Chapter 300 Little Yin Thief and the Old Fox

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The day after Zhou Xue met by chance, Fan Zhi took the initiative to find Zhang Zhao.

However, as a well-known veteran in history, Fan Zhi still sized up the situation after getting excited, and would not put all the blame on Zhang Zhao.

After all, his family is still in the Central Plains, and the land west of Hexi is still too unfamiliar to him.

However, this man was not without passion in his heart, so he took the initiative to find Zhang Zhao, hoping to do something for Zhang Zhao within a limited time.

Especially after he saw that there were many errors and omissions in the teaching of Three Histories and Three Transfers at Liangzhou Prefecture School, he was even more willing to do his part to correct these errors and omissions.

As a scribe, this is exactly what I cannot tolerate the most.

Zhang Zhao actually didn't expect to be able to convince an official from the Central Plains just once or twice, especially an official like Fan Zhi who had made such a big name in history.

Hexi has been far away from the country for a hundred and fifty years. Compared with the Central Plains, it looks like a wilderness. Where can it be so easy to attract talents?

Therefore, Zhang Zhao's own expectations for Fan Zhi were not that high.

First, I wanted him to help me with something while he was in Liangzhou. Second, I wanted him to do more publicity for Hexi Liangzhou among the literati circles in the Central Plains after he returned to the Central Plains, so as to attract some people who were really willing to come to Liangzhou.

Rooted people.

This is just like falling in love. Only if the other person's heart is with you will this love be interesting.

Compared with Fan Zhi's initiative to give lectures in the state, Zhang Zhao was more concerned about wanting Fan Zhi to establish a legal system for him in Hexi.

So he took Fan Zhi's hand and whispered softly: "Since the opening of the state school, I know that there are indeed some omissions, but it is not the urgent matter at hand. The most urgent thing at hand is actually the lack of laws in Liangzhou.

The entire core laws and regulations currently in force are still based on the laws under the Tubo rule in the past.

Brother Fan also saw the situation here. If he wanted to successfully convert Hu Guihan and bring the descendants of the officers and soldiers of Longyou, Hexi Province back into the ranks of the Han people, the first thing that had to be changed was their customs and habits.

And the most effective way to change customs and habits is to use laws to stipulate and restrict them."

Fan Zhi himself was a master of laws, so he nodded in agreement, and he admired Zhang Zhao even more.

Unexpectedly, this young Zhang Sikong had so much experience in the way of law.

Zhang Zhao is right. To change the long-term habits of an ethnic group, in addition to the subtle influence of soft culture, hard constraints are also needed. This hard hand is the law.

For example, according to the laws of the Tubo period, the leader of the Ammo tribe beat to death a serf at the bottom of the Bengu tribe without even having to pay the price of a sheep. They also had bad habits such as making human skin drums.

This was very normal in Tubo, where slavery was practiced, but if it were moved to the Tang Dynasty or other dynasty societies dominated by Han people, it would be absolutely intolerable, at least on the surface and moral level.

As for those who commit such evil deeds, sometimes the punishment they receive is unsatisfactory, but the reasons for this situation largely depend on the integrity of the court, and the legal aspect will not change due to the identity of the other party.

.

To change this perception, it is not possible to wait for cultural penetration to slowly change. It must be confirmed in the form of laws to reverse the remaining imprint of Tibet in the hearts of the people.

However, although Zhang Zhe knows the importance of law, before time travel, he was just a military history blogger, a muscular man who played full-armor fighting. Law, arithmetic, government affairs, etc. were not his strong points.

Moreover, the establishment of a law is not an easy task. It must be comprehensively considered based on people's sentiments, social customs, and even economic conditions.

And it must be easy to understand, because most people at this time are uneducated and only have some simple concepts of right and wrong in their hearts. If the law is designed to be slightly complicated, it will be shelved and become useless. It must be as close as possible

Only by living can it be effective.

Fan Zhi raised his hand in embarrassment, "What Sikong said is true, the legal system in Liangzhou and even Hexi really needs to be changed.

However, compiling a law is not a day's work. Even if it is very basic, it will take several months to gain any understanding.

The lower official was appointed by the imperial court, and he still has the task of conferring the title of Situ Cao Yuanzhong to the school. If he delays in Liangzhou for several months before going to Dunhuang, going back and forth, and delaying for a long time, it is not the way to be a minister!"

Zhang Zhao understood that what Fan Zhi was talking about was not the way to serve as a minister, and that was not what he meant at all. What he meant was that if he stayed with Zhang Zhao for a few months, he would go back and forth from Liangzhou to Dunhuang.

It's a few months.

After going back and forth, I am afraid that it will be more than a year later when he returns to the Central Plains of the Eastern Capital. He has been delivering the decree for more than a year. When he returns to the court, not to mention that his current official functions will not be preserved, and even his family will still be there.

Not sure.

At that moment, Zhang Zhao smiled lightly and said: "Brother Fan, don't worry. I am going to Dunhuang to confer the title of Duke Cao Yuanzhong on my father-in-law. I see that your scholar has been following Brother Fan for many years and is considered a talented person. Why don't you let him replace Brother Fan?"

Went to Dunhuang for the canonization ceremony.

Afterwards, if Brother Fan is willing to give up his love, I also want to give him the status of a beloved man and invite him to be the professor of the Spring and Autumn Period at Hexi Prefecture School."

While Zhang Zhao was talking to Fan Zhi, Fan Zhi's bookboy was actually waiting outside the door. When Zhang Zhao said this, he made a grunt and rolled in from the door.

For a slave like Shutong, being released as a good man may not necessarily be a good thing, because without the protection of a wealthy family, an ordinary good man may not necessarily live a better life than being a slave to an official's family.

But becoming a professor of Liangzhou State Studies is different. Although he is a low-ranking official, he is still an official after all.

For a scholar-servant to become an official can definitely be regarded as a step to the top.

However, Shutong was born and raised in the Fan family and has been inseparable with Fan Zhi for more than ten years. His feelings for Fan Zhi are still relatively deep.

Therefore, he did not interrupt, but stared at Fan Zhi expectantly with tearful eyes.

Fan Zhi let out a long sigh, and gained a deeper understanding of Zhang Zhao's flexible mind and many methods.

It seems that Zhang Sikong wants to use the matter of keeping his scholar to strengthen his determination to formulate laws for Zhang Zhao in the past few months.

Moreover, the scholar Fan Qiu can also serve as a direct link between the two, which is equivalent to letting Fan Zhi board his ship in disguise.

And can Fan Zhi stop his scholar Fan Qiu from becoming a professor of Liangzhou Prefecture? Obviously not!

Although Fan Qiu and him were as close as brothers and grew up together, but even if they were as close as brothers and blocked his advancement, their relationship would definitely never be the same again in the future.

There is no benefit in staying around.

"Fan Qiu, why don't you kowtow and thank Zhang Sikong? This is your chance. From now on, you will no longer be a slave of the Fan family, but a serious official.

You can rest assured that you can work for Sikong here. Fan Aniang and Er Niang will be taken care of on your behalf. If you can make some contributions and save some wealth in the future, and then take them over, you will have a good life."

The scholar named Fan Qiu first knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao and kowtowed twice, "Thank you so much, Zhang Sikong for your appreciation. I will definitely do my best!"

Then he turned around and bowed to Fan Zhi. He said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you so much, Mr. Dalang! I will never forget Mr. Lang's kindness in this life!"

This is really a perfect ending. After all, Fan Qiu has been studying with Fan Zhi for more than ten years. Fan Zhi has studied Chun Qiu, and Fan Qiu has studied with him for so long. They even have the same teacher, and they are no different from regular scholars.

let.

Even if it is a slave, its knowledge is still better than most people in Liangzhou, and this is a living sign with gold letters. This is the horse bone that Zhang Zhao bought with a thousand gold coins!

Later, when it spread to the Central Plains, even Fan Zhi, a small school boy who was a household inspector, could get the official position of professor of state studies in Liangzhou. Wouldn't all those talented and ambitious people have to rush to Liangzhou? Absolutely

A win-win situation.

"Then you can appoint Brother Fan as the legal director of the Hexi Jiedu Yamen, and be ordered to formulate laws." Zhang Zhao said loudly.

Fan Zhi was relieved at this time. If you include the round trip from Dunhuang, you can save at least three months. Within three months, it should not be difficult to make a rough set of laws that are consistent with the current situation in Hexi. He

He arched his hands.

"I am willing to serve Zhang Sikong!"

....

Just when Zhang Zhao was taking care of Fan Zhi, Pei Yuan from Luoyang City was having a banquet with Shi Jingtang's confidant Sang Weihan at his home.

However, it was a banquet, and there were only two of them participating. Except for a servant who was pouring wine beside him, there was not even music or dancing.

"Since Yuying is from the Wenxi Pei family, she is from a wealthy family in Hedong, and she has a certain friendship with the saint. Wouldn't it be nice to just stay in Dongdu and serve the saint with me in the imperial court?"

Sang Weihan said slowly, as if he really admired Pei Yuan's talent.

Humph! Peiyuan sneered in his heart, you have worn out Tieyan Sangguoqiao's heart the size of a pinhole, who doesn't think you know?

Don’t you just feel that someone stole your limelight outside Anximen a few days ago? As for testing me now!

Pei Yuan knew in his heart that for Shi Jingtang, Sang Weihan even did the shameless act of kowtowing and crying in front of the tent of Yelu Deguang, the leader of the Khitan Kingdom, and he would not allow Shi Jingtang to have another favorite who could threaten him.

In the past few days, Shi Jingtang repeatedly called Pei Yuan to question him and showed considerable appreciation for him. It seemed that Sang Weihan had become wary of him.

Of course, as an envoy from Hexi, he was so recognized by Shi Jingtang that Sang Weihan felt a little uneasy. In fact, it was Pei Yuan who did it deliberately.

If two years ago, Pei Yuan would have been so respected by someone like Shi Jingtang, he would have been extremely happy and would have knelt down to worship him as his master and kowtow to show his loyalty.

But today, after getting along with Zhang Zhao and seeing the corpses all over the city of Luoyang, as well as the actual situation that Shi Jingtang was unable to control his tooth soldiers, Pei Yuan did not think that this forty-five-year-old Shatuo man could become the world's leader.

The ability of the Lord.

On the other hand, Zhang Erlangjun of Liangzhou has many talented people under his command, who are united in civil and military affairs. The leaders of various tribes and generals are all in his hands for life and death. He also has the arrogance of the Toothless soldiers. The west frontier further away looks like the strong Qin in the past, and it can be attacked. You can retreat and defend.

Only by occupying such a favorable location can such a person have the possibility of ending the troubled times and becoming the emperor!

Therefore, Pei Yuan will definitely not get on Shi Jingtang's broken ship again. The reason why he stabbed Sang Weihan so much is to make Sang Weihan feel jealous of him, so that he can quickly be grateful and far away.

Since we want to drive him away, it's very simple. Just agree to the Hexi Jiedushi envoy he requested as soon as possible.

"Thank you very much for the Privy Council's favor. However, I was greatly favored by Zhang Sikong of Hexi Province and promised to help him stabilize Hexi, so I have no choice but to accept the Privy Council's favor."

Hearing what Pei Yuan said, Sang Weihan sneered. If he didn't want to serve in the imperial court, why would he ask for an audience every day? And he was quite friendly with the saint?

He even didn't believe that a person like Pei Yuan could give up the opportunity to join a saint and serve in the imperial court because of some so-called great favor.

He is talking like this now, which shows that he has not told the truth to himself, and has hidden thoughts. This person is not easy to get along with, and he should get rid of the matter as soon as possible.

Sang Weihan secretly made up his mind, and then laughed, "Zhang Sikong has such a big appetite! It's enough to ask for a Hexi Festival, but he even wants Lanhe, Kuo, and Shanzhou."

These four states plus Liangzhou, are there millions of people? There are many people and things to do. Can Zhang Sikong protect this place for the imperial pastor?

If you were a Hexi Jiedu, you could say a few nice words for Zhang Sikong in front of the saint!"
