Chapter 407: The Great War Begins
You don't need Huo Qu's illness to mention Liu De, you also know that Fan Zhongyan is a great talent, Fan Zhongyan once served as a political counselor, and then launched the "Qingli New Deal". The governor was one of the highest political officials in the Tang and Song dynasties, to put it bluntly, that is, the deputy prime minister.
Liu De quite solemnly invited Fan Zhongyan to go to the big tent to talk, and Xu Shu and the others who followed Liu De were also more curious, except for Cheng Yu, who was a newcomer, the other three had been with Liu De for a long time, and they knew that Liu De's biggest strength was that he was extremely accurate.
Therefore, the middle-aged scribe in front of him must also be strategic, full of wealth.
Fan Zhongyan introduced his wife and concubine to Liu De, as well as his two sons, the eldest son Fan Chunyou and the second son Fan Chunren.
Fan Chunyou was extremely smart when he was young, and at the age of ten, he was able to read books, articles, and successively served as the chief bookkeeper and the supervisor of Sizhu, but then he was ill for 19 years and died at the age of 49.
Fan Chunren has a simple and generous personality, and his official position is the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Our Fan Wenzhenggong should have two sons in history, especially the youngest son, named Fan Chun, who was born when Fan Zhongyan was 57 years old.
Comrade Lao Fan is a model for Liu De!
When he arrived at the big tent, Liu De asked Fan Zhongyan about some of his governance measures.
Fan Zhongyan saw that Liu Denai was sincerely seeking advice, so he happily said: "If there is chaos today, if you want to make a difference, you must follow three points, one of which is in the rule of officials, and the selection of officials is particularly important.
I have heard that the general held the imperial examination in Yanzhou, this is really a genius move, there is the imperial examination, in less than five years, Yanzhou grassroots officials will be enriched, coupled with the establishment of Yanzhou College, Yanzhou will no longer have to compromise with the family because of the lack of officials.
These officials are then also subject to evaluation, with a small examination every three years and a major examination every five years, and if there are officials with outstanding political achievements, they can be promoted on an exceptional basis, and those who are incompetent and guilty will be removed and tried. ”
Fan Zhongyan paused for a moment, took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "The second is to enrich the country and strengthen the army. In this regard, the general's policy of tuntian in Yanzhou was greatly admired, and the general also exempted the people of Yanzhou from forced labor and used foreign captives to compensate, which was very conducive to reducing the burden of the people! ”
"In this respect, the cultivation of armaments can recruit strong men, the soldiers and peasants are one, they can cultivate in peacetime, train in leisure time, and go out in wartime, and such soldiers can serve as auxiliaries, save money, and if the front line is frustrated, they can quickly pull up a large army in the rear, instead of conscripting those young men who have never been trained."
Liu De and Xu Shu listened very carefully, and when they saw Fan Zhongyan talking about Xing, they stood up and said: "The third is to strictly enforce the rule of law, re-order, the order issued from the state government must be strictly discussed in detail, and can only be promulgated to the local government after it is mature, once it is promulgated, it must be complied with, and it must not be changed at will, otherwise it will be punished." In this way, the people will trust the decrees of the government and obey them.
The decrees issued by the state government must be strictly implemented, and if there is any prevarication or obstruction in the local counties, they should be dealt with strictly, and patrol messengers should be dispatched to supervise the implementation of the local decrees, so that the government can be harmonious! ”
Xu Shu and the four of them all know a lot about political affairs, but when they saw Fan Zhongyan's series of measures, they all expressed their admiration: "Mr. is really talented!" ”
And the three of them also raised their own questions and discussed them with Fan Zhongyan one by one.
And Liu De also took advantage of this to check Fan Zhongyan's attributes with stunts:
Character: Fan Zhongyan
Gender: Male
Age: 44/63
Injuries: Healthy
Forces: Opposition {not yet under Liu De}
Identity: Scholars
Official position: None
Title: None

......
Fan Zhongyan can lead the army, and the wisdom and government are all good, especially the charm directly breaks 100, and the system gives me a talent as a prime minister!
Then Liu De said: "Mr. Fan, our army is lacking a talent like Mr. Fan, is Mr. willing to serve as the head of a county and do something for the people?" ”
"Don't dare to ask for ears, but you can do what you want! In the next vow, a small official under the Lord's public account, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and the people are benefited. Fan Zhongyan knelt down and bowed.
As Fan Zhongyan himself said, if you want to stabilize your rule, the first thing is to rule by officials, although Fan Zhongyan said that the political measures in his mouth opened his eyes, but Liu De still couldn't let Fan Zhongyan take up an important position as a high-ranking official all of a sudden, and first went to a county as a prince, as long as he made merits, then the promotion would definitely be fast.
Liu De thinks that if you want to serve as the prime minister of a country, you must start from the grassroots level and experience them one by one, of course, it is definitely not suitable to put it in the township pavilion, but the position of the county minister is just right, assisting the county order, the affairs are complicated, and it is close to the bottom.
From the county to the county order, to the county and the Taishou, to the state capital, to the imperial court, by then he may have opened a mansion and built a tooth, just like Cao Cao.
Of course, when that time comes, I will reform the military system and the official system from the new. Internal reform requires relative stability externally, and it is not yet time.
Liu De appointed Fan Zhongyan as the Cheng of Changlong County, of course, Fan Zhongyan did not set off immediately, but was left by Liu De in the army as a strategist, and waited for the post after the war. If there is merit, it will be rewarded.
Liu De also sent a battalion of soldiers and horses to escort Fan Zhongyan's wife and concubines to Liaocheng for resettlement, after all, it was inconvenient for his family to be in the army at this time, and it was too dangerous.
......
Day 2.
The sound of drums at the head of Beiping City, and the sound of hào horns resounded in all directions.
Yang Tianlong is wearing a golden glazed armor, wearing a golden helmet, and a dragon pattern is depicted on it, the style is magnificent, and the sun shines brightly, dazzling.
Wearing a golden cloak, swishing in the wind, under his crotch is also a precious horse, very handsome.
It was followed by hundreds of civil and military officials, 100,000 soldiers on the side, and the flag covered the sky and the sun, which was magnificent.
The autumn wind was blowing, Liu De led the generals to meet each other, compared with Yang Tianlong's 100,000 army, Liu De's side seemed to be slightly lacking.
Liu De saw the rather imposing Yang Jun, and immediately laughed and said: "This Yang Tianlong is shining with golden light, doesn't this tell us that he is a big target?" ”
"Haha!"
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they laughed one after another, and Liu De's words were also passed to the ears of the soldiers behind.
Of course, Yang Tianlong could hear Liu De's laughter, but he didn't know what Liu De was laughing at, if he knew, he would be angry!
The two armies stood still in one stone's throw away.
