Han Dao world

Today's Bohai County is different from ordinary counties and states. A large number of people have moved out, and a large number of gentry have moved in. Today, the majority of the population in Bohai is not Bohai people, but foreigners, especially the four prefectures of Yanyu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.Therefore, it is no longer possible to follow the old system of appointing locals as meritorious officials, chief bookkeepers, and chief clerks. Regional restrictions should be discarded and admissions should be based on merit.

What is the biggest advantage of Bohai today?It is not land, nor property, but talents.

Scholars and bureaucrats from all over the world gathered in Bohai, so that Bohai has a large number of talents available.In line with the principle of emphasizing talents and using abilities, the selection of high officials should not be limited to the county of Bohai.Local people familiar with the situation should be given priority only when the officials are at the level of official affairs, and when they are dealing with specific affairs.

Before Zhong Yao finished speaking, Han Xuan sneered, "Mr. Zhong's words made me sigh like deja vu."

Zhong Yao said unhurriedly: "I also ask Gongcao for advice."

Han Xuan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "In the sixth year of Zhongping, Yuan Benchu ​​went eastward to Bohai, and was later appointed by Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Bohai. The accompanying monarchs were also full of talents, including Ruying, and the grand occasion was no less than today."

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhong Yao, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that after the battle of Yecheng, these Ruying talents fell in love with the court and became officials one after another. Only a few of them came to Bohai Sea. In this regard, I am still very disappointed." Those who admire Zhong Jun know what is impossible and do it."

Zhong Yao was a little embarrassed.

He could understand Han Xuan's ridicule.

When Yuan Shao ran eastward, he did not follow Yuan Shao.Now that Yuan Shao was defeated, he came to Bohai, but intentionally or unintentionally copying Yuan Shao's approach, trying to let the foreign manpower overwhelm the locals in Bohai, which is somewhat overreaching.

That's what Han Xuan meant when he said that he "does what he knows can't be done".

"Why should a meritorious Cao be cowardly before fighting?" Zhong Yao said solemnly: "With the permission of the emperor, to conduct a virtuous government in the Bohai Sea, the four sides are all talented, so how can you be a talented man in Ruying? The meritorious Cao Mengfu is highly valued, and it is time to devote all his efforts Helping each other, why do you come up with the words of the Jujun?"

Han Xuan sneered and said: "Xuan Bucai, he used to fight in battle, and he knew a little about the reason why he was invincible first, and then victorious. I asked myself that I have little knowledge, and I dare not sit with a group of sages. I also ask the lord to choose another wise man, so as not to be mistaken." The great cause of Confucianism."

He said, stood up, and flicked his sleeves. "After Xuzhou's defeat, I have already felt ashamed of General Yuan, and I can no longer disappoint Mr. Zhang Fu. I will leave."

After speaking, he bowed his hands to Zhang Zhao and left the hall.

Xun Chen smiled wryly, and while winking at Zhong Yao, he got up and went after Han Xuan.

Zhang Zhao was also a little helpless.

It was a good thing that Zhong Yao came.Although there are many people who come to Bohai, there are few people with actual governance experience. People like Zhong Yao who have been in charge of a county for several years and who have practical experience are willing to live in a county are his rare helpers.

But he never expected that Zhong Yao would be so aggressive that he would fight Han Xuan before the seat was warmed up.

Seeing the faces of the chief bookkeeper and chief secretary made him scratch his head.

"What Mr. Zhong said is indeed reasonable, but the situation in Bohai Sea is complicated, and it may be difficult to implement it immediately. How about choosing a county to try it out first?"

Hurry up and take office, don't cause trouble in the county government.

Zhong Yao didn't refuse. "Since Yao is here, it's all up to the Lord's orders."

Zhang Zhao looked at Guo Jian, the chief bookkeeper beside him.

Guo Jian pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhong used to be the Taidang of the Shangdang Party. He has outstanding achievements in his political affairs. He can be a high-ranking official and govern the drama county. Yangxin is near the sea, and pirates often appear and invade the interior. Why don't you ask Mr. Zhong to be the leader of Yangxin?" Commander, to govern the people and reject bandits, to keep one side peaceful?"

Zhong Yao didn't refuse either. "Can."

Guo Jian exchanged glances with Yuan Wu, the reporter at the side, and smiled knowingly.

Zhang Zhao saw it and didn't stop him.

Although Guo Jian intentionally made things difficult for Zhong Yao, the reason was justified.Yangxin really needs a capable county magistrate, otherwise pirates may come to rob at any time, and other counties will not be able to develop.

Zhong Yao has the ability and prestige, maybe he can bring more Ruying people to Yangxin to enrich the local household registration.

Because of the cancellation of the Dutian Order, most of the local people in Yangxin moved to the adjacent Pingyuan County, and now they are empty.

Chapter 963 Self-knowledge

Xun Chen caught up with Han Xuan and talked about it, which made Han Xuan calm down and agreed to continue to serve as a meritorious officer.

He didn't think that Han Xuan was capable of doing the job, but he was worried that Zhong Yao's first arrival would force Han Xuan to save himself, making people think that Ruying people bullied the locals because of their large numbers and power.

After all, Zhong Yao came to be the county magistrate, not the prefect.

When he returned to the banquet, he realized that Zhong Yao had agreed to be Yang Xinchang.

That night, he lived with Zhong Yao, couldn't help complaining a few words, and told Zhong Yao the actual situation of Yang Xin.

Zhong Yao was very determined.

He told Xun Chen, the so-called great chaos leads to great order, and it doesn't matter if Yangxin has fewer household registrations, just bring more people there.If not, you can still recruit pirates.

Pirates make a living by plundering and live in no fixed place. Do you think they live comfortably?If given the opportunity to settle ashore, they would not refuse it.

I have done this kind of thing in Shangdang, it is very easy.

Why did the Black Mountain Army turn against me later?It is precisely because there are too many great clans in Shangdang that there is not much free land.Now that Yangxin's people are fleeing abroad, it happens to be used to recruit pirates.

With nothing, sometimes you can let go of your hands and feet and show your grand plans.

Just look at it, four years later, Yangxin's political performance will be even better than that of Nanpi, the county government.

Xun Chen was skeptical, but the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to change it, so Zhong Yao can only do it.

He only made one suggestion, when Xu Shao came, let him go to Yangxin instead of staying in Nanpi.Not only that, but he also wants to contact Ruying people as much as possible, take them to Yangxin, support Zhong Yao, and at the same time, strive to turn Yangxin into the Yangxin of Ruying people.

Don't those people think that Ruying people have a false name?Then let's show them and let them know that there is a reason why Ruying people are famous all over the world, and it's not just as simple as praising each other.

Zhong Yao patted Xun Chen's shoulder and laughed.

"You Ruo, this is what a party member should look like."

-

Jiedu Pavilion.

Liu Xie stood in front of the tomb of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong, feeling a little sad.

He has no impression of his grandfather Liu Chang, but he is very attached to his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong. Even though his soul is different, he can still feel the deep-rooted affection.

Perhaps the real Liu Xie never went far away, but just hid in the depths.Standing in front of the grave of the grandmother who raised him at this moment, it came out of his subconscious mind.

Empress Dowager Dong died during He Jin's reign and was buried in Hejian.Because Emperor Xiaoling was dead at that time, no one took her seriously and buried her poorly.The tomb in front of me knew that it had been newly repaired at a glance. It should be that the local officials knew that the emperor was going to visit the north, and there was a high probability that he would come to pay homage, so he rushed to work and repaired it hastily.

The imperial mausoleum should not be moved lightly, and local officials can only do limited work, at best weeding, road repairing and the like.

Liu Xie didn't say anything.

In all fairness, the relationship between "he" and Empress Dowager Dong is just a personal one.

Empress Dowager Dong is not a qualified empress dowager, not even a qualified mother, and she did not shoulder her due educational responsibilities.Emperor Xiaoling was fooled by the eunuch Cao Jie and others, which had a lot to do with the lack of education of Empress Dowager Dong.

As a time traveler and a hero with a heavy army in hand, he looks at it relatively objectively and doesn't need to worry too much.

Compared with him, the right general Dong Cheng was obviously more emotional, he was called up, and he was sobbing.

But Liu Xie's heart is also clear, Dong Cheng is not really emotional, but just wants to remind him that he is his close relative in this world, and he should treat his daughter Dong Wan better.

This matter is really unfair.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take care of Dong Wan, it was that Dong Wan had too much fun in Chang'an and didn't want to come here.

Dong Wan once dreamed of becoming a female general, but when she met Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan, she realized that she had limited talent and could not become a real female general, so she gave up and was content to open a bookstore and do business with Song Du.

Practicing martial arts is very hard, she can't bear that hardship, and prefers to lie down and count money.

"General Zuo, help me persuade General Right." Liu Xie said, winking at Ma Yunlu. "Let's go to other places to see and pay respects to other ancestors."

Ma Yunlu nodded with a smile, and obediently followed Liu Xie forward.

Yang Feng walked to Dong Cheng's side and looked at Dong Cheng with a smile. "Have you cried enough?"

Dong Cheng flicked his sleeves. "Mind your own business."

"How can this be an idle matter?" Yang Feng said solemnly: "If you want me to say, I really can't blame the emperor for this matter. It's because Dong Guiren didn't want to come and do it. Let alone now, I heard that the emperor was still there. When he was in Chang'an, Dong Guiren was not very willing to go back to the palace, and often stayed in the book."

Dong Cheng sucked his teeth, feeling a little helpless.

He actually knew all these things, and he even wrote to Dong Wan, asking Dong Wan to get closer to the emperor and not to stay in the bookstore all the time.

But Dong Wan didn't listen.

Thinking of this, he somewhat blamed his aunt, Empress Dowager Dong.

It's just that Empress Dowager Dong is too fond of money, and under her influence, Dong Wan is too concerned about money.A dignified nobleman, he didn't want to give birth to a prince for the emperor, but only wanted to do business to make money, so he went in the wrong direction completely.

It's not like Ma Yunlu, who follows the emperor every day and never leaves.

Ma Teng followed suit and became Guang Luxun.

If Ma Yunlu gave birth to a prince, wouldn't Ma Teng be a Taiwei?

"I said, old Dong, when are you going to retire?"

"To be an official?" Dong Cheng was taken aback, and then gave Yang Feng a hard look. "I'm not yet fifty, why should I retire?"

"Although you are not yet fifty, you will be over fifty when the Son of Heaven marches west. Will your body be able to withstand the hardships of the army? Rather than being ridiculed by young people at that time, it is better Request to become an official early, maybe the emperor can reward you with a idle job and make you a rich man."

Dong Cheng rolled his eyes, thinking it made sense.

The emperor is still young and ambitious, and he doesn't want to stay in the capital. There is a great possibility of going west in the future.But he is old and can't bear that hardship. Instead of reluctantly following the emperor, it is better to change a job early and become a rich man.

Now he is tired of hunting Jizhou with the Son of Heaven.

But he needn't worry.

Jizhou has just been pacified, and Yizhou has not yet formally surrendered. The Western Expedition is at least five years away, and may even be ten years away.

"When are you going to retire, let's go together." Dong Cheng retorted. "You're not a few years younger than me."

"I also want to go west with the Son of Heaven, add a few hundred more households, and take a few stunning orchids from the Western Regions by the way." Yang Feng laughed and said, "Although we are not a few years apart, I haven't seen any of them in the past few years." I'm idle, practicing martial arts every day. You look at my body, and then look at your stomach, can it be the same thing? If you don't accept it, let's get on a horse and compete to see how long you can last."

Dong Cheng looked at his bulging stomach, and was a little uneasy while becoming angry from embarrassment.

Among the four generals, Duan Yan and Yang Ding were from Liangzhou, they were naturally warlike and had a good physique.Judging by their spirit, it shouldn't be a problem to fight for another ten or twenty years.Yang Feng is the youngest and has good martial arts skills. It should not be a problem to follow the emperor to the west.It's just me, I'm old, and my martial arts are not good enough. If I really want to follow the emperor to the west, it will be a hindrance.

Instead of this, it is better to request to become an official early, in exchange for the opportunity for the nephews to become an official.

Ever since his elder brother Dong Zhong was executed by He Jin, his son has never been an official.He has long wanted to ask the emperor to show mercy, but he has never done any meritorious service, and he has no face to speak.If it is a condition to become an official, it may be possible to obtain the consent of the emperor.

Chapter 964 Ambition

Liu Xie boarded the side slope.

Ma Yunlu followed closely behind, walking vigorously, standing quietly beside Liu Xie.

Liu Xie looked at the undulating Yanshan Mountain in the distance, lost his mind for a moment, then turned to Ma Yunlu and said, "Look, that is Yanshan Mountain."

Ma Yunlu blinked and looked at Liu Xie without speaking.

"After Yanshan Mountain, there is a grassland. Thousands of miles from east to west, a flat river. At this moment, Xun You is heading east, Jiang Gan is heading west, and Zhou Yu is looking for the big river in the north of the desert. Once successful, my Han Navy can go back to the water. Up, straight to the depths of the grassland."

Ma Yunlu instantly understood what Liu Xie meant, and his face flushed slightly.

She lowered her head and looked at her slightly raised belly.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Wuji climbed Changshan Mountain and overlooked Zhongshan. People think it is far away. But compared with Your Majesty, he is like a fish's eye, not worth mentioning." Zhen Mi followed, panting. "You seem to know that Zhou Yu will succeed?"

Liu Xie turned his head to look at Zhen Mi's charming face, and couldn't help but smile.

The Master once said that if you are close, you are not inferior, which can be described as a wise saying.

This time Zhen Mi accompanied him, and often met with him, and gradually became familiar with each other, and her attitude became a little more flamboyant, and she was no longer so reserved.

Or to put it another way, to be proud of being favored.

But I have to say, her methods are brilliant.Born in Dajia, she has practiced in the bookstore for a few years, and now she can be said to be good at dancing with long sleeves and exquisite skills.The people around him had a good impression of her, and Ma Yunlu, a straight man, praised her every now and then, and took her by his side as a best friend, completely unaware of how much she was thinking.

Maybe Ma Yunlu knew, but she didn't care.

After all, for people of this era, it is obviously impossible for an emperor, especially a young hero like him, to have only a few of them by his side, and it doesn't matter if there is one more Zhen Mi.

But he knew what Zhen Mi was thinking.

He doesn't reject Zhen Mi either - who would reject a beautiful and smart girl, otherwise he wouldn't let Zhen Mi control Jizhou Yinfang, but he doesn't want to be seen through by Zhen Mi, and he wants to keep it as mysterious as possible.

In front of a fine person like Zhen Mi, being seen through by her means that she has no value.

She only looks up to the strong, not the weak.

"The beauty of application is to focus on one's heart, not eyes." Liu Xie raised his hand, stretched out two fingers, pointed to his own eyes, and then pointed to Zhen Mi's radiant eyes. "Mountains and rivers are in the eyes and in the heart, so that you can see that mountains are not mountains, and water is not water. Zhao Wuji is only different from me in distance, and there is no level of realm. Moreover, I can stand here today and imagine the north of the desert. , but also standing on the shoulders of Zhao Wuxie and all the former sages."

He paused, and then said: "You think Zhao Wuxie is Yumu, it's because you underestimated him, it's not because he's not good enough."

Zhen Mi was a little embarrassed.

Liu Xie's words are tantamount to saying that she is a fish eye, she doesn't understand herself, and she still talks about the ancients.

After getting along for so long, this is the first time Liu Xie has said such serious words.
