Chapter 5 Building an old friend in front of the door (1)
Previously, Gongsun Xun had served as a commander of other departments, a minister, two county magistrates, two prefects, and one Zhonglang general. He had a rich resume.
However, he has never felt as relaxed and happy as this time when he took office as the governor of Hanoi.
It's really very relaxing and without any pretense.
Before the end of the spring plowing next year, as Sima Zhi said, the county mainly has to deal with two things, namely, the eradication of bandits and the resettlement of refugees. And if the principle of employing people first is taken into account, then another conquest must be added.
The prerequisite for having talented people in the county is just three things.
But it was these three things that might have been a huge headache for others, but Gongsun Xun's tenure as the prefect of Hanoi was smoother than the last.
The first is conquest.
On that day, Sima Zhi recommended twelve talents in one go. Except for one Sima Lang and his student Zhao Zi, the rest were all asked by Gongsun Xun to take the initiative to recruit. But starting from Chang Lin, these people actually applied one after another.
Even for the descendants of Zhang Liang, who had no hope at all, the eldest brother Zhang Fan among the three brothers did not come, but his second brother Zhang Cheng came to apply for the county meritorious service... I must say something here, don't underestimate it.
Just like Sima Lang who came to be a follower, Zhang Cheng came to have a great role model even if he did nothing.
In fact, Gongsun Xun knew to some extent that the seven people on the list later all accepted the bus call-up, which was partly because of Xiuwu Zhang's straightforward statement.
With the strong support of local aristocratic families, and the obedience of powerful families such as Han Hao, Hao Meng, and Fang Yue, the next thing will be even more effective with half the effort.
The next thing to be solved first is to resettle the refugees.
To be fair, Gongsun Xun has always been prepared for this kind of issue regarding the land and people's livelihood, but it was solved simply and neatly.
The person who proposed the method was none other than Sima Lang, who had just tied his hair... Of course, Gongsun Xun knew that it was Sima Zhi who really came up with the idea. And this method was shocking to say, it was actually a 'well field system'!
It is estimated that Sima Lang will never forget the way Gongsun Xun looked at him in the lobby of the official temple as if he were a mentally retarded child. But in fact, after careful explanation, Gongsun Xun immediately realized that this was not the real Jingtian system.
, but it is an official village with a high-level exterior like the Jingtian system.
Didn’t some people flee because of the war? Aren’t there refugees who later fled from Jizhou? There are ownerless lands and ownerless people. Then check the land, return it to the government, and then let the government do this.
The powerful landowners directly recruited the refugees, distributed seed farming tools, and carried out resettlement and farming. After the autumn harvest, they calculated their taxes, and the government and the refugees divided the harvest in half to offset the cost of the seed farming tools.
If this isn’t called Guantun, what is it called?
Well-field system? Then let’s use well-field system!
As for the opponents, in the current situation, even if the county government has no money, it needs to 'borrow' seeds and farm tools from local powerful people, and it needs to clean up some of the land and refugees that these powerful people have swallowed up. How many powerful people dare to fight with General Wei?
Squeaky?
In particular, Gongsun Xun, under the banner of suppressing bandits, almost quickly and completely took control of all the top-down forces in the county.
This has nothing to do with the support of those powerful families, it is still Gongsun Xun's own ability... Guan Yu's arrangement in Chaoge and Lian Zhao in Bo County to lock up the heart of Hanoi is not false, but more importantly,
The Hanoi Knights among the Three Rivers Knights were Gongsun Xun’s old troops when he conquered the Yellow Turbans!
How could these talented people in Hanoi forget the invincible and extraordinarily generous General Wei?
The loyalty and obedience of this powerful force that has penetrated into the bones of Hanoi, coupled with the five hundred white horses, who in Hanoi is crazy and insists on going against the governor Gongsun? Or simply, at the beginning, when
Han Hao, Hao Meng, and Fang Yue honestly accepted Gongsun Xun's recruitment with their own private armies. After becoming his imperial subordinates, the security of Hanoi was destined to not be a problem.
The current situation is that Lu Fan led Han Xuan, Yang Jun, Wang Xiang, and Zhao Zi to form a veritable central team of the shogunate, which actually directly connected with the county government and acted on behalf of the general affairs of the county; while Wang Xiu led Chang Lin, Zao Zao
Only, a team was organized to patrol outside to deal with the affairs of the official villages...or minefields; then Han Dang was also sent out, leading Han Hao, Hao Meng, Fang Yue, combined with the returning Hanoi knights, in an orderly manner
In line with Wang Xiu's pace, we are carrying out the security activities of "guaranteeing spring plowing and suppressing bandits for 100 days"!
Of course, according to Gongsun Xun's arrangement, after the New Year is over and the spring plowing is ensured, they will eventually cross Bo County and Chaoge and head to the Taihang Mountains in the north to seriously suppress bandits - before the Yellow Turbans were defeated, there were indeed a large number of bandits.
They have spread to the Taihang Mountains. This is an undeniable fact, and we really can’t control them for the time being.
However, that was the end of the New Year. At this moment, everything was going well. Gongsun Xun basically just listened to the progress report once a day, cleaned up the prison, and played cards with idlers like Lou Gui and Xi Zhong.
Then collect a letter from the old department in a distant place, etc. Then, I look forward to all my wives and concubines coming here to reunite... You know, not only Zhao Yun and others who will be arriving in the near future, but also
The Bian family of Liaodong!
I received another formal letter from Aunt Gongsun before, saying that since her son has become successful now, and there is a rare window of opportunity, I think it is not impossible to save my wife and children, so I want to let Mrs. Bian take her eldest granddaughter A
Li, and Qin Luofu's young granddaughter A Zhen, went to Hanoi together to get close to their father.
Gongsun Xun had been looking forward to this for so long that he was a little distracted when he held Feng Zhi, Shou Mao and his young son at night... For a father, are a daughter and a son the same thing?
At the beginning of November, on this afternoon, snowflakes started to fall outside again. After Gongsun Xun ordered someone to send condolences to Wang Xiu and others who were working hard outside, he simply returned to the backyard of the official temple and called Lou Gui, Xi Zhong
, plus Sima Lang, who was following behind him all day long, played the animal card directly on the hot kang that had just been repaired and turned on.
After a few rounds, he directly expelled Sima Lang, saying that he asked him to find Lu Fan to find out the briefing from the county government today, and then mentioned some trivial matters to his two confidants that were not easy to talk about in public.
"Yesterday, there was a letter from Shen Zhengnan." Seeing Sima Lang go out, Gongsun Xun threw out a card and said casually. "But yesterday I went to comfort the three elders in the city, send them greetings, and was busy for a long time.
Forgot to tell you."
"Didn't Lieutenant Shen (a captain is called lieutenant in junior high school, which means the same thing) have received a letter before when he took office?" Xi Zhong suddenly realized. "It has only been a few days, and a letter suddenly came? But what happened?"
"Two things." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said with a smile. "One is the matter of our Zuoqi General Huangfu Gong. It is said that since this Jizhou shepherd gave away the money and grain of Jizhou for a year, the people of Jizhou were happy and expressed their gratitude to their state shepherd.
I’m so grateful that I’ve even come out with nursery rhymes in just a few days.”
Xi Zhong and Lou Gui looked at each other, each sneered and said nothing.
"It is said that 'the world is in chaos, the market is in ruins, the mother cannot protect her son, the wife has lost her husband, and the emperor has to rely on him to live in peace'... What do you think?" Gongsun Xunfu asked again.
"What can we do?" Lou Gui threw out a few cards and said bluntly. "Nine times out of ten, this kind of nursery rhyme was deliberately made up by someone, and it is so convoluted. Could it be that some scholar wants to make Jizhou Maocai next year?
You did it because you were crazy, right? The same goes for General Zuo Cheqi. It is indeed a great merit to be free of money and food, but why do you need to go to such an extent to seek fame?"
"No, no." Xi Zhong immediately refuted it loudly. "In terms of military planning before the battle, I am not as good as Zibo, but when it comes to people's power, Zibo is not as good as me... You must know that at Huangfu Song's age
, the official position and title have reached this point, if he does not rebel, he is just seeking fame... Therefore, although this kind of thing seems to us to be more costly than gain, it is exactly what Huangfu Yizhen wants in his heart. He secretly allowed it and even contributed to it.
, which is also an ordinary gesture.”
Lou Gui thought for a moment, then simply nodded and admitted.
"Zhicai said it thoroughly." Gongsun Xun continued. "Then Shen Zhengnan also mentioned a personnel matter in his letter - Qinghe Prime Minister Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an were recalled to the court."
This time, Lou Gui took the initiative to look at Xi Zhong.
Xi Zhong immediately frowned slightly: "Before Qinghe, the whole territory fell, and all the princes were captured. The imperial court asked Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an to go to Qinghe as the prime minister. This was because he had served as the prime minister of Qinghe before and wanted to use his reputation in Qinghe.
To appease the place, in this case, he should at least go through the spring plowing... But today, not to mention the spring plowing, it has only been a month of winter in the capital. What did the imperial court think, so it wanted to recall him? "
"I was a little confused at first." Gongsun Xun put down the cards in his hand and said frankly. "But just this afternoon, my brother Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue, who had just arrived in Luozhong, jointly sent a brief letter. After I read the letter
Only then can I make some guesses..."
Lou Gui and Xi Zhong also put down the animal cards in their hands and became serious.
"The letter only mentioned two personnel matters." Gongsun Xun said seriously. "One is that Guo Xunguo was transferred as the governor of Pingyuan, and then Danyang Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu succeeded him as the governor of Youzhou... That's fine. The other personnel matters
, but it is said that Prince Shi Wang Yun, the governor of Yuzhou, has been arrested again."
Lou Gui immediately shook his head: "Just a few days after the amnesty, he was imprisoned again. It seems that Zhang Rang has made up his mind to deal with Wang Zishi."
"That's right." Gongsun Xun nodded and replied. "After being arrested this time, everyone in Luozhong felt that he was going to suffer. It was said that there was a rumor before he was imprisoned, so Yang Gong hurriedly sent his close disciples to Yuzhou to meet with Wang Zishi and persuade him.
He temporarily bowed his head to Zhang Rang, otherwise he might really be unable to survive. And it's not just Yang Gong..." Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed when he said this. "The subordinates of the prince's division also felt that their superiors were going to be humiliated by Zhang Rang in prison.
, or simply tortured to death, he actually prepared poisoned wine in advance before the prince's division was arrested, and served it directly when the carriage arrived."
Lou Gui and the actor who had been silent for a while looked at each other in confusion.
"Then Prince Master's reaction made me take a particularly high look. From today on, we can no longer regard him as a naive and ridiculous person..." After saying this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed. "He will poison the wine."
He threw it on the ground and directly replied to his subordinates, saying that he would neither bow to Zhang Rang nor ask for death easily for the so-called honor. If the emperor had a clear edict for him to die, then he would be escorted to the execution ground and the punishment would be official.
, as a minister of the Han Dynasty, he has absolutely nothing to say. And if there is no edict, he will suffer all the humiliation, but he still has to concentrate on his ambition for the future!"
"People are tempered by these things!" Lou Gui sighed. "As the prince said, if this prince master can really survive this, we can no longer underestimate him!"
"I understand!" At this moment, Xi Zhong suddenly slapped the small case on the kang and said something shocking. "Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an returned to Luo this time, and they must take over the post of Liu Tao and Liu Ziqi as ministers and take charge of the minister's desk.
!”
"I think so too." Gongsun Xun immediately smiled and nodded. "Zhicai does have a different perspective on the so-called magic power."
Lou Gui shook his head for a moment, he was indeed not good at this field... However, since Xi Zhong had said it all, with Lou Zibo's intelligence, he would not still be confused:
"Zhicai wanted to say that the prince's division was imprisoned, which means that this dispute between the eunuchs and the eunuchs caused by the Yellow Turbans ended up being a victory for the eunuchs in the court? And the minister ordered Liu Tao and Liu Gong to be the opponents of this time.
Is it inevitable that a leading scholar will also lose power?"
"Not bad." The actor responded immediately.
"But why did Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an come to replace Liu Tao and Liu Ziqi?" Lou Gui still had something he couldn't figure out.
"Because their surname is Liu." Xi Zhicai replied with a sneer. "Our emperor is very smart! In his eyes, only clan members, eunuchs, and relatives can be trusted. As for why it is Liu Yu, I think it is
Because compared to another important member of the clan, Liu Yan and Liu Junlang, who are closely related to the party members, Liu Boan usually seems much more docile, right?"
"I see." Lou Gui was stunned at first, but then shook his head. "However, Liu Tao's party members are at odds with the eunuchs, and Liu Yan is also on good terms with the party members, so will Liu Yu be obedient?"
"How can you be obedient?" Gongsun Xun finally spoke up again. "What about the clan? If the clan dares to hesitate on this issue, it will be a shameful eunuch! No one in the world can tolerate him! Liu Yan,
He is cunning and shameless, and very good at hiding himself. I am afraid that he deliberately avoided the hot potato of Shangshu Ling, and Liu Yu is afraid that becoming a Shangshu Ling this time in Luo will just sit on the fire and roast..."
"That……"
"It's as I expected. I'm afraid if Liu Bo'an spends a few months, the central government will return to the situation of the previous few years, and he will be an eunuch and receive the minister's order!" Gongsun Xun's words left the two confidants speechless.
.
"How many days have it taken?" Lou Gui just sneered after a long while. "The Holy Emperor is about to return to his old ways."
"What do you want me to do?" Xi Zhicai said in a low voice, "Let's just play cards."
The three of them were immediately speechless. They just picked up the cards again. They probably had an argument about who should play the cards before, and then ignored them... After all, it seems that the Luoyang government was not ready to burn the fire across the Yellow River.
Burn Liu Yu's butt, then burn Huangfu Song's butt... we'll talk about it later.
However, not long after, Sima Langfu, who had been sent out, came back, bowed in front of the door, and then reported something to Gongsun Xun: "Junjun, I just came back from Lu Changshi, and I happened to meet someone on the road.
When it was announced, the officials said that a guest suddenly came outside the official temple, holding minister Wen Dianjun (Gongsun Fan), Huangmen Shilang Wenchaojun (Gongsun Yue), and the three famous assassins of the General's Mansion.
, claiming that he was visited by an old friend from Luozhong in the past!"
Gongsun Xun and his two confidants looked at each other, but they didn't care much, because they just thought it was someone from Luozhong who asked Gongsun Xun to rescue Wang Yun's prince's division. Of course, they didn't dare to neglect it, and the three of them immediately threw down the wood.
After receiving the sign, he quickly got up and hurried out to greet him.
However, Gongsun Xun stepped on wooden clogs and led a few people out of the door in a hurry. He saw three people each holding a horse in front of the official temple gate, wearing bamboo hats on their heads, standing in front of the official temple in the wind and snow... This
His behavior doesn't look like that of the nobles in Luozhong, which directly makes people suspicious.
However, when the leader heard the commotion, he turned around and found that he was actually an old friend of Luozhong whom Gongsun Xun had never expected.
"Han Sui of Jincheng, Liangzhou Prefecture, has met General Wei!" The man took off his bamboo hat, held the reins in front of the official temple and bowed to salute. When he raised his head, he revealed an extremely tired face. "It's been a while.
Ten years are still wasted, but the general has become famous throughout the country. However, the situation in the world is still unclear. I wonder if the general is willing to listen to the sincere words of an old friend again? "
————I am the dividing line between returning to old ways————
"Yun... was pardoned and returned to the governor. Ten days later, he was arrested again for other crimes. Situ Yang bestowed Yun Su Gao, but he did not want to cause more humiliation to Chu, so he sent a guest to thank him and said: 'You have given me permission to do so.'
It happened, so we marched again in one month. The evil was difficult to measure, but fortunately it was a deep plan." And all the people who were engaged in the good qi method came in with tears in their eyes and took the medicine. Yun said sternly: "I am a minister, and I have committed a crime against you. I should do it.
Fu Dapi is here to thank the world, how can there be any medicine to pray for death! If you die, you will die, if you live, just watch. 'He threw the cup and got up, and stepped out of the carriage." - "Xin Yan Shu", Volume 62.
