It even feels like Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang three times at his cottage to ask for help.
Judging from the appearance, Zhang Mingtu is a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and a doctor of the Agricultural College. Any one of these identities alone can be considered quite outstanding among ordinary people.
But even if these two identities are combined, they are still far behind the governor of a state.
At least when this news began to spread in the relevant areas of Jiujiang County, many colleagues of the Jinyiwei and relevant personnel of Jiujiang County all felt proud of it.
In secret, Zhang Mingtu had heard relevant colleagues or people from the Tiger Teeth in Jiujiang County discussing this more than once.
"Is that good-breed really that outstanding? He was able to be promoted exceptionally quickly, becoming a Jinyiwei centurion before he was even twenty. Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
"How can this be exaggerated? It can double the original output, or even more than double it. With such a high level of reward, it is more than enough!"
"The angel has come to Jiujiang County several times in a short period of time, which proves that he truly has the power to reach the heavens."
"Heh, haven't there been other people who have made great contributions in previous years? Why haven't they been treated with such grandeur? In my opinion, they are not only capable, but also have powerful connections."
"Having both ability and connections, he must be extremely powerful. I heard that he was originally a small bannerman in Jianyi, but he was promoted to a centurion in such a short period of time. I heard that it took less than a year. He is truly extremely powerful."
"Alas, the gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and dogs. There's really no comparison."
"What can we do? He is talented and capable. When he was in Jianyi, he could have quickly become the support of Governor Rui, who would have taken the trouble to transfer him to Jiujiang County. Once in Jiujiang County, he could have worshipped an unknown figure as his master, and all the credit would have been attributed to him.
I guess his achievements were directly reported to the emperor, and the power of the Rui prefect also played a role. After all, there was a rumor that the Rui prefect had the favor of the bigwigs in Kyoto. Oh, it really is good to have someone in high places!"
"No comparison, no comparison!"
"He really has flown to the sky. Now, a northern governor has come to visit him in person. Now, he really has stood in the sky. Let's not talk about it behind his back. What if..."
"I guess they came here to support him and give him more confidence. Sigh, such a person."
"It's just a seed, how can it have such a great merit?"
"Without our promotion and support from all our people, he wouldn't be able to do so well."
"Hush, you dare to say such things? You are asking for death. He is powerful and capable, and he is willing to fight with you. He thinks highly of you."
Zhang Mingtu listened to all the relevant discussions, but didn't care much.
Now in the eyes of many people, Zhang Mingtu's status and position have been greatly improved, but he is still not truly valued by everyone.
Everyone thought that it was too grand for a provincial governor to visit Zhang Mingtu. In reality, it was indeed too grand and too special.
However, Zhang Mingtu knew the inside story, and the third prince was really panicked.
Therefore, they sent such a grand figure to actively recruit Zhang Mingtu, at least to get involved in the matters related to Zhang Mingtu, so that he could also gain a good reputation.
The eldest prince can give a lot of things, but the third prince cannot, so he can only find a way from another side.
Zhang Mingtu is not very old. Judging from the many people in the Third Prince's lineage, people of his age naturally like to wear fine clothes and travel at night, and of course they will have a bit of vanity and arrogance. Therefore, letting a governor take the initiative to come and ask for advice humbly is already a great honor for Zhang Mingtu.
Zhang Mingtu was also aware of this.
Normally, such actions and methods might expose the Third Prince hiding in the dark, but the visit from the governor also went through very strict procedures and methods.
Among them, there was a doctoral student in agronomy from the north who attended Zhang Mingtu's lectures. After the lectures, he took the initiative to return to his hometown and called on many other doctoral students in agronomy from the north to come and listen to Zhang Mingtu's lectures. He also brought Zhang Mingtu's theories to the north.
As luck would have it, the governor happened to be inspecting the Agricultural College that day and happened to come across this event. After learning about the relevant situation, he became very interested in Zhang Mingtu.
The relevant visiting cards and etiquette were carried out quite well, and the governor was coming here in person in a serious manner.
But it cannot be said that he came here specifically for Zhang Mingtu. He also had some business issues regarding Lu to discuss with many people in Jiangnan West Road, mainly to discuss relevant policies, and would visit Zhang Mingtu again when he had time.
"I wonder who will take the initiative to invite me to the North!"
Zhang Mingtu thought silently in his mind. Originally, the governor of Lu was only scheduled to go to Longxing Prefecture, but he changed the route temporarily. It should be more like an invitation for him to go to the north.
But Zhang Mingtu did not want to rashly go from Jiujiang County to the north.
"However, the gift this person has delivered should be quite substantial, and it should clearly indicate the Third Prince's identity. I'll need to consider how to refuse it."
While Zhang Mingtu was still pondering, a carriage had already arrived at the Jinyiwei. A flag officer of the Jinyiwei politely knocked on Zhang Mingtu's door and said softly, "Captain, the governor wants to see you!"
Zhang Mingtu closed his eyes and thought silently for a moment, then responded loudly: "Here it comes!"
