It is better to employ people from wealthy families than from humble families. However, there are not enough people. Nowadays, people from wealthy families are corrupt, whether they are drinking or absurd, and regard idle talk and fantasy as their life pursuit. They are unable to bear responsibility and cannot do practical things. At this time, only people from humble families can be employed. "

In the final analysis, the poor family will become a noble family after several generations, and the noble family cannot be destroyed. When officials appoint people from noble families, these noble family children are generally not short of money, and there will be no corruption and exploitation. For the noble family children, reputation is more important than profit. It is not so easy to say about the people of the poor family. After they are fattened up, these people will no longer think about profit, but reputation.

When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette. This sentence is not only applicable to the common people, but also to the officialdom.

In the end, there is no perfect system in this world, only the most stable political power system that conforms to the world.

After listening to this, Lu Yun and Ge Hong fell into thinking, and they understood the personnel attitude of the current lord of Qingzhou.

The atmosphere of the current noble family made this person not satisfied at all. He prefers practical people and does not like crazy people who are too out of touch with reality. Therefore, when employing people, he will focus on talent and character, regardless of origin.

Lu Yun smiled bitterly: "I finally know why Cong Yue doesn't get along with my brother. ”

Ge Hong said: "The brother that Shilong is talking about is the most famous scholar in Jiangdong, Lu Ji, Lu Shiheng?"

"That's right." Lu Yun said: "Brother advocates the feudal system, believing that this method has been in use for thousands of years and is the most stable. However, when it is implemented, the details need to be carefully modified. Brother likes to make friends with celebrities from various aristocratic families. He stubbornly believes that only aristocratic families with long-term inheritance and cultivating the character of disciples since childhood can be regarded as people who have experienced many hardships and can take on important responsibilities. "

You Hongyin took over the conversation: "And I don't agree with the above two items."

Lu Yun said: "So, you kidnapped me."

You Hongyin said; "Ah, how can you say that. If Brother Shilong did not also disagree with Brother Shiheng's argument, how could he have a good conversation with me? We are just like-minded. "

The carriage gradually stopped, as if it had encountered a checkpoint. You Hongyin lifted the curtain of the carriage and found that they had arrived in Qingzhou. The checkpoint was set up by the Qingzhou army. Behind the checkpoint was a large number of sorghum that was almost ripe and bright red.

"This is Qingzhou."

Chapter 207: The Elegance of Famous Scholars (Thirty-four)

Rongcheng, Youzhou.

An ox cart was moving slowly, with two people dressed as scholars on the cart.

One of the two men was a little older, and the other was not yet twenty years old. Both of them looked somewhat similar, and it was obvious that they had a deep blood relationship with each other.

"Uncle, are you really going to leave your hometown?" The younger one had a delicate voice, and his tone was full of worry.

The man he called uncle touched the boy's head and said, "Zhui'er, your mourning period is over, and it's time to leave this place. "

This young man's name is Lu Zhui, and he is with his uncle Lu Yi. Three years ago, Lu Zhui's father and Lu Yi's brother suddenly died of illness. His wife was also very sad and died with him. The Lu family was not a family with many children. The death of the head of the family and his wife caused the Lu family to decline.

The only one left in the Lu family was Lu Yi, who usually did not care about worldly affairs and was doted on by his brother and sister-in-law. Although he had been taught by the aristocratic family for many years, he had never been exposed to worldly affairs. What he was most interested in were some strange things, such as mathematics, geology, etc. Therefore, when his brother passed away, he was alone. During the next evaluation of the aristocratic family, It actually caused the Lu family to fall out of the scope of the aristocratic family and change from a noble family to a commoner family.

Without the protection of the noble family status, the uncle and nephew of the Lu family struggled to maintain their family business. Lu Yi had once wanted to seek a position to settle down, but Youzhou was dominated by the Taiyuan Wang family. Now the head of the Wang family is Wang Jun. Although he is a direct descendant of the Wang family, he is a son of a maid. He inherited the family title only because his father died without leaving a legitimate son. However, this person did not value the poor because of his distorted education when he was young.

Wang Jun finally won a place in the court with the power of his family and occupied a high position such as the governor of Youzhou, but his mind was completely inconsistent with his own power. In fact, this person is not very kind. Probably because of his low birth, he looked down on the commoners very much. He usually talked about the untouchables, as if he was afraid that others would associate him, the governor of Youzhou, with the inferior people in his mouth.

Wang Jun has a bad temper He is stubborn and self-righteous. Even though he is already middle-aged, he still has this kind of personality. Logically speaking, people with personality should have some real goods in their hands to be proud of their ability. However, Wang Jun's rule is in chaos. The tax items are complicated and chaotic. The people in various positions are either his confidants or the famous local people with well-known literary names. However, these people are competent in writing poems and essays. How can they be patient to deal with the complicated government affairs? Therefore, Youzhou, which was not very stable to begin with, has become even more stormy.

On weekdays, Youzhou's Zhongzheng selection is done in a flourishing manner, and elegant gatherings and literary meetings are held one after another, making it seem that Youzhou's literary style is flourishing and prosperous. But in fact, due to natural disasters and droughts in recent years, Youzhou has long become a place where the rich are drunk and the poor are frozen to death. Countless refugees would rather withstand the iron cavalry of the Hu people to escape from this place where there is no life.

However, Wang Jun understood that it didn't matter if he didn't have the support of the people, but he couldn't neglect military affairs and lose his military power. Even if the Wang family had troops, they couldn't stop the large number of refugees. In the pre-Qin period, there were riots by the people. For the sake of his own life, Wang Jun treated military affairs with great care. In Youzhou, apart from the princes and nobles and the children of the aristocratic families, the Youzhou army, which had a very complex composition, lived a decent life. At least they didn't die like the refugees on the roadside.

They would follow whoever gave them a bite to eat. Nowadays, most people who joined the army in the world generally had this idea. There were even many refugees who would easily join a local force for a bite of food. Then this force relied on these scattered refugees to form a team. It seemed mighty, but in fact, this team could only serve as cannon fodder or win a few victories with more people than fewer. Of course, this kind of mob could not be entrusted with important tasks. Once there was chaos on the battlefield or setbacks in the war, these people would not have any loyalty and would probably slip away faster than anyone else.

As for Lu Yi, the general situation in Youzhou is such that he can't stay there. Although the Lu family still has savings, these money and silk are just castles in the air. What's more, Youzhou has a bad geographical location. It is sandwiched between the traitor Liu Yuan and the Xianbei, and it may become a place of war at any time. There is a saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. After his nephew's mourning ended, Lu Yi immediately sold his belongings and left Youzhou with a cart of bamboo slips and silk books.

But, the world is so big, where can you live and work in peace and contentment?

"Uncle, uncle, I heard that Qingzhou has opened an examination for recruiting officials. As long as you can pass the exam, you will be admitted as an official." The young man was full of energy and did not feel sad about leaving his hometown at all. Instead, he was in high spirits and had a great ambition to venture into the world.

"That's to be a civil servant, not an official." Lu Yi gently corrected his nephew's mistake: "Being an official is not a glorious thing. Once you do it, I'm afraid my Lu family will never have the chance to return to the ranks of the gentry."

Lu Zhui said: "Uncle, how do you know that Qingzhou will use the imperial examination to select civil servants today, but not tomorrow? You have to try everything." At this point, the young man's eyes became brighter and brighter: "What's more, I heard that the Qingzhou governor was favored by Lu Yun, one of the two Lus in Jiangdong, so he must be good."

Talking about this topic, the uncle and nephew both thought of the high-ranking but stubborn Wang Jun, the governor of their hometown, and they all felt sad and ashamed.

In fact, who is willing to leave their hometown?

"Qingzhou has Mount Tai as a natural barrier, and it is much safer than Youzhou. Uncle, let's go there and give it a try. Even if you don't become an official, it's not bad to settle down there and set up business. I heard that Qingzhou produces quite a few rare specialties." Lu Zhui chattered all the way, and finally persuaded Lu Yi, who was originally wavering.

In fact, Sima Yue moved the capital to Guangling with the emperor, because the Chen Min Rebellion had not yet been completely quelled, so he first built the palace in Jianye City.

According to Lu Yi's original idea, it was natural to go to the feet of the emperor. Although the current emperor was a fool, several princes and kings were not bad and were worthy of loyalty. But thinking that the Lu family was no longer a noble family, according to the employment ideas of those big men, I was afraid that I would not even be qualified to be a retainer.

When Lu Yi thought of this, he immediately changed his original idea and chose to go to Qingzhou.

Go to Qingzhou and try your luck. Even if you are unlucky, you should set up an industry and raise Zhui'er to be a talent. As long as the Lu family produces another outstanding person, it will be no problem for them to return to the gentry.

The uncle and nephew followed the refugees and drove the ox cart carefully towards Qingzhou. @This @work @is provided by @SiTu @Network @for online reading @

It is strange to say that when we just set out from Rongcheng, the bandits were rampant, riding horses, coming and going without a trace. Even when the refugees formed a formation to fight, some people were killed. However, as we slowly walked out of Youzhou and entered Yizhou, there were fewer and fewer such unscrupulous bandits.

When the refugees passed through many checkpoints, they were exploited less. Although they still collected some money, everyone could afford the money for the few heads.

You know, the most feared thing for refugees outside is to encounter passes or checkpoints. Sometimes, if the checkpoints are too strict and too unscrupulous, refugees would rather take a long detour than go through such places.

Lu Yi knew that these passes might have been taken care of by someone, or simply the work of Qingzhou.

Obviously, the strength of Qingzhou should not be underestimated. This place belongs to Yizhou, but the power of Qingzhou has already extended here.

Suddenly, Lu Yi's expectations were higher.

In the process of wandering around, some refugees saw that some places in Yizhou were still peaceful, so they didn't want to go further, so they chose some places to settle down. For them, leaving Youzhou was because of the severe drought. The government of the state, from top to bottom, didn't care about these things. They took medicine and went out every day, seeking pleasure, and reciting poems. And this Yizhou seemed to be managed by someone.

Lu Yi naturally saw it more clearly than those illiterate ordinary farmers. Yizhou was located at the junction of four states. To the west, Liu Yuan of Bingzhou was eyeing the Central Plains covetously. To the north, the border defense of Youzhou was as weak as paper. Yizhou itself was located in a flat plain area, which was most vulnerable to cavalry invasion. In the future, I am afraid that this place will be unstable for a long time.

So Lu Yi continued to walk with those refugees who had heard various rumors about Qingzhou and had already made Qingzhou their only goal.

After leaving Yizhou, not long after entering Qingzhou, we came to Taiyue Pass. It was built with the help of the terrain of Mount Tai and guarded the passage between Qingzhou and Yizhou. It can be said to be a very important pass.

Indeed, in line with its geographical importance, Taiyue Pass was built quite large, and there were also a large number of Qingzhou soldiers stationed here. This feeling of heroic spirit made many refugees who wanted to enter the customs hesitate.

Is behind that level a paradise on earth, or is it just the same as other places, just beautification after being spread rumors? Even if it really is a paradise, what price do we have to pay to enter it?

But who knew that not long after they stayed outside the customs, a clerk accompanied by soldiers came to them.

Lu Yi was well taken care of by the refugees all the way because the refugees hoped that a literate person would come forward to talk to him at this time.

The little official said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I am Zhao De, the household registration secretary of Taiyuguan, who is responsible for sorting out records and re-registering your household registrations."

Then the man began to ask where they were from and who they knew each other. He said that there were several refugee resettlement sites throughout Qingzhou. If they were fellow villagers, they would try to arrange them together so that they could have a good relationship with each other in the future. Anaphora.

While asking, Secretary Zhao took out a very beautiful, but somewhat strange-looking
