Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 192 Li Zhi recruits people, rather lack than abuse

In the field of the courtyard, a crystal clear glass cover is upside down on the soil.

Objects like gems were discarded so casually, showing the luxury of the palace.

But other than that, there's really nothing worth saying.

The two who saw the glass for the first time couldn't help but look at the field a few more times.

Li Zhi noticed their gazes, looked over together, and said with a smile: "This thing is the product of this king's playfulness. It is a whimsical way to grow the crops that this king personally planted. It's a pity." This thing has not moved yet, I am afraid it has failed."

Walking closer, he took a look at the situation inside the glass cover.

Seeing that the soil inside remained unchanged, Li Zhi shook his head in disappointment.

"Sure enough, I wasted all my painstaking efforts, but this also proves that if you don't work hard, you will definitely be rewarded. It can be regarded as another way to give back to this king a great gift."

Talking to himself, Li Zhi waved to Huang Fu and told him to go back to the restaurant in Dongshi to buy some food and drinks.

Then, Li Zhi entertained several people to the study, intending to talk about some serious business.

After arranging seats for several people, Li Zhi knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention.

"Perhaps you are already guessing in your heart that this king went to Shangshu Province on purpose to find out the intentions of the few of you."

"This king doesn't play charades with you, so let's make it clear."

Li Zhi smiled at them, especially when he looked at Pei Xingjian and Liu Chengzhi, the smile in his eyes was very obvious.

"I took a fancy to the abilities of the two of you and planned to recruit you to Prince Jin's Palace, so I specially called you here."

Although Liu Chengzhi and Pei Xingjian had guessed for a long time, when they heard Li Zhi express their intentions, their hearts were still agitated.

Especially Liu Chengzhi, who was so excited that he needed to take a deep breath to calm down.

"Your Highness... what you said is true...?"

An excited voice came out of Liu Chengzhi's mouth, and his arms kept shaking, showing how nervous he was at the moment.

Seeing Li Zhi nodding slightly, Liu Chengzhi's mouth directly became an O shape.

But the next moment, Liu Chengzhi seemed to have calmed down and asked a crucial question.

"I don't know how the two of us have the virtue and ability to get the attention of His Royal Highness Jin Wang?"

Famous and capable people will naturally be favored by the superiors.

But it's okay for Pei Xingjian to say that at least he has the status of a nobleman.

How could he, Liu Chengzhi, allow Li Zhi to recruit him himself?
Thinking about it carefully, he seems more like a gift from Pei Xingjian, a superfluous existence.

Although the facts were true and Liu Chengzhi could accept Li Zhi's olive branch, he still wanted to hear His Highness's answer.

After all, no one wants to be a foil, no matter how incompetent a person is, he still hopes to be affirmed by others.

Li Zhi's eyes were locked on Liu Chengzhi, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is not easy to see through a person's qualities.

But in Li Zhi's eyes, there are data that others cannot see as support.

It can let him see at a glance that a person is different.

For example, Liu Chengzhi, his numerical value is not something ordinary people can possess.

Liu Chengzhi felt that he was a foil, which undoubtedly showed a lack of self-knowledge.

His various numerical values ​​are much higher than he thought.

[Name: Liu Chengzhi.

Strategies: 62
Literature: 30
Politics: 65
Eloquence: 83
Communication: 90
Business:78. 】

……

Just looking at the first three data, compared with the children of other officials, they are not even outstanding.

Not to mention a noble son from a top wealthy family like Cui Zhiwen, even the second generation of ordinary officials can't compare.

Especially literature, a key data for selecting talents in ancient times, can be described as appalling.

But in comparison, this guy's data on interpersonal communication is unavoidable.

Communication skills as high as 90!

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a rich second generation from a family of merchants?

If he hadn't come from a humble background, he would definitely be able to leave a name in history based on his communication skills, okay?
It's a pity that his status is too low, even worse than a farmer's. It has to be said that this is a pity.

But then again, if you weren't from a merchant family, you wouldn't be able to have such incredible communication skills, right?

"You don't need to belittle yourself at all. If you didn't see a bright spot in you, this king would not easily recruit you."

Li Zhi withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Di Huaiying. This king has rejected many young talents. If you want to enter my Jin Palace, don't even think about it if you don't have the ability."

He has always adhered to the principle of "it is better to be deficient than to waste."

There are very strict requirements on the ability and conduct of subordinates.

Especially in terms of ability, if you don't have any skills, don't expect to get his attention.

If it was just a foil, Li Zhi would at most tactfully hint that the other party would leave instead of inviting him to the Jin Palace for dinner together.

Liu Chengzhi didn't know whether the words were true or not, and subconsciously looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie sighed deeply: "If you say that the classmates I brought into the Jin Palace, there are more than 100 if not [-]. Your Highness actually looks down on any one of them. Those people in the Imperial College scolded me behind my back. To tease them, but I really don't, it's just that His Highness doesn't like them, what can I do?"

The more Di Renjie talked, the more wronged he became, and finally he gave Li Zhi a resentful look to express his depression.

This performance can be described as showing true feelings.

When Liu Chengzhi heard it, he believed it for the most part.

He couldn't help looking at Li Zhi with grateful eyes.

Sometimes, the kindness of knowing you can also move people beyond their control.

Especially to be recognized by such a powerful and capable population as King Jin will undoubtedly give him unprecedented confidence.

Don't underestimate self-confidence, sometimes a little self-confidence can change a person's life.

What's more, Li Zhi has already shown his intention of soliciting, which makes Liu Chengzhi even more excited.

But when it comes to Pei Xingjian, it's not that simple.

As a son of a noble family, having self-confidence is a basic quality. He will not shed tears of gratitude just because of this small recognition.

In contrast, the allure of the letter of recommendation is greater for him.

The results of the imperial examination have not yet come out, and it will take some time.

If he wins the exam successfully, Pei Xingjian will not even consider Li Zhi's solicitation.

After all, the price is too high, which is not acceptable to ordinary people.

But when the results of the imperial examination did not appear, things were different.

This is the era of the official standard, who can miss the opportunity to be an official?
