Yuan Shu trembled, looked at He Xiu, gritted his teeth and said, "I...I...I..." Seeing him like this, He Xiu became even more angry. Yuan Shu was so frightened that he almost ran away. Since the last time he came to visit the prince, he had become familiar with Little Fatty and Ma Jun. They also went out to play together on weekdays, and he had never been beaten again.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea. He is Yuan Shu, a man who is upright and upright. He can't be beaten all the time. He wants to beat others! So how can he beat people as casually as the little fat man?
He specifically asked the little fat man, and the little fat man told him.
"My father is the Son of Heaven!"
Well, Yuan Shu can't learn this, so he can only think of another way. The first thing that comes to mind is naturally Master He. He can become a disciple and learn from Gongyang. Isn't that enough? Yuan Shu came to his senses and came to be a disciple of He Xiu. Neither his father nor his clansmen knew anything about it. However, for some reason, He Xiu was unwilling to accept him.
The little fat man saw that Yuan Shu had some intention of retreating, and held He Xiu's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yeah, just accept him... As a Gongyang scholar, how can you watch others go?" Are you going astray?"
He Xiu lowered his head, frowned, and looked at the little fat man. After looking at it for a moment, he suddenly laughed, nodded, looked at Yuan Shu in front of him, and said, "Get ready to repair!"
Yuan Shu, who was originally a little desperate, heard this and danced with excitement. He quickly bowed to He Xiu and said, "Thank you, Master!" He Xiu waved his hand indifferently and said, "When you complete the ceremony of becoming a master, I will wait for you." Call me your teacher!"
Yuan Shu jumped up, said goodbye to the little fat man towards He Xiu, and left in a hurry. He Xiu watched him leave happily, shook his head helplessly, and returned to the study with the little fat man.
At this time, the construction of Wenren Raid in Jizhou had begun. About 100,000 laborers had been transported to Jizhou. Most of these laborers were indigenous people outside Liaodong, including some Fuyu, Goguryeo, Koreans, and Dongyi people. People, these people's speech is similar to that of the Fuyu people who are closest to the big men, and there is no difference in body and appearance. They are gathered together.
First, he taught them how to dig, how to use tools, etc., and then started this huge project. In order to complete it quickly, Wenren attacked from six places to start construction at the same time, and also transported a large amount of grain and grass from Yanzhou and Qingzhou to prepare these projects. The labor force was prepared, and soldiers from counties and counties were always supervising them. Wen Renxi was different from Dong Zhuo, who brutally exploited these laborers.
And when Wen Ren attacked, he became even more cruel. In order to save some money, this guy forcibly changed the original two meals a day to one meal a day. All kinds of atrocities were unbelievable. However, he was ranked among the three nobles in Jizhou. , even the governor did not dare to argue with him, so he could do whatever he wanted. After only two months of hard work, these laborers began to miss the days under Dong Zhuo's tent.
Wang Fu of Yangzhou is constantly expanding the barbarian land in Yangzhou, which is full of swamps, diseases, and ferocious beasts. He led the mountain people to form a group similar to a village, developed these barren lands, and captured ferocious beasts. , the political epidemic showed that the swamp turned large areas of mountain and forest land back into people's farmland, and he did not act as brutally as Wen Renrai did.
For those who have made meritorious deeds, his rewards are also very heavy. Large tracts of farmland, wealthy people, and sufficient household registration. All these make the officials in nearby Jingzhou and Jiaozhou restless. However, they are not like Wang Fu. It is impossible for such governors to make the entire state and county obey their orders. They are not kings. If they do this, the only people who will greet them are the messengers in embroidered clothes.
However, this did not prevent some of them from imitating it. Wang Fu's system was not difficult. They also imitated Wang Fu and turned the barbarians in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou into farmers, and then carried out In addition to the development of mountains and forests, the rapid development of the south was almost entirely due to Wang Fu alone.
At the large dock in Kuaiji County, Wang Fu led a large number of officials to inspect some recently built large ships, while Yangzhou soldiers were practicing on the shore. Seeing all this, the Yangzhou officials were a little frightened, and one person asked in a low voice: "Wang Your Majesty, if such a large-scale recruitment of soldiers is caused by slander, Your Majesty will blame you..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Wang Fu didn't even look at him and asked, "Can this boat sail to Youzhou?"
"If it's Qingzhou, it's definitely possible. If it's going to Youzhou, I'm afraid it's a bit reluctant..."
"Well, continue to recruit craftsmen and train them in large numbers... rely on the mountains to feed the mountains, and rely on the water to feed the water..." Wang Fu said, but in his mind were the elephants paid tribute by the barbarians in the south. He did not want to expand the territory, his The main purpose is to find more solutions for Yangzhou. He is different from others in that he sees far ahead. Yangzhou is currently prosperous because there are enough mountains and forests and the cultivated land can continue to be cultivated.
However, one day, all these cultivated lands will be reclaimed. At that time, what else can people do?
"Continue to expand the surrounding mountains and forests, and send envoys further south to draw maps!"
"As you command!"
.....................
The second meeting between Zhang Jiao and the Emperor was quite harmonious. Unlike the last time, the Emperor actually showed some interest in Zhang Jiao's plan to go to Penglai Island. This made Zhang Jiao extremely excited. The Emperor He also complained to him and said: "The ministers are arrogant and arrogant. If I speak out and seek Penglai Island, I will definitely be opposed by the ministers."
Therefore, the matter could only be handled privately, and Zhang Jiao didn't care about it. The emperor ordered him to go to Youzhou and gave him a copy of the letter, asking him to deliver the letter to Dong Zhuo who was in Youzhou. After discussing these matters , the emperor asked Zhang Jue again about the morality of Taiping Road, and Zhang Jue talked eloquently. The emperor kept him for another three days, and then let him go. Zhang Jue left with his vows.
After that, it was the court meeting.
At this time, it was almost the end of the ninth year of Jianning. This court meeting was also requested by the ministers. The emperor, who was originally planning to rest for a few days, did not have time to rest, so he held the court meeting again.
The ministers went to the palace, and the emperor sat in the upper seat. After paying homage, the court meeting began. As soon as the court meeting began, many ministers stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the center, and looked at the emperor with cautious expressions. The emperor was frightened by the actions of these people. Jump, could something big happen? Why didn't I receive a tip from the embroidered messenger? It seems that I still need to summon Zhang He here again.
"His Majesty!!"
The ministers shouted angrily:
"Please cook the King's Festival Letter!!"
When the emperor heard about it, he felt relieved and thought it was something big.
"What happened to him?" the emperor asked helplessly.
"Your Majesty!! He privately recruited soldiers, trained 10,000 soldiers, and built a hundred warships, but he did not report it. He is planning to rebel!" Yuan Ping beat his chest and said, and the emperor sighed helplessly and said: "He gave I said I wanted to train the navy, not to mention, how can he plot rebellion? Will he use warships to attack Luoyang?"
"Your Majesty!" It was Yuan Feng who spoke out this time. The Emperor was a little confused. Yuan Feng had always been on his side, and he didn't slander Wang Fu too much. What happened today?
"He privately sent envoys to the barbarian lands in the south to survey the terrain, draw maps, and also sent soldiers to plunder these areas!" Yuan Feng said with some fear, sending troops privately, which is a taboo for local officials, not to mention , they didn’t do anything to deliberately cause war. Is this what one party should do?
