Three Kingdoms: God-level selection
Chapter 86
After watching everyone leave, Su Yan thought for a while, then walked out of the backyard and called Xiao Yu over.
"Let’s go to the Zou family!"
""Here!"
Xiaoyu drove the carriage and took Su Yan to the Zou family.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the Zou family mansion.
The door curtain was opened. When the guard saw that it was Su Yan, he did not dare to neglect him and ran in to report to Zou Zhi.
After a while, Zou Zhi and a few others came out to greet Su Yan.
"Meet father-in-law!"
Seeing Zou Zhi coming out, Su Yan walked over and saluted.
"Ziyang, no need to be polite, come in quickly!"
Zou Zhi laughed and took Su Yan to the mansion.
""Sir!"
When the people in the Zou Mansion saw Su Yan coming, they all bowed to him respectfully.
They knew that Su Yan was no longer the magistrate of Zhuo County, but the governor of the entire Zhuo County. His status was different from the past and his identity was noble.
Moreover, he had the great scholar Lu Zhi as his teacher, and was established by Su Ping as the heir of the Su family. He had a deep background and powerful power.
This made them unable to raise any arrogance when facing Su Yan.
Even though their Zou family was a big merchant in Youzhou and could dominate Youzhou in business.
But among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, scholars came first.
Su Yan was the governor of Zhuo County and was deeply trusted by the governor Liu Yu. His status was respected, and he was many times nobler than them, the merchants.
But they didn't have to be too afraid of him, because soon everyone would be a family.
They all knew the news that the eldest lady Zou Yu was about to marry Su Yan.
In the future, even if Su Yan was half a member of the Zou family, wouldn't he have to be more on the side of the Zou family?
Of course, the head of the family, Zou Zhizhi, The family is strict, strictly prohibiting them from showing off outside because of the status of the Zou family.
Because once the Zou family members are arrogant and commit a big crime, Su Yan will never be lenient.
The reason is simple, just because of the relationship of in-laws, he can't let them go.
Otherwise, at that time, the prestige of fairness that he has worked hard to build will be lost, which he will not allow.
Zou Zhi is an old ghost, and he knows Su Yan's style of doing things very well.
He knows that Su Yan may give them more benefits in some aspects because of his relationship with the Zou family.
But if they commit a crime, he will never cover them up, and will punish them more severely and more cruelly!
He knows this in his heart, so he strictly restrains the Zou family members and tells them not to make trouble.
Facing the salutes of the crowd, Su Yan followed Zou Zhi all the way to the hall.
Zou Zhi gave him the main seat, but he shook his head and said:"Today I am not here as an official in the Zou family, but only as a relative, so my father-in-law should sit in the main seat, and the order of seniority cannot be messed up!"
After hearing this, Zou Zhi's eyes flashed with approval, and then he said:"Okay, then I will sit down first."
He sat in the main seat, while Su Yan sat in the first seat to his left.
"Ziyang, is there anything that brings you here today?"
Zou Zhi asked with a smile.
Su Yan smiled and said,"Yes, there is something. When I was in Ji County before, I brought Yu'er to meet my father, and my father agreed to the marriage."
"I also requested that my teacher preside over the wedding, and he agreed. Now he is discussing the wedding date with my seniors."
"I came here this time just to tell you something, what do you think?"
Zou Zhi smiled and said,"It's best if your father agrees to the marriage, then there will be no problem on our side."
"As for the wedding, Mr. Lu is a great scholar in China and has the best understanding of Confucian classics. I would love to have him officiate your wedding. Ziyang, you did a great job."
"Father-in-law, you are too kind."
Su Yan smiled and said,"I came here this time, in addition to this matter, there is another thing I want to discuss with you."
"Whatever it is, just tell me."
Zou Zhi stroked his beard and smiled.
"I am now the governor of Zhuo County. I am short of officials in the governor's office. I need someone who is good at financial calculations to serve as the chief clerk to help me handle the financial affairs."
"I know that the Zou family is a merchant family, so they must have no shortage of talents in this field, so I want my father-in-law to pick someone from the Zou family to serve under me."
Su Yan slowly stated his purpose
"Oh?"
Zou Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard his words,"Zi Yang, are you serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously!"
Su Yan nodded.
He came here this time, one to talk about the wedding, and the other to come to the Zou family to ask for someone.
The prefectural government has just been established, and many important positions are vacant. Su Yan must decide on the candidates as soon as possible.
These positions are related to the promulgation and execution of his decrees, so these people must be trustworthy.
Not only must they be loyal, but they must also be talented.
Su Yan also believes in the principle of meritocracy! In order to ensure his rule, all officials must be capable and talented.
Talent and ability, no matter how big or small, must be there.
If you have no ability and are only loyal, then I'm sorry, I can't use you!
Similarly, vice versa.
If you want to strengthen your own strength, expand your influence and reputation, you must A stable rear base is necessary.
And stability depends on loyal and capable subordinates.
The competition between countries is actually about these.
Su Yan had just established the Taishou Mansion, and there were not many people he could trust. Most of his subordinates were military officers, but there were not many civil officials who were good at governance.
So he thought of asking the Zou family for people.
First of all, with his relationship with the Zou family, loyalty would definitely not be a problem.
As for talent and ability, with so many people in the Zou family, it should not be difficult to find one or two talented people.
Otherwise, if all the members of the family were stupid and foolish, they would not be able to become the largest merchant in Youzhou.
Zou Zhi was very happy to get Su Yan's affirmative answer.
Su Yan was giving them the Zou family a chance, giving them a chance���Get rid of the identity of a businessman and move up to the upper class.
This has always been the wish of their family.
The greatest wish of every businessman is to get an official position, get rid of the lowly identity of a businessman, and let others look up to them.
The same is true for the Zou family.
As a large family, no one has been able to become a high-ranking official in Zhuo County, which shows how difficult it is to get promoted. Sometimes, you can't do whatever you want just because you have money.
In the end, it's still the powerful people who have the final say.
Now that Su Yan has thrown them an olive branch, they must take it, because this is a chance to turn things around.
Zou Zhi was both happy and fortunate.
He felt that his vision was not wrong.
Investing in Su Yan was indeed right!
They have paid so much for him, and now he is giving them a chance in return, which is very fair.
