Chapter 2261: Follow the rules or not, be reasonable or not
"Little Glacier..."
Fei Qian looked at the information, frowned, and muttered.
Judging from these materials, things that were lacking in records in history are now gradually revealed.
Yinshan is the northernmost climate observation station established by Fei Qian.
Every year, soldiers will go north to observe the arrival time of the winter snow line, record the number of snowstorms, etc. However, because these soldiers are not very clear about what they are doing, they often include some daily records.
Among other things, this results in a large number of these records, which are complex and trivial.
If these bamboo slips and wooden tablets were accidentally lost under the ice and wrapped in frozen soil, who knows how much trouble they would cause when they were discovered in later generations?
In this case, when you have the opportunity, do you bury some stone pillars, metal pillars and the like somewhere, and then mark this place as the territory of China since ancient times? Although it may not be of any use, it can be used to block it when taken out.
Stop those chattering mouths?
Well, let’s wait until we have time to do this.
What we have to face now is still the Little Glacier.
This year's temperature seems to be normal, a little drier and a little hotter, but it seems to be within the acceptable range. However, Fei Qian always feels that this is abnormal, like Xiaoglacier wants to beat someone up.
, of course you don’t have much strength if you always stretch out your fist. Now you retract it, and then when you punch out next...
It's definitely more painful than before and now.
When faced with such a large-scale climate problem, it is inevitable that a sense of insignificance will arise in our hearts.
"Come here! Go and invite Mancheng!" Fei Qian pushed the records and information aside, and then ordered, "Also, prepare some tea!"
There is no doubt that if the Little Glacier attacks, Yinshan Mountain will definitely be...well, and Zhao Yun's side will also be the first area to be attacked by the climate...
So you must prepare in advance. The more preparations you make, the better.
Li Dian came quickly and held his hands in greeting.
"The reserves of Yinshan City still need to be strengthened..." Fei Qian motioned to the guards to serve tea and said straight to the point, "Come on, Mancheng, let's take a look..."
Fei Qian pushed several records over and motioned to Li Dian to check them.
Among those records, there are some words that Fei Qian specially circled with a red pen.
"The second year, mid-November, I saw light snow for the first time. It stopped for three days. The snow was ankle deep."
"In the third year, at the beginning of November, there was heavy snowfall. It lasted for more than ten days, and people and horses could not move."
"In October of the fourth year, there was a sudden snowstorm, the breath turned into ice, and many barbarians died of freezing in the wild..."
After Li Dian finished reading, he raised his head and asked, "My lord, is there also a severe cold this year?"
"It's not necessary." Fei Qian replied, "But it is necessary to be prepared. The number of war horses in Yinshan is the highest among all states, and the daily consumption of food and grass is also staggering. Fortunately, there is abundant pasture here, so there is no danger. If the weather is severely cold,
The grass is yellow and dry, and heavy snow has blocked the roads, making it difficult to transport..."
Li Dian's hand trembled a little, probably imagining the scene described by Fei Qian, "What the Lord said is true! I will definitely ensure that the reserves are sufficient and the warehouse is full!"
"If you have a certain intention..." Fei Qian said in a deep voice, "Multiple the number of warehouses!"
"Huh?" Li Dian thought the original number of warehouses was enough, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to double it.
"If the climate is normal within three to five years, it will only cost some energy and wood..." Fei Qian said slowly, "If the weather changes, these will be the basis for survival..."
"But..." Li Dian was a little embarrassed.
It wasn't that Li Dian meant to shirk the blame, or that he was unwilling to carry out the execution, or that he didn't believe what Fei Qian said about the approaching severe cold. It was just because there were not many trees in the Yinshan Mountains, and there were even fewer trees suitable for use as warehouses. After all, warehouses are different from ordinary ones.
Buildings are different and have higher requirements, especially wood. It must not only be large enough, but also dry enough. It is best to use wood that has been dried in the shade for more than three years. But where can we find these wood in Yinshan now?
Fei Qian smiled, as if he understood Li Dian's difficulty, and pointed outside the hall, "Yinshan has few trees but many rocks!"
"The Lord's intention is to dig out a mountain to dig a cave? Use it as a warehouse?" Li Dian understood Fei Qian's meaning almost immediately, "But the work of digging into the mountain... is also very labor-intensive..."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "This matter... is difficult to say, easy to say, but it is simple... A certain person has ordered the mobilization of Pingyang craftsmen and Beiqu gunpowder to open the mountain here... Now he called Mancheng to come forward.
I am asking, if a mountain cave is used as a warehouse, where is the best place..."
If it was a small matter before, using gunpowder to blast open roads, destroy village gates, etc., now it is a major project.
Perhaps it was also the first of its kind in the Han Dynasty.
"Gunpowder... can open up mountains and mountains..." Li Dian murmured a few words, and then he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He had seen gunpowder back then, and he also knew what level of existence this kind of thing had in the hussar army.
, and now Fei Qian actually wants him to be responsible for such a project, using these terrifyingly powerful things...
For Fei Qian, the power of these gunpowders is indeed "scary".
All gunpowder is like dregs in front of the big mushroom.
But Li Dian didn't know about big mushrooms, so he thought gunpowder was scary. However, Fei Qian actually trusted a surrendered general like him, not only willing to live in Yinshan City, but also willing to let him command such a weapon.
Use, even if it is just used to dig mountains, is enough to prove something...
Li Dian fell to the ground and said, "I will never give up and live up to my lord's trust!"
Fei Qian: "..."
……( ̄ ̄=)……
On the other side of the Han territory, another person said almost the same words, "My subordinates will definitely live up to my master's trust!"
The one who fell to the ground was Cui Yan.
The one on top is Cao Cao.
Standing aside was Chen Qun.
Cao Cao laughed and pulled Cui Yan up, "With Ji Gui as your assistant, you will have no worries!"
As Cao Cao spoke, he smiled slightly and nodded to Chen Qun beside him.
Chen Qun and Cui Yan bowed again, then retreated, preparing to start the talent selection process...
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was watching the two people leave happily. Then the smile slowly solidified on his face, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Brother Benchu..." Cao Cao said softly, "I never thought that I would still follow your old path..."
The new road is full of thorns.
The old road is easier to walk, after all, people have walked it before.
Cui Yan lowered his head, which represented that Cao Cao and the Jizhou nobles had entered a new stage.
The stage of mutual compromise.
Because Cao Cao agreed to launch a large-scale talent recommendation and recruitment campaign in Jizhou, the people in Jizhou dropped the message of competing with Cao Cao and began to obey Cao Cao's instructions.
After all, his previous behavior was to negotiate terms and gain benefits. Now that Cao Cao has compromised, everyone in Jizhou will naturally take a step back. It is not a good character to push beyond the limit.
It's like two people boxing in the ring. If they are desperately entangled, it's not a boxing match. It's a judo match, so they will inevitably keep a certain distance, then retract their fists, and then punch out.
As for now, of course it is the stage of mutual withdrawal. As for the bell for the next round, it has not yet sounded.
There is no doubt that Cao Cao needs a stable Jizhou and Yuzhou. Under such a general premise, when Cao Cao saw that he could not immediately regain the upper and lower parts of Jizhou for his own use, he threw out corresponding benefits in exchange for the support of the upper and lower parts of Jizhou.
.
Political balance, the price of mutual compromise.
It's like drinking poison to quench thirst.
If you didn't kill your opponent in the last round, then the next round will be a more ferocious fight between the two sides.
If Cao Cao can win in Youzhou, then he can naturally use his victory to oppress these Jizhou nobles, just like Yuan Shao expanded his power to the entire Qingzhou of Jizhou with almost no effort after annihilating Gongsun Zan.
, if Yuan Shao had not mistakenly turned his attention to Fei Qian's Bingzhou at that time, but directly launched an offensive against Cao Cao's Yanzhou, it is said that with Cao Cao's strength at the time, there would be no way to deal with it...
Because in this round, people from Jizhou have obtained certain positions, and their control over the local area will be strengthened again, and all kinds of deficits caused by certain things before will be erased after the new officials take office, and
These things will have a negative impact on Cao Cao's next stage of control, and Cao Cao will definitely not forget these matters. Behind the smile on the surface, there is coldness hidden behind it.
Chen Qun and Cui Yan bowed to each other again at the gate of the General's Mansion, and then walked out hand in hand. Facing the reserve officials who were preparing for the final exam in the front yard of the General's Mansion, they prepared
Lang Guan.
Become an official...
Well, I am about to become an official.
As long as you pass this threshold in front of you, you will be an official.
After becoming an "official", what can I do?
Of course hey hey hey...
Then collect more money, gain more power, become a bigger official, and then have more hehehe...
Everyone has his or her own ambitions.
Is not it?
Chen Qun stood on the steps and Cui Yan stood aside.
Therefore, Cui Yan saw the longing look in the eyes of the Jizhou disciples in front of him, and couldn't help but smile slightly and stroke his beard.
Cui Yan still takes good care of his beard. Although it is not as good as some people's beards, Cui Yan also takes good care of it. He not only wipes it from time to time on weekdays, but also uses a tips bag to clean it at critical times.
Pick up your pocket.
After all, this thing is just a facade. If a person is healthy, his beard will naturally be shiny. If a person is slovenly and poor, he will definitely not have the mind to care about what his beard looks like.
But when Cui Yan and Chen Qun finally unfolded the scroll in their hands and read out the exam questions aloud, Cui Yan accidentally tore off two precious beards, which were messy in the wind...
Examinations originally existed in the Han Dynasty, and were then carried forward in the hands of Qiusi Feiqian, affecting Shandong. To a certain extent, the children of Shandong were not necessarily disgusted with this method. Anyway, there was internal information.
If I weren't afraid that there would be trouble if there were too many standard answers, I would have even asked someone to help me write them first.
Anyway, generally speaking, they first come up to praise the big man, and then praise Cao Cao a few words, and then express their ambitions, and they will definitely govern the place "well". Please rest assured, the court, and the general, please rest assured...
But now...
"Today there is a city, but I don't know how big it is. There are acres of land, but I don't know how many. There are mulberry crops, but I don't know the quantity. There are small officials, but I don't know the good and the bad. What should I do if I am a leader? Please answer. The time limit is three days."
Chen Qun's voice was faint, and everyone looked panic-stricken.
"Chief Chen!" Cui Yan stared and came over, "What kind of topic is this? The original topic was not this!"
Chen Qun smiled slightly and said: "This topic is newly decided by the Lord today..."
Cui Yan shook his sleeves and said, "This question is ridiculous! How can I answer it if I don't know anything about it? It would make sense to change it to the original question!"
Chen Qun looked at Cui Yan, his smile did not change at all, "Cui Biejia, this question... my lord can answer it, so can I. Is it possible that these people can't answer it?"
Cui Yan took a long breath, stared, and wanted to have an attack, but there was no reason to do so.
It’s just an exam question, and it’s not a matter of life and death. If they fall out like this, wouldn’t the previously negotiated conditions have to be overturned again?
But if you just answer like this, it would be too embarrassing...
Choose benefits or embarrassment?
As long as you don't feel embarrassed, then the embarrassment belongs to others.
Cui Yan's beard twitched, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face. He no longer argued whether the question was reasonable or standard, but turned to the disciples in the audience who were preparing to answer the question and said: "Everyone
!Good answer!』
……щ(?Д?щ)……
Not every exam is fatal, but it is certainly not just the exams that are fatal.
Just like this time's dispatch of troops, Zhu Zhi felt that it would cost him his life.
Sun Quan's courteous treatment, generous attitude, and meticulous care and love for the Zhu family have now turned into knives sticking to Zhu Zhi's back, making it difficult for him to hide.
Who doesn't know in Jiangdong now that Sun Quan has the best attitude towards Zhu Zhi?
Sun Quan personally came to Zhu's Mansion to pay his respects. Not only did he give Zhu Zhi enough courtesy, he even gave gifts to everyone in the Zhu Mansion, including the servants of Zhu's Mansion!
Zhu Zhi knew that these were life-buying gifts! Buying his life, buying the lives of everyone in the Zhu family!
When you go out to sell, you can always hope to meet a good buyer. But when you meet a buyer who is too talkative, the seller will always wonder whether the price you bid is too low and the sale is at a loss...
You can't just return those gifts and go through the process again.
Once you get the money to buy your life, you have to give up your life.
One's own or someone else's.
Rules are rules. If you don't follow the rules, no one will tell you the rules in the future. At that time, you will still be the one who suffers.
So now, I still have to talk about the rules...
There were four people sitting in the small room.
Zhu, Gu, Zhang, Lu.
"I have dozens of servants in my house, three hundred shi of grain, and ten jars of fine wine... If Uncle Zhu Shi needs anything, he will have it delivered immediately..."
The one who speaks first is of course the youngest.
Zhu Zhi glanced at Lu Xun, was he the one who sent these dozens of servants and three hundred shi of grain? What's more, this meant that he was going even if he didn't go.
And Lu Xun particularly emphasized wine...
"Good wine?" Zhu Zhi smiled slightly, with a bit of disdain in his smile, "Just let my nephew drink it by himself!"
"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Lu Xun bowed and bowed, then stepped back to a corner and stopped talking.
Zhu Zhi looked at Gu Yong, but Gu Yong still didn't speak.
This is Gu Yong's advantage and also Gu Yong's shortcoming.
"Brother Zhang..." Zhu Zhi turned to look at Zhang Yun, "This matter..."
"Cough cough... cough cough..." Zhang Yun coughed twice, "Ah, old man, time is not forgiving. If my body and bones are good, I will definitely accompany Brother Zhu on a trip!"
Zhu Zhi frowned slightly.
Just when Zhu Zhi felt a little unhappy, Gu Yong spoke. "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhang's meaning is very beautiful..."
"Huh?" Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yun. After a moment, he smiled suddenly, "Sure enough, not bad! Give me more advice from Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Yun waved his hand, "We are all in the same spirit...Brother Zhu is so polite..."
"In this case, I have been ordered to go on an expedition!" Zhu Zhi laughed and cupped his hands, "I ask you three to take care of the chores at home..."
"That's the way it is, brother Zhu, you can rest assured." Zhang Yun nodded and said, Gu Yong and Lu Xun also agreed.
The discussion was settled, and the three of them left without waiting much longer.
Zhu Zhi sent the three of them away with a smile. When he came back, all the sunshine on his face turned into coldness.
"With the same spirit, the branches are connected! This is the same spirit with the branches!" Zhu Zhi patted the table and gritted his teeth, "What a "with the same spirit, the branches are connected"!"
"Father..." Zhu Ran walked out of the backyard and waved all the servants around him to step back, then stepped forward and said, "Father, please calm down..."
Zhu Zhi was still angry and pointed outside the hall, "You heard it too, what is it? Ah? That boy from the Lu family talked about wine when he came up! It's like he was afraid that I would forget the ten-year agreement! You bastard!"
!』
"Then that guy named Zhang pretended to be sick again! What's even more annoying is that the guy named Gu actually asked me to pretend to be sick!" Zhu Zhi patted the table, "A certain Mr. Zhu! Could it be possible that he became a shrinking head?"
Turtle, a person who pretends to be sick to avoid trouble?! Then when someone says he is going to war, everyone is all smiles, and there is nothing wrong with them! This is the same spirit connecting branches! You still have the nerve to say that the same spirit is connecting branches! It’s really a bad thing!
』
Zhu Ran frowned, "But...my father, in the previous battle in Changsha, many good men in the family were lost, and now we are going to war again..."
When Zhu Zhi heard this, he also let out a long sigh, somewhat helpless, "Now that Zhou Gongjin and Zhang Zibu have all agreed to go to war, if someone avoids it, how can he convince everyone in the future? The matter has come to this, and there is no way to avoid it... But this
Even in wars, not everything will go as planned. You must know the old saying... there will be danger outside... Haha, haha! 』
