The so-called imitation of Yi Yin and Huo Guang in Xi Chao's words is actually the act of abolishing the establishment of the Shang Dynasty. Yi Yin was the founding hero of the Shang Dynasty and a famous minister of power. King Taijia of Shang was stupid and immoral, so Yi Yin deposed himself as regent. Huo Guang
Needless to say, Liu He, the deposed king of Changyi, ascended the throne and became the regent. The two of them were collectively known as "Yihuo", which is known to the world. The so-called "Yihuo" thing refers to the thing of deposing Li.
Xi Chao continued: "This matter will not only establish prestige in the Jin Dynasty, but also break the Yu family's monopoly. As a foreign relative, the Yu family has exclusive power in the court, and has slandered and disrespected Duke Huan. Today's superior, Ma Yi, is fatuous and incompetent, and only believes in Yu.
The Yu family. If he is deposed, the Yu family will be deposed. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must rely on Duke Huan. By then, with the help of the new emperor, the Yu family can be eradicated, which will intimidate Wang Xie and the great families in the world. At that time, the great families in the world will surely
I'm afraid Duke Huan won't be able to stop him even if he wants to."
Huan Wen's long eyebrows trembled and his lips kept twitching. Although this was bold, it was indeed very tempting. He was definitely capable of doing this, he just needed to find a suitable reason.
"Of course, there is no need to rush into this matter. Duke Huan can consider it carefully before making a decision. Now, we should be prepared for this and recruit talents from all over the world for Duke Huan to use. The king and the wealthy family are proud of themselves, but Duke Huan can do the opposite.
In order to do this, he would recruit small and medium-sized nobles, and even children from poor families, and give them favors. Once these people are promoted, they will be loyal to Duke Huan and burst into tears. Duke Huan can recruit them in a big way, and when he does things in the future, these people will encourage and respond and influence people's hearts.
." Xi Chao said in a deep voice.
Huan Wen frowned and said: "It's understandable to recruit small and medium-sized nobles, but recruiting people from poor families? What's the use of that?"
Xi Chao smiled and said: "There are talents among poor families. Duke Huan should win the hearts of the people so that he can solidify his foundation and win the hearts of the people. These people from poor families actually have a deep relationship with the people. Through them, they can win the hearts of the people."
For example, Li Hui, the magistrate of Juchao County, wasn't it him who held off Yuan Jin's grain-grabbing troops this time, allowing Huan Xu to capture him? I heard from Huan Xu that this person was doing something in Juchao County.
He was responsible for many major events, including the bandits and refugees in Juchao County. Not long ago, the floods in the north of the Yangtze River affected all the two counties and six counties nearby. Only Li Hui took precautions and withstood the floods. Only one person in Juchao County was able to withstand the flood.
The county was not affected by the disaster. This man has a high reputation in Juchao County. Wherever he goes, he is welcomed by the people and he is very popular."
Huan Wen had heard the name Li Hui, the magistrate of Juchao County, many times. When he heard this name coming from Xi Chao's mouth again, he was deeply impressed.
"Oh? Is this person so capable? It seems worth recruiting. Just ask Huan Xu to talk to him. If he is willing, he can be transferred to you as a subordinate. Talents like this should be recruited naturally." Huan Wen smiled.
road.
Xi Chao smiled and said: "Huan Xu had a falling out with him, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go. I asked Huan Xu to ask Li Hui to come to the Shouyang army to meet him this time, but Li Hui actually refused. Huan Xu was angry and scolded him.
He, the two of them had a quarrel."
Huan Wen said in shock: "Why doesn't that guy come? Isn't he from a poor family? You want to see him, but he doesn't come? Don't you want a future?"
Xi Chao said: "The specific situation is unknown. Yes, this person was recommended by the Gu family of Wu County. Just let the Gu family ask him."
Huan Wen nodded, but he didn't really care about such a thing. He pondered for a moment and said to Xi Chao: "Jing Xing, what you said today makes sense. It's really time for me to change my strategy. But if you want to act, you still need to be cautious.
Planning. I also need to think about it carefully. But what you said today made me suddenly enlightened. Jingxing, I am so lucky to have you by my side. I know that there are people outside who are gossiping about you.
He pointed out what he did. I hope you don’t care about this, I will never treat you badly.”
Xi Chao bowed and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Huan, Jing Xing will not care about those ignorant words. Jing Xing will only serve Ming Gong in his life, and he has made great achievements, and his life will not be in vain."
…
In early August, the air is crisp and clear.
Compared with the disturbances and attacks from the outside world, Juchao County is simply a paradise.
During this period of time, Li Hui was concerned about only two things. The first was to pay attention to the rice that was gradually maturing and could be harvested in half a month. This was related to the livelihood of the people in Juchao County this winter and spring.
The second is to plan the strategy of strengthening the dams and dredging the canals in Juchao County. It is very important to make a good plan in this area. Li Hui hopes to strengthen all the dams in Shili Liangtian and dredge the ditches and ponds in the polders.
Deepen. The reinforcement of the Jiaohu Levee is for future flood control. After all, it has narrowly escaped this year, and it can even be said that it has suffered from the collapse of levees in other counties. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job in reinforcing the levee.
Of course, Li Hui knew that this project was huge and the amount of manpower and materials consumed was definitely not a small amount. So what he wanted to do was to complete the reinforcement project of the dam in sections during his term of office in three years. He would use his winter leisure time to organize the people to carry out this project.
This project cannot be comprehensively reinforced. At least the key embankment locations and dangerous areas can be reinforced. It does not mean that it can be guaranteed for thirty to fifty years, even if it can be guaranteed for three to five years, for the people living in Chao,
That will also be five years for them to live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, Li Hui was naturally concerned about what was happening outside. When the news came that Huan Wen's army had conquered Shouyang, Li Hui was not surprised. Yuan Zhen acted rebelliously, and treason itself was unpopular. This time Huan Wen stood up
On the moral high ground.
Besides, Shouyang is such a big place, how can an isolated city be defended? It will be conquered sooner or later.
This is a good thing. At least Juchao County is less dangerous to the north. Huan Wen appointed Huan Yi as the governor of Huainan County, in charge of all military affairs in Yuzhou, and stationed 5,000 troops in Shouyang City. This is equivalent to setting up a barrier in the north. He does not need to
I am worried that the refugees from Yuzhou are coming to Juchao County, and Juchao County can no longer handle too many refugees.
When Li Hui came to Juchao County in the twelfth lunar month of last year, the total population of Juchao County was only 6,000 households and less than 20,000. There were only a few thousand residents in Juchao County. Eight months later, the entire population of Juchao County
The number of households has recovered to about 20,000, and the population has exceeded 100,000.
Moreover, there are no more beggars in the county, and almost every family has been settled. Although they can only barely have enough food and clothing, and can't even talk about living and working in peace and contentment, the changes in these short eight months have been earth-shaking. Even Li Hui himself looks back on this
Eight months is still incredible.
Compared with the previous busyness and hard work, Li Hui's life was much smoother. Apart from the occasional worry about rejecting Huan Xu's invitation before, it can be said that the recent period of time has been the most comfortable period that Li Hui has lived.
The autumn air was crisp, which was a good day for traveling. In the morning, Li Hui took Azhu and Dachun Dazhuang to play in the willow forest under the Jiaohu Dam in Nancheng.
After the flood receded, the willow forest under the embankment was lush and lush, and the ground was covered with green grass. The bamboo mats brought by Dachun Dazhuang were spread on the ground, and the melon and fruit snacks brought by Azhu were placed on the table.
The person immediately seemed to be glued to the bamboo mat, and he couldn't stop eating and drinking.
Li Hui ate a few snacks, then carried the small horse and the fishing rod that he had carefully made a few days ago and walked to the reeds by the lake.
With nothing to do, Li Hui wants to regain his interest and become a fisherman. The big white fish in Jiao Lake are very fat, and Zhou Che likes to eat them. If he catches a few, it would be good to invite Zhou Che to have a drink tonight.
.
Speaking of which, Zhou Che was very busy during this period. In addition to daily patrols to maintain public security, he also sought Li Hui's consent to form an elite team to better maintain public security and prepare for unexpected events. He was among the county soldiers and volunteers.
More than a hundred people were selected and trained personally. Although it was autumn, the temperature was still very high during the day and it was very hard.
Li Hui found an open water among the reeds as a fishing spot, threw down the fishing line and fished quietly. Azhu stood aside and watched for a while, wondering why the young master could sit here and stare at the water without moving. He didn't understand this.
