Chapter 577

Since the birth of the child, Liu Zhang has rarely given himself a vacation.

I stay with my two children and two wives every day, and try my best to enjoy the hard-won warmth.

For a whole month, Liu Zhang didn't go out of the house, didn't listen to any major events in the world, and stayed with his family wholeheartedly.

The warm and romantic time is always short, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Zhang can't stay in the backyard all the time, he still has a lot of important things to do.

In the conference hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Zhang sat on the main seat, looking at the fewer and fewer talents below, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Yang Hong, Wang Lei, Fei Shi, Zhang Yi, Qin Mi and others were all sent by Liu Zhang to Nanzhong to assist Lu Su. In addition, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren and other generals were also in Nanzhong to pacify the barbarians. The entire chamber appears to be limited and lacking in talent.

"Everyone, I recently got a son and a daughter. I should be extremely excited, but today I feel a little disappointed..."

He Zong, the former magistrate of Pixian County and the current governor, stood up.

"My lord's birth of a son triggered a vision of heaven and earth, and the birth of a real dragon accompanied by colorful auspicious clouds. This is a great joy for me in Yizhou. I wonder what worries my lord has?"

Since He Zong studied with Ren Anzhi, he has paid more and more attention to these strange things.

The vision in the sky over Chengdu was touted and spread by He Zong, and now everyone in Yizhou knows about it.

"Yanying doesn't know something. In the past, the meeting hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion was full of talented people! But today... hey..."

Now there are less than ten people scattered in the house, and there is indeed a big psychological gap.

It can only be said that greed is not enough to swallow elephants, when there are only Jia Xu and Xun You in the court, Liu Zhang is also happy!

"Everyone, since ancient times, whether it is the monarch who founded the country, the monarch who rejuvenated, or the person who achieved great things, has anyone accomplished it by himself? Absolutely not!"

"No matter how strong a person is, his energy is limited after all, so what he can do is limited."

"For example, Xun You, the prefect of Ba County who defeated the Jingzhou army before, could defeat 50,000 Jingzhou navy in Yufu, but can he take care of Hanzhong?"

"Another example is this general. People in the world praise this general countless times, but who knows that without Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Dian Wei, this general might die in the first battle with the Yellow Turban!"

Jia Xu and Liu Ye nodded slightly. Judging from Liu Zhang's eager expression, they knew what Liu Zhang was thinking.

"My lord, do you want to recruit talents?"

"That's right! But it's not about recruiting, it's about recruiting talents from all over the world!"

Liu Zhang knows that there are still many talents in Yizhou, but these are not enough. What he wants is to look at the world!

"In the past, the Qin State was weak, and Qin Xiaogong issued an order to recruit Shang Yang to his subordinates, thus making Qin State prosperous and strong. Today's Yizhou may not be as good as the Qin State of that day. What capital do we not have to seek talents from all over the world? "

"In today's world, there must be big men like Jiang Shang who wear coarse linen clothes but have the talent to help the world fish by the Wei River, and there must be people like Chen Ping who are reprimanded for stealing their wives and accepting gold and are not recommended!"

"Therefore, I will imitate Qin Xiaogong today and issue a decree to seek talents to the world! Whether it is both ability and virtue, or virtue, or talent, even if it is talented but not virtuous, as long as it can help this general to clear up the troubled times and revive the Han Dynasty. Those who are in the office, I will appoint them!"

Regarding the matter of seeking talents, Liu Zhang had already conceived it, but because Yizhou had not been completely pacified before, he was afraid that the matter of seeking talents would cause turmoil again, so he had to delay it again and again.

Now Yizhou is completely peaceful, all counties and counties are under control, Liu Zhang has no scruples anymore.

Yizhou was originally a remote place, far away from the Central Plains, Hebei, Yangzhou and other places. It is difficult for talents from aristocratic families to leave their homes and businesses to join them.

Liu Zhang can only pray for some strangers or ordinary people to come.

However, the journey is far away, and there will definitely be many people who are powerless.

Therefore, Liu Zhang still holds the idea that people make decisions and heaven makes things happen.

Cao Cao can only inform the world of the order of seeking talents first, otherwise, when Cao Cao's order of seeking talents comes out, Liu Zhang will definitely not be able to compete with him.

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with seeking a virtuous order, but should this talented but unvirtuous person think again?"

He Zong is a student of Ren An, a great Confucianist. From childhood to adulthood, his living environment and Ren An's educational thoughts have always been virtuous, or even virtuous but not talented.

Virtue is the most important, but talent is second.

If Yizhou is full of talented but unvirtuous people who are unfaithful, righteous, benevolent, and filial, wouldn't it be a mess?

What Zong said was reasonable, but Liu Zhang also had his own ideas.

"What Yanying said is very true, but in troubled times, one has to be eclectic in doing things. Virtuous and immoral are almost all judged by others, and it is inevitable that they will be biased."

"Perhaps this talented person is not immoral, but forced to be immoral. In troubled times, survival is still not guaranteed, how can we guarantee virtue?"

"When I met Dian Wei, he angrily killed Li Yong, a member of the Li family, and fled into exile in the mountains. He almost killed me and Tai Shici. Does this mean that he has no virtue? Maybe in the eyes of the Li family, he is without virtue. performance, but standing on the side of the common people, Dian Wei is a heroic act."

"Therefore, we can listen to what everyone has to say if we are talented or not, but we can't make a conclusion based on what others say. We have to make our own judgments."

Liu Zhang has always believed that as long as a person is talented, he will definitely be able to help him, even if he lacks virtue!

The right person should be placed in the right place. Liu Zhang has the world in his heart, how can he not tolerate one or two people with less moral character?

Liu Zhang's remarks were immediately recognized by Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also suffered a lot because of the word virtue.

Jia Xu's talent is well known, even if it is not the best in the world, it can definitely be called the best in the world. Who dares to say that he can overwhelm Jia Xu in terms of resourcefulness?

But Jia Xu wasted half his life without any achievements, so he could only stay in his hometown Wuwei doing nothing.

If it weren't for Liu Zhang's insightful eyes, how could there be today's Yizhou don't drive Jia Wenhe?

"My lord's words are very true. There are countless talents in the world. If we can bring them all under our command, then the revival of the Han Dynasty and the reappearance of Guangwu will definitely not be empty talk!"

Jia Xu's thoughts are very clear. Although Yizhou's current strength is strong, it is far from reaching the combat power to sweep the world.

Not only Jia Xu thought this way, but Liu Zhang did too. Otherwise, why did he sit in Chengdu for several years and wait for Lu Su's results?

Whether it is Liu Zhang or Jia Xu, everything they are doing is accumulating strength.

Everyone understands the principle of thick accumulation and thin growth, but to what extent and when it will flourish is a difficult problem.

Talent is the most important thing here!

If Liu Zhang's subordinates were all top talents like Jia Xu and Xun You, then Liu Zhang would have no worries at all.

No matter who dug a big hole for him, someone will fill it for him.

This is what Yizhou was attacked by various parties during the Spring Festival last year.

Without Liu Ye's advance layout, Yizhou might be in chaos!

Even if many rebels are wiped out in the end, it will still inevitably lose strength.

Not to mention heading north, it will take longer to even pacify Nanzhong.
