Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, you must be joking. I should be the one thanking you, Mr. Wang. Right now, I'm lacking talents everywhere. I can't ask for more. "
Wang Ji said, "Your Highness, I've brought some teachers with me to the Western Region. They're all from the Hundred Schools of Thought. They used to impart knowledge in the academy, and now they hope to continue doing so. Please allow them to enter the University of Science and Technology. After coming to the Western Region, I've learned about the University of Science and Technology. This place is suitable for them. "
Du Qi said, "No problem, I'll just give them a note."
Wang Ji continued, "Apart from that, I've also brought two students. They're not bad. They're not business students. They're here to study and do some work in the academy. One of them is called Lai Ji, and the other is called Ma Zhou. They're both very talented. "
After a pause, Wang Ji said, "In fact, with their abilities and talents, it wouldn't be a problem for them to become officials. They're willing to come to the Western Region with me, so they came with me. "
When Du Qi heard the news, a smile appeared on his face.
Lai Ji!
Ma Zhou!
Both of them were big names in the history books! Both of them were prime ministers who once ruled the world. They controlled the imperial court and were extremely powerful.
Lai Ji was just 20 years old. As for Ma Zhou, he was slightly older. He was almost 30 years old. However, compared to Lai Ji's family background, the Lai family was a family of generals, while Ma Zhou was from a humble family. He had to rely on himself for everything.
Du Qi asked, "Mr. Wang, where are they?"
Wang Ji said, "Both of them are at an inn. They're staying at an inn temporarily after following me to Gaochang City. I'm here to meet Your Highness first and explain their situation. "
Du Qi said, "Invite them to the palace. I'll meet them personally. Mr. Wang, which inn are they staying at? "
Wang Ji said, "Your Highness, we're staying at Peace Inn on Dafeng Street in Gaochang City's South City. Yes, it's on the streets. It's very easy to find. "
Du Qi immediately called for his attendants and instructed them to invite Ma Zhou and Lai Ji over.
After arranging the attendants, Du Qi looked at Wang Ji and said, "Mr. Wang, now that you've come to the Western Region, I don't want you to continue teaching in the Academy. I'm short of talents, so I hope Mr. Wang can work in my mansion."
Wang Ji said, "I will listen to Your Highness."
After a few years of polishing in the Academy, Wang Ji's nature had changed too much. He was no longer the same as before. In the past, Wang Ji's temperament was very irritable. When he spoke, he would scold the heavens, the earth, and the air. Once he met someone he didn't like, his words would choke him, making him so angry that he couldn't speak.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Ji only cared about teaching in the academy and did not care about anything else. In fact, as the dean of the academy, it was impossible for Wang Ji to ignore everything. There were many things that Wang Ji had to deal with. After a few years of polishing, Wang Ji's temperament had become more stable, unlike his former self.
With a smile on his face, Du Qi said, "With Mr. Wang's addition, I have more confidence. If Mr. Wang still has any talented confidants or friends, these people can be recommended to the Western Region. I'm willing to put them in an important position. "
Wang Ji said, "Your Highness, many of my friends in the past are in the Academy. Except for some people who left, I've carefully asked those who stayed with me. These people are not willing to be officials and are willing to work in the Academy. These people have been wronged in the officialdom and are unhappy in the officialdom. They don't like the intrigue in the officialdom. Therefore, they are not willing to be officials and only want to be scholars. "
Du Qi said, "Okay, I won't force them."
Wang Ji took the initiative and said, "Your Highness, what am I responsible for?"
Du Qi said, "I won't arrange Mr. Wang's official position for the time being. Well, in these two days, I will prepare to establish a country in the Western Region and then rearrange all the personnel. I'm still thinking about this matter. So, Mr. Wang, don't worry. After I sort things out, I will arrange the officials according to the official system after the establishment of the country. "
Wang Ji said, "I'll listen to Your Highness."
He was even more emotional. When he met Du Qi in Chang 'an, Du Qi was only a young man at that time. At that time, Du Qi had already made a name for himself, was extremely talented, and had already made a lot of money.
After a few years, Du Qi now dominated a region and was the overlord of a region. Even when the Emperor led 200,000 troops to suppress him, Du Qi did not retreat at all. Especially when the Emperor's army retreated directly, it showed Du Qi's strength.
This was the current Du Qi.
Wang Ji also felt that such a change was incredible, because Du Qi's rise was too fast.
Through Wang Ji, Du Qi learned about what was happening in the Academy and also asked about Chang 'an. When the attendant came in and reported that Ma Zhou and Lai Ji had already arrived outside the hall, Wang Ji took the initiative to leave and did not continue to stay.
Du Qi also did not urge him to stay.
The following conversation was between Du Qi, Ma Zhou, and Lai Ji, and they did not need to intervene.
Wang Ji walked out of the hall and looked at Ma Zhou and Lai Ji who were standing at the door. Both of them saluted to Wang Ji. Although they did not really worship Wang Ji as a teacher, they actually saluted him as a disciple and were extremely respectful to him.
Wang Ji nodded and said, "Ping Xi Wang has now blocked the army of the Tang dynasty and is ready to establish a country in the Western Region. For you, this is a great opportunity. Learn civil and martial arts and sell goods to the imperial family. Didn't you come all the way to the Western Regions with me for this? So, seize your opportunity. "
Ma Zhou and Lai Ji nodded at the same time.
The reason why they followed Wang Ji to the Western Region was that, on the one hand, they wanted to have a look in the Western Region. On the other hand, Du Qi had just established himself in the Western Region and was short of manpower. This was their opportunity.
Ma Zhou and Lai Ji could be officials in the Tang dynasty, but their promotion speed was relatively slow. Because the Tang dynasty had now taken shape. If they wanted to show their ambition, they could only go up step by step. Even if there was no one in the imperial court, they might not succeed.
The Western Region was different.
After Wang Ji left, an attendant informed Ma Zhou to enter.
Ma Zhou's clothes were very ordinary. In fact, this was Ma Zhou's best cyan robe and he rarely wore it. He dusted off his slightly wrinkled clothes and adjusted his collar. He took a deep breath and strode into the hall.
The hall was deep and quiet. Footsteps sounded as he stepped into it. The echoing footsteps gave Ma Zhou a sense of pressure. He raised his head to look at Du Qi, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Although Du Qi's clothes were ordinary, in Ma Zhou's eyes, he inexplicably felt pressure.
