Chapter 1097 Wenhua Building
A month is fleeting.
With the powerful effect of [Recruitment List], Ouyang Shuo was both happy and worried this month.
The good news is that the [Recruitment List] has achieved extraordinary results. In just one month, it has recruited more than 40 historical talents of different levels for Daxia, and many of them are god-level masters like Zeng Guofan.
As soon as Zeng Guofan arrived, he was invited into the cabinet by Ouyang Shuo.
[Name]: Zeng Guofan (God level)
[Title]: One of the top ten prime ministers in history
【Dynasty】: Qing Dynasty
[Identity]: Daxia cabinet elder
[Occupation]: civil servant
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 80 [Force]: 40 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 98
[Specialty]: Fame (increase the integrity of the territory by 40%, improve the efficiency of the territory's affairs by 25%, improve the humanities level of the territory by 15%, and improve the level of government officials in the territory by 30%)
[Classics]: "Nine Chapters Law"
[Comment]: Zeng Gong has always been a lesson to know others. He has known many sages and generals. He has profound knowledge and long-term strategy. Although he is not famous for being good at fighting, he is able to recognize and select talented generals, and his planning is rigorous, and there is nowhere to be found. Therefore, the talents of the group are effective, and the big bandits are wiped out, and he is the number one hero of ZTE.
Zeng Guofan was born in a landlord family. He was diligent and studious since he was a child. He entered a school at the age of six, read four books and recited five classics at the age of eight, and read "Zhou Li" and "Historical Records" anthology at the age of fourteen.
In the eighteenth year of Daoguang, he was a Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy, and was a student of Mu Zhang's Amen, Minister of Military Aircraft. Laiqian cabinet bachelor, minister of rites, minister of soldiers, workers, criminals, and officials, official to governor of Liangjiang, governor of Zhili, bachelor of Wuyingdian, first-class Yiyonghou, posthumous title "Wenzheng", later known as "Zeng Wenzheng".
During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Hunan Army was formed to turn the tide and conquer the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after years of fierce fighting.
Zeng Guofan has been adhering to behavior and government throughout his life, with patience as the most important thing, and he advocates being diligent, thrifty and honest in everything, and not being proud of being an official. He cultivated himself and disciplined himself, seeking officials with virtue, prioritizing the rule of law, and seeking government with loyalty.
Under Zeng Guofan's initiative, the Qing Dynasty built China's first ship, established the first military engineering school, printed and translated the first batch of Western books, and arranged for the first batch of students to study in the United States.
It can be said that Zeng Guofan was the pioneer of China's modernization.
Having such a person who is familiar with the Westernization Movement and had great influence in the late Qing Dynasty enter the cabinet of Daxia, the influence on Daxia is obvious.
There are many reasons why Zeng Guofan chose to become an official in Daxia. In addition to the influence of the [Recruitment List], there was also the invitation of his disciple Li Hongzhang, and his ancestor Zeng Zi was also in Daxia, so he came here.
Along with Zeng Guofan were his younger brothers Zeng Guoquan and Zuo Zongtang, both of whom were from the Hunan Army.
Ouyang Shuo planned to expand the guard army at the right time, and the two generals Zeng Guoquan and Zuo Zongtang were the best candidates for the commander of the guard army.
Right now, Ouyang Shuo arranged for the two of them to join the First Guard Army Corps, and together with the Corps Commander Oda Nobunaga, they formed and trained Daxia's first integrated firearms regiment.
In addition to Zeng Guofan and his party, Cao Xueqin also came to Daxia.
Cao Xueqin's great-grandmother Sun was the nanny of Emperor Kangxi, and his grandfather Cao Yin was the accompanying reader and imperial guard of Emperor Kangxi.
During the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, three generations of the Cao family ruled Jiangning weaving for fifty-eight years.
Kangxi went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and Cao Yin took him four times.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Cao Xueqin was thirteen years old. In December, Cao Fu, the uncle of Wailang, a weaver in Jiangning, was dismissed from his post and imprisoned for crimes such as harassing the post station, weaving deficit, and transferring property. His home was ransacked before the Lantern Festival in the first month of the following year.
Cao Xueqin moved back to Beijing with the whole family, and the Cao family fell into a slump and declined day by day.
Under such circumstances, Cao Xueqin naturally did not want to return to Kyoto and live under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, Shanhai City has a prosperous humanistic atmosphere, has no restrictions on literati, and has an extremely open atmosphere, which is a suitable place to settle down.
Following Cao Xueqin's entry into Southwest University, a system announcement spread throughout Huaxia District.
"System announcement: Cao Xueqin, the representative of the novelist family, became an official in Daxia, and recruited many disciples. At the same time, he met the three conditions for the school to settle in, and the novelist of various schools of thought officially settled in Daxia."
...
"System Announcement: Novelists from various schools of thought have officially settled in Daxia, and they will be rewarded with the title of [Novelist's Holy Land] in Shanhai City. Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi!"
...
"System Announcement: Novelists from a hundred schools of thought have officially settled in Daxia. The existing title of Shanhai City [Holy Land of Hundred Schools] will automatically overwrite the title of [Holy Land of Novelists]. Build a [Wenhua Building] and reward it with money, congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi!"
...
【Name】: Wenhua Building
[Type]: Hidden buildings
[Function]: Hang the portrait of a civil servant in the building, and it can be revived once without damage
[Characteristics]: Civil servant attraction rate increased by 20%, territory popularity increased by 5%
[Explanation]: This is a treasure building specially set up for civil officials. The lord can spend a certain amount of gold coins to invite a certain number of portraits of civil officials into the main building, and revive them once without damage.
The Wenhua Building has four floors. The bottom floor is dedicated to the portraits of gold-level civil servants. The upper limit is 50 people, each costing 10,000 gold coins. The second floor is dedicated to the portraits of king-level civil servants.
The third floor is dedicated to portraits of imperial civil servants, with a maximum of ten people, each costing 200,000 gold coins. The top floor enshrines portraits of god-level civil servants, up to three people, each costing millions of gold coins.
With the Wenhua Building, Daxia's civil servants have an extra layer of protection.
Because of the limited number, Ouyang Shuo made a rule that civil servants invited into the Wenhua Building should only be judged by their performance. The best candidates in the annual assessment will have their portraits entered into the Wenhua Building.
At the same time, Ouyang Shuo specially reserved ten places for veterans like Gu Xiuwen and Zhao Dexian.
The arrival of Zeng Guofan, Cao Xueqin and others is just a microcosm of this talent flow. Among the more than forty historical talents, half of them came from the Qing Dynasty.
This is also understandable.
If it is not for no choice, there are several Hanchens, especially aspiring Hanchens, who are willing to serve under the Manchu rule. After appearing in the wilderness, Daxia gained the orthodoxy of the world, which was naturally their best choice.
Not to mention, there are also the role models of Li Hongzhang, Zhang Tingyu, Tian Wenjing and others.
As for the people from the Ming Dynasty, most of them were prime ministers, like Shang Ren. Although they were born in the Ming Dynasty, the wilderness of the Ming Dynasty was only one county, and there was no room for them to play, so they would naturally join other schools.
The arrival of this batch of civil officials has greatly consolidated the background of Daxia's civil officials, almost on par with the military generals group. Of course, there may be problems of one kind or another that follow.
In addition, there are unexpected surprises in Daxia this month.
