Chapter 20: A Man's Slow Life
The quality of a person's mood can easily be reflected in their body movements.
Even if Zhang Yuan gave Li Jian a preventive injection in advance, there was still a slight tremor on Li Jian's fitness.
The Han Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and the people were fierce, from the emperor to the common people, all of them were brave and aggressive, although Li Jian was a scholar, his martial arts would not be bad.
It's a strange thing that a big Han didn't want to kill the Huns.
"Brother Li, doesn't there be a way to enter the army at home?"
Zhang Yuan asked tentatively, how could the old fritters who had been able to mix more than 20 people in the army and retired without acquaintances in the army.
Li Jian shook his head in embarrassment.
"My father is a soldier in the Liang Kingdom, and after the Seven Kings Rebellion, I came to Shu County, and I know some people from the Liang Kingdom.
If you want to obtain military merits, you can only go to the north to kill the Huns, and the chances of joining the northern army to fight the Huns will increase. ”
The only way to stuff people into the army is through Wei Qing, but even if Wei Qing can loosen his mouth, Gong Wei only belongs to the Southern Army, and the chance of making contributions is even slimmer.
"Brother Li didn't think about becoming an official in the court?"
It is difficult for civil officials to become marquis, but it is easier to obtain a title than in the army, at least there is no need to fight for their lives.
Zhang Yuan asked, this sentence is completely in Li Jian's eyes, he is a full man, he doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry.
"The rules of the family, I will take over as the head of the family in the future, and I can't be a small official. As for being an official, Wen Taishou has always disliked the most about me, a descendant of a noble who has exchanged military merits for a knighthood. ”
Now it seems that the competition between the nobles is far more cruel than that between ordinary people, and it is difficult for Li Jian to become like this, which Zhang Yuan did not expect.
If it were in other places, it would be easy for these nobles to be recommended by the county commander, but almost all the places recommended by the officials in Shu County were given to the scholars of the Han Sect by Wen Weng, otherwise Li Jian would not want to fight for his life and kill the enemy.
Zhang Yuan had the qualifications to appoint a small official, and he did not appoint Zongxing and Erdan, who came with him, entirely because he thought that he would resign after this errand.
"If Brother Li can help you, I will also help, there is really no way to do this matter, I have been farming in Chang'an for several years, and I haven't done anything, although I have met Your Majesty a few times, but I don't know the generals in the army."
At this time, Li Jian's father came out of nowhere and also came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion.
"Jian'er, what the envoy said is right, this matter is too difficult for a strong man.
However, since the envoy said that he had been planting in Chang'an for a few years, it would be good if he could bring the athletes to Chang'an to farm. ”
Li Jian and Zhang Yuan both showed stunned expressions, Zhang Yuan was surprised that this old guy had been listening to the two of them all the time, and Li Jian was surprised that his father asked him to go farming.
"Father, this matter..."
Li Li waved his hand, and then walked towards Zhang Yuan.
"This matter is so decided, the envoy should not refuse Jian'er to come to your mansion to make a living from farming."
Although he felt that he might have been calculated, Zhang Yuan still nodded.
He felt that his crisis was much greater than that of the Li family, and being sandwiched between Tian Wei and Liu Che was less dangerous than going into battle to kill the enemy.
Li Li saw that Li Jian was about to refute, so he directly pulled Li Jian away with one hand.
Zhang Yuan looked at the backs of the two of them, shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Now that he has become a high-ranking celebrity in the eyes of others, it is a little funny to think about it. I love
Sima Xiangru was crazy all morning, and asked the officials up and down the Taishou Mansion to copy hundreds of copies of the "Edict Ba Shu Xuan" for him.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Yuan saw the books drying in the sun, all over the yard and on the roof.
Sima Xiangru's anxious mood can be seen, and when he learned that Zhang Yuan was back, Sima Xiangru ran out of the house directly and ran to Zhang Yuan's side.
Stretched out his left hand and slammed it into Zhang Yuan's face.
"Ribbon."
Zhang Yuan sighed, took off the seal ribbon from his waist and handed it to Sima Xiangru.
If you don't go crazy, you can't live.
Thinking about Li Jian and thinking about Sima Xiangru, Zhang Yuan will inevitably sigh a little in his heart.
All the people were in a hurry, eager to make meritorious contributions and eager to be promoted, the common people were also anxious to get a better life, and the emperor was anxious to completely wipe out the Xiongnu in the north of the Han Dynasty.
The slow life I want to live is so out of place with all of this.
In the afternoon, hundreds of copies of the "Edict to Bashu" were sent to the three counties of Bashu by the officials in the Taishou Mansion of Shu County, as well as the soldiers who escorted Zhang Yuan and them to the land of Bashu.
Those in Guanghan County and Ba County were directly sent to their county governors, Taishou Mansion, and then distributed by the local Taishou Mansion.
The efficiency is extremely fast, of course, Sima Xiangru didn't forget to ask people to go back and bring a copy to Liu Che, originally said that they would take Xiaoya and his party of six to Chang'an tomorrow, but now they can only set off in the afternoon.
Zhang Yuan didn't have to do anything to appease the people personally, it was enough for him to go around Chengdu City with a talisman.
After Huo Zhong led a group of officials under Daxing to finish Sima Xiang's affairs, he went down to the counties and townships under Shu County to distribute supplies.
This is what Zhang Yuan explained to do, in order to avoid corruption by officials at all levels, and in the end there are only a few dots in the hands of the people, so Sima Xiangru's accusation can only cause greater disgust among the people.
"Honorable envoy, the grandson of King Zhuo of Shu Shang and his daughter Zhuo Wenjun asked to see him outside the mansion, saying that he wanted to donate money and food to the people."
A Taishou Mansion Sashi entered Zhang Yuan's room and reported truthfully.
After Li Jian said this, Zhang Yuan kept waiting for Zhuo Wangsun to come, but he didn't expect Zhuo Wangsun to come in this way.
It's still the same attitude that can't be rejected by others.
"Let Zhuo Wangsun go directly to Wen Taishou, and hand over the matter of donating money and food to Wen Taishou."
I'll have to see you if you donate money? Without Zhuo Wenjun, it was necessary to open up to Zhuo Wangsun, a profiteer.
"Whoa."
Obviously, this Zuoshi also thinks that the people of Shu County should be managed by Wen Weng.
At this time, Zhuo Wangsun, who had pulled ten carts of grain and two boxes of copper coins, heard that Zuo Shi said that Zhang Yuan would not see him, and his face suddenly changed.
Originally, I thought that these things could be used as stepping stones, but now it seems that they can only be wasted.
"Please also ask Sashi to lead the old man to see Wen Taishou."
Zhuo Wangsun is a smart person, no matter how unhappy he is in his heart, he has no seizures outside the Taishou Mansion.
Zhuo Wenjun was also a little surprised after listening to it, Zhang Yuan always made things that exceeded the imagination of others.
After Zuo Shi ordered people to carry the money and grain to the treasury of the Taishou Mansion, he introduced the father and daughter of King Zhuo into the Taishou Mansion.
