Chapter 41 Dong Zhongshu(1/2)
"Zhou Yang, I have called you back because you want you to work with your father Yan, Dou Ying and Feng Jing to do the recruitment of talents." Emperor Jing spoke when Zhou Yang changed his mind: "You have many novel ideas, so you should be more attentive."
"No!" Zhou Yang then understood.
Next, Emperor Jing asked about the training of troops for a while, and Zhou Yang answered one by one. Emperor Jing was very satisfied. As for whether to find Donghu or Baiyue to practice, Emperor Jing smiled and replied, "This is not urgent. As long as the soldiers are trained, will you still not be able to find a battle?"
Although Zhou Yang formulated a strategy of starting from the south and then the north, Zhou Yang was more inclined to the Donghu when practicing. Because the terrain of the Donghu and the climate were somewhat similar to the desert, the terrain of the Nanyue was completely different from that of the Xiongnu.
As for whether to find Donghu or Baiyue, it depends on the specific situation.
Zhou Yang came back from the palace and had a good rest. The next morning, he went to the palace. Emperor Jing took Zhou Yang, Master Yan, Dou Ying and Feng Jing to check around.
The talents to be recruited this time are not only those who are in power, but also those who are skilled. In today's terms, they are "scientists" or "scientific and technological workers". They raise horses and train cattle, grow crops, and make irons. Each rank has a dedicated person to be responsible for it, which is divided into many points. This inspection takes a long time.
The battle with the Huns required many war horses. If there were no large number of war horses, no matter how good the Modao was, it would not be possible to appear on the battlefield. The first place Emperor Jing came to was to choose a place for horse-raising people.
I saw a group of Ma Zheng officials dressed in official uniforms and were selecting people. There were many people coming to take the exam, and several long queues lined up, each with a look of expectation.
A middle-aged man with a beard under his chin was very smart and was answering the inquiry from Official Ma Zheng.
"What are your strengths? How dare you come to take the exam?" An official asked at the man.
"Sir, the grass-roots have no other strengths and can beat up horses." The man's tone was a little high, as if he was afraid that others would not hear it.
"Bor!"
Someone couldn't help laughing immediately. The matter of slander was very despised, but he shouted loudly that it would be impossible not to laugh.
Even Emperor Jing held back and did not laugh out loud. Zhou Yang saw his proud look and couldn't help but smile.
"Sir, don't make a joke." This man's voice was not small at all: "This man can have some tricks. If one is not good, the wound will become purulent and even die. You must be more careful when retrieving eggs..."
As soon as the conversation was opened, I couldn't hold back. How to retrieve eggs, how to suture wounds, and how to treat knife wounds, one by one, it was very clear.
"There are so many ways to beat horses?" Emperor Jing heard it in his ears, and his strangeness was in his heart. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that beat horses had so many skills.
Who is not as surprised as Emperor Jing, the master Yan, Dou Ying and Feng Jing?
Although Zhou Yang knew that although the horse was not respected and was also a science, he was still surprised after hearing this person's words. Zhou Yang was surprised not that the horse was too particular, but that this person's research on this area was very in-depth, and some of it could already show the clues of modern veterinary medicine.
He advocated using medicine for knife wounds to avoid inflammation and suppuration, but he did not say it in modern terms.
Official Ma Zheng asked some questions, and the person answered them one by one. These officials were all good at this. As soon as they heard it, they knew that he did not tell lies and that Yu Zhima was very familiar with his work.
"Okay!" The official Ma Zheng nodded and said, "You are good at masturbating horses. The emperor wants to promote masturbating, and the great man must tame war horses in large quantities. You can use the skills of masturbating horses. From now on, you will be an official of the court, with a salary of 300 stones."
The salary of 300 s is a very low-ranking official. Not only did this man not sigh, but he was very happy: "Sir Xie, I am an official, and I am an official of the court."
No matter how low the rank is, he is still an official, and it is not enough to be unhappy.
Official Ma Zheng said with a solemn face: "Listen. The emperor said, as long as you do well, the emperor will redeem you, and give you your honor, so that you can enjoy wealth and glory. However, if you don't do your best, if something happens, you will be unlucky!"
"Don't worry, sir, remember, young one! Remember!" The man smiled.
"Haha!" Emperor Jing stroked his forehead, very happy. He didn't know until he saw it. Only after he saw it did he realize that there were so many things in the matter of horse racing.
Emperor Jing took a big step and went to the next place to visit Zhao Guo where he chose talents to grow crops.
Food is the most important thing for the people, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and Emperor Jing attaches great importance to it.
I saw Zhao Guo sitting in front of the short case, selecting people, with a serious look on his face.
In front of him, an old farmer in his fifties looked windy and frosty, with wrinkles on his face, and stood respectfully.
"Can such an old man grow crops?" Emperor Jing was a little unbelievable.
"The emperor doesn't know that the older the people of this kind of crop, the more experience they have. This old man is a good man." Master Yan looked at the old man briefly and explained his doubts to Jingdi.
"Oh! Master Yan, are you so sure?" Emperor Jing still disbelief.
"Your Majesty, look, this old man is different." Master Yan's observation was not weak: "He has the darkness of the sun, which is something that has been exposed to the sun for a long time. Also, this person's face has no vegetables on his face, and it is no different from the face of a meat eater. I have expected that this person's family is in a good place. Not only does he have a full grain warehouse, but he also has domestic animals and eats meat."
Eating meat is not worth mentioning for modern people. At that time, it was a paradise life. If an old farmer had meat, it was indeed extraordinary. If he wanted to raise livestock, he had to have food. The conclusion was that this person was very good at growing crops.
Emperor Jing looked at the old farmer and found that as Master Yan said, this person had a good face and no food. After looking at Master Yan again, he couldn't help but smile. Master Yan was a poor man, and he could tell at a glance the food and meat color.
"Old man, what are your strengths?" Zhao Guo asked.
"Sir, I have no other strengths and am good at planting crops." The old farmer began to answer: "I have some understanding of the choice of land, time, weed and accumulated fertilizer."
Next, the old man came to see what time to plant, how much to plant, what crops to plant, and what weed and accumulate fertilizers are all about experience. Zhao Guo is an expert in this field, and he nodded and praised: "Old man, you are too talented to plant crops. You should pass on these experiences to other people. I will be the messenger of rice fields. Are you willing to?"
The rice field messenger is equivalent to the current agricultural technician, and it is just right for this experienced old farmer.
"Sir, I can only grow, don't speak, and I'm stupid."
"Old man, just teach others as you said." Zhao Guo smiled and said with a gentle voice: "The old man has a good family and has a livestock at home. It is convenient to accumulate fat. You must teach others this too."
We now use chemical fertilizers, weeding agents, mechanized production, sowing seeds on planes, and accumulating fertilizer with livestock is simply not popular in modern society. However, in the Han Dynasty, this was an innovation and is very worthy of promotion.
"Sir, I'm illiterate." The old farmer was still hesitant: "Sir, I'm illiterate."
"This is easy to deal with!" Zhao Guo said gently: "As long as the old man is attentive, I will send you a clerk, and the copywriting matter will be handed over to him. Well, the old man is good at growing crops. He will not be so experienced without decades of experience, and his salary is 600 stones."
"Six hundred stones?" The old man was very surprised, and then he was very happy: "Sir, thank you!"
"Old man, you must be careful. Your family is well-off and everyone in your family has meat to eat. However, many people in the Han Dynasty have no meat to eat. If the crops are planted and there is surplus grain, you can raise livestock, and the people will have meat to eat." Zhao Guo encouraged: "The Emperor said that the Han Dynasty should have a full grain in the warehouse and eat meat, so you must not let the emperor down!"
"Your Majesty!" The old farmer said with some emotion: "The emperor keeps the people in his heart, and the people have a good life!"
The old farmer's words were simple, without any gorgeous words, but they were sincerely praised. Emperor Jing was very helpful when he heard it. He narrowed his eyes and nodded. This was more satisfying than thousands of brilliant words.
"Zhou Yang, Zhao Guo, you recommend this person well!" Emperor Jing smiled at Zhou Yang and praised him.
"He made a batch of carts and sent them to the people for use, and the people all said it was good. However, the time was too short and we could not do too much, otherwise the harvest this year would be much better." Emperor Jing felt very sorry.
"Your Majesty, as long as you have talents, you will be able to recover this time." Zhou Yang comforted him.
"Well said it!" Emperor Jing nodded and took Zhou Yang and the others to check.
Emperor Jing wanted to revitalize all industries. The talents recruited this time were really from all walks of life. It took a long time to check it. Although it took a long time, the harvest was good. Emperor Jing didn't know it without looking at it. Only when he saw it knew that every industry was a place of knowledge. He was both surprised and happy. He even more agreed with Zhou Yang's proposal to run a school.
These people have rich experience and are creative, but they have a common flaw, that is, they do not read and cannot read. It is precisely because they do not read and cannot read that they can choose in-person. Otherwise, they can use the method of trial and trial, and send them pens and bamboo slips to them and ask them to write them out.
After checking it out, Zhou Yang was very surprised. What surprised Zhou Yang was that our ancestors had amazing creativity. Although Zhou Yang knew that our ancestors had amazing creativity, he did not expect it to be so amazing.
The blacksmith had invented the method of forging the fine steel, which was to forge it one by one. At that time, the acquisition of steel was mainly due to repeated forging, which was called making steel in a hundred times, and there was nothing to say. The problem was that the blacksmith not only forged it, but also invented the technique of oil-soaked fire, which was an innovation.
"If they had read books and could recognize words, their skills would be even more superb." Emperor Jing finally concluded: "The school is unmoved. I would rather fight with the Huns later than do it well! This is the foundation of the country!"
As long as there are talents and all industries are revitalized, the Han Dynasty will be stronger. Although the Huns are powerful, they are powerless. Zhou Yang and the others fully agree with Emperor Jing's conclusion.
After checking all kinds of skills, the last thing left is the policy of the people of the country. This is the top priority. Emperor Jing decided to hold it the next day, and Emperor Jing would come in person.
After a day of inspection, Zhou Yang saw the technology of the Han Dynasty. He was very shocked and was happy for the creativity of our ancestors. Zhou Yang was even more looking forward to the next day's policy test. What kind of loud noise will these scholars from the country make?
The next day, Zhou Yang rushed to the palace early. Zhou Yang left early, but he didn't expect that Emperor Jing had been waiting in Xuanzheng Hall earlier.
Emperor Jing was wearing an imperial robe and a crown on his head. He did not have the power of Emperor Mu Mu, but had a smile on his face. When he saw Zhou Yang's face, he smiled and said, "Zhou Yang, today is a happy day for the Han Dynasty. I want to select the country's people from the Han Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu had three talents, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, and Fan Kuai, who created the Han Dynasty. The more talents I have, the better."
Before Zhou Yang could speak, he raised his neck and sang the great wind song of Emperor Gaozu: "The wind blows and the clouds fly, and the power is strong and I return to my hometown. How can I get a strong man to guard all directions? Let's go and find a strong man!"
Emperor Jing was really happy. He brushed his sleeves and walked away quickly. His steps were extremely light and he seemed to be without any slight feet.
Although Emperor Jing was the emperor, he was a person of temperament. When he was angry, he could beat the prince of King Liu Bin of Wu to death. When he was happy, he smiled, no different from ordinary people. Zhou Yang and Emperor Jing had known each other for so long, and rarely saw Emperor Jing so happy.
It is no wonder that talents are the foundation of a country. The talents who come to take the exam are far beyond imagination. Even the famous Shen Gong has come, so it is impossible to be happy with Emperor Jing.
Zhou Yang, Master Yan, Dou Ying and Feng Jing, had smiles on his face and followed Emperor Jing into Xuanzheng Hall.
As soon as he entered Xuanzheng Hall, Zhou Yang's eyes almost fell to the ground. It turned out that the hall was full of vertical tables and chairs, no longer short tables and short tables.
"Zhou Yang, you have a good idea." Emperor Jing first praised Zhou Yang, and then said: "It's tiring to write while kneeling. If you sit down like this, you won't need to be sore in your back. I specially ordered people to do some to make them sit more comfortable."
Emperor Jing was really good to these scholars from the country, but he was meticulous and did not even let go of such trivial matters.
Emperor Jing walked to the throne and stood, turned around, brushed his sleeves and said, "Let's start the strategy."
"The policy discussion begins, and the scholar enters the palace!" Dou Ying yelled with his throat.
As soon as his roar stopped, the scholars outside the hall came in one by one. Zhou Yang looked at the scholars who entered the hall and almost whispered the food.
The first one to enter was an old man with a silver hair and beard. He was not young anymore. He was not seventy or sixty. However, he was full of red face, strong body, wearing a Confucian crown, wearing a Confucian uniform, and floating sleeves. A sense of elegance suddenly appeared, which made people feel good about it.
It is the world-famous Confucian scholar, Shen Gong.
Zhou Yang’s history is not good enough, and Zhou Yang doesn’t know whether Mr. Shen has talent or not. At least Mr. Shen’s appearance is very handsome, like an immortal, and it makes people shine. He is worthy of being a famous scholar in the world.
"Madame Shen Pei, I have met the emperor!" Duke Shen greeted Emperor Jing according to the courtesy of a scholar.
The sound is clear and magnetic. Zhou Yang thought to himself that you had entered the wrong career. Such a beautiful voice should be a singer.
Shen Pei is the name of Shen Gong because he is a famous Confucian scholar and is respectfully called Shen Gong.
"Duke Shen, please take your seat!" Emperor Jing nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Gong thanked him, found his seat, and sat down. The first time I sat down on this vertical table and chair, I felt fresh. After sitting down, I twisted my body and sat more comfortable.
The second person who came in was a scholar wearing a matte head and a deep dress. This man was over thirty years old, with bright eyes, like the scorching sun above the nine heavens, and his face was shining with a special brilliance. You can tell at a glance that this man must be an extraordinary person.
His elegant temperament makes people like him. He strides with great strides, and every step he takes has a resonant sense of rhythm.
"Good guy!" Every move can resonate with people, and it is definitely not an ordinary person. Zhou Yang cannot praise him, and his favorability has increased greatly.
However, the next moment, Zhou Yang almost laughed on the ground. This man was not wearing his feet, barely wearing his feet. His white and clean feet were very well maintained. If he didn't look at his people, he would definitely regard him as a woman.
To be continued...
