Chapter 2672: Fame, wealth, love and hatred are all justifications
Among Sichuan and Sichuan.
All kinds of strange events that occurred in the construction of the road were reported to Sichuan immediately.
If there is a problem, of course it needs to be solved.
Go to solve the problem itself, not the person who asked the problem.
As an important decision maker supported by the support, Xu Shu naturally had to solve the problem for Xu Huang, who was on the front line, even a new problem that Xu Shu had never encountered before.
Xu Shu told Ma Heng.
There is a branch of the Wen Department in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the person in charge is Ma Heng.
Ma Heng has been traveling around in recent years. He was in Hanzhong, then in Longyou, and later in Chang'an to report his work, and was sent to Sichuan and Shu to build a branch of the Sichuan Youwensi.
Because the Wenshi is a double line between light and dark, it is easy to talk about on the surface, just some civilian jobs, passing on documents and collecting files, so it is also easy to recruit and resettle. Xu Shu assigned some civil servants to Ma Heng, and Ma Heng found some people himself, so he built them up.
However, it is generally not easy to find people with hidden lines.
Ma Heng has been busy with this matter for a while.
"Greetings to the envoy..." Ma Heng bowed to Xu Shu, "Heng came late, I hope the envoy forgives his crime."
Xu Shu said with a smile, stretching out his hand to invite him, "No need to be polite, please sit down."
Xu Shu glanced at the dust on Ma Heng's face and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Can you gain something in Guanghan County?"
Before Ma Heng came to meet Xu Shu, he built the framework of Youwensi in Guanghan County. On the one hand, he visited the countryside and on the other hand, he looked for talents who were secretly lined. After receiving the order from Xu Shu, he came from Guanghan County.
"I am in the county of Qi and find the descendants of Wang Luoyang..." Ma Heng smiled, "I can be said to be virtuous and always give him a position, and I can see his success..."
"Follower of Wang Luoyang?" Xu Shu asked.
Ma Heng smiled and said, "That's right." Then he said, "Wang Luoyang is honest, does not take the people's wealth, does not accept offerings, and even his family is poor, has no land, and is almost hungry and thirsty. Even so, he still study at home and works diligently, which is rare..."
Xu Shu also nodded and said, "I heard that Wang Luoyang was in office for three years, and the civil affairs were the Qing Dynasty. No officials were greedy for the market, no officials were greedy for money, but the middle way was destroyed. It was a pity. After the fall of Wang Luoyang, people paid tribute to the road, lamented the injustice of heaven, and accepted this wise man. He also lamented that no officials had robbed the market in Luoyang for three years, and the wise man died, and evil should arise again..."
Ma Heng also sighed.
Xu Shu waved his hand, "Since he is a wise man, if he can use it, he should treat it well. Well, I'll call Zhongchang to come today, and there are indeed important things to discuss..."
"Please speak, envoy." Ma Heng bowed and said.
"Can Zhongchang know about the labor service in the South Central?" Xu Shu asked.
Ma Heng frowned slightly, "Is the envoy talking about...a labor epidemic?"
Xu Shu nodded slowly.
"The envoy's intention is..." Ma Heng asked in a low voice.
Xu Shu stroked his beard, "After General Xu received the news, he attacked quickly to make things worse. However, he always felt that this matter was a little strange, so he hoped that Zhongchang would investigate it from multiple sources and investigate it...
Ma Heng bowed his head and took the order, "This is a matter of subordinates."
…(o?o?)…
Which are the best places to spy on news?
Perhaps people in later generations will say, driver, bodyguard, secretary...
However, in the Han Dynasty, there was only one person who could get access to important news and not have a slight position.
Book support.
Shu Zu is the assistant to the clerk who is in charge of documents. It is also known as the subordinate Shu Zu, the chief clerk, and the subordinate of the history.
Not only are there book assistants in the central court's Shangshu Dean, but there are book assistants in general prefectures, counties and counties, and the prefectures and county chiefs are themselves eliminated. Sometimes they are divided into internal and external book assistants. The inner book assistant is the subordinate officials close to the prefectures and county chiefs, and is called the subordinate book assistant. The outer book assistant who handles general documents has two fewer words, which is called Shuzu.
Zhang Zhi is such a scholar of books.
He had been in Sichuan and Shu for a long time. As early as Liu Zhang, he had served as a minor official in Guanghan County. Later, he was transferred to Mianyang. Recently, he arrived in Chengdu and served as the Chengdu Shuzuo.
Zhang Qi was wearing a long essay robe. It was originally black and blue, but after washing it many times, it became slightly faded and white. He hung a cloth bag around his waist, which contained some things. He slowly left the residence and headed towards the market.
"Zhang Shuzuo, are you busy?" Fangding saw Zhang Zhi and greeted him.
Zhang nodded, smiled, and said nothing, nor did he explain why he appeared here and what he was going to do...
Is Zhang Yi a fool? Obviously not. So unless he needs this gang to cooperate with him or wants this gang to reveal any information, normal people will not explain in detail what they will do next with a friend.
Zhang Yi was very careful.
Only by being careful can you live long.
Chengdu is very prosperous nowadays, with people coming and going on the streets.
People like this kind of prosperity and enjoy this kind of prosperity. Zhang Zhi also likes it, but there is a problem, which requires a lot of money to enjoy the prosperity well.
Only with money can you enjoy prosperity, otherwise these prosperity will be the subject of others, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Shi, right?
Zhang Yi bypassed the street corner and then arrived at the market.
In the market, there are more people coming and going, and there are more interesting goods, such as mellow wine, excellent mutton, and if there is more money, there are even Malaysia in Xiliang and Hu girls in the Western Regions, which are all OK...
What? Book?
No, Zhang Shi is not interested in books.
For Zhang Zhi, the book was just a tool he used to climb, so he had no interest in further research on this tool.
But he is still a book assistant now, and he is a book assistant who has just been transferred to Chengdu. He must be careful in everything, so he walked into the bookstore, then searched around, found the cheapest collection of essays, paid the money, and walked out in his hand.
After turning a corner, Zhang Chang walked into a small restaurant, ordered some food and tea, and then ordered a small pot of good wine and a small plate of lamb leg meat. While reading the collection, he slowly started to eat and drink.
As social supplies gradually become richer, the rules for two meals a day gradually lose their original restraint.
In fact, in ancient times, in tribal times, because of underdeveloped productivity, people were not bound by any concept or system, nor had any worldly concepts, so basically they just eat when they have something, eat when they are hungry, and don’t eat when they are not hungry, and there is no such saying that they eat regularly and at regular intervals. It was not until the Shang and Zhou dynasties that the etiquette system began to be born and improved, and the system of two meals a day gradually began to form.
Since there were no electric lights and candles in ancient times were too expensive, except for special days such as the Spring Festival, people in ancient times had no nightlife. After eating, they basically passed the day. This is why the ancients only ate two meals a day, because they didn’t have so much time to do activities.
But this is only for ordinary situations. In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the wealthy aristocratic families, especially the emperors, had already begun the "four meals a day". These four meals were "dan meals", "day meals", "night meals", and "night meals", which were breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snacks.
For example, the current restaurants in Chengdu are basically due to the needs of merchants. Sometimes people eat breakfast, sometimes some people eat late, and finally they turn into a whole day, most of the time, and cook as they go. The cheapest ones include boiled big pot of porridge soup, the better ones have side dishes, and the better ones are like the wine, braised meat and other things that Zhang Zhang ate...
No matter how good it is, you have to go to a big restaurant.
Zhang Zhi never goes to big restaurants, he only comes to such inconspicuous small restaurants.
"Brother, this book is good..." I don't know what happened, but there was a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman next to Zhang Qi, who seemed to be talking to him without saying anything.
Zhang Zhang heard that he put down his collection of essays, "It's really good... Well, do you want to take a look?"
The middle-aged man who looked like a businessman smiled and said, "I dare not ask for what I wish."
Zhang Qi handed over the collection, then lowered his head and continued to eat and drink. He ate a small bite of wheat rice, picked up a little dish, then drank a sip of wine, and a small piece of meat. He ate very slowly and was very attentive.
The middle-aged man looked through it for a while and smiled and said, "It's really good. I'll give you back the original book. Thank you... Uh, I'll ask, I bought this book in the bookstore? Is there any in the bookstore?"
Zhang Yi raised his head, took the collection with a smile, and nodded, "Of course I bought it from the bookstore, it was not far away. When I went to buy it, there were still a few more books..."
The two people started to discuss as if they were very interested in the content in the collection.
Zhang seemed to have made a little flip in order to verify the sentences and paragraphs in the collection, and then more smiles appeared on his face...
After a while, the middle-aged businessman left first.
Zhang Yi collected the collection of essays and continued to eat.
He speeded up his meal.
After a while, he finished the meal and called the shopkeeper to check the bill, so he walked home slowly.
When he got home, he closed the yard gate, then entered the house, closed the door. Then Zhang Qi took a breath and couldn't wait to take out the collection of articles from his arms, held them in both hands, then took out a piece of Feiqian in the collection, threw the collection of articles, then put his face on Feiqian, took intoxicated breath, and smiled in a daze, his face flushed, as if he was drinking the most fragrant jar of wine.
After a while, Zhang Yi took a long breath, then walked to the corner of the house. He moved a cabinet a little apart, then moved the blue bricks under the cabinet away, and took out a paint box wrapped in oil paper from under the blue bricks.
There are still oil paper wrapped in the paint box, and some lime powder that is anti-worm and anti-corrosion.
In the center of the box, there is a cloth bag.
Zhang Qi carefully took out the cloth bag, took out a stack of flying money from the cloth bag, and then happily counted it. Although Zhang Qi knew the number of flying money in his heart and counted it many times, he still carefully counted it again, put the newly obtained flying money on it, and satisfiedly put the cloth bag back into the paint box, and then did what he had done just now again...
Zhang Qi stood up, then patted the cabinet, just like a guard guarding money. Then he picked up the collection again, then turned it open, took out another piece of paper stuck in it, and frowned after looking at it, "Why is this?"
...⊙﹏⊙|||…
Ma Heng was a little worried.
The Youwensi, who was in charge of Sichuan and Sichuan, was not because he had any expertise in anti-spy, but because Ma Heng was relatively old on the one hand, and was loyal enough on the other hand.
As for calm work, they are actually relatively secondary conditions. After all, there are actually many people who are calm work. If this is the primary condition, then wouldn’t Donghe be the most suitable?
Dong He is so steady that he is not good at doing things. He is honest and calm. Isn’t it the most appropriate? In fact, it is not suitable, because no matter how calm Dong He is, he is all under Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. Therefore, Dong He can serve as the prefect, or even as the governor, but he cannot serve as the Youwensi.
Because the power controlled by Wen Si is far greater and more terrifying than what you see on the surface. If you are controlled by someone with a different mind, the consequences will inevitably be unimaginable.
If Ma Heng had come to Sichuan earlier, he might have been better when facing the current situation, at least he would not be so short of staffing.
There are too many points that require control and too few people. No matter what, everyone spends twelve hours. When it comes to paying attention to this aspect, it is impossible to have to stare at another person in another place at the same time.
If you entrust the matter to ordinary soldiers, or inspectors or something, you may accidentally leak news and alert the enemy, and you will be noticed by spies...
Xu Shu felt that there were some spies in Sichuan and Shu, after all, they were all in Chang'an, so there was no reason that Sichuan and Shu would be a pure soil. So this time, after Xu Huang arrived in Sichuan, the epidemic occurred in the labor camp, which may not be artificial, or it may be that someone secretly destroyed it.
What Ma Heng needs to do now is to establish the Sichuan and Shu Youwensi Department, not only should we screen the officials in Sichuan and Shu, conduct a complete survey, and establish a complete file, but also cooperate with Xu Shu and Xu Huang to investigate the current emergencies. In this way, the establishment of the Youwensi Department is short and the problem of insufficient manpower is more obvious.
At the same time, Ma Heng will not only plan in Sichuan and Sichuan in the future, but also extend its tentacles. So although Ma Heng responds very readily, he is actually quite worried.
Even if you are worried, you still have to have a meal.
As the sunset gradually set, Ma Heng returned home.
Because of the continued political instability in the Jingzhou area and Cao Cao's blood-drawing strategy for Jingzhou, the Ma clan, like the Pang family, began to move to Guanzhong and other relatively stable areas.
Some of the people from the Ma family went to Chang'an, some went to Sichuan and Shu, and of course some continued to stay in Jingzhou.
Most of the gentry families are like this, and they never say that they put all the eggs in one basket.
As the founder of the Wenshu of Sichuan, Ma Heng basically had to stay in Sichuan and Sichuan for a long time if there were no unexpected situations, so he settled his own home in Chengdu. At the same time, in addition to Ma Heng's own family, he also had his fourth brother.
Ma Heng's eldest brother stayed in Jingzhou, the third brother went to Chang'an, and the fourth brother came to Sichuan.
It is considered a regular configuration for aristocratic families.
The eldest brother inherits the family business in his hometown, and the rest of his children scattered everywhere, like seeds, perhaps withering, or growing into taller and more majestic trees than before. At that time, it will not be the only one in his hometown...
There are colleges in Chengdu, and Ma Heng's fourth brother went to school in the college, which was earlier than Ma Heng's return.
During the meal, the fourth brother of Ma Heng seemed to notice that Ma Heng's expression was a little wrong, but he didn't say anything directly. Instead, he waited after the meal and asked Ma Heng what had happened.
Ma Heng waved his hand, "Fourth brother, study with peace of mind, there is no need to worry about these matters. By the way, I have always wanted to ask you why not go to Chang'an? The Chang'an Academy is definitely better than Chengdu."
On the one hand, Ma Heng is keeping it confidential, and on the other hand, he does not want to distract Ma Liang from studying.
Ma Liang smiled, "But there are many people in Chang'an... and there will be more and more..."
『What does it mean?』 Ma Heng frowned and said, 『Is there a lot of people in the palace good? Please help each other and promote each other together.』
Ma Liang nodded, "No, there will be no mutual benefit soon... Everyone needs to take the exam, it's not the filial piety and honesty used to be used, and reputation is no longer useful, so... Haha, I heard that the students who passed the Chang'an exam basically have to go to Longyou... So even if I go to Chang'an, I can't stay there, so it's better to just come to Sichuan and Shu."
『This is how...』 Ma Heng thought for a moment, nodded, 『So, are you going to become an official in Sichuan? Why? Longyou is actually okay...』
"No," Ma Liang shook his head and said, "There will be a problem with Longyou sooner or later... Sichuan and Shu are better, and looking at the layout of the cavalry, Sichuan and Shu are the places where they are rushing. They can enter Jingzhou in the east and Jiaozhou in the south, they can be merchants, pastors, farming, guarding, and fighting. No matter what I do in the future, I have a chance... greater than in Chang'an...
Ma Heng thought for a moment, nodded, and then asked: "What do you mean when you say something goes wrong with Longyou sooner or later? Longyou has now been awarded the title of Beigong, what else can there be any problem?"
"Beigong is dead, and there are Nangong, Xigong and so on..." Ma Liang smiled and said, "After all, the Western Qiang is different from the Eastern Qiang. The raw wheat rice must be cooked for a while. There must be Qiang people who don't like it or are not used to the rules of the Han family, so... it's like the Southern Xiongnu... Okay, second brother, since you don't want to say something about the worries, it must be a secret matter, so I won't ask more questions, but I have some suggestions, can I hear it?"
"Tell me, let's see..." Ma Heng nodded.
"The key to government affairs is nothing more than human affairs. In human affairs, people must have a plan for doing something." Ma Liang said slowly, "Famousness, wealth, love and hatred are nothing more than this. If things are not fixed, they often fail to seek the result with the cause. If the matter is settled, it is easy to rely on the result with the result. Do you agree with the second brother?"
After hearing this, Ma Heng frowned and thought for a moment, nodded, and then smiled and said, "I am taught now! Haha...Famousness, fortune, love and revenge, it is indeed so, it is indeed so..."
