"It's indeed the new He Beihai. Old Zheng Xuan is polite here." Zheng Xuan stood on the ox cart and bowed to He Bai in a long distance, then helped the scholar in front of the ox cart to get off the cart and welcomed him to He Bai.

He Bai ran to Zheng Xuan ten steps before, and bent down to worship him. Since several years since this world, He Bai has learned the rituals of ancient Chinese people to the fullest. He is humble and polite when he sees others. That is absolutely true. For old scholars with high reputation, they should be more polite and should not be deceived by official positions. It is best if they can hold the etiquette of disciples. This is the best attitude to treat wise men and nobles. Even if they should not be called, they are absolutely satisfied.

Zheng Xuan stepped forward and helped He Bai up and said, "I don't dare to give He Beihai such a big gift."

He Bai smiled and said, "Mr. Kang Cheng is famous all over the world. If he wants to become an official, he will be at least the honor of the three masters. How dare He Bai be rude to Mr. Kang Cheng if he is just an ignorant person?"

Zheng Xuan shook He Bai's hand and said, "As soon as He Beihai's "Hundred Disaster Prevention and Control Comprehensive Commentary" was released, no one in the world dared to say that He Beihai was an ignorant person."

It turns out that although society has been turbulent in the past few decades, the imperial court, from emperors to officials, believes in disasters and strangeness. Fu Rui's theory regards various natural disasters as punishment and warnings from God to mankind; and regards some rare phenomena in nature, such as the emergence of rare birds and strange animals, as God's reward to people and appreciation of "political clarity".

In order to prove that the rulers' behavior is in line with God's will, the court encouraged local governments to report "Fu Rui" step by step, so as to deify and praise the rule of the court. Until the past decade, disasters have become more and more serious, which has reduced these reported "Fu Rui" actions.

Although Zheng Xuan read the classics and history, he knew that the disasters were false, but he could not refute them, and he was very depressed and difficult to resolve. It was not until He Bai's "A Commentary on the Prevention and Control of Disasters" was released, and He Bai's various strange questions in the court that Zheng Xuan immediately saw the light, as if a magical door was pushed open in front of him, which contained a lot of knowledge that he had never seen before.

Ordinary people may think that He Bai is just a weird and strange saying and has no great talent. But in the eyes of people as eager to learn, the inexplicable knowledge in He Bai's mind is still a treasure trove of his learning knowledge. Just like Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan also attached great importance to He Bai. Even if he was mistaken for Zheng Xuan's flattery for He Bai, Zheng Xuan would not spare the hard work of hundreds of miles and came from Fuqi County, Donglai County to the counties outside the county boundary.

He Bai heard that Zheng Xuan came to wait for him specifically, and his feelings were beyond touching. You should know that Zheng Xuan is a master who is not even the great general He Jin. Even if Yuan Shao, who dominates the world in history, Cao Cao would not be able to take the initiative to serve Zheng Xuan. If an ordinary person can win Zheng Xuan's praise, he will definitely become a famous scholar in the world. He Bai can win hundreds of miles of Zheng Xuan, and he is definitely a famous scholar comparable to that of Confucianism.

He Bai was moved to cry, but he didn't know how to thank him. At the beginning of his post in Beihai, He Bai was worried that his background was not noble enough and too young, and would be despised and excluded by local scholars and wealthy families in Beihai and could not show his skills.

I am afraid that I can only stabilize a county by using tough measures like Tao Qian in Xuzhou, or killing people. Now with Zheng Xuan’s leading support, it is easy to stabilize a state. So I thanked Zheng Xuan again deeply and sincerely held the rituals of his disciples.

Zheng Xuan also said seriously: "I have heard of He Beihai's "Yin and Yang and Five Elements" and "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System", and also heard that He Beihai was about to come to Beihai to take office, and he couldn't help but feel extremely happy. With He Beihai's pastor to guard my hometown and my land, my land has been greatly governed, and the talents in my hometown have been very useful."

It turned out that Zheng Xuan not only valued He Bai's knowledge, but also valued He Bai's arrival, which would be of great benefit to the Beihai country. From He Bai's "Theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements", He Bai attaches importance to laws and regulations, and even if the emperor breaks the law, he still needs to be punished. This is better than the prince who violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people in "Records of the Grand Historian * Biography of Shang Jun". The Beihai will definitely be in a state of order in the future.

He Bai attaches importance to public morality and neglects private morality, which is better than those who value private morality and cherish their feathers to seek fame and reputation. There is also the saying of the five elements that are mutually reborn and mutually restrained, and complement each other. This is the concept of governing the country that does not despise any party. Zheng Xuan, who was born in poverty, also deeply agrees with him. He Bai came to govern the Beihai, and I think the poor families will have a day to make a comeback.

Although the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" has been finished, major events in the capital have occurred one after another, and it is impossible to form a law and regulations to pass through various states, counties and counties. Now He Bai has come to Beihai. With He Bai's suggestion, it is very simple to implement it in Beihai in advance with the understanding of the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System".

If He Bai could really do this in Beihai Kingdom, then Beihai Kingdom would really reach the fairyland on earth. So Zheng Xuan came to welcome He Bai without any effort, just to make his hometown very well and become more beautiful.

He Bai even said in panic: "Mr. Kang Cheng attaches so much importance to him, and he is very frightened. If he cannot control the Beihai, wouldn't he be guilty of being too serious?"

Zheng Xuan sighed: "He Beihai is so young and famous all over the world, and he has to guard the big county. He is still afraid that He Beihai is young and energetic, and he is unhearing. Now when he sees He Beihai's fear and humility, I feel very relieved. I should know that Beihai can achieve great governance. If He Beihai does not think that he is old, if he can use his old place, he is willing to help He Beihai with his strength."

Zheng Xuan's statement suddenly gave He Bai a reassurance. He Bai represents the power of the Beihai government and Zheng Xuan represents the power of local scholars. Combined with the two sides, even if there are a few local tyrants and evil gentry who do not know how to be practical, he cannot escape He Bai's iron fist. Just relying on the governance concept that He Bai has obtained in later generations, if the Beihai country cannot be greatly governed in a short period of time, He Bai might as well wipe his neck and commit suicide earlier.

After receiving political guarantees from Zheng Xuan, He Bai's mind finally settled a lot, so he asked about the various Yellow Turban thieves in Beihai Kingdom and Qingzhou.

After thinking about it, Zheng Xuan said, "The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou should be the most harmful to Zhang Rao, our Beihai Kingdom. Zhang Rao captured the people of Duchang, Xiami and Luxiang in Donglai. The following secrets were the strongholds, with 40,000 or 50,000 people. They were in a junction with Donglai Dangli Guanhai. The former Beihai met with the prefect of Donglai County and Qingzhou Prefectures and failed to win many times. They were also a fierce thief. Others such as Bailuo, Jinan Sima Ju, and Xu He each had two people. Thirty thousand people were rampant in the state, gathered or scattered, and there was no trace of coming and going, and the officers and soldiers could not fight. There was also the Le'an Pirate Guan Cheng to support the Yellow Turbans, and the Donglai Changdu Pirate King Camp supported the Yellow Turbans, so the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans could not fight it."

According to Zheng Xuan, the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thief was the strongest in Zhang Rao's troops. He Bai had never heard of the name Zhang Rao. However, Guan Hai from Dangli County, Dangli, was famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zong Bao, who killed Kong Rong, could fight with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds before being killed. His martial arts value was not weak, at least over ninety. Even Guan Hai was headed by Zhang Rao, which shows that the future disasters in Qingzhou and the gathering of millions of Yellow Turban Thiefs must be this person.

But the time to attack Zhang Rao is not yet the time to talk about it after taking office, so He Bai bowed to Zheng Xuan and said, "The major conquests cannot be settled in one day. Why not Mr. Kang Cheng and I go to Ju County with me? By the way, there is still an old friend of our army. For some reason, he cannot come to meet with him. He is willing to ask his teacher to move to the Central Army to meet with him."

Zheng Xuan went to the central army with He Bai in confusion. When he saw Cai Yong protruding his head in a ox cart, he immediately shouted and scolded him in anger. This is the appearance of the old friends meeting and the true feelings. Cai Yong repeatedly claimed guilty and invited Zheng Xuan to get on the cart. Only then did he tell the reason for pretending to be sick, and took several volumes from the "Book of the Later Han" that he had written recently and asked Zheng Xuan to comment on it.

He Bai did not disturb the academic discussions of the two great scholars, but arranged the students and military affairs brought by Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan had many talented people, and He Bai remembered that Sun Gan seemed to be his student. Sun Gan was a counselor in Liu Bei's early days. Although his talent was not too high, it was also very important, especially diplomacy, which was very convincing. In the future, if you want to manage Qingzhou well, you need to reserve officials in advance, and He Bai had to make arrangements in advance.

After warm reception, He Bai's attitude of treating wise men and nobles was loved by the scholars. If He Bai was willing to summon him, many people would agree. He Bai was even more surprised to find that among these members, not only Sun Gan, but also Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Xi Lu and other famous people in history were also among them. There were also unknown but talented people such as Zhao Shang, Gongsun Fang, and others, among which there were also many talents in the county. He Bai was very happy that these people were in control of Qingzhou Yi. So he welcomed everyone with the courtesy of a distinguished guest.

When the army rose again, when they reached the border between Anqiu and Langya Gumu in Beihai, they saw that more than a hundred officials from all over the country had arrived at the border to welcome the new prime minister of their country.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prince was granted a king and a county was appointed as a country. Each country had a tutor, and each prime minister was appointed. The Fu was in charge of the royal palace, and his position was like the Taifu of the Han Dynasty; the prefect of the county was in charge of government affairs; the prime minister had a chief minister, and his position was like the county magistrate. Another lieutenant was appointed, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and his position was like the county magistrate. He was the officer in charge of military affairs and arresting thieves.

The prime minister was in charge of governing a county, and his duties were heavy, so there were many Georgians. In addition to the lieutenant and chief minister, many subordinates were eliminated by the prime minister himself. Generally, people were appointed by the county, and only the subordinates of Sanfu of the Western Han Dynasty and Henan Yin of the Eastern Han Dynasty could appoint people from other counties. As for the initial establishment of border counties or ethnic minority areas within the territory, their subordinates used inner counties as usual to rule.

As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers will be able to do things on their jobs. Whether this official can still do things on his job depends on He Bai's new country's perception and attitude. Therefore, they cannot be free and slow, and dare to disrespect the new prime minister.

But the first sentence of the Lord and the Slaves meeting was not to say hello, but to shout in a slight terror: "The Prime Minister, the Prime Minister, the major matter is not good. The King of Beihai was unfortunately assassinated the day before yesterday..."
