Chapter 192 Examination a thousand years ago
Zhang Er and Zhao Wu blinked and looked at each other silently, always feeling that something was wrong.
Zhang Er smiled awkwardly and said, "King Qin, the knights have fled thousands of miles here. They don't have much money with them, so they still need the generous help of King Qin."
"this..."
Ziying rubbed his chin and thought. The money in the treasury was still enough, but he didn't want to support those idle people in vain. Moreover, all the knights in the world came because of Zhang Er's name. Even if they were willing to help him, over time, it was Zhang Er's who really became stronger.
power.
Those knights not only wanted to help Da Qin, but they couldn't regard Zhang Er as a benefactor. They also had to choose capable people...
Ziying's head hurt thinking about it.
Seeing Ziying's hesitation, Zhang Er decided that it was probably impossible to do it at this time, silently sighed and shook his head.
"The King of Qin has just acquired Yongdi, and the treasury will be full in the future. Why should he care so much about money?" Zhao Wu said anxiously.
Ziying was thoughtful and didn't answer. Suddenly, another headache that had caused him thousands of years later appeared in his mind, which just happened to be the solution.
"I don't care about money, I just think about how to avoid recruiting incompetent people." Ziying said with a smile.
"How is that possible?" Zhang Er smiled bitterly. Each of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period had thousands of diners, and there were very few people who could help them. They only raised those people for a good reputation, and to try to attract really capable people to come.
"Actually, the Prime Minister of Great Qin had this plan a long time ago. I just forgot about it for a while." Ziying concealed it.
"King Qin, please speak." Zhang Er became interested.
"This plan is called the 'examination'." Ziying said with a smile, "King Changshan recruited knights with his reputation. After the knights arrived in Qin, they would then compete with the people of Qin in civil and military affairs, or test each other with events to classify the knights into different grades."
Zhang Er and Zhao Wu concentrated their attention. This was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
"The good ones can be sealed and given official posts, and the good ones will also be useful. As for the bad ones, I can only provide some money and let them return the way they came." Ziying explained.
Zhang Er frowned and said, "The King of Qin's plan is inappropriate. The knights are all arrogant people. It's okay to be rewarded. But being refused to return home is a great shame and humiliation for them."
"It's indeed inappropriate." Zhao Wu agreed.
Ziying secretly laughed, waiting for Zhang Er to say this.
"I haven't finished talking yet." Ziying said with a smile, "Whenever a good person comes, I will give King Changshan a lot of rewards, and King Changshan can use these to support the inferior ones. This will also give Changshan King a lot of rewards."
The mountain king gains fame and gets the best of both worlds."
Zhang Er pondered for a long time and noticed something strange. If they were all inferior, then there would be no money to support them. He secretly laughed that Ziying was indeed a foolish king, he could not even imagine this.
Zhang Er secretly made up his mind that if an inferior person comes, he will let Guan Gao and others train him for some time, in order to become a middle person, or even an excellent person, so as to obtain the reward of Ziying.
"This is a very clever plan." Zhang Er cupped his hands and said, "I will send my knights to go to various countries to recruit knights."
"Then there is King Laochangshan."
The three of them reached an agreement, and after getting tipsy, Zhao Wu supported Zhang Er and slowly left the palace.
Ziying looked at Zhang Er's back and couldn't help but secretly laugh. Even if the earliest imperial examination had begun, the candidates would thank the king and the examiner, but they would never thank the "recruiter." Even if Zhang Er had the ability to turn bad things into good ones, there would be
The knight's gratitude is also the greatest benefit for Da Qin. What's more, with Chen Ping here, the knight's thoughts are just a plaything.
"The heroes of the world have come to my rescue."
Ziying was about to return to the palace to rest when Lu Jia, dressed in white, walked quickly from a distance.
"Your Majesty, Hancheng... has been destroyed!" Lu Jia's face turned red with anxiety.
"Impossible." Ziying said with a smile, "With Mr. Zifang here, even Han Xin can easily attack. Mr. Zifang only needs to hold on, and no matter how powerful the Western Wei Dynasty's tactics are, it will be useless."
Lu Jia hurriedly took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, this is the letter from Mr. Zifang to me."
Ziying's heart tightened and he grabbed the silk cloth. It was indeed Zhang Liang's handwriting, asking Lu Jia to persuade him to attack Wei to save Han. Zhang Liang wanted Ziying to send troops yesterday.
"Prime Minister Lu, there is no need to worry, it's just one day late." Ziying explained, "Hancheng is good at resisting defense and will not be destroyed easily."
"Mr. Zifang will not ask the king easily due to past calculations. This time it must be a last resort. It is probably too late." Lu Jia lowered his head and sighed.
"There is some truth in this statement, but..."
Before he finished speaking, a pigeon flew down into the pavilion. Ziying untied the letter on the pigeon's leg, which contained the news of Zhang Liang's escape and the destruction of Hancheng.
Unexpectedly, the State of Chu also participated and destroyed Hancheng. After a close encounter with the Western Wei Dynasty, the two countries faced off at the chasm.
"Is Mr. Zifang living in the Chu region?" Ziying frowned, "If he is captured by the Chu army, given his status, he may be in serious danger."
"Mr. Zifang should go to Qi and Pi, but both Qi and Chu are in danger," Lu Jia added.
Ziying subconsciously looked at Lu Jia. His strategic ability had greatly increased overnight, and Huang Shigong's book was indeed very powerful.
"The ground is flat again." Ziying murmured.
Lingfen went to Qidi. Zhao Ji's expression changed drastically when she mentioned Qidi. Zhang Liang once lived in Qidi...
Although they were thousands of miles apart, there seemed to be something somewhere waiting for him.
"I will send people to look for Mr. Ziying secretly, Prime Minister, don't worry." Ziying said soothingly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's a pity that you missed the opportunity to recruit Mr. Zifang again." Lu Jia lowered his head and sighed.
Lu Jia's strategy may not be inferior to Zhang Liang's in the future, but Zhang Liang mastered the Qimen Dunjia technique. Ziying, who did not believe in this, was captured by Wei. Zhang Er said that he was curious and could not give up on Zhang Liang easily.
"Is it fate?" Ziying smiled bitterly, "If this letter arrives early, I can still win Mr. Zifang's favor by sending troops."
The two were silent for a moment.
"Prime Minister Lu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back to your home and draw up a test method for literati and chivalrous people. It will be of great use to you." Ziying said.
Lu Jia looked around and saw no one around and whispered, "I really have an important matter to discuss with you."
Ziying was confused and quietly leaned in.
