At that time, Zhu Fuqiang gave the people a yellow croaker and a harvest of rice. In addition, Jiaozhi was rich in pearls, shells, strays, emeralds, tortoise shells, rhinoceros, and elephant pearls, and he gathered astonishing wealth.
Therefore, the governor's office and the official residence where Zhu Fu usually attended and lived were built extremely luxuriously. There were hundreds of houses, with rows of rows and eaves.
Suodanchi, with wooden roof and rafters.
But now these are cheaper Zhang Jin.
At this time, Zhang Jin, who was wearing a crimson scarf and a gauze robe, was sitting under the official residence hall. He was about forty years old, with a medium build, a thin face, and a beard that reached his upper chest.
He was from Nanyang County. He once served in the shogunate of General He Jin, and conspired with Yuan Shao and others to kill the eunuchs and help the world. Unfortunately, in the end, Dong Zhuo suddenly led his troops to Beijing, so all their efforts were in vain.
This was also the beginning of the shaken state of the country and the beginning of chaos in the world. Zhang Jin still feels extremely regretful when he thinks about it.
What he didn't expect was that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who fought side by side and were close to each other back then, would now turn against each other and fight each other. However, with their current status, neither of them had any room to make concessions.
How can two tigers be tolerated in the Central Plains?
Zhang Jin was thousands of miles away, free and at ease, and there was no doubt that he would intervene in the dispute between the two. However, Cao Cao was kind to him. If he had not received his approval back then, he would have had the chance to become the leader of a state. In addition, Cao Cao used the king's orders on the outside and heavy profits on the inside.
, making it difficult for Zhang Jin to refuse.
Over the past few days, Zhang Jin summoned the generals, stocked up on food and fodder, and had everything ready, waiting for an auspicious time to set off. And this auspicious day was determined by him after repeated divination, and it will be tomorrow.
Zhang Jin is not only good at the "Book of Changes" and divination, but also loves the "Tao Te Ching", especially "Laozi's Five Thousand Essays" and "Taipingdongji Jing" annotated by Zhang Daoling. The latter two are already Taoist books, although they are said by Taoists
It was regarded as a "treasure book", but in the eyes of scholars, it was tantamount to crooked ways and was criticized as "evil and vulgar". Especially after the Zhongping Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was even more criticized.
Zhang Jin has been studying Taoism for many years. When he was in the Central Plains, he lived both in the government and at home, and was surrounded by Confucian scholars. Therefore, he had to restrain himself and did not dare to show off easily. But after he came to Jiaozhi, he no longer hid it.
In the past, the people of Bashu believed in primitive witchcraft. These evil people gathered people to collect money, performed obscene rituals, and committed all kinds of evil. After the Taoist Zhang Daoling entered Shu, he passed on the Book of Heaven and treasured scriptures, so that the people of Shu were no longer harmed by evil spirits.
In the land of Jiaozhi, the mountains and rivers are far away, the customs are uneven, the languages are similar and different, and the people are like animals. The Han barbarians here also mostly believe in witchcraft, which is worse than the land of Bashu.
Zhang Jin believes that the Han Confucian classics are too profound, not to mention the barbarians in the mountains, and even the Han people living in the cities may not be able to understand it. The threshold for entry into Taoism is much lower, and it is more acceptable to the ignorant Han and barbarian people. Therefore,
In order to better educate the people, Zhang Jin began to spread Taoism in Jiaozhou, and he did not hesitate to modify the established laws of the court.
His approach was strongly opposed by Shi Xie and other northern celebrities who were avoiding chaos. They thought that he was so obsessed with Taoism that he forgot the words and teachings of Confucian sages and put the cart before the horse. It was really ridiculous.
Zhang Jin didn't take it seriously and continued to be the same as before. Today, there is chaos in the world and turmoil in the sea. He is in Jiaozhi and can be said to be a prince. No one can force him to change what he wants to do.
Zhang Jin slowly and gracefully lit the incense burner beside the table, and smoke flew out from the incense burner. In an instant, the room was filled with incense.
"Boom..."
Zhang Jin put his hands on the guqin in front of him, and a melodious song "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" slowly flowed out from his fingers. The magnificent and exciting tune surrounded the beams of the house.
As the name suggests, "Nie Zheng Assassins the King of Han" tells the tragic story of Nie Zheng during the Warring States Period, who stabbed the King of Han to death and then committed suicide. It also has another more popular name: "Guangling San"
》.
"Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" is a rare piece of music in the world, and only a few people can play it. In order to get this rare piano piece in the world, he used his precious collection of books at home to get it, and the price was astonishing. But for those who like to play the piano
For him, it was very worthwhile.
Zhang Jin showed satisfaction on his face. "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" is a large-scale piano piece, and it is quite difficult to talk about it in its entirety. Moreover, he did not make any mistakes during the process and performed it perfectly. This is very rare.
At this time, a servant wearing a green scarf came to the door and whispered: "The envoy, Lord Shifu and the generals have all arrived in the main hall."
After hearing this, Zhang Jin stood up calmly, walked outside the door and took a car to the main hall.
Shi Xie and other generals were waiting outside the hall. Shi Xie was over sixty years old this year, more than ten years older than Zhang Jin. However, he did not look old. He had a strong body, a serious face, and was as gentle as the Central Plains.
Taxi literati are no different.
Compared with Zhang Jin, who wore a crimson scarf and showed no dignity, Shi Xie wore a turban with the Erliang Jinxian crown on his head and a black official robe, standing among the crowd like a chicken.
Among the people present, the civil officials were naturally headed by Shi Xie, while the military officials were headed by Ou Jing. He was a descendant of the Ou clan of Changsha's wealthy family, Ou Xiong, and the clan brother of Ou Sheng.
His family's ancestors have been military officers in Jiaozhi for generations. He followed his father to Jiaozhi when he was more than ten years old. After more than ten years of hard work, he is now quite famous in Jiaozhi and is deeply respected by the Han barbarians. He currently lives in Lifeng Campus.
As a lieutenant, he had thousands of elite Han soldiers under his command.
Zhang Jin can be called a famous person. He has been in the government and outside the country for many years, and he is not lacking in mental skills. He relied on Shi Xie to secure his position as the governor of Jiaozhi. Later, in order to avoid being ignored by Shi Xie, he quickly attracted generals such as Ou Jing.
He has the great righteousness of the imperial court, has an official title, and has the power of appointment. At least the prefect and the lieutenant general can be appointed at will, so he can have both sides among the officials and the local officials.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing Zhang Jin get off the car, Shi Xie, Ou Jing and others all paid their respects.
Zhang Jin stepped forward to help Shi Xie. The latter was not only a local snake in Jiaozhi, but also a talented and learned elder. He should be treated with sufficient respect. At the same time, he nodded to Qu Jing and other generals and said: "You are exempt from courtesy."
Zhang Jin took Shi Xie's hand and walked into the hall, saying, "After I lead the army northward, Jiaozhi will be handed over to me."
Shi Xie said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, it is a foregone conclusion that Liu Jingzhou has swept through Jingnan. Our Jiaozhi area is vast and sparsely populated, with many barbarians. It is far less rich and powerful than Jingzhou. The number of troops in your hands is only more than ten thousand, which is no more than that of Jingzhou."
An army of eleven is absolutely invincible."
Zhang Jin disagreed and said: "How can I enhance the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige? I am just following the king's order to fight against the unconquered ministers. Once I enter Liao and Guangxi, I will definitely gain the support of the soldiers and the people. When I occupy Liao and Guangxi to resist, what can Liu Jingsheng do to me?"
