Section 13 Diversification

"Mr. doesn't need to be polite, I'm an auditor today, and I ask Mr. to continue teaching."

After Cai Ji finished speaking, he held his stomach up, and with Cai Yan's support, he also sat on the side of the pulpit like an ordinary student, listening to Tian Feng's lecture attentively. Seeing this, Tian Feng was not hypocritical, and immediately returned to the pulpit to continue the lecture along with the classic quotations quoted by Cai Ji earlier.

"The prosperity of government is in accordance with the will of the people; The abolition of politics is against the will of the people, from "Pipe. Herdsmen. What is the heart of the people? There is a way that the people have four evils, sorrow, poverty, danger, and extinction; The people have four desires, happiness, wealth, security, and fertility. The people are sad and worried, and I am happy. The people are evil and poor, but I am rich. The people are in danger, and I am safe. The evil of the people is extinct, and I give birth to it. If you can enjoy it, the people will worry about it. If you can be rich, the people will be poor. If it can be safe, the people will be in danger. If they are able to give birth, the people will be extinct. Therefore the punishment is not enough to fear his will, and the killing is not enough to obey his heart. Therefore, if the punishment is complicated and there is no fear, the order will not be carried out. If you kill the crowd and are not convinced, you will be in danger. Therefore, from its four desires, those who are far away are self-professed; If you do the four evils, you will rebel against those who are near, so you know that you are the one who takes it, and the treasure of the government is also. ”

Tian Feng's last sentence "Those who know it are the ones who take it, and the treasure of politics is also" is the essence of Guan Zhongcong's political state. Because whether it is for the princes and kings of a thousand years ago or for the business managers of two thousand years later, knowing how to give is the truth of acquisition, which is the magic weapon of political management. However, for the students present who have not yet been involved in the world, the concept of "knowing is the one who takes it" is still too abstract. Therefore, Tian Feng listed some policies of Qi State as proof.

In this way, the class time was greatly lengthened, and it was noon when Tian Feng finished speaking. However, Tian Feng's lectures took up the meal. But everyone didn't realize it at all. Even though Tian Feng has announced the end of class, there are still students who stay to ask him about teaching. Among them, the question raised by Sima Fu is particularly pertinent, and it is full of many policies implemented by Cao Cao in Wei State. Cai Ji observed from the side for a moment, and couldn't help but become interested in this strange young man in blue. So he sent for questioning.

However, to Cai Ji's surprise, the other party reported himself to the door without humility or arrogance. "Hanoi Sima Fu has seen Junshang."

Hanoi Sima Fu? Isn't that Sima Yi's brother Sima Shuda? Thinking of the performance of the three Sima brothers in Hanoi in history, Cai Ji couldn't help but look up and down at the blue-clothed young man in front of him, and then asked with interest, "Sima Boda and Sima Zhongda are Brother Ling?" ”

Sima Fu unequivocally admitted, "Exactly. ”

Sima Fu's frank style is quite consistent with the records of later history books. Unlike Sima Yi, who is ambitious and strategic, Sima Fu is gentle and honest. Be cautious and steady. In history, Sima Fu was the literary scholar of Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi, and was later promoted to the prince's concubine, and then assisted Cao Pi all the way to the emperor. After Cao Pi's death, Sima Fu assisted his son Cao Rui. and was in charge of the finances of the State of Wei. During this period, Sima Fu believed that in order to capture the enemy and win, he should be prepared first, and every time Zhuge Liang invaded the Guanzhong area, the soldiers on the border could not resist. It is necessary to mobilize the central army to go to the battlefield. There was always no time to prepare in a hurry, so 20,000 infantry troops should be selected in advance, divided into two divisions, for the purpose of engagement. In addition, the Guanzhong region has been fighting for many years, and the grain and material reserves are insufficient, so 5,000 farmers should be mobilized from Jizhou to camp in Shangqi, train in autumn and winter, and camp in spring and summer. It was these policies of Sima Fu that gave the Wei army the upper hand in the tug-of-war with the Shu army.

It can be seen that Sima Fu pays attention to the sword and the gun. Steady. However, there are occasional exceptions, when Sima Yi launched the "Gaopingling Incident" in history. The coup seized power, and Sima Fu, together with Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi, stationed troops in Sima Gate to control Jingshi. Therefore, Cai Ji believes that Sima Fu's adventure to study in Longkou is mostly due to the needs of the family.

As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many families with many talents. For example, the three brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Dan of the Langya Zhuge family are now working in the three kingdoms of Wu, Jing, and Wei respectively. It is not surprising that the Sima family in Hanoi sent a son to the state of Qi when the north was divided into the two states of Qi and Wei.

Therefore, in the face of Sima Fu, who confessed his identity, Cai Ji only smiled indifferently and said, "I have heard that Sima Bada is famous, and when I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation." I wish Sima Langjun success in Longkou. ”

Sima Fu originally thought that Cai Ji would restrict his two brothers from studying in the Jiangwutang because of his two brothers' careers in the Wei State, or simply recruit him to become a scholar in the Qi State. But he never expected that the female princes in front of him would be generous enough to bless him with success in his studies. Sima Fu, who was deeply confused for a while, couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "Lord Qi is not afraid that Yu Xuecheng will return to Wei after completing his studies?" ”

As soon as Sima Fu's words came out, he immediately attracted the unanimous attention of the surrounding students and guards. From that line of sight, Sima Fu could clearly feel the hostility coming from all directions. But even so, he still insisted on having an open and honest conversation with the Qi master. Because as Cai Ji judged, Sima Fu was indeed sent by his family to Qi State. It is true that Sima Fu has long been familiar with the story of Cai Ji's self-made business, but he still has to test it himself in order to confirm whether the woman in front of him is worthy of his Sima Fu's allegiance.

Facing Sima Fu's question, Cai Ji looked around at the crowd, followed the eyes that looked at Sima Fu and said proudly, "If you are born in Huainan, you will be orange, and if you are born in Huaibei, you will be orange." When today, only the lonely can make Qi Fa go freely in the world! ”

Cai Ji's self-confidence undoubtedly infected everyone present. Tian Feng twisted his long beard and squinted his eyes and bowed his head repeatedly, and the martial arts students led by Guo Yi and Wang Xiang held their heads high one by one, as if they had seen the wonderful scene of Cai Ji unifying the world at this moment. Although Sima Fu did not blindly believe in Cai Ji like Guo Yi and Wang Xiang, he still felt Cai Ji's firm belief from the sentence "When only lonely can make Qi Fa walk freely in the world". It is said that Sima Fubo was involved in history, and he and his brothers were on the way to migrate, but they still did not forget to study and study by themselves. Sima Fu summed up an experience from the vast historical books, that is, any change needs a strong-willed monarch to back, otherwise even if you are Jiang Shang and Guan Zhong reincarnated, it will be useless. In Sima Fu's opinion, the Qi Lord at least had a clear and ambitious goal, knowing what he was doing, not a puppet of his courtiers.

Meanwhile. In Cai Ji's eyes, the martial arts students on the scene and even Sima Fu in front of her are her hope and the hope of the world in the future. Because what Cai Ji pursues is to transform the world in the process of unifying the world. This is a huge undertaking, and it cannot be achieved by just one or two strong men and talents. Therefore, Cai Ji has been trying to spread her ideas all along. In order to attract more people to recognize her work and pass on her ideas from generation to generation in the future.

Thinking of the concept inheritance, Cai Ji's mind involuntarily appeared Cao Pi's figure. There is no doubt that this little husband is an extremely special existence for Cai Ji. On the one hand, Cai Ji recognized Cao Pi's talent and tenacious character, and on the other hand, Cao Pi's special identity made Cai Ji worry about him deep down. Of course, Cai Ji's concern was not that he was afraid of being usurped by the historical Emperor Wen of Wei, but that Cao Pi would not be able to position him properly.

There is a saying that "it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country". At present, the country of Qi is in a period of rapid development, and many internal and external contradictions have been covered up by the thriving performance. However, once the speed of development slows down, the hidden contradictions will erupt like a volcanic eruption. This requires Cai Ji, as a monarch, to prepare in advance.

From the perspective of imperial power. Allowing the subordinates to form a triangle of civil, military, and noble to restrain each other can form a stability mechanism similar to a pyramid, so that the dynasty can achieve a balance in contradictions. As the name suggests, the civil and military are bureaucrats and armies. You can be a relative or a eunuch. In short, it is the person close to the emperor. In terms of identity and qualifications, Cao Pi is far more suitable to become a corner of the iron triangle than Cai Yan, who has a pure personality. But Cao Pi is still too young after all, and his mind is not mature enough to occupy a corner on his own. Therefore, in Cai Ji's eyes, Cao Pi is just a blank that still needs to be tempered.

Cao Pi didn't know what Cai Ji expected of him. In order to prove his ability and loyalty to his wife, he is currently serving as a team assistant training recruit in Nanpi Zhichong. As the first batch of martial arts students to be sent to Zhichong Mansion for military training, Cao Pi thought that he was fully mentally prepared for the difficulties he was about to face. However, when he stood on the school floor and counted the fifty recruits under him. only to find that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

First of all. Cao Pi was confronted with fifty crooked peasants, who were talking to each other, standing without standing or sitting. But it was such a group of farmers who had never been in battle and had never seen blood, but at this moment, they all looked at Cao Pi, who was their team vice, with suspicion and disdain. Again, not only the recruits in front of him, but also Liu Tong, the team leader standing behind Cao Pi, clasped his arms and nostrils to the sky, and did not hide his contempt for Cao Pi at all.

In fact, Cao Pi is not the only one who suffers from this treatment. Although the Zhichong Prefecture has only been established for a short time, the military academies in the prefecture are all served by the garrisons of the original counties. To put it bluntly, they are all old acquaintances who don't look up and don't look down. Now, a group of young people who have not grown up at the top of the country have been suddenly sent to the military government for military training. It will inevitably make the veterans in the military government jealous. Those who are more cautious may also be kind to the airborne martial arts students on the bright side. If you meet someone like Liu Tong, not only will you not have a good look, but you will also have to run into a bad horse.

But for Cao Pi, who has grown up in hostility since he was thirteen years old. This bit of pressure is nothing. At the moment, he was most concerned about how to establish his prestige in front of the recruits. Since this place is a military camp, it is natural to be respected by martial arts. Thinking of this, Cao Pi suddenly had a plan. Seeing that he finished reading the recruits, he casually closed the roster, and then said loudly to the recruits present, "Are there any people who practice martial arts?" ”

As soon as Cao Pi's words fell, six tall men immediately walked out of the crowd. I saw one of the strong men with a dark face and as thick as a cow hugging his fist at Cao Pi, "My name is Ge Heiniu, the deputy of the team, Bibi?" ”

It stands to reason that the words of this black-faced strong man are disrespectful and extremely unreasonable, but Liu Tong, the team leader standing behind Cao Pi, not only did not stop the other party, but followed and coaxed, "Deputy Cao is a big man from Longkou, how can he be afraid of you and other people!" ”

Cao Pi already had the intention of using martial arts to establish power, and when he put the roster in his arms, he raised his right hand and smiled at Ge Heiniu, who took the initiative to provoke, "Please!" ”

Na Ge Hei Niu got Liu Teamzheng's eyes, and with a "whoosh" sound, he swooped down towards Cao Pi like Mount Tai pressing down. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi flashed sideways lightly, and with the inertia of the other party's air, he pulled Ge Heiniu's right arm and twisted it gently. Hearing only a click, Ge Heiniu, who was as strong as a cow a moment ago, fell to the ground with his right arm in the blink of an eye, curled up like a sick cat.

Zhu Laifu and dozens of colleagues stretched their necks together and looked at the new team vice-in-command, and with one move, they knocked down the strongest Ge Hei Niu in the whole team. Just as everyone was talking at a glance, Zhu Laifu suddenly blurted out as if he remembered something, "I... I've seen the vice-captain! He opened the door for you! ”

Li Harrier on the side sneered disapprovingly, "What? The king's guards are here? Why don't you say that he is a king's man? ”

Zhu Laifu just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he heard another miserable cry from the front. I saw that in the blink of an eye, another strong man was put to the ground by Cao Pi. The others obviously didn't expect that the team deputy in front of him, who looked less than twenty years old, would be such a powerful stubble. The remaining four strong men did not have the courage to single out Cao Pi, nor did they dare to disobey Liu Tong's orders. So the four of them exchanged glances with each other, and then rushed towards Cao Pi from four different directions.

Cao Pi studied under Dian Wei in his early years, and then fought in Qi Ying for many years, so the grappling techniques he was proficient in were all aimed at killing, and there was never a concept of point to point. At this moment, in the face of the menacing and ghostly four people, Cao Pi was even more ruthless, and there were soon four more wailing sick cats on the ground in a flash.

Liu Tong, who was going to give Cao Pi a dismissal, saw that the six thugs he had selected were put down by the other party one by one in an instant, and his face instantly turned black as ink. At this time, Cao Pi completely ignored Liu Zheng's team, who was already angry behind him, but when he saw him step over Ge Heiniu who was curled up on the ground, he took a deep breath and shouted at the bustling recruits in front of him, "Silence! ”

Not to mention that the killing of chickens and monkeys just now was really effective, the recruits who were still coaxing before were drunk by Cao Pi and immediately shut up. Seeing this situation, Cao Pi glanced at the quiet recruits in front of him with a cold eyebrow with satisfaction, and then stood up with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "At least three months, at most half a year, you must fight." If you don't want to die without a corpse, you can practice with your spare time from today onwards! ”

Cao Pi's words were not intended to intimidate the recruits. In troubled times, even in the territory of Qi State, there were few robbers and bandits. It is the duty of the soldiers to protect the side, so whenever there is a war, no matter how prepared the recruits are, they must be sent to the battlefield. In fact, there was no concept of recruit training in this era, and the princes pulled the strong men to the battlefield, and it was the cannon fodder who died, and the veterans who survived. So the time left for Zhu Laifu and other recruits is really not enough. (To be continued......)
