Chapter 117 Talent
"Build the road! Build the road! First, arrest two capable officials to be in charge of building the road!"
Relying on modern information, Guo Hao easily obtained the production formulas of cement, asphalt and other things. What he lacked now was civil officials who could do road planning.
When Guo Hao went to see Jia Xu before, Jia Xu directly stuffed the things into the pile of documents.
Jia Xu also knew that building roads was a necessary task, but with internal and external troubles, he really couldn't spare the time to take charge of these issues.
The reason for getting Guo Hao out of Luoyang was to quell internal troubles, but also because manpower was indeed needed.
Otherwise, Jia Xu would not be willing to take the risk.
Even though he had great confidence in Xu Rong and others, Jia Xu was still using himself as bait to fish.
For Jia Xu, who was always thinking about protecting himself, this was simply a fantasy in the past. If the current plan was placed in front of him in the past, he would definitely sweep it into the trash heap. He was not a man willing to take risks.
"Yingchuan, we're finally here!" Guo Hao exclaimed as he looked outside the Yingchuan County government office in front of him.
He was a little tired after so many days of marching. Every day he just kept marching without any passion at all.
Even Princess Wannian felt a little tired. Traveling was the most tiring thing, and sometimes she would go hunting when she felt like it, which made her even more tired.
Sun Ce was the only one in the entire convoy who was still energetic. Although his neck was still a little crooked, his heroic temperament attracted many people along the way.
Guo Hao watched with a numb face as one after another civil officials and military generals voluntarily led their troops to join him.
Yan Wen, Su Ze, Niu Jin... Guo Hao vaguely remembered that these .
Although most of them were third-rate civil officials and second-rate military generals, Guo Hao didn't pick up any of them.
When Guo Hao saw Sun Ce slip away to who knows where and then bring back another third-rate civil official, Guo Hao gave up struggling.
Everyone has different joys and sorrows. He just thought Sun Ce was noisy.
"E Lai, let Sun Ce be quiet!"
Following Guo Hao's angry order, Sun Ce was knocked to the ground by Dian Wei again.
This time Dian Wei figured out Sun Ce's endurance limit and went straight into combat mode, using 80% of his strength, knocking Sun Ce unconscious with one move and throwing him onto the horse to fend for himself.
Even Liu Ying found a woman who had reached the peak of internal energy on the road and sought refuge with her, but he was the only one who got nothing.
Guo Hao was a little dazed as he looked at the three-legged golden crow emitting golden light behind him. Behind Sun Ce was a purple and gold dragon, and behind Liu Ying was a blue phoenix emitting purple light.
Judging from the appearance and strength, he should be the face emperor who can pick up anything wherever he goes, so how come he gets nothing?
Is it time for sunset?
Guo Hao was puzzled and felt depressed all the way.
Chen Liang, the prefect of Yingchuan County, came hurriedly to pay his respects. He was scared to death when he received the news.
He directly blocked the city gates, mobilized all the defensive forces in the city to be on guard, and notified the aristocratic families one by one, asking them to send private soldiers to assist in the defense.
Having just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how could he not panic when more than 5,000 troops of unknown identity, who were obviously the elite among the elite, were heading towards Yingchuan?
Only after he received the imperial edict with the imperial seal did he finally put his mind at ease.
It is strange to say that the edicts stamped by the imperial seal will have a faint trace of national destiny, which is perfect for identifying .
"Mr. Chen, there is no need to panic. It is just a coincidence that the Marquis and Her Royal Highness the Princess passed by here. However, I heard that Yingchuan is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so I plan to find some talented people for the court here." Guo Hao did not make things difficult for Chen Liang. The environment under the governance of Yingchuan County was good, and Chen Liang was a capable minister.
Guo Hao has always been very tolerant towards capable people.
"General, you are too polite. There are many talented people in Yingchuan, among whom the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Sima family are all outstanding. How about I host a banquet on your behalf and invite them all?" Chen Liang didn't know whether he was dizzy or trying to please Guo Hao, but he actually planned to take the initiative to take the task of finding talents on himself.
You know, if he fails to recommend talented people, Guo Hao will dismiss him from his post, which will be the least of his worries. He can also find a reason to kill him, and people will not say anything. Chen Liang is simply asking for trouble.
"If I'm looking for talent, I'd better go there in person to show my sincerity." Guo Hao laughed. Chen Liang was a good person, but it was not realistic to expect him to go to a wealthy family to ask for someone.
Although Chen Liang was the prefect of Yingchuan County, it was just that to the major families in Yingchuan.
If it weren't for the remaining power of the Han Dynasty, a second-rate and weaker person like Chen Liang would have been killed by other aristocratic families in Yingchuan long ago.
Three days later, Guo Hao headed towards the main residence of the Chen family. He accompanied Princess Wannian on a tour during the past few days and collected some intelligence. After making sufficient preparations , he began to visit several major families.
The aristocratic families in Luoyang are very smart, but the young people from the thousand-year-old families are easier to use. Most of the old people have rigid thinking that cannot be reshaped, so it is easier to fool these capable newcomers from the aristocratic families.
When the time comes, throw the world map in the faces of these young people, and I believe the intrigues among the aristocratic families will no longer attract them.
After all, only by seeing the scenery outside can you not be confined to the bottom of the well.
Guo Hao was not worried that other players would be able to get ahead of him. After all, these noble families looked down on even Liu Bei at this time, so how could they look down on some strangers of unknown origin?
Even if someone is willing to join the army, it is impossible for them to be the top local civil officials, at least not now.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" An out-of-control carriage was rushing across the street, and a frail young man was unable to dodge and was about to be hit.
Guo Hao added his talent to the boy at the right time, and the thin boy was intact under the golden light.
The owner of the carriage got off in a hurry to check the boy's injuries. He only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the boy was not seriously injured.
"Thank you for your help! I was here for fun, but my carriage suddenly lost control and almost caused a disaster."
The owner of the carriage did not shirk his responsibility. He not only gave the young man a bag of money as compensation, but also gave Guo Hao a bag.
He left only after the young man forgave him.
"Thank you for your help!" The pale-faced young man bowed and expressed his gratitude.
If Guo Hao had not taken action, he might have been hit to death by the carriage. After all, his body was so weak now.
"Young Master, Young Master, are you okay?" Only then did the girl beside the boy come to her senses and looked at the boy with tears in her eyes.
He didn't calm down until he was sure that the boy was not hurt.
"Thank you for your rescue, benefactor. Please come to my humble home, we will express our gratitude!" After the girl calmed down, the young man invited Guo Hao to go home, and there was a calmness in his words.
