy is an organization similar to the schools of later generations established by Duke Huan of Qi.Of course, this Duke Huan of Qi is not the well-known overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, but another monarch of the Qi State during the Warring States Period.During his reign, this person did not make many great political achievements, but this Jixia Academy was made by him!
Most of the literati in this era study in private capacity. Although there is also a Yingchuan College, but after all, there are too many monks and too little food. How can they satisfy the poor children of the whole world?Besides, Yingchuan College is still managed by those aristocratic families, and the ultimate purpose of cultivating talents is also to select talents for the aristocratic families. There are only a few "fish that slipped through the net" like Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu Captured by Zhao Lei, most of the students who graduate from Yingchuan College will eventually be selected by the aristocratic family!For example, Yuan Shao, who has four generations and three princes, has many such talents under his command.

And Zhao Lei's plan is to set up a school similar to Jixia Academy in Yangzhou!Instead of passively recruiting talents like now, Zhao Lei simply decided to cultivate talents by himself!What's more, in this way, it can effectively guarantee the loyalty of these talents to Zhao Lei!The only downside is that the interval between them is too long.What's more, there will be continuous wars with Dongyue and Jingzhou in the future. I'm afraid Zhao Lei doesn't have the energy to handle these things.

After Guo Jia and the others understood what Zhao Lei meant, they immediately became interested.All three of them were born in Yingchuan College. In fact, they can't understand the teaching mode of the college very well. If they build another college in Yangzhou that is similar to Jixia Academy, the benefits it will bring will be great. Naturally, there are countless!Xi Zhicai nodded non-stop at this time, and said: "Not bad! Not bad! If such a college is established, then we can completely cultivate the talents we want by ourselves! Why worry about no talents available? My lord is really smart."

Even Cheng Yu, who has always been calm, was rarely excited, his eyes were shining brightly: "The most wonderful thing is that we can recruit the younger generation's children from those aristocratic families in Yangzhou! Send them to the academy for training, At that time, we will continue to instill in them the belief of being loyal to the lord! When these young children of the aristocratic family grow up, then the harm of the aristocratic family to the lord will be completely negligible! I remember that the lord just accepted three aristocratic families Is the Patriarch coming to Moling to be an official? This is an opportunity!"

"Hahahaha! Mr. Cheng is right." Zhao Lei looked up to the sky and smiled. It feels good to have a top strategist as his subordinate!In fact, Zhao Lei only had a rough idea for the establishment of the academy, but he only needs to make a start, and the rest can be completely handed over to these top counselors to solve, and there is no need to worry at all, they will naturally It's settled properly!Immediately, Zhao Lei said to Xi Zhicai and the others: "Don't worry about this matter for now, wait until the first batch of talents called by Juxianzhuang arrives in Moling! We can't do without this new 'Jixia Academy' Teacher! At that time, I will choose a few of you to be teachers!"

"My lord is wise!" The three of them bowed to Zhao Lei at the same time.

The matter of establishing a college in Yangzhou officially started, and at this time, there were some movements in Dong Zhuo's Chang'an.
