浮年少有才能，頗欲厲風跡，收士心，辟召州中名宿涿郡王岑之屬，以為從事，及王莽時故吏二千石，皆引置幕府，乃多發諸郡倉谷，稟贍其妻子。 Still young and talented, Zhu Fu sought to burnish his name and rally local elite support: he recruited notable figures such as Wang Cen of Zhuojun as staff officers and drew former Wang Mang–era commandery governors into his headquarters, then drew heavily on commandery granaries to provision their families.
