Chapter 143 Xuzhou Income
In August of the first year of Zhaoning, the emperor claimed that he had no virtue in the world, so he lost the imperial seal. In September, he abdicated at the royal brother Chenliu King Xie, and ordered the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, the prime minister Dong Zhuo to assist him, and changed the reign to Yonghan. In November, the emperor went east to Qingzhou and fed to Donglai. He also appointed Lu Zhi as prime minister, dismissed the throne, and surrendered to be King Yi of Donglai. Cai Yong of "Book of the Later Han Dynasty"
He Bai led his troops to Beihai and walked the road from Chenliu-liang-pei-donghai-langya-beihai. It was obvious that this road was peaceful and easy to walk, but secretly it was for Xu Yang to go south to inspect the road terrain along the way for the future.
At this time, Qingzhou to the north of Xuzhou, the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou were one after another, but Xuzhou was relatively peaceful. Since Tao Qian defeated the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou last year, he appointed Chen Deng as the lieutenant of the Agriculture Camp and implemented military farming in Xuzhou. In a short period of time, Xuzhou's agricultural production was greatly restored and developed, and the people in the state were rich, and the grain silos were filled with grain silos.
He Bai felt that before the world was in chaos, if he was friendly to Xuzhou's civil and military officials, it would be of great benefit to the rule of the generals in Qingzhou. So when He Bai passed by Xuzhou, he not only ordered all officers and soldiers of the army to strictly regulate the military discipline and abide by the eight disciplines of the army in later generations, but also showed his most powerful and peaceful side to the people of Xuzhou. After seeing the military appearance and discipline of the army, the people of Xuzhou were deeply respected by the mighty posture of the army.
Later, He Bai asked to stay in Xuzhou for a while to reorganize the army, deliberately made friends with Xuzhou governor Tao Qian, and had a good relationship with the wealthy Mi Zhu, a wealthy general in Xuzhou. He discussed friendship with the generals of the Danyang army in Xuzhou, Cao Bao, Xu Dan, and Lu You. He also asked Chen Deng, Wang Lang, Zhao Yu and other famous scholars in Xuzhou for their views on governing the county, and also asked the tactical issues of fighting with the Yellow Turbans from Taishan refugees.
Today, He Bai is a famous scholar in the world. In the deliberate interactions between the corporals and Qu Yi, Xuzhou civil and military officials were very close to He Bai. Tao Qian believed that He Bai was a natural ally; Mi Zhu and other officials believed that He Bai had the appearance of the king. His famous scholars also believed that He Bai's talent and insights were unique, and his character and virtue were very appreciated. Especially his attitude towards the people, as if he were a parent, the Beihai Kingdom would definitely be in great harmony in the future.
It seems that He Bai was still very profitable after half a year of going to Luoyang to maintain his throne. Especially the Chen family in Xia Pi was a member of the three Han Dynasty who had a friendship with Yuan family. At that time, there were a lot of governors and county magistrates of the Chen family. Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son were able to have a relationship with He Bai equally. If he went to dominate Xuzhou in his day, it would not arouse the disgust of the Xuzhou gentry.
Zang Ba, a relatively independent cavalry commander in Xuzhou, also believed that He Bai's ability was not inferior to that of Yi. Because He Bai's official position was slightly higher, he had already become famous all over the world and was one year older, so he led the generals of Mount Tai to serve Bai as his brother. With so many forces agree with He Bai, if Tao Qian has something to do in the future, He Bai was afraid that he could easily take Xuzhou into his pocket.
When he had not met Tao Qian, He Bai still believed that Tao Qian was a good man as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After a while, He Bai knew that Tao Qian was a strong and domineering person, and the governance of Xuzhou was quite harsh. Fortunately, he was not a harsh political type, but his methods were tough and could not be friendly to the Xuzhou gentry. His relationship with the Xuzhou scholars was relatively tense and had a bit of a dictatorship.
Because he has extremely strong military strength, Danyang Jingshang, who has 15,000 troops from three armies, is a private soldier. In addition to the original army of the governor of the court, as well as his personal prestige, official career, military record, and strong integration ability, he can integrate all the forces in Xuzhou together and have a faint trend of separatist side.
As for the predecessor of the state governor and the governor, were not Liu Yan from Yizhou and Tao Qian from Xuzhou. Even Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others, it would be two years later.
It was precisely because of Tao Qian's domineeringness that his relationship with the scholars in Xuzhou was tense that Zhang Zhao was rejected by Zhang Zhao when he was not long ago. Tao Qian thought Zhang Zhao was despised him, so he imprisoned Zhang Zhao. It happened that He Bai had just arrived and rescued Zhang Zhao's friend Zhao Yu, and was released.
He Bai strongly invited Zhang Zhao to Beihai to take refuge for a while. Zhang Zhao also wanted to see how effective he managed the county with He Bai's concept, so he decided to go to Beihai for a while. At this point, He Bai was satisfied and led his troops towards Beihai Country.
After passing Langya, he said goodbye to Zang Ba, who was stationed in Langya. He Bai suddenly thought that Zhuge Liang seemed to be from Yangdu. Although he was still young now, it was good to have a good relationship with him.
So he ordered someone to ask where the mansion of Zhuge, Yangdu, was found out that Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Gui, had unfortunately passed away the year before yesterday. His mother, Zhang, passed away earlier. Now the only adult in the Zhuge family is the stepmother. Zhuge Jin, the oldest among the younger generation, is only fifteen years old, and Zhuge Liang is only eight years old.
Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan is now studying around, and no one can take care of them. At this time, Zhuge Liang's family of six was sitting in a state of sacrificing the mountains and no one to rely on. He Bai was overjoyed. Isn't this just God helping me? I immediately prepared a generous gift and went to Zhuge's house to visit.
The Zhuge family of Yangdu was born in the Han Sili District, Zhuge Feng. The Zhuge Liang's branch was probably born, so he did not live in the ancestral counties, but moved to Yangdu County. However, even so, his family was considered to be from a prominent family, but by the generation of Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Gui, it had obviously declined.
Zhuge Gui, the former head of the Zhuge clan of Yangdu, was only a county magistrate until his death. Therefore, He Bai, the new Prime Minister of Beihai, came to visit. Zhuge Jin, who was the head of the family, was immediately panicked and didn't know what to do.
Zhuge Liang, who was still young and smart, came out and advised: "The Prime Minister of Beihai is not the Prime Minister of Langya, and my family has no adults. It is definitely not for business to come to my house. It must be because he has an old age with my family, so he came to visit him."
However, a senior official with two thousand stones came to visit, which made Zhuge Jin, who was the head of the family for the first time, nervous. He Bai had to persuade him gently: "Your family and my family have great kindness. I came to repay my kindness, but I did not come to visit him as an official. I hope you don't be afraid."
Zhuge Jin was stunned and asked, "I wonder what kind of kindness my family has with the Marquis of Longchi Township?"
He Bai had already thought about it when he came. Zhuge Liang was a famous master who had been passed down through the ages, and Zhuge Jin was also a talent of the three dukes. Even Zhuge Jun was the youngest, and he was also a talent of the county magistrate. It would be better to take the opportunity to abduct him early. However, he had no relatives with Zhuge and was afraid that he would not be able to easily abduct him.
You should know that people in the world have no merits and no rewards, and they have a sense of guilt. Even if they are old friends, they may not easily let Zhuge hide himself. Only by repaying kindness can Zhuge accept his kindness easily and freely.
He Bai then said falsely: "When I was young, I passed by Yangdu with my father. Unfortunately, I suddenly fell seriously ill and had no money to treat, so I almost died. Fortunately, Zhuge's compassion made money save me from danger. Such great kindness in life will be unforgettable for me. Now that I am well developed, Zhuge unfortunately lost his father. Your sons have a difficult life and no one cares about him. Isn't this the time for me to repay my kindness? I want to bring you all to the Beihai Kingdom and return to Yangdu until you are adults. I wonder what you think, Ah Jin?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jin found that his family had had great kindness to He Bai. Since He Bai came to repay his kindness this time, Zhuge Jin lost his initial nervousness. However, even though Zhuge Jin was the head of a small family, he still couldn't make a decision for the time being, so he looked at Zhuge Liang who was standing beside him.
Seeing Zhuge Jin hesitating, He Bai advised: "A Jin is not young this year, and it is a great opportunity to study. Zheng Kangcheng, a great scholar of the Confucianism in Beihai, is here. I am the prime minister of Beihai. If I recommend A Jin as a disciple to him, I will give me some face. When A Liang is older, I can also recommend A Liang to go. In the future, when you become an adult, I will refer you as a filial and honest person. I believe that it will be much easier for you to be an official."
Zheng Kang became famous in Zheng Xuan, and was a great scholar who was even more powerful than Cai Yong. If Cai Yong was called the second in the world, the first one would definitely be Zheng Xuan. At that time, he not only collected the great achievements of ancient classics, but also integrated ancient and modern literature into a furnace, creating a new school - Zheng Xue. Now it has gradually become the Confucianism "schooled by the world".
Even Zhuge Liang, who was smart since childhood, had a heart-warming look. When Zhuge Jin saw Zhuge Liang's heart-warming look, he immediately responded to He Bai's request and decided to temporarily hide under He Bai's wings and go to Beihai to live.
He Bai's Xuzhou team gained a lot. The direct benefits alone led to great internal affairs such as Zhang Zhao. The three brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun made a long-term profit and no loss of emotional investment. The other civil and military relationships in Xuzhou were even more risky to invest in a large way.
He Bai was able to gain so much profit in a short period of time, in addition to being a time traveler, he became famous in Luoyang, the capital. If He Bai was still the prefect with the image of a martial artist at this time, he would be unlikely to gain so much profit in another five years.
After taking over the Zhuge family, He Bai led his troops north again. After arriving at Zhuxian County, the vanguard Chen Kui sent a messenger to report: "Report, the lieutenant, Chen Sima, the front camp, came to report, hundreds of scholars blocked the road, and the leader claimed to be Gaomi Zheng Xuan."
He Bai was overjoyed when he heard this. He said not long ago that Zheng Xuan had met Zheng Xuan here. He Bai did not dare to be negligent and rushed to the front to visit him. When he arrived at the front army, he saw two or three hundred men walking around a ox cart, an old man in his early sixties was standing on the ox cart and looking at it.
He Bai ran all the way until fifty steps away from the ox cart, and then jumped off, trotting and shouting: "There is Mr. Zheng Kangcheng and Zheng in front of him. He Tianming is here to pay homage."
