Chapter 43 Yu Fan Official Link [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Yu Fan had never seen such a shameless person who could say something was there when it was not there and claim that something else was his.

But this feeling of being valued also touched Yu Fan.

As he was struggling, Yu Fan saw the soldiers under Jin Mao standing under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, but no one dared to slack off.

I couldn't help but be very curious: "This matter is not urgent, can Jin Wushang introduce me to one or two of these elite soldiers?"

What could be more important than this?

The talent is right in front of us, and Jinmao is already eager for it and wants to get it on the spot.

However, in order to gain favor, Jin Mao still agreed with a smile, took Yu Fan's hand and began to invite: "Brother Yu, please!"

"Brother Yu, you came at the right time!"

"Today happens to be the day for military exercises. I will take Brother Yu to review it."

"It's an exaggeration to say that they are elite soldiers. They are not as good as the elite soldiers of the Central Plains."

This face is just short of saying: "My soldiers are the best in the world."

Yu Fan did not comment. His face was almost swollen from the slapping on the way here.

"Cough cough."

Although Jinmao wants to perform well in front of Yu Fan, strength is the most important.

"I declare the contest open!"

With the order, more than 1,100 people began to move.

The events are divided into two categories: one is marching in square formation without weapons, and the other is marching in square formation with weapons.

Since the company was established only recently, many projects have not yet been implemented. This time, Jinmao will only focus on whether it can enforce orders.

The mixed phalanx in the first echelon was impeccable. After many actual combat experiences, the phalanx of 200 people already had a murderous aura.

The second echelon.

Most of the Baiyue army formations were fine, with only a few that couldn't keep up. Jin Mao asked people to take note of them all.

When it came to the county soldiers' formation, the problem was much bigger. After all, the army had only been formed for more than a month, and Jin Mao only had people note down those who had fallen behind seriously.

When it was the turn of the third echelon of the Baiyue female soldiers' formation, not only Yu Fan was surprised, but even Jin Mao's eyes lit up.

Don't get the wrong idea, it's pure excellence: the neat formation and the maneuvers are comparable to the first-tier teams.

The only drawback is that the Type II phalanx is quite disorganized. After all, it has no experience in actual combat, and the army has only been formed a short time ago.

The drill is complete.

Jinmao announced the elimination list of each echelon on the spot.

The eliminated candidates were originally very disappointed, but with Jinmao announcing a new decision, their hope was rekindled.

"I will expand the army again and recruit 400 Baiyue men and 400 women to form the third team."

"No one from the original female army was eliminated, and all were promoted to the second team, with the same salary and benefits as the second team of the male army."

"Those eliminated from the original second team will be transferred to the third team. Those who fail the November assessment will be retired and become tenant farmers."

For a moment, the female soldiers of Baiyue hugged each other and cried with joy, while the male soldiers cheered and shouted "God, please be merciful."

The military benefits are really good.

Then, Jin Mao read out the decisions of the leaders of each army. Bai Shi's position remained unchanged, Pan Lin was temporarily appointed as the leader but would not be promoted to a permanent position, and Lan Zhi was promoted to the permanent position of the female army leader.

After the event, Jinmao held a grand celebratory dinner and cordially invited Yu Fan.

Yu Fan did not refuse.

At the dinner, Jinmao once again extended an olive branch to Yu Fan, throwing all kinds of free promises at Yu Fan.

"It wasn't that hard for me to chase my own messenger. If you still don't agree, I will kill all these celebrities I see in the future! Especially Sima Yi!"

Jin Mao added silently in his heart: "Except Xun Yu! Except Zhuge Liang! Guo Jia..." (more than a dozen names are omitted here)
In fact, Yu Fan's presence at the banquet meant that he had already made a decision, but he had his own ideas.

"Jinwu is injured. Yu Zhongxiang is willing to serve you, but I have two requests!"

Jin Mao happily supported Yu Fan and prevented him from bowing.

"Good good!"

"Don't even mention two requests. Even if it's two hundred! Two thousand! I'll agree to them all!"

Yu Fan was very touched. He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "My first request is that I would like to establish a system for you to advance your career in civil and military affairs."

"Your decision is too crude and has no basis. If you follow the system I designed..."

"Okay! I agree!" Jin Mao praised happily: "Zhong Xiang, you are really my Zi Fang!"

I haven't even said anything yet, and you agreed so readily?

Yu Fan was so moved that he felt an impulse to die for his friend.

"My second request is that you allow me to gain experience at the grassroots level and promote me based on my merits. And in the future, no matter who I am, I must start from the grassroots level!"

Is this a famous scholar? Jin Mao was shocked: "I have never heard of Yu Fan in history. How could he come up with such an advanced system?"

Yu Fan's statement has a bit of the flavor of performance appraisal in it, and is much more advanced than the current system of recommendation and selection and the new system of Yang Jia.

Although the new Yangjia system also required examinations, they were about classics and memorials, and had little to do with achievements.

Jin Mao couldn't help but ask, "Why did you think of promotion based on merit?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Fan bowed and said awkwardly: "I heard that you once asked Pan Lin, a surrendered general of Baiyue, to press oil, and I was inspired to write this."

“It’s just an idea now, but it’s not perfect yet.”

"Okay! I agree to your request!" What else is there to say? Only a fool would let go of such a talent.

"Yu Zhongxiang pays respect to you, sir."

Yu Fan surrendered and paid homage with great ceremony.

Jin Mao accepted the gift and happily helped Yu Fan up: "Zhong Xiang, then you will stay with me first and be a secretary under me. When the system is perfected, I will let you be promoted."

"Here."

Then the king and his ministers were all happy.

However, in the next ten days, Jin Mao regretted bringing Yu Fan with him.

...

Songgu Plain.

After going through many hardships and dangers, Liu Gan finally discovered the treasure of this hilly area.

Ten thousand acres of fertile farmland!

The entire territory is flat and has abundant water systems. If it can be developed further, it is not impossible to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

"Fortunately, Pan Lin doesn't know how to govern." Liu Gan said with emotion.

Otherwise, what is the point of Jinmao?

As June passed, July cleared up.

Liu Gan felt more and more urgent: "I have to hurry up and speed up this month so that I can plant late rice in time."

The Yao people in Songgu Plain were frightened by Jiao Jiao's killing and did not dare to accept Liu Gan's kindness at first.

However, with the precedent of the Yao ancestral land and the personal testimonies of the Yao villagers who surrendered, the Yao people in the plains gradually walked out of the mountains and returned to the plains.

All things are difficult at the beginning, but once things start, things will gradually get better.

Liu Gan left some food to the translator, telling him to follow the usual practice, and then he set out for Jinyun Mountain to report.

The translator is very grateful to Liu Gan for giving me the opportunity and promises to do my best to complete the task.

July fifteenth.

Liu Gan finally rushed back to Jinyun Mountain.

Before he set out, he was plump and white, but now he is darker and thinner, looking very capable.

Before entering the Jinmao administration office, Liu Gan heard quarreling coming from inside.

"You little bastard! Have you forgotten your promise in just a few days?"

"Nai Gong is your Ming Gong! Yu Zhongxiang, watch your words!"

"Treat the noble with your heart, and the villain with your wisdom!"

"Anyway, I don't agree! This must be changed!"

"The villain is short and Jiji."

"Yu Zhongxiang! Don't imitate my speech..."

Liu Gan was so engrossed in listening that he almost forgot about his business. He knocked on the door and went in to take a look.

Where is the quarrel?
I saw a Confucian scholar concentrating on carving something, while Jin Mao looked up at the sky.

"Oh, it's Father Ji who's back!" Jin Mao was very friendly when he saw the visitor: "Father Ji, you didn't even tell me that you're back, so I could go and greet you."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come in and sit down."

Liu Gan hurriedly bowed and said, "Mingsir."

Jin Mao happily pulled Liu Gan up and introduced him, "Father Ji, let me introduce you to this person, Yu Fan, a famous scholar from Yuyao, Yu Zhongxiang."

"Yu Zhongxiang, this is my uncle Liu Gan, Liu Dewan."

"Hmm." Yu Fan responded dully.

“Yu Zhongxiang!” Jin Mao slammed the table and shouted angrily: “Official business is official business, and private business is private business! You have to distinguish them clearly!”

Yu Fan finally came to his senses, stood up and apologized to Liu Gan, then bowed to Jin Mao as a disciple, saying, "I'm grateful for your advice."
