Guo Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Cheng's shocked expression and smiled slightly. Not to mention Zhang Cheng, it is difficult for everyone in this era to understand why Guo Zhiyuan made such a choice. Hunan is a very magical province. Before the late Qing Dynasty, there were almost no particularly famous celebrities in Hunan. Except for Cai Lun, Ouyang Xun, Zhou Dunyi, Wang Fuzhi and others, they were not good at it. So much so that a Hunanese named Liu Zhu finally passed the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, which was called "for the first time".

However, after entering the late Qing Dynasty, Hunan suddenly began to shine on the historical stage, and heroes and celebrities from all walks of life spanned like mushrooms after a rain. "A group of Hunanese people, half of modern history", from Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Peng Yulin, Hu Linyi to Wei Yuan, Tan Sitong, Huang Xing, Cai E... The talents that emerged in Hunan over the past century are enough to shock the whole world!

In the battle to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Hunan Army defeated 14 governors, 13 governors, and was named marquis and ministers. They were all the best. "Not having Hunan can form an army" is well deserved. When the Republic founded, the performance of Hunanese people became even more dazzling. Needless to say, the chairman, the top ten marshals accounted for 3, the top ten generals accounted for 6, and the 57 generals accounted for 19!

"Only Chu has talent, this is the most prosperous." Hunan has never lacked talents and cultural heritage. It is just that because the Hunanese people's "dare to be the first in the world" character is really not pleasing to the environment in which the feudal society advocates Confucian etiquette, it has been suppressed and cannot get a stage for display. At this time, Hunan is like a treasure buried underground, and only needs a chance to be discovered. As a time traveler, Guo Zhiyuan naturally cannot let the pearls be covered in dust. He must excavate the great treasure of Hunan's talent!

As for Guangxi, even in modern times, it seems that it has always given people the impression that it has always been a backward province, especially under the dazzling light of his other brother province, Guangdong, which is even more dull. This is very similar to Hunan. In the past two thousand years of history, Hunan has been suppressed by his brothers from the two lakes, Hubei, and the center of Jingchu culture has always been in Hubei. However, in modern times, Hunan seized the opportunity and led the charm for a hundred years, while Guangxi seemed to be silent.

But if Guangxi is ignored, it would be a big mistake. The combat effectiveness of Guangxi people is actually very strong. If it were not for Zeng Guofan, a Hunanese who stopped the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Guangxi, the Guangxi people might have changed history. Even during the Republic of China, the Gui army led by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were quite powerful among various warlords. The biggest victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression - the Battle of Taierzhuang was fought by Li Zongren. Therefore, Guangxi is also a talent treasure that has been ignored by the world. With the two talent treasures of Hunan and Guangxi, Guo Zhiyuan would have the confidence to form a strong army that is dominant and strong, and he would have the confidence to turn Dongfan into a gathering place for talents in the world!

As long as there are talents, Guo Zhiyuan is not worried that Dongbo will not be able to develop, but there is a problem here. Hunanese and Guangxi people have one common characteristic, they are rebellious! To put it seriously, that is, they are born rebellious. Although Guo Zhiyuan is confident that he can control his talents, his energy is limited. Guo Zhiyuan cannot devote all his energy to guard against rebellion from his subordinates. Guo Zhiyuan is not afraid of his subordinates having rebellious talents, but if his subordinates are all a group of unruly people, Guo Zhiyuan should have a headache!

This is why Guo Zhiyuan joined Shandong. As the hometown of Confucius, the blood of Shandong people is loyal in their blood vessels. The way of Confucius and Mencius has penetrated into the bone marrow. More than 400 emperors appeared in Chinese history, but none of them came from Shandong Province! The word rebellion seems to be unfavorable to Shandong people. Perhaps because of the long-term influence of Confucian culture, Shandong people have developed a very loyal personality. Even in the modern army, soldiers from Shandong are always the most reassuring thing for the commanders of the army. They work hard, endure hardships, and never give up the execution of orders.

Shandong did not have emperors, but saints, princes, generals and ministers. Needless to say, the two saints of Confucius and Mencius, Sun Wu, Guan Zhong, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, etc. are all famous good ministers and generals. Even Song Jiang, who is very controversial in Water Margin, has nothing to do with his idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor in his bones as a Shandong person.

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan's subordinates need Hunanese and Guangxi people who are rebellious and rebellious, and Shandong people who are loyal and able to firmly implement their orders. Of course, this does not mean that the talents in other provinces are not excellent, but that the cultural characteristics of the talents in these three provinces are particularly in line with Guo Zhiyuan's needs.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but look forward to what kind of upheavals the new team formed by putting together talents from these three places with different cultural characteristics will cause in this era. With such a team, Guo Zhiyuan has the confidence to change the destiny of the nation and turn the tide.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan could not tell Zhang Cheng about these thoughts, and waved to him: "In addition to recruiting talents, I also need you to purchase grain, seeds, livestock, and various agricultural tools and tools in various places. Before Dongfan can achieve self-sufficiency, we can only purchase these things from outside. If centralized purchases, it will inevitably cause the price of these materials to rise and the court will also cause dissatisfaction and attention. So try to purchase in batches as much as possible. You don't have to worry about the money. I'll find a way!..."

Zhang Cheng was completely shocked by Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan was able to come up with such a huge immigration plan, and he considered it so meticulously and thoughtfully in all aspects. This made Zhang Cheng more and more impressed by Guo Zhiyuan. Such a person is worth following!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's mood also became aroused. Guo Zhiyuan formulated such a huge immigration plan. He must show his strength and start a grand career. As the first core member to follow Guo Zhiyuan, he must work hard not to fall behind, keep up with Guo Zhiyuan's pace, and prove his value in the team. Therefore, Zhang Cheng was clean and neat and said loudly: "Sir, please rest assured that villains will overcome all difficulties and do the immigration matter well. If there is a shortage of money, villains can borrow money from local money houses. Don't we have an imperial edict? Even if villains coax and cheat, they will also bring people to Dongfan!..."

Guo Zhiyuan pointed at Zhang Cheng with his finger and laughed: "I handed over this matter to you because I like you to be flexible in your work and know how to adapt to the situation. However, you have to pay attention to your sense of responsibility and never give someone a handle. The old fox Shen Yiguan is waiting to find my fault!"

(ps: In this chapter, I have published some personal opinions on the cultural characteristics of the three particularly interesting provinces of Hunan, Guangxi and Shandong, but I must state that I have no intention of regional discrimination. Any province has its own unique cultural characteristics. Any province has its highlights in history. However, in the process of dealing with people from other places, I have developed a strong interest in the cultural characteristics of these three provinces. So I have expressed a little opinion on one's own. Don't criticize it if I don't like it.)
