People from the left often have to work harder if they want to get ahead.
In particular, Wei's nine-rank official system has been implemented for many years.
However, Shi Bao never expected that he would finally get a chance to enter the high school, but he would be kicked out in a daze.
Is it because I don’t care about my words?
Or is it because I don’t have a clear understanding of the current situation, so I am regarded as a boaster?
He returned to the market filled with melancholy and doubting himself.
When he was young, the Xiahou Xuanmen who recommended him rushed over, partly to apologize for the humiliation he had suffered due to their good intentions, and partly because they were about to follow Xiahou Xuan back to Luoyang and came to say goodbye to him.
Shi Bao finally knew the reason for Xia Houxuan's expulsion from his guests with a few words of confidentiality.
When he talked about the current situation, he praised the military ability of Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, especially his measures such as wide-opening ditches and self-sufficient farming.
Although the matter was discussed on a case-by-case basis, it also offended Xia Houxuan's objections.
This reason made him laugh and cry.
He really didn't know that Sima Yi and Xia Houxuan had conflicts.
However, it’s okay not to know.
He felt that being as famous as Xiahou Taichu was nothing more than that!
Seeing the man's back hurriedly leaving, Shi Bao comforted himself.
Yes! He suddenly felt that it was a blessing not to join the Xiahou Xuanmen.
Because some people see it clearly and take it lightly.
No matter whether he is a well-known person in the capital or a high-ranking official.
Scholars should practice diligently.
Regardless of the conflicts between Xia Houxuan and Sima Yi, Xia Houxuan cannot deny that he is inferior to Sima Yi in terms of talent and work scheduling.
In this case, why not learn from others' strengths and benefit from your own weaknesses?
Mount Tai does not allow soil, so it can grow as big as it does; rivers and seas do not accept small streams, so they can grow as deep as possible.
Hearing the merits of others, but instead of making progress, he becomes angry at others. How can such a person be worthy of entrusting his life to others?
Shi Bao calmed down and continued to wait for the opportunity to come.
While I was bored, I was also wondering in my mind whether I should compromise with reality.
Yes, he has another option.
He had met Deng Ai when he was a minor official in Jizhou.
However, Deng Ai, who also came from a poor family, had much better circumstances than him. Not only was he appreciated by Sima Yi, but he was also brought from Jingzhou to Guanzhong and promoted to a school captain, treating him like a confidant.
When Shi Baofu arrived in Guanzhong, he also had the idea of seeking Deng Ai's recommendation.
But then I thought about it and gave up.
First, his friendship with Deng Ai was only meager.
If he suddenly goes to ask for someone he hasn't seen for many years, Deng Ai may not be able to do his best to find a future for him.
Secondly, Deng Ai's current position is no more than that of a school captain, and he is still a low-key person. Asking him to recommend him may not necessarily lead to Sima Yi's summons.
For example, Shi Bao had previously met Xu Yun, Cao Lang, who was selected by the ministers, and had asked for his recommendation to get a county position. However, Xu Yun, who admired his talents very much, was unable to do anything.
Furthermore, Deng Ai was proud of himself and obsessed with fame, and was never liked by his colleagues in Yongliang.
Even if you succeed in entering an official career after being recommended by him, you may still be tabooed by others, making it difficult for you to move forward in the future.
Due to many concerns, it was not possible.
But now after being rejected by Xia Houxuan, Shi Bao had thoughts in his heart again.
Without him, he had wasted too many years from being a "Sima for Farmers" in the countryside to working in the fields in Yecheng and now entering Guanzhong at the age of two. He no longer wanted to be famous and be appreciated by nobles.
Simply go to the south of Helan Mountain to see Deng Ai and see if there is an opportunity.
Whether it is successful or not, there is no longer any thought.
After hesitating for several days, Shi Bao finally made up his mind and was about to resign from his position as a junior official and put it into action, but he encountered another turning point.
At this time, Sima Yi returned to Chang'an to dispatch Yongliang soldiers and horses to Jingzhou, and asked Yongzhou governor Guanqiu Jian to supervise the field officials and the people to first transfer the grain and baggage to Jingzhou.
At this time, the chief manager would not accept Shi Bao's resignation.
Even if he wants to give his approval, he still has to wait until the food and baggage are transferred.
Shi Bao, whose duty was unavoidable, could only urge Li Shu to go south to Wuguan in accordance with the law.
The laws of Wei are strict and those who fail to meet the deadline will be killed.
Therefore, Shi Bao, who had been working hard all the way, saw the faces of Li Shu filled with sorrow during the day; at night, he heard them singing the poem "Bustard Yu" from the pre-Qin period: The bustard wings are solemn, gathered on the thorns. King's affairs If you can't grow millet or millet, how can your parents eat? The sky has its limit
There are complaints, that's all.
Among them, the Li Shu people who migrated from Jizhou were the most miserable.
At that time, the Luoyang Temple decided to establish Jizhou in Guanzhong, and many benefits such as land granting through registration and tax exemptions for joining the army attracted many poor tenant farmers who had no place to establish themselves. However, after they came to Guanzhong, they found that their livelihoods were actually better than those in Jizhou. miserable.
When they were in Jizhou, they could still survive by relying on aristocratic wealthy families.
However, in Guanzhong, where wars were frequent, most of the acres granted were classified as civilian villages. The amount of grain transferred to the government's granary after the autumn harvest every year was no less than what was paid per acres.
And the corvées were too frequent!
For example, in this battle, from the end of winter last year to the harvest this year, the government never stopped collecting and sending grain and baggage to the common people!
Finally, Bashu dismissed their troops and returned, but they had to transfer to Jingzhou again.
Alas~~
The long sky has its ultimate limit.
The most tragic thing is that the Luoyang Temple used Guanzhong Sanfu as the war zone, and promised to Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, to control it with military discipline when necessary!
It’s that kind of strict law that prohibits the execution of orders and violators will be killed, but it is actually used on herdsmen!
In fact, the common people knew that Luoyang granted Sima Yi the right to act expediently based on the previous experience of Cao Zhen's troops returning from Guanzhong when they were out of Longyou due to a lack of food due to civil unrest in Guanzhong.
But knowing it doesn’t mean it’s sweet.
How can they live and work in peace and contentment under the fear of being criticized at every turn?
Shi Bao, who came from a humble background, was very angry at the common people and did not dare to speak out.
Therefore, when "The Bustard Yu" was sung in the mouths of the villagers in Jizhou, and when sadness filled the night and made the stars disappear sadly, he felt very sad in his heart.
Children from poor families have no way to seek official positions; common people in Li are full of complaints.
Is it really destiny for Cao Wei to replace Han Dynasty?
If I continue to wait calmly for opportunities, will I really come to the day when I can put my talents and knowledge to use?
Tossing and turning without sleep, he quietly asked himself.
But the dark night didn't give him an answer. Only the insects that didn't know the joys and sorrows of the world were chirping happily, and the water flowing day and night was melodious.
Well, the water at the northern exit of Ziwu Valley.
Coincidentally, the Li Shu people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou also complained.
From Wei Wen and Cao Pi's three expeditions to the east of the Yangtze River, to the present day when the bandit Wu frequently invades, Huainan, which has been fighting almost all year round, has made them unbearable in the labor force. Moreover, this time the bandit Wu broke through Hefei Xincheng, surrounded Shouchun, and the war spread to Huainan. North of the water, they were even more anxious.
Can the emperor defeat the enemy as soon as possible if he personally conquers it?
Li Shu, who was transporting grain and baggage, looked at the banners that stretched for dozens of miles and had no answer in his heart.
