The strongest Marquis in history

Du Can smiled and said, "Magistrate Wang, I wonder if what I said is correct?"

Wang Qidao: "Mr. Du's vision is like a torch, I admire it."

He didn't puncture Du Can's words, because Du Can's analysis was a decision that most people would make at the moment, and they all wanted to return to the center of the imperial court.

It's a pity that Wang Qi didn't do it for fame.

Wang Qi came to the local area for real benefit and to have his own foundation.

But there is no need to offend Du Can's famous people.

It is beneficial for Wang Qi to win people's hearts.

Du Can stroked the messy beard under his chin, and said: "The county magistrate Wang is absurd, and it is not worth mentioning. To be honest, my little talent, compared to my teacher, is the light of the firefly competing with the bright moon. .”

Wang Qi's spirit lifted.

coming!

He valued Du Can, to be honest, he valued Du Can's identity and the connections between celebrities like Du Can.

If Nanyang wants to develop, it cannot rely solely on Wang Qi's army, and it cannot only rely on doctors, but also needs more scholars.In the near future, with countless celebrities gathering in Nanyang, Wang Qi's influence will increase.

In the long run, for Nanyang to develop and Wang Qi to have sufficient stamina in the future, a large number of talents are needed to form an echelon.Therefore, the continuous gathering of celebrities can guarantee the foundation.

Wang Qi looked serious, and asked: "I don't know Mr. Du, who did he learn from? Mr. Du is so talented, you can imagine how powerful Mr. Du's teacher must be."

Du Can raised his head and said to himself, "Master, Cao Qisheng!"

Wang Qi frowned suddenly.

He knew Cao Qisheng, he was a man in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

He is also a famous Confucian scholar.

To put it bluntly, Wang Qi's teacher Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong are juniors in front of Cao Qisheng, and they have to stand obediently and stop training.

Cao Qisheng is Ma Ying's peer, but in the same era, Ma Ying is more outstanding.

Ma Ying, a Confucian leader of the previous generation, was the teacher of Lin Yuanchong and Cui Dongshan.

It's just that after Ma Ying's generation of celebrities and scholars passed away one after another, only Cao Qisheng was left in the end.Then Cao Qisheng has great influence.After all, a person's fame and influence are not only based on knowledge, but also on who has a longer life span.

The longer you live, the greater your influence.

For example, Cao Qisheng, he and Ma Ying belong to the same generation, although Lin Yuanchong is a contemporary Confucian leader, in fact, if Lin Yuanchong and Cao Qisheng were together, Lin Yuanchong would have to be restrained everywhere and respect Cao Qisheng.

This is the benefit of seniority and age.

After all, Cao Qisheng's age is already over eighty, so he can be called Renrui.

Wang Qi thought about it, but with a serious expression on his face, he said solemnly: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Du is a disciple of Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao is famous all over the world, and he is a well-known Confucian. Mr. Du is Mr. Cao's disciple." Disciple, it's really not easy. Speaking of it, according to this seniority, Mr. Du is my elder."

Du Can suddenly became interested and asked, "How do you say?"

Wang Qi smiled, and said: "Family teacher Cui Dongshan, teacher Bo Lin Yuanchong, all learn from Ma Ying. Master Ma Ying, and Cao Gong are also close friends."

After a pause, Wang Qi said: "Dare to ask Mr. Du, where is Mr. Cao now? Now that you know Mr. Cao, how can you not pay a visit? If you don't visit, the news will reach the ears of your family teacher and uncle. I'm afraid I'm going to be reprimanded."

Du Can was surprised and said, "The magistrate Wang's teacher is Cui Dongshan? The uncle is Lin Yuanchong?"

"Yes!"

Wang Qi replied with a smile.

Du Can's cheeks twitched, and the expression he looked at Wang Qi showed a touch of humility instead of the previous ostentation and airs, as well as the slightly arrogant attitude.

The lineage of Lin Yuanchong and Cui Dongshan has always been considered as the lineage of Confucian leaders.

There have been great Confucianists in the past dynasties.

Leaders.

Now that it has been reported to Wang Qi, it is clear that Wang Qi's future is boundless.

Du Can smiled sheepishly, and said: "Speaking of which, although I am a disciple under the teacher's sect, but I have never been included in the sect wall. I have been listening to the teacher's lectures at Jiuxing Mountain, so I can be regarded as the teacher's disciple."

At this time, Du Can's tone obviously lost the previous confidence.

He considered himself a disciple of Cao Qisheng.

But Du Can himself only listened to the lectures under Cao Qisheng and asked some questions, unlike Wang Qi who really apprenticed.

Once Wang Qizhen went to visit, it would be revealed.

Just say it directly.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Cao has recruited many disciples and let the scholars go to attend the lectures. Mr. Du is listening to Mr. Cao's class. He is naturally a disciple of Mr. Cao. What's more, Mr. Du has a brilliant literary talent. Duke Cao's disciple is the title."

Du Can breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, Wang Qi never exposed it.

Give him a slope down.

Because of this, Du Can's impression of Wang Qi was elevated and his impression became very good.

Du Can smiled and said, "Magistrate Wang praised Miao."

Wang Qi changed the subject, and said: "Mr. Du is in Nanyang now, what are his plans? Well, speaking of it, Mr. Wang's official position is also humble, just a county magistrate. Otherwise, I really want to recruit Mr. Du, and I can't let Mr. Du left."

What kind of temperament Du Can is, Wang Qi is not sure for the time being.

So, now is the verbal temptation.

Du Can said: "Du, if you are willing to follow the county magistrate Wang, it is enough to serve as an aide."

Although Du Can is talented and talented in writing, he also knows that he does not have much background and it is not easy to set foot in the officialdom.Wang Qi is different. Wang Qi is the legitimate son of the Wang family in Youzhou and the only heir of the Wang family.

Not only was Wang Qi highly regarded by the emperor, he was also a disciple of Cui Dongshan, with a prominent status.

Under such a background, Wang Qifei's prosperity is just around the corner.

So Du Can was willing to follow Wang Qi early on and work under Wang Qi's command.As long as Wang Qi rises up, the people he followed Wang Qi early in the morning will naturally not be treated too badly.

Wang Qi also had a bright smile, and said: "With Mr. Du's help, I will be even more powerful."

Du Can said: "My lord praises Miao."

He changed his attitude directly.

Since he followed Wang Qi, as Wang Qi's staff, it was naturally impossible to call him magistrate Wang.

You must have the attitude you should have.

Wang Qi changed the subject and asked again: "Mr. Du, where is Cao Gong now?"

Chapter 285 Recommend Talents

Du Can replied without hesitation: "My lord, the place where the teacher lives is in Huang County, the seat of Donglai County, Qingzhou. But the teacher is not in the city, but in Jiuxing Mountain outside the city."

"Teacher settled in Jiuxing Mountain. Because of the teacher's reputation, there are no bandits attacking Jiuxing Mountain for the time being."

"Even so, Jiuxing Mountain is still under threat."

"After all, you can't pin your hopes on the good conscience of the thieves. So all the people gathered in Jiuxing Mountain are all trying to persuade the teacher, hoping that the teacher will leave Jiuxing Mountain and live in a safe place."

Du Can sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the teacher is unwilling, and we can't persuade him for the time being."

"In fact, when bandits and bandits were rampant in Donglai County, the teacher called everyone who gathered in Jiuxing Mountain together, saying that Jiuxing Mountain might become a place of right and wrong, and made everyone disperse."

"You can't stay in Jiuxing Mountain."

"Because if you stay in Jiuxing Mountain, you may face danger."

Du Can said: "That's why I left Jiuxing Mountain, looking for a safe place. I kept looking for it, but I couldn't find it. I followed the exiled people and wandered around. Later, when I heard the news from Nanyang, I just came to Nanyang."

Wang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Cao Qisheng is still in Qingzhou.

This is an opportunity.

If Cao Qisheng can be persuaded to invite Cao Qisheng to run a school in Nanyang, Nanyang will become famous all over the world and will be known by countless people.

This is Wang Qi's opportunity.

When Du Can saw Wang Qi's appearance, he immediately understood what Wang Qi was thinking, and asked, "My lord's plan is to go to Jiuxing Mountain to persuade the teacher, and invite the teacher to live in Nanyang?"

Wang Qi nodded and said: "I have this idea. On the one hand, if Nanyang wants to develop, it needs great Confucian elders like Mr. Cao; on the other hand, Mr. Cao is not safe enough in Donglai County, Qingzhou."

Du Can shook his head and said: "The teacher is getting older, his knowledge is getting more and more profound, but his temper is becoming more and more stubborn, and he can't persuade him at all. When everyone left Jiuxing Mountain, they once persuaded the teacher to evacuate Jiuxing Mountain. Find a safe place to live."

"However, the teacher refused."

"The teacher insisted on not leaving, but let us leave."

Du Can said: "It's not easy for my lord to go to Dongnai County to lobby the teacher."

Wang Qi said: "It's okay, it's up to people. If you do it, you will still have some opportunities. If you want to quit, you won't invite at all, and you won't even have a chance."

Du Can said: "My lord is wise!"

Wang Qi took advantage of the situation and said: "Mr. Du understands the situation, so please ask Mr. Du to lead the way and follow me to Qingzhou. But for the time being, we have to deal with the affairs of the people. After three days, when everything in the barracks is on the right track, we will set off for the north. Qingzhou Donglai County."

Du Can said, "I obey my orders."

After a pause, Du Can said in a deep voice, "My lord, since I'm going to Donglai County, Qingzhou, I still have something to report."

Wang Qi said, "What's the matter?"

Du Can replied: "In Huang County, Donglai County, there is a man named Zong Xixiang. Zong Xixiang used to study under his teacher, but he left early. He is in Huang County, because he has no family background. , life is quite tight."

Wang Qi asked: "Zong Xixiang, what's so special about him?"

Du Can replied: "Zong Xixiang is a man with good knowledge. However, he is best at astronomy and geography. He can observe changes in astrology and predict changes in the weather. Such a talent does not seem to be of much use. In fact, it is still useful. And Zong Xixiang himself is very knowledgeable."

Wang Qi's eyes lit up.

In the eyes of many people, people like Zong Xi don't have much use and value.

Just like Du Can just said, Zong Xixiang is useful.

However, Wang Qi knew that this was very important, not to mention recognizing celestial phenomena and forecasting the weather, but just understanding geography, this alone was quite crucial.This era is not like the later generations, which have a positioning system and can use satellite maps to know the topography.

In this era, it is all up to oneself to find out the situation.

It is of great value to have someone who can understand geography and astronomy.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Do you know where Zong Xi Xiangren is in Huang County?"

Du Can said, "I know, he lives in the south of the city."

With a bright smile on Wang Qi's face, he said: "Okay, you can prepare, and we will go to Donglai County together later. Find Zong Xixiang first, and then visit Duke Cao."

"My lord is wise!"

Du Can said, with a smile on his face.

Wang Qi adopted his suggestion, which meant that Zong Xixiang would definitely be able to get out of the predicament.

Wang Qi talked to Du Can about other things, because Du Can's clothes were worn out, and he was slovenly along the way, so Wang Qi called the soldiers, and asked the soldiers to take Du Can down to wash and change his clothes again. .

After Du Can went down, Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother, Du Can, I know him. He has quite a literary talent, but his ability to manage government affairs is still somewhat lacking."

"It can be used, but it should be used with caution."

"Besides, you are also needed at the border of Nanyang right now. Are you really going to visit Cao Qisheng?"

"I also know a thing or two about Mr. Cao's temperament. He has always been willing to be mediocre and looked down on the world. It is not easy for you to persuade him to study in Nanyang."

Zhuge Feng said with a worried look on his face, "The most important point is that Qingzhou is too chaotic right now. There are countless thieves and bandits. If you go to Qingzhou, you may encounter danger."

Wang Qi said to himself: "Brother, I'm going because of the chaos in Qingzhou. Right now, Qingzhou is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and talents are everywhere. This is an excellent opportunity to recruit talents."

"If you miss this opportunity and want to recruit talents later, it will be impossible."

"In addition, this person who has no desires or desires in the world is a saint. As long as he is a human being, he will seek something. Whether he seeks fame, profit, or other things, he always has his own pursuit. .”

"So, I'm going to give it a try."

Wang Qi said: "A genius doctor like Dong Changsheng is used to living in no fixed place and traveling around. I have persuaded him. This time, I believe that I can also achieve my goal and let Cao Qisheng come to Nanyang."

After Zhugefeng listened, especially after hearing Wang Qi's words, he knew that it would be impossible to persuade Wang Qi.
