Chapter 1252: Special Talent

~7 min read 1,234 words

Suddenly called over by the Tribal Chief and then informed of this "bad news," Jiujiu was a bit sullen, because he did not want to leave the Suiren clan to go to the unfamiliar Huaxia, and this certainly would not be anything good.

As for asking Liuye and the others... that was fine, he would go and ask; it seemed now that the Tribal Chief insisted he must go, and he apparently had no choice but to listen to the Tribal Chief, so he would inquire in advance about what Huaxia was actually like, just to have some mental preparation.

However, at this moment, Liuye and the others had already begun their real work; each of them was leading a team representing a certain Noble, pulling grain, and walking all over the Suiren clan.

Upon seeing Liuye's people, especially Liuye's acquaintances, they would pull Liuye aside to ask what kind of place Huaxia was, and if life in Huaxia was very bad, questioning him incessantly.

Of course, this happened to suit Liuye and the others' wishes; this was exactly what they wanted to do, and with others asking proactively, it not only saved effort but also made the whole thing seem natural.

If you asked him what Huaxia was really like, and if it was particularly bad for you, then Liuye would naturally open his big mouth and start talking incessantly, describing it as something wonderful, using flowery language that was truly extravagant; after a round of this, even those people from Huaxia felt they paled in comparison.

Clearly, Liuye and the others were not that familiar with Huaxia because they had been locked in the military camp and could not get out, but they were able to accurately point out the attractive aspects of Huaxia, which was his most impressive skill.

And because he was a member of the Suiren clan himself, he understood even better what the Residents of the Suiren clan pursued and needed most, so he could accurately grasp the pain points of the Suiren clan and then provide an accurate remedy.

Sitting down casually on the ground, they began to chat wildly, rambling about everything under the sun, unable to stop at all; Liuye seemed to have forgotten that there were people following him, and the people conversing with Liuye also completely ignored these Huaxia people.

Because they were chatting so enthusiastically, their voices grew louder and louder, causing passersby to come over to take a look and listen; if they happened to hear something they were interested in, they would even stop, squatting around or standing nearby to listen.

If they heard it was the Huaxia they disliked most, they would spit out an Evil Dragon Breath, then leave directly, cursing as they walked, only then feeling a bit more comfortable.

Gradually, more and more people gathered, and the whole area was surrounded by three layers of people inside and out; Liuye's conversation was no longer limited to his friends, but rather he answered whoever in the crowd asked, and the effect was excellent.

Such a strong ability made the people of Huaxia envious; in the entire Huaxia, there were not many people with such ability, and if he went to Huaxia and displayed his talent, wouldn't he be highly valued?

As luck would have it, the team Liuye was responsible for happened to be Sanxin's people; besides some tenant farmers, the team was mostly Sanxin's family, including Sanxin's sons, grandsons, sons-in-law, and grandsons-in-law, and their work was basically farming.

Because Sanxin had too many children and the whole family was huge, they could indeed produce a few capable and talented children, but looking at the whole, the proportion was really too small.

There were many officials in Huaxia City, but considering the population of the entire Huaxia City, it was not that many; how many of these Nobles' children could enter the ruling class again? Furthermore, now that besides Nobility, official positions were not hereditary, everyone tried their best to cultivate their Legitimate Son, while the rest of the children depended on their own talents.

Most of the children would just go to farm or enter places like factories; in short, they would definitely have a meal to eat.

Everyone was open-minded about it; having so many children meant their genes were passed on, and with enough land and wealth at home, no matter how many children they had, they could support them; having one person inherit the privileges they had fought for was enough, and if a few more children could enter the ruling class, that would be even better, so they would not think that all their children must enter officialdom.

In this team, there was a youngest son of Sanxin, though not the youngest of all, because even now, Sanxin was still having children!

He was in his twenties, but he had not been able to gain much attention and was just an ordinary farmer; however, since his father was extraordinary, the things he could come into contact with and the vision he possessed were still a bit broader.

He had noticed Liuye, this talent, early on, and letting him help their team was his choice; plus, his father's Nobility was high, so other families with the same idea could not easily compete with Sanxin's family, and this benefit could only be taken by Sanxin's family.

He had already made up his mind that after returning, he would tell his father that he had discovered such a talent in this team; if he could be recommended for training to become an official, he would surely become an important figure in Huaxia in the future.

That's right, in Huaxia, one could be recommended; if the children couldn't do it, the adults could, because there were many people who joined Huaxia later who were too old to go to school, so they could only undergo a rough screening, and only those who were particularly outstanding and intelligent could get an opportunity to study; whether they could become an official depended on their ability.

The rest of the people, if they did not have some skills or talents, would definitely become ordinary people, going to farm, hunt, or be assigned other work; even if they had enough talent, if there was no opportunity to show it in a short time, they naturally could not be selected.

Therefore, special talents like Liuye could be recommended; as long as it was explained what sufficiently special talent the recommended person had, after a preliminary review by the Ministry of Personnel and then handed over to Baifeng for judgment, they could be sent to study.

Some talents did not require literacy, so they might not even need to study and could take office directly; there were precedents for this, as the matter of characters could be learned slowly later, which was not urgent, but his talent might be the kind that was needed immediately.

Recommending a talent was a merit; a person like Liuye was purely a talent, so eloquent and glib, Huaxia must have a place where he could be used.

If he were allowed to be a guard for Chengqie in Huaxia, that would be a huge waste; one didn't know when his talent would be discovered, and besides, perhaps in the whole of Huaxia, not many people would think that being eloquent and glib was a special talent.
