Chapter 175 Old Man, Ugly Man, Water Thief? And the villager? Big-eared thieves still charge money!
Liu Bei laughed and said,
“In someone’s opinion, looks and talent have nothing to do with each other”
“Personality is born from the heart. The appearance before the age of thirty is given by the parents. The appearance after the age of thirty is much more related to a person’s character and disposition.”
Huang Chengyan praised,
“Mr. Xuande, what you said is true!”
Pang Tong’s eyes lit up, yes, how can I blame myself for looking like this? Liu Bei smiled at Pang Tong,
“Your name is Pang Tong? Pang Shiyuan?”
Pang Tong clasped his fists, “Exactly” Liu Bei said with a smile,
“Pang Shiyuan, are you interested in being the secretary of my Hussar General’s residence?”
Pang Tong’s eyes lit up, this is Liu Bei – the subordinate officer next to him,
He quickly clasped his fists together, “This subordinate has seen the lord!”
Liu Bei helped him up,
“Jingzhou Fengchu, I didn’t say—was it wrong?”
Pang Tongtong was startled, it turned out that Duke Xuande knew about himself a long time ago.
Everyone around is sour,
A well-known ugly man in Jingzhou like Pang Tong can be reused by Duke Xuande.
There was a lot of discussion,
“I know, Lord Xuande must be buying a horse bone with a lot of money.”
“Yes, even if Pang Tong is accepted, other talents should not flock here.” Pang Tong’s face was a little bad, he didn’t want to be that horse bone,
Those who buy horse bones can throw them away, so do the wedding dresses! He has real talents in his hands.
Liu Bei suddenly shouted,
“Everyone, I didn’t choose Pang Shiyuan because of some money to buy a horse bone. In my opinion, Pang Tong has the talent to manage the world and is good at ingenuity. In the future, he will definitely rank among the three princes and nine ministers.”
Everyone gasped, they didn’t expect Duke Xuande to have such a high opinion of Pang Tong.
Pang Tong was already in tears, and his heart was very touched. He didn’t expect Duke Xuande to value him so much.
He suffered nearly twenty years of grievances because of his looks, and all of them disappeared in an instant.
He made up his mind that he must devote himself to Duke Xuande!
The live broadcast room also exploded,
“Fuck, this guy looks too shabby…”
“Big Ear Thief is sure to see him every day, he will be in a good mood.”
“This Pang Tong doesn’t look very smart, unlike little brother Lu Xun who is super delicate.”
“The big-eared thief took an old man and a water thief in Jingzhou, and now he’s an ugly man again? Awesome!”
“I only care about how much money the big-eared thief has collected this time. He also wants to collect wool in Jingzhou!”
The wedding continues,
Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Bei’s back and thought to himself, “He accepts people like Pang Tong? My house…”
Liu Bei drank a few rounds of wine with everyone. The Ma family in Xiangyang, that is, the Ma family with “the five permanent members of the Ma family and the best white eyebrows”, intends to go to Chang’an to do business.
Liu Bei readily agreed and said that he could send his children to Chang’an Academy to study. If Ma Liang was not in his early tenth year, Liu Bei would have wanted to make him an official.
Everyone drank until late at night,
Liu Beicai entered the inner courtyard with the help of the maid, and the well-dressed Yuan Shi had been waiting for a long time.
After completing the ceremony,
Liu Bei sat beside Yuan Shi, holding her slender waist, “Miss, wait a long time.”
With a smile on the corner of Yuan’s mouth, she said sweetly,
“Naturally, Xianggong focuses on major events. There are many talents in Jingzhou, so Xianggong can take the opportunity to recruit more talents.”
Liu Bei laughed and said,
“I really received a talent…”
After hearing this, Yuan Shi covered her mouth and snickered,
“I’m afraid this Pang Shiyuan is already overwhelmed with gratitude. My father is not as good-looking as Uncle Benchu, and he has been less popular since he was a child.”
Liu Bei sighed secretly, even the Yuan family, the fourth generation and third prince, valued appearance very much. It is really difficult for Pang Tong to stand out like this.
He embraced Yuan Shi’s waist,
“Miss, don’t talk about this, look, it’s late at night, let’s talk about something else.” Yuan Shi was so charming that she nodded slightly,
“The prince is the master”
The candles in the room jumped suddenly, and the faces of the two people were even hotter.
In the early morning of the second day, under the service of Yuan Shi, Liu Bei got dressed and went out.
come to the lobby,
Pang Tong has sorted out the documents and is waiting there.
He also specially wore new clothes today, looking particularly energetic.
Liu Bei laughed and said,
“Shiyuan, drank so much last night, and woke up so early.” Pang Tong clasped his fists,
“My lord, I can’t wait to start working last night.”
Liu Bei laughed out loud, how could his boss not love such an employee.
At this time, Guo Jia, Lu Xun, Tai Shici, Zhang Fei, and Gan Ning, who was here, all came.
Liu Bei greeted everyone,
“Since everyone is here, let’s listen to Shi Yuan’s analysis of what we will do next.”
Pang Tong knew that Liu Bei was asking him to show off in front of everyone.
He cleared his throat,
“Jingzhou has accepted many celebrities from the north. My lord will stay in Jingzhou for a month. Naturally, more talents will be recruited to get acquainted with the local gentry in Jingzhou.”
Guo Jia nodded, building a good relationship with the local gentry, the obstacles to taking control of Jingzhou in the future will be much smaller.
Pang Tong handed over a bamboo slip,
“My lord, this is the relationship between the gentry in Jingzhou that I have listed, and I have suggestions for recruiting talents.”
Liu Bei was startled,
“Shi Yuan was prepared long ago, he really is a great talent”
He picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them, which clearly stated the relationship between the main gentry families in Jingzhou, the relationship between the Huang family and the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Ma family, the Yang family, etc.
Behind is a list,
Nanyang County: Huang Zhong, Li Yan, Lu Chang, Fu Xun Xiangyang: Gan Ning, Xiang Lang, Xi Hong, Xi Zhen, Nanjun: Feng Xi, Huo Jun, etc.,
There are also Cuizhou Pingping and others on the list, which also lists in detail, personal preferences and so on.
Liu Bei let out a long sigh,
“It’s a great kindness to get Shiyuan to help!”
Dong Yun, Yang Yi, Jiang Wan, Pan Jun and others are still young, so naturally they did not make the list.
Liu Bei showed Pang Tong’s bamboo slips to everyone, and Guo Jia liked it.
“Originally we were not familiar with Jingzhou, but with the content on the bamboo slips, we don’t need to cross the river by touching the stones. Shi Yuan is indeed a great talent!”
Pang Tong quickly expressed his humility. Guo Jia was very smart and had followed Liu Bei very early. Pang Tong respected him very much.
Tai Shici and Lu Xun said that Mr. Pang is a great talent! Zhang Fei and Pang Tong are very close,
“Pang Shiyuan, you are so talented, you must drink more tonight!”
Guo Jia was a little puzzled.
“Shiyuan, I can understand other people, who is this Zhuge Liang who you put first?”
…Pang Tong clasped his fists together,
“Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, a native of Langya County, is currently living in seclusion in Longzhong. He is my good friend. This person has the ability to know the world, and he is not as good as him.”
Zhang Fei was taken aback,
“A villager? Very good?”
Everyone is a little puzzled,
Liu Bei naturally knew Zhuge Liang’s talent, he might not be as good as Guo Jia as a counselor, but he surpassed Guo Jia in terms of strategy, internal affairs, commander, etc.
Liu Bei laughed and said,
“Zhuge Kongming aside, everyone else on the list will post to me, asking them to come and drink with me”
“promise!”
…
In Caiyang County, Wei Yan, the uncle of the city gate, finished his day’s work and planned to go home for dinner.
A soldier found him,
“Uncle, someone said that he is the messenger of Duke Xuande, please go to Xiangyang for a drink.” Wei Yan…
He thought he had heard wrong,
“But Duke Xuande who is so powerful in the world?”
After receiving the affirmative reply from the messenger,
Wei Yan trembled with excitement, unexpectedly, Duke Xuande knew that Yiyang had Wei Yan!
0……
Soon Cai Yangcheng became a sensation,
Wei Yan, who is arrogant and has always been disliked by the county magistrate, unexpectedly received an invitation from Xuande Gong!
The county magistrate who had despised Wei Yan before went directly to Wei Yan’s home to express his congratulations. Wei Yan’s old mother was also very excited.
“Son, that is Duke Xuande, who has countless living people. He thinks highly of you, and he must serve Duke Xuande in the future!”
Naturally, Wei Yan fully agreed, resigned from his position as uncle, and went to Xiangyang City with weapons.
This kind of thing is also happening in other places in Jingzhou.
a few days later,
Li Yan, Wei Yan, Xiang Lang, Feng Xi, Huo Jun, and Cui Zhouping rushed to the post house, and Liu Bei naturally entertained them warmly. After drinking for three rounds,
Liu Bei cupped his fists,
“Everyone, there are outstanding people in Jingzhou. They are all outstanding talents. I would like to invite you to work in Guanzhong.”
Li Yan, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Xiang Lang and others all clasped their fists together, “I would like to be sent by Mr. Xuande!”
Liu Bei appointed Li Yan as the magistrate of Lantian County, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, and Liang Xi as school lieutenants on the spot.
Xiang Lang and Cui Zhouping were the recorders for the Hussar General’s Mansion and so on.
Huo Jun’s brother, Huo Du, was a captain under Liu Biao’s tent, and he was only a subordinate, so he could leave at any time, so as not to make Liu Biao sad again.
Liu Bei drank and ate meat with the crowd that night.
Talk at night while holding candles, let everyone be convinced!
When Liu Biao heard about this, he didn’t know what to say. Liu Bei was stranded in Xiangyang to save his wife, so he found a few leftovers to work in Guanzhong. He really couldn’t say anything.
“Uncle? Du Bo? How does Liu Bei think that these people can become talents?”
However, Xiang Lang and Cui Zhouping took refuge in Liu Bei, which still made Liu Biao unhappy.
In the next few days,
The talents recruited by Liu Bei all ate and drank in the post house,
Wei Yan soon won the attention of Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, he can fight without him! Li Yan is both civil and military, Wen Neng chatted with Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others,
Wu, he can also compete with Zhang Fei and Tai Shici.
A special guest came to the posthouse this day,
Cai Mao, Liu Biao’s military advisor! Ten thousand
